Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 31

"Lu'er, you wait here, I'll go outside and find some herbs."

Lu'er looked at Murong Wei in surprise: "But miss, do you know medicinal herbs? Besides, it's so dark outside now, miss, can you find medicinal herbs?"

Murong Wei looked outside: "During the day, I saw that there are some herbs on the mountain. I read it in medical books, so it should be right."

"Then how about I go with Miss?"

"You are here to take care of me, waiting for me, I will go back as soon as I go."

She lit the torch and pushed away the stone mill. Lu'er worriedly stood guard at the door, and saw Murong Wei looking for things around with the torch.

It was pitch black all around, and under the curtain of night, the faint cries of wild beasts came from the mountains and forests, which made people feel very palpitating.

Although Murong Wei was afraid in her heart, she couldn't leave King Luo alone.

She dug some bupleurum, angelica, white peony and other things, and brought back some herbs that could be used.

I washed the medicinal herbs in the small pool outside, took them back, and dried and treated them.

Seeing her doing this, Lu'er felt strange: "How can Miss handle medicinal materials?"

Murong Wei glanced at her: "The more you read, the more you will naturally know. Has his fever gone yet?"

"Yeah, what should I do?" Lu'er said worriedly.

Murong Wei processed the medicinal materials, made some and started to boil the medicine.

After she finished the medicine, she tested the temperature on Luo Wang's body, and it was indeed very high.

I don't know if he can reduce the fever after drinking the medicine.

Murong Wei was worried, and heard him raving, murmuring in a daze.

"Drink the medicine." She whispered in his ear.

Not knowing if it was her words that he heard, Xiao Mingrui finally opened his eyes gently at this moment.

His consciousness seemed to be a little unconscious, and his eyes were hazy.

All I could see was her face dangling in front of my eyes.

"You're finally awake, drink your medicine quickly, you have a fever." Murong Wei whispered, with a bit of worry and joy in her voice.

He really scared her before, but fortunately he has at least woken up now.

If you drink the medicine like this, you should be fine.

"medicine?"

His voice was a little dry and hoarse, as if he had woken up, but he felt a splitting headache.

"Yes, I picked some from the outside, and I just mixed it casually, so I don't know if it will work or not."

The medicine bowl was brought to his lips, and he took a sip, which was very bitter.

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows: "Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

His answer was to drink up the medicine.

"I believe you." His eyes were serious, and his deep black eyes were like a deep pool, quietly reflecting her appearance.

It was like a vortex, sucking her soul into it.

Murong Wei turned her head away, only feeling the ups and downs in her heart.

No man has ever said these three words to her like this.

From her previous life to this life, it's not that she hasn't talked about love, but even that person has never talked about it.

On the contrary, it means not believing, it means distrusting three words.

In modern society, the relationship between people is becoming more and more indifferent. Even in the face of feelings, who can not be selfish and defensive.

But in ancient times, in this world, even if she agrees, she can't trust anyone wholeheartedly.

But she didn't expect that it was he who said these three words.

It is said that people born in the royal family like them are even less likely to trust others.

Why would he say that?
Just three words made her defenses collapse all of a sudden.

Murong Wei glanced back at him, "Anyway, I don't know medical skills, and I don't know if this medicine will work or not."

He smiled lowly and said, "Can I have some tea, the medicine is very bitter."

Murong Wei took a teacup and gave him some boiled water.

"Even if the medicine can poison me to death, I will accept my fate." He said suddenly: "Since it is the medicine you boiled, I will drink it no matter what."

Murong Wei said speechlessly: "How can I really use poison for you?"

After finishing speaking, he took some leftover dim sum from his bag: "Can you have some dim sum? I'll soak the dim sum and drink it as porridge, at least to replenish some energy."

Luo Wang did not refuse.

Murong Wei put some snacks into a bowl, made porridge, and fed him.

His black eyes had been looking at her, and Murong Wei was so ashamed and annoyed, she gave him a hard look.

This guy is really hateful!

Although he knew the situation was so dangerous, he didn't know why he was in a good mood.

"Still mad at me?"

Murong Wei snorted: "I don't dare to be angry with you, anyway, how can a noble person like you care about the happiness and anger of a small person?"

"I'm still angry." He stretched out his hand, but she pushed it away, "Your Highness, you should rest well, you are a seriously injured patient now."

She emphasized the word patient.

King Luo laughed.

Murong Wei snorted, put down the bowl, lowered her head, picked up a branch and threw it into the brazier, watched the flames rise, and didn't speak to him.

Luo Wang half-closed his eyes and leaned on the grass, feeling a little dizzy with headaches. Although the wound on his chest had been treated, it was still very painful.

