Chapter 83 Cut it off!
Song Jiang hurried over, opened the tent curtain and saw Wu Yong, who was wiping the blood off his hands with a cloth.

"Mr. Jialiang, Wang Ying."

"Military Advisor, are you okay?"

Seeing that Song Jiang and Chao Gai each insisted on their own opinions, and Yan Shun, Li Kui, Hua Rong and others followed behind, Wu Yong frowned and shook his head and said: "Wang Aihu's injuries were too serious, and the bleeding was not stopped properly, resulting in the skin and flesh sticking together. Now the situation is very bad."

"Mr. Jialiang, you can save him, right?"

Wu Yong's hand was tightly held by Song Jiang. Seeing the almost pleading look in Hei Sanlang's eyes, he sighed and said, "There is no good doctor in the newly established village, and I only know a little about medicine. Although I can save Wang Aihu, but..."

"We are all brothers, what is there to worry about, military advisor? Feel free to speak frankly!"

Chao Gai rarely spoke out for justice. Hearing Song Jiang nod in gratitude, he quickly agreed, "Brother, you are absolutely right. Military Advisor, please feel free to speak."

"Ahem, Wang Aihu's wound is stuck to the cloth, and it can only be cured by applying medicine after thorough removal. If it keeps coming back like this, it will be like scratching an itch through a shoe, and sooner or later the ulcer will spread to other parts, but Wang Aihu has a personality."

Wu Yong's explanation came to an abrupt end. Song Jiang, Chao Gai, Hua Rong and others all understood what he had said, so they all chose to remain silent.

Li Kui was confused. Seeing that no one responded to Wu Yong, he gently pulled Hua Rong's collar and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what does the military advisor mean?"

"This"

Hua Rong pondered for a moment, then put his hand next to Li Kui's ear and whispered Wu Yong's thoughts.

“So that’s how it is”

Li Kui suddenly realized what was going on. While everyone else was frowning in deep thought, he walked straight to the couch, lifted the cloth to take a peek, then stood up and muttered, "Brothers, why are you hesitating? That thing is rotten and bloody, just cut it off."

"What do you know!"

Song Jiang couldn't help but reply, thinking to himself, everyone knows Wang Aihu's personality, how could he just give up if he was castrated by Wu Yong?

"I don't understand, but saving my life is the most important thing."

"If you don't understand, stop making a fuss."

"Don't be angry, my dear brother. Li Kui is right. You should make a decision as soon as possible."

Chao Gai's serious exhortation sounded like a mockery to Song Jiang, who thought, "Why are you asking me to make a decision earlier? Isn't Wang Aihu our brother?"
"Brother, you are the leader of the village, why don't you make the decision?"

"You are closer to Wang Ying, how can I interfere? It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one."

Song Jiang wanted to drag Chao Gai into the water, but he found that the other party was not fooled at all. He then looked at Wu Yong, Hua Rong, Yan Shun and others, and finally his eyes fell on Li Kui.

"In that case, let's follow Tieniu's advice and cut it off."

"it is good."

After Wu Yong got Song Jiang's approval, he asked everyone to go out of the tent and wait.

Later, Chao Gai came outside the tent and patted Song Jiang on the shoulder to comfort him, saying, "Don't worry, my dear brother. The military advisor will definitely save Wang Ying. By the way, ask the mountain stronghold if they are short of medicine. If not, I will send people to the big city to buy some and try to alleviate Wang Aihu's pain."

"Well, let's see what the military advisor says first. Also..."

Song Jiang suddenly changed the subject, turned sideways and raised his head and said solemnly: "In recent days, the leaders have been attacked repeatedly. I still suggest that you check it out, as the saying goes, it is better to be prepared."

"Since you asked me to, I will arrange it tomorrow." Chao Gai saw that Song Jiang mentioned it twice and Wang Aihu was indeed seriously injured, so he nodded and agreed to it. But after agreeing, he looked at Li Kui and muttered to himself: "Wang Aihu seems to have been injured by an external object, but I can't tell what kind of hidden weapon it was. Besides, none of the leaders on the mountain are good at using hidden weapons. Where should I start to investigate this matter?"

