“The physician said that he prescribed Wu Er’niu some potent medicine, that Wu Er’niu would be able to walk the day after tomorrow.” In the morning, when Ling Zhang was still in the guards’ yard, Xia Feng went to the yard and told him that a physician had treated the wounds of Wu Er’niu. “I see.

Would it be long before he agrees to the marriage?’ he whispered to himself …

“Captain Wang, you still don’t understand? Even if I stand by and leave them alone, they will no doubt come here and make trouble for me. Moreover, we’re on Zhang Chong’s opposing side, which means that this is inevitable. I value my own life. I value my family’s lives. And I also value your lives. I won’t take any rash …

Though this was the second time that he had taken a medicated bath, he still found the numbness, itch and pain exceptionally unbearable, as if numerous ants were gnawing at his heart.
