Chapter 89 Adoption
The long sword in Liang Jiang’s hand was like a white sword, flying up and down, making people dizzy. The fierce murderous aura burst out, and the several silver-armored guards didn't know how to intervene.
Gu Xizhi evaded everything and did not fight back. He couldn't dodge in time, and the long sword stabbed directly into his left shoulder, causing blood to spatter immediately.
Time stood still for a moment.
Watching the chess game, he exclaimed: "Your Majesty!"
The hot blood rushing to Liang Jiang's forehead gradually cooled down, and he knew what trouble he had caused.
After all, he is a prince.
Gu Xizhi just glanced at the bleeding wound, slowly raised his lips, and asked calmly: "Are you relieved?"
Liang Jiang's hand trembled, and the sword in his hand clattered to the ground.
The guards immediately swarmed forward, but Gu Xizhi stopped them by shouting: "It's important to capture the Demon Lord, go and search for me!"
The words woke up the dreamer, and Liang Jiang felt hope rising in his heart.
Maybe he can survive the catastrophe?
He immediately turned around and took the two girls with him to find a shortcut down the mountain.
Guanqi stepped forward anxiously: "Your Majesty, your injury..."
Gu Xizhi waved his hand: "It's just a little skin injury. Don't worry about me. Hurry and go to the bottom of the cliff to see how the Demon Lord is doing."
Guan Qi stood still and said, "So many people have already gone."
Gu Xizhi lowered his voice: "There are spies among the people we brought. I can't believe it. Go down in person. If the Demon Lord is injured, you must find a way to help him leave this place safely. But don't let anyone see the flaw."
Guan Qi was stunned for a moment: "What are you..."
"Don't ask, I have my own plans."
Guan Qi nodded and immediately turned around, following everyone to find a way to get to the bottom of the cliff.
Liang Jiang was the first to reach the bottom of the cliff.
Searching around frantically.
All the guards stayed away from Liang Jiang from the beginning to the end, and no one dared to get close. It's terrible to see this good girl get angry. Who dares to provoke such a life-threatening person?
After half a day of searching, Guan Qi and others did not find Baili Shouyue's body. Only a pool of fresh blood was found under the cliff.
It looked like he must have been seriously injured. But there should be no fear of life.
Liang Jiang felt guilty and somewhat relieved.
Guan Qi teased angrily: "My prince has helped you at least, but you hurt my prince just because of a big devil. It's really heartless."
Liang Jiang frowned: "When did your prince save me?"
"You can even forget your life-saving grace, you white-eyed wolf."
Liang Jiang choked: "I only met him a few times, but you should tell me clearly, when did he save me?"
Guanqi said angrily: "Guess it yourself. I won't help you once or twice."
It's so unappetizing.
Liang Jiang curled his lips and thought about it. What he was referring to in his words was probably Gu Xizhi's plea for mercy in front of the Duke's palace.
Don't awkwardly go back the way you came, and saw that Gu Xizhi had already bandaged his wound. Strips of white cloth torn from who knows where, were tied twice in a mess, and blood was already oozing out.
Gu Xizhi was probably tired from running around for the past two days. He was leaning against a tree, closing his eyes and concentrating.
Hearing the footsteps of several people, he raised his eyelids and took a look, then closed them again.
He just asked calmly: "How?"
Guan Qi replied: "He was very lucky. He must have suffered serious internal injuries. He escaped after falling off the cliff."
Gu Xizhi hummed in a low voice: "Go back to Beijing."
He didn't mention anything about Liang Jiang stabbing him, and he didn't seem to blame him.
Liang Jiang was still angry with him, so he took out a bottle of medicine for knife wounds from his arms, threw it into Guan Qi's arms, and left with Yu Shu and the others without saying a word. She was not in a hurry to return to Beijing, and ordered Yushu to immediately convey the news, search everywhere for Baili Zuoyue's whereabouts, and protect his safety at all costs.
After all, he has many enemies in the martial arts world. If they learn that he is seriously injured, they will definitely hunt him down.
After two days of delay in Qingzhou, nothing was found. There was no news about Baili keeping his promise.
The Queen Mother's birthday was approaching, so Liang Jiang had no choice but to give up and return to Beijing.
On the way back to the city, they were still riding horses, with Gu Xizhi and the others following closely behind, almost never leaving.
Because his shoulder was injured and it was inconvenient to ride a horse, Guanqi found a carriage for him, and the group escorted Jin Shouxing back to Shangjing until the city gate of Shangjing.
Liang Jiang reined in the horse, took off the golden longevity star from his back, and threw it into Gu Xizhi's carriage without looking at it.
"Take it and claim the reward!"
Gu Xizhi raised his hand to catch the bundle, lifted the curtain, and glanced at Liang Jiang on horseback.
"You deserve a lot of credit for finding the golden birthday girl. I will ask for credit for you."
"That's not necessary." Liang Jiang snorted coldly: "We will never see you again."
He shook the horse's reins and went straight into the city to return to the Duke's mansion.
Gu Xizhi shook his head helplessly: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it."
Guanqi felt sorry for the injury on his prince's shoulder, and said angrily: "That's because you, prince, are so generous that you didn't care about her. She was too cruel."
Gu Xizhi frowned and said, "Don't make it public about my injury."
Guan Qi reluctantly agreed: "Then let's go to the Hou Mansion first?"
Gu Xizhi put down the car curtain: "No, let's go directly to the palace."
The Duke's Mansion.
As soon as Liang Jiang entered the door, Uncle Mute came straight to greet her: "Princess, you are back."
Liang Jiang responded absently: "Yes, I'm back."
"Go to the ancestral hall quickly!"
Liang Jiang paused: "What's wrong?"
The mute uncle looked around before replying: "The second master insists on adopting the young master to the Duke's house. Isn't that..."
Before the dumb uncle could finish his words, Liang Jiang had already rushed straight to the ancestral hall in a hurry.
While he was not in the Duke's Mansion, the second uncle's abacus was about to fall on his face.
By passing Liang Wendong into his father's name, not only can he successfully inherit the position of Duke, but he can also legitimately occupy the Duke's palace.
I really don’t want to give up my child to trap the wolf, I don’t even want my son anymore.
Ancestral Hall of the Good Family.
The wooden doors that were closed in the past were wide open, and sandalwood scent curled up.
Liang Wenshi, Mrs. Liang, Mr. Liang and others gathered in the ancestral hall.
The adoption documents have been written, and Mrs. Liangwen impatiently urged Mrs. Liang: "The Duke's mansion cannot have no successor. If you adopt Liangdong, Liangdong will be able to provide for you in the future, right? Mother is also thinking about you."
Mrs. Liang sneered: "My second brother only has one son, Wen Dong. He took care of me until his death, so who will care about them? How can I win someone's love? What's more, I have a daughter like Liang Jiang, which is enough."
Second Master Liang said displeasedly: "Liangjiang is a girl. She can fulfill her filial piety before the bedside, but she cannot carry on the family line for you and my eldest brother. Without Wen Dong, this Duke's palace is over. My eldest brother is still alive in heaven, and I'm afraid he can't rest in peace."
"When your eldest brother was alive, you mentioned this matter several times, but he refused all of them. Now that he is alive in heaven, he will probably not agree!"
"The adoption is a matter of good family fortune!" Liangwen said angrily, "It doesn't matter what you say."
Mrs. Liang said calmly: "Since I said it doesn't matter, then why do you force me to sign this adoption document?"
Liang Wenshi snorted coldly: "Why, nothing I said is of any use? Have you forgotten how you promised me two years ago? Now that you have gone back on your promise, I have already got the best of both worlds!"