"I think"

"Tie Niu, go in and help." "Oh"

Song Jiang didn't want to be disturbed by Li Kui, so he sent him to help Wu Yong. Although this black man acted recklessly, he was able to obey orders.

After Li Kui was transferred away, Song Jiang took Chao Gai aside and whispered, "Brother, there are tens of thousands of followers in Liangshan. Perhaps some of them have special skills, just like Yang Chang before. He has a thin body but is born with supernatural power, so it's hard to say."

"What suggestions do you have, brother?"

"Let's investigate whether anyone on the mountain has made any unusual movements from last evening to night. The scope of the investigation can cover all eight villages, but the focus will be on the front mountain and the left and right dry villages. I suggest that Pei Xuan be in charge of this matter."

"Pei Xuan is a good fit, but it might be inconvenient for him to go alone. I'll let Bai Sheng come along to assist."

Chao Gai thought, Pei Xuan is the person you brought here, using the investigation to secretly recruit talents? Then I have to take precautions and send out the White Rat to act as a watch.

The chief of the village made the final decision, and the second chief could not refute it.

Wang Aihu was sometimes unconscious and sometimes roaring, groaning in pain intermittently throughout the night. His fever did not subside until dawn the next day, and his life was barely saved.

Song Jiang, Chao Gai and others also stayed up all night. During the night, Dai Zong was invited to the foot of the mountain for questioning. He recounted how he ran away in anger last night and was amazed at the attack on Wang Aihu.

Dai Zong had the unique skill of super speed and had no motive to harm Wang Ying. Besides, he was Song Jiang's confidant, so he would not be suspected. So he was ordered to go to Jeju to buy medicine that night.

The commander Lin Chong, who angrily scolded Wang Ying, was also listed as a suspect by Song Jiang and Chao Gai.

First of all, as the instructor of the 800,000 imperial guards, it is not necessarily that he does not know any special hidden weapons; secondly, Lin Chong has always been taciturn and has almost no good friends with any of the leaders, so it is unreasonable for him to be angry with Yang Chang and his wife; finally, Mrs. Lin is Lin Chong's nightmare, and Wang Aihu's lust is written all over his face. It would be more reasonable for him to mistake him for Gao Yanei and kill him in anger.

However, suspicion is suspicion, and inference is inference.

Without solid evidence, Song Jiang would never dare to blame Lin Chong, and Chao Gai would not stand idly by.

The next morning, Lin Chong got the news and went to the mountain to visit in person.

That upright look and the calmness in his every move made it hard to believe that he was the one behind it.

After discussion, Song Jiang and Chao Gai transferred Zheng Tianshou to help Yan Shun take care of Wang Aihu, and asked them to suppress the matter and not let it spread outside. The other leaders all returned to their positions and performed their duties, while Pei Xuan and Bai Sheng secretly started the "talent census" task.

After Yang Chang succeeded in his sneak attack, he kept a low profile and never went up the mountain to attend the leader's banquet again. He stayed in the back mountain every day to practice riding and cooperate with Hu Sanniang to train the fifty personal soldiers.

It was not until more than ten days later that it was the fifth day of June.

It was the turn of Yang Chang and his wife to host the banquet that day. Originally, they could have invited the Tong brothers, the Sun Li brothers, Jin Dajian, Hou Jian and others, but they were worried that their good popularity would arouse jealousy, so they only sent their personal soldiers to invite Li Jun and Xiao Rang.

Yang Chang hunted some game in advance, cooked a table of food and wine himself, and planned to have a small gathering with Li Jun and Xiao Rang.

At noon, Cheng Wang, a personal soldier in front of the tent, came to report that the leader who was going to the banquet had entered the camp.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chang and Hu Sanniang went out to greet them. In the front was the tall and straight Li Jun, and behind him were three leaders. In addition to Xiao Rang, who was still dressed as a scholar, there were also Pei Xuan and Bai Sheng, with whom he was not very close.

Seeing the two people coming uninvited, Hu Sanniang looked at Yang Chang in surprise.

"Sir, you didn't ask me."

"It's okay, everyone here is a guest, add two more pairs of chopsticks."

Yang Chang waved to Hu Sanniang, then walked over with a smile.
