"His internal injuries are too serious, and there is a lot of blood in his stomach. We have to find a way to get the blood clots out of his stomach, otherwise his internal organs will not heal and will slowly fail. In the end, even God can't save him." Jingxin pressed Black Hawk's stomach several times, and his brows were frowned more and more tightly.
"How do I clear this? Can I just spit it out?" Chen Qiu looked at Black Hawk lying there. Black Hawk was the kind of person who was not fat but looked fleshy, at least not as skinny as he is now.
"I need your help. I need hot water, and a few of you who have strong internal energy. You have to take turns to transfer your internal energy to him until I clear the blood clots for him." As soon as Jingxin finished speaking, Jixiang ran to boil water. Xiao Mu, Lu Chenyuan and Shen Qiu transferred their internal energy to Black Hawk for protection.
Jingxin fed Black Hawk a thumb-sized pill with strong liquor, hot water, and the best gold wound medicine. She lifted Black Hawk's chin with force, and his throat rolled. Jingxin breathed a sigh of relief, "If he can swallow it and clear the blood clots, I have an 80% chance of saving him."
Black Hawk's injured leg was temporarily lowered, and everyone helped him sit down. Jingxin took out a bamboo tube that was about a foot long and said, "Okay, start transferring Qi to him."
Lu Chenyuan was the first to begin, while Chen Qiu and Xiao Mu waited behind. Jingxin, eyes closed, fumbled with Black Hawk's belly. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and stabbed the wound with the knife in her hand. Then, she quickly placed the bamboo tube over the wound and tugged hard on the string at the end. The tube slid out a long way, and Jingxin removed it and poured it into a nearby basin of water, which contained several black clots of blood. All the movements were done in one go; in just two or three breaths, Jingxin was already applying medicine to the wound.
Then Jing Xin closed her eyes and began to touch Black Hawk's belly. When even Xiao Mu began to lose his strength, Jing Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, it's okay. Leave the rest to me."
The three most powerful fighters had consumed a lot of their strength. Chen Qiu asked Jingxin for a lot of powdered poison, which could be used to ward off a lot of enemies in case of an attack.
Chen Qiu and the other three went to their own rooms to regulate their breathing. Jingxin prescribed them some medicine that could help them recover quickly.
After a busy afternoon, Jingxin and Jixiang were at Xing'er and Heiying's place, while Chen Qiu was meditating, regulating her breathing using the method taught by Bai Li. She was quiet and motionless until the sound of the stick rang out at midnight, and a lot of people began to enter the yard outside.
Chen Qiu suddenly opened his eyes and handed the poison he had asked Jingxin for to Ye Chen. "Jingxin said that this poison will kill anyone who touches it. You stay in the room and don't come out. If someone comes in and I don't come in time, you can sprinkle this on him. Our people should also be careful."
"Be careful, don't get hurt!" Ye Chen held Chen Qiu's hand tightly. He couldn't help with things like fighting, so he could only prevent Chen Qiu from being distracted. He just did whatever she said.
After Chen Qiu settled Ye Chen, he heard the sound of fighting outside. Chen Qiu pulled out the soft sword from his waist and went out. "It looks like they are going out in full force?" Lu Chenyuan came over and stood back to back with Chen Qiu. People in the yard fell down in groups and then came in again.
"Brother Lu, go to a higher place and see how many people have come?" Chen Qiu shouted while beating.
Lu Chenyuan took a deep breath and jumped up. Standing on the roof, his vision was not very good without the moon, but he could still make out that their yard was almost surrounded by people. "It seems that we have been exposed, or maybe there is a traitor." Lu Chenyuan thought so, then took out his signal fireworks and released them.
"You sent out a signal? How many people are there?" Chen Qiu approached Lu Chenyuan. Their internal energy was severely depleted and they could not hold on for long. There was a cut on Chen Qiu's arm.
"There are so many people outside. No matter how many people die inside, more people will come in from outside. It seems that they know we are injured and they want to work us to death." Lu Chenyuan gritted his teeth in anger. It was really humiliating to be trapped in a yard like this, and there were two people inside who could not be moved.
"How long will it take for the Silver Armor Army to arrive?"
"Two quarters of an hour. We only need to hold on for two quarters of an hour."
There are only eight left out of the ten Black Cloud Guards. They are all top-notch masters, but they can't hold on under such a round-the-clock battle.
The people who came tried every possible means. While Chen Qiu and the others were fighting, they even sprinkled poison. Some of them shot arrows at the courtyard wall. In the end, the Black Cloud Guards had to come out to watch out for these people who shot arrows.
Several people who had originally been in the yard had died. Lu Chenyuan and Xiao Mu were both injured, but they could not use their internal energy and could only rely on physical strength.
