Chapter 394 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 5
It was an accidental meeting, and both Ling Xi and Zhou Shengchen believed that there would not be a next time.
Ling Xi's life is still as regular as ever.
I read medical books, look after the herbs at the door, and play with Snowball every day. It is a plain but peaceful life.
So, when Ling Xi saw Hong Xiaoyu suddenly appear at her door half a month later, she was surprised.
Hong Xiaoyu and a young man were standing outside the door. They were both exhausted, as if they had rushed over at full speed.
"Sister Xiaoyu, why are you here?" Ling Xi asked puzzledly.
She glanced at the young man standing next to Hong Xiaoyu. The man looked righteous and should be a general of the Nanchen Palace.
Hong Xiaoyu didn't bother to exchange pleasantries, and hurriedly explained his purpose: "Sister Ling Xi, I came here to ask you to go to the military camp with us. My master was injured. The arrow was poisoned. The poison is strong and rare. I gave my master the detoxification pill you sent, which temporarily suppressed the poison, but the doctors in the army can't detoxify. My master is in danger, so I have no choice but to ask you to go with us."
Zhou Shengchen was injured?
Ling Xi was shocked. Who would hurt Zhou Shengchen?
She opened the door and let the two in, but she walked into the house and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, wait for me for a while, I'll clean up."
Seeing that Ling Xi agreed, Hong Xiaoyu was ecstatic.
"Thank you, Sister Ling Xi. Don't worry, we will definitely protect you well."
Ling Xi opened the drawer of the medicine cabinet, picked and chose, and found a lot of relatively precious medicinal materials and prepared medicines, and also took a whole set of gold needles, silver needles and other tools.
Thinking that she would have to stay in the military camp for a few days, she went back into the house and simply packed two sets of clothes, folded them all, and put them in the package.
Finally, what worried her was Snowball. She would be away for several days, and if she left Snowball alone at home, he would probably starve to death.
After thinking about it, Ling Xi stuffed the snowball into his bag.
Fortunately, Snowball was a small puppy and no one would find him if he was stuffed into a bag.
Originally, she wanted to stuff the snowball into the space.
But in this world without a trace of spiritual power, some of her abilities are restricted by the laws of nature. She can only take out something from the space occasionally, but cannot put living creatures into the space.
After all, the laws of nature may allow her to change some things, but will not allow something that transcends the rules to occur.
This is the customary rule of the universe in every world.
Cannot disrupt the stability of the world.
After packing his bag, Ling Xi carried it on his back and walked out of the room.
She looked at Hong Xiaoyu and the man beside her and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, let's go."
After closing the door and locking it, Ling Xi looked at the place where he had lived for twelve years and felt a feeling in his heart.
She probably won't come back.
On the way to the village gate, Ling Xi learned that the man who came with Hong Xiaoyu was named Zhou Tianxing, and he was Zhou Shengchen's second apprentice.
When they walked out of the village, Ling Xi discovered that Hong Xiaoyu came not only with Zhou Tianxing, but also with dozens of soldiers from the Nanchen King's army.
This situation made Ling Xi wonder if she would be forcibly abducted if she did not agree to go.
Ling Xi was still riding the same horse as Hong Xiaoyu, with dozens of soldiers following behind them.
The Nanchen King's army was stationed in Liuxia County, which was the westernmost county in Xizhou, about two hours' journey from where Ling Xi lived.
Two hours later, when approaching Liuxia County, Ling Xi saw the Nanchen King's army stationed outside the city of Liuxia County.
When the soldiers patrolling outside saw Hong Xiaoyu and Zhou Tianxing coming back, they immediately shouted, "General Hong and General Zhou are back."
When the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp heard the noise, they immediately let Hong Xiaoyu and his group's horses into the camp.
Ling Xi sat behind Hong Xiaoyu. After entering the camp, she secretly looked around the camp. This was where the Nanchen King's army was stationed.
It was solemn and orderly, with rows of soldiers patrolling everywhere. The soldiers in black armor looked murderous from afar.
This is a real army, the kind that has fought on countless battlefields.
Hong Xiaoyu's horse did not stop until it reached the main tent.
Hong Xiaoyu jumped off the horse first, and then helped Ling Xi off the horse.
After two hours of non-stop running, Ling Xi was tired from sitting on the horse.
But the situation was urgent and she couldn't complain about being tired.
"Ling Xi, come quickly, the master is in the tent."
As soon as Ling Xi got off the horse, Hong Xiaoyu anxiously pulled her into the main tent in the middle.
It was chilly outside, but as soon as you entered the tent, you were greeted by warmth.
Then, Ling Xi was stared at by everyone in the tent.
Ling Xi was carrying a bag and looked up. The tent was full of people.
Then, she saw that their eyes, which were originally full of hope, dimmed when they saw her figure.
Ling Xi ignored these people's doubts about her. She also knew that she was too young to make them believe in her abilities. This was expected.
She looked towards Hong Xiaoyu and asked, "Sister Xiaoyu, where is the prince? Can I go and take a look?"
Hong Xiaoyu looked at a refined and easy-going middle-aged man and couldn't help but hesitate:
"Military Advisor, this."
The man had a white beard and a wise look, and looked like an elegant scholar, not someone who would appear in the army.
When Ling Xi heard Hong Xiaoyu call him military advisor, he realized that this man had a high status in the army and in the Nanchen Palace, and it was even possible that Zhou Shengchen sometimes had to listen to him.
Xie Chong looked at Ling Xi intently, and he felt somewhat certain in his heart.
Thinking of the medicines that he had used on the soldiers before, he felt a little more confident.
In the end, his worry about Zhou Shengchen's injury overwhelmed his rationality, and he said calmly: "Xiao Yu, quickly take this Miss Ling Xi to see His Highness."
Hong Xiaoyu: "Yes, military advisor."
Ling Xi bowed slightly to Xie Chong, then followed Hong Xiaoyu to another tent.
Xie Chong, Feng Qiao and several generals in the camp followed.
Ling Xi walked into the tent on the left side of the main tent.
There was an unpleasant smell in the tent, and even stronger was the overwhelming smell of medicine.
Ling Xi saw Zhou Shengchen lying silently on the bed, his face pale and seemed filled with death and gloom.
She could hardly believe that the graceful little Prince Nanchen half a month ago had become like this now.
There were several doctors in the tent. When Ling Xi followed Hong Xiaoyu in, they all realized that this was the doctor they were looking for.
One of the doctors stepped forward and bowed to Ling Xi: "Miss, I guess you are the doctor who made those medicines. Thanks to your detoxification pills, the poison in the prince's body was suppressed in time, so please help me."
Ling Xi dodged the man's salute and said, "Thank you for the military doctor's trust. Ling Xi will do his best."
The other military doctors bowed to Ling Xi again, "Thank you, young lady."
