Chapter 64: The Man in Black Is Dead!(1/2)
The sky turns white, the sun rises slowly, and the golden light shines directly through the hole.
Xuruoxue rubbed her eyes, took a deep breath and prepared to stand up.
Go suddenly found himself leaning in Shen Chuhan's arms.
"Brother Six..." Shen Chuhan was still awake at this time.
Xuruoxue carefully moved his hand away from her body.
When she moved, Shen Chuhan felt the movement and opened his eyes very vigilantly.
"Are you awake?" Shen Chuhan saw the person in front of him clearly, and his sharp eyes instantly converged.
Xuruoxue nodded, slightly curved the corners of her mouth, lowered her head and left his embrace.
When Shen Chuhan saw her bowing her head shyly, he was stunned for a moment.
"Brother Six, what are you looking at?" Seeing that Shen Chuhan had not moved yet, Xuruoxue stretched out her hand and his eyes swayed.
"It's okay." Shen Chuhan coughed lightly, then began to arrange his clothes and stood up slowly.
Seeing this, Xuruoxue quickly helped him out of the cave.
The two of them looked at the high cliff, and neither of them spoke for a while.
Shen Chuhan visually measured the distance. It would be a bit difficult to jump directly up from the cliff.
If you are unscathed and alone, you still have a chance to try.
Now that he is injured, and there is Xuruoxue, he may have some difficulties.
On the cliff.
"Young Master, there are blood stains here!" Ling Shuang dragged her arm and pointed at the trees near the cliff.
At this time, a group of officers and soldiers on the cliff were looking for Shen Chuhan and Xuruoxue. The leader was Shen Chuyan, followed by Ling Shuang who was guiding them.
Ling Shuang returned to the mansion yesterday and hurried to Shen Zong for help.
Shen Chuyan happened to be there, so he immediately led the officers and soldiers to the outside of the city.
He and his men had been searching all night, but could not find the whereabouts of Shen Chuhan and the other two.
However, Shen Chuyan followed the marks of the horse's hooves and found a bandit's den. From the bandit's den, he learned that five people asked them to help arrest the person yesterday. They saw the person falling off the cliff and then disappeared.
Shen Chuhan easily led his men to level the stronghold.
Then he started looking for the person on the cliff where the bandits mentioned.
Seeing some blood stains on the ground, Shen Chuyan raised his head and looked around and said, "Look around carefully to see if there are any other clues."
Seeing the dried blood stains in the wind, Shen Chuyan's heart tightened involuntarily.
Was Xuruoxue injured?
He had already learned from Ling Shuang that Shen Chuhan was injured, but he didn't know how Xuruoxue was doing now. Where could the two seriously injured people go?
The cliff is so steep now that the chances of surviving a fall are slim.
But if you want to see a person alive or a corpse dead, you have to follow the clues before sending people to search.
Shen Chuyan searched distractedly, and suddenly noticed a sword mark on a cliff.
A bad premonition arose in his heart, and he immediately called someone over: "Prepare the rope and go down from here!"
After hearing this, the people behind him immediately took out the ropes prepared in advance and began to slowly slide down the cliff in an orderly manner.
Shen Chuhan was a martial arts practitioner with extraordinary eyesight. Just as he and Xuruoxue were discussing how to go up, they suddenly saw several figures flashing on the cliff.
"Don't say anything yet!" Shen Chuhan said cautiously.
Xuruoxue looked puzzled and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
"There's someone." Shen Chuhan didn't have time to explain, so he grabbed Xuruoxue's hand and walked around the cave, walked to the grass not far away and hid.
"Could it be that Ling Shuang is looking for someone to save us?" Xuruoxue guessed.
Shen Chuhan shook his head: "Now I don't know whether the person coming is an enemy or a friend, so it's better to be cautious."
Hearing this, Xuruoxue thought it made sense, nodded and hid in the deep grass next to Shen Chuhan.
"There are footprints here!" the person coming down from the cliff exclaimed.
Xuruoxue suddenly became nervous. She had been hiding in a hurry and had no time to deal with the traces they left.
