Chapter 249 Lost
"Yes." He Yanxiu nodded, "I have been like this since I was a child."
The Third Prince heard He Yanxiu and Su Yujin talking outside the carriage, "..."
Yes, you're right, he loves riding horses!
Love it! The Third Prince gritted his teeth and swung the whip on the horse's butt.
"drive!"
…
They kept on traveling until it was very late in the evening, when the sky was dotted with stars, and then they stopped to take a short rest.
"Your Highness, Lord He." The guard who had gone out to explore the way came back and said, "We have checked carefully. As shown on the map, there are no villages or houses within 30 miles. I'm afraid we can only sleep in the wild tonight."
During the five or six days of traveling, they were able to find a place to stay at night only on two days, and the rest of the time they had to rest in the wild. The Third Prince and He Yanxiu were very used to it and didn't mind it.
"The terrain here is relatively flat, and there are small rivers around, which is suitable for drinking water and cooking. We will rest here tonight and set off early tomorrow morning." The Third Prince said, "Give orders to light a fire and cook."
"yes."
The guards and attendants all agreed and started to get busy.
Those who make fire make fire, those who fetch water fetch water, and those who make beds make beds.
When you are away from home, the bed will naturally not be particularly presentable. It is just a simple tent with a simple curtain, covered with tarpaulin for waterproofing, and a soft blanket as a mattress.
The weather is hot nowadays, so there is no need to prepare too much, just make do with what you have. Those who need to be on duty should prepare lanterns and other lighting items needed for night duty.
Dinner was simple. They used the dry food they brought with them to cook a pot of rice porridge, roasted a few fish caught from the river, and paired it with some soaked dried vegetables that Su Yujin brought with her to make a cold dish. It could be said that there were both meat and vegetables, and a combination of hot and cold foods.
Su Yujin has been showing off her cooking skills quite a lot these days, and she showed off a little bit of it tonight. She cut the preserved eggs she brought into small pieces and put them into the porridge, making it into preserved egg porridge.
They added water to the flour they brought and kneaded it into dough, patted it into the shape of a pancake with their hands, and baked it on hot stones to make stone cakes.
Although it is summer and the requirements for the temperature of things are not high, being able to eat freshly made delicious meals makes us feel happier than eating dry food.
What's more, Su Yujin's cooking skills are excellent. The century egg porridge tastes delicious, the stone cake is crispy and crunchy, and because it is sprinkled with some pepper and salt, it is very delicious. Even the cold pickled dried vegetables are refreshing and delicious.
The Third Prince ate four stone cakes in one breath, drank two bowls of century egg porridge, and even ate half a bowl of cold dishes.
Even after burping a lot, he was still reluctant to put down his bowl and chopsticks.
But his mouth was not satisfied and his stomach couldn't take it anymore, so the Third Prince could only stop eating reluctantly.
Su Yujin's craftsmanship is truly amazing!
No wonder He Yanxiu likes Su Yujin so much.
A beautiful, well-educated, intelligent, capable, skilled in medicine, good at cooking, and even proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting...
No matter who it is, I'm afraid no one can resist it.
The Third Prince suddenly felt that he understood why He Yanxiu stabbed him twice without hesitation.
If he met a woman he liked in the future, he would probably stab her in the back without hesitation even more than He Yanxiu did.
However, why hasn't such a woman come to him yet? Could it be that she got lost and couldn't find him for a while?
The Third Prince couldn't help but touch his nose.
The others were also happy to eat the fragrant stone cakes and other delicious meals, and were grateful to Su Yujin.
However, apart from the Third Prince, He Yanxiu, Xing'an and Rong Liang, no one knew Su Yujin's identity. They only thought that he was a doctor named Su Yu who followed him and was not good-looking.
"Doctor Su's cooking skills are good enough for him to be a chef!"
"I have benefited from Doctor Su's help these days. If Doctor Su has anything to say, just ask. Don't be polite."
"Doctor Su, please have a bowl of freshly brewed tea."
"Doctor Su, would you like another bowl of porridge? I'll help you serve it..."
Seeing so many guards gathered around Su Yujin, He Yanxiu's face visibly darkened, "It's getting late, everyone should rest early, we have to travel early tomorrow morning."
"yes."
Upon hearing He Yanxiu's words, the guards hurriedly went to clean up the kitchen leftovers, organize the kitchen utensils, tidy up the horses, and arrange night shifts.
He Yanxiu tidied up the carriage for Su Yujin, and then used the mugwort sticks prepared by Su Yujin to fumigate the carriage to prevent mosquitoes from getting close.
When Su Yujin got on the carriage and rested inside, He Yanxiu leaned on the seat in front of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
The Third Prince slept in a simple tent at night. Seeing this, he called out to He Yanxiu, "You have been working hard all day, why don't you sleep in this tent for a night."
"It's okay." He Yanxiu took a soft pillow to lean on, "This place is great."
Someone might target Su Yujin's life at any time, so he couldn't take it lightly.
Seeing this, the Third Prince stopped trying to persuade him. He just yawned and went into the tent to sleep.
As the night deepened, after midnight, everyone fell into a deep sleep. Even the guards on duty felt sleepy and dozed off.
The moon was hanging high in the sky, it jumped out from behind the clouds and gradually sank to the west.
Under the bright moonlight, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared, cutting through the air and rushing from afar.
Straight to He Yanxiu's face!
He Yanxiu, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, stretched out his hand to block the arrow, and firmly caught it in his hand.
After thinking for a moment, He Yanxiu took the arrow in his hand and threw it hard in the direction it came from.
With a "swish" sound, the sharp arrow flew away.
A moment later, a dark shadow fell from a tree not far away, making a dull sound.
"There's an assassin!"
The guard shouted, waking up everyone present.
Su Yujin lifted the car curtain, "Second Master..."
"Don't get out of the car." He Yanxiu said in a deep voice, and handed the two things on his waist to Su Yujin, "If someone gets close to you, the round ones are thunder bombs, and the porcelain bottle is a drug. Remember to cover your mouth and nose when using them."
After saying that, He Yanxiu closed all the doors and windows of the carriage and looked at the direction where the sharp arrow had just flown with a vigilant look on his face.
The Third Prince, who was lying in bed with his clothes on, also rushed out of the tent, holding the long whip he carried with him.
The Third Prince is obsessed with poetry and books, and has little experience in martial arts, so his skills are average. The only thing he can use fairly well is this long whip. If he can use it with skill, he can achieve the effect of using only a little force to move a large object.
"Who is it?" The Third Prince slowly approached He Yanxiu and asked in a low voice.
"Let's see if we can catch one alive later."
He Yanxiu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Someone is coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, several dark shadows took advantage of the situation and descended from the sky, landing among the Third Prince and He Yanxiu's group, waving their steel knives and starting a fight!
