Chapter 37: Things Are Grim Arrive at White City
It's not too late to come out of the Seven Emperors' Mansion, at least I won't be nagged by my father when I go back tonight, Su Xiuyun is still a little happy in her heart. Just sitting in the carriage on the way back, she was worried about another thing in her heart.
Now that the first stage of treatment of Xuanyuan's leg is over, it is about to enter the second stage of stabilization, but the whole process is still short of the key medicinal materials. This medicinal material is only available in Nanshan outside the city, and it is very difficult to survive and pick, and only a person like Su Xiuyun, who is proficient in strange medicinal materials, dares to say that he can try picking it.
Although she can try to pick them, there is one more difficult thing, and that is how to get out of the city. Since she was reborn, the people of Su Mansion have regarded her as a treasure after coming back from the dead, and they all wish that she would stay in the mansion and never go anywhere, so General Su will definitely not agree to her going outside the city to pick any medicinal herbs.
And with the old lady's temperament, it is estimated that she will be stopped, so that the chance of going out of the city is not great. With such a problem, Su Xiuyun returned to the house, but she didn't expect to see her father sitting on a stool in the courtyard waiting for her as soon as she returned to the courtyard.
Because he couldn't see his face, Su Xiuyun could only look at his back from afar, just by looking at Su Xiuyun like this, he could sense that General Su was in a bad mood tonight. So he quickly stepped forward and sat down opposite General Su, "Dad, why are you so sad?" โ
Hearing her voice, Su Zhanming raised his head and looked back at her, "Is it going well today?" โ
"Smooth, my daughter also had a good meal."
Hearing this, Su Zhanming nodded, "That's not bad, if you're bullied, tell your father." โ
"Don't worry, Dad, my daughter won't suffer. It's you, why are you so preoccupied, but what tricky things have happened? โ
From the moment she entered the door, Su Xiuyun noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, there was no one in the courtyard, and it was obvious that Su Zhanming had retreated, and the seriousness of the matter could be seen from this. Hearing the question, Su Zhanming sighed, "It's not been peaceful outside the city recently, if it weren't for the Seventh Prince to send someone to escort you back, Dad would definitely not let you go." โ
What is so serious that Su Zhanming knew that when she went to treat Xuanyuan's legs, she only symbolically persuaded her and did not stop it, and it would be a big deal if she stopped it at this time. "What's so serious?"
"Today, the emperor said that there are signs of barbarian activities outside the city, and a large number of barbarians have begun to come in, and what intentions behind this are unknown."
"But since the barbarians came in, the outside of the city has not been peaceful, and today there is a life lawsuit, and the emperor sent his father to clear it, which is a bit tricky."
As a general who has been on the battlefield all year round, it seems that he should not say anything difficult, but he still has a headache in the face of the barbarian Su Zhanming. It's not that I haven't fought with the barbarians before, those people don't pay attention to any civilization, and they can use any indiscriminate tricks when they encounter the enemy, and Su Zhanming has suffered a lot in their hands.
Hearing this, Su Xiuyun was also a little troubled, but at the same time, she was a little lucky. The difficulty is not to let his father put himself in danger, after all, the barbarians are not easy to deal with, what if something happens; Fortunately, the barbarians are outside the city, and if Daddy goes to arrest people, he can go out of the city with him, so that the matter of medicinal materials can be solved.
Su Xiuyun roughly thought about the plan in her mind, first comforted Su Zhanming a few words, and then said tentatively: "Daddy, it will definitely not be easy for you to go out of the city this time, my daughter will have some medical skills and want to follow you in case of emergency, you see-"
"Nonsense!" Before Su Xiuyun finished speaking, he was sternly rejected by Su Zhanming, and almost the moment he heard that Su Xiuyun was going to go outside the city, Su Zhanming was angry. "What are you going to do with this little girl, isn't there a doctor in the barracks!"
"But Daddy, daughterโ"
"Say no more, there's nothing but! I said I wasn't allowed to go, I wasn't allowed to go! If your grandmother hears this, she will blame you! Su Zhanming's attitude was firm, and he would not agree to Su Xiuyun going with him, and Su Xiuyun would not discuss it well when he saw this, so he came directly.
"Good! Since Daddy won't let me go, then I won't let Daddy go! Why do so many generals in the DPRK and China prefer to let their father go alone, I don't agree! โ
"Nonsense! It's nonsense! โ
"Daddy's words are not right, you are worried that your daughter will not let her go, so I am worried that you will not let you go. Wouldn't it be too discriminatory for the father to disagree like this, in short, the daughter disagreed! โ
"It's up to you to decide whether you agree or not, it's a foregone conclusion that the emperor will send me, don't talk nonsense!"
"Since it's a foregone conclusion, then Daddy won't take me, I'll follow me quietly, and if something happens to Daddy, I'll regret it!"
"You! You! It's justโit's unbelievable! โ
"What if my daughter is unreasonable, daddy will do it!" There is no way, Su Xiuyun doesn't want to do this, but it must be like this for the sake of his own plan. She knew that Su Zhanming wouldn't really be angry, but she was just worried, so she dared to be so unscrupulous.
"Alas, you, have the same temperament as your mother!" Sighing, Su Zhanming couldn't resist Su Xiuyun so much so he had to agree. "It's okay to go, but you have to promise Dad a few conditions, otherwise I won't let you go even if I tie you up at home!"
"Cheng, as long as you can follow your father to take care of me, I will agree to any conditions!"
In this way, the two reached an agreement in a harmonious atmosphere that was not harmonious, and in the end, Su Xiuyun followed Su Zhanming's team, pretending to be the daughter of a businessman to follow in business. Su Zhanming didn't have too much of a big battle this time, and only brought a few close attendants to follow him as men.
When he knew that Su Xiuyun was going out of the city, Xuanyuan Li sent a secret guard named Leng Li, who was also arranged by Su Zhanming to follow the team. In this way, the team arrived at the border of Shangjing - Baicheng three days later.
Baicheng, the closest city to Shangjing, is still rich because it is close to the feet of the Son of Heaven. It has a large population, but it is also the first choice for refugees from all over the world, so it has also formed a number of refugee camps. Along the way, Su Xiuyun and his entourage met many fleeing people in the suburbs of Shangjing, and these people had to become robbers in order to make a living.
But without professional tools and careful planning, Su Zhanming easily cleaned up when he robbed their team for the first time. In the end, because of their refugee status, Su Zhanming did not embarrass them, but gave them some food and silver money before leaving, hoping that they could find a new job to live.
After sending the refugees, their group really arrived in White City. And not long after entering Baicheng, they saw no less than twenty barbarians, seeing this scene Su Zhanming frowned, and felt more and more that something was wrong, and at the same time knew that this battle was not easy to fight.
