Chapter 1942 The First Priority is to Be a Confidant
Yan Ruyu thought Sun Qing was going to tell her something big.
I heard that this is what they were talking about.
She changed the subject directly: "This is not important."
"How is Liu Balang now?"
Sun Qing was astonished. Wasn't this important? What kind of thieves could have emptied such a large warehouse without leaving any trace?
Not to mention Liu Balang, he was completely stunned when he saw it.
He had been in the underworld for a while, but he had never heard of anyone having this ability.
If this person is an enemy...
However, he thought again, the prince and princess are knowledgeable and experienced, and they may know many talented people from other worlds.
Especially the princess, who often has some rare little gadgets.
Thinking so, he followed Yan Ruyu's thoughts and questions.
"He stood in the warehouse for a while, then vomited blood and passed out. He hasn't woken up yet."
Sun Qing sighed, "Your Highness, Princess, when I saw that warehouse, I was also shocked twice. First, it was how big it was, and second, it was so empty."
Yan Ruyu felt like laughing. She had never found Sun Qing's words so interesting before.
He took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Sun Qing.
"Don't just sit there waiting in the yard. Take this and give it to Liu Balang. Let him eat it, and it will count as a contribution to you."
Sun Qing took the medicine and asked, "Isn't this... a waste?"
The princess’ medicines are all good medicines, why give her something like this?
"Isn't this giving you credit?" Huo Changhe said, "You need to establish yourself here as quickly as possible and gain his trust. Then I'll arrange for other people to come in."
Sun Qing nodded: "I understand."
"Also, if you can ensure you don't become suspicious, you can ask around and find out what the courtyard called Jingsi Garden in the back is used for."
Huo Changhe said in a deep voice, "That courtyard is very strange. When the warehouse caught fire, everyone in the mansion went to put it out, but that courtyard had the most guards, and no one left."
Sun Qing was surprised: "Is that so? Then I will definitely investigate thoroughly."
"Sun Qing," Yan Ruyu warned, "Remember the prince's words. Protect yourself first. Exploration is not a one-time effort. Your mission is to be Liu Balang's confidant and strike at the critical moment."
Sun Qing nodded solemnly, "Yes, I will prioritize and live up to the trust of the prince and princess."
He turned to leave, but Huo Changhe stopped him again: "Are you okay with your injury?"
"It's okay," Sun Qing looked at his arm. "It's just a flesh wound. I could have avoided it."
It was just to make Liu Balang trust and respect him more.
"If anything unexpected happens," Huo Changhe warned again, "you can abandon this place and leave. There's no need to fight. Your own safety is the most important thing at that time."
Sun Qing was stunned, his throat choked, and his heart felt warm.
He bowed his head, clasped his hands and said, "Yes, I will remember this."
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe left quietly and went to Jingsi Garden.
Shrouded in darkness, Jingsi Garden seemed even quieter and more eerie.
The guards from the day were still there, like wooden carvings and clay sculptures.
Yan Ruyu took Xiaolan out of the space and let it out to take a look.
The starlings flew over the treetops and across the yard.
The courtyard was dimly lit and empty, with few decorations, which was out of tune with the other exquisite decorations of the Liu Mansion.
There are many side rooms on both sides, and there are several south rooms all the way to the south.
Lights were on in the north room and the wing rooms, and dim shadows were reflected on the windows, reflecting the shadow of a woman.
There were a lot of people, seemingly busy with something, but no one made a sound.
The starling landed on the treetop, observed for a while, and wanted to go to the window to look.
Just as it flew to the window and had not yet pecked through the window paper, a gust of wind suddenly blew towards it!
……
Liu Balang lay on the bed, his chest heaving. Even though he was not awake and furious, the people around him were still cautious and dared not make a sound.
There was a porcelain bowl on the stool beside the bed, with medicine residue settled at the bottom of the bowl.
Sun Qing stepped forward and handed the medicine bottle to the doctor.
The doctor took it and looked at it under the light, feeling surprised and puzzled.
"This is……"
The small medicine bottle is smooth and exquisite, in the shape of a gourd, with a line of words written on it: Quick-acting heart-saving pills.
Sun Qing nodded: "This is a good medicine for curing diseases. I got it from the Jianghu. Give it to Master Ba."
"But……"
After all, the doctor had never tried it before, so he was a little hesitant.
"It'll be fine. This medicine is worth a fortune."
Sun Qing thought to himself, I'm not bragging, the princess's medicine is worth this much money.
"If anything goes wrong, it's my fault," he added.
Having said that, many people also knew that Sun Qing risked his own life to save Liu Balang today, so the doctor didn't say anything more. He quickly took some warm water, dissolved the medicine, and fed it into Liu Balang's mouth bit by bit.
The warm water slid down his dry throat, and Liu Balang suddenly choked twice, his brows twisted into knots in pain.
"Water..." Liu Balang's voice was hoarse as if it had been sandpapered, and every word was trembling with pain.
"The Eighth Master is awake!" The doctor was surprised and happy, and hurried to help him.
Liu Balang took a while to relax, swallowed the remaining medicine, and felt much better.
He looked around and saw Sun Qing's forearm, which was wrapped in gauze and stained with blood.
"This injury..." Liu Balang's voice was still weak, but his eyes were much clearer.
Sun Qing pulled his sleeves down. "It's nothing serious. Just a minor injury."
Liu Balang stared at the wound, remembering the scene in front of the teahouse. He had been attacked, the sharp sound of a hidden weapon piercing the air still lingering in his ears, and Sun Qing flew over to block it.
He turned to look at the doctor again, and the doctor hurriedly said, "Master Ba, the medicine for your illness was also given by Hero Sun."
The doctor handed over the medicine bottle. Liu Balang took a look and found that he had never seen such a medicine bottle before. It was light yellow, gourd-shaped, smooth and delicate.
"Where did the medicine come from?"
Sun Qing said calmly and cheerfully: "I got it from a doctor before. I exchanged it for a jade pendant. It saved my life at a critical moment."
He didn't elaborate further, but Liu Balang understood.
Sun Qing was not a rich man. It was inevitable that he would get hurt while traveling in the martial arts world. He gave up his most precious thing in exchange for a bottle of medicine.
Now, this medicine is used on him.
Liu Balang's cold heart inexplicably felt an indescribable feeling.
This was something that had never happened between him and his brother Liu Jiulang.
It made him feel strange and indescribable.
"You should take care of your health first..." Sun Qing wanted to give some advice, but before he could finish his words, a shout broke the silence.
"There is an assassin! Catch the assassin!"
Sun Qing's face suddenly changed and he turned around abruptly.
He pulled out the knife with his backhand, and the scabbard made a dull sound when it collided with the knife.
"Eighth Master, lie down and don't move!" He said this, turned around and rushed out the door.
Liu Balang's dizzy mind suddenly became clear again because of the shouting.
He remembered why he felt dizzy before, the empty warehouse, and his lost property.
Thinking of this, Liu Balang could no longer lie down and got out of bed immediately.
Damn it, even with such a kind heart in the mansion, there are still assassins coming!
We must catch him and cut him into pieces!
