Chapter 178 Meeting
Not long after Yun Qingqing left, Nan Zheng rushed into the meeting room in a hurry.
"General Nan!"
"General Nan is back!"
Everyone went to meet him immediately, but one look at his expression showed that there was still no news of the prince.
Nan Zheng had no time to say anything else and immediately asked:
"I heard the soldiers outside the gate say that the princess has arrived? Where is she?"
Nan Zheng was responsible for coordinating the troops to find the prince. He was not there when Yun Qingqing arrived, and she had left when he came back.
After receiving affirmative responses from the generals and recounting what had just happened, Nan Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
"The princess said that the prince's life is not in danger, so she must be wrong!"
"I think once the princess finds the prince, she will send out a signal immediately. I will disperse the search team to various locations and keep an eye out for special signals so that we can provide timely support."
…
Yun Qingqing directly activated the magic talisman to leave Linye City, all the way to the highest mountain in the surrounding area, and sat cross-legged.
She closed her eyes, entered the inner scene and activated the Qimen formation.
The Nine-Star Sky Plate, the Eight-Direction Ground Plate, and the Eight-Gate Center Plate unfolded in turn. The size and complexity of the formation was far greater than the one not long ago.
Yun Qingqing knew that this was because Xiao Changheng was responsible for the country's destiny and had a very heavy fate.
Because of this, she would not easily use his fortune to tell his fortune unless it was absolutely necessary, and some ordinary methods were not applicable to him.
She quickly locked onto a position and was about to exit the interior when she was suddenly startled and looked up and around.
Outside the three plates, the extremely huge Yin-Yang Divine Plate was slowly rotating in an unshakable posture.
Yun Qingqing distributed his spiritual sense to all the array plates and observed for a while, trying to capture the source of the strange feeling from the array plates just now, but found nothing.
She stopped dwelling on it, gathered her consciousness, and opened her eyes.
Yun Qingqing stood up, locked onto the direction indicated by the hexagram, activated the magic talisman, and instantly disappeared from the top of the mountain.
The magic talisman made it easy for her to travel thousands of miles in an instant. In just a moment, she appeared in a valley more than ten miles away.
The terrain of this valley is complex, with strange rocks and towering cliffs on all sides.
Perhaps because the impenetrable cliffs blocked the cold current, this valley was not as bitterly cold as the snowy fields outside, and there was even some greenery.
There was the sound of gurgling water in the area ahead that was out of sight.
Yun Qingqing walked towards the source of the sound.
Going around the stone forest that blocks the view, a clear spring appears in front of you, gurgling down along the rugged stone steps and forming a cold, turquoise pool in the low-lying area at the far end.
She stopped.
Xiao Changheng was sitting cross-legged by the water wearing only a pair of underpants, with clothes and a set of mottled silver armor beside him.
The man's black hair was tied loosely on one side, draping over his shoulders. His sturdy upper body was covered with old scars of varying depths, glistening in the thin winter sunlight.
He was cleaning a deep arrow wound on his waist. Bright red blood slowly seeped out, making his handsome face look even paler.
Yun Qingqing frowned and walked over quickly.
Hearing the noise, Xiao Changheng raised his eyes.
The moment he saw who was coming, the vigilance on his face turned into astonishment, and he stood there in a daze.
Yun Qingqing squatted down in front of him and reached out to check the wound.
Xiao Changheng subconsciously grabbed her hand, and with his other hand hastily grasped the underwear placed aside, but he did not take the next step.
Yun Qingqing frowned and looked up, wanting to speak, but when she met his gaze that was so complicated that it was completely unreadable, she suddenly forgot what she was going to say.
When their eyes met, it seemed as if the wind had stopped.
She seemed to have a pair of eyes in her mind overlapping with the ones in front of her, but when she thought about it carefully, there was no trace.
Suddenly a small fish jumped out of the cold pond, creating a splash of water.
Xiao Changheng suddenly came back to his senses, pulled up his inner garment and put it on. His movements did not seem hurried, but his ears could not help but feel hot.
"...Why are you here?" He asked casually with a hoarse voice, his hands moving non-stop as he was about to tie the belt around his waist.
Yun Qingqing held his hand, and her usually cold voice was rarely filled with a hint of annoyance.
"If you don't want to have any sequelae, don't move!"
Xiao Changheng paused, then hesitantly let go of her hand, quietly allowing her slightly cool little hand to press on his abdomen without resisting.
Yun Qingqing carefully checked the wound and confirmed that no vital parts were injured. She breathed a sigh of relief, took out the medicine from the jade ring and applied it, then wrapped it around her waist with bandages.
"It's done." The bandage was finally completed. She let out a breath and raised her head, only to see the man looking at her without blinking.
The white air exhaled in winter condensed into tiny water droplets on the tips of his long and thick eyelashes, gleaming with tiny light in the sunlight, making his black eyes, which were much darker than those of ordinary people, even deeper.
Seeing that he didn't move, Yun Qingqing pursed her lips, took out a set of robes and cloaks from the space and handed them to him:
"The armor is uncomfortable, you should wear this."
As she said this, she was about to get up and set up the tent.
After sleeping in the open air during the last grain transport trip, she bought a lot of things to her space when she returned to Beijing. She didn't expect to use them so soon.
But before she could stand up, a shadow fell over her head.
Xiao Changheng leaned towards her, his head buried in her shoulder.
Yun Qingqing trembled all over as the hot breath blew on her neck. She reached out to push him away, but where she touched was a patch of cold, wet sweat.
She paused and called him softly twice, but there was no response.
Yun Qingqing raised her hand and stroked her forehead.
She took his hand and felt his pulse, then looked at his palm with a serious expression.
When this man used the cold pond water to wash his body, he must have used his internal strength to fight the cold, so his whole body was warm just now.
But at this moment, his forehead was burning hot, but his whole body was cold, and he was shivering from time to time.
This person has a fever.
She sighed softly, pulled out a thick blanket and wrapped him up, then got up to set up the tent.
When Yun Qingqing went to find a flat open space, she discovered a corpse on the ground.
This man was wearing the same type of armor as Chang Zongyan, and was obviously also a capable general under Xiao Changheng.
There was a long knife stuck in the corpse's heart.
She recognized this sword. It was much heavier than ordinary long swords and was Xiao Changheng's sword.
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the unconscious man before continuing to get busy.
When Xiao Changheng woke up, he found himself sleeping in a tent, covered with thick bedding, with something warm in his arms.
When I took it out, I found it was a hot water bottle.
There was the sound of a crackling campfire outside the tent.
He was a little dazed for a moment.
In my memory, she found me and bandaged me, but where is she now?
He then curled the corners of his lips in self-mockery.
I'm afraid it's burnt out.
She should be in the capital now, so how could she appear in the northwest and find me?
