Chapter 68 Bloodletting Therapy? (1/2)

Dark clouds surged like ink, dyeing the sky a gloomy black.

The air became dull and oppressive.

The rain is getting heavier.

It was raining heavily, as if there was a big hole in the sky.

Raindrops hit the ground, splattering large amounts of dust.

Tap tap tap.

The horses' hooves galloped through the muddy water, creating ripples in circles.

Cheng Liunian's hair had been soaked by the rain and clung to his forehead. His already dirty robes now looked even more messy.

In the pouring rain, Cheng Liunian felt that he could hardly breathe.

The cold rain slapped on his face mercilessly, and the cold air eroded his body like bone infection, making his body tremble uncontrollably.

Pale complexion, chapped lips.

Cheng Liunian felt that if he was exposed to the rain like this again, even if he was not beaten to death by Lin Cheng, he would be frozen to death.

He didn't have any cultivation, and he couldn't protect his body with vitality like Lin Cheng and others. As long as they were willing, the rain couldn't stain their clothes.

Even under such heavy rain, Lin Cheng's clothes were still dry.

Cheng Liunian realized that Lin Cheng behind him was like a huge furnace, and he could feel a trace of warmth from Lin Cheng's body.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Cheng Liunian couldn't help but get closer to Lin Cheng.

He hid in Lin Cheng's arms.

He has not practiced yet, and his body is not as strong and tough as Lin Cheng's. He really doubts that if he continues to freeze like this, he will really freeze to death.

If he froze to death, he would definitely become a big joke in the history of the entire Zhou Dynasty.

In order to save his life, Cheng Liunian moved his body back, trying to get closer to Lin Cheng's body.

Cheng Liunian's every move at this time was watched by everyone accompanying him.

Qingluan and Bai Shuxuan were okay, they just glanced at them from the corner of their eyes and didn't look at them more.

Hongzhu, who came with him, seemed to have discovered some new continent, staring at Cheng Liunian non-stop.

Why does this man who looks exactly like the prince look like this...

Weird...

He actually shrank into Lin Cheng's arms...

This scene really opened Hongzhu's eyes.

I didn't expect that humans could have such fun.

Hongzhu glanced at Cheng Liunian's face, which was similar to the prince's, and then looked at Lin Cheng, as if something was wrong in her mind, her face instantly turned red.

Hehehe laughed.

Inexplicably, he looks like a tram addict.

Lin Cheng, however, felt a little uncomfortable and felt uncomfortable all over. He looked down and saw that Cheng Liunian, who was slightly thin compared to him, kept digging into his arms and squirming from time to time.

This made the corners of his mouth twitch slightly.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Cheng reached out and pushed Cheng Liunian outward.

Cheng Liunian seemed not to hear, ignored Lin Cheng, and still crawled into his arms.

For Cheng Liunian right now, he pays more attention to appearance than face.

It's important to save your life first.

Lin Cheng: "..."

If it hadn't been for the prince's orders, Lin Cheng would have really wanted to throw this beggar away.

It's already great to let him ride my horse, but he still dares to take advantage of me? ?

Lin Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, so he grabbed Cheng Liunian by the collar and lifted him up, carrying him with one hand.

It was like holding a little chicken in the air.

"Ahhhh!!"

Cheng Liunian was stunned at first, and then became panicked.

It turned out that he could hide in Lin Cheng's arms and use the vitality around Lin Cheng to avoid the rain. But now it was better. He was directly picked up by Lin Cheng and hung in the air.

It was already raining heavily, but now it was slapping him in the face indiscriminately and hard.

As the horse galloped, the pattering rain was like steel needles, piercing into his skin and flesh with an extremely strong cold air.

In pain, Cheng Liunian screamed out instinctively.

There is no dignity at all.

My feet were shaking.

If he were put on the ground at this time, he might not be able to stand up for three or four days.

Lin Cheng ignored Cheng Liunian's call, picked him up, hung him in the air, and galloped all the way.

When Cheng Liunian's shouting gradually became quieter and his consciousness began to become blurry, he put Cheng Liunian back on the horse.

