Chapter 20 My lord, my property cannot be revealed

When Chen Baiqi and his party were rushed out of Wubao, which was stained black by smoke, a sudden downpour of rain fell. Although this summer rain was short-lived, it was really timely. It almost extinguished the flames that engulfed Wubao, leaving only a few corners of the wall.

Chichi struggled to death.

The civil riot organized by the tenant farmers had already evacuated, and even Chen Shuyi and others had disappeared. After searching, only a few Vietnamese war criminal slaves whose hands and feet were shackled in the oxcart in the forest were still there.

Although the fire in Wubao has been extinguished, the originally peaceful and peaceful castle has turned into a smog.

The khaki rammed walls were blackened by smoke, and corpses were scattered from the main hall to the fort gate. Among the remains of the collapsed and destroyed buildings, the injured were pressed underneath, moaning and screaming, and some who were tortured to death were bloody and mutilated.

incomplete.

There is a strange smell floating in the air. It smells very unpleasant, like roasted meat, and also like the smell of rotten swamps. The once peaceful and safe Wubao has been turned upside down and turned into ruins. The peace of the past

Peace turns into hell on earth.

The rain had just stopped and the sky was slightly brighter. At this time, some figures emerged from the Wubao enclosure one after another.

The enclosed houses were generally occupied by Wubao's servants and tenants, but women and children were not involved.

Seeing such a miserable situation, some of them were frightened and fainted, while others ran out of the house, screaming, rummaging, and running around in confusion. Suddenly, the dead Wubao became wailing and filled with screams and cries.

It's sad.

Ji Yun and Bu found some cheap medicinal herbs that had not been moved away from Wubao and treated the wounded. However, there were too many injuries and they were in a hurry. Chen Baiqi asked Vietnamese war criminals to act as his helpers. The manpower was barely enough.

But the medicinal herbs were quickly exhausted, and now there was nothing we could do.

Ji Yun looked around and saw that there were still many people who had not been treated. If they were left like this, they would definitely die. He was about to leave for the woods to see if he could collect some medicinal herbs.

His eyes swept over Chen Baiqi inadvertently, and he saw her standing not far away, looking at the injured expressionlessly.

In that gray and black place, a rainbow rain frame fell behind her. Her shoulders seemed to be cut into a straight waist, and her whole body exuded restraint and alienation, like a pale butterfly that had lost its breath in the darkness.

Hit into his pupils.

At this time, her situation was no different from that of the injured. The white cloth wrapped around her forehead had been wet and loose, and it looked dirty and messy. The blood-stained robe was so dirty that it was shapeless and wide.

The sleeves and hem of his coat were charred black, and the ends of his hair were bent and bent by the fire.

Her oval face has slim cheeks, and her face looks pale and blue from a night of hard work and sleep. Her long eyelashes are wet and sticky to her eyelids, fragile and tender, but her eyes are extremely dark and ghostly, like the cold light of steel.

Flashing.

This is a girl who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside.

The wound on her forehead was bandaged by Ji Yun herself. Only he knew how serious the bloody wound was, but she still smiled at him sweetly when she woke up and said nothing about it. She suffered from eye disease at night.

She couldn't ignore it, and she didn't say anything. She even wisely persuaded Zhao Jun to retreat, escaped with tenacity and ease, and protected Chen's caravan and his entourage to return to Zhao smoothly...

He didn't think so in the past, but now that he saw her calm expression, he felt a little suffocated and uncomfortable.

After cleaning his hands, he asked Bu to take out the pouch from the cart, found a clean piece of silk cloth and wound medicine, and prepared to change her dressing again.

Chen Baiqi didn't want to go down to rest, but Ji Yun couldn't persuade her, so he had to stand and change the dressing on her forehead.

"Brother-in-law, how sick is Chen Bao?" Her voice was cool and hoarse as if she hadn't slept all night.

Ji Yun took off the coiled cloth and looked at her hideous wound again. Ji Yun's eyes tightened. After a long time, Fang gently closed her eyes: "About a hundred."

"How many people are slightly injured?"

He stabilized his mind, and when he opened his eyes again, he had regained his composure: "More than eighty."

Chen Baiqi was silent for a while: "Brother-in-law, do you believe that this tenant riot is an emergency?"

