C136 (1/2)

Xie Jingxi once again tasted the feeling of being struck by lightning. Compared to the time when Gu Yun was heavily injured and his life was uncertain, this time, the scene of him falling into the water seemed to be even more distant and intangible.

According to the attendant, when the boat sank, they found a large amount of floating corpses. There were assassins and some of their own people, but if they couldn't find it, that didn't mean they had to flee, or floated somewhere else. In short, there was a possibility of everything happening on the water, and the more they couldn't find it, the slimmer their chances of survival became.

Because the official ship sent by the His Majesty had gone missing, when the news spread to the Imperial Court, the His Majesty was enraged, and immediately sent people to Tianjin Port, the assassins that were initially hiding in the vicinity of Tianjin Port had already escaped, and even if Gu Yun and the others were dead, there was no trace of them, as if they had disappeared into thin air.

The corpses that they scooped out were arranged in a row on the shore. The identity of the killer was unable to be confirmed, and according to the corpses, Gu Yun and the rest must have gone through a tough battle. There were no bodies belonging to the servants and officials sent by His Majesty inside, which meant that they were either well-protected or captured.

Based on the current situation, the possibility of the latter being alive was very high. If they were protected well, they would not have heard about it now, the difference between kidnapping and murdering the officials of the imperial government and conspiring to commit murder. His Majesty ordered a close investigation, if they wanted to see the corpses of the dead, they had to confirm the tracks of Gu Yun and the others.

While waiting, Gu Wan was the most worried. Gu Wan almost cried out anxiously, ”Wuu, wuu, where did Big Brother go with Sheng Luan and the others? Why is there no news at all?

”Now is not the time to talk about it. I have already told Bai Cao to go around and wait for news, and the King Jin has secretly sent people to look for them, as long as they reach the range of our power, they will definitely be discovered, and I believe that the two of them will not die so easily. The worst case scenario is that they will be captured by people we do not know, and there will be hope as long as they are still alive.”

Xie Jingxi sent people to all the shops to gather information, if there was any news, she would have immediately received it. Two days passed just like that, and Xie Jingxi unexpectedly received news from the Spirit Embroidery Workshop.

It was a letter from Shen Huanzhi, it said that Gu Yun and the rest were currently on his boat, and would arrive in the capital in a short time. It was just that Gu Yun and the rest were all injured, and needed to immediately arrange for a treatment after returning to the capital.

”Is there any news from Big Bro!?”

Gu Wan and Ming Yu looked at Xie Jingxi with hope in their eyes, causing him to nod her head, ”They were saved by Shen Huanzhi, but they may all be severely injured.”

If it were only minor injuries that were not serious or those that he could deal with, Shen Huanzhi would not tell her. If Gu Yun was still conscious, he would definitely notify her immediately. This would only prove that the few of them were on the verge of death.

Xie Jingxi thought for a moment, then decided to bring the person back to the Marquis Mansion. ”Ming Yu, pack up two rooms, prepare clean clothes and the required medicinal ingredients, in case Imperial Physician Pei comes and directly save the person.”

”Madam, are they all seriously injured?” Fang Dai's face was filled with worry and shock, ”How could she be injured at the same time?

Xie Jingxi did not comment, the expression on her face explained everything, and she hoped that Shen Huanzhi could bring them back safely.

Since this matter had alarmed the His Majesty, he could only stay in the Marquis Mansion and let the Imperial Physician Pei step in. As for the other matters, they could only be discussed at a later time. But even if Xie Jingxi was prepared, she was still shocked when she saw Gu Yun and the others. When the three of them were carried back, only Sheng Luan was clear-headed.

General Sheng Luan was already used to it, and looked a little more resistant than the two of them, but it seemed that his leg was injured, so he could only allow others to carry him in. Gu Yun had the heaviest injuries, and his entire face was pale white and unconscious, although it was already bandaged, it was still possible to see that his whole body was covered with blood that seeped out, especially the deepest wound on his abdomen.

Seeing his big brother like that, Gu Wan immediately cried and went forward to slap the half-dead Sheng Luan, ”How did you protect my big brother! Why are you still fine, why is my big brother like this, sob sob, Sheng Luan you bastard … ”

Gu Wan was also in a desperate situation, no matter how she looked at it, General Sheng Luan did not seem to be alright, but when Sheng Luan saw that she was still thinking about reining in a life and death situation, she did not feel good for a moment, and felt guilty in her heart. So she allowed her to beat him up without saying a word, he could not help but failed to protect Gu Yun, and even allowed Gu Yun to stab him in the face.

”Sister-in-law, it's all my fault. In order to save me, Xuanchen suffered this cut, I did not protect him well, you, you better beat me up.”