Lin Cheng saw that Cheng Liunian's breathing had become weak at this time, and he was afraid that he would die directly, so he gave some vitality to him.

Cheng Liunian felt waves of warmth begin to fill his body, and then his consciousness slowly returned.

It took a while.

Then he raised his heavy eyelids again and looked around.

At this time, the surrounding environment was incomprehensible.

Became extremely strange.

Cheng Liunian didn't know where he was now.

Originally, he could still see the shadow of Kyoto. When he followed Qingluan and the others, he originally wanted to return to Kyoto as soon as possible. But now, he didn't even know where the shadow of Kyoto was.

Fortunately, the rain has lightened up.

I don't know who gave his body some vitality just now, allowing his body to warm up a little. If not, Cheng Liunian would probably be in a bad situation now.

Cheng Liunian looked aside.

I feel that among these people, there is someone who cares about me and is willing to give me energy and help me maintain my body temperature.

Only the white letter announced it.

Cheng Liunian looked at Bai Shuxuan, who was riding a horse and looked quite heroic, and was lost for a moment.

He thought that only such a woman could be worthy of him.

When Cheng Liunian was staring at Bai Shuxuan, Bai Shuxuan seemed to notice something, turned his head and looked at Cheng Liunian, blinked his beautiful eyes, and smiled again.

He didn't say anything, but it seemed that he said everything.

Cheng Liunian felt that just seeing Bai Shuxuan's smile, the haze in his heart during this period of time was swept away.

Cheng Liunian looked for a while, and then lost his mind again.

Lin Cheng noticed Cheng Liunian's eyes, and saw that his eyes looking at Bai Shuxuan showed gratitude, liking, infatuation, and deep love...

Just by looking at Cheng Liunian's expression, Lin Cheng felt that he had goose bumps all over his body.

It was him who gave him vitality, so why was the beggar grateful to Bai Shuxuan?

Lin Cheng couldn't understand what Cheng Liunian was thinking.

But he didn't care.

The rain gradually became lighter.

The sky seemed to be washed away by a layer of dust, and the rain on the road was splashed by the horse's hooves, splashing like a small fountain.

The breeze after the rain carried the fragrance of the soil and the coolness of the rain, blowing on the face, making people feel relaxed.

After the rain stopped, Cheng Liunian's mood became much better.

Although the journey was a bit miserable, especially this Lin Cheng, who dared to hang himself in the air and let the rain slap his face crazily.

However, Cheng Liunian felt that it was a very happy thing to be able to travel with Bai Shuxuan.

Take this opportunity.

Be able to see a person clearly.

Be able to find someone who really cares about and likes you.

Not bad.

Cheng Liunian looked at Bai Shuxuan with an infatuated look, and felt that his soul was already in the shape of Bai Shuxuan.

At this time, the horse's hooves suddenly stopped.

A manor appeared in front.

Bailu Manor, a farm located at the foot of Taihang Mountain, is affiliated to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. The people living here have been raising spirit deer for the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion for three generations, providing a large amount of high-quality spirit meat and deer milk for the mansion.

In Bailu Manor, all the houses are built with local stones and wood, and each house has a simple and pure beauty.

After the rain, the fields in Bailu Manor are covered with green grass, the golden rapeseed flowers are shining in the sun, and the air is filled with the fragrance of soil after the rain.

Cheng Liunian stared at Bailu Manor in front of him.

He arrived at Bailu Manor a few days ago.

After a hard journey, he finally got closer to Kyoto.

As a result, now, following Qingluan and the others, he returned to Bailu Manor?

Cheng Liunian looked ugly and couldn't accept this ending for a while, but he couldn't say anything.

After all, he took the initiative to ask to come with Qingluan and the others.

It wasn't someone else who asked him to come.

There is no way to say the pain, so I can only hold it in.

No one here regards him as a real prince.

"We're here, let's go."

Qingluan got off the horse after arriving at Bailu Manor.

After a while, an old man in a gray robe came to Bailu Manor with several middle-aged men in cloth clothes.

"Miss Qingluan, we have prepared a separate courtyard for you."

