Wang Xingming was stunned and understood what Tang Jinghong meant. He no longer had any doubts. “Benefactor, why am I here?”
Tang Jinghong said, “I went to the water prison with a few friends to save someone. When I saw you there, 1 saved you too.”
Wang Xingming’s eyes were red. He was extremely touched. “Benefactor, you’ve saved me twice.”
Tang Jinghong patted Wang Xingming’s shoulder. “It’s all fate. Rest for a while. I’ll go see another friend.”
Wang Xingming nodded and thought to himself that it was probably not convenient for them to talk now, so his benefactor let him rest.
Tong Yujie was about to look for Tang Jinghong when he turned around and saw Tang Jinghong. Since Tang Jinghong was hiding his identity now, he changed the way he addressed him. “Brother.”
Tang Jinghong moved aside and gave way to Cong Chusheng. He said, “Chusheng knows medicine. Let him take a look at your sister.”
Tong Yujie looked at Cong Chusheng and said gratefully, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Then, Cong Chusheng walked to the bed and took the pulse of the girl on the bed. “She’s very seriously injured. There’s also poison accumulated in her body. Let’s detoxify her first.”
After saying that, he took out a pill from the medicine box and fed it to the girl.
These pills were hard to come by. It was too painful for him to give away two pills today.
However, if he could help his master, these two pills would be worth it.
Not long after she ate, the girl woke up. She was relatively calm and swept her gaze across the room, her eyes filled with scrutiny.
Tong Yujie sat on the bed excitedly. “Sister, do you still remember me?”
The girl sized up Tong Yujie…
Brother?
She remembered that she had an elder brother, but she did not remember what he looked like. After all, she was too young at that time when they separated.
Tong Yujie saw that she was at a loss and quickly said, “My name is Tong Yujie. Your name is Tong Yaxin. Do you still remember?”
Yang Jingwen shook her head.
Instead of answering Tong Yujie’s question, she asked, “Were you the one who saved me from the water prison?”
Tang Jinghong said, “My two friends and I saved you.”
He had saved her life. No matter what, she should be grateful. Moreover, it was not bad to have a brother. Hence, Yang Jingwen said in an accepting manner, “Thank you. It’s just that 1 don’t remember you. I’m sorry, but I’m very happy to have a brother.”
It was a good start that his sister did not reject him. He would take his time to rebuild the relationship with his sister. “Can you tell me why they arrested you?”
Yang Jingwen’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they had deliberately found someone who looked like her to lower her guard in order to find out her secret?
With this thought, she became wary. “I don’t know. I was getting married when they caught me.”
Tong Yujie’s gaze landed on Yang Jingwen’s wedding dress. He asked nervously, “Who were you going to marry?”
Yang Jingwen glanced at Li Yuanshao and grabbed the blanket, looking troubled.
Tong Yujie was extremely anxious. “Sister, what happened?”
“Don’t ask. I don’t want to talk about it.” It was a secret. If she told him, she would cause a huge disaster.]
Seeing that Yang Jingwen was so against talking about this, Tong Yujie thought that it was because she didn’t like her husband and didn’t want to talk about him, so he did not ask further. “Rest well. We’ll talk about this in the future.” Yang Jingwen lowered her head and did not speak.
They left the room.
Tang Jinghong asked Cong Chusheng, “Is there a kitchen here?”
Cong Chusheng looked up in shock. “Hero, why are you asking this?”
Tang Jinghong said, “I’ll make something for Xiao Qing to eat.”
Cong Chusheng’s eyes widened. Could it be that the two of them really had that kind of relationship? How deep must their relationship be to do this for each other?
Tang Jinghong frowned slightly. Why was this gaze so strange?
Li Yuanshao smiled and walked over. He was a gentle and weak young master. His every move was very pleasing to the eye. “I know where the kitchen is. This way, please.”
Tang Jinghong said, “Thank you.”
Li Yuanshao brought Tang Jinghong into the kitchen. “There’s everything in the kitchen. Help yourself.”
Tang Jinghong thanked him politely, then rolled up his sleeves and began to make food for Qingzhi.
Soon, a fragrance wafted out of the kitchen.
Cong Chusheng stood beside Li Yuanshao and sighed. “Master, this Senior Brother dotes on his Junior Brother very much.”
Li Yuanshao spoke unhurriedly, his expression especially dignified. “There are all kinds of people in this world. The longer you live, the more you will find this true.”
Cong Chusheng nodded in agreement. “Master, you are right.”
At Wan Zhilin’s mansion.
When Wan Zhilin chased out of the water prison, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
“There are only a few of them, but there are hundreds or thousands of us. How could you let them escape? Good-for-nothing, trash!”
Everyone lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe loudly.
A person walked towards Wan Zhilin. “Lord Wan, one of them has a jade flute that glows. The tune that comes out of the flute can not only shatter arrows, but also hurt people. The people who were injured by the jade flute are still unconscious. The doctor said that their internal organs seem to be damaged.” Wan Zhilin’s heart skipped a beat. “Really? That magical?”
That person said firmly, “It’s absolutely true. More than one person saw it. Moreover, the arrows on the ground were shattered into pieces.”
Wan Zhilin looked down. Not only did the wood part of the arrow shatter into pieces, but even the iron part was crooked.
To possess a jade flute with such a magical effect, could it be someone from those hidden families?
The hidden families all had ultimate techniques that were only passed down in the family. Moreover, these ultimate techniques were powerful and strange. As long as they used such ultimate techniques, there would definitely be blood.
Thinking of this, he felt a chill run down his spine. If they provoked such a family, the northern border would probably be in endless trouble in the future.
“Clean up the mess. I’ll report it to His Highness immediately.”
“Yes, Lord Wan.”
Wan Zhilin rushed to the mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border..
