When Qi Chengjun was rescued by the guards, he had already fainted.

The doctor was about to pull out the arrow, but Tianyi suddenly stopped him: "Doctor."

Tianyi handed over the arrow that had fallen on the street earlier: "Doctor, the arrowhead has a barb on it, so you can't just pull it out."

If you pull it out directly, a piece of flesh will definitely be pulled off Lord Qi's body!

The doctor, still shaken, whispered, "Has the person who fired the arrow been caught?"

Tianyi shook his head slightly.

At the time of the incident, the guards protecting Lord Qi were either injured or had already sacrificed their lives.

In addition, with people in a state of panic at the time, who could possibly notice which direction the arrow was shot from?

"After the situation was brought under control, I led the constables to investigate several nearby shops, but we found nothing."

The arrow was clearly aimed at Lord Qi, but they had no other clues besides it.

Tianyi could even imagine that the King of Chu was quietly watching all of this from some corner, secretly laughing at their pitiful helplessness, knowing full well that it was him but having no evidence.

This answer seemed to be of no surprise to the doctor. He calmly took Lord Qi's pulse and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the arrow was not poisoned: "The fact that the arrow is not poisoned is the best news. As for the others, I need to prepare some medicine."

If the arrow has a barb, you can't pull it out by force. You have to carefully cut open the flesh of the wound little by little to pull out the arrow, and then use medicine to help the wound heal little by little.

The danger involved necessitates the use of anesthetic powder.

As the doctor walked out, his mind was filled with the medicinal herbs he needed.

Tianyi chased after him: "Doctor, Lord Qi's injuries are important, but the injuries of the people in the city are equally important."

They were all injured because of Lord Qi. Even if they were disobedient, even if Tianyi was furious that they deserved it, they couldn't just ignore it!

Tianyi and the many guards looked at the doctor with eyes full of sorrow and helplessness.

The doctor sighed, "They've all been arranged to stay in clinics in the city, but with over a hundred injured people, there aren't enough doctors in the city."

Most importantly, not every doctor in the city is skilled in treating sprains and bruises.

The doctor didn't say, but Tianyi and the others roughly knew.

Tianyi turned to one of the guards and said, "Take some silver and quickly go to another prefecture to find a doctor specializing in sprains, bruises, and bone setting to come and help..."

"Tianyi!" the doctor hurriedly interrupted, "Do you know what you're saying? Going to another prefecture to fetch a doctor now is tantamount to telling the King of Chu that such a serious stampede has occurred under the jurisdiction of Lord Qi!"

"The King of Chu is just looking for an opportunity to deal with Lord Qi, and you..."

Tianyi looked at the doctor in silence, then pointed to the arrow in Lord Qi's shoulder: "Why don't you tell me, doctor, how did you get this hidden arrow in your body?"

The enemy is already at their doorstep, and they're still saying they can't go, otherwise they'll be caught red-handed.

This whole affair was orchestrated by the King of Chu.

"doctor."

Tian Er, who had been silent until now, said in a low voice, "The master's injury can no longer be delayed."

He was practically kicking people out openly.

The doctor was taken aback, then shook his head helplessly: "You're right, it's already like this, how much worse can it get?"

Those who were to be dispatched were sent out, and the once crowded room instantly became quiet, with only Tianyi and Er standing facing each other.

Since Lord Qi arrived in Huizhou, he has always been accompanied by these guards, without a single maid or servant, for fear of implicating innocent people.

But at this moment, while he was lying unconscious in bed with serious injuries, they hoped that there would be more maids in the house, at least they could take care of him quietly, much better than them, these rough men.

Tian Er glanced down at Qi Chengjun's bloodless face, feeling an indescribable regret: "Today, you were looking at things in the secret room, and it was only because there were so many people that I urged you several times."

If you don't urge them and let the adults leave quietly through the back door, and they don't come back for a long time, the people will naturally disperse.

But when he thought of the people blocking the streets to maintain order, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart...

Tianyi raised his hand to interrupt Tianer's confession and said softly, "You said that before leaving, the master went to the secret room to look at the map?"

He had been looking at that map day and night ever since His Highness suspected that the King of Chu was hoarding private troops, but he hadn't opened it for quite some time.

Why did I suddenly think of watching this today?

Tianyi was always more meticulous than Tianer: "Did the master give any instructions?"

"have!"

This time, Tian Er answered much faster, taking out a map of Houhu and relaying Lord Qi's instructions.

Tian Er's voice was somewhat somber: "Tian Yi, why do you think the lord is investigating these matters? Isn't Houhu a place where the navy trains its troops?"

He always did whatever Lord Qi said, and never thought for himself.

If things hadn't happened so suddenly today, he would have already gone out to complete all the tasks the master had instructed him to do.

Tianyi carefully examined the map of Houhu for a long time. Just before the doctor entered the room, he finally understood and his pupils were so shocked they almost popped out of their sockets.

He handed the map back to Tian Er and whispered, "You don't need to stay here with the master anymore. Go and do what the master asked you to do. When the master wakes up tomorrow or the day after, you'd better have some progress in your investigation."

Things are progressing, and the adults are recovering faster.

Tian Er said "Oh," grabbed the map, and went out the door. His figure disappeared completely in a short while.

Outside the gates of the Qi residence, there were people kneeling on the ground praying, people filled with worry, and of course, spies who came to gather information.

Everyone looked at the gates of the Qi residence with deep worry. The sun was blazing, yet no one left.

The vermilion gate has never been opened since Lord Qi was carried in. Whether Lord Qi is dead or alive, no one except the people of the Qi family knows.

The longer the wait, the more people gathered.

Some people were initially angry because their relatives and friends were injured in the stampede.

These people came to take care of Lord Qi because they were afraid he would get hurt, but Lord Qi let them be trampled on. That is Lord Qi's fault.

They wanted to question Lord Qi: the injured should be treated, but what about the dead?

Those whose families had died even knelt here, dressed in mourning clothes.

But the longer the gates remained closed, the less angry the people felt, and the more worried they became.

What if Lord Qi really doesn't come back to life?

Shouldn't the King of Chu send his trusted confidants to take over Huizhou?

They've finally managed to get back to normal life, are they going to go back to what they were before?
