Poison Princess Of Cold Prince - C231
After the Eastern Barbarian soldiers retreated, the news of the people being content quickly spread throughout the land like a kick in the leg.
Before the army had even returned to the Yucai City, news had already spread back here.
Although the withdrawal of troops was a great humiliation to the imperial government, it was a relief to the commoners.
Anyone with a suitable age within their family was called to be a soldier, charging into battle for the Eastern Barbarian. As parents, who wouldn’t care about their own children on the battlefield? Who wouldn’t hope for the war to come to an end, and for their children to return safely?
As a result, when Chu Yixuan was in Yucai City, he found out that the Eastern Barbarian soldiers were retreating.
Lu Ming was surprised and happy at the same time. “Your highness was right, they really retreated!”
Chu Yixuan coughed twice, his pale face flushed red. When he finally managed to stabilize his breath, he retracted his sleeves and said indifferently: “Helian Cheng is a politician, not a gambler. He will keep it when he sees the situation.”
Lu Ming looked nervously at Chu Yixuan: “Your Highness doesn’t look too good on your journey, are we rushing too fast?”
The Uncle Lin softly corrected him, “You should call me master here. Other people heard it, not good. ”
“Yes, yes.” Lu Ming immediately nodded.
Uncle Lin said: “Keep guard at the door, I will give Master two needles, to recuperate his Qi.”
“Alright!” Lu Ming immediately retreated back from the door and waited patiently. During this period of time, the number of times Master needed Uncle Lin to insert needles into him had increased.
An hour later, Uncle Lin slowly walked out and gently closed the door.
Lu Ming immediately pulled Uncle Lin and asked softly: “How is it, Uncle Lin? How’s Master? ”
Uncle Lin didn’t say anything, he only said: “We will stay for the night at Yucai City. Take care of Master, I will go out and find some herbs.”
“Is master …”
“Don’t make wild guesses.” Uncle Lin waved his hand.
Lu Ming was immediately silenced. The Uncle Lin did not let him guess, but he did not deny his guess. This made Lu Ming feel hurt. In the past few days that he had stayed at Snail Mountain, the prince had not looked too good. In addition, he had entered the Eastern Barbarian camp twice on that night, which had consumed a lot of his true energy. When he saw her, he was worried about her, so he forced himself to focus. He didn’t let her see any flaws during their short time together, but he had been by her side all this time, so how could he not understand her true situation?
Lu Ming could not help but be worried, with such a physique, would he be able to reach the capital of the Eastern Barbarian in time?
— —
Uninjured City, the capital of the Eastern Barbarian.
In a quiet and refined ancient city. With bluestone masonry, a round roof, and a high, tight, ancient, and austere city wall. Therefore, most of the buildings in the Eastern Barbarian were like yurts, with circular arches being the most common. Therefore, the entire city of Uninjured City was like a huge yurt, and within it were all sorts of big and small yurts.
Looking at the Uninjured City from a distance, Lu Ming asked in puzzlement: “Why is Uninjured City called Uninjured City? As the capital of the Eastern Barbarian, shouldn’t it be named a little louder? ”
Uncle Lin smiled, “You don’t know about it. The Eastern Barbarian’s terrain was flat, and it had been invaded by wind and sand over the years. Crops were difficult to grow, so it was not easy for humans to survive. Furthermore, land dragons occurred occasionally, and humans and animals were prone to getting injured. Thus, surviving safely was the greatest wish of the people in Eastern Barbarian. Uninjured City, this contains the best hopes. ”
“What is a tornado?” Lu Ming was startled.
Chu Yixuan explained lightly: “Tornado.”
“So that’s how it is!” Lu Ming suddenly realized, “Could it be that they want to attack my Dongluo, so they can change it to a better living environment?!”
Uncle Lin said: “Compared to that, Dongluo is the most fertile land in the entire Yangqiu Continent. The climate is pleasing to the eyes, and its beauty is abundant. It is naturally the most desirable place for the people of the Eastern Barbarian to live.”
“Then, wouldn’t Dongluo be the equivalent of a piece of meat? is Eastern Barbarian the head of a hungry wolf? ”
“In the Central Qiu Continent, there is more than just Eastern Barbarian.”
Lu Ming’s heart immediately tightened. Just as he was about to ask which other hungry wolves were staring at this fat piece of Dongluo, Uncle Lin waved his hand and said, “Alright, now we are merchants, don’t talk about national affairs.”
Lu Ming lowered his head to look at his Eastern Barbarian and nodded: “Yes, butler.”
Right now, Chu Yixuan was still their master and their housekeeper, but Lu Ming and a few of his subordinates had become coachmen and porters. In any case, they could not reveal their martial arts.
“Remember, we are here to do the horse business from the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain to the Eastern Barbarian. Because of the sudden outbreak of war, we stayed in the Yucai City for a few days before rushing over. No matter what happens, I’ll talk to them myself. You guys should keep your mouths shut as little as possible. ”
“Yes, housekeeper!”
At the city gate, the people waiting to enter the city led their horses and lined up, waiting for the city guards to let them through. The city guards carefully inspected every single one of them, their vigilant and sharp eyes sweeping back and forth on everyone. Lu Ming calmly rode his horse. He wasn’t afraid that the Uncle Lin would use a trick on him, and didn’t know how he could come up with a method to clear Eastern Barbarian. On the way, Lu Ming truly felt that the Uncle Lin was extremely powerful, not only were his martial arts skills high, he also had skills in various aspects. No wonder Princess Zhuo Hua had taken a fancy to him and wanted him to take him as her master. He even wanted to take the Uncle Lin as his master!
