Chapter 115 He Can't Die
On the second day of the imperial examination, it was just getting dark and many people were leaving the city. A carriage blended into the crowd and left the city.
The two guards driving the car were the ones beside Ye Xuanhe. The middle-aged man was called Canglang and the young man was called Lu Feng. Like Lingfeng, both of their names contained the character "Feng". This was probably one of the reasons why the two of them disliked each other.
The carriage was targeted as soon as it left the city.
"Master, it's those black grasshoppers." Lu Feng gave the Black Armor Guards the nickname Black Grasshoppers.
Ye Xuanhe's lazy voice came from the carriage: "According to the plan."
"Gee!" Lu Feng shouted, and the carriage sped away.
After about a quarter of an hour, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, and someone was chasing us.
Lu Feng looked back and said with a grin, "Master, you've taken the bait."
The carriage stopped where it was as if waiting for the person behind to catch up, but even if it didn't stop, it couldn't outrun one man and one horse.
Immediately, a team of black-armored guards came quickly and surrounded the carriage, then made way in the middle. Qi Wuhan rode over on the Jueying horse.
"Why didn't the general tell me before he left?"
"Then can this general still leave?" As he spoke, Ye Xuanhe lifted the curtain of the carriage. Qi Wuhan caught a glimpse of another figure in the carriage. He lowered the curtain again, as if deliberately giving him a glimpse to let him know that there was a second person inside.
"Is this the person you are looking for?" Qi Wuhan felt that it was a woman.
Ye Xuanhe curled his lips slightly, "If you want to know who it is, it depends on whether you can stop me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the car curtain was rolled up by a gust of wind, and a figure rushed out quickly. In a flash, he started fighting with Qi Wuhan. At the same time, a sharp sound pierced the air. Lu Feng whistled with his lips lightly, and suddenly a circle of black shadows appeared around and rushed over.
"Let me meet you." Lu Feng jumped up from the carriage and started fighting with Ling Feng.
The wolf did not move, guarding the people in the carriage.
The sound of fighting outside was carried into the carriage. The person inside suddenly lifted the curtain, revealed his face and said something.
"Stop fighting."
The voice was not loud, with a hint of feminine softness, and was quickly drowned out by the sound of fighting. However, it penetrated the crowd like a flash of lightning and reached the ears of Qi Wuhan and Ye Xuanhe.
Both men stopped fighting, and the sounds of fighting died down temporarily.
When Qi Wuhan saw that face, a strange feeling flashed through his heart for a moment. It was this moment of distraction that allowed someone to take advantage of the opportunity and a flying needle pierced his neck.
He staggered, and the strong feeling of dizziness swallowed his consciousness like a bottomless black hole, and his body suddenly fell to the ground.
Seeing him fall to the ground, the young woman was slightly surprised and raised her hand to cover her mouth.
That face looked pretty and beautiful, except for a few frowns on her forehead that made her look a little more vicissitudes of life. She looked less than 30 years old, about ten years younger than her actual age. She was also a very beautiful woman when she was young.
Ling Feng was about to rush to Qi Wuhan when he was suddenly attacked by Canglang. He was hit in the chest with a palm and was pushed back more than a meter.
"Don't move." Ye Xuanhe had a knife in his hand, with the blade pointing at Qi Wuhan's neck.
“Don’t…” the young woman stopped him. Looking at Qi Wuhan’s face, a strange feeling flashed through her heart, as if she had seen him before, and she felt inexplicably distressed.
Neither Ling Feng nor the Black Armor Guards dared to act rashly.
At this moment, a dart suddenly shot out from the darkness, trying to take Qi Wuhan's life. With a clang sound, the dart hit the knife and was thrown away by Ye Xuanhe.
The young woman breathed a sigh of relief.
"General, what do you mean?" A man walked out from the shadows, wearing a green-faced, fang-toothed devil mask on his face, which shone coldly in the moonlight.
The eyes behind the mask were cold and cunning, with slightly sunken eye sockets and a few crow's feet. His voice sounded a bit hoarse, and he seemed to be in his fifties or sixties, but his violent nature had not diminished but increased.
This person is Baihu, one of the four elders of the Black Lotus Sect.
It was the other party who led people to attack Dongling Academy in Sangcheng before.
"This man is a great threat to you and me. If we don't get rid of him now, I'm afraid there will be no such good opportunity in the future."
Qi Wuhan and his Black Armored Guards are a deadly threat to both the Black Lotus Sect and the Northern Desert.
Elder Baihu raised his hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and his fingers flashed with sharp cold light. They were sharp claws made of fine steel, so sharp that he was about to kill Qi Wuhan with one claw, but was once again blocked by Ye Xuanhe's knife.
"He can't die."
Elder Baihu stared at Ye Xuanhe grimly, "General, are you going to make an enemy of the leader?" Ye Xuanhe walked over and said something to Elder Baihu. Elder Baihu's eyes turned cold and he left angrily.
