Chapter 347: Husband and wife are united, their strength is invincible
Lu Jiangnian has indeed started to take action.
He sprinkled the medicine in the bottle along the battle circle. Soon, a faint smell floated in the air, mixed with the lotus fragrance, and was not so obvious.
However, the leader soon realized that something was wrong.
Then, his eyes were as fast as lightning, accurately capturing Lu Jiangnian who appeared in the corner like a ghost.
Lu Jiangnian had already done what he wanted to do, so he appeared before everyone with confidence: "You came to my place so late at night and disturbed my sleep. How come the Second Prince doesn't know any etiquette?"
"Could it be that the aphrodisiac I gave you last time was so effective that he sent you here to ask me for it?"
All six assassins were frozen.
Before coming, the second prince had warned them not to reveal their identities, but Lu Jiangnian immediately revealed their identities.
However, regardless of whether Lu Jiangnian knew the inside story or not, their purpose remained unchanged.
The leader's sword suddenly burst into sword flowers and attacked Lu Jiangnian with fierce momentum.
Lu Jiangnian calmly drew out his soft sword and responded calmly. It must be said that this person can be called his opponent.
It seems that the second prince has thrown out all his savings just to take his life.
The humiliation that day in the Third Prince's Mansion was indeed effective.
Lu Jiangnian's soft sword was unsheathed with a clang, and the sword tip drew a sharp arc. The masters fought against each other, and sparks flew everywhere.
However, he soon felt dizzy, and in a flash, he realized that they had been tricked.
“Hold your breath!”
Before the warning was uttered, someone had already fallen to the ground. "Despicable!"
The leading man in black bit his tongue to stay awake and roared at Lu Jiangnian.
Lu Jiangnian nonchalantly stabbed him with his sword: "Thieves who break into other people's homes late at night, you are so open and honest."
Seeing another of his men fall, the leader did not dare to fight any longer. He could not kill Lu Jiangnian, but he wanted to go back alive and tell the second prince the news.
However, now that things have come to this, how could Lu Jiangnian let him go?
The man in black who was drugged was obviously no match for his opponent. Finally, he bit the poison hidden between his teeth and before he died, he threw flying knives at the others, trying to kill the unconscious soldiers.
No one expected that he was so loyal and he actually succeeded.
Unfortunately, his ability was limited and he only killed two of them. He was powerless to do anything about the other three.
The sudden night wind blew away the stuffiness in the air and also picked up the bloody smell on the ground, swirling over the courtyard.
The lanterns in the corridor flickered in the wind. Lu Jiangnian's eyes fell on the men in black. He said in a deep voice, "Xuanqing, bury them properly."
Xuan Qing bowed and said, "I obey your command."
He paused, his voice lowered a bit, "During the fight just now, all of our brothers were injured. The swords of those thieves were poisoned."
Lu Jiangnian frowned, the moonlight casting a sharp shadow on his brow. "Place everyone in the east wing."
As he spoke, he turned and strode towards the inner courtyard, "I'll go ask my wife to come over."
When Yuan Wanru heard this, she came over without saying a word, carrying the medicine box.
Even though there were only six of them, their lethality was quite strong. Except for Xuanying and Xuanqing, everyone else had some injuries on their bodies.
Fortunately, they are also experienced and brave generals. They have a tacit understanding and cooperate perfectly. Those assassins were unable to cause fatal harm to them.
When Yuan Wanru came in, they had already started bandaging the wound. When everyone saw Yuan Wanru, they wanted to stand up and salute her, but she stopped them with a gesture.
“Don’t move.”
She walked up to a wounded man, squatted down and placed three fingers on his pulse. The man was so frightened by the Prince's wife's quick movements that he dared not move at all. His body was stiff, like a puppet.
Yuan Wanru glanced at him and said, "Relax, or I won't be able to diagnose your pulse correctly."
Lu Jiangnian leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, a smile on his face: "If you don't cooperate and delay my wife's rest, then..."
Before he could finish his words, the injured man immediately adjusted his breathing and relaxed his body.
Yuan Wanru turned around and glared at Lu Jiangnian, then concentrated on taking his pulse.
I saw her frown slowly relax: "Fortunately, everyone has taken the detoxification pills I gave them before, so the poison hasn't taken over their hearts for the time being."
"You should let out the black blood, then take Yulu ointment externally and decoction internally, and you will be fine in two days."
Xuan Qing touched the back of his head and smiled: "Thank you, Madam, it's mainly because Xuan Huang didn't come with us this time, so I have to trouble you."
Yuan Wanru said calmly, "It's nothing. This is the duty of a doctor."
-
Lu Jiangnian stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sweeping over the three unconscious men on the ground.
The moonlight outlined his angular profile, and a hint of coldness was between his brows. "Madam, do you have any way to make them tell the truth in front of the emperor?"
Yuan Wanru frowned slightly, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the embroidery on the purse around her waist.
She pondered for a moment before softly saying, "You've seen me use hallucinogens before."
"That medicine might work for ordinary people, but these warriors," she shook her head, "are mentally tough and will probably be difficult to shake."
Lu Jiangnian was not disappointed. "If that's the case, forget it. If I can't get any answers, it's useless."
Suddenly, Yuan Wanru's eyes lit up: "However, there is another way."
Lu Jiangnian raised his eyebrows and looked at her, his eyes reflecting the flickering flames of the lights.
Yuan Wanru turned around and told Shi Ying, "Go and get the red sandalwood box at the bottom of my dressing table."
After Shi Quartz left, Yuan Wanru looked at Lu Jiangnian carefully. After confirming that his brocade robe was intact, she breathed a sigh of relief with a barely perceptible degree of relief.
“Worried about me?”
Lu Jiangnian chuckled and grabbed her hand that was hanging by her side.
The night dew wet her cuffs, but his palms were warm and dry.
Yuan Wanru lowered her eyes and saw the two people's clasped hands casting lingering shadows on the bluestone ground.
"If it weren't for the drug my wife developed,"
He gently stroked the pulse on her wrist with his thumb, "Tonight I'm afraid..."
Before he could finish his words, Yuan Wanru suddenly tiptoed closer, and the faint fragrance from her hair lingered around Lu Jiangnian's nose, diluting the bloody smell that filled the courtyard.
She touched his lips with her fingertips and said, "If we say 'thank you' to each other, wouldn't it be alienating?"
Lu Jiangnian took her hand and kissed her: "I made a slip of the tongue."
The brisk footsteps were particularly clear in the quiet night.
Quartz returned hurriedly with the wooden box in his hand. When the lid was opened, twelve neatly arranged porcelain bottles were revealed.
Lu Jiangnian looked over and realized that these were the gifts Hua Lingxiao gave to Yuan Wanru when they left Southern Xinjiang.
"Is there anything you can use among the things your mother-in-law gave you?"
She nodded, "My mother gave me some Gu, which also has hallucinogenic effects. The combination of these two drugs may be able to completely disrupt their minds without making them look dull."
"However, I can't guarantee the effect."
Lu Jiangnian suddenly chuckled: "It doesn't matter, it's better than nothing."
"My wife's methods are becoming more and more sophisticated. I am really worried that I can't handle it."
Yuan Wanru deliberately frowned: "Why, are you scared?"
"I wish you would use all your methods on me."
Quartz, who was standing by, rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Prince, my hearing is not that bad."
