Chapter 3447: Extra Chapter 26
But she didn't expect Wu Yin to come back so soon. His face was gloomy. Facing Zhou Man's gaze, he lowered his head guiltily and hesitated for a long time before saying, "The chief is not in the mansion."
Zhou Man put down his pen and frowned, "He's really not here?"
Wu Yin didn't say anything.
Zhou Man understood that it was gone.
Zhou Man thought for a moment and then asked, "Can the chief steward see the chief?"
Wu Yin nodded.
Zhou Man: "Find him."
Wu Yin said, "I've already contacted him, but he doesn't believe the malaria has spread outside. Ever since the lady fell ill, the servants who served her haven't left the house. After it was confirmed to be malaria, the servants in this courtyard couldn't even leave the courtyard."
"He can lock up people, so how can he lock up mosquitoes?"
Wu Yin said helplessly, "He doesn't believe the disease is transmitted by mosquitoes. There aren't many other things in Southern Xinjiang, but there are the most mosquitoes. Who doesn't get bitten by mosquitoes a few times a year? And no one gets malaria."
Zhou Man: "You are a great witch."
Wu Yin lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then took a step forward, picked up the pen on the table and wrote on a piece of paper: "The chief may also be infected."
If it's infected, just treat it. Zhou Man blinked, then realized what was happening. She raised her eyes and looked at Wu Yin. After a while, she stood up and said, "You can remove the needle now. Go and remove the needle. Do you remember the order?"
Wu Yin was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Yes, I remember."
He turned around to pull out the needle, and Zhou Man watched behind him.
After he removed the needle, Zhou Man confirmed that the patient's condition was stable, and then said to Wu Yin, "Take me to see the room."
Wu Yin quickly agreed and took Zhou Man out personally.
A maid was about to follow, but Wu Yin stopped her, "I'll take care of this, you go down."
After all, he was a great wizard, and even if he could not meet the chief, he was still highly respected, so the maid stopped obediently.
Then Wu Yin saw Bai Shan sitting in the corner of the yard basking in the sun.
Wu Yin stopped and looked at him for a long time, speechless. Since there was no one around, he subconsciously bowed and saluted, "Master."
Bai Shan first glanced at Zhou Man, and seeing her standing beside him, she nodded and smiled, "It's Wu Yin, right? I heard Ziqian mention you."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yin looked at Zhou Man excitedly. He didn't expect that the master not only remembered him, but also mentioned him to Bai Xiang.
It's not safe here. After all, we are still in the lady's yard, and servants walk by from time to time not far away.
So Zhou Man asked, "Where do we live?"
Wu Yin quickly calmed down and took them to the room next to his. "Sir, Master, you guys can stay in this room. I'll stay next door. If you need anything, you can tell me."
Zhou Man and Bai Shan entered, looked around the room, and found that everything was there. Without closing the door, they sat at the table and talked to Wu Yin, but they deliberately turned their backs to the door.
Zhou Man got straight to the point. "Is anyone from the Liaozi tribe planning another rebellion? Otherwise, why would the chieftain be hiding from us?"
Wu Yin said helplessly: "Sir, I don't know."
He paused and said, "But it's normal for the chief to have such doubts. The tribe that Chief Li belongs to was originally the chief, and was the first great chief appointed by the court. But when his father was alive, due to some grievances between his father and his mother's tribe, the Zhang family seized the power of the tribal leader and drove their tribe out..."
"Wait a minute, Chief Zhang is..."
"He's Chief Li's cousin, and Chief Lao Zhang is Chief Li's uncle." Such power shifts were common in the Liaozi tribe, and Wu Yin was not surprised. "Chief Li returned and seized the leadership of the larger tribe, so naturally he was elected chief by the other tribes."
"However, the chief can't kill all the tribesmen who once opposed him. Besides the main tribe, there are two other tribes with many warriors and abundant wealth. They also want to be chiefs," Wu Yin said. "No one knows whether any of them are planning to rebel."
Bai Shan was surprised. "You are a great wizard, and you don't have any news at all?"
Wu Yin said frankly, "I'm only good at medicine. In the big tribe, I can only treat illnesses. Sacrifices and prayers are not very effective. In the past two years, when there are sacrifices and prayers, the chief has asked Wu Jin to do it."
He sighed. Now that things have come to this, he might as well make things clear. After all, this matter is no secret in the Liaozi tribe. With the abilities of the teacher and the master, even if they don't know it now, they will know it in a few days.
"A witch needs to be someone who is smart and clear-minded, and has a good family background. My family was one of the most wealthy families in the tribe back then."
Zhou Man pretended to listen attentively.
"The person chosen to be the wizard's disciple is my brother."
Bai Shan remembered something and asked uncertainly, "Wu Jin?"
Wu Yin paused and asked, "How did Master know?"
Bai Shan paused and said, "Maybe it's because of your names that I paid more attention to you."
After all, it's exactly the same name as his father-in-law and younger father-in-law, except for the surname, of course.
Wu Yin didn't know this and continued, "But my father died in a battle, and my mother remarried, so I had no choice but to live with my brother."
He said, "My brother was the most favored disciple of the Great Shaman. He lived with the Shaman, and I learned some of his skills. When the tribe rebelled, the Great Shaman sided with Chief Lao Zhang. My brother thought this was immoral, and in anger, he and some of his fellow tribesmen left the tribe and formed a new tribe."
Wu Yin said: "I was left in the big tribe."
"Later, the tribe had to pay tribute to the Celestial Empire, and I was chosen to accompany the delegation north. I didn't expect the master to show mercy and choose someone from my Liaozi tribe to stay and study medicine. Because I had followed the great witch for several years and was given the surname Wu, I was chosen to stay."
Zhou Man listened with great interest, "What happened next?"
"My teacher and my master should know what happened later. After I finished my studies, I came back and because of my good medical skills, I was gradually given important positions. Chief Zhang was sick at the time, and I saved him."
Wu Yin said, "He has always been resentful of the Grand Wizard's support for his rebellion. He feels that the Grand Wizard's power and prestige are too great, which is not good. Furthermore, at that time, the Celestial Empire was launching an expedition to the East because of the disrespect of the vassal states. The vassal states and vassal states were eager to show their loyalty to the Celestial Empire. So, he chose me, who had studied abroad in the capital, to be the Grand Wizard."
Wu Yin said with self-awareness, "I'm just good at medicine, but I haven't mastered the art of sacrifice and blessing. That's why Chief Li has been wanting to merge my brother's small tribe back with him and invite him to be the chief witch."
"But there are many tribal leaders who have the same plan as Chief Li. I don't know how many of them are sincere, and how many of them want to obtain the true teachings of the Great Shaman and then rule the entire Liaozi tribe."
"That is to say, Chief Li cannot completely control the Liaozi tribe, otherwise why would he want to rely on Wu Jin's power?"
If he really had complete control, he should have done the same as Chief Lao Zhang and found ways to weaken the power and prestige of the Great Witch.
Wu Yin remained silent.
After listening to the story, Zhou Man brought the topic back to the topic, "If malaria can't be effectively controlled, even if they win the position of chief, they will inherit a tribe that has suffered heavy losses. What's the point?"
Bai Shan was thinking, "If that's the case, the Liaozi tribe is in great danger now."
Conflicts and bloodshed could occur at any time. If Zhou Man and Mingda stayed here, they would likely be attacked, their identities would be exposed, and they might even become targets.
Bai Shan frowned and asked, "Chief Li is in the mansion now, right? I want to see him."
See you tomorrow
