Chapter 343 An acquaintance came

Lu Wanyin followed Xie Jingci out.

As soon as the door opened, everyone outside was stunned.

Xuan Wu stretched his neck to look inside: "That's not right. I just checked an incense stick ago and there was no one in the yard."

Xuan Qi raised his hand and pulled Xuan Wu to the back: "Go away, Master, Master Ji is here."

As soon as Lu Wanyin went out, she heard this name.

Not the slightest impression.

Could it be that he was sent from the capital to investigate the situation?

That's not right. If it was that kind of person, Xuan would most likely call him "lackey" instead of politely calling him Lord Ji.

Lu Wanyin looked at Xie Jingci.

Sure enough, he was silent for a moment before he said a name: "Ji Mingtao"

"yes."

Xuan Qi nodded in agreement and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Last night, when my subordinates were celebrating, we received a letter from down the mountain.

For unknown reasons, Lord Ji was seriously injured and fled to Zizai City to seek medical treatment. The guards in the city recognized him and immediately sent a message up the mountain.

When we entered the city last night, Lord Ji had already lost consciousness, and I don't know what his current condition is."

Ji Mingtao is one of the few border generals who has a close relationship with Xie Jingci.

He is a man of real ability.

In order to undermine Xie Jingci's prestige on the border, the emperor either found a reason to kill or found an opportunity to transfer those who were on good terms with him.

If Ji Mingtao has been able to persist until now, his life must not be going well.

Xie Jingci pondered for a moment: "Madam."

"Um."

Without him saying anything more, Lu Wanyin took Xie Jingci's hand and said, "Let's go."

The two figures disappeared in an instant.

In the clinic, in the ward.

Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci appeared out of nowhere.

The female doctor, who had just changed the medicine for the person in bed, turned around and saw Lu Wanyin and the others. She was stunned for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

She quickly greeted him and lowered her voice, "The patient is no longer seriously ill, but is very weak and needs to rest for a few days."

Lu Wanyin nodded, motioned her to leave, and walked to the bed herself.

She reached out to feel the man's pulse, her brow furrowed. "He looks like he's on his last legs. I can sense the aura of spring water from him. Even Jiu Ning couldn't do anything, so he had to use the spiritual spring water to save his life. How badly must he be injured?"

"As long as I survive."

After Lu Wanyin confirmed again that this person could survive, Xie Jingci finally let go of his worries.

He frowned and said coldly, "I don't know who did this."

There are only two possibilities for why Ji Mingtao would go to such a dangerous place like the wilderness to seek help instead of going there nearby.

Military doctors who have ulterior motives are no longer trustworthy.

The injuries were too severe and the military doctors were unable to help.

Ji Mingtao has been stationed at the border for many years and is not a person who fears death. There must be something strange going on here.

"Cough cough cough."

At this moment, the person on the bed suddenly coughed.

An abnormal redness appeared on the pale face.

Lu Wanyin quickly pushed Xie Jingci and said, "Quick, feed him some more spiritual spring water. He just recovered from his injuries, and his internal organs are very fragile. If he keeps coughing, I'm afraid he'll suffer internal injuries."

Xie Jingci followed his instructions, took the small bowl, and dripped water into his mouth little by little.

Ji Mingtao looked much more relaxed.

After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly opened his eyes.

Those weathered eyes began to show some confusion.

After regaining consciousness, he became extremely sharp: "You... No, you are, General Xie!"

Lu Wanyin was surprised.

She looked at Xie Jingci's face and confirmed that he was still wearing disguise.

Why does it seem like her disguise skills have failed recently? She keeps getting recognized by others.

Before Xie Jingci could answer, the man had already confirmed it.

A nine-foot-tall man instantly burst into tears: "It really is the general. I knew he would be fine. Even Hou Yuanji, that dandy prodigal son, could survive the earthquake, so how could the general die?"

"Speak slowly, there's no rush."

Seeing that he was getting more and more excited and about to get his internal organs agitated, Xie Jingci exerted a little force on his hands and helped him up: "Drink two more sips."

He was really afraid that Ji Mingtao would get excited and faint.

Ji Mingtao took two more sips of water and his complexion looked much better.

He looked at Xie Jingci, feeling happy and sad at the same time. "Alas, the countries along the border are becoming increasingly restless. When the general was here, they didn't dare to do anything. But as soon as the general left, all sorts of monsters and demons started to emerge."

Lu Wanyin quietly came out of the room, walked to the other side of the cubicle, and prepared medicine for Ji Mingtao.

The prescription was already written by Song Jiuning. Lu Wanyin read it and thought it was very good.

Since I had nothing to do, I might as well get the medicine.

Behind a curtain, Ji Mingtao was still complaining, "Since the general left, the military supervisors from the capital have become completely lawless. A bunch of people who don't understand war are giving orders.

Anyone who disobeys will be reported to the capital with exaggerated information. The military pay is also repeatedly delayed. The swords and armor that were delivered last time were actually rusty. This is simply sending the soldiers to their deaths.”

Lu Wanyin glanced at the curtain lightly.

She seemed to be able to see the unwillingness on Ji Mingtao's face through the thin curtain.

Xie Jingci was silent for a long time.

He knows all this.

The royal family was incompetent, and those who died were all innocent soldiers.

After Ji Mingtao finished speaking, Xie Jingci asked in a deep voice: "General, how could you be so seriously injured today? If you want to live, why don't you go to Dasheng, but run to this more dangerous wilderness?"

Ji Mingtao smiled bitterly: "This subordinate has been tricked."

Lu Wanyin pricked up her ears.

How is this said?

"Generals in the army who were dedicated to serving the people were basically transferred out for various reasons. Those who couldn't be transferred were dealt with using various despicable means."

They are risking their lives for their country, but the people they want to protect are determined to kill them.

Every word Ji Mingtao spoke seemed to be tinged with bitterness: "Yesterday at noon, a man suddenly arrived in the army. It is said that he is from the Wang family in the capital."

Lu Wanyin paused, put down her work, and listened attentively.

It's finally here

"That person seemed to have a good relationship with the military supervisor. As soon as he arrived at the army, he summoned all the generals and asked about the Savage Free City."

Ji Mingtao was furious. "The Shuiyu Kingdom has been experiencing a lot of unrest lately. I had no interest in participating in these trivial matters, so I took the initiative to resign, angering that group of people. It was then that I realized that my meals had been poisoned."

Xie Jingci's voice turned cold: "It's those people."

Ji Mingtao didn't refute, but laughed miserably: "I thought I would ask the military doctor to check my body in a few days, but no one mentioned this matter."

"Fortunately, God didn't let me die. When those people talked about Zizai City, they mentioned the city's Chinese medicine clinic, and the medical skills that were like those of a master doctor. The danger in the army is even greater, so it's better to come here and give it a try."

Obviously, he not only made the right bet, but also saved his life.

I also met Xie Jingci here.

The wilderness that was notorious and avoided by everyone turned out to be a place of hope.

The door of the ward was pushed open, and Song Jiuning walked in leisurely while chewing an apple.

When she saw Lu Wanyin here, her eyes lit up and she was about to speak.

Lu Wanyin quickly waved her hand and gestured to her to silence her: "Go out and talk."
