Chapter 907: The Incident (1)

“After the Gu family’s wife gave birth to her daughter, her health deteriorated. A year later, she died of an illness. Not long after, her husband passed away in an accident. The Gu family doesn’t have any other relatives, so Gu Feng can only take care of his siblings himself. This time, he arranged for the commoners to evacuate. Gu Feng was worried about leaving his young siblings
in the care of outsiders, so he secretly hid them and sent them some food every day.” Thirty Thousand pursed his lips and continued, “Yesterday, it was Gu Feng’s turn to guard the east city gate. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen at the east city gate.”
Gu Feng was unconscious and could not send food to the two children in time. At night, an older boy ran out to look for him. In the end, he encountered the black-robed man, and General Xiao bumped into him.
Fortunately, nothing happened to the two children, but General Xiao…
Song Jingchen nodded to show that he understood and said indifferently, “Arrange for two people to send the siblings to Qingyang City. Find a kind family and give them some money to help take care of the siblings for a while.”
He looked at the two confused children surrounding Shen Yijia not far away. He thought for a moment and added, “Find a family who don’t have children at home.”
“Yes.”
“Sister, will they send me and my sister away?” the boy asked Shen Yijia. “Yes. There’s a war going on here. It’s not safe. They’ll send you to a safe place.” The boy lowered his head. “Then is my brother alright?”
The people who were injured yesterday had yet to wake up. To be honest, Shen Yijia was not sure if they could wake up. She could only say tactfully, “Your brother will look for you after the war.”
The boy sensitively guessed something and blinked hard to hide the tears in his eyes. “What about the general who saved me last night? Was he seriously injured?”
Shen Yijia was speechless for a moment. Just as she did not know how to answer, Thirty Thousand walked over. “Young Madam, Master asked me to send them to Qingyang City.”
“Then go quickly.” Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief.
Thirty Thousand picked up the girl and left holding the boy’s hand. After taking two steps, the boy suddenly broke free from his hand and ran back. “Sister, my name is Gu Lei. When the general wakes up, tell him to thank him for saving me. When I grow up, I’ll definitely repay him.”
Shen Yijia rubbed his head. “Alright, I’ll help you pass the message to him.” After watching the siblings leave, Shen Yijia sighed.
“I’ll go and see Brother Xiao. Do you want to go?” Song Jingchen walked over and asked.
“Yes.”
The couple went to Xiao Qirui’s tent together.
Xiao Li’s eyes were red from staying awake by the bed. When he saw the two of them enter, he quickly cupped his hands and bowed.
On the hospital bed, Xiao Qirui was lying there with a pale face. The wound on his back was actually not big, but for some reason, he did not wake up after fainting.
“What did the military doctor say?” Song Jingchen asked with a frown.
Xiao Li said with a long face, “He suspects that he was poisoned. He’s still looking for a way to detoxify the poison.”
It was obvious that they couldn’t find out anything from this explanation, so they could only push the blame to the poison.
Shen Yijia went forward to check his pulse. After a while, she retracted her hand and walked back to Song Jingchen’s side dejectedly.
Song Jingchen held her hand comfortingly and looked at Xiao Li. “I’ll stay in the military camp for the next two days. If anything happens, get someone to look for me in time.”
“Thank you, Bulwark Duke.”
After leaving Xiao Qirui’s tent, Song Jingchen sent Shen Yijia back to the general’s residence. Seeing that she remained silent, he rubbed her head and comforted her. “Don’t worry.”
She was afraid for Xiao Qirui and the other soldiers.
“Alright.” Song Jingchen lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. “The military doctor said that you shouldn’t think too much. It’s not good for the baby in your stomach. Leave the matters outside to me, okay?”
Shen Yijia knew that Song Jingchen was at his wit’s end. She didn’t want him to worry, so she forced a smile and nodded.
Song Jingchen was still worried. He instructed Song Jinghuan to stay in the residence with her before leaving with Thirty Thousand. “Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law.”
“Huh? What’s wrong?” Shen Yijia looked up from her stomach.
Song Jinghuan glanced at Liu Jinbao and said carefully, “Didn’t you leave some black gunpowder behind previously? Liu Jinbao and I dismantled it yesterday and modified it according to the formula you left behind. Do you want to take a look?”
Shen Yijia thought for a moment. “Alright.”
She couldn’t abort the child for the sake of the spiritual liquid. Moreover, even if she did, it might not condense immediately.
She didn’t want to continue having this terrifying thought. In the next two days, Shen Yijia focused on the research of black gunpowder. Perhaps because Song Jinghuan and Liu Jinbao kept giving suggestions, after a few failures, the three of them really replicated the black gunpowder.
During this period, Xiao Qirui and the soldiers didn’t wake up. Song Jingchen was too busy to come home. He ran between the military camp and the east gate every day and only asked Thirty Thousand to come back every day to report his safety.
“Sister-in-law, let’s quickly tell Big Brother this good news.” Song Jinghuan looked at the black gunpowder that had just been made on the ground and said happily.
They had limited materials and only made six, but it was enough to make them happy.
Shen Yijia also revealed a rare smile. She turned around and looked at the night outside. She smiled and said, “It’s too late today. Let’s go tomorrow morning.”
Song Jinghuan slapped her forehead. She almost forgot that her sister-in-law was pregnant. She nodded repeatedly. “Yes, we’ll go tomorrow.”
In the dark night, the soldiers in the military camp entered their dreams one after another. In the infirmary, a soldier could not sleep because of the heat. He sat on the bed and fanned himself from time to time.
It wasn’t easy for him to get a little sleepy. The person in the bed beside him suddenly sat up, scaring him so much that he almost dropped his fan.
Thinking of who was sleeping beside him, the soldier said happily, ‘You’re finally awake. You don’t even know how worried we were. We thought…”
He rambled on about what had happened in the past two days. The black shadow sitting there turned to look at him stiffly.
The moment their eyes met, the fan in the soldier’s hand stopped and his voice stopped.
Through the moonlight, he clearly saw that the other partys pupils were red.
The soldier opened his mouth to scream, but the black shadow pounced on him.
With a muffled groan, the black shadow stood up again, but the soldier was already silent.
This was like a signal. More and more soldiers sat up in bed and reached out their claws before the people around them could react.
Song Jingchen had been reading medical books whenever he was free these past two days, wanting to find a way to treat the soldiers. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. He frowned and stood up to go out.
At this moment, Thirty Thousand rushed in anxiously. ‘Master, bad news. Those people have all gone crazy. They kill everyone they see..”
