When Prince Jing regained consciousness, he only heard the squeaking sound of the wheels coming from beneath him. Perhaps because of the uneven road surface, the carriage suddenly jolted, and Prince Jing realized that his body seemed to be moving in one direction.
Get away. He wanted to stop, but found that he couldn't move at all.
"Hey..." A soft sigh came, with a bit of worry, and Prince Jing's body was hugged by someone. The man put his hand through Prince Jing's armpit and pulled him back.
His head rested on a soft place.
"Coachman, the road is a bit bumpy, go slower." The voice came from him, and Prince Jing recognized it. It was Yun Shang's voice. Yun Shang was his... wife.
His consciousness gradually returned, and many things emerged from his mind. He slowly remembered what happened before he fell into coma. He remembered that he took the people of Jingyang and the soldiers to hide in the mountains. With the guidance of the local people, he hid in a place.
In the cave. After sending all the people to the opposite village, he hid in the cave with the soldiers. The Xia army set fire to the mountain. Smoke filled the cave. Fortunately, there was still some water and food in the cave, so it was okay.
He was waiting for Yun Shang to come with reinforcements. He didn't want to trust others. If he had his previous temperament, he would have forced these more than 200,000 people to go head-to-head with Xia's army. Although they were outnumbered, they were not necessarily completely defeated.
Just because that person is Yun Shang, he is willing to believe her once.
She was indeed here. Although he was a little reluctant to admit it, the joy that spread to his limbs and bones when he heard the secret guard reporting the news that she was coming with troops could not be deceived. At that time, he thought, Luo Qing
Say, you're done.
But before she could wait, Liu Yinfeng arrived. Xia Houyan and Liu Yinfeng came to Jingyang for the purpose of him, but he never thought that Liu Yinfeng would directly bring more than 100,000 soldiers to rob and kill him.
There were more than 100,000 people, and Liu Yinfeng thought highly of him. At that time, he had already divided the original defenders of Jingyang into three groups, and only about 50,000 people were left with him.
He quickly made a judgment. If he rushed down at this time, it would not be without hope. It was just that the number of Ning's army was smaller than that of Xia's army. Liu Yinfeng brought more than 100,000 people to intercept him. This was an opportunity. If
If he takes these more than 100,000 people away, his chances of winning will be much greater.
And he has local soldiers who are familiar with the terrain to help him. Even if Liu Yinfeng comes with people, he may not be able to catch up with him.
But he still missed the calculation after all. There were local soldiers who were familiar with the terrain around him, but Liu Yinfeng might not have none around him. The most important thing was that he seemed to have spies from the Xia Kingdom around him.
He tried several times, and whenever he was about to be overtaken by the Xia army, he left some soldiers to resist, and then he led the people to move forward. However, the spy never seemed to fall behind, and he was overtaken several times in a row.
.
When there were more than 500 people around him, he already had a lot of injuries, but he didn't expect to be trapped by Liu Yinfeng. He thought that he knew who the spy was, and it must be the one who was watching along the way.
The secret guard who reported Xia Jun's movements to him, and the secret guard lied about Xia Jun's location, so he didn't even notice that Xia Jun was approaching. However, it seemed that he found out a little too late.
"Princess, we are going to Qingyan Town soon. There is only one town near here that is a little more decent. I asked the secret guard to book a room in the inn in the town. Are we going to rest in the town today?" The voice was lively and clear, as if
It's the little maid next to Chang'er, her name seems to be Qianyin.
Luo Qingyan heard Yun Shang's voice ringing in her ears, "Okay, you go and make arrangements. After Qingyan Town, you have to go some distance to get to the town. Although the time is fine today, it's just that it's been hard to travel these past few days, and the prince is not in good health."
No, let’s take a rest early today.”
Not long after, Prince Jing noticed that the carriage seemed to have stopped, a cold wind blew in, and it seemed that the carriage door was opened, "Princess, please come down and carry the prince in."
He held Prince Jing's hand a little tighter and said, "No, I'll just come."
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Jing was hugged up. Prince Jing secretly vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. He, a grown man, was actually being held by his wife. It was really...
