Chapter 89 -89: You People Are Crazy
Xiang Ying and Jie Chen, leading some people, hurried to the Military Doctor’s room.
Sure enough, all the medicine boxes were empty.
Even the sachets that Xiang Ying had prepared were taken by him.
Those were clearly intended for the prisoners afflicted with the plague.
Jie Chen turned back and asked Skinny Monkey, “How long has he been gone?”
“I don’t know! Just now, when I was patrolling, I passed by the room where Fang Qian was detained, heard him shouting, our people quietly took the boat and fled.”
“I went to check the flatboat by the river, indeed one was missing, and then I found the door of the Military Doctor half-open, and pushing it open, I realized he had left!”
Jie Chen’s lips pursed tightly, his jawline tensed.
Scar face, standing next to him, roared, “He ran away, and even took all our medicine, he clearly didn’t plan to leave us a way out!”
Xiang Ying flipped through the cabinet, and indeed, everything was gone.
Though she hadn’t yet placed her private stock in the medicine, the Military Doctor’s actions were truly infuriating.
Jie Chen strode onto the deck, soldiers holding fiercely burning torches, standing beside him.
But on the vast river surface, there was no sight of the flatboat.
Jie Chen said coldly, “Arrange for people to pursue, we must retrieve it.”
At this moment, Xiang Ying’s voice came from behind, “No need, let him go.”
Jie Chen turned back, saw Xiang Ying walking toward him.
In the dim night, the river wind blew up the fine black hair beside her pale cheeks, her Phoenix Eyes immersed in a calm demeanor.
“I can cure the patients without his medicines. We are short on manpower now, let’s not arrange for them to chase him.”
Jie Chen looked at her, asking in a low voice, “How confident are you?”
Xiang Ying smiled briefly, “Utmost confidence.”
Empress Dowager Shangguan and others saw the intense light of torches outside, and heard the hurried footsteps of soldiers passing by on the deck.
Something had surely happened.
Old Grand Princess Consort arranged for someone to press their ear against the door to listen to the outside sounds.
“How is it, did you hear anything?” Empress Dowager Shangguan asked.
The person, with a face full of fear, said in a low voice, “I heard the soldiers outside discussing, it seems the Military Doctor took the medicine and ran!”
Hearing this, everyone else fell into great panic.
“We’re doomed, without the medicine, aren’t we truly dead?”
“Plague is simply incurable, what use is there in having medicine?”
“Definitely Xiang Ying showing off her skill, bluffing big. The Military Doctor isn’t a fool, knowing it’s incurable, why wouldn’t he run? Otherwise, when the blame comes down later, he’d be the unlucky one.” Empress Dowager Shangguan pat her knee heavily.
“Exactly, Xiang Ying herself is barefoot and fears not the shoe, but by doing this, she has harmed us, truly detestable!”
The group became increasingly indignant the more they discussed.
They wished they could drag Xiang Ying over and demand answers now.
Empress Dowager Shangguan frowned, her sinister gaze turned to the frail Liu Taipin.
“We shouldn’t wait any longer, let’s take action tonight!”
Xiang Ying returned to the cabin, resting together with Jie Chen.
Moments later, patrolling Scar face saw a soldier guarding the cabin base hurried over.
“Scar Master, that Liu Taipin seems to be doing poorly, just now someone inside was shouting that she’s breathless, I don’t know if she’s dead, we should send someone to check.”
The soldier hesitated: “Should we inform Jie Jianjun and others?”
Scar face thought for a moment: “Elder Princess just went back to rest with Jie Jianjun, their health is more important right now, they can’t be worn out, I’ll go and check the situation first.”
He followed the soldier down to the outside of the cabin at the bottom of the ship and opened the door, indeed seeing Liu Taipin alone and helplessly collapsed in a corner.
And the rest of the people were sitting in different spots.
As soon as they saw scar face, they exchanged covert glances.
Empress Dowager Shangguan held her head high, meaning: It doesn’t matter that Xiang Ying isn’t here, proceed with the plan!
Scar face didn’t notice the subtle expressions of these people and quickly walked over to Liu Taipin.
He first checked Liu Taipin’s breath; she was not dead, but it was very weak.
There were even a few evident footprints on her clothes.

Scar face frowned, turning back to question: “Who kicked her?”
Miss Zheng, holding her nose, said, “We are all gathered here, weak, sick, and disabled, too busy treating our illnesses; who would have the mind to bully her?”
“That’s right!” someone shouted, “We feel unwell, need medicine, quickly send someone to bring us medicine.”
Scar face, annoyed, cursed: “What medicine to take, even if it’s eating shit, you’ll also have to wait for this old man!”
Provoked by his fierceness, Liu Taipin finally woke up.
She turned her tired and muddled eyes, seeing scar face.
Suddenly, Liu Taipin’s tone turned a bit panicky: “Doudou, why haven’t you left? Quickly go, they are plotting to kidnap Xiang Ying, to threaten Jie Jianjun for medicine, they all are sick, don’t let them hurt you, hurry and leave!”
Scar face suddenly turned around, flashing a fierce look: “How dare you!”
Before his words fell, Empress Dowager Shangguan and her group already sprang up to resist.
Someone threw a handful of powder, hitting scar face’s eyes, causing a sharp pain!
The rest quickly shut the door, while the soldiers outside were trying to enter, but were blocked outside.
By the time they tried to break in, the door was already barred with a wooden stick.
“Open the door! Open the door quickly!” the soldier knocked on the door shouting, but those inside were frantic.
They yelled: “Call Xiang Ying to see us, prepare a flat boat for us, let us leave!”
“Otherwise, we will kill this team leader! Since we are already infected with the plague, we are doomed anyway, it’s not bad to have a cushion!”
Scar face, his vision obstructed, swung his fists wildly, but was subdued by two robust men.
Empress Dowager Shangguan immediately said: “There are ropes behind the wooden box, tie him up!”
Liu Taipin rushed over to interfere: “Don’t hurt my Doudou, no, ah——!”
She screamed miserably because she was kicked in the abdomen by Miss Zheng.
However, scar face was not frightened, because on this ship, they were all his men.
When Jie Chen and Xiang Ying arrive, these people would definitely not succeed, none would escape.
Scar face, with his limbs forcibly bound, fell to the ground, his eyes bloodshot and inflamed from the powder.
He watched Miss Zheng repeatedly kick Liu Taipin in the head, his eyes wide with rage and veins protruding.
“Stop! Stop! She is the same as you, all West Zhou people, why treat her like this?”
Empress Dowager Shangguan sneered: “What West Zhou people, West Zhou has already perished, she treats you well, she is a Southern Yue people! We hitting her is justified, who made her snitch?”
She really underestimated this insane old woman, thinking she hadn’t heard their plotting, not expecting Liu Taipin had heard it all.
Scar face roared: “Have you not thought, just a few days ago you were barely breathing, not having the strength at all.”
“Yet now you can talk full of energy and even dare to attack me, this is exactly because of the medicine the elder princess gave you, it has taken effect!”
“The plague is not incurable, by creating such a disturbance, don’t expect to receive any more medicine!”
The soldiers outside had begun to ram the door.
Empress Dowager Shangguan’s eyes darkened, displaying a bit of pre-death frenzy.
“Kill him,” she ordered, “Since we are doomed, then let’s break out! We are diseased, and once they open the door, we will rush out, let everyone contract the plague, none shall escape!”
