Confused Escort Confused Account

The three of them left Fengxian Tower, and it was almost midnight.

It was late at night, and the hustle and bustle in the casino not only did not stop, but intensified, creating a colorful scene in the deep night.

Zhao Shitu had already walked a certain distance, but he couldn't help but look back, the pavilion across the street was shrouded in colorful rainbows, people's shadows overlapped, and the singing and dancing continued, as if they were never tired.

This is the place where he and Shangguan met for the first time, and Na still clearly remembered that night, the two escaped through the back door, and they had a brief rest here.At that time, Shangguanqing had a dull expression on his face, and he ran all the way by his arm, completely unaware of what happened, Zhao Shitu looked at his blank look, and couldn't help laughing and bent over.

Doesn't every encounter have a coincidental beginning? At that time, Zhao Shitu had no money and no name, and ran an unreputable bodyguard agency.

At this moment, Shangguanqing was leaning on his shoulder, breathing shortly, his complexion was gray, his eyes were sunk in the shadow of his eye sockets, and his gaze was cast into the distance.Zhao Shitu couldn't see his eyes clearly, but felt the weight on his shoulders getting heavier and heavier, squeezing his internal organs, and the cold wind pouring into his mouth and nose turned into fire, burning his body, skin and mind.

Although the original person was still by his side, his life was only ten days.The lights on the other side of the street are still there, but the personnel and affairs are completely different.Sadness and joy are separated by this line.

Ming Yuezhu was still holding Ziyun Ding, hesitantly said: "Can we go to Yuan's Mansion if we want? I see Shangguan's current situation, it's better to rest first."

Zhao Shitu withdrew his gaze, looked at the vast darkness on the other side, nodded and said, "What you said is, let's go back to the Escort Bureau first." Then he turned to the people around him, lowered his eyes and asked, "Shangguan, are you cold? , can you still walk?"

Shangguanqing turned his head slightly, and replied lightly: "It's okay."

The indifferent tone of the other party deepened Zhao Shitu's uneasiness, and he even hoped that Shangguanqing would show more emotions, even if he said a word of complaint.

But he just swallowed all his thoughts like every time he was injured, without frowning, as if life and death were just someone else's business and had nothing to do with him.

The escort agency was empty, and it had been empty for several days. Zhao Shitu was busy going in and out of Yuan's mansion these days, and he didn't even come back once.

Zhao Shitu walked across the yard and helped the person on his shoulders into the bedroom.

Shangguan Qing's consciousness became more and more fuzzy, I don't know if it was because he was tired, or because Xiao Ran's elixir had worked.He didn't look distressed, just squinted and dazed.Zhao Shitu took off his blood-stained coat, helped him lie flat on the bed, wiped off the blood on his mouth with a towel, and carefully covered him with a quilt. After doing this, he turned to Mingyuezhu and said, "We Let's go to the yard."

The yard is as deserted as the room, and the moon is full in the sky, reflected on the remnant snow.No one stepped on it for a few days, and the snow covered the ground with a thick layer, faintly glowing crimson under the moonlight.

The moonlight seems to have some kind of strange power, even the pure white snow has the color of blood.

This strange snow color just reflected the sad faces of the people in the courtyard.

Zhao Shitu said to Mingyuezhu: "I didn't intend to conceal Shangguan's life experience, but I only found out recently, and he didn't want me to tell it out, so as not to cause trouble for us."

Ming Yuezhu said softly: "I naturally understand that although you two have different temperaments, you are exactly the same when you are stubborn."

Zhao Shitu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid he is better than me. It's the first time I've heard that the secret book of Rakshasa Kungfu he practiced has been tampered with."

Ming Yuezhu said: "The tampered Rakshasa Kung Fu cheat book, why did the Yuan Mansion appear in the Yuan Mansion, who tampered with it, is this related to Master Yuan's death?"

Zhao Shitu shook his head and said: "I don't know, if you can catch the person of Yashamen, maybe you can ask the truth, but Shangguan doesn't have much time..."

Ten days, Shangguan Qing's life is only ten days left, if he can't think of another way, he will never wake up again... Thinking of this, Zhao Shitu felt like a knife was twisting his heart, and he didn't have the courage to think about it any more.

When arguing with Xiao Ran, he was still able to say "the lesser of two evils is the lesser of two evils". At this moment, he realized how stupid he was at that time.

