Chapter 332: Meet Again! Gathering at Yumen Pass
Inside Yumen Pass.
"You two came here because something happened to Miss Huo?" Wen Ziduan felt something was wrong when he saw Long Feibai and Jin Yujie for the first time. Long Feibai should have stayed to guard Huo Junhua.
Before Long Feibai could say anything, the tent curtain was drawn aside, a cold wind blew in, the campfire flickered, and everyone shuddered. Huo Buyi had just returned from cleaning up the battlefield with his troops, and now he was covered in frost.
"How's my aunt? Is she awake?!"
Long Feibai nodded, poured another cup of ginger and sugar water in front of Jin Yuji, and poured another bowl for Huo Buzhi, indicating that he should drink some to drive away the cold.
"On the third day after Zhaojun left, Lady Huo woke up, and her condition was better than expected, thanks to the Soul-Settling Pills donated by Jin Yuji, combined with the Miao herbs and the acupuncture by Medical Officer Sun. After waking up, she heard that you and Shao Shang were both in the northwest. She was anxious and asked to enter the palace to accompany Concubine Yue and Empress Xuan, and asked Jin Yuji and me to come to her aid."
Long Feibai had never spoken so much in his life, and in front of so many people, his face actually started to burn. It was the first time he felt so many blazing gazes, and he was quite uncomfortable.
Huo Buyi excitedly hugged Shao Shang and spun around twice, then the two of them bowed deeply to Jin Yuji and Long Feibai: "Thank you, Princess, for the medicine, and thank you, Young Master Long, for your wonderful hands!"
Under the firelight, Jin Yuji's face turned red. She felt very embarrassed. After all, this pill was one of the conditions for the exchange between her and He Zhaojun, and she didn't give it to him on her own initiative. Fortunately, He Zhaojun didn't seem to care about it.
As expected, He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan looked at Jin Yuji with a half-smile on their faces. "I heard that His Majesty is going to marry you to Zikun? Are you willing?"
He Yong stared blankly for a long time before he understood the relationship between these juniors. He had been away from home for some time and did not know Long Feibai, let alone that Jin Yuji, who had been competing with his daughter for a husband, was now going to marry Zikun.
"You kids' affairs are so complicated! I don't understand!" It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but as soon as he spoke, He Zhaojun pretended to hit him. He Zhaojun was so angry that she grabbed his beard and wanted to pull out two strands to vent her anger.
"Father! I haven't asked you and fifth brother what you were doing? Hu Yanju clearly said...that you were...done by him. Do you know how sad I am?" He Zhaojun was about to cry again.
He Yong frantically tried to comfort He Zhaojun, his rough hands wiping away her tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears fell. "My dear Zhaojun, my father was indeed injured by Hu Yanju, but he was lucky. Thanks to you letting me take those two white eagles with me, they brought me herbs, which I applied to the wounds and stopped the bleeding. I was lucky enough to survive. Soon after, I met up with some of my old men and found an oasis in the desert, which is how I managed to survive."
Huo Buyi was also a little puzzled: "If that's the case, why didn't you send someone back earlier to report so that I could go and meet the old general?"
"The sand dunes are ever-changing, and it's almost impossible to find a way out. Two scouts died, and we still can't find a way out. How can I dare to take the risk with a large army?" He Yong said with lingering fear.
Everyone fell silent. He Yong was seriously injured by Hu Yanju and was almost dead. He then walked into the depths of the desert. It was a miracle that He Yong could still stand here alive and well.
He Jiang was still lying on the couch beside him, not waking up. He Yong sensed the gloomy atmosphere and quickly joked, "Luckily, yesterday morning, the temperature suddenly dropped and the wind direction changed, blowing away the sand dunes. I decided to give it a try."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This was truly a favorable wind. It not only resolved the crisis at Yumen Pass, but also saved General He. "Father, do you have a guide? How did you get out of the desert?"
He Yong grinned and said, "Yes, it was the wild horses that brought me back alive."
