Chapter 96: The Little Handmaiden Wakes Up
There were still a few hundred steps away from Nanshan Manor, and Chen Chao, who hurried back from the camp, saw a group of Ning family members holding sticks and entered the manor one step ahead of him.
Since taking the dragon's blood pill and stabilizing Ning Baizhi's condition, this little girl has been in a coma with a high fever and has never woken up, and was arranged by Chen Chao to recuperate in Nanshan Manor.
Her sister-in-law Yu Xiulan usually takes care of her, and Han Lao also stays in the manor and comes over every day to check the pulse.
The house was full of people, and the water around it could not be drained.
After a while, Yu Xiulan's angry voice came from the house, and the woman waved her sleeves to drive away unrelated people.
They were kicked out of the house, and instead of leaving in a hurry, they leaned on the window and stuck their heads in, smiling one by one.
"Wake up, wake up......"
"Finally woke up, thank goodness ......"
Hearing this, Chen Chao in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone that had been hanging in his chest for several days finally fell to the ground.
It's good to wake up.
When you wake up, it's fine.
Seeing that there are many people in the courtyard, it is his turn to go into the house to visit Ning Baizhi, and he has to wait for a while, Chen Chao patted his sleeves and prepared to go to the side courtyard to clean up, it is best to take a shower and change into clean clothes.
The clothes were all wet with sweat, and now the weather was hot, and the smell hurt people's eyes.
"Zai, Prime Minister, little sister called you."
Chen Chao had just turned around and was about to leave, when Ning Baiying, who was in the house, came out and stood at the door and called Chen Chao to stop.
"Call me?"
Chen Chao turned his head and stretched out his finger to point at himself.
Ning Baiying's expression was calm and nodded.
Licking his lips and swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Chen Chao followed Ning Baiying into the house under the gaze of the people in the courtyard.
In the room, there was a smell of Chinese medicine.
With her back facing up, lying on the bed, the pale girl opened her eyelids with difficulty, looked at Chen Chao who came in, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Before Chen Chao could speak, the girl's voice said weakly:
"Xiang, Xiangye...... Thank you, thank you. ”
Just saying these few words, a layer of cold sweat appeared on the girl's forehead, and her white-skinned lips were chapped and bleeding.
Although she has been unconscious with a high fever for the past few days, Ning Baizhi's brain is conscious and knows what is happening outside.
She knew that Chen Chao had done what he had promised and given the Ning family a new lease of life.
"Thanks for what? It's you, hurry up and get better for Benxiang, Benxiang is the only little maid by his side, and this seat has always been reserved for you. Chen Chao stepped forward, squatted on the side of the bed, and gently touched Ning Baizhi's forehead with his fingers, his eyes full of pity.
The two were master and servant, and an invisible rope had long connected the two and tied them tightly together.
Hearing this, Ning Baizhi's small hand tightly grasped Chen Chao's fingers, and under the silent gaze of her brother and sister-in-law, she looked at the middle-aged man in front of her without blinking, and responded, "Okay, definitely." ”
When he went out, Chen Chao called Han Lao and asked Ning Baizhi about her condition, Ning Baiying hugged her chest and stood on one side and listened quietly.
"Xiangye, since Miss Ning has woken up, it means that her body is fine, and she only needs to recuperate in the future."
After listening to this, Ning Baiying and Chen Chao were completely relieved.
When she came, Ning Baizhi's appearance of spinning around the ghost gate is still vivid.
Although Ning Baiying treated her injuries a few times halfway through and temporarily stopped the bleeding, Ning Baiying, who was the eldest brother, knew that the little sister was dying this time, and he was almost ready to lose his sister.
Lucky.
Fortunately, the prime minister in front of him entered Beijing overnight, brought back the dragon blood pill, and forcibly extended the life of the little sister.
"Dare to ask Han Lao, what did my little sister get hurt? Why is the injury so bad, that the skin and flesh on the back are almost burned? Ning Baiying couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart, and asked half a step forward.
Han Lao didn't answer immediately, but reached out to stroke the short beard under his chin, looked at Chen Chao beside him, and asked for advice.
This is a big secret about Xiangye.
