"My lord, we have reached the boundary of Qingyang County. How about take some rest?"
On the official road to Qingyang county, dozens of fine horses were escorting a carriage at a very fast speed. The one in the lead was a woman wearing the army uniforms, who was with fine features, but her brows were rendering that kind of integrity and dominance no inferior to a man, but as she turned to the carriage, her face was infected with undisguised respect.
"No, go to Ling Village at top speed."
From the carriage came a low hoarse male voice, which was mixed with some kind of obvious eagerness. They woman dare not hesitate. With a roar, the cavalries unitedly waved the whips in their hands and sped up, and inside the carriage, Ling Jingpeng looked at the bearded, coarse and sloppy man worriedly, "Brother Rui, how about we take some rest first? I'm sure we'll arrive before dark. Didn't they say there are still seven or eight days before my big brother’s due date? Actually, we don’t need to be in such a hurry."
Yeah, the ones sitting inside were no one else but Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingpeng, with two doctor-looking people waiting on by the side. In the war last time, Yan Shengrui and Duke Zeng’s perfect flawless cooperation gave the nomads a dead blow. But on the way back, Yan Shengrui got ambushed by the brave and valiant Prince Longxie of the enemies, and he got a shot in the chest during the fight. The tip of the arrow was only half a chi from the heart. But the thing is the arrowhead had poison. After Yan Si and others brought him back, all the doctors in the army said they could do thing with it. Seeing that Yan Shengrui was going to die, Duke Zeng sent some to find Ling Jingpeng and asked him to see him for the last time, thinking after all he is the younger brother of the crown princess. So it would be more suitable for him to see the prince on behalf of the crown princess. But unexpectedly, Ling Jingpeng tipped that his big brother had been use of preparing all kinds of medicine and poison for them for safety. And Yan Si also remembered that their prince indeed had a package, inside of which was all the medicine their crown princess had prepared for the prince. When they took out that dark green lucid ganoderma, everyone was amazed. After some discussion of those military doctors, the conclusion is—that green lucid ganoderma should be the legendary medicine that could bring a dead person back to life. But no one could guarantee that. One should know, that was the prince. If the prince died after taking it, even if they had ten heads, it was not enough!
Finally, Ling Jingpeng made the finally decision and advised Duke Zeng to order them to let Yan Shengrui take the lucid ganoderma, for he trusted his big brother. If it was some common things, he wouldn’t have let Brother Rui take it with him. Duke Zeng was a real tough man. Holding the attitude of fighting the losing battle, he ordered the doctors to use it at cost of the name of his whole mansion. Having no choice, following the tips of Ling Jingpeng, the doctors first let Yan Shengrui take the specially-made antidotal pills and then asked Yan Si to use his internal force to push all the poison at the wound before the chest, finally, applied the mashed green lucid ganoderma onto it. And the strange thing nearly happened in an instant. Soon the green lucid ganoderma soon sucked out all the poison, and it gradually turned into black. Seeing that, the doctors hurriedly scraped off the lucid ganoderma and applied some more. Again and again, after using nearly half of the lucid ganoderma, it no longer turned black, which was to say, the poison had been basically all removed. But just in case, the doctors still gently applied another thin layer and then bandaged the wound for him. What’s more strange, the next day when they uncovered it, the wound already started to heal, and the unconscious Yan Shengrui gradually regained his consciousness. After consuming the whole lucid ganoderma, and after nearly half a month, Yan Shengrui had almost completely recovered.
Though having recovered, after all, he had experienced the life-and-death moment. After simply handling those official affairs at hands and leaving the rest to Duke Zeng, he had decided to go back home, only afraid he might miss the date when his precious wife gave birth. Duke Zeng was worried that he might take no rest if he rode a horse, so he only allowed him to go after he agreed to take a carriage. Meanwhile, Ling Jingpeng had almost handled those things at hands and planned to go back with him. And the leading one of Yan Shengrui’s personal convoys was Ling Jingpeng’s fiancée—General Ye’s daughter Ye Ruyun. As for how she had become Ling Jingpeng’s fiancée, it was a bit hilarious.
One should know, Ye Ruyun had grown up in the army with her dad. Except her gender, she was basically a man. No one in the army took him as a woman. Those who were close with her all took her as their buddy. And those who were strange with him all respected her as their commander. General Ye had long been worried who would marry her daughter. But at this time, Ling Jingpeng appeared and even grew feelings for her. The funnier thing was that the love poems the little buns copied were accidentally sent to someone else. The army had rules. Any letter from their hometown should be read before all soldiers and then…The thing that Ling Jingpeng had a crush on Ye Ruyun and even asked his family to make love poems for him spread through the whole army. Soon, even Duke Zeng heard of it. And General Ye had long liked the handsome and outstanding Ling Jingpeng. Under his acquiescence and Duke Zeng’s acting as go-between, soon, the two of them confessed their feelings to each other. After Yan Shengrui got a little better, as the elder of Ling Jingpeng, he personally went to propose before General Ye. But, Ye Ruyun had always wanted to be a general, and Ling Jingpeng also hadn’t told his family about it, so, they only got engaged and exchanged the love token, but not held the wedding. So, on the surface, Ye Ruyun was escorting them back, in fact, she was going back to see her parents-in-law, although this was kind of repugnant to common sense, how would the female side go to see the male side’s parents first? But General Ye was a soldier, he didn’t care about those formalities. Plus, he was anxious to marry his daughter out. He would even want to pay the other side a huge fortune as long as their son could marry his daughter. So, it was not that hard to understand.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "I can take some rest after going home."
Speaking of which, Yan Shengrui closed his eyes, apparently not wanting to say more. Not knowing why, in his heart always had a foreboding, as if there was a voice urging him to hurry back, so, anyhow, he must go back to Jingxuan’s side as soon as possible.
