This Lady Is Trying to Kill Me

Hearing this, Ye Jingtang didn’t say anything else. He took a cup of water, leaned over, and moved his mouth to the southern hemisphere…

Sizzle-

Pei Xiangjun’s heart trembled violently. Her entire body tensed up a little, but she suppressed it and didn’t show any abnormalities. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at the number one beauty beside her, whose face was alternating between red and white, and she even raised her eyebrows provocatively.

Hmm? Luo Ning’s eyebrows raised. She really wanted to beat Third Lady up, but she couldn’t move. She gritted her teeth and thought for a moment before saying, “Little thief, flick her.”

Ye Jingtang was so busy that his mouth was numb. He said helplessly, “Don’t joke around at a rime like this.”

Joke around?Seeing that Ye Jingtang was treating his female boss differently, Luo Ning wanted to argue, but she felt that this wasn’t taking into account the big picture, so she let it go.

After Ye Jingtang finished, he checked left and right by candlelight. After confirming that there were no other wounds, he asked, “Just one needle?”

Pei Xiangjun kept looking at Luo Ning to disperse the embarrassment in her heart. Hearing this, she didn’t dare to look at rhe from and only nodded slightly.

Ye Jingtang breathed a sigh of relief and looked inside. “Ning’er, are you sure you’re not injured?”

Luo Ning shook her head. “Only a bit of the snow moth scale touched me, and 1 forced the poison out myself. I should be able to recover very quickly. Her meridians are injured. Help her massage them. 1 think she injured the governor meridian behind her back.”

Ye Jingtang took out the Jade Dragon Ointment to treat internal injuries and turned Third Lady, who was pretending to be an ostrich with her eyes closed, over to lie on her side. He saw a line of red marks on the skin along the spine line, starting from the fengfu acupoint at the back of her head and extending down to the yangguan acupoint behind the waist…

“What caused this injury?”

Pei Xiangjun said softly, “It’s the Wind Pool Reverse Blood from the last two moves of the Overlord Spear. There are rules in the family. 1 can only teach you when you become the pavilion lord of the Red Blower Pavilion.”

When Ye Jingtang saw Third Lady pierce through the shield with her spear, he felt that this move was indeed a big move. He didn’t say anything else. He poured the Jade Dragon Ointment on his hands and gently massaged her along her spine.

Luo Ning couldn’t help staring at the big balls in front of her, so she asked, “Little thief, what happened to you just now?”

Ye Jingtang rubbed Pei Xiangjm’s lower back and slowly slid down. He frowned slightly. “I’m not sure either. It’s just that when I circulate my qi, 1 feel the qi rushing from the soles of my feet to my fist. There is no… um… resistance. My bones are also flexible, as if they were smeared with lubricant. My body movements are smooth and natural. 1 can send fist out as soon as 1 think about it, but I can still retract it…11

Luo Ning’s expression was focused as she thought for a moment. “I have never heard Xue Baijin mention such a change… By the way, the Snow Lake Flower of the Heavenly Carnelian Lake seems to have the miraculous effect of regenerating meridians and tempering bones. However, it only blooms once every few decades and is even guarded by the Northern Liang army. It’s impossible to obtain it… You probably took medicine that contains the Snow Lake Flower.”

Ye Jingtang had indeed seen a set of armor in Cheng Shilu’s house yesterday. It didn’t look like the style of the Great Wei army. He nodded slightly. “It’s probably a medicine stolen from Northern Liang… What kind of medicine is it exactly? I ll think of a way to get a few more.”

Pei Xiangjun felt her thin pants being pulled open. Her face flushed red as she said in a mosquito-like voice, “It’s probably a divine medicine like the Meridian Replenishment Pill. Your foster father’s meridians were all broken back then, so he went to Red River Town to live in seclusion. He probably wanted to find the Snow Lake Flower to regenerate his meridians.”

Red River Town was at the border. After leaving the border and walking a few hundred kilometers northeast, one would arrive at Northern Liang’s Heavenly Carnelian Lake. Ye Jingtang had also heard of it and immediately said regretfully,

“There’s actually such a medicine in the world. My foster father should have told me earlier.”

“If he had told you earlier, you would have gone to Northern Liang—Jingtang!” Pei Xiangjun was speaking softly when she suddenly felt a chill on her railbone. Her weak body suddenly turned over and pressed Ye Jingtang’s hand down. Her eyes were full of shame and anger. “It’s from the fengfu acupoint to the yangguan acupoint. Where were you going to touch?”

“Hmm?” Ye Jingtang was slightly puzzled. “Isn’t it the governor meridian? 1 remember that the governor meridian goes to…”

Pei Xiangjun’s face flushed red. She wanted to speak, but she didn’t have the strength.

