Yun Miao reacted: "Just the two of us?"
"There are too many people, and I'm afraid it will cause a commotion. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on in the city, so I want to investigate." Mulansheng explained.
Yun Miao also agreed with this idea: "There are so many refugees and no one to control them. If the city lord has abandoned the city, why is the city sealed off so tightly? It's really suspicious."
"I will protect you." Mulansheng said solemnly: "Although this method is the worst option, the plague requires you to confirm the situation."
Yun Miao rolled her eyes. "What? Taking me with you is the worst option?"
"I don't want you to take any possible risks." Mulansheng sighed.
"I'm not a delicate lady, nor am I here to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Don't be so pretentious and don't be afraid that I will get hurt. Now that the arrow has been shot, I have nothing to fear even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead." Yun Miao looked towards the direction of the city not far away, and sporadic flickering lights danced in the night.
Everyone set up camp.
Qin Xuan, Ye Feng and Lin Feng are responsible for maintaining the team's patrol, guarding and sentry work.
The bonfires were already lit, and the nights were bitterly cold for this month of the year.
Especially near the Liao border, the temperature drops even more.
Qiu Hanqing arranged for the medical team to check whether the vehicles carrying medicinal materials were missing or damaged.
Chang Fang and Bai Shao were checking Yun Miao's carriage for some daily necessities. Bai Shao pulled out a coat and said, "Master, you haven't put on more clothes yet. The north wind in Yancheng carries the damp and cold wind from the Liao border. It's easy to catch a cold."
Ah Hei and Ah Qing had also changed into slightly thicker clothes and said, "I originally thought that such a long journey and the changes in climate would at least cause some physical discomfort. Who knew that now we don't feel any discomfort at all? The Gu Yuan Dan that the owner gave us is truly miraculous."
"They say it's for boosting immunity. The gym owner prepared a lot, and each member of our team got two or three. Look, everyone's saying they're not feeling as uncomfortable this time around!"
At this time, Yun Miao and Mu Lansheng had already returned.
Looking at the people busy at the bonfire, they were all having fun under the warm firelight. In this foreign land far away from home, there was a bit more warmth and comfort.
Walking side by side, the two men had a certain air of close friends under the moonlight. Yun Miao, though a head shorter than Mulansheng, possessed a powerful aura no less impressive. When she was silent, her presence accentuated her calm and composed demeanor.
As Bai Shao approached Yun Miao with the cloak, she noticed a white fox cloak already draped over her shoulders. She stole a glance at Mu Lansheng, and seeing that his coat was gone, she smiled and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Third Prince, for taking care of the Master. It's a cool, windy night, and Bai Shao is here to give him a cloak."
After saying this, he stuffed the cloak in his hand into Yun Miao's hand and immediately left as if escaping.
At that speed, it seemed that any further disturbance would be considered ignorant on her part.
Yun Miao: "..." Those around her who knew that she was dressed as a woman seemed to be watching her and Mulansheng tacitly.
Yun Miao looked at the cloak in her hand, then calmly took off her coat and returned it to Mulan Sheng, raising an eyebrow: "Thank you for your care, Your Highness."
"It's just a matter of duty, don't bother with it." Mulansheng took the coat. At the same time, Ye Feng had just finished collecting firewood and was walking over here. His eyes swept across the coat that Yun Miao had just taken off and the doting smile of his own prince. He suppressed his surprise and doubts and walked over and said, "Prince, the tent has been set up..."
Mulansheng, however, turned a deaf ear to her words. He watched Yun Miao put on her cloak and then tied the cloak's strap for her. In front of Ye Feng's shocked expression, he approached Yun Miao and said, "Do you mind having a gay romance with me in the military camp?"
"Get lost!" Yun Miao pushed him away and said, "Your Highness, I am not gay."
Ye Feng: “!!!”
Mulansheng looked at the woman's deliberate and bad behavior, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Nonsense, that's not what you said that night."
The night wind was messy.
Is he digging some shocking news now?
When did the prince become inspired to like men?
Little did he know that those two perverts were just teasing him.
That night.
Everyone almost fell asleep.
Two figures stealthily walked out of their respective tents.
They didn't want to alarm everyone, but it was impossible for them to escape the attention of Qin Xuan who was on guard.
When Qin Xuan saw the neatly dressed Mu Lansheng and Yun Miao, he immediately walked forward in surprise and asked, "Your Highness, Divine Doctor Yun? Who are you two?"
"Guard the tent, Yun Miao and I will go into the city first to take a look." Mulansheng said.
Qin Xuan's eyes widened. "How can this be possible? We don't know what's happening in the city right now. Besides, it's late at night and if there's a riot, we'll be on the defensive. Why don't you go during the day, Your Highness?"
"What you see during the day isn't as real as what you see at night." Yun Miao looked at him calmly and said, "Tomorrow during the day, we'll send a message to tell you about the situation in the city. If the message allows you to enter the city, then you can go. If not, then you can just continue camping and wait for orders."
"Qin Xuan knows that military orders cannot be disobeyed, and the prince's words cannot be disobeyed, but..." Qin Xuan looked at the two gentlemen in front of him: "You two are very important to us. If anything happens to you, Qin Xuan will never be able to redeem himself."
"We will bring people in, don't worry." Yun Miao looked at him and said.
Qin Xuan's eyes lit up when he remembered Yun Miao's suggestion to send a message. "Can you take Qin Xuan with you?"
"I can bring people with me, but I can't bring you." Yun Miao said.
Qin Xuan asked humbly: "Why...why?"
"Because you are too normal." Yun Miao looked at him.
Qin Xuan: “…”
Finally, when he found out who Yun Miao and Mu Lansheng were planning to bring into the city, he suddenly became withdrawn.
In a corner that no one can see.
The four of them looked at the desolate scenery around them, their faces filled with distress.
Fat Tiger: "Didn't we say we were going to run away? How can we escape now that we're in Yancheng?"
Skinny Monkey: "We didn't steal the medicine, but we lost our lives. What do you think we should do?"
The stuttering dwarf: "No...why not...escape...now?"
Bald Donkey: "There is no way out once we enter Yancheng. Now is a rare opportunity that no one is guarding us."
The four men were sneaky. Even though their hands were tied with ropes, they still stood up stealthily and prepared to run into the night.
"If you run away now, you will only have two outcomes. First, you will starve to death on the road full of refugees. Second, you will freeze to death tonight." Suddenly, a woman's nonchalant voice came from behind.
The four of them crouched down and shuddered as if struck by lightning, then turned around and looked towards the tent.
Under the night sky, two figures were leaning against the tent, looking at them with smiles.
Fat Tiger, Skinny Monkey, Shorty, and Bald Donkey: "!!!"
It’s those two perverts!
Half an hour later.
The six people have arrived at the gate of Yancheng.
