Chapter 338: Such a huge price?
Dabao is able to remain calm and even in critical situations, he forces himself to remain calm, showing extraordinary composure.
Nanbao is born brave, like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
As for Erbao, he was in charge of the entire operation and faced the most deaths. Even though his hands and feet were nervous, they became numb due to the panic.
When no one was at home, he had to protect his younger sister, his grandmother, and his older sister, so he had to stay calm. Now that people are back home, including his mother and elder brother, he feels more at ease and has no reason to be afraid.
Dabao praised Erbao for once and held Erbao's hand tightly. "Well done, Jiang Yue."
Erbao was filled with lofty ambitions, and any slight fear in his heart disappeared.
"Brother, I should do this."
Nanbao rubbed against Dabao and asked for praise, "Brother, what about me, what about me..."
"You are brave too! Our girl is not afraid of anything. She is a great girl!"
"Good! Big brother, and brother Ziji is also very brave..."
“He’s great too!”
The three snow wolves ran in from outside safely, and also came to Dabao to ask for praise, shaking their heads, with pride in their little eyes.
Even the second child couldn't help but praise him without Dabao, "You guys are awesome!"
Indeed, the three snow wolves made great contributions. In today's battle, we witnessed their lethality. Now, I'm afraid Erbao doesn't believe that they are really just simple wolfhounds. There is no dog so ferocious and cruel that can kill with one blow!
The three of them killed at least six or seven masked men. Their strength should not be underestimated and they were a great help.

Shili outside the town.
There were also masked sentries lurking in the darkness, who saw the movements at the Jiang Clinic...
It was not until the lights in Jiang's medical clinic were turned on that the officials and soldiers from the yamen rushed over.
Over there, still no masked man escaped.
The sentry did not show up, so he continued to wait quietly.
The Jiang's Medical Clinic seemed to be a den of dragons and tigers.
Finally, after waiting for a while, I saw a seriously injured masked man limping out.
The sentry rushed forward to support him.
"How about it?"
"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Doctor Jiang is back, the murderous ghost is dead, and all the troops are wiped out except me. It's too scary, too scary in Jiang's Clinic..." He said with a look of horror, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He didn't know where he was injured, and his body was covered in blood.
I'm afraid he won't live long. The sentry urged, "Tell me everything that happened."
The survivor recounted the story from the moment he entered Jiang's Clinic, one thing after another... until the final annihilation of the entire army, and recounted it in detail.
Then, he could no longer hold on, his head tilted, and he died.
The sentry was shocked.
For a moment, he couldn't digest what he heard.
I can't believe it will fail, but it's true...
He immediately retreated quietly and went back to report the situation.

Jiang Lianzhu took great pains to rescue Lin Ziji.
If she had come back any later, Lin Ziji would probably be gone.
Butler Lin also recovered. His whole body was as red as a shrimp. Jiang Lianzhu understood why he always had a rosy face after learning about it. It turned out that it was because of his martial arts skills.
"How is our young master?" he asked Jiang Lianzhu anxiously.
Jiang Lianzhu said, "We've saved a life. His breathing is stable now and he should wake up soon. But you don't look well. Let me take a look at you."
Butler Lin was covered in blood, some of it from other people, but most of it was his own blood, as if caused by a burst blood vessel.
All in all, it looks pretty scary.
His skin was red and blood was oozing out of him, and anyone who saw him would be shocked.
Fortunately, the Jiang family has experienced this life-and-death battle and has raised the upper limit of their senses.
Steward Lin wiped the blood off his face and said, "It's okay. It's just the aftereffects of weakness from going berserk. I'll take some pills..."
He trembled and poured out a few pills, trying to put them in his mouth, but he was shaking so violently that he had to try several times before he could put them in.
He was standing unsteadily and leaned against the wall. Fortunately, Dabao and Erbao were smart and moved a big chair for him to sit on, and he was able to sit down steadily.
After taking the pills, it really worked quickly.
The blood on his body stopped seeping out and began to coagulate, and his overall condition improved slightly.
Jiang Lianzhu gave him a large piece of ginseng and put it in his mouth.
I checked his body...
The more he examined, the more frightened he became. This time, Steward Lin's internal injuries were too severe. It might take several years for him to recover. All his internal organs were severely damaged, not to mention that his meridians and blood vessels were the most seriously injured.
"Old man, I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Your injury is quite serious. Please take it on time. Thank you so much for helping me this time. I heard Erbao and the others say that without you, they would never have waited for me to come back. This is such a great favor. If you need me in the future, just tell me and I will definitely repay you!"
Steward Lin waved his hands weakly, staying by the side of the unconscious Lin Ziji. "It's alright. If you want to remember this favor, put it in the name of our young master. If it weren't for the young master's insistence, I would have left. It's all because of the young master's stubbornness. He insisted on doing what he promised. It was really too dangerous. I didn't expect to run into that old thing called the Soul-Calling Ghost..."
While Jiang Lianzhu was prescribing medicine for Housekeeper Lin, she asked, "Who is this ghost that's asking for death?"
"He's a notorious assassin in the martial arts world. He acts without reason, enjoys killing innocent people, and bullies the weak. Back when I was the leader of the martial arts world, I issued a killing order against him. I don't know what kind of protection he received, but he escaped the pursuit and disappeared for quite some time."
Jiang Lianzhu suddenly thought of the Baihua Tower that Liao Jiu had mentioned to her, "Could he be a member of the Baihua Tower now?"
Steward Lin's expression was solemn. "Baihualou was a cult organization from the previous dynasty. Wasn't it wiped out by the imperial court long ago? Back then, I even participated..."
At this point, Steward Lin seemed to have thought of something. "It's possible. Could it be that Baihualou has resurfaced? Then, Doctor Jiang, how did you get involved with Baihualou?"
Jiang Lianzhu was silent. "I'm not sure either. Someone once tried to assassinate my ex-husband, Wang Laowu... We killed the assassin. Maybe he's here for revenge?"
Does it take such a big fuss to avenge two assassins?
To be honest, she herself didn't believe it.
After the two assassins were killed, no one came to seek revenge for several months, and now they come with such a big fuss?
Also, if you want revenge, just go find her. Why do you have to capture me alive? And spend such a huge price?
She is not a fool. At this point, she can even rule out the possibility that Wang Laowu was the cause of the trouble.
