C20 Return to Camp
If he lost his life because of this poisoned arrow, what would Chen Yin do? He was only twenty years old, and he was just sitting there thinking about how to make his country stronger. It was not that no one would be able to replace him if he died, but if one more general who could win the war were to live, then the Kingdom of Yan would have a more stable guarantee. And the young and suspicious Emperor would have one more person to protect him.
When he thought here, he once again thought of Liu Wen's trouble and couldn't help but sigh.
As if she had heard the sound of his sigh, Yun Shu mumbled something before turning her head to gently smash it on Pei Hongqing's shoulder. The two gowns that she wore also fell off her shoulders as she turned her head. Pei Hongqing looked at her helplessly before lifting his hand to help her pull her coat over her shoulder. His hand rested on her shoulder, which was obviously softer than a normal man's, and he suddenly felt as if the person in his arms was a girl. His beautiful almond-shaped eyes narrowed as he said with doubt, "He could definitely escape, but why did you come back …"
The next day, Yun Shu opened her eyes after feeling the sun light on her body. She was clearly hiding from her pursuers, yet she was sleeping abnormally peacefully. She could not help but feel somewhat surprised, but before she finished, she was stunned.
She remembered that she slept against the walls of the cave and was at least a step away from Pei Hongqing who was lying down. Why did she … She would fall together with Pei Hongqing on the withered grass, and she would even rest her head on the arm of this man?!
The frightened Yun Shu immediately pushed herself up. Seeing that Pei Hongqing was still unconscious, she forced herself to calm down and left the cave. She found a tree trunk to hide in and pulled open her collar to check if there were any suspicious marks on her body. After not finding anything, she grabbed hold of her collar and leaned against the tree trunk as she let out a sigh of relief, "You must remember, you already have an engagement, and father set it up for you. You mustn't make any mistakes."
"What can't be wrong?" Pei Hongqing's voice suddenly rang out from behind her. Her entire body froze as she abruptly turned her head to see a certain injured person, who still had an unsightly expression and seemed to be in high spirits, standing behind her while munching on a wild fruit. Seeing her turn her head, he stuffed the other fruit in his hand into her mouth and asked, "What were you mumbling about?"
Yun Shu bit down on an unknown fruit, chewed it into pieces, and swallowed it before saying, "I told myself that for the sake of the shining gold, I absolutely cannot sell General Pei away."
"Whenever you want to sell me, just tell me. I'll tie myself up and wait for you to bring the buyer. Half of the gold we earn. " Pei Hongqing smiled and joked with her. He did not realize that he had spent more than half of the time he had with this little soldier, which was why the current general did not have the slightest bit of dignity in front of this little soldier.
Yun Zhui chuckled. "Why can't you give me all of the gold? "As far as I know, General, you must be rich enough."
Pei Hongqing finished the fruit and threw the core aside, "How many people in this world think that you have too much money? Whether or not you want to draw the red mark on your face, it's much lighter. " He pointed to her right cheek.
It was only after this reminder that Yun Shu remembered there was something important she hadn't done yet, so she threw away the half-eaten wild fruit and, with her back to him, reached for her lip-box and smeared it on her face. When he turned around and saw her face, Pei Hongqing frowned. A moment later, he couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed, "Your smearing is too horrible." As he said that, he raised his hand to rub away the excess Dan fat on her face.
Yun Shu only felt her face that had been touched by the other party begin to heat up inexplicably, and she did not even dare to breathe anymore. This is much better. " As soon as Pei Hongqing finished his words, she took a step back in shock as if she had seen something terrifying. Pei Hongqing looked away from her face and glanced at his hand that was covered in the pill fat with a puzzled expression.
After being frightened by Pei Hongqing's actions to the point of being at a loss, Yun Shu suddenly thought of another important matter and hurriedly asked, "Great General, could your fruit be poisonous?"
"No, I ate it a long time ago. But isn't your reaction too slow? If it really was poisonous, you would have finished eating already. " General Pei dusted off his hand and threw it to her. Then, he turned around and walked back into the cave to grab Yun Shu's bag.
The two men had lost their weapons when they were being hunted down last night, so Pei Hongqing had broken the arrow that had previously pierced his body and kept it in his sleeve. After leaving the cave and walking in the southeast direction for about two hours, they suddenly heard a lot of footsteps heading up the mountain. Pei Hongqing quickly pulled her and hid behind a big rock that was hidden by some tall grass.
A short while later, a group of men dressed in the armor of a soldier with a large beam appeared not far from where they were hiding.
