When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

His body was suddenly turned, accidentally touching the wound on Lin Lezhi's shoulder. Lin Lezhi, who was in a semi-comatose state, couldn't help but let out a broken whimper of pain.

Hearing Lin Lezhi's groan of pain, Xiao Yihuo seemed a little at a loss, not knowing where to put his hands. The lights in the room were dim, and Lin Lezhi's clothes were his, also dark in color, so it was difficult to see where Lin Lezhi was injured.

Not only did he fail to kill Jiang Lian'an, but there was also one more person. Hong Mingxu's cheeks twitched uncontrollably with anger, and his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.

Now he saw who was coming.

It’s Xiao Xu.

Judging from the palm strike he had just exchanged with Xiao Xu, he was obviously no match for Xiao Xu, so even if he was unwilling, he couldn't continue to fight here.

But just as he got up and rushed to the door, Liu Yunhe rushed in from the fog.

"Yun He, stop him!"

After hearing the order from Xiao Yihuo, Liu Yunhe drew the sword from his waist without thinking, and pointed the tip of the sword at Hong Mingxu's throat.

Hearing the anger in Xiao Yihuo's tone, Liu Yunhe's gaze shifted slightly downwards, and he saw Lin Lezhi, who was being held in Xiao Yihuo's arms, looking pale and dying.

Liu Yunhe's eyes suddenly narrowed, and then he clenched the knife in his hand, his eyes filled with anger as he asked, "What have you done!"

Almost everyone in the house was dead, and the few survivors were in the same state of being unable to move as Lin Lezhi. Looking at the way he tried to escape in panic just now, it could only be Hong Mingxu's doing.

As the roar was heard, Luo Zhifeng and Qingchuan stepped into the house one after another.

Seeing that Cui Yan was still alive, they couldn't help but look a little surprised.

But after seeing Lin Lezhi's condition, these were no longer important for the time being. Qingchuan's eyes became extremely solemn, and he hurriedly took the medicine box and went to Lin Lezhi's side.

"Brother Lezhi."

Qingchuan called Lin Lezhi's name softly, but Lin Lezhi did not respond at all. Only the faint sound of breathing proved that Lin Lezhi was still alive.

Seeing four people coming in from the door one after another, Hong Mingxu knew that it was Jiang Lian'an who was plotting against him again even if he had to think about it.

While he was delaying the onset of the poison, Jiang Lian'an was also deliberately delaying time.

Jiang Lian'an deliberately said by the lake that the case was solved to lower his vigilance and make him think that no one who didn't know about the case would come to the island again tonight, so that he could kill him by surprise.

it is good.

well.

What a great Jiang Lian'an.

Hong Mingxu snorted coldly, his eyes filled with resentment and anger as he said, "Winners take all, losers take all. I have nothing to say. If you have the guts, kill me."

"you…!"

Liu Yunhe had never seen such a vicious person before, so he actually raised his sword and stabbed him.

Seeing this, Luo Zhifeng hurriedly shouted: "Young Master Liu, don't..."

However, Liu Yunhe did not stop. Just as he was about to stab Hong Mingxu, he suddenly turned the sword in his hand, used the hilt of the sword to block several of Hong Mingxu's major acupoints, and then kicked Hong Mingxu to the ground.

With anger and disdain in his eyes, he said disdainfully: "I know that killing such a person will dirty my sword."

Liu Yunhe was much stronger than the others. Even if he didn't kill Hong Mingxu, the power of this kick was indeed not light, even a tough guy like Hong Mingxu couldn't withstand it. After being kicked to the ground, Hong Mingxu groaned, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth again, and his face turned very ugly.

Qingchuan looked at Xiao Yihuo and said, "Ah Xu, lay Brother Lezhi down first."

Hearing this, Xiao Yihuo helped Lin Lezhi down. As he carefully moved away, he saw blood on his clothes, which was flowing from Lin Lezhi's shoulder.

The clothes he was wearing belonged to Lin Lezhi. They were light blue in color and were extremely obvious after being stained with blood. They looked shocking.

After seeing the bloody hole on Lin Lezhi's shoulder, Qingchuan's eyes tightened slightly, causing Xiao Yihuo to stop and ask calmly, "How could he be injured like this?"