Luo Ning’s thoughtful expression turned strange as she whispered, “It just goes to the yangguan acupoint behind the waist. Little thief, you didn’t touch…”

Ye Jingtang’s expression was normal as he pulled out his hand that was pressing on the moon. “You didn’t tell me. You just said the governor meridian, so I would naturally apply medicine along the governor meridian.”

Pei Xiangjun’s face was as red as blood, and there were tears in her eyes. She closed her eyes and didn’t speak.

Luo Ning looked at the female boss’s ashamed and resentful expression and felt much better. She praised softly, “You’re not wrong. She’s the one who’s being coy. She doesn’t even understand the principle of you shouldn’t be afraid of treatment when you’re sick1.”

Ye Jingtang blinked. You still have the cheek to say that? When 1 treated your injuries, you cried, made a fuss, and almost scratched me to death…

After Ye Jingtang applied the medicine, because they were not out of danger, he couldn’t get any distracting thoughts. He only used a black cloth to wrap Third Lady up.

While he was busy, a sound came from outside the window. “Chirp chirp!”

Ye Jingtang got up and went to the outer room. When he opened the door, the bird landed from the eaves and raised its wing to point into the distance. “Chirp!”

Ye Jingtang knew that the bird had found the ambushers” hiding place, but the effects of the snow moth scale medicine wouldn’t fade for a while. He couldn’t carry the two women to fight, let alone leave alone. He immediately took out a small bag of dried meat from his waist and handed it to the bird. “Keep an eye on the surroundings. Cali me when you’re sleepy.”

“Chirp…” The bird was obviously a little unhappy that it had found the prey, but Ye Jingtang refused to catch them. However, it still grabbed the jerky with its claws and flew to the surrounding trees…

Meanwhile, on a small cargo ship by the riverbank in the suburbs of Broad Crossing…

No movement could be seen on the cargo ship from the outside, but lights were on in the cabin below the deck.

Wang Chengjing took off his outer robe. The flesh wound under his ribs had already been wrapped in a white cloth around his waist. Blood was seeping out of the cloth. He was holding a needle and thread in his hand and suturing Second Wang’s shoulder.

Second Wang had been struck twice in the shoulder, one of which was a wound where a spear had penetrated. He was leaning against the wall with anger in his eyes. “Zhou Ying is really a f*cking bastard. He said that he had fought against Ye Silang and that either of us could kill him easily… Who the f*ck was killing whom? Ye Silang is the same. He doesn’t have the demeanor of an expert at all. His martial arts are so damn high, but he even arranged a bunch of sentries to hide and protect his ass. He didn’t even let us escape…”

Wang Chengjing also had lingering fears, but his expression was much calmer. “After taking the silver, you have to judge the situation yourself. If the employer knows the opponent clearly, why would he hire someone to kill him? Ye Silang is indeed unbelievably strong. If we encounter him alone, we might not be able to succeed. Let’s leave immediately and change targets.”

Second Wang frowned and said, “Still killing?! It’s because Ye Jingtang’s martial arts level is unknown and he’s a member of the government that he isn’t easy to kill. That’s why we prioritized killing the easier Ye Silang. We can’t even kill Ye Silang. What if Ye Jingtang is some kind of freak… Why don’t we just leave?”

Hearing this, Wang Chengjing shook his head. He knew in his heart that this job wouldn’t be easy to do, but how many jobs were easy in the murder business?

The two brothers had already offended the Cutting Cloud Palace. They could still survive as wanderers, but if they wanted to take root and establish a sect, it wouldn’t be long before they were found.

Wang Chengjing’s martial arts skills were not bad. If he didn’t want to be a wanderer who lived a life of bloodshed all his life, he had to do something big. He had to get enough funds and go to Northern Liang’s Jianghu to start from scratch and develop his territory and power.

The Zhou family was very generous, but the deposit was only 3,000 taels of silver. This was enough to live without worries about food and clothing, but it wasn’t enough to establish a decent water transport and escort agency. He couldn’t live a bitter life in an escort agency in a small border city.

“People like Ye Silang are the prodigies of Jianghu. Their luck is too good. Whoever gets in their way will die. It’s unlikely for two people to appear in a generation. According to the intelligence, Ye Jingtang is only about twenty years old. No matter how talented he is, he can t be as ridiculous as Ye Silang. As long as we find a good opportunity, it won’t be difficult to kill him.”

Second Wang actually had his doubts, but he had always listened to his brother since he was young. He didn’t say much and changed the topic. “After completing this task, we have to get the Zhou family to pay more. The information was so wrong that it was completely joking with our lives.”

“Let’s finish this matter first. Ye Jingtang is a public figure, and Zhou Ying is avenging his father.. It shouldn’t be a problem to get information…”