"Hurry up and find it!" Don't find someone who's about to die but can't find them either. " The high-ranking officer berated the soldiers that were walking behind him. When he turned his head, his gaze stopped at the direction they were hiding in for a moment, and Yun Shu immediately didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
It was not until the search party had all left that they finally stood up from behind the rocks. They did not expect that just as they were about to leave, a soldier came up from the bottom of the mountain. He saw them at first glance and was about to shout when a broken arrow pierced his throat and he fell to the ground.
Yun Shu turned her head to look at Pei Hongqing. Seeing that he had only moved the hand that had just thrown the arrow, she continued to walk forward expressionlessly, so she quickly followed. Pei Hongqing suddenly turned around and told her to walk in front. It was almost noon when they finally heard the sound of flowing water. Pei Hongqing's face finally lit up. "This should be one of the tributaries from the river to the beam. As long as we follow this river, we should be able to return to the river."
After walking against the river for who knows how long, they heard the sound of several horse hooves in front of them. This time, Yun Shu quickly reacted, she didn't even need Pei Hongqing to pull her, she already knew that she had found a hidden place to hide, she didn't expect that the two horses at the front of the group were sitting on Exhibit Meng Guangwei. She ran out of the grass and waved at them.
Meng Guangwei was the first one to recognize Yun Shu. He quickly ran to Yun Shu's side and stopped his horse. He jumped down from his horse and asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, but the general's condition isn't so good. He's been hit by an arrow …" As she spoke, she looked towards the place where Pei Hongqing had been hiding. Strangely, the people hiding there had yet to show any signs of coming out, so she led her men over there. When she got closer, she found out that Pei Hongqing was lying on the ground.
"Quick, chase the carriage over!" As he said this, Zhan Xin and Xu Jingda brought Pei Hongqing into the carriage and called for the military doctor.
Yun Shu was stunned on the side, at a loss. Pei Hongqing hadn't suffered any other injuries. It was probably because of the arrow tip that had caused the wound to split open. She didn't dare to imagine what kind of pain he was enduring. He had been bringing her along like nothing had happened for so long. No wonder he suddenly made her walk in front …
Meng Guang lightly patted her shoulder. Xu Jingda brought a horse and placed it in her hands. He then came out of the carriage to show her the letter and looked at her, "Can you still ride? If you don't have the strength to ride a horse, you can ride with the general in the carriage. "
"I'll ride." After saying that, she used all her strength to climb onto the back of the horse.
After the military doctor treated Pei Hongqing's injuries, he left. Yun Shu, who was standing outside the tent, didn't know if she should follow him and ask about Pei Hongqing's injuries. In the end, she could only watch as the military doctor left her sight.
Meng Guangwei, who was guarding outside with her, lightly patted her shoulder, "Are you alright? You really don't need to look for a military doctor? "
"Should I look for a military doctor? "Yeah, I should go see a military doctor." Meng Guangwei's words suddenly struck Yun Shu as she hurriedly turned around to head back to the military doctor's tent.
Meng Guang rubbed his chin with a slight headache, "Brother Yun, what's going on? As soon as you come back, your soul will be in your body …"
Xu Jingda, who was standing behind him, stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Meng Guangwei. They both stared at the figure that had just left, "It can't be that after a night of interaction, you found out that you've fallen for the general, right?"
Hearing these words, Yun Shu nearly stumbled and fell, she turned her head and sternly said: "Have you ever encountered a situation where there are people who want to kill you and you're the only one fighting alone? "I was scared witless. Brother Meng, Brother Xu, can you stop thinking about random things? That way, it would seem that the elite soldiers of the Uighur Army are very idle."
Meng Guangwei and Xu Jingda looked at each other and waved at her, indicating for her to quickly go and find a military doctor.
However, as soon as he turned around, the two exchanged a glance, and began to worry.
Yun Shu who had just walked out of the military clinic's tent suddenly felt a cold wind blow past her back. She rubbed her arm, pulled open the curtain and walked in. She immediately found the military doctor who had helped Pei Hongqing previously, "Doctor Yin, is the general's injuries serious?"
The military doctor stroked the goatee on his chin, "This old man has already helped the general expel the remaining poison from his body, and has also cured the inflammation in his wounds. He only needs to rest and take medicine on time, and he should be able to get off the ground in half a month."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Yun Shu calmed down a little. However, after returning to the main general's tent, the letter that opened the curtain and walked towards her had a solemn expression. Yun Shu thought that Pei Hongqing's condition had worsened and hurriedly asked him. Zhan Xin replied flatly with "No." and told her that she could return to her old tent to live with Meng Guangwei and the others. She didn't need to stay here any longer.
Since the letter had clearly indicated for her to leave, she couldn't just stay here and not leave.
