Shangguan Chang covered his wound and staggered in the direction Mo Ying pointed to him.
There were faint flashes of fire behind him.
That's a torch!
The officers and soldiers finally caught up!
That Mo Ying? But at this moment, he couldn't think too much and could only run forward with his head down.
Keep your body as low as possible and move among the trees.
But he was discovered anyway.
"There's movement ahead, chase them!"
Hearing the sound, Shangguan Chang gritted his teeth and ran forward desperately.
He is the Sixth Prince of Xiyue, he must not be caught by this group of people, let alone become a prisoner!
He suddenly laughed at himself, he never thought that he would have such an embarrassing day.
In a trance, he stepped into a small puddle, staggered, and fell to the ground.
The wound was bleeding again from the impact. He looked back and saw that the pursuers were only a hundred meters away from him. He hurriedly got up from the ground and ran forward in panic.
Li Wanjing shouted at everyone when he vaguely saw the embarrassed figure rolling and crawling in front of him.
“Chase after him!”
The pursuers were getting closer and closer, but Shangguan Chang was almost exhausted. He gritted his teeth and ran forward, looking back from time to time.
He didn't notice that he had run up a small steep slope. When he was running downhill, he suddenly stepped on empty air and rolled down.
"ah--"
And a few meters away is a cliff.
Li Wanjing only heard this shout and then watched the assassin roll down the cliff.
He ran over, and in the light of the torch, he looked down the cliff with gloomy eyes and a cold face.
"Send someone to check under the cliff!"
The deputy general behind him looked hesitant.
"General, this cliff is very high. If you fall down, you will definitely die. What's more, the area below is the territory of Jinyu Country..."
Hearing this, Li Wanjing grasped the sword and slammed it heavily on the ground.
"hateful!"
After a long while, he calmed down his anger and spoke slowly.
"Forget it. It's impossible to survive on such a high cliff. Let's go back to the city first!"
…
Xiyue capital, Soul-demanding Pavilion.
"No more, no more!"
Luo Yuanqing, wearing a black and gold brocade robe embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns and dark red outlines, threw the black piece in his hand onto the chessboard and scratched it, instantly ruining the entire game.
Seeing him behaving like this, Shangguan Jin shook his head, cursed inwardly, "You are not as skilled as others, so you start to act like a rogue", and put the chess piece in his hand back into the chess box.
Luo Yuanqing put one foot on the chair and leaned back lazily.
"By the way, I've helped you so much, so I don't think it's too much to ask you to help me get some help and see a miracle doctor, right?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Help?"
Hearing his tone, Luo Yuanqing's eyebrows jumped and he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
He put his feet down, sat up straight, looked at Shangguan Jin seriously, and counted for him on his fingers.
"I will help you send the witness back, and I will also help you intercept Shangguan Zhi's carrier pigeon and block Shangguan Chang's news."
"You have lost your memory, have you forgotten everything?"
Shangguan Jin waved his hands and raised his eyebrows.
"You did all these things on your own initiative. I never asked you for help."
"you……"
Luo Yuanqing suddenly stood up from his chair, looking incredulous, pointing at him, opening and closing his mouth, and after a long while he could only utter one word.
Finally, he waved his sleeves angrily.
"Why didn't I realize before that you have such a shameless side?!"
Shangguan Jin also stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
Luo Yuanqing rarely showed a pleading look on his face.
Shangguan Jin paused and turned to look at him.
Luo Yuanqing sighed and sat on the chair.
"It's my master's wife. In the past few months, I have looked for famous doctors in Xiyue, but they all said that they couldn't cure it."
"Seeing my wife suffering from illness every day, I felt bad. We were planning to give up, but last month, someone below sent back a message."
He became very excited when talking about this.
"Do you still remember the emperor of Jinyu Kingdom who was bedridden for many years?"
"Many famous doctors have concluded that he would have to spend the rest of his life bedridden, but two months ago, he was actually out and about, full of energy, just like a normal person! No!"
Luo Yuanqing's eyes were shining with unusual eagerness.
"It's like being reborn!"
As he spoke, he stretched out a finger.
"It is said that he has vowed to travel to all the famous places of interest in the world within a year!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jin's eyes flickered slightly.
It sounds like...
"I secretly sent someone to investigate, and it turned out to be Jin Fanren. He went out to seek medical advice and brought back a magical medicine, which helped the Emperor of Jinyu Kingdom get better!"
Luo Yuanqing looked at him steadily, observing his reaction.
"My people also found out that he had been to Daqi before and had been in and out of the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion."
After hearing this, Shangguan Jin was certain that it was the life-extending elixir.
Hearing Luo Yuanqing talking about the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion, his brows slightly frowned.
"You actually investigated the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion? Aren't you afraid that the Shadow Tower will cause trouble for you?"
Hearing his words, Luo Yuanqing's expression froze for a moment, and then he pretended to be indifferent.
"I just sent someone to gather information, and I didn't do anything to the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion."
"If you are unwilling to help introduce me, then I can only go to Daqi and ask in person at the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion."
Shangguan Jin pursed his lips and glanced at him.
"Have you ever thought about why the Emperor of Jinyu Kingdom wants to see all the beautiful sights in the world within a year?"
"This... maybe they have other plans?"
Shangguan Jin sighed, "Perhaps, he only has one year?"
"One year?"
Luo Yuanqing murmured in a slightly dazed voice.
Then he stepped forward and excitedly grabbed Shangguan Jin's arm.
"You know this medicine, right?"
One year is fine, at least. All the famous doctors he consulted said that his wife would not live until next spring, without exception.
Shangguan Jin lowered his eyelids and stared at his hand that was holding his arm.
Noticing his gaze, Luo Yuanqing let go of him with a wry smile.
"Sorry, I'm just, too excited."
Shangguan Jin brushed off his sleeves and said, "If it's this matter, don't bother her. I can help you now."
Luo Yuanqing was ecstatic.
"really?!"
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Luo Yuanqing carefully observed his expression, and then asked: "Since you have such a miraculous medicine, then your father's side..."
But don't be too sympathetic!
"snort!"
Before he could finish, Shangguan Jin's face darkened and he snorted coldly.
"He doesn't deserve it!"
"Well said!"
Luo Yuanqing clapped his hands twice and nodded in agreement.
"Your father has been poisoned for a long time. Although Shangguan Xu has discovered the clues, he seems to be unwilling to tell the truth."
Speaking of this, he shook his head and clicked his tongue twice.
"Poor Xiyue King, his fatherly heart is so kind, but in the end he fed an ungrateful wolf!"
