Chapter 382: Turning Decay into Magic
Su Xueyi's figure became even more ethereal and mysterious in the night, and every time he made a move, the men in black were terrified.
Those killers in black originally had fierce killing moves and fierce attacks.
But when he faced Su Xueyi, he was instinctively afraid and wanted to retreat.
It also helped to reduce the burden on the Jinyiwei.
And with Su Xueyi's help, none of the Jinyiwei lost their lives.
Lu Yechen was also quite shocked. He had heard rumors about Su Xueyi when he was young, but he didn't quite believe it at the time.
But now that he had truly witnessed Su Xueyi's kung fu, he realized how powerful this person was.
Perhaps this was just a glimpse of what he saw.
No one knows his true strength.
Shen Yueyao watched from a distance and thought that she wouldn't need to take action.
The black-clad assassins saw this and the leader shouted, "Kill them immediately! Don't retreat..."
As soon as the leading man in black spoke, the black-clad killers no longer hesitated and rushed forward to kill madly.
Shen Yueyao frowned when she saw that Su Xueyi was also entangled by several men in black.
These people are obviously well-trained killers or death squads.
He used a killing move like a madman who was not afraid of his own life.
A dangerous cold light flashed across Shen Yueyao's eyes. She used her spiritual energy to control a stone and threw it directly at the man in black who had just taken the lead in speaking.
"ah!"
The leading man in black was about to break through the protection circle of the Jinyiwei and kill Lu Yechen.
But at this moment, he felt as if the wrist holding the sword was suddenly hit by something, his wrist felt numb with pain, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.
At this moment, the sword in Lu Yechen's hand pierced the black-clothed leader at an extremely fast speed, and stabbed him several times, causing him to spit out blood. He had no strength to resist and was quickly pinned down by the Jinyiwei.
When masters fight, even the slightest mistake can be fatal.
None of the places Lu Yechen stabbed were fatal because he wanted to keep the victim alive.
As soon as the leader in black saw that he was captured, he wanted to commit suicide.
Lu Yechen quickly pinched his chin, removed his jaw, and took out a pill of poison from it.
Prevent this person from committing suicide.
Moreover, since his jaw was removed, this person would not be able to bite his tongue to commit suicide.
Seeing their leaders being caught, the assassins in black tried frantically to save them, but several of them were killed.
Seeing that they were no match for their opponent, the people behind thought of quickly jumping into the water and escaping.
Shen Yueyao threw the stones in her hand out like countless darts, knocking the men in black directly onto the deck, preventing them from escaping.
Shen Yueyao did this secretly and no one knew about it.
No one saw how she did it.
But Su Xueyi knew that it was Shen Yueyao who did it.
Shen Yueyao didn't want these people to report anything after returning and bring danger to Su Xueyi and her.
Since these people have come, they will never come back.
Shen Yueyao is very decisive when it comes to taking decisive action.
She controlled the force so strongly that the black-clad killer's wrist was broken and he could no longer hold the sword.
Many men in black committed suicide after seeing those being captured, but a few were left alive, which was enough for Lu Yechen.
Lu Yechen came over and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Brother Su, for your help."
During the few days on the boat, Lu Yechen had a great time chatting with Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao, and their relationship became closer. Shen Yueyao even said that there was no need to call her Madam Su, so Lu Yechen dropped the honorific and called her Madam Su instead, calling her brother's sister-in-law.
Su Xueyi said elegantly, "It's okay, it's just a matter of convenience. Are these people coming for you?"
Lu Yechen concentrated and explained, "Well, last year, there was a flood in the Hezhou area. The court issued disaster relief funds, but none of them reached the people. The emperor's previous funds for building dams and river channels were also embezzled, so he secretly ordered me to investigate. I obtained account books and letters that showed collusion between local officials and the court. So they wanted to kill people to silence them and get this evidence."
Lu Yechen simply said it, and Shen Yueyao and the others understood.
"It seems that the local officials are so bold because they have someone in the court to protect them."
"Some people must be afraid of being implicated, so they took the risk of attacking you. They even thought that by killing you and destroying the letters and evidence of corruption, they could protect themselves."
