Chapter 82: Crisis of the West Wind Kingdom (6)
"Mr. Bai." Qingyou walked to Baili Yao's side.
"It seems like something is coming from outside. Take your sword and have a look quietly."
Baili Yao doesn't know martial arts, and her reactions aren't as quick as those of the martial artists.
Qingyou also listened and said, "Yes." She took the sword and quietly walked to the bedside. She looked outside and suddenly a snake head fell off the bed. Qingyou was quick-eyed and quick-handed. With a flash of the sword, the snake was split in half. There were almost snakes all over the ground outside, crawling towards Wei Wu's house.
Qingyou closed the window and said, "Oh no, Mr. Bai, there are snakes outside... crawling towards Wei Wu's house..."
As soon as the voice fell, Wei Wu's screams came over, and after a few screams, there was no sound, "Mr. Bai, they are all poisonous snakes."
There were still some sounds of fighting outside, and then not long after, screams were heard from two people, and then it became eerily quiet.
Baili Yao swallowed her saliva and thought, damn, this... is all the words of the snake... She cursed in her heart, what kind of bad luck did she have? Why did bad things happen one after another!
But no matter how much she scolded him, it was useless.
"Aren't your horses roaming outside? Wouldn't they come right over if you called them?"
"Of course, our horses are all trained." Qingyou said.
"I always have a feeling that we may not be able to stay here. The people in Wei Wu's room may not be able to survive, Xie Nan." Baili Yao stood up. Xie Nan was able to sit up. One side of his body was injured and was now bandaged, but he could move.
"Mr. Bai," Baili Yao helped Xie Nan who was sitting up.
"There are still a few farmers here. Let's go check out the others first. Call your horses, go quickly!"
"Yes!" When Qingyou was about to open the door, Baili Yao followed her. Xie Nan's big knife was quite heavy, but she could still lift it. Sure enough, when the door was opened, there were many snakes outside. Qingyou was very good at light work and her sword was also fast. She quickly killed a way out. She stood outside and whistled, and then used her sword to continuously kill the snakes crawling on the road.
Baili Yao was holding a big knife and was not too tired. He only chopped off three or two things.
"I didn't expect Qingyou to be so powerful," Baili Yao put the knife aside. It seemed that she didn't need any help, so she started to pack up and helped Xie Nan down.
Two horses came over quickly. Baili Yao didn't know how to ride a horse, but she couldn't afford to be pretentious, so she got on the horse. Qingyou and Xie Nan also got on the horse. Fortunately, the horse was smart and knew to follow Qingyou.
More and more snakes were gathering in the yard. The snakes that crawled out of Wei Wu's house were covered in blood, leaving trails of blood on the ground. The three of them didn't want to waste any more time.
"Is the town far away?"
"It's not very far, Mr. Bai, but the road is difficult to travel. It's about the same distance as the farmer ahead."
"Then let's go directly to the town. Xie Nan is soaked in water, and the things in the farmers' homes may not be complete."
"Okay, Mr. Bai, you ride a horse..."
"I can't! Remember to tell your horse to stop when we get to the destination!" Baili Yao grabbed the reins tightly and was so nervous sitting on the horse's back.
It was raining heavily, Baili Yao couldn't even open her eyes, and she was afraid of falling off, so she just held onto the horse's back. A few people passed by her, and she was wondering why anyone was walking that way.
"Master, the rain is too heavy." Mu Bei said.
"The farmhouse is the closest to the inn," Suye said. He always felt uneasy if he didn't go and take a look. Three people passed by in the rain. Suye ran a short distance and saw a lot of snakes behind them.
"Master, be careful!"
"Turn around!" Suye said, "Go to town."
"It seems that those three people are also hiding from these snakes." Mu Bei followed Su Ye closely.
"Although this place is remote, it is on the road to the West Wind Country. There are many people here. These snakes seem to be carefully raised by people. Let's catch up with those three people and take a look."
"It's the master."
Su Ye led his men to follow the horses' footprints all the way. Their legs were not slow and the horses were carefully selected. He was a little surprised that the horses of the three men were so fast that they couldn't catch up.
This place is affiliated with Xifeng Kingdom. It used to be the prince's territory, but now it belongs to Xuanyuan Zhe due to the obstruction of the queen. There is a house here that Xuanyuan Zhe had someone stay there, and Suye just happened to stay there.
Baili Yao and Qingyou found the nearest inn. Xie Nan looked ugly, with pale lips. He was already poisoned, and now he had a cold and a fever.
"Mr. Bai, my brother..." Qingyou has always been aloof and sensible, but seeing Xie Nan in so much pain, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.
"Don't worry, Xie Nan is fine. Go get the medicine and ask the waiter to help boil it. It's not a big deal." Baili Yao gave Xie Nan a heart-protecting pill. Xie Nan looked much better. "It's okay."
Qingyou went out to get medicine, and Baili Yao asked the shop assistant to help wipe Xie Nan's body and change his medicine. His complexion eased a lot and his pain was reduced a little.
While staying at Wei Wu's house, Xie Nan asked Qingyou to deliver a letter to King Liang. This place was relatively close to Xifeng Country, so in addition to informing King Liang of their situation, they also asked about their next plans.
After sending three letters in succession, King Liang finally responded.
There were three horse-drawn carriages coming to pick them up, and the people who came were all dressed as servants, and there were also a few maids and old women.
"The prince has said that you two can rest for a while. We will take Mr. Bai away and take good care of him." The person who came in and spoke seemed to be a housekeeper's wife, who had a high status.
Qingyou and Xie Nan looked at each other, and when they looked at Baili Yao, their eyes were full of complicated colors. But King Liang actually refused to take them back? Obviously, there were three carriages, and it should not be difficult to take the injured Xie Nan away.
As if she could see what Baili Yao was thinking, the old woman still had a stern face and said to Baili Yao in a businesslike manner, "Mr. Bai, you have worked hard on the journey. The two of them are servants of my master. When they are ready, they can go back and report. Mr. Bai is precious and I will serve him well."
Qingyou snorted after hearing what the old woman said. She clenched her fists and looked at Xie Nan. Xie Nan shook her head. She felt indignant and bowed to Baili Yao as a farewell.
Baili Yao had no choice but to follow them into the carriage. The interior of the carriage was magnificent and indeed comfortable to sit in. However, he did not feel comfortable in his heart. "Excuse me, what is your name, mother?" The old woman also got in and was quite respectful to Baili Yao.
"I dare not. My last name is Liu."
"Where are you taking me, Madam Liu? Ah, the two people just now were the retainers of King Liang. Madam Liu has three carriages here, so why don't you take them with you?"
"I've long heard that Mr. Bai has a kind heart and his medical skills are like those of a god. Now it seems that he is indeed admirable. However, the two of them are just servants of my master. If they don't do their job well and waste time, they will inevitably be punished when they return."
"what? What?"
