“We can’t keep waiting like this. If we delay any longer, Su Mu’s men will probably realize they’ve been tricked sooner or later. Once they realize it, they should find this place very quickly. So, let’s go to Black Wind Stronghold tonight and see if Deputy General Liu is there. What do you think?” Jiang Wanwan asked.
"It might be difficult to investigate Black Wind Stronghold tonight, as we don't know its exact location. I've already asked many people in the city today, and none of them know its exact location."
"Here's what we'll do. After those bandits come to the city, loot everything, and return to their stronghold, I'll follow them alone. Once we find their hideout, I'll go with you to Black Wind Stronghold."
“No need for that. On my way back to the city today, I almost ran into some bandits. I quickly hid in the bushes and followed them after they left. Now I roughly know the location of Black Wind Stronghold.” Jiang Wanwan blinked and smiled like a little fox.
Qi Zhao stared at the playful and lively Jiang Wanwan for a moment, lost in thought.
"Hey, what are you daydreaming about? Did you even hear what I said?" Jiang Wanwan gently nudged Qi Zhao and said with displeasure.
"Huh? What did you just say?" Qi Zhao suddenly came to his senses and said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Jiang Wanwan looked at him with puzzlement and asked with concern, "You look so absent-minded, are you running a fever?"
As she spoke, her icy little hand reached out to Qi Zhao's forehead.
A smooth little hand touched his forehead, and Qi Zhao's face flushed red. He was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. He even forgot to breathe, just letting Jiang Wanwan's little hand touch his forehead.
"Huh, you don't have a fever, everything seems normal." Jiang Wanwan frowned slightly and removed her hand. "Did your internal injury flare up again? Did you take the pills I gave you?"
He felt a little disappointed as he pulled his little hand away from his forehead.
Loss, disappointment?
Why am I feeling so disappointed?
Could it be that I have really fallen for Jiang Wanwan?
This realization gave him a huge shock.
Worried that Jiang Wanwan would notice his unusual behavior, Qi Zhao abruptly turned around, avoiding her gaze. "I...I forgot to eat! I'll eat now!"
After saying that, he rushed to the tea table and poured himself a glass of water, pretending to be calm.
When I was pouring water, my hand was a little unsteady, and the tea spilled all over the table.
Jiang Wanwan couldn't stand seeing you like this anymore. After sighing, she quickly walked to the tea table, snatched the teapot from Qi Zhao's hand, and poured him a cup of water herself.
"Judging from your appearance, your internal injuries must have flared up again. Take your medicine quickly."
He took out a medicine bottle, poured a few black pills into Qi Zhao's palm, and watched him swallow them.
Jiang Wanwan also sat down in the chair, resting her chin on her hands. "Are you feeling any better after taking the medicine?"
Qi Zhao lowered her eyes and said softly, "Yes, much better."
His face is still a little hot.
"That's good." Jiang Wanwan nodded, completely unaware of Qi Zhao's unusual behavior.
"By the way, what did you say just now?" Qi Zhao couldn't stand Jiang Wanwan's staring gaze any longer, so he tried to distract her.
"Oh, as I just said, we should hurry out of the city before the bandits arrive. While the bandits are looting the county town, Black Wind Stronghold will be vulnerable. We can use this time to sneak into Black Wind Stronghold and find Deputy General Liu."
However, given your current condition, you probably can't go.