Can he really watch his friend die for the sake of righteousness? Shangguanqing never abandoned him, that person had very little, but gave him a frank heart without hesitation.God's will is so tricky, doesn't that person have endured enough suffering in his life?

He couldn't answer, he could only stare blankly at the bronze tripod in Mingyuezhu's hand.In the night, the color of the tripod became a bit colder.His gaze stayed on it, and from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of the scroll in the sleeve of the Bright Moon Pearl.

It was the medical genealogy left by the genius doctor Xiao Ling, which was also brought out by Mingyuezhu.

Zhao Shitu's expression froze, and he said eagerly, "Azhu, take that medical record and have a look."

Mingyuezhu was startled at first, but quickly understood, took out the medical manual from her sleeve, and unfolded it in front of her. The two of them scanned the pages one by one under the moonlight. The manual contained all kinds of strange prescriptions, Zhao Shitu Although I don't have advanced medical skills, I can somewhat understand the prescriptions written by others.The more he read, the more surprised he became.

As the saying goes, three parts of medicine are poisonous. Among the prescriptions recorded by Xiao Ling, many of them are poisonous raw materials, such as spider venom, tripterygium thorns, red letter stone powder... It seems that Xiao Ling is not only superb in medicine, but also experienced in medicine. human courage.

It's a pity that most of the prescriptions are marked with obsolete comments at the end. Zhao Shitu turned over all the way, his heart getting heavier and heavier, as if he was twiddling between his fingers instead of pages of books, but hopes that were fading away.

"Take the ice lotus plant on the top of the snow-capped mountain, pick fresh leaves and put it into Ziyun Ding, supplement it with red arsenic, oleander, and astragalus to refine it, and the purple air will generate smoke, which can detoxify all kinds of poisons..."

The notes ended here, and it seems that Xiao Ling hadn't had time to verify the effect of this prescription before his death.

Ming Yuezhu frowned and said: "It is written in the medical book that ice lotus plants are only born in the ice field, the number is extremely rare, and the leaves will wither when exposed to high temperatures. In addition to the ice lotus, two of the other three are deadly poisons... Could it be that this Purple Cloud Cauldron can really turn decay into magic?"

Zhao Shitu gritted his teeth and said, "This is the last chance. If it is really effective, maybe even the poison of mercury in the elixir can be removed, and Shangguan will not die."

Ming Yuezhu hesitated and said: "But the hope is so slim..."

Zhao Shitu firmly said: "No matter how elusive it is, I have to give it a try."

Ming Yuezhu shook her head and said: "This Purple Cloud Cauldron should be destroyed immediately, if you take it away privately, not to mention the Yuan Mansion, even the gang of martial arts disciples in the mansion will not let you go easily, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Shitu said: "All the way north from Dunhuang is the Qilian Snow Mountain. If you hurry up, you can reach it in three days. I will go to the pharmacy to sell all the herbs tomorrow morning, and then I will take Shangguan together and set off to find ice lotus plants."

Ming Yuezhu asked him: "Have you thought about it? If you leave, you will lose your faith, and this bodyguard agency will also become a target of public criticism, and there may be no day to turn around."

Zhao Shitu gritted his teeth and said: "After ten days, regardless of success or failure, I will send Ziyun Ding back, and I will bear the consequences of treachery alone. Ah Zhu, if you see Brother Yan, you will say that I am determined to go my own way. I won't embarrass you."

Ming Yuezhu stared at him for a long time, finally shook her head and said: "The two poisons you want are not available in ordinary pharmacies, so you should leave them to me. At sunrise, I will send the medicines to the east gate, and you and Shangguan will take care of them." Pack your bags and wait for me there."

Zhao Shitu was stunned: "I violated my promise, don't you blame me?"

Ming Yuezhu said: "Love and righteousness have always been inseparable. I have always believed that a cold and heartless person is not enough to talk about loyalty."

Zhao Shitu stared at her for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, and said seriously: "Azhu, thank you."

Ming Yuezhu raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "You don't need to thank me, you should keep your good luck to yourself."

After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath, looked around the familiar courtyard for a week, and finally landed on Zhao Shitu.

This glance carried too much emotion, and it overshadowed all words.She didn't say anything, just turned and disappeared into the night.

Zhao Shitu watched her back go away, then returned to the room, and called: "Shangguan, I will take you there..."

Before he finished speaking, he froze in place, his eyes widened in astonishment.

The room is empty, the quilt on the bed has been lifted, and Shangguan Qing has disappeared.
