Chapter 732: Chapter 713: A Life Cheaper than a Dog’s (Extra 2)
Confronted with Lin Yi’s threat, Tan Lu didn’t take him seriously at all, and even arrogantly retorted, “It’s laughable that you dare to lecture .”
His tone was full of disdain, and his gaze toward Lin Yi revealed utter contempt.
“You haven’t bothered to inquire whether the last person who scread at these black dogs ended up as a pile of bones?” Tan Lu sneered, as if telling a terrifying story.
His words were filled with warning, attempting to intimidate Lin Yi.
“Since you’re so unappreciative, don’t bla for not being courteous.”
The mont Tan Lu finished speaking, he let go of the leashes in his hands.
Imdiately, three ferocious dogs, like wild horses that had broken free, charged into the crowd.
The people were terrified, running chaotically in all directions, fleeing for their lives. Panic spread through the crowd.
“Qianqian!”
Lin Yi roared, and Ouyang Qian leapt up, sweeping two of the vicious dogs onto the ground with a swift and clean sweeping kick.
Almost simultaneously, Lin Yi pulled out a sharp surgical knife from the dical kit and accurately threw it at the neck of another ferocious dog.
A flash of the blade, and the next second, with a thud, a twitching dog’s head hit the ground.
Ouyang Qian, quick and agile, picked up the surgical knife and decisively dealt with the remaining two vicious dogs.
Amidst the crowd, applause erupted, as the two coordinated seamlessly, effortlessly eliminating the cruel and ferocious dogs.
“Bravo! Well slain!” Soone from the crowd began clapping first, with many expressing their admiration toward Lin Yi and Ouyang Qian, feeling extrely gratified.
But Lin Yi had no ti to waste, urgently saying,
“Qianqian, keep watch outside. I have to reattach this Scholar’s finger now, or it’ll be too late!” His tone was resolute, his gaze filled with determination.
Having spoken, Lin Yi imdiately got to work, first cleaning the severed pinky with disinfectant, then washing the wound on the hand.
“It might hurt a bit. If you’re scared, don’t look. It will be over in fifteen minutes.”
Lin Yi was worried that the frail Scholar might be frightened, so he comforted him with warmth, revealing his kindness and sincerity.
Upon hearing this, the others crowded around, and they couldn’t help but doubt Lin Yi, thinking that he did not seem like a doctor.
“Young master, are you sure you can reattach a severed finger? Even our renowned Divine Doctor Zhang can’t achieve such a level of dical skill—are you just jesting with us?”
“That’s right, looking at this Scholar with a chopped off finger, he is already pitiable enough. If you’re looking for amusent, find another way.”
Faced with everyone’s skepticism, the Scholar also beca doubtful and weakly asked, “Can you really reattach my finger? I don’t want to—it ans I won’t have to join the military.”
In ancient tis, in order to maintain national peace and prosperity, the court would regularly recruit able-bodied n into the army, and being physically able and intact was a primary criterion for selection. However, those with physical disabilities were generally unable to be considered for the court’s military draft.
However, Lin Yi was unfazed by the skepticism and continued to focus on preparing for the surgery.
“Don’t worry, I can do it if I say I can. If you all truly sympathize with this Scholar, then help maintain silence. It’ll all beco clear soon.”
As he spoke, Lin Yi had already put on a headlamp and a microscope, and the anesthetic was also ready.
On the side, Ouyang Qian continued to contend with Tan Lu, vying for as much ti as possible for Lin Yi.
Tan Lu watched as his beloved black dogs that he had raised for years were killed in the blink of an eye.
“How, how could this be possible? They were Inspector Guo’s prized possessions; now that they’re gone, Inspector Guo will surely flay my skin.”
He knew very well that once this matter was discovered, he would face Inspector Guo’s severe punishnt.
Panicked, Tan Lu rushed forward, frantically picking up the carcasses of the vicious dogs and crying out, “What are you standing around for, hurry up and kill those two!”
“They dared to kill Lord Guo’s most beloved black dogs, they deserve to die a thousand tis!”
Facing Tan Lu’s threats, Ouyang Qian smirked disdainfully, then casually stretched her limbs and sneered, “So in your eyes, the lives of commoners are even cheaper than those of dogs?”
