Chapter 1722: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1722: Yuan Gui is Fine
Meng Qi nodded repeatedly, "I took him back. He's okay."
After separating from Meng Yunzheng in the morning, he immediately took the unconscious Yuan Gui to the familiar medical clinic.
Just as Meng Yunzheng had suspected, there weren't many patrolling soldiers in the city. Some of them had likely entered the secret passage to the Black Market, pretending to be bandits.
Thus, Meng Qi encountered no unexpected incidents on his way. He was familiar with every street and alley in the city, which made it easy for him to reach his destination.
The medical clinic had a good relationship with the Meng family and was also friends with Meng Xiaoshu.
Since the members of the Meng family's escort bureau often returned injured from their trips, they frequently visited this clinic for treatment.
Seeing Meng Qi bring an injured person, Doctor Mi subconsciously asked a question.
But Meng Qi didn't say much, he simply described Yuan Gui's injuries.
Doctor Mi was a sensible person; he understood that Meng Qi's silence meant there were sensitive matters involved. In the past, when the members of the escort bureau returned injured from their trips, they generally kept the details of what happened on the road confidential.
Given the tense atmosphere in the county recently and the attack on the Meng family by bandits, along with the disappearance of Meng Xiaoshu, Doctor Mi assumed the bandits were behind Yuan Gui's injuries as well.
He quietly treated Yuan Gui's wounds. However, the medicine provided by Meng Yunzheng was very effective, so Doctor? Mi only performed basic wound dressing.
By noon, Yuan Gui had regained consciousness.
He wanted to return home immediately. There were people waiting for him, and Aunt Fang would be very worried. Considering her frail health, it wouldn't be good if anything else happened to him.
However, patrolling soldiers were still outside, and Yuan Gui's injuries prevented him from returning home. With his injuries, he and Aunt Fang were staying with another family. If that family reported them to the authorities, it would only cause more trouble.
In the end, Meng Qi had to go find Aunt Fang himself.
Fortunately, he did. Aunt Fang had been worried for two days when Yuan Gui didn't return home. If she hadn't been stopped by the family they were staying with, she might have gone to the authorities to report him missing.
Originally, Meng Qi hadn't intended to mention Yuan Gui's injuries to Aunt Fang. However, she seemed difficult to deceive, so he had to privately explain the situation to her. He didn't mention the bandits, but she was still very concerned.
Later, Aunt Fang proposed that she go look after Yuan Gui. After considering the situation, Meng Qi agreed.
Aunt Fang made an excuse to the family they were staying with and then went with Meng Qi to the clinic.
Now, Aunt Fang was watching over Yuan Gui at the clinic. Meng Qi had accompanied them for a while and saw that everything was fine, so he left and returned to the Meng family's escort bureau.
Meng Yunzheng had mentioned that General Huang would be arriving in Chenggu County in the last two days. Afraid of missing him, Meng Qi had been waiting at the escort bureau all this time.
However, he hadn't seen General Huang until the evening.
Meng Qi didn't sleep soundly that night. He woke up when it was still dark, and he couldn't fall back asleep no matter what.
Later, he left the Meng residence and returned to the abandoned mansion, and unexpectedly, that's where he finally encountered Meng Yunzheng.
So, he had only been waiting here for about an hour.
Meng Qi said, "I was being cautious and afraid of encountering patrolling soldiers on the road, but there wasn't a single person. They didn't seem to be patrolling at all."
In the past, even during curfew, there were occasional patrols on the streets. Now, he didn't see a single person, which Meng Qi found somewhat amusing.
