ng Qi nodded repeatedly, "He’s been sent back, he’s alright."
After he parted ways with ng Yunzheng that morning, he imdiately took the already unconscious Yuan Gui to the familiar clinic.
Just as ng Yunzheng had guessed, there weren’t actually many patrol officers in the city. So of them likely headed to the black market via secret passages, disguising themselves as mountain bandits.
Therefore, ng Qi encountered no surprises along the way. He was very familiar with the streets and alleys of the city, so he smoothly delivered Yuan Gui to the destination.
The clinic had always had a good relationship with the ng family and was good friends with Uncle ng.
The escorts from the ng family escort agency often had injuries from training or escorting trips, so they frequently ca to this clinic to see Doctor Mi once every few days.
Seeing ng Qi bring in soone seriously injured, Doctor Mi instinctively asked a question.
But ng Qi didn’t elaborate, rely stating the location of Yuan Gui’s injuries.
Doctor Mi was an understanding person. Knowing that he didn’t speak ant it was inconvenient. In the past, escorts often kept incidents on the road confidential.
Lately, the atmosphere in the county town was tense, and the ng family had been attacked by mountain bandits. Uncle ng even went missing because of it. Thus, Doctor Mi assud that the mountain bandits had done sothing to the ng family again and that Yuan Gui’s injuries were related to it.
He quietly treated Yuan Gui’s wounds. However, the dicine ng Yunzheng provided was very effective, so Doctor Mi just helped with simple treatnt and bandaging.
By noon, Yuan Gui had woken up.
He wanted to return imdiately, as there were people waiting for him at ho. Granny Fang would surely be worried since he hadn’t returned for two days and nights. Her health wasn’t good, and it would be best if nothing else happened.
But there were still patrol officers outside, Yuan Gui was injured, and he and Granny Fang were staying at soone else’s house. If those people reported them to the authorities, it would be more troubleso.
In the end, there was no choice, so ng Qi went to find Granny Fang himself.
Luckily he did, as Granny Fang had been anxiously waiting for two days without any sign of Yuan Gui returning. If not for the family she was staying with holding her back, she would have gone to report to the authorities.
ng Qi originally didn’t plan to ntion Yuan Gui’s injuries, but Granny Fang was not easy to deceive. He had to tell her the general situation privately—the matter of the mountain bandits was not ntioned, but she was still very worried.
Later, Granny Fang proposed to take care of Yuan Gui, and after considering, ng Qi agreed.
Granny Fang found an excuse with the family she was staying with, and then went with ng Qi to the clinic.
Now that Granny Fang was watching over Yuan Gui at the clinic, ng Qi stayed for a while and, seeing things were fine, returned to the ng family escort agency.
ng Yunzheng had ntioned that General Huang would arrive in Chenggu County within the next two days. ng Qi, worried about missing him, stayed at the agency waiting.
But even by evening, he hadn’t seen anyone.
ng Qi slept uneasily that night, and by 3 a.m. to 5 a.m., he woke up and couldn’t fall back asleep.
So he simply left the ng family and returned to the abandoned mansion, where he unexpectedly ran into ng Yunzheng.
So, in fact, he’d only been there for just an hour.
ng Qi said, "I was originally very cautious, afraid of encountering patrol officers on the road, only to find that there was no one at all; they weren’t patrolling."
Back when there weren’t mountain bandits but there was a curfew, there were still occasional patrols on the streets. Now, not a soul was in sight, which ng Qi found sowhat amusing in hindsight.
