Chapter 347: A husband and wife working together can break metal
Lu Jiangnian has indeed already started taking action.
He sprinkled the medicine in the bottle along the battle circle. Soon, a faint smell floated in the air, mixed with the lotus fragrance and not so obvious.
However, the leader soon realized that something was wrong.
Then, his eyes were as fast as lightning, and he accurately captured Lu Jiangnian who appeared in the corner like a ghost.
Lu Jiangnian had already done what he wanted to do, so he appeared in front of everyone openly: "You came to my place in the middle of the night and disturbed my sleep. How come the Second Prince doesn't know any etiquette?"
"Could it be that the aphrodisiac I sent last time was too effective, so he sent you to ask me for the medicine?"
All six assassins were frozen.
Before coming, the second prince had warned them not to reveal their identities, but Lu Jiangnian revealed their identities right away.
However, regardless of whether Lu Jiangnian knew the inside story or not, their purpose remained unchanged.
The leader's sword suddenly burst into sword flowers, and he attacked Lu Jiangnian with fierce momentum.
Lu Jiangnian calmly drew out his soft sword and responded calmly. It must be said that this person can be called his opponent.
It seems that the second prince has thrown out all his savings just to take his life.
The humiliation that day in the Third Prince’s mansion was indeed effective.
Lu Jiangnian's soft sword was unsheathed with a clang, and the sword tip drew a sharp arc. The masters fought against each other, and sparks flew.
However, he soon felt dizzy, and in a flash he realized that they had been tricked.
"Hold your breath!"
Before the warning was uttered, someone had already fallen to the ground. "Despicable!"
The leading man in black bit his tongue to stay awake and roared at Lu Jiangnian.
Lu Jiangnian stabbed him nonchalantly: "You are a thief who broke into someone else's house late at night, but you are so upright."
Seeing that another of his men had fallen, the leader did not dare to fight any longer. He could not kill Lu Jiangnian, but he wanted to go back alive and tell the second prince the news.
However, now that things have come to this, how could Lu Jiangnian let him go?
The man in black who was drugged was obviously no match for his opponent. Finally, he bit the poison hidden between his teeth and before he died, he threw flying knives at the others, trying to kill the unconscious men.
No one expected that he was so loyal and he actually succeeded.
Unfortunately, his ability was limited and he only killed two of them. He was powerless to do anything about the other three.
The sudden night wind blew away the stuffiness in the air and also picked up the bloody smell on the ground, swirling in the sky above the courtyard.
The lanterns in the corridor were blown to light and dark. Lu Jiangnian's eyes fell on the men in black. He said in a deep voice: "Xuanqing, bury them properly."
Xuan Qing cupped his hands and said, "I obey your command."
He paused, and lowered his voice a little, "During the fight just now, all of our brothers were injured to some extent, and the swords of those thieves were poisoned."
Lu Jiangnian frowned, the moonlight casting a sharp shadow on his brow: "Put everyone in the east wing."
As he said this, he turned around and strode towards the inner courtyard, "I'll go ask my wife to come over."
When Yuan Wanru heard this, she came over with the medicine box without saying a word.
Even though there were only six people, their lethality was quite strong. Except for Xuanying and Xuanqing, everyone else had some injuries.
Fortunately, they were also experienced and brave generals, who had a tacit understanding and cooperated perfectly. Those assassins were unable to cause fatal harm to them.
When Yuan Wanru came in, they had already started bandaging the wound. When everyone saw Yuan Wanru, they wanted to stand up and salute her, but she stopped them with a gesture.
"Don't move."
She walked up to a wounded man, squatted down and placed three fingers on his pulse. The man had not expected that the Crown Prince's wife would be so agile, and was so frightened that he dared not move, and his body remained stiff, like a puppet.
Yuan Wanru glanced at him and said, "Relax, or I won't be able to diagnose your pulse correctly."
Lu Jiangnian leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, a smile on his face: "If you don't cooperate and delay my wife's rest, then..."
Before he could finish his words, the wounded man immediately adjusted his breathing and relaxed his body.
Yuan Wanru turned around and glared at Lu Jiangnian, then concentrated on taking his pulse.
I saw her frowning eyebrows slowly relax: "Fortunately, everyone has taken the detoxification pills I gave them before, so the poison has not attacked their hearts for the time being."
"You should let the black blood out, then take Jade Dew Paste externally and decoction internally, and you will be fine in two days."
Xuan Qing touched the back of his head and smiled: "Thank you, Madam, the main reason is that Xuan Huang didn't come with us this time, so I have to trouble you."
Yuan Wanru said calmly: "It's nothing, this is the duty of a doctor."
-
Lu Jiangnian stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes solemnly sweeping over the three unconscious men on the ground.
The moonlight outlined his angular profile, and there was a hint of coldness between his brows: "Madam, do you have a way to make them tell the truth in front of the emperor?"
Yuan Wanru frowned slightly, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the embroidery on the purse around her waist.
She hesitated for a moment before she said softly, "You've also seen me use hallucinogens."
"That medicine may be effective for ordinary people, but these warriors," she shook her head, "have strong minds and may be difficult to shake."
Lu Jiangnian was not disappointed. "If that's the case, forget it. It's useless if you can't get the answer."
Suddenly, Yuan Wanru's eyes lit up: "But, there is another way."
Lu Jiangnian raised his eyebrows and looked at her, with the flickering flame reflected in his eyes.
Yuan Wanru turned around and told Shiying: "Go and get the red sandalwood box at the bottom of my dressing table."
After Shi Quartz left, Yuan Wanru looked at Lu Jiangnian carefully, and only after confirming that his brocade robe was intact did she breathe a sigh of relief with a barely perceptible degree of relief.
"Worried about me?"
Lu Jiangnian laughed softly and grabbed her hand that was hanging by her side.
The night dew wet her cuffs, but his palms were warm and dry.
Yuan Wanru lowered her eyes and saw the two people's clasped hands casting lingering shadows on the bluestone ground.
"If it weren't for the drug my wife developed,"
He gently stroked the beating pulse on her wrist with his thumb, "Tonight I'm afraid..."
Before he could finish his words, Yuan Wanru suddenly tiptoed closer, and the faint fragrance from her hair lingered around Lu Jiangnian's nose, diluting the bloody smell that permeated the courtyard.
She touched his lips with her fingertips, "If we say 'thank you' to each other, wouldn't it be alienating?"
Lu Jiangnian took her hand and kissed her: "I made a mistake."
The sound of brisk footsteps is particularly clear in the silent night.
Quartz returned hurriedly holding the wooden box. When the lid was opened, twelve neatly arranged porcelain bottles were revealed.
Lu Jiangnian looked over and realized that these were the gifts Hua Lingxiao gave to Yuan Wanru when they left Southern Xinjiang.
"Is there anything you can use among the things your mother-in-law gave you?"
She nodded, "My mother gave me some Gu, which also has a hallucinogenic effect. With the two drugs, maybe I can completely disrupt their minds without making them look dull."
"However, I cannot guarantee the effect."
Lu Jiangnian suddenly laughed softly: "It doesn't matter, it's better than nothing."
"My wife's methods are becoming more and more sophisticated. I am really worried that I can't handle it."
Yuan Wanru deliberately frowned: "Why, are you scared?"
"I wish you would use all your methods on me."
Quartz on the side rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Master, my hearing is not that bad."
