Chapter 148 Get out of the way
Jin Congcong curled his lips and said, "There are jujube trees like this everywhere. How can you be sure it's this one?"
Cen Nan pointed at the jujube tree and said, "Look carefully at that tree. Does it look like a person?"
Jin Congcong looked left and right but couldn't figure it out, so he moved closer to Bu Ruo and said, "Ruo'er, have you figured it out? It's clearly just a tree, how come it looks like a person?"
Bu Ruo's eyes were slightly cold: "I don't know if it looks like a human, but I know that there is definitely no one in this barracks."
Jin Congcong was startled and touched Mo Buruo's forehead: "Ruo'er, are you blurry because you haven't rested well these days? Didn't you see the soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the barracks? How could there be no living people?"
Qian Luan's expression was also solemn. "What the princess said is correct. There really aren't many people in this barracks. Although they look like people, we can't say for sure."
Jin Congcong was confused by what they said, but Bi'er understood: "Princess and Master Qian are saying... there's something wrong with the people in this barracks?"
Bu Ruo glanced at her with appreciation: "Indeed, although these people seem to be doing their jobs, they have actually lost their souls and are now only half alive."
"If we had arrived a few days later... Beining would have won without a fight."
Jin Congcong took a step back in shock after hearing Bu Ruo's words: "Can I not go over? I'll just find an inn to stay in in the nearest town. Don't forget to pick me up when you're done."
"I don't need any extra money and I won't go out. Just enough for food and shelter is enough..."
Bu Ruo thought about it again and again but still did not agree with Jin Congcong's proposal. The main reason was that Jin Congcong was a person who acted on his impulses and he might have disappeared by the time he went to look for him.
Seeing that Bu Ruo disagreed, Jin Congcong knew that she was doing it for his own good and could only give up: "Alright, alright, you are the ancestor, whatever you say is what it is."
"So what should we do now? Should we go over there or wait and see?"
Bu Ruo narrowed her eyes and said, "Even if Xiao Yulan and Cen Nan are not inside now, we have to go and see what's going on. They are all soldiers of the Great Zhou and must be rescued."
When they arrived at the gate of the barracks, the guard recognized Cen Bei at a glance. After all, Cen Nan and Cen Bei held official positions.
"Master Cenbei, why are you here? Do you have something to ask the prince? But the prince is not in the barracks now."
Cen Bei stepped aside to let Bu Ruo out. "We are here to see the prince. This is the princess. Please take us to the prince's tent."
Although the Cui family army has been at the border all the time, the fact that the initial stage has been approved by the gods is known to the entire Great Zhou, and the Cui family army naturally knows it as well.
The Cui Family Army is led by Cui Tong, the younger brother of Cui Ji, who is currently in charge of the Bu Family Army on behalf of Bu Ruo. The difference between them and the Bu Family Army is that although they are called the Cui Family Army, the military power belongs to the emperor, while the Bu Family Army belongs to private individuals.
"Is your general here?"
The soldier leading the way had a dull look in his eyes: "General Cui is in the tent now."
Bu Ruo reached out and patted the soldier's shoulder. Qian Luan, who was standing beside him, instantly saw two beams of white light rushing into the soldier's head.
"Master Cen...Master Cen Bei? When did you come? I don't remember you at all."
The soldier looked at them and kept scratching his head: "Did I bring you here? Where are we going? Who are these people..."
Jin Congcong spoke the fastest: "It's Cen Bei, he just arrived, you take him to the big tent, fight with the princess!"
Everyone: ...
"Princess Zhan, you are Princess Zhan. We in the barracks have heard of your name for a long time and are very curious about you. Princess, you... you are so beautiful."
Bu Ruo looked at the soldier who had regained consciousness and smiled: "Okay, take us to find General Cui. Also, do you know where the prince went?"
The soldiers surrounded Bu Ruo like lackeys, but there was only curiosity in their eyes without any evil thoughts.
"The prince and Lord Cen left eight days ago and haven't returned yet. We don't know where they went, but General Cui should know. You can ask General Cui later."
As soon as Bu Ruo arrived at the door of the big tent, he heard a quarrel inside.
"General Cui, you must tell me today where the prince has gone. When he left, he told me he would be back in three days at most. Now it's been eight days. How can I not be worried?"
"That's Ruo'er's husband. If anything happens to the prince, how can I have the face to go back and see Ruo'er?"
"Also, did you listen to me when I told you there was something wrong with the soldiers in your barracks? They're half dead, yet they're still fighting. They're almost dead before they even start fighting."
After Doctor Du finished speaking, a middle-aged man's voice came: "Divine Doctor, it's not that I didn't tell you where the old prince went, I really don't know... I'm more anxious than you are. Look, my mouth is all blistered."
"As for the soldiers' matter, I did take it to heart, but...but that's not something I can handle. I can only wait for the prince to return, or...I can write a secret letter and ask the emperor to invite the Heavenly Master to come and take a look."
"Or you could just hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer..."
With a bang, Doctor Du slammed his hand on the table: "I can't hold on any longer. I treat diseases, not souls!"
"Celestial Master? You better stop thinking about it. How can the Emperor and the Celestial Master care about you right now? Don't waste your words. Their minds are all on the throne right now. As long as they don't attack the palace, they don't care about our lives."
"Humph, only my prince knew about your accident and rushed over immediately, otherwise the bodies of your Cui family army would have piled up like a mountain by now."
"I don't care. You must tell me where the prince went today, otherwise... otherwise I will write a letter to Ruo'er and ask her to come over."
"Hey? Hey, hey, hey? Yes, you can't solve the problem of these soldiers, but Ruo'er can. Lend me your paper and pen. I will write and return it as soon as I'm done."
Bu Ruo walked into the big tent: "Grandpa Du, there is no need to write anymore, Ruo'er is here."
"And me, Master, Master, and me, your beloved disciple is here too~"
Jin Congcong looked aggrieved and trotted over with his arms outstretched like a bird, but Doctor Du looked down on him and dodged away.
"Get out of the way~"
Doctor Du pushed the man away and quickly walked over to Bu Ruo, looking her up and down. "Ruo'er, why did you come here so suddenly? Did something happen in Kyoto or is there something wrong with your health? Come quickly, let Grandpa Du take your pulse."
After saying this, he took the pulse and turned to glare at someone who was standing there with his arms outstretched in amazement: "What's the use of you! You're completely useless! And you're still licking your face and letting others call you a little miracle doctor."
"Look at Ruo'er, she seems weak... but she's not weak at all. Look at her energy and blood... she seems to be in good condition... look... look..."
"Look at how dirty her little face is! Why don't you get some water for Ruo'er to wash her face?"
Jin Congcong: ...
