Chapter 549 What Have You Done to Me?"Blue skies above—a cloud drifts by—below it a horse runs, the whip cracks loudly all around, birds soar in unison—"

"Brother Lin, do you mean to say we should first take down these 2,500 men?" Gao Qiu exclaimed, visibly delighted.

Lin Wanrong nodded, his expression stern. Hu Bugui furrowed his brows, "Defeating them may not be that easy. Our victory over Dalanzha last night was due to the Turks being completely unaware, and the encumbrance of women and children made it easy for us to wipe them out. But these over 2,000 Turks are mobile. To silently encircle them would be highly difficult. Should we make the slightest error and they become aware of our presence, they can easily flee. On the vast plains, if the Turks decide to escape, no one can stop them. That's why the chieftains of these two tribes confidently sent them to reinforce Dalanzha."

Hu Bugui's caution was not unfounded, but Lin Wanrong chuckled, "Brother Hu, you are correct. If the Turkic people want to flee, then nobody could stop them. But what if the Turkic people were without horses? Do you think they could still run?"

"Without horses, they'd be like a tiger that’s lost its fangs—naturally, they couldn’t escape. But how could the Turkic people be without horses?" Hu Bugui queried, puzzled.

Lin Wanrong flashed a mysterious smile. "Brother Hu, as you've said, the great Turkic horses can cover a thousand miles in a day. However, their food and water supplies must be assured—"

"Exactly so," Old Hu quickly nodded in agreement.

Lin Wanrong chuckled darkly, patting Gao Qiu on the shoulder. "Very well, very well! It's time for our invincible and courageous Gao Qiu to take action!"

After giving out all the necessary instructions, Lin Wanrong finally had time to visit Li Wuling. Yujia was tied to the carriage shaft, acting as a temporary coachman. Her resentment was palpable. When she saw him, she snorted coldly and turned her head away.

"It's time for healing; Divine Healer, please follow me," Lin Wanrong said, smiling as he untied her ropes and stepped into the carriage first. Li Wuling's complexion had visibly improved; his breathing was becoming more even, and his chest wound had started to scab over. Indeed, the medicine provided by Yueya'er had remarkable effects.

When Yujia entered the carriage, Lin Wanrong noticed two purple bruises on her delicate, white hands. "Ah, you're injured? Divine Healer, let me apply some medicine for you."

"There's no need for your concern," Yujia replied, her face cold, as she began examining Li Wuling's injuries. Concerned for Li Wuling's life, Lin Wanrong intently watched Yueya'er's expressions, gauging her reactions.

After checking Li Wuling's pulse, lifting his eyelids, and carefully inspecting his wounds, Yujia shook her head and coldly said, "He's fine."

‘Is that it? Just two words?’ Anxious, Lin Wanrong was about to ask more when Yujia interrupted, "You don't need to ask further. All I can tell you is that his condition is gradually improving. As for when he will wake up, I don't know."

She was a captive, yet also a healer. Frustrated, Lin Wanrong had no choice but to accept this. Fortunately, even if Li Wuling hadn't yet regained consciousness, his improving condition was evident to all. Lin Wanrong firmly believed that one day, Li Wuling would be bouncing around, healthy and alive, in front of everyone.

As he was about to step out of the carriage with Yujia, Yueya'er, who was sitting on the carriage shaft, suddenly spoke, "Bandit, I have a question for you."

"Could you please not give me random nicknames?" Lin Wanrong turned around, visibly irritated. "Isn't it fine to call me by my Turkic name?"

Yujia fixed her eyes on him and gritted her teeth. "Last night, I was clearly sleeping on the grass. How is it that when I woke up this morning, I was lying in your—your—"

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't finish her sentence. Her eyes were aflame with anger. "What exactly did you do to me?"
