Chapter Ninety-Two: Lonely Scar
It's night.
The palace was silent, the candle flame in the house was beating, the light and darkness were unclear, Si Nanyue cut off the candle core, and then sat down to embroider the orchid on the handkerchief.
But for some reason, she couldn't calm down today, and even the stitches took several wrong steps, and when she was restless, the embroidery needle accidentally poked her fingertips, and the blood dripped above the white silk and spread.
The wound on her hand was obviously small, but it was a pain in her heart, and she looked at the drop of blood on the handkerchief, and she didn't even hear the sound of Helian Duel pushing the door when he came in.
"What are you looking at so fascinating?" His voice was light, and his mood was much better than when Uduo left the other day.
Si Nanyue came back to her senses, subconsciously clenched her hands, hid them in her sleeves, and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, I'm just watching my wrong stitch, if it's Ximing, she will definitely laugh at me for being stupid."
He only thought that Si Nanyue missed the tea, and smiled and helped her cut her hair, "You are the princess of this king, just let your subordinates do these things, you don't need to hurt yourself."
"Yes."
She replied in a low voice, put away the blood-stained veil, and asked casually, "Your Highness is in a good mood today, is there any good news?"
If she hadn't turned her back to him at this time, she could have noticed that his expression was strange in an instant, and then she smiled, hugged Si Nanyue tightly behind her back, and greedily sniffed the fragrance in her hair.
Finally...... She finally belonged to him alone, but he couldn't share this joy with her.
Helian only said, "Your health is getting better day by day, and this king is naturally happy to see it."
She didn't answer, and her stabbed finger was like being eaten by insects, and it hurt all the way to the tip of her heart, and her heart was even more uneasy......
On the other side, after the doctor finished speaking, Si Nanchen was like five thunderbolts, and he was almost on the ground.
"How...... How so!"
Through the tears, Si Nanchen saw Jiang Jifeng's lips humming, as if he was about to say something, he endured his sadness and leaned over, listening to Jiang Jifeng call in an inaudible voice: "Nanyue...... Nanyue ......"
Si Nanchen felt a heartache, he pretended to be calm and dismissed everyone, he couldn't hold back the sorrow in his heart anymore, and the sobs from time to time turned into a low cry in a suppressed voice, "Brother Jifeng, we haven't rescued the eldest sister yet, you must not have an accident......
The big hand gently stroked the hair on the top of the young man's head, and Jiang Ji said angrily: "Fortunately, it was not you who had the accident, otherwise...... Otherwise, how can I explain to Nanyue......
"Brother Ji Feng......"
"They are all men who are about to go to war, how can they cry more than when they were children......
He trembled his hands and wiped away the tears on Si Nanchen's face, "It's a pity that I can't survive that time......
"Brother Jifeng won't!" Si Nanchen grabbed his hand tightly, "Think about what you promised your eldest sister, you haven't taken her back to Zelu City yet, you can't leave like this, I don't allow you to leave like this!"
"yes...... Zeru Castle ......"
His voice grew weaker and weaker, until at last he could only see his frost-stained lips humming, but he could not hear his voice.
"Brother Ji Feng...... Brother Jifeng!!"
Si Nanchen almost collapsed, he cried at a loss, not at all rational and calm as usual.
Just when he was about to despair, the guards suddenly came to report: "Shaojun, there is a strange person outside the door, he said that there is a way to save Young Master Jiang."
Si Nanchen couldn't care much at this time, and then shouted, "Bring him in!"
From time to time, a man walked in unhurriedly outside the door, and at first glance the man seemed to be surrounded by a gray mist, his body was like a ghost, his face was as thin as firewood, and in the middle of the night, he was only wrapped in a gray linen coat.
Si Nanchen got up and said to the man, "If Mr. can revive him, the conditions are as open as you like."
The man didn't speak, he walked to the bed, looked at Jiang Jifeng who was dying, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He stretched out his hand to Jiang Jifeng without hurrying, only to see a red centipede of chopsticks crawling out of his sleeve, crawling along his wrist to the edge of the couch, squirming and crawling onto Jiang Jifeng's face, and finally stopped at his pale lips, with a hard hand
Shell's head arched a slit in his lip and drilled through it.
The guards beside him were numb when they saw it, and they couldn't help but shiver, Si Nanchen also frowned, and it took a while to realize that the person in front of him was actually using Gu worms to save Brother Jifeng.
This kind of evil art has always been mysterious, and Si Nanchen has only read a few words about Gu magic in the eldest sister's collection, and this is the first time he has met someone who can cast Gu.
Si Nanchen suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, whether it was witchcraft or evil magic, as long as he could save Brother Ji Feng, he was willing to do anything.
I saw that the man took out a withered yellow bamboo flute from his bosom, put it on his chapped lips and blew it, the voice was sharp and piercing, and the listener had a headache.
Jiang Jifeng had just lost consciousness, but at the moment when the bamboo flute sounded, his body suddenly twitched, and the posture was very strange, it was not like a normal human being's movements, it was more like ...... It was like the centipede that had just burrowed into his mouth was twitching, and even Si Nanchen, who had always been bold, couldn't help but feel weird in his heart when he saw this scene.
And what surprised him even more was that Jiang Jifeng's hair was gradually turning white from a green silk to a speed visible to the naked eye, and the fatal wounds on his heart and abdomen were also healing at a speed, he was dumbfounded, although he had known that the Gu technique was treacherous, but everything in front of him was simply impossible for human beings to do!
