Chapter 25: I Won't Reach the Exiled Lands Alive
The man in black had a cold look in his eyes. He flashed and appeared where Zhu Mingqing had just been, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he found it was a cat.
Inside the space, Zhu Mingqing couldn't help but feel fortunate that she still had this life-saving tool.
Outside the space, the man in black reappeared beside Lao Xin, a sword pressed against his neck, and said in a threatening voice, "If you regret this, you will lose your life."
Lao Xin fell to his knees and begged for mercy.
"Please spare my life, sir. I dare not disobey the master's order. The beast-attracting powder we used was discovered by them, and the inspections have been very strict these days. I wanted to take action today, but..."
The man in black said in a gloomy voice: "But what?"
"But the heavy rain washed away the medicine powder." Lao Xin cried with snot and tears everywhere. He ignored the intermittent pain in his calf. He knelt on the ground and wanted to hug the other person's thigh, but the other person rejected him and avoided him.
The man in black obviously didn't expect it to be such a ridiculous reason.
After a while, he threw down a packet of poison, his voice as cold as ice: "Last chance."
"I understand, I understand."
"Also, take care of that woman just now!"
"yes!"
A gust of wind blew, and Lao Xin looked up carefully, but there was no one in front of him. His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
There was an expression of surviving a disaster on his face.
When he returned to the dilapidated temple and looked around, he was relieved to find that it was still the same as when he left.
Zhu Mingqing waited for a long time, but no one else came in. Finally, she was too sleepy to open her eyes, so she asked the little world spirit to continue watching her, and then she fell into a deep sleep.
But until the next day when the sky was bright and clear, no suspicious people appeared.
Zhu Mingqing thought the other party had left, but just as they were about to leave the ruined temple——
"Qingqing, I saw it," the little world spirit reminded hurriedly, "The tallest man next to the carriage was talking to Lao Xin just now."
Zhu Mingqing paused and glanced at him casually. The other person was dressed in black and guarding the carriage. He was obviously Liang Huanyu's guard.
Zhu Mingqing originally thought that those people in the capital wanted to attack them, but he didn't expect that Liang Huanyu was also involved.
That’s right, it’s not surprising that the male protagonist is ambitious and wants to take action against Prince Luo’s Mansion!
…
Liang Huanyu and his group were about to leave.
Before getting on the carriage, his eyes flickered slightly, and he took two steps forward and said to Liang He, "Grandfather misses you very much. If you have time, go back and see him."
Hearing this, Liang He laughed sarcastically.
Miss him?
I'm afraid he wants to know about Pei Shangling.
Liang He ignored him and turned to shout to the team: "Let's go!"
Two teams, one heading north and the other heading south, marched back to back.
The group heading north dragged heavy iron chains and moved forward slowly.
The group heading south had luxury cars and delicious food.
In the carriage, Wang Tan took one last look at those people before lowering the curtains. He said with disdain, "Giving them money is such a waste!"
Liang Huanyu comforted him: "We won't see each other again anyway, so why bother getting angry over these lowly people?"
Wang Tan nodded vigorously: "Indeed, these traitors deserve to be exiled."
Upon hearing this, Liang Huanyu couldn't help but smile in agreement: Aren't they just traitors?
Who would have thought that when he was young, he actually dreamed that Luo Huai became the emperor.
Although the cause and effect are unclear, since the Luo family is willing to rebel, it is clear that this court is no longer worthy of their loyalty.
If others can do it, why can't he?
"Cousin, do you think they can reach the place of exile alive?" Wang Tan was very interested in the Luo family.
My grandfather often talked about how brave and fearless General Luo was and how he cared about the world.
But now it seems that even my grandfather can make mistakes.
General Luo killed so many people, it's not unfair that his family ended up in this situation.
Liang Huanyu hid the ambition in his eyes and put on a gentle face again. He replied meaningfully: "I think... not likely."
…
After the heavy rain, the bumpy road was muddy and branches blown down by the strong wind blocked the way forward.
"This is too difficult to move." Chang Wu muttered as he and others worked hard to pull the cart out of the pit.
"Hold on a little longer. There's a small mountain village ahead. We'll rest there today."
Liang He looked at the prisoners who were dragging their feet behind him and shouted, "Hurry up and leave, or you won't get lunch."
When they heard that there was no food, everyone couldn't help but speed up.
By the time they arrived at the small mountain village, it was already mid-afternoon.
The small mountain village was not big, with only more than 20 households. The village chief placed them in several vacant rooms.
Liang He escorted the village chief to the door and asked, "Old man, do you have any surplus food? Can you sell some to us?"
The village chief nodded quickly: "Yes, yes."
Liang He called Chang Wu and asked him to go with the village chief to collect grain. He turned back to the yard and had just arranged his accommodation for the night when an official hurried over.
"Boss, this is bad. Lao Xin's wound has split open and he has a fever. We have to go to the clinic immediately."
Liang He frowned: "There's no village in front and no shop behind, where can we find a clinic?"
And so much time has passed, why is Lao Xin's injury getting worse?
When the village chief, who was not far away, heard this, he thought of the polite attitude of the officer just now and thought that he should not be an unreasonable person.
He said to Chang Wu who was standing beside him, "Sir, there is a doctor named Hua in our village."
Chang Wu didn't even have time to buy food and immediately went to hire someone.
Unfortunately, Dr. Hua went up the mountain to dig herbs early in the morning.
"Old Xin, you have to hold on."
Chang Wu was afraid that he would faint, so he shook him hard from time to time.
Liang He also began to get anxious. This small mountain village was very remote. Where could he find another doctor?
etc……
The little maidservant beside Madam Zhu seemed to know something about medicine.
Never mind, let’s try it out first.
In the room, Zhu Mingqing was reading a book about medicinal materials, occasionally discussing with Fen Tao.
Chang Wu ran over to explain his purpose and was about to leave by pulling Fen Tao.
Seeing this, Zhu Mingqing hurried over.
…
After entering the house, Fen Tao carefully examined Lao Xin's wound. It had already become festered and seemed to be infected.
"How is it?" Chang Wu asked hurriedly when he saw that she didn't speak for a long time.
Fen Tao's face looked pale. "We must remove the rotten flesh as soon as possible, otherwise our lives will be in danger."
Chang Wuyi was anxious, and his voice was inevitably a little angry: "Why don't you save people quickly?"
Zhu Mingqing's brows turned cold, and he put Fen Tao behind him. "Without herbs and tools, how can we save people? Besides, Fen Tao only knows some medical theories, but her medical skills are not superb. What if she can't cure him?"
Even if she had medicinal herbs and tools, she didn't want to give them to Old Xin.
She heard it clearly last night. He was the one who invited the wolf. In order to avoid suspicion, he deliberately injured himself. Now this is retribution.
