Chapter 463 Who are you?
The system floated in mid-air, staring at the man's face in the darkness, and the data instantly became disordered.
That face is exactly the same as Xie Qingyun's!
No, the host and Jiang Luli had said in a casual chat before that Xie Qingyun is now in Kyoto accompanying Ye Yuntang and has never left. How could he appear in this dilapidated temple?
What made it even more puzzling was the man's attire.
He was wrapped in black clothes, the cloth was tightly attached to his body, even his hair was hidden in the hood, only his face was exposed. It was obvious that he was a person who had been committing murder and robbery for many years.
But in its memory, Xie Qingyun had always been a ethereal "master." Even when he'd tried to persuade his host to die before, he'd never resorted to forceful tactics, instead using both reason and emotion. So why was he resorting to something as direct as kidnapping now?
The system feels that its data flow is about to get tangled.
It's just an education system, not a detective system. How can it deal with such a complicated situation?
Now is not the time to dwell on these things, Gu Jiayue is still in danger, so it quickly turned around and floated towards the entrance of the ruined temple, trying to remind Jiang Luli of the situation inside.
As soon as I floated to the door, I heard hurried footsteps.
Jiang Luli had already rushed in with his secret guards.
The candlelight in the dilapidated temple flickered in the wind, illuminating the dust and cobwebs on the ground.
A dozen men in black suddenly jumped out from behind the altar and beside the pillars, holding short knives in their hands, and rushed towards Jiang Luli's men.
The two sides immediately engaged in a fight, and the clanging sound of weapons colliding echoed in the ruined temple.
The man who looked like Xie Qingyun was walking towards Gu Jiayue step by step, holding a silver syringe that did not belong to this world.
Gu Jiayue was lying on the ground with her eyes closed and her face pale. It was obvious that she was unconscious.
Jiang Luli also saw that face, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
How could it be Xie Qingyun?
But he quickly realized that no matter who this person was, he must not be allowed to hurt Gu Jiayue!
"Xie Qingyun! Stop! Don't hurt her!"
Xie Qingyun slowly turned around, a hint of ambiguous smile on his lips, and a hint of teasing in his voice. "It's a pity that you're late."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed the needle into Gu Jiayue's wrist, and the transparent liquid was instantly injected into her body.
The system was so anxious that it immediately activated the defense function.
A transparent light shield enveloped Gu Jiayue's wrist, intercepting the liquid. However, some of the liquid still flowed into Gu Jiayue's body through her blood vessels.
"Xie Qingyun" did not see this scene. When he saw that the liquid was "injected" successfully, he immediately retreated.
He had just taken two steps back when Jiang Luli's soft sword slashed across his cheek. The sword energy cut off several strands of his hair. If he had been a moment slower, a piece of his face would have been cut off.
"What did you do to her?" Jiang Luli's voice was as cold as ice, and his soft sword pointed directly at the other person's throat.
Xie Qingyun, however, remained calm and gave a devilish smile. "You'll know in a moment."
After saying that, under the cover of other men in black, he turned over and jumped out of the window of the dilapidated temple and disappeared into the night.
Jiang Luli had no intention of chasing after her.
Gu Jiayue’s safety is the most important thing now.
He walked quickly forward, carefully held Gu Jiayue in his arms, and pressed his palm on her pulse.
His fingertips could clearly feel her disordered pulse, as if something was traveling inside her body, draining away her vitality bit by bit.
But he had only learned some basic medical skills from Xiao Fuzi, and had no idea what it was. He could only be sure that Gu Jiayue's condition was very bad.
"We can't wait any longer!" Jiang Luli ran out of the ruined temple with Gu Jiayue in his arms. Behind him, he heard the sound of a fight between the men in black and General Zhang's soldiers. It seemed that "Xie Qingyun" and his group had encountered an ambush.
He didn't look back, jumped on the horse, squeezed his belly and galloped towards Juzhou City. The night wind made his robe rustle, and Gu Jiayue in his arms was as light as a feather, which made his heart ache.
The system floated beside Gu Jiayue, scanning her entire body with data streams. However, after scanning again and again, it still couldn't detect what the liquid was.
It's an education system, not a medical system, and its level is low, so it doesn't have any medical features unlocked. Even if it knows what the host has been poisoned with, it can't detoxify them.
