Chapter 67 The Demon Exorcist is not exorcising demons (27)
"Reporting to Princess Wenzhu... The City Lord is depressed and angry. Although he occasionally wakes up from his coma, he keeps mumbling and cannot hold a normal conversation. I estimate that he will need at least a month of recuperation before he can recover..."
After listening to the doctor's report, Princess Wenzhu closed her eyes, frowned, and nodded slightly.
The doctor saw this and bowed, "Then I will withdraw and go get the medicine."
"Wait." Princess Wenzhu stopped him. "When I was unconscious before, you were also responsible for taking care of me, right?"
"Indeed...it is indeed small..."
The doctor had something to hide, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.
Princess Wenzhu was too lazy to argue with such a small character: "Stand up and speak."
"Yes... Thank you Princess Wenzhu for your kindness!"
"Just tell me honestly...how much time do I have left?"
"This? This..." The doctor was frightened again and his knees stuck back to the ground.
"Don't hesitate, tell the truth."
The doctor took a deep breath and said cautiously, "According to my medical skills, I will use herbal medicine every day for about two to three months, and no more than half a year..."
"I understand. You can go down now. Take good care of the city lord. His medicine cannot be passed to outsiders."
"yes!"
After Princess Wenzhu called the doctor away, she asked someone to bring her a mirror.
She looked into the brass mirror, touched the drooping bags under her eyes and the gray-green age spots around her ears, and felt worried.
Is it true that the hundreds of years of foundation of Huitou Village will be destroyed in this generation?
…
"Release him! Release the General!"
"Why are you detaining our Lord? Let him come out and take charge of the affairs!!"
"Princess Wenzhu is plotting to take the throne! Go in and beat that witch to death!!"
Outside the Bu residence, a group of Bu Yuchuan's retainers and supporters gathered and asked Shi Sui for the person.
Five days.
Five days had passed since Bu Yuchuan was brought back by him and paraded through the streets.
In recent days, several factions of troops in Huitou Village have been acting independently and running rampant in the city, causing the people to panic and dare not go out.
Fortunately, Shi Sui was in charge of the Bu residence, and the soldiers obeyed her command, so the generals under Bu Yuchuan did not succeed.
Shi Sui had a chair brought to her and sat at the door of Bu's house. She released a few scorpion spirits, killing one at a time and a pair at a time, and drove away all the flies that were shouting and clamoring.
Princess Wenzhu was weak and had no extra energy to manage the mess in Huitou Village. She had a very hard time sleeping and eating for the past five days.
Shi Sui calculated that the main force coming to attack Bu Yuchuan was about to arrive...
"Report—the sentries ahead are reporting that an unknown force is approaching two miles away! They're fully equipped, with chariots and cavalry. A conservative estimate is over two thousand strong, and support is urgently needed!"
When Bu Yuchuan's subordinates learned of the battle report, they used it as an excuse to threaten Shi Sui to release their "General".
"Other cities must have heard about the unrest in Huitou Village and wanted to come and take advantage! The enemy is right before our eyes! If the generals don't go out to fight, the people of Huitou Village will be caught up in the flames of war! The army cannot be without a leader for a day. Now is not the time to worry about who will sit on the throne of the city lord. We must first ensure the safety of the people!"
What an inflammatory speech!
The opponent's retainers presented a series of long-winded arguments, trying to force Shisui to surrender through a war of public opinion.
Shi Sui smiled. "Okay, I'll show you how majestic your general is now!"
"Then it's as you wish. Come on! Pull General Bu to the front line. We'll rely on him to defend against the enemy!"
She ordered the guards to take Bu Yuchuan and the big iron cage together, and once again pulled him onto Huitou Village's widest and most eye-catching walkway out of the city.
Those supporters who expected him to wear military uniform, hold a sword, and charge into battle heroically on horseback were all dumbfounded.
Bu Yuchuan had been hungry for these days, his cheeks had become thinner, his face had a vegetable green color, and he looked as withered as a shriveled yellow leaf. His eyes were closed weakly, and he slept curled up at the bottom of the cage, motionless.
If he had not heard the noisy noises on the street and opened his eyes with difficulty, he would probably have thought he was dead.
"General! General!"
The soldiers under his command called out to him anxiously, but Bu Yuchuan no longer had the strength to respond.
The cage was pulled to the gate of Huitou Village.
Shi Sui rode on a camel, waiting for the arrival of the army.
Not long after, amidst waves of rolling sand, the enemy's vanguard arrived.
Elite soldiers lined up at the city gate, and they immediately hoisted flags. The emblem on the flags was exactly Bai's mother's home - Dayan City!
Shi Sui had Bu Yuchuan pushed out again and placed in the center of the battlefield.
The commander of Dayan City also showed up soon.
The person who came was Bai's biological brother.
After receiving the letter for help from the Bai family sent by the Nine Cloud Fox Demon, he summoned the army overnight at his father's instruction and rushed here without stopping day and night.
But as soon as I arrived outside Huitou Village, I saw a dirty man locked in a huge iron cage. To be honest, I was quite confused.
And judging from Tokiho's attire... is she a demon hunter?!
Brother Bai reined in his horse and drew his sword: "I came to retrieve Bai, who was bullied by your General Bu, and yet you brought out a cage. What kind of drama are you playing?"
Tokiho asked back, "General Bai, can't you recognize the person in the cage?"
Brother Bai then took a closer look at the person in the cage. He was dressed in rags, with disheveled hair and a dirty face...
"Is this Bu Yuchuan?!" Brother Bai was shocked. "Is it really him?"
Shi Sui clapped her hands and had the city gate opened a little.
A sedan chair was carried out from inside.
As soon as the curtain of the sedan chair was opened, the pregnant Bai came out holding her daughter who was less than one year old, supported by servants.
"Sister!!" Brother Bai jumped off his horse and immediately ran to Bai.
"Brother!" Bai's eyes welled up with tears. "I didn't expect you to actually come, to actually come pick me up!"
"Why didn't you send someone to deliver the letter earlier?" The brother was heartbroken. "If you had sent it earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer so much in vain."
"But I'm no longer innocent. If I hadn't had to, I wouldn't have the face to go back to Dayan City!"
"Stop talking about this. That beast Bu Yuchuan hurt you so badly, I will definitely cut him into pieces!!"
Brother Bai drew out his knife and pointed it at Bu Yuchuan who was completely unable to resist.
Many of the soldiers and retainers who were watching were getting anxious and unwilling to give in. They shouted, "Divorce is the general's family affair, we have no right to interfere. But dare you touch his people?! If you dare to touch him, it will be like declaring war on Huitou Village! From now on, Huitou Village and Dayan City will be irreconcilable!"
