Riding the Pheonix Chapter 373: Cruel

Ming Wei couldn't laugh or cry: "Sir, you just remembered?"

Hou Liang nodded while crying, not forgetting to show his loyalty at this time: "Miss Ming, you see, I even forgot to take the poison, and I only focus on protecting you. It shows that I am sincere, right?"

Mingwei said helplessly: "Yes."

"You won't treat me as an outsider again in the future, right?"

"Of course."

"When I return to Gaotang, can I be like Uncle Xuan and ask for a separate yard?"

"Yes."

"There are also matters in the study room..."

"Don't push yourself too far!" Duofu gasped, "My young lady will not enter Mr. Yang's study easily!"

Hou Liang hurriedly apologized and said: "Yes, yes, I got anxious at some point. Girl, please help me first?"

Mingwei asked: "Don't you know medical skills, sir? Didn't you take your own pulse?"

Hou Liang said with a sad face: "Doctors don't heal themselves. I'm not very proficient in medical skills. How can I accurately read my own pulse?"

Ming Wei was funny: "How long have you been taking poison, sir?"

"Um...more than an hour?"

"You are still standing well for more than an hour, which shows that it is not an acute poison." She said slowly, "And I see that your face is rosy and your speech is clear. It doesn't look like you were poisoned."

Hou Liang was anxious: "But I did take poison, and my stomach hurts. Girl, why don't you help me take a look?"

"Okay." Mingwei reluctantly reached for his pulse.

After a while, she took back her hand.

Hou Liang asked nervously: "How is it? What kind of poison is it? Can it be cured?"

Mingwei sighed and asked, "Sir, do you really want to go to the toilet now?"

Hou Liang nodded quickly: "Yes."

"Isn't the poison smelly?"

Hou Liang thought about it carefully: "He threw it directly into my throat. There was no taste at all, but after swallowing it, my throat felt greasy and a little disgusting."

Mingwei smiled again.

Hou Liang was so anxious that he almost knelt down and begged her: "Miss Ming! For the sake of helping me along the way, please give me a way out!"

Mingwei finally laughed out loud, and because of the internal injuries, he could only hold his chest and endure it: "Don't worry, you can't die."

"What?"

"Sir, this symptom is probably diarrhea. If you think about it carefully, that thing should be a piece of dirty stuff. Sheng Qi has been following us for many days, and his whole body smells very bad. He must not have taken a shower for a long time. Maybe he just I collected materials from the ground and rubbed some dirt off my body... After all, poison is not cheap, so it might be a waste to use it on you."

Hou Liang slowly moved his eyes to Sheng Qi's body, looking at the exposed skin of his neck, covered with a thick layer of dirt...

"Ugh!" He quickly ran to the other side of the hillside.

Ming finished smiling and looked at Duofu: "Are you okay?"

Duofu was seriously injured, with several wounds on his arms and back, but the most serious one was on his shoulder.

Sheng Qi’s strike was so punctured that even the bones were broken.

The conditions were so simple that Hou Liang could only use sewing needles to forcibly sew her up to avoid excessive blood loss. When she returned to Gaotang, she had to ask a doctor to give her good treatment.

The arm on the shoulder is temporarily disabled. Duofu is now a seriously injured patient like her, and it hurts more than her. He had obviously been restraining himself from speaking, but tears were streaming down his face.

"Miss, I'm fine." Duofu wiped his tears with his good arm.

"It's okay after everything is like this." Mingwei sighed softly, "I'll take you out this time and make you suffer."

Duofu shed tears and shook her head: "I am very happy to be with the lady." After a pause, she whispered, "Besides, I feel that I am so powerful and can do many things, which makes me even happier."

Ming Wei smiled slightly and said softly: "As long as you are happy. The most meaningful thing for an individual is to discover your own value. Congratulations, how blessed you are."

"Yeah." Duofu laughed.

She didn't quite understand what the young lady said, but she had a vague understanding of it.

Mingwei picked out a bag of pills and handed them to her: "Take one pill every day to relieve the pain. At least we can get through the next few days."

"Yes, Miss."

Hou Liang came back with a look of exhaustion.

Mingwei had already picked up Sheng Qi's body, washed his hands and was looking through it. Seeing him coming back, I glanced at him and said, "Are you ready?"

Hou Liang frowned: "It seems to be fine."

"It's just diarrhea, right?"

He continued to nod. Seeing Sheng Qi on the ground, I felt a little sick again.

But Mingwei pointed again: "Hurry up and dig a hole and bury him."

Hou Liang had a grimace on his face: "Miss Ming, I am a scholar who has no power to tie a chicken..."

Mingwei answered calmly: "It's okay if you don't bury him. If Su Tu doesn't go back, he will know that we have no fighting power when he sees the body. Can you guess the outcome?"

Hou Liang imagined the scene and immediately said: "I will bury it, I will bury it!"

Ming looked at him with a smile as he found a place to dig a hole.

Hou Liang was sweating profusely while digging. It wasn't until night fell that he dug a shallow pit and dragged Sheng Qi's body in.

While burying his head, he muttered: "I should have known..."

"Sir, you really think it would be better to stay with Su Tu, right?"

Hou Liang laughed dryly: "How could that be? Of course it's better to follow the girl. Su Tu is a barbarian, what does he know?"

"That's not what Mr. Mister said in Tianshen Mountain!"

"Haha, isn't that just to fool him..."

Ming Ming smiled ~IndoMTL.com~ and said warmly: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Duofu. Both Duofu and I were injured, and you will be tired from the rest of the journey."

Hou Liang was flattered when she spoke so softly: "Ah, no, how could it be possible? It should, it should..."

After burying the body and erasing the traces of fighting around them, the three of them rested.

They need to keep their spirits up and start escaping tomorrow.

This time is a real escape. Two people who have lost their fighting power, and Hou Liang alone, will die if caught!

"Ah, maybe Su Tu has gone back? He has become Lord Hu, so he should cherish his life, right?" Hou Liang thought to himself.

At this point, he couldn't turn back even if he wanted to.

Su Tu, who kept a low profile and went from being an unpopular prince to becoming the master of the grassland, must be ruthless.

No matter how much he likes Central Plains culture, there is no shortage of Hou Liang. When he becomes the real Lord Hu, which is different from when he was a prince, if he is willing, there will be down-and-out literati who will seek refuge with him.

Thinking of this, Hou Liang wanted to cry again.

He doesn't want to be a loyal person. He has always been a villain. Why did he become like this? With two half-disabled women on the run on the grassland, the future is uncertain and I don’t know where the road is...

"Sir, it's better to give up." Mingwei's slow voice came, "With Su Tu's personality, it's impossible to let go completely. If he doesn't chase him now, he's not sure. But do you think he will send someone to follow him? Shall we investigate the whereabouts?"

Hou Liang suddenly collapsed: "Girl, can't you just make me happy?"

"False happiness will not last long. The bubble of fantasy must be burst!"

"You are so cruel..."...
