The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Hao Xiong threw the empty porcelain bottle out of the window and turned around to say to everyone.

"The carriage is too conspicuous, everyone get off first and see if you can find a place to hide!"

Shishu said quickly: "I just saw that we are at the foot of a mountain. Why don't we go up the mountain!"

Hao Xiong asked Dongtian to stop the carriage and everyone got off. It was already dark at this time and it was pitch black all around. Only the scenery nearby could be seen in the moonlight.

Shishu took out a lighter and just as he blew it to light it, Hao Xiong blew it out in one breath.

"Are you looking for death? If those killers are nearby, you're just alerting them! Now we can only grope our way forward, one step at a time!"

Gu Zhanghua moved closer to Zhao Xuan and asked quietly, "How is your injury?"

"It's just a skin injury, nothing serious."

Winter took the lead, but soon turned back.

"I just saw a thatched hut up ahead. It looks like a temporary resting place for hunters going up the mountain to hunt. I pushed the door open and saw no one was inside. Boss, should we rest inside for a while?"

Zhao Xuan was a little hesitant.

The Little Medical Fairy frowned, "Why are you still hesitating? Your injuries need to be treated quickly, otherwise you'll lose too much blood and soon fall into a coma, which will be even more troublesome!"

In the darkness of the night, Gu Zhanghua exclaimed, "Ah? Are you still bleeding?"

Zhao Xuan wondered if Gu Zhanghua, even though he hadn't seen the blood from his wound, would become ill if he smelled blood. She became a little anxious.

"Why are you yelling? I told you it was just a scratch! You're just being weird!"

Led by Dongtian, the group soon arrived at the thatched hut.

The Little Medical Fairy pressed Zhao Xuan on the grass mat on the ground and began to assign tasks to everyone.

"Shishu, give the tinder to Dongtian, and you'll be in charge of keeping watch outside the door. Prince, Hao Xiong, both of you take off your coats, spread your hands and clothes, and surround the boss to prevent the wind from blowing out the tinder, and to prevent the light from leaking out and being seen by the assassins!"

Everyone quickly prepared themselves according to Xiao Yixian's instructions.

The Little Medical Fairy then tore open the collar of Zhao Xuan's shirt and quickly and skillfully helped Zhao Xuan treat the wound.

Gu Zhanghua asked anxiously, "Is the injury serious?"

Zhao Xuan hurriedly shook her head at the Little Medical Fairy.

The little medical fairy understood what he meant. She had long known that Gu Zhanghua had a strange disease that made him faint when he saw blood. Looking at Zhao Xuan's wound that was pierced by a sword and was bleeding profusely, she spoke calmly.

"It's just a minor skin injury, but you need to apply medicine quickly, otherwise the wound will get infected and it will be bad."

Zhao Xuan also gritted her teeth and endured the pain, chuckling: "I told you it's okay, but you're the only one who's annoying, asking endless questions!"

After a while, the little medical fairy helped Zhao Xuan treat the wound and bandaged it. There was no trace of blood on the surface. Then she nodded to Zhao Xuan.

"Okay, everyone, sit down and take a break."

Gu Zhanghua put on his coat, moved closer, and carefully looked at Zhao Xuan's injuries in the faint light of the fire.

"Is it really okay?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay."

Only then did Gu Zhanghua sit down next to Zhao Xuan to rest.

Zhao Xuan looked at her friends who were sitting in a circle around her.

"I'm sorry for getting everyone into trouble. Actually, the Tiandao League has been hunting me down alone. It has nothing to do with you. Go out and walk down the mountain path first. I'll deliberately make some noise to distract them, and then find a chance to meet up with you. These people who came this time are all ruthless, and I'm worried they'll find this place soon..."

Before Zhao Xuan finished speaking, she saw the secretary hurriedly pushing the door open.

"Oh no! They're chasing us in this direction!"

Zhao Xuan stood up hurriedly. "Shishu! I'll go out and distract them. The prince and the others are in your care!"