"It was... Hong Mingxu who secretly put a muscle softening powder in the fire, which weakens the limbs. That's why Jiang Guitan was defeated and injured by him. He poisoned all the soldiers here before they came to Pinghai Town."

Qi Xi briefly described what happened in the temple. Looking at Lin Lezhi, whose life or death was unknown, and the corpses of soldiers in the room, Qi Xi was very anxious and full of guilt.

In order to allow Qi Xi to speak more comfortably, Luo Zhifeng walked forward and helped Qi Xi up, and then helped He Yu who was beside Qi Xi up.

He Yu's lips were dark, his face was pale, his breathing was not smooth, and he could barely sit up.

"Doctor Qingchuan, please save Jiang Guitan. If Jiang Guitan hadn't stood up to protect us and negotiated with Hong Mingxu many times, everyone here would have been killed by that bastard long ago."

"Don't worry, I will do my best. Brother Lezhi, are you injured in other ways?"

"No...no, that bastard knew that Jiang Guitan had an injury on his left shoulder, so he kept attacking him there."

Hearing this, Xiao Yihuo looked at the bloody hole on Lin Lezhi's clothes, his eyes suddenly darkening, revealing a cold look. If the wound hadn't been repeatedly damaged, how could it have shed so much blood?

After hearing this description, it was not only Xiao Yihuo who looked strange, but also Liu Yunhe.

He was the one who injured Lin Lezhi. If he hadn't acted rashly, Lin Lezhi wouldn't have been caught by Hong Mingxu and suffered such abuse.

"Brother Qingchuan, is he...is he okay?"

Liu Yunhe asked in a weak voice, full of worry and self-blame.

"Brother Lezhi should have just been poisoned by the muscle softening powder." Qingchuan looked at Liu Yunhe and said, "Yunhe, go get some water from the well outside and bring in some firewood. This room is too dark."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Give me the sword."

Seeing this, Cui Yan struggled to get up from the ground and said, "I'll go too. It will be faster if two of us go. I'll go get some firewood!"

Liu Yunhe handed the sword in his hand to Qingchuan, then quickly walked to the bucket, poured out the dirty water in the bucket, and hurried out with Cui Yan.

Qingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Xiao Yihuo and said, "Ah Xu, Brother Lezhi's shoulder injury must be serious. He needs to be treated immediately to stop the bleeding. You support him first and wait for Yun He to come back."

"it is good."

Qingchuan nodded, then stood up and fed everyone in the room a pill that could soften the muscles. He then looked at He Yu, who was in the worst condition.

Qingchuan took He Yu's pulse and his eyes dimmed.

Then he went to see Cheng Su again. Cheng Su was in much better condition than He Yu. There were many bloodstains on the palms of his hands, and blood could still be seen on the blade placed beside him.

"General, what's wrong with you?"

After taking the antidote, Cheng Su was able to speak, but still unable to move. He whispered, "I cut it myself."

Just now, in order to resist the effect of the drug, he cut himself without hesitation every time he shouted "Hong Mingxu" through gritted teeth, but he failed to stop Hong Mingxu.

Cheng Su's response was clearly heard by Hong Mingxu. He did not look at Cheng Su, but lowered his eyes, so no one could see the expression in his eyes.

As Qingchuan applied medicine and bandaged Cheng Su, Cheng Su looked at the corpses of the soldiers, his eyes filled with anger, sadness, and self-blame. After seeing He Yu's painful expression, his eyes became more solemn. He turned to look at Hong Mingxu and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the antidote?"

Hearing this, Hong Mingxu's eyelids twitched, he sneered, and said numbly: "There is no antidote."

Luo Zhifeng stepped forward and searched the only remaining clothes of Hong Mingxu, then shook his head helplessly at everyone. Hong Mingxu indeed did not have the antidote on him.

After Cheng Su's wound was bandaged, Cui Yan and Liu Yunhe entered the house one after another.

With the firewood, the house finally became much brighter and provided some warmth.

There was mud and sand in the bucket, so Liu Yunhe washed it several times before he finally cleaned the bucket and filled it with clean water.

"The conditions here are limited, so I can only do some simple treatment first. Ah Xu, please hold Brother Le Zhi tightly and keep him from moving."