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard an attentive voice coming over, "Master, the room has been prepared. The sheets, quilts and mosquito nets in the room have been replaced with new ones. Can the meals ordered by the master be delivered to the room?"
Prince Jing couldn't open his eyes and was in a daze. Master, is it possible that there is a man accompanying you?
But before the suspicion in his mind came to an end, he heard Yun Shang's deliberately lowered voice above his head, "Send it to the room." He seemed to pause and then ordered, "Is there a doctor in town? If so.
If you have one, please invite a doctor to come over."
"Yes, yes." Prince Jing heard the voice that seemed to be the shopkeeper's voice rang hurriedly. Yun Shang said lightly "Yes" and then carried Prince Jing upstairs.
After entering the room, Yun Shang put Prince Jing on the bed, took off his cloak, lifted the quilt, and covered him.
The door was pushed open with a creak. Yun Chang turned around and saw Qianyin walking in. There was still snow on her clothes and she was holding a basin of steaming water in her hand. "The snow is really heavy today."
, I’m afraid the snow will get heavier the further north I go. It’s been this year and there’s still no clear sky, and I don’t know when I can return to the imperial city.”
Yun Shang smiled, walked over and cleaned her hands, and then said softly, "It doesn't matter. If it snows and the road is difficult to travel, just wait until the snow stops before leaving. Although my father has sent several secret edicts asking us to return to the imperial city,
But now that the prince is injured and still awake, and the snow is falling so heavily, we have to go back a little late, and my father should not blame us."
Prince Jing, who was on the bed, had a sudden thought in his heart. He had guessed it when he heard Qingyan Town before, and he was afraid that they were heading towards the imperial city. Now when he heard Yun Shang said that Emperor Ning had sent several secret edicts to them to return to the imperial city, he felt in his heart
I still feel a little uneasy, I'm afraid I can't suppress his identity.
Yun Shang pulled down the handkerchief that was placed on the wooden shelf, soaked it in hot water for a while, then picked it up and wrung it out. She walked to the bed and wiped Prince Jing's face, hands and feet before throwing the handkerchief away.
Returning to the basin, he said, "We only have to walk to the next town for two days. We may have to sleep outdoors tomorrow. You go and prepare some things. Buy two more quilts and buy some more food."
Qianyin responded and retreated.
After a while, the knock on the door rang again. Yun Shang shouted "Come in" and the door was pushed open. It was the innkeeper with a middle-aged man standing outside the door, "Sir, this is
The doctor in our town..."
Yun Shang nodded, "We are businessmen, but when we passed through Jingyang a few days ago, we encountered a battle between two armies. My uncle was unlucky. He encountered the Xia army and suffered some injuries. He is still unconscious now. Doctor.
Come and see how my uncle's injury is?"
Prince Jing felt a little annoyed after hearing this. His uncle...but he couldn't refute that before they got married, he was indeed just his uncle's.
The middle-aged man responded, took the medicine box and walked to the bedside, sat down, took Prince Jing's pulse, and then lifted the quilt to check the injuries on his body.
When the shopkeeper heard Yun Shang mentioning that they met Xia Jun in Jingyang, he quickly asked, "I heard that Jingyang City was burned down and is now completely destroyed. Is this true?"
Yun Shang nodded slightly, "It's true."
"It's such a pity that a good city was destroyed like this, but I heard that the people in the city were fine. It was said that Prince Jing and the princess saved the people in the city together." He paused and said with some embarrassment, "I'm talking too much.
, Young Master, please don’t mind. By the way, Young Master, I heard that in the battle of Jingyang City, it was Princess Jing who led the troops to rescue Prince Jing, and defeated the greater number with less. She beat the Xia army to pieces, and had to lead them in despair.
Is it true that the defeated general withdrew his troops to the Xia Kingdom?"
Qianyin went to pour water and had come back. She happened to hear the shopkeeper ask this question, so she smiled and said, "Of course there is. That day we were among the people of Jingyang. Prince Jing was injured, and the princess was so angry that she broke the
Xia's military advisor used the formation and led his troops to defeat Xia's army..." He was about to continue, but was stopped by Yun Shang's look.
