When he opened his eyes, his abdomen hurt, but the pain meant that he was still alive.
The young man lay on the bed, lowered his head, and saw that his abdomen was bandaged. In addition to the smell of blood, there was also the medicinal smell of ginseng in his mouth.
Someone saved me.
A vague figure appeared in his mind, which seemed to be a woman...
At this moment, the door suddenly opened and a little boy with red lips and white teeth came out.
That little boy is really good-looking. He looks like a New Year painting doll and has a very different temperament. At first glance, he is no ordinary child.
The child was not afraid of him. He came closer, put the medicine in front of him, and said in a milky voice: "Brother, take the medicine."
He looked at the child, instinctively vigilant, and then thought, if the other party really wanted his life, he would have killed him long ago, why wait until now?
The young man picked up the medicine and drank it, and the bitterness spread.
But my belly felt warm and very comfortable.
After the child delivered the medicine, he turned around and left.
The young man was lying on the bed, actually feeling a little anxious. He wanted to see the person who saved him...
After a while, the door opened.
The young man looked up and was shocked for a moment when he saw the person coming.
She is a woman, very young, with simple attire but extraordinary temperament.
The woman looked at him and raised her eyebrows: "Are you awake?"
The young man nodded: "You saved me?"
The woman said nothing, but it was obvious that his question was nonsense.
"The one hundred thousand gold I promised will be given to you when I return to the capital." He promised, and then continued, "My name is Chu Yan, and I am the son of a wealthy merchant in the capital. Those officers and soldiers outside are not real officers and soldiers, but
The gangster is interested in my family's wealth and wants to arrest me and threaten my father. If the girl can help me return to Beijing, I will promise you another hundred thousand taels of gold."
The woman smiled with an unknown meaning, which made Chu Yan's heart skip a beat.
Just then, the sound of neat footsteps came from downstairs.
"Search!" came the voice of officers and soldiers.
The young man's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but look at the woman.
As a result, the woman didn't even look at him, turned around and left.
The young man's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Will she hand herself over?
In front of those fierce soldiers, whether they are real officers and soldiers or criminal gangsters, most people will choose to protect themselves wisely.
Who would save him for the illusory two hundred thousand gold?
Jiang Yao walked out of the room and saw a group of soldiers rushing in.
The leader is the one-armed, one-eyed commander surnamed Zhu.
"This commander suspects that you are hiding a gangster and wants to search!"
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed to apologize, but the commander surnamed Zhu waved him away and fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
What a cruel Lord.
The rest of the people shivered and huddled aside, fearing to offend him.
Commander Zhu suddenly raised his head, looked at Jiang Yao with his bloodthirsty eyes, and pursed his lips tightly.
Like a hunter seeing his prey!
Commander Zhu walked straight to Jiang Yao: "Where is your room? I want to search it myself!"
Those eyes swept over Jiang Yao, obviously with bad intentions.
Jiang Yao held back her nausea and pointed to one of the rooms.
Commander Zhu pushed open the door, took Jiang Yao with his other hand, and pulled her in.
Jiang Yao glanced at the bed, which was already empty.
"Is there something hidden on your body? I want to search it." He said that he was going to pull Jiang Yao's clothes.
Jiang Yao nimbly moved out of the way: "Sir, close the door first."
Commander Zhu smiled evilly and turned to close the door.
The moment the door closed, Jiang Yao's face became extremely cold, filled with murderous intent.
