PNB Chapter 106: Luring the Thief into the Urn
Chapter 106: Luring the Thief into the Urn
Just as Chu Zhao said, although Ruger's face was pale, he was still breathing.
Wu Chi concealed the vicious look in his eyes, stepped forward and flattered:
"You are indeed a miracle doctor. You can save such a serious injury. Could you please check my waist first?"
The doctor turned around, very angry:
"Who let you in? You can't interrupt me when I'm giving you acupuncture. Get out!"
Wu Chi frowned and said:
"This general wants you to see a doctor, you must see this general first. Is a Turkic prisoner more important than this general?"
He wanted to disturb the genius doctor's mind.
The genius doctor smiled coldly: "In my eyes, all patients are treated equally. If you want to see a doctor, just wait at the door!"
The miracle doctor was Chu Zhao's man, so Wu Chi didn't dare to touch him openly, so he could only leave the tent, but he didn't leave either, and just waited at the door.
After about half an hour, the miracle doctor finally lifted the curtain and walked out.
Wu Chi asked hurriedly:
"Godly doctor, are you done with your work? Can you check my waist now?"
The doctor just felt his pulse briefly and said:
"It's just a sprain. Just go get some plasters from the military doctor. Don't bother me with such a minor injury!"
After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left.
When Wu Chi heard this, he thought that this miracle doctor was really capable. He didn't even take a look at the patient, but just took his pulse and came to the same conclusion as the military doctor.
His eyes flashed and he said sarcastically:
"Please stay, miraculous doctor. If you can't treat this minor injury, I'm afraid you won't be able to treat a serious one either. I think the prisoner in the tent is almost dead. Are you trying to gain fame?"
When the doctor heard this, he immediately turned around and glared at Wu Chi, saying:
"You know nothing! If I take action, even the King of Hell won't be able to snatch the person from me. The one inside, just wait and see, he will wake up tomorrow and be alive and well!"
Wu Chi got the information he wanted, and bowed slightly to the doctor.
"In that case, I am sorry for being disrespectful. Goodbye!"
After Wu Chi left, the genius doctor looked at his back and snorted coldly.
Then she bared her teeth again. The wound on her back hurt so much! Damn it, Wu Chi, in order to lure you into the trap, this auntie even performed with an injury!
That night, because Luger was seriously injured and had not yet woken up, there was no need to worry that he would escape, so the guard of his tent was relaxed.
Wu Chi patrolled the camp at night and passed by Ruger's tent many times, but he just glanced at it casually.
Late at night, except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else had fallen asleep.
The soldier guarding Luger's tent also leaned against the tent and snored.
A dark shadow sneaked into the tent silently.
Coming to Ruger's bed, the black shadow carefully looked around, then took out a dagger, with a fierce light in his eyes, and stabbed Ruger fiercely.
At this moment, Luger suddenly opened his eyes and raised the electric baton in his hand.
"Ah!" The black shadow screamed and fell to the ground, twitching in pain, and the dagger fell to the ground.
Following the scream, a group of people suddenly rushed into the tent.
The leader was Chu Zhao, followed by Qi Dasheng and their personal soldiers.
"Catch him!" Chu Zhao gave an order, and Lu Xiaowu and others immediately stepped forward and tied up the man in black who was still twitching on the ground.
Chu Zhao walked forward and pulled off the black scarf on the black-clothed man’s face.
"Oh! It's you, Wu Chi!"
-
The lights were on in the large tent where the army held meetings.
Chu Zhao sat in the main seat, and Gu Xi leaned on a chair beside him, cushioned by a thick blanket.
After all, she suffered a serious back injury and had to rely on painkillers to survive today.
Chu Zhao stared at Wu Chi, his eyes full of anger.
"Wu Chi, our Chu family has treated you well. Your father has promoted you many times, which is why you have the current position of a fifth-rank general. But why did you collude with Ruger?"
Wu Chi no longer felt any pain in his body. He didn't understand what weapon Ruger had used just now. There were no wounds on his body, but the sharp pain at that moment could make his whole body go weak and twitch. Otherwise, with his martial arts skills just now, even if he couldn't kill Ruger, it would not be difficult for him to escape.
"Major General, please stop slandering me. I have not colluded with Ruger!" Although he was kneeling on the ground, he held his neck high and spoke with confidence.
"What's the use of quibbling? If you didn't collude with Ruger, why did you kill people to silence them?" Chu Zhao stuck his dagger on the table.
Wu Chi looked righteous:
"This Ruger has invaded our northwest border many times. He even arranged for people to do the massacre in Caogou Village. I just want to kill him to avenge my northwest soldiers and civilians! I know that killing prisoners is a crime, and I plead guilty! But I have absolutely not colluded with the Turkic Tartars!"
Collaborating with the enemy is a capital crime and may even implicate his family. He would never admit it even if he was beaten to death.
But killing a few prisoners to vent anger would result in a few days of confinement at most.
Chu Zhao stared into his eyes. How could this man lie so righteously? He would not cry until he saw the coffin.
Wu Chi also confronted him without showing any weakness.
Anyway, there is no evidence, what can a young boy like you do to me?
"What a revenge for the soldiers and civilians of the Northwest!" Chu Zhao laughed in anger. "So, the general sent you a message the day before yesterday, asking you to bring reinforcements last night, why didn't you go?"
Gu Xi also glared at Wu Chi.
Wu Chi pretended to be surprised and said:
"Major General, I did not receive your message. I only knew there was a battle ahead when I saw the signal sent by the Northwest Army. I immediately led the troops to support them! If you don't believe me, you can ask them!"
Wu Chi glanced at the centurions around him.
Everyone pleaded with Chu Zhao: "Major General, General Wu did dispatch troops immediately after seeing the signal. Although he violated military regulations because he hated the Tartars, his crime is not punishable by death. Please show some mercy, Major General!"
One of the centurions, Li Dong, had a flickering look in his eyes and looked at Wu Chi thoughtfully.
Seeing that Wu Chi was so good at acting and had even instigated several captains to plead for him, Gu Xi said:
"It's not difficult to find out whether you have colluded with the enemy. Luger is not dead yet. Call him and we will know the answer after asking him!"
Wu Chi hurriedly said, "Captain Qi, how can we trust the enemy general's words? If he deliberately framed and framed our Northwest Army generals, wouldn't that mean we fell into his trap?"
The captains also thought it made sense and echoed:
"General Wu is right. The Turkic people's words cannot be trusted."
Wow, this calf is really a piece of tough meat.
Seeing Chu Zhao's gloomy face, Wu Chi felt proud.
Boy, your hair hasn’t even grown out yet, and you dare to fight me!
Gu Xi and Chu Zhao looked at each other. They both knew that Wu Chi must be a traitor, but they had no experience in investigating cases. If they were asked to let Wu Chi go, that would be absolutely impossible.
The spirits of the fallen soldiers are still here, and the two men will feel uneasy if they cannot avenge them.
What's more, if the cancer is not removed, the Northwest Army will not be stable.
But Wu Chi refused to admit it, and they had no hard evidence. How could they break the deadlock?
