Her voice was light, and one could feel her cold temperament just by listening to her voice.
His rapid breathing carried a refreshing fragrance.
Gu Zhou found it funny. A person who was being hunted down was holding a person who had committed a crime and might be wanted by the government. This was a coincidence.
"You're injured. Shall I bring you back to the inn?”
"Shut up!"
The woman in black said coldly.
"By the way, don't you want to change your clothes? Even a fool would know that you're an assassin if you walk out in this outfit.”
The woman in black lowered her head to look at what she was wearing. She tore off her black clothes and wore a green tight-fitting martial robe. Her chest, back, and arms were stained with blood.
It was late at night. Gu Zhou had already explored the road and took a shortcut with the woman. In a few minutes, they climbed over the wall and returned to the inn.
Gu Zhou was half a head taller than the woman. The woman was holding him hostage. It was a little difficult for her to strangle his neck, so she stuck close to his back, causing the woman's face to blush. It was unknown whether it was because she was injured or because she was shy.
Back in his room, Gu Zhou said,"By the way, you won't kill me, right? I'm a great citizen."”
The woman pushed Gu Zhou away, and the blush on her face faded. She snorted coldly and said,"You're a good citizen, so am I! Would a good citizen be in an alley late at night with a knife?”
Gu Zhou sat down and poured himself a glass of water. He raised his eyebrows when he heard that."What's wrong? Which law states that good people can't walk on the streets at night? Which law states that a good citizen can't carry a knife?”
"Cut the crap! As long as you don't meddle in other people's business, I won't kill you! After I escape, you can go wherever you want. Even if you want to report me, it's up to you.”
The woman's face was already pale and cold sweat covered her face. Clearly, she was seriously injured.
She did not believe Gu Zhou's words at all. Although he looked quite strong and carried a knife, he should have learned martial arts for a few years. Such strength was not a threat to her.
"Alright, I hope you won't lie to me."
Gu Zhou pretended to be relieved.
The woman nodded." No matter what, you helped me to the inn and saved my life. I, Xiao…I will never harm my benefactor's life."”
It seemed that her surname was Xiao.
"Miss, do you want me to help you heal your injuries…" Gu Zhou chuckled.
The woman suddenly lay on the bed with her head raised, and the sword in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Gu Zhou got up and went to the bedside. The woman had not fainted yet. Perhaps her injuries were too serious and her entire body was weak.
She was tall, and her hair was black and shiny. It was as soft as a black waterfall that fell on her shoulders, making her look even more elegant. Her entire body was exuding an extraordinary and refined beauty.
Her lips were red and full, her nose bridge was tall, and her eyebrows were like a distant black cat.
Her pretty face was as cold as her voice. Her pale face made her look pitiful.
Gu Zhou was about to check his wound when she raised her hand to press against his chest. Just as she raised her hand, she fell weakly and fainted.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in corpses.”
Gu Zhou muttered to himself. He removed her blood-stained clothes and carefully examined her three wounds.
The wound on his chest near his abdomen was the deepest, and it might have hurt his internal organs. It was a serious injury.
The wounds on his back and arms were so deep that his bones could be seen.
If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to walk far with any of these three wounds.
"Consider yourself lucky to have met me."
Gu Zhou found a Gushing Spring Mantra.
He had gotten a lot of benefits from Shi Jian. He had more than a dozen types of talismans, and he had a few of each type. There was the Vajra Mantra for self-protection, and the Gushing Spring Mantra for healing.
If he was on the verge of death, the Gushing Spring Incantation could keep him alive for a few minutes.
With the treatment of the Gushing Spring Mantra, her serious injuries could be turned into light injuries in five hours. It would be even easier for her to recover from light injuries in a few hours.
However, the Gushing Spring Mantra could only heal injuries, not the body. He would need to recuperate his body to recover.
Therefore, it was better to have a backer.
Moreover, it was a huge backer like Mao Mountain.
If he took a wild Taoist priest as his master, he would not even have a strand of hair.
Dharmic powers poured into the Gushing Spring Mantra, and the entire talisman turned into a ball of green light. It carried the aura of life, and it was like starlight falling on the woman's body. The effect was immediate. Her pale face had a hint of redness, and the wound on her arm, which was the least injured, could clearly be seen wriggling.
"The effect is shocking!"
Thinking of the hundreds of captives in Mao Mountain, Gu Zhou's heart was burning. He just wanted to find Shi Jian and learn the art of capturing captives.
Unfortunately, the art of talismans could only be learned at the fifth level of Transformation into Qi.
Before the fifth level of Essence into Qi, one's magic power was too weak. After drawing a few talismans, one's magic power would be exhausted, and the efficiency of learning was too low.
Ten minutes later, the woman's cold face became more and more flushed, and her life was out of danger.
At this moment, there was a flurry of footsteps outside. Gu Zhou went to the window and looked down. He saw a group of patrol officers outside the inn. The leader was communicating with the person in charge."An assassin tried to assassinate the county magistrate and injured him. He escaped with injuries.”
"Sir, please come in. I'll go get the name list now.”
"Hurry up! You guys go in and search. Remember, don't miss a single corner!”
…………
Gu Zhou's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and looked at the sleeping woman on the bed. He sighed softly."I'm afraid only your father is so considerate of you.”
He carried the woman in his arms and went to the window. After making sure that all the soldiers had come in, he hooked one hand to the window and used both his hands and feet. A few seconds later, he reached the roof. He carefully placed the woman on a relatively flat place and placed the knife and sword beside her. Then, he returned to the room and took off his clothes to cover himself with the blanket.
Bang bang bang!
There was a loud knock on the door.
He got up to open the door and rubbed his eyes, looking sleepy."Officials, it's so late. What can I do for you?”
Seeing Gu Zhou's extraordinary temperament, the three soldiers softened their attitude."The higher-ups have ordered us to search for the assassin.”
"Sir, please come in." Gu Zhou stepped aside and stared at the three of them. If he found any flaws, he might have to kill his way out.
In less than a minute, they had searched every corner of the room.
"Sorry to disturb you."
A soldier took the initiative to close the door for Gu Zhou.
After half an hour, the soldiers left the inn.
…………
It was already the beginning of winter, and the temperature in the middle of the night was close to zero degrees. Even with a few layers of clothes covering the roof, it could not block out the cold wind.
Xiao Hongyi woke up from the cold and opened her sleepy eyes in a daze. She felt her hands and feet were cold and her body was uneven.
