She was being very careful, but she still managed to hurt Wei Jing.
Wei Jing shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.
Jiang Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief, but she treated the wound much more gently than before.
As she expected, Wei Jing's injuries had healed considerably, and the traces of poisoning had faded, with only a tiny bit of toxin remaining around the wound.
With this medicine applied again today, and only half a month of recuperation needed, I should be fully recovered.
After treating the wounds on my hands, the next step is my lower abdomen.
Jiang Mingwei looked down at his lower abdomen, then looked up at Wei Jing. Just as she was wondering how to speak, Wei Jing understood her intention.
He first unbuttoned his outer garment, revealing his muscular chest once again.
Now that they are both awake and their eyes are locked, how can they pretend nothing is wrong?
She removed the dregs of medicine from his abdomen, threw them away, and put in new ones. Jiang Mingwei then reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, tying them behind him.
Having been washed by the stream yesterday and now having applied so many herbs, Wei Jing exudes a pleasant herbal fragrance that is irresistible to others.
After tying it for a long time, Jiang Mingwei finally managed to tie the knot.
When they released Wei Jing, both of them were flushed, like boiled shrimp...
Jiang Mingwei quickly looked away and gazed at the sky outside, her heart filled with anticipation.
We eagerly await the arrival of the big sister, hoping she will come to find them, otherwise they might really starve or die of boredom in this place.
Rather than staying in the cave, she would rather go home and argue with Zhou Shi and Lu Yun; that would be much happier than staying here.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any impression of those assassins?"
Suddenly, Wei Jing asked in a low voice.
Jiang Mingwei was startled, then came to her senses and saw him staring intently at her.
Jiang Mingwei was extremely perceptive and immediately realized that the group of men in black were probably not simple people, and that Wei Jing probably wanted to confirm their identities.
Thinking back carefully to the time when he met that group of men in black, it wasn't even as long as the time he had confronted them.
But soon, she thought of a detail—
"I haven't paid much attention to them, but... I did think of something! The arrow on Amber's butt seems to have some blue stains on its fletching. I'm pretty sure it's blue, like it was dyed on."
"Because the fletching of that arrow was black and white, and although there was only a little bit of blue, it was still very clear. Does that count?"
Jiang Mingwei recounted what she had seen in detail, her tone firm, as if afraid that Wei Jing would think she was making things up.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Wei Jing was shocked, his pupils contracted, and his expression became extremely serious.
Even while sitting, he clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a cold and defiant air.
"This is very important information, so... they really are the Northern Sai people!"
"Northern Sai people?"
Jiang Mingwei tilted her head and muttered to herself.
She knew that Nanjing and Beisai had had friction and fighting at the border for many years, but Nanjing had always been stronger and thus had a slight advantage.
It's normal for the Northern Sai people to want to kill the Southern Jing people, but why did they specifically target Wei Jing?
To put it bluntly, they didn't even lay a hand on the current emperor or the most honored lady in the garden, but only attacked Wei Jing.
Why is that? What do they want to get from Wei Jing?
“That’s right, it’s the Northern Sai people! They like to dye the fletching of their arrows with different colors, and each tribe has its own unique way of doing it. Only they do this.”
"No wonder they wanted to attack me. If it was one of their people, then it's not surprising."
Wei Jing nodded and explained to Jiang Mingwei in a low voice.
But when he spoke of this, he lowered his eyes, concealing a clear trace of worry.
It's true that the people of the North like to paint their tail feathers, but in fact... among the people he knows, there are also those who like to paint their tail feathers.
And that person happened to prefer blue.
He was just a child at the time, had never been on the battlefield, and did not understand why this was necessary, so he asked.
The person smiled gently, reached out and stroked his head, then spoke softly.
"I wanted this arrow to shoot farther, so I painted it the color of the sky!"
It was none other than his highly respected elder brother, Wei Zhi.
A colored arrow, a man in black whose martial arts were completely different from those taught by his brother, a sudden assassination attempt...
Everything seemed strange, making Wei Jing realize with absolute certainty that the group of men in black hadn't encountered him and therefore wanted to kill him.
From the very beginning, their target was him!
What merits or abilities does he possess that make him so highly regarded and feared by this group, who even hide in the shadows and try to take action against him?
And who exactly wants to get rid of him as soon as possible?
At this moment, Wei Jing's mind was filled with countless thoughts...
Before we knew it, it got dark again outside.
Staying here, one can't tell what time it is; one can only rely on the sky outside to determine whether it's day or night.
In other words, Jiang Mingwei and Wei Jing will have to spend another day at the bottom of the cliff.
However, the royal gardens are so vast, the canyon below must be even larger. Even if they were searching for them, it would probably be difficult to find them...
"If the Great *** still hasn't been found by tomorrow, shall we go out and find a way out?"
Jiang Mingwei looked hopeful and turned to Wei Jing beside her, making a suggestion.
The two did not attempt to find a way out today because they knew that the canyon was fraught with danger. Wei Jing was not yet fully cured of the poison, and if they encountered any accidents, they might not survive.
It's better to stay here peacefully; perhaps we can still wait for rescue.
However, it's clear that waiting here isn't a good idea.
Since the big boss hasn't come looking for them yet, they need to find a way to save themselves!
"Okay." Wei Jing nodded.
Soon, it got completely dark outside.
Immediately afterwards, a wolf's howl ripped through the night.
Then came countless wolf howls, getting closer and closer to them...
Wei Jing looked up and saw pairs of wild wolves with glowing green eyes at the entrance of the cave.
His face was gloomy, and he was about to get up to find a way to fight back when Jiang Mingwei reached out and grabbed him, shaking her head at him with a calm expression.
Normally the most timid girl, she was sitting lazily on the ground, showing no intention of running away or being afraid.
"There's no need to run away; they can't get in."
Wei Jing was taken aback. "Why?"
Soon, he saw the alpha wolf baring its teeth and drooling as it took a step forward, its eyes fierce as it walked toward them... But after taking only a few steps in, it seemed to be attacked and quickly retreated, with the pack of wolves also retreating two steps outwards.
No matter how many times she sees this scene, Jiang Mingwei always finds it very interesting.
She couldn't help but laugh proudly, "Of course... because I'm a little genius!"
