Chapter 469: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

  Chapter 469: Confession (1)


Although the arrow did not hit Xiao Ruiyuan's vital heart, being pierced through the left chest clearly caused serious injury. The ghost physician prepared many good medicines but dared not easily remove the arrow, fearing it might affect the heart. He could only temporarily seal his acupoints with silver needles to prevent excessive blood loss.


The arrow wound could be delayed for a while, rushing back to the capital with all speed for further treatment was still possible. However, the insidious Heart-Devouring Poison would not wait; at most, he could hold on until nightfall.


Xiao Ruiyuan knew his life was hanging by a thread, yet he was truly unwilling to give up. He opened his eyes to look at the ghost physician and Xiao Jiu, urgency tinting his clear voice: "Return... to the capital, immediately..."


Xiao Ruiyuan's awakening brought immense surprise to Xiao Jiu, who had been in despair. He squatted down, his voice trembling: "Master, how... how do you feel?"


Xiao Ruiyuan's face was pale as paper, even speaking had become extremely difficult: "Temp... temporarily fine, return... to the capital."


"Mas... master..."


Seeing their majestic leader, who was like a war god, reduced to this state, Xiao Jiu felt extreme sorrow. Although he didn't understand why the master was so eager to return to the capital, as a shadow guard, all he could do was obey orders. He tremblingly reached out to lift Xiao Ruiyuan, but was stopped by the ghost physician.


"He's too heavily injured, it's not advisable to move him. Let me examine him again."


The injury was severe, compounded by the potent poison. Xiao Ruiyuan waking up was already a miracle in the ghost physician's eyes, but the results of the pulse examination again dashed his hopes to the ground.


Seeing this, Xiao Jiu, who had held a glimmer of hope, felt despair overwhelm him once more. With his resolute character, even he couldn't suppress the moistness in his eyes. He touched the sword at his waist, his eyes showing determination.


The other shadow guards felt the same. For them, Xiao Ruiyuan was their faith, the god in their hearts. If a person lost their faith, lost their god, they were nothing more than walking dead. They might as well end it themselves, following their god in spirit!


Seeming to understand their thoughts, Xiao Ruiyuan's pale face showed a rare smile, his weak voice filled with reassurance: "Do not grieve. After I'm gone, you will be free men, able to marry and have children like ordinary people, living normal lives. This is my final order to you."


Xiao Jiu and the other five knelt down in silence, silently resisting this command.
