Chapter 270 Injury
Zhou Bo was in an extremely happy mood. He laughed non-stop and said, "My two Qinglu horses are rare fine horses in Cangmu Country. I've sent someone to my home to bring them back. You must quickly bring the rest of the horses back to Bicheng without delay." After a pause, he said, "Be careful on the road!" Zhou Bo usually didn't like to talk much, and even when he spoke, he would be concise and as brief as possible. At this time, he suddenly said dozens of words in one breath, which was an extremely rare situation. Moreover, his words were earnest and his concern for his subordinate soldiers was evident in his expression, which was unprecedented.
Chu Xiaomu said, "In that case, thank you very much, General Zhou Zhongjun." He was worried about the safety of Zhang Hou, Lin Zhen and the other eight people, so he didn't say any polite words to Zhou Bu.
Zhou Bo called in two soldiers who were carrying stretchers, took out an elegant white stone bag from his pocket, handed it to them, and said, "Take this and bring the two green horses here. Go quickly and come back soon." The two soldiers responded and walked out quickly.
The pressure bag stone is a toy that some rich children in Cangmu country like to carry with them. I didn't expect Zhou Bo to have one too. When Chu Xiaomu saw it, he felt that although Zhou Zhongjun was serious, he didn't seem to be very old-fashioned.
Soon, two soldiers led the horses into the tent to report. Chu Xiaomu and General Bi Ye asked to leave, and Bi Ye reminded him again: "The yellow spirit is close to people, so be sure to treat it well." Chu Xiaomu nodded and remembered it.
When Chu Xiaomu came out of the tent, it was already getting dark. Yingdan had been waiting in a tent next to the general's tent for a long time. When she saw Chu Xiaomu finally come out of the general's tent, he looked anxious. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xiaomu, what's going on? What should we do next?"
Chu Xiaomu said as he walked: "The Claw Tribe's target is not Bicheng, their real goal is to go east into your Yutuo City."
Yingdan was surprised and worried when she heard that the destination of these Claw Tribe people was her hometown Yutuo City. She suddenly thought of Lin Zhen and said, "Lin Zhen and the others are still waiting for us to the east of the Nanding Army camp. The Claw Tribe people are likely to discover them if they move east. We have to notify them to come back quickly!"
Chu Xiaomu took two Qinglu horses brought by a soldier and said, "Let's set off now!" He couldn't help but laugh when he thought that Zhou Bo, one of the five major armies in Bicheng, would only lend him Qinglu horses when he was in a good mood.
After leaving the city, they first headed south along the official road. The Qinglu horses were indeed different from ordinary military horses. They were very stable on the back, and there was rarely any bumping after riding. Moreover, they ran like the wind, and one horse ran nearly 200 miles in one hour. Although Qisheng was small, he was still able to keep up with the two Qinglu horses. Chu Xiaomu was both excited and happy.
After passing a deserted post station, they gradually approached Huadu Hill. The two were afraid of encountering spies from the Claw Tribe, so they did not dare to walk on the official road anymore. Instead, they walked southeast for a while, then headed south, avoiding Huadu Hill from a distance.
As expected, they had no problems along the way, and did not encounter any Claw Tribe members. The two thought that since the Qinglu horses ran so fast, they would be able to escape even if they encountered Claw Tribe spies, so they were not afraid along the way. They were just worried about the safety of the other eight people, so they did not dare to stop along the way. When they were hungry, they took out dry food and ate it on the horse's back. When the horse was tired, it slowed down and trotted forward. It was not until it was completely dark that they had to find a place to rest the horse.
Chu Xiaomu knew that a group of Claw Clan assassins had already moved eastward, but he didn't know exactly where they started from, and he had no idea where they were now. The two of them were now on the east side of Huadu Hill, and they might run into Claw Clan troops, and more likely to run into scattered Bird Riders scouts, and they might not be as lucky as they were the night before to kill them. Therefore, the two of them didn't even dare to light a fire to rest for the night, and had to stay close together with Qisheng and the two Qinglu horses to survive the cold night.
Chu Xiaomu was sleeping in the middle of the night when he heard someone talking. He immediately sat up with a start. When he listened carefully, he found Yingdan talking in his sleep. His voice was unclear. Chu Xiaomu was startled when he heard his breathing was different. He touched his forehead and found that it was burning like charcoal. He was very sick.
Chu Xiaomu had not expected Yingdan to suddenly fall ill at this time. He was so anxious that he was confused and at a loss. He shook Yingdan's shoulder and called his name softly. Yingdan kept talking nonsense, but she seemed to be in a coma and did not wake up.
"What's going on...what should I do...what should I do..." The more Chu Xiaomu forced himself to calm down, the more confused his mind became. Hundreds of miles away, eight members of the herdsmen were now in danger of death, and another member next to him suddenly fell ill and seemed unable to walk anymore. This sudden big problem suddenly appeared in front of him, almost making him unable to breathe.
Yingdan's whole body felt as if it was on fire, and she was unconscious. It was obvious that she was very ill. If she didn't get medical treatment, her life would be in danger.
Thinking of the incident the night before yesterday when Yingdan was scratched by a Claw Clan thorn disciple, Chu Xiaomu suddenly realized: "Yes, it must be because of the scratches by the Claw Clan!" Unexpectedly, Yingdan endured all the way, and her condition only worsened today. Zhou Zhongjun is a martial arts master who can open the force. After being injured by the Claw Clan thorn disciple, he still lay on the shoulder pole and couldn't get up. How could Yingdan, with such a weak body, support it?
"What should I do...what should I do..." Chu Xiaomu asked himself over and over again. Should I go back to Bicheng to treat Yingdan first, or find Lin Zhen and the others first and then go back to Bicheng together? He was always very good at making decisions, until he encountered this dilemma, he realized that some things were indeed not as easy as imagined.
Although Yingdan was burning hot, she was shivering slightly, as if she was very afraid of the cold. Chu Xiaomu didn't care if he would be discovered by the Claw Tribe. He groped for a piece of oil-root grass, dug it out and lit a small fire. Yingdan really felt much better and gradually stopped shivering.
After finally making it to dawn, Yingdan finally woke up and said in a daze, "I'm so thirsty... I want to... drink some water..." Chu Xiaomu quickly opened the water bag and fed him a few sips. He found that his body was still hot and his condition had obviously not improved much. He asked, "Yingdan, are you feeling better?"
Yingdan said, "I'm fine... Let's take everyone back to Bicheng..." She struggled to stand up, but her head was dizzy and her whole body was weak. She just stood up halfway and then fell to the ground sideways.
Chu Xiaomu said: "You are not feeling well, why don't we go back to Bicheng first..."
Yingdan shook her head and said, "No, let's find Zhang Hou and the others and then go back to Bicheng together."
