Chapter 35: Fortunately, a little lady came
Ying Zheng gasped for breath, and there was a burning pain in his chest. Just before he died, the middle-aged man struck back and slapped him hard several times on the back. He had not been able to notice it before when he was at the critical moment of life and death, but now he realized that the pain was severe.
It hurt to breathe. Ying Zheng coughed twice, and a trace of blood foam appeared at the corner of his mouth. He reached out to wipe it away nonchalantly. His face was covered with the blood foam and broken flesh that had just been spattered on the middle-aged man's body. He felt extremely uncomfortable. However,
This was not the time for him to relax.
The voice of the immature girl who knocked on the door was still ringing at this moment, as if she sensed something strange, or she heard the middle-aged man's roar just now, and she was already suspicious. She patted the door to come in, and Ying Zheng heard it.
There was a sound of someone opening the door. Fortunately, it didn't seem like there was anyone else besides the girl. He breathed a sigh of relief, with a wolf-like light in his eyes, his chest heaving up and down, and he stared at the entrance of the small door.
Sitting on the ground, trying to regain his strength.
"Uncle Qiongxu?" The girl's voice got closer and closer, and gradually the footsteps could be heard. She seemed to be still searching, and she made sounds from time to time: "Hey, where have you been?"
Ying Zheng was sitting on the ground at this time. He heard the sound getting closer and closer. Although he only heard the voice of a girl, there was no guarantee that there were other adults. This middle-aged man was very skilled. He didn't know if he had any accomplices. He took advantage of him.
He had already exhausted all his strength to accidentally kill him. If another person showed up, even if he was of average skill, he would definitely not be able to handle it if he faced him head-on. At this time, the girl had already come in, and he had no idea what was going on outside.
Although he was familiar with it, he didn't dare to leave rashly. With some difficulty, he moved to the wall next to the door and leaned against it. While trying to adjust his breathing, he tried his best to quickly recover some of his strength, while quietly listening to the movements outside.
Not long after, the little girl's voice got closer and closer. She seemed to have discovered the hut here, and she made a sound in her mouth and walked over. Ying Zheng's whole body tensed up, his eyes gradually became cold, and he shook his head.
He tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand, which he had gotten from the dead Qiong Xu before. The blade did not look like it was made of bronze, but rather resembled the steel he had seen in his previous life. The blade was very cold and still...
Even without getting close, you could feel the murderous aura. It was a good sword. Now that Ying Zheng was holding it in his hand, he felt a little more confident. He held the sword hilt tighter and listened to the footsteps gradually.
As he got closer, he hid his body in the shadows behind the wall.
Previously, Yingzheng deliberately placed Qiong Xu's body right opposite the door. As long as he stood at the door, he would definitely be able to see the body. The girl was getting closer and closer. Yingzheng looked out from the shadows and saw this.
Ren Yue touched her chest, and there was a short sword hanging on her waist. She was a little lady! And it seemed that she was the only one at the moment. Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw Qiong Xu's body when she ran in, he immediately
He was so frightened that he let out a loud scream of "Ah", and subconsciously wanted to run towards the body to take a look. It was too late, but Ying Zheng jumped up with lightning speed without even looking at it.
The person in front of Qing Qing took advantage of her shock and lost her guard, and knocked the scabbard hard on her head.
There was a muffled "thud" sound. The little lady's screams suddenly stopped. She didn't even turn her head back, but fell softly to the ground with a "thud".
The blow just now used up all the strength of Ying Zheng, and all the energy he had finally accumulated was used up again. Now he knocked the little lady unconscious, and even he could only sit on the ground and gasp for air!
This is not a place where he can stay. Qiong Xu's unusual reaction after hearing Ying Zheng's words made Ying Zheng a little worried that Xia Ji was not the only one behind the scenes. The one who could really make Qiong Xu obey orders should be
There must be someone else. Otherwise, as Xia Ji is a major customer, it would be impossible for Qiong Xu to treat her with such contempt in both words and deeds. And if there is someone else behind this, this place will be very dangerous.
, Fortunately, the one he found right now was just a young lady, but if he stayed any longer, someone else might come...
