Jiang Bai was surprised. The county magistrate was guarding outside, so how could Zhao Yi have entered the house?
Although she was surprised, she managed to hide it quite well.
Seeing her standing quietly to the side, Deputy General Lin stopped his impatient pace and looked her over.
"So you're the young lady Brother Zhao has been longing for? Hehe, Brother Zhao has good taste! This young lady seems quite extraordinary!"
His eyes held a wary look, but it wasn't particularly offensive.
Jiang Baishang still had a good temper: "General, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary woman. I was separated from my husband before. Now, by chance, I have met him in this mansion. I am also overjoyed."
"Oh? We met in the manor? Security here is very tight now. How did you get in, young lady?"
Deputy General Lin frowned, revealing a hint of his menacing aura.
Jiang Bai looked at the closed door of the room and said, "The doctor in the room is my friend. I came in with him."
Since Zhao Yi's identity here is not simple, she no longer needs to pretend to be a maid. They won't do anything to her for the time being.
Moreover, Yuan Mo is truly skilled; he was able to save the Thunder General, so her identity is undoubtedly genuine. Deceiving him would only arouse suspicion and dissatisfaction.
Deputy General Lin nodded knowingly, then stopped talking and began to stroll around again.
About two hours later, Jiang Bai felt like he was turning into a human-shaped stone in the courtyard before Zhao Yi finally came out of the house.
He was followed by Yuan Mo and Tong Yan, and all three of them immediately focused their attention on Jiang Bai.
"Bai'er".
"noob."
"elder sister."
Three voices, each with a different emotion, all reached everyone's ears.
Jiang Bai's face darkened: "I understand."
The three men peeked at each other, especially Zhao Yi and Yuan Mo, whose eyes were quite menacing.
They were all guessing each other's identities. Jiang Bai quickly stepped forward and whispered, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go back and talk."
The two then suppressed their hostility and began to ignore each other in a nonchalant manner.
After the two, another person also came out of the house.
The man was gentle and refined, dressed in a simple and elegant blue scholar's robe.
"Young Master Zhao, since we are all friends, please take him to rest first."
He glanced at the group of people over there, his eyes expressionless, before turning his gaze to the people anxiously waiting in the courtyard.
"The general's injuries are no longer serious. He only needs to recuperate for a while longer, and he will be fully recovered."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd waiting below beamed with joy.
Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow; this General Thunder was indeed popular.
Immediately, maids took Yuan Mo and Tong Yan away to arrange their lodgings, while Jiang Bai was pulled back by Zhao Yi.
He first bid farewell to the general's subordinates before pulling Jiang Bai back to his room.
Jiang Bai looked around his room: "I think I should find someone to arrange another room. With so many people watching, it's not good for us to sleep in one room."
She was about to leave when Zhao Yi reached the door first and locked it.
"Now everyone in the manor knows you are my wife, so what's wrong with sharing a room?"
His face darkened, and he immediately stepped forward and hugged Jiang Bai: "I missed you so much."
I'm so worried about you. I'm so worried that you won't be able to get away from Li Kejun. I'm worried that you've been wronged.
Jiang Bai felt his whole body trembling slightly, and hugged him tighter: "I'm out. Since I promised you, I will naturally keep my word. Don't worry."
She gently stroked his back, tenderly and patiently.
Once he had calmed down a bit, he released Jiang Bai and told her about his experiences over the past few days.
It turned out that after meeting Amu, he discussed it with Amu and finally decided to split up into two groups.
Amu used his locksmith skills to infiltrate the Wu tribe and rescue Jiang Bai, while Zhao Yi took Amu's token to the border to seek help from soldiers and generals.
On his way to the frontier, he encountered General Thunder, who had been ambushed, and he rescued him.
With his help, General Thunder's men turned the tide of the battle, but he was also seriously injured. The group then stayed temporarily in the Flying Dragon City government office.
Thanks to the medicine Jiang Bai gave him these past few days, his wounds have healed. However, General Lei Ting's poison is not simple, so many doctors are helpless and do not know how to treat it.
“I’ve given the general all the medicine you gave me these past few days, which is why he’s been able to stay alive for so long. But my medicine is almost gone, and the army doctor still hasn’t come up with a solution, so I’ve posted a notice seeking medical help.”
As Zhao Yi recounted the life-and-death experiences of the past few days, he couldn't help but sigh.
As if remembering something, he added, "The maid you saw today was arranged for me by the government officials because of my serious injuries. I was unconscious for a long time, and she was already there when I woke up, so I couldn't send her away."
Jiang Bai nodded; she wasn't the kind of woman who couldn't distinguish right from wrong and was only prone to jealousy.
"Let me see your wound, and see if it's fully healed."
She masked her nervousness with a blank expression and reached out to tear off Zhao Yi's clothes.
Zhao Yi grasped her hand and teased, "My wife is in such a hurry. Don't worry, my injury is fully healed and won't have any impact."
After he finished speaking, he stripped off his shirt and looked at Jiang Bai with an ambiguous smile.
Jiang Bai blushed and quickly glanced at his body. There were a few new wounds on the front, but they weren't too serious.
She then moved to the back, and there was no further movement.
There was an extremely long and deep wound on his back. Although it had healed, it was not completely healed and the scab was falling off. The newly grown pink flesh inside also showed how terrible the wound was.
She reached out and gently stroked him, then hugged him from behind: "Luckily, God had eyes and didn't take you away."
Her tone betrayed a hint of resentment and anger: "Didn't you even consider the opponent's strength compared to your own? You rushed in so recklessly! What if something went wrong and you never saw me again?!"
Tears welled up in her eyes and slowly seeped onto his wound. It no longer hurt, but it was very itchy.
He felt the itch spreading from his wound into his heart, bit by bit, eroding his limbs and bones, making him somewhat lose his mind.
He pulled the person behind him into his arms and held them tightly, as if he wanted to meld them into his very bones.
“When I was unconscious, all I could think about was you. I was worried that you would suffer in that place without me. I was worried about our child and that our family would fall apart. I regretted it then. I was afraid I would die and I was afraid I would never see you again.”
His breath sprayed onto her neck, causing her to tremble all over.
"But I only regretted it for a moment before I struggled to wake up. I wanted to use my merit in saving you to get the general to agree to help me save you. The general agreed that day, but who knew that he was poisoned and his life was in danger. My request was delayed again and again, and I couldn't ask him to send troops again. I could only wait until he recovered."
Jiang Bai's hands felt weak; it turned out that he had rushed into the dangerous place for her sake.
