Aunt Qiao did not expect to end up like this today. The only ones who accompanied her were the concubines who were executed together with her. Even the concubine who exposed her crime was not spared.

Prince Shou sat in the study room and called the housekeeper and the servants who used to serve Aunt Qiao. He interrogated them one by one, with cruel and bloody methods! He didn't care about the others, but only asked who was closer to Aunt Qiao or his confidant.

The servants who said they didn't know were beaten until they were bloody. Few people could really keep a secret, and after a few servants were beaten to death, the others were so scared that their legs went limp, and they would tell the truth no matter what they were asked.

It didn't take long for him to find out which confidant had betrayed him.

Haha! It's really unexpected.

Prince Shou was not particularly sad about the death of his own son, let alone the betrayal of several of his confidants, which he cleaned up without blinking an eye.

The Dark Guard is the last trump card in his hand. No one can destroy his life's work. This is the only thing he can show off because of his own creation.

This dark guard team had taken nearly twenty years to build, and it was the one he cared about the most.

Soon, it was heard that the confidant had fallen ill and died, and as a result, many people in the palace fell ill and died, so Prince Shou closed the door to visitors.

Wei Dong finally woke up, and then the memories before he fainted flooded into his brain. Before he fainted, he saw a horse bandit raising a butcher knife towards Xie Jiu. What happened to Xie Jiu?

He looked around. This should be his tent. He called out: "Xie Jiu, Xie Jiu..."

The tent's curtain was suddenly lifted up, and Xie Jiu strode in. He was very happy to see Wei Dong awake. He asked with concern, "Are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"

Wei Dong looked at Xie Jiu in surprise. He did not answer Xie Jiu's question. Instead, he thought carefully and it seemed that he heard Xie Jiu calling his name when he fainted.

Wei Dong smiled, and was genuinely happy for Xie Jiu: "It's great that you can speak now."

Xie Jiu was helpless. What a guy. When he woke up, he only cared about the trivial matter of being able to speak. Xie Jiu should be the most important person in Wei Dong's heart.

Don't think about it too much, otherwise you will inevitably feel sad.

Wei Dong wanted to reach out and pull Xie Jiu, but he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He couldn't help but screamed "Ah!" Xie Jiu quickly said to him:

"Why are you moving? Your shoulder bone is broken. Was it Wuyun who kicked you? How did you fall off the horse?" He finally woke up. He had been holding it in his heart for a long time and finally asked the question.

Wei Dong shook his head, followed Xie Jiu's hand and slowly lay back down. After he was done lying down, he explained:

"Dark Cloud is human-like. Why would it kick me? I took the opportunity when its body was tilted to jump on it. Oh! By the way, have you found Dark Cloud?"

He was also very worried about Wuyun. It was a rare opportunity to have such a gentle horse, and he liked him very much, so he couldn't lose him.

Xie Jiu said helplessly: "I must have found it for you, don't worry." He didn't tell him that Wuyun's leg was a little lame, why bother to make him worry, he was just a beast. In his heart, no one was more important than Weidong's recovery.

Wei Dong felt relieved after hearing this, and continued, "At that time, there were several bandits behind me. I was worried that you hadn't escaped, so I turned around and ran towards you."

Xie Jiu thought that this was right, no wonder Wei Dong was so close to him when he found him.

"Wuyun runs fast, and these horse bandits can't catch up with me, but I don't have a chance to get rid of them. If I meet you, I will bring these enemies with me and put you in danger. So I want to find a chance to solve these troubles, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly."

Xie Jiu felt tired, but he couldn't say any words of blame. This guy was just like that. He had no martial arts skills but dared to deal with a few horse bandits. If you weren't wearing a life-saving treasure, would you still be alive now?

Whenever I think about the fact that I almost lost the person in front of me, I don't want to say any words of blame to him. I can only be grateful to God for not being too cruel to me this time.

He had not been blessed by God in the first half of his life, but since he met Wei Dong, he was grateful to all the gods and Buddhas in his heart for leaving this ray of light for him.

Weidong came to redeem him and to compensate himself.

Xie Jiu finally said with a sob: "Why are you so stupid?" Whenever you encounter danger, the most important thing is to protect yourself first, stupid!

Wei Dong looked at him with a smile without saying anything. Xie Jiu felt warm in his heart. It felt really good to have someone who cared about him all the time.

At this time, Ye Qingfeng's voice came from the door: "Manager Wei, are you awake?" He stood at the door and asked loudly, because he heard voices coming from the tent and guessed that he should be awake.

In the past, they were not so particular. They were all grown men and would just lift the curtain and go in to talk. But since Xie Jiu had lived in Weidong's tent, everyone started to make do with it without any prior agreement.

I was afraid that I would break in and see something I shouldn’t see. No one said what it was, and everyone knew it!

Wei Dong immediately replied: "Qingfeng, come in, I'm awake." He was about to get up, and Xie Jiu helped him tuck his quilt behind him so that Wei Dong could sit up more comfortably.

Wei Dong sat down, and Ye Qingfeng walked in. Seeing that the shopkeeper's face looked much better, he felt relieved. There were so many complicated things going on in the caravan that he really couldn't handle them all.

Although several managers can temporarily take over for a few days, to be honest, the management is not as well organized as when Wei Dong was there.

Ye Qingfeng reported the process of suppressing the bandits and the large amount of property seized. The most important and difficult thing was that he didn't know how to deal with the many women rescued from the village.

Now they are all locked in a tent and guarded by someone, and no one is allowed to approach.

Wei Dong understood his concerns after a brief thought, and said with a smile: "Qingfeng handled it very well." Ye Qingfeng was not very happy to be praised, he asked tentatively:

"Boss, how many days will it take for you to recover?" He didn't know which of the many things to do first, and was busy and confused.

He now hoped that the shopkeeper would get better soon, so that he would only have to follow orders.

Wei Dong smiled and said, "I can continue my journey tomorrow. This injury is nothing." We can't delay any longer. This trip takes too long.

Xie Jiu said disapprovingly: "You can't ride a horse anymore." How can you ride a horse and travel when your bones are broken?

Ye Qingfeng quickly said: "You can arrange a carriage for the shopkeeper, the kind that doesn't bump around! The same one we gave you when we came." When Xie Jiu came, he hadn't recovered yet, and he came in that kind of carriage.

Xie Jiu: Thank you for your reminder.

Weidong knew that Ye Qingfeng was talking about a shock-absorbing carriage, which was indeed more suitable than riding a horse, so Weidong nodded in agreement.
