He propped himself up and sat up, curling himself up into a ball, his painful moans occasionally leaking out into the dead silent night.
After enduring for a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and took out the dagger and lifted up his sleeve.
"Sizzle—"
The cold and sharp dagger pierced the skin, causing a stinging pain, suppressing the desire deep in the bone marrow. The fine itching and pain like ants gnawing were dispelled by the sharp pain.
Ru Liu, who was sleeping against the door, heard the noise here and suddenly opened her eyes.
Under the pale moonlight, Xiao Yunchen's white robe, which was already stained with blood, now spread with bright red blood.
The originally gentle and elegant face was now stained with an extremely abnormal blush, his expression was tense, and his narrow eyes were filled with a cold light.
One knife after another.
Ru Liu hurriedly stood up to stop him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master! You can't rely on this method to get through every time!"
With shaking hands, he pulled out a yellow paper bag from his bosom: "This is what the old lady gave me before she left. She said you can use it if you can't hold on any longer!"
Xiao Yunchen's dark eyes became increasingly gloomy, and he waved his hand to knock the paper bag to the ground.
The cold eyes stared like a willow, and the gentle young man, who was as gentle as jade, was now filled with a cold aura, like the ice that had not melted for thousands of years on the mountains.
After a moment, his low, cold voice rang out faintly: "Are you sure you delivered the letter I asked you to give to Pei Yanli?"
Ru Liu nodded solemnly: "It has definitely been delivered. Our people have come back to report after delivering it."
Xiao Yunchen gritted his teeth and loosened his fingers that were holding the dagger. The dagger fell to the ground with a crisp "ding" sound.
He scratched at the fresh puncture wound again.
As the pain came, his mind became clearer.
He continued to ask: "Have you noticed that Pei Yanli's men are looking for us?"
Ru Liu shook her head and said uncertainly, "Pei Yanli grew up in Dong'an City and previously worked at the Dong'an City government office, meaning he was once the prefect's subordinate. Could it be that he's pretending to be your ally, but is actually a spy sent by the Crown Prince?"
"No, he is of upright character and has a heart for the people. It must be that we were assassinated and disappeared along the way, causing him to lose his way."
Xiao Yunchen took a deep breath, opened and closed his fingers on his arm, and then tightened them again, and the pain came back.
He ordered in a deep voice: "Go find my eldest brother and tell him that I was ambushed on my way to the northwest. Ask him to come and rescue me quickly."
