Chapter 265: A Key Point That Will Make You Regret
Chen Zhao looked at Cao Dejiang's furrowed brows and added:
"Deputy General Cao, you don't know how strictly Madam Lu controls Deputy General Lu.
If you ask him for fifty pieces of silver, aren't you asking for his life?"
Shen Zhao continued as Cao Dejiang's pupils gradually widened:
"Deputy General Lu knelt before me for these fifty taels, asking me to help him clear his name."
Cao Dejiang was almost irritated to the point of vomiting blood by Shen Zhao's words.
He casually asked Lu Xing for fifty taels of silver, but it was just a casual remark.
Who the hell knew that Lu Xing didn't even have fifty taels on him.
If he knew this, he would just ask for five taels as a token of his appreciation.
I regret it so much!
Damn!
For fifty taels of silver, he ran to General Chu and knelt down. Lu Xing's knees were really weak!
Lu Xing didn't feel embarrassed by General Chu's words.
General Chu is just telling the truth.
"Cao Dejiang, I, Lu Xingxing, have done the right thing. I didn't hurt you, and that's it. The military doctor is waiting outside. General Chu, General Shen, and the Third Young Master are all here. Do you dare to let the military doctor treat your wound in front of the general?"
Cao Dejiang was about to refuse, but Wen Chenzhao said, "The military doctor waiting outside Lu Xing was originally there to bandage Lieutenant General Cao's wound. Just let him in."
Lu Xing shouted outside the tent, "Come in! Didn't you hear the general ask you to come in and bandage Lieutenant General Cao's wound?"
The military doctor sighed outside, walked in slowly, and bowed to Shen Zhao and Cao Dejiang, saying, "This subordinate greets the general and the deputy general."
Chen Zhao signaled the military doctor to bandage Cao Dejiang's wound, "Go ahead, Deputy General Cao is still injured, there's no need to be so polite."
The military doctor quickly glanced at Deputy General Cao, and Cao Dejiang's eyes flashed.
Lu Xing couldn't wait any longer and urged, "Why don't you start bandaging Deputy General Cao? What are you standing there for?"
Chen Zhao also looked at Cao Dejiang and said, "Deputy General Cao, please take off your clothes. I see that the blood on your shoulder has soaked through your shirt. This injury is not light."
Cao Dejiang took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He pulled the shirt down suddenly, and the blood from the wound formed a scab and stuck to the wound.
He tore it off with all his might, and at the same time as the shirt came off, he pulled off a piece of blood scab.
The wound suddenly became bloody and blood oozed out uncontrollably.
Judging from the bloody wound, it is really impossible to tell whether it is a sword wound or not.
Especially after it had been cracked once by Lu Xing's two-point strength.
Seeing that Cao Dejiang was injured so seriously, Lu Xing knew what was going on even though he was stupid.
"Cao Dejiang, you should open your dog eyes and see for yourself, what kind of good man can beat someone into this state with one punch, and you still say that you didn't plot against me.
I didn't intend to extort fifty taels of silver from me."
The severe pain from the wound made Cao Dejiang bite his lower lip tightly, and a thin layer of fine sweat beads instantly appeared on his forehead.
Last night, Shen Tianci's sword wounded him deeply, and today he was hit by Lu Xing's punch, which made his injury even worse.
Now he tore it apart alive along with his flesh and blood, and the pain made him grit his teeth.
I also heard that Lu Xing was still worried about the fifty taels, saying that he was blackmailing him.
Cao Dejiang almost died of anger.
Fifty taels, fifty taels!
Is Lu Xing really that short of those fifty taels of silver?
He gave him a few hundred fifty taels to kill him!
The military doctor hurried forward to bandage Cao Dejiang's wound.
Chen Zhao suddenly spoke up, his face darkening as he said, "Deputy General Cao, how did you get this injury? Tell the truth!"
Cao Dejiang is really willing to do something to me, so now I have no choice but to strike first.
