The old lady is reborn

The young eunuch had just placed a few incense burners on a wooden tray and took them out by the handle. Before he had time to clean them, the senior eunuch Li Gui came over and told him to do other work.

The young eunuch looked at the incense burner in his hand and did not dare to disobey Li Gui's words, so he had to put the incense burner down first.

When he came back in trepidation, he found the incense burners were still in the corner and everyone looked the same as usual. Only then did his heart finally settle down.

After he carefully rinsed and cleaned the incense burner, His Majesty had finished his dinner.

Several older eunuchs went in to clean up. When the young eunuch came over, he caught a glimpse of their backs from afar, and then heard Li Gui say, "There's nothing to do today, go down and rest."

Inside the imperial tent, only one of the four people who had just entered was a eunuch, and the other three were Zeng Chen, the Minister of the Dali Temple, Li Gengxi, the commander of the Imperial Guards, and Zhuo Peng, the head of the Yulin Guard.

Among these three people, Zeng Chen "should" be in Kyoto. Li Gengxi thought that he had set out to escort the four princes this morning and would return to the camp three days later.

Only Zhuo Peng, the leader of the Yulin Guard, was in the camp, but he "should" have gone to bed in his tent.

Now the three men came into the tent and saluted together. His Majesty said, "No need to be polite. Tell me what's going on."

……Dividing line

Rong Huaian and Lin Yindi cooked the game and cut it into small pieces.

While listening to the messenger outside reporting the current battle situation.

As expected, the Crown Prince's team came in first, the Fifth Prince's team came in second, and the Second Prince's and Third Prince's teams came in third and fourth respectively.

Luoxue came back, holding the three strips of cloth very proudly.

Rong Huaian said: "Not bad, he actually killed three of them."

Although Luo Xue was very excited, she still said honestly: "I was almost killed. If He Shao hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have been able to get these.

If he hadn't intervened, I would have been stripped of my clothes and would have been taken back to the camp by the messenger."

Lin Yindi said: "You did a great job today. Don't go tomorrow."

Rong Huai'an asked: "What's the difference?"

Luo Xue said: "I am good at riding and archery, but if I can't win with one move, it will be difficult to win in close combat. They are all very powerful.

However, if I really fight the enemy, I may not lose. I can use poison.

It’s just for fun, so you can’t use these.”

The three were chatting when Yan Hui and Yue Heng came. Yan Hui looked pale and seemed unstable on his horse.

When Yue Heng saw the place, he dismounted first and then helped Yan Hui down.

Several people rushed over to help, and helped Yan Hui sit down against a mound of earth. Rong Huaian asked, "How did you get hurt?"

Yan Hui said, "This is not right. I'm afraid we should send someone back to the camp to report the news."

Lin Yindi asked: "What's wrong?"

Yan Hui said: "I came to bring you some food, and on the way I met a man who was tying up IOUs, and we had a fight.

After I won, I untied his cloth strip and was about to send out a signal firework when I saw no messenger passing by.

That person took advantage of my unpreparedness and suddenly stabbed me with a knife, intending to kill me. If Yue Heng hadn't come to deliver food and run into me, and hadn't cried out from a distance, that knife would have probably taken my life."

Yue Heng said: "That man really chopped, Yan Hui dodged, the knife didn't hit his body, and finally hit his calf.

He was hit by my dart and was slashed on the shoulder by Yan Hui, and then he ran away.

Isn't it strange that one of the four teams killed someone?"

Yan Hui: "He knew he couldn't beat me, so he decided to rely on a sneak attack."

Rong Huaian asked, "If we bring the person back to the base camp, what will the messenger do?"

Yue Heng said: "They will ask him which team he belongs to and his name, and then the soldier who records the name will find the person's name on the roster of each team and cross it out."

Rong Huaian said: "Perhaps he is not on the roster, and he doesn't know who is on the roster of each team, so he would be exposed if he falsely reported a name."

Everyone looked a little strange after hearing this. The Emperor and Empress were in the base camp. If someone of unknown origin had infiltrated the four teams...

Luoxue said: "Let me take a look at your injuries."

Yan Hui said, "It's okay, it's just a flesh wound, it's a little painful, I've applied some gold wound medicine, it should be fine."

Luoxue said, "Give me your hand so I can take your pulse."

As soon as she touched the hand, Luoxue frowned and asked, "It's burned like this?"

He took out a small dagger and cut open Yan Hui's bloody left leg from the bottom. The entire skin and flesh on the calf wound was turned inside out, and a lot of gold medicine had been applied to stop the bleeding.

Although the bleeding had stopped, the wound was faintly bluish-black and the entire calf was swollen.

Luo Xue said, "The man's knife is poisoned. I need a pot of boiling water to cool down."

Lin Yindi said: "There's some ready in the pot."

Yue Heng brought the water over and, as Luoxue had said, poured it over the wound little by little to rinse it clean.

Lin Yindi said to Luoxue, "Are you still laughing at me for taking the blame?"

Luo Xue gave him a blank look.

Yue Heng said: "He always likes to show off, just ignore him and take care of the wound first."

The wound turned obviously black after the golden medicine was washed off. Luo Xue took out a bamboo tube from her arms, poured out six wriggling, long and thin worms from it, and placed them on Yan Hui's wound.

Yan Hui asked, "What is this? What are you going to do?"

Luo Xue said, "There is no other way now. Let them suck out the poison from your wound and eat it. They will also eat some rotten flesh. It may be a little painful."

Lin Yindi asked, "Why are there white and red insects?"

Luo Xue said: "When they are not poisonous, they are white. When you eat some of them, they turn red. When you are full, they turn black."

The six little worms ate so much that their bodies grew several times larger. Two of them turned black, while the rest remained red. They slowly rolled into a ball and stopped moving.

Luoxue put them back into the bamboo tube and said, "If we apply the golden medicine now, he should be fine."

Lin Yindi looked at Yan Hui's wound, which had lost its blue-black color and rotten flesh and had turned pink, and couldn't help but ask, "If there weren't these little bugs, would it be possible to just use a knife to cut off this piece of flesh?"

Yan Hui shuddered after hearing this.

Luoxue said: "Making a bigger wound? Unless you can ensure that the bleeding can be stopped and the wound will not be infected."

Rong Huai'an, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Let's go right away."

Yue Heng said, "Are we going back to the camp to report the news? I'll go alone. You guys take care of Yan Hui. It's getting dark now."

Rong Huaian said: "It's not safe here anymore. We can't stay here, and you can't go to the camp.

There is a high possibility that an ambush has been set on the way to the camp.

The person who escaped knows that he has been exposed, and he will most likely find someone to kill him. We must leave quickly."

Yue Heng asked: "What about the Emperor and Empress...?"

Rong Huaian said: "Sixty percent of the Imperial Guards and Feathered Guards are in the camp, and the number of these people who sneaked in cannot exceed that of the Imperial Guards and Feathered Guards.

Let’s move to another place first.”
