The next day, Lu Ren went to the clinic.
Lin Yuzhi's injuries are still very serious and he needs to change the dressings regularly every day.
He was not surprised to see Lu Ren, and said calmly: "General Lu."
Lu Ren was also quite familiar with arrow wounds. After taking a look at Lin Yuzhi's condition, he knew that it was not a serious matter and he just needed to be well taken care of.
"I have some excellent golden medicine here, which is very effective. I will give it to Prime Minister Lin."
Lin Yuzhi did not refuse and nodded, "Thank you, General Lu."
The imperial physician took the medicine and smelled it, his eyes lit up slightly. It was indeed an excellent medicine for wound healing, worth a fortune.
He changed the medicine for Lin Yuzhi, bandaged him, and then left the room.
Lu Ren had been standing by the window, and only sat down at the table after the wound was bandaged.
"General Lu, do you have anything else to say?" Lin Yuzhi took the initiative to speak.
Lu Ren pointed at Ji Yue in his hand, "Prime Minister Lin would block the arrow for the princess and suffer such serious injuries. This general never expected it."
"The situation was critical at the time, and I didn't think too much about it. Now that I think about it, with General Lu here, the princess will definitely be fine."
Lu Ren said: "Not only did he block the arrow, the Prime Minister's action of pulling out the arrow surprised me. The Prime Minister must be aware of the consequences of pulling out the arrow at will."
Lin Yuzhi said calmly: "I have never been shot by an arrow, so I naturally don't know."
"Really?" Lu Ren said, "But having said that, this general still wants to thank Prime Minister Lin."
"No need to bother General Lu, the princess came to see me yesterday."
"It seems that the princess already knows that Prime Minister Lin is a loyal subject."
Lin Yuzhi said calmly, "I am not trying to show anything to the princess. I believe that if it were General Lu, he would block the arrow for the princess without hesitation, just like me."
Hearing this, Lu Ren looked at Lin Yuzhi and slowly stood up: "This general is different from the prime minister."
"Why?"
Lu Ren stood up and without further explanation, he nodded to Lin Yuzhi and left the clinic.
"Prime Minister, take good care of your injuries. Lu Ren will take his leave now."
Lin Yuzhi looked at Lu Ren's leaving back, his brows slightly furrowed.
He even began to show off his eloquence.
After leaving the clinic, Lu Ren thought of the emperor's oral instructions yesterday and went to the Heavenly Prison.
The jailer took him to Lance's cell. He looked at Lance, who was covered in wounds, and asked, "Who tortured you?"
"It was me who did it." Jiang Qi walked out from the darkness, with traces of blood on his hands. He slowly wiped them with a handkerchief and threw them on the ground.
Lu Ren said, "Lord Jiang, you are in a good mood. I am here to see Lance on the orders of His Majesty."
"General Lu, please do as you please."
Hearing the conversation, Lance in the cell slowly raised his head, his pupils filled with bloodshot.
"Lu Ren?" In just two days, Lance's voice had become extremely hoarse, as if it had been burned by an iron brand, and was extremely rough.
"Why are you, the eldest princess's dog, coming to see me instead of staying by her side and wagging your tail?"
Lu Ren remained unmoved by his deliberate verbal provocation. Only Lance felt it was an insult, but he himself did not feel anything about it.
What's more, he had just finished wagging his tail on the princess's bed.
Lu Ren's lips curled up slightly, "The emperor gave an oral order yesterday, ordering me to lead the troops to destroy Xili."
"What?!" Lance rushed forward, but was restrained by the iron chain hooked on his scapula. His eyes were bloodshot and blood on his collarbone flowed down like water.
"Didn't you expect this a long time ago?"
Lance clenched his fists and said, "I know why you came here. As long as I don't tell you, Xili will be safe and sound."
Lu Ren sneered: "You think too much. Do you think that if you keep the secret, His Majesty will be cautious? It's just a small Xili, so just destroy it."
"But if you tell me, I will kill fewer Xili people when I attack the Xili royal court. As for how many fewer people I will kill, it depends on whether you can tell me what I want to hear."
Lance said sarcastically: "Can you really kill all the people in Xili?"
Lu Ren raised a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth: "Why not? Don't the people of Xili call me the Living Yama? Wouldn't it be unfair to the three words Living Yama if I don't do something worthy of the name?"
"You have committed so many sins, aren't you afraid that you will have trouble sleeping and eating?"
"Killing sin? That's interesting. When Xiqin Pass fell, why didn't you think about how much killing sin you Xili had committed?"
Lu Ren's eyes were cold: "When it comes to you Xili, you only know how to kill evil?"
"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. This has been the case since ancient times. If you, Xili, attack Shengjing City, will there be anyone alive in Shengjing City?"
"Then why can't I kill all the Xili people?"
Lance stared at Lu Ren, as if trying to determine whether what he said was true or false.
Ever since he realized that Emperor Sheng wanted to get the secret of Anxiang Tower from him, he realized that he could rely on this secret to protect Xili for a while.
It just depends on how much the emperor wants this secret.
So he endured Jiang Qi's torture, just so that Xili could live longer.
But Lu Ren's words today showed that the emperor's patience had run out.
"That's all I have to say. Three days from now, the army will set out. Whether Xili will be extinct or not depends on your decision."
After Lu Ren finished speaking, he nodded to Jiang Qi and left the prison.
Jiang Qi watched Lu Ren leave, then slowly walked to the front of the cell and smiled: "It's better to just say it out. Today's punishment has not yet begun."
Lance hung his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Not to mention, Lu Ren led his army to destroy the country.
Having said that, he would completely lose his last bit of usefulness, and the final outcome would still be the destruction of the country.
The only difference is whether Lu Ren meant to kill them all or to kill fewer people.
Whether to say it or not, Xili was once again in a dead end.
He curled his lips and said, "Master Jiang, how are you going to torture me today? Your methods are just this much."
Jiang Qi said: "Of course I can't be too cruel, otherwise you will go crazy, how can I explain to His Majesty?"
Lance said disdainfully: "Come on."
Jiang Qi smiled when he heard this, and took some salt and sprinkled it on Lance's wound.
"Princess, this arrow really hits deep. Please feed it more."
As he spoke, he poured the entire jar of salt onto the wound on Lance's chest, and poured a large amount of green vitriol oil on it. Then he took an arrow and stabbed the wound repeatedly until the wound rotted again.
Lance bit his teeth until they bled, his whole body was shaking, and cold sweat dripped down like beads.
He stared at Jiang Qi, and suddenly a thought came to his mind, and he smiled: "Are you also the dog of the eldest princess?"
