New Territories Intern

chapter 17

Lei Xiao frowned, threw her on the horse and galloped away.

What does Li Youchen mean?Didn't he want her life? Why did he suddenly save her...

Su Rui has been too lazy to talk to him, he has ups and downs, like convulsions, compared to his weirdness, what happened in front of the tent puzzled her more.

Is it just a dream to return to the 21st century in the blink of an eye?No, it didn't feel like it was just a dream. For a moment, she thought that being exiled to this strange world overnight was just a dream——

"What the hell is she dreaming about? It's a mess."

"Shut up and don't wake her up!

Su Rui repeated their conversation in his heart, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed by him, and he became excited at the thought of a possibility.

Maybe—this place is also a dream?Am I dreaming in a dream, a ghost presses the bed, enters a ghost dream, walks a ghost path?

Thinking of this possibility, Su Rui suddenly panicked again. If this is the case, how should he wake up?

Su Rui calmed down, stared at the road ahead, and kept telling himself in his heart to see through this dream, see through all the pretense, don't rush, don't panic, don't panic, it's all a dream——

After continuous self-hypnosis by "It's all a dream", the road ahead suddenly became distorted, but returned to normal in an instant.

Su Rui was both surprised and delighted, it turned out that there was also a clue——

"drive!"

When Su Rui was about to continue, he was startled by Lei Xiao's roar.

Seeing his legs pinched, Su Rui could feel the speed increase obviously, this man had convulsions again, the speed was too fast now, she was shaking so much that she felt like vomiting, and she had to stop trying to create ghost dreams.

Lei Xiao's mind is filled with scenes of Li Youchen saving her, why did he save her?

Also in doubt were Li Youchen himself, and An Yitong who was walking with him.

"Commander, why did you save her?" An Yitong finally couldn't hold back and asked after returning to the city.

Li Youchen frowned and glanced at him, "I don't know."

After dropping two words, he turned and entered the coach's tent. Qin Yang and Gao Lan were already waiting in the tent.

When Qin Yang saw the commander came back, he rushed up to meet him, and asked anxiously: "Commander, you are back, the emperor asked Chen Yuwei to send an urgent message, asking you to return to the palace as soon as possible."

"If you don't reply, just say you're busy." Li Youchen's voice was very cold.

Seeing that the coach was in a bad mood, Gao Lan quickly asked An Yitong in a low voice, "Didn't you go out for a walk? Why did you come back in a worse mood?"

An Yitong glanced at him, shook his head in silence, and frowned slightly.

"Stupid gourd!" Gao Lan muttered softly.

"Not back? Commander, we are here, the emperor asked Chen Yuwei to send an urgent message, maybe there is something urgent..." Qin Yang tried to persuade him anxiously, even though he knew that ten cows would not be able to pull back what he had decided, he was still working hard.

"Eldest prince, the emperor said that no matter what, let me take you to the palace." Chen Yuwei lifted the curtain and entered the tent and said leisurely.

Li Youchen is the eldest prince of the Dragon Kingdom and the best candidate for the next prince, but he has always refused to return to the palace, preferring to lead troops to fight here.

Li Youchen looked at him coldly, "For what? The crown prince?"

"Since you know, don't embarrass your subordinates and the emperor. He is old and his body is getting worse every year. It is hard to look forward to your return, so you should be a filial son." Chen Yuwei said with a smile.

"When is it your turn to preach?" Gao Lan snorted coldly and looked at him contemptuously.

Chen Yuwei did not argue with him, but just looked at the eldest prince.

"Aren't there many dutiful sons? It doesn't matter if I'm missing. If you're okay, you can go back." Li Youchen glanced at him and waved him to go out.

Chen Yuwei raised his eyebrows and nodded, bowed in salute and slowly backed out.

Gao Lan snorted coldly, frowned, and said, "It's really a weasel wishing a chicken a new year, uneasy and kind. I must be happy in my heart."

"What nonsense, do you mean the coach is a chicken!" Qin Yang scolded him with wide eyes.

Gao Lan gritted her teeth and said, "Do you understand the analogy? If you don't understand it, just go."

