The next second, Qi Che's face turned pale, and even his lips lost their color.
Xie Yunqi?
Damn it! Why is he here?
How could it be such a coincidence?
No! I absolutely cannot let Xie Yunqi see me.
For a moment, Qi Che was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, feeling restless and uneasy.
Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly asked, "Mr. Mo, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Che forced a smile on his face, which was uglier than crying.
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that the herbs haven't been processed yet. I'll go down first."
After Qi Che finished speaking, he lowered his head and, while no one was paying attention, he grabbed a handful of ash from the ground and smeared it on his face. After making sure that his original appearance could no longer be seen, he lowered his head and walked towards the medicine tent.
However, just when he was halfway there, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"stop!"
Qi Che suddenly froze. He turned around slowly, lowered his head, and hunched his shoulders slightly, looking like an honest traveling doctor.
"Sir, Sir, are you calling me little one?"
He tried to make his voice sound hoarse and timid.
Chen Chi narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the thin man.
Although his face was covered in dust, he was obviously much whiter than the people from the Western Regions around him, and his figure was more like that of a Central Plains person.
"Are you from Central Plains?" Chen Chi asked affirmatively.
Qi Che nodded quickly, "Yes, I am a traveling doctor nearby. Please check the injuries of His Royal Highness the Prince and his men."
"A traveling doctor?" Chen Chi raised an eyebrow, his eyes sweeping over the medicine basket he was carrying. The herbs inside were still covered in fresh soil. "He doesn't look like someone from the Western Regions."
Qi Che's heart was in his throat, but he forced a simple smile on his face.
"General, you have a good eye. My ancestors are indeed from the Central Plains, but my grandfather's generation moved to the Western Regions."
He coughed deliberately twice and said, "I'm just a herbalist, and I make a living by practicing medicine in the nearby tribes."
Shen Chi did not let down his guard, "What's your name? Why are you here?"
"My last name is Mo, and everyone calls me Mr. Mo."
Qi Che hunched his back and looked very reserved.
At this time, a soldier from the Western Regions came over to rescue him: "General Shen, Mr. Mo is indeed our doctor. His wife died of a fever last year, and now he is alone."
Shen Chi stared at him for a long time, feeling that this man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
Just as he was about to go forward to check, he suddenly heard Xie Yunqi's voice calling him from the main tent.
He then gave up, waved his hand, and signaled Qi Che to leave.
Qi Che felt as if he had been pardoned. He bowed repeatedly and retreated, but almost fell when he turned around.
It was not until he entered the medicine tent that he leaned against the tent wall and gasped for breath. The clothes on his back were already soaked with cold sweat.
It was a close call, just a little bit off.
"Xie Yunqi!"
He gritted his teeth and whispered, "How dare you chase me all the way to the Western Regions!"
When Wu Ya lifted the curtain, she happened to see Qi Che leaning against the wall in a daze.
She frowned unhappily and said coldly, "Why are you standing here slacking off? Don't you see there are wounded people waiting for dressing changes over there?"
Qi Che's clothes and the medicine basket on his body quickly made Wu Ya think that this man was also responsible for taking care of the wounded.
Qi Che snapped back to his senses and immediately put on a timid expression again, "Princess, please forgive me. I just came back from gathering herbs and I'm still a little dizzy..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Wu Ya waved her hand impatiently. "Hurry up and help. My brother hates sneaky people the most."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Qi Che nodded and walked out, quickly came to the wounded man, and started to get busy.
While bandaging the wounded, he observed Wu Ya calmly.
She was seen leaning against the edge of the tent, glancing towards the main tent from time to time, with a sweet smile on her lips. She looked so infatuated that even a fool could tell what she was thinking.
"I don't know how the conversation between General Xie and Brother Wang went..."
He heard Wu Ya muttering softly.
Qi Che paused his movements, and a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He deliberately slowed down his movements while sorting the herbs, and pricked up his ears to continue eavesdropping.
"If we can convince Brother Wang and General Xie to cooperate..."
Wu Ya held her face in her hands, unconsciously revealing an infatuated smile, "Maybe I can..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, but her shy look said it all.
When Qi Che heard this, his heart moved.
A thought flashed through his mind quickly.
Xie Yunqi wants to use Helian Shuo to deal with Amur, so can he also use Wuya to cause some trouble for Xie Yunqi?
Princess Wuya is arrogant and naive, and she is deeply in love with Xie Yunqi. She is simply a chess piece sent to him by God.
"Princess, are you very familiar with General Xie?" Qi Che asked casually, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
Wu Ya's cheeks flushed slightly as she said angrily, "What's it to you? Just do your job well."
Qi Che chuckled, revealing his yellow teeth: "I'm just curious. I didn't expect a big shot like General Xie to come to a place like this in person."
"That's natural."
Wu Ya raised her chin proudly. "General Xie came here to help my brother. He said that once we recapture the Western Regions, we will form a permanent alliance with Great Chu."
Qi Che nodded, pretending to understand something: "I see. General Xie is such a good man. But..."
"But what..."
Qi Che lowered his voice. "I heard that General Xie has a sweetheart in Great Chu, who seems to be a princess. I wonder if it's true?"
Wu Ya's face instantly darkened, and her eyes turned unfriendly: "Who told you that? Nonsense!"
