The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 67 Traveling Together

The four of them fled far away. Lin Shanjuan looked around and saw that there were no pursuers behind them, so he pulled the reins.

"I haven't caught up with you yet. Let's take a break first."

Before she could finish her words, Ye Xi opened his mouth weakly, then closed his eyes and fell down.

"Hey--"

The three of them hurriedly carried Ye Xi to the shade of a tree. It was dark and visibility was very low. Lin Shanjuan touched something sticky and had some bad guesses in his mind.

"Bai Shu made a fire."

Bai Shu responded and built a fire. With the help of the firelight, they could see the wound on Ye Xi's back clearly.

It turned out to be an arrow that pierced her shoulder. No one knew when she was shot. This person was really patient. She endured it for so long without making a sound. If she hadn't collapsed due to excessive blood loss, she would probably continue to hold on.

Her face was bruised from falling off the horse, and her lips had lost much of their color.

Qi Zhen looked around anxiously: "We are in this desolate mountain area and we don't have anything. How can we help her heal her?"

Lin Shanjuan looked back at the town. They had only been running for about ten minutes. Those people did not chase them anymore. Presumably, the focus of the mission was not to kill Ye Xi.

Now that we know they have escaped, we should not continue to wait there.

"Go back to town to buy medicine."

Bai Shu shushivered, and the sparks burned his hands, causing him to blow on them in pain.

"Boss, there are pursuers behind us. Isn't this too risky?"

Lin Shanjuan shook his head: "Look, there are no pursuers. They probably just want to rescue the disguised man. If they succeed, they will definitely leave!"

Bai Shu looked at the unconscious Ye Xi, then looked in the direction of the town and sighed:

"Then I'll go, you guys wait here for me."

Qi Zhen stopped him: "I'll go. I'm more familiar with that town and will be back soon. You stay and take care of the boss."

"Brother Qi, stop talking. You have a sister-in-law and a child. What if something happens? I'll go!"

"Oh my god! You still have a mother to take care of!"

"Brother Qi!"

"Bai Di!"

Lin Shanjuan could no longer bear it: "I'll go, is that okay?"

"Boss! How can we do this!" The two men stopped them in unison. Seeing that they were about to start pulling again, Lin Shanjuan got on the horse directly.

"Chirp, wait here!"

After she said that, she kicked her horse's stomach and rushed out. Bai Shu and Qi Zhen looked at each other and sighed.

"Tell me, if the eldest brother goes and doesn't come back, what will the eldest princess do?"

Qi Zhen smiled coldly: "Princess? What are we going to do then?"

Bai Shu: "Hey! I just wanted to push it away and get the boss to give up the idea, but why did the boss really want to save her?"

Qi Zhen shook his head: "We are both too narrow-minded! We need to learn more in the future!"

In fact, Lin Shanjuan, who has an even narrower mind, said: I heard that Ye Lang and Qi Zhaomian are childhood sweethearts, which proves that she and Ye Xi must have known each other since childhood.

What if my sponsor knew that I stood by and watched, and if he created a rift with me again?

She rode all the way back to the town, and as she expected, the killers had disappeared, and the shop owner was crying and directing his employees to clean up the broken tables and chairs.

Lin Shanjuan took just a glance and left quickly. He went to the drugstore to get some medicine and bought more than twenty pairs at once. He hung one string on his saddle and one string around his neck. He also bought some food before coming back.

Ye Xi's condition became worse. Qi Zhen and Bai Shu took the initiative to go to the river to fetch water and collect firewood. They had already built a small tent for Lin Shanjuan with large cattail leaves. When they saw her come back, they hurried to take credit for it.

"Boss, you've worked hard! Leave the medicine to me! Come and sit down!"

Lin Shanjuan slapped his hand aside and said, "You two, step aside. It will be more convenient for me to apply the medicine to her."

The two men realized it and quickly hid far away.

Lin Shanjuan applied the medicine according to the doctor's instructions in the light of the fire, placed Ye Xi in the tent, and slept outside with Bai Shu and Qi Zhen.

