Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

He and his guards were about to chase after him, but he heard Ye Feng say, "No need. You can't catch up."

Chu Xiong was filled with shame: "Your Highness, it is my incompetence."

Sikong Xiang shook his head and consoled him: "It's not your fault. Do you know who rescued Huanyan just now?"

"Who?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Chi Li." Sikong Xiang said, "It is said that Chi Li likes to wear black clothes. Although I couldn't see his appearance clearly just now, I saw the black clothes."

"It's him?" Chu Xiong was extremely surprised. "Didn't they say Huanyan and Chili don't get along?"

"It seems that the rumors are not credible."

Ye Feng ordered people to search the entire courtyard and found Bai Zhu who was unconscious in the woodshed.

The fifteen-year-old boy was at the age when he loved to play and laugh, but at the moment he was dying, lying there almost lifeless, which made everyone feel heartbroken.

Sikong Xiang stuffed a detoxification pill into Bai Zhu's mouth and said, "Although this pill can cure a hundred poisons, it can only last for three days at most. We have to find someone to detoxify as soon as possible within these three days."

"It seems we have to hurry to Xilin County, Luzhou to find Gao Yutang." Ye Feng immediately arranged the personnel, "Sir, we will set off immediately. We will gallop along the way. If everything goes well, we will be able to reach Xilin County in two days."

Everyone acted quickly, preparing supplies, harnessing the carriage, and packing their luggage... everything was ready in half an hour.

Three carriages were prepared for this trip. Two were for passengers, and the other was for various items. In order not to attract other people's attention, the carriages looked very ordinary on the outside. However, there was something else inside the two carriages. The inner walls of the carriages were covered with a layer of hard iron sheets, which could resist attacks from various hidden weapons. The seats were covered with snow-white wool cushions, and many secret compartments were installed around the carriages, which were filled with various dry food, food and daily necessities.

Sikong Xiang and Bai Shu were in one car, and Ye Feng was in another car, with Xiao Shitou accompanying them. Xiao Shitou put the stove and Go board that Ye Feng usually used in the car.

It was afternoon when everyone left. The neighbors were not surprised. In the past two years, the people of Pingzhou had been overwhelmed by heavy taxes and levies, and it was common to see families moving to other places.

Many houses in the city were vacant, and caravans would rent or borrow them from time to time. Pingzhou did not prohibit caravans from coming and going, but the trade and commercial atmosphere in the city were no longer as strong as before.

When approaching the city gate, a long line of people or vehicles appeared in front of us. These were waiting to leave the city.

The carriage slowed down.

When it was Ye Feng and his friends' turn, two incense sticks had passed.

"What are you doing?" A soldier guarding the city gate raised his spear to stop the carriage.

Chu Xiong, sitting on a tall horse, replied, "We are a caravan coming to Pingzhou to do business."

"Business? What business?" The soldier's greedy eyes moved back and forth among the three carriages.

"Alas, it's just a small business." Chu Xiong got off the horse, took out a silver ingot from his bosom and stuffed it into the soldier's hand: "Sir, we wanted to stay in Pingzhou for a few more days, but my son couldn't adapt to the climate outside. He fell ill two days ago. We have no choice but to go home early."

The soldier weighed the silver in his hand, looked at Chu Xiong who was nodding and bowing to him, waved his hand, and said with a look of disgust: "Go, go, don't pass the disease on to us."

The wheels rumbled as they drove out of the city gate.

A man in black walked out from the shadow of the city gate, looked at the carriage with sinister eyes, and suddenly raised an arm and waved it backwards. Immediately, more than a dozen strong and sturdy figures followed closely.

………………

The rocky hill outside Pingzhou City was empty.

A few birds flew down from the trees, landed on the rocks, and pecked at the insects wriggling in the cracks of the rocks.

Suddenly, a red-black figure dropped from the sky, scaring the birds so much that they flew away in panic.

As soon as Huanyan's feet touched the ground, she immediately pushed away the people around her.

"I don't want you to come and rescue me!" The voice was crisp and charming, and it was actually a woman's voice. The tone was like the coquetry between lovers, but also like the accusation of dissatisfaction with the opponent.

The bright sunlight shone on the charming and charming face of the young man, and the dark-patterned arrow-sleeved robe outlined his slender figure. His narrow and starry eyes glared at the angry face with a hint of impatience.

The thin red lips opened slightly, and the cold voice was as frightening as ever: "You shouldn't have taken my mission again."

"But will you kill him?" Huanyan had a face like Bai Shu, but her eyes were full of obsession and despair. She stared at Chi Li without blinking, and said word by word with certainty: "You will not kill the crown prince."

"Whether to kill or not is my business." Chi Li was silent for a long time. After a while, he said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you."

"But you will die!" Suddenly Huanyan broke down and burst into tears, with big tears rolling down from her eyes, "If you don't get the monthly antidote, you will die, do you know that?"

"So, you rushed to kill the people I didn't want to kill?" Chi Li looked at her with complicated eyes, and his voice slowed down, "Even if I die, it is my own choice. It has nothing to do with you."

"But I don't want you to die!" Huanyan cried, "I want you to live! You know that if you can't complete the task, the host will not give you the antidote once a month. Without the antidote, you will die! Don't forget, we are killers!"

Chi Li stared at her, and suddenly curled his lips into a smile. His slender sword-like eyebrows that slanted into his temples slightly raised with this smile, and his slender eyes were as charming as silk.

"Yes, we are killers. But killers are also human beings, not machines. You know clearly that some people should be killed, but some people should not be killed."

"But if they don't die, we will have to die!" Huanyan cried, "The host used poison to control us, what can we do? I'm not a saint, I just want to live! Why can't you think more about yourself?"

"But the Crown Prince cannot be killed!" Chi Li's eyes were stern, "If he dies, the world will change!"

"What does it have to do with me whether the sky changes or not?" Huan Yan said angrily, "I only know that he is the one the landlord wants to kill. I only know that only by killing him can you get the antidote for this month! Only then can you live!"

"Even if rivers of blood flow and lives are lost, don't you care?"

"Let the world be in chaos! What does it have to do with me? I just want us all to survive!"

"Huanyan, what's the point of living like this?" Chi Li said, "We are just tools for killing people in the hands of the host, a knife that should not have emotions or blood and tears. Huanyan, don't kill for me anymore!"

After saying this, he no longer looked at Huanyan, but leaped up and down. After a few ups and downs, his figure disappeared among the rocks.

Huanyan collapsed weakly on the ground, looking in the direction where he disappeared, tears flowing again.

"But...but I like you..."

A gust of wind blew, and the words that she had been holding in her throat and had just uttered were blew away into the air above the rocky hill.
