Chapter Forty-Three: The Plague Rages (Today's Two Watches)
Twenty miles away from the Great Zhou military camp, in a small town in Xuanwu Pass, in a quiet courtyard, Su Juan stood in a slight, dressed in plain clothes and green silk fluttering, the breeze was slightly cool, and the dappled sunlight shone on the body from the shadows of the trees in the courtyard, which made people feel a little warm in their hearts.
Su Juan was unwilling to leave, so she stayed in the town.
It's been a few days since I came here, and according to my brother's inquiry, on the second day of his departure, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty clashed with the barbarian army again, and Qi Han secretly set up an ambush, and the barbarians lost their troops and lost their generals, and it is estimated that it will stop for a few days.
This is undoubtedly good news, my brother Su Jin went out to find out the news, and Rong An took the guards of the Langwang Mansion to protect near the small courtyard.
Xiao Zhao picked some wild flowers in the garden of the small courtyard, "Miss, look at how beautiful these flowers are. β
Su Juan turned around, she has always been a person who likes flowers, and when she saw the gorgeous wildflowers in Xiao Zhao's hands, although they were not as bewitching as peony and peony "medicine", they had another charm.
The smooth fingers gently picked up a pure white "color" flower and smelled its fragrance, a very light aroma. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and since he knew that Qi Han had won the battle, Su Juan's mood was much happier than before.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps behind him, Su Wan's eyes looked towards Shengyuan, his brother Su Jin had already inquired about the news and came back, Su Wan ordered Xiao Zhao to "insert" the flowers into the room.
Seeing that his brother had come closer, Su Jin's quiet and tranquil smile just now made Su Jin unable to bear to speak, and he restrained his mind and said: "Sister, King Lang is fine, we have also stayed here for a few days, and it is time to leave." β
Su Qian frowned, and when his brother walked in, he felt that there seemed to be some inexplicable love in his brother's eyes, and he hadn't urged himself to leave in the morning, and his brother must have something to hide.
"Brother, did you find out something? Tell sΓΉ Ajuan, is there something wrong with King Lang?"
Seeing her sister's nervous expression, Su Juan held her fragrant shoulder and comforted: "Sister, there's nothing going on." The elder brother is worried about the prince, and the elder brother has been out for some time, and he is just worried about his mother. β
Su Juan was also worried about her mother, but Su Juan always felt that what her brother said was a lie, and if her brother didn't want to say it, he wouldn't say it.
His expression was a little soothed, and he deliberately pretended to be obedient and said, "Then Ah Wan will go and pack up his things, and we will leave tomorrow." β
Su Jin didn't want to "force" her too tightly, which would arouse her suspicions, so she stretched out her hand and patted her shoulder, her face was kind, and she smiled gently, "Okay, I'll go and inform Uncle Rong, let's go back to Xuanzhou tomorrow." β
Su Juan nodded obediently, and walked towards the room with Xiao Zhao, the eyes in the corners of his eyes kept paying attention to his brother, although his brother turned his back to him, the slightly trembling shoulders could be concluded that his brother breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was more certain, what must have happened to Qi Han?
Back in the room, Xiao Zhao "inserted" the wild flower in the vase, and saw that Su Juan seemed to be thinking, could it be that the young lady was worried about the old lady's body like the eldest young master.
"Miss, tomorrow we will leave for Xuanzhou, and we can see the old lady. β
Su Juan didn't hear Xiao Zhao thinking about anything next to him? he was worried about Qi Han's safety, he definitely couldn't sit still, he had to figure out what was going on?
Gently stroking her abdomen with her hand, Xiuya's brows furrowed slightly, "Xiao Zhao, why do I feel a little hungry, it's noon." β
Xiao Zhao "planted" the flowers, and heard Su Juan say that he was a little hungry, Su Juan hadn't eaten anything in recent days, and his originally slender body was even thinner.
"Miss, you wait, Xiao Zhao will go to the kitchen for you to boil some white fungus soup. β
Su Juan deliberately separated Xiao Zhao'er, my brother should go to Uncle Rong now, there are only guards from Langwangfu in the courtyard, and they must leave the courtyard to know what happened.
Su Juan deliberately opened the guards in the yard, secretly came to the stable, and led a horse casually, Su Juan is the princess, and the two guards at the door were helpless in the face of Su Juan's toughness, and let Su Juan leave.
Su Jin told Rong An about the news he inquired about today, it was not that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, Su Juan was not suitable to stay in Xuanwu Pass at this time, and Rong An also agreed to Su Jin's suggestion, and he heard someone break in outside the door.
"Uncle Rong, it's no good, the princess left on her horse. β
Su Jin's face changed, and he was anxious to let Su Juan leave Xuanwu Pass and return to the imperial capital, just because he was afraid that Su Juan would rush into the barracks regardless of it. The barbarians are despicable and shameless, and when they were fighting, they put a plague on the soldiers, and now there is a plague, and Su Juan's body is very weak, and if he enters, he will lose his "life".
Su Jin hurriedly led everyone to ride towards the city gate on the back of Xuanwu Pass.
Su Juan rode his horse all the way, along the main city to the north, the north gate is now under martial law, and pedestrians have to check all the way.
Su Juan cautiously got off the horse, took the reins of the horse in his hand, and walked towards the soldiers who were on the verge of inspection.
The messenger saw that Su Juan was dressed in gorgeous plain clothes, and he knew that it was not an ordinary identity by looking at his temperament, and reminded: "This girl, in the epidemic area in front of you, the plague is raging in the barracks, if there is no important matter, it is best not to go, so as not to lose your life." β
The words of the messenger were like a hammer in the ears, and the brain roared, there was a plague in front, it must have been done by the barbarians, and the prayer for the cold was still in the barracks.
"Let me go, I'll be responsible for the consequences!"
Suddenly, a pair of powerful hands grabbed her wrists, raised them in the air, and said sharply: "Ah Juan, go back with my brother quickly." β
Su Juan gritted his teeth and resisted with all his strength, "Brother, you let me in, Qi Han is still in the barracks, I definitely can't abandon him, I want to see him." β
"Ah Juan, can you sober up? There is a royal medical officer in the barracks, what can you do if you go? It will only add "chaos" to King Lang, and if you don't get it right, you will lose your "life". β
Su Xuan's heart is full of prayers, she is already a person who has died once, what is there to fear of death? As long as she can be with her beloved, she is not afraid of anything.
"Brother, you let me go and let me go to see Qi Han, if Qi Han has anything to do, Ah Juan will not survive in the world. β
In the face of Su Juan's persistence, Su Jin had nothing to do, and directly shot at her 'acupoint', Su Juan's resentful eyes looked at her brother, but she was powerless to stop her sleeping eyes, and leaned forward.
Su Jin held Su Juan in his arms, "Ah Juan, my brother won't let you die." β
