Chapter 965: Let’s all go build the road
Zhuang Zhiwu had no choice but to listen to Jiang Fenghua and let his subordinates go to build the road.
Xiao Shang approached Jiang Fenghua and said, "This thing is very powerful. I was almost hurt by it. Let me see it!"
Just as he was about to take the musket to examine it carefully, Jiang Fenghua dodged Xiao Shang and said in a deep voice, "Where did you take Xiao Yu and my guards?"
Xiao Shang paused, then smiled slightly and said loudly: "Miss Jiang... Third Miss is really smart. Don't worry, they will be released soon."
Jiang Fenghua was puzzled, "They were guarding outside the door. How did you get rid of them? I'm curious." With Xiao Yu's cautiousness, he had always been on guard against how Xiao Shang might fall into his trap.
Xiao Shang did not hide it, "It is easy for me to get rid of anyone I want, as long as I make them obey me."
"Be obedient? How do you mean obedient?" Jiang Fenghua was even more confused.
Gongsun Lan came over and said, "There's a plant called Datura. A small amount can cause hallucinations, but a large amount can be fatal. You didn't give them Datura, did you?"
Xiao Shang did not deny it. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I was very careful when I gave them the drug. Their lives are not in danger..."
The next moment, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Fenghua suddenly raised his fist and hit Xiao Shang in the face. In an instant, two lines of bright red blood flowed from his nose.
Only when he saw the nosebleed did he realize the burning pain on the bridge of his nose. The pain was so severe that he held his nose and almost cried for his parents.
Gongsun Lan stood aside with her eyes wide open. Jiang Fenghua had used all his strength in this punch. Looking at Xiao Shang's uncomfortable expression, she judged that his nose must have been broken!
Jiang Fenghua glared at him coldly, "You'd better tell your people to release them, otherwise I will break your legs next time and make you a turtle that can only crawl on the ground forever."
She actually dared to call him a turtle. Xiao Shang was so angry that he couldn't utter a single word.
Jiang Fenghua didn't care whether he was in pain or not. She asked Qin Yunyan and Zhang Yumo to help send the injured people to the temple for treatment. Gongsun Lan said, "We have run out of medicine for external injuries. No matter how skilled the doctor is, it will be useless without medicine."
Jiang Fenghua certainly knew this. She asked Hongxiu, "Have we used up all the medicine we brought out of Beijing?"
Hongxiu nodded and said, "They are all gone." These were originally things they had prepared for their own use on the road, but now they are all gone.
Jiang Fenghua had no choice now and could only wait for their people to contact the Feng family. If someone from the Feng family came, perhaps the people here could be saved.
Soon Xiao Yu and the others came back. He hurried over and saw the chaos at the scene. He asked worriedly, "Is the third lady okay?"
Jiang Fenghua said: "We are all fine. It was all Xiao Shang's doing. Later, the real bandits also came..."
She recounted what had happened, "Fortunately, Xiao Shang used the sound of the flute to confuse them, and we are all fine."
Xiao Yu walked up to Xiao Shang, twisted his collar, and shouted angrily, "You are in a cooperative relationship with us now. If you do this, someone will die."
Xiao Shang pushed him away and said, "It's that woman's fault for being so ungrateful. How long are you going to be delayed on the road?" He was quite anxious.
Xiao Yu sneered, "Since you are so anxious, you can go by yourself."
Xiao Shang was so angry that his chest hurt. "After all, we all have the surname Xiao, so we are considered a family."
Xiao Yu asked, "So you want to call me ancestor?"
Xiao Shang also sneered, "With you, don't you know how much you have brought shame to our Xiao family? For a woman..."
Xiao Shang suddenly stopped talking, his face as thick as a city wall, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Since you said we are in a cooperative relationship, then I wish us a happy cooperation in the future!"
Xiao Yu looked at him coldly. Since he claimed to be from the future, what would his future be like? What did it mean to do it for a woman?
He never wanted to gain anything, nor would he let the Third Miss bear any bad reputation. The relationship between him and the Third Miss could only be that of a king and his subject.
Jiang Fenghua didn't bother to pay attention to the two people who were arguing like children. Maybe they were really a family. She didn't know whether Xiao Yu was married in his previous life.
Jiang Fenghua stared at the two of them but was thinking in his mind: The fact that Xiao Shang was able to find Qin Yunyan means that they must have met in their previous life. Qin Yunyan and Xiao Yu are not only from the same hometown, but they also have secret contact, so it is not impossible that Xiao Yu and Xiao Shang had contact in their previous life.
In the previous life, when Xiao Shang's cavalry broke through the Great Zhou, Xiao Yu was already an old man. In her dreams, Xiao Yu was always alone. Could it be that he had never gotten married?
Xiao Shang suddenly said, "This prince also hopes to have a pleasant cooperation with Miss Jiang San."
Jiang Fenghua now wants to find the ghost realm more and more, and find out whether the legendary flower of the underworld, Lycoris radiata, is related to the mark between her eyebrows.
She said calmly, "In a couple of days, after I have settled the people here, I will go with you to search for the Ghost Realm."
Xiao Shang's brows lit up when he heard this, "Really? You won't lie to me again this time!"
Jiang Fenghua was about to speak when she suddenly felt a burning pain between her eyebrows. She had already covered her forehead with a piece of coarse cloth to hide her flower ornaments. Now she could clearly feel the flower ornaments being torn, as if she had really been cursed by some kind of curse and she could not control herself and even started to have a headache.
Gongsun Lan noticed her holding her forehead and noticed something was wrong with her. He asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Fenghua waved her hand and touched her eyebrows with her fingertips. She knew that the red color there must have become more gorgeous, and its shape was just like a blooming Lycoris radiata.
She controlled her emotions and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow morning we will set off to the Ghost Realm to find the truth."
Xiao Shang was even happier after hearing this, "You should have listened to me earlier..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Fenghua walked towards the land temple.
She avoided everyone and took out the bronze mirror from her bag to take a peek. Sure enough, the Lycoris radiata looked very strange in the firelight, as if it was painted with blood. What frightened her even more was that Xie Shang's face appeared in her mind again, and an inexplicable hatred surged in her heart.
Her fingertips unconsciously clasped her hair, and she tried to calm herself. She found that she was becoming increasingly unable to control herself. Fortunately, Xie Shangyuan was in the palace, otherwise she would have really attacked him.
Gongsun Lan suddenly walked up to her and stared at the flower ornament on her forehead, asking worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?"
Jiang Fenghua regained his composure and glanced around. "But this place is not suitable. I will tell you the truth when the time is right."
During the time she spent with Gongsun Lan, she got to know her a little better. In addition to her excellent medical skills, Gongsun Lan also exuded a sense of mystery. Although she was only a few years older than her, there was a sense of sophistication in her eyes.
