20 Questioning
When she opened her eyes, all she saw was a white ceiling and the smell of medicine residue, and she turned her head sideways to see Qi Xue sitting on the edge of the bed with a medicine bowl, looking at herself worriedly.
"Are you awake? Drink this medicine soon? Qi Xue said busily.
Jielan was a little puzzled and said, "Where are we?" ”
"You're still in the paddock, you're injured, and the commander brought you here, and boiled medicine, drink it quickly, you're so badly injured, it will definitely take a long time to recover with spiritual power alone."
Jielan didn't have the heart to drink the medicine, but said, "Don't those guards, including the city lord, blame us?" ”
"You saved the city lord, does he still want to arrest you, even if he wants to arrest me, how can he arrest the person who saved him." Qi Xue is still a little bitter about the ruthlessness of the city lord of Fang Cai.
"So is he willing to agree to save Chengfeng?" Jielan couldn't help but rejoice.
Qi Xue shook her head and sighed, "I heard that the city lord was not lightly injured, and he is still being treated?" However, I heard that he did not let the imperial doctor heal, but directly summoned the green devil, presumably he wanted to borrow the power of the green devil to treat his injuries, this city lord is too hateful, what do you think of the green devil? What else do you say not to let the Blue Devil be owned by the people of the world for fear of affecting the law of life, to put it simply, he just wants to monopolize the power of the Blue Devil, this kind of city lord is too much..."Qi Xue was too angry, so she scolded angrily, and Jielan was afraid that she would cause trouble by talking too much, so she covered her mouth with her hand and motioned for her not to say any more.
"It's no better than other places, Xue, your willful temperament has to be restrained, if you don't say the right word, not only will it kill you and me, but it is more likely to implicate Chengfeng Longyi and them, do you understand?" Jielan is calmer and more stable than Qixue, so she thinks about it a little more.
Although Qi Xue was angry after hearing this, she was also silent. Jielan got out of bed and said, "I want to go and see the Blue Demon Lord, I don't know what kind of person he is, and I also want to see if the city lord is okay." ”
"If you want to go, you have to drink this bowl of medicine before you go!" Qi Xue said angrily.
Jielan knew that she couldn't resist Qi Xue, she smiled slightly, took the medicine bowl, drank it in one go, and then ran out of the tent without caring about the injury on her back, and Qi Xue also followed quickly.
The two of them came out of the tent, but saw that the tent was full of guards patrolling around, and at the big tent, there were countless soldiers guarding, and it seemed that it was the camp of the city lord.
Jielan walked over, and when the commander of Liutao saw Jielan, he saw that she was seriously injured and got out of bed and broke here, and hurriedly stopped: "Please stop here, the city lord is healing inside, don't disturb, the messenger is also seriously injured, please go back to the tent to rest, and when the city lord's injury is healed, I will invite the two of you to meet the city lord." ”
Jielan frowned, and was quite suspicious in her heart, this commander said to wait for the city lord to recover? He was so seriously injured, how could he heal in such a short period of time, maybe he just said in passing, "No, I'm in good health, since the city lord is healing his injuries, Qi Xue and I can wait here, the commander doesn't have to take care of us, and we won't disturb the city lord's healing." ”
The commander didn't care about Jielan and them, just stayed there and waited.
After waiting for about half an hour, I saw the curtain of the tent opened, and out of it came a female palace man, who pulled a little boy in a short green robe, this little boy had a beautiful face, and his long black hair fell down, corresponding to his small face like a disc, which looked very pitiful, but what was interesting was that the little boy was expressionless, as if he had been numb by the most painful things, and his eyes looked so godless, so empty, as if his soul had been detached from the shell, It became like a puppet.
Jielan expected that the little boy in front of her was the Blue Devil, she looked at this boy who seemed to be less than twelve years old, and she had infinite emotion in her heart, such a little child, who could not be happy under the knees of his parents, but was forcibly brought to this city court and became a tool to heal others, who could understand his helplessness and pain?
While he was pondering, he heard the voice of the city lord from inside the tent camp, "Tell me to lead Liutao!" His voice sounded loud at this time, and there was no sign of weakness from injury, as if he had really healed the wounds he had suffered in this moment. Jielan couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't know what this city lord had done to the Blue Devil, but it was conceivable that he must have borrowed the power of the Blue Devil to get better so quickly.
Commander Liutao listened to the order and went in, but after a while, he came out again, walked towards Jielan, and said, "The Lord has summoned you, you should hurry up and go in to meet the city lord!" ”
Jielan nodded, and walked towards the tent camp with some nervousness, Qi Xue wanted to follow, but was stopped by Liutao, and said coldly: "The Lord only summoned her, you wait outside." "Because Qi Xue had insulted the city lord, Liu Tao spoke to her with hostility.
