Chapter 232 - 232 'Goddess?”

232 “Goddess?”

On the surface, the garrison in the north had always been led by Gao Xuwei, the general who stabilized the north, but in fact, only a few people knew that the real army guarding the northern border was actually the Yanyun Army, which was hidden in the dark.

Lu Ze had been in charge of the Yanyun Army in the north for many years, so it was naturally impossible for him not to leave himself a way out!

Such an arrangement definitely couldn’t be hidden from everyone. It was just that smart people were unwilling to say it in the current royal court, and idiots were unwilling to think about it!

When Pei Qian appeared in front of Lin Suisui again, it was already the third day after Lu Ze was poisoned.

Lin Suisui didn’t expect to see Pei Qian when she met Doctor Luo.

“Why are you here, Madam Liu?” Pei Qian was about to leave when he bumped into Lin Suisui, who had entered from outside. Seeing her in such a hurry, he couldn’t help but feel a little baffled.

“Since you’re here, didn’t Doctor Luo tell you that I treated the general’s injuries?” Lin Suisui didn’t believe that Pei Qian didn’t know why she was there.

“Oh, I didn’t ask about that!” Pei Qian seemed to be in a good mood. When he heard Lin Suisui’s doubts, he wasn’t angry. Instead, he looked at Lin Suisui with a look of realization and smiled. “I knew it. Who else has such brilliant medical skills to even treat the serious injury on General Wei’s arm. Now that I know it’s you, I’m not surprised.”

“You flatter me, Mr. Pei.” Lin Suisui looked at Pei Qian with exasperation. After confirming that Pei Qian was someone she couldn’t win in an argument, she didn’t want to stay any longer. She curtsied to Pei Qian and was about to walk around him.

However, before Lin Suisui could take two steps, she was stopped by Pei Qian. “Since you came over to treat General Wei now, Erlang must be fine, right?”

Facing the smile on Pei Qian’s face, Lin Suisui’s expression was calm as she said calmly, “It wasn’t easy for me to suppress the residual poison in his body previously. Now that it’s suddenly relapsed, how can it be easy to suppress it again? Please be magnanimous and let Erlang rest for a few more days.”

“Madam Liu, do you trust Gu Erlang that much?!” Pei Qian raised his eyebrows and sized up Lin Suisui. He wasn’t in a hurry to walk out. “Haven’t you ever thought that he has actually been hiding some things from you?

You have to be careful of such a scheming person!”

“Mr. Pei, if you have anything to say, just say it. There’s no need to beat around the bush. I admit that my husband is a little scheming, but so what? As long as he doesn’t harm me, I won’t suspect him!

If husband and wife kept suspecting each other, won’t life be too tough?!”

Lin Suisui looked at Pei Qian with a smile. “I believe that he won’t harm me, just as I believe that you’re actually a good person!

I’m still in a hurry to go in and treat the general’s injuries. Farewell!”

After saying that, Lin Suisui didn’t have the mood to stay any longer. She walked around Pei Qian and entered the room.

“I’m a good person? Ha!” Pei Qian snorted self-deprecatingly and shook his head. Without saying anything else, he walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back and left.

Lin Suisui entered the room to take a simple look at General Wei’s injuries. Although he was still unconscious, it was obvious that his condition was much better than when he first arrived.

“His pulse has stabilized a lot. It seems that if nothing goes wrong, he should wake up in the next two days.” Lin Suisui retracted her hand from taking his pulse and turned to smile at Doctor Luo. “He just needs to recuperate for a period of time, then he’ll be fine!”

Doctor Luo nodded. At the same time, he didn’t forget to mention Pei Qian to Lin Suisui, “Mr. Pei just came over. He was concerned about General Wei’s injuries and came over to ask about this.”

“They plundered a village?!” Lin Suisui thought of the mountain path that King Gu Han had taken when he kidnapped her as he returned to the grassland. She looked up at Doctor Luo and asked, “But aren’t there guards at a few passes at the border? How can those barbarian soldiers get in?!

Could it be that they have some passageway that we don’t know about that allowed them to infiltrate our territory?!”

“That’s not the case. The barbarian soldiers took advantage of a loophole this time and pretended to be a caravan to sneak in! There weren’t many people, and there were less than a hundred of them. After they paid the checkpoint at the pass, the guards at the checkpoint let them in.

General Wei had brought a small group of people back from the West Mountain camp that day and collided with this group of barbarian soldiers.

At that time, General Wei only had less than 30 soldiers by his side. Fortunately, there were still villagers who came to help when they found out that the enemy was there. Those barbarian soldiers were not elites. Seeing that they couldn’t win, they wanted to retreat!

General Wei chased after them all the way. The barbarians faked their surrender and took advantage of the time when General Wei went forward to ask questions to severely injure him.”

When Doctor Luo mentioned this matter, he had a resentful expression. “Those barbarian soldiers are too cunning. If not for you, General Wei would have lost his arm!”

After losing an arm, General Wei would naturally be unable to continue serving in the army in the future! From Doctor Luo’s words, although this young general looked young, he had the potential to become a mighty general in the future!

It would be a pity if his future was ruined by a group of barbarian soldiers!

“Mr. Pei was here to ask about the situation at the pass?!” Lin Suisui was silent for a moment. From what Doctor Luo said, she knew Pei Qian’s motive for coming this time.

The most important holiday for the people of the empire was coming up! Even in the northern region, every family was busy preparing for the new year!

If the northern barbarians attacked the border at this time, things would be bad!

Therefore, at this moment, the defense of the various important passes became the priority! Pei Qian had spent a lot of effort to eliminate this nest of parasites in Cloud Mountain City. He had yet to clean up the ants below, so with General Wei’s incident, he could at least eliminate the traitors at the pass!

After that, it wouldn’t be too late to eliminate the moles!

Just as Lin Suisui was talking to Doctor Luo about these things, General Wei, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly moved.

At this moment, Doctor Luo couldn’t be bothered to answer Lin Suisui’s question anymore. He quickly approached the bed with Lin Suisui and saw General Wei slowly open his eyes. The moment General Wei saw Lin Suisui, his eyes suddenly lit up. “G-Goddess?”