Cao Dejiang endured the severe pain from his left shoulder and his face turned pale, not because of the pain, but because of excessive blood loss.
"General, do you also suspect that I am blackmailing you? I was indeed beaten like this by Lieutenant General Lu."
In this short moment, the blood flowing from Cao Dejiang's left shoulder was dripping down his left arm.
A fist-sized pool of blood had formed at his feet.
The military doctor said anxiously, "General, please allow me to stop the bleeding for Lieutenant General Cao."
"Why are you in such a hurry, General? He is still interrogating Lieutenant General Cao. Why are you so anxious?" Xie Yuheng pushed the military doctor away. He felt that something was wrong with this military doctor from just now.
Now it seems that there is indeed a problem.
Cao Dejiang gritted his teeth and said, "General, I am the deputy general of the army. May I ask what I have done wrong to deserve your treatment?"
Chen Zhao looked at Cao Dejiang who was holding on and spoke slowly, "During the three days that I was unconscious, Wu Yunhai, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty, encountered seven assassination attempts. The last one happened last night. The assassin who assassinated Wu Yunhai was stabbed in the left shoulder by General Shen."
"General, do you suspect that I am the murderer?"
Chen Zhao chuckled, "It's more than just a suspicion. I've already confirmed that Deputy General Cao is the murderer, and he's an accomplice!"
Shen Zhao pointed at the military doctor.
The military doctor immediately knelt down in shock, "General, I am innocent. I am just a military doctor, an ordinary person. How could I be an accomplice in the assassination of Prince Wu?"
Shen Zhao suddenly drew the sword from Shen Tianci's waist and stabbed the military doctor.
But the military doctor suddenly jumped to the side to avoid the sword that Shen Zhao was stabbing at him.
His movements were quick and agile, without any delay.
How could an ordinary person have such skills?
"Catch him!" Shen Zhao gave the order, and without waiting for others to take action, Lu Xing, who was as big as a mountain, took action quickly.
The move was as fast as lightning. In just a few seconds, the military doctor who wanted to escape was subdued and picked up in his hands like a chicken.
Lu Xing slapped the military doctor's back fiercely, "You, your grandson, conspired with Cao the thief to kill me."
The military doctor suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Lu Xing scratched his head sheepishly and apologized, "General, I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect him to be so weak."
Shen Zhao didn't say anything. No one could withstand that slap from you.
"What else do you have to say, Deputy General Cao?"
"Even if this military doctor knows kung fu, how can the general be sure that he is one of his subordinates and not sent by others to frame his subordinates?" He refused to admit it, and what could Chu Mu do to him?
His wounds were now bloody and it was impossible to tell how he had been injured.
He insisted that Lu Xing had injured him, but what evidence could Chu Mu produce to prove that he was stabbed by Shen Tianci.
"Does Lieutenant Cao really think I have no way to prove how you were injured? Do you really think that if you destroy the wound, people won't be able to tell?"
Cao Dejiang felt a tightness in his heart.
Shen Zhao shook Shen Tianci’s sword in his hand.
"Does Lieutenant General Cao feel that the pain in his wound is unbearable and numb at the same time?"
A few days ago, an old doctor cut her wrist to let the blood. After losing too much blood, the wound was extremely painful and numb.
Cao Dejiang's eyes narrowed. His wound was indeed extremely painful and numb.
"General Shen's sword is coated with a poison called Seven Days Blood Powder. Anyone wounded by this sword will die within seven days if there is no antidote."
Xie Yuheng and Lu Xing looked towards Shen Tianci. This kid was so vicious that he actually coated his sword with such a vicious poison.
Shen Tianci appears to be as steady as an old dog on the surface, but he is actually quite manic inside.
When did he apply the poison? But he knew that General Chu was trying to scare Cao Dejiang, so he couldn't reveal any flaws and kept an unfathomable expression.
But the two idiots next to him almost ruined his plan. While Cao Dejiang was still doubting the authenticity of the poison, these two guys quickly took a step back and distanced themselves from him.
