Chapter 128 I'm the only one who can save her
"girl."
The white-haired old man stepped forward, tremblingly holding onto the bars of the iron cage.
"I am a doctor from Yuxi County near Kyoto. My family has been practicing medicine for generations, and I am especially good at acupuncture. A while ago, a wealthy businessman came to town and said that someone in his family suffers from epilepsy and needs long-term acupuncture. So he was looking for a doctor here and offered a high reward to the chosen one. But when he came, he found out that all this was a conspiracy by the big yin man!"
The old man's voice was filled with grief and anger, and the others around him all lowered their heads and said nothing.
"So what is the purpose of the big Yin people capturing you?"
The old man sighed deeply, despair in his eyes.
"The big yin people imprisoned us here and forced us to teach acupuncture. Not only that, they also practiced on living people. Doctor Xu's left leg and Doctor Liu's hands were paralyzed because the big yin people pierced the wrong acupuncture points."
Jiang Tunan's heart was already in turmoil. Although she had never studied Chinese medicine, she knew that apprentices must not practice on living people before they become masters. Each acupuncture point on the human body is extremely important. Once you find the wrong acupuncture point, you may be injured at the least or even die at the worst.
“Girl, I don’t know how you found this place, but if you can get out alive, you must report everything here to the officials in Kyoto.
The purpose of the big Yin people is not only to steal knowledge, they are also secretly developing new poisons. If they are not stopped, the war on the border decades ago may happen again! "
Jiang Tunan was speechless for a moment. There were about a dozen people in the cage, and all of them looked ashen, as if they already knew they were doomed.
Jiang Tunan really wanted to persuade everyone to cheer up, but how could she have the confidence to do so? She herself had to rely on others to escape from here.
"My cousin has already gone to find someone. The court will not let this go."
The old man shook his head lightly and smiled with relief.
"It's useless. We can't get out of here. Girl, look around this iron cage."
Jiang Tunan followed the old man's instructions and looked around. He saw many cloth bags piled up around him.
"What's this?"
"gunpowder."
The old man's voice was calm, without a trace of emotion, and the others kept their heads down as before, without any shock on their faces.
"gunpowder!"
Jiang Tunan couldn't help but shout out, what does this big guy want to do by putting so much gunpowder here!
"Girl, if the matter here fails, the Big Yin will definitely destroy the evidence, so they put a lot of gunpowder here. As long as there is a danger of being exposed, they will immediately detonate this place, and all the evidence will be reduced to ashes, including... us."
A middle-aged man next to the old man continued,
"I heard from the royal doctors of Dayin that the Dayin people have found one of the descendants of the Nine Needles of Restoring Yang, and they will probably evacuate soon. Girl, you'd better leave here quickly and find a safe place to hide first."
Jiang Tunan felt sorry and looked at everyone hesitantly.
"Go!"
"Let's go, girl. You must get out alive."
"move."
Everyone who had been silent before now spoke up, all hoping that Jiang Tunan would leave as soon as possible.
Jiang Tunan's nose was sore and tears welled up in his eyes. He bowed deeply to everyone and immediately turned around and left along the same path. They would not die. Jiang Tunan prayed in his heart that there must be a way to save everyone.
In Kyoto, after Wen Yinzhi returned to the Imperial Medical Bureau from the post house, he waited for Jiang Tunan's carriage at the door, because he still had some questions he wanted to discuss with Jiang Tunan.
However, he waited for a long time and did not see Jiang Tunan's carriage return to the Imperial Medical Bureau. At first, Wen Yinzhi thought that Jiang Tunan had gone somewhere else on the way. It was not until the sun was about to set that he realized something was wrong. After sending people to look for him in vain, he had to report the matter to the Imperial Physician, Lord Li.
After all, Jiang Tunan is the cousin of the Minister of Rites, and she came to the Imperial Medical Bureau on the order of the Emperor. Lord Li did not dare to suppress the matter and could only report it truthfully.
