Chapter 148 Rescue
Chapter 148 Rescue
While Fenghuang was dealing with these people, Xiao Jinyu had already applied medicine to Gao Changgong and bandaged his wounds.
Lu Yuyi ran out at this time, looking around for Gao Changgong with an anxious look, but saw that the situation on the deck was tense. He immediately understood what was going on. He drew the sword at his waist, pointed it at the enemies, walked to Gao Changgong, and whispered something in his ear.
Gao Changgong and Xiao Jinyu went to the cabin.
Lu Yu followed.
Li Mi was also curious and continued, "Yes, Nie Yinniang, who on earth asked you to assassinate Lanling King of Qi?"
As he spoke, he drew out a sword and pointed it at the assassins.
At the same time, he said to Fenghuang, "Boy, we will handle this, you take this Lady Nie to the cabin to have a look!"
Fenghuang thanked him and took Nie Yinniang to the large cabin No. 2 on the ship, which was where Gao Changgong's guards rested.
When Xiao Jinyu and Lanling Wang first arrived here, they saw that dozens of people who were originally dressed as a caravan were all unconscious.
"It's a kind of incense that makes people go into a dream!" Xiao Jinyu explained after looking at it.
When she said this, a look of surprise appeared on Nie Yinniang's face.
"My dear lady, no, Princess, can they wake up again?"
When he came in to call them just now, he saw that they were sleeping like dead pigs and could not be awakened no matter how he called. Lu Yu thought that these people were dead. After checking their breathing and pulse, he found that they were still alive. However, no matter what method he used, whether it was shouting, kicking or hammering, these people just would not wake up!
"Hehe, if we can't wake them up within an hour, they will die in their dreams!" Nie Yinniang laughed and said, "This medicine is called 'Drunken Life and Dreamy Death'!"
"That's a good name! So..." Xiao Jinyu's eyes narrowed, and she said, "You were the one who gave Princess Yunyin the poison, right?"
"You can say that I was entrusted by someone!"
Xiao Jinyu called out "Phoenix", and Phoenix understood what she meant and threw a white porcelain bottle into her hands.
She gave it to Lu Yu again: "Give it to them!"
Lu Yu couldn't help but say yes with great joy, and quickly gave the pills in the bottle to the sleepy guards one by one.
But the amount of pills is limited and can only be given to half of the people.
What about the remaining people?
Just as Lu Yu was worried, he saw that Xiao Jinyu had a dagger in her hand, and it drew a red line on her wrist.
"What are you doing?" Gao Changgong asked anxiously, with pain in his eyes.
"Bring me a lamp, or my blood will be wasted!"
Lu Yu quickly took out a glass cup and collected the blood flowing from Xiao Jinyu's wrist.
I was both scared and shocked.
"Princess, this is..."
"My blood also has detoxifying effects!" Xiao Jinyu explained.
For a moment, tears welled up in Lu Yu's eyes, not to mention Fenghuang beside him, who wanted to run over to stop him, but Nie Yinniang was still in his hand as a hostage, so he could not move.
"You have the antidote, do you?" Fenghuang asked at this time, and the dagger drew a bloody mark on Nie Yinniang's neck.
"Yes, so what? I'm afraid your brother Qing doesn't believe in my antidote and would rather cut his wrist and bleed to detoxify!"
"But I am curious, does her blood really have the effect of curing all kinds of poisons?"
"Enough!" Seeing that Xiao Jinyu's face was turning pale, Gao Changgong quickly snatched her hand, smeared the ointment she had just applied to him, and then wrapped it with white silk.
At this time, he turned his cold gaze towards Nie Yinniang. This look even made Nie Yinniang feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave and her whole body was cold. He suddenly picked up Lu Yu's sword and stabbed it into her chest.
"Chang Gong, don't kill her yet!"
The sword penetrated the flesh, and was only an inch away from piercing the heart. It was at this inch that Gao Changgong stopped his force.