Xiao Yihuo nodded, worried that moving Lin Lezhi's body casually would affect Lin Lezhi's wound again, so he chose to move himself to the right front side of Lin Lezhi, holding Lin Lezhi's uninjured right shoulder with one hand and Lin Lezhi's waist with the other hand.

After everything was ready, Qingchuan carefully cut open Lin Lezhi's clothes with Liu Yunhe's sword, tearing it apart. The blood had already soaked the strips of cloth made from the inner garment.

Qingchuan focused on untying the strips of cloth, carefully untying them one circle at a time.

The outer layer of cloth was fine, but the blood-stained cloth further in was stuck to the wound, and would inevitably affect the wound. Even in his coma, Lin Lezhi let out a faint moan, and his facial features were tense.

After the bandages were untied, Lin Lezhi's wounds were exposed without a trace of covering. The sight of torn skin, bloody flesh, and exposed internal organs was shocking.

Obviously, this wound has been cruelly and mercilessly tortured countless times.

The pain was not entirely without benefits. With the antidote Qingchuan fed him, Lin Lezhi slowly opened his eyes. His vision went from hazy to focused, and he could see the person in front of him clearly.

Looking at the anxious and worried expression of the person in front of him, Lin Lezhi actually laughed for some unknown reason.

"Well-!"

Laughter would also affect the wound, and his face turned even paler in pain, but he still felt like laughing.

He wanted to laugh not because he found it funny, nor because he was in pain, but because the pain made him see clearly that besides his grandfather and Ji Hang, there were other people who showed such nervousness and concern because they were worried about him.

Xiao Yihuo is one, and so is Liu Yunhe.

Think about it this way.

It seems worth getting hurt a little.

Seeing Lin Lezhi open his eyes, in order to confirm whether Lin Lezhi was really awake, he asked nervously: "Jiang Lian'an, are you okay?"

Simultaneously.

Lin Lezhi also felt a little greedy in his heart.

if……

It would have been better if the person calling out was Lin Lezhi instead of Jiang Lian'an. However, it only took Lin Lezhi a second to realize that he was the one who had taken over someone else's body.

"It's like this, and you're still laughing!"

There was rebuke in Xiao Yihuo's voice, but more of it was worry that could not be concealed.

Lin Lezhi wouldn't admit that he was smiling out of joy at their concern; after all, it was truly embarrassing. He lowered his gaze, forced a slight smile through the pain, and jokingly said, "I thought... you'd change your clothes before coming back."

"It's already this late, and you're still joking like this. If you hadn't..."

It's a certain time, and you're still worrying about clothes.

Xiao Yihuo wanted to say that if it weren't for Lin Lezhi's bad plan, he wouldn't have put himself in this situation, but looking at Lin Lezhi's pale face at this moment, he couldn't utter another word.

He wanted to stay with them that day, because he knew that things were far from over, but Liu Yunhe grabbed him first and shook his head slightly.

While eating in the afternoon, Qingchuan smelled something mixed in the food and stopped it.

The three of them looked at Lin Lezhi, who had already eaten the food.

As night fell, fog settled over the lake. To ensure safe sailing, an hour had already passed before the boat reached the shore. After parting with the common people and reaching a deserted area, Liu Yunhe finally revealed Lin Lezhi's plan.

To prevent innocent people from being implicated, Lin Lezhi asked them to stay out of sight after leaving the island. They didn't know who had drugged them, but they knew the person who had drugged them certainly didn't intend to let the rest of them leave the island alive.

simplest.

When everyone thought the case was closed, when Deng Yang's ship returned tomorrow, he could just tell others that the remaining people were unfortunately killed by poisonous snakes, and no one would be suspicious.

They had already used the fastest speed to return to the island from the woods by the lake, and from the tomb to the earth temple.

But it's still too late.

How could Lin Lezhi be blamed for this? This was the best result he could achieve. He had tried his best to catch the murderer without the murderer becoming suspicious and to minimize the damage.

He just didn't expect that his opponent would be so cruel and inhumane that he could easily abandon his brother who had been through life and death with him.

Xiao Yihuo couldn't bear to say anything that would make Lin Lezhi sad or blame himself, at least not at this time.

He swallowed his words, his eyes filled with concern and worry, and said in a soothing tone, "Stop joking for now and take care of your injuries."
