Chapter 248: Sabotage

dily beamed a smile. She stuck out her tongue and shook her head at the woman, making the woman laugh continuously."Hey girl, let me ask you something. Is there anywhere decent to live around here Our...Lao Li sat with her legs crossed, gazing anxiously at the street corner.

Just as she was about to speak, a sudden chill ran down her neck. She turned her head and saw her granddaughter crying with red eyes.

"Don't cry, Funiu. The Marquis is very capable, he'll be fine! Besides, your father and the others went to pick him up, they will surely protect the Marquis and bring him back safely!"

The old woman gently patted her granddaughter's back. In fact, she was also worried inside, but at this moment, they, the elderly folks, were the pillars of the whole family and the entire village. They couldn't show any signs of panic.

The village head also waved his pipe and shouted, "Everyone should continue harvesting the fields, we can't delay our livelihood. Liu Biaotou, take your men to guard the mountain pass and prevent anyone from causing trouble!"

"Right, right," Zhao Shu and the others also chimed in, "At this time, we can't lose our composure."

"Outsiders probably don't know yet. We've kept it hidden, don't let them see through our ruse."

"Do whatever you need to do. When people ask where the villagers have gone, just say they went up the mountain to collect mountain goods."

The villagers, with a leader to guide them, were no longer panicked. They dispersed and went about their tasks.

Then Mrs. Cui thought for a moment, and asked Qiong to return to the city. She whispered to Wen Shidi, "Just in case something happens in the village, or there's trouble with the Marquis, you can lend a hand."

Without speaking of what was happening in the village, only saying that Li Lao Si and others rode hard to the wharf camp, it was almost dusk.

The camp's wooden gate was bolted shut, and it wouldn't budge no matter how hard I called.

The soldier guarding the gate said, "There is an order from above that no one is allowed in!"

Several of the marquess's personal guards went mad, "Open your dog eyes and look clearly, we are the marquess's personal guards, we invited a divine physician to come over, urgently treating the marquess's wounds."

The gatekeeper looked somewhat embarrassed, but still said, "Brother, it's not that we want to do this. It's really an order from above, emphasizing particularly that no one is allowed in or out."

Li Lao Si frowned, guessing that someone was meddling.

He called out Jia Yi and Liu Yang, giving them a few instructions. Then, he untied his belt and directly tied Zhang Shenyi to himself.

"Grandpa, don't be afraid, hold onto the medicine box, let's go in!"

Before Zhang Shenyi could respond, he drew his long sword and shouted, “Charge in!”

Jiayi and Liu Yang immediately sprang into action, heaving up a wooden gate and flinging it out with a thunderous crash.

The guard at the gate was so startled that his teeth nearly fell out. Before he could even come to his senses, Li Lao Si had already backed a divine physician inside.

Liu Yang and Jia Yi followed closely behind, Dong Mei bringing up the rear.

Some of the guards still wanted to chase and stop him, but they were rebuked by the marquis’ personal guard, “Are you trying to kill the marquis Be careful not to be used as a knife and die without knowing how!”

The gatekeeper hesitated for a moment, and in that time, Li Laosi and the others had already rushed to the entrance of the tent.

Outside the main tent, the Hundred Refined Warrior Corps of two hundred men surrounded it, led by none other than Jiang Cheng, the familiar lieutenant whom Li Family knew well.

Before him, stood three or four deputy generals and lieutenants, along with a few hundred soldiers. They were now berating him sharply: "Make way! We need to go in and check on the Marquis. If anything happens to the Marquis, can you afford the consequences"

Jiang Cheng's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, he looked very nervous, but his feet were rooted to the spot, and the long sword in his hand was gripped tightly.

"The Marquis has given orders that no one is allowed to enter the tent. You are forcing your way in, do you want to rebel The Marquis was assassinated, and the murderer escaped. Instead of capturing the murderer, you want to break into the tent. When people from the capital come to investigate, I will report everything to them!"

Several deputy generals and lieutenants frowned, some were truly worried about the Marquis, while others harbored ulterior motives...

