Chapter 95: A Storm Is Coming!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After a few more days of traveling north and suffering the chilling northern wind, it started to snow.
At first, it was just ice particles that pricked people in the face, but in the end, snow-white snowflakes gradually filled the sky. In the blink of an eye, a layer of white snow covered the ground.
The refugee camp’s troops didn’t move quickly. With such bad weather, no matter how anxious they were, no one felt that they could increase their speed by whipping them.
In such a harsh environment, the northern barbarian who had been tortured by Pei Qian was actually still alive.
Lin Suisui knew because she had been invited by Qian He to check on that person’s injuries halfway. Although he had a terrifyingly high fever, at least he was still alive.
From then on, every time they arrived at the campsite, Lin Suisui was invited by Qian He to stay in the small tent for a while.
That’s right, for a while.
Lin Suisui didn’t ask any questions about this. She just obeyed and took her consultation fee!
“Madam Liu?” Lin Suisui came out of the tent and tightened her cotton cloak. Then, she pulled her hood up and put it on. Before she could walk far, she was stopped by someone standing by the side path.
Lin Suisui turned around and looked at Du Yuanyi, who had already walked over. She couldn’t help but frown slightly and become wary.
“Mr. Du.” Lin Suisui bowed respectfully and lowered her eyes in silence while waiting for his next words.
“How’s the situation with that northern barbarian spy?!” Du Yuanyi sized up Lin Suisui, who was standing in front of him with her eyes lowered, for a while before asking in a gentle tone.
“You should ask Mr. Pei about this.” Lin Suisui lowered her eyes and lowered her voice, but her rejection was very obvious.
“It’s just asking about the situation. Is it inconvenient to tell me?!” Du Yuanyi wasn’t angry. Ever since Pei Qian caught that spy, he had protected him tightly. He had only let this doctor in two days ago to take his pulse.
If Pei Qian was wary of this doctor, he probably wouldn’t have asked her to help.
“I don’t dare to disobey Mr. Pei’s orders.” Lin Suisui simply pushed the blame to Pei Qian, who was in the tent.
“Then you dare to disobey me?!” Du Yuanyi’s tone was already filled with obvious threat. It would have been fine if this difference in treatment came from others, but this mere doctor actually dared to use Pei Qian to suppress him?!
“Have you seen Mr. Pei’s torture method before?” Lin Suisui raised her eyes slightly. Her words indeed made Du Yuanyi’s expression change slightly. Fear flashed through Du Yuanyi’s eyes. Then, he calmed down and continued calmly, “Actually, being killed with a single is nothing to be afraid of. However, slow torture is the most terrifying thing.
I’m just a doctor. I don’t have your courage or boldness. really don’t have the guts to disobey Mr. Pei’s orders.”
Du Yuanyi had been staring at Lin Suisui with anger, which was instantly extinguished by her words.
That’s right. Who wouldn’t be afraid of a lunatic like Pei Qian?!
“But as far as I know, Pei Qian trusts you very much! Not only did he find you to do this kind of thing, but even the white tiger that represents auspiciousness is also in your hands!
With such a relationship, are you still afraid that he will hurt you?!”
Du Yuanyi raised his eyebrows and didn’t continue to pursue the previous question anymore.
Just as Lin Suisui had said, she didn’t dare to disobey Pei Qian. If he asked again, wouldn’t he be bullying the weak?!
“What are you saying? I’m being paid to do things! Mr. Pei paid me to take care of the White Tiger. Now, I’m here to treat the person inside for ten taels of silver!”
As doctors, it’s our duty to do as our employer instructed. If we spread the word of the patient’s condition, wouldn’t that be a joke?!”
The smile on Lin Suisui’s face widened as she met Du Yuanyi’s scrutinizing gaze with an extremely earnest look.
Facing such sincerity, Du Yuanyi felt an inexplicable sense of frustration. He frowned and was about to say something when he was startled by a palm that suddenly landed on his shoulder. He turned around and was shocked to see Pei Qian’s smile. “You…”
“What about me?! Mr. Du, it’s not right for you to suddenly appear and try to poach my people!”
The smile on Pei Qian’s face made Du Yuanyi feel a little uneasy. He knew very well that Pei Qian was definitely not here to curry favor with him. He wanted to find an excuse to leave, but Pei Qian’s hand on his shoulder was as heavy as a thousand kilograms, making his attempt to leave go up in smoke.
“You guys can go back first. I’m in a good mood today and want to have a drink with Brother Yuanyi!” Pei Qian approached Du Yuanyi in a rather intimate posture, but it made Du Yuanyi feel like he had been captured by a ferocious animal. At this moment, he regretted coming here!
He should have continued to lie low and find an opportunity to give Pei Qian a decisive blow!
But was it really useful for him to continue lying low in the current situation?!
Lu Ze, who had just finished talking to Pei Qian, wrapped his arms around Lin Suisui and turned to leave. The two people behind him had nothing to do with them!
“Why did you leave first?!” After they were far away, Lu Ze whispered in Lin Suisui’s ear unhappily, “Didn’t I tell you to wait for me to come out and go back together?!”
“I wanted to wait for you down there!” Lin Suisui glanced at their tent not far away and sighed softly. “It’s inconvenient to stand there.”
“Pei Qian said that he has basically locked onto the Wolf Guard’s identity.” Lu Ze took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and whispered a name into Lin Suisui’s ear.
Lin Suisui’s pupils dilated as she turned around in surprise. “Really?!”
“Yes.” Lu Ze nodded. “He probably still wants to continue using this as bait to see if we can catch a bigger fish. Moreover, the people sent from the northern military camp will arrive in the next two days. Pei Qian reminded me to be careful.”
People from the northern military camp had come?!
Lin Suisui was slightly stunned. “Are they here for that sergeant?!”
“Most likely.” Lu Ze nodded and replied truthfully, “Moreover, it’s very likely that some of these people are traitors!”