Murong Wei felt his gaze and sighed: "You are very weak now, you should take a good rest."

Luo Wang hummed and closed his eyes, "I can't sleep, you can talk to me, it's cold down here, come here."

Murong Wei fiddled with the branches leisurely: "A man and a woman can't kiss each other."

King Luo opened his eyes: "Would you like me to come down and invite you?"

Murong Wei looked angrily at the man in front of him who was obviously weak but still had piercing eyes, and was speechless for a moment.

"My chest hurts, I don't know if it's cracked." He said suddenly.

Murong Wei went over to check his wound with some helplessness, and saw that it was clear, "It's fine, just don't move around."

Luo Wang half-closed his eyes, "It's cold at night, I don't want you to freeze."

"You bully!" she complained.

He smiled lightly, "How can you be willing?"

"Don't worry, those people outside don't know when they will find this place. What happened today, are they barbarians?"

A trace of coldness and murder flashed in King Luo's eyes, "It's a barbarian, but I didn't expect them to have such courage. How did you escape? I thought they would definitely catch you and silence you."

Murong Wei narrowed her eyes: "At that time... I also discovered the abnormality by accident..."

She briefly talked about what happened today: "I don't know if the coachman sent the news back."

Luo Wang's eyes were full of approval: "I knew you were smart enough, so nothing will happen. I saved you last time, and you saved me this time. It's a tie between you and me."

He really appreciates her, he already knew that she is calm and smart, if she is not vigilant enough in Huangjue Temple today, I am afraid that things will be worse.

Now, he might not be saved by her.

Murong Wei curled her lips: "I, I wish this kind of thing happened less often, otherwise my little life will be ruined."

She is not interested in showing her intelligence in this way.

A few more times and she's going to have a heart attack.

Luo Wang sighed: "I have caused you to be troubled by this matter. Wait, no matter what, it is impossible for these people to dare to stay here at dawn."

It is impossible for him not to return to the palace for no reason, and it is even more impossible for Murong Wei, an unmarried girl, to live in Huangjue Temple.

Sooner or later it will be noticed.

Now that they have escaped the first level, Ziwei Mountain is so big, could they be so unlucky to be found?
Murong Wei saw his expression and didn't want to talk about why the barbarians assassinated him, so naturally she wouldn't force her to ask.

King Luo was not as anxious as she thought, instead he was peaceful, as if this place was not a shabby room deep in the mountains, but a gorgeous attic in his palace, where he was at ease, talking and laughing happily.

This demeanor alone already made her very admired.

As expected of a person who has been on the battlefield and fought a war, this calmness is the most important thing for a general.

"Isn't Your Highness afraid of death? Are you not worried about those people coming?"

Luo Wang shook his head, his eyes were calm: "Even if I am worried and anxious, then the danger does not exist? If it comes, I will be safe. If I am really destined to die today, I will be more comfortable for the rest of the time. If the sky dies Me, why am I afraid of the sky?"

Murong Wei looked at the way he was talking, she could feel that he was really calm, she could not learn this calmness, she was just a little girl, facing death, she did not have the courage to die generously.

"It's no wonder His Highness was able to fight in Saibei. People say that once a general is successful, his bones will be wiped out. I'm afraid His Highness has seen many deaths."

"If you were used to seeing death on the battlefield in Saibei, you might think that death is nothing more than that. Like some people say, he will be a good man again after 18 years." He seemed to remember those extraordinary years.

Murong Wei was a little curious: "What's Saibei like? Can Your Highness tell me about the war?"

Seeing that she was so curious, King Luo's dark pupils shone like bright diamonds, and he was stunned for a moment, "You little girl, why are you so concerned about the war?"

Murong Wei muttered: "What's wrong with the little girl, am I not a citizen of the Great Qin Kingdom? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country."

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country? Who said this? It's interesting."

"I heard it by accident, Your Highness, don't interrupt, tell me about Saibei, I don't know when it will be dawn." She reached out and touched his forehead: "It seems that the temperature has dropped, do you feel better now?"

Luo Wang grabbed her hand, with a smile in his eyes: "You said I was not feeling well before, but you pestered me again? I'm better, but I don't have any strength."

Murong Wei snorted, wasn't he the one who forced her to talk, now it's a blow.

She withdrew her hand: "I didn't want to come here."

Luo Wang just said softly: "I just want you to be by my side, even if I will die, with you by my side, I will have no regrets in this life."

"rhetoric."

"How can it be sweet words? This king never likes to say such things to please women."

