Chapter 920: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (42)
"Healed? Are you kidding? My cousin has enough. It doesn't matter if his leg is lame!" Fang Maoqing smiled sincerely for the first time since he saw his sister. "Besides, do you think it would be any good for my sister if his leg was healed?
Over the years, he has been unwilling to make my sister his legal wife, and even refused to give her a child. Isn't it just to marry another wife with a good family background?"
He didn't say the rest of the words, but the person who spoke just now also understood.
If his leg becomes lame, he will give up the idea of marrying a wife, and then he will just treat Fang Maoqing's sister well.
After rushing back to the post station with her men, Mrs. Huo didn't believe Dr. Zhou at all until he took out a box of ointment.
"This is my master's exclusive secret recipe. It can repair bones and tendons. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone to try it!" Doctor Zhou said proudly.
Old Madam Huo did not ask anyone to test the medicine, but instead asked two imperial doctors to check the ointment. Finding that it was indeed effective, she agreed to let Doctor Zhou treat her son's injury.
Now, Shangguan Ruojin had a few days of free time. He was in a rare mood that day, so he used the silk cocoons that his uncle had someone bring him to dye and spin the silk to make a fan.
But the cocoon has just been soaked and colored.
Luo Yue stumbled inside, shouting for help as she ran, "Miss, hurry! Follow me to the military camp. News just came in that the former lieutenant general was ambushed by unidentified individuals on his way back. The second young master was nearby rushing to rescue him and is now seriously injured."
"What?" Shangguan Ruojin dropped the thing in his hand almost instantly. "Where did this news come from? Is it reliable?"
Luo Yue finally ran to Shangguan Ruojin and said breathlessly, "It was Lieutenant General Cao who came directly to report the news. He went directly to the clinic. I rushed back as soon as I received the news."
Compared to Luoyue, Shangguan Ruojin was unusually calm. She didn't rush out of the mansion, but asked the guard beside her, "How many guards are there in the mansion?"
Luoyue didn't know why the young lady suddenly asked this, but she didn't interrupt.
"If Lieutenant General Cao can be trusted, then this is probably an open conspiracy!" Shangguan Ruojin wiped the dye off his hands with a handkerchief. "First, seriously injure them, then lure me out and capture me to achieve their goal.
It seems like they are having a hard time! This time, Yuan Zheng and the others probably did a lot of things that made the other party grit their teeth. "
Having said this, she couldn't help but shook her head and smiled bitterly. The man looked simple-minded, but unexpectedly he was quite cunning. This time, she was afraid that he would be hated to death.
Luo Yue became nervous after hearing this: "What should we do now? Should we go to the military camp?"
"Of course we have to go. This time we're going to shut the door and beat the dog." Shangguan Ruojin pointed at the map in the room, "They won't attack in Youcheng, but it's only five miles from Youcheng to the military camp.
There are many villages along the way, so it's impossible to set up an ambush. If we want to attack, the only place is this one, because there is something wrong with the lake water, and the Yousi Lake is sparsely populated!"
"But there is nothing there except the lake, not even a piece of grass. Where are they going to hide?" Luo Yue watched Shangguan Ruojin's finger draw a circle on the map, and her face suddenly turned a little bad.
He covered his mouth and looked like he was about to vomit.
Lake Yousi is not a good place.
Because the death rate on the border is very high, many people who cannot afford coffins will choose cremation. Some soldiers who have no one left at home will also be cremated after dying in battle, and their ashes will be scattered into Lake Yousi.
Of course, there are also some people who put the bodies directly on bamboo rafts and use water burial. Over time, ghost lights sometimes appear on the lake at night.
It is called a lake, but it is more like a cemetery.
When Luoyue heard her mistress say that those ambushing people might be hiding in the lake, her first feeling was that she was about to vomit.
"Okay, don't delay any longer. Let's get ready and go! They are still waiting for us to rescue them!" Shangguan Ruojin asked everyone in the mansion to move, including those who prepared carriages and horses, and those who were to be guards going out together.
The most important thing is to bring the treatment tool box that my uncle had given me, which was specially made for me.
After all, they were well-trained people. In just a cup of tea, Shangguan Ruojin and Luoyue were already on the carriage leaving the city.
The driver was none other than Lieutenant General Cao. He spoke of Yuan Zheng's injuries in a dejected tone as he drove, "My brother Shangguan was very brave. When he was fighting those ambushing men, he kept chasing after the leading man in the bamboo hat."
Shangguan Ruojin was touched, but he still said, "It's better to capture the leader first! The former lieutenant general is quite knowledgeable about military tactics."
