It wasn't aimed at anyone else, but Long Fei Ye. That was why Tang Li was so shocked that he felt unwell!
The Pear Blossom Teardrop Rain was a powerful weapon, but it couldn't escape the senses of an expert. Long Fei Ye and Ning Cheng both sensed the weapon approaching.
Because the weapon had come from Han Yunxi and Tang Li, Ning Cheng was certain that it was aimed at him. Although he didn't move, his eyes flashed with disdain and loathing.
He almost thought that Han Yunxi was different from Chu Qingge, but now it seemed that they were just so-so. What a fool.
No, Han Yunxi was even stupider than Chu Qingge!
She'd actually used force to stir up trouble in a place like this. And she'd even used a hidden weapon for a sneak attack. If she used it, then so be it. She'd even been discovered as soon as she drew her needle.
She's simply a joke!
As the needle drew closer, the scorn in Ning Cheng's eyes grew more and more intense. She wanted to hurt me with a mere needle? He held his wine cup in one hand as he continued his drinking contest with Long Fei Ye. His other hand rested on the table, preparing to catch the needle and thoroughly humiliate Long Fei Ye.
Of all the women he could find, he just had to keep an idiot like her by his side.
Ning Cheng waited, but as the needle drew closer, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Judging from the strength and direction of the needle, it wasn't aimed at him, but Long Feiye.
Had Han Yunxi gone mad? She wanted to sneak attack Long Fei Ye?
In a flash, Ning Cheng completely changed his view of Han Yunxi. Was Han Yunxi even stupider than he thought? Had she missed? Or was she more treacherous than he thought? Was she planning to betray Long Fei Ye? Besides that, Ning Cheng couldn't think of any other reason. He couldn't figure out this woman.
When it came to assassination weapons, especially those from the Tang Clan, Long Feiye was far more familiar with them than Ning Cheng. As soon as he sensed the needles flying at him from behind, he knew they were aimed at him. Moreover, judging by the strength and speed of the needles, he was certain that they'd come from the Pear Blossom Teardrop Rain hidden in Han Yunxi's sleeve.
What was this woman trying to do?
To be honest, Long Fei Ye couldn't figure it out. But he didn't hesitate for even a second. He sat there, unmoving.
The needle drew closer and sank into Long Fei Ye's back. It wasn't deep, but it didn't fall out of Long Fei Ye's back.
Long Feiye only needed to circulate his internal energy to force it out, but he didn't.
The position of the needle wasn't fatal, but only Han Yunxi knew what kind of poison was on the needle.
Long Fei Ye acted as if nothing had happened and continued to drink with Ning Cheng. He rarely drank, but it didn't mean that he didn't know how to drink. The wine cup didn't touch his lips. Every time he raised his cup, he poured the entire cup of wine into his mouth and finished it in one gulp.
It was undeniable that this man was so handsome even when he drank! He didn't care about the needle on his back. On the contrary, Ning Cheng's mind was on his back.
Long Fei Ye coldly narrowed his eyes and placed a row of wine cups on the table. He slowly poured the wine until it was full. Only then did he look at Ning Cheng. "Ten cups, how about it?"
These two men had no rules when it came to drinking. They were competing to see how much they could drink.
Although Ning Cheng was full of doubts, he still agreed. He wouldn't get drunk even if they drank a hundred cups, let alone ten. However, Long Fei Ye would definitely get drunk.
No matter how good Long Fei Ye's alcohol tolerance was, even if it was better than his, he would still get drunk! This was because all the wine here had a drug added to it called Distiller's's' Grains' Number 7. As long as a single drop was added into a large jar of wine, the alcohol content of the entire jar would be doubled.
It had to be known that this wine was strong. An average drinker would get drunk after one cup. Even the best drinker wouldn't be able to last more than ten cups. And now, he and Long Fei Ye had each drunk fifteen cups.
He had taken the antidote beforehand and was waiting for Long Feiye's alcohol to kick in and turn him into a drunken mess.
"Ten cups?" Ning Cheng was a bit incredulous. "It seems that Your Highness Duke of Qin has a good tolerance."
Long Fei Ye was very straightforward. He didn't wait for Ning Cheng to reply, but poured cup after cup into his mouth. If Ning Cheng didn't follow, he'd lose.
If Ning Cheng followed, the first one to get drunk would be the loser.
Naturally, Ning Cheng wanted to follow, so he didn't waste words and poured himself ten full cups. Just like Long Fei Ye, he downed cup after cup in one gulp.
Their drinking style left Chu Yunyi and General Chu speechless. Meanwhile, behind Long Fei Ye, Tang Li was still stroking his chin, trying to figure out what that needle on Long Fei Ye's back was all about. He wasn't worried about Long Fei Ye's tolerance at all. With Long Fei Ye's normal tolerance, even ten jugs of such strong alcohol wouldn't be a problem, much less a trifling 20 cups.
As for Han Yunxi, she'd never seen Long Fei Ye drink before, so she wasn't sure how much he could drink. Still, she wasn't worried about Long Fei Ye. She was carefully changing the needles on Gu Beiyue's back, her eyes hooded and serious. No one dared to disturb her.
Very soon, Long Fei Ye and Ning Cheng had both downed their ten cups of wine. Long Fei Ye sat upright with an unchanging expression, cold and noble. He didn't look like someone who'd drunk at all. Ning Cheng looked the same as usual, but the victor was still undecided.
Still, Ning Cheng couldn't understand. Why wasn't Long Fei Ye drunk yet?
No matter who drank strong alcohol with Distiller's Grain # 7, they'd be dead drunk within 20 cups. Long Fei Ye had already downed 25 cups, so why wasn't he affected at all?