Tan Lu, holding a bloody dog head in his arms, cursed angrily, “Nonsense, your lives are as cheap as grass, how can you compare with Lord Guo’s beloved dogs!”
“Heh heh, they say water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. As an Imperial Mandate, you disregard the lives of the people, so today I will teach you a lesson.”
“It’s been a long ti since I’ve had so exercise, it’s ti to get moving.”
After saying that, Ouyang Qian casually picked up a long pole from the ground, readying herself in a defensive stance.
Tan Lu’s n looked at each other in disarray, none daring to be the first to rush forward.
They had just witnessed the scene where three vicious dogs were killed without a chance to struggle.
This struck fear in their hearts. They held swords in their hands but dared not act rashly.
In terms of ferocity and brutality, these soldiers were not even a match for the vicious dogs, even though they had swords, they were probably no match for Ouyang Qian.
Moreover, the Inspector had already made it clear beforehand that if they truly were to join the fight, it was rely for show and they wouldn’t be put in actual danger.
Seeing that his soldiers were still not taking action, Tan Lu beca furious, cursing, “What a bunch of good-for-nothings, I’ve supported you in vain for so long, I will surely complain about you to the Inspector!”
Seeing Tan Lu invoke the na of Inspector Guo, the soldiers had no choice but to grip their knives tightly and swarm towards Ouyang Qian.
The Butcher and others felt uneasy watching the slender Ouyang Qian about to confront dozens of soldiers.
“They both are dressed lavishly and certainly are not from ordinary families. They stood up for us and killed the vicious dogs, ridding us of harm. If we as grown n continue to stand idly by, that wouldn’t be right.”
“You’re right, instead of facing off against the governnt once, which will end with us being sent to guard the Border at Yun Pass, we might as well do sothing right for the people before we go.”
Quickly, everyone reached a consensus, picking up long sticks from the ground, ready to stand with Ouyang Qian against the soldiers.
Lin Yi was attentively reattaching the Scholar’s fingers, but he stopped when he heard their discussion.
‘No, it can’t be. We can’t let innocent civilians confront the governnt’s n; they are defenseless people, incapable of going against the governnt.’
“Wait!”
Lin Yi stopped his suturing and commanded, “You guys must not go, don’t cause a ss. Rest assured, he can handle it alone. Your interference would only hinder him.”
Lin Yi had full confidence in the quirky Ouyang Qian to dodge the chaotic slashes of dozens of soldiers.
Back in Lingyun City, Lin Yi had learned that Ouyang Qian had been trained in Kung Fu by genuine masters of Martial Arts Sects. Although she hadn’t mastered the techniques, the superficial understanding was enough to deal with these feeble soldiers.
“If you have this spare ti, go gather so wood to start a fire and roast dog at!”
As soon as eating dog at was ntioned, everyone imdiately beca interested.
Most of the people brought here were from poor families who couldn’t even eat at once a month.
So as soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, they imdiately sprang into action, busy and happily engaged.
“The young master is right; we must not cause chaos. We’ll roast the dog at well. Once the hero has dealt with these crooked officials, we’ll invite the hero to eat the dog at first.”
Ouyang Qian smiled slightly; her man was truly impressive, managing to settle everyone down with just a few words.
Of course, she didn’t disappoint Lin Yi either; with a sweep of her stick, none of the soldiers dared to co forward. She wanted to stretch her muscles, but the governnt soldiers were uncooperative.
It seed they weren’t earnestly following Tan Lu’s orders to catch her.
“Hey, are you really soldiers or not? Co catch , I’m waiting right here for you.”
She playfully taunted them, her eyes brimming with confidence.
Back in Lingyun City, she often disguised herself as a man to stir up trouble and provoke others.
Alas, they just raised their long knives, feigning attempts to chop at Ouyang Qian’s stick, but these soldiers seed reluctant to truly confront her, with none earnestly trying to capture her.
“Lord, this is really boring.” Ouyang Qian decided to exert force, and with one strike of her pole, she knocked down a dozen soldiers at the forefront.
Seeing this, the remaining soldiers retreated in panic and terror.
…End of Chapter…