But Jiang Cheng's words said this much, whoever insists on barging in is just asking for trouble.

Just at that moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the camp. Shortly after, Li Lao Si and his men rushed in.

Jiang Cheng immediately parted the way, "Come in quickly, Lord Huaisang is waiting!"

A deputy general's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward to block Jia Yi. However, Jia Yi grabbed his armor and with a powerful shove, flung him aside!

With a deafening crash, dust billowed into the air, and a deathly silence descended upon the camp.

Wearing armor, he weighed two hundred catties. Inside this half-sized space, he was like a bag of rice, easily thrown away.

Jiang Cheng and the others were even more excited, gathering their ranks and tightening their defenses to make their camp completely impenetrable.

In the tent, the smell of blood was thick. The lord lay on the bed, his back exposed, a white cloth covering him, soaked crimson with blood.

Two military doctors turned pale, knelt on one side, and were at a loss.

Seeing the crowd enter, they moved even further aside in fright.

Zhang Shenyi was let go by Li Lao Si. He ran all the way, feeling dizzy and disoriented. He propped himself up and searched in his medicine box for a bottle of pills. After swallowing one pill, he felt much better.

"How could the injury be so severe, why isn't he just bleeding Even a good person would die from this much blood!" The old man roared in anger.

The two military doctors didn't dare to delay and quickly explained: "The assassin's blade was coated with medicine, no matter what powder we used, the bleeding couldn't be stopped, so we could only press it with a cloth..."

Zhang Shenyi snorted coldly, quickly finding the medicinal powder from the medicine box and changing it for the Marquis.

Unfortunately, reality slapped him hard. His special medicine powder didn't work either.

Now everyone was dumbfounded. Could it be that the Marquis would bleed to death

At this time, Dong Mei stepped forward and said, "Take the military doctor out to be guarded. I have a way here."

Just as Zhang the Divine Physician was about to rebuke her, Li Laosi and Jia Yi Liu Yang began driving people away.

The main tent was large, and two army doctors were taken to the outer tent and guarded by personal soldiers.

Winter Plum took out the medicine bottle from her bosom and pleaded with Zhang Shenyi, “Master Physician, could you possibly use acupuncture to wake up His Lordship for a while”

Dr. Zhang’s eyes were glued to the medicine bottles. The two small porcelain ones weren’t unusual, but the biggest one in the middle was neither crystal nor jade; it was transparent and filled with most of the medicinal liquid…

His heart pounded in his chest. It had to be from the Li family, it had to be that mysterious person from the Li family!

He wished he could pounce on it immediately and study it thoroughly, but now was not a good time, so he could only hold back.

Master Zhang drew out a few golden needles and stuck them into Young Master Ye's body. After a while, Young Master Ye opened his eyes.

Li Lao Si hurried forward and quickly said, "Young Master Ye, don't worry, we've sent a divine doctor!"

Young Master Ye blinked, wanting to speak, but his pale lips remained silent.

Dong Mei knelt halfway, opened a medicine bottle, poured out a small pill, and mumbled, "Young Master, this pill...it's said that you know how to take it."

Ye Gongzi's eyes lit up, and she nodded lightly.

Winter Plum immediately fetched water and poured it into Ye Gongzi's mouth, then she took out the medicinal water and another bottle of medicine.

"Young master, this powder can stop bleeding and pain, but after a day, you need to wash it clean with this water. We will take you back to Suijintan as soon as possible!"

Ye Gongzi nodded with difficulty, then reached under his body and pulled out a golden token. These things exhausted all his strength, and he then closed his eyes and fainted.

Winter Plum got up and gave the gold medal to Li Lao Si, while the medicine bottle went to Zhang Shenyi.

Zhang the Divine Physician quickly washed his hands, thoroughly cleaning away the previous medicinal powder.

In just a short while, the wound had already filled with fresh blood.some bone marrow and threw it into a big pot to make soup. He ladled out a small pot and cooked noodles in the broth, which became the sick person's meal.The rest of the pot was filled with chopped ca...
