Chapter 236 Joint
I was delighted and poured some water into the pastry plate, crushed the pastry into a paste, and fed it to him little by little.
He was dazed and suddenly called out, "Lanxiang."
I shuddered and looked at him intently.
He still closed his eyes and murmured, "You lied to me..."
I bit my lips tightly, and the overwhelming sadness overwhelmed me like a flood.
I tasted a hint of blood in my mouth and held back my tears.
After slowly feeding him a cake, I calmed down and thought about what to do next.
All we have to do is wait for the contact person, get the pass, and send us to the west gate. Xiao Shun has prepared a carriage waiting outside the gate, and we can go straight to Qingqiu.
We go home, and I can tell him that I didn't betray him.
As I thought of this, I heard light footsteps outside.
A man wearing a straw raincoat walked into the door on the water.
I looked up and saw that it was Master Huang whom I had met in Qingqiu.
He saw me and didn't seem surprised at all. He said, "It's cool tonight."
He is the contact person.
But on second thought, his base camp is in Xiyan City, so the title of local snake is well deserved.
I continued, "Brother, why not drink some cold wine to warm yourself up."
He smiled and said, "I never thought I would meet an old friend."
I had no intention of catching up with him. I just looked at him coldly and said, "Master Huang, you are late."
He smiled awkwardly and replied, "It's... raining! I was afraid that my pass would get wet, so I went back to get my raincoat and box." After saying that, he reached into his arms, took out a small wooden box and shook it.
I walked towards him and held out my hand.
He pulled the box back and said, "Hey, girl, don't be impatient! Let's talk about the past again?"
I stared at him and said, "Do you think I have the time and mood to talk to you in this situation? If you have something to say, just say it."
Finally, he took off his fake smile and replaced it with a sinister one: "Before, I didn't know it was him I was going to send away. Now people are digging deep to find him outside. The risk is too great. I want to pay more."
"Okay, how much do you want?"
"Add another 100,000 taels. And the Tushan family's wine and beverage business in Xiyan City."
"Deal. But I don't have it now, you have to go to Qingqiu to ask Master Chunming for it later." I agreed immediately.
He rolled his eyes and smiled, "You are so straightforward, girl! But I need a token of my love."
I pulled the hairpin off Tushan Jing's head and threw it to him: "Master Chunming, you know this is the young master's personal belongings, and it has the seal of the Tushan family engraved on it."
Master Huang lowered his head and examined the hairpin carefully. Seeing that it was indeed engraved with the Tushan family crest, he put it away with confidence and handed the small box to me.
I took the box and opened it, and saw two passes lying quietly inside, not looking fake.
"Then let's set off now?" I said to Master Huang.
"Wait a minute, I see Young Master Qingqiu is seriously injured..." Master Huang peered over from behind me.
I thought of Tu Shanjing's eyes. There was no other way. I could only ask him not to harm Tu Shanjing for the sake of the 100,000 taels of silver. "He has injuries all over his body... especially his eyes. Can you please help take a look?"
Master Huang nodded, walked forward, bent down and gently opened Tu Shanjing's eyes, took a look, took a breath of cold air, and said: "Not good, if his injury is not treated, he may go blind if it is delayed for too long!"
I was a little suspicious that he was asking for a higher price, so I asked, "Then... what does Mr. Huang say about the treatment?"
Master Huang pondered for a moment and replied, "He was injured by his spiritual power. His eyes are delicate parts. Ordinary medicine can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. We need to use spiritual power to treat him."
I looked at him suspiciously. Mr. Huang was good at reading people's expressions when doing business, so he naturally understood what I meant. He laughed dryly, "I'm not lying to you, really. Even if I rescue him, if he goes blind and blames me for not treating him well, do you think I'd offend him and the entire Tushan clan?"
I thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so I bowed and said, "Don't blame me, Master Huang. I was too nervous and suspicious tonight. I wonder if Master Huang can help me with this? I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Master Huang waved his hand and said, "Hey, this is just a side job. If I take your money again, people will say I'm dishonest. I can only give you the method to deal with him, but you have to figure out how to generate the spiritual power yourself."
I was stunned. Time was pressing and I couldn't go find those shadow guards to get each of them to give some spiritual power to him.
Seeing my hesitation, Master Huang urged me, "Hurry up! It will take time to cure him, and I'm afraid we can't go out through the west gate! You have to follow me to the south gate, which is not so heavily guarded. If you can't find spiritual power input when you go out of the south gate at dawn, his eyes may never recover!"
I made up my mind and asked, "Can I use mine?"
Master Huang looked at me and said, "It's not impossible. But you have to think about it carefully. It will take four hundred years of spiritual power. I see that you are not very old. If you take away these four hundred years of spiritual power, it will be difficult for you to maintain your human form."
I thought about going with him. Revealing my true form would only cause some trouble on the way. I would definitely find a way when I return to Qingqiu. Apart from anything else, the shadow guards would just need to transfer some spiritual power to me, which would be enough for me to maintain my human form. I nodded and said, "If you have thought about it, use mine. And the deep bone wound on your face, can it be cured?"
Master Huang lifted him up and said to me, "Okay, it can be cured. Just give him another fifty years of spiritual power to heal this flesh wound. You've lost your four hundred years anyway, so another fifty years won't make a difference. I'll heal him before we get out of the South City Gate, so that we don't have to deal with any more setbacks on the way without your help. I'll change his appearance so that he won't be so eye-catching."
After saying that, Master Huang stretched out his hand, and a ray of light shone on him. He changed from a man into an ordinary-looking woman, but his body and face were still covered with scars.
Master Huang picked him up and said, "Let's go. If anyone interrogates you, just say that she is my daughter and you are her sister. She fell down the mountain while collecting herbs and is in a hurry to find a doctor. The spell will naturally dissipate in a few days, and she will return to her original appearance."
I responded and followed closely.
Master Huang chose to walk through the hidden streets and alleys, and he had no trouble along the way, avoiding the patrolling soldiers and walking all the way to the vicinity of the South City Gate.
I noticed that the South City Gate was still closed, and I guessed that it was not time to open the gate yet. The sky was already getting light, and there were more people walking around me. There were some people selling breakfast at the street stalls.
I looked at Master Huang. He felt my gaze and said, "Miss Lanxiang, please follow me. Let's wait a while. I will treat his eyes before the city gate opens."
I followed him into the alley next to me. He put Tu Shanjing against the wall and said to me, "I'll go find out what's going on first. If there's no problem, I'll find a carriage to come over. After we get out of the city gate, I'll take you to the original location outside the west gate to meet you. You wait here for me."
I stared at Tu Shanjing intently, responded to him casually, and he left in a hurry.
As soon as he left, a man came up from the alley entrance.
