Chapter 370 Secret Meeting

"My Lord," Huo San whispered, "When I came back, I saw a few people trying to take her away. After I beat them away, I saw her fainted on the ground. I couldn't bear to leave her alone, so I had to bring her back."

After saying this, Huo San knelt on one knee and said, "Sir, I acted without authorization. Please punish me."

Huo Xifei sighed: "What's wrong with you? Well, let's find a doctor to see her first."

After saying that, he returned to his room. Thinking about this matter, Huo Xifei felt a headache.

"Sir." Half an hour later, Pingshan entered Huo Xifei's room, bowed, and said, "The young lady has woken up."

"Is the doctor here to see the patient?" Huo Xifei put down the military book in his hand and asked.

"Yes," Pingshan replied, "The doctor has been here, took the girl's pulse, and prescribed some medicine."

"What did the doctor say? Is it serious?"

"It's nothing serious," Pingshan said hurriedly. "The doctor said it was due to overwork. The girl wasn't in good health to begin with, and she was frightened, which led to her fainting. She just needs to recuperate for a while."

"Yeah." Huo Xifei nodded: "What's going on with those people who arrested him?"

Pingshan said, "I heard from that girl that those guys were accomplices of the ones who arrested her before. She just wanted to buy some steamed buns to fill her stomach, but she happened to run into those guys. If she hadn't run into Huo San, she would have been arrested."

Huo Xifei frowned. Those people actually followed him here. It seemed that they were unwilling to give up and were determined to capture him back.

This woman is also stubborn. If you leave her alone again, I'm afraid she will still follow you. This time she is lucky to be rescued by Huo San again. If there is a next time, it is hard to say what the result will be.

It seems that this woman can only be taken with me temporarily, but how to place her is really a problem.

For the first time, Huo Xifei felt that saving someone had brought him into trouble.

Huo Xifei frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Forget it, take the person with you first. You go and tell Huo San, and he will take care of the person."

Master Huo decided that he would rather die than let his fellow Taoist die. Since the person was brought back by Huo San, he would leave her to Huo San's care. Anyway, he absolutely did not want to have any other women around him except Yuan Ziyu, not even a maid.

"Yes, Prince." Pingshan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. Fortunately, the Prince did not let him take care of that woman, otherwise he would have collapsed. But... Pingshan secretly sympathized with Huo San in his heart and shed a few tears of sympathy for him. It was pitiful that a dignified Eagle Guard had to take care of a sick woman. Tsk tsk.

As expected, Huo San's eyes widened immediately after he learned of Huo Xifei's decision. However, the prince had given orders and he had to obey. Huo San responded with a mournful look. He glanced at Liu Tao, who was leaning against the bed and looking at him anxiously, and sighed, "Our master has agreed to let you follow him. However, our master never keeps maids around him, and he doesn't like women around him. Just follow me, and don't disturb our master."

"Yes, thank you, sir." Liu Tao felt relieved, but also a little surprised. How could such a handsome man not like women around him? However, as long as she could go with him, she would always find a way to repay her kindness.

Liu Tao was not seriously injured, so the next day, the group of five continued their journey. Because of the weak Liu Tao, Huo San specially hired a carriage and let Liu Tao ride in it.

As a result, those who had been secretly following and looking for an opportunity to capture Liu Tao had to give up in anger. However, they were unwilling to lose both their money and their lives, so they turned back and went to Liu Tao's parents' home, asked for the silver they had used to buy Liu Tao, and robbed some other things before giving up.

On this day, Huo Xifei and his party arrived at the city where the frontier army was stationed - Harlan.

Harlan City was not the most remote city on the border of the Dali Dynasty. It was just that during this period of time, the officers and soldiers of the Dali Dynasty suffered a series of defeats and lost several cities in succession, so the army retreated to Harlan City.

The original city of Harlan was considered one of the more prosperous cities on the frontier, but now, looking around, the streets are sparsely populated, many shops are closed, and the whole city is filled with an atmosphere of decadence and depression.

After entering Harlan City, Huo Xifei asked Pingshan to find a small house to rent, and the group moved in.

Now that he had just arrived here, Huo Xifei planned to secretly investigate the situation and also find out the details of Jian Changzhi.

The person who passed the message to Yuan Qifeng was named Sun Yan, a close confidant of Zheng Dusi, the frontier defender. Zheng Dusi's name was Zheng Laishun. He was originally a general under Yuan Qifeng. He was very brave in battle and had made numerous military achievements for the frontier.

Ever since Yuan Qifeng was ordered to return to Beijing, Zheng Laishun has been guarding the border and has always been in contact with Yuan Qifeng.

Pingshan knew Sun Yan.

After the group settled down in Harlan City, Pingshan secretly found Sun Yan and quietly brought him back to the house.

"Prince." In the right wing room which was temporarily used as a study, Sun Yan looked at Huo Xifei with surprise and bowed deeply.

"No need to be so polite, get up quickly." Huo Xifei said hurriedly, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Sun Yan kowtowed and said happily while sitting on a chair, "Your Highness is here. These officers, soldiers and civilians stationed at the border will be saved. This is truly great."

"What exactly is going on?" Huo Xifei asked, "What has happened in the past period of time?"

In the message that Sun Yan passed to Yuan Qifeng, he only briefly talked about the current situation on the border and did not say much else.

"Alas." Sun Yan sighed upon hearing this, tears streaming down his face. He choked up and said, "Prince, if only you or General Yuan had been on this frontier during those battles a while ago, Commander Li and Vice Minister Wang wouldn't have died in battle, and... their deaths wouldn't have been so miserable."

"What exactly happened?" Huo Xifei asked hurriedly when he heard that Li Dusi and Wang Qianshi were both killed in the battle.

Sun Yan wiped away her tears and told Huo Xifei in detail what had happened during this period of time.
