Lin Mu found the only clinic in the town. After the examination, the doctor said that Xue Yu was suffering from acclimatization and internal injuries, and he would be fine after a few days of rest. This made him feel relieved.
In comparison, his injury was more serious. Xue Yu's kick on his arm directly broke three bones in his arm.
The doctor straightened his bones, put on a plaster and bandage, and put gauze on his face, wrapping it tightly.
Looking at Lin Mu who was wrapped in bandages, Xue Yu felt deeply guilty and blamed himself for hitting too hard. "You were injured so badly, why didn't you say anything?"
Listening to her caring words, Lin Mu suddenly felt warmth flowing in his heart. He touched her pink cheek lovingly, said it didn't hurt, and asked her to lie down and rest.
Not long after, Xue Yan and the Lin brothers arrived.
Looking at Xue Yu lying on the bed listlessly, Xue Yan wanted to challenge him and question him, but when he saw Lin Mu wrapped in plaster and bandages, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Xue Yu quickly sat up and called out "Brother" guiltily.
Xue Yan nodded and said gently, "I almost understand what happened. No matter what decision you make, I will support you."
Hearing this, Lin Mu said with a little excitement: "Then have you agreed to my marriage with Xiaoyu?"
Xue Yan frowned slightly and looked at Lin Mu, whose hands and head were wrapped in bandages. He suddenly felt that this man was quite brave, as he was still willing to take his sister even after being beaten like this.
But the statement still had to stand for itself. He lowered his eyes to glance at Xue Yu and found that she was trying to expect his answer.
He replied coldly, "Yu'er has been a treasure held in the palm of our family's hand since she was young. As her brother, I will give her whatever she wants, no matter what happens.
I don't know what sweet words you used to deceive her. If she had suffered the slightest injustice from you, she would have come back with tears in her eyes. The Northern Xue family will not hesitate to flatten your Xiling City at all costs."
Lin San quickly smiled and said, "Oh, brother-in-law, you can rest assured. My little five has a very gentle temperament and will definitely not treat your sister badly."
Xue Yan ignored their flattery, sat down on the bed and grabbed Xue Yu's hand.
He patted the back of her hand gently and said in a low voice, "I know no one can bully you, but you still have to be more restrained after getting married. Don't use your fists to talk about everything, and don't beat people up like that again."
Xue Yu said guiltily: "I lost control of my strength for a moment, brother, did I get into trouble?"
Xue Yan then said to Xue Yu, "Yu'er, you must remember that no matter where you go, you are the apple of the Xue family's eye.
The Black Armored Wolf Riders are your backing, and the Three Northern Prefectures will always be your home to which you can return at any time."
"Yeah." Xue Yu nodded with tears in his eyes.
Lin Si exclaimed in a very low voice: "As the envoy's brother-in-law, he speaks with dominance. When our eldest niece gets married in the future, I will say the same thing in front of the man.
But will the Xue family be difficult to get along with? They gave us such a big show of force on the first day we met."
Lin San covered his face and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Just show your power. Anyone who can make Fifth Brother, this stubborn donkey, go downhill is no ordinary person."
Lin Si nodded in understanding, "Third brother, what you said makes sense. Judging from the temperament and demeanor of this brother-in-law, I think this young lady must be well-educated."
Lin San glanced at the bandaged Lin Mu and said helplessly, "As long as Fifth Brother likes it, that's good."
Xue Yan had arrived beside them at some point. "It's getting late. We'll discuss our next strategy tomorrow at noon."
"Okay, brother-in-law, you should rest early."
Xue Yan glanced at Lin Mu and said coldly, "Brother, don't be in a hurry to call me brother-in-law. You can only call me that if Yu'er allows you to."
Xue Yu stood behind him, smiled shyly, and said, "Then, see you tomorrow."
"Yeah." Lin Mu nodded, his peach eyes full of spring, a smile reaching the bottom of his eyes. He watched them until they disappeared around the corner of the road, without looking back.
Lin San crossed his arms, looked at Lin Mu, who was still in a daze, and sighed, "My dear, is Miss Xue cute?"
"cute."
Lin Si also stood beside him, "Brother, do you like it?"
"like."
Lin Liu stood in front of him with a smile, "Brother, are you afraid of my brother-in-law?"
Lin Muban frowned and patted Lin Liu's scalp lightly, "You were the one who called me brother."
…
Early in the morning, Li Guan and Captain Song hurried back to the post station.
"Master Xue, I just received a message when I contacted the border envoy." Li Guan said seriously, "The female prime minister was attacked and killed in Linjiang County."
"What!" Several people exclaimed in unison.
Song Lin immediately shook his head in disbelief. "That's impossible. She was surrounded by Pei Zhiyuan, Master Wang's guards, and Li Shuang. How could she have been attacked?"
Xue Yan also hurriedly asked: "Is the news reliable? Where is Pei Zhiyuan? Why didn't Pei Zhiyuan protect her?"
Li Guan shook his head hesitantly. "It was the Mirror Envoy who brought the news. Lord Pei can't be contacted either."
"Impossible, impossible! Let the messenger come to see me in person!" Xue Yan's voice suddenly became much higher, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
"Xiu Xiu is so powerful, she will be fine, she will be fine. I want to go back and see her in person." Song Lin was about to go back to the room to pack his things in a daze, but was stopped by Captain Song.
"Alin, I'm afraid this is true." Captain Song grabbed Song Lin's hand with a serious expression and told everyone the information he had gathered outside the town this morning.
It was said that Yang Yihu had gathered a large group of people and was heading towards this desert town. He must have received the news of the female prime minister's death, which was why he dared to gather his men to attack them.
"It's impossible, uncle. How could Xiuxiu die? She promised me that she would wait for me to come back. We still have to go back to Qingzhou Prefecture and back to that small courtyard." Song Lin's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was choked and trembling. "How could she... leave me alone?"
"Alin, calm down. A large group of people are heading here right now. We need to evacuate as soon as possible and make plans for the rest later."
"No, I want to go to Linjiang County. I want to see her in person! To confirm it in person..." Song Lin was already in a state of panic at this moment. He kept repeating "impossible" in his mouth and was about to walk out the door in a daze.
Captain Song grabbed his arms tightly and urged loudly, "Alin! The northern checkpoints are full of Yang Yihu's troops. If you go back now, you'll be courting death!
I know you can't accept it, but only by staying alive can you find a way to take revenge."
Xue Yan quickly calmed down and said, "Go and call the four brothers of the Lin family. We need to pass through Xiling City."
He sniffed and said to Song Lin in an unusually calm tone: "Your uncle is right. Only by keeping our lives can we find a way to take revenge. The Liu family of Linzhou, the Yang family of Jiangling, those who killed the female prime minister..."
Xue Yan's eyes were red, tears rolling down his cheeks. He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, "No one can escape!"