When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes widened, "Prince Jing is the God of War. I didn't expect that even Princess Jing could be so powerful. Now, Xia Guo is afraid that he will be beaten to the ground." Fu said with satisfaction,
"Yesterday, the crippled old man in the town said he didn't believe a woman could have such great abilities. Today, I'm going to stop his mouth, haha..."
The doctor had already examined Prince Jing, stood up and said to Yun Shang, "This young master is seriously injured. There are several major injuries all over his body. It's a miracle that he didn't die. But he can recover from his injuries."
It's very good, it's not inflamed, and the wound is healing well. In winter, the wound heals more slowly. I'm going to prescribe two medicines. Let me boil it and drink it. It's good for wound healing."
Yun Shang nodded and turned to tell Qianyin, "Follow the doctor to get the medicine."
Qianyin responded and followed the doctor out. Yun Shang heard the doctor ordering outside the door, "Take three and a half bowls of water and simmer it twice..."
Yun Shang walked to the door and closed it, then walked to the bed again. The doctor had just finished checking the wounds and had not yet put on Prince Jing's clothes, revealing his body underneath, which was covered with scars. Yun Shang's eyes felt hot, and he quickly
He put on his clothes and took out a book from his luggage to read.
I don’t know how long it took, but Qianyin walked in again, "Princess, everyone is talking about the princess's deeds. Now, the princess has become famous in one battle." After saying that, she put the medicine bag in her hand on the table aside.
"However, the princess also shocked the slave that day. Her appearance was not much different from that of someone who had gone crazy. By the way, when the slave saw that Liu Yinfeng's jaw was about to drop, her eyes were full of dismay.
Believe it or not, he was really happy. He definitely didn’t expect that Mr. Xiao was actually the princess..."
"Okay, it's all over now, why are you bringing this up?" Yun Shang said calmly, frowning lightly. They all said that she became famous in one battle, but no one knew how much regret she felt in her heart. She hated that she was late.
After all, Prince Jing was still injured so seriously.
"The princess won't let the slaves talk, but the slaves won't say anything. It's just that the prince has not woken up. What should I do after entering the imperial city? I'm afraid it will be difficult for the emperor to explain. I heard that the emperor has lost his temper and wants to send secret guards.
He wanted to assassinate the prince, but he was finally persuaded by Concubine Jin. Concubine Jin was also very powerful. She only said, "You killed him because you wanted to make Chang'er a widow at a young age?" and she asked the emperor to take it back.
Order." Qian Yin said with a smile, but when she looked at Yun Shang, her eyes were filled with worry.
Yun Shang lightly stroked her sleeves, "What can I do? Since I saved him, I won't let anyone else hurt him again, even if that person is my father." Her voice was soft.
, but full of perseverance, King Jing's heart trembled when he heard it, and he could no longer calm down.
After King Jing woke up, he traveled every day for several days. If there was a town, he would stay in an inn. If not, he would stay in the wild. King Jing was very conscious, but his body couldn't help him, and he was most annoyed.
What's special is that Yun Shang personally carries her up and down the carriage every day, never letting others interfere.
Fortunately, my health is getting better day by day. At first I couldn't do anything, then gradually I could move my eyebrows and move my fingers. Now I can even move my hands and feet occasionally, but Prince Jing always
He avoided Yun Shang and didn't let Yun Shang see him. But his left foot still hurt badly. He remembered that someone had cut his left foot with a knife. It must have been serious, and he didn't know what happened...
After about six or seven days, they had arrived at Qianyao City. There were only four or five days left before leaving the imperial city. They stayed in an inn in Qianyao City at night. In order to take care of Prince Jing conveniently these days, Yun
Shang slept with Prince Jing every night. Maybe he slept in the carriage for a long time during the day, but Prince Jing didn't feel sleepy at all at night. There was a faint sound of the clock outside, and the third watch had passed.
, Prince Jing heard a faint sound coming from the roof, as if someone was stepping on it.
