Chapter 167 Chapter 167 Ye Changning did not stop, and continued...
Chapter 167
Ye Xiuluo's name is not only well-known in the capital, but people in other states and counties also know that Dayan has a Dali Temple Shaoqing who is good at solving cases and catching criminals.
——Of course, now the Shaoqing of Dali Temple has been promoted to the Ministry of Justice, and is even more majestic.
People in the martial arts world naturally would not miss the opportunity to get to know such a person with the name "Ashura".
When the killer saw him, his eyes froze for a moment, then he mustered up his willpower to meet his gaze.
Ye Changning stared at the other person's face with a cold look.
——How dare he use his looks to deceive her!
The crime is unforgivable!
Ye Changning lowered his eyes and tilted his head slightly, indicating Youqi to leave the person to him.
He didn't want others to see some of his tricks.
You Qi was also an expert at interrogation, so he naturally understood Ye Changning's concerns and tactfully stepped back.
The other secret guards and the guards from the Princess's Mansion and Zhou's Mansion also tacitly looked away.
Ye Changning turned his wrist, and a small carving knife appeared in his hand. It was the kind most commonly used by the Ministry of Works, delicate and sharp, very useful for carving wood or other soft materials.
Therefore, scratching the softest skin of the human body is a piece of cake.
Ye Changning didn't touch any other part of the other person, but his face.
Starting from the temples near the temples, he slowly drew downwards with gentle and neat movements, and soon made a three-inch long cut along the edge of the cheek.
It’s not deep, but it’s painful.
Blood flowed out, gathered at his jaw, and then dripped onto the ground, quickly staining the ground bloody.
Although the killer was in pain and scared, he still remained tough.
This one order is enough to make him famous for eternity.
Moreover, the family can rest assured for the rest of their lives.
He had to grit his teeth and hold on.
Otherwise, the whole family will end up dead.
Ye Xiuluo's methods are just like this.
Almost like a secret guard.
Ye Changning looked at me with a disdainful gaze, devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at a dead person. His voice was as cold as ice: "I heard you have the nickname 'King of a Thousand Faces', and it really lives up to your reputation."
The Thousand Faces King blinked, the sweat from the pain falling into his eyes, salty and stinging. The blood from the wound was diluted by the cold sweat, becoming a little more transparent.
His face twitched in pain twice, and he said with difficulty: "Ye Xiuluo's name is also well-known in the martial arts world."
Ye Changning continued to work on his face, "You acted well, very much like me. Since you are good at and enjoy playing all kinds of people... then you should forget about your original face."
The Thousand Faces King trembled all over.
He had thought Ye Changning disliked him using his face, so he cut the mask off, but he didn't hold back, deliberately scratching his natural face—otherwise, why would it bleed? Ye Xiuluo's hands should be very steady.
But he didn't expect that he would actually peel off his original skin!!!
Ye Changning's voice was gentle, yet as chilling as the snow on an iceberg. "Don't worry, I can guarantee that you'll be fine even without that face. And if you want to change your appearance again in the future, you can do it as you please."
The blade had reached the jaw, cutting almost half of the face, and a small pool of blood had formed on the ground.
The Thousand Faces King's trembling intensified. He was not worried about being tortured or killed with a single blow - that would have been a more painstaking death - but he was afraid of losing his original face.
He can transform into thousands of different faces, but there is only one that belongs to him.
Sometimes, just by grasping the point that the other person cares about most, you can make him or her collapse.
Ye Changning did it.
As he continued to cut the edge of the other half of his face without saying anything, the Thousand Faces King said, "Wait, I have an antidote."
Ye Changning didn't put away his knife immediately. He just asked calmly, "Do you have an antidote now? Are you sure? Are you lying to me?"
Thousand Faces King: "Sure! I'm not lying to you!"
Ye Changning examined him for a moment before putting away his knife.
The Thousand Faces King breathed a sigh of relief, and then wisely took off the mask himself, so as to avoid angering the other party by pretending to be Ye Xiuluo and causing him to attack him again.
Ye Changning waited quietly for him to present the antidote.
The Thousand Faces King presented his mask first, then said, "The antidote is on top of the pillars of the pavilion five miles from here. There's a hole there, and inside is a green porcelain bottle. The antidote is inside."
Ye Changning threw away the cloth used to wipe the blood from the carving knife along with the mask, and turned to leave.
The Thousand Faces King breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling a lingering fear. He lowered his head and saw the cloth and mask shattered by Ye Xiuluo's inner force.
It disappears without a trace as soon as the spring breeze blows.
Ye, Chang, Ning...
This person is really scary.
It is even more terrifying than the secret guards' killing without being seen.
He seemed to be able to see right through people's hearts—to see what mattered to you most.
Any disguise is useless.
The Thousand Faces King sighed, thinking about ending his own life, but was also worried about his brothers and family. In the end, his hands were tied behind his back by the secret guards and he was kept under guard.
Of course, this route of Yazhong□□ has long been blocked.
Well, let’s just survive for now.
…
Ye Changning didn't trust others, so he led a horse and climbed up swiftly. He kicked the horse's belly and returned the way he came.
He still remembers the long pavilion.
It was getting dark, and the weather was not good.
The wind gradually picked up, howling, lightning and thunder, it was going to rain heavily.
Ye Changning leaned forward, almost level with the horse's back, and the horse's hooves quickly stepped on the dust that had just been soaked by raindrops, splashing up mud puddles.
It had to be done as quickly as possible. Saving a quarter of an hour would give her a quarter of an hour more time to search for her, and she would also have a quarter of an hour less to endure the torture of the poison.
After successfully obtaining the antidote, Ye Changning rode back at full speed. By this time, the rain had already covered the sky and the earth.
