Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Shen Zhaoyan's pupils suddenly contracted, "Hua Ci Shu really told you, it seems that he really can't keep you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already drawn his sword and was heading straight for Yan Ci's face.

Yan Ci immediately drew his sword to block, but the disparity in strength still caused Yan Ci to be knocked back several steps by the sword.

Blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, and the dull pain in her chest made her breathing heavy.

If it was Hua Cijing, he could still fight with Shen Zhaoyan, but Yan Ci... he had only practiced martial arts for two years, how could he compare to Shen Zhaoyan's more than ten years of hard study and practice.

Yan Ci wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Shen Zhaoyan calmly.

She was not afraid of death, but it was not worth dying meaninglessly under Shen Zhaoyan's sword, so she wanted to escape and take Ding Si and Wu Lan with her.

In the future, all that Shen Zhaoyan owes to the Hua family and Hua Cijing will be repaid.

Yan Ci stood with a sword in his hand and glanced at Wu Lan, Ding Si, and the man in black who was slowly approaching behind them.

Suddenly, she took the initiative to attack, pointing her sword at Shen Zhaoyan. Shen Zhaoyan sneered, "You don't know your own limitations," and dodged, then stabbed at Yan Ci with his sword.

Yan Ci's eyes were determined. She did not dodge the sword that Shen Zhaoyan stabbed at her, but went straight to meet it. Correspondingly, her sword was pointed at Shen Zhaoyan's vital points.

Shen Zhaoyan didn't expect that Yan Ci would risk his own life to kill him. After being shocked, he immediately turned around and put away his sword to protect his vital parts.

A smile appeared on Yan Ci's lips. She had made the right bet. Shen Zhaoyan was afraid of death.

The two people passed each other, and Yan Ci's sarcastic expression fell into Shen Zhaoyan's eyes, and a huge anger surged in his heart.

When he was about to attack Yan Ci again, Yan Ci had already killed several men in black and returned to Ding Si and Wu Lan. Before anyone could react, he pulled the two of them and ran outside.

Dao Ji, who had been on guard outside, saw that Shen Zhaoyan had suffered a loss and Yan Ci had already escaped with his men. He picked up a sword from the ground and threw it at Yan Ci.

Yan Ci and Ding Si fought off the men in black to open the exit, while protecting Wu Lan behind them and retreating, without noticing the flying sword.

Wulan saw it, but she had no weapon and didn't know any martial arts, so she couldn't block the sword.

But she used her body as a shield to block the flying sword without hesitation.

When the sharp sword pierced her chest, she spat out blood. She was already injured, and the sword hit her vital part. Wulan could no longer hold on and fell down.

"Ulan!"

Yan Ci looked at Wu Lan lying on the ground with a sword piercing her chest, and finally turned around and returned to her side.

Ding Si stopped the man in black and gave Yan Ci and Wu Lan space to talk.

Yan Ci hugged Wu Lan's body, his hands trembling a little, "You shouldn't have blocked it for me, it's not worth it."

Blood kept gushing out of Wu Lan's mouth. "It's worth it. You saved me, and now I'm repaying you. I just hope you don't blame me for getting you arrested. I didn't mean to do that."

Tears flowed from the corners of Wulan's eyes, mixing with the blood at the corners of her mouth, forming a bright red patch.

"I don't blame you. I'll take you away. Just hold on."

"No need. We Wu people don't care about life or death. My mother is still waiting for me. Goodbye, my benefactor."

A smile appeared on Wulan's lips and her eyes slowly closed.

A beautiful little girl lost her life just like that, but Yan Ci had no time to grieve. Ding Si, who had been struggling alone for a long time, was also stabbed by a sword, and then the man in black chopped him down mercilessly.

Ding Si's body and face were covered in blood. He only had time to shout "Go!" before he fell heavily to the ground.

Yan Ci suddenly felt his heart stagnate, and immediately put down Wu Lan and rushed towards Ding Si. Ding Si, who was covered in blood and could no longer see the wound, stretched out his hand to Yan Ci, and whispered to Yan Ci, "Ah...Ci."

"Ding Si!"

Yan Ci felt as if he had lost something important in his heart, and tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.

"Yan Shisan!"

Xie Chengyin's cold voice came from a distance, and Qicun arrived suddenly with the secret guards of Yongding Hou.

Shen Zhaoyan looked at Xie Chengyin and waved to Dao Ji, who shouted to the remaining men in black, "Retreat!"

Everyone disappeared into the darkness in an instant, leaving only corpses on the ground and Yan Ci crying while holding Ding Si.

Xie Chengyin ran to Yan Ci, looked at Ding Si who was covered in blood, and touched his neck. The faint pulse gave him a moment of surprise.

"People are still alive."

Yan Ci grabbed Xie Chengyin and said, "Save him!"

Xie Chengyin held Yan Ci's hand back, "Don't worry."

Qicun checked the dead men in black, then took the secret guards to carry Ding Si away.

Xie Chengyin looked deeply in the direction where Shen Zhaoyan left, picked up Yan Ci and left the place.

The night was getting darker and darker, the streets were silent, with only the sound of the night watchman's drumming echoing in the air.

Inside the Yongding Marquis's residence, Xie Chengyi watched his brother carrying Yan Ci back, with a blood-covered person behind him.

"What happened?"

"I'll explain it to my brother later, let's save the people first."

Xie Chengyi looked at Ding Si and said, "Sanchi, go get Doctor Chu."

Sanchi ran out in a hurry.

Ding Si was seriously injured, but he was lucky to be alive.

If Yan Ci hadn't kept pulling Xie Chengyin to save him before he fainted, Xie Chengyin would have given up long ago.

Chu He was an extremely experienced old military doctor. He had followed Xie Chengyi in the Huwei Army and treated many seriously injured people. However, when he saw the injuries on Ding Si's body, he couldn't help but shook his head.

The injuries are too severe to be saved.

Although Ding Si had many new wounds on his body, he also had many old wounds, even many scars from years past, which made Chu He feel frightened.

If it were someone else, he would have died with so many injuries, but the person in front of him was still hanging on to his last breath and living tenaciously.

After a lot of effort, Chu He stopped the bleeding, applied medicine and bandaged the wounds of all sizes. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his heart sank again when he felt the patient's pulse.

Before he joined the Longwu Army as a military doctor, he had traveled extensively for many years and had seen many strange pulse patterns and symptoms. However, the pulse of the man in front of him who had just been saved was so strange that he didn't know what to do.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Xie Chengyi who was waiting beside him: "Looking at this man's pulse, he should have been poisoned by a Gu. Originally, the Gu would have been there as long as he was alive, but now, the Gu is dead. With his current body, it is not easy to forcibly draw out the deadly Gu, unless we know what kind of Gu it is and find a corresponding solution."

"It's a mother-child Gu, and it needs the blood of a close relative to cure it."

Xie Chengyin's voice came from the door, and Xie Chengyin and Chu He looked at him together.

"Ah Yin, since you know about this Gu, then go find his relatives, otherwise it will be difficult to save him."

Chu He nodded.

Xie Chengyin frowned, "I don't know where his relatives are."

Chu He said: "How could it be? Then who killed the Gu? Since it is a mother-child Gu, the one who killed the Gu must be the one who can cure it. Judging from his physical condition, the Gu insect must have died not long ago, so the one who killed the Gu should have been by his side at the time."

Xie Chengyin's eyes shone, "What did you say? You said the person who killed Gu is right next to him!"
