The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

After leaving the Bodhisattva Temple, Yang Qi watched Xiaobai anxiously pedaling the horse's hooves at the temple entrance, once, twice, three times.

For some reason, Yang Qi saw the anxiety on Xiaobai's horse, and trotted to Xiaobai's side with a smile.

The moment he saw Yang Qi, Xiaobai suddenly felt relieved, and his previous impatience dissipated a lot.

Yang Qi happily stroked Xiao Bai's temples and said, "Xiao Bai, look at how dirty you are. You've worked so hard for so many days, and your hair has turned black. Where's your former handsomeness? I'll wash it for you when we get there. Don't worry, I'll definitely make you return to the peak of your life as a horse."

Xiaobai seemed to understand what Yangqi meant and rubbed against Yangqi lovingly.

Then, Yang Qi took his bag from Xiao Bai, thought for a while, found a bottle of gold medicine and a bottle of detoxification pills, and handed them to General Huo Yun: "This is Guangming Hall's medicine, you should be able to recognize it, I don't need to teach you how to use it."

Huo Yun glanced at the medicine in Yang Qi's hand, then looked away. Huo Yun's long experience on the battlefield had taught him that he would not use medicine powder from outsiders unless there were special circumstances.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Qi said patiently: "General Huo Yun, your wounds are bleeding now. If nothing else, I'm afraid that the people inside will wake up and find us by following the blood trail without much effort."

After spending so many years with His Highness, Yang Qi knew that when dealing with these important people, one could only speak in a compliant manner. If he said that his wound would fester if it was not treated quickly, General Huo Yun would probably ignore him.

Then, Yang Qi said: "If it is inconvenient for you to take care of the wound on your back, Adu can help you." Seeing that General Huo Yun did not continue speaking, Yang Qi knew that this was his consent.

Turning around, Yang Qi placed the two bottles of golden healing medicine and detoxification pills that Peilin had prepared earlier in Adu's hands.

Looking at the medicine bottle handed over by Adu, Huo Yun took it, opened the bottle, sprinkled a little medicine powder on his hand, smelled it carefully, and then looked at it carefully again. It was indeed the medicine prescribed by Doctor Zong Yue.

For so many years, the entire Huo family army and even General Huo, the Duke of England, have been using the prescriptions of Doctor Zong Yue of Guangming Hall. Huo Yun is not unfamiliar with this medicine. It must be said that Zong Yue's medical skills have all been passed down by his grandfather, and the prescriptions prepared by Zong Yue are much better than those previously used by Xi Hu.

Without Adu's help, Huo Yun applied the medicine very quickly. He just sprinkled all the medicine powder on the wound, then put on the clothes given by Adu, and that was it. He didn't even wrap it with gauze.

Yang Qi and his group prepared a lot of horses, and they were all good horses, especially Xiaobai, which was very smart. Huo Yun was pleased when he saw it for the first time.

Seeing that Xiaobai was Yang Qi's mount, Huo Yun liked it but would not force it. He picked a horse that he liked from the remaining horses, and without being polite to others, he directly stepped on the horse and glanced at Yang Qi: "If you want to enter Xihu smoothly, just follow me and don't talk too much on the way."

Hearing General Huo Yun's words, Yang Qi smiled widely and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General Huo Yun." Then, Yang Qi nodded to Adu and the others and followed Huo Yun.

Yang Qi had memorized the map of the area, so it wasn't difficult for him to remember everyone's route.

Before they knew it, they had been traveling all night. The sun seemed to suddenly appear in everyone's sight, and all the originally gray things suddenly appeared colorful.

After running for a whole night, Yang Qi looked at the road led by General Huo Yun and felt a little worried. According to the route on the map, there should be a cliff ahead, which was why Yang Qi and his group did not choose this road.

Why did General Huo Yun choose this path? Did the Huo family army do something to the cliff?

According to the information that Adu had previously inquired, there would be a bandit's hideout along the way. Yang Qi looked at General Huo Yun in front of him who was not disguised at all, and had some vague guesses in his mind.

Sure enough, when we arrived at the bandits' hideout, there were still a dozen bandits guarding the intersection, just like before.

Ah Du, Ah Yi, Chen Jing and Xiao Qing stepped forward silently and stood guard around Yang Qi. The four of them placed their right hands on their weapons silently, ready to take action at any time.

Although Yang Qi was not panicked, he did not try to be brave and silently asked Adu and his group to guard him from all sides.

Just as Yang Qi expected, when General Huo Yun arrived at the place where the bandits were blocking the road, someone immediately cleared all the roadblocks. Then all the bandits looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, thinking they were blind and did not look any further.

Yang Qi at the back smiled silently, it was indeed true.

Along the way, Yang Qi was surprised to see the arrogance of these "bandits". His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Huo were both people with great ambitions.

Now these "bandits" are here, completely blocking the communication between the huge Xihu and the outside world. Apart from other things, Xihu is not a place with high grain production. Here, there are so many soldiers and horses, and a large amount of grain must be sent from Jiangnan every year. If the fifth prince or the court wants to deal with Xihu, the most direct way is to block Xihu into an empty city. How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Huo tolerate such a thing!

The only explanation is that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Huo did not stop this matter openly, they have been quietly disintegrating these "bandit" forces in secret.

Now Yang Qi is looking forward to seeing more and more how General Huo Yun will lead his team into Xihu.

With a skeptical and curious attitude, Yang Qi followed General Huo Yun and stopped in front of the cliff.

After getting off the horse, Yang Qi looked down the cliff and felt a little dizzy. It was pitch black down there and he couldn't tell how long it was.

Ever since Yang Qi got off the horse, Xiao Qing has been following behind Yang Qi: "Miss, the cliff is dangerous, we should go back a little."

Yang Qi nodded. Xiao Qing was becoming more and more considerate now, and her words were becoming more and more gentle.

Ever since he said a few words in front of the Bodhisattva Temple, General Huo Yun had not spoken a word during the entire journey, looking very composed.

According to the way he got along with His Highness, General Huo Yun probably already had several ways to return to Xihu in his mind. Yang Qi looked at Adu, Ayi and Chen Jing, and said with a respectful smile: "General Huo Yun, it's up to you next."

Huo Yun ignored Yang Qi's words, and stared at the other side of the cliff with his eagle eyes.

Just when Yang Qi thought Huo Yun would not answer him, General Huo Yun suddenly said, "Wait."

Following Huo Yun's gaze, Yang Qi looked towards the other side of the cliff and estimated that it was at least thirty meters long. There was no wooden bridge or rope connecting the front and back. What did General Huo Yun mean by "wait"?

Could it be that the Huo family army has arranged people on the other side of the cliff?

Taking out the map from his arms, Yang Qi looked at it carefully. The other side of the cliff was only sixty miles away from Xihu.

If we can really reach the cliff from here, we should be able to reach Xihu today. Yang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. This is earlier than the scheduled time and should not delay His Highness's business.

Adu took out the naan from the luggage and handed it to Yang Qi: "Master, eat some naan. I'm afraid it will take some effort later."

Taking the naan, Yang Qi smiled. Yesterday, he followed the soldiers and could only eat some smelly black naan. Compared with yesterday, the naan he ate today made his living standard much better.

He had experienced so many things these days. When he thought back to his days in the Duke's Mansion, Yang Qi felt as if it was a lifetime ago.