Qi Xue snorted, but she didn't dare to resist, so she had to watch Jielan enter the tent alone, and she was full of anxiety, afraid that the city lord would embarrass Jielan.
After Jielan entered the tent camp, but when she saw the city lord of Yuqing sitting on a tiger chair, he smiled faintly, and she didn't look like she was injured at all, and Jielan bowed down to him. But he didn't expect that the city lord of Yuqing was so busy that he got up and walked over, helped Jielan up, and said: "You saved the life of the master, the master is grateful to you, and you should let the lord salute you." ”
When Jielan heard this, she didn't feel flattered, but felt very strange, she saw that the city lord was only half a step away from her, so she was busy taking a step back, and said: "I just see danger to save me, the city lord doesn't have to be like this, if the city lord really wants to thank me, I don't know if I can ask the city lord for anything." ”
Yu Qing frowned and said, "You want the Lord to order the Blue Devil to treat the White Devil Chengfeng, right?" ”
Jielan nodded, "I hope that the city lord can understand my feelings and save him for the sake of saving the city lord." ”
Yu Qing carefully looked at Jielan for a long time, looking at the beautiful and arrogant woman in front of him, how could he not care, he was silent for a long time, and said, "What do you have to do with that Chengfeng?" I see that you care about him so much, is it because you have affection for him? ”
Jielan didn't expect this city lord to say this, her cheeks were red with shame, but she was also a little angry, and said categorically: "I am just friends with Chengfeng, and there is no other relationship, please be cautious." ”
After hearing this, Yu Qing actually looked a little happy, his frowning brows also stretched, and he said gently: "Really? That's rude. He was silent for a moment, and continued: "But if you want the lord to save him, the lord can't refuse to save the lord for thousands of miles, but the lord also told the whole city that the green devil is not allowed to treat anyone's injuries, if there is, not only the green devil will be punished, but even the cured person will be beheaded, the so-called king has no jokes, how can he regret what he said, but the lord can't ignore your request, well, let's do it, let the lord think carefully for two days, and after returning to the city, I will think of a foolproof plan, hoping to save your friend, so good?" ”
Although he didn't agree to his request immediately, Jielan felt that the tone and attitude of this city lord to him had already judged the two of them, why did he become like this, even Jielan herself didn't know why, maybe because he saved him, he was grateful, so he was so kind to himself.
"Thank you so much to the city lord, and please make sure to save my friend." Jielan thought of Chengfeng's hope, and she was a little happy in her heart.
"But I wonder who hurt him so badly that he needs the Blue Devil to heal him?" The city lord of Yuqing raised the question he had always had in his heart.
Jielan didn't want to mention Chengfeng's grieving past, but if she didn't say it, I'm afraid that the city lord wouldn't come to the rescue, so she had to say: "It's just because Chengfeng was killed by the Heavenly Maiden because he fell into the Demon Dao, so his injuries are serious and cannot be treated by mortal medical skills." ”
"Celestial Maiden?" This Yu Qing's expression changed slightly when he heard this, "I've only heard it before, but I've never seen it, but I didn't expect that there was indeed a heavenly maiden." He pondered for a moment and continued, "If the Blood Demon degenerates into a demon, will the Celestial Maiden kill him?" ”
Jielan didn't know why the city lord wanted to ask about the blood demon, she just nodded, not wanting to talk about the Heavenly Maiden, because she understood that she was also a blood demon, and ordinary people couldn't understand the feeling of being a blood demon and worrying that someone would kill her all the time.
"You... Bloodseeker, too, right? Yu Qing couldn't help asking.
Jielan bit her lip tightly, her eyebrows frowning slightly, obviously still quite mindful of her identity as a blood demon, she had to nod.
Yu Qing smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect that I would be so honored to have three blood demons here for a while, maybe this is also the will of heaven." ”
Jielan didn't understand what he meant, so she didn't take it to heart, she just cared about Chengfeng's injury, hoping that the city lord could save him.
When he was pondering, he saw Yu Qing take out a sun and moon bead chain from the cuff, the bead chain was dropped by Jielan when the white wolf was fighting, he handed the bead chain to Jielan, and said warmly: "This should be your thing, right?" ”
Jielan was a little surprised when she saw her bead chain, so she was busy taking it, holding it in the palm of her hand, looking up at Yu Qing, and saying, "How is this bead chain of mine in the hands of the city lord?" ”
Yu Qing smiled indifferently and said, "When you accidentally dropped it next to me when you saved the master, I picked it up, presumably this thing is very important to you." ”
"This thing is not very valuable, but it is only a relic of my mother, so it is more precious to me than my life, thank you Lord for returning this item to me." Jielan didn't expect this city lord to be so kind, and the indifferent demeanor before had completely changed, she didn't know why, but she felt that this city lord didn't seem to be as bad as she imagined, maybe Chengfeng's matter really took a turn for the better.
