Chapter 266 Something is wrong

"In my opinion, Your Majesty is clearly worried about the safety of the Crown Prince, so you sent someone to pick him up."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng couldn't help but glare at Dexi.

"You old bastard, you're really getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to tease me."

Dexi quickly shook his head.

"I dare not."

He said he didn't dare, but his face was full of smiles, and he immediately went to make arrangements.

And at this time in Qi County.

Gu Jingchun was sitting in a carriage, on the way back to Tiandu.

The carriage sped along, and Chen Hechuan, Ye Wenxi, and all the others rode on horseback, traveling all night.

It was quite as urgent and fast as when Gu Jingchun arrived.

After Gu Jingchun got the news yesterday, she informed Chen Hechuan.

Chen Hechuan immediately realized that something might have happened. Without any hesitation, he counted the men and horses, took enough dry food, and set off overnight.

Now, they had been walking for a day and a night, and Gu Jingchun felt his whole body was numb.

She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Shen Hechuan who was riding a horse in front of her. She then looked at the dark night and the steep cliffs around her, and had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

If she remembered correctly, there was a valley ahead.

The valley was steep and there was only a narrow path for them to walk along.

However, if someone was lying in ambush in the valley, it would be a disaster for them.

For safety reasons, Gu Jingchun called the people around him and asked them to go and notify Chen Hechuan in front to stop first.

However, before the man could pass by, Shen Hechuan stopped first.

He rode his horse to Gu Jingchun's side, and seeing Gu Jingchun's gaze, he immediately explained:

"The road ahead is too dangerous. For safety reasons, we should send someone over to check the situation first. It won't be too late for us to go later."

Seeing that Chen Hechuan had the same idea as him, Gu Jingchun nodded and felt relieved.

Chen Hechuan looked at Gu Jingchun's pale face and knew that she was suffering at this time, but he could not stop his pace and could only comfort her: "You have suffered this time."

Gu Jingchun shook his head.

"Business is urgent. Especially at this time, we must be more vigilant."

Shen Hechuan nodded and couldn't help but look through the window at Gu Jinxi in the carriage.

"Is Xier awake?"

According to Doctor Sheng, Gu Jinxi should have woken up yesterday.

But for some reason, he didn't wake up, which worried Doctor Sheng. He used his medical skills and various medicinal herbs to study them together.

Now, even when he was on the road, he was not idle in the carriage, and was constantly developing new medicines.

Also, because the road was too bumpy, a lot of the medicine spilled.

This made him very angry and he kept cursing.

The way he cursed showed that he was really being true to his nature.

As Gu Jingchun was speaking, Gu Jinxi, who had been lying there, slowly opened his eyes.

"Mother..."

When he saw Gu Jinxi, he immediately stepped forward and threw himself into her arms.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Gu Jingchun touched Gu Jinxi's head and immediately comforted her gently.

"It's okay. Thanks to Xier, mother is fine."

"Mother is safe thanks to Xier's protection. Xier has really grown up and can even protect mother. Mother is really proud of you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinxi's little face immediately showed a smug and satisfied smile.

When Lan Xin saw this, she immediately helped Gu Jinxi prepare.

After washing his hands and face, he was immediately given various foods.

Gu Jinxi took it immediately and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Because Chen Hechuan wanted to wait for news, he simply got into the carriage.

Seeing this, Lan Xin and Xiao Man immediately got off the carriage and left space for the family of three.

As soon as Chen Hechuan got on the carriage, the first thing he saw was the big bag of buns next to Gu Jinxi.

This was specially prepared by Gu Jingchun for Gu Jinxi. She thought it tasted good, so she asked Lan Xin to buy a lot.

And now there are probably more than twenty buns on the table.

Such a number made Shen Hechuan frown.

"Can Xier finish all these buns?"

Gu Jingchun nodded.

She thought that since Chen Hechuan was Gu Jinxi's father, she naturally had to tell him all these things.

However, Chen Hechuan just thought that Gu Jingchun was lying to him and did not take it to heart.

However, when he watched Gu Jinxi eat the buns in two bites with great relish, and finish all the buns in the blink of an eye, his mouth opened wide in shock.

"he……"

Shen Hechuan looked at Gu Jingchun in shock.

"Won't he get an upset stomach if he eats like this?"

Gu Jingchun shook his head and finally explained, "I...didn't have much luck giving birth to Xier. That's why he looks smaller than other children his age.

It was normal at the beginning, but as he grew older, I found that his strength was greater than that of ordinary children, even beyond the normal level.

However, every time he exerted force, he would fall into a coma.

The more effort you put in, the longer you sleep.

After he wakes up, he will immediately consume a large amount of food, probably to replenish the energy consumed by the previous great effort."

After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, Shen Hechuan paused before looking at Gu Jingchun.

"It was my fault for not being with you before, which led to you being in this danger."

Gu Jingchun looked at Chen Hechuan. Although he wanted to agree with his sudden affection, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"I don't want you to accompany me at that time."

Chen Hechuan: “…”

It felt like an arrow hit my chest.

He glared at Gu Jingchun, turned his face away angrily, and turned his attention back to Gu Jinxi.

At this moment, the carriage door was knocked and Ye Wenxi stuck his head in.

"Something's wrong."

Everyone turned around in unison.

"The explorers have been gone for an hour, and there is no news at all, like a stone sinking into the sea."

Ye Wenxi said in a deep voice, "We have to be prepared. The enemy may have discovered us and may launch a sneak attack at any time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hechuan immediately tightened his grip on the sword.

"Stay in the carriage and don't come out casually."

But Gu Jingchun did not obey, but followed Chen Hechuan out of the carriage.

Shen Hechuan frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"It's dangerous, hurry up and go in."

Gu Jingchun ignored him, his eyes scanning the surrounding treacherous terrain sharply. Suddenly, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I have a way. Perhaps I can make them suffer a great loss without sacrificing a single soldier."

Ye Wenxi smiled when he heard this: "It's a great honor for them to have you help them." The two looked at each other tacitly.