"Miss Qingluan asked us to prepare spiritual food that can replenish blood and nourish qi. It has also been arranged. Miss Qingluan, you can take it at will. If it is not enough, I will go to withdraw some now."

The owner of Bailu Manor said with a smile. Even though he was over a hundred years old and his body was slightly hunched, his body was still strong, and there was still a gleam in his deep eyes.

He already looked like a successful cultivator.

Qingluan would not put on airs in front of the owner of Bailu Manor, and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you. When I go back, I will say a few good words for you in front of the prince."

When Qingluan said this, Bailu Manor owner Lu Changshou immediately showed a slight smile and nodded.

"Okay, we in Bailu Manor don't ask for anything. As long as the prince can support the main beam of the Zhenguogong Mansion, it will be fine."

Qingluan smiled and replied, "I will."

"Then I won't talk too much about small talk. Miss Qingluan, please come this way."

Lu Changshou turned aside, leaned forward slightly, and motioned Qingluan and others to go in.

His eyes also fell on the people behind Qingluan.

It was okay when he saw Lin Cheng.

But when he saw Cheng Liunian, his face was slightly stunned, and his face showed some strange expressions.

This kid, isn't he the one who came to Bailu Manor to pretend to be the prince because he looks like the prince?

Why is he back again?

And was he brought back by the girl? ?

Lv Changshou was puzzled, and looked at Qingluan with some doubts, and asked in a low voice: "Miss Qingluan, how did you bring this beggar back?"

Qingluan didn't say much, just replied lightly.

"Don't ask more about this."

Lv Changshou was stunned, and seemed to understand that this was something the prince had ordered.

After all, everyone knew that Qingluan was the personal maid who followed the prince.

The matter that Qingluan came to do in person must have been ordered by the prince himself.

Lv Changshou didn't ask any more questions, and led Qingluan and his party to Bailu Manor.

After walking for only a cup of tea, they went around several alleys and arrived at a courtyard.

This courtyard is not big, slightly larger than an ordinary farmyard. Under the eaves outside the courtyard gate, spiritual food similar to corn is drying, and the color is golden and bright, quite beautiful.

It seems that this courtyard was inhabited not long ago, but it is temporarily vacant at this time.

Qingluan didn't care about this place either. She kept Cheng Guang's instructions in mind. After pushing open the door, she saw that there were many spiritual foods for nourishing blood and qi in the courtyard, so she nodded slightly.

She turned her head to look at everyone, and her eyes swept over Cheng Liunian intentionally or unintentionally.

"We will stay here for a while in the next few days."

"Wait until we return to Kyoto in a while. Those spiritual foods for nourishing blood and qi are specially prepared for the prince. You must not touch them."

After saying that, Qingluan no longer paid attention to everyone, turned around and picked a house and walked in.

After Lin Cheng handed the horse to the people of Bailu Manor, he also walked into the house leisurely.

He didn't know what he should do at this time.

The prince just asked him to follow, but didn't tell him to do anything.

Lin Cheng was confused for a while.

Alas.

When you are in doubt, just beat up the beggar.

Speaking of which.

That beggar looks so much like the prince.

When I beat him, I inexplicably felt like I was beating up the prince.

Hiss...

Sins, sins, can't be like this.

I, Lin Cheng, just beat up the beggar, can't offend the prince.

Thinking so, Lin Cheng passed by the beggar Cheng Liunian and slapped him on the head.

"What are you daydreaming about."

Cheng Liunian cried out in pain, quickly covered his head, and turned to look at Lin Cheng.

He looked confused.

Why did he hit me again without saying anything this time? ?

So you are addicted to beating me, right! ?

Cheng Liunian secretly stared at Lin Cheng, and once Lin Cheng showed signs of turning his head, he immediately lowered his head to prevent Lin Cheng from noticing.

Now Cheng Liunian's heart was full of bitterness.

What a bastard.

After all, he was still a dignified prince of the Zhenguogong, but now he was so afraid of one of his own guards.

If it were in the past, this was something he would not even dare to think about.

But now...

He was powerless to resist.

Cheng Liunian was desperate, how could things develop to this situation.

