Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

The competition in the Eight Academy Palaces will begin in three days, so the schedule cannot be delayed any longer. The two parties met and discussed it, and decided that Jiang Yichun and Lin Xufei would jointly escort the academy delegation to Xuanlang City early the next morning. As for the injured, they would be escorted to Xuanlang City. Stay in Zhoucheng to recuperate first.

At this time, no one could find any trace of Qin Kaichang, so they could only leave some people to continue searching. In this way, the number of twenty people in the delegation increased to eighteen.

Seeing the worried look on his second brother's face, Bai Ruozhu patted his shoulder and said, "Maybe there will be news about Qin Kaichang tonight."

Bai Zepei said nothing. He thought for a moment before nodding, "At least there's no bad news yet."

Bai Ruozhu sighed quietly. She was not very optimistic about whether Qin Kaichang was alive, but thinking about Guizhi, she felt uncomfortable. That girl Guizhi's love life was really bumpy.

The people sent out searched for a long time, but no clues were found. The person who lured Jian Qi away only carried the scarecrow, which meant that someone else had captured Qin Kaichang, but why should he be captured?

After having a banquet with Lin Xufei and the others, Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun went back to the room to discuss a few words. Both of them felt that they had no clue. If Qin Kaichang caught the other party stealing Bai Zepei's clothes, then just knock him out. There’s no need to go through so much trouble to take it away, right? If he discovered some secret, wouldn't it be safer to kill him and silence him? Unless he is captured and used as a hostage, will there be any use later?

But Qin Kaichang is only a civilian. If he were to be used as a hostage, Shan Youshen would be more suitable, right?

"Forget it, let me go and see the captured assassin." Bai Ruozhu stood up and said. She heard Jiang Yichun say before that the assassin did not become stupid like other assassins, and it seemed that he was not affected by the soul-minding spell.

Jiang Yichun hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't want Bai Ruozhu to go there.

Bai Ruozhu raised her eyebrows, "Why, it's not convenient for me to take a look? I caught the person, and now he's poisoned by me." Only she can cure the poison in her little fur ball. .

Jiang Yichun raised his hand and put his arm around her shoulders, saying, "It's not inconvenient, it's just that I gave him a punishment. I'm afraid I'll scare you."

Bai Ruozhu said unconvinced: "I'm not a weak young lady, what should I be afraid of?"

As a result, after Bai Ruozhu went to the dungeon, she realized that what she had thought before was too simple.

The man whose face was covered with burn scars was chained to the torture rack, with bloody whip wounds all over his body, and two scars on his belly that were burned by fire. These were nothing. The most terrifying thing was that there were two iron hooks hanging down. Come down and pass through his lute bone!

When Bai Ruozhu watched "The Swordsman" in her previous life, Ren Woxing was penetrated by the pipa bone in this way, but she knew that it was two different feelings to face it in real life. Even she shivered with fright and felt that her body was tingling. 's connected.

And the assassin's arms were tied to the rack, but his hands hung down weakly. They were covered with blood, and some of them solidified and turned black and red.

When she saw the torture instruments placed nearby, she knew that this man's hand must have been caught by the bamboo board.

Jiang Yichun glanced at Bai Ruozhu nervously and explained: "He knows the bone shrinking skill. If he doesn't hook the pipa bone, he can easily shrink his bones and escape."

Bai Ruozhu nodded. She was just a little scared, but she didn't think their torture was too bloody. If she was killed by that man in a sneak attack, who would pity her?

"Did you ask anything? Did I use the medicine?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Jiang Yichun shook his head, "I've tried it all. This man is very stubborn, has strong willpower, and has received special training."

The damp rotting smell and the strong smell of blood in the dungeon made her a little nauseous. Seeing that the man was still unconscious, she had to say: "Get out first."

Jiang Yichun saw that she was uncomfortable, so he grabbed her waist and used Qinggong to lead her out of the dungeon quickly.

After the two people left, the man on the torture rack still lowered his head, but his eyes opened slightly, and a strange light flashed inside.

…

Early the next morning, the team organized and set off. Many of the wounded were left behind, but Wu Bai did not stay. Because the assassin with burn scars on his face appeared, neither Jiang Yichun nor Bai Ruozhu dared to leave Wu Bai behind. Fortunately, he is in good health and should be able to survive a day's carriage ride.

In order to take better care of Wu Bai on the road, she asked someone to lift Wu Bai into her and Wu Ying's carriage, which suddenly became much more crowded.

Wu Bai was lying in the car and saw that Xiao Dengdeng couldn't crawl away even if he wanted to. He said apologetically: "Ruozhu, I have caused trouble to you."

"What are you talking about? You and Wu Ying are our friends. Do we need to be so polite between friends?" Bai Ruozhu said and hugged Deng Deng back to her lap. She was afraid that Deng Deng would naughtily touch Wu Bai's wound.

Wu Bai's eyes sparkled, "Yes, we are friends."

Wu Ying also laughed and said, "Brother, don't think too much about it. Take a sleep and recover. When you get better, why don't you just invite Ruozhu and Mr. Jiang to have a good meal at the best restaurant in Jiangnan?"

"How can one meal be enough? You have to treat yourself to at least three meals." Wu Bai laughed, but he pulled the wound on his stomach. He took two breaths of air-conditioning in pain, and settled down to have a good rest.

At noon, the whole team stopped to rest. Everyone took dry food and water and had a simple lunch. Because of these major events, everyone was in a low mood. Even Shan Youshen, who liked to find faults, did not dare to say anything more.

By the way, he had taken Bai Ruozhu's medicine in the past two days, and his health had improved, and his throat had also improved. Even though he was unhappy with Bai Ruozhu, he was too embarrassed to say anything in public.

Bai Ruozhu could just eat some dry food by herself, but poor little Dedeng could only chew dry steamed buns.

She accompanied little Dengdeng to eat one by one for a while. The little guy was very happy, and his giggles brought a bit of life to the dull atmosphere around him. Many people couldn't help but look at Dengdeng, and their mood improved a little.

At this time, there was a coughing sound, and Bai Ruozhu turned around quickly. It was the second brother who was coughing.

Her expression changed. The second brother's body had not recovered. The journey had been hard, and such a dangerous thing happened. In addition, Qin Kaichang disappeared. The second brother was afraid that he had something on his mind and could not rest well.

"Second brother, let me check your pulse." Bai Ruozhu went over and grabbed the second brother's wrist, and quickly confirmed her guess. Sure enough, the second brother was overthinking, and his physical condition became worse due to the hard work on the road. .

"Did you drink all the medicine last night?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Bai Zepei's eyes flashed slightly, "Drink."

"Are you in a bad mood, so you put it aside without drinking, or didn't drink all the wine?" Bai Ruozhu asked, staring at him fiercely.

Bai Zepei touched his nose awkwardly, "I drank half of it and accidentally spilled the rest..."

Bai Ruozhu was really angry this time. She raised her hand and gave him a hard blow, hitting him on the head with a thud.
