Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"This servant knows his mistake. Please, Sister Xia Zhu, help me plead for mercy. This servant really doesn't know what happened. I'm innocent, Master."

As if he had suffered a great injustice, Wang Dong cried out that he was wronged.

"Erzhu, come in and serve the young master."

Chun Tao's voice came from inside. Chi Xing responded and went in.

"You're strong, so you'll be serving the young master from now on."

Akahoshi bowed his head: "Yes."

Seeing that he didn't say much, Lin Yu nodded: "Come and help me up."

Chi Xing helped him to the table, and Lin Yu began to eat breakfast.

Wang Dong, who was kneeling outside, saw this scene clearly and shouted loudly:

"It was you, Erzhu who framed me, wasn't it? Young master, don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't do anything to wrong you."

Disturbed by the noise, Lin Yu grabbed a teacup from the table, intending to throw it, but he was too weak and only managed to throw it on the ground in front of him, which made him even angrier.

A hand reached out, picked up the teapot on the table, and smashed it, hitting Wang Dong squarely on the forehead. The ceramic teapot shattered on the floor, and the scalding tea poured directly onto Wang Dong, causing him to scream in pain.

Lin Yu turned to stare at Chi Xing, his face expressionless.

Akahoshi then remembered that he was still a lowly servant, and could only lower his head and mutter in a low voice:

"This is nothing, young master, don't trouble yourself with such a small matter."

Lin Yu calmed down a bit, looked towards the door, and said, "Drag him out and beat him to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man's voice came from the doorway.

"Wait, Third Young Master, please calm down."

The man walked over, wiped the sweat from his brow, and bowed obsequiously, saying:

"Young Master, this boy is my son. It is my fault for not disciplining him properly. I hope you will show him mercy."

Chi Xing laughed: "Who are you? If I remember correctly, this is General Lin's mansion."

Wang Tian was surprised that this little servant dared to talk back. He was used to throwing his weight around in front of his servants. He pointed at Chi Xing and scolded him sternly:

"Who gave you the right to speak here, you dog slave? Get out of here now!"

"How dare you! He's one of my men. What right do you have to boss him around?"

This was the first time Lin Yu had ever been so angry, and he soon started coughing.

Chuntao quickly patted him on the back to help him catch his breath, then turned to Chixing and said, "Go and call the physician. The young master has had a relapse."

Chixing hurriedly ran outside and dragged over the most reliable doctor in the manor.

Madam Lin spends most of her time worshipping Buddha in the ancestral hall, while General Lin is in the military camp. Now, most of the people in the general's mansion are Wang's people, and one of the two doctors in the mansion is also one of her people.

Chi Xing naturally wanted to save Lin Yu's life first, as he needed Lin Yu to get close to A Yu.

Lin Yu's illness was suppressed by the imperial physician, who then shook his head.

"Sigh, we're still missing two medicinal herbs. This is going to be tough."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's eyes dimmed further, and Chun Tao comforted him:

"Young Master will find him. He's very capable. Don't worry, Young Master. We'll take good care of him."

Lin Feng's search for medicine for his younger brother was no secret in the General's Mansion, and he had gone to the border on his own initiative to find medicine this time as well.

"What kind of medicinal herb is it? Can it be found deep in the mountains?" Akahoshi asked abruptly.

What could a bought servant like him possibly know?

If it were anyone else, they would definitely mock Akahoshi and scold him for talking too much.

Lin Yu has always been an easy-going person, and among the people around him, only Xia Zhu has a bit of a temper.

The physician stroked his beard and said, "A thousand-year-old wild ginseng, and a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains."

He shook his head again: "Thousand-year-old wild ginseng is hard to find, and the growing environment of Tian Shan snow lotus is extremely harsh, so it is probably difficult."

Chixing fell silent, and Chuntao, upon hearing this, also lowered her head in sadness.

Lin Yu said weakly, "Alright, let's live one day at a time. Chun Tao, deal with those two. Cough cough cough... Just say, just say they made me sick and wanted to harm me."

Chun Tao gritted her teeth: "It was they who harmed the young master. This servant will go and deal with it right away."

On the young master's orders, the servants forced the two men to the ground, and thick sticks fell mercilessly, causing the father and son to scream in agony.

Chi Xing had 250 men knock out the men who were going to inform the Third Young Master. The General's Mansion was very large, and the two men were beaten to death with sticks in the Third Young Master's courtyard. No one in the other courtyards knew about it.

By the time Aunt Wang found out, the two mangled corpses had already been thrown into a mass grave.

Just as they were about to confront him, they were blocked outside the courtyard gate.

Before Aunt Wang could speak, Chun Tao angrily said:

“Aunt Wang, those two almost killed the Third Young Master. They must have been instructed by someone. I wonder who dares to oppose the General’s Mansion and plot against the General’s Young Master. This matter is serious. When the General returns, I will definitely ask him to investigate thoroughly.”

"What are you saying? That's Deputy Steward Wang. How could he possibly do something to harm the General's Mansion?"

Chuntao maintained a serious expression.

"I don't know about that, but before he died he said that the Second Young Master ordered it. The Third Young Master didn't believe him and had already taught them a lesson on behalf of the Second Young Master."

This left Aunt Wang speechless. With no one to corroborate her story, she couldn't very well say that it was her son who had instigated it. She could only accuse Deputy Steward Wang of making baseless accusations.

She was so frustrated that she couldn't get over it, but she still had to smile and tell Lin Yu to rest well, and then she sent over a lot of tonics.

She is currently the temporary manager of the General's Mansion, and she cannot mistreat Lin Yu; otherwise, it will be difficult for her to even become a secondary wife in the General's Mansion.

On the other side, Akahoshi had 250 search for medicinal herbs in the space.

In the previous world, Ayu had been a doctor, and they had traveled to so many worlds. This kind of medicinal herb was considered common in this space.

There were just too many things in the space, and he was too lazy to look for them.

A few minutes later, 250 actually found the medicinal herbs. This time, Chixing planned to make a deal with Lin Yu; he didn't want to be a servant anymore.

In Lin Yu's room, Chi Xing had just finished speaking when Lin Yu looked at him with a cold expression.

"You are not Erzhu."

Akahoshi knew he had seen through it all along and stopped pretending, but he didn't admit it either.

"I can sell the two herbs to you, young master, but you must agree to one condition."

*

Five days later.

The small tribes that frequently harassed the border were captured, and General Pei and Young General Lin Feng returned to the capital.

Chi Xing changed into a coarse cloth outfit and followed behind Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's complexion has improved a lot, and he doesn't even need anyone's help to walk anymore. Those two medicines really worked.

"Actually, you can leave the General's Mansion. I can arrange a new identity for you."

In just a few days, Chi Xing successfully changed his identity. He was no longer called Er Zhu; he was now Chi Xing, Lin Yu's bodyguard.

Chi Xing shook his head: "Just treat me as your servant. When the time comes, you can sell me to the Third Prince."

Lin Yu never understood what Chi Xing was trying to do, to get close to the Third Prince, who was the Crown Prince's younger brother. The princes who were at odds with the Crown Prince were the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Sixth Prince.

He guessed that Chi Xing was an assassin hired by one of the princes, and that perhaps this time he was going to assassinate the Third Prince.

"No, you came from the General's Mansion. Doing this will implicate the General's Mansion."

Chi Xing was puzzled. He just wanted to be with A Yu, so how could it implicate the General's Mansion?

"Don't worry, the Third Prince is a very good person, he will definitely not blame me."

Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh: "No matter how good the Third Prince is, he can't forgive you if he's assassinated. In short, you can't do this."
