Early the next morning, Liu Yun felt weak and a little groggy. She raised her hand and touched her forehead, frowning, damn, she actually had a fever at this time.
"Miss, are you up?" Wan Qing's voice came from outside the door. It was not yet bright, but everyone was already checking the goods downstairs.
"Well, come in." Naturally, everything was kept simple outside. Liu Yun asked Wan Qing to go to the street to buy some dry food, while she packed her bags in the room.
"Didn't Miss sleep well? She doesn't look well." Wan Qing looked at Liu Yun's slightly pale face, and worries arose in her heart. In the past few months, Miss fell into the water twice, and her health has never recovered. Now she is again
Traveling in such a hurry, she was really worried that her body would not be able to bear it.
Liuyun nodded: "It's nothing serious. Have you bought all the things I asked you to buy? Let's go down."
Seeing that Liu Yun was gloomy, Wan Qing didn't know what to say. Their young lady had a bad mood when getting out of bed, and it was always a bit unpleasant to get up early when she didn't have enough sleep. She didn't think much about it, picked up the bundle Liu Yun had packed and followed her down.
Upstairs.
Everyone in the caravan was ready. Su Yan was making final inspections. When he looked up, he saw Liu Yun walking down from the second floor. He was wearing a light blue robe and had an indifferent expression, but he looked slimmer.
"Master Yun, we will set off soon." Su Yan stepped forward and nodded slightly, Liu Yun also smiled faintly, but the smile was as thin as the white clouds on the horizon, which could be blown away by the wind.
"Hall Master Su, don't worry, just follow your usual routine." Liu Yun's voice was clear and calm, but she didn't deliberately lower it. Anyway, her usual voice was not particularly charming.
Su Yan nodded, his eyes swept over her pale face, and his heart sank. She looked like she was uncomfortable, but she didn't speak, so he couldn't care too much, and she seemed to have ulterior motives.
Similar.
"We have been taking the official road these past few days, and the weather has been calm. I am considering detouring from the official road to a valley in the afternoon, which can save about half a day's journey." Su Yan originally didn't need to tell him.
She said this, but after thinking about it, he still wanted to ask her opinion. Before setting off, the owner of the village specially warned him not to let Mr. Yun suffer any harm.
Liuyun smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Hall Master Su, there is someone protecting me. If anything happens, Hall Master Su will just pretend that I don't exist."
Su Yan was born in the Jianghu, so naturally he is not a cold-blooded person, but in many cases he knows how to weigh the priorities better than the knights in the Jianghu. Taking shortcuts is risky. They will pass through a no-nonsense zone and use Murong Villa's
With his prestige and the men he brought this time, he was confident that he could withstand anyone's attack, but Mr. Yun's following made him more worried.
"I also hope to get to Qingyan City as soon as possible." Finally, Liu Yun added, "Don't worry, Hall Master Su."
Since she said this, Su Yan naturally had no worries anymore and gave the order to set off towards the valley.
Sitting in the carriage, Liu Yun felt a severe headache and a dull pain in his forehead as if being pricked by needles.
"Master, are you feeling unwell?" Wan Qing noticed a thin layer of sweat on Liu Yun's forehead. She frowned, reached out and touched her eyes, "Master, you have a fever."
"Be gentle." Liu Yun glanced at her and lowered his voice and said, "Don't let others hear you, it will delay the trip."
Wan Qing almost frowned for a while. She knew very well what kind of person their mistress was. She never took her body seriously. The look on her face was that she might have had a fever when she woke up early in the morning, so her face looked so expressionless in the morning.
That's why it's so ugly.
"Qianlan asked my slave to bring some medicine for injuries. I originally thought that if I caught a cold or had a fever, I could find a doctor, so I didn't ask my slave to bring any medicine." Wan Qing really regretted it at this moment. She had known that Liu Yun would get sick.
All kinds of medicines should be prepared, so that they can be used as emergencies at least. Now it’s better. We didn’t prepare anything. Just some medicine for sores and so on can’t cure the disease.
"Don't be too busy, I just caught a cold, that's all. It's so precious." Liu Yun waved his hand, his body softened, and he continued to sleep on the cushion.
Wan Qing calculated in her mind that she had already walked halfway and would enter the valley at noon. If everything went well, she could leave the valley in the afternoon and arrive at Yuanshan Mountain in the evening. Hall Master Su was tight on time and could not afford to waste time.
But the young lady is sick, so she reluctantly follows the caravan. What will happen when her condition worsens? But with the young lady’s stubborn temperament, she will definitely not be willing to let her fall behind and go back to the inn where she stayed yesterday.
For a moment, Wan Qing's heart was full of emotions and she didn't know what to do.
"It will be more comfortable for the master to sleep on the slave's lap." Wan Qing sat next to Liu Yun, put the bundle on her lap, and pulled the master to rest on her lap. At least it was more comfortable than sleeping on the slave's lap.
Liuyun was also in great pain, so she naturally did not refuse. She also knew that Wanqing was anxious, so she just acted according to urgency. She did not want to delay the caravan's schedule because of herself. In fact, she had heard Su Yan and his men talking before
The situation in the border town was much worse than they expected. Two small villages had already been spread by the plague. The imperial court issued an order to surround these two villages and not allow anyone to come out. They heard that black smoke was ignited in the villages every day.
, which means that people die every day.
I heard that Su Yan's younger brother was also in the Ling Army. He seemed to be from the forward battalion and was seriously injured. Su Yan was very anxious, but he still followed the caravan and did not dare to go ahead, for fear that something would happen to the caravan on the way.
Various factors came together to make Liuyun silent and conceal her fever. She was no longer the squeamish Mu Liuyun she used to be. She understood everyone's mood.
"Master, we have entered the valley." Zi Qian's voice came from outside the carriage, with a solemn tone, which meant that they had entered an area that required caution.
There is only one road in this valley, which is surrounded by mountains on both sides and cliffs. Only the road ahead has some potholes, and most places are flat.
The caravan was not walking fast. Su Yan had always been cautious and always alert to the surrounding situation. Fortunately, there were cliffs on both sides, making it almost impossible to hide people. This was one of the reasons why he decided to take this road in the first place. Usually there are valleys.
The most vulnerable to ambush, but this valley is not easy to ambush. It can only block the head and tail. This is not a big problem for Su Yan. After all, the people he brought out this time are all well-trained practitioners.
.
Liu Yun felt very uncomfortable sitting in the carriage. Even if the carriage was made of elm wood, which is considered to be the best at absorbing shocks, there would always be unavoidable shaking when walking on uneven roads, which made Liu Yun's body already uncomfortable.
She became even more nauseated, and she gritted her teeth tightly to prevent herself from vomiting, but the churning feeling in her stomach still made her body tremble slightly.
"Master, how about we let Hall Master Su rest for a while?" Wan Qing looked at Liu Yun's pale face and was worried to death.
