Chapter 44 Not a Human
It was late at night, but there were a lot of people on the street. There were people from the Inspection Department, Imperial City Department and others who were searching everywhere, and more of them were passers-by who had enjoyed themselves after visiting night markets, goulan and other entertainment places.
Qiu Heng saw several imperial soldiers stopping a man for questioning. The leader was Hu Si, who quietly retreated.
It happened that Hu Si turned around unintentionally and shouted: "Stop!"
Qiu Heng no longer hesitated and rushed toward an alley.
The alley is very long. After passing through it, we take a shortcut and we are not far from Yongqing Bo's Mansion.
The light figure flew in the darkness, like a magpie spreading its wings, leaving the pursuer far behind.
There was light coming from the front, illuminating the face of the young man standing tall and straight.
The imperial envoy Xue Han!
Qiu Heng finally felt nervous.
She had never fought against Xue Han, but she thought that she would definitely be a mediocre person if she could secure the position of Imperial City Envoy.
But he happened to be standing where she must pass, unable to avoid him.
Then we can only go head-to-head.
With the pursuers behind him, Qiu Heng did not hesitate and continued to charge forward.
Danger and crisis were commonplace in those troubled times. Her skills may not be top-notch, but she was as confident and calm as anyone.
Let her weigh the skill of Master Xue.
Xue Han didn't expect that the man being chased by his men not only didn't panic when he saw him blocking him in front, but also chose to take action.
Such courage.
Xue Han drew his knife and slashed at the masked man.
What was wrapped around the long knife in his hand was a soft sword.
The soft sword was like a snake, deftly neutralizing the power of the long knife, and then flexibly released it to stab him in the face.
Xue Han had to lean back to avoid it.
In just a few moments, the two exchanged several moves, and it was hard to tell who was better.
The pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer.
Qiu Heng knew that he could no longer be entangled, so he gritted his teeth and kicked off the wall with both feet, using the counter force to stab at an extremely tricky angle.
Xue Han flexibly avoided it, and severe pain came from his back shoulder.
He avoided the soft sword, but was struck by the opponent's palm on a wound that had not yet healed - the injury was caused by a sharp branch standing up in the grass when he rescued the Akiroku girl from Hosaku.
Even a tough person cannot resist the body's instinctive reaction.
Taking advantage of the moment when Xue Han slowed down slightly due to the pain, Qiu Heng turned over in mid-air, landed on the ground, and ran away.
Xue Han knew that he couldn't catch up, and his eyes were like cold stars, staring at the figure that was getting further and further away.
"Sir, did he run away?" Hu Si and his men chased him, panting.
"Run away." Xue Han said calmly, covering his shoulders.
Hu Si took a closer look and his face changed drastically: "Sir, you are bleeding! Ah, it's still the same place!"
"The wound is just a split, not serious." Xue Han glanced at the direction where the masked man disappeared, then turned and walked back.
Hu Si chased aside and muttered: "Why are the injuries in the same place? It hurts so much to add an injury to the injury! My lord, your shoulder may be in bad luck. Why don't you go to the temple to pay homage to it?" < br>
Xue Han's mouth twitched sharply.
I have only heard that miscarriage is bad for people, but I have never heard of it being bad for just one shoulder.
"Sir, you should fully recover from your injuries before you come out. There are many things to be caught, and our Imperial City Division is not the only one responsible for the gangsters who assassinated high-ranking officials..."
There is no need to take it too seriously. Neither Han Wu nor Yuan Chenghai are good people. They will die if they die.
Of course, it was difficult for Hu Si to say this, but he believed that the adults had a clear understanding with him.
Xue Han glanced at his nonstop mouthing subordinate and said concisely: "Shut up."
Back at the government office, Xue Han took out the medicine for golden sores and stared at it for a moment before handing it to Hu Si: "Help me put some medicine on it."
"Hey, okay." Hu Si looked at the porcelain bottle containing the medicine, "Hey, Renxintang's best golden sore medicine is not cheap... Come to think of it, it's Hong——Miss Qiu Liu asked her nanny to give it Sent by you.”
The red bean cake seemed to have some foresight, and the young man used it quickly.
It’s too fast, the previous injury has not healed at all...
"Use sparingly -" The pain from the powder being sprinkled on the wound made the young man's voice somewhat hoarse. He added, "Expensive." Hu Si raised the corners of his mouth and smiled meaningfully.
I don’t know if adults really think it’s expensive or are reluctant to use it.
"My lord."
"Say."
"I heard that red beans replenish blood. Why don't you go and tell Miss Qiuliu that you are injured again and ask for some red bean cake?"
"Hu Si."
"Hey."
"Don't make fun of other girls' reputations."
"Yes." Hu Si put away his playful smile and shook his head quietly.
It was obviously Miss Qiu Liu who was sending red bean cakes and gold sore medicine, so she might have admired them more. The same goes for adults. I didn’t eat red bean cakes before, but now I still like them.
Isn't this mutual love? But adults are tough-mouthed.

"Over at Yuan House, please keep an eye on me these days..." Xue Han got down to business.
At this time, Qiu Heng had returned to Lengxiangju.
"The girl is back." Fangzhou came up to greet her.
Qiu Heng said while taking off his clothes: "How many times have I told you, don't wait for me, go to bed early."
"I can't sleep, but I can get up late anyway -" Fangzhou paused, then his expression changed, "Girl, are you injured?"
Qiu Heng opened his hand to look at the blood on his palm, and said in an incomprehensible tone: "It's not injured, it's someone else's blood. Fangzhou, go prepare some hot water, I'll take a bath."
Behind the screen, the girl, who had taken off all her clothes, sat in a wooden barrel half as tall as a person, surrounded by hot water of a suitable temperature.
Fatigue swept away along with the dust, Qiu Heng raised his hand and stared at the palm in trance.
There was no trace of blood on the white palm.
She did it on purpose.
She knew that Xue Han's wound had not healed, which was his shortcoming, so she deliberately hit there to give herself a chance to escape.
And the result was just as she expected.
Qiu Heng picked up a handful of water with both hands and lifted it to his shoulders.
The girl's shoulders are white and flawless.
Xue Han's shoulder injury was sustained while trying to save her, and today she sprinkled a pinch of salt into his wound.
She is really not human.
Qiu Heng sighed and smiled helplessly.
What should I do? Don't hurt people when necessary. It's not impossible to kill people.
After bathing, Qiu Heng put on a snow-white undergarment, fell down on the bed, and fell asleep.
The long, seemingly endless alley, with the rapid footsteps of the pursuers behind him, finally made it to the entrance of the alley, where the silent young man stood.
He waited until she got close and struck with the knife without hesitation.
She did not hesitate to draw out the soft sword wrapped around her waist and stabbed it.
The sword went straight into the young man's heart.
Blood splattered, and he opened his eyes wide with disbelief, looking at her unblinkingly.
"Ah Heng——"
Qiu Heng sat up suddenly, gasping for air.
In the hot summer, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back, and her heart beat rapidly.
In the dream, she killed Xue Han.
She was wrong. She would feel uncomfortable killing the boy who had shown kindness to her repeatedly.
She didn't want to feel this kind of pain, but with what she had to do, she would have to deal with the Imperial City Division in the future.
Be more careful and don't let him find out who she is.