Why?
While Ning Cheng was still trying to figure it out, Long Feiye poured another round of wine into the cups in front of him. Again, there were ten cups.
A complicated look flitted past Ning Cheng's eyes. He didn't follow immediately, but the retainer by his side couldn't help but cough lightly. He was reminding Ning Cheng that the antidote he'd taken could only block off 25 cups of wine at most. If he drank any more, he'd run out of antidote for Distiller's Grain # 7.
Based on the doubled alcohol content, he could drink five more cups at most. Anything more than that and he'd be dead drunk.
"You're not following?" Long Fei Ye raised his eyebrows and asked.
Ning Cheng's face was cold and he didn't say anything, but he still began to pour wine. After the cups were full, the two of them began to drink one cup after another. However, Ning Cheng suspected the hidden needle on Long Fei Ye's back.
At this time, Han Yunxi had already finished a course of acupuncture for Gu Beiyue. She took back all the gold needles and was about to get up. Who knew that Lil Thing would suddenly jump onto Gu Beiyue's leg and tear off a piece of cloth, revealing Gu Beiyue's injured knee.
Seeing this, Han Yunxi was shocked. She hurriedly squatted down to examine it. She carefully tore the cloth and when she saw the wound, she sucked in a breath of cold air.
This wound was caused by the Chu Clan's arrow. It injured the tendon, which was also commonly known as the tendon. Han Yunxi hurriedly examined the wound in detail. She found that the wound had been there for a long time and the recovery wasn't optimistic. Firstly, it was because the wound was caused by the Chu Clan's arrow and it wasn't treated in time. Secondly, it was because the wound hadn't healed before it stopped using medicine. Thirdly, it was related to Gu Beiyue's physical condition. His body's foundation wasn't good and he couldn't withstand such a serious injury.
The more Han Yunxi looked, the angrier and more anxious she became. Gu Beiyue's injury couldn't be delayed. Even if the tendon wasn't injured, it couldn't be delayed, let alone now that it was accompanied by a torn tendon.
If it was caused by the arrow, it wouldn't cause a tear. She was afraid that the arrow was shot at a tricky angle and hit the tendon. Later, when the sword was pulled out, it inevitably caused a tear.
If it wasn't for someone supporting him, Gu Beiyue probably wouldn't be able to stand or walk! In a sense, Gu Beiyue's leg was now crippled! She wasn't sure if it could be cured, but no matter what, she had to fight for time. The sooner the treatment was treated, the more hope there would be, and the fewer side effects there would be!
At this time, Lil Thing supported Gu Beiyue's right shoulder and squeaked. Han Yunxi's heart unconsciously thumped. She knew that Lil Thing had found the wound again.
She didn't care about the propriety between men and women. She hurriedly took out a small pair of scissors and cut off the cloth on Gu Beiyue's shoulder. Who knew that this wound was even more serious than the one on his calf! This was a wound that went through his shoulder blade. There were wounds on both the front and back of Gu Beiyue's shoulder.
Similar to the wound on his calf, the recovery of Gu Beiyue's shoulder blade wasn't very optimistic. With such a penetrating wound, who knew how much blood had been lost? Now that the bleeding had stopped and the wound was showing signs of healing, the scar on the bone was permanent and couldn't be healed. Even if Gu Beiyue's wound healed, it would still hurt from time to time for a long time to come.
A wound to the bone would never heal.
Besides the Tang Clan's assassination weapons, only the Driving Arrow Arts of the Chu Clan had such power! The Chu Clan, what a Chu Clan!
Han Yunxi's entire being grew gloomy as a murderous aura emanated from her body.
She strode into the pavilion and glared Icily at Chu Yunyi and General Chu as she spoke to Long Fei Ye. "We have to go back immediately. Gu Beiyue's been seriously injured by the Chu Clan's arrows. We can't afford to delay!"
Gu Beiyue wasn't bleeding as much as Gu had last time and needed to stop the bleeding. His shoulder injury was already in such a state, so there was no need to rush the treatment.
But!
Gu Beiyue's calf injury had already been delayed for too long. They couldn't afford to delay any longer. Han Yunxi wasn't even sure if Gu Beiyue could still walk normally. Her only thought was to save him as soon as possible and save as much as possible.
After all, even if they left Fenglin Prefecture, she couldn't treat him immediately because she didn't know how. She had to contact Medical City's Third Elder Shen right away. Judging from Gu Beiyue's injuries and body condition, ordinary doctors wouldn't be able to treat him. Only a medical sage like Shen Jueming had the skills to prescribe a complete treatment plan for Gu Beiyue.
All she could do was seize the time to find medicine for Gu Beiyue's calf and prevent it from worsening.
Han Yunxi came to urge them, but Long Fei Ye didn't even have a chance to speak before Ning Cheng laughed coldly and said, "When men drink, women stand aside."
Unfortunately, Han Yunxi didn't even spare him a glance. She completely ignored him.
Ning Cheng actually felt a little awkward. He was about to speak when Long Fei Ye stood up and said, "Let's stop here for today. We'll fight another day."
After he finished speaking, he held Han Yunxi's hand and was about to leave. Ning Cheng put down his wine cup and stood up as well. "Duke of Qin, are you a sore loser?"
"If we continue fighting, are you sure this prince will lose?" Long Fei Ye countered with a question.
Ning Cheng actually replied without hesitation, "I'm sure!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Yunxi suddenly picked up the wine cup on the table and splashed it on Ning Cheng's face! In that instant, the entire place fell silent. Everything was still, as if time had stopped. Only the wine on Ning Cheng's face dripped down along his well-defined features …