He just wanted to go back to Kyoto!

Why is it so difficult? !

He had to stay in Bailu Manor for a few more days before he could leave.

Cheng Liunian also thought about running away secretly.

But Bailu Manor is still hundreds of miles away from Kyoto.

If he wanted to go by himself, he might not be able to get there in seven days, and it would be very troublesome.

Following Qingluan and others, as long as he didn't waste too much time, he could return to Kyoto in just one day by riding a horse.

For him, it was good after all.

At least it saved physical strength.

And...

In the next few days, he could see Bai Shuxuan more...

Thinking of this, Cheng Liunian couldn't help but look at Bai Shuxuan again, who stood quietly aside like an immortal descending to the earth.

Just a glance, Cheng Liunian felt that his whole body and mind were healed.

He hesitated for a moment.

Cheng Liunian immediately decided to have a good chat with Bai Shuxuan.

After all, she was his fiancée.

Not the groom's in the mansion now!

Cheng Liunian approached Bai Shuxuan with a sense of ease.

"That... Miss Bai..."

Cheng Liunian greeted Bai Shuxuan cautiously.

Bai Shuxuan turned her head slightly when she heard the voice, and when she saw Cheng Liunian, her eyebrows slightly bent and she smiled.

Her face was already beautiful.

When Yan smiled.

It felt like a warm spring breeze blowing into Cheng Liunian's heart, making him feel that the sky was wide and the clouds were relaxed, and the wind was calm.

Bai Shuxuan did not reply.

Hongzhu beside Bai Shuxuan heard Cheng Liunian's call, raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately frowned.

She thought so.

It was acceptable that her young lady was obsessed with the son of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Although I don't know what means the son used to make her young lady suddenly change her appearance.

But the son of the Duke of Zhenguo is at least a person who stands at the top of the power of the Great Zhou. If the young lady really follows the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, it is not unacceptable.

Maybe she can get a concubine in the future.

But, it's too much for a beggar like you to get involved.

Hong Zhu stopped in front of Bai Shuxuan and said coldly: "What's wrong with you?"

Cheng Liunian was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Looking at Hong Zhu, he felt that Hong Zhu's appearance was not bad. She was wearing a red dress, simple but with some temperament.

It was just different from her appearance. She looked quite well-behaved, but her voice was quite cold.

She was completely different from her young lady.

Miss Bai was still gentler.

Cheng Liunian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and when he looked at Bai Shuxuan, there was a little more infatuation in his eyes.

"Excuse me, Miss, I want to say a few words to Miss Bai, can I?"

Cheng Liunian spoke slowly and with a faint smile on his face, showing his attitude as the son of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Normally, he would never speak to someone so softly and kindly.

However, this time Cheng Liunian saw Bai Shuxuan's face and patiently talked to Hong Zhu.

But Cheng Liunian didn't expect that even though he behaved so politely, Hong Zhu still didn't give him any face.

She directly scolded him with a cold brow:

"What is your identity?"

"What is my lady's identity?"

"Don't get involved! If the prince knew about it, you wouldn't have enough heads to chop off."

Hong Zhu didn't know Cheng Guang's plan at this time, so this time she was acting in her true colors.

Bai Shuxuan was still smiling faintly. After hearing Hongzhu's words, he saw Cheng Liunian's face gradually darken. He pursed his red lips and said softly:

"Hongzhu, stop talking."

Hongzhu was still a little unconvinced, "That's right. Miss, you are now following the prince. If the prince misunderstands anything, our lives will be difficult."

As Hongzhu spoke, Cheng Liunian's face had completely darkened.

No one had ever said, "What is his identity?"!

Some even said that if the prince knew, he would have ten heads to chop off!

Which prince! ?

Who can chop off his head! ?

Who dares to chop off his head! ?

Cheng Liunian only felt a sense of depression in his chest, unable to vent, making his face extremely ugly.

At this time, Bai Shuxuan's voice slowly sounded in his ears.

"Hongzhu, don't say that. This young master may have something to tell me. Let's listen to what he has to say first."

Bai Shuxuan said with a smile, his eyes fell on Cheng Liunian, which seemed to contain some concern.

