Chapter 14: Martial Arts in the World



Zhao Hao's cold had not yet healed, and he felt a little tired after chatting with Chen Huaixiu for a long time. He was forced by head nurse Wang Tiedan to take medicine, and then he fell asleep in a daze.

Chen Huaixiu sat beside the bed, watching over him quietly. Xiao Teng had Hu Niu to take care of him, so there was no need for Gang Leader Chen to be by his side all the time.

Unexpectedly, after a short while of silence, hurried footsteps were heard in the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, a tall tornado girl rushed in.

Naturally, it is the super cute and sporty girl, Li Mingyue, the Princess of Lanling County.

She and Jiang Xueying arrived in Kunshan on the same boat. Before they entered the county government office, they learned from the doorman Yu Men that Zhao Hao was ill and was admitted to Jiangnan Hospital.

This made Li Mingyue feel very guilty. She thought she had lied and the retribution came to Brother Zhao.

Princess Lanling no longer cared about pretending to be a lady. She snatched the reins from the guard and swiftly jumped onto the horse.

Jiang Xueying was stunned. She only felt a strong wind blowing in front of her, and the young county lady had already ridden away on her horse.

Looking at the dust rising from the street corner, Jiang Xueying twitched her lips. She couldn't ride a horse, so she couldn't catch up.

Xiao Zhuzi originally wanted to find a horse to follow, but then he thought that Li Mingyue finally had the chance to meet Master Zhao alone.

It’s better not to get in the way.

"Sister, wait for me. Do you know where the hospital is?" Li Chengen was not aware of this and quickly rode the imperial yellow horse to catch up.

The poor imperial horse had been exhausted from the long journey by boat and ship, and now he had to run away as soon as his four hooves touched the ground...

Oh, I forgot I have a sister complex.

~~

Li Chengen underestimated his sister. Li Mingyue rode on horseback to ask for directions and arrived at Jiangnan Hospital in just a cup of tea.

It was even easier when she got to the hospital. She knew all of Zhao Hao's guards, so she arrived at Zhao Hao's ward without any effort.

"Brother Zhao!" Seeing Zhao Hao lying motionless on the bed with his elder sister beside him crying, Li Mingyue felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She threw herself on the bed and burst into tears.

"Wake up, Brother Zhao, look at me..."

The young widow was so frightened that she almost subconsciously kicked her away. Fortunately, she heard the voice of "Brother Zhao" and she was able to stop.

"Oh..." Zhao Hao was pressed firmly on the belly by Li Mingyue. He immediately arched his body like a shrimp and opened his eyes with a scream.

"You want to die..." Mr. Zhao, who was in a bad mood when he woke up, was about to lose his temper, but when he saw the crying girl, he was stunned and said:

"Mingyue? Did I dream about you again?"

When Li Mingyue heard this, her heart melted immediately. She felt that all the hardships and grievances along the way were worth it.

"Wow, Brother Zhao, you are not dreaming, I, I am here to see you..." She hugged Zhao Hao and cried with joy.

"Ah?" Zhao Hao was stunned at first, then he woke up completely. He stretched his neck to look at Li Mingyue and said happily: "It turns out that I am not dreaming. Mingyue, why are you here? I thought I would go to Beijing to see you after the New Year!"

"My mother came to the south for the winter, so I followed her. I couldn't find you in Nanjing, so I made an excuse to take my brother to Jiangnan Hospital for treatment and came to Kunshan..." Li Mingyue said, lowering her head in self-blame: "Wow, Brother Zhao, why are you so sick? It's not my curse, right?"

"I'm fine," Zhao Hao forced a smile.

"Brother, you don't have to comfort me. Look at your face, it's so pale and your forehead is covered with sweat." Li Mingyue said with concern.

"I... that was because of you." Zhao Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "My intestines are almost broken."

"Oh!" Li Mingyue quickly jumped up and wanted to rub his belly, but he was covered with a quilt and she didn't know what to do.

