Chapter 453 Other Travelers
He Jingheng recalled the scene when he was playing chess with Shang Ruoyi and couldn't help laughing: "It's the first time I've seen such an unconventional move in chess. I can't figure out where she will move next." They played three games in total, and he lost every time.
Knowing that he was talking about his sister, he said, "Ruoyi's chess moves are just like her personality. She doesn't play by the rules."
"Since your emperor is penniless, I think the matter of sending troops will be put on hold for the time being."
Jun Zeqian nodded, but his heart was very heavy.
What kind of master could have emptied the national treasury without anyone noticing and robbed the emperor's private treasury?
His martial arts skills must have reached the highest level so as not to alarm a single soldier.
And the timing was also very coincidental.
Just when they were about to send troops, the national treasury was robbed.
How could such a coincidence happen?
He Jingheng stood up and said softly, "It's getting late today, so I'll take my leave now. I'll come to your house to bother you another day."
Watching him leave, Jun Zeqian looked in the direction of Shang Ruoyi's yard.
Because of the wine, Shang Ruoyi slept very soundly. On the contrary, the King of the City was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night.
When he thought about his daughter having supernatural powers, he felt like he was dreaming.
His eyes fell on the portrait on the bedside, which showed an extremely beautiful woman who looked 70% similar to Shang Ruoyi.
"Rou'er." He said gently, "Are you in heaven blessing our daughter? She is actually a person with great supernatural powers."
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He asked the butler to bring two more jars of liquor. He didn't even use a cup and just drank from the jar. Having been at the border for many years, the only way to feel happy was to drink and eat meat with big gulps.
Finally, the butler came in when he heard no sound in the room. He found him sleeping under the portrait of the princess with a jar of wine in his arms. It was already daybreak.
After getting up, Shang Ruoyi felt refreshed and comfortable all over. She did a set of boxing in the yard.
Feeling a noise coming from not far away, she put away her palm and whispered, "I'm back."
"Crown Princess." Yunqi's figure walked out slowly.
Shang Ruoyi was about to speak when she smelled a faint smell of blood.
"You are hurt?"
"Cough cough cough." A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Yunqi's lips and his body swayed slightly. Shang Ruoyi took light lotus steps and came to his side in the blink of an eye. She put her hand on his pulse with a solemn expression.
"You are poisoned."
"I have already taken the antidote pill you gave me."
Shang Ruoyi shook her head. The detoxification pill did not work. The poison accumulated in his body and now all his internal organs were affected. If he was not treated, his life would be in danger.
"Somebody come!"
Two guards stepped forward: "Master."
"Bring him into the room."
Several people carried him to the side room. At this time, Yunqi had fallen into a coma. His eyebrows and eyes were dark blue, and his whole body was shrouded in death.
"Princess, can the commander be saved?"
Shang Ruoyi said firmly: "As long as I don't agree, even if the King of Hell comes, he can't snatch his life from me." She soaked the silver needle in the spiritual spring water. After a while, the silver needle seemed to be coated with a layer of golden substance, shining in the light.
She pressed her palm on his heart, and a trace of energy flowed through her palm into his body. A mass of black substance was eroding his internal organs. As the energy entered, the black substance seemed to sense the threat and continued to drill deeper into his internal organs. Shang Ruoyi exerted force with her palm, and more refined energy rushed towards his body.
Several guards stood behind her. Although they didn't know what the Crown Prince's Consort was doing, they did not make any noise to disturb her.
Feeling that the black substance was gradually decreasing, Yunqi's complexion gradually improved, but the remaining toxins needed to be excreted from the body by other means.
Shang Ruoyi withdrew her hand, picked up the silver needles, and fired dozens of them at once, accurately landing on the major acupuncture points on his body.
Using her internal force to stimulate the silver needle, she saw the silver needle trembling constantly. Shang Ruoyi looked at the silver needle intently, and when the silver needle changed color, she slapped it towards Yunqi's heart, and the silver needle instantly left the body. A mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth, and black blood kept flowing from the place where the needle was inserted. Such a bloody scene was so heartbreaking that even the Iron Feather Guards who had experienced life and death could not help but tremble.
After a while, the color of the blood gradually changed from black to red, and Shang Ruoyi took out a pill and put it into his mouth.
As soon as I took the pill, the bleeding from the needle holes miraculously stopped.
Upon seeing this, everyone gained a new understanding of her medical skills.
They knew that their master was an extraordinary warrior and a skilled doctor, but this could no longer be described as superb.
This is the pinnacle!
Even if the Medical Saint were alive, he wouldn't be as powerful as my master.
Yunqi slowly opened his eyes and his gaze fell on Shang Ruoyi. He quickly stood up and said, "Crown Princess."
"Lie down!" Shang Ruoyi whispered, "Although the poison has been cleared, it is not so easy to restore the vitality of the body." She said in a bad tone, "Are you a fool?"
what?
Seeing him and the guards stunned, she explained impatiently, "You are going to carry out a mission, not to die. I told you when I was secretly training you that those who fight to the death even though they know they can't win are not heroes, but fools. Nothing is more important than life. If you risk your life and property in order to spy on secrets, even if you know what the secret is, you will be doomed to fail in the northwest. Not only will you not be able to pass on the information, but you will also lose your life."
The shock on Yunqi's face became even more severe.
Shang Ruoyi glanced at them and said, "Do everything within your ability. Life is the most important."
She is the master, but deep down in her heart, she regards them more as comrades-in-arms, and she doesn't want anyone beside her to fall.
Yunqi stood up, then knelt on the ground with a plop, and several people behind him also knelt down.
"master."
"Okay." Shang Ruoyi whispered, "I just said you haven't recovered yet, why are you lying down?"
Yunqi stood up, took out a piece of paper from his bosom, and handed it to Shang Ruoyi: "Master, this is a letter that I intercepted, but I looked at it for a long time and didn't understand what was written in the letter."
Shang Ruoyi opened the letter and her pupils shrank sharply.
The hand holding the letter couldn't help but tremble a few times.
This, this is!
This was the code word they used to communicate in their previous life, and only a few of them knew it.
Could it be that besides myself, there are other people who have traveled through time?
Seeing that she looked extremely bad, Yunqi said worriedly: "Master, what happened?"
"Where did you intercept this letter?"
"I followed Jun Luoyun all the way. The two of them settled in a manor outside the southern border. She sent a pigeon to ask what to do next. This is the letter she sent back. I intercepted it along the way."
