Chapter 119 If we can't be friends, how about being my woman?
Gu Yu smiled and nodded: "That's right, I am the Gu Yu who killed Lian Jin in the royal palace."
"Why...why did you save me?"
Gu Yu said, "At first I didn't know who you were. But I could guess that someone must have failed to assassinate Zhao Mu, which is why those guards were searching everywhere."
Upon hearing this, Shanrou finally relaxed her guard and sighed, "I've heard about you and know that you had a conflict with Zhao Mu."
"That's right, so his enemy is my friend."
Shanrou coldly replied, "Since you know my identity, you should know that an assassin like me cannot have friends."
Gu Yu squatted down beside her and gently stroked her face: "If we can't be friends, how about being my woman?"
'
"you----"
Shan Rou was so angry she almost vomited blood.
She received rigorous training from a young age, which fostered a cold and ruthless personality, with only "hatred" in her heart.
Two characters.
Her sole purpose in life has always been revenge; she has no interest in romance or love. And what man has ever treated her with such intimacy and frivolity?
Gu Yu added, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have a younger sister—"
Shanrou was startled: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have a sister!"
"No? Then who is Zhao Zhi?"
Zhao Zhi is Shan Rou's younger sister; her real name is Shan Zhi.
When the entire Shan family was exterminated, the two sisters managed to escape. Shan Zhi was first raised by Zhao Zhengshu, a former servant of the Shan family, and was renamed Zhao Zhi.
She later ended up in the State of Zhao, where she was adopted by Zhao Ba, the owner of the Zhao Family Martial Arts School.
After mastering his skills, Zhao Zhi managed to infiltrate the Julu Marquis's mansion, where he trained singers and dancers and warriors for Zhao Mu, secretly gathered intelligence, and acted as an inside agent for his sister Shan Rou to assassinate Zhao Mu.
Shanrou was able to track Zhao Mu's whereabouts because she obtained the information from her younger sister.
Tonight, she was certain she would succeed.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Mu had two bodyguards. One of them risked his life to take a sword for Zhao Mu, while the other rushed up and held her tightly. Another guard took the opportunity to stab her.
If it weren't for her agility and ability to fight her way out of the encirclement, she would probably be a cold corpse by now.
Shanrou felt like she was about to break down.
Her and her sister's background is so secret that even Zhao Ba, who adopted her sister, is still unaware of it. How does this person know so much?
"If I tell Zhao Mu about your sister's background, do you think he will—"
Before Gu Yu could finish speaking, Shan Rou said urgently, "Don't hurt my sister. If you have a problem, come at me alone."
Gu Yu smiled and said, "Miss Shanrou, when you ask someone for a favor, you have to act like one."
"you----"
Shanrou gritted her teeth.
He tried his best to calm himself down and said in a calm tone, "Please, I'm begging you, don't hurt my sister."
Gu Yu nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it. I can keep it a secret, but you have to listen to me."
""
Shanrou hesitated for a moment, then steeled her heart and said, "Once I'm healed, you can do whatever you want. But there's one thing: you can't stop me from taking revenge, and you can't reveal my sister's background to anyone."
The implication was that even if he wanted her body, she wouldn't refuse.
Gu Yu laughed and said, "You misunderstood me. It would be difficult for you two sisters to kill Zhao Mu on your own. I can help you, or rather, we can join forces."
Shanrou, however, stubbornly declared, "I must kill him with my own hands."
Gu Yu said, "This is simple, but you can't act alone. Your injuries are severe, so don't think about anything right now, just focus on recovering. Zhao Mu will definitely kill you, but now is not the time."
Shanrou couldn't help but ask, "I'm avenging my family, but what about you? Why did you kill Zhao Mu?"
"Two tigers cannot share one mountain. Even if I don't kill him, he will definitely find a way to get rid of me. You should understand this."
Shanrou nodded: "You're right. Once you gain the King's favor, he will have to get rid of you."
"That's right! So, don't act rashly; it will only make that guy more wary."
Shanrou thought for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, I'll trust you this once."
"That's good. Now, let me check your injuries."
Upon hearing this, Shanrou blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for her, and quickly said, "No, no."
Because her wound was on her left rib, near her left chest.
"What time is it? Why are you still worrying about these things? Your injuries are clearly serious. If the pathogenic wind has penetrated to the bone, even a god couldn't save you. What's the point of talking about revenge?"
Hearing this, Shanrou finally sighed and said with a wry smile, "Even if you want to heal my injuries, you have to lift the restrictions on me first, right?"
At that time, the concept of acupoint striking did not exist in the martial arts world, but it did exist; it was just called by a different name, and many people were used to calling it a restriction.
Gu Yu raised his finger and released her pressure points.
Then they asked, "Did you bring any wound medicine?"
Shanrou shook her head: "For the sake of convenience, I left all my things at the inn and only brought a sword."
"Luckily, I have it on me."
Gu Yu smiled and took out a small ceramic bottle.
"Thank you!" Shanrou said sincerely.
"You're welcome. Alright, now I need to examine your injuries first."
"Um."
Shanrou responded, closed her eyes slightly, and tried her best to clear her mind of all distractions.
"I'm sorry."
Gu Yu tore open her black outfit through the wound.
Upon tearing it open, it was discovered that several layers of cloth were tightly wrapped inside, no wonder it was said that the woman's features were almost invisible, as she was forcibly restrained.
"This cloth is stained with blood and can't be used."
Shanrou's face flushed slightly, and she remained silent.
Silence means consent.
So, Gu Yu gently untied the few loops of cloth.
This was quite a surprise; a pair of enormous creatures suddenly appeared, bouncing and leaping about.
Shanrou bit her lip tightly, her heart pounding.
After freeing her from her restraints, Gu Yu leaned closer to examine her injuries carefully and frowned, saying, "The wounds are deep; they've probably damaged her internal organs."
Shanrou sighed; it seemed she could sense it herself.
Gu Yu went to get some wine, first washing her wounds, then applying wound medicine, and then said, "Sit cross-legged, I will use my true energy to heal your wounds and expel the poisonous blood."
Upon hearing this, Shanrou was greatly surprised: "You mean, the opponent's sword was poisoned?"
"Miss Shanrou, whether it's an iron sword or a bronze sword, they are inherently poisonous. If not treated properly, they can cause the wound to fester, become infected, and even endanger your life."
People nowadays don't understand tetanus, so this explanation is the simplest and clearest.
"So that's how it is."
"Alright, stop thinking nonsense. I'm going to circulate my internal energy now."
The two sat facing each other, palms touching, and Gu Yu began to use his inner energy to heal Shan Rou's injuries.
About an hour later, Gu Yu withdrew his true energy and said, "Alright, you're out of danger for now. I'll come back to check on you tomorrow. If you're hungry, there's some dry food in the kitchen."
Shanrou nodded: "Yes, thank you."
