Chapter 128: Resistance (1st Update)
Seeing that the sky was dark, everyone was tired, and it was not convenient for Chiyan to find medicine, Xiao Jinyue had to let everyone find a place to rest, and then look for it again tomorrow.
Xiao Haoqing took the guards to hunt some small animals, roasted them on the fire for dinner, ate and drank enough, and arranged for the guards to be on duty for the night, and then everyone began to rest.
The next day, as soon as it was light, everyone woke up.
In ancient times, the mountain roads were not easy to walk, and finding medicine was also a physical task.
Everyone lit the fire, heated the leftover meat from last night, and after simply padding their stomachs, they continued to start a new round of searching.
Xiao Jinyue avoided the time when everyone was looking for a convenient place, and took the opportunity to take out the pickled meat pieces in the space and feed them to White Tiger and Red Flame.
After eating the special pieces of meat, White Tiger and Red Flame recovered a lot of spirits and continued to lead everyone to find medicine.
After finding the wrong medicine twice, Chi Yan and White Tiger decided to change places after discussing it in beast language.
Xiao Jinyue didn't expect that after following them over the mountains and mountains, he finally found the last two flavors of medicine on a hidden hill.
Seeing that all the medicines needed were found, the dark guard was happy in his heart, and while he was resting, he beat several animals to reward White Tiger and Red Flame.
Although the prey of the dark guard did not taste as good as the meat marinated in Xiao Jinyue's space, the white tiger and the red flame were hungry after crossing the mountains and mountains, and they did not dislike the prey of the dark guard, and they devoured it vigorously.
All the medicine that was lacking was collected, and everyone hurriedly set out on the way home.
Although they kept going all the way, by the time they got back to Kyoto, the gates were closed.
Xiao Jinyue frowned and looked at the high wall gate, and sighed in her heart, this ancient time was inconvenient, the city gate was closed at night, and there was a curfew. Unlike in modern times, you can go home whenever you want, no matter where you are.
Can't enter the city, if it was usual, it wouldn't be a big deal, but she was worried about the situation of the prince of Zhenguo, and she didn't know if his situation had deteriorated in the past two days.
The secret guard was worried about the situation of the prince, and quickly took out the waist card of the Zhenguo Mansion, wanting the soldiers guarding the city gate to open the city gate and let everyone in.
But the soldiers guarding the city gate didn't even glance at the waist card of the secret guard, and only said with an expressionless face that if they want to enter the city gate, they can only wait for tomorrow.
Hearing this reply, the secret guard's face was extremely ugly, but no matter whether he coerced, tempted or pleaded, the soldiers guarding the city gate were unmoved, so angry that he almost couldn't help but want to do it.
Seeing that the dark guard looked like he was about to make a move, the soldiers guarding the city gate stood on the wall gate and pointed their bows and arrows at everyone.
Xiao Haoqing saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the secret guard away.
Although Xiao Jinyue was also worried, there was nothing he could do about it, the soldiers defending the city refused to be accommodating, and even the waist card of the Zhenguo Mansion did not work, so they couldn't break in.
There is no other way but to wait for the dawn.
In order to be able to enter the city as soon as possible tomorrow, everyone can only find a place to sleep near the city gate.
The secret guard saw that Xiao Jinyue was running back and forth all the way in order to help the prince detoxify, going up and down the mountain to collect medicine, although he was tired, he didn't say a word.
He felt guilty in his heart, but he was also full of admiration for her, Miss Xiao's perseverance was no worse than that of these men. He secretly decided that when the prince woke up, he must inform the prince of the matter and let him repay Miss Xiao well.
Xiao Jinyue didn't know what the secret guard was thinking, he couldn't enter the city gate, so he could only sleep outside the city, this experience was the first time. Fortunately, she fed the prince of Zhenguo with spiritual spring water twice, and it should not be a problem to save her life.
