Chapter 339: Encountering Bai Zhi who was working hard
"Do you know where the lady went?"
Outside Cuizhi's room, Sijiu wrote something on a piece of paper with a sullen face, asking about Ping'an.
Ping An stood in front of Si Jiu nervously and replied, "During lunch, Cuizhi came to me and said that Madam needed a carriage and asked me to prepare it in the afternoon so that Madam could leave at any time. This happened before, so I agreed directly and prepared a carriage for Madam. Madam only took Cuizhi with her, and I don't know where they went after that."
Si Jiu felt a sharp pain in his stomach, but he endured it and didn't press it, but his face turned terribly pale.
"Are there any secret guards following them?" Si Jiu continued to write.
Si Jiu brought many secret guards from Kyoto. When he went to Chidu Kingdom, he also transferred some of Chidu’s forces into Yunzhou’s team.
After all, he had been keeping an eye on Chidu for Dacheng before, but now he doesn't need to do anything for Dacheng anymore.
All he needed to keep an eye on was Wen Baizhi.
That's why he transferred all the people here when they came to Yunzhou, and most of the elite troops were arranged to protect Wen Baizhi.
Ping An was now much more relaxed: "Reporting to the Governor, the secret guards who have been protecting the Madam have all gone with her. I will send a message to them right away to ask them about the Madam's condition."
But what Ping'an didn't expect was that Si Jiu actually stopped him. His writing movements were not as fast as at the beginning, but rather slowed down.
"No, since someone is following them, it's fine. I just need to know that they are safe at all times. There is no need to report anything else to me."
What he meant was that there was no need to find out where Wen Baizhi and the others were, he just needed to know that they were safe.
Ping An was confused, but he still respected Si Jiu's idea.
At this moment, the sky is already full of red clouds and the sun is about to set.
Si Jiu was in pain for the entire afternoon.
His hands were scratched until they bled, and Ping An saw the wounds when he was writing.
But Si Jiu had always been a stubborn person. Before Wen Baizhi came, whenever he encountered injuries, whether big or small, he rarely took the initiative to seek help from Rong Heng or Ping An.
So over time, Ping An got used to not taking the initiative to ask about Si Jiu's physical condition, and would only help him when he clearly expressed that he needed help.
But this time, Si Jiu's eyes and state gave Ping An the feeling of returning to the time before he met Wen Baizhi.
After all, they all witnessed the changes in Si Jiu after Wen Baizhi came.
Especially at this moment, Si Jiu turned around, his steps were unsteady and staggering, making Ping An feel that he would fall to the ground in the next second.
But Si Jiu still insisted on walking back to the room by himself.
It's another night.
Unlike last night, Si Jiu lit a lamp for himself tonight.
He no longer sat by the bed, but chose to lie down on it.
In fact, the pain was so severe that I didn't have the strength to sit up. I could only lie on my side, pressing my abdomen with my knees and hands at the same time, which provided a slight relief.
The place where vomit was originally found on the ground has been wiped clean by Si Jiu.
He did a lot of dirty and tiring work like this when he was in the Marquis' Mansion.
Even now, it still feels familiar.
But his back couldn't be bent for long. Just touching the ground caused him so much pain that he couldn't straighten his back.
He felt as if he was becoming increasingly useless.
The body is like an old, dilapidated building, broken everywhere, and in need of repair.
He continued to trouble Wen Baizhi and make her angry. He felt like he was not a human being.
Si Jiu was in pain for so long that his whole body became numb and he began to feel drowsy.
He thought that he just needed to wait for Wen Baizhi to come back. At least it would be dark now and she would definitely be back.
As soon as she comes back, he will go to find her first.
Tell her everything you didn't say to her today.
What he didn't expect was that he had to wait for a whole night.
Wen Baizhi didn't come back the whole night.
Wen Baizhi herself did not expect that she had only come to the escort agency with her maid, and her original intention was just to reminisce with Qi He and look for clues to the past.
However, she happened to encounter a conflict between two escort agencies. Qi He hurriedly hid her in the backyard. Then she heard the sound of swords clashing outside.
Although Qi He's side won in the end, they also suffered heavy losses and many people were injured.
Among them, Qi He was the most seriously injured.
His right arm was cut open from the shoulder to the wrist by a sword. The whole scar was hanging on his arm and blood was dripping. It looked very scary.
But Wen Baizhi is not afraid of these.
She had led troops and fought in wars before, and even the people in the escort agency now were once soldiers under the Wen family.
It's just that her father and brother are dead, and there is no one to protect them, so they have to hide their identities everywhere and are provoked from time to time.
Wen Baizhi volunteered to stay and help the brothers in the escort agency treat their wounds.
One reason was that she really couldn't bear to see the wounds of these soldiers who had once served under the Wen family left unattended.
The second is a more important reason.
She needed to find an opportunity to make Qi He trust her more, slowly accept her, start to accept her from the bottom of his heart, and help her without hesitation when she needed his help in the future.
The most basic exploitation between people is very common.
Wen Baizhi is also taking advantage of this human nature.
Qi He originally didn't want Wen Baizhi to see all this blood, but she stopped him with one sentence.
"I have seen more wounded people on the battlefield before. I have seen and treated all kinds of wounds. I am not bragging, but your wound treatment and bandaging skills may not be as good as mine."
Then Wen Baizhi used the wound on Qi He's arm to show him her abilities perfectly and confidently.
When the familiar knotting method of bandaging wounds in the deepest part of Qi He's memory was easily tied by Wen Baizhi again in her hands and appeared on his arm.
Qi He's breathing stopped subconsciously.
It's Wen Bai.
This is Wen Bai's unique way of tying knots.
It looks simple but it is very solid and won't be torn off easily.
But the fingering is complicated, and many people cannot understand it after one or two times, but Wen Bai has tied all the knots.
But Qi He knew how to tie the knot.
He had been silently paying attention to Wen Bai for a long time.
If Wen Baizhi had been able to tell him what Wen Bai knew before and prove to him that she was Wen Bai, Qi He would still have had a last bit of doubt in his heart.
But at this moment, this last bit of doubt disappeared.
When all coincidences point to the most unlikely thing, then this thing is very likely not a coincidence.
She really is Wen Bai.
Qi He was happier than anyone else.
