Chapter 486: Xuetuan is very smart and sneaks in to save Xiao Jinyan

Xuetuan ran over, raised his head to look at the figure not far away, stretched out his claws to grab the hem of the man's clothes, but before he touched the corner of the clothes, he was kicked by the guard. Fortunately, Xuetuan dodged quickly.

"Where did this wild cat come from?" The guard drew his sword, scaring Xuetuan so much that he took a few steps back and hid behind a pillar.

Several guards supported a man in white clothes. The man had a gauze covering his eyes and walked very carefully. He probably couldn't see the road.

After helping the man onto the carriage, the coachman drove away.

Xuetuan was stunned for a moment, then came out from behind the pillar and ran after him on all fours.

Shen Chuwei came out of the tavern and saw Xuetuan running forward recklessly. She took a few steps forward and called out to it.

"Snowball?"

Xuetuan, who had not run a few steps, heard Shen Chuwei calling him. He stopped running, turned his head to look at Shen Chuwei, then glanced at the carriage that had already run far away. He had no choice but to turn around and run back.

Shen Chuwei squatted down, picked up Xuetuan, and touched its head. "You've just gone out for a long trip, and you've become wild?"

Xuetuan felt aggrieved and said, "Meow."

After shouting, he looked back at the carriage that had gone far away.

Shen Chuwei followed Xuetuan's gaze and looked over there in confusion. In front of him, he saw people coming and going and in his ears the cries of vendors.

Qin Xiao ran out and saw Shen Chuwei holding Xuetuan. He asked in a low voice, "Master, what's wrong?"

Shen Chuwei retracted his gaze, "Nothing happened."

Qin Xiao asked: "Master, where should we look for it next?"

Shen Chuwei pondered for a moment and said, "You should first learn about the Xing Miao people. Once you have a clear understanding, we can go over and take a look tomorrow."

"As you command." Qin Xiao took the order and went with two guards to investigate the Xing Miao people.

Shen Chuwei was wandering around the street casually holding a snowball.

The guards behind him followed closely.

Shen Chuwei actually likes shopping the most because she can find a lot of delicious food and food she has never eaten before.

But the most important thing right now is to find Sammul Hsiao. We can enjoy the delicious food later.

Xuetuan kept his furry head raised, and his beautiful blue eyes kept looking around.

Shen Chuwei also found that Xuetuan was a little strange today. Usually, he would curl up in his arms and was too lazy to even raise his head, but today, he not only raised his head, but also kept raising his head, as if he had discovered something interesting.

But after a round of searching without any gain, Shen Chuwei went home with Xuetuan in her arms.

When we returned to the tent, it was already dark and past dinner time.

Shen Chuwei was not used to the food in the military camp, so she made tomato egg soup, braised eggplant, and stir-fried bacon with green peppers.

By the way, I steamed a fish for Xuetuan.

As soon as the meal was ready, Xiao Jinyu ran in excitedly.

"Sister-in-law, is there any news about the prince?"

Shen Chuwei placed two steaming dishes and a soup on the square table and shook her head at Xiao Jinyu, "Not yet. I'll continue looking tomorrow."

Then he took the tongs, picked up the steamed fish in the pot and put it aside to cool.

Xiao Jinyu saw that the two dishes and one soup on the table were all his favorites, and he couldn't help but feel a little greedy, "Sister-in-law, did you cook the meal yourself?"

"Of course, I'm not used to the food in the military barracks." Shen Chuwei said as he took the bowl and filled it with rice.

Xiao Jinyu has been spoiled since childhood, so naturally he is not used to the food in the military camp. He licked his lips and said, "Sister-in-law, please serve me a bowl of rice too."

Shen Chuwei was a little surprised, "You haven't had dinner yet?"

Xiao Jinyu was a little embarrassed, "The food in the military camp is not as delicious as what my sister-in-law cooks."

Shen Chuwei thought that everyone had already had dinner at this time, but unexpectedly, Xiao Jinyu had not eaten yet... maybe he was not full.

She served the rice and placed it in front of Xiao Jinyu, then turned around and got another bowl.

Xiao Jinyu couldn't wait to pick up the braised eggplant with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, and took a bite of rice at the same time, eating it with great relish.

Shen Chuwei ate more happily than Xiao Jinyu. After running all day, she was hungry and tired.

Normally she just lay down, drank tea, and ate some snacks. Even so, she could still finish four bowls of rice at mealtime.

This was Xiao Jinyu's first time on the battlefield today. It was a pity that the Crown Prince was not there, otherwise he could have shared his feelings at that time with the Crown Prince.

When he raised his head to pick up some food, he saw Shen Chuwei and wanted to share it with her.

"Sister-in-law, this is my first time on the battlefield."

Shen Chuwei took a moment to ask, "How do you feel?"

After asking, he lowered his head and continued eating, looking at the braised eggplant in front of him. He planned to make minced meat and eggplant, and steamed pork with rice flour tomorrow.

Only after eating a full meal can I have the energy to look for Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyu swallowed the food in his mouth and said excitedly: "I was very nervous when I saw such a large battle at first, but when I rushed over, I felt like hot water was boiling, and it seemed like I had endless energy."

Shen Chuwei puffed his cheeks and said, "I understand. It's just like the first time I ate at the royal banquet. One mouth felt not enough. I wished I had an extra pair of hands and another mouth."

Xiao Jinyu nodded vigorously in agreement as if he had found a soulmate, "Yes, that's exactly how I felt. At the time, I wished I had an extra pair of hands and a mouth so I could kill half as many enemies and shout with more power."