Chen Qiu and Lu Chenyuan were hit by swords one after another. Chen Qiu was hit by a cold arrow on the back. She was not injured because she was wearing gold silk soft armor, but her left arm was cut twice and she lost a lot of blood.
Although it was only a quarter of an hour, they still held on with great difficulty. When the Silver Armored Army rushed in, each of them was in a miserable state.
Ye Chen came out of the house and saw Chen Qiu sitting on the ground, covering the wound on his arm with his hand, and his hair was messy. Ye Chen was in a trance, as if he saw the way Chen Qiu saved him in his previous life. Before he was sent out by Chen Qiu, Chen Qiu had injured his left arm.
Ye Chen took Chen Qiu into his arms and said, "I'll apply medicine for you. Come, Qiu'er, I'll apply medicine for you." As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms tremblingly and was about to apply medicine to Chen Qiu.
"Husband, I'm fine, just two small cuts, husband?" Ye Chen's eyes were red, and he just muttered while applying medicine to Chen Qiu.
Chen Qiu was anxious and grabbed Ye Chen's hands. "Husband, look at me. I'm really fine. I'll just ask Jingxin to apply some medicine. Really!"
Ye Chen then looked into Chen Qiu's eyes, "They all deserve to die, Fu Xia, I will skin you alive!" Ye Chen hated it so much.
Jingxin came out to apply medicine to them. Torches were lit in the yard. Those who participated in the fight in the yard were either killed directly or had minor injuries like Chen Qiu and the others, and the treatment was not difficult.
After Jingxin bandaged all these people, Ye Chen and Lu Chenyuan finished discussing things, "Let's go to the prefectural government now!" Ye Chen went into the house to change into his official uniform, and quietly slipped out from the back door alone. He was beheaded by the Silver Armored Army and thrown back into the yard.
"It seems that this is the traitor here."
"Miss Jingxin, can Black Hawk and the others move? We need to go to the county government office. It's no longer safe here."
"Yes, there will be no problem as long as there are no major bumps." Jingxin answered truthfully.
Three hundred silver-armored soldiers came over, almost each holding a torch, and instantly lit up the small courtyard as bright as day. Two carriages were in the middle, and fifty silver-armored soldiers were leading the way, marching towards the prefectural government in a mighty procession.
When they arrived at the prefectural government, the Silver Armored Army went forward and beat the drum of grievance. The people who came out of the military camp had great strength in their hands, and they beat the drum of grievance loudly. They kept beating it until no one came out.
Finally, someone came out cursing, "Who is it? Don't you want to live in the middle of the night?" With a "creak", the door of the prefectural government office was opened. The man was still cursing, "Where did you come from..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly became much more sober.
"This... this..." He began to tremble as he spoke. He had never seen such a big scene in his life. The prefect almost had to go through this when he went out.
"Go and tell your prefect that the governor and the Prince of Zhennan have arrived, and have him come out to greet them."
"Yes, yes," the man agreed and stumbled back.
"Let's go in and wait for the prefect." Ye Chen's voice came from the carriage, and then he and Shen Qiu got out of the carriage.
Black Hawk and Xing'er were carried out of another carriage, with Jingxin and Jixiang always by their side.
After entering the yamen, Ye Chen sat directly behind the desk. Lu Chenyuan moved a chair and sat next to him. Xiao Mu also found a chair and sat down under the stage. He was really tired after fighting all night.
Ye Chen pulled Chen Qiu into his arms and sat her on his lap. Normally, this was a fun thing to do in their boudoir at home, but now that they were outside, Chen Qiu was naturally embarrassed. She pushed herself to stand up several times but she didn't get up, and her left hand had no strength.
"I'll just find a chair to sit on. It's embarrassing to let go." Chen Qiu said in a low voice. Ye Chen glanced at the person standing there. He only wanted Qiu'er to rest and forgot that there was someone else there, so he let go again.
Behind the desk was a small meeting room with some chairs. Chen Qiu simply moved them over and everyone sat down. As for the chairs of Black Hawk and Xing'er, which were carried on wooden boards and covered with thick mattresses, they were placed directly on the ground.
When Yin Peirong, the magistrate of Wuzhou, came out, his office had been occupied. The constables who rushed over from his own county office were stopped outside, and the torches illuminated the courtyard where his office was located.
Yin Peirong stepped forward and raised his hand to bow to Ye Chen. Ye Chen looked at this fox, his teeth chattering. This Yin Peirong had arrived in Wuzhou as the prefect so many years earlier than in his previous life? Ye Chen was reborn, and he didn't expect that the events of his previous life would be beyond his expectations. In his previous life, Yin Peirong should have arrived in Wuzhou three years later, so why was he here so early this time?