"Master, why don't you take the person back now?" Lu Feng came over and said.
"It's not the time yet." Ye Xuanhe went over and bowed to the young woman, saying, "His Majesty is still waiting for you." The young woman glanced at Qi Wuhan lying on the ground again, then turned around and went back to the carriage.
"Take your Lordship away."
Canglang retreated behind Ye Xuanhe, Lingfeng immediately ran over to help Qi Wuhan up, and carried him away.
"Master, are you just going to let him go like this?" Lu Feng felt a little regretful, as if he had not gained anything good.
Ye Xuanhe slightly curled the corners of his lips and said four words in an intriguing manner, "There is a long way to go." After getting on the carriage, he gave an order, and Lu Feng drove the carriage and disappeared into the vast night ahead.
"Has the person left?" Qi Wuhan asked after opening his eyes.
"My Lord, are you okay?" Ling Feng asked in surprise.
"Go to the medicine house." Qi Wuhan gave an order, and then fell silent again.
When they arrived at the pharmacy, Qi Wuhan regained some consciousness. Ye Rushui took his pulse and gave him a few acupuncture needles. She said he would be fine after a night's sleep, and then took the flying needle for research.
Qi Wuhan asked Ling Feng to go back and tell Jiang Lan that there was an urgent matter at the military camp. Before he could finish his words, Ye Rushui, who was studying the flying needles, said, "Husbands and wives should be honest with each other."
"..." Qi Wuhan retorted, "What do you, an unmarried person, know?"
"If your wife asks about it in the future, I won't hide it for you." Ye Rushui said.
“.…..”
"I think it would be better for the Marquis not to hide it from the Madam." Ling Feng said.
"Maybe if you keep it a secret, your wife will run away with someone else." Ye Rushui said.
"I just don't want her to worry." Qi Wuhan just explained.
Ye Rushui said, "I think you are just being proud."
Ling Feng said, "Don't worry, my Lord. Madam won't laugh at you."
“….” Qi Wuhan turned over, “I’m too lazy to tell you.”
"Then I will go and ask Madam to come over."
Qi Wuhan didn't say anything, and Ling Feng left first.
"The poison on this needle is interesting. Just a small amount can paralyze a person." Ye Rushui was quite interested in this poison.
Qi Wuhan said, "Why don't you try stabbing yourself."
"That makes sense." Then Ye Rushui pricked the back of her hand, and a numb feeling immediately spread from the back of her hand. However, the residual poison on the needle was not enough to paralyze a whole person, but it was enough to paralyze an arm.
"If it were made into Ma Fei San, it should be able to disembowel the patient."
“.…..”
Qi Wuhan closed his eyes and pretended to doze off, and before he knew it, he really fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes, the bright moonlight shone into the room. He first saw Jiang Lan lying on the edge of the bed. He reached out and gently stroked the hair on her forehead, his expression full of tenderness.
Jiang Lan fluttered her eyelashes slightly, as if she was about to wake up. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw that he was awake. She reached out and touched his face, and asked softly, "Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, it's okay." Qi Wuhan moved in again to make room for her, gently pulled her into his arms and told her what happened outside the city. Jiang Lan thought silently for a moment and said, "Did the Black Lotus Sect defect to Beimo?"
Qi Wuhan said: "I'm afraid they have hooked up a long time ago."
"Then the person who was taken away was..." Jiang Lan was indeed a little curious about the other party's identity.
Qi Wuhan said, "I don't know yet." But he was sure that the other party's identity was definitely not simple. When he fell to the ground, he was actually still conscious and could hear people talking. He heard Ye Xuanhe say, "Your Majesty is still waiting for you."
Since the other party is the one that the Emperor of Beimo wants to take back, there must be a big secret hidden here.
"I want to tell you something too." Jiang Lan raised her head and looked at him. His frankness made her no longer have any reservations.
She told him the suspicion in her heart, that Ji Quan might be the man in black whom she met in Zhuyuan.
Qi Wuhan felt a bit complicated after hearing this. On the one hand, he was happy that she could open her heart to him, but on the other hand, he felt a little sad that his Xiaolan'er was really good at hiding things. He wondered if she had any other little secrets...
"Ah~" He sighed softly.
Jiang Lan felt that she had really hurt his feelings by keeping it a secret from him for so long, so she quickly explained, "I've never told anyone about this, and you're the first one to know."
Qi Wuhan thought of what she had said before. When she wanted to say something, he would be the first to tell him. He did not care about the gains and losses. He hugged her lovingly. Jiang Lan looked up and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?" He coaxed, "Then call me again."
"My Lord..."
"……,wrong."
"Husband..." Jiang Lan called out softly with a blushing face.
Qi Wuhan lowered his head and whispered two words in her ear. Jiang Lan's ears turned red with shyness, and she called his name softly.
“Wuhan…”
