“It’s true! Something that is hard to buy even with tens of thousands of gold, the Chunyi Shengzi that would give you good fortune for three lifetimes!” 

Helian Rongchuan’s heart sank. When he looked back, he saw Yan Changqing’s eyebrows with a small, blood-like red mole. He immediately stood in front of Yan Changqing and said, “Quickly go!” 

Yan Changqing knew that something was wrong, and immediately picked up the little girl to retreat, but the green-eyed wealthy businessman was unwilling to let him go. He immediately chased him like a hungry tiger. 

“Grab him!!”

The sharp and excited shouts echoed in the cave, and almost everyone rushed in Yan Changqing’s direction. In the chaos, there was the sound of a sword unsheathed and countless sharp blades pointed at Yan Changqing, unwilling to wait to snatch this priceless sacrifice. Yan Changqing’s face was like frost. He carried the little girl on his shoulders, and elbowed the rich businessman who rushed forward. With a strong waist, he leaped up and stepped on the moving heads towards the exit of the cave. 

“Don’t let him run away!” 

The wealthy businessmen who had been dazzled by the tens of thousands of gold were not willing to give up. He grabbed a knife, and aggressively charged towards the cave entrance.Helian Rongchuan immediately drew a scimitar to block the crowd.

“Oh, so you are in the same group!” A wealthy businessman suddenly pointed at Helian Rongchuan and shouted. “The Chunyi Shengzi follows him. Kill him, and the Shengzi will be ours!” 

Helian Rongchuan was surrounded by heavy swords and shadows, and sneered without fear. “Yes, the Chunyi Shengzi is mine. If you want to take him, you must pass me first!” His eyes turned cold, and his blade shot out! 

Yan Changqing had already rushed to the entrance of the cave. He placed the little girl in a secluded corner and looked back in the direction of Helian Rongchuan. He saw that the fight was in full swing there, and the figure of Helian Rongchuan could not be seen in the shadows of the sword. Yan Changqing’s eyes darkened, and he suddenly drew out his sword and flew back to help. 

Helian Rongchuan was heavily surrounded and his retreat was blocked. He cursed secretly and decided to fight obstinately. These pampered and wealthy businessmen were actually not his opponents at all, but as the saying goes, a punch thrown in confusion can kill a master. More and more people flocked to the master. There were three to four hundred people, all with knives. There were even servants who knew martial arts. Helian Rongchuan repelled more than fifty people, one after another, but the encirclement became tighter and tighter. Helian Rongchuan gradually struggled. While trying to block them, he looked towards the exit of the cave, looking for Yan Changqing’s figure.

His Changqing, has he escaped? 

Suddenly, a sharp blade slashed towards him. 

“Clang!” 

Sparks flew in all directions, and Yan Changqing’s body flew forwards, a pair of double swords slashed at Helian Rongchuan’s long swords. 

Helian Rongchuan yelled anxiously. “Why are you back again!” 

Yan Changqing palmed away another set of claws rushing towards him, knocking him out all the way. Without looking back, he coldly said: 

“Like I need you to mind me.”

The great witch doctor stood on the high platform and saw Yan Changqing’s figure, and there was a greedy green light flashing in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, dozens of dark shadows suddenly leaped into the air from the walls of the cave, and sword shadows rushed straight into the center of the crowd. These men in black were the black market guards, well-trained and ruthless. They quickly surrounded the two of them, all wanting to capture Yan Changqing alive. 

There were too many enemies. Helian Rongchuan and Yan Changqing stepped back, sweating on their foreheads. 

D*mn, why isn’t the little doctor here yet! 

The two were pressed against each other’s backs, protecting each other’s blind spot behind each other. Yan Changqing said solemnly, “I will count to three, and then I will make a gap from the right. You take the opportunity to escape first!” 

“It’s useless even if you count to six.” Helian Rongchuan said firmly, “They dare try to steal my treasure, I will fight them to death!” 

Yan Changqing choked speechless. Why is this person inappropriate all the time?!

Then, a silver light flashed in the air. It was a sharp short knife that had been released. It flew over to Yan Changqing in a whirl. However, Yan Changqing was fighting with three men in black at the same time. So, in the shadow of a sword, there was no time to dodge! 

Helian Rongchuan’s pupils shrank sharply, and without thinking about it, he rushed towards Yan Changqing. 

“Mmm.” There was a fierce pain, and Helian Rongchuan cried out in pain and fell to the ground. A seven-to-eight-inch-long blood hole was cut across his left abdomen by a flying knife, and bright red blood poured out instantly. 

A young wealthy businessman dressed in Bei Rong attire had red eyes. Seeing Helian Rongchuan was injured by his knife, he immediately shouted excitedly, “It’s mine”, and picked up the bloody knife that fell aside. Then, he rushed forward regardless of everything else. 

Helian Rongchuan pressed his abdomen to stop the bleeding. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Yan Changqing’s heart froze for an instant. 

“Ah!!!” 

The wealthy businessman only wanted to kill Helian Rongchuan, but he didn’t expect the Chunyi Shengzi to move so quickly. Before he could see clearly, he let out a scream. 

