Chapter 56: One is working harder than the other

A roar came, "Is it you?"

It was as if a wild beast grabbed the drug tester and threw him to the ground with all its might, "It's not me..."

"Who?! Who is shooting arrows in the dark?!" accompanied by the drug tester's cry of pain.

The lava man looked in the opposite direction of the arrow and suddenly looked up, "It's you!"

Obviously, he turned around to recapture the hostage, but he noticed a dark figure next to the woman?!

Xie Sang moved quickly and carried the injured man on his shoulders. "Sir, bear with it for a moment. I will take you away immediately."

Looking from above, Xiesang nimbly rushed into the door and the lava man was unable to catch up.

In just two or three seconds, only the medicine-testing guard and this man were left.

Tu Xingze was looking for the arrow, but the man was too dark and he couldn't find it for a while. Or had it fallen off?

He remembered the man's ridicule and said, "Your Majesty, he can still walk!"

The Sultan picked up the arrows again, this time three, and fired them at an extremely fast speed, whistling through the air!

This time the aim was a little off, but I could see clearly the back, thighs, and the ground next to them.

The lava man yelled curses, his rough voice echoing throughout the place, and fled towards the door.

At this moment, a figure walked out of the door and kicked the lava man out.

I thought it was Xiesang who had taken care of the wounded, but the man's skin color didn't seem that dark and he was a lot taller.

Tu Xing narrowed his eyes and observed carefully. Was it Talal? Or Evander?

He was wearing the clothes of a guard, so it was certain that he must be someone who wanted to get to the top.

However, if an ordinary person dares to step forward for close combat, he is at least very brave.

He raised the knife high, stabbed it straight into the lava man's face, adjusted his posture, knelt on the ground, and inserted it fiercely!

The knife was halfway in, obviously piercing the head at either the eye or the mouth!

The people above just watched him and hacked away madly for three or four minutes.

Until the lava man lay limply and powerlessly, instantly turned into white powder and dissipated with the wind.

The farce ended just like that. I thought I could at least run away for a distance and search the whole city for a few days.

Tu Xing shook his head and laughed, and was about to speak when he saw something change below him out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but observe carefully again.

This position... is the guard testing drugs? His clothes are melting rapidly.

Gradually, his skin became discolored. How did he turn into a black and gold lava man?

Tu Xing narrowed his eyes suddenly. Could it actually be a potion made from Sudanese blood? Wasn't it said to be a one-time use?

Or should I take many pills at once? If it consumes too much blood, the Sultan will be angry and will not make any more medicine.

A low voice next to my ear said, "What a hassle."

The Sultan had already rearmed his three arrows, and he was so conceited that he took aim in just a second and let go in an instant.

The breeze blew Tu Xing's hair, and the arrows shot into the black gold lava man, half of them were embedded deep.

This person had already fallen to the ground and couldn't stand up. He was like a fixed target, nailed firmly to the ground.

The knife-wielding guard, who seemed to be frightened by the sudden change, saw this and quickly raised his knife, chopping and slashing frantically.

When the familiar dust rose, the Sultan said, "Go down, it's over."

He turned around and ordered, "Clean up the mess and clear it up. Waji's interrogation will be suspended. He will remain in custody."

Suddenly, a voice pleaded for mercy. "Your Majesty, I have contributed both labor and money. You said that if I could collect a hundred gold coins, my sentence would be reduced. Why do you still want to imprison me?"

"If I had only asked someone to come here, my sincerity and loyalty would have been revealed. What should I do now?"

The Sultan spoke again, his voice slightly amused, "At least until Celilda recovers."

Waji said seriously: "I will take care of her myself."

The order has been given: "Come here, take him away!" Obviously, there is no way to influence the Sultan's thoughts.

Immediately, the sound of dragging was heard, accompanied by Waji's struggling and begging for mercy as he gradually moved away.

Tu Xing looked at this person's figure and felt inexplicably better. As expected, happiness is built on the suffering of others, especially those who do many evil things.

The young man stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, I wish to see Celilda. After all, I am considered her half-apprentice."

The Sultan turned sideways, as if he was very surprised. "Aren't you afraid?"

Hearing this, Tu Xing was stunned. "I am your guard. If I am afraid, how can I serve you?"

"Oh—" a deep laugh came, as if very satisfied. "I was going to her place anyway, let's go together."

After about three minutes, Celilda was in a private room, with guards and soldiers standing outside the door.

Due to the small space in the room, only a few important people were left.

The doctor was examining the injuries of the woman on the bed, gasping and sighing, "How did it get like this?"

He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry I can't do anything!"

Tu Xing lowered his eyes. They had met once before, but it was in a flashback, the old man with white beard.

I think he is near this mansion, and it will be easy for him to come back as long as I ask a doctor.

The Sultan sat down in his seat. "Do your best. Once she recovers, everything will heal on its own. You are treating Celilda, the black magician who sits behind me."

The old man with white beard suddenly raised his head and said repeatedly: "Yes, I will definitely do my best."

After saying that, he took out the medicine box and said to Xie Sang who was standing beside him, "Can you bring me three buckets of clean water?"

The old man with white beard looked down and saw the man covered in blood. His lips trembled:

"You are also injured? Then who can help..."

In addition to Tu Xing and Sudan, another person was also covered in blood and wounds.

Tu Xing glanced around and continued, "I'll go call someone, wait a moment." After he finished speaking, he went out, looked for Zhai Ka and Ye Qide, and relayed his instructions.

Afterwards, the young man returned to his original place and glanced around the drawer. There was medicine in it that could make people recover instantly.

But now Celilda couldn't even open her eyes, so naturally she couldn't propose this step.

In the current timeline, Tu Xing shouldn't know these things, so he can only wait and see.

After the water was delivered, the three wounded were washed one by one. Mats were laid on the ground for the other two to sit down and rest.

Tu Xing stared at the man who was chasing the lava man with an unclear look in his eyes.

I didn't expect it to be Evander. He looked very familiar. He was secretly hostile to me and I was deeply impressed.

He is suspected of being an accomplice of Waji and failing to report the crime.

I still remember the Sultan’s final order: if no one could be found today, the two most senior people would be fed to the dogs.

As a result, the two men worked harder than each other. Lukman fought in the room, and Evander chopped two people in front of the door.

In view of this, he will definitely be given a lenient sentence.

The mess that Celilda caused actually saved all the bodyguards.

As expected, the Sultan expressed some appreciation: "Your courage is commendable."

"If someone fails to report something they know about, we'll postpone the investigation for two days. Serious offenders will be fined one year's wages, and minor offenders will be fined six months. There will be no recurrence."

Evander's eyes lit up, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Beside the bed, the doctor handed the medicine to the maid Xue Rui, "Apply a thin layer of this."
