Chu Qingzhi’s face was pale. As she played the tune, the spiritual power in her body decreased. In the end, it was completely exhausted. The flute in her hand dissipated and she knelt on one knee.
As the tune stopped, the wild beasts recovered and ran back. The canyon gradually quietened down, leaving only the thick smell of blood.
After a while, Chu Qingzhi regained some strength and turned to look at Tang Jinghong.
Tang Jinghong was unconscious, leaning against the tree trunk. His face was pale, and his lips were purple.
“General!” Shen Yufeng crawled over in fear. “Miss Chu, you must save General.”
“Of course I’ll save him.” Chu Qingzhi checked Tang Jinghong’s pulse and immediately frowned. This poison was too troublesome.
She turned her face to Yuan Hongjun, thinking to herself that he should have medicine on him, so she walked over.
She found five bottles of medicine on Yuan Hongjun’s body. Four were poisons and one was an antidote.
She frowned and thought for a moment. Then, she poured out all four poisons, ground them into powder, and mixed them again. She mixed them into a poison that could temporarily suppress the poison in Tang Jinghong and the others’ bodies. She prepared to fight poison with poison.
She fed the medicine to Tang Jinghong and Yuan Hongjun. The other three soldiers and Gui Yuzhou were already dead.
Shen Yufeng sat against the tree behind Tang Jinghong and looked at the dead soldiers. His eyes suddenly revealed scary ferociousness.
He got up and staggered towards the men in black.
He checked them one by one. When he saw that there were still survivors, he stabbed them in the heart and made sure they died.
Chu Qingzhi glanced at him and didn’t say anything. She quietly waited for Tang Jinghong to wake up.
The symptoms of poisoning on Tang Jinghong’s face slowly faded. His long eyelashes fluttered and he opened his eyes.
Chu Qingzhi’s eyes lit up when she saw him wake up. “Jinghong.”
Tang Jinghong pulled Chu Qingzhi into his arms with lingering fear. “Qingzhi.”
Chu Qingzhi relaxed in Tang Jinghong’s arms and smiled. “Jinghong, I’ve suppressed the poison in your body for the time being. You’re fine.”
Tang Jinghong didn’t know what to say. If not for Qingzhi, they would definitely have been wiped out today. “Qingzhi, are you injured?”
Chu Qingzhi said softly, “I’m fine.”
Tang Jinghong let go of Chu Qingzhi. “Let’s go and see who they are.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded.
Tang Jinghong stood up with Chu Qingzhi’s help and went to check the soldiers first.
He squatted down and reached out to wipe the blood off the dead soldiers’ faces, his heart aching. “I will avenge you!”
On the other side, Yuan Hongjun fell to the ground beside Gui Yuzhou. His eyes were wet. “I promised to bring you to eat meat. I didn’t expect you to die here. I’m sorry. I’ve harmed you.”
Tang Jinghong patted Yuan Hongjun’s shoulder. “It’s not your fault. It’s those people’s fault!”
Yuan Hongjun looked up with red eyes. The young man was like an injured little cub. “Brother Tang, I must bring the culprit to justice!”
Tang Jinghong’s voice was cold. “Let’s go together.”
The three of them walked towards the leader of the men in black.
When they got closer, Chu Qingzhi pulled off the man’s mask. “Who is he?”
Tang Jinghong searched the man’s body and took out a token from his clothes. He looked at it. “He is Xia Shuqiang, a level-A assassin under Wan Zhilin. He’s violent by nature and especially likes to torture people.”
Chu Qingzhi didn’t like to torture people. It was too cruel. “Then since he’s dead, it can be considered revenge for the people he tortured.”
“Yes.” Tang Jinghong looked at Shen Yufeng, who was stabbing the dead assassins. “Yufeng, go and inform An Changfeng and get him to bring troops over to clean up this place.”
“Yes, General.” Shen Yufeng nodded. Although he was still very angry and sad, he immediately went to carry out Tang Jinghong’s orders.
Chu Qingzhi looked at the broken arrow on Tang Jinghong’s back.
Without medicine now, she didn’t dare to pull out the arrow. If he lost too much blood, Tang Jinghong would die. “Jinghong, after your injuries are treated, we’ll go to the capital.”
Tang Jinghong was slightly puzzled. “Why are we going to the capital?”
A sharp glint flashed across Chu Qingzhi’s eyes. “Help the emperor pray for rain!”
The Lord of the Northern Border had hurt Tang Jinghong. She wouldn’t let this matter rest just like that. Didn’t the Lord of the Northern Border want to use the drought to achieve his plan? She would definitely not let him have his way!
Tang Jinghong was shocked. He stared at Chu Qingzhi as if he had discovered something new. “Qingzhi, you know how to pray for rain?”
Chu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows. “I can try.”
Tang Jinghong said quickly, “Qingzhi, let’s go to An Changfeng’s camp to treat the wounds.”
“Okay.”
Tang Jinghong waved at Yuan Hongjun. “Hongjun, let’s go.” He couldn’t leave Yuan Hongjun here alone. What if there were more assassins?
Yuan Hongjun looked at the mess and corpses all over the canyon. He walked over to meet Tang Jinghong and left together.
Their horses were shot and killed, and they could only walk.
If they rode a horse for two hours, they would be able to reach the camp from the canyon. If they walked, it would take at least half a day.
However, the few of them were very lucky. After walking out of the canyon, they saw a county city in the distance.
They changed directions and headed towards the county.
After entering the county city, they went straight to the medical center.
The people in the medical center were frightened when they saw that they were covered in blood. However, they knew that these were people with extraordinary status and didn’t dare to be negligent.
Chu Qingzhi helped Tang Jinghong to sit on the bed in the medical center. “I’ll treat your wound immediately. It’s a little painful. Bear with it.”
Tang Jinghong’s lips were pale and he was covered in cold sweat. “Bring it on.”
Chu Qingzhi reached out to untie Tang Jinghong’s belt, but in the next second, her hand was pressed down. Tang Jinghong coughed to hide his embarrassment. “Qingzhi, I’ll do it myself.”
Chu Qingzhi couldn’t help but chuckle. “Okay.”
Tang Jinghong endured the pain in his back and slowly unbuttoned his clothes.
His skin was a healthy wheat color. His chest muscles and abdominal muscles were distinct and looked very beautiful.
However, there were many hideous scars on his chest and back. There were knife wounds and arrow wounds. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot.
At this moment, there was an arrow stuck in his back. The flesh around it was lacerated and blood kept oozing out.
Tang Jinghong felt very uncomfortable. This was the first time he had taken off his clothes in front of a woman. Although it was to treat his wound, he was really embarrassed and his body could not help but tense up.
Chu Qingzhi admired Tang Jinghong’s good body and then moved behind him.
She pressed a hand on his back and injected some of her spiritual power into Tang Jinghong’s body, condensing it on the arrow head. After the spiritual power wrapped around the arrow, she gently patted Tang Jinghong’s back. The arrow was gently forced out of his body and fell to the ground.
Tang Jinghong grunted in pain.
Chu Qingzhi hurriedly focused her spiritual energy on the wound to let it scab over quicker.
However, the spiritual power she recovered was limited and could only help Tang Jinghong recover half of his wound.
Then, she bandaged Tang Jinghong’s wound. During this period, they inevitably touched each other’s skin. The innocent general did not dare to look up, and his handsome face was slightly red..
