Chapter 908: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (3)
"You said I'm a frog?" In Huo Qingyang's memory, although Shangguan Ruojin was not a weak person who could be bullied, he would never speak harshly to him, let alone curse at him. But why is it completely different now?
Shangguan Ruojin continued with a look of disdain: "How could you be a frog? A frog in a well is just shallow-minded. Only a toad would always dream of eating swan flesh."
"You...you!" Huo Qingyang stood up in anger and just as he was pointing at Shangguan Ruojin and about to scold her, he fell to the ground because he couldn't hold the crutch properly.
The finishing blow from Yuan Zheng continued to output: "You're already lame, yet you're still dreaming here. What a toad!"
The sky is under the eaves, and one has to bow his head. Huo Xu did not say anything, but helped to lift Huo Qingyang up, and reminded him in his ear: "My Lord, a little impatience will ruin a big plan. The most important thing now is your leg."
Helped to sit on a chair, Huo Qingyang took a deep breath and said, "General Shangguan, I just expressed my thoughts. If you don't accept them, just pretend I didn't say anything. I came here to seek medical treatment."
It turned out that after returning to the post station in the city, because Shangguan Ruojin had been in the military camp all this time, the people from the Huo family who went to Anyuetang to ask for a doctor were turned away several times in a row and had no choice but to come to the military camp for help again.
He happened to hear about the capture of foreign prisoners, and then he had an idea to share some of the credit.
The decline of the Huo family is inevitable. If Huo Qingyang's generation does not make any more achievements, his descendants may not be able to inherit his position.
In the years after the passion faded, Huo Qingyang never promoted Fang Yunniang to be his concubine, and turned a blind eye to his mother's tricks, because he actually still wanted to marry a wife who could help him.
But what happened back then was so ugly that people who knew the Huo family well were unwilling to marry into the family.
As for those newly rich people, they did think about marrying their daughters into the Huo family, but Mrs. Huo looked at several of them but didn't find anyone she liked.
In fact, she has never seen anyone without good qualities, but the vision that was raised by Shangguan Ruojin back then has allowed Madam Huo to find some problems in everyone she looks at.
And everyone knew that the eldest daughter of the Shangguan family was traveling outside and had not yet married, so she naturally thought that the other party was probably still thinking about her son.
Huo Qingyang is old and cannot be without children anymore. When Mrs. Huo agreed to let Fang Yunniang get pregnant this time, she made an agreement with Huo Qingyang that the child would be given to his wife to raise in the future.
Although Fang Yunniang is her niece, Mrs. Huo has always believed that "etiquette cannot be abolished."
Shangguan Ruojin had no memory of Huo Qingyang, so she had no way to compare this so-called marquis with the young man she once liked. She just thought that this man was stupid, bad and greedy.
Not wanting to stay with this person for a long time, Shangguan Ruojin said a few words to his uncle and then left.
Regarding the treatment, she said that she would completely listen to her uncle.
After watching the people leave the tent, Huo Qingyang asked Huo Xu to support him and bowed to Shangguan Xiong, saying, "General Shangguan, please let Xiao Jin treat my leg. I'm not afraid of pain, and I can't lose my leg!"
"Aren't you afraid of pain?" Shangguan Xiong said contemptuously, "Do you think it will just go away in a moment? That pain will last for years, even decades. Can you really endure the agony of thousands of needles piercing your bones?
Actually, I think the simple treatment plan is also good. Just cut it out! It's all over! "
"General Shangguan, please, I really..." Huo Qingyang didn't care about his face at this moment. There was no one else in the military tent anyway, so he knelt down directly to Shangguan Xiong.
He couldn't exert any effort on his injured knee, so he had to put his center of gravity on his other good leg, and his balance depended on Huo Shi who was kneeling with him.
Shangguan Ruojin did not see this scene, but even if she saw it, she probably wouldn't feel anything, after all, she had long forgotten those past events.
It doesn't matter to her who Huo Qingyang loves or doesn't love now. As for the time when she used to try her best to help Huo Qingyang save face because she was afraid that he would be sad, it has long passed.
"My Lord, there's no need to be so polite now. As for your leg injury, you'd better wait until your mother and the imperial physician arrive and then see if there is any treatment!" Shangguan Xiong had received the news long ago.
On the night Huo Qingyang was injured and returned to the post station, he sent a message asking for help back to the capital. At this time, the old lady Huo had already brought the imperial physician she had asked for and was rushing to Youcheng through wind and rain.
The Huo family never thought about their niece.
Those who are eager to buy something are never interested in buying or selling, but rather in losing money.
Since you don't trust his Ah Man, then leave this injury to the skilled imperial physician to treat!
Huo Qingyang was still very thick-skinned after being exposed. Although he did not mention asking Shangguan Ruojin to treat him, he only said: "I have relied on the painkillers prescribed by a doctor in the army to fall asleep these days.
Since Xiao Jin is unable to treat me, please ask General Shangguan to send the doctor to the post station. At the very least, I need to hold on until my mother and the imperial physician arrive in Youcheng."
"Take him to find someone!" Shangguan Xiong didn't intend to pay any more attention to this person, so he asked a soldier guarding the gate outside his military tent to take Huo Qingyang to find someone.
On the other side, Shangguan Ruojin and Yuan Zheng went to discuss matters with their brother Shangguan Ruoyu.
"My second brother's crackdown went very smoothly!" Shangguan Ruoyu waved the letter in his hand towards his sister. "He started from the farthest places, so that many bandit dens would not get any information for a while."
"What about Tomur? Has anyone contacted him?" Shangguan Ruojin asked curiously.
"As soon as the news of the arrest got out, someone was spotted outside that tent!" Shangguan Ruoyu said with some pride. "As soon as the notice of the five horses' dismemberment went out, I found a few soldiers who like to spread rumors and told them about it. Someone should be meeting them tonight."
"In this case, there will only be two chances to save people." Shangguan Ruojin glanced at his brother Shangguan Ruoyu.
The two men said in unison, "Tomorrow night and the day of the execution."
Yuan Zheng was very responsible and did not interrupt. To him, he was now Shangguan Ruojin's bodyguard, and his duty was to protect him.
Normally, he wouldn't interrupt unless he couldn't help it - that was what happened just now in Shangguan Xiong's tent.
"Let's deploy first! Opportunities only come to those who are prepared!" Shangguan Rujin said, "I will stay in the barracks for the next few days and return to the city after things are concluded."
"Okay!" Shangguan Ruoyu agreed.
The sea was calm for two consecutive days, and it seemed as if Tomur and his men had been abandoned.
The execution took place at the racecourse near the military camp.
Early in the morning, Tomur was taken there. Shangguan Ruojin couldn't get up so early, so he was still sleeping in the military tent!
Because most people went to watch the execution today, there were not many people left in the military camp.
At this time, several sneaky people were slowly approaching Shangguan Ruojin's military tent.
