Chapter 89 You People Are Crazy
Xiangying and Jiechen rushed to the military doctor's room with their men.
Sure enough, all the medicine boxes were empty.
Even the sachet that Xiangying had prepared was taken away by him.
Those were clearly prepared for prisoners who had contracted the plague.
Xie Chen turned around and asked the skinny monkey: "How long has he been gone?"
"I don't know! Just now when I was on patrol, I passed by the room where Fang Gan was imprisoned and heard him shouting that our people quietly released the boat and ran away."
"I went to check the boats beside the ship and found one was missing. I also found the doctor's door was half open. I pushed it open and saw that he was gone!"
Xie Chen pursed his lips and his jawline was tense.
Scarface stood beside him and roared, "He ran away and took all our medicine with him. He has no intention of leaving us alive!"
Xiangying rummaged through the cabinet and found that everything was gone.
Although she had not put her own private goods into the medicine, the military doctor's behavior was really annoying.
Xie Chen strode onto the deck, and the soldiers stood beside him, holding torches.
But there was no trace of the small boat on the vast river.
Xie Chen said coldly: "Arrange people to chase them and find them back."
At this time, Xiangying's voice came from behind: "No need, let him go."
Xie Chen looked back and saw Xiang Ying walking towards him.
In the night, the river breeze blew the black hair around her fair cheeks, and her phoenix eyes were filled with a calm temperament.
"I can cure the patient without his medicine. We are short of manpower now, so don't send them out to chase people."
Xie Chen looked at her and asked in a low voice: "How sure are you?"
Xiangying smiled for a moment: "Confidence is a hundred times greater."
Concubine Shangguan and the others saw the bright light of torches outside and the hurried footsteps of soldiers walking across the deck.
Something must have happened.
The old concubine arranged for someone to put his ear against the door to listen to the noise outside.
"How is it? Did you hear it?" asked Concubine Shangguan.
The man had a horrified look on his face and lowered his voice: "I heard the soldiers outside talking about it. It seems that the military doctor ran away with the medicine!"
Upon hearing this, the others fell into great panic.
"It's over, it's over. The medicine is gone. Are we really dead?"
"The plague is incurable. What's the use of medicine?"
"It must be Xiangying who boasted just to show off. The military doctor is not a fool. He knows he can't cure the patient, so why doesn't he run away? Otherwise, when the higher-ups blame him, he will be the one who will be in trouble." Concubine Shangguan slapped her knees and said heavily.
"That's right. Xiangying herself is barefoot and is not afraid of those who wear shoes, but she did this and hurt us. It's really hateful!"
The more people talked about it, the more unwilling they became.
I wish I could pull Xiangying over right now and question him clearly.
Concubine Shangguan frowned and looked at the weak Concubine Liu beside her with a gloomy look.
"Let's not wait any longer, let's do it tonight!"
Xiangying returned to the cabin and rested with Jiechen.
A moment later, the patrolling scar-faced man saw the soldier guarding the bottom of the cabin running hurriedly.
"Scar, that Concubine Liu doesn't seem to be well. The people inside just shouted that she was out of breath. I don't know if she is dead. Let's send someone to check."
The soldier hesitated: "Should we go and tell Jie Jianjun and the others?"
Scarface thought for a moment and said, "The Princess and Military Supervisor Jie have just gone back to rest. Their health is more important now and they cannot be exhausted. I will go check on the situation first."
He followed the soldiers to the outside of the cabin, and after opening the door, he saw Concubine Liu lying alone in the corner.
The rest of the people sat in different positions.
As soon as they saw Scarface, they looked at each other secretly.
Concubine Shangguan raised her head, meaning: It doesn’t matter if Xiangying is not coming, just proceed as planned!
Scarface didn't notice the subtle expressions of these people and walked quickly to Concubine Liu.
He first tried to feel Concubine Liu's breath. Although she was not dead, her breath was very weak.
There were several obvious footprints on her clothes.
Scarface frowned and turned around to ask, "Who kicked her?"
Miss Zheng Er covered her nose and said, "We have all the old, weak, and disabled people here. We don't even have time to recover from illness. Who has the mood to bully her?"
"That's right!" someone shouted, "We are not feeling well and need to take medicine. Send someone to bring us medicine quickly."
Scarface yelled angrily: "What are you going to eat? Even if it's shit, you have to wait for me!"
After being scolded by him like this, Concubine Liu woke up.
She turned her tired and confused eyes and saw Scarface.
Suddenly, Concubine Liu said in a panic, "Doudou'er, why didn't you leave? Hurry up and leave. They are planning to kidnap Xiangying and threaten the military supervisor to give them drugs. They are all sick. Don't let them hurt you. Hurry up and leave!"
Scarface turned around suddenly, his eyes gleaming with ferocity: "How dare you!"
Before he could finish his words, Concubine Shangguan and her group had already risen up in resistance.
I don’t know who sprinkled a handful of powder, which fell into Scarface’s eyes and caused stinging!
The others slammed the door shut, and the soldiers outside were about to come in but were blocked outside.
When he tried to break in, the door was blocked by a piece of wood.
"Open the door! Open the door quickly!" The soldiers knocked on the door and shouted, but these people acted like crazy.
They shouted, "Go and ask Xiangying to come to us and prepare a boat for us to go!"
"Otherwise, we'll just beat this captain to death! We've all got the plague and we're all going to die anyway, so it's nice to have someone take the blame for us!"
Scarface's vision was blocked and he waved his fists around, but he was held down by two sturdy men.
Concubine Shangguan immediately said, "There is a rope behind the wooden box, tie him up!"
Concubine Liu rushed over to stop him: "Don't hit my Doudou, don't, ah——!"
She screamed because Miss Zheng kicked her in the stomach.
Scarface was not afraid, because everyone on this ship was theirs.
When Jie Chen and Xiang Ying arrive, these people will never succeed and no one will be able to escape.
Scarface's hands and feet were tied up and he fell to the ground. His eyes were bloodshot and red from the irritation of the powder.
He watched Miss Zheng Er kicking Concubine Liu on the head again and again, his eyes widened with anger and veins bulging.
"Stop! Stop it now! She is from the Western Zhou Dynasty just like you. Why are you doing this to her?"
Concubine Shangguan sneered: "What Western Zhou people? The Western Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed. She is so nice to you, she must be from Nanyue! We should beat her, who asked her to inform on us?"
She really underestimated this old lunatic and thought that she didn't hear their discussion, but she didn't expect that Concubine Liu heard everything.
Scarface roared: "Have you ever thought that a few days ago you were almost dying and had no strength at all."
"But now you can speak with full energy and even dare to fight me. This is because the medicine the princess gave you has taken effect!"
"The plague is not incurable. If you guys make such a fuss, you won't get any medicine!"
The soldiers outside have begun to bang on the door.
Concubine Shangguan's eyes darkened, revealing a bit of madness before death.
"Kill him," she ordered. "Since we are doomed to die, let's get out! We are sick, and as soon as they open the door, we will rush out and infect everyone with the plague. No one will be able to escape!"
The update time will return to normal tomorrow~ I had a lot of fun today, and I don’t want to go back to my old ways haha
