Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

When Li Ying woke up, his whole body was icy cold, his eyes were blurred with blood, and he was tied to the stone steps and couldn't move.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, he gritted his teeth and wanted to get up, but the rope that restrained him had torn his flesh and had already stuck to the bone, trapping him in the same place, unable to move even half a step, until the other party came to him and pulled him. His hair pulled him up to look at his pale face by the light of the lamp.

"It is rumored that Master Xiang is the best in the capital. I met you today, and you really deserve your reputation. How can you fall in love with King Jin? You know that it is impossible, but you still bury this affection deep in your heart. It's like a moth. Huo. But Mr. Xiang, you are the real third prince. In terms of seniority, he is your nephew, so you really can do it."

Li Ying had no clue about this strange voice, but instinctively wanted to refute.

But he just said a word "no", and he was beaten violently in a fit of desperation.

The other party was merciless, and the whip hit the weak point of his body fiercely, clearly intending to put him to death.

He gritted his teeth and refused to let himself make a sound, biting his lower lip to the point of bleeding, but the other party not only showed no pity when he saw him, but his attack became even crazier.

Although Li Ying didn't see the face of the perpetrator clearly, but he firmly imprinted the appearance of the hard horsewhip in his hand into his mind. Even if he died and became a lonely ghost, he would return to the world to take revenge! !

After that, he lost consciousness.

He didn't know how long it took before he felt that he was rescued from the cage that had trapped him for a long time.He also woke up several times during the period, but fainted again because of the bone-piercing pain. He went back and forth several times, and was dying when he was found.

And Xiao Beicheng and Junziyou, relying on the few words left by Liu Kai, did find traces of someone who had been here in the long-abandoned ruined temple outside the capital.

Ordinarily, no one has been here for a long time, so it should be dusty and desolate, but when they arrived, the scene was cleaned spotlessly, and even the water marks on the ground were not completely dried.

Gentleman touched the wet soil, carefully checked the deserted temple from inside to outside, and finally found a clue, which was an inconspicuous bloodstain left on the dilapidated outer wall.

The blood melted into the cracks in the wall, and it was extremely difficult to detect. Jun Ziyou believed that this was the clue Li Ying left for them before he was taken away, and said to Xiao Beicheng: "It seems that what happened to the prime minister, my lord , Quickly ask people to check the nearby villages and towns, if the other party's purpose is really Xiangye, they have no reason to take people too far away."

After the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion went to investigate the matter, Jun Ziyou took the map from Jiang Linyuan, used cinnabar to draw circles around the capital, marked them, and said to the guards of the Wang Mansion: "The remaining All the people from the city went into the mountains to search for people, focusing on the valleys and mounds. I think it is unlikely that Xiangye is locked up somewhere, but it is possible... So act quickly, maybe you can be saved!"

His guess is true and cruel, it can be seen that Li Ying's hope of surviving is very slim, he must prepare for the worst.

While Xiao Beicheng admired his calmness, he still had to doubt the other party's intentions.

"If the target is Li Ying, there is no need for the previous two cases to make him lose popular support. This incident is weird from the beginning to the end. You have to be more careful in your actions."

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. It's a very important matter, and I don't dare to make decisions on my own. But you are right, it is true that these people want to kill the prime minister, but this may not be their real purpose."

Xiao Beicheng smelled a hint of danger, narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean..."

"My lord, it's better to return to Beijing as soon as possible. I hope my worries won't come true."

Although he didn't want to leave him alone in such a ghostly place, but he couldn't stand Junziyou's soft-heartedness, Xiao Beicheng had to compromise, and the price was to let Shen Ci stay by his side to protect him, so that he could take care of him in case of an accident.

After he left, Jun Ziyou, who had been smiling all the time, changed his expression and grabbed Jiang Linyuan, "Immediately search for suspicious traces in the valley, and don't let go of any corners that may hide people. Also, invite Doctor Jiang Come to stand by, I feel that Master Xiang may still be alive, if the notification continues, everyone must do their best, otherwise there will be severe punishment!"

"The next officer will go and order."

Half an hour later, Dr. Jiang arrived. Before he could sit down and take a breath, he was informed that he had found something suspicious. He was dragged up by Jun Ziyou just after he sat down, and took him all the way to the valley.

It's extremely hidden here, so it should be difficult to find anything unusual if you don't hide someone yourself.It happened that the guard who came to Xunshan was the son of a woodcutter. He used to follow his father into the mountains to cut firewood.

But others dare not act rashly, they still have to wait for Junziyou to decide for himself, after he arrived, he saw many boulders piled up at the bottom of the valley, much more than other places, obviously suspicious.

He went down to the bottom of the valley and ordered people to clean up the gravel from the edge. It didn't take long before he heard someone shouting in a panic: "Young Qing! Come and see!"

When I got closer, I found that among the stacked rubble, there was a blood-stained hand, which showed that it had been injured for a long time.

At this time, three days had passed since Li Ying's disappearance, Jun Ziyou had no time to think, he moved the gravel with his bare hands, until the whole arm of the person below was exposed, he couldn't wait to take his pulse.

"He's still alive, but he can still be saved! Quickly find Dr. Jiang!!"

The gentleman waved his hand to make Shen Ci come forward, lifted his outer robe, and tore a strip of cloth from his dark bottom shirt.

