While applying ointment, the two heard Xiaohuan's voice.
"Miss, the clothes are here."
Before Situ Jing could react, Xiaohuan had already ran into the house holding his clothes.
When Xiaohuan saw Situ Jing applying medicine to the shirtless Cheng Jiu, he froze on the spot and his face immediately turned red.
When Cheng Jiu heard Xiao Huan come in, he immediately felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but stand up.
"Don't move, it's not finished yet!" As soon as Cheng Jiu's butt left the stool, Situ Jing pushed him back down.
Then, Situ Jing turned around and said: "Xiao Huan, close the door and come over to help..."
"Ah?" Xiaohuan blushed and was embarrassed to go over.
Situ Jing glared at her slightly and urged: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Hurry up!"
Xiao Huan had no choice but to close the door and walked to Situ Jing's side holding her clothes in hand.
"Take the bowl..."
Situ Jing said as he handed the bowl of ointment to Xiaohuan.
Xiao Huan immediately put down his clothes and took the bowl, and Situ Jing immediately began to apply the ointment with both hands.
Suddenly, Cheng Jiu's hand reached for the wound on his back.
Situ Jing couldn't help but slapped his hand away: "What are you doing? Don't touch..."
"No..." Cheng Jiu said: "My back is itchy and I want to scratch it..."
"You can't catch me, just be patient." Situ Jing was very strict.
Cheng Jiu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and honestly held back the itch.
After applying the ointment, Situ Jing found that as the ointment solidified, the bleeding from the wound quickly stopped flowing.
Immediately, she felt greatly relieved, turned to Xiaohuan and said, "Go get a basin of warm water."
"Yeah." Xiaohuan took the wooden basin and went out to fetch water.
After a moment of silence, Cheng Jiu suddenly turned around and said, "Situ Jing, thank you..."
"You're welcome. You were injured just to help us. Such a small thing is insignificant..." Situ Jing was embarrassed to look at Cheng Jiu's face and lowered his head and said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Situ Jing handed the clean clothes to Cheng Jiu, turned sideways and said, "Put them on quickly, don't catch a cold."
Cheng Jiu didn't say anything and put on his clothes as she said.
What Xiaohuan brought was a scribe's gown. Although it was a bit too small, Cheng Jiu could still wear it, but the effect was very different after wearing it. It looked very funny...
"Pfft! Hahaha..."
Situ Jing turned around and saw Cheng Jiu's appearance, and couldn't help laughing.
Cheng Jiu looked down at his own body and said helplessly: "This...how can this be done..."
Situ Jing covered her mouth and chuckled, and said: "Let's just wear it for now. You can't go shirtless all night. I'll help you get something that fits you tomorrow."
Cheng Jiu nodded, thinking that this was the only way.
----------------------------------
Outside the house, after Chai Yan and Ge Hong finished talking, they returned to the lobby with Yuan.
At this time, only Liu Hongxuan was still in front of the lobby, while Situ Zhou and Wang Wangzhou had disappeared.
"Secretary Chai, Mrs. Chai."
Liu Hongxuan noticed the two people approaching and immediately greeted them.
Chai Yan and Yuan walked toward Liu Hongxuan while holding their hands.
"Liu Xiaowei, why are you alone?" Chai Yan asked.
Liu Hongxuan pointed in the direction of the gate and said, "Here, where are Master Situ and Master Wang..."
Chai Yan and Yuan looked forward and saw that Situ Zhou and Wang Wangzhou were at the gate, closely involved in repairing the gate.
After the three of them watched the maintenance of the gate for a while, Liu Hongxuan suddenly said: "Master Chai, I just discussed it with Master Situ and Master Wang. We will go to Youlong Dazhai at dawn. What happened tonight is of a bad nature."
At the end of the day, Su Jushiyong, the leader of the Youlong Clan, must give us an explanation! Mr. Chai will go with him when the time comes..."
Chai Yan smiled and shook his head and said: "Liu Lieutenant, I won't go into this matter. You go ahead. I'll stay and look after the house."
Chai Yan did not want to go with him, and Liu Hongxuan did not force him. He nodded and continued: "By the way, Mr. Chai, I have something to tell you. We must leave Ganquan County no later than the morning of tomorrow. But don't worry, I will
Leave some people for you to deploy, so as to prevent the Youlong tribe from threatening the county government again."
Hearing that Liu Hongxuan would leave soldiers to protect the county government, Chai Yan immediately felt more at ease. The fight between those government officials last night was really not enough to watch.
"Liu Xiaowei, where are you going to leave in such a hurry?" Chai Yan asked casually.
When Liu Hongxuan saw that there was no one else around, he whispered: "To be honest with Chai, we heard that Lu Dan appeared in the Lintai Mountain area yesterday, so we ordered our troops and horses to wipe them out!"
"Who is Lu Dan...?" Chai Yan had never heard of this name.
Liu Hongxuan immediately said: "Lu Dan is the leader of a group of rogue bandits. Among the rogue bandits in Yaozhou, he has the largest number of troops and strong combat power. Many small groups of rogue bandits who were driven into despair by us finally took refuge with him!"
Let’s put it this way, as long as Lu Dan and his gang can be wiped out, then Yaozhou will be considered at peace!”
"I see!"
Chai Yan finally understood. No wonder Wang Wangzhou met Liu Hongxuan on the way. It turned out that they were going to wipe out the most powerful group of bandits.
"Where is Lintai Mountain?" Chai Yan asked again.
Liu Hongxuan said: "Just southeast of Ganquan County..."
Yuan Yuan suddenly interjected: "Liu Xiaowei, is this Lintai Mountain the same Lintai Mountain where the Youlong people used to mine gold?"
"No..." Liu Hongxuan shook his head and then explained: "Mrs. Chai, you may be confused. The place where the Youlong people mine gold is called Yuntai Mountain, although it is only one word different from Lintai Mountain.
But the two mountains are nearly two hundred miles apart!"
"Oh..." Yuanyuan suddenly nodded: "Yuntai Mountain, Lintai Mountain... It seems that I was misinformed..."
Chai Yan then asked Yuan: "Madam, who did you listen to?"
Yuyuan said: "Oh, it was Miss Situ who said it. I had a casual chat with her before when I had nothing to do. She talked a lot about the Youlong tribe's gold mining, but I heard Yuntai Mountain as Lin.
Taishan......"
After chatting with Yu Yuan and Liu Hongxuan about Yuntai Mountain, Chai Yan couldn't help but think to himself: In the past hundred years or so, the Youlong people have enjoyed privileges in Ganquan County because the imperial court was concerned about the gold mine.
But now that the gold veins in Yuntai Mountain have almost dried up, the Youlong people still don't pay attention to the imperial court. It seems that the discovery of new gold veins may not be groundless!
Yuanyuan saw that Chai Yan was a little distracted, so he pushed him gently: "What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"
Chai Yan quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I didn't think about anything, I just felt sleepy and wanted to sleep, haha..."
When it came to sleeping, Shangguan Peining immediately jumped out and said very seriously: "Chai Yan, don't forget what you promised me... If you want to sleep, you can finish playing chess first!"
Chai Yan was speechless for a while, regretting once again that he should not have taught Shangguan Peining the flying chess game.
