Chapter 453 Chu Wenzhong returns to Beijing safely
"Little General Chu!"
Bai Xiao and An San walked for a while, and sure enough they saw Chu Wenzhong, and the ten secret guards that Jun Lingyun had sent to meet him were also here.
The hearts of Bai Xiao and the two men felt more at ease in an instant. They quickly turned over and dismounted.
When Chu Wenzhong and others saw Bai Xiao and An San, they felt like they were seeing their relatives.
Chu Wenzhong is full of emotions:
"Brother Bai Xiao, dear ones!"
He opened his arms and came forward. Bai Xiao was about to receive a bear hug when he saw Chu Wenzhong pass him by and instead hugged his horse!
Chu Wenzhong was extremely excited.
"We finally saw horses again."
Bai Xiao held his forehead, and Chu Wenzhong was excited, not because he saw him, but because he saw his horse?
However, he was relieved to see that Chu Wenzhong was still active and in good condition. However,
"Little General Chu, why are your lips swollen? Could it be that you were stung by a poisonous bee?"
"It's a small matter, it's a small matter. With my sister's medicine, all poisons must be kept aside."
Chu Wenzhong was still communicating with the horse, but because his lips were swollen, his speech was somewhat slurred.
"It's just a pity that our horses were attacked by those poisonous creatures, and none of them survived."
Chu Wenzhong felt so distressed. He only cared about being close to the horse, but with his red and swollen lips, it was really funny.
Bai Xiao and An San couldn't hold it back, they both covered their mouths and suppressed laughter.
"Brother Bai Xiao! Brother Ansan, it's because we are not doing things well, so we have to work hard for you to come and take care of us."
The first batch of secret guards who came had their heads lowered, their faces really dull.
These people who came to help him became brothers in trouble with Chu Wenzhong.
"We were also tricked. That's why only the two of us came, while the others were waiting outside the forest."
Bai Xiao's words made these secret guards feel much better.
"The wounded, those who are feeling unwell will come out first."
With Bai Xiao's words, two people were pushed out. One's neck was swollen like a fat carrot, and the other's feet were swollen like steamed buns.
A swollen neck may affect breathing, which is indeed dangerous. My feet are swollen and I cannot walk.
Bai Xiao looked at the others and saw that there were three or four people with swollen hands and faces. They must have taken medicine and were not seriously injured.
Fortunately, there were not many seriously injured people, so Bai Xiao felt relieved.
"General Chu, why don't you and An San take a wounded person out each, and then find horses to pick us up?"
Chu Wenzhong touched the horse again before coming to Bai Xiao's side.
"Brother Bai Xiao, I'll stay, you take the wounded out first."
He felt very sorry for letting so many people risk their lives for him. How could he let Bai Xiao stay in a dangerous place on his behalf?
"Little General Chu, I am here to pick you up on the emperor's order. You don't want me to go back and get slapped with a military stick, do you?"
Bai Xiao's words silenced Chu Wenzhong. Chu Wenzhong stepped forward and patted Bai Xiao's shoulder hard.
"Good brother, I, Chu Wenzhong, have written down this favor. If you can find me useful in the future, just ask. I will come back as soon as I go."
After he finished speaking, he got on Bai Xiao's horse neatly, and An San also said:
"Brother Bai Xiao, we will definitely come back as soon as possible."
An San did not give in. If the man in black robe made a sneak attack, only General Chu and Bai Xiao could handle it. It would be the most appropriate way for them to lead the team separately.
"If you are injured, don't come back. Let someone else take care of you."
Bai Xiao glanced at An San's chest and didn't know how badly it was injured. The man in black robe's kung fu was not in vain.
An San nodded, and together with Chu Wenzhong, they took the wounded and galloped away.
They had to get out as soon as possible so that they could come back to meet their brothers as soon as possible.
In the capital city.
Not only was Chu Yunxi in the palace unable to swallow the eclipse, everyone in the Chu Mansion was also worried.
