Chapter 469, Nemesis
"Where's my fourth brother? Why can't I see him?"
Xiao Yeyang bandaged the wound carefully without looking up: "There is a trap in the cave. Wen Kai was shot in the shoulder and is now guarding the valley."
Hearing this, Daohua's expression changed and she asked anxiously, "Is the injury serious?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Don't move." He straightened Daohua's arm and said, "He dodged quickly, so it's nothing serious. Don't worry too much. Your fourth brother was a bit rash when he encountered the problem. It would be better if he learned a lesson."
Daohua was worried and asked again, "Are you really okay?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "It's really okay, the arrow didn't penetrate the flesh completely, but you still have to suffer for a few days."
Daohua was silent for a moment: "It's better to let Fourth Brother suffer a little, so that he won't act impulsively all the time."
Xiao Yeyang agreed, then smiled and said, "Okay, it's bandaged!"
Daohua took a look at the bandage and nodded in approval: "Good craftsmanship."
Xiao Yeyang carefully lowered Daohua's sleeve and said casually, "Practice makes perfect." Then, he instructed, "Be careful during this period and don't touch the wound. Also, there's nothing here, so everything has to be simple. Just make do with it."
Daohua said nonchalantly, "I'm not that precious. I was still doing this the past two days when you guys weren't here."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang felt uncomfortable. He took Daohua's hand and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't come here earlier and made you suffer."
Daohua said quickly, "I'm already very pleased that you guys came here so quickly. I thought I would have to face off against those killers guarding the exit."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yeyang remembered the scene in the stone tomb, and couldn't help feeling scared. Daohua was smart, but in front of the killer who was on the edge of a knife, she was still too weak. If she wasn't careful, she might lose her life.
"Daohua, if you encounter similar dangers again in the future, don't rush up by yourself. Remember, you only need to protect yourself and wait for me to rescue you. Don't do anything that will hurt yourself."
She would never pin her hopes on others!
Seeing Xiao Yeyang's serious expression, Daohua didn't dare to say this out loud. She just said vaguely, "Oh, I'll see how the situation plays out. Besides, it's bad luck enough to have encountered something like this once. I won't encounter it a second time."
Xiao Yeyang looked at her helplessly, knowing that this guy would not obey him. Thinking of the secret guard he sent to her, who not only lost his master but also got injured while saving others, he snorted coldly.
"The secret guard I gave you is too unclear about his duties. I'll replace you with another one when we get back."
Daohua: "No need. I can't blame him for being tied up. We were tied up in the locker room after all. It's not good for him to stare at us all the time, right?" After saying that, she couldn't help but yawning with her hand covering her mouth.
Seeing that she looked tired, Xiao Yeyang didn't say anything more.
Daohua: "I want to lie down for a while, you go and do your thing!"
Xiao Yeyang asked worriedly, "Are you okay on your own? Do you want me to stay with you?"
Daohua shook her head: "No need, I'm not that delicate at all!"
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "Okay, I'll leave Dexi outside the door, and you can call him if you need anything."
Rice Flower nodded.
Seeing Daohua yawn again, Xiao Yeyang turned and left the room. He said to Dexi who was standing outside the door, "Don't go anywhere tonight. Just stay here. If anything happens to Daohua, notify me immediately."
Dexi nodded: "I understand."
Xiao Yeyang turned his head and looked at the house until there was no sound in the house. He knew that Daohua had fallen asleep, then he left the yard and went to the arsenal.
He had to find out the situation of the arsenal before he could write a letter to his uncle.
Not all of the killers were killed. Many of them were arrested and interrogated for several hours overnight. Combined with the confessions of the villagers, Xiao Yeyang probably knew the situation in Sishan Village and the arsenal.
"This is Prince Duan's secret weapons factory. The people in charge here are Prince Duan's left chief secretary Xu Ke and his advisor Fan Kun."
"The permit was seized, but Fan Kun hasn't found the person yet."
"Because the place is so secret, the weapons forged over the years have not been shipped out."
"This batch of weapons is quite a lot. If we take it out and transport it to the northern battlefield, it will solve the urgent needs of the soldiers and will definitely help Daxia drive out the Tatars."
"Another passage leading outside has been found, and there's no sign of anyone getting out."
"After we came in, Xu Ke knew something bad was going to happen. He was originally going to transport the weapons out through this passage, but he was intercepted by Miss Yan."
Xiao Yeyang stood outside the stone tomb and listened silently to An Yi's report. He had no reaction before, but when he heard this, his expression changed.
Not only Xiao Yeyang sighed about this, but An Yi also sighed.
Thinking of the look of gnashing teeth and anguish on Xu Ke's face when talking about this matter, An Yi felt a little sad but also secretly happy.
Who could have thought that the license to be the leader of the secret guards of Prince Duan's Mansion would fall into the hands of a little girl? Oh, it makes me feel so sorry for him just thinking about it.
Xiao Yeyang: "I know Fan Kun. He is very cunning and must be caught as soon as possible."
An nodded: "Now that we have control over both exits, he will definitely not be able to escape."
Xiao Yeyang: "Don't be careless. When the emperor's uncle wanted to catch him, he escaped."
Afterwards, when he had a pretty good understanding of the situation at the arsenal, Xiao Yeyang left and returned to the yard where Daohua lived. He learned that Yan Wentao had found a woman from the village to serve in the house, and when he saw through the window that Daohua was sleeping soundly, he went into the next room to write a letter to the emperor.
