Yi Chenjing and others set out on the road two hours after several groups of people set off. After Qiao Qingxu's guidance, they chose a road closer to Rongcheng. Less than ten miles away, they found traces of a fight, which looked very fierce.
Qiao Qingxu dismounted and looked around. She found a trace on a tree trunk by the road and nodded: "It's the Zhao brothers. They are safe and sound. They should continue to explore the road to Rongcheng."
"I hope it's just this group of enemies. If they take turns to fight, I don't know if the two friends can handle it." Bai Qige said with some worry.
"Look over there -" Qiao Qingxu pointed behind the tree, "the two piles of newly buried soil bags indicate that they were very leisurely and left after burying the bodies. Judging from the traces of the fight, there were not many enemies. After all, we were divided
There are five groups of people, no matter how many there are, how many can be assigned here? The Zhao brothers are exploring the way ahead, so just follow me."
Qiao Qingxu understood these matters best and had the right to speak. Bai Qige looked at Yi Chenjing silently, still a little hesitant.
Yi Chenjing is neat and over-cautious, and the last thing he wants to do is to default on a favor. Now that Qiao Qingxu has mobilized people and recruited many people from all walks of life to risk their lives to help, he will definitely have to worry about how to repay the favor. But right now, Yi Chenjing has no choice.
Chen Xuan was able to send so many killers to pursue him all the way, so he was obviously determined to completely cut off the possibility of the two of them returning to the imperial capital no matter what. Without the help of these powerful people in the world, they would not be able to set foot in the imperial capital.
Things are unpredictable. Who can predict the next storm? All we can do is take one step at a time.
The road to Rongcheng was very peaceful. Maybe the enemy found out that they had fallen into the trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and stopped pursuing it. Or maybe they were cleaned up by the Zhao brothers. Of course, it was more likely that the enemy did not expect that Yi Chenjing and the others would choose the same road.
Following them closely, in short, there was no trouble in the two days from Qiaojiazhai to Rongcheng, which was unexpectedly smooth.
Rongcheng is a quaint and beautiful small water town. At first glance, it looks quite similar to Liang Shi, the capital of Zhao State. Qiao Qingxu arranged for the two of them to stay in a dilapidated and unobtrusive small inn, guarded by Zhan Ting, while she went with her companions.
The other two people rushed to the agreed meeting point and were so busy that they didn't even bother to eat.
"Sister Qiao has been running around all day without getting any food. Zhan Ting, go and deliver some food." Thinking of Qiao Qingxu's infatuation, Bai Qige tried her best to move her head, bought a few hot cakes and stuffed them into Zhan Ting's hand.
"She has dry food with her." Zhan Ting, who lived up to his reputation as a nerd, shook his head dully, "My mission is to protect His Highness and the Princess here. If I go to find Qing Xu, I will definitely be scolded, or will I?"
Don’t go…”
Zhan Ting didn't move, and Bai Qige stopped insisting. She leaned against the door and pretended to mention casually: "Sister Qiao is not young, why haven't she found a good man to marry yet?"
"I don't know," Zhan Ting still had a dumb look on her face. "In the past, many wealthy and powerful people came to propose marriage, but she rejected them all. Maybe it was because the requirements were too high and she hasn't found the right one yet. I heard that Lingxi County
Mamoru had a hint of interest, but was scared away by Qingxu holding a knife and scolding her. She was so fierce, I was really worried that she would never find a husband."
"It's not that I can't find it, or that I don't want to look for it? Maybe the person that Sister Qiao likes is too stupid and doesn't know her thoughts at all." Bai Qige looked at Zhan Ting meaningfully, but Zhan Ting was like a piece of wood, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she tried.
Understand. Bai Qige couldn't help but sigh, should she be lucky or unlucky to fall in love with a man like Zhan Ting?
In terms of strength and loyalty, Zhan Ting is definitely the best choice, but how to make the wood with the most sense of security understand the feelings of love... It seems that Qiao Qingxu's road to happiness will not be easy.
After waiting in the inn for several hours, Qiao Qingxu never came back. Instead, Ye Huawan and others, who were following behind in a carriage, arrived first. Logically speaking, they should meet up with the others soon, since they haven't seen each other for such a long time.
The silhouette of a human figure will inevitably make a few people feel worried.
"It's better to go and take a look. If anything happens, we can help." Bai Qige urged.
Zhan Ting was worried that Qiao Qingxu would be in danger but was unwilling to leave Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige to give up their protection. In a dilemma, Fu Chu suddenly said: "Brother Zhan will continue to protect Sister Bai and Brother Chen. Ye Zi and I will go take a look -
—Those people don’t know me, so it’s much safer than you showing up.”
After thinking for a moment, Bai Qige couldn't think of a better way, so she could only nod in agreement: "That's fine, you and Ye Zi are careful on the road. If anything goes wrong, come back to us immediately. Don't act impulsively."
"I know." Fu Chu smiled quietly, and the young man's delicate face revealed a maturity and stability that was not befitting his age.
If Ye Huawan wanted to go to Bai Qige, he would definitely not agree. However, Fu Chu is different. He is calm, smart, and good at analysis. This young man who was indirectly trained by former national master Shen Junfang is more sensible than adults. You can rest assured that he will handle the matter.
.
Bai Qige did not expect that the young man she thought she did not need to worry about made a mistake and almost ruined her young life.
The sunset was setting, and the afterglow was gentle, but the sound of rapid and chaotic footsteps broke the rare peaceful time of the day. Following the loud bang of the door being kicked, four or five people covered in blood broke into the inn room under the leadership of Qiao Qingxu, among whom
Behind him was Fu Chu, who had his eyes closed and his delicate face was as pale as paper.