It’s just that no one dares to really think about the worst, for fear that it will come true.
General Chu endured and endured.
"No, madam, I will go and ask the emperor for instructions to go and meet Zhong'er."
But Mrs. Chu grabbed her.
"Sir, you know that Xi'er came back with a message a few days ago. The emperor has sent his personal bodyguard to personally pick up our loyal son.
If you mobilize the troops, wouldn't it shake the morale of the army? As long as the Baixiao guards are here, nothing will happen to our loyal son."
How could Mrs. Chu not worry about Chu Wenzhong's safety? But as a family member of a general for so many years, she understood the seriousness of shaking military morale.
News in the army can affect the whole body. If it reaches the ears of the enemy, it will be even worse.
The emperor's personal bodyguards are always capable.
"Madam, I'm traveling in casual clothes for my husband, so I won't disturb the crowd."
General Chu patted Mrs. Chu's hand. He naturally knew that she was also worried about him. But now that the eldest son's condition has been unknown for so many days, how could he sit still?
After General Chu entered the palace, he avoided Chu Yunxi and met Jun Lingyun alone.
Jun Lingyun also frowned slightly. If he agreed, how would he explain to Xi'er if there was a trap waiting for General Chu?
If he doesn't agree, if something happens to Chu Wenzhong, there's no guarantee that his father-in-law won't blame him.
Jun Lingyun was rarely in such a dilemma.
"Uncle-in-law, Bai Xiao has been here for four days. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be news in the next two days. Please wait."
Jun Lingyun touched the jasper in his hand and thought, what happened that stopped Chu Wenzhong from returning?
General Chu was very anxious, but the emperor did not allow him to leave the capital, so he could not act on his own.
Just as he was about to leave in despair, a young eunuch trotted in to report.
"Your Majesty, General Chu is back and will enter Beijing soon!"
"My son is back? Is he safe?"
General Chu couldn't care less about Jun Lingyun's presence and asked anxiously.
"Go back to General Chu, the young general is fine."
The little eunuch looked happy. The emperor was making orders every day and was keeping an eye on the news at the city gate.
A sense of surprise that he had survived a disaster welled up in General Chu's heart, and he hurriedly bowed to Jun Lingyun.
"My lord, thank you for your great kindness!"
"My father-in-law, go and have a look."
Jun Lingyun also breathed a sigh of relief, sent General Chu away, and hurriedly went to comfort Chu Yunxi. If Chu Wenzhong didn't come back, Xi'er would starve and lose weight.
When General Chu left the palace, he quickly mounted his horse and headed straight for the city gate.
Sure enough, I saw Chu Wenzhong with full beard and tail.
"Zhong'er!"
"Father? Why are you here?"
Chu Wenzhong did not expect that General Chu would come to the city gate. He quickly stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists. General Chu hugged him and slapped him several times.
"You're an unfilial son. It's your first time to lead an army. Are you too happy to miss Shu? You don't know how to ensure that your family is safe!"
"Ahem, father, father, there are many people watching."
While Chu Wenzhong was speaking, the secret guards had already disappeared.
General Chu then remembered to thank Bai Xiao.
"Guard Bai, you have really worked hard on this trip. Why don't you come and sit down at our general's residence so that we can talk and express our gratitude."
Bai Xiao smiled slightly and returned the gift.
"Master Chu, you don't have to be polite. I have to go back to the palace and report back to the emperor, so I won't bother you any more."
Chu Wenzhong said cheerfully:
"Father, I will treat Brother Bai Xiao to a drink another day."
General Chu nodded.
"Okay, okay. Guard Bai please."
The father and son separated from Bai Xiao and returned to the general's mansion. General Chu told his son:
"You have worried your mother a lot this time. You can tell your father all the things that happened on the road. In front of your mother, you must speak with some restraint and don't scare your mother."
"Yes, father, son knows."
Chu Wenzhong responded honestly. Fortunately, his lips were swollen and nothing could be seen.
