Chapter 3456: Extra Chapter 35
After Li Yi learned of Li Dan's death, his whole body collapsed. If Bai Shan hadn't said that he couldn't die yet, Zhou Man would not have been able to save him.
In order to keep him alive, Zhou Man could only give him acupuncture to make him fall asleep and give his body time to recover.
But after so many days, it has reached its limit.
But Li Yi didn't know.
Many people have a feeling before they die, and they probably know that their body has reached its limit, but some people are not aware of this.
Obviously, Li Yi is the one who is unaware.
When he woke up and saw Wu Yin, his eyes darkened. He didn't trust him, so he asked, "Wu Zhang, where are the chief steward and Wu Jin?"
Wu Yin glanced at him, turned around and went out to call the chief steward.
He is the chief witch of the tribe. Although he does not have much power, his status is not lower than that of the chief. The other party is about to die, so why should he care about him?
When Wu Jin came in and saw Chief Li's face, his heart sank. Although his medical skills were not as good as Wu Yin's, he had seen many people.
As a wizard, he had seen many people die, and he knew too well what it was like when a person was about to die.
Even the chief steward, who knew no medicine, thought that Li Yi was having a last gasp. Otherwise, how could someone who was unconscious a moment ago now have a rosy complexion and be energetic?
Li Yi unconsciously asked, "Have the people who followed the young chief returned? Who did it?"
He didn't believe the nonsense about encountering bandits. Where did the bandits from the Liaozi tribe come from to rob his son?
The chief steward said sadly, "Only one in ten of the people who followed the young chief survived, but we still managed to recover his body. The mourning hall is in the side yard. Would you like to go and see it, Chief?"
Li Yi clenched his fists slightly and asked, "Hasn't anyone figured out who did it yet?"
The chief steward shook his head.
Li Yi got angry and said, "What a bunch of idiots! It's been so long and they still haven't found anything..."
He paused here, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "The funeral hall has been set up. How long has it been?"
The chief steward lowered his head and said, "Eight days."
Li Yi was shocked, "How come it's been eight days?" Why didn't he feel anything?
The chief steward said sadly, "You have been in a coma for eight days."
Li Yi felt that he was in good health. With a look of disbelief on his face, he said in horror: "Did Wu Zhang do this to harm me? Didn't I tell you that when I'm sick, only Lord Zhou can see me..."
"That's not right," Li Yi muttered to himself again before the chief steward could speak. "Zhou Man is Zhang Wu's teacher. If Zhang Wu wanted to harm me, she might help."
Bai Shan was outside, and Zhou Man should be here soon. The chief steward didn't dare let him continue and said quickly, "Chief, Lord Zhou has been very dedicated these past few days. Thanks to Lord Zhou, you...your health has improved."
The chief steward said this reluctantly because he knew that Li Yi was having a last gasp.
But Li Yi didn't know that in his eyes, this behavior seemed to be a guilty conscience.
Li Yi felt cold all over, feeling that even the chief steward whom he trusted most had betrayed him.
He didn't dare to speak out, and asked calmly, "Where are Madam and Li Si?"
The chief steward hurriedly said, "Madam is in the courtyard below. Someone has been sent to call her. Miss will be back soon. Chief, please wait a little longer."
Chief Li fell silent and looked up at Wu Jin who was standing beside him.
If even the chief steward cannot be trusted, can Wu Jin be trusted?
After all, Wu Jin is Zhang Wu's elder brother. Although the two brothers have conflicts of interest, they may not necessarily refuse to cooperate.
Chief Li felt that no one could be trusted at this moment. He just wanted to see his wife and daughter as soon as possible, so he urged: "Go and invite the lady up, and also Li Si, ask her to come back."
The chief steward thought he was in a hurry to tell his last words, so he said hurriedly, "I will go and urge him right away."
Mrs. Li and Li Si had just arrived, and Chief Li looked at them eagerly. Before he could say anything, Zhou Man arrived.
As soon as she arrived, Bai Shan followed her in.
When facing these two people, Chief Li held back all the words in his heart and couldn't say them to Madam Li and Li Si.
Bai Shan pretended not to know his thoughts and vigilance, while Zhou Man looked curious, "What's wrong?"
No one in the room spoke.
The man was about to die, and even if it was to offer him warmth before his death, Zhou Man couldn't let Li Yi get too angry, so he said to Li Yi with a kind face: "Chief Li, are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Li Yi, who didn't feel hungry at first, was touched by Zhou Man and suddenly felt very hungry.
Zhou Man knew it at a glance and nodded slightly. It was normal for him to be hungry. He had been drowsy for the past eight days. He woke up a few times to eat, but all he ate was soup. How could he not be hungry?
Even if he wasn't hungry, he would be craving for food by now, so Zhou Man turned around and said to the servants, "Go to the kitchen and ask them to make Chief Li's favorite meal."
He also said to Chief Li: "Chief Li, just tell me what you want to eat and let the kitchen make it for you."
Chief Li swallowed his saliva, instinctively feeling that Zhou Man and Bai Shan wanted to kill him in order to seize power for Zhang Wu.
At this moment, he completely forgot what he had vowed to the chief steward some time ago, that for the sake of the stability of Dajin and Southern Xinjiang, the two of them would not stand on his side for Zhang Wu.
Zhou Man was an expert at reading people's expressions, but even so, she couldn't immediately understand the complex expression on Chief Li's face. She subconsciously stopped and asked hesitantly, "Why, did I say something wrong?"
Bai Shan took her hand and comforted her, "No, but Chief Li just woke up and I'm afraid he hasn't recovered yet."
He said, "So why don't we talk about the current situation? Chief Li doesn't have much time left."
Chief Li clutched the quilt tightly and looked at Bai Shan nervously. As expected, they were going to attack him.
But this is the Liaozi tribe, how dare they?
What about the warriors of his tribe?
Chief Li went to see the chief steward angrily. He had given all his confidants and power to him, but he turned out to be betrayed by him.
The chief steward looked at him in confusion.
Bai Shan pretended not to see his grim expression and said to Chief Li, "The chiefs of all the tribes are now in Annan City. When they came, they brought many warriors from their tribes with them. Li Dan is dead, and you have no heir. Have you thought about who will take over the Liaozi tribe?"
Li Yi struggled to his death and said, "Don't worry, Lord Bai. I am deeply favored by the emperor and will manage the Liaozi Department well."
He is not very old yet, so he can just take a few more concubines and have another child.
Bai Shan looked at him indifferently and turned to look at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man looked at him with sympathy. Although it was cruel, he still told him, "Chief Li, your illness... won't last much longer. If you have anything to say to your relatives and friends, please tell them immediately. Just order whatever you want to eat. The kitchen can make it for you."
Li Yi was stunned. How could this man be so shameless as to openly say he wanted to kill him? Wasn't he trying to cover it up?
In that case...
Li Yi's eyes sternly demanded, "Where are the warriors of my tribe? Someone wants to murder me. Come and protect me!"
