Xie Heng became anxious when he saw Shen Tianshu suddenly being controlled by others.
His mission is to protect Shen Tianshu. Whether Yunchang and Miss Bai are caught or not has nothing to do with him.
But if Shen Tianshu gets injured or something happens, his mission will be a complete failure.
But the bright dagger was pressed against Shen Tianshu's neck, and he did not dare to act rashly.
"Ms. Tong, I'm sorry, I'm offended..." Wen Fang said tremblingly, "Please come with us first!
"Don't worry, our girl is very nice and she won't harm you."
Wenfang pulled Shen Tianshu out, wanting to meet Miss Bai.
She had never done anything like this before, and her hands were shaking with nervousness.
Shen Tianshu could feel the coldness of the dagger on the side of his neck and did not dare to move. He followed her slowly and patiently waited for the opportunity.
Wenfang pulled her to the door. In order to step over the piles of corpses, she involuntarily focused her attention on her feet, inevitably ignoring the dagger in her hand.
The blade gradually moved away from its position and no longer clung to his neck.
Shen Tianshu immediately seized the opportunity and punched Wen Fang behind the ear with his backhand.
The post-auricular point located on the upper edge of the mandible and behind the lower auricle is a very fatal point.
Once this point is hit, it can range from bleeding in the ear to death in severe cases.
Shen Tianshu was already familiar with the acupuncture points all over the body, so even though his back was turned to Wenfang, he still hit the target accurately.
Wenfang fainted instantly, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.
Xie Heng immediately rushed up, kicked Wen Fang away, stepped on the dagger, reached out to hold Shen Tianshu's arm, and asked anxiously: "You are not injured, are you?"
Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Miss Bai turned around and ran away without caring about Yunchang and Wenfang.
The two secret guards outside the door were currently confronting the guards in Zhuangzi and could not get away.
When Gao Xiuer saw this, he gritted his teeth and chased after him.
But Miss Bai was very familiar with Zhuangzi, so she quickly got rid of Gao Xiuer and went around in a circle into the rockery in the backyard.
There is a large space in the rockery, and there are already three men and two women waiting in it.
The three men are Yunchang's subordinates, and the remaining one, a woman and a maid, are Miss Bai's confidants.
A stone slab was lifted, revealing the dark tunnel entrance below.
Seeing Miss Bai running in on her own, the young man who had been sent out by Yunchang to investigate hurriedly asked: "Where is Brother Chang?"
"Yunchang was captured by the people led by Mrs. Tong. If we don't leave quickly, they will catch up!"
As soon as the young man heard this, he turned around and was about to run out, but was stopped by the person next to him: "There is no time, please understand, our task is to protect Miss Bai from leaving!"
"Should we just leave Brother Chang alone?" the young man asked anxiously.
"If Brother Chang can't get away, what's the use of you going there? It's just giving people heads!"
"Can……"
The young man wanted to argue a few more words, but another person came in from outside the rockery and said: "I have some bad news for you. Prince Rui has already rushed into Zhuangzi with the guards of the Prince's Palace."
"Xu Yao'er?" Miss Bai never expected that the person coming was her, "Why is it you! How do you know this place?"
"Girl, now is not the time to think about this." Shen Yunyao said, "If you keep lingering, you really won't be able to leave!"
Miss Bai had no intention of taking Xu Yao'er with her, but she had no time to verify the authenticity of her words at this time, so she could only take the lead and go down the ladder to the tunnel.
Two confidants followed closely, Xu Yaoer followed them, and three of Yunchang's men were responsible for cutting off the rear.
But in this matter, Shen Yunyao really didn't lie.
The falcons hovered in front and led the way. The guards protected Li Zian and followed him into Zhuangzi, heading straight to where Shen Tianshu was.
As soon as the guards entered the door, they spread out and controlled all the guards in the main courtyard, clearing all obstacles in front of Li Zian.
As soon as Li Zian entered the room, he could only see Shen Tianshu.
Without stopping, he stepped on the bodies of several people on the ground and rushed over.
"Why are you hurt?"
"Injured?" Shen Tianshu blinked, not knowing what he was talking about, "Master, I am not injured."
In desperation, Li Zian reached out and touched the side of Shen Tianshu's neck lightly and said, "It's bleeding."
After being touched like this, Shen Tianshu felt a real sting on the side of his neck.
She raised her hand and touched it, and found that her fingertips were indeed stained with blood.
"It's okay, I probably got a scratch accidentally just now." Shen Tianshu didn't care about the small wound and said anxiously, "Miss Bai ran away, did you stop her?"
"Fan Yuru led people to chase her." Li Zian pulled Shen Tianshu to the side and sat down. He took out a bag of gold wound medicine from his arms and carefully applied the powder to her wound.
He was afraid of hurting Shen Tianshu, so he tried his best to control his strength, but instead it made her itchy and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"Don't move." Li Zian's mind was entirely on Shen Tianshu's wounds.
He reached out to hold the side of her face, lowered his head to confirm that the medicine had been applied, and then finally moved his eyes away from the wound, only to realize how intimate the two of them were now.
The blush on Shen Tianshu's face had spread all the way from his ears to his neck.
"Master Shizi!"
Seeing Fan Yuru coming in from outside, the two people distanced themselves as fast as lightning.
Li Zian stood up straight, raised his hand and clenched his fist to cover his mouth, coughed before asking: "Have you caught anyone?"
"Miss Bai and a few people have already escaped." Fan Yuru said, "It was only after I led the people to chase after me that I found out that the village looked normal on the surface, but in fact most of the ground had been hollowed out.
"There are many criss-crossing secret passages and cells in disrepair down there. They must have been used for some illegal activities a long time ago.
"It's just that most of them are abandoned now, and the only purpose left is for escape.
"I have ordered Xie Yan to lead the men to continue the pursuit, but the secret passage below is extremely complicated and has many forks. It must be difficult to capture him."
Li Zian said solemnly: "Go ahead and step up checks at all major city gates and intersections to prevent her from escaping from Huguang."
"Yes!" Fan Yuru accepted the order and left.
Soon someone came to report: "Your Majesty, many women, as well as a woman in labor and several pregnant women were found in the Western Hospital. Please tell me how to deal with them."
"In the west courtyard, Miss Bai should have raised them for medicinal purposes, right?"
When the word "test medicine" came up, Li Zian couldn't help showing a disgusted expression.
Hearing this, Shen Tianshu suggested: "My lord, although they are all miserable people, Miss Bai is quite good at winning people's hearts. There is no guarantee that there will be crazy people among them who are willing to risk their lives for her.
“Besides, there are pregnant women and parturient women in the yard, so it’s inconvenient to do so at night.
"It's better to lock them in the west courtyard and make a decision after checking them one by one tomorrow."
