Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Seeing everyone bowing, the young man in Confucian robes smiled and agreed.

"I'm wearing armor, so I don't need to care."

As he spoke, the young man strode past Lu You, came to the side of the soldier who was shot by the arrow, and began to check the wound, not even caring about the blood on his sleeves.

He walked with a steady pace, and although his body was upright, his shoulders were slightly slumped and his body leaned forward.

Lu You looked at the young man and thought carefully.

This walking posture allows you to take quick action when encountering danger.

Especially the cuffs of the young man's Confucian robe, which were obviously much looser than those he had seen before.

It must have been tailored, and there must be something hidden in the cuffs.

"It really stopped the bleeding. Good medicine."

The young man squatted beside the wounded soldier and exclaimed in admiration, then stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the wounded soldier's chest.

"If there is congestion in your chest, you should get it out!"

As he shouted, the young man exerted force with his right hand.

puff! !

The wounded soldier spat out a mouthful of blood mist, but the young man dodged it by standing up.

"You two, take him back to the government office, explain the whole story, and then go directly to the government treasury to claim your reward."

"Ma Dazhi, you will receive double the salary, plus a month's leave to recover from your injuries."

"Thank you, Commander Wen!" The two returning soldiers clasped their fists and shouted to the young man, then helped Ma Dazhi onto the horse and turned away.

The captain did not receive any orders and just stood aside silently.

The young man came to Lu You and clasped his hands towards Lu You.

"My name is Wen Chengjie. This morning, I heard that a Miss Lu came to the mansion and she was able to make Chengbo suffer."

"Now that I see it, it's really extraordinary!"

As he spoke, Wen Chengjie's eyes swept across the black panther beside Lu You.

If Lu You had not been observing Wen Chengjie carefully, she would not have even noticed the flash of surprise in the other's eyes.

Seeing such a huge black panther yet pretending not to see it, this guy must have really done a good job of cultivating his energy.

"I've long heard that the young master of the Wen family is proficient in both literature and martial arts. Seeing him today, he is indeed a man of talent!"

Lu You said with a bow, then extended his hand directly to the team leader behind Wen Chengjie.

"Take the money. You just said that if you can save your brother's life, money is not a problem."

[Negative emotions from Su Kaiwei +30, +30, +30...]

[Negative emotions from Wen Chengjie +5, +5, +5...]

"I'll pay for the medicine."

Wen Chengjie took off the purse from his waist and said with a smile.

"How many?"

"A dose of medicine costs ten taels of silver. He just took two doses of mine, so the total is twenty taels."

[Negative emotions from Wen Chengjie +80, +80, +80...]

Wen Chengjie froze as he pulled the string of the purse with both hands, then looked up at Lu You.

"Ms. Lu, you only gave me two pills just now. I didn't see you use any other medicine?"

"That's two pairs."

Lu You answered casually.

"My recipe contains ginseng, mink fur, and deer antlers, all of which are precious medicinal materials."

"Each dose of medicine is simmered over low heat for at least seven days. Only after all the medicine has been simmered into a paste can it be rolled into a pill."

“So a pill is actually a medicine.”

Having said that, Lu You frowned and looked at Wen Chengjie.

"Master Wen, you didn't bring enough money, did you?"

[Negative emotions from Wen Chengjie +90, +90, +90...]

"I don't buy anything on weekdays..."

Wen Chengjie said somewhat awkwardly, then turned to look at the Wen family guards in the distance who were responsible for protecting Lu You.

"Xu Hua, go back to the mansion to get three hundred taels of silver for me."

"Yes!"

The guard took the order and left, but Lu You frowned and looked at Wen Chengjie.

"I won't sell this medicine unless I see a wounded person!"

[Negative emotions from Wen Chengjie +100, +100, +100...]

Wen Chengjie was depressed, but he still had a smile on his face.

"Miss Lu, you are joking. I have other uses for the extra 280 taels."

"That's good." Lu You said with a smile: "In that case, please ask the captain to tell us about the situation outside the city. Just now, Master Wen said that I can listen to him. I hope he won't change his mind."

"Of course." Wen Chengjie said with a smile, then turned to look at the captain: "Go ahead."

When Wen Chengjie gave the order, the team leader strode forward.

"Last night, at the end of the day, I was ordered by the prefect to select 32 people to go to Qingning County to investigate the assassination of Mr. Guan."

"But when he arrived at the east gate of Qingning County and showed the prefect's order, he was shot with arrows by the Qingning city guards."

"We wanted to return to the capital to report the news, but were intercepted and killed by masked men in black on the way."

"They were well-equipped, armed with crossbows, and rode on war horses and kept chasing us. We had to go around 80 miles of mountain roads before we could run back."

"According to my judgment, Qingning County has rebelled. Please tell the prefect Wen that a decision should be made as soon as possible."

After saying this, the captain clasped his fists towards Wen Chengjie, and then without any warning, he drew the short blade from his waist and raised his hand to cut towards his own neck.

"stop!!"

Wen Chengjie shouted loudly upon seeing this.

Lu You was even more direct. He raised his foot and kicked the captain directly in the armpit, dislocating his shoulder armor.

Bang...

The short blade hit the bluestone ground and was kicked away by the soldier next to him.

Wen Chengjie raised his hand and slapped the captain.

Snapped! !

"Why did you commit suicide!" Wen Chengjie asked angrily.

"I ordered 32 brothers to go with me. When we were ambushed, as the captain, I did not stand up and die with my brothers."

"Instead, he abandoned his brothers one after another and led the escape himself."

"Such a despicable act cannot be atonement without death!"

The captain fell to the ground, his eyes red and tearful as he spoke.

When the people around heard his story, they immediately started talking.

Wen Chengjie reached out and lifted the captain up.

"You have just proved that you are not afraid of death."

"You asked the brothers to cover us just to bring back news, right?"

The captain was being grabbed by the collar by Wen Chengjie at this time. He didn't say a word, but just kept sobbing.

Wen Chengjie reached out and grabbed the big man's right arm, and with a sudden pull, he reconnected the dislocated arm.

"You feel bad and want to die, I won't stop you."

"But you have to think about how to tell your brothers after you go down."

"They were all killed by the Jin soldiers and rebels. If they asked you whether you had avenged them, how would you answer?"

The captain's body stiffened when he heard that, and the confusion in his eyes quickly turned into determination.

"General Qian, I understand. I will die on the battlefield!"

"I will kill more enemies!"

"I will avenge my brothers!"

With just three sentences, the captain's dejection was swept away.

Wen Chengjie reached out and patted the other person's shoulder hard, then shouted coldly.

"You want revenge, right? Su Kaiwei, I'll transfer you to the Pojun Camp."

"That is the sharp knife that first meets the enemy head-on when the troops are deployed. Once the battle begins, only one out of ten soldiers will survive."

"You dare not!!"