Xiao Huaimin of the Xiao family was extremely anxious. He quickly received the news of Jiang Tunan's disappearance, but he was extremely puzzled. How could a healthy person staying in the Imperial Medical Bureau suddenly disappear?
Xiao Mingli and Xiao Mingyue rushed back home after learning about this. Xiao Mingli looked worried.
"I asked around, and my cousin's maid Chunhua is also missing. I guess they were kidnapped together."
Xiao Huaimin nodded, Jiang Tunan's brilliant smile appearing in his mind. If anything happened to Jiang Tunan, how would he explain to Brother Jiang a hundred years later!
"Mingli and Mingyue, you two continue to pay attention to the news from the Imperial Medical Bureau. I will go to the palace now to ask for permission and ask the emperor to send someone to look for Nannan."
"and many more!"
Madam Xiao hurried over with Haitang's support.
"My husband, if you ask the emperor for permission for this trivial matter, I'm afraid it will give people a reason to criticize you, which will be disadvantageous to you in the future."
"It's a small matter? How can Nan Nan's disappearance be a small matter? Not to mention that it will give people a reason to criticize me, I don't care even if I am punished by the emperor for it!"
Madam Xiao knew she had said the wrong thing, so she spoke carefully.
"My dear husband, that's not what I meant. It's just that the situation is unclear right now. We can send the servants out to look for it first. If we can't find it, it won't be too late to go back to the palace."
Xiao Huaimin's face was filled with anxiety, so his voice was raised.
"By then it will be too late! The people of the Dark World are watching closely. Today the Emperor has just issued an order to send the Imperial Guards to wipe out the forces of the Dark World. The area around Kyoto is not safe now. What if Nan Nan is accidentally involved? Who can save her? Who will save her? I am the only one who can save her!"
Mrs. Xiao was so frightened by Xiao Huaimin's voice that her legs went weak. Fortunately, Haitang supported her and prevented her from falling.
"Besides, with the strength of our Xiao Mansion's servants, they can't even find the third child who sneaked out to play. How can we expect them to find others?"
Xiao Mingxu who arrived just in time:?
Otherwise, he should come back later.
Mrs. Xiao had nothing to say and could only stare blankly at Xiao Huaimin.
Xiao Huaimin and Madam Xiao looked at each other for a moment, then turned around and resolutely prepared to enter the palace. Just as everyone was leaving, Shu Yan quietly followed Xiao Mingyue.
"Master, please stay."
Xiao Mingyue turned around and found that it was the servant next to Lao Si, so he asked,
"What's the matter?"
Shu Yan took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Mingyue respectfully.
"Master, the fourth master asked me to tell you that he got the news that my cousin is being held at the address written on the letter. Please bring people to rescue her."
Xiao Mingyue took the letter from Shu Yan hesitantly.
"Fourth brother, do you want me to lead the troops? But... I can't mobilize them without permission..."
Shu Yan smiled slightly, as if he had expected Xiao Mingyue to ask this question.
"Master, you haven't even seen the address on the letter yet."
After hearing this, Xiao Mingyue opened the letter and was shocked when he saw the place name on the paper.
"This is...?"
"This place is near your military camp, young master. You just happened to find the thief while you were training, and then you rescued your cousin by chance."
Shu Yan moved his upper body closer to Xiao Mingyue.
"The fourth young master said that it would be a pity if the eldest young master, with his military talent, could just be a coach. If he can make a contribution in eliminating the great thief this time and be appreciated by the emperor, he might be able to join the imperial guards."
Xiao Mingyue's pupils trembled slightly. It turned out that the fourth brother had already seen through his thoughts.
Although he entered the military camp as a martial arts champion and was said to be a cavalry general personally appointed by the emperor, he has been working as a coach in this military camp. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it, because the Xiao family was really being watched by too many people.
But he didn't expect that the fourth brother had been planning for him. Although his fourth brother seemed the most indifferent in the family, he knew everyone in the Xiao family the best and cared about everyone silently.
Xiao Mingyue folded the letter and put it into his sleeve, then said to Shu Yan,
"I see."
