Chapter 138: I have to take her back
The maid lifted the curtain and Xiangying walked straight inside.
The room smelled foul and the servant had just cleaned up a pool of vomit and taken it away from Xiangying.
She frowned slightly.
The whole room was hidden by heavy curtains.
Lying on the bed was the pale and thin city garrison commander, Lord Li.
The torture over the past few days has made him so thin that he no longer looks like a human.
The bed was surrounded by servants, and a doctor was kneeling on the ground.
Lord Li's eyes were like two emotionless stones.
After looking at Xiangying sinisterly, he said, "I have been suffering from this strange disease since I came to Xizhou."
"I heard that you are the eldest princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty. That's great. Zhao Yushi is a citizen of your Western Zhou Dynasty. She cured my youngest son to death and now she can't even cure my illness. Since you are the eldest princess, you should cure my illness for me!"
"But if you can't cure it, you will end up like Zhao Yushi at the door."
Xiangying walked forward, lowered his eyes, and spoke in a steady tone.
"I don't dare to treat adults."
"Why?"
"The medicine is not clean, I'm afraid the adults won't dare to eat it."
Lord Li's face turned red with anger, and just as he was about to lose his temper, he suddenly started to dry heave.
The servant next to him hurriedly came forward with a spittoon and asked him to spit out everything.
However, when Xiangying heard the sound of his vomiting, he knew that this Lord Li really had not eaten anything, and all he vomited was the sound of water.
After vomiting, Lord Li leaned back on the bed, breathing heavily.
"Are you still trying to say that sheep dung is useful as a medicine? Zhao Yushi just tricked me into eating this, but she vomited even more!"
Xiangying's eyes were dark: "Please show me the medicine residue, sir."
Lord Li winked at his servant, and immediately someone came up with a pile of medicine residue.
Xiangying took two glances and sneered.
"Sir, I will prescribe you a new prescription. Just take it as I say. If there is any problem again, I will let you deal with it."
Lord Li looked Xiangying up and down with a sinister look.
“You still want to eat sheep dung?”
Xiangying nodded: "The more you eat, the better you will get faster."
Lord Li closed his eyes in pain: "Prescribe some medicine!"
Staying alive is more important, so just eat it.
Xiangying walked to the table and picked up the pen to write the medicine.
Then he handed the bag of sheep dung he had brought to the groom.
When he opened the bag, the smell was so strong that the groom almost vomited.
"Should we deal with this...?"
"If the medicine is not effective enough, will you take responsibility for it?" Xiangying asked back.
Seeing her so confident, Lord Li urged: "Stop talking nonsense and bring it over quickly."
By the way, Xiangying also asked a doctor he trusted to look over the prescription.
The doctor frowned: "This..."
Lord Li endured the stench of sheep dung and looked at him: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the prescription?"
The doctor shook his head: "It's not that there is a problem, but... I'm afraid my medical skills are not good enough. I can't see the effect of this prescription."
It contains all kinds of herbs, including those that clear away heat and detoxify, and those that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
But these have nothing to do with diarrhea and vomiting.
Lord Li looked at Xiangying in confusion: "Are you sure this recipe will work?"
Xiangying remained calm and said, "As long as you drink this medicine, the vomiting and diarrhea will stop within half an hour. After an hour, you will feel hungry and want to eat. After two hours, you will be able to walk. The effect will be immediate."
"These are the conclusions I came to after testing on the pirates. Besides, if Lord Li feels that it has no effect, I am here to kill you as you please."
Lord Li thinks that’s right.
He threatened viciously: "You'd better pray that the prescription works, otherwise, I will blame you for the humiliation of eating sheep dung!"
Xiangying smiled and slightly raised his head. His fair and heroic face was as beautiful as a painting.
"no problem."
Of course the prescription she prescribed was useless; it was just made up at random.
Eating sheep dung is of course also false.
What was really useful were the capsules and drug concentrates that Xiangying stuffed into sheep feces.
She bet that Lord Li would never chew sheep dung.
Sure enough, the medicine was cooked quickly, and Lord Li swallowed the whole bag of sheep dung directly with the medicine soup.
He rolled his eyes at the stench and lay down on the edge of the bed, wanting to vomit.
Xiangying immediately stopped him: "It won't work if you spit it out, swallow it!"
Lord Li's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he was forced to swallow hard, finally collapsing on the bed.
The groom stepped forward and said, "You can't leave. Wait here. If the master doesn't get better, I'll settle the score with you!"
Xiangying turned and walked to the table and sat down, his posture was quiet and his face was cold.
"Of course I won't leave. I have to wait until Master Li gets better before I can rest assured, right?"
Xie Chen was packing his things in the camp with a sullen face.
The skinny monkey followed him and said, "Deputy General, don't you really care about your sister-in-law?"
Just after Xie Chen heard what General Ke said, he gave General Ke a severe scolding.
He was beaten to pieces by military law, blaming him for allowing Xiangying to stay alone with so many people.
However, after the fight, Xie Chen did not go to find Xiangying.
When the skinny monkey found him, Jie Chen just looked at him coldly.
"How can I find her? She is at the city garrison's house. Even if I go now, they won't let me take her away."
The skinny monkey was dejected and a little worried: "What should I do?"
"I heard that Lord Li was extremely cruel and brutal. After arriving in Mangzhou, he first killed 3,000 people from the Western Zhou Dynasty as a sacrifice to the heavens."
"After entering the city, he found that there were local wealthy families resisting, so he massacred half of the city. If the princess fell into his hands, how could she survive?"
Xie Chen didn't say anything, he pursed his thin lips tightly and his jawline was tense.
He glanced in the direction of the city and whispered, "Don't worry, wait until dark."
The skinny monkey looked up suddenly and understood.
"Deputy General, you still have a solution. I believe that the city garrison commander will not dare to kill the prisoners at will. We just need to delay it until night, and then we can propose conditions when he loses his patience."
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Chen said coldly, as if looking at a fool. "It's getting dark now, so it's time to take action."
The skinny monkey was stunned: "Ah?"
Xie Chen turned around and continued to pack his things: "Even if you have to snatch her back, you must snatch her back."
The skinny monkey immediately understood.
Listen, what a domineering sentence! Their deputy general is so in love!
"Go to the hillside and tell Lu Feiyi and the others to start packing. I'll bring Xiangying back in the evening and we'll set off overnight."
Xie Chen told the skinny monkey.
"Yes! I'll go right away." The skinny monkey ran up the hillside.
I happened to see Lu Feiyi and his men using the chopped down trees to carve wooden boards and put them together.
He wondered, “What is this for?”
Lu Feiyi patted the dust off his hands and said, "The boss asked us to make some windproof boards. What does the captain want to talk to us about?"
The skinny monkey didn't take it seriously and just said, "The deputy general is back. He asked you to pack your bags and set off when he brings the princess back."
Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Xiangying would be fine.
Dusk gradually spread across the evening sky.
Zhao Yushi knelt on the ground and turned her head to look inside the house.
Just now, servants kept coming in and out, but I didn't see Xiangying coming out, nor did I hear any sound of Lord Li cursing.
What's going on?
suddenly!
The tightly closed door was opened, and a servant was holding a copper basin, which was full of blood and something was squirming.
Zhao Yushi was startled.
Her first reaction was to think that Xiangying was killed?