"Are you in any trouble?"

"Are you feeling better?"

Bai Shuxuan's words made Cheng Liunian feel a little warm in his heart.

As expected, as expected.

Miss Bai is his true love.

She cares so much about his feelings.

Even if his identity has not been made public at this time, Bai Shuxuan can still deal with him like this.

This really touched Cheng Liunian.

It was also at this moment that Cheng Liunian wanted to tell Bai Shuxuan his identity more urgently.

He is the real prince! !

He is! !

Thinking of this, Cheng Liunian looked around and finally fell on Hongzhu.

"Miss Bai, I'm fine now, but I do have something very important to tell you."

"Can we find a place alone to talk?"

When Hongzhu heard this, she wanted to say something.

Cheng Liunian was already impatient. He pointed at Hongzhu with one hand, his eyes flashed fiercely, and shouted coldly: "Shut up!"

Hongzhu was stunned.

She was obviously frightened by Cheng Liunian's fierce look.

It seemed that she didn't expect that this beggar could burst out with such a fierce momentum.

After Hongzhu reacted, her face was a little red.

She felt that it was too embarrassing to be frightened by a beggar like this.

But this time, Bai Shuxuan had already grabbed her before she could speak.

Let her be quiet for a while.

Hongzhu has done a good job. If she continues to stimulate, Cheng Liunian will probably go crazy.

Bai Shuxuan smiled, showing that he wanted to agree, but was a little hesitant.

Cheng Liunian saw this and knew there was a play.

He immediately took advantage of the victory and said:

"Miss Bai, it's really an important matter!"

"And it's related to your lifelong event!!"

After hearing what Cheng Liunian said, Bai Shuxuan's expression was no longer tangled. He just sighed and said softly:

"Well, since you said it's an important matter, I can listen to it."

When Cheng Liunian heard Bai Shuxuan agreed, he was ecstatic.

He immediately wanted to pull Bai Shuxuan to a remote corner in the courtyard.

But...

When Cheng Liunian was about to grab Bai Shuxuan, Bai Shuxuan quietly stepped back a few steps, leaving him empty.

Cheng Liunian's face was slightly startled, and seeing Bai Shuxuan's indifferent face, the smile on his face began to slowly converge.

His mood instantly became flustered.

He quickly waved his hand to apologize:

"That, Miss Bai, I didn't mean it..."

At this time, Cheng Liunian had not yet realized that Bai Shuxuan's every move had already stirred his mind.

He was being influenced subtly.

He has become a dog.

Bai Shuxuan's expression eased slightly, and then he said in a clear voice: "Young Master, please respect yourself..."

Cheng Liunian nodded quickly, and did not dare to offend.

This is indeed a habit he developed after visiting brothels too many times in the past.

Facing those brothel girls, the action here is not a big deal.

But if you rashly touch ordinary girls, you will inevitably be considered a pervert.

Fortunately, it is Miss Bai.

Otherwise, I will definitely not have a good ending today.

Cheng Liunian secretly rejoiced in his heart, and his good impression of Bai Shuxuan climbed to a higher level.

Cheng Liunian took Bai Shuxuan to a corner of the courtyard, and when he saw that there was no one around, he spoke with peace of mind.

"Miss Bai, actually, you don't know my identity."

When Bai Shuxuan heard Cheng Liunian's words, he guessed what he was going to say, but he still pretended to be confused on the surface.

"Your identity?"

Cheng Liunian nodded heavily.

His face was solemn, and his demeanor became noble at the same time.

"I am actually the real prince of the Duke of Zhenguo!"

"That is the one you are going to marry!"

"That prince in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is just my groom!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Liunian was already gritting his teeth.

"For some reason, I wanted to sneak out of the mansion, so I found a substitute who looked like me and asked him to replace me in the mansion to hide from others, but I didn't expect..."

"I don't know what means he used to hide it, and he was not discovered by my father, and he was able to leave the mansion!"

"Now he has completely pretended to be me and swindled people!"

"You have all been deceived by him!"

