Ah Da's switcheroo was unexpected by everyone, even Xie Yushu didn't expect that such a terrifying and cruel thing as a human skin mask would actually appear around her in this era.
Because Ah Da used a human skin mask to help Guang escape, it directly caused unnecessary injuries to the guards of the manor, and the hospital outside the manor activated its Level 1 emergency treatment for the first time.
The Liu family father and son were too busy to handle everything, so Xie Yushu also went to help with the rescue.
Those who surrounded and captured Chen Da and Sahadan only suffered minor injuries; the hospital staff gave them some medicine and bandaged them up.
The serious issue was that they were facing the two squads of guards who were protecting Fu Guang. Because they suddenly discovered that Chen Da was not in a good position, they had to fight hastily. They were facing a grassland prince who had practiced martial arts since childhood and had been trained by fighting among wolves. The difference in their fighting skills was immediately apparent.
Both groups of people had knife wounds, and two of them were even killed with a single blow.
Xie Yushu was undergoing surgery, feeling very uneasy. The tactics used against the enemy were actually quite similar. The reason why these people failed to capture anyone and suffered heavy losses was actually because they were too soft-hearted.
Those who attacked them were ruthless and decisive, always striking at vital points. These guards, although trained, had never seen real combat; in other words, they had never seen blood and couldn't bring themselves to do it.
It was this moment of weakness that gave the enemy an opportunity, while he himself was seriously injured and even lost his life.
Being soft-hearted is a major taboo on the battlefield! It can be fatal.
However, those who have never experienced battle, never seen blood, and never witnessed their comrades or companions fall beside them, find it difficult to kill as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
However, growth achieved at the cost of one's companion's life is far too cruel.
There were too many seriously injured people, about a dozen, but only Xie Yushu and the Liu family father and son were able to undergo surgery. Xie Yushu could only further classify the injuries according to their severity, separating those who were seriously injured but not yet dead, administering hemostatic drugs, and having them cared for, while saving those who were close to death first.
All of them had knife wounds, so the treatment mainly involved stopping the bleeding and stitching them up. The four of them worked until dawn and finally finished treating everyone.
The only consolation is that everyone who had a chance to be treated survived. Unfortunately, the two guards didn't even have a chance to be saved and died on the spot last night.
Xie Yushu didn't sleep a wink all night. After treating all the wounded, she asked Wang Wu to set up a mourning shed for the two dead guards.
These two guards were trained by Zhao Hu. One was named Wang Xiaotian, and the other was named Tian Yu. One was sixteen years old, and the other was seventeen years old. They were both good children. Qu Xiaodie looked at the two of them lying there quietly, lifeless, and her eyes reddened.
Nanxing Chunyu, along with everyone who trained with the two of them, burst into tears.
They were all orphans, or sold by their families. The mountain resort was their home, and the people in the resort were their brothers and sisters. They ate and lived together, and were as close as brothers and sisters. No one expected to face the departure of their brothers and sisters so suddenly, and it was hard to accept for a while.
The mourning tent was set up in the outer courtyard, in front of their dormitory. After it was set up, the staff of the mountain resort were summoned to see the two off and to announce to all the staff of the mountain resort that they should observe a three-day period of vegetarianism and silence.
Xie Yushu had not expected to face death so soon. She had experienced this pain more than once in her previous life, but experiencing it again still felt like a heart-wrenching pain.
But life had to go on. Everyone in the manor was watching her. Anyone else could cry, but she couldn't.
Silently adjusting her emotions, Xie Yushu then instructed Nanxing to go to the government office and purchase a barren mountain three miles north of the villa as her mausoleum.
At the same time, Chunyu ordered a larger stone tablet, inscribed with the words "Yuquan Mountain Villa Tomb," and placed it at the foot of Lingnu Mountain.
This way, those who followed her, whether alive or dead, would have a place where they could be worshipped.
While Wang Wu was directing people to set up the mourning tent and carry the coffin, the guards, whose fake human skin masks had been pasted on by A Da, came over in a panic, staggering over.
He had stopped breathing, and the guards carrying him thought he was dead. They carried him, A'da, and Sahadan to the garden and piled them up, thinking they would throw them into the back mountain and bury them after the rescue.
As a result, after rescuing the people, everyone was so engrossed in the news of the deaths of their two companions that they forgot about them.
When he woke up, he wanted to tell everyone that the Chen brothers had ill intentions. He first saw the corpses of Chen Er and Chen San beside him, but not Chen Da. He figured that Chen Da had run away, so he wanted to quickly report the news to Qu Xiaodie and Zhao Hu.
When I came out, I saw the mourning shed and the two brothers lying inside.
"Xiao Tian! Tian Yu, what's wrong with you two?"
Those damned Chen brothers!
He didn't speak; everyone was too busy grieving to notice him. When he finally spoke, they were terrified. Most of the people here were farmhands brought by Wang Wu, doing farm work and running errands; they weren't very skilled in martial arts, and the sight of him nearly scared them out of their wits.
"Mom! It's come back to life!"
"Help! A ghost!"
"Only a few guards were nearby, so they quickly drew their swords and surrounded him."
"Chen Da, whether you're human or ghost, I'm going to kill you to avenge my brother!"
The guard was confused.
"I am Zhou Ping. I was just about to tell you that the three Chen brothers are no good. They have other plans."
"Did Chen Da run away? I just woke up and didn't see his body."
His words stunned everyone. One of them whispered...
"Listen, his voice is Zhou Ping's!"
"But he really is Chen Da!"
The group of people were hesitant and could only look at the people and go to call Qu Xiaodie and Xie Yushu.
At the same time, Hongmei, who had been unconscious for half a day, also woke up. Seeing Xiao Haitang watching over her, her eyes were red, her nose tingled, and she immediately grabbed Haitang's hand, weakly saying...
"Quickly tell the princess that there are two Chen Das! Go now."
Xiao Haitang didn't even bother to figure out why there were two Chen Das, and ran towards Xie Yushu as fast as she could.
They ran right into Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie, who had rushed over after hearing the news.
"Sister, Master Qu, Sister Hongmei is awake. She said there are two Chen Das."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ping scratched his head anxiously and hurriedly explained.
“Master, it is Zhou Ping, it really is Zhou Ping.”
Xie Yushu recognized the voice as Zhou Ping's, but voices can be altered, so she couldn't immediately tell the difference. Xuan Yuanche, however, rushed over upon hearing the news and exclaimed...
"Go check his face. Did some heartless bastard put a human skin mask on him?"
Xuan Yuanche was in poor health, and Xie Yushu had specifically instructed that he should not be disturbed unless it was something that would cause the sky to fall. So the events of last night did not disturb him. He didn't hear about the incident at the manor until the sun was high in the sky.
Enraged, he cursed the entire courtyard of Divine Eagle Guards as living dead, and then rushed over in a panic.
After he finished speaking, his personal bodyguard Qingfeng went directly to Zhou Ping's side, held Zhou Ping's head and looked at it for a while, then found a gap behind Zhou Ping's ear, and tore off a mask with his hand. It was thin and even looked somewhat transparent under the sun.
