The carriage galloped forward at full speed. Suddenly, Lu Shu heard someone shouting outside, "Stop! Stop the carriage quickly!"
Frowning, he lifted the curtain and looked out. There was a disheveled man running after the carriage.
The man looked up, and it was Jiang Linyin, the person they had been looking for for a long time.
His clothes were tattered, as if he had escaped from some great ordeal.
Lu Shu glanced at Ji Yunxi. "Lord, that man seems to be Jiang Linyin."
Ji Yunxi seemed to see hope. She immediately exclaimed, "Quick! Let him get on!"
Jiang Linyin lifted the curtain and got in. "Quick, give me some water. Hurry up!"
Lu Shu didn't say a word but handed him the water in his hand. He tilted his head and drank it. Only then did he notice something unusual in the carriage.
Ji Yunxi was holding Feng Xingzhi's hand with red - swollen eyes, and Feng Xingzhi was lying in the carriage, his breath weak. Even Lu Shu looked extremely anxious.
"What happened?" Jiang Linyin was secretly startled.
Ji Yunxi said with a sob, "Jiang Yaoji stabbed him with her sword."
Jiang Linyin was greatly shocked upon hearing this. "How could he be stabbed by her! This is terrible! Jiang Yaoji's sword is no ordinary sword. Her sword has divine power. An ordinary person would die immediately if stabbed by it!"
Lu Shu also got anxious. No matter what their master's previous identity was, after reincarnation, they were all mortal bodies. There was a risk that Feng Xingzhi's physical body might dissipate because of this sword wound.
"What should we do then?!"
Jiang Linyin suddenly smiled. "So, it seems we're fated. Fortunately, you met me. I may not have many other skills, but I'm quite good at treating the sick and saving the dying. So, I'm somewhat confident that I can save his life."
His confident look reassured Ji Yunxi. She finally let go of Feng Xingzhi's hand and knelt directly in front of Jiang Linyin. "Save him, please."
She only knelt before heaven, earth, and her parents. She had grown up being doted on by her father and brother and was almost the most noble young lady. But now, for Feng Xingzhi, she knelt directly in front of Jiang Linyin.
Jiang Linyin obviously didn't expect this. He was stunned at first, then quickly reached out to help her up.
"Why are you being so polite!"
Muttering to himself, he took out a few pills from his tattered clothes and handed them to Ji Yunxi. "Feed them to him."
Ji Yunxi didn't have the time to doubt whether the pills were real or fake. She took them and carefully fed them to Feng Xingzhi.
"These pills can only barely maintain his life. I'll treat him properly when we reach a suitable place." Jiang Linyin leaned back and slumped in the carriage, taking a big breath of relief.
Seeing that Feng Xingzhi's breathing gradually became stronger after taking the pills, Ji Yunxi finally felt relieved.
"You don't need to worry now. Worrying is useless. I said I can save him, and I will."
Jiang Linyin turned over, found a comfortable position, and then fell asleep.
Ji Yunxi looked at Feng Xingzhi and nodded silently.
She thought, as long as you're okay, that's enough.
With Jiang Linyin on board, everyone gradually calmed down.
The carriage didn't slow down. It was so fast that Jiang Linyin felt uncomfortable lying down.
"Sigh..." Jiang Linyin sighed deeply. Holding the dry food Lu Shu had given him, he said, "Fortunately, I can still live to eat."
Lu Shu had always been bothered by not seeing Jiang Linyin in Kunlun Mountain. So he asked, "Where have you been these days? You told us to go to Kunlun Mountain, but you disappeared."
Jiang Linyin paused his hand, as if he had remembered something unpleasant. He immediately sighed. "Don't mention it. It's a long story."
Their conversation caught Ji Yunxi's attention. She turned to look. "Doctor Jiang, I also want to know."
"Okay, it's okay to tell you. Actually, I said to go to Kunlun Mountain because I had heard before that there were records about Miss Ji's illness in the library of Kunlun Mountain. But you know, I'm just a doctor. If you ask me to go to Kunlun Mountain alone, it's just making things difficult for me."
He spread out his hands, not minding at all to expose his weakness.
"I guessed it. After I got to Kunlun Mountain, I guessed that you wanted me to go to the library, but I never saw you come."
Jiang Linyin pouted. "You can't blame me for this. It's all because of Jiang Yaoji. She somehow found out that I had contacted you and actually sent someone to arrest me!"
Ji Yunxi and Lu Shu glanced at each other.
"After I was arrested, I was locked up all the time. They didn't even give me water or food!"
Lu Shu glanced at him. "Then how did you..."
"You underestimate me. I'm a divine doctor. Not eating or drinking for just over a month, I can still rely on pills to sustain my life."
Ji Yunxi really underestimated him. She didn't expect that he had practiced medicine to such an incredible level.
Lu Shu didn't quite understand. "Normally, you're an elder of the Jiang family. Why did she treat you like this?"
"How could I have expected that? She used to be very respectful to me." Jiang Linyin sounded dissatisfied when he mentioned Jiang Yaoji. "But in my opinion, she's really strange. And why did she attack you?"
Ji Yunxi didn't tell him about the grudges from the previous lives. She only told him about the fact that Jiang Yaoji had poisoned the Queen of Beidi.
"It's really terrible. How could she poison someone?! That person is the queen! If something really happened, I'm afraid none of the four countries would be at peace!" Jiang Linyin was indignant.
Ji Yunxi smiled bitterly in her heart. Even Jiang Linyin knew the consequences. How could Jiang Yaoji not know? But she still did as she pleased, treating the lives of the common people as a joke.
Who among those aristocratic children would have thought before they set off that they were just being used as scapegoats?
How could those disciples of the Moon - Viewing Pavilion who died miserably in the Blue Water Lake have thought that they were just pawns to Jiang Yaoji?
Jiang Yaoji's actions made Jiang Linyin despise her. "It's so terrible. This woman is really..."
He couldn't even find the right words to describe her viciousness for a moment.
Lu Shu couldn't help but mock. "Isn't she the family head chosen by your Jiang family? Now she's on our side."
Jiang Linyin shook his head helplessly. "She's so vicious - minded. She's no longer the person she used to be. How can you blame us?"
Ji Yunxi stopped Lu Shu. "Don't say that. Doctor Jiang is also a victim now."
Jiang Linyin saw that although she was already very sad, she still comforted him. "You don't need to worry. Feng Xingzhi's injury looks scary, but I can save him."
Ji Yunxi nodded. "Thank you."
"By the way, about your illness, I've always wanted to ask. How is it?"
Ji Yunxi didn't say a word but just shook her head.
Seeing this, Lu Shu motioned for Jiang Linyin not to ask anymore. Although he was curious, he still nodded.
