503 Untitled

The East Manor was in chaos in the middle of the night. At first, the candle light in Helian Beiming’s courtyard lit up, and then a small white shadow darted into the Wutong Courtyard. It came to Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan’s door and kept scratching with its little claws.

The couple was woken up. Yan Jiuchao lifted the blanket and Yu Wan pressed him down. “I’ll go take a look. Lie down.”

Yu Wan got off the bed and opened the door. The little snow fox rushed in and bit Yu Wan’s pants, pulling her out.

The little snow fox had never had such a reaction. Ever since it was “adopted” by Helian Beiming, it had become Helian Beiming’s little pet. Yu Wan saw that her uncle liked it and did not say that the little snow fox belonged to Yan Jiuchao. Just like that, it was raised by her uncle. The little fellow had tried to escape countless times, but Helian Beiming had caught it countless times. However, when something really happened to Helian Beiming, the little snow fox could not sit still anymore.

Yu Wan quickly changed into clothes that allowed her to see outsiders and said to Yan Jiuchao, “Maybe Uncle has something on. I’ll go take a look.”

Yan Jiuchao looked at the night outside the window and called Zi Su and Fu Ling to take care of the children. He also put on his clothes and went to Helian Beiming’s courtyard.

Helian Beiming had been carried back by a sacrificial soldier. At this moment, he was lying on the bed covered in blood. Yu Gang knew that Old Cui and Yu Wan were doctors and was about to invite them, but Yu Wan came herself.

Yu Wan thought that Helian Beiming was looking for her for something. She never expected that something had happened to him.

Yu Wan’s mind froze when she saw Helian Beiming with a knife in his chest. Yan Jiuchao said calmly to the maidservant who was so frightened that her face was white, “Go boil water. Go to Wutong Courtyard and bring Young Madam’s first aid kit over. Call Doctor Cui over too.”

“Yes!” The two maidservants immediately accepted the order and left.

Yan Jiuchao gently patted Yu Wan’s shoulder. Yu Wan understood and composed herself. She found scissors in the room and cut open Helian Beiming’s shirt.

Helian Beiming’s injuries were not optimistic. He had lost too much blood and had already fainted. This was a very dangerous situation. If she was not careful, he might never wake up again.

“Lock down the news first and don’t tell Old Madam,” Yan Jiuchao said to Yu Gang.

Yu Gang was stunned at first, then he nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, yes! I’ll do it now!”

As Yu Wan checked Helian Beiming’s injuries, she heard Yan Jiuchao calmly directing the various measures. Yu Wan’s heart suddenly calmed down. It was true that he was the little lunatic who could always anger people to death, but at the critical moment, he became a man who could support the world.

Yu Gang gave the steward of the East Manor and the guards and maidservants in the courtyard a gag order one by one, preventing them from spreading the news that Helian Beiming was seriously injured and could not be treated to the Old Madam.

When he returned to the room, Old Cui had also arrived with the first aid kit.

At this moment, Old Cui couldn’t care less about making an oath. After all, he was no longer in the Great Zhou, and the gods of the Great Zhou could not control him, right?

“By the Gu God, I want to save your country’s War God. You can’t let me be struck by lightning.” After Old Cui finished muttering in his heart, he walked forward with the first aid kit. “How is it?”

Yu Wan stood up and made way for him. She said truthfully, “Not good. I didn’t dare to pull out the saber.”

Old Cui took Helian Beiming’s pulse first. After a moment of silence, he nodded. “It’s right not to pull it out. Once you pull out your knife, he won’t be able to stop bleeding and will immediately die. This knife was inserted too viciously and went straight to his heart. He probably dodged it and missed by a millimeter. Otherwise, even the descent of the Zenith Heaven Immortal won’t be able to save him.”

The two of them were doctors, so their first reaction was to save the dying and help the injured. As for why Helian Beiming was so injured, the two of them did not have the time to think about it for the time being.

“Can he be saved?” Yu Wan asked.

“It’s hard to say,” Old Cui said solemnly. “His meridians were injured a few years ago, and all his martial arts were crippled. He was weaker than ordinary people to begin with, and he was stabbed in the heart…”

Old Cui did not finish his sentence. He changed the topic and said, “I’ll go adjust the hemostatic powder first. You seal his acupoints with golden needles.”

“Okay.” Yu Wan took out a golden needle and used the candlelight to disinfect it. Fortunately, nothing went wrong with her acupuncture tonight.

When the two of them were discussing Helian Beiming’s injuries, Yan Jiuchao didn’t disturb them. It was not until the two of them began to treat Helian Beiming with all their might that Yan Jiuchao called Yu Gang to the side and asked about what had happened.

