things to come.

Dongfangtang chuckled lightly, caressed her delicate cheek with a big palm lovingly, and said softly:

"But we've already been married, have you forgotten? We can get married whenever you want."

His gentle words and pitying eyes made her chest tremble, and her watery eyes stared at him complicatedly.

"Dongfangtang, you are so nasty!"

He complained that he could easily arouse her emotions. He threw those words angrily, turned around, and stepped into the inn faster.

Looking at her back, Dongfangtang raised a bitter smile and followed her into the inn.

Ugh! It seemed that he didn't want to sleep tonight.

Third watch, the night is deep.

A slender figure walked out of the inn quietly and silently carrying a burden. It was not until after a certain distance from the inn that the oil lamp that had been prepared was lit, and the light of the oil lamp led to the road in the dark.

In order to successfully get rid of Dongfangtang, she did not hesitate to travel all night. That gentle and elegant man is too hateful. If he is allowed to follow her back to Leshan again, there is no guarantee that he will not change his mind.

Unexpectedly, a year later, his influence on her would still be so profound, and a few words could provoke her deeply suppressed feelings; facing him again, her cold disguise would be easily pierced by him, so she decided to escaped.

Walk quickly through the town, to the suburbs. According to her estimation, when the workers are bright, she can go to the next town, and then take a good rest.

Suddenly, there was an abnormal sound flying past her ears, she stopped alertly, and shouted into the empty night:

"who is it?"

What responded to her was the rustling of the wind blowing through the treetops, nothing unusual; but she was still sensitive to the fact that someone was hiding in the dark. Holding the jasper flute in his hand tightly, he said coldly to the night sky:

"If you don't come out again, don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was still no one in sight, so she put the oil lamp at her feet, picked up the jasper flute, and played the "Broken Soul".

The sound of the flute was piercing, and soon after Fang played it, a shadow melted into the night and shot out from the shadows of the trees.

Ruan Xiangyin's figure flashed, Diyin's eyes stopped for a moment, the masked man in black was sweating coldly, with a long sword in his hand.

Dancing more dramatic, stabbed her all over. Ruan Xiangyin’s footsteps moved easily, and the flute sound changed from passionate to low-pitched sound, and the change was fast. The man in black was finally helpless. He supported his body with his long sword and was unable to attack again. Then Ruan Xiangyin stopped the flute sound and drank coldly:

"Who are you? Why did you kill me?"

The masked black-clothed man could not bear the sound of the flute and his blood vessels trembled. At the same time he was shocked, he realized that he had underestimated her too much. Although he supported his body with a long sword, his body was still shaking, and cold sweat was oozing from his forehead.

Hearing her question, the masked man just glanced at her, his body softened, his sword fell to the ground, and he fainted.

Ruan Xiangyin frowned slightly and approached him cautiously, trying to see his true face.

Suddenly, there was a bright light out of the corner of her eyes. At the same time as her heart was startled, she quickly avoided it, but it was still not fast enough. A hidden weapon shot into her right chest, causing her to scream in pain. At this time, the man also stood up suddenly, picked up the long sword again, his eyes showed murderous intent, and approached her step by step.

"Who are you? Why did you kill me?"

Oops! This hidden weapon is poisonous. Ruan Xiangyin held back her dizziness, and while stepping back, she hurriedly took out a detox pill from her arms and swallowed it, insisting on asking who this person was and why she wanted to teach her. Caused a murder

"Nosy people usually die early."

The man in black spit out these words coldly, the long sword trembled in the air, and wanted to stab her again; suddenly, there was a small sound in the silent night sky, and the next moment, the right arm of the masked man raised the sword numb, panicking. Looking down, I found that I didn't know when I had three silver needles inserted into my right arm.

At the same time, a slender figure swept past him, came to Ruan Xiangyin, and said anxiously, "Xiangyin, how are you?!"

Dongfangtang looked worriedly at the hidden weapon on her right chest, his big palm quickly reached inside her wrist, and his face froze at this pulse.

"Dongfangtang, why are you following?"

Although Ruan Xiangyin was surprised by his appearance, he did not want to admit that he felt at ease because of his appearance at this time.

"Hand over the antidote!"

Dongfangtang supported her unstable body, his always gentle face changed, his black eyes stared at the man in black and shouted loudly.

"Are you... the genius doctor Dongfangtang?"

The eyes of the man in black changed, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes; under his gaze, his footsteps could not help staggering.

"That's right. Hand over the antidote soon."

At this moment, Dongfangtang swept away Wen Wen's face, as if he had changed his personality, the horror in his eyes made people shudder.

The man in black was so terrified that he stepped back again, jumped sharply into the sky, and disappeared into the night sky.

"Damn it!"

