Chapter 443 Come and beg for mercy
An Yan said: "That is a very strange piece of clothing. If someone with evil thoughts uses it, it will backfire. I put aside my personal desires and I am not easily hurt."
"But you are still injured." Yan Qingqiu said.
"That's right. It's impossible that he can't hit me at all, but this is already a very good result. On the contrary, he will probably have a hard time for the rest of his life." An Yan answered nonchalantly and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
The old man said from outside the car, "They should be able to present the pearls to us soon. I don't think they would be so bold as to go back on their word."
Li Rongsen asked An Yan: "What if the people over there want you to save Qu He, will you do it?"
"Of course not. Why should we save him? We have all signed a life and death contract. Why should we care about him?" Yan Qingqiu sneered.
But An Yan didn't say anything. She just wanted to have a good sleep.
After returning to West City, she went back to her room to rest, while Yan Qingqiu was outside writing prescriptions and preparing medicine. Li Rongsen was also helping her and would occasionally go to Bai Yucheng's room.
The old man came over from outside and asked, "Hey, is Mr. Bai's medicine ready?"
"Okay, it's right there." Yan Qingqiu pointed to the bowl of medicine next to him, which was still steaming.
"I thought we couldn't make medicine without the city lord here." The old man breathed a sigh of relief.
"You underestimate me too much. I also make a living in this line of work. Besides, it's a ready-made prescription." Yan Qingqiu was a little unconvinced.
"Hey, the city lord hasn't woken up yet." asked the old man.
Li Rongsen replied: "I guess he won't wake up before dinner time."
"Then I'll tell them to prepare dinner first. The City Lord needs to be well nourished today." The old man said as he was about to leave, but turned back to Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen and said, "Can someone help take the medicine to Mr. Bai? I'm busy here."
"You old man, you really treat us like servants." Yan Qingqiu frowned.
Li Rongsen said, "I'll go." Then he took the medicine and went to Bai Yucheng's room.
Bai Yucheng was still lying there. He instinctively stood up and looked around when he heard footsteps, but it was Li Rongsen who walked in and asked him, "I heard the city lord went out. Is he back now?"
"I'm back and resting in the house." Li Rongsen said as he put the medicine aside, helped Bai Yucheng up, and placed a large cushion on his back.
Bai Yucheng said, "I'm very worried. I think it's because of me. I heard that the medicine to treat me requires a certain herbal ingredient."
"Just take good care of yourself, it's nothing serious." Li Rongsen picked up the spoon and fed Bai Yucheng medicine.
"You are quite handsome. Who are you from West City?" Bai Yucheng asked him.
"I'm Yan Qingqiu's friend."
Bai Yucheng nodded slightly and said, "Thank you very much."
Li Rongsen did not respond, but he could see Bai Yucheng clearly. He was indeed a good-looking man, with a gentle and elegant demeanor, many times better than Gu Zinan.
Thinking of this, he worried whether An Yan would have to rush back to treat Gu Zinan. After all, she had promised to go there for acupuncture once a day.
I don’t know how An Yan is doing now.
An Yan was not actually sleeping, but was sitting on the couch meditating and practicing her skills. She needed to heal herself.
Originally, this was not a serious injury, but she felt a little tired because it seemed as if there was a force restraining her. Fortunately, she could still handle it.
But at the very end, a clear and shallow pain ran across her heart chakra.
This made her feel a little sad, and she couldn't help but put her hand on her heart chakra, thinking about how to heal herself.
Now that she had some strength, An Yan first went into the bathroom to take a bath, then changed into clean clothes and went out.
Yan Qingqiu was originally in Li Rongsen's room. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he quickly put down what he was doing and ran out to see. Sure enough, it was An Yan who came out. He asked her, "How are you?"
"I'm fine. What are you busy with?" An Yan asked as she walked towards him.
"I've prescribed a medicine for you. It's being decocted on the medicine stove. It should be ready soon." Yan Qingqiu pointed to several medicine stoves in the yard.
"Why do you need to cook so much?" An Yan asked, then opened the medicine stoves one by one and found that these medicines were all good. It can be seen that Yan Qingqiu's skills have not been lost, although he has not made medicine for a long time.
Yan Qingqiu said, "Come in and sit down. I'll call the old man to serve you."
"Where is Li Rongsen?" An Yan asked.
"He is in Bai Yucheng's room. I asked him to bring the medicine over, but he hasn't come back since." Yan Qingqiu told her.
"Then I'll go over and take a look."
"Who are you going to see?" Yan Qingqiu asked her with a smile.
An Yan sneered and ignored him, then went to Bai Yucheng's room. Sure enough, she saw Li Rongsen talking to him, and they seemed to be having a very good conversation.
Bai Yucheng saw An Yan coming over and said, "Are you alright?"
"Of course nothing, what are you talking about?" An Yan asked.
"It's me. I'm asking Mr. Li some questions. I want to tell him what advantages our Taiping City has and ask him to help take care of it. This will also make life better for the people in the city." Bai Yucheng explained to her in a gentle voice.
Li Rongsen sat on the stool beside the bed and stood up, while An Yan sat down on it herself. She took Bai Yucheng's wrist and felt his pulse. She said, "It's nothing serious. Take a few more pills to recuperate, and then wait for Zhenzhu."
"I'm really sorry to trouble you. I feel so sorry." Bai Yucheng said.
"Don't say that. It was me who made you the city lord." An Yan gestured for him to have a good rest.
At this time, someone outside came to report, saying, "City Lord, there are people coming from the other side of the river. Please go over there."
An Yan stood up and went to look at the man. She said, "I see. I'll go right over. Let him wait in the hall first."
Li Rongsen said, "I'll go with you."
An Yan said to Bai Yucheng, "I think the pearl has arrived. You will be able to get out of bed and walk soon."
Bai Yucheng smiled at her lightly and nodded.
An Yan immediately turned around and walked out of the house and headed towards the front hall, while Li Rongsen followed her and said, "You'd better be careful, lest they get dissatisfied and try to cheat."
"After all, this is West City's territory, so they have to take some things into consideration." An Yan signaled him not to worry, and guessed that it was Lan Yu who brought Zhenzhu here.
Sure enough, Lan Yu was standing in the front hall, and there were ten people behind her, each holding a box in their hands. If I guessed correctly, the box should be filled with pearls.
Lan Yu no longer had the arrogance of the past. He didn't even look at Li Rongsen, but said to An Yan: "City Lord, I have brought the pearls today. I hope you will forgive my sins and save my uncle's life. He will not survive." After that, he signaled the men to open the box.
The box was indeed filled with lustrous pearls, each one full and round, emitting a light blue sheen, gradually shining, which was very pleasing.
"You can survive. You won't die so soon." An Yan signaled her not to be nervous, and picked up a pearl and pinched it between her fingers, looking carefully towards the sun, then crushed it easily and threw it into the air. They all turned into crystal powder, and the light they emitted was like a rainbow, which showed that they were real.
The old man walked over from outside. He saw Lan Yu, a woman with tears in her eyes, and she even knelt down before An Yan. He said sincerely, "City Lord, this is all my fault. My uncle was just trying to vent his anger on my behalf. He didn't really want to covet the position of West City Lord."