“It’s so troublesome to finish each dish one by one. I wish I could finish them all at once.” Shen Chuwei said as she took a big bite of the food.

Xiao Jinyu nodded vigorously again in agreement, "That's it. Seeing the enemies rushing towards me one after another, I wished that the sword in my hand was a 40-meter-long sword so that I could kill them with one move."

One was talking about eating, the other was talking about fighting, these were two completely unrelated things, yet they were still discussing them heatedly.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Jinyu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

There are special soldiers to clean up the pots, bowls, pans, and utensils.

Shen Chuwei also picked up the teacup and took a sip of the dish to help him get rid of the greasiness.

Xiao Jinyu drank a few sips of tea and suddenly said, "I must defeat Xueyue Kingdom and Fengqi Kingdom before the Crown Prince returns."

Shen Chuwei paused while drinking tea, raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyu. He was still wearing the Qilin armor and holding a teacup in his hand. His phoenix eyes were faintly visible under the light.

At that moment, she felt like she saw Xiao Jinyan.

They are indeed brothers from the same mother, they look so alike.

"I believe you can do it."

With Shen Chuwei's encouragement, Xiao Jinyu became more confident that he would not let down his brother the Crown Prince, nor his father and mother.

When Qin Xiao came back, Xiao Jinyu had already returned to his tent to rest.

"Master, the people who came to Jisai Town today are the lowest-level civilians of the Xing Miao tribe. They live on the other side of the mountain. The Xing Miao tribe is divided into three levels: royal family, noble family, and common people. If a noble person is a powerful snake master, his level will surpass that of the nobles. Snake masters are also divided into four levels, namely, heaven, earth, black and yellow... The royal family is the current patriarch, who is about fifty years old and has three sons and one daughter..."

Qin Xiao briefly introduced the system and hierarchy of the Xing Miao ethnic group.

Shen Chuwei asked: "Are the Hsing Miao people's insects very powerful?"

Qin Xiao said: "It is indeed very powerful. I have heard that there are at least a hundred species of insects, and they are more powerful than poison."

Although Shen Chuwei has heard about insects in modern times, the stories were not so exaggerated. Maybe they have been lost over the years?

"Give me an example."

"For example, the heart-eating insects, which enter the internal organs and gnaw at the heart bit by bit, causing unbearable pain and death from torture. Another example is the mind-controlling insect, which can control a person's thoughts like a walking corpse." Qin Xiao said.

Shen Chuwei took a breath of cool air. Oh my god, is it so horrible?

No matter how skilled she is as a doctor, she cannot cure the dragon.

Shen Chuwei asked again: "Is there a solution?"

Qin Xiao nodded, "Yes, that is Jie Gu."

"..." Shen Chuwei: "Does it make any difference whether you say it or not? It's like the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. No one else can do anything about it."

Qin Xiao lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, thinking that what Shen Chuwei said made sense, "So the Xing Miao people generally don't dare to offend easily. Of course, if they attack by force, it's also possible."

Shen Chuwei said: "I don't want to attack the Xing Miao tribe. I just want to go to their territory and see if I can find any information about Xiao Jinyan."

Qin Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then I'll take some people over to check it out overnight."

Shen Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you tired of living? Are you looking for death?"

Qin Xiao lowered his head and said, "I was reckless."

Shen Chuwei said, "You go back and rest first. We will go to Gise Town tomorrow morning."

"As you command." Qin Xiao took the order and left.

Shen Chuwei yawned, washed up and went to bed.

The next day, Shen Chuwei appeared in the town of Gise again with Xuetuan in her arms. This time, she only brought Qin Xiao with her, as too many people would attract attention and make it inconvenient to get things done.

There were obviously fewer people on the street than yesterday, especially those wearing Hing Miao costumes.

Shen Chuwei held Xuetuan and asked, "Qin Xiao, is there a shortcut to the other side of the mountain?"

Qin Xiao paused when he heard this and said, "I'll go and ask."

Shen Chu nodded slightly, "Hurry up and ask how to get to Xing Miao Town."

After Qin Xiao took the order and left, Shen Chuwei continued to walk forward. After a while, she saw a lot of people gathered not far away, so she walked over curiously.

"This disease is too strange. I have never heard of it before. I never thought that it would cost 10,000 gold."

"Ten thousand gold coins. I've never seen such a large amount of money in my life. It's a pity that I'm not a doctor, otherwise I would have tried it anyway."

"Doctor Qian, why don't you give it a try? Ten thousand gold coins, and it will be yours if you cure me." One of the tall men turned his head and looked at the sixty-year-old man next to him.

The old man was somewhat tempted, "Then I'll give it a try?"

When Shen Chuwei heard that she needed to be treated, she hurried inside. After squeezing for a long time, she finally squeezed in through a group of tall men.

A bulletin board surrounded by people.

It says on it that it can cure the disease, and a reward of 10,000 gold will be given after the disease is cured.

Shen Chuwei had just finished reading the notice when she saw an old man stepping forward to take down the list. She thought about it and also stepped forward to take down the list.

The old man and Shen Chuwei each held one side of the notice.

The old man saw that the person who was competing with him for the bounty was a teenager. He sneered: "What are you doing here, little brat?"

Shen Chuwei was still wearing men's clothes today, and because her face looked too childish, she was mistaken for a teenager.

"Grandpa, although I am young, I know medical skills."

When the guard saw two people coming to take down the list, he asked, "Which of you two knows medicine?"

…