Looking at the figure that disappeared in the dark night, and the person who fainted in his arms, he quickly picked her up and hurried back to the inn.

Before dawn, the dark night was thick, and a low-pitched flute cut through the silence of the night, reaching thousands of miles. After playing for about a moment, the flute stopped.

Dongfangtang put away the piccolo and looked at the palm-sized piccolo. This piccolo is specially made, the tone is very special, and the sound of the flute can convey thousands of miles; if Xiangyin was not in a critical situation at this moment, he would never want to trouble the owner of this piccolo to send him.

Looking at the tree trunk on which Xiangyin once sat playing the flute two hours ago, now he is lying on the bed with his life in danger. He had known that she would leave overnight, so he should not be afraid of her finding out and keep a distance from her, otherwise she would not be injured and poisoned. Just when he regretted and blamed himself, a figure silently came to him and bowed his head respectfully:

"Meet Doctor Dongfang."

Dongfangtang looked up at the dawn, where the dawn was still in the east, secretly paying that the night was really long, and sighed with his hands behind his back, "Please tell your sect master, Dongfangtang has something to ask for."

"Doctor Dongfang, please speak."

"My wife is suffering from cold poison. Before tomorrow night, I must get the antidote and ask your sect master for help."

This cold poison is an unusual poison, not that he can't solve it, but it takes a long time, and the medicinal materials needed are only available in the palace, and it takes time to travel.

Those suffering from this cold poison must be detoxified within seven days, otherwise the whole body will be cold and die; however, if the cold poison is removed within seven days, the cold energy has already penetrated into the bones, even if a life is saved, it will end. Throughout his life, his body temperature will be cold and different from ordinary people. Unless it can be relieved within two days, the cold poison can be prevented from hurting the bones of the body.

He couldn't let Xiangyin endure this kind of suffering, so he had no choice but to ask.

"Don't worry, Doctor Dongfang, the antidote will be delivered before sunset tomorrow."

As soon as the words were finished, the person who came came quietly and silently left.

As soon as this person left, Dongfangtang immediately turned around and walked back to the inn, thinking about the person who fell into a coma and gradually became cold.

As soon as he returned to the guest room, as he expected, Ruan Xiangyin had woken up, her face was pale, her body was trembling and hugging the quilt tightly, her teeth were trembling.

"Scent."

Dongfangtang took three steps into two, hurriedly came to the bed fan, lifted the quilt she was holding tightly, and quickly lay down between the quilts with her slender body. Wrap up.

"Dongfangtang, I am cold poison."

Ruan Xiangyin said it with absolute certainty, and knew that this cold poison was extremely difficult.

"Don't worry. I'll get the antidote before sunset tomorrow. Until then, you have to hold back."

Dongfangtang caressed her cold cheeks with his big palms, and covered her back with the palms of his inner strength.

The coldness inside her.

"Don't do that." She took his arm and shook her head at him. "It won't help you to deplete your inner strength like this, but it will tire you out."

The icy qi that he used to evacuate her physical strength could only be relieved for a while, and soon, the icy qi would surround her again. That being the case, she didn't want him to waste his inner strength.

"It can relieve your pain for a while, and it's worth it for me to consume some internal strength."

Dongfangtang didn't listen to her advice, and insisted that his internal force penetrate into her body. Even if he could only let her reduce the coldness in her body a little, he would be willing to consume more internal energy.

"Dongfangtang, just use that method and help me survive these two days."

"But you have a wound on your right chest, not to mention are you really willing?"

He hesitated. If he hadn't taken into account her wounds and wondered if he would have made her more unhappy with this method, he would have done so long ago.

"You wouldn't let my wounds get water, would you?"

Ruan Xiangyin raised her head in his arms, her eyes were full of certainty, knowing that he would definitely take care of her.

"Yes, if you want."

Black eyes stared at her deeply, and lightly kissed her on the forehead, then got up, wrapped her with the quilt first, and then left the room to prepare the necessary things.

When he came back, he had ordered someone to bring a large wooden barrel half a person high. The second brother went back and forth several times, and finally filled the water in the barrel to five points full. Dongfangtang added some energizing herbs to the hot water, and then came to the bedside, picked her up, walked to the bathroom separated by a screen, took off their clothes, and carried her into the wooden bucket, Let her sit on his crossed legs, the water level is really lower than the wound on her right chest.

The two used each other's palms for luck. Although this method could ease the cold in her body, it could only suppress it for two hours at most, and the cold poison would strike again.

"Why is the man in black so afraid of you? Also, why will there be an antidote tomorrow?"

Ruan Xiangyin waited until her body gradually warmed and was no longer cold before asking her question.

She still remembered the horror in his eyes when he appeared and the man in black knew that he was Dongfangtang, but she could see it clearly. She saw too much respect for him by everyone, but it was the first time