"They can't be scared, they are quite brave."
"Hasn't it ever occurred to you that failing to kill you might lead to more of their men being recruited?"
Lu Yechen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't expect there would be so many assassins this time, and they were so powerful. If it weren't for you, Brother Su and your sister-in-law, on the boat, they might have achieved their goal this time."
"More than half of the assassins this time are dead men, and some are martial arts masters. They are stronger than the assassins who came before. I didn't expect that they would dare to do this when we are about to enter the capital."
The Jinyiwei are all on the edge of a knife, and Lu Yechen is used to it.
Su Xueyi said, "The laws of the Great Yan Dynasty prohibit officials from keeping assassins."
Lu Yechen said: "I have never seen a death squad before. This time they are anxious and sent out a death squad."
However, what shocked Lu Yechen even more was that Brother Su's skills were so amazing.
What he didn't know was that because Shen Yueyao often gave Su Xueyi spiritual spring water to drink and food from the space to eat, it was not only good for his body, but also could enhance his internal strength with spiritual power.
What's more, even though Su Xueyi studied every day, he would get up early every morning to practice sword skills, and he never gave up his martial arts.
Of course, Lu Yechen didn't expect that Shen Yueyao could analyze the situation in the court with just a few words.
And all the words hit the nail on the head.
Such a woman is really smart.
He could imagine that with Su Xueyi having such a virtuous wife, no one in the officialdom could rival her.
Besides, he has the emperor's attention and is promoted to a high position, so it is only a matter of time.
At this moment, a Jinyiwei came over and said, "Sir, Xiaojiu and the others are seriously injured and the bleeding cannot be stopped at all."
Although they were prepared to sacrifice themselves when they came out to do the work, it was too painful to watch their brothers get hurt and be powerless to help.
They are not invincible and iron-blooded people, and it is impossible for them to watch their brothers die like this.
Lu Yechen's expression changed and he asked, "Are the medicines I brought before useless?"
The man whispered, "It doesn't work. It won't stop the bleeding at all."
Lu Yechen said: "In that case, we must stop the boat and take people to find a doctor."
Even though he knew that it was extremely dangerous to find a dock to moor the boat and go ashore at this time, he could not bear to watch his brother who had been through thick and thin with him die from injuries and bleeding.
He would give it a try even if there was a slight chance.
Shen Yueyao said: "Take me over to have a look, I have a medicine box here."
As soon as Shen Yueyao spoke, Lu Yechen suddenly reacted. He slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot, my sister-in-law's medical skills are much better than the doctor's."
He had seen countless doctors for his hand before, but none of them worked. However, Shen Yueyao cured his hand easily.
He almost forgot that Shen Yueyao knew medical skills, and was too anxious to think.
"Sister-in-law, this is hard work."
Shen Yueyao waved her hand and said, "It's okay."
Shen Yueyao went to the carriage and took out the medicine box, actually it was a medicine box taken out from the space, and she took out some medicine from the pharmacy.
There were antibiotics, hemostatic drugs that she had made herself, surgical tools, needles and absorbable sutures for suturing wounds, anesthetics, and bandages and disinfectants.
Shen Yueyao went over to treat the wound of the injured Jinyiwei with quick and skillful movements.
There was a person who was seriously injured and was only breathing for a few seconds, and everyone was very worried.
He was still sweating from the pain on his forehead, but everyone realized that they didn't know what medicine Mrs. Su had used, as they had never seen it before.
But after using this medicine, Thirteen no longer trembled in pain, and the cold sweat on his face stopped.
His wound was then quickly cleaned and sutured.
Everyone looked at it with expressions of horror.
This...can the wound be sewn like sewing clothes?
This is simply unbelievable.
But no matter how shocked he was, after the stitches were done, Thirteen's body really stopped bleeding, and the few shocking wounds didn't look so scary anymore.
After she finished dealing with it, everyone could clearly feel that Thirteen's breathing had become much steadier.
Shen Yueyao also gave the seriously injured Jinyiwei some spiritual spring water and a pill.