"What's going on?" Zhan Ting jumped up from his seat and took over the unknown Fu Chu, his hands covered with red blood.
Ye Huawan cried until she could only sob. Qiao Qingxu also looked pale. She was still frightened when she recalled: "After we met, I asked everyone to find a place to spend the night. We will continue to go our separate ways tomorrow. I didn't want someone to attack me on the way back. Originally, I was
I sold a flaw to lure the other party into a trap, but who knew that this stupid boy... This stupid boy actually thought that I was in danger, so he rushed out of nowhere and blocked the knife in vain."
Bai Qige gently opened Fu Chu's torn clothes, revealing the deep wound.
"A few of us also encountered an ambush. After we eliminated the enemy, we hurriedly turned around to find Master Qiao. Unexpectedly, we were a step too late." A dark-skinned man behind Qiao Qingxu sighed, "This little brother is so impatient.
Well, seeing as the injury is serious, we need to find a doctor quickly."
Now that the world is full of Yi Chenxuan's eyes and ears, isn't he throwing himself into a trap by rashly carrying Fu Chu who was covered in blood and running to find the doctor? This is not Lingxi County, so the local government naturally can't count on it. The enemy will be here so soon.
Finding that they met and set up an ambush meant that it was no longer safe. Qiao Qingxu couldn't make up her mind for a moment and subconsciously looked at Zhan Ting.
In the past, anything she couldn't figure out was decided by Zhan Ting. Even now that he suddenly appeared after leaving for many years, Qiao Qingxu still regarded him as a solid support.
"You can't go to the medical center." After a while, Zhan Ting shook his head with difficulty, "It's not safe here, and we must leave as soon as possible."
After so much blood was shed, delaying for a moment would be one step closer to death. You can't leave in a hurry at this time? Several people who came with them looked at each other and expressed confusion about Zhan Ting's decision. They didn't know Yi Chenjing's true identity, but they just
They were entrusted by Qiao Qingxu to escort "two important friends" to the imperial capital. Seeing that the Zhan court did not allow Fu Chu to heal his wounds and save lives, and he was still busy on the road, it was hard for the people who put their righteousness first to accept it.
Bai Qige and Qiao Qingxu understood the situation and had nothing to say, but someone else unexpectedly spoke up.
"Rescuing people is more important, we'll talk about other things later." She took Fu Chu from Zhan Ting and carried it on her back. Yi Chenjing, who always loved cleanliness, seemed not to notice that her neat clothes were stained with blood, and walked out the door without explanation.
Why? He doesn't know either.
If he had been focused on seizing power in the past, he would never have chosen to save people first. There were countless people in Rongcheng who were waiting for him to show up and chop him down with a knife. It was extremely stupid to show up in the hospital rashly, but he could not do anything to the dying person.
Fu Chu ignored him. Maybe it was because Fu Chu was Shen Junfang's successor, maybe because Bai Qige warned him to "win the world first, win the hearts of the people", but the most important thing was that he had a soft place in his heart.
Probably it was an infection that Bai Qige unknowingly transmitted to him. It shook his cold and cruel heart for many years and gave him a different view of the world.
She is not a saint, she will make mistakes, use tricks, and kill people ruthlessly, but she is always sincere to her friends without deception. Be it to Yu Che, Ye Huawan, or Qiao Qingxu, Zhan
Ting, Ning Xizui... As long as she considers her friends, she will do whatever it takes, and those people will do what she wants, willingly believe in her, follow her, and give everything they have.
So he also changed, and began to believe in something. He believed that there was something more valuable than the throne and revenge. He began to have weaknesses, but he also had more and more friends besides Zhan Ting.
To win people's hearts is not just to win the world.
I don't know whether it was because Fu Chu sacrificed his life to save others or because Yi Chenjing's subtle changes moved God. In short, God was good, and it happened that there were doctors from all over the world resting in the guest lobby of the inn. When he saw someone carrying the injured downstairs, he got up.
He stopped him and poured down half a bottle of family medicine. Fu Chu's wound soon stopped bleeding.
Once the bleeding is stopped, it will be much easier. The dressing and dressing will be changed in the evening. All that is left is to wait for Fu Chu to wake up. As a direct disciple of the Poison Doctor, he is fully capable of curing his injury as soon as possible.
Originally, Qiao Qingxu didn't have a good impression of Yi Chenjing, and she only wanted to help Zhan Ting. After experiencing the Fu Chu incident, her frank eyes looked at Yi Chenjing with less indifference and disdain, and more admiration and gratitude;
The stranger helpers who were invited also became enthusiastic. They did not say anything openly, but privately they all praised Qiao Qingxu, this mysterious friend, for his unparalleled benevolence and righteousness.
The unexpected move yielded a lot of rewards, except for Bai Qige's half-joking teasing.
"You sold a favor to Fu Chu and Sister Qiao, but brought Zhan Ting in. Look at your elm-headed guard, who has been squatting outside the door for most of the day, blaming himself."
"Why is he blaming himself? He should have hit the road immediately." Yi Chenjing said in a low voice while changing clothes, "If we didn't have that wandering doctor, we would have to run to the hospital, and we would have to fight with the enemy in the dark. It's simply...
You’re asking for trouble.”
Bai Qige held up her forehead and smiled: "But you still did it. His Highness the Seventh Prince is affectionate, righteous, benevolent and generous, and he will definitely inherit the great cause of the Emperor in the future——"
"If you continue to laugh at me, I will appoint another queen." Yi Chenjing raised her eyebrows and raised Bai Qige's chin closer to her face.
"Okay, you can choose three thousand beauties to be included in the harem after you appoint others." Bai Qige responded with a nonchalant look, and the corners of her mouth curled up, "Just let me try, how many people can be burned to death with one fire?"
