"Master Zhan! Are you alright!" Seeing that Zhan Zhao was injured trying to save himself, Jia Tongwen was extremely annoyed. "I'm the one who dragged you down."

"No problem, it's just a minor injury." Zhan Zhao glanced at his left arm that was slowly oozing blood, raised his head and said, "Brother Jia is worrying too much, Zhan Zhao will definitely escort you to Kaifeng Mansion safely." Shaking the reins, he accelerated his riding speed.

"..." Jia Tongwen didn't speak any more, and just rode his horse to follow the only figure beside him that he could rely on.

After another section of the road, there are already dense bushes on both sides, which is extraordinarily deep under the cover of night.

"Master Zhan, they didn't come after us, let's stop and treat the wound." Jia Yinyin felt that the body around her was getting weaker.

"Alright." Zhan Zhao didn't refuse, Xu was really tired.

The two tied up their horses and built a bonfire.

Using the light of the fire, Zhan Zhao checked the wound, the arrowhead scratched the bone and penetrated through the arm, but fortunately no tendons were injured.He raised his left arm with great effort, cutting off the arrow tail and the blackened arrowhead.He walked in a hurry and didn't bring wound medicine on him, so he had to tear his clothes into strips, cross them around the wound on his left arm to fix the arrow shafts exposed at the front and back of his arms, and avoid dislocation bleeding caused by physical activities affecting the arrow shafts.Then, with his blood-stained right hand, he swiftly searched for the blood veins near the wound, and pressed it tightly with the torn cloth strips.He has been leaning firmly against the tree trunk, waiting expressionlessly for the hemostasis to end.

Jia Tongwen on the side just sat with his knees hugged, watching everything in front of him quietly, maybe he was stunned, and it took him a long time to recover.He lightly touched Zhan Zhao's side, tightened the root of Zhan Zhao's left arm with the torn cloth, and then hung the arm up to slow down the speed of bleeding.

"Thank you." Zhan Zhao expressed his thanks with a smile.

Jia Tongwen nodded and sat back down again.After a long time, he bowed his head, as if he had made up his mind: "Master Zhan...I..."

Zhan Zhao asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, they didn't hurt you, did they?" He casually added some dead branches to the fire.

"No... not hurt... When I was entangled with the man in black just now, I touched this on his body... I think this may prove the identity of the murderer." He fumbled in his sleeve, and handed a waist card to the exhibition hall. In front of Zhao.For a person in his line of work, no matter how bad his skills were, this petty theft technique was nothing to worry about.

"This is..." Zhan Zhao looked at Jia Tongwen in surprise, took the waist badge, and looked at the pattern on it repeatedly against the light.

"That...Master Zhan, you...actually don't need to save me..." Jia Tongwen didn't show any expression on his drooping face, as he plucked the weeds aside with his index finger and thumb.

Zhan Zhao's gaze still stayed on the waist badge in his hand. "Why?"

With a little force in his hands, he pulled up the pinch of weeds by the roots. "I am doomed to die..."

"Born in the world, will end up in the dust, just live well." Zhan Zhao rubbed his waist badge and pursed his lips with a smile.

"No... I didn't mean that, I mean, I won't live long, this life is not worth your risk." Jia raised his head, his eyes that were shining with fire were fixed on Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao raised his head, straightened his body, and asked Jia, "What do you mean?"

"My family is cursed, and it is doomed to die..." He threw the weeds and hugged his knees again. "My father went out and touched a military talisman of unknown age, and that's when the curse began. Within a few months, relatives in the clan died one after another due to various reasons. My father passed away, and I was the only one left in the Jia family's blood. In this way, My death is not far away." Speaking of this, he choked up a little. "Once my father dies, the family business will be disbanded. I just want to expose the murderer and avenge my father while I am still alive. At present, all these have been realized, and I am just a burden now."

"No, it hasn't happened yet, the case is still under investigation, the murderer hasn't been brought to justice, and your father hasn't been vindicated yet." Zhan Zhao raised his hand and threw the badge back to Jia Tongwen, and said in a gentle voice, "It's better for you to hand it over to Bao himself." Your Excellency."

Jia Tongwen stood up suddenly, holding the badge that flew over in his trembling hands: "Master Zhan, I will kill you sooner or later!"

"Shut up!" Zhan Zhao suddenly raised his hand to stop it, and immediately raised his sword, listening carefully to the movement around him. "They're coming after them."

Jia Tongwen is a cowardly bastard...can really drag the dead...
