Chapter 400: Don’t Just Look at the Face
"I won't die." Jiang Yao smiled at her, then looked at Xiao Jingfan and spoke very slowly, "I want to use Yin Lanci's blood to sacrifice to Master."
If it weren't for the agreement, she would have killed Yin Lanci last night.
Considering the conditions given by the emperor and the preferential treatment that will be given to Yuecheng in the future, she is willing to wait.
This time, we were able to capture Yin Lanci with minimal casualties and quickly eliminate those monsters that were neither human nor ghost, thanks to Jiang Yao's great help.
Therefore, even though he saw that Jiang Yao was in a very bad state, Xiao Jingfan did not regret it out of fear. He even gave Jiang Yao a reassurance, saying that he would definitely fulfill his promise.
Jiang Yao curved her eyes and tried to smile, but before she could smile, she fell limply onto Tong Niang.
"Miss!" Tongniang hurriedly hugged her, and Chu Liuzheng also went over to help, helping her lie down on the Xiangfei couch.
She accidentally touched Jiang Yao's hand, and she shuddered from the coldness.
[Frog Fun! Is this the body temperature of a living person?]
She subconsciously reached out and felt Jiang Yao's breath.
A slight air current brushed against the skin.
Tongniang tilted her head to look at her, Chu Liuzheng smiled awkwardly, and brought a cloak to cover Jiang Yao.
Xiao Jingfan ordered, "Go and get Doctor Feng."
-
The flying birds landed on the branches with their long feathers, singing melodiously.
The people in Xiyuan woke up from their sweet dreams one after another, and went home after being comforted and evacuated by the officers and soldiers.
The streets were wet, the bloodstains had been cleaned up, and a faint scent of grass and trees still lingered in the air.
The people discussed as they walked.
"The bandits on the Thousand-foot Cliff are so despicable that they dared to break into the city and rob. Fortunately, the garrison discovered them in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Indeed, it was a good thing we all went to the Happy Garden to see the magic show yesterday. If we had stayed at home, we might not have survived."
"Why haven't I heard of a bandit camp on Thousand-foot Cliff before? It's so well hidden."
"Will the bandits come again?"
"I heard from the officer just now that the bandits suffered heavy casualties. Not many are left alive. They have all retreated to Thousand-foot Cliff and dare not come again."
"That's good."
"I'm not afraid of you coming again. The garrison hasn't withdrawn yet. If you dare to come, you will die."
"That's right, if you dare to come, I'll fight them!"
…
In Xi Garden, everyone left one after another. Huang Ying took Dong'er to look for her elder sister in the garden. She accidentally pushed open the door of box number three. Before she even stepped in, she was frightened by the bloody scene in the box that looked like hell and fainted.
Upon hearing the news, the bailiffs rushed over and, after much inquiry, escorted the master and servant back to the inn where they were staying. As for the unusual situation in Box 3, no one dared to inquire further, as the superiors had ordered.
In the county government office, the county magistrate sat in his study with his eyes wide open all night. His eyes were bloodshot and his white hair was much more than a few days ago.
How did he get into this trouble?
After receiving the emperor's summons, he hurriedly washed up and rushed to Xiyuan in a sedan chair.
However, he did not expect that he would be dismissed from office without even seeing the emperor. Not only would he have to return all the money he had earned from exploiting the people over the years, but his entire family would also be exiled. He was so scared that he could hardly breathe. If Feng Jing had not arrived in time, he would have met his death.
But even if he was rescued, it wouldn't be much better. He would have to be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life, with a crooked nose and eyes, and he wouldn't even be able to speak a complete sentence.
Chu Liuzheng felt that it would be better to die than to live like this.
"He's brought this upon himself, and he doesn't deserve any sympathy." Feng Jing said as he examined Jiang Yao. "You don't know how many bad things he's done during his years in office. He's definitely responsible for Yin Lanci's ability to maintain so many minions in Sishui Town."
Chu Liuzheng did not sympathize with the county magistrate either. Corrupt officials did not deserve sympathy.
She looked at Jiang Yao on the couch and asked, "How is it?"
"Not very good." Feng Jing sighed and shook his head, but he refused to say exactly how bad it was.
Tongniang's eyes turned red with anxiety: "Doctor Feng, you are a great doctor, please save my daughter."
As she spoke, she was about to kneel down to Feng Jing, and asked Feng Jing and Chu Liuzheng to support her.
Feng Jing said: "I will save her if I can, but even I can't help Master Jiang in her current situation. She can only rely on herself."
Upon hearing this, Tongniang's tears immediately rolled down.
Chu Liuzheng was also worried. He supported her and whispered a few words of comfort to her. He asked Feng Jing, "When will Abbey Master Jiang wake up?"
"If it's fast, it's tonight." Feng Jing said, "If it's slow, he will definitely wake up within three days."
These words at least gave Tongniang some comfort.
Feng Jing handed her a bottle of medicine and asked her to feed Jiang Yao one pill, and then he could carry her to the carriage.
Tongniang hurriedly thanked her and took it.
The group went downstairs and found themselves under layers of guards. The carriage was already waiting at the gate.
The sun shone down obliquely, making Chu Liuzheng squint his eyes.
Yin Lanci was captured just like that, smoothly and without any setbacks, which made her feel a little unreal.
But on second thought, they have prepared everything, and with the help of Jiang Yao, their natural nemesis, and Ping Xuan, the traitor, it seems natural that things will go smoothly?
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Ping Xuan who was quietly following behind everyone.
There was neither joy nor sadness on the young man's pretty face.
"Are you interested in her?" Feng Jing, who was walking side by side with her, nudged her with his elbow.
Chu Liuzheng turned his gaze away and looked at him: "You should treat your eyes when you have time."
"You can't just look at the face." Feng Jing pointed forward and whispered, "Even if you look at the face, he's not as good-looking as that one."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
Seeing that Feng Jing was about to continue the conversation on this dangerous topic, she quickly asked, "Why didn't you come to watch the magic show last night?"
"It's all hallucinogens and sleight of hand." Feng Jing curled his lips in disdain. "You know I'm immune to all poisons. You see butterflies and flowers, but I only see a bare platform. If you have the time to spare, you might as well go find a fortune teller."
When he mentioned this, Chu Liuzheng asked curiously, "Did you really find a half-immortal?"
Feng Jing nodded, pulled out a red brocade bag from his bosom and waved it at her: "The result is here. You have to wait five hours before you can see it, otherwise it won't work."
Chu Liuzheng: "...How much did you spend?"
"It's free." Feng Jing put the brocade bag back into his arms. "I saved his life last night. I can't repay him for saving my life. He told me his fortune for free."
[Good fellow, using a lucky bag to trick someone into saving his life, the half-immortal is quite good at business.]
Chu Liuzheng was just about to open the system to see what was written in the treasure bag when he suddenly heard Feng Jing scream "Ah" and rushed forward as if his butt was on fire.
Chu Liuzheng:?
"Your Majesty, this morning when I rushed to Xiyuan, I encountered a murderer and poisoned him."
Xiao Jingfan looked at him with complicated eyes. The man in front of him was probably the most tough doctor in the world.
He asked, "Where are the people?"
"I rushed back in a hurry and asked the two guards who followed me to carry him back." Feng Jing turned his head and looked around, chattering non-stop, "He was covered in blood and must have been seriously injured. He wanted to kill me just by confronting me. I don't think I've ever had such an enemy. If I hadn't been quick-witted, he would have succeeded."