Carefully and gently apply the medicine on her, and because she was standing, the binding action again was like embracing her entire petite body in his arms. Ji Yun turned her face away, but she could not help but feel the slight touch and sniff.

I feel the fragrance coming from a girl who has never picked it.

"My dear, you don't have to worry about this," he said absently.

Chen Baiqi suddenly grabbed his hand, his face came closer, his eyes were sharp and deep, and the rhombus on his lips also outlined the indifferent and cold corners of his mouth.

"Brother-in-law, this is a matter in my family. If you don't let me take care of it, who are you going to let it take care of? My father?" Her tone was unusually soft, with a weird smile.

Ji Yun stared into her eyes silently.

Chen Baiqi let him go, took over the cloth and tied it casually a few times, and lowered his long eyelashes: "If this is a simple matter, then let it be, but if there is really something hidden... No matter who it is, if he bloodbaths my Chen Family Fort, my Chen Family Fort will definitely do it."

Punishment must be repaid!"

Ji Yun was stunned. He didn't expect that Chen Jiaoniang, at such a young age and with such a weak and petite body, would say such cruel words as "The king will retaliate" as soon as he opened his mouth.

Chen Baiqi rubbed her swollen temples and walked to the storage pool in the ancestral courtyard with a slightly frivolous step. She asked Ju to bring the largest earthenware water tank from the cellar and put it next to the pool to fill it up.

So he sent the giant out.

She took out all the red potions she currently owned from the "package".

There were eleven bottles in total. Thinking that the people she wanted to save were all members of her family, she endured it, gritted her teeth and poured them all into the water tank. The life potion turned invisible as soon as it touched ordinary water.

I lowered my head and sniffed the water, but there was no strange smell. No one should notice anything strange.

Considering that there were still many things to deal with, she drank another bottle of physical medicine. In this rescue mission, she rescued a total of thirteen servants, Yinhu, and seven concubines, with a total of 365 experience points, but it was not enough.

To level up, the energy, blood and stamina consumed cannot be replenished.

She asked Giant to carry the water tank out, and Giant alone could carry the water tank weighing several hundred kilograms. She took the lead in feeding the water mixed with life potion to the seriously injured people, and saw that their health bars had increased somewhat.

I know the potion works.

Unfortunately, there were too many people and too little help. Chen Baiqi knew that if their injuries were not cured, their blood volume would still gradually drop, and they would eventually die.

"Are there any good doctors around here?"

Ji Yun went out to collect medicine, and Bu Ze was taking care of Run'er and Chen Bo, so Chen Baiqi could only ask Ju.

He scooped up a bowl of water and handed it to Chen Baiqi, who had been eating and drinking. Chen Baiqi shook his head.

"Pingling is located in a very remote place in the north of Chu, and there are no capable witch doctors. However, there is a hermit living by Shengyang Lake in the east. It is said that he knows the skills of witch doctors. If he pays a lot of money, he might be able to hire one."

A lot of money? How much does it cost to pay for it?

Chen Baiqi secretly counted the money and silk she currently had, knife coins × 500, white silk × 200 pieces, and Li Liang × 100 stones.

Among them, silk is expensive. One bolt of silk is equivalent to 720 kilograms of rice, and one stone of millet is about 300 kilograms. In total, she has about hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain in her hands.

An ordinary household can be considered wealthy if it has more than 100,000 kilograms of grain in stock. It can be used as a private soldier, but the question is how can she take it out without anyone noticing?

Being suspected?

------Digression-----

Hahahaha, Jing misjudged the plot. In this chapter, the protagonist did not come out, nor did the scumbag father. Instead, a certain hermit revealed some clues =.= Let me explain, hermits are early Taoist figures. They are the same as me.

, advocating a natural and inactive attitude towards life, and choosing a lifestyle of self-cultivation in isolation. Hermits are generally Taoist figures, and Taoist representatives are often hermits. The second type is those who have the opportunity to hold leadership positions but do not take them, or who have already held the position of leader.

Scholars who had a certain influence in a certain discipline were dismissed from their posts.

A "hermit" is a person who lives in seclusion and is not an official. First of all, there is a "scholar", that is, an intellectual, otherwise there is no such thing as living in seclusion.
