Early in the morning, Qin Shi woke up from his coma.
As soon as he made any movement, Liaochen, who was guarding the bed with his eyes closed, noticed it and called out softly, "Donor Qin."
"Water..." Qin Shi said in a daze.
Lekong got up and poured water for Qin Shi. After he drank the water, he finally woke up after a while.
"Liaokong?" Qin Shi pretended to get up, but the pain in his wound made him gasp.
"Don't move, Mr. Qin. Your wound is still bleeding." Lekong hurried forward to stop him.
Qin Shi slowed down and asked, "Where am I?"
"This is the residence of Magistrate Wang of Mei County. You were seriously injured that day and needed a clean and safe place, so Donor Cui brought you here." Lekong explained.
Speaking of Cui Yuan, Qin Shi remembered that he was also injured, and asked hurriedly: "How is Cui Yuan?"
"Donor Cui's injuries are not life-threatening."
Speak of the devil, Cui Yuan pushed the door open and saw Qin Shi lying on the bed with his eyes open.
“Sir!” Cui Yuan trotted over excitedly, “You’re finally awake! If you don’t wake up, I… I…”
He, a grown man, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Qin Shi looked at Cui Yuan and saw that although he looked a little pale, he was in good spirits, so he felt relieved.
"Your injury..."
"Don't worry, sir. The injuries on my body are only superficial and will heal in a few days." Cui Yuan smiled and waved his hand.
At this time, County Magistrate Wang came with the doctor and breakfast, and was very happy to see Qin Shi woke up.
If the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple lost his life in the area under his jurisdiction, his position as a county magistrate would be over.
He couldn't hide his joy and said, "Doctor, come on, take a look at Qin Shaoqing."
Hearing this, the doctor hurriedly sat down and took Qin Shi's pulse.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand, looked at the others and said, "It's no big deal if Lord Qin wakes up. Just take medicine and take good care of yourself, and you'll be fine in a few days."
"That's good, that's good." County Magistrate Wang looked at Qin Shi, "Qin Shaoqing, rest assured and recover in my house. I will do my best to protect you."
Qin Shi smiled palely and nodded to Magistrate Wang, "Thank you for your help, Magistrate Wang."
"No trouble, no trouble." Magistrate Wang waved his hand and looked at the breakfast the maid brought. "I asked someone to prepare some porridge and side dishes. Young Master Qin has woken up, so it's a good time to have some."
After the maid had placed the breakfast on the table, Magistrate Wang said tactfully, "I will not disturb Mr. Qin's rest."
"Go slowly, Magistrate Wang."
At that time, on the other side of the mansion, Princess Yuehua also learned the news that Qin Shi had woken up from her maid.
She suddenly threw the bowl of porridge in her hand and said fiercely, "He is lucky!"
"Your Highness, do you want to put it in his medicine..." the maid asked tentatively.
"Idiot!" Princess Yuehua yelled, "Do you think they won't check the imported goods after so many assassinations?"
"Useless thing, you can't accomplish anything!" Princess Yuehua couldn't help but curse again.
The maid dared not speak again.
The Princess of Wen'an County said anxiously: "Mother, Mei County is not far from the capital..."
After hearing these words, Princess Yuehua fell into deep thought.
She didn't know whether Qin Shi really didn't find anything or was pretending, nor did she know what Emperor Yuan was thinking.
But if you run away, you will be incriminating yourself.
She couldn't go into Beijing, nor could she escape. She didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
The maid Lu'e looked at the mother and daughter calmly, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips.
Three days later, Qin Shi's injuries had improved a little, and County Magistrate Wang's mansion also welcomed Emperor Yuan's Longwu Army.
Moreover, it was Xie Beixiao who brought the Longwu Army.
As early as when Qin Shi woke up, he secretly sent a message back to the capital, asking Emperor Yuan to send troops to support him.
The moment Princess Yuehua saw the Longwu Army, she knew that she could no longer act rashly and had to return to the capital.
When Xie Beixiao entered the mansion to see Qin Shi, he couldn't help but frowned when he saw that he and the others were covered in wounds.
"Who is the general?" Qin Shi didn't know Xie Beixiao and looked at him warily.
"Xie Beixiao from Longwu Army is the new commander." Xie Beixiao briefly introduced himself.
Qin Shi silently repeated the name "Xie Beixiao" in his mind and felt that the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
But before he could remember, Cui Yuan beside him said in surprise and delight: "Are you Xie Beixiao who fought General Lu to a draw? Master Xie's son!"
When Qin Shi heard Cui Yuan's words, he suddenly remembered.
Xie Beixiao was reluctant to talk about the competition with Lu Yunting that year, and responded indifferently.
"That's great! With you escorting us back, we will definitely return to the capital safely." Cui Yuan was very happy.
Xie Beixiao looked at Qin Shi and said with a serious expression: "The Longwu Army cannot stay outside the capital for too long. Qin Shaoqing, please decide whether to set off tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"We set off today."
"Sir." Cui Yuan called him disapprovingly.
Xie Beixiao also frowned and glanced at the wound on his chest, "This wound on your body..."
"It's okay." Qin Shi's eyes were firm and resolute, "I'm not going to die from the injuries on my body."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xie Beixiao did not try to persuade him. He said calmly, "We will set off at 3 p.m."
It was noon, and there was still more than an hour to go until the afternoon. The Longwu Army had hurried here and needed to rest.
Qin Shi nodded and looked at Cui Yuan, "Send someone to inform Princess Yuehua that we will leave for the capital at 5 p.m."
Cui Yuan knew that he could not change Qin Shi’s decision, so he could only go out and ask someone to inform Princess Yuehua.
Soon, more than an hour passed, and Chen Yi and the others also came here from the inn.
After Qin Shi and others bid farewell to County Magistrate Wang, they set off for the capital in a mighty manner.
Just as they were about to set off back to Beijing, the border areas also received orders from the capital.
When Lu Yunting received the order, Zhang Zhiyuan was preparing to carry out Emperor Yuan's order and punish the Cangwu army with canings.
"What happened?" Zhang Zhiyuan asked.
Lu Yunting handed him the urgent report in his hand, "General Feng has been captured. His Majesty ordered us to lead 50,000 Cangwu troops to provide support. We must rescue General Feng and capture the Eastern Turks."
"Fortunately, the urgent report arrived in time, otherwise, if the caning continued, no one would be able to fight the enemy." Zhang Zhiyuan was very grateful, "I will go to recruit soldiers now."
Lu Yunting nodded, thinking about how to rescue General Feng and deal with the Eastern Turks.
After a while, the horn sounded...
