A kiss, and I'll live another day; they begged me not to go crazy.

Just now, these constables thought they had worked well with Wang Er during the previous search for the missing person.

They felt they had done their best, regardless of the outcome.

......

Seeing Wang Er's haggard appearance, and considering the possible consequences they might face after this incident...

Only then did they truly realize the seriousness of the situation and begin to panic.

They simply couldn't believe that the Wang family's precious young master would care so much about a mere centurion.

If Wang's beloved son were to lose his life while traveling on official business with them, what would become of them?

Leaving aside whether their few worthless lives were enough to withstand the wrath of the prime minister and the general,

Even if the Wang family is merciful and doesn't want their lives,

However, simply losing this job was enough to make them feel desperate.

......

It's important to understand that although the town they were in was a town,

However, due to the Qi family's deep roots and influence in the area, and the Wang family's upright family traditions, the people lived in relative peace and prosperity.

Therefore, there are relatively few major crimes or evil deeds committed here, and the county government office generally does not have any major cases to handle on a daily basis.

Moreover, the county government here offers relatively generous benefits, ensuring that everyone has enough to eat and wear.

Moreover, this job is highly respected in the local area.

However, if Wang Er were to encounter misfortune here, regardless of whether they believed they had followed orders to search for him and had done nothing wrong.

But that's the reality. If something happens to the Wang family's little darling here, even the aftermath of the Wang family's anger can wipe out everything they currently own.

......

What's even more frightening is that with the current poor medical conditions, colds and flu are very easy to flare up.

A slight mistake could take a person's life, and the possibility of this is extremely high.

If the young master of the Wang family were to not only fall ill here, but also lose his life...

They couldn't help but shudder at the thought of it.

Thinking of this, everyone became even more flustered and quickened their pace to move closer to Wang Er.

......

A large number of yamen runners rushed forward in a panic.

Some held the reins, some held onto the saddle, and others carefully supported Wang Er's waist and arms.

With everyone working together, they helped Wang Er down from the high horse.

It took a lot of effort to finally put him safely on the ground.

......

At this moment, a clever and quick-witted young yamen runner appeared in the crowd.

He quickly took off his thick coat.

Ignoring the cold, he deftly laid it flat on the icy ground, then hurriedly turned and ran to fetch water.

The others who remained were completely different from the ones who had feigned cooperation when they were searching for Su Aige.

At this moment, genuine worry was evident on each of their faces, fearing that Wang Er might lose his life due to catching a cold.

......

So everyone took off their coats without hesitation and wrapped them tightly around Wang Er's body to give him as much warmth as possible.

Some people hurriedly bent down to pick up the firewood scattered around, while others quickly lit the campfire.

After a flurry of activity, everyone finally managed to warm Wang Er's body up a bit.

......

Gradually, he slowly regained his senses and was able to manage to utter a few words:

"You all go and continue to support Lord Su. Only one person needs to stay here to look after me."

In fact, Wang Er knew exactly what was going on.

How could he be so naive as to think that everyone's warm care and concern for him was merely out of kindness or a sense of responsibility?

Ultimately, it's all because of their illustrious family backgrounds. These people are afraid that if something unexpected happens to them, they will all be implicated.

......

However, knowing the reasons behind this, Wang Er did not think that these people would be so heartless as to abandon him here and leave him to fend for himself.

However, when he recalled that he had only been outdoors in the cold for a short while, he was already shivering and almost lost consciousness.

Then I thought of Brother Su, dressed in women's clothing and even thinner clothes...

If I were here right now and unconscious, wouldn't I be very likely to freeze to death?

Brother Su is all left with only himself. If he doesn't help him, he might die this year...

Thinking of this, Wang Er couldn't help but feel a deep sense of worry.

......

Just then, the constables looked at each other, pondering the situation before them.

Seeing that things had reached such a critical juncture,

But the fact that Lord Wang Er's men are still so concerned about Lord Su suggests that their relationship must be quite extraordinary.

At that moment, two constables were ordered to escort Wang Er away, preparing to take him back to his residence to treat his typhoid fever.

The rest of the people stayed behind to continue searching for Su Aige's whereabouts.

Seeing Wang Er's attitude at this moment, everyone knew that this matter could no longer be taken lightly or neglected, and they were all eager to try.

Determined to make a name for himself in this mission and accomplish something truly remarkable.

......

Everyone had their own wishful thinking, hoping that if they could successfully find Su Aige,

Not only would he leave an excellent impression on Wang Er, but even if he were later questioned about his illness at this place,

Perhaps they would also consider that I had helped find Lord Su, and thus show me some leniency.

......

With their minds made up, everyone prepared to set off.

However, just as the team leader was counting the number of people, he suddenly discovered that one person was missing!

He frowned slightly, his face full of suspicion, and asked:

Who fell behind?

A brief silence fell over the crowd.

......

After a moment, someone finally spoke up and answered:

"Captain, Xiao Liu, who went to fetch water, is missing."

Upon hearing this, the captain nodded in sudden understanding and casually said:

"Oh, it's alright. We can let him return on his own after he gets the water. We should get going first."

......

Clearly, the captain didn't seem to care too much about Xiao Liu's temporary departure from the team.

After all, these yamen runners were all native locals who knew this land very well, so no one thought anything unexpected would happen.

Just as everyone leaped onto their horses and hadn't yet cracked the whip to set off, a joyful shout from Xiao Liu suddenly rang out in the distance:

"Lord Wang!"

team leader!

There are signs of human activity here!

The sound was like a thunderclap ripped through the sky, instantly making everyone present's heart race...

......