"Boss, are we really not going back? You see that the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the two sides are also at a stalemate. It doesn't matter if we go back first and let other generals guard it." Gao Lan said.

"Go out if you don't have anything else to say."

Gao Lan sighed and retreated, and Qin Yang followed him in confusion.

An Yitong just glanced at him with frowned eyebrows, but still didn't speak, and backed out.

Li Youchen tapped lightly on the table, Hou Meiyu, Lei Xiao...

His mind was filled with the conversation they shared with the cliff on the same horse, why did they save her just now, why did they save a princess from an enemy country...

Running all the way back to the city, Lei Xiao's face was sullen, and Su Rui also murmured silently, for fear of causing him to roar again.

After getting off the horse, Lei Xiao pulled the horse and walked away.

When the stepmother heard that General Lei had sent someone out, she wandered around anxiously. When she saw him coming back, she hurried up and said anxiously, "Where did you go? I'm worried about you."

Su Rui breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Little General Lei just took me to the adjacent cliff."

The stepmother frowned, "A man and a woman don't know each other, and they ride a horse together. You should be more careful in the future."

"Well, I see." No need for stepmother to remind, Su Rui will keep a distance from him in the future, save his life!

"Okay, it's getting dark, let's go have dinner." The stepmother took her back to the tent and was busy.

Su Rui looked at her busy back and murmured, "Mother, why don't we go back to the capital or enter the palace..."

The stepmother sighed: "Mother doesn't want to, but if we don't go back, can we escape the clutches of the darkness, and it will be a matter of time before we go back."

Suri had no words to refute.

"Okay, don't be downcast, let's have dinner." The stepmother fondled her hair.

Su Rui absent-mindedly ate in silence. After a meal, he didn't know what to eat. After the table was cleaned up, the stepmother beckoned, "Come, let mother see your jade."

Su Rui sat next to her and took out the piece of jade. Seeing her serious expression, he couldn't help studying it carefully. The lines seemed quite strange.

"It's okay, put it back. Don't reveal it." The stepmother urged.

Seeing her urging, Su Rui hurriedly stuffed the jade back into his skirt.

There was a sudden commotion outside the tent. When Su Rui was suspicious, the curtain was pulled up, and a soldier said anxiously, "Girl, General Zheng, please come over."

Why did you invite me over?Feeling that something is going wrong, Su Rui murmured in his heart.

The stepmother took her by the arm and worriedly said, "Mother, let's go with you."

"It's okay, mother, I'll be back later." Su Rui patted her hand lightly, smiled, and followed the soldier out of the tent.

Seeing the panicked expressions of the soldiers passing by, Su Rui asked suspiciously, "Brother, why are they all so panicked? But what happened?"

The soldier leading the way sighed, "I heard that Doctor Cheng's assistant seemed to be infected with smallpox, and everyone was panicked."

"Like? Where's Doctor Cheng?" Isn't there a military doctor?

"Medical Officer Cheng also suddenly fainted in General Zheng's tent, not knowing if he was infected by his assistant."

It was fine at noon, but why did I get smallpox all of a sudden?

Seeing that he was too frightened to enter the tent, Hou Meiyu understood what he meant and said with a smile, "Thank you brother soldier, I can go in by myself."

Seen through his mind, he scratched his head in embarrassment and reminded: "Then be careful yourself." After finishing speaking, he ran away.

Su Rui entered the tent calmly, only to see King Lei Hu, Lei Xiao and General Zheng staring solemnly at Doctor Cheng on the bed.

Deputy General Lin and Li Bao stood far away from Doctor Cheng in panic, for fear of being infected.

"Why are you here?" Lei Xiao frowned when he saw her coming.

"I invited her here. No one knows medicine except her." General Zheng said.

King Lei Hu vetoed it immediately: "No, she can't be infected. There is something wrong, you can go back to the tent."

"I'll pay attention, it's okay." Saying that, Su Rui walked over and looked at her illness carefully. Although she had a rash on her neck, it was quite different. She had been exposed to smallpox and knew it well.

When Su Rui was about to touch Doctor Cheng's forehead, Lei Huwang and Lei Xiao said in unison: "Don't touch it!"

Lei Xiao grabbed her and scolded, "What are you doing!"
