Qin Rushuang carefully lurked among this group of people for two days, and finally figured out the direction of the gunpowder and mechanism.
This is thanks to Yu Zaizhong who has been working undercover in Daqi since he was a boy. Some of the knowledge and methods he learned were also inherited from Daqi.
Qin Rushuang and Taoist Lianqing learned this stuff and knew everything about it. It took them two days to figure out the direction of gunpowder.
But those people were always wary of her and never relaxed their guard over her. No matter what, there were always one or two people following Qin Rushuang.
As for the room where Qian Ertong was imprisoned, Qin Rushuang never had a chance to look inside.
It can be said that they are strictly guarding the place. Except for the woman who takes the lead and a few cronies around her, no one else is allowed to enter.
In addition to figuring out the direction of the gunpowder mechanism in the past two days, Qin Rushuang was also thinking about how to convey this information to Xie Xun outside the city, and...
She had to find an opportunity to check on Qian Ertong.
Although she was extremely anxious, Qin Rushuang could only convince herself to calm down.
However, the plan could not keep up with the change. Qin Rushuang was still planning how to spread the news about the direction of the gunpowder mechanism and cooperate with Xie Xun internally and externally. Suddenly something happened that interrupted her plan.
Qian Ertong developed a high fever.
That was the second night.
Qin Rushuang didn't dare to sleep soundly at night when she was around these women. She was extremely vigilant, so if there was any movement outside the house, she would wake up immediately.
The women around them also panicked for a moment. They communicated in Dayan's language and spoke very fast. Qin Rushuang couldn't hear clearly. She had to identify carefully before she could clearly hear what they were saying.
They said Qian Ertong's injuries worsened and he developed a high fever, and none of these people seemed to know medical skills.
The woman in the lead was the one who tricked Qin Rushuang into the dog hole in the city wall that day.
She called everyone up and asked them one by one if they knew how to reduce fever.
Qin Rushuang didn't dare to speak out rashly and just waited for them to discuss it aside.
Seeing that no one said anything, the woman who took the lead was a little irritated, and she looked reproachfully at the taller woman next to her.
"It's all your fault. Everyone has been caught. He is our biggest bargaining chip. Why do you want to interrogate him? We have no troops and no backup from Dayan. What news does you need to interrogate him like this?
of?"
Another woman saw that something was not going well and came out to smooth things over.
"Don't be angry. She is grudged because her man was kidnapped by Daqi soldiers in the previous battle with Daqi, so she went to find that man to express her displeasure."
Qin Rushuang listened silently, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard this. They actually lynched Qian Ertong!
It must be because the injury was serious and the wound was not treated in time, causing the wound to become pus or inflamed, which led to the high fever.
This is no small thing!
How many soldiers on the battlefield died not from a fatal blow from the enemy, but from wound infection and persistent high fever!
Some people told them the methods they used to cool down, but the more Qin Rushuang listened, the more anxious she became.
Those were all folk remedies, not to mention whether they were useful or not. What she was afraid of was that they would make Qian Ertong's injury worse.
Qin Rushuang couldn't bear it anymore and said to the woman in the lead, "I...I know a little bit, can you let me go and take a look?"
The woman was probably too anxious, fearing that the most important bargaining chip in her hand would be lost, so she allowed Qin Rushuang to visit Qian Ertong.
After many days, Qin Rushuang finally saw Qian Ertong again.
But the first time she saw Qian Ertong, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
She has never realized so clearly that these women are all crazy!
Qian Ertong was already unconscious, with abnormal flushing on both sides of his cheeks, and there were large and small wounds on his body, some of which were caused by blunt instruments, and some of which were stab wounds.
As Qin Rushuang's eyes moved downward, Qin Rushuang's heart became heavier and heavier. The most serious injury was Qian Ertong's legs.
In addition to the stab wounds, there were also several bloody holes punctured by someone who didn't know what.
Those bloody holes on his thighs and calves actually penetrated the muscles!
Fortunately, several important blood vessels were not injured. Otherwise, Qian Ertong would have died of excessive blood loss long ago!
The overwhelming anger rose in Qin Rushuang's heart.
These women are crazy! All crazy!
She actually injured her most important subordinate so seriously!
All kinds of anger surged in her heart, but she still didn't dare to show the slightest hint of anything wrong on her face.
He just pretended to take a breath and said: "This... this wound is too serious. It needs to be treated with medicine, both internal and external. Otherwise, it will not be saved..."
In the flash of lightning, Qin Rushuang forced herself to calm down and came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
She said to the woman in the lead: "The wound has turned black and is oozing pus. It must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise the temperature will be so high..."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Qian Ertong's forehead.
Qian Ertong was already in a coma due to high fever and had no reaction at all to Qin Rushuang's touch.
Qin Rushuang's face was heavy, "With such a high temperature, if it continues, it could kill someone in two or three days."
The leading woman gritted her teeth and said, "How about we give it a last try! While he is still alive, take him out and negotiate terms with Daqi's border guards. We can get as much as we can!"
"No!" Qin Rushuang blurted out.
"He's injured like this. If he struggles with it again, he might lose his life. Moreover, what if the other party sees that he is seriously injured and dies and gives up on him and stays outside the city to delay with us? There is not much food in the city. We don't have much food left.
I can’t last more than a few days.”
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Qin Rushuang swallowed her saliva and said boldly: "For internal medicine, go to the drug store in the city and search it. Collect all the medicine first. Maybe some of it can be used. For external application, I know there is one that treats such wounds.
The medicine is on the hillside outside the city, I can pick it myself."
Yes, in such a short period of time, Qin Rushuang thought of a way to solve the current situation.
She wants to use the excuse of medical treatment to get out of town!
Find a way to get in touch with Xie Xun in the army, give Xie Xun the arrangement of gunpowder and mechanisms, and then work with Xie Xun to rescue Qian Ertong!
And Qin Rushuang didn't lie.
When she walked to the city, she passed by a small hillside and did see some herbs for external use.
It's just that the herbal medicine used to treat Qian Ertong's injuries is far from enough. We must attack the city as soon as possible so that Qian Ertong can get better treatment!
After listening to Qin Rushuang's words, the woman in the lead couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so she could only agree with her opinion.
She called two tall women and motioned them to follow Qin Rushuang.
"You two go with her, help her pick the herbs quickly, and pay attention to Da Qi's army."
Qin Rushuang knew that this was not help, but surveillance.
After all, they don’t trust anyone except themselves!
However, you have to get out of this city first and then think of other ways.
"Okay, you ask them to follow me, and I'll get the basket. Let's go out now! It's just dark at night, so we won't be easily discovered."