The wealthy businessman was kicked into the air, and then landed heavily on the ground. He was forced to spat out a mouthful of blood. Struggling on the ground, he stopped moving. 

This kick was quite a deterrent, and many wealthy businessmen began to retreat somewhat hesitantly. Although tens of thousands of gold was rare, life was more important. 

Yan Changqing turned around and carefully picked up Helian Rongchuan, trying to check his injury, but Helian Rongchuan tightly covered his wound, preventing Yan Changqing from looking. He smiled indifferently. “Small injury, don’t worry.”

However, a lot of blood was constantly pouring out of his fingers like a stream. 

Yan Changqing knew that Helian Rongchuan’s sword was blocked by him, so he pressed his lips tightly together, and his arms trembled. 

A way came out from the crowd. The great witch doctor walked out of the crowd unhurriedly. His green eyes carefully looked at the red mole between Yan Changqing’s eyebrows, and said, “The Chunyi Shengzi is a supreme offering to the white wolf king, you should feel glory, no?” 

Helian Rongchuan tremblingly stepped forward, blocking Yan Changqing. His face turned pale, and smiled. “Then I ask you, this supreme sacrifice, how much can it be sold for?” 

Immediately a wealthy businessman shouted out behind the great witch doctor. “I’m willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold!” 

“I offer 13 thousand taels!” 

“For my future generations, I will give out 18 thousand taels and a hundred acres of fertile land!” 

Helian Rongchuan spoke in his heart: no wonder so many people desperately tried to grab Yan Changqing. Whoever caught him, can sell him for tens of thousands of taels of gold. He couldn’t help but smile. It really made his words come true, his big treasure is really a big treasure! 

Seeing Helian Rongchuan’s silence, the great witch doctor said, “The Chunyi Shengzi is pure and flawless, how can it be compared with tens of thousands of gold? If you are willing to voluntarily sell him, I will spare your death and allow you to be the number one sacred disciple of the White Wolf King. You will live forever and be blessed by the White Wolf King!”

Yan Changqing frowned deeply. He originally thought that the wealthy businessmen around him would definitely be disdainful and mocking after hearing the words of the great witch doctor, but he did not expect that there was silence around him. Many people even showed envy and yearning. Yan Changqing couldn’t help feeling a chill in his heart. An illusory name and promise, in the eyes of these wealthy businessmen, was even more fascinating than tens of thousands of gold and good land. It shows how serious the people here were indulging in ghosts, gods and witches! 

Helian Rongchuan smiled, pretending to be surprised and said, “Oh, that’s a bargain but then, my Chunyi Shengzi’s temperament is very tough, I’ll have to persuade him for him to obey.” 

He said this while looking at Yan Changqing.

The great witch doctor thought that Helian Rongchuan was driven to a desperate situation, lured by the profit and was really shaken. He immediately said, “Okay, then you can persuade him. I will give you half a stick of incense.” 

Helian Rongchuan turned around. Pale, with a very regretful tone, he weakly said, “My treasure, master will have to let you down and sell you and send you down to the yellow spring road. If you need to blame someone, blame yourself for refusing to follow me earlier.” 

Yan Changqing: … 

Yan Changqing knew that Helian Rongchuan must be playing some sort of trick, so he had to cooperate in silence. 

Helian Rongchuan continued. “At the fork in the road where we are about to break up, don’t say goodbye to the little child in tears and share the benefits. You and I will follow the example of our predecessors, let’s just separate like this!” 

Yan Changqing: …

If it was normally, at this time, Yan Changqing would have seriously criticized Helian Rongchuan on misinterpreting poems at will again. But on this occasion, Yan Changqing had to silently watch Helian Rongchuan make things up seriously. 

Helian Rongchuan gently took off Yan Changqing’s veil, splashed it with water in the deerskin water bag he carried with him, and helped him put it back on again. 

Yan Changqing:??? 

Helian Rongchuan said, “What are you looking at? Share the benefits.” 

He said that as he poured a handful of water on his veil. He got close to Yan Changqing and seemed to say goodbye, but what he said was, “Run!” 

Yan Changqing’s eyes widened suddenly, only to hear dozens of loud popping noises suddenly resounding in the cave. A pungent, stinking yellow smoke suddenly rose from all sides of the cave. 

In the smoke, the soldiers who finally broke through the obstacles rushed in. Xiang Yu rushed to the forefront unstoppably with Wei Jin following him closely. He avoided the attacks of the great witch doctor, while stabbing out needles, and constantly throwing silver balls the size of eggs into the crowds. 

Where the silver ball fell, a pungent yellow smell rose instantly. 

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, it stinks! I can’t breathe!”

“The smoke is poisonous, poisonous!” Unsuspecting wealthy businessmen covered their noses one after another. What tens of thousands of taels, what Chunyi Shengzi, they couldn’t care about any of those things. Right now each of them were choking and crying out tears, their souls coming out of their body, and hurriedly trying to flee. 