Rao is him, and he can't reveal too much.
Chen Chao nodded, and Han Lao said:
"What seriously injured Miss Ning was gunpowder."
"Gunpowder? What? Ning Baiying's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"A very powerful, very powerful ......" Han Lao couldn't explain it in a word, but Chen Chao spoke and asked: "That day in Ningjiawan, did Ning Baizhi set fire to something shaped like a long-handled wooden block, and Ning Baizhi didn't have time to evacuate at that time?" Is it facing away from the point of detonation? ”
Ning Baiying nodded, "Yes." ”
"That's right...... Ning Baizhi returned to Yunzhou this time, and before leaving, Benxiang gave her a life-saving thing, which was filled with gunpowder, once ignited, the explosion was huge, and the people around her would be affected. ”
"What the hell is gunpowder?" Ning Baiying was curious, and her eyes were bright.
He had never seen anything so powerful, and he wanted to figure it out for a while, so he couldn't help but ask more.
"This thing involves some secrets, and I can't tell you what it is!"
Hearing this, Ning Baiying was a little disappointed, but she still arched her hand, thank Chen Chao for informing her.
The wind blows, adding a touch of coolness to the hot noon.
Chen Chao pursed his lips, looked at Ning Baiying, who was frowning and still thinking about gunpowder, hesitated, and finally couldn't help but speak:
"Listen to Bai Zhi, Brother Ning has been researching hidden weapons in the past few years?"
This is what Ning Baizhi once said personally, an outsider in the Chen Dynasty knows the shortcomings of the Ning family, how can Ning Baiying not know?
The Ning family is outstanding, but its combat effectiveness is not strong.
In order to enhance her combat power, Ning Baiying has been researching hidden weapons all these years.
"That's right."
Ning Baiying responded.
But I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, why did my little sister even tell him about this?
During the time that the little sister was in the capital, how far did she and the Chen Dynasty develop?
Between the two, is it still a simple master-servant relationship?
Without giving him a chance to think about it, Chen Chao continued: "Benxiang has a subordinate, a native of Qin, his name is Hou Ji, and he usually likes to get some gadgets out, such as a sleeve arrow or something, the power is comparable to an ordinary longbow, if the Ning brothers don't dislike it, you can talk to him." ”
Afraid that Ning Baiying would think too much, Chen Chao then said, "Brother Ning, don't misunderstand, this appearance has no other meaning, it's just that if Hou Ji can help the Ning family go to the next level, presumably Bai Zhi will be very happy." ”
Ning Baiying stood quietly and listened silently.
did not express his own opinion.
He knew that the man in front of him was a terrible enemy.
In other words, others may have threatened with force a long time ago, threatening their Ning family to work for him.
But Chen Chao didn't, he seemed to want to use his sincerity to impress himself step by step, impress the Ning family, and take the initiative to serve him.
After a while, Ning Baiying spoke, "Hidden weapon, how much does Hou know about guitar?" ”
"Slightly, a little bit better." Chen Chao stammered for a while, he really didn't expect Ning Baiying to ask this question.
At the same time, a glimmer of hope flashed in his heart to subdue the Ning family.
"Hou Ji, come here." Chen Chao turned his head and shouted outside the courtyard, Hou Ji came with him, and now he didn't see a figure, so he guessed where he was hiding and.
Leaning less, Ning Baiying saw a lean man, lifting his pants and climbing over the wall.
"This is Hou Ji, if you have something to say, say it yourself."
After Chen Chao finished speaking, he left the courtyard.
Before leaving, I gently patted Hou Ji on the shoulder as he passed by.
Hou Ji had just finished, and he was a little inexplicable.
"You, know the secret weapon?" Ning Baiying asked.
"Me? Of course I do, I know a lot. Hou Ji responded.
"Can that brother tailor a batch for my Ning family? The price is negotiable. ”
When Hou Ji heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and understood why Xiangye patted him on the shoulder before leaving just now.
Looking at Ning Baiying, Hou Ji opened his mouth widely, and his eyes revealed a thief's light.
"Okay, I'll do it if I have business, but I said it in advance, the price of the hidden weapon I made is not cheap......"
