The cliff here is surrounded by sheer cliffs on three sides, and the bottom cannot be seen with the naked eye. Only the clouds and mist and wild trees can be seen on the mountainside.
The two arrived at the spot where Tianyun had once fallen off the cliff. The thick rope was still hanging on the cliff face, but there was a soldier guarding each side of the rope.
Judging from the style of their armor, they seem to be from the Liang army camp.
Tianyun covered her slightly swollen red lips and nodded obediently. She blinked her two round black eyes twice, and then saw the man sway slightly and dart behind another tree trunk, getting closer to the two guarding soldiers.
Xiao Ziwu slowly approached, not wanting to alert them and attract more pursuers, so he could only circle around behind them and deliver two hand chops.
Out of consideration for the fact that they were soldiers of the Great Liang, Xiao Ziwu did not go too far, but simply knocked them unconscious so that they could no longer send messages.
After the two fell to the ground, Xiao Ziwu quickly returned to the spot where he had placed the little woman, only to find it empty. His deep, dark eyes narrowed sharply.
The clouds have disappeared!
※※※※
But a moment ago—
Tianyun loosened her grip and nervously watched the situation over there. Only when she saw that His Highness had successfully ambushed the two of them did she relax and slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
Little did they expect that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Her attention was completely drawn to His Highness, and she didn't notice the sneaky figure behind her, quietly approaching her.
In the blink of an eye, Tianyun's mouth and nose were covered by a cloth from behind, and a bitter smell forcefully entered her nasal cavity, causing her to faint in a daze.
※※※※
Regain consciousness—
There was a cacophony of noise in my ears, probably from four or five people, their accents a mix of local dialects that I could only vaguely understand.
She didn't open her eyes immediately, but instead tried to discern the useful information in their words.
"This woman knows medicine, why don't we let her take a look at the deputy general?"
Deputy General?
Are they talking about Yang Yong or Gu Yi?
"That can't be right, this little girl knows medicine?"
The person's words revealed a mixture of belief and skepticism, but most likely, they did not believe it.
Some people scoffed, saying, "Even the military doctors are helpless, how can you expect this little girl to help?" Their tone was quite disdainful.
After listening to what she said, Tianyun had a general idea of what was going on. It turned out that someone had encountered a difficult and complicated illness, and even the accompanying military doctor was helpless. In desperation, they had turned to her for help.
But this should not have been the original purpose of abducting her. Judging from what these people said, it should have been a coincidence that they learned she knew some medical skills.
I just don't know whether this deputy general is Yang Yong or Gu Yi?
If it were Yang Yong...
She still owed someone a favor, so she was happy to help.
Having learned almost everything he needed to know, Tianyun slowly woke up.
As soon as they realized she was awake, they stopped talking with strange expressions and became silent, like quails that believe silence is golden.
With his hands and feet bound by ropes, Tianyun was thrown into a corner, unable to move.
Her throat was unbearably dry, and she swallowed hard, her voice hoarse: "Could I have a glass of water?"
The woman's black hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, and her hands and feet, bound by ropes, were slightly bent. She looked like a mermaid stranded on the shore, frail, delicate, and utterly harmless.
She was neither a criminal nor a prisoner of war, so those people did not make things difficult for her.
The youngest soldier, who hadn't participated in the discussion, couldn't resist his soft heart and poured her a glass of water, feeding her while blushing slightly. "Drink slowly..." he said.
After rinsing her throat with a glass of warm water, Tianyun felt a little better. She gave the young soldier a grateful look.
Thank you.
The beauty smiled, and few could resist her charm. After the woman thanked him, his face turned even redder, almost bleeding! The other soldiers looked at him with a hint of apprehension.
A soldier with a scar on his face came over, nudged him in the waist with his elbow, and winked at him, saying, "That young lady is a well-bred lady from a prominent family in the capital. Does she need you to fawn over her? She wouldn't even look at a greenhorn like you!"
As if his thoughts had been exposed, the young soldier's embarrassment faded considerably, and he retorted somewhat angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting? When...when have I ever had any improper thoughts about this girl?"
You know best whether it's true or not!
The scarred man rolled his eyes, uttered those words, and then ignored him. He can't even speak properly, yet he claims he hasn't been bewitched by the girl? Doesn't he realize that this noblewoman from the capital is someone he could even dream of?!
The two exchanged a few words, then went their separate ways.
Tianyun was secretly anxious, but they didn't bring up the topic again.
The young soldier who was feeding water looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to the corner anymore, leaned close to Tianyun and whispered something.
"If there is anything else you need, please don't hesitate to tell me."
After saying that, she jumped several meters away as if her butt had been burned, her delicate face showing embarrassment, and her expression was flustered and somewhat embarrassed.
Tianyun: "..."
You've come all this way, how am I supposed to tell you if I really need something?
The scene was deathly silent.
Fortunately, not long after, someone rushed over, wanting to take Tianyun to see a doctor.
He rattled off a string of words: "Deputy General Gu suddenly developed a high fever, and his face is covered in bright red rashes. Even the military doctor can't figure out what's wrong. It would be best if this young lady went over to take a look!"
This illness seems to be quite serious, and the current situation cannot be delayed.
The scarred man seemed to have the most authority in the crowd. He frowned and decisively said, "Untie this girl and take her over." He pointed to the handsome young soldier.