The more he wanted to win the government, the more he felt that he couldn't rest. He sat for a while, took a few breaths, and then got up tremblingly. Fortunately, he had exercised well in the past few years. Now, although he was afraid and exhausted, he could rest for a while.
He was still able to stand up, thanks to his strong willpower. In addition, he took out the bronze ingots tied to his body, so he felt much lighter. He stood up and stumbled towards Qiong Xu's body.
He passed by, and his chest hurt with every step he took. It must be that his bones were broken by Qiong Xu's counterattack when he was about to die. Ying Zheng coughed twice, and a trace of blood foam came out from the corner of his mouth, and he endured the pain in his body.
, squatted down and rummaged through Qiong Xu’s things.
He was carrying a large package with him. He probably knew that Xianyang was heavily guarded after he was kidnapped, and was ready to escape at any time. Therefore, the package contained a lot of things, followed by gold and silver, with only two
The key to the nugget cake is that there are many large and small bottles and brocade boxes as big as a baby's fist. When he opened it, he saw that there were elixirs inside. Ying Zheng smelled it and felt refreshed by the fragrance of the medicine.
The pain in my chest is no longer so unbearable.
In addition to these things, there was also a change of clothes and something that looked like leather folded together. Ying Zheng shook it open and looked at it. There was something like a map drawn on it. Ying Zheng carefully identified it, but it was
The terrain is somewhat similar to the Qin Palace. There are even annotations on the locations of the tunnels. He snorted coldly, folded the map and stuffed it into the sloping collar of his clothes. He looked at other things in the package and found that there was nothing else.
After that, he put away the elixir bottle and other items, tied a knot again and carried it on his shoulder. He kicked the dead Qiong Xu again to make sure that he had not moved, and then sat down on the ground with difficulty again, covering his chest.
He laughed twice bitterly.
Although Ying Zheng had a map at this time, he didn't know where he was, so he didn't know how long it would take to return to the Qin Palace. He just felt a severe pain in his chest. He stretched out his hand and pressed it gently. Several places were dented, probably.
More than one or two ribs were broken. No wonder the pain was so unbearable. As soon as his hand touched the injured area, a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Ying Zheng's face was pale, but his eyes were cold and expressionless.
After touching his chest and abdomen and confirming that the bones were broken in seven or eight places, he put his hands down and thought of the elixirs and other items in Qiong Xu's bag. Anyway, there was no one outside at the moment, so he poured out these elixirs again.
I took it out and took it apart one by one to take a look.
The elixir bottles were divided into three colors: green, yellow and white, and they contained different things. Qiong Xu himself was probably afraid that he would use the wrong medicine, so he wrote the names of the medicines in seal characters on them. There were only two or three boxes, and they were both
I didn’t write my name. Ying Zheng had also learned writing from Nie Yuan in the past few years, so he recognized that there were things like Zhixue Powder and Ecstasy in the bottles. Among them, Zhixue Powder accounted for the most, accounting for five or six of the ten bottles.
One of them had the inscription "Liuhunsan" written on it, while the other one was called "Huangquan". The others looked like ordinary blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine bottles. Ying Zheng looked at them and threw them back.
Inside, several boxes were picked up.
Each box contains a pill. Each pill is fragrant. The pills are about the size of a finger. The pills are all transparent and light green. They look very pleasant. Ying Zheng frowned and pressed his chest.
, pinched one of the pills in his hand, and a wave of heartbreaking pain hit him. He picked up one of the pills and threw it into his mouth without hesitation.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse can only be known after trying it. In his current situation, he simply doesn't dare to delay any longer. If a young lady comes here, then someone else may come in. Although this young lady was knocked unconscious by him,
Ying Zheng didn't look like he was with this middle-aged man, otherwise he wouldn't have been knocking on the door for so long before finally pushing the door open. And if this little lady was with someone else, it wouldn't matter if she was with someone else.
Whoever is looking for Qiong Xu or this young lady may find him, and if others see Qiong Xu’s body on the ground, it will definitely be detrimental to him. And his chest injury is so serious that it is impossible to leave him.
If it's too far away, I'm afraid that I've just escaped from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's mouth again!