The latter was puzzled, and the sensible person didn't say much until the guards dug out Li Ying's body. The moment Jun Ziyou saw his face clearly, he immediately covered his eyes and blocked him with the cloth strip he tore off just now. Sight.

"Young Master, this is..."

"If you stay in the dark for too long, you will hurt your eyes when you see the light suddenly. There are many scars on Xiangye's body that can be seen deep into the bones. He must have been abused, so he must be careful."

When Dr. Jiang arrived, a few careless personal guards were about to pull the unconscious Li Ying out of the pile of rocks. He immediately stopped him and said, "No! Don't move him easily!"

As he spoke, he walked quickly to Li Ying's side, and after a preliminary diagnosis of his injury, he made a decisive decision, "Master Xiang is seriously injured, and cannot be sent back on a stretcher, but a wooden board must be used to support the broken bone, as long as it is a flat board, even a door board will do!"

Shen Ci was quite at a loss, "Here, the door panels are not used to carry people to death..."

The gentleman said angrily: "Confused! The living person is more important than the superstition, hurry up!!"

Unable to trust others, he and Dr. Jiang personally cleaned up the gravel on Li Ying's body. His fingertips were covered with blood and flesh, but he didn't know it. He carefully lifted him out of the ruins.

At this time, Li Ying was completely unconscious, and the injured part was only moaning instinctively, the voice was barely audible, only Jun Ziyou heard his weak reaction, and whispered comfort in his ear: "Master Xiang, don't worry, It's all right, we'll take you home."

Li Ying's bones were seriously injured, and he couldn't be sent back to the capital by a horse-drawn carriage, so he had to be carried back by manpower.

Gentleman You thought about it carefully, and thought that there might be more than one traitor in the prime minister's mansion, Liu Wei. Letting Li Ying go back at this time would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. After careful consideration, he decided to send him to the Prince Jin's mansion.

When returning to Beijing, Jun Ziyou covered the bruised and bruised Li Ying with a white cloth, in order not to let others see his desolate state.

But this scene inevitably made people's imagination run wild, and the onlookers thought they had sent a corpse to the palace, and there were many discussions about it.

As soon as he saw Li Ying, Xiao Beicheng regretted it. His helplessness and panic were all written on his face. He ordered people to vacate a clean vacant room to house him, but was declined by Doctor Jiang.

"Don't worry, my lord. Xiangye is seriously injured, and it's difficult to move for the time being. Don't be impatient. I'd better wait for his injury to be diagnosed before making any plans."

Dr. Jiang's medical skills are excellent, Xiao Beicheng naturally does not doubt his ability, but seeing Li Ying's injury is so serious, he can't bear it.

He took Li Ying's slightly trembling hand and placed it in his palm, warming the temperature of his fingertips, but the man didn't see any improvement, as if he just jumped into the abyss of death, no matter how much he stopped him, it was fruitless.

Junziyou asked: "Doctor Jiang, Mr. Xiang has been missing for many days, and he must not have eaten for a long time. Do you want to give him some energy first?"

"I'm just about to talk about this matter. Seeing that Master Xiang is so thin, he has been on a hunger strike for two or three days. If I don't feed him something first, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive."

"Butler Liu, go and instruct the chef of the palace to boil fresh milk and pour it into egg flowers, add more brown sugar and a little salt, and feed it to Lord Xiang to replenish his strength. Doctor Jiang, what is the injury of Lord Xiang, and how long can he last?"

"Mr. Xiang was pushed down the valley, causing many bone injuries all over his body, and almost blinded in one eye. The other party should have pushed down the boulder because he wanted to kill someone to silence him. Fortunately, Mr. Xiang was lucky enough to fall on the rock. In the cracks, life is not a serious problem."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Beicheng heaved a sigh of relief, but before he could relax, what Dr. Jiang said later made his heart hang in his throat again.

"However, Xiangye's waist and right wrist were severely injured, and it may be difficult to recover."

The gentleman You Naran asked: "What... do you mean?"

"Seriously injured his right wrist, Mr. Xiang could no longer write and paint, and his waist was broken... For the rest of his life, he will no longer be able to stand and walk."

There was a sudden crisp cracking sound, as if something in the chest was smashed together, and the deep cracks could no longer be pieced together.

Junziyou lost his mind when he heard the words, and accidentally dropped the water bowl to the ground. He hurriedly leaned over to pick up the pieces of porcelain when he heard the noise.

"If I had stopped Mr. Xiang, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. It was I who killed him..."

The sharp shards went deep into the flesh, causing blood to flow horizontally, but the pain in the body was still no more tormenting than the heartache.

When he was in grief, it was Xiao Beicheng who held his hand, opened his five fingers, threw away the blood-stained fragments, pressed it against his forehead, and said softly: "It's not your fault, I failed to persuade him to change his mind. Incompetent, has nothing to do with you."

"The fault is that we failed to make complete preparations to prevent problems before they happen. When it comes to guilt, we are still the culprit."

After finishing speaking, Jun Ziyou stood up, turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Before Xiao Beicheng could stop him, Junziyou had already fled quickly, causing him to shout angrily at the man's back: "Gunziyou! What are you going to do now, throw yourself into a trap?"

Although the man's tone was dazed, his footsteps were firm, his fists clenched tightly, without any hesitation, and without turning his head, he replied: "I'll go and ask for an explanation for Mr. Xiang."
