Chapter 492: Dayu City Events
After only a few days, with Li Changxiao by his side, Wang Ruyi's mental and physical condition gradually improved. However, he often felt ashamed and annoyed about it.
Now, she is unable to take care of herself. She is covered in a black robe and needs to be fed most of her food. Her feelings, mixed with shyness and joy, are indescribable in words.
The vocal cords had not healed for a long time, so Li Changxiao thought about it and decided to treat them. However, because he was worried about the hidden fruit under his clothes, he did not use his spiritual energy. It just so happened that he had some knowledge of worldly medicine.
So, they went up the mountain to collect the herbs, put them on the fire and boiled them according to a certain proportion. After four or five processes, they made a paste that could be applied to the throat to heal the throat injury.
To ensure its medicinal properties, Li Changxiao took two bites. It was neither salty nor bland, with a strong herbal flavor, and surprisingly not unpalatable.
The medicinal properties are quite good. If anyone has a sore throat, applying this ointment can cure it.
Li Changxiao suddenly had an idea that perhaps he could imitate this process and create a new dish.
There was a hole at the collar of the robe. Li Changxiao passed the plaster through the hole and applied it to Wang Ruyi's throat. Feeling the coolness, Wang Ruyi's brows relaxed and he felt very comfortable.
The cooling effect of the medicine penetrated the skin and into the flesh, causing a slight numbness and a slight itchy sensation in the throat as if a feather was tickling it.
The ointment was indeed effective. After two or three days, one morning, Wang Ruyi spoke. Her voice was no longer hoarse like sandpaper, but as crisp as a yellow oriole, melodious and beautiful.
Li Changxiao greeted him with a smile, took out the plaster and threw it on the ground.
She could speak, but when facing the man in white, she had a thousand words to say, but she didn't know how to say them. She looked at him for a long time, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Soon her face turned red with shame, and she just turned away.
There were more and more bandits in that evil mountain, and they were a mixed bag. After traveling there for a long time, he would always encounter a few groups of them, but they were just a mob. Li Changxiao took a branch and waved it in a few strokes, and he solved the problem completely.
Wang Ruyi stared with his eyes sparkling. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu killed people in a bloody and cruel manner. They especially loved to mutilate people's limbs before putting an end to them.
Li Changxiao was different. He killed people in an easy and poetic way. He could kill one person with one step. It was simple and neat, without any blood splattering or messy scenes.
……
Because of Wang Ruyi's consideration, the group's speed was not fast, even slow, but Li Changxiao was not in a hurry at all.
Although saving Wang Ruyi was out of his heart, how could he not see that Wang Ruyi was a key node? He walked slowly along the way, but it was Ji Beiming and others who should be anxious.
Another bandit blocked the way, so Li Changxiao went straight to the mountain stronghold and wiped them out. When he searched for items, he didn't like the gold, silver, treasures, cloth and silk, but he had a special liking for a horse.
He put all the gold, silver, treasures, cloth and silk into a bag, tied it to the saddle, and led the horse down the mountain. As Wang Ruyi had difficulty walking, she placed him under a big tree.
Seeing Li Changxiao from afar, his face lit up with joy and he ran towards him. When he reached Li Changxiao, he pretended to fall down and suddenly fell into his arms. His face trembled with shame, but his eyes were cunning.
Li Changxiao was very helpless. Seeing Wang Ruyi like this, hesitant to speak, how could he not see it? However, he also knew very well that emotions are not like hands and feet, which can be controlled at will.
At this moment...even if he tried to persuade her with words, it would be useless and would hurt that person's heart. All his thoughts turned into a sigh.
Li Changxiao had previously attacked several mountain strongholds, but had never seen horses. Seeing horses in this mountain stronghold indicated that there might be a human settlement nearby. However, even if there was a human settlement in such a poor and remote place, it would probably be in chaos.
It might be difficult to find the person who knows the secrets of the Heavenly Dao, but no matter what, it will not be a wrong decision to go into that city first.
Li Changxiao carried Wang Ruyi onto the horse and led the horse forward. Wang Ruyi bit her lip lightly, feeling disappointed, but at least she wouldn't have to tire her legs for the rest of the journey, which was a good thing.
As her vocal cords recovered, the two of them communicated more and more. Li Changxiao first asked her about the affairs of the court. Wang Ruyi did not hide anything and said frankly that she was the empress of Dayu.
When revealing his identity, Wang Ruyi laughed at himself and asked Li Changxiao if it was the first time he saw the emperor in such an embarrassed state.
Li Changxiao pondered for a moment and nodded seriously. This was the first time he had seen it.
Wang Ruyi was secretly ashamed and annoyed. Shouldn't he have said something to comfort her? Why did he admit it?
During the conversation, Li Changxiao learned the general situation.
Wang Ruyi's experience was indeed caused by Xiaozhen and his group. Wang Ruyi was originally the emperor of Dayu, and he controlled the government and worked diligently, and gradually achieved results. At least he could hear a few good words from the people, which was the best.
However, one night, after she finished her duties, she found two figures beside her bed when she undressed to sleep. She was furious and thought someone was trying to assassinate her. However, before she could say anything, she fell asleep.
Later, she was locked up in a small courtyard for about two or three days. When she saw Xiaozhen again, she had her own face on and had brought along instruments for stripping her name.
It was also from that moment that she fell into the boundless hell. Her limbs were held down by the eunuchs, her arms were twisted behind her back and wrapped with the rope of sin. When she could not move anymore, they took out the mud and smeared it on her face layer by layer.
During the whole process, no matter how she resisted, it was of no use. Finally, she took out the robe and spent three days and three nights to put it on completely. Then the next day, she was exiled and stripped of her name. She left Dayu City and embarked on a long and arduous journey.
Thinking of this, Wang Ruyi is still afraid. When she talked about this, her eyes couldn't help but become moist. She couldn't imagine how bleak the ending of her life would be if she hadn't met Li Changxiao.
Maybe it was because he was crying too hard or for some other reason, but Wang Ruyi fell off his horse. Li Changxiao caught him helplessly.
This woman, although she only felt sorry for herself, was really not a good person. She was very scheming. When she saw Li Changxiao taking her, she made a request.
She wanted to walk with Li Changxiao because she was really afraid of heights.
After saying this, her eyes welled up with tears again and she looked at Li Changxiao pitifully.
It was said to be walking, but actually it meant riding a horse. Li Changxiao had a slight headache and was hesitant to say something, but finally agreed.
He helped Wang Ruyi back onto the horse, then sat on it himself, holding the reins and walking slowly.
Wang Ruyi had never been so peaceful before, and before he knew it, he had fallen into a snore. Li Changxiao looked at the road ahead, not knowing whether this was right or wrong.
