Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"Ah?" Xu Yixing was puzzled. Going south to Miaozhou was the most convenient way, but going west meant crossing the grassland, which was too far. "How can we ensure safety?"

Xu Yixing remembered that there were only fifty or sixty people in the three tents when the poisonous smoke was released just now. If such a small number of people encountered the Hu people, they would be courting death.

"This... is inconvenient to say. Let's wait until the master wakes up and let him tell you himself." Ah Da's words were evasive, and Xu Yixing did not delve into it. It didn't matter what, as long as he was alive.

"Then at our current speed, it will take at least a month to enter the pass. What if something unexpected happens in the court during this period?"

"This is something that the ministers in the capital have to worry about. Besides, the master has already made arrangements, so there is no need to worry."

Xu Yixing sighed lightly. It seemed that Lu Anyuan had been hiding more than one or two things from her. If it was really as absurd as she had once speculated, she really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Seven days later, the group met Qiu Ling at a strange-looking stone city. At that time, Qiu Ling was carrying Ying Si, who claimed to be a miracle doctor, in his carriage. The mute slave beside him was holding Xiao Bao, and they were waiting there with the eight guards. From a distance, they looked like a group of clay figures.

When Qiu Ling saw Xu Yixing, he was immediately furious and threatened to go to Lu Anyuan to sue this abominable woman who abandoned her husband and children and was unfaithful to her husband. However, after learning that her master was seriously injured and unconscious, he threw the words he had prepared long ago out of his mind. He silently handed Xiaobao to the carriage, mounted his horse and followed the guards to the direction of Pingyun Pass without saying another word.

"Look at your people, each one of them is so vicious. I left Xiaobao to him, so of course I told him that I didn't run away. But he still insisted on putting such a big blame on me. It's so unjust!" Xu Yixing held Xiaobao in his arms lovingly and rocked him, while complaining to Lu Anyuan who was still unconscious.

Ying Si said that some people can feel the movements of the outside world when they are in a coma. Maybe by talking to them like this, I can wake them up.

From the conversations over the past few days, Xu Yixing learned that Lu Anyuan was indeed injured by a stray arrow during the battle with the Khan. The wound became infected and he had a high fever. Due to special reasons, he could not seek military support and had to hide.

However, A Da and A Er did not say a word as to why these people hid in the old tent of the royal court, or how they avoided being hunted down by the barbarians. They would only say something when Lu Anyuan woke up.

Mr. Yao and Ying Si were whispering to each other in a car every day, discussing something. Every time they came to change Lu Anyuan's medicine, their expressions would become heavier, as if they were worried about whether he could wake up. However, Xu Yixing didn't know whether he would wake up or not. He only knew that if he didn't wake up, General Xia and General Qiu in the convoy would probably want to put him in a pig cage.

"Alas! Look at you, what are you trying to do? You know that there is no such thing as a sure thing in the world, so why bother taking risks with your life? You insisted on leading the army in person, and now you have destroyed yourself. You are courting death, alas..."

Xu Yixing started to nag in his ear again. It had been ten days since she had seen Lu Anyuan again after her failed poisoning attempt. She had no confidence at all. She stayed in the car every day, fearing that Lu Anyuan would not wake up and die. She was also afraid that if he woke up, the first person he saw was not her, which would be very uncomfortable.

"By the way, when I saw the way Xia Xiao looked at me today, he seemed to want to tear me into pieces. The same thing happened to Qiu Ling. It was so scary! What if they bully me if you don't wake up..." The latter sentence was whispered into Lu Anyuan's ear. After all, A Da and A Er had been following outside the car, and it would not be good for them to hear these spoiled words.

Of course, the two people outside the carriage, riding horses on the left and right, had long been accustomed to the mistress's "slandering" of the adults, and even they had been framed by her. Ah Er clenched his fists in indignation, and made up his mind that he would complain to the mistress when she woke up, otherwise, if the mistress kept whispering in their ears, sooner or later these people would lose their lives.

But today, besides her complaints, there seemed to be some other noises in the carriage. Ah Er couldn't hear them clearly because of the wall of the carriage. Just as he was about to distinguish them carefully, he heard the master's surprised voice from inside the carriage: "You're awake! Someone come quickly, your Majesty is awake!"

This shout stopped the entire convoy. Immediately, the entire team was overjoyed and hurriedly stopped. A Da even quickly pulled Mr. Yao down from the front car to check out the situation.

Mr. Yao got into the car and saw Xu Yixing's eyes were blurred with tears but a smile was still on his face. Lu Anyuan, who was originally lying in the car, had sat up, but he looked angry and was leaning against the car wall, covering his wound.

"How do you feel?" Mr. Yao took his pulse and observed the blood seeping from the gauze. A long-lost smile appeared on his face. He took out a small bottle from his arms, which was filled with half a bottle of liquid, and poured it into his mouth. Only then did he hear him speak.

"Then let Qiu Ling and Xia Xiao be executed by slow slicing, let A Da and A Er be beaten with thirty military sticks, and let Mr. Yao be sent to raise horses for the Hu people, okay?"

"what?"

"Why are you like this!"

"It's unfair, Master!"

Three voices sounded at the same time. The speakers were Mr. Yao who had just withdrawn his hand, Xu Yixing who was staring with eyes wide open, and Er who had been listening to the noise outside the car.

Among the three, only Mr. Yao was unaware that he was being gossiped about every day and didn't know the reason. However, Xu Yixing and A'er could hear it clearly. It was obvious that Lu Anyuan had taken to heart what they said!

"How can you treat your own people like this? They are working for you after all. It's so cruel!" Xu Yixing, the culprit, was even angrier than those people mentioned by Lu Anyuan. He said this while gritting his teeth and looking ashamed.

"You complain to me every day. Isn't it good for me to punish them now?" Lu Anyuan put his hands down and pushed the quilt down. It was too hot in the car and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Perhaps because his throat had been damaged by the long coma, he now spoke weakly. These words, which should have been full of vigor, had a hint of weakness when they came out of his mouth, making people feel that the person who spoke was a weak young man.

Mr. Yao frowned, and immediately knew that this must be what the lady from the Xu family said, and now was the time for them to clear up the misunderstanding. So he snorted coldly, glanced at Xu Yixing's face, picked up the medicine box and returned to his car.

Lu Anyuan briefly learned the latest developments from Ada, gave a few clear orders, and then drove away Xia Xiao and Qiu Ling who wanted to come and say hello, urging the team to move on.

There were only two people left in the carriage. Xu Yixing had just been listening to him assigning tasks. He knew that he had a clear mind and was sharp. He thought that everything was really fine. He felt happy and sad at the same time.