Shen Yueyao remained calm and composed from beginning to end.
"Okay, his life is not in danger. He'll be much better the next day after a good night's sleep."
Shen Yueyao thought this injury was nothing and could be healed with some treatment.
Afterwards, Jinyiwei Xiaojiu and several other people were injured, and Shen Yueyao also used the same method to treat their wounds.
Xiaojiu was still able to speak, and he said in shock: "The wound doesn't hurt anymore."
Just now he was gritting his teeth to endure the pain, but now he looked at Mrs. Su sewing up her wound with a needle and some unknown thread, and he didn't feel any pain at all.
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "It's an anesthetic, so you won't feel any pain. However, you will feel pain after the anesthetic wears off, but it's nothing serious, and the wound won't get infected. It will heal quickly."
The Jinyiwei next to him looked at it and said, "The bleeding has really stopped."
Everyone used to admire the delicious food that Mrs. Su cooked, but now they know that Mrs. Su is not only a good cook, but also has great medical skills.
As Jinyiwei, they often go out on missions, and injuries are common.
They also went to various medical clinics. Some doctors' medical skills were legendary, but no one's medical skills could catch up with Mrs. Su in front of them.
This medical skill really shocked them. They felt like they were dreaming and hallucinations appeared before their eyes.
Is there really someone in this world with such strong medical skills?
As expected, what Lord Lu said is right: there are always people better than you.
After Shen Yueyao had dealt with everyone, she asked everyone to carry the injured Jinyiwei to rest.
Shen Yueyao went back to the house with Su Xueyi.
Su Xueyi said, "Lu Yechen went to interrogate those people overnight."
Shen Yueyao said: "Since you are a dead man, can you speak?"
Su Xueyi said, "Don't underestimate the methods of the Jinyiwei. In the past, in the capital, once someone was sent to the imperial prison, very few people could come out, and very few people could resist and say nothing."
Su Xueyi's expression was slightly solemn.
Su Xueyi said, "Don't worry. The Jinyiwei today are quite different from the Jinyiwei before the Great Yan Dynasty. Although they roam in the dark and are like the emperor's sword, the current emperor does not like his men to abuse their power and harm innocent people. Whenever the Jinyiwei arrests or interrogates someone, they must have certain evidence. Without evidence, they will not act arbitrarily."
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "I understand. I just feel that the current court is a little unstable. We are about to enter the capital. Everyone knows that the Jinyiwei are the emperor's men and are doing things according to his orders. To think that someone would openly assassinate him shows that they don't take the emperor or the Jinyiwei seriously. It can be seen that they are acting without scruples and are very rampant."
Shen Yueyao had never been to the capital, so naturally she didn't know what it was like.
Su Xueyi looked deeply at Shen Yueyao and said, "Yao Niang, maybe after entering the capital, you won't be able to do as you please like you did in the village, but I don't want you to worry too much. You just need to do what you want to do. I will take care of the things outside."
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "I heard that there are many banquets in the capital. If someone invites me, can I refuse?"
Shen Yueyao knew that the Su family had some relatives in the capital.
However, after they were exiled, these people never cared about Su Xueyi and the others, so such relatives were no longer relatives.
But Shen Yueyao understood that once they entered the capital, there would be struggles for interests.
She had understood it a long time ago.
Su Xueyi said gently: "Of course, no one can force you to do something you don't want to do."
Su Xueyi only wanted to make Shen Yueyao happy.
He was afraid that his mother Yao Niang would be frightened by this assassination attempt before they even reached the capital.
Anyway, he won't let go, and his Yao Niang can only stay by his side.
Otherwise he didn't know if he would go crazy.
An assassination had just occurred on the boat. When he took action, he instinctively thought that no one could harm Yao Niang in the slightest, not even a hair.
As for the rest, he seemed to have forgotten as well.
He seemed to have forgotten that his Yao Niang was skilled in martial arts and those people were no match for her.
But even so, Su Xueyi would not take the risk of letting those people go against his Yao Niang.
When he can protect, there is naturally no need for Yao Niang to do anything.
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"I feel that my martial arts power has increased a lot now, so you don't have to worry about anything."
