Chapter 5 Rhetorical Questions

The sky was dimming, and screams rang out from the Chinese army's tent.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you! Someone come here quickly!"

The soldiers outside the door rushed in immediately and saw Chen Danzhu, who was wearing only a thin shirt with loose hair, kneeling in front of the desk, his face turned pale and he shook Li Liang.

Li Liang lay motionless on the desk, with maps and documents unfolded under his arms.

"I woke up and saw my brother-in-law sleeping like this." Chen Danzhu cried with tears. "I wanted him to go to bed to sleep, but he didn't wake up even if I called him. I don't think it's right."

It was indeed not right. Li Liang had always been wary. The shouts of girls and the footsteps of soldiers and guards were so noisy. No matter how tired he was, he would not sleep so deeply.

A group of people stepped forward and carefully laid Li Liang down. The soldiers checked his breathing and found that he was still breathing, but his face was not good. The doctor was immediately called in, and at the first glance he said that the general was unconscious.

Chen Danzhu stood aside, wrapped in clothes and asked nervously: "Brother-in-law, are you exhausted?" He then asked the soldiers, "What's going on? How do you take care of my brother-in-law?" Tears fell again, "

My brother is no longer here, if something happens to my brother-in-law again."

The soldiers were upset by the little girl's cry: "Second Miss, please don't cry yet. The General is always in good health."

The guards of the Chen family also came at this time, and they were very rude to Li Liang's soldiers: "The general is always in good health, how could he be like this? When is it now? The second lady can't even ask?"

Li Liang's soldiers did not dare to argue with them, so they could only lower their heads and said, "Please let the doctor take a look before talking."

Chen Danzhu was surrounded by guards and stood aside, watching the doctor diagnose and treat Li Liang. He looked, heard and questioned before taking out a silver needle and pricking Li Liang's finger. Li Liang didn't react at all, and the doctor's brows became more and more frowning.

"Has the General eaten anything?" he turned around and asked.

Chen Danzhu said: "My brother-in-law made meat porridge for me. I ate a bowl and my brother-in-law used the rest."

The soldier also nodded and confirmed what Chen Danzhu said, adding: "The second lady went to bed early, and the general did not ask for a midnight snack for fear of disturbing her."

That is, she only ate the same thing as Miss Chen Er. The doctor took a look and saw that Miss Chen Er was as pale and weak as yesterday, and had no other symptoms.

The doctor sniffed: "This medicine smell-"

"I'm taking medicine." Chen Danzhu said, "I took medicine to sleep last night, and I also took some soothing medicine to smoke it."

The doctor also knew that as soon as Chen Danzhu arrived, he was called by Li Liang and said that the second lady was not feeling well. He checked carefully and also checked the second lady's medicine, which was a very common medicine.

It's just that the faint medicinal smell smells a bit strange at this time, maybe it's muddy due to the crowds coming in.

The most important thing was that Miss Chen Er, who had been with Li Liang all night, was not abnormal. The doctor thought carefully and asked: "What has the general eaten these days?"

The three lieutenants in the army also came over after hearing the news. When they heard this, they realized something was wrong and asked the doctor directly: "What do you mean by this? What happened to the general?"

The doctor then said directly: "The general must have been poisoned."

Everyone in the tent was shocked when they heard this, "How is this possible?" "Poisoning?" they shouted randomly. Some people turned around and wanted to go out, "I'll go find another doctor." But a female voice shrilled above the noise.

"Everyone, stop!" Chen Danzhu shouted, "No one is allowed to walk around."

Everyone was quiet, and saw that the little girl's face turned pale, and she clenched her hands in front of her body: "You are not allowed to leave, you are all suspected of harming my brother-in-law!"

As soon as this statement came out, the people in the tent became even more confused: "Second Miss!" "We don't have one!" "We are the general's people, how can we harm the general?"

Chen Danzhu looked at them, biting his lower lip with his thin teeth and shouted sharply: "How is it impossible? My brother was killed in the army! He killed my brother, and now he wants to kill my brother-in-law, and maybe even more.

Me, why did something happen to my brother-in-law as soon as I came here!"

Hearing what she said, five guards from the Chen family surrounded Chen Danzhu tightly.

The lieutenants in the tent came to their senses when they heard this, and were a little dumbfounded. This child was frightened and confused, and was unreasonable. Alas, I didn't expect a fifteen-year-old girl to be reasonable.

"Second Miss." A lieutenant general in his forties said, "You recognize me, I am Li Bao, the commander-in-chief of the Taifu. My life was saved by the Taifu. If anyone wants to harm the Taifu, I will

The first one deserves to die."

"Yes, Second Miss, don't be afraid." Another lieutenant comforted him, "Most of the people here are Taifu's subordinates."

His eyes turned red when he said this.

"We are also heartbroken by the death of Master Danyang, although -"

Although the death of Master Danyang was not considered by the king to be a man-made disaster, they all knew what was going on.

"We will definitely avenge Master Danyang."

Chen Danzhu knew that more than half of the people here were Chen Liehu's subordinates, but some of them were not. Her father had been away from military power for many years, and Wu's troops had long been torn apart. Moreover, she glanced at the people in the room slightly, even if

More than half of Chen Liehu's tribe became Li Liang's tribe.

It's enough to get to this point, and any further trouble will be self-defeating. Chen Danzhu sniffed, tears welling up in his eyes: "Can my brother-in-law be cured?"

Alas, everyone in the tent felt heavy in their hearts.

"Second Miss, don't worry." Lieutenant General Li Baodao said, "We will find the best doctor right now."

Everyone was about to take a step forward, but Chen Danzhu once again said, "Wait a minute."

Alas, the child is really difficult to deal with, and everyone is a little helpless.

"Vice General Li, I think this matter should not be made public." Chen Danzhu looked at him, tears trembling on her long eyelashes, but the little girl tried her best to stay calm and not let them fall, "Since my brother-in-law was killed by someone,

, the traitor is already in our army, once it is known that my brother-in-law has been poisoned and his plot succeeds, they will cause a big mess."

Indeed, everyone in the tent looked stern. Chen Danzhu glanced over, and as expected, he saw a few people with strange expressions - there were indeed exquisite works of the imperial court in the army, and the biggest one was Li Liang. Li Liang

His confidants must know.

She lowered her gaze and raised her hand to press her nose to make her nasal sounds thicker.

"How long can I hide it until my brother-in-law wakes up or my father knows the news?"

Li Bao and others looked at each other, exchanged a few words in a low voice, and looked at Chen Danzhu with softer eyes: "Okay, Second Miss, we know what to do, don't worry."

Chen Danzhu looked at them: "I happen to be sick. If you ask the doctor to take medicine, you can say it's me. My brother-in-law can also take care of me and not see other people."

Li Bao and others nodded, and then said solemnly to the soldiers in the tent: "Guard the Chinese army's tent and follow the instructions of the second lady."

The soldiers responded in unison, and Li Bao and others hurried out. As expected, many people came to inquire outside the tent, but they all dismissed them.

Chen Danzhu sat in the tent, looking at Li Liang who was unconscious on the bed, covering him with a thin quilt, and pursed his lips. Li Liang would not wake up, and would be completely dead in five days at most.

She leaned close to Li Liang's ear: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will send that woman and your son to accompany you."

Tears fell from the corners of Li Liang's tightly closed eyes, and Chen Danzhu raised his hand to wipe them away for him.