"Your humble servant, Yin Peirong, the prefect of Wuzhou, pays respect to you, Your Excellency."
"I wonder where all the constables in your yamen, Lord Yin, have gone? There should be more than just these constables in this prefectural yamen, right?" Ye Chen said as he turned his head to glance at the constables who were blocked outside.
"Oh, they are all patrolling outside. Wuzhou has a curfew after the hour of Hai." Yin Peirong explained.
"Oh? That's what a coincidence. I was besieged as soon as I entered the city today, but I didn't see a single constable. Also, the sound of the drum of complaint just now must have been heard by half of Wuzhou, right? But except for these few who have been in the county government office, no one has come back!" Ye Chen looked at Yin Peirong who was standing below without blinking.
Ye Chen waved his hands, and the Silver Armored Army carried nearly forty corpses and placed them one by one in the open space in the yard. "Come here, ask those detective brothers to check and see if they know anyone. If they do, notify their families and ask them to claim the bodies. Don't worry, the harm will not affect their wives and children. I will not punish their families. Let them claim the bodies without worry."
Then the black scarves on the faces of those who were originally masked were torn off one by one, and the constables standing there were asked to identify them.
One of them looked at the person lying on the ground and exclaimed softly, but was stopped calmly by the people next to him, "Do you know him?" Their little action did not escape the attention of the silver-armored soldiers who were watching them.
"No, we don't know him!" The two of them waved their hands to deny it.
"Think it over first. The Silver Armor Army is the newly trained soldiers of the King of Zhennan. They don't have much patience." Ye Chen sat up there and spoke slowly.
As soon as the words fell, the person who had spoken first knelt down and said, "I know them, I know them. Half of the people here are constables from the yamen."
"Oh? Interesting. Constables aren't patrolling, but are acting as assassins. I'm new here, and I really don't know what I did to offend these people. They probably don't have any deep hatred against me, Ye, right? Why would they want to fight to the death with me? Prefect Yin, tell me why this is happening?"
Yin Peirong had been thinking with his head down, showing no sign of uneasiness or panic. Yin Peirong pondered for a long time before speaking, "I'm sorry to have frightened Your Excellency. I really don't know what happened." Yin Peirong intended to deny it to the end.
If he met an honest official, or someone who was afraid of impeachment by those in the court, there would be no way to deal with someone like Yin Peirong who refused to admit his mistakes without evidence. However, Ye Chen was not afraid of impeachment, nor was he afraid of having no evidence.
"Oh, Master Yin, are you planning to deny it?"
"Lord Ye, do you still want to force a confession under torture?" Yin Peirong sneered, not taking Ye Chen seriously at all.
Ye Chen can be sure that Yin Peirong is Fuxia's man, not only because of the memories of his previous life, but also because the facts before him are enough to prove that Yin Peirong is not simple.
"No, but~" Ye Chen stretched out his voice, paused and continued: "But, I don't need evidence, just kill him directly!" As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the token in his hand out.
The Silver-Armored Army received Lu Chenyuan's signal when they came in, and they had to obey Ye Chen in everything in the yamen. As soon as the token in Ye Chen's hand fell to the ground, the Silver-Armored Army's knife rushed towards Yin Peirong's neck.
But he didn't expect that Yin Peirong dodged it easily, "Oh, he's a martial artist!" Xiao Mu drank a sip of tea and watched the fun calmly. With the Silver Armored Army around them, there was naturally no need for him to take action.
When the Silver Armor Army was training, Lu Chenyuan did not train like ordinary soldiers. In terms of military orders, the Silver Armor Army followed them 100%. In terms of tactics, apart from the formation, the only thing they cared about was winning, and they did not care about the method. Of course, not harming the civilians was the bottom line.
Yin Peirong was quite skilled, and the Silver-Armored Army was naturally not weaker. The Silver-Armored Army still fought in groups, but Yin Peirong was pinned to the ground in a few breaths. The previous Silver-Armored Army soldier did not ask Ye Chen what to do. After all, it was because he had dodged when he was about to be killed that this happened. Now this man was already on the ground. He raised his sword and Yin Peirong lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, and blood was constantly flowing from his neck.
Afterwards, the Silver Armor Army received orders to search the backyard, and Yin Peirong's family members were thrown into jail. Fortunately, there were only three concubines, who were probably all under Fu Xia's command.
"No wonder Fu Xia started a rebellion in Wuzhou in the last life. It's not just because their treasure is here, but also because the whole city is in their hands." Ye Chen thought that the road ahead in Wuzhou would be even more difficult.
