The second in command led his men to build a fire in the cave, put some snow in a pot, and burned it on the fire. ..
Xiaofeng and several palace servants first heated up the dry food. After receiving Gu Xinglang's order to cook some rice porridge, they took out the rice bags, washed the rice and cooked the porridge.
The cave was chilly at first, but as the fire was lit and the water boiled in the pot, the whole cave soon became warm. The air was filled with the sweet smell of rice porridge, which gradually calmed down the frightened Jiang family members.
Yu Xiaoxiao treated the injuries of the girls and children in the Jiang family. As for the boys, they could only be treated by Tianxing, a half-baked doctor.
Yu Xiaoxiao did not check Jiang Yue Niang's injuries just because Xiao Wei took a fancy to her. In a doctor's eyes, it doesn't matter how far away the patient is, only the severity of the illness.
Tianxing applied some medicine to Jiang Zhuojun's wounds. After he drank a bowl of rice porridge reluctantly, his face gradually regained some color. Looking at Gu Xinglang standing in front of him, Jiang Zhuojun clasped his fists towards Gu Xinglang and whispered, "Thank you very much for this time."
Gu Xinglang sat next to Jiang Zhuojun, threw a few dry branches into the fire, and asked in a low voice: "What are your plans for the future?"
Jiang Zhuojun opened his mouth several times but couldn't say a word. Suddenly he was rescued. How could he know what to do now?
"The princess said that your Jiang family was wronged," said Gu Xinglang.
Jiang Zhuojun smiled and said, "It's a pity that Her Royal Highness is the Princess of Fengtian."
Gu Xinglang looked at the Jiang clan members who were sitting not far from them and said, "Can you make the decisions in your clan now?" Jiang Zhuojun was born out of wedlock. If the legitimate grandchildren of the eldest wife were still alive, Gu Xinglang believed that even if Jiang Zhuojun was a general, he would have no say in the clan.
Jiang Zhuojun also turned his head to look at his clansmen and whispered, "Grandfather, as well as my father and uncles were all executed, and no direct descendant over the age of ten was spared."
Gu Xinglang's eyelids twitched.
"What do you think I should do now?" Jiang Zhuojun asked Gu Xinglang as if he was at his wit's end.
Gu Xinglang thought for a long time and said, "Is there no one in your Suzaku Dynasty who can save the Four Emperors?"
"The fate of our Jiang family is clear here. Who dares to save the Fourth Prince?" Jiang Zhuojun said with a wry smile.
"As long as the person is not dead, there is always hope, right?" Gu Xinglang said. After saying this, Gu Xinglang felt that he was just talking without any consideration. When their whole family was thrown into prison, weren't they just waiting to die?
Jiang Zhuojun said nothing more, staring blankly at a flying rock on the wall of the cave.
Gu Xinglang continued to throw dead branches into the woodpile. Now he sat down and thought calmly. Gu Shao really didn't know what to do with the Jiang family. As the saying goes, send the Buddha to the west, but where can he send the Jiang family to?
Yu Xiaoxiao set Jiang Yuiniang's bones at this time and said, "Who set your bones before? It wasn't set properly."
Jiang Yueniang was not afraid of Princess Linglong of Fengtian, and whispered, "I took it myself, I just hope it doesn't hurt."
Xiao Wei stood silently by the side, handed a hot towel to Jiang Yuiniang, and asked Yu Xiaoxiao, "Princess, can her leg heal?"
"It's okay as long as the bones heal," Yu Xiaoxiao used two wooden boards to fix Jiang Yuiniang's broken leg.
Xiao Wei touched Xiao Bao who was hugging his legs and smiled softly, "Did you hear what our princess said? Your mother is fine."
Xiaobao looked at Yu Xiaoxiao, a little scared, and didn't dare to speak.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaobao. This child, like Xiaoliu, had a pair of oversized eyes and a big head on a small body. Yu Xiaoxiao reached out and touched Xiaobao's head, sighing. Several children in the Jiang family were in poor condition and looked like they would not last long. None of them were caused by external injuries, which left Yu Xiaoxiao with no solution.
"Princess," Xiaobao summoned up the courage to call Yu Xiaoxiao.
"Just call me sister," Yu Xiao.
"Call me aunt," Xiao Wei said immediately. The little thing called him uncle and called Yu Xiaoxiao sister. Wasn't the generation relationship messed up again?
Yu Xiaoxiao protested to Xiao Wei: "I'm not that old."
Xiao Wei said: "Xiaobao calls me uncle."
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't understand and asked, "So what?"
"Princess is Xiaobao's sister, so does that mean she has to call me uncle?" Xiao Wei asked Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao..., this is a joke, how could she possibly call Xiao Wei uncle?
Jiang Yueniang was very surprised. Wasn't Gu Wei a guard? Was it really okay for a guard to talk to the princess like this?
"Forget it, just call me aunt," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Xiaobao.
"Auntie," Xiaobao's voice this time was much louder than the previous one.
Jiang Zhuojun then asked Gu Xinglang: "How can you go to Chiyang City after you robbed Changnu City?"
The big bosses who had come over at some point were all stunned when they heard Jiang Zhuojun's words.
The eldest boss said to Gu Xinglang anxiously, "Yes, Prince Consort, aren't we here to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Suzaku?"
The former pirates also remembered that they were just here to give a birthday gift, so why did they hide in the cave? What does the life and death of the Jiang family have to do with them, the Fengtian people? This is not right, this.
Gu Xinglang was too lazy to talk to the boss and his gang. Now they finally came to their senses. When they were on the stone platform, who was it that rushed forward with a knife in hand without saying a word?
The boss asked Gu Xinglang: "Son-in-law, is this general your friend?" If they saved Gu Xinglang's friend, then this would not be considered as meddling in other people's business, and the boss felt that he would feel better.
Gu Xinglang shook his head. How many times should he say it? He and Jiang Zhuojun each served their own masters. They were opponents on the battlefield, not friends!
The boss's heart was broken. Who cares about other people's business? What should they do now?
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Yu Xiaoxiao came over at this time, chewing a steamed bun in her hand. No matter what Nanny Wang said, she would not let Yu Xiaoxiao eat the snacks from the tea stall.
When the second in command saw Yu Xiaoxiao coming over, he asked, "Princess, can we still go to Chiyang City now?"
Yu Xiaoxiao had a mouthful of steamed buns and mumbled, "Go, why not?"
The big boss pointed at Jiang Zhuojun and said, "We saved the Jiang family and Nu Xiong's barbarian slaves as well. Will the Suzaku Emperor not come after us?"
Yu Xiao: "No one knows that we did this, so what is there to be afraid of?"
Um?
The former pirates' eyes lit up. Yes, without any witnesses, who could say they did it?
Tianxing came over and said, "Our names are written on the clearance book."
"Oh my god," Yu Xiaoxiao said, feeling depressed, "I forgot about it."
