Chapter 161 The little heartless one
"Only you know this."
Chu Changxuan rode his horse side by side with Jiang Li, staring at Jiang Li with his gentle eyes.
"Ok?"
Jiang Li was stunned, and even suspected that Chu Changxun was just trying to trick her last night.
"How should I know..."
Seeing her helpless look, the man couldn't bear to keep her in suspense.
"Princess, do you still remember your master, Yan Guihong, the Ghost Hand Doctor of Dongli?"
"You mean... go find my master?!"
Jiang Li subconsciously tightened the reins in her hands. Why didn't she think of him?
"That's right. If he is also helpless against this poison, then there really is no one in this world who can cure it."
While Chu Changxun was speaking, his eyes never left Jiang Li.
He was worried about Jiang Li's reaction, but he also wanted to give her a shot of prevention.
If the prince really dies here... then it is all fate.
"According to what the princess said last time, the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor has been living in seclusion in Beichen. If we rush back and forth now, it will take at least four days, so we have to hurry."
"Okay! I know where the master is, I'll take you there!"
Jiang Li didn't dare to delay. She gripped the reins tightly and squeezed the horse's belly hard.
The horse sensed her eagerness, and after a long and spiritual neigh, it carried her out of the camp quickly.
Li Junlin stood tall not far away, looking at the two people one in front and one behind. His deep eyes were like ink that could not be dissolved, so thick and terrifying.
……
Perhaps because her nerves were tense, Jiang Li didn't feel tired at all along the way. It only took them a day and a half to reach the hill where the Ghost Hand Doctor lived in seclusion.
Along the way, Chu Changxun advised her many times to stop and rest for a while, but she turned a deaf ear to him.
The man had no choice but to pay more attention to her condition and follow her on her way without stopping.
Jiang Li didn't get up and dismount until she saw the familiar thatched courtyard.
She couldn't explain how she felt. Perhaps it was because she was revisiting an old place, and the memories of the original owner came flooding back like the sea.
But Jiang Li only felt strange and familiar...
Although she felt as if she had witnessed the interactions between the original owner and the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor, it was ultimately not her own personal experience, and she was afraid that there would be some flaws...
Nothing more...
Jiang Li took a deep breath, and when she opened her almond-shaped eyes again, only determination remained.
She couldn't forget her roots; putting herself into a role was what she was best at...
"Is this right here?"
When Chu Changxuan saw Jiang Li staring at the yard in a daze, he thought she was homesick and afraid that the Ghost Hand Doctor would blame her for not visiting him for so many years.
"Um……"
The girl's voice was muffled, which further confirmed Chu Changxun's guess.
"Don't be afraid, the old man, the Ghost Hand Doctor, won't blame you."
Chu Changxun was serious about what he said; this was all based on his intuition.
After all, the girl is not only cute and adorable, but also has a very soft personality. No one would be willing to get angry at her watery almond eyes.
After all, one look into her aggrieved almond eyes would make my heart melt... How could I still be angry?
But this is Chu Changfeng's guess after all...
……
"You still remember to come back! Get out!"
With a "bang!", the shaky wooden door almost hit Jiang Li's nose.
The girl touched the tip of her nose, and when she turned around to meet Chu Changxun's surprised gaze, she smiled awkwardly.
"Haha, well... he just has a bit of a bad temper..."
Chu Changfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was quite different from what he expected...
"Who are you calling grumpy, you little bastard?"
Yan Guihong, who was separated by a door, did not leave. Instead, he lay on the wooden door and looked out quietly through the gaps in the tattered wooden boards.
I was originally worried that the little girl would really be driven away by his anger, but unexpectedly, I heard her secretly complaining to Pang Ren about his bad temper! ?
Jiang Li felt a shudder on her back, and the next second she saw the white-bearded old man appear in front of her with a frown on his face.
“Master…!”
"Who is your master! I am not your master! A heartless little..."
The old man's furious tone became weaker and weaker, and at the end, he even had a bit of the grievance of an empty-nest elderly person...
Jiang Li's heart ached for a moment, and she placed her small hand on her chest. Perhaps the original owner's body was feeling guilty...
"Master...I am unfilial. I haven't come to see you for so long."
The corners of Jiang Li's eyes flushed, and tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks instantly.
Yan Guihong could have snorted softly, but when he saw the string of tears, he was visibly panicked.
"Oh my, oh my, I haven't scolded you yet, why are you still crying like a child..."
"Never mind, it's cold outside, come in!"
"Um……"
Jiang Li responded sullenly, then raised her hand to wipe away her tears the next second and walked in honestly.
Chu Changxun followed behind, his handsome expression a little dazed.
It seems to be no different from his guess...
"Who are you?……"
As soon as the man entered the room, he was met with Yan Guihong's death stare.
Why is this little girl surrounded by so many men? Last time, she abandoned him, an empty-nest old man, for a gigolo and didn't visit him for so long. Why did she suddenly come back and bring back another gigolo...
Thinking of Li Junlin, whom Jiang Li loved to death, Yan Guihong's gaze towards Chu Changxun was not very friendly at this time.
Chu Changxun was a little panicked for a moment when his idol looked at him in this way.
"Junior, I'm being rude! I'm Chu Changxun, and I'm..."
He couldn't bring himself to mention the title of Prince Dongli. After all, he had not forgotten the grudges between him and the Dongli royal family.
Although he didn't say it, Yan Guihong still narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
"The surname Chu... This is the surname of the Dongli royal family. Are you from the Dongli royal family? "
Seeing that Yan Guihong's expression had indeed changed, Chu Changxun lowered his head even more fiercely.
"Exactly..."
Yan Guihong did not drive him out directly as Chu Changxun expected, but speculated in a low voice,
"Why would the prince of Dongli Kingdom come to Beichen's territory... Could he be a hostage?"
The old man's words hit the nail on the head in Chu Changxun's heart. The man rolled his Adam's apple and his voice became a little hoarse.
"Um……"
Seeing Chu Changxun's depressed mood, Jiang Li felt a little guilty and wanted to step forward to smooth things over.
She had always known that although Chu Changxun never said it, he still cared a lot about this identity.
"master……"
As soon as the girl spoke, Yan Guihong said something that surprised both of them.
"He's a pitiful man. The emperors of Dongli are indeed all cold and ruthless, inherited from their ancestors."
"Well, come in too."
