Chapter 124 Revenge for the Duke
Boss He's face darkened, and a look of vigilance flashed across his cloudy eyes: "I don't understand what you are saying."
"Really?" Shen Wan smiled coldly, "Then can you explain why your illness started earlier than the patients in the east of the city?"
This may fool others, but it cannot fool a professional military doctor.
When Boss He heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"It's none of your business!" he said coldly with a gloomy face.
Xie Mubai glanced at him with a complicated expression and said calmly, "She is the young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion."
Upon hearing this, the old doctor was so shocked that he didn't recover for a long time.
"You...what did you say?" He couldn't believe his ears and looked at Xie Mubai in astonishment. "No, this is absolutely impossible!"
"The prince of Zhenguo obviously married the daughter of the Marquis of Xiangyang, so how could he and Grand Tutor Liu become in-laws?"
Xie Mubai's eyes moved slightly.
As expected, he was the Duke of Zhenguo’s man.
"He Xuan." He pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, this should be your real name, right?"
"You followed the Duke of Zhenguo into battle at the age of thirteen, and after being wounded, you became a military officer."
"By the way, when you were injured, it was the Duke of Zhenguo who carried you off the battlefield."
When Boss He heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"You... who are you?" His eyes were red as he suddenly pulled out a sharp knife from his pocket and shouted, "How do you know so much?"
Xie Mubai smiled faintly.
He looked at Boss He quietly for a while and asked, "Don't you think I look like someone?"
Boss He stared at it for a long time with his eyes wide open, then suddenly came to his senses.
"You...you are the prince?" He asked stutteringly, trembling with nervousness.
how so?
Shouldn't they be on their way to exile? Why are they suddenly here?
Xie Mubai didn't say anything and took out a token from his arms.
The token was made of gold and had the word "Thank you" engraved on it.
As soon as he saw the token, He Boss immediately knelt on the ground and cried out, "This subordinate greets the prince!"
"Old man, get up quickly!" Xie Mubai reached out to help him.
When Boss He saw it, he was so scared that he dodged quickly.
"Don't... don't touch me, my lord!" He cried and subconsciously moved back. "I have the virus."
"Furthermore, during the battle at Yumen Pass, I failed to protect the Duke, and this is truly a grave sin!"
Upon hearing the three words "Yumen Pass", Xie Mubai's dark pupils suddenly tightened.
He asked coldly, "What happened then?"
Boss He's eyes were red, and his thoughts returned to the land with flying yellow sand.
"I'm not sure either." He said hoarsely, choking with sobs, "I'm a medical officer, and I don't know many confidential matters."
"But at the beginning, the battle went very smoothly. We drove the enemy ten miles away from the border, and the Duke decided to return to the court."
"But suddenly one day, the Duke received a letter via carrier pigeon. No one knew what was written in the letter."
"But the next day, the Duke ordered the pursuit of the enemy, and then..."
At this point, Boss He burst into tears.
After hearing this, Xie Mubai's face changed.
Don’t chase a desperate enemy!
With the Duke of Zhenguo's many years of experience on the battlefield, it is impossible for him not to know this truth.
Apparently, that letter was the key.
"I was in the city buying medicine at the time and couldn't accompany the Duke to his death." Boss He cried, his eyes determined. "I also searched the battlefield, but apart from the Duke's helmet, I didn't find any of his belongings."
"I originally wanted to take the helmet back to the capital to announce the death, but I didn't expect to hear the news that the Duke's Mansion had been ransacked."
"I don't have any special abilities, and my martial arts skills are poor. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to avenge the Duke."
"At this time, I happened to meet an old lady who was suffering from smallpox, so I deliberately infected myself with it."
"None of the officials and people in the capital are good people. After I was infected, I deliberately stayed there for a while."
Hearing this, Shen Wan asked in confusion: “Then why did you come here?”
This small county town is far away from the capital, and there seems to be no reason for him to cause chaos here.
"Because of Master Liu." Boss He said coldly.
Shen Wan's heart suddenly tightened: "Could it be that the Duke's matter has something to do with him?"
No, how is this possible!
Tutor Liu has not been involved in state affairs for many years. How could he suddenly harm the Duke of Zhenguo?
"No, it's just that he can't live!" Boss He didn't intend to hide anything and told the truth, "If he stood on the side of the Third Prince, then the Third Prince would definitely seize the throne of the Crown Prince!"
"I've always suspected that the secret letter from that day was related to the Third Prince!"
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless.
This old man really tried his best to get revenge.
"But Master Liu is not a bad person." Xie Mubai shook his head and said earnestly, "I want revenge more than you do, but I can't hurt innocent people. I believe my father feels the same way."
"Think about it, what was the reason for him to fight on the battlefield for so many years? Wasn't it just to protect the safety of the people?"
"Now you have maliciously infected the people with the plague, causing heavy casualties."
“If he knew, do you think he would forgive you?”
Boss He's eyes turned red.
"As long as I can avenge the Duke, it doesn't matter if I am despised by the world!" He raised his head and said stubbornly.
Shen Wan held her forehead slightly.
Oh, it’s so tiring to talk to this Boss He.
"But have you ever thought about who his real enemy is?" she asked helplessly.
Without even thinking, He Laoda blurted out: "The Third Prince!"
"The Third Prince has done so many evil things. Could it be that the Emperor is completely unaware of this?" Shen Wan asked.
After hearing this, Boss He seemed to understand something.
"How could this happen?" He said, his face pale and his eyes a little panicked. "How is it possible? How could he even kill the important officials who defended the border for him?"
Heartbreak is just a matter of a moment.
The dog emperor's ungratefulness is enough to chill the hearts of all the soldiers.
"Let Wan'er cure your illness first, and then leave here." Xie Mubai thought for a moment and said, "If you really have nowhere to go, go to Xiejiazhuang."
"The Xie family's ancestral tomb is there, and there's also a family temple and some fields nearby."
"Everything can be used as an official, but the sacrificial property will not be confiscated. You won't have a hard time there."
He Boss heard this and quickly said, "But I want to follow the prince!"
"There are more important things for you to do there." Xie Mubai said calmly, "Please bury my father's helmet in the Xie family's ancestral tomb. This way, it can be considered a cenotaph."
"From now on, I'll leave all the matters of my father's incense burning and worship to the old man."
After hearing this, Boss He nodded quickly.
Without the help of Boss He, the treatment went much more smoothly.
Soon, the epidemic in the east of the city was alleviated.
After hearing the news, the third prince, who had just left halfway, regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
The credit he had earned was snatched away by that clown girl, and he was so angry that he smashed all the teacups in his hands into pieces.
No, he absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!
After thinking it over again and again, he turned the car around and returned to Liu's house overnight.
Tutor Liu was a shrewd man, so how could he not guess what he wanted to do?
This cowardly bastard is clearly here to pick fruits.
However, due to the dog emperor's face, he did not expose it.
After the epidemic in the east of the city was completely under control, Shen Wancai took Hu Dahai and others out of the east of the city.
As soon as he saw them, Master Liu's eyes turned red with excitement.
"Good boy, I'm glad you're okay!" He rushed forward with red eyes and stumbled.
Shen Wan took one look and dodged quickly.
