While everyone was busy, Jiang Yuan planned to strip off all the clothes on Xie Yunxiao. His attention was just on his right shoulder and he just glanced at other places.

Now that I looked carefully, I realized that his clothes were stuck to the wounds in many places. I picked up the scissors and started cutting open the sleeves and trouser legs.

Whenever there was a wound, he could see Xie Yunxiao's hands tightly grasping the bed sheet, with veins bulging. He didn't dare let him faint, so he could only keep talking to him.

"What's going on? It doesn't look easy for you to go to Dongshan County to suppress bandits."

Xie Yunxiao closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and could only hum.

Jiang Yuan took the opportunity to tear open his clothes to avoid the wound, and Xie Yunxiao was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Tell me about it. If you die, I can help you beat the drum to redress your grievances."

Although his brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly, Xie Yunxiao still smiled and took a deep breath. “I’m afraid I can’t explain it clearly.”

"You're going back to Beijing by yourself? Why are you so bold?"

"No, there were ten people who came back together, but we were killed on the way. Only I am left." Xie Yunxiao spoke intermittently. When he spoke now it was as if he was letting out a breath, his clenched teeth loosened and he trembled in pain.

"It seems that something big has really happened. The Princess and Prince Anyang have been very busy lately. They stay in the palace for a whole day. General Zhang Xi went to the camp to inspect the troops. Everything is so unusual." After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Xie Yunxiao opened his eyes with anxiety on his face.

Holding the cloth on the outside of his thigh, the cloth in this place was also stuck to the wound. While Xie Yunxiao was distracted, Jiang Yuan said, "On the 15th, during the Lantern Festival, more than a dozen men in black suddenly appeared on the main street and hacked at the people. The people in the capital suffered heavy casualties, and nothing has been found out so far."

"What, ah~" Xie Yunxiao couldn't help shouting out, and immediately closed his mouth, his whole body began to tremble.

Jiang Yuan did not make any other moves, waiting for him to recover. "Second sister, your hand is so cruel." He uttered these words from between his teeth. Although it was painful, the corners of his mouth raised, and it was obvious that he wanted to laugh again.

Looking at his appearance, Jiang Yuan was speechless. This guy has such a good mentality. He is in so much pain, but he is still happy.

Qu Ying rushed in with something in her hand, ran to the bedside, and before she could say anything, she screamed and turned around abruptly.

Xie Yunxiao was now lying on the bed with his upper body naked and his trouser legs torn to his thighs. Fortunately, his buttocks were not injured, otherwise his buttocks would be exposed.

He took the thing from her hand and said, "What time is it? There is no distinction between men and women in treating illnesses. If you can't see it, go get some water."

Qu Ying nodded and ran out to fetch some water.

Xie Yunxiao also calmed down a little. He was now like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others. He didn't want to be stripped naked by a girl, but he didn't have the ability to resist.

Think about how quickly and decisively Jiang Yuan killed people. Not to mention that he is only breathing his last breath now, even if he was in his prime, if Jiang Yuan wanted to strip him of his clothes, he might not be able to resist.

He gave a helpless smile and looked at Jiang Yuan who was pouring wine into the bowl, "Second sister, you have seen me, you have to be responsible, otherwise no one will want me."

Jiang Yuan poured the wine and said with a smile, "Why? I saved you out of kindness, but you are trying to blackmail me, are you trying to scam me?"

This word was new to him, so Xie Yunxiao asked back, "What does 碰瓷儿 mean?"

"This is called fraud. Okay, just bear with it." He walked to the bedside with wine and cotton cloth. His wounds were all knife and arrow wounds and had to be disinfected.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he glanced at the bowl of white wine and nodded.

I folded the cotton cloth in my hand and handed it to him, letting him bite it. This was really more than just simple pain.

"Fu Yun, let Xiao Wu come in to help." Jiang Yuan said to Fu Yun who was tearing cotton cloth.

There were a total of four guards left in Huangjue Temple. Two of them went back to Beijing to report the news, one went to the town's clinic to get medicine, and only the youngest, Xiaowu, was left guarding outside the yard.

"Siyun, Luzhu, the two of you guard the yard. Be alert and shout loudly if anything happens." When Xiaowu came over, he could only ask the two maids to be careful in the yard.

When the two saw Xie Yunxiao, who looked like a bloody man, they realized that something big must have happened. They held each other's hands tightly, stood at the door, and nodded seriously to Jiang Yuan.

Seeing Xie Yunxiao, Xiao Wu couldn't help but frown. How could this young General Xie be so injured? His whole body was covered in blood.

Some of the wounds seemed to have been simply treated, but they were also opened again. The difference between the new and old wounds showed how thrilling his journey back was.

"Xiao Wu, hold him down. I need to pull out the arrow first, otherwise he will move around when applying the medicine, which will make the wound on his right shoulder worse." After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Xiao Wu had already stood at the head of the bed, lifted up the bed curtain, and held Xie Yunxiao's shoulder. "General Xie, I'm sorry."

Jiang Yuan held cotton cloth in one hand, ready to stop his bleeding at any time, while Fu Yun stood by the bed with hemostatic powder on standby.

The arrow was shot from behind and pierced through his right shoulder. The back half of the arrow was cut off by Xie Yunxiao with his sword, leaving only a little bit.

The tip of the arrow passed through his shoulder, leaving a palm-length part. Jiang Yuan's hand was not big, so it was just enough to hold the protruding part.

He looked up at Xiaowu, took two deep breaths, clenched his fists tightly, and pulled the arrow out in one go.

The veins on Xie Yunxiao's neck and temples were stretched in pain, his face and neck turned red, and he grabbed the bed sheets with both hands so tightly that one could even hear the sound of bones breaking in his fists.

Xiaowu also pressed his shoulders hard to prevent him from jumping up due to pain.

He pulled out the arrow with his right hand, covered the wound with the cotton cloth in his left hand, threw away the broken arrow, took the hemostatic powder from Fu Yun, sprinkled it on the wound, and then pressed it with the cotton cloth.

Xie Yunxiao had almost fainted from the pain, but fortunately, his breathing was still steady.

The three of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"It doesn't matter if he faints. The other injuries need to be disinfected." Xiao Wu helped bandage the wound on his shoulder, stood at the head of the bed again, and put his hand on Xie Yunxiao's shoulder.

Use strong liquor to disinfect, otherwise it may cause pain and wake him up, so prevent him from moving around.

While applying medicine to other injuries, Xie Yunxiao subconsciously moved a few times due to the pain, frowned and groaned, but fortunately, he did not move too much.

After applying medicine and bandaging the wound, Jiang Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.

The four basins on the ground were all filled with blood. Fu Yun and Xiao Wu took the water out and poured it out, then replaced it with clean water.

Xiaowu took out a set of his own clothes and gave them to Xie Yunxiao to change into, and also changed the quilt into a clean one.

"A Yuan, Xie Yunxiao's forehead is so hot, will anything happen to him?" Qu Ying touched Xie Yunxiao's forehead and it was terribly hot.

Jiang Yuan washed his hands and poured himself some water. "He has so many wounds on his body, he must have a fever. Lu Zhu went to boil the medicine. We have to wait for the doctor in the capital to come and take a look at the rest."

"What's going on?" Qu Ying had just finished speaking when the sound of a copper basin falling to the ground and a maid screaming were heard in the yard.
