Zhou Tianqi traveled around looking for his fellow sufferers, but everyone's constitution was different. Some of them not only recovered from the poisoning but also slowly regained their strength.
Some were completely exhausted, their bodies were like those of someone who had been lying in a dry latrine, unable to get up at all.
Several brothers who failed to get a toilet stall ran into the mountains and never came out.
He searched everywhere but couldn't find them all, so he had no choice but to go back to find His Highness the Crown Prince.
To be honest, his legs are numb right now, he's really suffering this time.
"Tianqi, why did you come back alone? Where are the other brothers?" Chu Tianling asked, seeing Zhou Tianqi return last.
After explaining the situation to everyone, Zhou Tianqi simply sat down against the wall, clutching his stomach with one hand.
Shen Jiaojiao asked with some concern, "Tianqi, do you want to squat there for a while longer?"
He could have kept quiet, but once he did, Zhou Tianqi hurriedly got up and rushed toward the nearest outhouse.
The reinforcements should be on their way, but I don't know where they are now.
At this moment, Ning Caichen, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, came over again. Seeing the two of them, he asked excitedly, "How is it? How is it? When are you leaving?"
Upon closer inspection, Shen Jiaojiao noticed that Ning Caichen had even packed his bags and was carrying them on his back, indicating that he was truly leaving this time.
The reinforcements hadn't arrived yet, and she didn't know how to answer, so she could only reassure them, "Wait a little longer!"
Ning Caichen noticed something was off about her expression and was startled: "You... what do you mean? You're not lying to me, are you? There aren't any reinforcements at all?"
"Hey! Keep your voice down, don't make a fuss. The reinforcements are on their way up the mountain, but they haven't shown up yet. They must be tied up by something. Don't worry, we'll definitely get you out of here."
Shen Jiaojiao looked serious; she really wanted to take him away.
Ning Caichen was a little unsure and continued to ask, "Then what was with your expression just now?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you hadn't given them laxatives, we would have left long ago. Why are you asking so many questions?" Shen Jiaojiao looked at him sternly.
Ning Caichen touched his nose and remained silent. In any case, he was determined to stay with these two and leave today no matter what.
"Young Master Ning! Where are you?"
"Young Master Ning! The chieftain is looking for you!"
"Young Master Ning!"
Suddenly, shouts came from outside.
Ning Caichen clutched his bundle tightly, shaking his head incessantly: "Save me! I don't want to see the chieftain! I'm about to leave, I don't want to make myself suffer!"
Shen Jiaojiao remembered the valuables under the chieftain's bed. Since that was the case, why not pull off a big heist? After all, her helpers were all behind her.
"Wait, give me the bundle!"
Ning Caichen clutched his bundle tightly, somewhat resisting: "What?!"
Shen Jiaojiao said in a low voice, "You go with her first, we'll follow behind. When we get to the chieftain's room, try to get rid of the people at the door, and then we'll..." She gestured with her hand to her neck.
It means to knock someone unconscious.
Ning Caichen's eyes widened, thinking to himself: So fierce? A decisive victory right from the start? The brothers who came behind him must be very reliable.
He tentatively asked, "How many reinforcements do you have?"
Shen Jiaojiao blurted out, "Thirty thousand people!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Caichen immediately straightened up: "Here you go, leave this to me! I know you are not ordinary people, but I am doing this for the country and for the greater good. I only ask that I be allowed to repay the life-saving grace after this is over."
Thirty thousand men are not someone that just anyone can hire. This group is clearly a national army, with powerful backers, and they might even be high-ranking officials.
If you can perform well in front of them and make a name for yourself, you'll be promoted, make a fortune, and reach the pinnacle of life in no time!
All the suffering I've endured here has been for this moment!
Ning Caichen stood tall and strode out.
After taking three steps, he paused for a second without turning his head, and said quietly, "Remember to stay close to me!"
Shen Jiaojiao's newly formed admiration shattered in an instant.
The thought of the 30,000 companions standing behind Ning Caichen gave him an inexhaustible source of energy, and his steps became lighter.
"I'm here. The chieftain is looking for me, right? I can go myself. You should go back and rest!"
Without waiting for a reply, he strode toward the chieftain's room.
He knows this place very well.
With faith in my heart, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, I arrived at my room.
Several servants were standing at the door. When they saw him coming, they immediately pushed the door open and gestured for him to come in.
He used to go in without saying a word.
This time, he stood at the door, bowed to the group, and said loudly, "Sisters, you've worked hard. The chieftain was frightened today, so I'm planning to play some new tricks with him. It might be a bit noisy. Sisters, you've worked hard today too. Go and rest early, and don't keep watch tonight."
Although those men didn't want to guard the place either, they kept their faces expressionless: "Your word doesn't count! We only obey the chief's orders. Stop talking nonsense, the chief lets you in."
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll ask the chieftain!" Ning Caichen wasn't angry at all.
Third Sister was already sitting on the bed. She was very upset today, and there was nothing that made her happy.
She had overheard their conversation at the door and suddenly became interested in the unusual tricks he mentioned.
She lay on her side on the bed, propping her head up with her hand, and looked at Ning Caichen who came in with amusement: "I heard you're planning to try something new with me today?"
These men are all the same, they only know a few positions, what else can they do?
Ning Caichen, for the first time ever, gave her a smile: "Chief! Could you please let the ladies at the gate go back and rest? They're tired today too!"
Seeing the chieftain's displeasure, he said with a touch of embarrassment, "It's mainly because I don't want anyone else to see it. I only want you to see it!"
Third Sister was indeed quite pleased!
Ning Caichen continued, "Alas! I know that the chieftain will not only have me as a man in the future, but seeing you so eagerly running towards someone else today, my heart aches so much! So I plan to leave you with a special memory, so that no matter how many men you have in the future, I will always be the most special one for you!"
San Niang was overjoyed to hear this!
What a special little darling! She's met so many men before, and although they forced her to be with someone, after a while, she'd also crave something sweet.
Third Sister's heart felt like it was soaking in sugar water, so sweet it was delightful.
She immediately sat up straight and shouted outside, "You all go down! Close the door."
Her voice was filled with laughter, her heart brimming with anticipation for the beautiful moments to come.
The door slammed shut.
"Ning Lang! Show me all your tricks!"
Third Sister gave him a seductive wink.
Ning Caichen smiled as he listened to the receding footsteps gradually fade away.