When Bai Shuxuan heard this, his expression became shocked, and his lips turned red, as if he couldn't believe it.

Cheng Liunian took a deep breath, "I know you can't fully understand what I said now, but I just need you to remember my words in your heart."

"When I return to Kyoto, I will have a way to contact my mother, and then I can prove my identity!"

Bai Shuxuan frowned slightly, and seemed a little confused.

"You can contact Princess Yuemei?"

"What means?"

Cheng Liunian smiled and took out a string of jade pendants from under his collar, "This is the peace jade my mother asked for me. As long as it is in Kyoto, she can feel it when this jade is broken."

"If you leave Kyoto, you can't feel it."

"That's why I said that only when I go to Kyoto can my mother know my existence."

Cheng Liunian was not on guard against Bai Shuxuan. In his eyes looking at Bai Shuxuan, in addition to the color of fascination, there was also a lot of trust.

After Cheng Liunian finished speaking, he kept staring at Bai Shuxuan's face.

After he saw that Bai Shuxuan was only slightly surprised, he still had a bit of doubt on his face, as if he didn't believe what he said. Although he had expected this, he still felt a bit disappointed.

At this time, he heard Bai Shuxuan ask again: "If you are the real prince, is your body's origin also damaged?"

Cheng Liunian was ecstatic when he heard this. Yes, how could he have forgotten this.

The damage to the body's origin can be regarded as a major evidence to prove his identity!

So, Cheng Liunian nodded quickly.

"Yes, or you can check my body."

Bai Shuxuan reached out one hand and placed it on Cheng Liunian's shoulder. The vitality flowed into his body. After exploring a circle, his face became solemn.

His red lips opened slightly.

His whole expression became horrified.

"You..."

"You are really..."

Cheng Liunian nodded, looking solemn.

"Miss Bai, you must not tell anyone else about my identity. I suspect Qingluan has betrayed me."

Bai Shuxuan shook his head: "I don't know, but if you are the real prince, then the healing method that Cheng Zhihai brought back from outside this time may be useful to you."

"The healing method my father brought back? Healing? Is it to heal the origin?" Cheng Liunian was stunned for a moment.

Bai Shuxuan nodded:

"You are too weak now, and your origin is damaged. Of course, it can prove your identity, but you don't know whether the person in the Zhenguo Mansion has also faked his injury."

"If you are the real prince, you might as well get treatment in Bailu Manor."

"Wouldn't it be better to return to the mansion after the injury is healed?"

Cheng Liunian listened in a daze, thinking that there was no big problem with what Bai Shuxuan said, but it always made him feel a little strange. For a moment, he couldn't tell where it was strange.

He just asked blankly: "Do you know what my father's healing method is this time?"

Bai Shuxuan nodded and said: "I know!"

"This time, I came out to collect spiritual food for the prince to heal his body. You can secretly heal in my room, Qingluan and others won't find out."

"I will help you hide it from them."

When Cheng Liunian heard what Bai Shuxuan said, he was so moved that he almost cried. He rubbed his slightly wet eyes and said immediately: "Miss Bai, you are so kind."

"If I return home, I will definitely marry you as my wife!"

After hearing what Cheng Liunian said, Bai Shuxuan felt a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth. She didn't say much, but asked Cheng Liunian not to make it public. She would prepare all the medicines for Cheng Liunian to treat his injuries.

Cheng Liunian nodded, still a little suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help asking a question.

"Miss Bai, is this healing method called healing method? Is there a more serious name?"

Bai Shuxuan thought for a while and said, "Yes, it is. The proper name is bloodletting therapy."

"Bloodletting therapy?" Cheng Liunian murmured and repeated. For some reason, he always felt that this name was not particularly serious.

Bai Shuxuan didn't care about him much, but just said, "Come to my room tonight and try it. If it works, we will continue the treatment. If not, forget it."

Cheng Liunian heard what Bai Shuxuan said, and there was also the temptation of Bai Shuxuan's room.

He gritted his teeth and agreed immediately.

Let's try it first!

It's just a little blood anyway!

Before, I suffered a lot under Cheng Zhihai.

Now it's just bleeding, it seems easy!
