Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

"Madam Wei..."

"My lady, we have things to attend to, so we won't say more here. I will come to apologize to you in person some other day."

The leader was obviously a little impatient, but considering Wei Qiqi was beautiful and had a high status, he really couldn't do anything about it.

Wei Qiqi was already extremely unhappy after hearing these vague words which carried subtle hints.

"What are your names? Who are the centurions?"

Wei Qiqi asked, she didn't want to let these people go, and she didn't even know what happened to Zhu Youwei inside.

"you……"

Before the man finished speaking, the clever young man behind him interrupted the conversation again: "Madam Wei, we didn't mean it. We are really busy with other things and can't say more."

After saying that, she hurriedly pulled the man away.

Several people were walking very quickly, and the sounds of a few people arguing and pulling each other could still be faintly heard from a distance.

Wei Qiqi stopped and looked at those people.

Then he walked quickly into the yard.

A voice came from the yard: "Master, Master, I'm sorry, I really didn't know, I just had a drink with them."

"Master, how are you? What happened to you?"

"Put your master here..."

Wei Qiqi heard the voices of several people inside, and an ominous premonition filled his chest.

Only after entering the yard could I see the scene clearly.

Zhu Youwei was lying on the ground, his dark and old face was a little pale, and there was a trace of blood on his forehead, which spread to his face and was wiped by someone, leaving half of his face covered in blood.

There were broken things all around, and a few timid people leaning out of their positions.

Wei Qiqi took a few steps forward and squatted down to check Zhu Youwei's wound, then immediately asked someone to send Zhu Youwei to the bed.

She pointed at someone and said, "Go find a centurion and ask him to send a doctor over and tell him that it was Madam Wei Qiqi who said that."

The man heard it and realized that this was to save Zhu Youwei, so he turned around and ran away immediately.

Wei Qiqi asked someone to fetch some water, and used a slightly cleaner towel to wipe the blood off Zhu Youwei's forehead. Then she checked the wound, which was not deep, and seemed to have been scratched by something.

But this wound is not enough to cause a person to fall into a coma. It must be that someone hit the head hard, or there are other injuries.

She didn't know what was going on, so she asked the boy next to her who was crying with a sad face.

"Who are you?"

"I am his apprentice..."

Wei Qiqi looked carefully and found that it was not the disciple he had seen before.

"I haven't seen you."

The boy sobbed and wiped his red eyes, saying, "I am the youngest apprentice of the master. The master won't let me go out, saying that my skills are not good enough and it would be embarrassing to go out, so he never takes me out."

"Were you at the scene? Do you know how Master Zhu was injured?"

"Those people are used to bullying the master. They often come to the master's place to cheat and instruct the master to make things for them and do some rough and tiring work."

"If my master didn't do his job, he would be beaten and kicked by them..." When he talked about this sad thing, the boy started howling again.

"Tell the important point!"

Wei Qiqi listened for a long time but didn't hear what she wanted to hear.

Perhaps her voice was too harsh, the boy was startled and stared at Wei Qiqi blankly. After a while, he said, "When they came in, they said they heard that the master was making a treasure, and they wanted to see what the master made. If it was useful, I would make one for them."

"But the master refused to show them, which made them very angry. The leader hit the master's head hard with the wooden board, and then someone kicked the master from behind and pinned him to the ground and beat him..."

"I'm useless. I can't help the master..."

The boy started crying again, and from time to time he would hiss softly at the bruises on his face.

"okay."

Wei Qiqi was basically certain that the wound was caused by the heavy blow to the forehead.

Then she had no solution and could only wait for the doctor to come.

During this time she also asked the names of those people.

Just as I was asking about the details, I heard voices outside and then the door was opened.

The wind suddenly blew in, making Wei Qiqi feel cold all over.

Before she could react and see who was coming, a tall figure walked over and pulled her up.

"Qiniang..."

Wei Qiqi then saw clearly that it was Li Yuan, who looked at her with a trembling voice and slightly red eyes.

"What's going on here?"

"Are you okay? Where are you hurt?"

The two said in unison, Wei Qiqi answered first: "Why am I injured? The injured are lying here. But you, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan saw that Wei Qiqi had a rosy complexion and was neatly dressed, and did not look like she was injured. His eyelashes trembled twice, and he slowly calmed down his breathing.

"Someone broke in and told someone to get a doctor over here. Madam Wei, please wait."

Wei Qiqi heard this twice before realizing that she had misheard.

Li Yuan looked really embarrassed, with a strand of neatly combed hair falling down at his temples, and his face was sweaty, obviously from running.

I couldn't help but pat Li Yuan's shoulder, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Li Yuan tried his best to control his emotions. He didn't even remember how he got here. When he came to his senses, he was already here.

After calming down, Li Yuan asked the doctor to confirm the diagnosis, while Wei Qiqi pressed him on a stool to comb his hair.

"Xiaobao, it's okay."

While she was tidying up, Li Yuan's eyes were fixed on her face and he refused to move away. She couldn't help but comfort him.

Actually, nothing really happened to her.

"Qiniang."

Li Yuan's voice was a little hoarse. He looked at the man who was still unconscious and had no idea what kind of fear he had experienced, and couldn't help but let out a breath.

This foul air dissipated the anger and fear in his heart.

The doctor had already made a diagnosis and said to them, "This man has suffered a brain injury. He won't wake up for a while. Even if he wakes up, he may be confused."

"Some medicinal herbs are not available on Jiguan Mountain. We may need to go down the mountain to get some. You can take seven or eight doses of medicine and rest for six or seven days."

After hearing this, Wei Qiqi turned to look at the unconscious Zhu Youwei, took a deep breath and sighed: "Please go and boil the herbs for him to drink first."

The doctor went out, and the person who passed him in was Dai Jiangong.

With a stern face, he stepped forward and saluted Li Yuan: "Master, we caught two and one ran away."

"Ran?"

Li Yuan said calmly, his eyes fell on Dai Jiangong. Although he looked fine on the surface, Dai Jiangong sitting opposite him could see that sinister look.

"That guy has been in Jiguan Mountain for many years and is relatively familiar with it. After he entered the plains, he disappeared without a trace. He probably went into the jungle."

"He was familiar with the layout of Jiguan Mountain and escaped before you caught him."

Li Yuan repeated the two messages, his eyes narrowed: "Dai Jiangong, no matter what method you use, this man must be eliminated."

"Otherwise, one day, he will give us a painful blow from behind."
