Chapter 343 Sending Chicks Away

Chirp was thrilled to hear the familiar voice. What could be more joyful than meeting an old friend in a foreign land?

But Qiuqiu became unhappy the moment she saw Jin Fengnian.

Jin Fengnian was much tanned, but he looked energetic. Like his three uncles from the Yun family, he was covered in blood, with white bandages wrapped around his arms, the blood seeping out and staining a large area red.

He was spoiled since childhood, and his father and uncle had never let him suffer so much. He could usually put up with it in front of outsiders for the sake of his reputation, but things were different after he saw Qiuqiu.

Even though he's an adult, he still wants to complain to Chiu Chiu.

The man, who was pretending to be aloof, opened and closed his mouth, picked up Qiuqiu, sat down on a chair, and began to speak ill of the Turks.

His constant rambling made him seem like a buzzing fly.

Yun Jingsong: "You only have an arm injury..."

Jin Fengnian nodded and moved his injured arm in front of Qiuqiu: "Last night, that scoundrel Naquan actually used the women, children and elderly of Da Zhou as prisoners of war to force them to clear the way. I was really amazing, I even saved two children, but I got hit by an arrow, it hurts so much!"

Yun Jingsong: "..."

Last night, when there was no anesthetic, this guy didn't say that when he told people to just pull out the arrow!

Chiu Chiu's eyes widened in admiration for Jin Fengnian's heroic deeds. She didn't hold back her praise, giving Jin Fengnian a thumbs up: "Jin Jin, awesome!"

Jinjin has grown up!

Jin Fengnian was practically wagging his tail like a big dog being praised. "That's right. Before, it was all just small-scale fighting. A real man should go to the battlefield to fight and defend his country. That's what a true man does!"

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Jin Fengnian heard from the soldiers that General Yun's niece had come, and he guessed that it was Qiuqiu. However, he didn't know what Qiuqiu was doing here. He quickly urged Qiuqiu to leave, "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, you should hurry back to the capital."

Chiu Chiu shook her head: "I'm not leaving."

"Cheep, come on, be a hero!"

[Hehe, I'm a real man now!]

She thought Jin Feng would praise her at the annual meeting, but instead, his face darkened, and he became serious, completely unlike his usual carefree and irresponsible self. "You're just a young girl, why are you acting like a real man? Hurry home, it's dangerous. I'll bring you gold when Jin Jin gets back."

Jin Fengnian tried to bribe Qiuqiu by slipping her a handful of silver notes to return to the capital. However, Qiuqiu was unethical and only took the money without going back.

This is Jinjin's protection money, and she accepts it without a care in the world!

"Jin Jin, Qiu Qiu beats up the bad guys." Qiu Qiu raised his fist as if he could knock down a whole bunch of people at any moment.

Uncle Yun couldn't dissuade Qiuqiu and was already planning to knock her unconscious in the middle of the night, put her in a carriage, and send her back. But it was good that Jin Fengnian could persuade Qiuqiu, so they wouldn't have to be the bad guys.

However, they clearly didn't understand the extent to which Jin Fengnian obeyed Qiuqiu's every word. Jin Fengnian paced back and forth in the room, but after a moment, she gritted her teeth and made a decision, "I'll go with you!"

The Yun family uncles: "..." Oh no, another one has gone mad.

Yun Juange didn't want to dwell on the matter anymore, so she pretended to let it go: "Chiu Chiu and the Prince have been traveling a long way, so let's rest first and then discuss it further."

He went to see if there was any sleeping potion left!

The end of the year was a frugal time, and the so-called welcome dinner for the two of them was really just an extra pot of strong liquor.

"The temperature drops sharply at night in Cangcheng Pass; a little wine can warm you up."

The two adults and one child sitting opposite the Yun family uncles huddled together like little quails, and shook their heads in unison upon hearing this.

Okay, none of them can drink.

The three of them weren't picky eaters and ate whatever was available. While the herdsmen were tending their sheep, Qiuqiu drank a bowl of sheep's milk. It tasted a bit goaty, and after drinking too much, she felt dizzy.

The chubby little boy sat there in a daze, lost in thought.

