"Second Uncle." Seeing that her second uncle was covered in injuries, Qiu Yan looked worried and quickly ran to him, checking him over from head to toe.
My second uncle had multiple wounds on his body.
Jiang Liu and Zheng Hong also arrived.
Jiang Liu stared intently at the knife wound on Qiu Dafu's chest, her breathing becoming heavy, and her heart filled with unease.
Zheng Hong frowned and clenched his fists.
"Second Uncle, who hurt you?" Qiu Yan asked, her face filled with rage.
She will not let anyone who dares to hurt her second uncle off lightly.
Qiu Yan immediately checked her second uncle's injuries. He had lost too much blood, but fortunately it was just an external injury, though it looked frightening.
Because he had just been to the clinic and his wound had been bandaged in time, he was fine.
After Qiu Yan finished speaking, Jiang Liu and Zheng Hong stared intently at Qiu Dafu. Although they had some guesses, they still wanted to know the reason.
The other three members of the Jiang family also came out of the house when they saw that Qiu Dafu was injured.
Qiu Dafu is quite skilled in martial arts, yet he still suffered such serious injuries. It seems he should stay home more often in the future.
Qiu Dafu moved his stiff face and smiled faintly.
"The person has been captured by General Gu. Xiaoyan, Liu'er, don't worry, I'm fine." Qiu Dafu had just confirmed Chu Tianqi's identity with Gu Qian.
Seeing Qiu Yan, he had mixed feelings.
There were worries, relief, and joy.
"He saved you." Qiu Yan sighed. Gu Qian had only gone out for a short while, yet he happened to save her second uncle. It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Qiu Dafu nodded, took out a packet of herbs from his pocket, and handed it to Jiang Liu.
"Liu'er, the herbs are divided into two portions, one for internal use and one for external use."
For external use, grind equal parts of Sanguisorba officinalis and Phellodendron chinense into a fine powder. Mix with cooled boiled water to form a soft paste, then apply to the affected area.
Jiang Liu nodded and turned to go to the kitchen.
Yun and Jiang's mother followed closely behind, helping to make the medicine.
To allow her second uncle to rest well, Qiu Yan didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, Gu Qian returned.
Qiu Yan asked him about what had just happened to her second uncle, and after learning the truth, she felt a little scared.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Hong was filled with shock and disbelief.
Gu Qian didn't linger and went out again.
In one afternoon, he discovered that the Northern Qi soldiers hiding in the shadows in Huaiyuan City had all disguised themselves as ordinary people, and many of them had moved into the mansions of officials.
At the same time, he discovered that not only Huaiyuan, but many other border cities had also joined these people. However, Huaiyuan was the first to fall.
After a busy day, night fell, and Gu Qian and Qiu Yan returned to the inn.
Inside the room, Gu Qian brought Qiu Yan a cup of hot water.
"Yan Yan, drink some hot water and get a good night's sleep."
Qiu Yan took it and took a small sip.
"I'll be busy tomorrow morning, so I'd better get some sleep."
Gu Qian smiled, his eyes crinkling. He seemed to be imagining the sweet life they would have after their marriage. He took the water she had drunk from and gulped it down in one go.
Then, he wrapped his arms around her upper body, embraced her, leaned down, and kissed her forehead. "Mmm, let's sleep together."
Feeling the strong male hormones emanating from this man, Qiu Yan found that her breathing became somewhat difficult.
But just then, there was a commotion outside the window.
Qiu Yan's expression changed instantly. She pushed Gu Qian aside, walked to the window, and pushed the window open.
"Ah..." With a scream, a man plummeted vertically, then quickly rose again, climbing onto the windowsill once more.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Ling Qi.
Ling Ba, on the other hand, appeared on the rooftop on the opposite side.
Qiu Yan was surprised and embarrassed.
"Miss Xiaoyan..." Ling Qi exhaled a cold breath, the pain in his head making him feel dizzy.