With just a gentle sound, he regained his composure. Prince Jing listened to the movements around him. After about a quarter of an hour, he suddenly heard the sound of the window being pushed open. Prince Jing frowned slightly. The person coming from the other side didn't seem to be interested.
Young Master, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Where are the secret guards beside Yun Shang?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that the person next to him stretched out his hand under the quilt and hugged his body. Prince Jing was relieved. He thought that Yun Shang had been awakened, but he had forgotten that Yun Shang's
Martial arts are not weak.
He only heard the sound of a gust of wind, and the people around him quickly hugged him, turned him over, and stood up with him in his arms, "I wonder who he is, and why is he visiting late at night?"
"Who are you? You can actually do martial arts? Didn't it mean that Prince Jing was unconscious and only the princess was beside him?" came a voice with a bit of coldness.
Knowing that he is Prince Jing and knowing their whereabouts, I am afraid that this is not an ordinary robbery. I am afraid that he is a killer invited by someone, but he has many opponents, so he does not know who did it.
However, the other party didn't seem to be prepared to give Yun Shang a chance to answer. He turned around and stabbed him again with his sword. Yun Shang took Prince Jing in his arms and took a few steps back. Several men in black appeared in front of him.
"Keep one alive." Yun Shang said calmly, but did not forget to pull the big cloak to the side and put it on Prince Jing.
There was a sound of fighting, but the cold voice from before suddenly laughed, "The legendary secret guard is really powerful, but he may not be our opponent in Qingyi Pavilion."
Tsing Yi Pavilion, a rumored to be very powerful killer organization, never returns empty-handed once it takes action.
"I don't know who wants to buy our lives, and I don't ask who the master of your money is. It's just that I am willing to pay ten times the price to buy Qingyi Pavilion to kill the person who placed the order." Yun Shang's voice was filled with emotion.
The clouds are calm and the wind is gentle, and it seems that he is only facing ordinary people.
"If you can finish placing the order and paying the money alive, we will take over this business." After saying that, the other party pounced on him.
The secret guard came forward and looked through the faint light outside the window. Yun Shang frowned slightly. That man was not completely lying. The secret guard was really at a disadvantage.
After a while, the door was pushed open, and Qianyin, who lived next door, also heard the noise and walked in from outside, disheveled, "Princess, I will protect you and the prince and leave first."
Yun Shang nodded, hugged Prince Jing and was about to walk out, but heard the sound of breaking through the air behind her, "Where to go?"
"Princess, be careful..." Qianyin's voice came.
Yun Chang dodged away, and Qian Yin was about to come forward to save her, but was attacked by two killers, and was trapped in the room. Yun Chang leaned on the railing of the door, looking at the mask that was attacking her with a sword.
The man hugged King Jing and ran away again. The man's martial arts should be considered powerful, and his moves were vicious and focused on key points. If Yun Shang was alone, he should be able to fight him and he would not lose.
, but at this moment, he still had to take care of the unconscious Luo Qingyan beside him, so it was a bit difficult to avoid him, and since he had no weapons in his hands, he was at a disadvantage.
A sharp sword wind struck, and Yun Shang took two steps back, trying to avoid it, but she didn't expect that there was a staircase behind her. Without noticing, Yun Shang stepped on the empty space, tilted her body, and fell downstairs.
But he still held onto Prince Jing tightly and refused to let go.
"Princess, be careful!" Qianyin had already noticed the situation here. Seeing Yunshang falling down the stairs, she was shocked and wanted to rush over to save her, but the killer blocked her way. Qianyin blocked it with her hand.
The sword turned away the offensive, but it was still one step slower.
At this moment, the person in Yun Shang's arms suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hands and hugged Yun Sang's waist, did a backflip, and stood on the ground downstairs. It was just because he had just woken up and his body felt a little uncomfortable.
His control, coupled with the injuries on his body, were somewhat insufficient. When he fell to the ground, he staggered back several steps before barely regaining his footing.
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at the person next to her, but fell into a pair of dark eyes. In the dark night, she could not clearly see the expressions of the people around her.
"Shang'er..." The man spoke, his voice a little hoarse, but it made Yun Shang's eyes red inexplicably. (To be continued)
