Chapter 355: Process of elimination, not the dog emperor.
After hearing this, Yuan Pei stood there for a long time without being able to utter a word, but just by looking at his violently heaving chest one could tell that he was in a very uncomfortable mood at the moment.
While the medicine in the pot was not boiling yet, Ran Qingxuan asked Qi Minghe's men to set up a tent with the four bodyguards as the center, and Gu Yanchen was still guarding outside.
She definitely couldn't lead people into the space in public, so she could only treat them outside. She didn't want people to see her cutting open those people's skin to remove the arrows, so she could only surround them with a tent.
Three of the four bodyguards have fainted. One of them looked very tall and strong. If it weren't for his physique, he would have died like the other three.
In front of the escort, Ran Qingxuan took out the stitching materials from the cloth bag and cut open the clothes of one of the escorts to reveal the location where the arrow was shot in front of him in front of his shocked eyes.
She injected him with anesthetic through a blind spot. Just as she was about to use a scalpel to cut the skin on both sides of the arrow, the burly man suddenly shouted with his eyes wide open.
"Stop, are you going to kill him?"
Yuan Pei, who heard the noise outside, looked stern and was about to rush in, but Gu Yanchen was not a decoration and stepped in front of him.
"My wife needs to concentrate when she is treating you. You are not allowed to enter."
All the bodyguards in the escort team were injured to some extent. If Gu Yanchen had not single-handedly resisted most of the men in black, they would have been wiped out this time.
Yuan Pei knew that he was no match for Gu Yanchen, but he still planned to rush in to save people.
"It's okay, let him in!"
She quietly put away all the items used for injection, and the remaining items were relatively common, so they would basically not be exposed.
After hearing this, Gu Yanchen moved aside.
When Yuan Pei entered, he saw Ran Qingxuan kneeling in front of one of them with a small knife in his hand. A big hole had been cut in her brother's clothes on his chest, and the man's bronze skin was clearly exposed.
The first sight of it frightened him so much that he stepped forward subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, Ran Qingxuan stopped him just by raising his eyes.
"Either watch quietly or be dragged out by my husband. Your choice!"
Yuan Pei paused as he stretched his hand towards his waist, frightened by Ran Qingxuan's serious and solemn expression.
Are you kidding? These people cannot understand the inherent authority of a doctor. His unquestionable attitude is enough to make them subconsciously convinced.
Seeing that he was no longer moving forward, Ran Qingxuan decisively took the first step.
"Brother Yuan, is she killing people or saving people..." The burly man struggled to get up, but after being poisoned, he felt weak all over and only his head could move temporarily.
Yuan Pei did not answer his question, but watched in amazement as Ran Qingxuan took out the arrowhead from the cut flesh.
In an instant, he seemed to understand something, and signaled the big man not to speak, then stared at Ran Qingxuan's movements intently.
Until he saw Ran Qingxuan opening the wound as if to confirm something, and then picked up a pair of oddly shaped pliers and used the curved needle and thread to sew up the wound.
The wound she sutured was slightly darker in color, but not a single drop of blood seeped out.
"Put your heart back in your stomach after reading it, and you can go out now."
Yuan Pei took a deep breath and saluted towards Ran Qingxuan.
Inside the tent, Ran Qingxuan quickly removed the arrows and sewed up the other two men. Soon, the burly man who had just shouted at her to kill someone was the only one left.
After watching Ran Qingxuan treat his brothers, the big man looked away uncomfortably at the people walking towards him.
"Do you feel embarrassed now?"
Yue Hai felt dizzy and fainted when she teased him.
Ran Qingxuan thought this was a good idea as it would save him from having to take anesthesia.
After treating everyone's wounds, the instruments in the space had already extracted a purer antidote from the detoxifying herbs.
Ran Qingxuan drew four tubes and injected them into the four people one by one. Soon their complexion improved visibly, and the color around the wounds was not so dark.
As for those outside who had scratches on their arms and legs, their condition gradually began to improve after taking detoxification pills and appropriate herbal medicines.
Since the incident happened ten miles away from the post house, they didn't have to worry about the dead men in black. Someone had already gone to notify them before Ran Qingxuan gave them treatment.
As for the two men in black who were anesthetized, they have woken up and are now being tortured.
Duan Yi rarely had a sullen face, and there was anger in his eyes as he looked at the two of them.
"How did you know where I was going?"
In order not to attract attention, he left Cangzhou with the Qi family convoy this time. He had a safe journey here, but an assassination happened before he even entered Cangzhou. How could he not be angry?
The man in black had already been beaten black and blue, but he still refused to say anything.
Ran Qingxuan washed his face, changed his outer clothes, and stood beside Gu Yanchen.
"how?"
"I don't know what the situation is, but it's obviously not directed at me."
Judging from the fact that those men in black indiscriminately attacked those who left the carriage at the beginning, and then went straight to the second carriage in the end, it can be basically confirmed that they were targeting Duan Yi.
After Ada cut off one of the men's fingers, he grabbed his hair and forced him to raise his head.
"Tell me, were you also responsible for the previous assassinations?"
"Pah..." The man in black spat blood in the direction of Duan Yi expressionlessly, his eyes filled with hatred.
Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen were standing about five or six meters away. They thought that it would be better for them to think about what they had done and who they had offended instead of asking...
But on second thought, she felt that as the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei who had fiefdoms and military power, even if he had offended someone, those people should not dare to assassinate him so blatantly, right?
And more than once!
Inexplicably, Ran Qingxuan suddenly asked, "Did the dog emperor send you to assassinate him?"
The man in black sneered, seeming to think Ran Qingxuan was ridiculous.
"By process of elimination, it's not the dog emperor." It's not difficult to tell from the black-clothed man's micro-expression that it's not him. Ran Qingxuan shrugged indifferently at Duan Yi's shocked expression.
But just as she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of the hesitation that flashed across the face of escort leader Yuan Pei.
But she did not remind him immediately. Instead, she pretended not to see it and left with Gu Yanchen.
The post officer arrived soon, and Qi Minghe came forward and said that he had encountered bandits who were robbing along the way.
After following the formalities, the post officer took away the assassin's body and buried it. After cleaning up the remaining bloodstains on the official road, he left.
Everything was as if nothing had happened. No matter how many assassination attempts Duan Yi encountered, they were never able to get any useful information out of those men in black.
But this time was different. Duan Yi planned to keep the two of them and take them back for interrogation, so his pace was much faster.
Qi Minghe asked someone to buy two more carriages and took the four bodyguards who were still unconscious and the wounded who had leg injuries and could not walk easily.
Ran Qingxuan had been keeping an eye on the escort leader Yuan Pei, constantly wondering why he had that expression.
Unexpectedly, he hardly stopped walking and she didn't have a chance to ask him anything.
Since they were taking the official road, the team entered Cangzhou after eight days of walking.
