There's a strong smell of her specially made wound medicine around here. Lu Baichuan is seriously injured and should be nearby.
But the place was dilapidated, and there were beggars lying in the alleys. She really didn't know where Lu Baichuan was.
At this moment, Lu Baichuan, having been caught in the rain and with his back wound still untreated, was running a high fever and was feeling dizzy. He was completely unaware that his wife was less than a hundred meters away from him.
He woke up once around noon. At that time, he wanted to move, but he found that there were many people looking for him outside. They were all different kinds of people, and he couldn't tell whether they were friends or foes. So he had no choice but to continue hiding here.
The sun was shining brightly today, and the hay that had been soaked by the rain last night had dried out again. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day, and suddenly he really missed the half-chicken that Prince Chen had wrapped for him last night.
He licked his lips, his mind hazy. He thought he would doze off a little longer and leave when the night got deeper. There were almost no of his own people in the east of the city, so he still needed to head towards the west and south of the city.
Suddenly, a series of light footsteps approached from afar; there were human footsteps and horse footsteps.
His previously muddled consciousness instantly cleared up. It seemed that there was only one other person, but he didn't know whether they were friend or foe.
He had a fever all day and felt weak in his limbs, but he still had the medicine his wife had given him, so he wasn't afraid if anyone came.
At this moment, he thought of his wife again. Ah, it's so good to have a wife, otherwise he would really have been killed by Lin Yiping this time.
As the scent grew stronger, He Jiuniang stopped at the alley entrance, leaving her horse there while she walked inside alone, her heart pounding faster and faster.
She wasn't sure if Lu Baichuan was still breathing. If he was, she was sure she could save him, but what if he wasn't?
"Lu Baichuan, come out here. I know you're here."
She looked around, but there was almost nowhere to hide except for that pile of hay.
Will he be in this hay?
The thought in her mind grew stronger and stronger, and she walked over quickly.
Lu Baichuan froze when he heard her voice, thinking he was hallucinating.
His wife is far away in Jingzhou, how did she end up here?
It might be Lin Yiping's trick, but his wife's voice was so familiar.
As the footsteps drew closer, Lu Baichuan opened the medicine bottle in his hand. Then, the straw covering his body was lifted up, and because he was sick, his action of applying the medicine was a step slow, and He Jiuniang grabbed him.
"young married woman?"
He could hardly believe his eyes; the person in front of him was truly the one he had been longing for!
"It's me."
Seeing that he was alright, He Jiuniang suppressed the bitterness and excitement in her heart and remained calm on the surface.
Lu Baichuan still felt it was unreal and pulled the person into his arms.
He had a strong smell of blood on him, and Lin Yiping's men hadn't been able to find him for a day and a night, all thanks to her wound medicine which masked the smell; you could only smell it when you got close.
He Jiuniang could no longer hold back the bitterness in her heart, and her eyes gradually reddened as she complained, "How could you be so careless?"
"I was too hasty, I'm sorry..."
Smelling the unique fragrance of his wife in his arms, he finally realized that the person in front of him was indeed his wife. The intense tension he had been feeling since last night instantly relaxed. He could no longer hold on due to his high fever, and after saying sorry, he completely fainted.
He Jiuniang sighed. Seeing him like this, she knew he had had a very difficult day and night.
She helped him up, called for the horse to come in, and helped Lu Baichuan onto the horse.
Knowing that Lu Baichuan was still in danger, she covered her face with a mask for safety reasons.
Sure enough, she hadn't gone far when she was surrounded by a group of soldiers in armor.
"Leave the person on horseback behind, and we might spare your life!"
Lu Baichuan was wearing an iron mask, making him easily recognizable.
They searched the city for a whole day and night without any results, but unexpectedly, they were saved by this woman.
He Jiuniang was just worried about not being able to find them to take revenge when they unexpectedly came up to her and said with a smile, "What, were you the ones who hurt him?"
"So what if it is? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
The other party didn't think a woman could pose any threat to them, and their face was full of contempt.
He Jiuniang didn't say anything, but picked up the horsewhip and lashed it at the man. The horsewhip seemed to have eyes, accurately locking the man's neck and pulling him towards He Jiuniang.
This sudden move stunned the man. He never expected a woman to be so powerful. He regretted underestimating her, but it was too late for regrets.
He Jiuniang pulled the man over and kicked him on the head. The man was so dizzy and weak that he immediately knelt down at He Jiuniang's feet.
When the others saw that their leader had knelt down so easily, they were about to draw their long swords and slash at He Jiuniang.
He Jiuniang remained calm and composed. She placed one hand on the head of the man kneeling in front of her and easily snapped his neck. Then she threw the body towards the people who were surrounding her.
"Is this all your team leader is capable of? Nothing special!"
As He Jiuniang spoke, she beckoned to them with her finger: "Those who are going to come, hurry up, don't delay your aunt from saving people."
Those people looked at each other, and then, without prior arrangement, they all drew their long swords and slashed at He Jiuniang.
He Jiuniang turned to the horse and said, "Move back a little."
The horse actually understood her words and obediently stepped back.
Those people didn't even have time to be surprised; they were determined to snatch the man tonight so that their master could have leverage over Prince Chen.
These people posed no threat to He Jiuniang. With a wave of her hand, a powerful force sent those who rushed at her flying.
Most importantly, she did not show any mercy as she had at the clinic last time. After landing, they all coughed up blood. Many of them could not withstand such force, their internal organs were shattered, and they died instantly.
These people nearly killed Lu Baichuan; they all deserve to die.
However, if she weren't so busy right now, she wouldn't have let them die so easily.
He Jiuniang beckoned to the horse, and the horse obediently came over and offered the reins around its neck, allowing He Jiuniang to hold it in her hand.
As for the remaining few people, she said coldly, "Go back and tell your master that the man who hurt my man is doomed for the rest of his life."
After saying that, he led his horse away, trotting along.
She knew where the mansion in the capital was because she communicated with Lu Baichuan, but she didn't know the exact location and had to find it.
However, He Jiuniang felt that it wouldn't be long before someone came to guide her.
The fighting in the east of the city alarmed many people, especially the few who were still alive. They rushed back to report in a panic, and inevitably were seen by Prince Chen's men along the way. So they hurriedly rushed over here, and sure enough, they encountered He Jiu Niang on the way.