Yu Gang recalled the scene in the pavilion and his legs went weak. “…The General didn’t let us follow him. He entered the pavilion himself. We didn’t expect the General to be assassinated. When the sacrificial soldiers heard the commotion and rushed to the pavilion, the General had already been stabbed…”

As the Divine General of Nanzhao, Helian Beiming had killed countless enemies on the battlefield. It was impossible to say that he did not have many enemies, but there were not many who could really succeed. The key to this matter was not how powerful the other party’s martial arts were, but that Helian Beiming did not guard against him at all.

That was strange, wasn’t it? Helian Beiming was not a fledgling kid. Why would he be so careless?

Yu Gang said angrily, “We only realized after capturing the assassin that he actually disguised himself as Young Master…”

“My appearance?” Yan Jiuchao frowned.

“Ah, no, no, no!” Yu Gang quickly waved his hand and corrected him. “The original Young Master.”

“Helian Sheng?” Yan Jiuchao asked.

“Yes.” Yu Gang lowered his head, as if he was embarrassed and annoyed that he had made a slip of the tongue.

Yan Jiuchao did not care about this. It did not matter to him whether he was the eldest young master or not. He would not be jealous of Helian Beiming’s son, nor would he want to snatch anyone’s everything. He let Yu Gang continue.

Yu Gang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he was really not angry. “Although we caught him, he committed suicide before we could interrogate him.”

It seemed that he was also a sacrificial soldier.

Yan Jiuchao’s gaze paused. “Has the Grand General seen Helian Sheng so secretly in the past?”

Yu Gang shook his head. “They would bump into each other occasionally, but he only took a look from afar. Perhaps it’s because of this that Young Master… No, I mean… that person asked the general out, so the general went without hesitation.”

Because he missed him too much.

Yan Jiuchao asked, “Do you know that the General is going to see Helian Sheng?”

Yu Gang said, “I don’t know.”

Yu Gang was Helian Beiming’s trusted aide. Even he did not know. That should be because Helian Sheng had deliberately emphasized not to let others know when he asked Helian Beiming out. This did not arouse suspicion. After all, Helian Sheng had already been expelled from the Helian family. His existence was a taboo, so it was reasonable to avoid everyone’s gaze.

But Yan Jiuchao was puzzled. The Helian family was so heavily guarded. How did that person contact Helian Beiming?

Yan Jiuchao tapped his fingertips on the table. “Has anyone sent letters to the manor?”

“No.” Yu Gang was sure.

Yan Jiuchao went to Helian Beiming’s study. At this moment, the little snow fox slipped over with a bird feather in its mouth. It jumped into Yan Jiuchao’s arms and placed the bird feather in his palm.

Yan Jiuchao took the feather and looked at it. It was a pigeon.

A pigeon sending the letter? But if the other party said that he was Helian Sheng, was he definitely Helian Sheng? Helian Beiming believed him so easily. The other party probably not only disguised Helian Sheng’s appearance, but also imitated his handwriting.

Yan Jiuchao asked Yu Gang about Helian Sheng and Helian Beiming. It was not until Yu Gang had nothing else to say that Yan Jiuchao turned around and returned to Helian Beiming’s room.

Everything was ready, but they had yet to pull the saber out of Helian Beiming’s chest. Yan Jiuchao instinctively felt that Old Cui’s expression was not right. “What’s wrong?”

Old Cui stroked his beard and sighed. “We can’t pull out his knife casually.”

Yan Jiuchao did not ask why. It was not that Old Cui could not pull it out, but he could not pull it out casually. This meant that the knife could be pulled out, but there were conditions.

“Tell me, what else do you need?” Yan Jiuchao said indifferently.

Old Cui scratched his head. It was not unreasonable for one to be injured when one was extremely intelligent. This little princely heir had probably grown up bumpy because he was too smart and had attracted the jealousy of the heavens.

Old Cui coughed lightly and said, “It’s already not enough for us to stop the bleeding in his situation. He urgently needs to nourish his blood. In order to let the Blood Nourishment Pills play their greatest role, he… he needs a Red Lingzhi.”

“Oh.” Yan Jiuchao’s expression was very calm, as if what Helian Beiming needed was not his medicinal primer, but anything he could give up. “Isn’t there a Red Lingzhi?”

“But that’s your medicinal primer!” Old Cui was dumbfounded. Didn’t they come all the way here to find the medicinal primer for Yan Jiuchao? Now that they had finally obtained it, were they going to use it on others just like that?

Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “I can find the Red Lingzhi again. Anyway, I won’t die for a while.”

Old Cui looked at Yu Wan awkwardly. Yu Wan looked at Yan Jiuchao. She understood him with just a look.

At this moment, Yu Wan really felt that he had an uncle.
