Chapter 722 Poisoning

After one night, Li Dalang and the Bad Guys returned to the Du family army's encampment in this area.

Li Dalang and Twenty-Nine stood in front of the bed, watching the doctor who had treated their injuries earlier take the pulses of the two people on the bed.

Yes, there are two people, one big and one small.

Why are there two people?

One of them was the short man in white with loose hair and a feminine appearance; the other was also somewhat expected.

The other person was a spy from the Bad Guys who caught the fleeing boat on it.

Coincidentally, the man in white with black hair on the small boat was also fast asleep.

When Captain Zheng's men boarded the warship, they almost got into a fight with Li Dalang and his men. Fortunately, Captain Zheng arrived in time; otherwise, at worst, everyone on the scene might have bled, and at worst, someone could have died.

At that time, the conflict between the Du family army and the Bad Guys and the Shi family army will be huge.

Commander Zheng immediately punished the soldier who was about to attack. He looked at the young man hidden behind Twenty-Nine and said to Twenty-Nine, "Since the Bad People found this foreigner before us, the credit naturally belongs to you."

We, the Du family army, are not the kind of people who would steal credit, so you can all rest assured!

Before Captain Zheng could finish speaking, two more masked men suddenly burst into the cabin.

Just as Captain Zheng's men were about to make their move, Twenty-Nine shouted, "Wait!"

Only then did everyone realize that the two masked men were dressed exactly the same as the three of them, except for their weapons. They all had half their faces covered with black cloth, only revealing their eyes, and were dressed in black night clothes.

"Dafu! Goudan!"

A soldier from Du's army shouted from outside the cabin door, "He's not dead, he's just passed out, what are you yelling about!"

A masked man in black, carrying a white-clad, black-haired person on his back, walked in and, hearing the commotion of the soldiers outside, shouted out.

Looking at the situation, Li Dalang felt a headache coming on, but also found it somewhat amusing.

The current situation is indeed somewhat comical.

The man in black walked step by step toward Twenty-Nine. When he got close, Twenty-Nine pulled out the face of the man in white on his back and looked at him. Li Dalang also glanced at him from the side.

Good heavens, this man in white also looks like a pale-faced man from the Western Regions with deep-set eyes.

Twenty-nine gave the man in black a questioning look, and the man in black, who was carrying the man in white, nodded.

Thus, Li Dalang was certain that the person intercepted by the Bad Guys on the small boat was this unconscious foreigner, also dressed in white with black hair.

"This is getting interesting. One is big, the other is small. Which one is the real mastermind?"

Or are both of them?

Or maybe none of these are true?

"Are both the big one and the small one stand-ins sent out by the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Thinking this to himself, Li Dalang kept looking back and forth at the two white-clad figures, one big and one small.

Captain Zheng wasn't stupid. Seeing the situation, he could only say, "Thank you for your help, brothers of the Bad Guys."

Regardless, let's go back to our base first and see what's going on with these two.

"Wouldn't it be better to ask them questions once they're awake?"

Seeing that Captain Zheng had no intention of taking the person, the atmosphere on the Bad Guys' side finally eased a bit.

On the way back to Du Family Army's camp by boat, Twenty-Nine said to Li Dalang with genuine sincerity, "Brother Li, we owe it all to you to find this little dwarf, otherwise we would have missed him."

Who knows, after we leave, someone might come to the warship and pull him out.

Don't worry, I will definitely speak well of Brother Li's contributions to the higher-ups, and I will never forget you!

At this moment, Li Dalang watched as the doctor withdrew his hand from taking his pulse and turned around. The doctor remained very calm in the face of the dozen or so pairs of eyes looking at him in the room.

"Doctor, how is it?"

When will they wake up?

The physician first bowed to Captain Zheng, who was a little further away, and then bowed to Li Dalang and Twenty-Nine, who were right in front of him, saying, "I don't know."

Based on their pulse diagnosis, there was nothing wrong with either of them. I also examined them carefully and found no external injuries on either of them.

Therefore, it seems there's only one possibility.

What is it?

"Presumably, they took some kind of drug before you found them, a drug that can cause people to fall asleep."

My medical skills are limited, so this is all I can see.

If you want the person to wake up, you either have to wait, maybe two or three days? Or maybe three to five days.

Otherwise, you should consult other highly skilled doctors to see what the best course of action is.”

The crowd naturally didn't want to make things difficult for the doctor Du Jiajun had invited. Besides, the doctor had clearly stated that he truly had no other choice.

This has made things very difficult. It's unclear whether the mastermind behind this has been found or not, and how will they explain this to their superiors?

Lieutenant Zheng said, "I will report this matter to my general. As for what to do next, it will be up to the general to decide."

After Du Jiajun's men left, only Li Dalang and his group and the Bad Guys remained in the house.

Li Dalang stood by the bed, looking at the two people, one big and one small, who were fast asleep with their eyes closed, lost in thought.

"This is interesting. I thought I had made a great contribution."

In the end, it was just these two Sleeping Beauties.

Twenty-nine, sitting at the round table with a teacup in hand, said this. Li Dalang turned around, walked to the round table, and sat down in front of Twenty-nine.

"The doctor wouldn't lie. These two must have eaten something beforehand to stay in a comatose state."

I think it's not medicine, but some kind of poison.

"They might have deliberately poisoned them behind the scenes before letting them escape for us to catch."

"Hey?"

"What you said, if you think about it carefully, makes perfect sense!"

Li Dalang poured himself a cup of tea, and looking at the brown tea in the cup, he slowly said, "However, although these two are important, they are not so important as to negate the overall situation."

Based on what we know now, it all depends on how the higher-ups decide to handle things.

These two are simply about who the mastermind is. The demons and monsters in the Tang Dynasty who are colluding with him have been roughly investigated.

What happened afterward had nothing to do with us.

Li Dalang's words make perfect sense. These two people are important, but not important enough to affect the overall situation.

So, around midnight, with a "whoosh," the seventh guard on night watch jumped up from his chair, took two steps to the window, and was about to jump out to chase after the arrow when the ever-vigilant Li Dalang noticed the arrow that had been shot out of the window and landed on the ground.

"No need to chase after them."

"Boss?"

Li Dalang picked up the arrow from the ground, made sure it wasn't poisoned, and then unwrapped the paper roll attached to it.

Gao Haiping blew on the tinderbox, and by that light, Li Dalang read the words on the scroll and then lit it.