From the time this Taoist priest entered the house to the time when he had less than a stick of incense, Jiang Jifeng's damaged body was almost intact, and his face and lips, which had turned blue from poisoning, had gradually become normal, but his white hair had ......
"Ah Chen......
I don't know when, Jiang Jifeng has woken up, as if he has slept and is not fully awake, he just wanted to stretch, but he was accidentally frightened by the person in front of the bed who was as thin as dry bones.
Jiang Jifeng subconsciously pulled the quilt and hid inside, exclaiming, "Ah Chen, who is he!"
"Giggle......
The man laughed deeply, he didn't seem to care about Jiang Jifeng's unreasonableness, but looked at Jiang Jifeng like a toy, and said in a hoarse voice, "You are really as interesting as she said."
"She? Who is she?" Jiang Jifeng felt that this person was very weird, he pulled the quilt to cover ***'s body, "I don't sleep in the house in the middle of the night, come to see me sleep, you are perverted!"
"Brother Ji Feng......"
Although Brother Jifeng's appearance has changed a little, his body has recovered intact as before, Si Nanchen's nose is sore, and tears are rolling in his eyes, but in front of outsiders, he can't show his weak side.
He smiled for the rest of his life, "Brother Jifeng, you forgot, you were poisoned by an assassin's sneak attack, and it was this gentleman who saved your life."
"Poisoned?"
Jiang Jifeng tried hard to recall what had happened before, and scenes flashed through his mind, he had a terrible headache, and said intermittently: "That little fat man asked me to hold him and take off the kite hanging on the branch, but I just passed, but he ...... But he stabbed me...... Right! He actually attacked me! Ah Chen, we are exposed!!"
The man laughed again, he looked at Jiang Jifeng coldly, and said, "You have already been exposed."
"How is this possible?" Jiang Jifeng couldn't believe it, "We are very careful along the way, how can we be discovered?!"
"My kids tell me you're all over the eyeliner, but don't worry, after all...... Those eyeliners are already dead."
The man opened his mouth with a sound of rustling, and all kinds of poisonous insects crawled out of the corner of the room and the roof, and they gathered around the man's feet as if consciously, and he also squatted down and blew the bamboo flute, and after a while the poisonous insects scattered again, and I don't know where they crawled again.
Jiang Jifeng's eyes straightened when he was shocked by all this, and he pointed at the man who wanted to say something, but he couldn't organize the language.
Si Nanchen had already seen his magic, and he was not so surprised, he arched his hand and said: "Sir is not a mortal, and the medical expenses naturally cannot be calculated in silver, and please ask Sir to put forward conditions, as long as Si Nanchen can do it, he will definitely satisfy Mr."
The man slowly moved his gaze to Si Nanchen, staring at him with a hollow and numb gaze for a long time before he said, "Wrong, I didn't save him, I just Yan
It's just a long time for him to die."
Si Nanchen's heart tightened, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
"I use the Weaving Life Gu to renew his life, but the Weaving Life Gu needs to be fed with blood by the owner every day, if there is no blood for a day, it will eat the owner, and the Gu only has a lifespan of half a year, after half a year, the Gu dies, and there is no medicine to save it."
"Half-year life ......"
Si Nanchen was instantly drained of his strength, slumped on the wooden chair, he looked at Jiang Jifeng in a daze, and repeated: "It's only half a year......
"Half a year is enough!" Jiang Jifeng couldn't see the slightest sadness, as if the person who was diagnosed as certain to die was not him, "Within half a year, I will definitely be able to break through the red abyss and rescue Nanyue!"
After speaking, he jokingly comforted Si Nanchen and said, "Ah Chen, you also know that your father and his old man have not been waiting to see me, and I will go to visit his old man first after half a year, and wait for Nanyue to be a hundred years old, so that he can agree to our marriage, isn't it not bad to think about it like this?"
"Brother Ji Feng......"
In the end, it was a newly grown child, Ah Chen couldn't accept it for a while, and tears flowed down as soon as he opened his mouth.
Jiang Jifeng deliberately laughed at him and said, "Why do you cry more than when you were a child, when Nanxing comes back and sees you like this, he will definitely laugh at you, ah...... By the way, don't tell her about me yet, lest she cry and cry and look upset, hmm...... Looking back, I don't think I've ever seen her cry, so it's better to tease her once in a while to see if she has me as a master in her heart......
"Brother Jifeng!"
Si Nanchen couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly stepped forward and hugged him, Jiang Jifeng's body was stunned, and his voice stopped abruptly.
He inappropriately remembered that this kid came to him for support after being taught a lesson by Nanxing, and he cried worse than now.
After a while, Jiang Jifeng pulled out a wry smile and patted Si Nanchen's thicker shoulder, "It's okay, you are the child taught by Nanyue and Lady Yulin, and you are the future monarch of Zelu City, we have lost too much in this battlefield, but no matter who leaves, Brother Jifeng believes that you can go on."
His rare soft-spoken comfort, Si Nanchen didn't want to worry him anymore, so he suppressed the sadness in his heart and stood back in place.
Xu felt that it was too embarrassing to cry in front of outsiders, Si Nanchen coughed lightly twice, and asked the man: "Today's incident happened suddenly, and I haven't asked Mr. for his name."
The man looked at him with interest, his chapped lips opened, and said, "You are different from what she said, but you have a good skin, which is suitable for raising Gu."
"She?" Si Nanchen looked at him suspiciously.
The man smiled mysteriously and said, "My name is Lonely."
