After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 487: What to Do?

As the figure disappeared, Lin Rusi was not going to stay put. Instead, she opened the medicine box and used the remaining herbs inside to make medicine for her injuries.

The guards saw Lin Rusi's appearance, hesitated for a while before finally squatting down next to another guard who was unconscious.

He didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but he took out a small sachet from the other person's pocket.

Lin Rusi knew this was a last-ditch effort, so she worked even faster, only raising her head to wipe the sweat from her forehead after the last dose of herbs was used up.

"How much time has passed? What was the situation like?"

"The sound of weapons clashing has decreased, but it's clear that someone is avoiding your powder."

Lin Rusi had already guessed this would be the case, so she didn't react much. Instead, she stared straight outside, hoping to get a positive response.

Fortunately, about an incense stick's time after the guards left, several figures with tattered clothes and covered in scarlet blood returned.

As it grew dark, the two could no longer see clearly outside, so they picked up their weapons, preparing to strike when someone approached.

Fortunately, as the figures drew closer, she was able to identify the individuals and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's them. Go out and meet them."

"Yes."

The man was even more excited than Lin Rusi. He pushed the stone aside and quickly ran forward to carry his injured and immobile brother back.

"Thanks to the medicine powder given by the lady, otherwise we might not have made it back."

"This is still too dangerous; we must leave as soon as possible."

No one objected to the statement, but all eyes were on the cave, making the meaning even more explicit.

That is, whether Li Jingyang can leave.

Lin Rusi met their gazes and couldn't help but sigh. She then waved and handed over the already wrapped wound medicine.

"These are all we have. Use them on the deeper wounds. I'll look around the area and see if there are any other wounds that need treatment."

“Madam can go somewhere else; it’s no longer safe here.”

She knew it was unsafe, but if she couldn't get her wound bandaged, she would eventually be unable to walk.

Lin Rusi didn't waste any more words with anyone and directly took the guards with too many wounds aside to have them bandaged.

All the visible parts were bandaged, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, Lin Rusi disregarded all other manners, roughly wiped it clean with her sleeve, and then placed the water jug ​​filled with water aside.

"Is there anyone else who needs their injuries treated?"

"That's all. Madam, why don't you rest for a while? You've been busy for the three of them for an hour."

An hour has passed already?

Looking at the three people resting against the wall, Lin Rusi also felt weak and sat down against the wall.

I grabbed the water bag from my waist, took a couple of sips, and only then did I feel like I was alive again.

Slowly closing her eyes, she was met with Li Jingyang, who was still lying inside, opening them again.

"I'll go in and check on Jingyang. You all rest well outside. If there's nothing else, you can leave during the day."

"Yes."

Having received a response, Lin Rusi stopped looking at the other person and quickly walked towards the corner where Li Jingyang was resting.

But before she could take a few steps, a noise came from outside, forcing her to stop and turn around.

The next instant, the cave, which had been covered by tree branches, was suddenly ripped open.

"Madam, something terrible has happened."

"Is that so? You don't mean those people have come looking for us again?"

The guard shook his head, but did not retract it; instead, he walked straight forward.

Sensing that something was amiss, Lin Rusi glanced at the motionless Li Jingyang out of the corner of her eye and led him to another location.

As soon as we stood still, the other person couldn't wait to tell us what had happened that day.

"Those people are the county magistrate's men."

"I can guess what other news is coming?"

The guard composed himself slightly, making sure he wouldn't get too excited and frighten Lin Rusi, before handing her a note.

Before I could even understand what was going on, I discovered a mark that I knew all too well: a bloody fingerprint.

This means that someone has been killed.

Lin Rusi quickly lowered her head and saw the ten characters that were not very obvious.

The county magistrate underwent a change of fortune.

Lin Rusi couldn't be sure what this so-called "one side" was, but the only thing she was sure of was that it wasn't good news for their group.

"I don't know why, but I feel uneasy. You should take this time to rest and try to recover your strength."

"Please don't worry, Madam. I will do everything in my power to get you and Master out of here."

"I'm afraid that none of the people left outside will be left."

That shouldn't be the case.

The guards dared not speak out, and could only cautiously look at the gap that had been opened, letting out another sigh.

"In any case, let the majority of people go out together tomorrow."

"Yes."

After saying this, the guard immediately moved one of the more seriously injured people to a deeper area so that the others could rest better.

But as he tried to get up, a hand grabbed him.

"what are you doing?"

"We're leaving tomorrow, so you need to take good care of yourself. You're the fastest runner among us."

The man glanced at his battered body and was about to argue when someone covered his mouth.

"Get some rest. We need you to switch to the last shift tomorrow."

"I see."

After saying those words, the person fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Rusi examined the man again to make sure he was out of danger before turning back to Li Jingyang.

Noticing a blush on her pale face, she worried that it was a relapse of her illness and immediately brought her hand closer, only to find that her temperature was normal.

"It seems there's been some recovery, that's great."

But this was just Lin Rusi's self-comfort, because the person lying there showed no signs of waking up.

Normally, if she made this kind of movement, Li Jingyang would have already opened his eyes and grabbed her arm to stop her from making a fuss.

Lin Rusi looked at those tightly closed eyes and tried to pry them open with her hands, but still received no response.

"Jingyang, what should I do now? I'm afraid the magistrate doesn't want us to leave."

There are countless people waiting for her outside. If she goes out like this, can she really survive?

Upon realizing this, Lin Rusi's face darkened further, and she gripped the bottle of the cold-dispelling medicine to regain her composure.

But even though the thing was being squeezed so hard it was making a cracking sound, her mind was still in complete turmoil, and she couldn't find a single clue.

"What should I do? Is it really possible to get you out of here?"

"Should we try to escape by another route?"

But she only has a vague understanding of this place. Will she be able to escape those pursuers once she gets out?

Everything was shrouded in mystery, which made Lin Rusi even more nervous. Her fingers trembled as she threw the medicine bottle away.

Staring at that thing, she helplessly covered her face with her hands.
