Chapter 139 - 139 Incompetent and Furious!
139 Incompetent and Furious!
“Ow…”
Holding the top of her head that had been flicked, Lin Suisui looked aggrievedly at Lu Ze, who had turned around and walked away. If he didn’t want it, so be it. Why did he hit her head?!
Lin Suisui made a face at Lu Ze’s back as he sat by the bonfire. Then, she turned around and ran back to the ox cart to sleep again. She didn’t want to argue with a certain someone!
“Pei Qian probably already suspects you.” To Lin Suisui’s surprise, Lu Ze followed her in as soon as she returned to the ox cart and lay down.
He glanced at the little girl who was curled up under the blanket and said helplessly, “I think he’ll come over tomorrow to probe again!”
“I know!” Lin Suisui nodded. Pei Qian was a person who didn’t do things unless there were benefits. With his current relationship with Gao Xuwei, he probably even sent someone to monitor how many grains of rice Gao Xuwei ate every day!
Therefore, they definitely couldn’t hide the fact that he had drunk a bowl of ginger soup from her today!
But so what?!
If he wanted to blame this on her, he had to show evidence, right?!
“Don’t worry. The medicine on Gao Xuwei’s body is colorless and odorless. They won’t be able to find out!” Lin Suisui was very confident and reassured Lu Ze. “Besides, Gao Xuwei is so horny, so who knows if he used other medicine or not in private?!
Therefore, Pei Qian only came over to test us!”
“After Gao Xuwei suffered this time, he probably won’t cause trouble for the next few days. Moreover, I went out with Wu Liu and the others to investigate yesterday. There are already more than 100 to 200 wolves gathered outside!
Pei Qian had arranged for people to cut wood to build protective fences and dig traps in the past two days, probably to keep out the wolves!
However, with the number of people we have now, we can barely deal with the current wolf pack. However, the wolf pack is only surrounding us and not attacking. It’s obvious that they’re waiting for more wolves to arrive!
Pei Qian probably already asked for help! He probably wants to wait for external help to arrive and cooperate from the inside to find a way out for us!
However, if they wanted to mobilize the Northern Battlefront Army’s patrol camp, they had to obtain Gao Xuwei’s personal seal!
It was obvious that Gao Xuwei didn’t want to cooperate with Pei Qian.
Now that something like this has happened to Gao Xuwei, I believe he’ll object to Pei Qian’s suggestion even more! Therefore, we have to be prepared.”
Lu Ze clearly thought about it more comprehensively than Lin Suisui did. Because he knew Pei Qian well, he thought of the worst-case scenario.
“You mean that in order to obtain Gao Xuwei’s support, Pei Qian might use us as bargaining chips to curry favor with him?!” Lin Suisui wasn’t stupid. When she heard Lu Ze’s words, she understood the meaning behind his words.
If things really reached this critical point, it was reasonable for Pei Qian to do this.
“Wu Liu and I have already circled the surrounding forest in the past few days. We’ve figured out the situation nearby!” Lu Ze raised his hand and drew a simple position on the blanket in front of Lin Suisui. Then, he continued to say to her, “If there’s really no other way, we can only escape!”
If he was only with Lin Suisui, Lu Ze was completely confident that he could escape with her. However, they would have to suffer a long period of hardship!
This was a choice that he would only consider in the worst case scenario.
“I’ll listen to you.” Without any hesitation, Lin Suisui handed the decision-making to Lu Ze.
Along the way, Lu Ze was the only person she could trust and rely on! Moreover, Lu Ze had to be more familiar with the environment in the north. When she had no choice but to make a choice, she was willing to trust him!
“This is the worst case scenario.” Lu Ze reached out and helped Lin Suisui press down the corner of the blanket. He pushed Little White, who had already rolled into the middle and was sleeping soundly, to the corner again before whispering to Lin Suisui, “Go to sleep. It’s getting late.”
Lin Suisui hummed in agreement and yawned before closing her eyes.
Seeing that Lin Suisui trusted him completely, Lu Ze sighed helplessly. He carefully closed the curtain at the door of the ox cart and quietly jumped down. Then, he returned to the bonfire and sat down to keep watch.
Lin Suisui and Lu Ze were relaxed, but Gao Xuwei’s tent was already in chaos!
In his anger, Gao Xuwei couldn’t care less. He smashed everything in the tent. The three women had never seen such a scene before. They were so frightened that they curled up in the corner of the tent and trembled.
When Pei Qian entered, he saw this shameful scene.
“Qian He, bring these women out and settle them down first.” Pei Qian ignored Gao Xuwei, who was glaring at him like an angry brown bear. Instead, he instructed Qian He to bring these women out first.
“What are you doing here?! Are you here to laugh at me?!” Gao Xuwei glanced at Pei Qian. The longer he watched his calm appearance, the more annoyed he became.
What right did he have to act so high and mighty?!
“Didn’t I ask you to bring Madam Liu over?! Where is she?!” Gao Xuwei knew that he couldn’t take advantage of Pei Qian, so he didn’t pester him. He turned his attention to Wei Yun, who was standing at the entrance of the tent. All of a sudden, he started cursing as he strode over to hit him.
Unexpectedly, she had only taken two steps when Pei Qian reached out and stopped her. “Uncle, calm down. I was the one who didn’t let Madam Liu come over!”
“Why?! Don’t you know that I need treatment urgently?!” Gao Xuwei was so angry that he gritted his teeth. At this point, why was Pei Qian still going against him?!
“Uncle, I’ve already asked Madam Liu about your situation! She said that she can prescribe you a few courses of medicine, which will definitely cure you. However, our conditions are limited now, so we can’t get many of the required herbs!
The second method is to use silver needles to pierce the acupoints.
However, this second method is too risky. Moreover, Madam Liu has never used it before. Do you want to take such a risk?!
Therefore, I let her stay in her tent! After all, other than seeing you in such a sorry state, she can’t do anything!” Pei Qian was already used to Gao Xuwei’s bluff, so even though he was glared at by Gao Xuwei, he still sat there calmly!
