Chapter 360 Huo Changming's High Fever Continues
"Cough cough..."
"What's the noise about?"
Jiang An opened his eyes and his head was buzzing with their noise.
At this moment, she was leaning on Qi Shanyuan's shoulder, wearing a robe. Judging from the style, it should be the one worn by Young Master Qi. Under her buttocks was a robe that belonged to someone else.
At this moment, the little girl was like a rag doll, being carefully protected by this group of rough men.
"An'an..."
"Miss…"
More than a dozen heads came over, completely blocking her field of vision.
Every pair of eyes showed a worried look...
She smiled with her pale lips, her smile as bright as usual, and pushed the heads away with her bandaged hands, still joking with a smile,
"You look so nervous..."
"I'm just a little tired, I'm not seriously injured, I'll be fine after a short sleep~"
As if to prove what he said, Jiang An borrowed Yuan Yuan's help to stand up and stretched his stiff arms and legs.
Qi Shanyuan touched her forehead and said, "You don't have a fever anymore..."
His words finally put the others at ease.
No more fever.
The little girl stood there obediently, her round eyes rolling around as she looked around.
"Where are we?"
"Where's my brother?"
Qi Shanyuan replied: "Brother Meng said that this is the outskirts of the ancient battlefield. There is a canyon ahead. It is not safe to travel forward at night, so let's rest here for a night."
"Changming he..."
He took the torch from someone and led the little girl to where the personal soldiers gathered.
"Changming's injury is a bit serious. He started to have a fever in the afternoon. He took medicine, but it didn't work..."
Jiang An followed him, feeling confused.
She stopped walking and looked up, only to feel her breathing stagnate for a moment.
Young Master Huo, who had been jumping up and down all day, was now lying there quietly, with his head resting on Li Xingsang's legs.
In just half a day, his cheeks were sunken and abnormally flushed, and his lips were cracked and bleeding due to the high fever...
The wound on the arm was wrapped with cloth, and red blood seeped out, turning into a beautiful flower.
It’s really miserable…
Jiang An had known Huo Changming since he was three years old, and had never seen him so miserable.
Her brother has always been a tough man. He has been beaten by Mrs. Huo since he was a child, but he has never cried.
But...he doesn’t cry now.
The little girl clenched her hands into fists. Her brother's injury could not be delayed any longer, and they had to find a city as soon as possible.
Doctors...herbal medicines...clean environment...
Instead of accompanying them over the mountain from here!
Jiang An looked at Meng Bu Ren, his eyes seemed to be flashing with fire, "If I remember correctly, they said that there are two ways to go in this ancient battlefield."
One is the road they came from, and the other is the road from Junzhou.
Meng Bu-ren could probably guess what the young lady meant, so he took the initiative to say, "I have never walked the road from Junzhou to the ancient battlefield before."
"Counting the distance to the ancient battlefield, it will take about three days if we ride fast."
Three days...
Jiang An was thinking about it.
She asked calmly, "What if the pursuers come to disturb us? How many days will it take?"
Don't forget, behind them are not only the concubine's team of pursuers, but also the disturbed guards of the imperial mausoleum!
How many days can her brother last in this condition?
"Miss…"
Meng Bu Ren straightened up, his brows furrowed, a look of disapproval on his face.
Miss, you want to go separately...
"We are not many in number. If we separate, you..."
He didn't finish his words, but anyone who heard him could guess what he meant.
The pursuers wanted Jiang An.
As long as Jiang An doesn't go with them, the pursuers behind him will naturally disappear!
But this was a very bad idea in the minds of Meng Bu Ren and the other royal guards!
They all stood up and tried to dissuade the little girl, even Qi Shanyuan disagreed with her idea.
"younger sister…"
A weak voice was heard, it was actually Huo Changming who was in a coma.
He forced his eyes open, his eye sockets were bloodshot due to the continued high fever.
"elder brother!"
Jiang An squatted in front of him and quietly grasped her brother's hand. Her round eyes looked aggrieved, like a little kid who went home to complain after being bullied.
"what…"
Huo Changming forced a smile and looked at her like this. "Whoever bullied our An An, I will teach him a lesson for you when I wake up!"
He said, "Be obedient and listen to Brother Meng..."
"We can't go separately. My brother's injury is just a flesh wound. He will be fine after a good night's sleep."
"fart!"
The little girl's eyes were red and she wiped away the tears with her sleeves.
fraud…
"Yeah~"
Huo Changming pretended to be surprised, "Xingsang, you testify, this is not what I taught my sister!"
Young Master Li, who was his support, responded solemnly, "Yes, I will testify."
Huo Changming said a few words and fell into a deep sleep again.
The little girl used the back of her hand to feel the temperature of his forehead, and it was frighteningly hot.
"General Meng..."
She stood up, her face grim.
Meng Bu Ren, who was named, straightened his back subconsciously.
From the moment she left Chongzhou until just before, the little girl had been calling him 'Brother Meng'.
"The general is here!"
He bowed and saluted with his fists clasped.
Meng Bu Ren knew that the little girl was determined this time...
At this moment, she was not speaking as a young lady from a royal palace, but as the commander-in-chief of an army of 20,000!
"How many personal soldiers are left?"
Meng Buhan looked back and said, "Miss, there are 83 personal soldiers left, 15 of them are injured, and 3 are dead."
"My dead brother, I have buried him nearby..."
There is still a long way to go. Instead of taking them around, it is better to let the brothers rest here and pick them up after returning to the north!
Jiang An took out a whistle from the cloth bag around his waist and held it in his hand.
"I order you to bring 70 of my personal soldiers to escort Huo Changming, Li Xingsang, and Qi Shanyuan back to Junzhou. We will set off at dawn!"
"Miss!"
Meng Bu Ren raised his head suddenly.
There were only eighty-three personal soldiers left, and he took away seventy of them. What would happen to the young lady? !
Jiang An interrupted him in a very strong tone, "I will order the eagle to lead the way, and then the dark group and dark guards in Junzhou will come to support us."
"You can enter Junzhou safely, and Cang Ying will naturally bring people back to find my location."
This sentence was also telling Meng Buren that the sooner you bring Huo Changming back to Junzhou, the sooner Jiang An's troops will arrive to support her.
Meng Bu Ren thought of many words to reject the little girl, but when he met those eyes that contained a defiant and awe-inspiring aura, all the words in his mind disappeared.
The young lady has never been just a pampered young lady in the palace...
“…Yes, I will obey your command!”
The little girl's shoulders relaxed and she felt tired in her heart.
She turned around and suddenly stopped as she was about to leave.
Just behind Jiang An, Qi Shanyuan stood silently, embracing the little girl in front of him with his gentle eyes.
"Yuanyuan..." Jiang An murmured softly.
Young Master Qi walked closer and did not blame her for giving such an arbitrary order as might be expected. Instead, he gently stroked the girl's head with his warm palm.
"You have to take care of yourself when I'm not around..."
"Don't rush forward all the time. Those people don't dare to hurt you."
"If...if you are unable to resist, don't hold on, just let them go..."
His voice was low, yet indescribably gentle, which gave the little girl enough confidence.
"An An, you have to believe that even if you go to Kyoto, the prince, the national defense army, and everyone behind you will still give you the confidence to act recklessly."
It seems that in Qi Shanyuan's words, Kyoto is not Kyoto, but a paradise where Jiang An comes and goes.
He believed that sooner or later the prince's complacency would be broken by Jiang An!
