As soon as I stepped into the room, the strong smell of blood hit me in the face.

The wound is so serious that the amount of bleeding will naturally be considerable.

Jiang Xue quickly cut off the clothes stuck to the wound and shouted to the two men outside the screen, "Hurry up and prepare hot water and needle and thread."

Soon, all the necessary items were ready.

Jiang Xue rolled up her sleeves and concentrated on treating Yunyan's wound.

"What happened?" Xiao Zhan stared at the two women's figures reflected on the screen and asked Chu Jingming seriously.

Chu Jingming stared at the dying woman on the bed. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and spat out three words: "Shangguan Jin."

It turned out that Shangguan Jin had attacked Yunyan from behind when she was not prepared, causing her to be seriously injured. What was even worse was that he used the injured Yunyan as a shield to resist the attack.

Chu Jingming vowed to avenge this grudge.

"Originally, the wound was intended for Shangguan Jin's heart." Chu Jingming said. When he saw Yunyan fall, his heart was clenched. In a rage, he fired a nut nail at Shangguan Jin, trying his best to make him pay the price.

However, Shangguan Jin used Yunyan's body to block the nails, which only resulted in Shangguan Jin suffering some physical pain.

"So you hurt Shangguan Jin." Xiao Zhan understood everything that happened last night.

"What about Jiang Chen? My people reported that he is missing." Since Shangguan Jin brought people to the door, Chu Jingming should have seen Jiang Chen as well.

"After he was injured, he fled with his men. I don't know what happened after that." Chu Jingming replied.

If Chu Jingming hadn't been worried about Yunyan, he would have chased out and cut Shangguan Jin into pieces long ago.

"All right."

As the two were talking, Jiang Xue finally finished treating Yunyan. She immersed her hands in hot water, and the blood gradually spread.

As the smell of blood became stronger, Jiang Xue felt nauseous and dizzy. She barely supported herself until the dizziness slowly subsided.

After wiping her hands and walking out from behind the screen, Jiang Xue said to Chu Jingming, "Ms. Yunyan's injury has been treated. Fortunately, her right clavicle was broken cleanly, so it is relatively easy to reset.

The most important thing now is to rest. Because she had an old back injury before, and this time she got a new injury, the recovery period will be longer, and it is best not to use force again during this period. "

Upon learning that Yunyan had been injured before, Chu Jingming looked at the person lying on the bed with deep eyes, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

"Just now I heard you mention that Shangguan Jin took the royal brother to escape. Which direction did they go?" Jiang Xue asked immediately.

In the southeast, Chu Jingming said, "Jiang Chen's internal energy has been sealed, and he is completely unable to resist."

Jiang Xue frowned and bowed politely to Chu Jingming: "Thank you, Prince Ming, for telling me."

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave. Now that she knew where they were going, she decided to chase them immediately.

"People from Linglong Pavilion were also nearby at the time and should have participated in the operation." Chu Jingming added when Jiang Xue was about to leave.

Hearing this, Jiang Xue paused for a moment, then continued to walk forward quickly.

"Shangguan Jin will wake up soon, and you have to be prepared before that." Chu Jingming stared into Xiao Zhan's eyes and warned him seriously.

"Yeah, I know." Xiao Zhan responded with the same seriousness.

Following the trail in the southeast direction, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan found a large amount of bloodstains in a hidden alley not far from the farmhouse.

The blood obviously did not belong to one person.

"The bloodstain disappears here." Xiao Zhan said, pointing at the blood spot that suddenly stopped in front.

"It was cut so cleanly." Jiang Xue looked forward. There was clearly still some way to go, but the bloodstain stopped abruptly here. It was obvious that someone had taken the injured person away.

"The clues are gone. Unless there is new information, we have no way to proceed."

Xiao Zhan stood up and said to Jiang Xue, "I will arrange for someone to wait and investigate here. Let's go back now."

Thinking of Chu Jingming's words, Xiao Zhan felt an unprecedented sense of urgency. Although the power of the walnut nail is strong, Shangguan Jin is also a master and may wake up at any time.

It is speculated based on the current situation that when Shangguan Jin evacuated, people from Linglong Pavilion tried to intercept Jiang Chen but failed.

The attackers are now out of contact and are probably in trouble.

The worst case scenario is that they have been captured by Shangguan Jin's men. If so, he must take action immediately.

Otherwise, once Shangguan Jin takes the lead, they will be passive and at the mercy of others.

Jiang Xue thought for a moment, then nodded. Blindly searching without any clues would only add to her troubles, so she decided to find another way to see if she could get information about the Prince's Mansion from others.

Shangguan Jin is deeply obsessed with his royal brother. If his royal brother is not in his hands, his investigation into his royal brother's whereabouts will definitely not lag behind her.

When the two returned to the inn, the innkeeper hurriedly handed them a note: "Sir, something big has happened."

This is an execution order that lists the names of the missing spies from Linglong Pavilion.

"When was this posted?" Xiao Zhan's face turned serious.

"Just now." The shopkeeper replied, "It is said that the prince has woken up, and the first thing he did after waking up was to ask the emperor to publicly execute these people, and vowed to eradicate all Linglong Pavilion members hiding in Huyin City.

These brothers have not been heard from since they completed their mission last night. It seems the prince is trying to lure us out with this."

The public execution was clearly intended to force them to show up. As the shopkeeper had expected, this practice did have its purpose.

"It seems that the royal brother may still be in Shangguan Jin's hands." Jiang Xue said.

After confirming this, she felt a little relieved. At least, under Shangguan Jin's control, her brother was safe for the time being.

However, the most urgent task at present is to rescue the captured spies.

Jiang Xue couldn't just sit back and watch her companions being arrested in order to rescue her brother. As the master of Linglong Pavilion, Xiao Zhan would not allow the fate of his men to be manipulated by others.

Seeing Xiao Zhan was silent for a long time in deep thought, Jiang Xue asked, "What are your plans?"

"Maybe someone can help now." Xiao Zhan replied, then handed a letter to the waiter and asked him to pass it to a specific location.

As night fell, Mo Chenjun and An Yun came to the door of the inn. He was dressed simply, like an elegant scholar. When An Yun saw Jiang Xue, he immediately rushed forward and hugged her happily.

"Sister, why aren't you wearing a mask today?" An Yun asked curiously.

During this period of time, she had been concentrating on helping the Mo family manufacture firearms and knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.

Jiang Xue didn't want to involve her in this crisis.

He smiled and patted An Yun on the shoulder, told the shopkeeper to prepare her favorite snacks, and asked Si Ruochen to bring the weapon design drawings that had been prepared long ago to An Yun, quickly diverting her attention.

"Are you asking me to replace those people in prison?" Mo Chenjun went straight to the point.

Xiao Zhan's proposal surprised Mo Chenjun. The captured Linglong Pavilion spies were being held in the Mo family's military camp. If anything went wrong, the emperor would definitely blame them first.
