Fortunately, he escaped quickly, and Li Ruo's oil and Xu Dafu's naval forces soon captured one of his ships.
But at this moment, Yang Huan also arrived with his men to meet the Prince of Jiangning.
Knowing he couldn't linger in battle, Li Ruoxin ordered his men to fire arrows as he retreated. The arrows rained down like locusts, flying in as if they were free. With the Prince of Jiangning injured, Yang Huan was also unable to pursue them any further.
Everyone was overjoyed to have hijacked one of the Prince of Jiangning's ships.
"Well done, Dafu," Li Ruo said after shaking off Yang Huan.
Xu Dafu grumbled, "You're really lucky to have such a talented person like this.
Li Ruo said, "Without a discerning eye, where would a fine horse come from? Fine horses are common, but discerning eyes are rare."
"Tch!" Xu Dafu retorted. "A thoroughbred horse is right there; does it not become a thoroughbred horse just because it lacks a discerning eye?"
Li Ruo didn't engage in a verbal battle with him. After retreating ten miles away and seeing that Yang Huan was no longer pursuing them, she told Xu Dafu to stop the boat and stay where it was, in case Xie Xiao and the others were intercepted by Yang Huan on their return journey.
Xu Dafu suddenly felt a little envious: This girl is so good to Xie Xiao, why didn't he meet a girl like that?
After another hour, as it was getting dark and the woman was practically a statue waiting for her husband, Yang Huahua couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ruo, why don't we go to Xuzhou to take a look?"
Yang Huahua thought the girl must be very worried, but she didn't show it on her face.
“I’m not going,” Li Ruo said.
Just then, the lookout, Guazi, returned. "Boss, there are two boats ahead, one big and one small, moving very fast. I wonder if they belong to Chief Xie."
Li Ruo's hands trembled slightly when he snatched the binoculars. Upon closer inspection, he confirmed that it was indeed Black Wind Stronghold. "Quickly, move closer."
When the two ships met, Li Ruo jumped onto the Black Wind Stronghold's ship faster than anyone else, but Xie Xiao was nowhere to be seen.
Little Li and several brothers ran out, "Sister Ruo, the Fourth Master is seriously injured."
Li Ruo's question, "Where's your boss?" got stuck in her throat.
She ran into the cabin and saw a woman sitting next to the fourth leader, giving him acupuncture.
Li Ruo recognized her. Although the medicine was no longer on her face, it was Guan Siyu. "How is Fourth Master?"
The fourth leader was unconscious, his face pale and his body covered in blood; he was a pitiful sight.
Guan Siyu's face still bore traces of tears: "His life has been saved for now, but he lost too much blood, and we don't know when he will wake up."
It should be said that he himself seemed unwilling to wake up.
Little Li's eyes were red: "Dozens of the brothers who went with the Fourth Master died. When Miss Guan was stopping his bleeding, he said not to save him, but to make him pay for the brothers' lives."
Li Ruo glanced at it and walked away. When she returned, she had a pile of things in her hands, including hemostatic drugs, antibiotics, and so on.
Guan Siyu was both shocked and delighted to see her skillfully applying medicine, bandaging, and stitching up the fourth leader's wounds. "Miss, you know medicine?"
"I don't know how. I only know how to treat simple wounds." Li Ruo had many questions for her, but it was clearly not the right time. "Take good care of the Fourth Master."
There were still many wounded people in the cabin. Li Ruo also gave them a lot of medicine and asked Yang Huahua, Xu Dafu and others to help take care of them. Then she grabbed Xiao Lizi and asked, "Where is Xie Xiao? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Xiao Li said, "The chief is fine, just a minor injury. He told us to bring the wounded back first, while he and the other half of the men continue to plunder the grain and fodder from the granary."
Li Ruo breathed a slight sigh of relief. "We'll discuss it in detail when we get back." She then turned around and helped treat the wounded.
There are many wounded, and we must return to the village immediately.
Li Ruo ordered Chen He to lead 3,000 men to stay on the water to support Xie Xiao, just in case. He himself returned to General Mountain with the boat carrying the wounded, and it was already late at night.
When Liao Fusheng and the third leader saw the fourth leader and the wounded, their eyes turned red. After settling the wounded and boiling herbs, they worked for a long time until dawn.
The fourth leader is still unconscious.
Xie Ying, the Third Master, Uncle Luo, Ye Ling'er and others all came. Xie Ying's eyes were red from crying. "How could the Fourth Master be so impulsive? He dared to go to Xuzhou with only a few hundred men."
Ye Ling'er said, "I don't know what triggered him. Fourth Master is impulsive, but not to this extent. Brother Xiao dislikes everyone acting on their own. He knows that. Uncle Zhong's incident is a case in point."
Li Ruo felt that what she said made sense.
After feeding the medicine to the Fourth Master, Guan Siyu said, "That day I was in the pigsty and I think I saw the Fourth Master arguing with someone, but I was far away and I couldn't see clearly. Afterwards, I went to find the Fourth Master and found that he was no longer there, and his big knife was also gone. I felt very uneasy, so I went to find Ling'er."
Ye Ling'er said, "I discovered that several other brothers also disappeared with Fourth Brother. They usually listen to Fourth Brother very well, so I told Brother Xiao. When Brother Xiao asked, he found out that Fourth Brother had actually stolen a large ship and taken people to Xuzhou."
"The chief originally wanted to go to Xuzhou two days later because the planning takes time, especially with General Zhao, but because of the fourth chief, he had to go earlier."
We split into two groups. One group, led by General Zhao, attacked the soldiers of the Prince of Jiangning who were besieging the Fourth Master. The other group, led by the eldest brother, confronted the Prince of Jiangning head-on.
But General Zhao's boat wasn't fast enough and arrived a bit late. Many of the brothers brought by the Fourth Leader were hit by arrows and were ambushed. The Fourth Leader was also captured. "Little Li's voice choked as he thought of the scene of the Fourth Leader being stabbed.
The third leader looked at Li Ruo, whose expression was tense, and said, "Girl, you see, there's a reason why the boss didn't take you."
Li Ruo asked, "How did you escape danger later?"
Little Li looked at Guan Siyu, still somewhat incredulous, "So Miss Guan, oh, I should call her Miss Mu, is actually the daughter of the Marquis of Xinyang!"