The heavy rain washed away the gravel and soil, and pushed their path down the mountain to search for Lin Zhiyi and Zhou Mingyan hundreds of meters further.
Ye Changning did not stop, but continued to look for a suitable place in the rain and prepare to go down the mountain.
His confidants were surprised at his anxiety - you know, no matter how difficult the case or how hard the criminal was, Ye Shaoqing had never been so anxious.
"You will camp here. I will explore the way ahead. If I find the Prince Consort and the others, I will give you a signal."
"Sir, let's go together. The rain is too heavy and the mountain road is slippery. If there are more people, we can look after each other." Youqi insisted.
He was already very grateful to Ye Changning for finding the antidote. It would be a mistake to let Ye Changning take the risk alone again.
Ye Changning was silent for a moment and no longer insisted on setting off alone.
His confidants also followed.
Yuchi and Yuhachi followed, while the others continued to stay.
Some people also took some antidotes to search for the lost Ji Fenglinsong and others - after the landslide, they were blocked at the other end of the mountain road.
It's really difficult to reunite as soon as possible now that it's raining.
It would be better to send the antidote over sooner.
…
Lightning flashed across the sky and thunder rumbled. Lin Zhiyi and Zhou Mingyan in the cave suddenly woke up from their coma.
Both of them were injured and poisoned. Although Zhou Mingyan had treated it slightly and suppressed it with his internal energy, the poison still invaded his lungs to some extent.
So, after they rested, they both slept for three or four hours in a row.
It took a long time for the thunder to wake them up.
As soon as Lin Zhiyi moved, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, pressed her chest and slowly stood up.
The rain formed a curtain of rain at the entrance of the cave.
It’s raining... and it’s a thunderstorm.
Lin Zhiyi sighed, moved his fingers slightly, and grabbed the jade pendant around his neck.
She was extremely grateful that she woke up early and did not switch bodies with someone while she was unconscious.
What if this changes?
If A Yue had personally witnessed her "miserable" current situation, she would have to give her a lesson.
Fortunately, fortunately.
Lin Zhiyi coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Zhou Mingyan beside him with stars in his eyes.
He took off his heavy outer robe and put it on the ground for her to use, but he himself was only wearing a single layer of clothes... Can he hold on in this rainy night?
“Mingyan! Mingyan!” Lin Zhiyi’s chest and abdomen ached terribly, and he couldn’t make a loud sound. He called out softly twice before Zhou Mingyan responded, “What’s wrong? Are they chasing us?!”
He was instantly alert, but the wound was moved and his face turned pale.
"No. It's raining. Come over here and let's wrap ourselves in your coat. Don't let yourself get frozen. It would be troublesome if you develop a high fever."
Zhou Mingyan stood up with a heavy head and a wry smile on his lips - if he was not mistaken, he had a fever.
As soon as Zhou Mingyan approached, Lin Zhiyi noticed that his body temperature was very high, and she reached out to touch Zhou Mingyan's forehead.
Zhou Mingyan was startled and wanted to hide, but she was afraid of causing Lin Zhiyi's internal injuries. She moved back a little and then froze. Then she took the initiative to move forward and let her touch her: "I don't feel anything, how about you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Lin Zhiyi: "I just have internal injuries, I need to recover for a while... Your temperature is not low... Let me see if there is any medicine."
Although her treasure bag was on her horse's back, she still had to carry with her some urgent items, such as medicine and small weapons for self-defense.
Zhou Mingyan saw her take out a small bottle from her purse, which contained very small pills.
A strong smell of isatis root.
Of course, the ingredients in it are not just isatis root.
Lin Zhiyi is not well versed in medical knowledge, but he is a modern man at heart and he still understands simple pharmacology. After describing it to the doctor, the doctor made this pill.
Powdered medicine is difficult to prepare and preserve, but pills are not difficult to prepare and their shelf life can be slightly extended.
She poured two pills for Zhou Mingyan: "There's no water, just take it."
Zhou Mingyan took it as he was told: "You take one too, just as a precaution."
"good."
Lin Zhiyi took a pill, then picked up the padded outer robe and wrapped it together with Zhou Mingyan to protect them from the wind.
Zhou Mingyan coughed occasionally, his body shaking uncontrollably. But he remained optimistic, smiling, "This rain has helped us—it's difficult for us to move, and it's also difficult for the assassins to move."
"Yeah..." Lin Zhiyi looked at the rain and fell into deep thought.
Now her and Zhou Mingyan's situation is too miserable.
Maybe... you can also consider exchanging bodies with A Yue?
When she woke up from A Yue's body, she was in the princess's mansion in the capital. She knew clearly that she was in danger and could immediately dispatch people to support her.
Being nagged by someone is a small matter, but if it is delayed any longer, it will cause trouble for Zhou Mingyan!
Zhou Mingyan was very weak and his face was pale, which made people feel frightened and worried.
Zhou Mingyan had no idea what she was thinking, his attention was all on the outer robe they both wore - Xiuyuan had been a man for so long that he was so careless!
But he's not used to it yet!
He has always regarded Xiuyuan as a good brother who can live and die with him!
Who knew that one day, good brothers would suddenly become good sisters!
And so close to him!
He still prefers to be unconscious!
Just as he thought of this, the person next to him leaned against his shoulder and fainted before him.
Zhou Mingyan: "..."
He took Lin Zhiyi's hand and felt his pulse - Xiuyuan's internal injuries had become more serious.
Because he was concerned about the effects of the poison needle, he did not rashly use his internal energy to heal Xiuyuan.
But this is not a solution...
This rain...it's hard to tell whether it's a blessing or a curse.