It can only comfort itself in its heart that at least the host is not in danger of life for the time being. As long as there is life, there is no fear of running out of firewood. As long as it is alive, there will always be a way to solve it.
Jiang Luli and Gu Jiayue rushed directly into General Zhang's mansion and had the best rooms cleared out. He then issued another order. "Call all the doctors in Juzhou City! No matter what, they must arrive within half an hour!"
The secret guards did not dare to delay and immediately took action separately.
Not long after, more than a dozen doctors were dragged over.
Some doctors were disheveled and hadn't put on their shoes properly. Some were rubbing their eyes, obviously having been woken up from their sleep.
They looked at Jiang Luli's face, which was so cold that water seemed to be dripping out of it. They were trembling with fear, afraid that he would say "If you can't save me, you will be buried with me". They didn't even dare to breathe.
But Jiang Luli didn't lose his temper. Instead, he bowed to the doctors, his tone somewhat anxious but polite. "This is an emergency, and I've had to resort to strong measures. I ask for your forgiveness. Regardless of whether we can find the cause today, I will give each doctor a hundred taels of silver in medical fees. I only ask that you do your best to save this girl."
The doctors were surprised by the politeness of this seemingly formidable "young master." Their fear gradually dissipated, and they all nodded. "Don't worry, young master. We will do our best."
The doctors lined up to take Gu Jiayue's pulse. Some felt her pulse, some looked at her tongue coating, and some flipped her eyelids.
After they had finished watching, they gathered together again, discussing in low voices with their heads close together, frowning and shaking their heads from time to time.
Finally, an old doctor with gray hair stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Luli, saying, "Sir, this girl's condition is very peculiar, something we've never seen before. If she's been poisoned, her breathing is steady and her body is showing signs of recovery. If she's not, her pulse is fluctuating, suggesting a weakened condition. After discussing the matter, we've decided that the only way to confirm her condition is to wait until she wakes up before we can make a further diagnosis."
"But she hasn't woken up yet!" Jiang Luli's brows were twisted into knots, and his tone was full of anxiety.
"I have a plan," the old doctor pondered. "Why don't I give her acupuncture to stimulate her acupoints? Maybe I can wake her up."
Jiang Luli could only nod. "Then I'll trouble you, doctor."
The old doctor asked someone to bring a basin of warm water, washed his hands carefully, took out a silver needle from the medicine box, and carefully inserted it into Gu Jiayue's acupuncture point.
After a while, Gu Jiayue's forehead, wrists, and ankles were covered with silver needles, like a hedgehog.
After waiting for about an incense stick of time, Gu Jiayue's fingers moved slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
She looked at the unfamiliar bed curtains, the unfamiliar candlelight, and the group of strangers gathered around the bed. She frowned, her eyes filled with confusion, then suddenly panicked and turned to look at everyone. "Who are you? Where is this?"
Hearing Gu Jiayue's voice, Jiang Luli was delighted. He quickly pushed aside the doctor beside him and walked quickly to the bedside. He leaned over and asked, "Jiayue, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Gu Jiayue looked at the man in front of her.
He was very handsome, with deep eyes and eyebrows, but the familiarity in his eyes frightened her. She subconsciously shrank back into the bed, her voice trembling. "Who are you? I don't know you. Where is this?"
The smile on Jiang Luli's face froze instantly.
The look in Gu Jiayue's eyes when she looked at him was completely unfamiliar, without a trace of familiarity!
His brain seemed to be frozen. He mechanically turned to look at the doctors, his voice trembling. "What...what's going on? Why doesn't she recognize me?"
The doctors were also panicked and rushed over to check Gu Jiayue's pulse again.
Gu Jiayue had never seen such a scene before. She huddled in the corner of the bed, hugging her knees and trembling. "Don't come over here! I don't know you! Get out!"
Her fear was not feigned.
The panic in the pupils and the trembling of the body all revealed real fear.
Jiang Luli's heart sank little by little. The situation was more serious than he had imagined.
He slowed down his tone, trying to make his voice sound gentle. "Jiayue, they are doctors, they are here to treat you. Don't be afraid, let them take a look, okay?"
Gu Jiayue looked at Jiang Luli and could feel that he had no ill intentions, but she still felt nervous having so many strange men surrounding her.
At this moment, a sharp and urgent female voice came from outside the door. "Sister Gu! How are you? Are you hurt? I heard you were kidnapped, it scared me to death!"
