In front of the three cannons, the three enemies outside the door were now smiling and waiting for Hua Wuxin's arrival. If you didn't know them, you would think they were waiting for old friends whom they hadn't seen for many years.
Tanhua, the only girl among the three, skipped over to Hua Wuxin and asked with a smile, "We thought you were dead. If you hadn't activated the Li family's jade cicada, we wouldn't have noticed you were in this state."
Hua Wuxin seemed to have forgotten the fierce battle just now and said leisurely: "You look like you're dead now. I didn't expect that you would be the ones guarding the artillery."
Prajna explained calmly, "I simply owe someone a favor, and now I'm here to repay it."
At this point, Hua Wuxin couldn't help but get to the point: "I won't make things difficult for you. I can leave the artillery alone, but they didn't ask you to guard the ammunition, did they?"
After the three of them exchanged glances, Prajna nodded slightly and said, "Please." As they spoke, the three of them took a step aside, making way for Hua Wuxin.
Hua Wuxin pulled out the tinderbox he carried with him from his sleeve and gently blew on the sparks while taking the time to talk to the three of them: "I remember you never liked to get involved in court affairs. Don't tell me it was Xie Zhuangshui who invited you here."
Tan Hua sneered with disgust and said, "Oh, that person is not worthy of our attention."
Hua Wuxin asked curiously, "Who is this person who invited these great Buddhas to move you?"
Prajna said, "We can't tell you, but we can give you a hint. You know that person, but you're not familiar with him. Moreover, he's currently in this military camp."
The second brother, who had been standing silently by the side, finally spoke up at this moment: "That's all I have to say. Once you finish your business, leave."
Hua Wuxin looked down at the already lit tinder in his hand and thought for a moment before handing it over to Prajna. Prajna took the fire and said, "We'll take care of the rest. If there's nothing else, you can leave."
"Thank you." Hua Wuxin had dealt with these three people in his early years. Apart from anything else, these three people were self-important and arrogant, so there was nothing they could not do once they promised.
The artillery cannot be destroyed today, but since they have agreed to help him destroy the ammunition here, he is not afraid that they will break their promise and sacrifice their reputation.
However, just as Hua Wuxin turned around and prepared to chase Wang Ruo, Tan Hua suddenly called out to him, "Wait a minute."
Hua Wuxin asked, "Is there anything else?"
After handing a small porcelain bottle to Hua Wuxin, Tan Hua explained, "I failed to recognize you earlier and hurt your friend. That silver needle was forged by me, Ying Han Poison. This can detoxify."
Hua Wuxin looked at the small porcelain bottle with an ambiguous look, then turned around and said, "See you again if we're lucky."
"Goodbye."
Prajna couldn't stand it any longer and held it in for a while. After Hua Wuxin left, she asked Tanhua, "There's no way to cure your cold poison. You're lying to him like this. Aren't you afraid that he'll find out and come after us?"
Tan Hua explained this despicable act very frankly and righteously: "I know that Big Brother will not be afraid of his revenge. I just want him to come to us."
The eldest and second oldest couldn't help but sigh in unison: "What an injustice!"
After straightening his somewhat disheveled sleeves, Tan Hua said coldly, "The man who was just hit by the needle will undoubtedly die. The medicine is just to help him escape sooner."
Wang Nianqing, who had been anxiously waiting outside the town for a long time, heard a deafening explosion suddenly from the town. After shouting, he looked towards the town entrance and saw several figures rushing towards him. "It seems they are back. Be ready to pick them up at any time!"
"yes!"
After picking up a few people, Wang Nianqing didn't bother to ask what happened in the town. He took them to the large carriage prepared in advance, and while the South Vietnamese army was in chaos, he swaggered through the pipeline and set out on the journey back to the valley.
On the way home, Wang Ruo took the medicine from Hua Wuxin and stuffed it into Li Xinzhai's mouth without saying a word or asking a question. When Hua Wuxin said that Mo Yu could also take the medicine, Hong Yu stuffed it into his mouth without asking any questions.
When night fell, the carriage was parked outside Zhiyoulin. In front of the flickering bonfire, Mo Yu's breathing gradually stabilized, but Li Xinzhai's condition was not optimistic at all.
The more Wang Ruo observed, the more she felt something was amiss. Mo Yu should have reacted, but why was Li Xinzhai's temperature dropping so low? Touching his hand felt like touching ice. And his breathing, while steady, was already groggy. "What's going on? Not only is the medicine having no effect, but Li Xinzhai's body seems to be getting colder and colder!"
Hua Wuxin didn't directly answer Wang Ruo's question. She just turned around and looked at Hong Yu and asked, "How is Mo Yu?"
Hong Yu nodded slightly and said, "It's okay. If nothing unexpected happens, he will wake up tomorrow."
Hua Wuxin slowly stood up, lowered his eyes to look at the dying man on the ground, and sighed, "...I hope that tomorrow, he can make it in time to see Li Xinzhai for the last time."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ruo stood up from the ground and said, "Wuxin, what are you talking about? Wasn't that medicine the antidote?"
Hua Wuxin smiled lightly and shook his head, saying, "I never said this was an antidote."
Everyone present nearly vomited blood upon hearing this. Wang Ruo grabbed Hua Wuxin by the collar, raised her head and glared at him angrily: "You, do you know what you are doing!"
Hua Wuxin explained calmly, "I know. The three of them were poisoned by the ice needles, and there's no cure for it. Ah Ruo, you have a know-it-all follower by your side, and I'm sure you've heard from him about the tragic scene when the cold poison erupted. Since there's no cure, why not let him pass away peacefully?"
Wang Ruo's hand, gripping his collar, trembled slightly. Why, why did this man always act on his own without consulting her? It was the same with Jiang Ling, and now it was the same with Li Xinzhai. He was right, but why wasn't he willing to give his fate one last struggle? Maybe, maybe there was still hope. "You, what do you want me to say about you..."
Hua Wuxin raised his voice, as if announcing something important, and said, "I will take responsibility for all of this. If anyone seeks revenge, I will never resist."
