Chapter 193 New Plan
This sentence stirred up ripples in his heart at this moment. Fan Yanmu had an idea in his mind that Du Xuwei must know the whereabouts of the secret letter.
Since He Yong has colluded with the emperor of Dongchu, the secret letter is very likely to have fallen into Du Xuwei's hands.
Everyone had previously neglected to search Du Xuwei. Perhaps the crucial letter was still hidden on him.
"Let's go back and find Du Xuwei."
Fan Yanmu spoke in a firm tone, and he already had a new plan in mind.
After Fan Yanmu finished speaking, he gently but firmly held Xiao Zhixue's hand, and with steady and quick steps, he led her through the dark and winding path, straight to the place where Du Xuwei was captured.
In the night wind, the sleeves of their clothes fluttered with their steps, and it seemed that even the air became heavy because of the sense of urgency.
At the same time, Du Xuwei was alone, with his back straight, and he did not lose his warrior spirit even in difficult situations.
On the cold ground, he closed his eyes and concentrated, his internal energy flowing through his meridians like a trickle, trying to dispel the toxin that had invaded his bone marrow.
Sweat dripped along his resolute chin, splashing tiny drops of water on the stone slabs, reflecting his indomitable will.
Just as he was struggling hard, a familiar voice came past his ears like a spring breeze. Jin Chengfeng's words were full of teasing and certainty, instantly shattering the last bit of luck in Du Xuwei's heart.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he looked around, and finally his eyes locked on the figure on the roof. Complex emotions surged in his heart - surprise, confusion and hope intertwined.
Jin Chengfeng stood on the top of the eaves, the moonlight outlining his lonely and proud figure, as if everything was under his control.
Du Xuwei's weak nod showed both trust and helplessness. He knew very well that at this moment he could only rely on Jin Chengfeng for his chance of survival, so he restrained his internal strength and waited for a turnaround.
Jin Chengfeng moved swiftly, unbowed the longbow in his hand, the string sounded, and the arrow flew, aiming directly at the vigilant Mo Xingjun not far away.
The sound of the arrow breaking through the air was sharp, like a cold wind in winter, which made people's heart palpitate.
Mo Xingjun reacted quickly, and with a flash of sword, he cut the arrow into two pieces, but the second arrow followed closely, forcing him to face Jin Chengfeng head-on.
The two men clashed, sword shadows and rain of arrows intertwined, leaving sharp marks on the snow.
Jin Chengfeng was agile and each of his strikes was precise and ruthless. In comparison, Mo Xingjun seemed overwhelmed and after several rounds, he was already showing signs of defeat.
Finally, with one palm strike, Mo Xingjun flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily on the snow. His blood and snow intertwined, painting a sad and beautiful picture.
Jin Chengfeng rescued Du Xuwei, and the two of them leaped up and turned into two black shadows in the night, disappearing over the roof, leaving Mo Xingjun alone struggling in the snow.
When Fan Yanmu, Xiao Zhixue and their group hurried over, they were shocked by the scene before them.
Mo Xingjun's fall and Du Xuwei's disappearance, everything happened so fast that people were caught off guard.
"Where are Du Xuwei's people?"
Fan Yanmu's question was filled with anxiety and confusion.
Guo Mo's concern was interrupted by Xiao Zhixue's keen observation, and she prevented possible secondary damage in time.
Xiao Zhixue's eyes were sharp and calm. The Jade Spirit Pill she took out from the space ring was shining with a warm luster. It was the holy detoxification medicine she had carefully refined.
Her gloved hands gently and carefully cleaned the poison powder off Mo Xingjun's body. Every movement revealed her professionalism and meticulousness.
As the toxins were removed one by one, Xiao Zhixue gradually felt relieved. Although Mo Xingjun's condition was critical, the efficacy of the Yuling Pill had begun to take effect, at least buying him precious time for treatment.
The night is still deep, but the fire of hope has been quietly ignited in the cold wind.
"It is not advisable to stay here for long. We must return to the old house as soon as possible. Only there can I provide him with more appropriate treatment."
Xiao Zhixue stood up, her voice filled with unquestionable determination. At the same time, she briefly outlined Mo Xingjun's current critical condition, with a hint of worry between her brows.
Guo Mo's heart seemed to be suspended in the air by a thin thread. He was so nervous that he could almost hear his own heartbeat, but he knew very well that at this critical moment, Xiao Zhixue's medical skills were their only hope.
She has brought Mo Xingjun back to the human world many times when he was on the brink of life and death. This trust is like sweet spring water in the desert, which makes people feel dependent on her.
"Let's go back to the old house."
Although Guo Mo's voice was low, it was extremely firm.
Upon hearing this, Fan Yanmu immediately reached out to pull Xiao Zhixue to go with him, but she gently held him back.
"Wait a moment."
Xiao Zhixue's gaze fell on the unfortunate corpse on the ground, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
These things cannot be dealt with so hastily, they must be handled properly before you can leave with peace of mind.
So, she ordered Guo Mo to go ahead and carry the unconscious Mo Xingjun back to the old house, while the reinforcements would stay behind temporarily to help deal with subsequent matters.
The leader of the reinforcements waited silently for Guo Mo's instructions. When he heard "You follow me back to the old house", he immediately clasped his fists and responded in a loud voice: "Yes, sir. I will follow General Liu's arrangements."
That loyalty and determination seem to be able to penetrate the wind and rain and give people infinite strength.
Guo Mo carried Mo Xingjun on his back. Although the latter had taken the precious Yuling Pill, he was still unconscious, which made him feel gloomy.
"Miss Xiao, is my master really okay?"
His tone was filled with anxiety and anticipation.
Xiao Zhixue's answer was firm and confident: "Don't worry, the Jade Spirit Pill has begun to take effect, and his life will not be in danger. You take him back to the old house in the west of the city first. After I take care of things here, I will rush back to continue the treatment."
This promise was like a shot of adrenaline, which comforted Guo Mo a little. He clasped his fists in gratitude and then led the reinforcements to quicken their pace and quickly left the Xuanyu Hall headquarters, fearing that something unexpected might happen along the way.
He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Mo Xingjun could escape from danger and regain consciousness as soon as possible.
As the crowd dispersed, Xiao Zhixue set the corpse on fire. A raging flame rose into the sky and thick smoke covered half of the sky.
She stood side by side with Fan Yanmu, covering her mouth and nose with her hands, patiently waiting for all traces to turn to ashes, as if they were holding a silent farewell ceremony.
After collecting the cooled ashes, the two turned around and left, starting their journey home.
On the way, Fan Yanmu frowned, feeling mixed emotions.
Not only did this operation fail to obtain the secret letter, but Du Xuwei was also rescued by a mysterious person, which made him feel unprecedented frustration and anxiety.
If that person fled back to Dongchu with the secret letter and presented it directly to the emperor of Dongchu, then all the secrets of Xiliang would probably be exposed.
Time is running out, every minute and every second is like sand in an hourglass, constantly passing by. He must find Du Xuwei as soon as possible and take back the crucial secret letter.
Xiao Zhixue noticed Fan Yanmu's heavy thoughts and broke the silence at the right time: "I guess Jin Chengfeng is the most likely person to rescue Du Xuwei."