"What Fenghuang said just now is what I want to say. If you can switch to me, I can't give you more than 100,000 yuan..."
Nie Yinniang had already vomited a large mouthful of blood at this moment. She covered the wound on her chest with her hand, looked at Xiao Jinyu, and then looked at the guards who had been knocked unconscious by her intoxicating fragrance.
But the guards who drank Xiao Jinyu's blood woke up one by one.
These people were said to be Han warriors and Baibao Xianbei, each of them was an elite who could fight one against a hundred. She did not kill them just now because she wanted to use drugs to control them and use them for her own purposes. But now, they all woke up one by one.
This young lady's blood really can counteract her poison.
Assassin Nie Yinniang, who was born with a keen sense of danger, quickly turned around and fled out of the cabin.
Fenghuang wanted to chase after him, but Xiao Jinyu stopped him.
"Let them go! These people are seeking a living, not being loyal to any master. Good birds choose trees to roost in, and they will make the right choice!"
"And now we need them to sail the boat across the Luliang Flood!"
If she guessed correctly, these people chose to take action at this place, or their employers behind them asked them to take action here, in order to create the illusion that the ship encountered a turbulent storm, causing the people on the ship to fall into the water and die.
However, this plan was too crude, and if it went wrong, everyone on the ship might die.
It was obvious that these assassins were not determined to die! Nie Yinniang was probably not familiar with this route.
After Xiao Jinyu said this, Gao Changgong and Lu Yu seemed to remember that Nie Yinniang was the owner of this ship, and none of them had any experience in driving a ship.
But this assassin was too smart. He had already prepared to lure them into the trap when they boarded the ship.
How did she figure out their identities?
As they were thinking, their eyes all fell on her wrist wrapped in white silk.
The young lady's body was already delicate, and after losing so much blood, she looked even more fragile and beautiful in a way that was heartbreaking.
"You don't have to look at me like that, I'm fine!" Xiao Jinyu said with a smile.
"The princess gave so much blood as a medicine to treat us, the guards who were supposed to protect the prince and princess. How can this be nothing?" Lu Yu almost cried as he said, "The prince must be heartbroken!"
Gao Changgong's eyes were indeed filled with pain and anger.
At this time, after listening to Lu Yu's words and understanding what had happened, the guards all knelt down.
"Thank you, Princess, for saving me with your blood!!"
"Please take care of yourself, Princess!"
Xiao Jinyu asked them to stand up. When they stood up, the guards looked at Xiao Jinyu with more admiration in their eyes.
Originally, when the prince wanted them to help this young lady intervene in the affairs of Southern Chen, they were not very willing to do so. Seeing that the girl was so stunningly beautiful, they were also afraid that it would bring disaster to the prince. After all, most of the royal family and ministers of Northern Qi did not dare to keep concubines who were too beautiful at home, for fear that they would bring about a fatal disaster like Yuan Mao.
Several people were chatting in the cabin, but outside there were already roaring waves and rapids.
"Go out and have a look!"
Xiao Jinyu said, and several people walked out of the cabin one after another. When they walked out of the cabin door, Xiao Jinyu saw that Fenghuang's eyes were even redder, and she seemed to have wiped away tears, so she called out: "Fenghuang! Thank you for what you did just now!"
Hearing the thank you, Phoenix felt even more upset.
"Now that my brother Qing has Prince Lanling, does that mean we are alienated from each other?"
"No!" Xiao Jinyu immediately replied.
"Brother Qing likes him very much, right?"
Xiao Jinyu was slightly stunned, then nodded.
"I don't know why I feel so bad, but when I grow up, I think I should understand. If Brother Qing still likes him and treats you well, then Phoenix will leave!"
After the boy finished speaking, he quickly ran out of the cabin. At that time, the confrontation outside the cabin had ended. The seriously injured Nie Yinniang simply treated her wounds and ordered the trackers to quickly lower the sails and avoid the strong winds and waves.
