Chapter 41 The Man in Black Breaks In at Night
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and many villagers had already seen Wu Junyao approaching rapidly on horseback from afar.
He led a team of elite guards and rushed towards the bandits with great momentum.
When the bandit leader saw this scene, his face suddenly changed: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, but it was too late.
Wu Junyao rushed down the mountain like a tiger, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he swung his sword directly at the enemy leader. Several guards then besieged the other bandits.
The morale of the villagers was boosted and they worked together to force the bandits into a corner.
With no way to retreat, the bandits could only fight desperately, but they looked extremely embarrassed facing the well-trained guards.
"Those who surrender will be spared!" Wu Junyao shouted in a deep voice, his tone cold and unquestionable.
The bandits dropped their weapons and raised their hands, obviously having lost their will to fight.
They were quickly tied up and taken aside.
Just as the bandit leader was about to flee, Wu Junyao kicked him to the ground, and then pressed his sword against his neck, saying coldly, "Where else can you run to?"
The bandit leader gritted his teeth, but eventually gave up struggling and was escorted dejectedly to an empty room in the clinic for temporary detention.
After the battle, the villagers gathered around and looked at Wu Junyao and the guards with gratitude.
"Thank you, Governor, you saved us!" a villager said excitedly.
Wu Junyao nodded, his eyes swept through the crowd, and soon found Jiang Yanwan standing aside, with a trace of concern in his eyes: "Are you okay?"
Jiang Yanwan shook her head and smiled: "I'm fine, but these villagers are in great need of protection."
Wu Junyao nodded, turned his attention to the captured bandits, and ordered the guards: "Lock them all up first, I will interrogate them one by one later."
The guards took immediate action and took all the bandits to a makeshift prison cell.
As night fell, the exhausted villagers finally got a rest, and Wu Junyao began to torture the bandit leader in order to get valuable information from him.
……
In the clinic, Jiang Yanwan had been busy all day and was preparing to take a break.
Suddenly, she discovered that when she recorded the prescription, she was missing a crucial ingredient - Qinghu, and the village's reserves had been used up.
She had to go to Wu Junyao in person to see if she could find some substitutes from the supplies he brought.
She hurried to the place where the bandits were imprisoned. As soon as she reached the door, she vaguely heard roars and screams coming from inside.
Jiang Yanwan's heart tightened and she pushed open the door, only to see Wu Junyao whipping the bandit leader with a whip. The man's face was bloody and he collapsed to the ground, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.
"You bunch of beasts, how many accomplices do you have? Who ordered you to plunder the village?" Wu Junyao asked coldly and ruthlessly.
Jiang Yanwan's face was pale and she looked frightened.
Wu Junyao turned around suddenly and saw Jiang Yanwan standing at the door, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
"Why are you here?" He put down the whip in his hand and walked quickly to Jiang Yanwan.
Jiang Yanwan suppressed her fear and tried to calm herself down, then whispered, "I came here because I'm short of a medicinal ingredient. I wanted to ask if you have found a substitute for Qinghu."
Wu Junyao understood.
The two of them quickly came to the place where the medicinal materials were stored. Wu Junyao pointed to a few bags of herbs and said, "This is what we brought back. See if there is anything suitable."
Jiang Yanwan carefully checked and found that one of the herbs could indeed partially replace Qinghu, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You can try this, thanks to you." She said gratefully, with a hint of warmth in her eyes.
Wu Junyao also smiled and said, "No need to thank me. Go prepare the prescription first. I still need to continue the interrogation."
Jiang Yanwan nodded, looked at him deeply before leaving, and then returned to the clinic with the herbs.
As the night deepened, Jiang Yanwan continued to devote herself to the intensive treatment work, while Wu Junyao continued to pry more inside information about the looting of medicinal materials from the bandit leader in the temporary cell.
At daybreak, Jiang Yanwan finally prepared a new prescription and couldn't wait to start giving it to the seriously ill patients.
After Wu Junyao finished the interrogation, he also rushed over to pay attention to the situation.
"Do you think this new prescription is reliable?" he asked.
"There is some hope." Jiang Yanwan forced a tired smile.
The atmosphere in the ward was tense and depressing. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the medicine to take effect.
Soon, the patient's face gradually became rosy and his breathing became much more stable.
"It works!" a villager exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Yanwan looked at Wu Junyao, and a hint of relief and hope flashed in both of their eyes.
At this moment, a guard hurried in with a serious look on his face: "Governor, there is news from the capital that the Minister of War has made unusual moves, and it seems that other senior officials are involved."
Wu Junyao's brows were tightly knitted together, his expression was full of secrecy.
……
As the plague was gradually brought under control, the village flourished.
The villagers came spontaneously to thank Jiang Yanwan and brought her many fresh ingredients and handicrafts.
A village woman walked into the clinic with a basket of eggs in her hand and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang, these are eggs that our family has just laid. Thank you for your hard work. Please accept them!"
Jiang Yanwan quickly stood up and took the basket, saying gratefully, "Thank you, there are so many eggs, I can't finish them all."
At this time, a young boy also ran over and handed a bouquet of wild flowers to Jiang Yanwan.
"Sister, are these flowers pretty? Mom and I picked them together."
Jiang Yanwan lowered her head and smelled the fragrance of the flowers. She felt warm in her heart. She squatted down and touched the boy's head, showing a gentle smile: "It's really beautiful, thank you."
Wu Junyao stood aside, watching her being surrounded by the crowd, with a smile in his eyes.
Suddenly, a guard came hurriedly, looking nervous: "Captain, someone found a group of strangers wandering around the village entrance. They don't look like good people."
Wu Junyao frowned and quickly stood up: "Let's go and see what's going on."
Jiang Yanwan also stood up and followed Wu Junyao towards the village entrance.
The two men walked to the entrance of the village and saw several men in black wandering in the dark, looking like they were up to something bad.
Wu Junyao stared at them coldly and asked sternly, "Who is it?"
Before he finished speaking, several men in black drew their blades and attacked Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan.
Wu Junyao drew his sword without hesitation to fight. With a flash of cold light, he instantly repelled several men in black.
Jiang Yanwan dodged the attacks flexibly and looked for opportunities to support Wu Junyao.
Suddenly, a man in black took the opportunity to grab Jiang Yanwan's wrist and twisted it hard, trying to control her.
"Don't move!" the man in black threatened viciously.
Seeing this, Wu Junyao's eyes flashed with coldness and he shouted angrily: "Let her go!"
He acted quickly and cut off the black-clothed man's arm with one sword. Jiang Yanwan took the opportunity to break free and kicked the black-clothed man away.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining men in black fled quickly. Wu Junyao did not chase them, but turned around to check Jiang Yanwan's injuries: "Are you okay?"
Jiang Yanwan shook her head and panted slightly, "It's okay, I was just startled for a moment."