For a moment, Xuruoxue's breathing became heavier, fearing that the enemy would come and she and Shen Chuhan would be unable to fly.
Shen Chuhan noticed Xuruoxue's tense body and quickly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xuruoxue felt a touch of warmth on her cold fingertips and nodded gently.
The person who came felt the footsteps getting closer and closer to them.
Just when Shen Chuhan was about to defeat the enemy with one move, he suddenly relaxed: "It's one of our own."
"Ah?" Before Xu Ruoxue could react, Shen Chuhan led her out of the grass.
The visitor looked at the two of them with surprise on his face: "Young Master Sixth, Miss, it's great that you are all right!"
Then he immediately sent a signal to the people on the cliff.
Xuruoxue followed Shen Chuhan and asked curiously: "How do you know they are not enemies?"
"Their clothes are unique to the General's Mansion." Shen Chuhan said unhurriedly.
"Is this a government soldier?" Xu Ruoxue couldn't help but ask as she looked at the people dressed as officers and soldiers.
"No." Shen Chuhan replied calmly, "He is a soldier and a close associate of the General's Mansion."
Xuruoxue nodded thoughtfully.
Soon, Xuruoxue and Shen Chuhan returned to stable ground with the help of everyone.
"Ruoxue, are you okay?" Shen Chuyan saw Xuruoxue step forward and looked her up and down carefully.
Xuruoxue looked at the eldest brother in front of her and immediately raised a smile: "I'm fine, but Brother Six was seriously injured."
Only then did Shen Chuyan take a closer look at Shen Chuhan, who was pale and his shoulders were still bandaged with white gauze.
"How are you now?" Shen Chuyan glanced at Shen Chuhan and asked with concern.
Shen Chuhan said nonchalantly: "It's okay for now."
Shen Chuyan's eyes returned to Xuruoxue again, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay. The General's Mansion is in chaos right now."
When Xuruoxue heard this, she immediately felt guilty: "It's all my fault for making everyone worry."
"As long as you're okay, I'll take you back home right now." Shen Chuyan immediately gathered people and got a carriage to take the two of them back home.
On the way back home, suddenly a servant came to report.
"Young Master, we found five corpses in the bushes to the east!"
"Five corpses?" Xuruoxue also heard this in the carriage, and suddenly seemed to think of something.
"What's going on?" Shen Chuyan asked immediately after hearing Xuruoxue's voice.
Xuruoxue began to ask the person: "Do they have any characteristics?"
"The whole body is covered in ulcers, and the appearance cannot be seen clearly."
"It's them!" Xuruoxue immediately knew who they were, "They want to kill me!"
When Shen Chuyan heard this, he immediately asked someone to take the body back to the general's mansion.
"Wait a minute." Xu Ruoxue immediately stopped after hearing Shen Chuyan's order.
"What's wrong?" Shen Chuyan turned around and looked at Xuruoxue on the carriage and asked.
"Those who move corpses must remember not to touch their bodies to avoid being contaminated with toxins." Xuruoxue warned in a low voice.
"Okay." Shen Chuyan didn't ask any more questions and immediately gave the order.
In the carriage, Shen Chuhan was half-leaning against the wall of the carriage, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
Seeing Xuruoxue returning to the carriage, she slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Did you poison me?"
"Yes." Xuruoxue nodded calmly.
Shen Chuhan didn't speak. Xu Ruoxue was a little confused as to what he meant and asked cautiously: "Is there any problem?"
"Ahem..." Shen Chuhan coughed twice and said slowly, "The attack has been delayed."
Xuruoxue was stunned, thinking that Shen Chuhan would say that she was too cruel.
Unexpectedly, after talking for a long time, he actually said that the onset of the poison has slowed down.
"It's not my fault!" Xuruoxue said immediately unconvinced.
It can be said that her martial arts skills are not good and her writing is not good, how can you question her pharmaceutical level!
"This is because they are so well-armed that the medicinal powder penetrates into the body very quickly from the skin around the eyes!" Xuruoxue said angrily.
"That's it!" Shen Chuhan looked at her slowly.
