Chapter 492: The Events in Dayu City
After walking for only a few days, with Li Changxiao by her side, Wang Ruyi gradually got better both mentally and physically, but she couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed about it.
Now she can't take care of herself at all. She is covered in a black robe and needs to be fed most of the time. The feeling is mixed with joy and happiness. It's hard to describe it in words.
The vocal cords haven't recovered yet. Li Changxiao thought about it and decided to treat it. Because he was worried about the hidden fruit under his clothes, he didn't use his spiritual energy. It happened that he had some knowledge of mortal medicine.
So he went up the mountain to collect the herbs, boiled them on the fire according to a certain proportion, and after four or five processes, made a plaster that can be applied to the throat to heal the throat injury.
To ensure the medicinal properties, Li Changxiao tasted it twice. It was not salty or light, but had a strong herbal flavor. Surprisingly, it was not bad.
The medicinal properties were also good. The throat of a mortal can be cured by applying this plaster.
Li Changxiao suddenly had an idea that he might be able to imitate this process and create a new food.
There was a hole at the collar of the body-covering robe. Li Changxiao put the plaster through the hole and applied it to Wang Ruyi's throat. Feeling the coolness, Wang Ruyi's eyebrows relaxed and felt very comfortable.
The coolness of the medicine penetrated the skin and flowed into the flesh and blood, causing a faint numbness. The throat felt like being tickled by a feather and had a slight itching feeling.
The plaster really worked. After another three or two days, one morning, Wang Ruyi spoke. Her voice was no longer hoarse like sandpaper, but crisp like a yellow oriole, melodious and beautiful.
Li Changxiao greeted her with a smile, took out the plaster and threw it on the ground.
The ability to speak made Wang Ruyi, who was dressed in white, have thousands of words to say, but she didn't know how to say them. After looking at each other for a long time, she wanted to say something but stopped. Later, her face turned red with shame and she just turned away.
There were more and more bandits in the evil mountains, and they were mixed with good and bad people. After walking here for a long time, you would always encounter a few groups, but they were just a mob. Li Changxiao took a branch and waved it in two or three strokes, and they were all solved.
Wang Ruyi stared with his eyes shining. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu killed people, bloody and cruel, and they especially loved to mutilate people's limbs and then put an end to them.
Li Changxiao was different. He killed people easily and freely, with poetic meaning. He killed one person in one step, simple and neat, without blood splashing and bloody scenes.
…
Because of Wang Ruyi's consideration, the speed of the group was not fast, even slow, but Li Changxiao was not in a hurry at all.
Although saving Wang Ruyi was out of his heart, how could he not see that Wang Ruyi was a key node. He walked slowly along the way, but Ji Beiming and others should be anxious.
Another bandit blocked the road. Li Changxiao went straight to the mountain stronghold and wiped it out. When he searched for items, he didn't like the gold, silver, treasures, cloth and silk, but he had a special liking for a horse.
He put all the gold, silver, treasures, cloth and silk into a bag, tied it to the saddle, and led the horse down the mountain. Wang Ruyi was placed under a big tree because of her inconvenience.
Seeing Li Changxiao from a distance, she was happy and ran towards him. When she came in front of him, she pretended to fall down and fell into his arms. Her face was trembling with shame, but her eyes were cunning.
Li Changxiao was very helpless. Seeing Wang Ruyi like this, he was hesitant to speak. How could he not see it? But he also knew that emotional things were not like hands and feet, which could be controlled at will.

At this moment...even if he tried to persuade her with words, it would be useless. Instead, it would hurt the man's heart. He had all kinds of thoughts and finally sighed.
Before this, Li Changxiao had attacked several mountain strongholds, but he had never seen horses. Seeing horses in this mountain stronghold meant that there might be a city nearby. However, even if there was a city in that poor and bad place, it would probably be in chaos.
It might be difficult to find the person of Tianji Dao, but no matter what, it would not be wrong to go to that city first.
Li Changxiao carried Wang Ruyi onto the horse and led the horse. Wang Ruyi bit her lip lightly, feeling disappointed, but it was a good thing that she didn't have to tire her legs for the rest of the journey.
Because her vocal cords recovered, the two of them communicated more and more. Li Changxiao first asked her about the affairs in the court. Wang Ruyi did not hide it and said frankly that she was the empress of Dayu.
When revealing her identity, Wang Ruyi laughed at herself and asked Li Changxiao if it was the first time she saw such an embarrassed emperor.
Li Changxiao pondered for a moment and nodded seriously. It was really the first time he saw it.
Wang Ruyi was secretly ashamed and annoyed. Shouldn't she say something to comfort her? Why did she admit it?
During the conversation, Li Changxiao learned the general situation.
Wang Ruyi's experience was indeed caused by Xiaozhen and his group. Wang Ruyi was originally the emperor of Dayu. He controlled the government and worked diligently. He also achieved results. At least he could hear a few good words from the people. This was the best.
However, one night, after she finished handling the government and undressed to sleep, she found two more figures beside the bed. She was furious and thought someone was going to assassinate her. However, before she could speak, she fell asleep.
Later, she was locked up in a small courtyard for about two or three days. When she saw Xiaozhen again, she was wearing her own face and brought the torture instrument of stripping her name.
It was also from that moment that she fell into the boundless hell. Her limbs were pressed by the eunuchs, her arms were twisted behind her, and the rope of sin was wrapped around her. When she could not move, she took out the mud and smeared it on her face layer by layer.
During the whole process, no matter how she resisted, it was useless. In the end, she took out the robe and spent three days and three nights to put it on completely. Then the next day, she was exiled and stripped of her name. She left Dayu City and embarked on a long and arduous journey.
Thinking of this, Wang Ruyi is still afraid. When she talked about it, her eyes were wet again. She couldn't imagine how bleak the ending of her life would be if she hadn't met Li Changxiao.
I don’t know if it was because she cried too much or something else, Wang Ruyi fell off the horse, and Li Changxiao caught her helplessly.
This woman, pitiful and pitiful, is really not a good person, and she is scheming. Seeing Li Changxiao catch her, she made a request.
She wanted to walk with Li Changxiao, but she was really afraid of heights.
After saying that, she burst into tears again and looked at Li Changxiao pitifully.
She said walking, but actually meant riding a horse. Li Changxiao had a slight headache and was hesitant to speak, but finally agreed.
He helped Wang Ruyi back on the horse, and sat on it himself, holding the reins and walking slowly.
Wang Ruyi had never been so peaceful before, and she snored unconsciously. Li Changxiao looked at the road ahead, not knowing whether this was right or wrong.
