Chapter 320: Some sacrifices are unavoidable
She listened carefully, but found that there was silence all around her.
I couldn't tell what was going on.
Zhao Shen stepped forward to examine the corpse and said, "It's someone from the mountain stronghold. Judging from the wound, it must have been done by Chen Shan's people."
Ji Yunshu asked, "Are the people in the village not prepared? Did something happen to Uncle Lu?"
Zhao Shen was also unsure: "Let's go and take a look."
Yin Shu asked, "Aren't you afraid there might be an ambush inside?"
Zhao Shen said, "How many people did Chen Shan bring with him? He might not even be able to escape unscathed. How could he possibly have enough strength left to ambush us?"
"Your Highness, are you so sure that Village Chief Lu and Clan Leader Yaohui are trustworthy?"
Zhao Shen said: "I released people in the mountain stronghold. At least I haven't received any bad news yet."
Yin Shu: "Your Highness is truly thoughtful."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this something that any normal person would think of? Even if you are sure they are reliable, you should still leave someone to pass on the message."
Zhao Shen couldn't just come here blindly.
As they walked further in, they saw more and more dead bodies. When they reached the innermost part, there were still a few corpses of people from southern Xinjiang.
Ji Yunshu sighed; "It seems that Uncle Lu can't suppress those people."
Zhao Shen said: "It's a person who is expected. Uncle Lu is too sentimental. The other party is acting with intention and without intention. It's hard for him not to fall into the trap."
"Then you still..."
Ji Yunshu was just about to ask him why he let Lu Ying handle it himself if he knew about it.
If some people had been left to help Lu Ying, things might have been much easier.
But on second thought, he understood Zhao Shen's intention.
If they intervene, the other party may not show up. By then, the village will not be cleaned up properly and hidden dangers may remain.
Lin Huixue's so-called handle may not be among these people.
Now, in order to deal with Lu Ying, they will definitely come out in full force.
Even if Lu Ying couldn't handle it, there was still Rogue who followed Chen Shan to finish him off.
The only downside is that more innocent people will be sacrificed.
But some sacrifices are unavoidable.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Ji Yunshu inevitably felt a little disgusted.
But she knew that she could not control the world and it was impossible for her to make everyone content with the status quo and live in peace with the world.
Soon, she followed Zhao Shen to the meeting hall they had visited before.
Rogge's men were guarding outside the door. When they saw them coming, they immediately went inside to report.
Rogge came out quickly and said respectfully to Zhao Shen, "The matter has been dealt with, but the village chief surnamed Lu was seriously injured."
Ji Yunshu immediately brought Bai Ling forward and asked, "Where is Uncle Lu?"
Rogge glanced at Zhao Shen, and seeing that he had no objection, he took Ji Yunshu directly to the meeting hall.
Ji Yunshu was stunned when he entered. There were many wounded people lying in the spacious meeting hall.
Rogge explained with a smile: "We stopped the general who led the troops here. Many of them were injured and it was difficult to move. Since there is enough space here, we moved everyone in."
Ji Yunshu nodded and took a closer look, and found that several of them were busy helping people with injuries.
Among them was an old doctor who was very nimble. He saw the right spot and pulled out the arrow from a man's chest. Blood spurted out of the man's chest as he moved. The doctor quickly covered the wound with a cloth sprinkled with hemostatic medicine.
The whole process happens almost in the blink of an eye.
Ji Yunshu was horrified by what he saw.
Bai Ling had obviously seen it as well, and whispered in Ji Yunshu's ear, "This doctor must have served in the army before."
Doctors in the army are particularly good at treating external injuries, and their techniques are different from those of ordinary doctors.
Ji Yunshu followed Rogge inside and saw Lu Ying sitting on a low couch behind a screen.
Lu Ying's face was as pale as paper and his breath was weak, which showed that he was seriously injured.
Seeing that he was finally awake, Ji Yunshu quickly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Lu, how are you?"
Lu Ying opened his mouth: "I... I'm fine."
Seeing that he was struggling to speak, Roger helped out, "Lord Lu is very brave. When I arrived, he was leading his men alone to resist the attack of General Chen and his men. He was hit by several arrows and bled profusely. Fortunately, there were no vital injuries. The doctor said he just needs to take good care of himself."
Seeing that the wound had been treated, Ji Yunshu asked Bai Ling to take a look.
Bai Ling stepped forward to check his pulse and said, "Master Lu is in good health. He has lost too much blood and will be fine after some nourishment."
Ji Yunshu was relieved.
Seeing that Lu Ying wanted to say something, she stopped him and said, "Uncle Lu, take good care of your injuries. I will take care of the rest."
Lu Ying nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's what I should do."
Ji Yunshu actually felt a little guilty. It could be seen that Lu Ying really had no ambitions and just wanted to live a peaceful life.
But because he was his father's subordinate, he was targeted, and in just a few years, he was pushed to his current position.
That would have been fine, but those brothers whom he treated sincerely were just trying to use him from the very beginning.
This probably made it difficult for him to accept.
Ji Yunshu didn't bother her anymore and went out to look for Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen did not come in with her, but listened to Chao Qing talk about what happened in the mountain village overnight in an empty room next door.
Chao Qing actually arrived here earlier than Zhao Shen, but he never showed up.
"Chief Lu probably didn't realize that his position as leader had long been sidelined. Apart from him, the other brothers were united. Once he made a move, the others immediately united."
At this point, he sighed, "If Chief Rogge hadn't arrived in time, I probably wouldn't have been able to save him even if I showed up."
Zhao Shen said, "Lu Ying has trained these people for many years, so he wouldn't have a single trusted confidant, right?"
Chao Qing said, "That's not the case. Village Chief Lu isn't that stupid. The other leaders have had ulterior motives from the very beginning. But the people taken in by the village are not like that. Many of them were rescued by Village Chief Lu when they were desperate. Their feelings for him are different from others. What's more, some of them came from the military camp with Village Chief Lu."
Zhao Shen pointed his finger at the table: "Is there anything wrong with these people?"
Chao Qing smiled and said, "Your Highness is wise, but there are a few restless ones. There are some letters hidden in the room. I took a look and found that they are all from the north."
As he said that, he took out a stack of letters and handed them to Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen flipped through it and asked, "Did you find out what the letter was about?"
Chao Qing shook his head: "They were all silenced."
Zhao Shen was not surprised at all. Lin Huixue seemed to be cautious in her actions, so it was not easy for her to find the letter.
When Ji Yunshu came in, she saw him lost in thought while holding the letter, so she leaned over and asked, "What is this?"
Zhao Shen repeated Chao Qing's words, handed her the letter, and asked, "How is Uncle Lu?"
Ji Yunshu flipped through the letter and said, "I was shot by an arrow and lost a lot of blood, but it's okay. Do you have any other plans?"
Zhao Shen said: "Nothing, what do you think of these letters?"
Ji Yunshu read a few of them and asked, "Could this be the evidence that Lin Huixue is talking about?"
"It's probably only part of it, but this letter does come from the North. To make it difficult for your father to refute it, it must have come from someone he trusts very much."
Ji Yunshu also thought of this, and she felt a little headache: "It seems that Daddy's people are not clean either. This person may be difficult to investigate.
