Chapter 156: Saving A Jing
Chapter 156: Saving A Jing
At this moment, A Jing was already dying, his face was as pale as paper, as if all his vitality had been taken away. Feng San threw herself in front of Yun Yuxi anxiously, her eyes red, tears pouring out like a broken dam: "Please, sister-in-law, you must save A Jing! It's all because of me that A Jing was seriously injured..." Before she finished speaking, she was already crying, and the huge tears rolled down her cheeks, which made everyone feel pity. Everyone present saw this scene, and they all felt a burst of pain in their hearts.
Yun Yuxi gently brushed away Feng San's hands that were tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, and said in a firm but helpless tone: "Go wash up first and have a good rest. As for Ajing, I will do my best to rescue him, but you must also be prepared for the worst. After all, I am not an omnipotent immortal." After that, she directed everyone in an orderly manner to carefully carry Ajing into the tent.
Ling Yi, exhausted physically and mentally, began to arrange for the imperial doctors to carefully check all kinds of herbs and organize them to diagnose and treat the sick people. Yue Lan waited silently outside the tent, like a peaceful sculpture. Jing Zhichu, holding back his anger, dragged Feng San to the side, and scolded him harshly: "Old Third, you are really getting more and more disappointing! Such a trivial matter can make you so embarrassed!"
Feng San looked at the strange man in middle-aged clothes in front of him with astonishment. He was a little dazed for a moment and muttered to himself: "Who are you? Why does it sound so familiar, like my second brother's voice..." Suddenly, he realized that this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man was his sworn brother - Jing Zichu! Thinking of this, Feng San's grievances instantly doubled, and his already red eyes became moist.
"Second brother! Sister-in-law will definitely be able to rescue Ajing, right? She can, right? Second brother, sister-in-law...you must save Ajing! It's all my fault for being too careless. I underestimated the enemy and was so complacent. If it weren't for my fault, Ajing wouldn't have been injured!" As soon as he finished speaking, Feng San hugged his head tightly and slowly squatted down. He looked so heartbroken, as pitiful and helpless as a child who had lost his most beloved candy.
"As a tall and strong man, you are crying and wailing here. How disgraceful! Look at how miserable you are now. You are just like those beggars on the street. If Uncle Feng saw you in such a miserable state, I'm afraid he would really want to teach you a lesson!" When Jing Zichu saw this, his anger burst out instantly and he scolded him mercilessly.
After hearing what Jing Zichu said, Feng San suddenly raised his head, looked at him with tears on his face, and asked anxiously: "Second brother, what you said just now means that my sister-in-law really has a way to cure Ajing?" Seeing this, Jing Zichu glanced at Feng San impatiently, but finally nodded reluctantly to indicate his agreement.
After receiving the affirmative answer, Feng San felt relieved, and immediately showed an ecstatic look on his face, and vowed: "Don't worry, second brother, I will go to wash and tidy up my appearance. When Jing wakes up later, I will definitely express my deep gratitude to my sister-in-law in person!" After that, he disappeared as quickly as if his feet were greased. Jing Zichu, who stayed where he was, could only look at Feng San's back, shaking his head and sighing helplessly.
Inside the tent, the faint candlelight flickered, illuminating Yun Yuxi's extremely solemn face. She concentrated on wiping the shocking wound on A Jing's body, and every movement seemed particularly gentle and cautious, as if she was afraid of causing more pain to the injured. Then, she carefully applied the ointment on the wound and sutured it with exquisite skills. Time passed by minute by minute, and after a long half an hour, Yun Yuxi slowly stood up and walked out of the tent with heavy steps. At this moment, her face was full of fatigue, as if all the strength had been drained from her body, but she still reminded Yuelan: "Yuelan, you have worked so hard during this period. Be sure to pay attention to whether Ajing has fever symptoms, and stay alert at all times. As long as he can survive today, Ajing will be out of danger. I'll go wash up and take a short rest first. If you see Lingyi and the others, please tell them to take a break as well. After all, everyone is exhausted from the long journey." After that, Yun Yuxi walked towards another tent not far away.
In the distance, Jing Zichu, who had been silent all the time, quietly came to the front of the tent and silently guarded it. His eyes were firm and steady, like an indestructible fortress, guarding this peaceful place.
In fact, Yun Yuxi had not had enough rest for half a month. She had originally planned to relax after taking a bath and enjoy a rare quiet time, but her body fell into a deep sleep involuntarily, as if being pulled by an invisible force. At this moment, all the pressure and tension seemed to gradually dissipate with the deep sleep.
Fortunately, all the herbs needed are ready, Feng San has also properly arranged for food and grass assistance, and Ling Yi has carefully arranged and sent the brothers from the Rebirth Building to meet them. All these measures have finally settled Yun Yuxi's heart, which has always been hanging high. She knows that she only needs to wait patiently, and she will usher in the dawn of victory.
Yan Wuque, who was far away in Kyoto, received the news from the secret guards and finally felt relieved.
"You mean, the man in black who intercepted the medicinal herbs had a thunderbolt bead in his hand. Have you found out which force he belongs to?" Yan Wuque asked in a cold voice.
"Master, we haven't found out which force it is, but the news that came back is that when those men in black were caught, they all committed suicide by taking poison, and no one survived. The Thunderbolt Pearl is an item controlled by the court, so this matter is probably related to the officials in Kyoto."
In the basement of Luo Mansion in Kyoto, the leader of the men in black was kneeling on the ground. Prime Minister Luo looked at the leader with a cold face and said, "This time, you didn't destroy the medicinal materials, and you lost so many soldiers. You deserve to be punished." The sharp tone made the men in black shiver.
"Grandfather, please don't be angry. This is a trivial matter. We must wipe out the evidence as soon as possible. Now that the Thunderbolt Pearl has been exposed, I'm afraid my good uncle will find out about it soon. So, please replace the lost Thunderbolt Pearl as soon as possible." No one expected that the always foolish Third Prince would appear in the basement of the Luo Mansion.
