Chapter 96: Something Happened!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Pei Qian had actually arranged for the northern army to send people over.

After he received the news that the northern army was corrupt and colluding with foreign enemies, he had a plan. However, the reason he decided to send people over was that the Wolf Guard in the refugee camp had been exposed.

This made Pei Qian curious.

He really wanted to see how bold his uncle, Gao Xuwei, was!

Pei Qian’s letter had sufficient reasons.

For example, they encountered the plague, which delayed their journey. Now, they were very short of food and supplies to ward off the cold. It seemed that they wouldn’t be able to reach the north safely!

He expressed that he wanted his uncle to help him since they were all in the same boat!

He should at least send someone to bring some food and clothes over!

Moreover, most importantly, their refugee camp seemed to have discovered the whereabouts of the northern barbarians’ wolf guards. This was related to military affairs at the border, so as the general guarding the north, his uncle couldn’t ignore it.

Anyway, a few days after the long letter was delivered, Pei Qian received a reply even more enthusiastic than the letter he sent.

They were all in the same boat now, so it was naturally impossible for his uncle to ignore him!

Therefore, he had already sent people to deliver food and supplies. He told Pei Qian not to worry and that he definitely wouldn’t let anything go wrong!

As for the appearance of the northern barbarians’ Wolf Guard in the refugee camp, he took it very seriously. He told Pei Qian to be careful not to alert the enemy, and wait for the people he sent to deal with them!

Then, the rest of the article was about pulling strings and their supposedly close relationship!

Pei Qian only glanced at the letter. He didn’t have the patience to read the rest. He threw it into the brazier in front of him.

“Du Yuanyi hasn’t been wandering around for the past two days, has he?!” Pei Qian walked behind the table and carefully checked the map as he asked Qian He, who was standing at the side.

“Fortunately, after we sent them back last night, he, Du Yuanruo, and the followers they brought over are very obedient now,” Qian He lowered his eyes and reported in a low voice.

Du Yuanyi was already vomiting blood. How could he dare to come out and cause trouble again?!

Pei Qian nodded and continued to study the map spread out on the table. Qian He didn’t dare to disturb him. He added firewood to the brazier, then quietly walked to the side to wait for instructions.

It wasn’t easy to travel on a snowy day, so once they arrived at the campsite, Lu Ze didn’t go into the mountain to try his luck like before. Instead, like the others in the refugee camp, he found dry wood nearby and started a fire to roast the food.

Because of the heavy snow, the refugees in the refugee camp hid in their tents to avoid the cold. The tents that had just been set up were already covered in snow before it was completely dark, making it look like a vast expanse of white.

Lin Suisui finished eating early, then hid in the carriage. She curled up in the warm blanket and closed her eyes, preparing to sleep.

For safety’s sake, Lu Ze and the others had arranged for shifts to keep watch at night. Lu Ze, Wu Liu, and the others were sitting by the bonfire outside and chatting.

When the whistling north wind hit the carriage of the ox cart, it let out a sharp roar, completely isolating Lin Suisui from the outside world. She slept for a while until she was suddenly woken up by someone.

She suddenly woke up with vigilance. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Ze gesturing for her to keep quiet.

“Something happened. I probably need your help.” Lu Ze leaned down and whispered in Lin Suisui’s ear, “Du Yuanruo is injured, quite severely.”

Hearing Lu Ze’s words, Lin Suisui didn’t ask further. She quickly got up, put on her clothes, and got out of the carriage. Lu Ze reached out and stuffed her hand into a hand stove. Then, he spread his cloak and wrapped her entire body in it.

The two of them walked quickly and soon arrived outside the tent where the Du brothers lived. They could vaguely smell the scent of blood from inside.

After Lin Suisui and Lu Ze entered the tent, they saw the two medical officers kneeling by the tent. Du Yuanyi was sitting by the tent with a cold expression, and Pei Qian was sitting on a round chair at the side with a calm expression, as if he was waiting for drama.

“What’s going on?” Lin Suisui felt that she should ask about the situation.

“Check him first! Poor thing, it was snowing so heavily, yet he went outside without knowing that there was a wolf outside!” Although Pei Qian sounded rueful, his expression was completely different.

Lin Suisui didn’t ask further. She walked over to the edge of the cave and when she saw Du Yuanruo’s condition, her heart skipped a beat. His arm had almost been bitten off!

It was obvious that the two medical officers beside him had already stopped the bleeding. Although the wound was no longer bleeding, the current situation didn’t look optimistic.

Moreover, it seemed like he didn’t call her over just to stop his bleeding.

“Can he still keep his arm?!” Pei Qian supported his chin with one hand and seeing that Lin Suisui was almost done checking, he took the initiative to ask, “If he can’t keep it, cut it off as soon as possible. Otherwise, he might lose his life!”

“I can only try my best.” Lin Suisui quickly checked Du Yuanruo’s injuries. Although the injuries looked terrifying, in fact, a few key meridians were not seriously damaged.

She had some confidence in repairing it!

However, to leave herself enough leeway, she didn’t say it confidently.

“How confident are you?!” Du Yuanyi, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke. Perhaps this matter had agitated him too much, but his voice was a little hoarse.

“More than 60%.” Lin Suisui met Du Yuanyi’s gaze and replied in a low voice, “I believe you can see how the current environment is.

60% is already the best I can do.”

After saying this, Lin Suisui didn’t explain further. She stood up and retreated to Lu Ze’s side. With her eyes lowered, she waited for Du Yuanyi’s decision.

“That’s enough. At least you have 60% confidence! It’s better than those two quacks kneeling on the ground who don’t know anything except to kowtow and beg for mercy!” Pei Qian put down the teacup in his hand and stood up as he advised insincerely, “Having a little hope is better than chopping the arm off, right?!

At least there’s still 60% hope!”
