The child's voice was weak, like a murmur, yet tinged with sobs, "Mother, where did you go? Those people won't come back, will they?"
Tiger heard the fight in the mountains last night clearly and was so frightened that he stayed in his mother's arms all night until he finally fell asleep at dawn.
When she woke up and found her mother gone, she was naturally frightened.
In addition, the fever made him extremely weak.
The woman was heartbroken and quickly stepped forward to hug Tiger, saying gently, "Tiger, don't be afraid, it's alright, Mother is here."
Perhaps because he was too tired, and also because of the fever, Tiger fell asleep quickly in the woman's arms.
Jiang Yimian stepped forward to check the other person's temperature and found it to be quite hot, probably due to catching a chill and the fright she experienced last night.
If the burning continues, the person might become delirious.
She covered it with her sleeve, took out fever-reducing medicine from her pocket, and fed it to Tiger before stopping.
Their gaze fell on the two people lying deep inside the cave. The one outside looked to be in his thirties, dressed in coarse linen clothes, and was clearly a villager from the surrounding area.
The one further inside was wearing armor, though it was stained red with blood. A few strands of silver hair were visible in his disheveled hair. Although he was lying on the ground unconscious, it was clear that he was very strong, unlike the average middle-aged man who was almost fifty.
However, the exposed skin is now covered in scars, which looks rather frightening.
Fortunately, the wound had been covered with a layer of medicine powder, which managed to stop the bleeding.
Jiang Yimian looked at Lu Cijian and asked, "Is this General Wei?"
Lu Cijian nodded, looking at the two people on the ground with a moment of difficulty, "The people outside suddenly left just now, it should be the group of people who went to chase people who have returned. They must know that General Wei is still on the mountain, and they are probably searching everywhere now."
"It will be difficult for us to get down the mountain."
Especially since they were accompanied by two unconscious people and a mother and child.
Jiang Yimian had obviously thought of this question as well, staring at the woman for a long time before asking, "Can you ride a horse?"
The woman paused, shook her head, then nodded, and asked cautiously, "Is it alright to ride a donkey before?"
That was several years ago, and she wasn't sure if she could ride it now, let alone a horse.
She had never even touched a horse.
Jiang Yimian felt a little melancholy, but then she could hear all sorts of chaotic footsteps outside, clearly indicating that those people had realized that Wei Jinghai was still on the mountain and were searching for him everywhere.
Lu Cijian simply said, "Take them away first; they'll come looking for us sooner or later."
After saying that, he picked up Wei Jinghai from the ground and then helped the other person up.
Jiang Yimian quickly stepped forward to help her up, staring at the woman and saying, "Stay close to us."
The woman nodded quickly, hesitated for a while, tied Tiger on her back, and then reached out to take Liu the Madman, saying, "Miss, let me support him. I can try riding a horse."
Although she had never ridden a horse before, she knew the situation was urgent. Even if she didn't know how, she had to try. She had barely escaped the flood and couldn't die here.
Jiang Yimian then looked at Lu Cijian and said, "I'll distract them, and you can take the opportunity to go down the mountain and leave on horseback."
Lu Cijian frowned and said, "I'll go. They were fooled once yesterday, so they might not believe it easily this time."
On the contrary, they will definitely use deadly force.
These people are not to be underestimated; they are different from those in the government offices, and they must be specially trained.
Even if he and Mianmian were together, it would be difficult to deal with these people, let alone Mianmian alone.
Jiang Yimian was only slightly dissatisfied, "What, do you look down on me?"
Lu Cijian frowned, "Mianmian."
He was well aware of Mianmian's prowess, but his worries were genuine.
Jiang Yimian laughed out loud and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will do my best to distract them. As for you, you should know how important the person on your body is. I am actually safer. Have you forgotten my life-saving methods?"
You need to get down the mountain as soon as possible; I don't have much time left.
Those people aren't stupid, especially since they were fooled yesterday; they'll definitely be more careful this time.
It's actually quite difficult to get everyone to pursue her.
Lu Cijian's side is certainly not having an easy time either, especially since he is leading four defenseless people.
If she hadn't tried to bring others in after bringing Lu Cijian into the space last time, but failed every time, she wouldn't be in such a predicament now.
The space is said to be omnipotent and truly omnipotent, able to hold anything, but only she and Lu Cijian can enter it; no one else can, which is a real headache for her.
Lu Cijian gave Jiang Yimian a deep look before saying, "Be careful."
After saying that, he carried the person on his back and quickly walked down the mountain.
Now is not the time to talk. He must take Wei Jinghai away. This man is too important to the Great Jin Dynasty now, and there can be no problems with him.
The woman quickly helped the other person catch up.
Jiang Yimian followed the faint sounds in the woods and immediately saw many people scattered around searching for someone.
She lay prone on the ground, using the bushes to conceal herself.
Her gaze fell on a thin man not far from her. She reached out, picked up a pebble, and threw it at him.
The man was suddenly hit by a stone and became alert. He looked around and saw that his companions were some distance away and he did not notice anything unusual. Only then did he slowly walk towards the direction from which the stone was thrown.
But the knife at his waist had already been slowly drawn.
However, just as he reached the edge of the bushes and before he could see what was inside, a dagger was suddenly thrust into his neck.
He was so shocked that his eyes widened, and before he could even utter a sound, he slowly collapsed.
Jiang Yimian quickly dragged the man into the bushes, smeared mud on his body and face, then carried him on her back and weaved through the woods, occasionally appearing in front of the crowd.
The woods were filled with shouts: "Found it! It's there!"
Qi Shang was leaning against a tree, applying medicine to the wound on his chest, when he suddenly heard shouts from the woods. He quickly suppressed the pain on his face, stood up, and said, "Let's go see who it is, lest we fall for their trap again."
Last night, he was careless and vaguely saw Jiang Qingyuan carrying someone, so he quickly led a group of people to chase after Jiang Qingyuan. At that time, he also made a point of leaving a small group of people on the mountain to continue searching.
To his surprise, he still fell for it. The kid was carrying a bundle of tree branches that were actually dressed up, which almost made him furious.
By the time he wanted to go back, it was already dawn. Although the bastard was exhausted and had been slashed several times, he still managed to deliver a final blow before falling into the raging flood and disappearing from sight.
If he and Jiang Qingyuan weren't on opposite sides, he would have wanted to become brothers with him.
Such loyalty and devotion to one's master are rare; he would rather die than abandon Wei Jinghai.
He had never encountered such a person under the King of Chu.
It's unclear what the relationship is between this person and Jiang Qingyuan, as well as Wei Jinghai.
