After traveling all night, Tian An and his companions were finally not far from Tian Mingwu's escort team.
At night, Tian An gave himself an injection and forced himself to sleep so that he could maintain his energy to deal with the subsequent treatment of Tian Mingwu.
But she had something on her mind, and she opened her eyes at daybreak.
For fear of disturbing Zhao Yiming's rest, she could only close her eyes and pretend to take a nap.
But in fact, when she just opened her eyes, Zhao Yiming was already awake. Seeing that she really couldn't sleep, he simply pulled her up.
An hour later.
"Bang……"
A red flare exploded in the sky not far away.
This is the secret guard's distress signal.
"Move forward at full speed." Jingyu said without hesitation.
Sure enough, not long after walking, they could faintly hear the sound of noisy fighting ahead.
The sounds of various weapons clashing and people screaming mixed together, making it so chaotic that Tian An could no longer sit still. He stood up and was about to walk out of the carriage.
A carriage galloping at full speed was no joke. She was almost thrown out before she could even stand firmly.
Zhao Yiming knew that she was anxious, so he could only quickly load the short arrows on the crossbow and protect her as she walked out of the carriage.
As soon as the carriage door opened, the freezing wind blew in, almost tearing people's skin apart.
Zhao Yiming put the hand holding the crossbow around her waist and used the other hand to hold the carriage fence so that the two of them could stand steadily on the carriage.
Soon, the scene of the fight ahead appeared before everyone's eyes. As expected, the team escorting Tian Mingwu was attacked.
At this time, only five people in the entire team could still resist the killer. Judging from their appearance, they should be the people sent by Zhao Yiming to support them.
The original soldiers were all covered in blood, and some supported each other, while others leaned against each other. They were all carefully guarding against the killer who was temporarily blocked by the secret guards, and they were guarding a dilapidated carriage.
Deputy General Chen Cheng was fighting a bloody battle with a few soldiers who still had the strength to fight.
But he was too badly injured and was soon kicked to the ground by one of the killers. The other killer took the opportunity to rush over with a knife in hand, ready to give him the final blow.
"Deputy General Shen..."
The people around him were busy taking care of themselves and no one could go over to help him. They could only shout anxiously.
The remaining soldiers guarding the carriage rushed towards him desperately, but unfortunately they were too fast to save him.
The killer was very fast. In Shen Cheng's wide-open eyes, there was only the reflection of the sharp knife, and he could not hear anything. Just when he thought he was doomed.
But he heard a sharp sound of an arrow behind the killer. The killer in front of him paused and then fell beside him.
The remaining soldiers hurried over to help him up. He looked forward and saw a team rushing towards him on the wind. Standing on the carriage in the middle were the eldest daughter and son-in-law of their general's mansion.
The son-in-law was holding a very strange weapon with short arrows on it. He shot several arrows at this time, and every arrow hit the target. He could hit the target from a hundred steps away.
"It's reinforcements, the young lady and her husband are here to save us..."
Shen Cheng shouted this, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
"Deputy General Shen, Deputy General Shen..."
With the arrival of reinforcements, the situation turned around instantly.
Jingyu led his subordinates into the group of killers and fought with the enemy.
Zhao Yiming and Deng Xue protected Tian An and came to Chen Cheng.
After a quick check, he gave him a pill to save his life and ran towards the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Tian Mingwu, who had not been seen for two months, lay quietly, his head and body wrapped in bandages. His face, which originally had little flesh, now had sunken eye sockets, protruding cheeks, chapped lips, and no blood at all. Stubble covered his face, and his complexion was dull and lifeless. He looked haggard and thin, almost unrecognizable.
A man who was originally less than 40 years old now looked more than ten years older.
Tian An suppressed the bitterness in his heart and hurried over to give him a thorough physical examination before feeding him a life-saving pill.
At this time, the fight outside was over.
Tian An had Tian Mingwu carefully carried to her and Zhao Yiming's carriage, and then carried Chen Cheng to this carriage before setting off again with the team.
There are too many wounded in the team, so they cannot return immediately. They have to find a place to rest first.
Fortunately, there were quite a few horses left at the scene, and there were still some left after each person was given a horse. Zhao Yiming did not waste them and took all the horses with him.
As soon as he got back on the carriage, Tian An took Tian Mingwu directly into the space.
When Zhao Yiming finished arranging things and returned to the carriage, he found that the carriage was empty.
After a long time, Tian An came out of the space after giving Tian Mingwu the nutrient solution.
Seeing her come out, Zhao Yiming ordered them to set off.
Tian An saw this and asked, "How come it's been so long and you haven't started walking yet?"
Zhao Yiming glanced at her and said, "You're not in the carriage. How would I know if we left and you would follow us? What if the carriage left and you were still there?"
Tian An was stunned. She had never tried this before. Spaces were always the same place you entered them. But if you entered a space from a carriage, would you move with the carriage? Would you still be on the carriage when you emerged, or would you stay in the same place? She really didn't know.
It seems I have to find an opportunity to try it another day.
.....
After walking ten miles, they found a deserted village and decided to rest there for one night.
After the carriage stopped, Tian An moved Tian Mingwu out of the space. The nutrient solution had not yet been completely infused. Zhao Yiming looked at the infusion device and asked curiously, "What is this? What is the water in this bottle?"
"This is called an IV. The bottle contains nutrient solution. My father is having a hard time getting the nutrients he needs to function properly through food, which is why he's become so thin in such a short time.
The infusion of this nutrient solution can quickly replenish his body," Tian An explained.
Tian An took out a lot of golden wound medicine from the space and gave it to Deng Xue, asking her to help bandage the wounded soldiers.
He stayed in the carriage until Tian Mingwu finished the infusion of nutrient solution and removed the needle before getting off the carriage to check on everyone's condition.
Fortunately, they were all external injuries. Except for a few larger wounds that required Tian An's help in stitching, Deng Xue could help with the rest.
Shen Cheng had the most injuries. After Tian An treated him personally, he saw that he was still unconscious. The soldier beside him asked anxiously, "Miss, why is Lieutenant General Shen still not awake?"
"Hush!" Tian An made a quiet gesture and walked away with his men before saying, "His injuries are fine, he's just too tired. Let him rest for a while. Once he's rested enough, he'll wake up at noon tomorrow."
The soldiers were silent. How could they not be tired? During this time, they were able to take turns to rest, but Deputy General Shen was the only one who never closed his eyes.
After dinner, Tian An asked Deng Xue to boil some hot water and casually ordered a soldier to clean the dirt on Chen Cheng's body.
He also filled a basin of hot water and went to the carriage to wash Tian Mingwu's face, shave, and change the dressing.
After receiving an IV drip, washing his face and shaving, Tian Mingwu's complexion looked much better and his lips were not as dry as before.
