Chapter 25: Follow-up to the letter delivery, identity exchange

"Inhumane?!"

The county magistrate cried out in shock.

Doctor Qian continued.

"Compared to this, the broken finger is not a serious injury."

The county magistrate's words just now woke up the person who had just fainted on the bed.

A gloomy and hoarse voice sounded in the ears of the two.

"What did you say?!"

Hearing the sound, the county magistrate quickly bent down to help him.

"Master Imperial Master, you are awake."

With his strength, the Imperial Master struggled to sit up and leaned against the soft pillow.

This movement affected the wound on his body that had just been bandaged, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

The county magistrate quickly called the maid to help wipe the sweat off his forehead, then raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, looking at him nervously.

"How do you feel, my Lord?"

The Imperial Master ignored him and looked at Doctor Qian with a gloomy face.

"What did you say just now?"

The Imperial Master suffered severe burns, his hair had been burnt off, and his body was covered with charred scars. At this moment, he had a gloomy face, like a demon that had crawled out of hell.

The gloomy gaze fell on him, and Doctor Qian felt as if he was being watched with a thorn in his back. He trembled all over and spoke haltingly.

"Compared to other injuries, this broken finger is still relatively good."

The Imperial Master's face turned pale and he slammed the bed heavily.

"Previous sentence!"

What a lack of tact!

Did he have to ask such an unspeakable question himself?

"To answer your question, you are seriously injured. If the burned part is not cut off, if it gets infected, I am afraid that it will all be lost."

Doctor Qian kept wiping the cold sweat off his face as he spoke.

I'm sweating all over.

This person is actually the powerful imperial teacher?

Oh my God!

So, he actually gave the national teacher... a cleansing!

With this in mind, Dr. Qian fell to his knees.

It's over. This is the end of my life today!

"Bang!"

The Imperial Master's eyes were wide open, his face turned blue with anger, and he felt as if all the energy and blood in his body were rushing to his forehead. His head was buzzing, and his vision was blacking out.

So, he became a eunuch?!

He stretched out his right hand with two broken fingers and reached down tremblingly. The next moment, his face turned pale, then red, and then blue...

Finally, he got so angry that he slapped the medicine bowl beside the bed and sent it flying.

"Get out! Get out, everyone!"

Fearing that the emperor would take his anger out on him, the county magistrate quickly took his maid and hid away.

Doctor Qian forgot to even stand up and rolled out.

When they got outside, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Doctor Qian slumped on the ground and looked up at the county magistrate.

"My Lord County Magistrate, I am about to be killed by you this time."

The county magistrate was about to say something when suddenly a series of "ping-pang-clang" sounds were heard from the room, mixed with angry roars.

"Ah! Ah!"

"Who is it? Who is it?!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

"I will tear you into pieces!"

Hearing this sound, the people outside shuddered with fear.

After a long time, a voice came from inside.

"Come in."

The county magistrate closed his eyes tightly. He knew without asking, this person was definitely calling him.

He took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

At this moment, the room was in a mess, with furniture and porcelain broken or tattered.

The county magistrate bowed deeply to the imperial teacher.

"Does the Imperial Master have any instructions?"

The Imperial Master had his eyes closed, his face expressionless, and his tone was inexplicably frightening.

"I don't want others to know about my injury."

The county magistrate swallowed nervously, a drop of cold sweat sliding down his temple.

"Yes, I understand."

"A few days ago, a group of bandits looted the Taoist temple and burned it to ashes. No one in the temple survived."

Hearing this, the Imperial Master nodded with satisfaction.

"The things in the warehouse..."

The county magistrate bowed again.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely get it done."

Suddenly, the Imperial Master opened his eyes.

"Just now your servant reported that the team escorting the Cheng family's female relatives was attacked outside the city?"

The county magistrate nodded, observed his expression first, and then replied thoughtfully.

"That's right. It is said that there are many bandits and they are very ruthless. There are only four escorts left. Wu Meng has no choice but to send people into the city for help."

Hearing this, a dark light flashed in the imperial teacher's eyes.

"Are there any casualties among the Cheng family?"

The magistrate shook his head.

"It seems not."

The Imperial Master snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"He's lucky, what a pity."

Even if you escape this time, you may not be able to escape next time!

Hearing this, the county magistrate lowered his head even more

. He didn't dare to continue.

The national teacher asked again.

"Where are the two escorts?"

"He is seriously injured and is recovering in the mansion."

The Imperial Master sneered and said something meaningful.

"They did have some luck, but good luck doesn't always happen to them."

The county magistrate bowed slightly.

"Please rest assured, Master Imperial Master, I have already made the arrangements."

After coming out of the room, the county magistrate took Doctor Qian and the maid out of the yard.

Looking at the night sky, he let out a long breath.

Doctor Qian saved his life, how could he repay his kindness with evil?

"Brother Qian, you should hurry up and take your family out of town tonight."

Hearing this, Dr. Qian's clenched fists loosened slightly.

"and you..."

How to explain to the Imperial Master?

The county magistrate raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Okay, let's go!"

It's too late, I'm afraid I'll change my mind.

After hearing what he said, Doctor Qian did not dare to delay any longer. After thanking him, he hurriedly left through the back door.

The maid realized something was wrong and knelt on the ground in panic.

"My Lord, I will never reveal a single word about what happened today to anyone else!"

The maid raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Please, spare my life."

The county magistrate just let Doctor Qian go, so he should be able to be soft-hearted towards her, right?

However, what responded to her was a sharp pain, and she looked at the dagger stuck in her heart in disbelief.

"You know too much, and besides, it's not me who wants to kill you!"

Wiping the blood off his hands with a handkerchief, he waved to Xiao Si in the distance.

"Get it clean!"

"yes."

"Where are those two now?"

The servant took the blood-stained handkerchief from his hand without changing his expression and replied.

"After eating and drinking at the restaurant, we went to Tianxianglou."

"snort!"

The county magistrate sneered.

"Two idiots, that's all you can do!"

"Is everything arranged?"

"Don't worry, I have already made all the arrangements."

…

Dozens of miles away, on a small road in Qiling Mountain, a group of five people were walking quickly among the trees and bushes.

The leader was a woman, Cheng Qiuyun.

They carried hoes, ropes, and some small wooden mechanisms, and walked carefully on the mountain road.

After selecting several locations, we started digging on the spot.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing and hissing sound. After just a few breaths, the sound stopped and a tree the size of an adult man's wrist broke.

Cheng Qiuyun: "!!!"

It is indeed a magical weapon that can cut off fingers in an instant.

It was amazing!

With the help of the chainsaw, they were able to set the trap very smoothly.

At daybreak, the few of them cleaned up their traces and started walking back.

On the other side of Qiling Mountain, the group of masked killers were still lying in ambush at the planned location.

They could never guess that the hunter and the prey had already switched roles...
