Chapter 1705 Awaiting Our Good News

He Er immediately followed, but he didn't expect that his cousin, who was just feeling cold and uncomfortable yesterday, had a high fever today.

When he reached out to hug him just now, he felt that the heat emanating from his body was astonishing.

Shu Yu reached out and touched the child's forehead; it was indeed very hot.

When Meng Yunzheng came this time, he carried mostly poisons and sedatives—medicines he intended to use as weapons. In addition, he also carried basic medicines for treating internal and external injuries and reducing fever.

There weren't many, but the effects were quite strong. He Er's cousin is too young; it's uncertain whether there will be any problems if he takes it.

Shu Yu explained it to him again, and He Er gritted his teeth and said, "Eat it, it's better than just letting it burn like this."

These days, fever can kill you, and even if you don't die, prolonged fever can make you mentally impaired.

Shu Yu then handed the fever-reducing medicine to He Er, who took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and fed it to him.

The outcome remains to be seen; we'll have to wait and see.

After his cousin took his medicine, He Er turned to Uncle Yang and the others. "I'm not very skilled, so I'll stay here to take care of my cousin. Uncle Yang, Young Master Meng and Lord Lu are all capable people, so you can't go wrong by listening to them."

Mr. Yang nodded. "Wait for our good news."

After he finished speaking, he paused, then said with some difficulty, "Although we have practiced martial arts, we don't have any weapons. Even if we find sticks, we will still be at a disadvantage against those who wield swords and knives."

Meng Yunzheng: "Don't worry about that. Our people have already gone to find weapons, and she'll be here in a bit."

No sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps and clattering sounds came from outside.

Master Yang and the others immediately went on alert and quickly turned their heads to look in the direction of the door.

Meng Yunzheng recognized Xia Yi's footsteps and took a few steps forward. His eyes lit up when he saw the weapon on her back. "Found it?"

"Yes, I found quite a few, but I only have two hands, so I can't take much. You can use these for now. I've hidden the rest in a small hut, and I'll go get them later."

After she finished speaking, she moved the strip of cloth on her back to the front, and a bundle of swords and spears appeared in front of everyone.

Master Yang and the others were overjoyed and quickly called out to everyone, "Quick, quick, come and get the right weapons."

Some of these swords still had bloodstains on them, presumably left behind by the people from the black market when they were dealing with wild beasts.

The weapons weren't very good; some blades even had chips, but there was nothing we could do. Given the limited resources, it was better than nothing.

Master Yang took the spear and said to Meng Yunzheng with delight, "Young Master Meng is so thoughtful, he even prepared the weapon."

Meng Yunzheng let them get used to their surroundings for a while, and then walked forward with Shu Yu.

After passing the cell where the young masters were imprisoned, you will arrive at the cell where the people in the dueling arena are imprisoned.

They had heard the commotion earlier. Although Meng Yunzheng and the others spoke in low voices, the two cells were quite close together.

What's more, they made such a big fuss, not only leaving their cells but also taking weapons.

The people in these two cells had all fought against wild beasts. Regardless of their skill level, those who were still alive were quick-witted and soon realized what was happening.

They all crowded around the door to listen to the sounds, and managed to hear some of them.

Upon seeing Meng Yunzheng and his companion approach, they all appeared wary, yet their eyes gleamed with anticipation.

Meng Yunzheng stood in front of the door, his gaze sweeping over the faces of these people one by one.
