Chapter 156 So it was you!
As dawn approaches, the defenses are at their weakest.
Wei Jingchen led Yun Zhao over the wall and followed the trail of blood toward the woodshed.
Inside the woodshed.
The man pulled off his mask; the pain from the injury on his leg was so intense that he almost fainted!
Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a "click" came from outside the door.
This instantly snapped him back to reality, and he quickly raised the dagger to block in front of him.
Unexpectedly, two children walked in through the door!
"Child?"
"Shh!"
Yun Zhao quickly put her index finger to her lips and warned him in a low voice.
"Don't be so loud! This is an official post station!"
The tall, thin man knew, of course, that this was an official post station, which was usually guarded by only a few officials, which was why he had hidden there.
How could two children appear in this place out of nowhere?
"Don't you know? A group of exiles were settled here today, and there are twenty or thirty officials here right now!"
Tall, thin man: ?!
"And don't you know you've spilled blood all over the place?"
Yun Zhao silently took out his needle case, and the tall, thin man felt dizzy from hearing it.
Why is he so unlucky today?
Immediately afterwards, he saw Yun Zhao open his needle case and take out a gold needle.
"what are you up to?"
He asked cautiously.
"I'll stop your bleeding! If you keep bleeding like this, you'll die if no one finds out!"
Before the tall, thin man could stop him, Yun Zhao inserted a needle into his needle.
"you……"
The tall, thin man tried to struggle a bit more, but to his surprise, after Yun Zhao used a few needles, he discovered...
My leg doesn't hurt anymore?!
"Let's go, we can't stay here!"
Although they erased the traces, no one can say for sure whether Yuan Shuchang, with so many dogs, will find them by following the scent.
Yun Zhao stuffed the medicine packet into his arms, trying to cover up the smell of blood with the scent of herbs.
Wei Jingchen kept his eyes fixed outside, and without turning his head, he said sternly, "Take off all your outer garments."
The tall, thin man understood their meaning perfectly well; he was simply amazed that such a young child knew so much.
"Uncle, what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
Yun Zhao felt that he was even more anxious than the other man.
The tall, thin man didn't have time to think and quickly took off his coat.
"Then what do I do?"
Wei Jingchen grabbed his coat and looked at Yun Zhao: "Take him back to my father's room. As for the others, be careful not to let anyone else find out!"
Today, as usual, the men and women were in separate rooms.
Wei Mingde shared a room with the three Xu brothers, so Yun Zhao naturally knew which room he was staying in.
"Okay, be careful!"
Yun Zhao immediately led the tall, thin man out of the woodshed.
With the help of the acupuncture needles, the man could not move freely, but at least he stopped bleeding.
While the officials were drinking on the first floor, the men went up to the second floor from the back.
Arriving outside Wei Mingde's room, Yun Zhao leaned over the door and gently knocked.
"Knock knock!"
Yun Zhao and Wei Jingchen were not in the post station. Apart from the children, everyone else was wide awake, waiting anxiously.
Therefore, Xu Yifei immediately heard the soft knocking.
"who?"
He asked in a low voice from inside the room.
"Uncle, it's Zhaozhao back! Quick, open the door!"
Upon hearing his niece's voice, Xu Yifei immediately opened the door.
Unexpectedly, the person following behind Zhao Zhao was a tall, thin man!
Who are you?
Everyone immediately became alert, and Xu Yifei even grabbed the other person by the neck!
"Shh! Uncle, let go! He's the one I saved!"
Yun Zhao quickly patted Xu Yifei's calf to remind him not to strangle the person to death!
Upon hearing this, Xu Yifei finally let go.
"Uncle Wei, Brother Jingchen took his clothes to be disposed of. He has injuries and could be easily tracked!"
Upon hearing Yun Zhao's words, Wei Mingde immediately understood.
"Young Master Xu, his build is about the same as yours. Could you please get him some clothes?"
Zhao Zhao, you treat his wounds now, and also...
Is there any other way to quickly mask the smell of blood in the room?
Wei Mingde quickly made arrangements, while Yun Zhao buried his head in the small pocket on his chest and began to rummage for something.
"Come on, let's burn some mugwort!"
Yun Zhao took out a herb bag from his pocket; it was a mugwort bag that he had prepared for everyone earlier.
Please carry it with you for epidemic prevention.
After leaving Yangguan County, they often carried the smell of mugwort on them.
Yun Zhao would burn mugwort every now and then, and Luo Qing and the others had long been used to it.
As dawn approaches, burning some mugwort after dawn is perfectly normal.
Yun Zhao put down the herb bag and then asked the tall, thin man to sit in the chair.
They also had someone put an oilcloth under the chair to prevent bloodstains from dripping onto the wooden floor and making them difficult to clean.
Wei Mingde had Xu Yifei stand guard by the door, and while Yun Zhao was treating the man's wounds, he also took a couple of glances.
The wound was a knife wound, but the location of the cut was rather strange.
"Why is your knife wound located so low?"
You can't exactly raise your leg to block a knife, can you?
Or is it that someone is lying on the ground and they can still be stabbed so viciously?
The tall, thin man didn't really want to answer, so he pretended to be in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
Yun Zhao glanced at him, blinking innocently, "Uncle, the golden needles are still here, you shouldn't be in so much pain~"
Tall, thin man: ...
Being exposed is a bit embarrassing...
Wei Mingde laughed and said, "We are trapped in the post station because of the difficulties caused by Prefect Yuan."
Since you've escaped to the inn, it's quite a coincidence. And since it was Zhaozhao who saved you...
You can't repay kindness with enmity, without even telling me who you are or how you got injured, can you?
Since Yun Zhao and Wei Jingchen specifically rescued this person, this person must be related to the Yuan family.
They didn't want to directly reveal that Yun Zhao had visited the Yuan residence, but they could use the name of Prefect Yuan to lure him in.
Sure enough, upon hearing Wei Mingde say the words "Prefect Yuan," the tall, thin man immediately looked up at him.
"Who are you? Why is Prefect Yuan making things difficult for you?"
"We are a group of convicted criminals exiled to An County to rescue people."
He offended Yuan Zhizhou's cousin, the magistrate of An County, and his son.
Now Prefect Yuan is using various excuses to detain us at this post station and prevent us from leaving.
The child in front of you is a disciple of Medicine King Valley. With her here, your injuries will be no problem.
But you must tell us who you are and who is hunting you? We saved you.
It's not about courting death; I need to know what happened so I can find a way to help you escape.
Upon hearing that he had offended the magistrate of An County, the tall, thin man immediately stood up excitedly.
"It's you! News came from An County that Yuan Shijie has been arrested and imprisoned by the Dali Temple. It's you, isn't it?"
Even Xu Yifei noticed something was wrong.
"A message has arrived?"
What is your relationship with Yuan Shijie?
Wei Mingde sized up the man.
He had met all the victims in An County, but none like this.
Moreover, this tall, thin man's appearance is only average, so how could he be a victim?
As expected, the man immediately cursed angrily in a low voice, "I have nothing to do with that kind of beast!"
