Previously, Zhao Xian was waiting for news at home, but unexpectedly, he received news that Nasba had escaped.
Given such meticulous planning, the fact that Nashbai was able to escape shows that he was no ordinary person.
Knowing that Bao Ping was probably focused on capturing Nashi Bai, Zhao Xian mobilized all the family's soldiers to leave the village and reinforce Bao Ping.
Zhao Xian actually hoped that Nashi Bai would turn back and attack him. With three experts, including Zhao Cheng, present, how could he not capture Nashi Bai?
Not long after the family soldiers left, news came that Nashi Bai had been captured, and that he had been captured by Meng Yaoyao.
However, Meng Yaoyao was injured and is currently receiving treatment at the farm.
Capturing Nashibai was certainly a cause for celebration, but Meng Yaoyao's injury greatly surprised Zhao Xian.
The risk had now been eliminated, and Zhao Xian led the three men to the farm immediately.
The farm was brightly lit. After examination by the doctor, it was found that Meng Yaoyao's eyes had been damaged by a kind of irritating powder.
On the battlefield, soldiers often use highly irritating powders to attack the enemy, causing them pain and temporary blindness, thus rendering them unable to fight.
This situation would be fatal, making it easy for the opponent to kill you.
After the doctor's continuous cleaning, Meng Yaoyao's symptoms began to lessen and her condition improved.
Her eyes were no longer in excruciating pain, and she was able to see some things.
At this moment, Li Guang also rushed back. Seeing Meng Yaoyao suffering so much pain, he felt heartbroken. How could he let Meng Yaoyao go home alone?
Fortunately, Meng Yaoyao's eyes were not seriously injured and she recovered after two or three days of treatment.
If something were to happen to Meng Yaoyao this time, what would I do? How would I explain it to the Nanyi tribe? How would I face my father-in-law?
The wounded follower, though stabbed in the chest, was not seriously injured and was not in immediate danger of death.
Li Guang looked at another attendant and asked her about the specific circumstances at the time.
As Li Guang listened, he found the situation very strange. With Bao Ping's permission, Li Guang went to check on Nashi Bai's injuries.
At this moment, Nashbai was unconscious. He had lost an eye, and the scratches on his face were clearly visible.
Li Guang immediately understood that the little fox Yu Hong had attacked Na Shi Bai. Yu Hong was secretly protecting Meng Yao Yao and only intervened to save her when she saw that Meng Yao Yao was in danger.
Yu Hong struck hard, and Na Shi Bai was severely injured. Only in this way could Meng Yao Yao be rescued.
Li Guang didn't say anything, but quietly sat down next to Meng Yaoyao and gently comforted her.
At this moment, Zhao Xian arrived to inquire about Meng Yaoyao's condition.
Upon seeing Zhao Xian arrive, Li Guang immediately stood up and spoke.
"Brother Zhao, you're here. It's all my fault for not protecting Yao Yao properly." Li Guang's eyes were filled with tears.
"Li Guang, don't be sad. It happened suddenly, so it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself. Yao Yao's eyes were just irritated by the powder, and she'll be fine soon."
At this moment, Meng Yaoyao's eyes were red and swollen, which seemed serious, but in fact, she had not suffered any substantial damage.
The doctor was preparing medicine to bandage Meng Yaoyao's eyes.
Li Guang pulled Zhao Xian aside and told him about Meng Yaoyao's dangerous situation, explaining that it was the little fox Yu Hong who saved her, allowing Meng Yaoyao to escape unscathed.
Li Guang's words surprised Zhao Xian greatly. The little fox Yu Hong was a spirit beast, and with it on the farm, Li Guang and Meng Yaoyao could be safe and sound.
This matter must not be leaked; it's enough that only we, the people in the group, know about it.
The powder in Meng Yaoyao's eyes was mostly cleared out. The doctor applied the prepared medicine to Meng Yaoyao's eyes and then bandaged them up.
The doctor told Li Guang that he would come to change the dressing once a day, and that Meng Yaoyao's eyes would be better in three days.
After Meng Yaoyao's eye injury was treated, Bao Ping instructed the doctor to treat Na Shibai's wound.
The doctor knew that Nashbai was a foreigner and had committed heinous crimes, so he didn't want to treat him. But General Bao ordered him to do so, and he dared not disobey.
"Then let's treat him," the doctor said, as he was shocked when he saw Nasba's miserable state.
He dared not look at Nashbai's terrifying face, and simply bandaged his wounds, hoping not to die.
It was already very late at night, so Bao Ping and the others stayed at the farm until dawn.
Early the next morning, Bao Ping escorted Nashi Bai back to Qing'an Prefecture.
The operation to capture Nashbai, though dangerous, was ultimately successful.
However, one of Bao Ping's soldiers was stabbed to death by Nashi Bai, which caused Bao Ping great grief.
Bao Ping knew very well that without Meng Yaoyao's help, they would not have been able to capture Nashi Bai. He was determined to report Meng Yaoyao for credit when they got back.
Yu Wen did not return to Qing'an Prefecture immediately. There were still some things to take care of in Shuixian Village.
The imperial court had already taken action the day before Qing'an Prefecture was to arrest Nashi Bai.
The arrest operation was led by the Fourth Prince. After careful planning, the Fourth Prince split his forces into two groups to simultaneously arrest people at Tingyuge Tea House and Wu Qing's shop.
Of course, the arrest was carried out during the peak hours of the teahouse's business hours, which was about an hour after dark.
The raid on the teahouse was a great success; none of the staff on duty escaped, and more than thirty government officials were also captured.
Most of them were officials of the fifth or sixth rank, and a few were officials of the second or third rank. Such a rank was considered high-ranking in the imperial court.
Unfortunately, the arrest of the shopkeepers was not successful; the officers and soldiers failed to capture Wu Qing.
After questioning the shop assistants, it was learned that Wu Qing had gone out temporarily and should still be in the capital.
As long as he hasn't left the capital, things will be much easier. The Fourth Prince immediately organized a search throughout the city to capture Wu Qing.
During the search of Wu Qing's home, some things were discovered, which greatly alarmed the Fourth Prince.
These are some parts for making a crossbow, including the crossbow pole, the crossbow handle, and a bundle of crossbow rope. With these parts, it is easy to assemble a crossbow.
The discovery of these crossbow-making components does not preclude the possibility that these components may have ended up in foreign countries.
If the foreign people obtain these crossbow parts, it means they have mastered the technology to make crossbows.
Once the barbarian soldiers possessed these crossbows, it would pose a serious threat to the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty.
Following a city-wide manhunt, Wu Qing was apprehended the following morning.
The Fourth Prince personally interrogated Wu Qing, who was a businessman, and the essence of a businessman is to pursue profit.
At first, he was unwilling to confess anything, but when the Fourth Prince brought out a large number of torture instruments, preparing to torture him, Wu Qing immediately backed down.
According to Wu Qing's confession, over the years, all the information Ma Sibei collected was transmitted to the foreign country through him.
The Fourth Prince asked about the discovery of many crossbow parts in his house.
Wu Qing confessed that these were all provided by Ma Sibei, and some of the parts had been shipped to the foreign country two months ago.
