Those Northwest troops did not really surrender to him. If the news that his father-in-law was killed by him leaked, they would definitely switch sides.

By then he will have no way out!

He reached out and grabbed Li Huai's collar and threatened: "Li Huai, you were sent by the King of Western Xinjiang to help me attack the city!"

Li Huai raised his eyebrows mockingly: "So what? My son suddenly feels unwell. Do you want me to leave him alone?"

Leng Qiao's eyes were filled with murderous intent, it was his son again!

He calmed down suddenly and said calmly: "I was impulsive. Let's wait for the right time to attack the city!"

After saying this, he left in a hurry.

At this time, Lin Ruoyou walked up to Li Huai cautiously and said guiltily: "I failed to take good care of the young master and delayed the general's important affairs. Why don't I leave now to avoid letting General Leng hold grudges again!"

Li Huai said sarcastically: "Do you think I will care about him? My son is my life, just stay with him and take good care of him to prevent him from getting sick again!"

Lin Ruoyou hesitated and said, "It's just that General Leng looked bad when he left. I'm worried that he will kill the young master!"

"He dares!" The killing intent flashed across Li Huai's face.

Lin Ruoyou was so frightened that she trembled all over. She quickly promised: "I will definitely take good care of the young master and make him strong as soon as possible!"

After she returned to the camp, Li Huai ordered the lieutenant beside him: "Send more people to protect them. If there is any slight mistake, you are the only one to ask!"

The deputy general nodded and quickly increased his manpower.

As night fell, Lin Ruoyou walked towards the river.

She came back about half an hour later.

Seeing the washed clothes in her hand, Li Huai didn't ask any more questions.

Lin Ruoyou went in to help Madam Butterfly drink medicine. She had recovered well.

She said gratefully: "Shuangmu, it's really hard for you!"

Lin Ruoyou lowered her eyes and smiled softly: "If I can see my wife and child getting better, what does it matter if I suffer some grievances?"

After she finished speaking, she took a sip of the decoction as usual.

Madam Butterfly said subconsciously: "Don't taste it from now on, I believe you won't hurt me!"

Lin Ruoyou shook her head: "Madam, this is the rule. I will never let you and the child have any accidents!"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly opened her mouth and spit out blood.

Seeing her pale face, Madam Butterfly was frightened and cried.

She shouted anxiously: "Come quickly, go and ask for the general!"

Not long after, Li Huai arrived in a hurry.

He looked at Lin Ruoyou who was vomiting blood in shock and asked: "Why is this happening? Why is he suddenly vomiting blood!"

Madam Butterfly explained: "She took a sip of the soup she boiled for me!"

Li Huai's expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed Lin Ruoyou's delicate chin with a sinister look on his face.

Madam Die quickly stopped her: "Brother Huai, don't accuse her unjustly. If she really wanted to harm me, why did she test the medicine for me? She didn't know anything about it in the first place!"

Lin Ruoyou was choked and had difficulty breathing. She tried her best to argue with a trembling voice: "I was wronged!"

After a moment, Li Huai let go and threw her to the ground.

Lin Ruoyou lay on the ground and kept coughing, and there was blood gushing out from the corners of her lips.

Madam Die quickly invited a military doctor and asked him to diagnose Lin Ruoyou's pulse.

After a moment, he said with a solemn expression: "She was indeed poisoned. This poison is extremely difficult to cure and requires an extremely special herb called Purple Spirit Flower!"

Li Huai urged: "Then you should quickly check Die'er's pulse again!"

The military doctor nodded and quickly walked to Madam Butterfly.

After waiting for a moment, he slowly spoke: "Fortunately, Madam was not poisoned, otherwise, with her weak body, she might not be able to bear it at all!"

Madam Die suddenly covered her face and cried: "Brother Huai, Shuangmu saved our mother and son again. If she hadn't tried the medicine on her own body, I would have drank it, and then I would have fed our children without knowing it!"

Li Huai froze, he was really lucky.

Who wants the lives of Die'er and her son?

Suddenly, he remembered Leng Qiao who left angrily.

But he also understands that the two are allies, and if they fall out, they will never be able to take over Snow City again.

Just when his thoughts were troubled, Madam Butterfly tugged at the corner of his clothes and begged: "Brother Huai, please find a way to save Shuangmu. My child and I can't live without her!"

Li Huai didn't understand this truth. He lowered his eyes and saw Lin Ruoyou who was very weak. He gritted his teeth and said, "Come here, go look for the whereabouts of the Purple Spirit Grass. Bring more people with you. We must find it!"

"Yes!" The deputy general quickly took the order and left.

When Li Huai returned to the camp, he felt more and more unable to swallow the bad breath.

Without any further hesitation, he rode towards the northwest military camp with his long sword in hand.

Leng Qiao was very surprised when he saw him.

He thought Li Huai had come to discuss when to attack Xuecheng, so he quickly ordered people to prepare food and wine.

He stepped forward to greet him, reached out and patted Li Huai on the shoulder and said, "Brother Li, I'm waiting for you. Have you chosen a day to send out troops again?"

Li Huai glanced at him calmly: "What's the hurry?"

Leng Qiao was stunned. How could he not be anxious?

He didn't believe that the King of Western Xinjiang would not be in a hurry. After all, Xuecheng was rich in products.

He is also waiting to get a piece of the pie!

He thought Li Huai was still angry, so he reached out and picked up the wine glass in front of him and said: "Brother Li, a man, how can you hold grudges over trivial things? I acted impulsively before and annoyed you, now I'll toast you to apologize!"

Li Huai looked down at the wine glass in front of him, sneered, then reached out and smashed it to the ground.

"Li Huai, don't be so shameless!" Leng Qiao cursed in a hissing voice.

Li Huai quickly pointed his sword between his eyebrows and said, "You are allowed to poison my wife and children, but you are not allowed to smash your wine glass? Who knows whether your wine glass is filled with poison or something else?"

Leng Qiao calmed down quickly. He had not poisoned his wife and children at all. Was there any misunderstanding?

Although he really wanted the mother and son to die!

But not now!

He explained anxiously: "Brother Li, be more sensible. I'm not stupid. How could I anger you at this critical moment? You must not be provoked!"

Li Huai gritted his teeth and glared at him: "No one provokes me, general. I'm warning you, if you dare to take action again, I can kill you directly!"

Leng Qiao's cheek was cut by the sharp sword, but he didn't dare to move.

He was extremely uneasy at the moment, really afraid that Li Huai would leave as soon as possible.

He begged anxiously: "Brother Li, I don't. Although I am a little dissatisfied, I understand how important your child is to you. How could I do anything to him? You have to believe me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Huai's deputy general walked in quickly and said: "General, I found this bottle of poison under Leng Qiao's pillow!"

Leng Qiao's face turned pale with fright. If Li Huai hadn't carried him, he would have almost collapsed on the ground.

Li Huai ignored him and took the poison from the deputy general's hand.

He quickly ordered someone to call in the military doctor. After careful identification, he said without hesitation: "It's the poison that Shuangmu was poisoned with!"

Li Huai looked at Leng Qiao mockingly: "Do you continue to deny it?"
