Lieutenant Zhu drank the vinegar and did not vomit this time, and fell asleep exhausted.

Ling Yu really couldn't stand the smell in the room, so she said, "I'll go out and stand for a while, and then I'll check his pulse in half an hour!"

After she finished speaking, she walked out.

Tao Cheng himself couldn't stand the unpleasant smell, so he ordered two soldiers to clean the house and then walked out.

Ling Yu had already memorized the surrounding terrain, and when he saw Tao Cheng coming out, he pretended to be concerned and asked.

"Did something happy happen to your elder brother? He drank like this! You should persuade him, because he will drink to death!"

Tao Cheng pursed his lips and asked: "You are not from Yanjiang Village, are you? Judging from your accent, you are from the Imperial Capital!"

"How did you provoke Captain Cao and get caught here?"

Ling Yu smiled bitterly: "I came here to find my relatives. I fell down the mountain and got lost before I got to Yanjiang Village!"

"I just wanted to stay for one night, but I didn't know that Wu Ergou would catch me!"

"The Colonel Cao you are talking about, I have never seen him before, how could I offend him!"

Tao Cheng smiled coldly, obviously believing Ling Yu's words, he said.

"Then it's just your bad luck! You ran into a wolf's den!"

Tao Cheng seemed to be full of resentment. He kicked his military boots on the ground and said cruelly.

"Little lady, you saved my brother! I, Tao Cheng, am not an ungrateful person. I will repay you if I say I will repay you!"

"But in this mine, even though my eldest brother is in charge, he can't make the decision! The one who really makes the decision is Captain Cao!"

Tao Cheng said bitterly: "We joined the army because our family was poor! My eldest brother is full of enthusiasm and wants to kill the enemy, make meritorious service, and return home in glory!"

"Who would have thought that the superiors would send us here! We can't get away even if we want to, and we have to help the evildoers!"

Ling Yu observed Tao Cheng's expression and saw that he looked pained without any pretense.

She was still worried and asked tentatively.

"Why can't you leave? Isn't your eldest brother a school captain? After all, he is also an official of the imperial court!"

"He, Colonel Cao, is on the same level as your eldest brother. Can he still stop your eldest brother?"

Tao Cheng sneered: "Why not? My eldest brother is a school captain, and above him is General Lu. General Lu sent him to guard the mine!"

"If we dare to leave on our own, the military punishment will be light! If it is serious, it will implicate the nine tribes!"

"Little lady, we are also born to our parents, and we also have younger brothers and sisters... Do you think our conscience won't hurt when we see those women being defiled?"

"But there's nothing we can do!"

Tao Cheng said distressedly: "You just asked my eldest brother what happy thing happened to him to drink like this... That's not the case!"

"My eldest brother is just miserable. He is not recognized for his talents, and he cannot help them... so he drowns his sorrows in alcohol!"

Ling Yu was startled, she really didn't expect this to be the reason.

My heart was touched!

Neither Zhu Xiaowei nor Tao Cheng are hopelessly bad!

"Tao Cheng...who are you talking to?"

At this time, Lieutenant Zhu's voice sounded in the room.

"My eldest brother is awake!"

Tao Cheng ran in happily.

Ling Yu followed and walked in.

Lieutenant Zhu had already sat up and changed into a clean white tunic.

The soldiers had already cleaned him up, and Ling Yu saw a handsome face.

Lieutenant Zhu is in his twenties, with a Chinese character face, thick black eyebrows, and a high nose. Although he is still a little frail, he can't hide his intimidating aura.

When Ling Yu looked at Captain Zhu, Captain Zhu was also looking at her.

"Brother, it was this little lady who saved you with the secret medicine passed down from our family! Without her, brother, you would be dead!"

Tao Cheng complained: "Brother, you can't drink like this anymore. You've vomited blood several times during this time!"

Lieutenant Zhu glared at him, and then said coldly: "Okay, let's go on and on, like a girl!"

"I'm fine! Send her back!"

Ling Yu was immediately speechless. Tao Cheng was not an ungrateful person, but Captain Zhu was the one who dared to love him!

I saved him without saying a word of thanks, just like a white-eyed wolf!

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have saved him, I would have given him a bottle of poison!
