Chapter 38

In a blink of an eye, wolves, tigers, leopards and even rabbits ran out of the dark sycamore forest.

They rushed towards Lu Yu in a swarm, tearing at his clothes continuously.

The unremarkable rabbit bit his little finger firmly, no matter how hard he shook it, he couldn't shake it off.

Lu Yu angrily raised the sword in his hand and swung it away.

"Go away! You bastards who don't know what to do!"

But even so, more and more beasts rushed towards him.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yu was bitten by a black panther on his calf and dragged into the dark forest.

Then Jiang Xiuxiu and the others heard a scream. It seemed that Lu Yu was in danger.

Jiang Xiuxiu reached out and patted Jiying's head, and said in relief, "Jiying is thanks to having you here these two times, and when the next station arrives, I'll buy you whatever you want."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Jiying fall to the ground with a thud.

Its breath was weak, and it didn't have the prestige just now.

"Extreme Shadow!?"

Jiang Xiuxiu quickly squatted down to check the situation of Jiying.

[Master Xiaotong has to remind you that Jiying hurts the heart, this time I'm afraid it's a bad luck, even if you give it more medicine, master, I'm afraid it won't be able to recover]

"How long can Jiying last?"

【...Xiao Tong speculates that Jiying can only last for another three days at most...】

Jiang Xiuxiu hugged Jiying tightly in her arms, and her tears fell one by one on its snow-white fur.

"Jiying, you must hold on, otherwise how can I have a business with your master!"

At this moment, Mu Yunzhou who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke.

"Ms. Jiang, I have a way to possibly save Jiying's life."

Jiang Xiuxiu immediately raised her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Mu Yunzhou said, "Ms. Jiang, do you know the holy lotus of Tianshan Mountain in the sky?"

Jiang Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, isn't this the medicinal material she wanted to get this time, could it be possible that she still has the power to bring the dead back to life?

"...I have heard that it can save Jiying?"

Mu Yunzhou shook his head suddenly, just when Jiang Xiuxiu's eyes were about to show disappointment.

He said, "Our Di Rong has a legend that the holy lotus of Tianshan Mountain cannot bring people back to life, but as long as they are eaten together with fire spirit grass, they may be able to bring people back to life."

Jiang Xiuxiu immediately asked, "Where is the Fire Spirit Grass?"

Mu Yunzhou's face darkened, "I heard from the older generation that the fire spirit grass grows in the lava caves of Tianshan Mountain, but the conditions there are very harsh, I'm afraid..."

Jiang Xiuxiu's eyes lit up with hope, and she led the donkey cart.

"How will you know if you don't try it, Eldest Prince, we have to hurry up."

……

……

When Lu Yu was found, there was not a single piece of intact skin on his body, his face was gnawed and pecked beyond recognition, his flesh and blood were blurred, and his whole body was wet with blood.

One of his legs and one arm were ripped off, and he was lying on the ground, dying.

A figure walked up to Lu Yu.

"Tsk tsk, I thought you had some skills, but I didn't expect that to be the case."

Lu Yu grabbed the corner of the little emperor's clothes, his breath was weak, "Your Majesty, your lord has a lot, please help me!"

The little emperor kicked Lu Yu's hand away viciously. He squatted down and looked directly into Lu Yu's eyes.

"Get your dirty hands away from me! You have already become like this, tell me what value you have for me?"

After hearing these words, Lu Yu's face turned pale.

He knows the little emperor's temperament, although he looks harmless to humans and animals on the surface, in fact, his heart is beyond the cruelty of his age.

"Your Majesty, please give me one more chance. If I still fail, I am willing to apologize with death!"

The little emperor looked at Lu Yu playfully, he pulled out the jasper finger from Lu Yuduan's hand, and he turned it into powder instantly with a light grip.

"Okay, I'll give you one last chance to see how far you can push this game. If you can't, I'll take your skull and make it into a wine glass!"

Cold sweat broke out from Lu Yu's body, the little emperor just moved his fingers, someone nearby immediately went up to stop the bleeding, and carried him into the carriage.

……

……

Zhenxiguan, barracks.

Several of Ye Lingce's capable lieutenants have returned to the barracks, and at the same time, there are also people who went to inquire about Jiang Xiuxiu's news.

"The situation with Dr. Jiang, the general, is not very good. Someone from the court misled us and made us lose Dr. Jiang. Now we don't know his whereabouts."

