The Return of the Demon

#1217 - A bumpy road

An hour later, Ke You brought the medicine.

"Your Highness, the herbs we brought are missing a few ingredients. I changed the prescription, but it's not as effective as the previous one, so the princess may recover more slowly."

Ning Chen frowned slightly, but there was no better way now.

"Okay, I got it. You can go down first... Third Brother, you will be responsible for delivering the medicine on time."

Ke You nodded, "Yes!"

Ning Chen fed Xiao Yanxi the medicine, his eyes full of pity.

Xiao Yanxi was a woman who followed him everywhere, in battles, and constantly provided him with intelligence... Countless victories were thanks to Xiao Yanxi's intelligence.

Of all his women, Xiao Yanxi was the hardest-working one.

This time I caught a cold, it wasn't just the cold, I'm afraid it was also related to the fatigue from the long journey.

Ning Chen stayed in the tent, taking good care of Xiao Yanxi.

By the evening, Xiao Yanxi had taken three doses of medicine today, but because she was missing a few ingredients, her condition was not much better by the evening, and she was still in a daze.

I barely drank half a bowl of porridge, and then fell asleep in a daze.

Ning Chen stayed there until the next morning.

Xiao Yanxi's fever didn't subside at all.

Ke You brought the medicine and Ning Chen fed it to Xiao Yanxi.

Xiao Yanxi has been in a coma.

Ning Chen's face was full of worry. At this moment, a tiger roar came from afar.

It seems to be unique.

Ning Chen glanced at the sleeping Xiao Yanxi, then winked at Ke You, and the two of them quietly walked out of the tent.

After coming out, Ning Chen walked out of the camp.

The whistling sound just now must have been made by Du Bu. Could it be that Du Bu has returned?

But before they had walked far, Feng Qizheng and a few others came towards them, carrying something.

Seeing Ning Chen, Feng Qi ran over quickly.

Only then did Ning Chen see that the soldiers were carrying a dead deer.

"This is?"

Feng Qizheng grinned and said, "Look at the wound on the neck of this wild deer."

Ning Chen stepped forward and took a look. There were two blood holes as thick as thumbs on the wild deer's neck, and the neck was almost pierced through.

His eyes narrowed, "This was done by... Du Bu?"

Feng Qizheng nodded and said, "The soldiers found this deer when they were on patrol. It's not far from the camp... Look at the claw marks on the deer's belly. It's obviously done by Du Bu.

Du Bu was afraid that we would be hungry, so he sent us a fresh deer."

Ning Chen looked towards the dense forest in the distance and said with a smile: "Not only that, Du Bu is telling us that it can live well in the wild, so we can rest assured."

Ke You followed and saw the deer still bleeding, and hurriedly said, "Go get a container, this deer blood is a good thing, don't waste it.

Your Majesty, deer blood is hot and can dispel cold and replenish Qi, which is very beneficial to the princess's condition."

Upon hearing that it would be good for Xiao Yanxi's illness, Ning Chen immediately asked someone to get a container to collect the deer blood.

Ke You smiled and said, "Your Highness, with this deer blood, the princess's illness will surely be cured as soon as possible... and this deer meat can be boiled with the porridge to make meat porridge for the princess to take, and the princess's illness will surely be cured faster."

Ning Chen immediately ordered someone to do so.

At this moment, Feng Qi was heard shouting outside: "It's snowing, it's snowing..."

Ning Chen's expression changed slightly and he strode out of the tent.

Snow flakes fell from the sky.

It has been cloudy for several days in a row, and the snow finally fell.

But Ning Chen couldn't be happy at all.

They were still more than ten days away from Bianzhou, and it would be troublesome if the road was blocked by heavy snow.

At this time, Xiao Yanxi came out.

Ning Chen was startled, "Why did you come out? Go in quickly, it's windy outside."

Xiao Yanxi wrapped her cloak tightly around her body and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Ning Lang. How can a man of the world be so delicate?

We have to hurry on our way before the snow gets too heavy... There is no official road along this route, and if the road is blocked by heavy snow, we will be trapped in this wilderness."

Ning Chen shook his head, "No, your injury hasn't healed yet, and we don't have a carriage..."

"Who said we don't have a carriage..." Xiao Yanxi smiled and pointed to a place not far away, "Isn't that a ready-made carriage?"

Ning Chen looked in the direction she pointed and saw the vehicle that Du Bu had ridden before...the prison van.

"It's leaking on all four sides, how can it be..." Ning Chen said, suddenly paused, and smiled: "I understand, use tarpaulin to seal the prisoner car around and on top, and it will be a ready-made carriage."

Xiao Yanxi chuckled and nodded.

Ning Chen immediately asked someone to do it. They used the tarpaulin to seal the sides and top of the carriage, and covered it with thick bedding so that it could be used as a carriage temporarily.

Soon, everything was ready.

Ning Chen laid several layers of mattresses in the prison car so that Xiao Yanxi could sit more comfortably.

"How about it?"

Xiao Yanxi smiled and said, "It's fine... This time it's all thanks to Du Bu. If I hadn't brought him with me, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly and I wouldn't have had a carriage to ride in."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "That's true, all thanks to Du Bu."

However, this prison car seemed to have a connection with the tigresses. When one left, another one went in... Ning Chen secretly laughed in his heart.

He couldn't say that. If he did, he would be dead.

The cold wind was howling and the snowflakes were fluttering.

Ning Chen ordered to hurry up.

Once heavy snow blocks the mountains, they may be trapped and die in the wilderness.

Fortunately, the snow was not heavy. It fell heavily until the afternoon and only wet the ground.

Unfortunately, by the evening, the cold became unbearable and we had to stop to rest.

Ning Chen asked the soldiers to chop trees and make a fire to keep warm.

In the tent, Pan Yucheng brought meat porridge.

Xiao Yanxi ate a bowl of meat porridge, drank the medicine, and went to bed early.

When Ning Chen was about to take a break, there was a sudden and rapid sound of gongs outside.

This is a signal of enemy attack.

Ning Chen subconsciously grabbed the sword.

"What's going on outside?"

Pan Yucheng opened the curtain and walked in quickly. "The enemy has sneaked in. Five of our patrolling soldiers were killed."

"It's really a bumpy road." Ning Chen sneered and turned to look at Xiao Yanxi, "Stay in the tent and don't come out. I'll go out and take a look."

Pan Yucheng stopped him, "You can't go out. The armor of the five brothers who were killed was stripped off... This shows that the enemy pretended to be our people and mixed in with us.

You stay here to take care of Miss Xiao, I will go and find these two people."

Ning Chen thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "Let my third and fourth brothers come to me.

In addition, send out the disciples of the Ghost Shadow Sect. If the enemy is in disguise, they will not be able to escape their eyes. The Ghost Shadow Sect is good at disguise.

Remind the brothers below to be more careful."

Pan Yucheng leaned forward to accept the order, "Yes!" Then he turned around and left quickly.

Ning Chen came to sit beside the bed, looked at Xiao Yanxi and said with a smile: "Xiao Xixi, do you believe that within a quarter of an hour, an enemy will try to assassinate me?"
