Chapter 42 The General is a Girl
When Song Yu was mentioned, Qi Qingyao remembered him and felt relieved. She lifted the curtain and looked outside. Song Yu was staring at the direction of the mountain with a vigilant look on his face.
The carriage sped up. Lu Wanning put her arm around Qi Qingyao's shoulders. Just in case, she took out the dagger that had been tucked into her boot and held it in her hand.
As the carriage suddenly stopped, a group of men in black holding machetes rushed down the mountain road.
These people were not wearing masks, which showed that they were prepared to risk their lives.
Song Yu led his servants to surround the carriage and shouted, "How dare you! Do you know who is sitting in this carriage? Don't you want to die?!"
The leader, with a full beard, laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Brothers, we didn't think of dying when we came out. Even if the person sitting in the carriage is the old emperor, we still have to die today. Let's cut off our heads and offer them as a sacrifice to our brothers in the village."
"presumptuous!"
Qi Qingyao was extremely angry. These bastards actually dared to curse her father. They were so bold.
Lu Wanning patted her shoulder and shook her head. "They are all desperate characters. Your Highness, please do not speak rashly. When you find the right opportunity, leave quickly and return to Baoji Temple."
Chen Wenjian and Luo Li must not have left yet, and there must be a lot of people following them.
Now is not the time to show off.
If you fall into the hands of these desperadoes, the outcome will not be as simple as losing your life.
Lu Wanning peeked out through the carriage curtain. There were quite a few people, all of them were heavily armed and had fierce looks on their faces.
She glanced at Song Yu who was sitting on the horse again, and really couldn't figure out what her chances of winning were.
His eyes turned, and he raised his hand and knocked on the carriage, "Hu Yan."
Hu Yan, who was already alert, turned around and saw her waving at her. She quickly came over, her face still tense, "Don't be afraid, Princess. I'm here."
Her eyes paused. For some reason, these words made Lu Wanning's chest tremble slightly. Perhaps it had been too long since she had been protected like this. Even though this person was only loyal to Qi Muchao's orders, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Her throat moved slightly, and she took out two packets of powder from her sleeve. "This is muscle softening powder. When you really start fighting, hold your breath and sprinkle the powder."
Hu Yan nodded and calmly took the things to herself, "I'll remember this."
Qi Qingyao was nervous but also a little adoring, "Sister-in-law, do you still have this medicine powder?"
"The softening powder is gone, but there's still plenty of itching powder."
Qi Qingyao held a packet of itching powder in one hand and stared at the car door vigilantly. If anyone came quickly, she would raise her hand and throw it at them.
Song Yu had already started fighting with these people. His skills were indeed quite good, and he could stop several strong men by himself.
Hu Yan stood in front of the carriage, and no one could get close.
At some point, another group of men in black jumped out from behind the carriage. They were very agile and they quickly gained the upper hand.
The leading gangster was stabbed in the arm, his eyes fierce, "Brothers, retreat first!"
But he couldn't retreat just because he wanted to. Song Yu pierced his chest with a sword, his eyes glaring, "I told you you're looking for death."
Most of the bandits died, and the remaining survivors were tied up and taken back by the guards.
Song Yu put away his sword and walked towards the carriage, "Princess——"
"Be careful!" Lu Wanning's pupils shrank suddenly, but her words were not as fast as the arrow that broke through the air.
Song Yu felt a pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a bloody arrow feather sticking out of his chest.
It actually pierced his chest.
His vision darkened, and he knelt on one knee, looking into the carriage, "Escort the princess back to the palace first."
Qi Qingyao's face turned pale and she was unable to speak.
She was a little princess raised in a greenhouse and had never seen such a scene.
Although he was a little annoyed by Song Yu's supervision of him, he only said it with his mouth. He would never let him die.
At this moment, her whole body was trembling, tears falling down her face. "Song Yu! Go back to the palace quickly and find the imperial physician!"
Lu Wanning shook her head, "It's too late."
She looked behind her and estimated whether this place was closer to Baoji Temple or to the west of the city.
He quickly spoke, "Go to the west of the city."
After moving Song Yu into the carriage, they quickly drove towards the west of the city.
She left her spare medicine box at Qi Muchao's house because she helped He Maosheng treat his injuries last time.
Now it’s a coincidence.
Lu Wanning took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, carefully poured out a pill from it, and fed it into Song Yu's mouth.
This medicine is very precious. It was left to her by her master. It can help her keep alive in critical moments.
Now she only has three left, and after feeding them to Song Yu, there are still two left.
When you meet your master again, be sure to ask him for more.
When they arrived at the west of the city, the guards helped Song Yu inside.
Afraid that the bloody scene would scare Qi Qingyao, Lu Wanning did not let her come in and only left Hu Yan to help her.
Lu Wanning disinfected the knife and asked Hu Yan to undress Song Yu first.
After a while, Hu Yan gasped, "Princess, this..."
Lu Wanning turned around and also took a breath of cold air.
General Xiao Song, who was lying on the bed, had his clothes undone, revealing the chest wrap clearly.
He is actually a woman!
Lu Wanning couldn't explain how she felt for a moment.
While she was complaining about the unfairness of her fate in the backyard, there was a young girl fighting the enemy on the battlefield with swords and guns.
Not only did he have outstanding abilities, he also surpassed those men and sat in the position of general.
Without time to sigh, she reminded Hu Yan: "We didn't see anything."
After treating Song Yu's wound, Lu Wanning carefully wrapped her wound with gauze, tidied her clothes, and only got up and left the room after making sure that everything was safe.
Qi Muchao had arrived here at some point, and when he saw her coming out, he came forward to greet her, "How is General Song?"
"Everything is fine now," Lu Wanning glanced at the courtyard. "Where's the princess?"
"She cried herself to sleep. I asked someone to send her back first."
Lu Wanning shook her neck. "General Xiao Song probably won't wake up for a while, so it's best not to move him now. Prince, go back and rest first. I'll stay here."
Qi Muchao frowned and said, "I'll let others guard here."
"No." Lu Wanning refused subconsciously.
After saying this, I could tell from Qi Muchao's narrowed eyes that my reaction seemed a little excited, so I quickly explained: "General Xiao Song is still in danger and may have a fever at night. I was finally able to save him, and I feel uneasy about anyone watching over him."
She spoke seriously. Qi Muchao looked at her for two seconds and finally nodded. "I'll have someone prepare a small couch for you to rest for a while. If General Song wakes up, I'll wake you up immediately."
Lu Wanning was still a little worried, but she had no reason to refuse.
Fortunately, Hu Yan quickly spoke up, "I will accompany the Crown Prince's wife to guard here."
Hu Yan was his servant, and as a servant, she would never speak unless he gave her an order. Sure enough, when he looked over, Hu Yan lowered her head in fear.
Although he had no idea what Lu Wanning was up to, Qi Muchao didn't refuse and said in a deep voice, "Whatever you want."