Defu stood aside grinding ink, his expression unable to hide his excitement.
By seizing such a large iron mine and weapons depot from Prince Duan, the master has made another great contribution.
But think about it, Prince Duan is quite unlucky. First, the gold mine he controlled was found by Miss Yan, and now his private iron mine and arsenal were also leaked because of Miss Yan. Why does it feel like Miss Yan is Prince Duan's nemesis?
But then again, Miss Yan is Prince Duan's nemesis, but she is the master's lucky star.
Xiao Yeyang carefully wrote down the cause, process, and result of the incident, and then emphasized the suffering Daohua had endured during this period. After confirming that the emperor would not ignore Daohua's contribution, he summoned the secret guards and handed him the sealed letter: "Express letter, send it to the capital immediately!"
After finishing all this, it was already 5:00 AM. Xiao Yeyang was too lazy to go to bed to rest, so he just sat on the chair and took a nap.
At the beginning of the Chen period (7:00), the rice flowers woke up.
Xiao Yeyang heard the noise and went straight to her room. Seeing that Daohua's eyes were green, he frowned and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Daohua nodded weakly. She had overestimated her mental endurance and had a nightmare all night last night.
Xiao Yeyang thought of Prince Duan's men slaughtering villagers at the arsenal, and stepped forward to comfort them, saying, "You arrived just in time. Although many villagers were injured, their lives were saved. It's all over, don't dwell on it anymore."
Daohua nodded: "Yeah."
Xiao Yeyang looked at the woman in the room and said, "Go get some hot water. The girl needs to wash up."
The woman nodded quickly and quickly left the house.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua's loose hair and said, "Come, I'll comb your hair."
Daohua looked over with distrust: "Can you comb your hair?"
Xiao Yeyang: "It's definitely not okay for a girl to have a bun, but you're wearing men's clothes now, so I have no problem with a man's bun."
Seeing the doubt on Daohua's face, Xiao Yeyang pulled her to sit on the stool, then picked up the comb and started combing her hair.
"Can you comb your hair? Or should I let that woman comb it for me?"
"That woman doesn't look very clever and is clumsy. What if she hurts you?"
Daohua curled her lips and thought to herself, you're not much better. Just as she thought of this, her hair was pulled, causing her to turn around and glare.
Xiao Yeyang smiled awkwardly: "It won't happen again, it won't happen again."
When the woman came back with hot water, Xiao Yeyang had already combed Daohua's hair into a bun.
Daohua shook her head. Although she felt a little unstable, she knew it wouldn't fall apart without any force. She reluctantly accepted it, but she said, "I have to protect my head well today, otherwise my hair will fall down and I will have to show my hair to others in disarray."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. If your hair falls apart, I'll comb it for you again." After saying that, he put the comb in his pocket, looking like he meant what he said.
Daohua glanced at him sideways, walked to the basin and prepared to wash her face.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang immediately walked over and said, "Your hand is injured, don't move." Then he said to the woman, "Go down, you don't need to serve here anymore."
After the woman left, Xiao Yeyang took a handkerchief and put it in a basin of hot water. After stirring it dry, he was about to wipe Daohua's face.
Daohua raised her head and dodged: "Only one hand is injured, the other hand is fine." As she said that, she stretched out her left hand and motioned Xiao Yeyang to give her the handkerchief.
Xiao Yeyang handed over the handkerchief: "Can you wash it clean like this?"
Daohua rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to pay attention, put the hot pad on her face and rubbed it a few times quickly, and then it was fine.
Seeing her wiping so roughly and carelessly, Xiao Yeyang shook his head, took the handkerchief and put it back in the basin, washed it several times, and after waving it dry, he said to Daohua, "There is some dirt on your temples and ears. Do you want to wipe it yourself, or should I help you?"
Daohua was stunned: "Really?"
Xiao Yeyang picked up the handkerchief and wiped Daohua's temples, and immediately the handkerchief was stained with green dirt.
When Daohua saw it, she immediately said, "It must have been gotten when I was climbing the tree yesterday." As she said that, she took the handkerchief and started wiping it herself.
Unexpectedly, after just two wipes, it made a hissing sound.
Xiao Yeyang quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Daohua touched her ear and said, "It hurts a little."
Xiao Yeyang leaned over to take a look and found that Daohua's ear was scratched. He immediately blamed her, "Don't you know you're hurt? Bring me the handkerchief. I'll wipe it clean so I can apply medicine on you."
There was no other way, as there was no mirror, so Daohua had to hand the handkerchief to Xiao Yeyang.
Immediately, Xiao Yeyang took a handkerchief and began to clean Daohua carefully. After wiping his temples and ears, he quickly went to get the medicine.
"What do you want me to say about you? You're a grown man, and you don't even know how to say you're in pain?"
Looking at Xiao Yeyang who was carefully applying the medicine, Daohua pouted and couldn't help but explain: "The pain in my arm masks the pain in my ear."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang moved his gaze from Daohua's ears to her face, and then looked her body up and down.
Seeing his eyes rolling around on her, Daohua immediately glared at him: "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Yeyang: "I was wondering if you have any other injuries?"
Daohua immediately shook her head: "No more."
Xiao Yeyang ignored her and continued to apply the medicine, regretting it and saying, "I really should have brought your maid with me."