After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, she drew the long sword from her waist and walked towards the door. Gu Zhanghua suddenly rushed up and hugged Zhao Xuan in his arms.

"I won't let you go! You can't fool me! If you go out alone to distract them, you're going to die! We're going to die together!"

Zhao Xuan's nose felt a little sore. She smelled a fresh herbal scent on Gu Zhanghua's body. This was the first time they had truly hugged each other since they met again.

Zhao Xuan suddenly felt a little greedy for Gu Zhanghua's warm embrace, but she knew that at this moment of life and death, any delay could lead to unimaginable consequences. She pushed Gu Zhanghua away cruelly and said something harsh.

"Are you stupid? I've already told you, you're a burden. If you don't follow me, I might still be able to survive. But if you follow me, I'll have to split my attention to take care of you, and that's a sure death!"

Gu Zhanghua stubbornly stepped forward again and hugged Zhao Xuan tightly.

"I won't let you go! If anyone has to die, I'll be the first to die!"

Hao Xiong sighed aside.

"Alright! Stop your deadpan talk! Sister! Stop trying to fool us. I'm on my brother-in-law's side this time. Let's all work together and fight them to the death!"

The Little Medical Fairy pondered, "If I'm lucky enough to escape this time, I think I should study poison carefully!"

Dongtian picked up a knife at some point, raised it and waved it.

"The boss and I will live and die together!"

The secretary also drew his sword: "I will swear to protect the safety of Your Highness and the Princess!"

The next moment, everyone heard the sound of dense footsteps coming from outside the door.

Zhao Xuan knew it was too late to leave now, so she looked up at Gu Zhanghua.

"I can't leave now even if I want to. Let go! I won't leave!"

Gu Zhanghua then loosened his arms. Zhao Xuan hurried to the door and looked out through the crack.

"It seems the drug was very effective. There are only five people outside the door now! We must make a quick decision! Hao Xiong! Dong Tian! You stay in the house to protect the prince and the little doctor. Shi Shu, let's go out!"

After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, she suddenly opened the door and rushed out, followed by the secretary.

Without saying a word, the two men worked together to kill a man in black.

Zhao Xuan's right arm was injured and she could only hold the sword with her left hand. Her movements were not very smooth, and she and Shishu could barely withstand the siege of four people.

But after just a few moves, Zhao Xuan discovered that the four people besieging them were from the same school. They cooperated well with each other, and their moves complemented each other. When they joined forces, their power increased exponentially.

Zhao Xuan and Shishu gradually felt overwhelmed.

Hao Xiong, who was watching the fight in the house, was extremely anxious. Seeing one of the killers leap up and stab the secretary with a dagger in his hand, he immediately raised the slingshot he had prepared in his hand and shot a stone at the killer's wrist holding the dagger.

Steady! Accurate! Ruthless!

The killer screamed, and the dagger flew out of his hand, flying straight towards the direction where Zhao Xuan and the other two were fighting.

Zhao Xuan was desperately using her sword to block the double knives of the killer opposite her, when she suddenly heard Gu Zhanghua's scream behind her. Zhao Xuan was horrified and quickly kicked the killer hard. With the help of the reaction force, she took two steps back and finally stood firm. She saw Gu Zhanghua sitting on the ground with a dagger stuck in his shoulder.

Zhao Xuan was so frightened that she almost lost her soul.

Just as she was about to bend over to help Gu Zhanghua up, she was pushed by Gu Zhanghua.

"I'm fine! Shishu is dying! Go help him!"

Zhao Xuan turned around and saw that four assassins surrounded Shishu. Shishu was already at a disadvantage. Seeing one of the assassins raised his knife and chopped at Shishu's neck, Zhao Xuan dared not delay and threw the sword in his hand with force. There was a crisp sound of jingling, and the sword tip just pierced the blade, causing the blade to deviate from its direction. Shishu escaped!