Yun Juange calculated that it was about time, so she asked her second brother to take Qiuqiu and the others to "settle down" while she went to arrange the carriage.

Yun Wenyu held the soft, fluffy chick, her limbs stiff.

Yun Jingsong: "Your Highness, Young Master Jin, I have something important to discuss with you. May I speak with you in private?"

Prince Ning and Jin Fengnian, unsuspecting, followed Yun Jingsong out the door. After only a few steps, they both felt a sharp pain in the back of their necks and collapsed limply.

In their last moments before losing consciousness, their thought was... Why aren't they given any medicine?!

Yun Juange strode over: "The carriages have all been arranged. I'll have Xiaofeng escort them. How about Qiuqiu?"

The sleeping potion was added to the wine, and Prince Ning and his men had to endure it if they didn't drink it. They were reluctant to slap her, but also afraid of hurting her by giving her the drug, so they pressed her pressure points to put her to sleep.

"Chirp has fallen asleep. Cangcheng Pass is not safe. Tell them to leave quickly!"

As the smoke rises, another fierce battle is likely to take place tonight.

Yun Xiaofeng is the last surviving member of a collateral branch of the Yun family. He grew up in a military camp and is reliable. It's safe to entrust Qiuqiu to the three of them.

Yun Xiaofeng, having received the order, dared not delay and drove the carriage at breakneck speed. The carriage kicked up clouds of dust as it passed, pressing on relentlessly.

Xiao Liu: "That kid's pretty fast! Boss, should we chase him?"

Thirteen stretched his limbs. "Let's go to the Turkic territory and ambush them. Don't worry, Qiuqiu isn't asleep."

"Not asleep?" Xiao Liu was shocked. "That's impossible. I saw her being put to sleep by acupressure."

Thirteen could only say that Six was too naive, "You'll understand later."

Chiu Chiu is a strange little thing. When Thirteen was trying to put her to sleep, he discovered that acupressure didn't work on her at all. This little rascal is clever; she's probably just pretending to be asleep. And the Yun family uncles, being so protective of the child, probably didn't investigate further.

The carriage sped along, and Chirp groggily opened her eyes. She'd actually fallen asleep!

She stretched and looked at the two people lying at her feet, tilting her head in confusion, "Jinjin is here too?"

Never mind, let's wake them up first!

Enjoy Chirp's wake-up service!

The chubby little bundle nestled against my chest, and I felt a tightness in my chest. I slowly woke up and met a pair of bright, big eyes.

"Get down first." Prince Ning nudged Qiuqiu, his neck aching. "Where are we now?"

"Shh!" She put her short, chubby finger to her lips and gestured towards the outside.

[Do not make any noise!]

Prince Ning nodded, settled Qiuqiu in, and drew a short dagger from his sleeve, holding it horizontally in front of his chest. Before Qiuqiu could exclaim in surprise, he whispered, "Don't kill him, we'll threaten him."

Prince Ning was no weak scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken. He often did physical labor when he was young. He moved quickly and placed the sharp blade directly on the other person's throbbing vein. "Young general, don't move, or I'll shake my hand and you'll lose your life."

Yun Xiaofeng tightened his grip on the reins, and the carriage came to a stop. "You're actually awake?"

“Surprised?” Prince Ning raised his dagger. “Now turn the carriage around and send us out of Cangcheng Pass.”

Yun Xiaofeng refused: "Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me. I am under orders from my commander to escort you back to the capital. Even if I die and become a ghost, I will deliver you safely."

Wow, he's amazing! He even managed to send me home after I died!

Prince Ning: Now is not the time to talk about this!

Yun Xiaofeng: "What?"

“Talk to me.” A fluffy little head poked out from the carriage, and Chiu Chiu gave Yun Xiaofeng an innocent smile.

Before the other person could respond, she raised her little fist and stood in front of them: "Let me see?"

Yun Xiaofeng wasn't so tough on Qiuqiu, and patiently asked her, "What do you want to show Brother Xiaofeng?"

Chiu Chiu glanced guiltily at the dark-skinned young man: "Look..."

【Chirp's Iron Fist!】

"ah!"
