Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 338 Healing
Guard Li nodded slightly, and doubts immediately arose in his mind again.

The people in charge of the team are all dead, so what were they thinking?

All the people in charge were mobilized, including their leader. Could it be that, like the core members of their team, their leader died right away?

How could a team that has existed for years without being discovered or dealt with act so recklessly?
Were they trying to wipe out the core members of their team, only to be dealt with by Guard Liu instead? Or was someone deliberately luring them here, intending to kill them all?
Everything before them seemed shrouded in a thick fog, making things even more complicated. For the time being, Guard Li was unable to see through the relationship between the two groups.

"Are all the people you know here?" Guard Li asked the leader again.

Upon hearing this, the leader nodded firmly and replied, "They're all here."

Actually, Guard Li wanted to ask the leader again to find out how strong their group was, but when he remembered that Guard Liu had already fought with them, he didn't ask any more questions.

After questioning them, Guard Li walked over to Guard Liu. The two exchanged a few words and then, as if by unspoken agreement, tied up the four teammates who were lying on the ground, one by one, and then bound the four of them together.

The ropes binding the four men could not have been untied by themselves without some special technique.

After a series of actions, he suddenly realized that Jiang Xian was nowhere to be seen.

Li, the bodyguard, looked around and found Jiang Xian standing in front of the thug who only had one arm left.

Seeing this, he suddenly panicked and strode quickly to Jiang Xian's side.

Jiang Xian naturally noticed that there was another person beside her. As the guard Li approached, she saw him out of the corner of her eye.

Jiang Xian naturally wouldn't let anyone get close. After she learned that the person approaching her was Guard Li, she stopped paying attention and continued to do her own thing with peace of mind.

Li, the guard, was puzzled as he watched her carefully applying ointments to the gruesome wound of the thug who had lost an arm.

What's the point of saving such a thug?

Although Li Huwei thought this in his heart, he could not say it aloud.

He pursed his lips several times before finally speaking to Jiang Xian, "Master, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xian said to Guard Li, "There's no need to call me 'master' anymore. When we're traveling, we can just call each other 'you' and 'me'."

Upon hearing this, Guard Li was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and nodded repeatedly, replying, "Okay."

Jiang Xian continued to tend to the wounds of the thug in front of him, while Guard Li remained silent and watched quietly from the side.

After washing the assailant's wound and applying the necessary powder, Jiang Xian checked it over and, finding no further problems, bandaged the exposed wound on the assailant's arm.

Seeing Jiang Xian bandaging the thug, Guard Li wanted to help, but fearing it would ruin things for Jiang Xian and waste time, he didn't say anything and quietly waited by Jiang Xian's side.

After dealing with one, Jiang Xian walked over to another thug.

The thug was the one sitting on the ground, the one pinned to the ground by a short knife.

Seeing Jiang Xian walk towards another thug, Li's eyes revealed increasing confusion and growing doubt.

He didn't know Jiang Xian's purpose in doing so, but he believed in Jiang Xian's principles of freedom.

Therefore, Jiang Xian didn't say anything, and he didn't ask any more questions. He simply followed Jiang Xian to the thug's side.

The thug looked very weak, but he hadn't fainted like the man who had lost an arm.

The assailant before them appeared dazed. Without immediate medical attention, his life was in danger.

Jiang Xian squatted down next to the thug and carefully examined his wounds.

Having examined the wound thoroughly, he swiftly pulled the dagger out of the assailant's thigh in the blink of an eye.

"what--"

All around, a weak roar escaped, leaving only the shocked expression on Li Huwei's face.

He never expected Jiang Xian to act so decisively. He never expected that Jiang Xian would show no fear in the face of that bloody wound and be able to so calmly pull the short knife directly from the thug's leg.

At that moment, he realized that his previous judgment of Jiang Xian was completely wrong.

Jiang Xian is not some delicate young lady at all.

It wasn't like that now, and it probably never was either.

He didn't have much contact with Jiang Xian, and his understanding of Jiang Xian's personality was all based on his own imagination.

In fact, from the moment she left Yingzhou, whether it was entering and leaving the city gates, buying medicinal herbs, or saving his life without fear earlier, or even now, Jiang Xian did not hesitate to pull the short knife stuck in the villain's leg, but her face showed no fear as a young lady who had never shed blood.

Throughout the journey, he was repeatedly astonished by Jiang Xian's actions.

It seems that all his judgments about Jiang Xian were wrong.

The thug had lost his strength and his feeble screams went unnoticed.

"You...you..." The thug gasped for breath, his eyes unfocused as he stared at Jiang Xian and Guard Li.

The thug tried to say something, but he completely lost his strength and collapsed to the ground before he could utter a word, losing consciousness.

Jiang Xian aimed at the thug's trouser leg near the wound and ripped it open.

Then, she took out a small bottle, poured out some reddish liquid, and without thinking, poured it thoroughly onto the assailant's wound.

As a gentle breeze blew by, the medicine on the wound became increasingly dry.

Seeing this, Jiang Xian took out several other small bottles, some the same as the previous ones, and some different.

Jiang Xian tapped the bottle, evenly sprinkling powder onto the thug's wounds one by one, until the last bottle was used.

Jiang Xian removed the bottle stopper, and Li Huwei discovered that the powder that had spilled out of the bottle was exactly the same as the powder he had just used on the thug who had lost an arm.

Therefore, Guard Li recognized the powder, and he naturally knew that after sprinkling the powder, he should bandage the wound.

This time, Guard Li spoke first, saying to Jiang Xian, "I've already learned it all, so I'll do it this time."

Jiang Xiangang was about to refuse outright, but then, as if remembering something, he didn't hesitate and handed the white strip of cloth to Guard Li, indicating that Guard Li should bandage the man.

At this moment, Guard Liu was placing the four thugs and the steward into an open carriage.
