Chapter 119 Finally Arrived
Zhongtian held a large chicken leg in his hand. The chicken leg smelled delicious, which aroused Xia Lan's craving.
Xia Lan licked her lips, perhaps because she was really hungry, and a fawning smile appeared on her face: "Zhong Tian, did you come to bring me food?"
"Yeah that's right."
Zhong Tian revealed a friendly smile, which greatly surprised Xia Lan!
Xia Lan asked suspiciously, "You didn't add any laxatives or muscle relaxants to it, did you?"
Zhongtian turned and left: "My good intentions have been wasted. If you don't want to eat it, fine!"
Xia Lan immediately stepped forward, pounced on Zhong Tian's hand, and started eating the chicken leg.
People who are spoiled from a young age are prone to taking advantage of others. Xia Lan complained that the chicken leg was too dry and casually instructed Zhong Tian, "Zhong Tian, go get me some hot tea! This chicken leg is too dry!"
Zhongtian didn't get angry and responded good-naturedly.
Xia Lan ate her chicken leg and drank her hot tea, her eyes showing a hint of kindness as she looked at Zhong Tian: "Zhong Tian, you are a good person."
Zhongtian, who was considered a good person, even patted Xia Lan on the back. Xia Lan enjoyed it and didn't realize that Zhongtian had lingered on her back for too long!
The sky was completely dark, and Zhongtian, who had been given plenty of benefits, was able to share a room with Qiantang.
Xia Lan, looking utterly miserable, was still locked outside. Du Chen, clutching his sword, slept with his eyes half-closed, occasionally lifting his eyelids to glance at Xia Lan.
It's already autumn, and Xia Lan is locked outside. She's wearing very thin clothes, and a gust of wind blows by, and her body, which had warmed up a bit after eating a hot meal, gradually cools down again.
She had no choice but to slowly stand up, rub her arms, and move her body, which was already stiff from the cold. To her surprise, she felt that the rope binding her was loose!
If I just pull a little harder, I can break free of the rope and escape!
She glanced at the yamen runner sleeping soundly beside her, and a thought struck her. She wanted to escape; she never wanted to live such a miserable life again!
She immediately and quietly applied force, and the rope broke!
Nakata, who was fast asleep, was awakened by a series of pitiful howls and immediately went outside to see what was happening.
All she saw was the extremely pitiful Xia Lan.
The three constables surrounded Xia Lan, punching and kicking her. Qian Tang beat her the most severely.
"Something happened, but the rope on Xia Lan's back came loose, allowing her to escape!"
A wave of relief washed over her: "Luckily, we discovered it in time. If a key criminal had escaped, we would all be implicated. We should be more vigilant!"
Xia Lan's face was covered in bruises and green patches, clearly she had been beaten badly! She cried out like a wild boar about to be slaughtered!
Du Chen rubbed his ears impatiently, a fierce look on his face. He immediately stomped on Xia Lan's leg, and with a crack, Xia Lan's leg broke. Xia Lan fainted from the pain!
Fearing that someone might die, Zhongtian immediately went to help Xia Lan.
Xia Lan collapsed to the ground like a limp rag, unconscious, her forehead covered in cold sweat from the pain.
These three jailers are used to dealing with vicious and ruthless people. To subdue these evil people, they themselves must be ruthless.
They added another layer of chains to Xia Lan, and after confirming that Xia Lan could no longer escape, they went to sleep again.
Zhongtian wanted to go see Xia Lan, but Qiantang gave him a warning look and then took him back to rest!
The next day, when Zhongtian came out, he found that Xia Lan was awake. Her legs were extremely swollen, and her face was abnormally flushed. This was because her wounds hadn't been treated in time, and she had developed a fever!
As the group prepared to set off, they discovered that their impulsive actions the previous night had led to a major blunder: Xia Lan's leg was broken, rendering her completely unable to walk! Moreover, she was delirious with fever.
With each step she took, Xia Lan let out a wail! Finally, unable to bear the pain any longer, she even forgot her fear and sat on the ground, throwing a tantrum.
"Grandma, I can't leave. If you make me leave again, I'll smash my head against a rock and die. Are you blind? Can't you see I have a fever? I can't take this suffering anymore!"
Although Xia Lan was kicked, Qian Tang still decided to rest here for a few days. Otherwise, the three of them couldn't take turns carrying Xia Lan on their way!
This was exactly what Nakata wanted, so he went up and pretended to offer a few words of advice.
"Gentlemen, please have mercy! Xia Lan's leg really can't take it anymore. Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. Once Xia Lan's leg is healed, we can travel day and night and we'll definitely get there."
After saying this, Zhongtian handed the silver in his pocket to the three constables.
The silver was given by Li Liang. Shun Ning Express covers the entire territory of Zhaohua Kingdom, and you can withdraw silver at any shop.
The three constables bit the genuine silver in their hands, looked at the wealthy man in front of them who could take out large sums of money at any time, and reluctantly nodded.
Zhongtian summoned a doctor on the way. The doctor was one of Li Liang's men. Avoiding the constables, the doctor quietly asked, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Save her life, but don't let her recover too quickly!"
"Yes"
Xia Lan's injury never healed, and Zhong Tian often went to see her. Every time, he would see her clutching her leg and crying out in pain.
Xia Lan was the best at finding convenient ways for herself. The injury on her leg became her weapon. She rested at the inn for three whole days. Even when she finally managed to set off, a journey that should have taken a day took her three days to complete.
At first, the three men were unhurried, but later, the three constables became anxious. Qian Tang held his sword to Xia Lan's neck and said, "If we don't reach the next post station tonight, I'll chop you up! Anyway, we'll be punished if we're late!"
Xia Lan quickened her pace.
Zhongtian was just as anxious as they were; according to her calculations, Le Xingxi should have already caught up with them.
If they still couldn't make it by today, Zhongtian was alarmed; then Lexingxi must have run into trouble!
Xia Lan quickened her pace, and the group's journey also sped up. They finally arrived at a dilapidated post station before nightfall.
The inn was quite lively tonight. Not only did Zhongtian and his group check in, but when Qiantang was registering, Zhongtian also saw a man who was covered up tightly. The familiar figure caught Zhongtian's eye!
Inside the inn was a rather young girl of 18, just turned 18, and she looked extremely clever!
She glanced at Zhong Tian casually, and Zhong Tian immediately realized that she was also one of Xia Muning's people!
The little girl was very clever and packed the luggage for the constables. She also cooked a sumptuous meal for them.
This meal not only tastes amazing, but it also has another benefit: it contains a special ingredient that can help you sleep soundly until dawn!
Late at night, Nakata knocked on the man's door, and a clear but slightly fearful voice came from inside: "Who's outside?"
"Xingxi, it's me, open the door!"
The door was opened.
Le Xingxi immediately threw herself into Zhong Tian's arms, crying pitifully and heartbroken!