The two talked about some things in the capital, and then fell asleep again.
The next day, it was already noon when Shen Yueyao woke up.
When she finished washing up and came out of the room onto the deck, everyone greeted her respectfully, "Mrs. Su!"
Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment, realizing that everyone's attitude towards her had changed greatly.
During lunch, Lu Yechen arrived and exclaimed in amazement, "Sister-in-law, your bandaging method and the medicine you used are simply amazing. Thirteen's injuries were so severe that he would have died in the past, but this time he really made it through and can even walk. His wounds are almost healed and haven't split open yet."
"Sister-in-law, your bandaging skills are amazing. I wonder if we can buy some medicine from you. It's common for us to be assassinated and injured during missions. I can't do anything for my brothers, but I just think that if we have these medicines, we can save their lives at a critical moment."
In fact, Lu Yechen was quite embarrassed to ask Shen Yueyao for medicine, but this medicine could really save lives, it was so magical that he had no choice but to ask for it shamelessly.
Su Xueyi knew that Lu Yechen was working for the emperor and had the same stance as Su Xueyi.
What he did in secret could help the emperor a lot, and besides, they had a good relationship, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.
"The medicine is a bit complicated to prepare, and no one else can make it. If I prepare these medicines by myself, I may not be able to make many, unless..."
Shen Yueyao said: “Unless I open a pharmacy, hire a group of people to train some basic pharmacological knowledge, and teach everyone how to make it, I might make more.”
"If that's all, there won't be too many preparations. Many things can't be achieved overnight; they are all gradual."
"The stitches I'm using now aren't ordinary stitches. They don't need to be removed; they're automatically absorbed by the skin. There aren't many of these stitches. If someone else is bandaging me, they can use ordinary stitches, but they'll have to be removed after the wound heals..."
"There's also a kind of string called catgut..."
Shen Yueyao explained briefly.
Lu Yechen only understood half of what he heard. He really knew nothing about medicine.
"Sister-in-law, if you need any help with preparing these medicines, please let me know."
Shen Yueyao said, "Wait until I open the pharmacy and then tell me what help you need."
In fact, Shen Yueyao had an idea, which was to open a medical school to teach everyone medical skills so that everyone would know some basic pharmacology and could also learn some surgical operations.
Although there were few instruments in this era, it was easy to learn the basics of bandaging and treating wounds.
This kind of medical skill is different from traditional Chinese medicine. To learn traditional Chinese medicine skills such as taking the pulse, it requires long-term accumulation, but surgery does not require such medical talent and long-term accumulation.
The next step is to prepare the medicine. You can set up a pharmacy with an assembly line, and everyone can just make it according to the assembly line.
But all of this requires training.
This is just Shen Yueyao's initial idea. To truly implement it, many details need to be implemented.
However, Shen Yueyao still gave Lu Yechen some hemostatic drugs.
The hemostatic medicine she prepared was of good quality, and the wounds were more likely to stop bleeding and heal.
Lu Yechen was so grateful that he didn't know what to say.
He thought he would tell the emperor about it when he returned.
The emperor said privately that he would remember what Shen Yueyao had done for the people, and would reward her when due.
Just as they were about to enter the capital, they encountered another assassination attempt.
This time, the killers never came back.
Through interrogation, Lu Yechen only knew that this group of killers were the assassins of a killer organization called the Killer Clan that emerged in the martial arts world in recent years.
Su Xueyi's eyes darkened, and she tapped the table lightly with her fingers. "The Emperor is most averse to the court colluding with the underworld. It's a big taboo for officials in the court to collude with underworld assassins to kill court officials. The Emperor should consider rectifying the underworld forces."
Lu Yechen said: "But the emperor is too busy right now and has many things to deal with. He can only deal with the most important things for the time being."
"There are many refugees in Hezhou due to last year's floods. Local officials failed to manage the situation properly, and many people died of starvation and freezing over the winter. The news is blocked."
Shen Yueyao understood that the emperor must urgently need someone trustworthy to handle these matters.
Shen Yueyao analyzed the situation, looking thoughtful.
