Chapter 54: The Mountains Are Not Alone

Two long knives were pointed at Jin Shiba, and two spears were pointed at Jin Shiba's horse. The neat queues at the front, back, left and right now looked like a copper wall.

Not only Jin Shiba, the other four Jin Yiwei were also trapped in the queue.

"Is this what you call the deep love between brothers?" Jin Shiba said coldly.

Lei Zhonglian smiled.

"You have killed the enemy and been injured. How can we abandon you? Of course you have to go to the capital to receive the reward together." He said.

Although they spoke and moved, their horses did not stop and remained solemn as the queue marched. From the outside, there was nothing strange about them.

"Where did she go?" Jin Shiba asked unwillingly.

Lei Zhonglian shook his head at him.

"Miss Jun is always unpredictable," he said.

…………………………………………….

When Duke Cheng Guo led his officers and soldiers to set off in great excitement, Miss Jun was already galloping on the mountain road, one person and one horse.

She was not walking on an official road, nor was she walking straight down south. She seemed aimless and looking for something.

Traveling during the day, sleeping in the open at night, climbing over mountains and ridges, descending into hills and exploring ravines, sometimes traveling hundreds of miles in one day, and sometimes staying in the same place for three days.

For example, she has been living under this mountain for three days now.

The impact of this war on the mountainous area was far less than that of the towns outside, and the villages at the foot of the mountain seemed very leisurely.

"Girl, are you going up the mountain again?" asked the old woman sitting at the door of the stone house.

Miss Jun put the baggage on the horse, patted the horse's head and said yes.

"The mountain is so big and the grass and trees are green. How difficult is it to find medicinal herbs?" the old woman said with concern.

"It's not difficult." Miss Jun said with a smile. She was not impatient with the old woman, but replied seriously, "This herb grows in a specific place and is not found randomly in the mountains and plains."

The old woman nodded and told her to be careful of snakes and wild boars and wolves, and watched Miss Jun mount her horse and drive away.

After tying up the horse at the foot of the mountain, Miss Jun took a serious look around with her bag on her back, then ran straight in one direction, just like her master had led her to do a long time ago.

"Is it hard? Do you think it is so easy to learn medicine? You have to travel eight thousand miles and taste all kinds of flavors in the world."

He squatted on the rock with a solemn expression and pulled off a vine and handed it to her. On it grew a bunch of bright red fruits the size of pearls.

"Taste it."

She took it and ate it without hesitation. When she looked up again, she saw him staring at her curiously.

"Can it be eaten?" he asked, "Does it taste good?"

She didn't have time to answer because her tongue was numb and her body was sore that she fell to the ground.

"Take a look and you'll know after you taste it. Not everything can be eaten." He was still squatting on the stone and said with a solemn expression.

Thinking of this, Miss Jun stopped and looked up ahead. A clump of vines appeared in front of her, with small beige flowers blooming on it.

When autumn comes, there will be bunches of bright red fruits.

Just like what she saw in the mountains, forests and ravines that Master took her through.

At that time, she thought that the master was taking her to the deep mountains and forests to deliberately make things difficult and scare her so that she would not be able to bear the hardship and give up following him.

Now it seems that he is actually pursuing what he desires. Running is not random, but has a purpose. The herbs needed for historical diseases grow in this place.

Miss Jun broke a handful of vines, easily and skillfully weaved it into a garland, put it on her head, and went straight to higher ground.

Passing through a dense forest, the view suddenly became clearer, and the mountain wind swirled on the cliff. When a small purple flower finally appeared in the line of sight, Miss Jun couldn't help but scream.

Some rude shouts were dispersed by the mountain wind.

No one heard it anyway.

Miss Jun took a deep breath and walked towards the flowers and plants, but after walking a few steps, she stopped and stepped lightly on the ground with her feet.

There is a faint soft touch under your feet. If you are not careful, you will not notice it at all. You will only think that it is because you are stepping on grass. In fact, it is because there are loose rocks underneath.

This time she won't be careless again.

Miss Jun took a step back, and just as she unpacked her bag, she heard a voice behind her.

"Hey, there's a flower here."

These words, this voice...

Miss Jun turned around and looked.

Someone cast a shadow behind the trees, and then there was the sound of footsteps, and Zhu Zan walked out.

"Are you scared?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought I was going to be robbed again."

Miss Jun regained her composure.

"Why are you here?" she said, "Have you been following me?"

Zhu Zan raised his hand towards her.

"Don't think too much." He said, "Don't think that I followed you because I care about you and feel uneasy when I see you coming out alone."

Miss Jun seemed a little helpless when she looked at him.

"I really didn't think too much about it," she said, "Don't worry."

Zhu Zan looked obviously worried.

"The reason why you are so anxious to go out alone is to find the purple fairy plant to treat the girl's illness. I am here to pay off the debt as soon as possible." He said, "Don't think too much about it, this is just a business."

Miss Jun shook the rope in her hand.

"Zhu Zan, I can't help but think about it," she said.

Look, Zhu Zan suddenly had such an expression on his face.

"...You follow me to find the Purple Ying Immortal Strain." Miss Jun said, "Then if you find it, it's yours or mine?"

Zhu Zan was startled.

"Zhu Zan, you can't do this in business, right?" Miss Jun said, "You have already taken advantage of me once, will you do it again this time?"

"What do you mean I'm taking advantage of you?" Zhu Zan glared and shouted, "Be careful what you say."

"As you said just now, were you scared? You thought you were going to be robbed again." Miss Jun blinked and spread her hands and said, "Again, that means I was robbed last time."

This woman, this woman, Zhu Zan reached out and touched her.

"You are so arrogant." He said angrily, "You are so ungrateful. Why don't you remember who saved you?"

"Didn't you say it wasn't a life-saving grace, but just a business deal?" Miss Jun blinked and looked at him seriously, "So you really saved me."

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled, her expression was joyful and excited, and she took a step towards Zhu Zan holding hands.

"Your Majesty, if you are truly life-saving to me, I will definitely treat you with..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhu Zan sighed.

"Jun, you are considered a powerful person." He shouted, "We each find our own, and no one takes advantage of the other."

After saying that, he turned around, raised his shoulders, waved his arms, and walked away in two or three steps.

Seeing that no one seemed to have appeared in front of her, Miss Jun tilted her head and thought for a while.

"Looking angry?" she said to herself, "Isn't this bullying? I didn't say anything."

Compared to the cynicism her master used to treat her, she is simply too friendly.

She shook her head and looked at the direction Zhu Zan left.

After all, he is a spoiled child. (To be continued)