Ye Lingce's eyes lit up, "People from the imperial court? Their hands must have been stretched too far!"

"Yes, and it is very likely to be a member of Lu Yu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple!"

Ye Lingce pursed his lips tightly, his expression became more and more serious.

"No one knows about this plan except you and her, so how did Lu Yu know?"

The soldier immediately knelt down, "This subordinate is loyal to the general, and will never walk without the slightest rumor!"

Ye Ling said, "Get up, this general doesn't suspect you."

Then he fell into deep thought, this matter is so hidden, who on earth leaked the news.

Ye Lingce walked out of the tent and looked in Di Rong's direction, not knowing how Jiang Xiuxiu was doing now.

He suddenly turned around and asked, "Walk along Doctor Jiang's path, how long will it take to reach Di Rong?"

The soldier hesitated, "I'm afraid it will take ten days and a half months at the earliest, because Doctor Jiang's journey this time will pass through snow-capped mountains, and the situation there is very dangerous."

After Ye Lingce heard this, his brows did not open for a long time.

He knew that even young men might not be able to get out of that snow-capped mountain.

Damn it!Why did he promise Jiang Xiuxiu to let her escort Mu Yunzhou back to Di Rong?

Ye Lingce thought for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Deputy General Lin rushing over after being injured.

"Great General! After Di Rong's third prince found out that we tricked him, he is now in a panic and is already preparing troops to attack Zhenxi Pass!"

After Ye Lingce heard this, he immediately put the matter behind him, picked up the black cloak, put it on, and went out.

"What!? Quickly call all the lieutenants, this general has something important to say!"

In the middle of the night, a soldier sneaked out of the barracks and ran all the way to the Meng Mansion.

After looking around to make sure there was no one there, he knocked on the door of the Meng Mansion.

"Miss Meng...Miss Meng?"

With a "squeak", the door was opened from the inside, and the person who appeared at the door was Meng An'an.

She looked around and immediately pulled the soldier into the gate.

"Come in, don't let anyone see you!"

After entering the Meng Mansion, Meng Anan couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? Is there any news from the barracks?"

The soldier approached Meng Anan, sniffing the faint fragrance of her body, his pockmarked face was full of intoxication.

"Miss Meng is uneasy, let me kiss you first, and I will tell you everything I have heard!"

Looking at the big cake face and the yellow teeth, Meng An'an's face flashed with disgust.

Seeing that the man was about to kiss her, she quickly covered his foul mouth with her hands.

Meng Anan said with a half smile, "You tell me first, and then I will fulfill the promise I made to you last time."

The soldier's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he narrowed his eyes lewdly, looking up and down at Meng Anan's curvy figure.

When he thought for a while, he could do whatever he wanted on this graceful body, and he couldn't help drooling.

The soldier couldn't help but wiped the corners of his mouth, "As you expected, Miss, Jiang Xiuxiu did meet Lu Shaoqing on the way. Although she didn't know her life or death, I'm afraid it was more or less ominous, so..."

He suddenly stretched out his hand, protruding obscenely towards Meng Anan's plump place, swallowing continuously.

"So now, Ms. Meng, you can let me try something new!"

Although Ye Lingce has very strict regulations in the military camp, if he leaked the news this time, he might lose his life.

but,

Which hero can pass the beauty test, let alone a beautiful woman like Meng An'an.

As soon as the soldier's fingers touched Meng An'an, goose bumps appeared all over her body.

Meng An'an pretended to be shy and lowered her head, "Don't be in such a hurry, it's not too good outside, let's talk about it when we go inside!"

"Okay, okay!" The soldier immediately agreed.

Meng Anan hooked the soldier's belt and led him all the way into her room.

But the moment she stepped through the door, she smiled sinisterly and took out a white cloth from her sleeve.

Meng Anan hooked his fingers at the soldier, "Come here~"

The soldier immediately greeted him with an intoxicated face, and the next moment, his mouth and nose were tightly covered by a white cloth.

"you you……"

Meng An'an used all his strength to hold down the soldier.

As long as he's dead, she won't have to worry about Ye Lingce finding out about it in the future.

The soldier kept kicking his legs, and accidentally kicked the vase beside Meng Anan's bed to the ground, making a loud noise.

The maid sleeping in the room opposite Meng Anan was woken up by the noise, she put on her clothes and planned to go out to see what happened.