This body is still too weak, and after running back and forth, her physical strength has reached the limit. After going back, she has to prepare an antidote, and she must recover her strength as soon as possible, otherwise she will not be able to hold on.
Xiao Jinyue tried her best to drive the worries out of her mind, empty her head, and slowly fell asleep leaning against the city wall.
The next day, the genius was bright, and everyone woke up.
Although the city gate was still closed and there was no movement, in order to strive to enter the city gate as soon as it was opened, everyone packed up and prepared to walk to the city gate.
Da-da-da-da.
Xiao Jinyue suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves running from behind, and before he could look back, there was a coquettish angry shout behind him.
"Early in the morning, all cats and dogs ran out to block the way, so don't get out of the way."
Xiao Jinyue turned around, only to see more than a dozen guards hugging a luxurious carriage parked behind their group, the crepe curtain was lifted by a pair of soft and white fingers, and a maid in a turquoise dress was glaring at Xiao Jinyue and his party with an angry face.
Needless to say, it was this maid who was scolded angrily just now, Xiao Jinyue didn't look at the delicate maid much, but crossed her and looked into the carriage.
There was a dignified and elegant girl sitting there, but at the age of seventeen or eighteen, dressed luxuriously, even if there was still some distance away, Xiao Jinyue could see that her skin was like snow and her complexion was beautiful.
Xu was aware of Xiao Jinyue's gaze, the girl looked sideways, glanced at it casually, and saw that it was just a group of dusty men surrounding an ordinarily dressed girl, and quickly withdrew her gaze.
"The gates of the city were opened at once, and they passed quickly." The girl withdrew her gaze, her willow brows furrowed slightly, and urged impatiently.
"Why don't you get out of the way, what, you're still waiting for me to get out of the car." Seeing Xiao Jinyue and his party standing in front of them without moving, the maid impatiently spoke again to drive people away.
The coachman raised the whip in his hand, and his eyes pumped towards Xiao Jinyue and his party without blinking.
The dark guard couldn't enter the city gate last night, and he was holding back a fire in his belly. Seeing that the coachman dared to whip them, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he held the coachman's whip firmly in his hand, and said coldly, "Do you understand the rules of first come, first come, first come, if you want to enter the city gate, wait." ”
When the coachman saw that his whip had not been whipped, he felt that he had lost face, and pulled the whip back hard. Who knew that the guard looked weak, but the whip did not move in his hand. Annoyed, the coachman said gloomily, "But a mere guard dared to let our girl wait behind, open your dog's eyes and see, this is the carriage of the Ningguo Mansion." ”
The secret guard was worried about his own prince, and he was anxious to enter the city as soon as possible, and he didn't want to entangle with them, so he shook the whip he was pumping, took out a waist tag from his arms, shook it in front of the coachman, and said impatiently, "If you dare to make trouble unreasonably, don't blame me for being polite." ”
The coachman was stunned when he saw the waist card, and he naturally didn't know the waist card of the Zhenguo Mansion. Although the status of the Zhenguo Mansion is high, their Ningguo Mansion is not bad, and the coachman just wanted to say something to fight back.
Unexpectedly, the girl in the carriage opened her mouth lightly, "It turned out to be the guard of the Zhenguo Mansion, and what happened just now was a misunderstanding." Uncle Zhao, let's wait before we enter the city. ”
Xiao Jinyue was slightly surprised when she saw that she was like this, but she didn't have the heart to pay too much attention.
The city gate was about to open, and she had to hurry back to the house to see if the situation of the prince of Zhenguo had deteriorated.
As soon as the hour came, the soldiers defending the city opened the heavy city gate, and Xiao Jinyue and his party immediately entered the city.
As soon as I entered the city, I saw Bai Guo riding a horse towards the city gate, and it seemed that he was about to leave the city.
Seeing Xiao Jinyue and his party, Bai Guo almost cried with joy, "The eldest young master, the second girl, you can be regarded as back, the general was arrested because of his resistance to the order." ”
