Chapter 254 Selling Favors
Upon hearing this, the chief guard also agreed with this matter in his heart.
Their whereabouts had obviously been exposed. If these assassins had come to their rescue, they would not have been as lucky as they are today and would not have been able to escape from this dangerous situation.
He struggled to stand up and said to the remaining four subordinates: "Clean up all traces here, and we will evacuate here immediately!"
After instructing his men, the chief guard walked to Song Xile again, bowed his hands respectfully and asked, "My son's injury is still unclear. He is still in a coma. I don't know if his life is in danger."
"We would like to ask you to come with us. After my young master recovers from his injury, we will reward you handsomely in the future!" He spoke sincerely, his eyes full of expectation.
Before Song Xile could answer, Doctor Mo, who had settled the Crown Prince, also came over.
He bowed to Song Xile and the others, expressing the same meaning: "Young Master is still in danger. My medical skills are limited. If Young Master continues to have a fever, I am afraid I will not be able to control it."
"If Madam Song can go with us, we can observe the changes in the patient's condition at any time to ensure that everything is safe." There was some earnestness in his words.
Although Song Xile didn't really want to get involved in this mess, the purpose of their trip had not yet been achieved, so it would be bad to give up halfway.
She did not directly respond to their invitation, but turned to ask the Qiao brothers, "Is there any place nearby where we can hide people?"
The Qiao brothers were originally from Nanyang County and they often walked along this road, so they knew where the hidden places were.
Qiao Da paused and said, "When we came here, we passed a valley. There was a small village in the valley. When we came here, I found that the village was already empty. Maybe we can turn back and rest there for a while!"
Song Xile did not speak on his own, but asked for their opinions, "What do you two think?"
Neither of them was from Nanyang County and was unfamiliar with the county, so they naturally didn't know where to hide.
Hearing Qiao Da's suggestion, the captain of the guards thought it made sense, so he stopped hesitating and nodded in agreement.
Today, all of their guards were injured to varying degrees, and they really needed to find a safe place to rest.
Since the Crown Prince still relies on the other party for treatment of his injuries, he still has some trust in him.
So the temporary resting place was decided.
At this time, the rain outside had not stopped yet, and the group walked forward in the rain.
It was difficult to travel on a rainy night, so the group carefully took advantage of the rain to cover their tracks. By the time the assassins came to help, the ruined temple was already empty.
When Song Xile and his companions arrived at the village in the valley, the sky was just turning pale.
Several people chose two courtyards of two houses near the village entrance and settled down temporarily.
Song Xile had just changed into clean clothes when Doctor Mo came rushing over to invite him.
"Please Madam Song, please move to the next room. The young master has a fever again!"
Chen Yunyou stopped the man and asked bluntly, "Doctor Mo, please tell me who the young man next door is?"
He smiled bitterly, "Last night's incident happened suddenly. We should know who we saved. If there are assassins looking for us again, we will be able to deal with them."
The reason why Chen Yunyou asked this question was mainly because he wanted to find out from Doctor Mo whether the other party was from Zhou Zhongyong's mansion.
If the other party is also one of his own, then he doesn't have to worry too much.
After fighting against foreign enemies together last night, Doctor Mo regarded the two as his own people. Now the Crown Prince is alone outside, surrounded by foreign enemies, and he still needs to rely on the help of these two.
Thinking of this, he no longer concealed it and told the two of them Li Xin's identity truthfully.
Doctor Mo said solemnly: "The Crown Prince must not be in any danger, please help us!"
Both of them were shocked. They didn't expect that the other party was a royal relative.
Song Xile thought about how the old marquis had caused the emperor to suppress the marquisate in order to protect his position as the crown prince, and he already knew what was going on.
The Marquis' Mansion should be on the side of the Crown Prince's lineage.
Knowing the relationship, Song Xile did not delve further into it. Given this relationship, she had to treat the other person well.
She stood up and took the needle bag and medicine powder, "Let's go, let's go and take a look!"
The chief guard saw the two people coming back and hurriedly went to greet them, "Madam Song, you are finally here. My son must have been toiling away last night and has a fever again!"
Song Xile walked into the house and asked, "How is the wound? Has it split open again?"
"That is not the case!"
After hearing this, Song Xile breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the wound did not get worse.
Song Xile walked to the bedside and first took a look at Li Xin's injuries. Seeing that the wound had not broken open, he sat on a small stool beside the bed and took his pulse.
The pulse is deep and floating. Is this because evil spirits have entered the body and the person has been exposed to cold?
This is not a good sign. He has suffered an external injury and his immunity is weaker than that of ordinary people. Now the external evil has entered his body. How can he bear it!
Doctor Mo saw Song Xile frowning and not speaking for a long time, and asked anxiously: "Madam Song, is there any good idea? Do you want to change the prescription or medicine?"
Song Xile did not answer Doctor Mo's question, but asked: "Do you have enough medicine with you?"
When the chief guard saw Song Xile asking this, he hurriedly said, "Madam, just write the prescription, I'll send someone to buy it right away!"
Song Xile shook his head. "There must be a lot of people out there looking for you. The pharmacy must be the focus of their surveillance. If your people show up, they will be targeted!"
When the captain of the guards heard this, his face turned pale instantly.
Song Xile pretended not to notice the other person's expression and continued, "And the herbs needed must be adjusted from time to time according to the patient's constitution."
"Besides, it takes one day to reach Nanyang County by horseback, and three days to reach the city. It will take too much time!"
Doctor Mo had seen Song Xile treat Qian Feng. Qian Feng had a high fever and had to change three prescriptions a day. He knew what she said was true, so he asked anxiously, "Can acupuncture be used to assist?"
Song Xile shook his head. "Acupuncture can only dredge the meridians. It only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. You also need to take anti-inflammatory and anti-toxic drugs at the same time!"
She paused and continued, "If you trust me, I happen to have antipyretic medicine suitable for this condition. After I give you the acupuncture, Doctor Mo, come with me to get it!"
After last night and the whole day, everyone was very convinced of Song Xile. They breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude.
At this time, Song Xile was ready to exchange antibiotics from the system.
In addition to wanting to do the other person a favor, on the other hand, Chinese medicine takes too long to take effect, and the person won't recover in seven or eight days.
There are still people outside chasing a few people, and it is obviously not good for them to stay in one place for a long time.
After all, there are only a few of them, how can they deal with a large number of assassins?
