Chapter 123 Escaped! Li Ziyan was poisoned
At this moment, the three of them were surrounded by a group of killers who were waiting for them. One of the killers explained helplessly: "The master wants to kill you, and we really have no other choice!"
Li Ziyan stared at the murderous enemies in front of him, thinking secretly in his heart. However, the killers did not give him too much time to think, and instantly rushed forward like a tide, starting a life-and-death struggle with them.
The battle was extremely fierce, with waves of attacks coming one after another, seemingly endless. Gradually, Li Ziyan finally understood that these killers had only one goal, which was to kill him.
Seeing the situation becoming more and more critical, the three were finally forced to the edge of the cliff. Li Ziyan grabbed the two guards tightly and handed them two precious items.
He also instructed: "This sachet was carefully embroidered for me by my wife, so it must not be soiled or damaged; this belt was also made by her, so please keep it safe for me. If you can return to Pingliang City safely, please go to Li's house and tell my wife that her husband has never humiliated her reputation, but I am afraid that the imperial edict will not be granted as she wishes, so I hope she will not be angry."
The two guards stood there as if struck by lightning, watching Li Ziyan exert his strength to push them out of the encirclement. Afterwards, Li Ziyan fought fiercely with the group of people without fear. However, despite his agility, he was outnumbered and was eventually forced to fall off the cliff.
Seeing Li Ziyan fall off the cliff, the assassins retreated like a tide. The two guards woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly knelt down on the edge of the cliff, grief-stricken.
At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came again. The two men instantly became alert and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Xiao Xuantang galloping over. "Your Highness, Prince Qin!" When he heard this shout, Xiao Xuantang hurriedly pulled the reins and turned to look at them. The two men immediately ran over, fell to their knees, and cried bitterly, "Your Highness, please save the master quickly!"
Zhou Aoyang jumped off the horse first, walked quickly forward and asked: "What happened to Li Ziyan?" "Sir...he was forced to fall off the cliff." The guard answered in a crying voice.
When Zhou Aoyang heard this, his body trembled, and then he rushed to the edge of the cliff like crazy, his eyes red and tears streaming down his face: "Li Ziyan, you bastard! I said a long time ago that I would go with you, why did you insist on going alone?" He cried and cursed, his heart filled with endless regret and self-blame.
Xiao Xuantang, who was standing by, couldn't help but shed tears, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.
There was a slight noise coming from the bushes below the cliff, as if something was trying to climb up. Then, a hand stretched out with difficulty and tightly grasped the rock above.
"Stop crying, why are you crying like a grown man!" A familiar voice came, it turned out to be Li Ziyan. When he fell off the cliff, he was lucky enough to grab a vine and was able to hang on the steep cliff. Because the cliff was covered with uneven rocks, it just blocked his falling body.
When Zhou Aoyang heard Li Ziyan's voice, he suddenly raised his head as if waking up from a dream, with a look of surprise on his face: "Li Ziyan! You are not dead!"
Li Ziyan sneered contemptuously: "You are the one who is going to die! But if you don't come and pull me up, I will really die and fall directly from here!"
Zhou Aoyang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Li Ziyan's hand, pulling him up. Xiao Xuantang, who was standing by, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxiety in his heart subsided a little.
Li Ziyan successfully climbed up the cliff, dusted himself off, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Look at how cowardly you are. I, Li Ziyan, am a very lucky person. How can I die so easily? It's just that I'm too tired to fight those guys. I'm too lazy to continue fighting."
After saying that, he glanced around and saw that Xiao Xuantang and Zhou Aoyang's eyes were still red. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Why, you two are still crying? But I am quite touched to have good brothers like you who value friendship and loyalty."
Zhou Aoyang couldn't help but punch Li Ziyan in the chest and cursed angrily: "You bastard, if something really happened to you, wouldn't Zhao Junning be heartbroken?" When Zhao Junning's name was mentioned, Li Ziyan's eyes flashed a hint of tenderness, but soon returned to his usual free and easy attitude.
Li Ziyan sighed deeply and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, things are a bit complicated. I guess I scared you just now."
Hearing this, everyone's originally hanging hearts finally fell a little, but just when they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened - the group of killers actually came back! It seems that they want more than just Li Ziyan's life. After a fierce fight, seeing that the enemy was about to kill everyone, suddenly, a cold arrow rushed towards Xiao Xuantang!
At the critical moment, Li Ziyan desperately pulled Xiao Xuantang away, but unfortunately his arm was grazed by the arrow and blood immediately flowed out.
"Are you okay?" Li Ziyan didn't care about treating his own wounds, and anxiously asked Xiao Xuantang if he was injured. Xiao Xuantang shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
Seeing that Xiao Xuantang was safe, Li Ziyan was relieved. But before he could catch his breath, something worse happened. It turned out that the arrow was coated with a deadly poison. The poison took effect quickly, and Li Ziyan felt his eyes go dark before he passed out.
Seeing this, Zhou Aoyang, who was standing by, quickly reached out to support Li Ziyan. After returning to the city, he immediately found a doctor to treat him. "Doctor, what's wrong with him?" Zhou Aoyang asked with a worried look on his face.
The doctor frowned and replied after a moment's silence: "Master Li, this is caused by poisoning."
"Poisoned? What kind of poison is it? Is there any way to detoxify it?" Zhou Aoyang asked anxiously.
The doctor thought for a moment and replied, "I'm afraid I can't do anything with my current medical skills. As far as I know, this poison can only be cured by the doctors in Pingliang in Wei. In addition, it is said that there is a miracle doctor who is erratic and hard to find. If we can find him, there may be a glimmer of hope..."
Xiao Xuantang frowned and said, "Then do it quickly! Summon all the doctors in the city and have them try to treat Zi Yan one by one!"
Zhou Aoyang quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, saying, "Your Highness, you must not do this! Time is pressing. If we wait until all the doctors have tried before using the medicine, I'm afraid it will delay the best time for treatment. Zi Yan is in urgent need of an antidote to save his life. I have thought of a feasible method that we can try."
Xiao Xuantang looked at Zhou Aoyang suspiciously and asked, "What's the solution? Tell me quickly!"
Zhou Aoyang clenched his fists tightly and answered firmly, "At present, it seems that only by asking Zhao Junning to come can Zi Yan's life be saved."
At this moment, Zhou Aoyang thought to himself, "If we talk about the best medical skills in the world, it must be Zhao Junning. Moreover, she is also concentrating on studying medicine this time. With her talent and extraordinary understanding, she must have already mastered those medical books."
Zhou Aoyang turned to look at Mo Yu and ordered, "Mo Yu, there is no time to lose. You must deliver this letter to Xu Wenhe immediately. After all, the truth will come out sooner or later. I guess they have a deep friendship. Maybe Zhao Junning has already sensed that Li Ziyan is in danger."
After all, she is the only one in the world who can save Li Ziyan. She was the disciple of the medical immortal in her previous life and has picked up medical skills again in this life. Zhao Junning's medical skills are the best except for those of this elusive medical immortal.
