Agil summoned everyone from the princess's residence and questioned them. No one knew anything about Lu Zheng's movements, or even what had happened. Their expressions seemed genuine.
Ajir felt powerless. She had only experienced this feeling of powerlessness with Gu Xin, and Lu Zheng was the second person she had ever felt this way.
She couldn't understand why things had gone wrong after twenty years of smooth sailing, when she met these two.
Before she could think much about it, two days later, the garrison commanders from all over Yunhai reported that the enemy had attacked.
...
Lu Zheng, along with Bai Er and the others, spent several days finally shaking off the pursuit of the Yunhai soldiers and crossing the Liangjing Kingdom.
Bai Liu and Bai Shi were seriously injured, and now they were being carried by Bai Er and Bai Ba.
The four men had initially suffered only superficial injuries, but after their escape, they sustained not only external wounds but also internal injuries.
After escaping the Yunhai soldiers who remained in Liangjing Kingdom, Lu Zheng found a cave, lit a fire, and let everyone rest.
"There are two more pills left. Give them to Bai Liu and Bai Shi; they should be able to hold on for a while," Lu Zheng said after lighting the fire.
"General, it's still you..." Bai Liu was unwilling, but Lu Zheng interrupted him.
“You’ve already called me General, this is an order, eat.” Lu Zheng said in a deep voice, “Xue Er’s army must be not far away, we all have to hold on.”
Bai Er looked at Lu Zheng's waist and abdomen, where he had been injured that day when he gained the Seventh Princess's trust by saving them. During the past few days on the run, even minor injuries had turned into serious bruises.
Lu Zheng followed Bai Er's gaze and looked down, then smiled and said, "My injury is nothing serious. I stabbed myself, not her. What are you all worried about! Take a rest. I heard running water when I came in, I'll go look for it. We don't have anything to eat, so we need to drink some water."
After saying that, he stood up.
Bai Er followed, saying, "General, I'll go with you!"
Lu Zheng glanced at him but did not refuse.
The two left the cave.
Lu Zheng clutched his stomach; it was indeed a bit painful. But apart from the two remaining transparent pills, he had no other medicine. Those pills were so effective, and he couldn't bear to take them. His injury wasn't fatal.
Bai Er silently followed behind Lu Zheng, and stopped after a while: "General, this is a hemostatic herb that grows in the west. It can stop bleeding. I recognize it. I saw it with the Third Miss before."
Lu Zheng turned to look, then walked over, squatted down, picked one, took a bite, and asked, "Are you sure you saw it at Xin Xin's place?"
Bai Er nodded: "Yes, although I didn't stay with the Third Miss for long in the west, when I went to find Bai Si that day, Bai Si was handing this over to the Third Miss's maids to dry."
Lu Zheng still believed that Bai Er had the insight, so he called on Bai Er to pull weeds together and dig up more.
All five of them had numerous knife wounds.
After they finished pulling up the weeds, they took some with them, left the rest where they were, and then went to find a water source.
There was indeed a stream nearby. The two went to the water's edge and washed themselves, especially around the wound. Even though the weather was cold, they still had to clean themselves and apply medicine.
West of Liangjing Kingdom, there is more and more greenery, and there is more water source and less residential area.
Although this herb is not as effective at stopping bleeding as Gu Xin's medicine, it is much better after applying it than before.
After applying the medicine to each other, the two filled all the water bags with water and went back.