It was still very easy to enter the city. With the clearance documents in hand, even the seal placed upon them when they entered the Yucai City, indicated the time before the outbreak of the war. After the city guards searched through the carriage but didn’t find anything suspicious, they cautiously scanned Uncle Lin and Lu Ming’s faces a few more times. Then, they lifted the carriage’s curtain to size Chu Yixuan up for a long time.
After successfully entering the Uninjured City, he looked at the large and small round arched structures inside. Lu Ming was extremely shocked, the entire city was formed of tents, this was truly rare!
Uncle Lin said softly: “Look good, don’t look around.”
“Yes, housekeeper.”
There was no inn in Uninjured City, only a inn.
After finding a place to stay and eating some food, Uncle Lin and a few guards went out to look at the horses. Lu Ming, on the other hand, chose to stay behind to protect Chu Yixuan’s safety.
Lu Ming knew that the reason the Uncle Lin brought people to watch the horses was to deceive people. If there were people watching them, it would be easy to let the people watching them feel at ease.
Therefore, they couldn’t make any movements right now, couldn’t inquire about Helian Jing, and couldn’t send any messages to the Kang City.
Chu Yixuan travelled a long distance, his complexion looked bad. After staying in the inn, he left. Lu Ming guarded Chu Yixuan and could not help but be secretly anxious. Under such a state, how would they investigate Helian Jing’s whereabouts? How could he help Helian Jing? How could he save Helian Jing?
Princess Zhuo Hua must be anxiously waiting for their reply!
— —
Princess Zhuo Hua was indeed anxiously waiting for news from Lu Ming and the others. Did they safely arrive at the Uninjured City? Did they find out anything about Helian Jing? Do they have the confidence to save Helian Jing, and safely withdraw their Eastern Barbarian?
Thinking of this, Princess Zhuo Hua simply could not eat or sleep comfortably.
If only she had known earlier, she would have followed Helian Jing back! After entrusting the Nian’er to Third Brother, she followed Helian Jing and went back to the Eastern Barbarian. No matter what, the two of them should have something to take care of!
Princess Zhuo Hua had even prepared for the worst. At worst, both of them would die together!
“Has the princess eaten?”
Outside, Qi Yu’s calm voice sounded.
Under Chu Yixuan’s request, he was asked to take care of Princess Zhuo Hua. Therefore, Qi Yu would come over to see Princess Zhuo Hua and Nian’er everyday.
Princess Zhuo Hua quickly adjusted her emotions and pretended to be calm as she lowered her head to coax the Nian’er.
Qi Yu and Bi Su slowly walked in. Bi Su bowed: “Princess.”
Princess Zhuo Hua nodded and stood up, “Third sister.”
Qi Yu looked at Nian’er: “Is the little guy still awake?”
Princess Zhuo Hua nodded again, “Yes.”
“His spirit is really good!” Qi Yu sat beside the cradle and caressed Nian’er’s small face. After teasing Nian’er for a while, she laughed, “If you look carefully, he really does look like his father.”
Princess Zhuo Hua blushed, “Yes.”
How good would it be if she and Chu Yixuan also had a little baby like this! Qi Yu thought, didn’t she also have that kind of relationship with Chu Yixuan before? She didn’t take any measures, but why wasn’t she pregnant?
Uh, well, this woman really doesn’t know shame when she thinks like this. Qi Yu coughed dryly, then waved her hand at Bi Su, “Bi Su, take Nian’er out to bask in the sun.”
Bi Su understood and carried Nian’er in her arms. “Alright, let’s go and bask in the sun, okay, little prince?”
Jin’er quickly followed Bi Su: “Big Sister Bi Su, the Nian’er’s skin is tender and tender, we can’t go and bask in the the sunlight!”
Qi Yu said, “It’s good for a child to get more sunlight, so they should replenish vitamin D or else they will lose calcium.”
“Wh …” “What?” Jin’er was stunned. She couldn’t understand what the wangfei meant. What vitamin D? And what … Is it calcium?
Princess Zhuo Hua waved her hand at Jin’er. “If you want your wife to be under the sun, you can just follow me.”
“Yes, Princess.” Jin’er lowered her head, following beside Bi Su, and did not stop him.
Everyone went out. Only Qi Yu and Princess Zhuo Hua were left in the room. Princess Zhuo Hua looked at Qi Yu: “Third sister, what do you want to say? You can say it all you want. ”
“Uh, how smart.” Qi Yu pinched her nose, “About that, I want to ask you, are you worried about Helian Jing?”
“Of course … “Worried.” Princess Zhuo Hua still chose to speak the truth. After all, she didn’t seem to be worried about Helian Jing.
Qi Yu nodded his head: “I think so too, then do you want to go to Eastern Barbarian?”
Princess Zhuo Hua was shocked, “Third sister, what do you mean? You’re letting me go to the Eastern Barbarian? ”
Qi Yu coughed dryly, her expression was unsettled, “About that, I am not tired of you either, right?”
“Yes, none …”
“I… He also went to the Eastern Barbarian once! However, I only went to the Yucai City and not the Uninjured City, what a pity. ” Qi Yu glanced at Princess Zhuo Hua and observed her reaction, “Do you think that if we were to team up, we would be able to make it to the Uninjured City alive?”
Princess Zhuo Hua was stunned!
I can’t believe my ears!
Third Brother had entrusted her to Third Sister-in-Law. He had hoped that Third Sister-in-Law would watch over and protect her, but didn’t expect that Third Sister-in-Law would actually urge her to go to Uninjured City!
Oh god, was it really not her hearing that was wrong?
Third Brother is such a calm and collected person, he shouldn’t have married such an unreliable wangfei, right?
