Chapter 170 Going to Zhuluo Snow Mountain

Seeing Doctor Luo's hurried steps, Jiang Yunzheng frowned and stood up, asking, "Why are you here?"

Doctor Luo then told Qi Yunshen that he would be leaving the city tomorrow and that he would come back to get some spare medicine for Qi Yunshen.

Doctor Gu has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. Before leaving, he specially prepared hemostatic medicine and detoxification pills for Qi Yunshen according to his physique.

While Jiang Yunzheng went to get the medicine, Dr. Luo couldn't help but glance at the map on the table.

When Jiang Yunzheng came out, he asked, "Is this from Zhuluo Snow Mountain?"

Jiang Yunzheng nodded, handed a few bottles of medicine to Dr. Luo, and explained the instructions for use.

After taking the medicine, Dr. Luo hurried away.

When we passed the garden, the pedantic scholar was still waiting there.

Doctor Luo massaged his leg and roughly felt the broken bone. There was a temporary pen and paper in the medicine box. He quickly wrote down a prescription and explained the method of applying herbal medicine externally.

"Do you remember it?"

Jiang Wen said with gratitude: "Thank you, Doctor Luo."

Doctor Luo saw that although he was pedantic, his face was sincere. He nodded and asked, "What caused your leg injury?"

Jiang Wen had a look of regret on his face. "My family was bullied by a local bully. Even though I'm a scholar, I still have some courage in my heart. I fought that bully and my leg was broken."

Doctor Luo sighed, patted Jiang Wen on the shoulder, and left quickly.

That night, the light in Jiang Yunzheng's room stayed on until midnight.

In the garrison, Qi Yunshen stayed up all night, instructing Wei Mu on matters such as defending the city and communicating with Qin Lu on time. After everything was arranged, a bright line appeared on the horizon.

Doctor Luo waited until Qi Yunshen came out before he packed up the bottles and jars and gave them to the prince. "Prince, this is what Doctor Jiang brought back."

Qi Yunshen took a quick glance and asked, "When did you go?"

Doctor Luo touched his head and said, "Yesterday afternoon."

Qi Yunshen nodded, then jumped on his horse and left the garrison.

Doctor Luo looked at Qi Yunshen's back, feeling a little puzzled. He asked Qi An, "Where are you going, my Lord?"

Qi An said expressionlessly: "Go back to Xiazhou."

Doctor Luo: “Ah?”

Qi An: "I also thought he wasn't going back."

After Qi Yunshen arrived at the Qi Mansion, he had not yet taken off his armor.

Jiang Yunzheng went to bed late last night and was still catching up on her sleep in her room. When she was sleeping soundly, she felt an itch on her neck, as if a big dog was rubbing against her.

Jiang Yunzheng opened her eyes hazily, and what she saw was Qi Yunshen's handsome face that looked a little tired.

Qi Yunshen: "Awake?"

No matter how sleepy Jiang Yunzheng was, she woke up now.

She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Why are you back now? Didn't Doctor Luo say you were leaving tonight?"

Jiang Yunzheng's bed was clean. Fortunately, Qi Yunshen had wiped his face and hands before entering the room. He put a robe on Jiang Yunzheng and carried her to the table.

Jiang Yunzheng: “…………”

It’s amazing how strong you are!

Jiang Yunzheng raised her eyes slightly. There was a faint scum on the man's chin. "You didn't sleep all night?"

Qi Yunshen pressed Jiang Yunzheng's head into his arms. He hummed, "It's a military emergency. We have to leave for Shuitan City tonight. If we hurry, we'll be back in ten days."

Jiang Yunzheng leaned her face against Qi Yunshen's chest.

When the sun rose higher outside the window, Qi Yunshen let go of her and said, "I'm leaving."

Jiang Yunzheng wrapped her arms around Qi Yunshen's neck and said, "Be careful."

Qi Yunshen gently stroked her soft white cheek.

Jiang Yunzheng bent her legs slightly and hung on Qi Yunshen. She yawned and said, "I'm still sleepy. Carry me back to bed."

Qi Yunshen chuckled, put the person back on the bed, tucked the quilt carefully, kissed Jiang Yunzheng on the forehead, and then left.

The door opened and then closed gently.

Jiang Yunzheng sat up and looked at the door, her eyes slightly moist.

In the afternoon, Butler Luo invited a hunter from the foot of Zhuluo Snow Mountain for Jiang Yunzheng.

The hunter's name was Xiao Quan. He often came to Xiazhou City to sell mountain products, and it would take him several days to go back and forth. If the mountain products could not be sold out in a short time, Xiao Quan would stay in the dilapidated temple in Xiazhou City for a few days. Occasionally, he would set up a stall not far from the private school. Through these visits, Butler Luo got to know this man.

"I remember the cliff Young Master Jiang mentioned. It's facing Shuitan City, but it's a long way from Shuitan City. There are caves on the cliff, but the terrain is extremely dangerous. Even we locals don't dare to go there easily. It's bottomless and filled with wind and snow."

Jiang Yunzheng pursed her lips and asked, "How long does it take to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the edge of the cliff?"

"You can ride a horse to conserve your energy from the bottom of the mountain to halfway up. It will take about half a day."

"It's not easy to climb up the cliff. You need to go from the top to the back of the mountain, which takes at least half a day. If the weather is bad, a gust of wind can blow you away."

Jiang Yunzheng spent thirty taels of silver to buy a sheepskin map drawn by a local from Xiao Quan.

She suddenly took out the travel journal she had bought that morning and asked, "Do you recognize this person?"

"Oh, this is my great uncle. When did he write a book?"

Jiang Yunzheng: "...Where are his family members? Do you recognize his grandson?"

Xiao Quan nodded. "His grandson is now a teacher in our village. Mr. Jiang wants to see him?"

Jiang Yunzheng nodded.

Na Xiao smiled innocently, "It's really unfortunate. My brother broke his leg while climbing Zhuluo Snow Mountain a while ago. He's still recovering at home and can't even get out of bed."

It was almost dark, so Jiang Yunzheng asked the people to stay overnight in the front yard, and Butler Luo went to make arrangements.

After a while, Qingying and Doctor Luo came back. When they came back, they saw Butler Luo taking Xiao Quan away.

Jiang Yunzheng talked about the story of the Yellow Springs in Zhuluo Snow Mountain to open up spiritual roots.

Qingying's face was excited. "Then I'll send someone there right now."

Doctor Luo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yunzheng frowned slightly. "Don't worry. The main peak of Zhuluo Snow Mountain is very difficult to climb. The Huangquan Piling root grows on the edge of the cliff. It's very difficult to climb up and collect the herbs."

What's more, if the Huangquan Biling root is picked alone, the taste of the herb is highly toxic.

Qingying's face was serious. "Let's find some locals to lead the way."

Jiang Yunzheng pursed her lips and said, "I'll go with you."

Hou Yue, Qing Ying, and Doctor Luo all said in unison: "No."

Doctor Jiang looked so sick that he would collapse if the wind blew...

Hou Yue frowned and said, "If you're worried, I'll go for you. When you come back, give me three thousand taels of silver."

Jiang Yunzheng glanced at Hou Yue and said to Qingying, "I'm not trying to be brave, but the Huangquan Piling root is extremely poisonous. If you're not careful, you might die in the snowy mountains, let alone bring the herbs back."

Qingying looked embarrassed.

Doctor Luo: "Then I'll go!"