Yan Changqing gave Helian Rongchuan a dumbfounded look. No wonder he wanted to “share the benefits!” It turned out to be to defend against the little doctor’s stink bomb. 

Helian Rongchuan covered the wound on his abdomen, smiled, and raised his chin to remind Yan Changqing to pay attention to the direction of where the great witch doctor was fleeing.

How could Yan Changqing not know that the great witch doctor was escaping, but he looked at the terrible wound in Helian Rongchuan’s abdomen. Holding the hilt of his sword, he stopped moving. 

“I’m okay.” Helian Rongchuan smiled: “Don’t worry about me.” 

Yan Changqing looked at Helian Rongchuan silently, no emotions could be seen in the clear and sharp black eyes. Suddenly, Yan Changqing stepped forward, stubbornly put Helian Rongchuan’s arm on his shoulder, and carried him toward the entrance of the cave. 

Helian Rongchuan grinned with pain, but still continued to laugh: “Hey, General Yan, your big fish is getting away, you really don’t want to catch it?” 

Yan Changqing pressed his lips tightly for a long time before he said coldly: 

“Like I need you to worry.” 

————– 

The next morning. 

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It hurts!!!” 

A few little sparrows with flapping wings landed on a tent, and were about to rest and tidy up their feathers when they were suddenly shocked by a heart-piercing scream in the tent. They nearly fell off and hurriedly flew away. 

Inside the tent, Helian Rongchuan continued to scream: “I can’t stand it anymore!!!”

Wei Jin’s mouth twitched, trying to control his big white eyes not to roll all the way back. He patiently said: “Your Royal Highness, this is Zhitong San, applying it is for pain relief.” 

The Zhitong San, which was researched by Wei Jin personally, had always had an immediate effect. Even if a squeamish baby of several months was injured, he would not cry in pain, not to mention this eight foot tall Man! What are you pretending for! ! !

“Ahhhh, I’m going to die!” 

Helian Rongchuan laid on the couch and continued to shout. 

Wei Jin felt his ears were going to go deaf fast. He looked outside the tent, and finally could not resist. “Your Highness, General Yan has not come yet, do you want to rest first?” 

After saying that, Helian Rongchuan was silent. 

Wei Jin: … 

Helian Rongchuan was naked with strong muscles and a beautifully-lined upper body exposed. There was a very conspicuous, long, not completely scabbed wound on his left abdominal muscle. The wound was very long and it looked like the flesh and blood were turned outwards, looking very terrible. However, Wei Jin knew that the wound did not hurt the internal organs. It was just a normal skin wound, which would heal within half a month. 

But Wei Jin didn’t expect that when he let out a long sigh of relief and told Helian Rongchuan of the injury, his Second Highness had a disappointed expression on his face. 

“It’ll be all right in half a month?” 

Wei Jin didn’t understand what Helian Rongchuan meant. “If you recover quickly, maybe ten days…?” 

Helian Rongchuan raised a finger and said firmly, “At least one month!” 

Wei Jin blinked, and finally understood what Helian Rongchuan meant. He was speechless. 

At this time, Helian Rongchuan numbly turned over and abruptly raised the curtain to look out. As expected, his heart-piercing screams had successfully attracted Yan Changqing’s attention. 

Helian Rongchuan returned to the couch in two steps and then suddenly shouted, “Ahhhhh…it hurts!!!”

Wei Jin:??? 

Helian Rongchuan smiled meaningfully at him, and whispered: “It’s up to you!” 

He turned his eyes and fainted.

Wei Jin: … 

Before Wei Jin had time to speak, the curtain was raised and Yan Changqing walked into the tent a little anxiously. Seeing Helian Rongchuan lying on the couch, unconscious, his handsome eyebrows suddenly frowned. 

“What’s wrong with him?” Yan Changqing said. 

Wei Jin knew that Yan Changqing was going to be fooled again, and couldn’t help but sympathize with him silently in his heart. However, the order of His Highness had to be followed. Wei Jin had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Helian Rongchuan ’s instructions, pretending to say in pain: 

“His Highness was so badly injured, he fainted.” 

Yan Changqing sat beside Helian Rongchuan. He looked closely at the wound in Helian Rongchuan’s abdomen, and dropped his eyes. 

“Give me the medicine.” Yan Changqing said to Wei Jin in a very soft voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing Helian Rongchuan. “You still need to prepare the medicine for the plague. Give me the medicine here.” 

Yan Changqing’s eyes were always cold, like a clear and waveless deep pool, but only because of this, the shimmering waves that occasionally appeared in these eyes made it particularly moving. Looking at these eyes, Wei Jin suddenly understood why Helian Rongchuan worked so hard and was not afraid of life and death to come to Qinchuan to support Yan Changqing from a thousand miles away. 

It must be the rarest and happiest thing in the world to make such a pair of eyes emotional. 

Wei Jin sighed in his heart, and hurriedly presented a small bottle of pain relief. 

With a glance from the corner of his eye, Wei Jin really saw that behind Yan Changqing, Helian Rongchuan, who was supposed to be unconscious, raised a smile that he was determined to win.
