Chapter 500: Chapter 467, Jinling Guard_2
Yan Wentao looked at Daohua, seeing her disheveled hair and wounded arm, his heart immediately filled with ache, “Yes, third brother has come, and the fourth is outside too—you don’t need to be afraid anymore.”
Daohua smiled and nodded, bracing herself to sit up, but she tugged at her wound and instantly sucked in a breath of cold air.
Xiao Yeyang hurriedly helped her up, “Don’t move around recklessly, don’t you know you’re injured? Apart from the wound on your arm, do you have injuries anywhere else?”
Daohua shook her head, “No more.”
Xiao Yeyang breathed a sigh of relief, “I’ve had someone heat water; I’ll dress your wound shortly.”
At this moment, a Hidden Guard came to report that they had discovered assassins in disguise among the villagers.
...
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang looked at Yan Wentao, “Although we arrived unexpectedly, the assassins here are well-trained. It’s possible some have infiltrated among the villagers. Take some men and question everyone in the village to prevent any accidents. Before we report this to the Emperor, not a word about this village’s affair should leak out.”
It turned out there was a large iron mine in this village, and Prince Duan’s men were secretly smelting iron and casting weapons here—a matter of utmost consequence.
Yan Wentao realized the seriousness of the situation and nodded; however, he was somewhat reluctant to leave.
Seeing Yan Wentao looking at Daohua, Xiao Yeyang said with a smile, “Rest assured, I’ll be here to watch over Daohua.”
Yan Wentao’s cheeks tensed slightly, thinking to himself that it was precisely because of Xiao Yeyang that he was worried, “How about I go to the village and find a woman to come and take care of Daohua?”
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Yan Wentao. The little rascal didn’t trust him, yet he didn’t refuse, “Sure, go find someone.” There were indeed things that he, as a man, found inconvenient to handle for Daohua.
However, Daohua refused, “Third brother, there’s no need to find someone. I can take care of myself. You better hurry up with the important matters.”
Yan Wentao was choked up and, without heeding Daohua’s words, turned and left the room. Regardless, he had to find a woman to come over.
Once he left, Dexi came in carrying hot water.
Xiao Yeyang helped Daohua over to the table, took out the medicine, and began to dress her wound.
Rolling up the sleeve, a ghastly knife wound surfaced in Xiao Yeyang’s view, and he instantly felt as if his heart had been twisted, looking at Daohua with pity, “Does it hurt a lot?”
Daohua turned her head away from the wound, “I didn’t feel the pain earlier while focusing on the attackers, but now it’s very painful.”
Xiao Yeyang took a cloth and gently wiped the wound, “You’ll have to endure it.”
Daohua bit her lip and nodded. The wound was deep, and when Xiao Yeyang applied the golden sore medicine, the pain made her forehead break out in a fine sweat.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang’s heart ached as well, and to distract her, he willingly started another topic, “Miss Dong and others are now at an inn near Fenxi Port. Tomorrow I’ll take you there to meet them.”
Her prolonged absence could potentially harm her reputation if word got out. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