But as soon as she opened the door, she caught a glimpse of this scene in Meng An'an's house.

The soldier finally stopped struggling, rolled his eyes and lost his life.

Meng Anan was already sweating profusely from exhaustion at this time, she took off the white cloth, and sneered ruthlessly, "You are so ugly, and you still want to touch Miss Ben, what a toad wants to eat swan meat! My future is Madam General, are you worthy too?"

Although this was her first time killing someone, there was no fear on her face at all.

The maid in the opposite room widened her eyes in horror, and she tightly covered her mouth.

Her young lady actually killed someone! ?
Meng Anan originally planned to drag the soldier's body out and throw it into the well.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she suddenly noticed something unusual, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the maid's room.

Meng Anan put down the corpse in her hands, picked up a sharp stone on the ground, and walked towards the maid's room step by step.

"Tweety? Tweety, I know you're here, come out, I won't hurt you!"

Cui'er covered her mouth and kept backing away, but kicked the table behind her, knocking the teacup on the table to the ground.

In the quiet night, there was a crisp sound.

"Miss, Miss! Tweety won't tell! Tweety didn't see anything just now!"

Meng Anan curled her lips into a smile, it seemed that it was time for her to find a new maid.

"what--!"

In the quiet night, a scream pierced through the night, awakening many sleeping birds.

……

……

Seeing that the snow mountain was getting closer and closer, Jiang Xiuxiu finally found a village at the foot of the snow mountain.

She tentatively knocked on the door of the family, "Is anyone there?"

No one came to open the door for a long time, and Jiang Xiuxiu was shivering with cold at this moment. Before the space bracelet ran out of power, she only took out a quilt and some warm babies.

But she gave Mu Yunzhou and Jiying all the warm babies and quilts. At this time, her clothes were very thin and she was shivering from the cold.

Just when Jiang Xiuxiu was about to give up, there was a soft sound of stepping on the snow from the gate.

A gray-haired old woman opened the door, and her appearance was probably not from Di Rong.

Sure enough, she spoke fluent Central Plains dialect.

"Little girl, why are you here so late?"

Seeing Jiang Xiuxiu's thin clothes, the old woman immediately pulled her into the house.

"Come in and enjoy the fire, today is the coldest day, don't stand outside and freeze."

Jiang Xiuxiu entered the house, and after taking a sip of the ginger tea made by the old lady, she gradually recovered.

The old woman thoughtfully handed her another bowl, "Did you get it from it?"

Jiang Xiuxiu glanced at Mu Yunzhou behind her, and finally nodded.

"Yes, we got it from it, and we plan to cross the snow mountain and go to Dirong to do business."

She blurted out the words without blinking an eye.

The old woman added some charcoal to the stove, "Then you came at a bad time. It has been snowing heavily on the mountain for the past few days, and you may not be able to get through if the mountain is blocked by heavy snow."

Jiang Xiuxiu suddenly squeezed the hot ginger soup bowl nervously.

"How long will it take for the snow mountain to pass?"

"If it is less, it may take five or six days, but depending on the weather conditions, it may take more than a month."

Jiang Xiuxiu's complexion suddenly became ugly, and Jiying could only persist for the last two days.

If it was true what the old woman said, wouldn't she want to watch Jiying die in front of her?

"What if I have to go up the mountain?"

The old woman immediately shook her head, "No way, if you go up the mountain at this time, you may encounter not only an avalanche, but also a snow bear!"

"Snow bear?" Jiang Xiuxiu froze for a moment, could it be a polar bear.

The old woman nodded and said, "Snow bears only appear when it snows on the snow-capped mountains. Its whole body is snow-white, its body is several times larger than ordinary brown bears, and it is extremely fierce! Girl, you should wait a little longer!"

Jiang Xiuxiu pursed her lips and did not speak. She had already decided to go up the mountain, so she would not change her mind.

The wind and snow became heavier at night, Jiang Xiuxiu asked the old woman to borrow some thick clothes, and went up the mountain against the wind and snow.

Before leaving, she did not forget to tell Mu Yunzhou, "I will take care of the eldest prince Jiying. If I don't come down from the snow mountain, you can help me bring a letter to the general Ye Lingce." Can you?"

Mu Yunzhou agreed, and he also wanted to go up the snow mountain with Jiang Xiuxiu, but his current situation might only hinder her.