"It's okay, it's okay," Zhao Hao hurriedly comforted her, "It will be fine after a while."

"Are you really okay?" Li Mingyue asked nervously.

"It's really nothing." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly, then introduced Chen Huaixiu to her, "Sister Huaixiu is the leader of the Sand Boat Gang, and she is my adopted sister in Jiangnan."

Seeing that Chen Huaixiu was dressed like a widow, Li Mingyue naturally did not think too much about it. She bowed to her obediently and followed Zhao Hao in calling her sister.

Zhao Hao introduced her to Chen Huaixiu: "This is my godmother's daughter, Li Mingyue, the Princess of Lanling County."

Chen Huaixiu covered her mouth in shock and hurriedly greeted Li Mingyue. She had never expected that this naive and somewhat reckless girl was actually a noble county lady.

Jiangnan is different from Beijing, where royal relatives are everywhere. There are no fiefdoms of vassal kings, and royal relatives are not often seen.

At this time, Ma Xianglan and Qiaoqiao were also alarmed and came over to check what was going on.

Upon seeing the Princess of Lanling County, the two girls were extremely surprised and hurried forward to greet her.

"Great, we meet again." Li Mingyue happily held the two of them, as happy as a child.

That kind of intimacy was completely different from meeting Jiang Xueying.

Ma Xianglan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She saw clearly the interaction between the young county lady and the young master just now. It was obvious that the two had not become strangers due to being separated for half a year. Instead, their relationship had become closer.

It seems that I worried for nothing. It won't be easy for Miss Jiang to win this game.

Chen Huaixiu was also secretly worried for President Jiang. Not to mention the noble status of the Princess of Lanling County, just the feeling she gave her at this moment seemed like a formidable opponent that the President would find difficult to defeat.

~~

By the time Jiang Xueying and Xiao Zhuzi arrived at the hospital, Chen Huaixiu had already passed away.

Li Chengen was not in the ward either. He had just said hello to Zhao Hao when he was chased away by his sister to go play with Xiwa.

Ma Xianglan and Qiaoqiao were tactful enough to give the county lady some time alone with the young master, and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

So when the two of them hurriedly came to the door of the ward, they saw the young county lady lying on the head of Zhao Hao's bed, their heads touching, concentrating on looking at a cylinder that looked like a monocular telescope.

That was the latest cylindrical animation mirror developed by Xu Yuanchun and Xu Weizhi. It was more portable than the previous strange disk, and the picture was clearer and more vivid. The twelve illustrations in the mirror tube were reflected by the prism onto the mirror. When the cylinder was rotated manually, the picture people saw moved.

According to Zhao Hao's instructions, the pattern in the cylinder was exactly the picture of Li Mingyue skiing. He had originally planned to send it to the capital as a New Year's gift. Now he didn't have to send it to the capital, it was just a meeting gift.

It was the first time that the young lady saw an animation effect, and it was an animation of herself skiing, so she naturally laughed happily. She whispered to Zhao Hao in his ear, which made Zhao Hao laugh uncontrollably.

Seeing the harmonious scene between the two, Xiao Zhuzi stopped. Just as he was about to speak to Jiang Xueying, he heard her say softly, "Brother and Mingyue haven't seen each other for a long time. Let them have a good chat first."

Zhang Xiaojing was stunned. She didn't expect Miss Jiang to be so tactful.

"That's right, let's not disturb them." She nodded and smiled.

Jiang Xueying nodded. She was not such a tasteless girl.

After taking a deep look at the two people in the room, Jiang Xueying and Zhang Xiaojing quietly left the ward.

Li Mingyue, you took the lead this time.

Who told me that I can’t ride a horse…

ps. I spent a lot of time today to set the main time nodes for the follow-up of this book. I had no choice but to look up a lot of information. As expected, my eyes were not good before 10 o'clock in the evening. Two updates first, and I will make up for it tomorrow.