When the sky was bright, Ye Xi was awakened by a vague pain in her shoulder. She opened her eyes and found that she was sleeping in a tent made of leaves. She quickly turned over while enduring the pain.

The two men I saw yesterday were still sleeping against the tree roots in an undignified posture, with one of them having his fist stuffed in the other's mouth.

"Wake up." Lin Shanjuan had already put out the fire and kicked Bai Shu: "You're going to eat Qi Zhen soon, wake up!"

Ye Xi was amused by her words, and the corner of his lip twitched, but his wound also felt painful.

The two of them got up in a daze and saw Ye Xi looking at them.

"Boss, the person is awake."

Immediately afterwards, another head popped out from the visible field of view outside the leaf tent. She hadn't looked closely at it yesterday, but now it looked like a woman with very sharp features.

Being stared at by these three heads, Ye Xi always felt that they were like looking at a wild beast in a cage.

hiss……

Lin Shanjuan just took a look and then retreated: "Since you are awake, come out and eat something."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xi came out holding her shoulder. The smell of medicine reached her nose and she paused. She guessed that it must be this woman who applied the medicine for her and she was very grateful.

"Thank you, young lady, for saving my life."

Lin Shanjuan handed her a piece of cake and said, "It's not that I don't know what's good for me, but if you don't eat it now, they won't give you any leftovers."

Ye Xi subconsciously looked at the two men who were eating crazily, and hurriedly accepted the kindness extended by Lin Shanjuan.

Lin Shanjuan knew that Ye Xi was from the General's Mansion and that it was a secret that he came out to arrest the criminal, so he would not ask about it. But after all, he had rescued the person, so he had to ask about his future plans.

"After this meal, where are you going?"

Ye Xi was stunned and pondered for a moment: "Chen Qiang has already escaped. He must have retreated to his lair. I have received accurate information before. He should be going to Wuyan Town."

Lin Shanjuan: Huh? You just said it like that? You told us everything?

It's over. Was she going to suddenly draw her sword after saying all this and say something cheesy like "Only dead people can keep secrets"?

Thinking of this, she quickly covered her ears: "Stop talking! I didn't hear anything. They heard a lot. If you want to silence them, then kill them!"

Qi Zhen and Bai Shu were also slow to react. As soon as the biscuit was thrown, they covered their ears, opened their eyes wide and shook their heads desperately, which was very funny.

Ye Xi couldn't help laughing again: "You are my saviors, how could I attack my benefactors? Don't panic."

Lin Shanjuan finally put down his hand: "Ah, I feel relieved when you say that."

Ye Xi smiled slyly: "It seems that even if you cover your ears, you can still hear it?"

Lin Shanjuan’s mouth almost got stuck in his throat: This Ye Xi... is really just like her brother and is not an easy person to deal with!

Ye Xi was amused by her expression: "Just kidding. Where are you going? If it's on your way, I wonder if it would be convenient for you to go together."

Lin Shanjuan thought for a moment. Since their destination was Wuyan Town and Ye Xi was so skilled, he might as well take her with him.

When she left the capital, she deliberately spread the news that she was going to Wuyan Town in order to make Governor Zhao Xuan lose his composure. She believed that he would definitely send people to stop her by any means necessary.

Wouldn’t it be more secure to bring Ye Xi along?

"We're going to Wuyan Town too, so let's go together!"

Ye Xi appreciated her straightforwardness and agreed with a smile: "Okay! My name is Ye Xi. May I ask your names?"

Lin Shanjuan did not want to reveal his identity and the purpose of going to Wuyan Town. Firstly, although their foreseeing Ye Xi was a coincidence, she was not clear about what was happening in the court and was not sure who Ye Xi belonged to, so there was no need to explain it so clearly.

"My name is Lin Shan, this is Bai Shu, Qi Zhen."

Linshan?

Ye Xi felt familiar again, but did not show it.

The injury on her shoulder was nothing compared to the suffering she had endured in the past, so after eating, they continued riding on their horses and headed straight for Wuyan Town.