"Don't you want to hear about Saibei? Let me tell you..." He talked, talking about the sky, the land and the endless grassland in Saibei.The wind and sand blowing people can't open their eyes...

He talked about the days of windy swords and cold swords, the hunting north wind, the simple and straightforward military men, and the slang of their gossip, laughing jokingly.Speaking of the dryness and lack of vegetables there, even he would inevitably feel sick from eating meat...

He talked about the cruelty of the battle, the life-and-death struggle between the two armies, the anger of seeing familiar people fall one by one, the killing intent afterwards, and the numbness at the end.

He talked about the wars he participated in, and his military exploits.

Lime Zephyr, full of pride, unrestrained and unrestrained, he didn't care about that time at the time, but he missed it so much afterwards.

The endless world, that is the place where a real man should go, just like an eagle soaring in the vast sky, he also dreams about the Iron Horse and Glacier.

Murong Wei listened to him quietly, talking about his regrets, his ambitions, and those cruel or happy times.

Gradually, she became sleepy and fell asleep peacefully in his arms.

The heart that has been tense seems to have found a resting place here.

My hometown is where my heart is at ease.

He just gazed at her tenderly with lowered eyes, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

At this moment, there is no ambition, no vendetta, no struggle and conspiracy.

Yes, but two hearts close together.

Lu'er has been taking care of Wu Jing in the outer room. It's not that she didn't hear the people inside whispering something, but she didn't bother her.

She didn't go in to add branches until the inside gradually became quiet, and the fire in the brazier seemed to want to be extinguished gradually.

When he looked up and saw two sleeping people hugging each other, he was also stunned for a moment.

At this moment, those two people are so harmonious, like a match made in heaven.

Lu'er quietly went back to the outer room and sat down, thinking quietly: Maybe Miss and Luo Wang are really good choices.

It's just that the gap between their identities is too great...

Can Miss really be with King Luo?

Green was a little confused.

"Boss, the person still hasn't been found, but two groups of people came down the mountain, one is from the Luo Palace, and the other is said to be from the Murong Mansion. They are all looking for someone. Now they have been detained by our people. "

The slender and long-faced man with a gloomy face at the head looked even more ugly: "There are so many people, you can still let King Luo escape for me! Isn't he injured, where can he escape?"

Tosen said on the side: "Boss, it's raining too much, it's hard to track them. It's too late now, and the mountain road is dark, it's hard to find them."

"If you can't find it, you have to find it for me! Now we can't delay it, and if we delay it, those people in the mansion will have to come over."

The second leader frowned: "The matter is not completed now, but our goal has been exposed. If we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."

"No, we must complete the task. Go, go and look for it with me immediately, if it is really impossible, then leave according to the retreat route we discussed."

The big leader insisted, and everyone thought about it, but they had no choice but to follow him in the dark forest with a torch.

When Xiao Jinglan arrived at Huangjue Temple, there were already no barbarians in the temple.

He only found many great monks who were tied up in Huangjue Temple.

There were quite a few of them, and because those barbarians were busy arresting people, they didn't have time to pay attention to these monks, they just locked them up.

After Xiao Jinglan asked about today's situation, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He really didn't expect that this matter was actually caused by the barbarian's assassination of King Luo, and Murong Wei was just unlucky enough to encounter this matter.

"That girl looks good, why did she come to Huangjue Temple? Could it be that she came to have a private meeting with King Luo?" This kind of thought made Xiao Jinglan's face livid with anger, and his long and narrow Danfeng eyes were full of anger.

This stupid woman knows how to put herself in crisis.

Let you come to Huangjue Temple to see how you suffer, and you will not know whether you are alive or not!
If you are with me, how can there be such a mess?

"My lord, should we go find someone first, or notify the government?"

A subordinate carefully looked at Xiao Jinglan who could feel the anger even through the mask.

"Look, you must find her before those people!"

With a gloomy face, Xiao Jinglan waved his sleeves and left directly.

The night was getting darker, and the empty mountain was silent.

Murong Wei didn't know how long she slept, she opened her eyes in a daze, only felt that the surrounding was very warm, her whole body was tired, and she didn't want to move at all.

She slept soundly, this time she felt as if she was still in the big warm bed of Murong's house.

However, the vibrating heartbeat in her ears made her understand that she was still in the deep forest of Ziwei Mountain.

Raising his head, Xiao Mingrui was in a deep sleep, Murong Wei stretched out her hand to check, and the temperature on his forehead had returned to normal.

There seemed to be the chirping of birds outside, the bonfire was slowly burning, and Lu'er suddenly came in.

Seeing that Murong Wei woke up, she whispered: "Miss, I see that the sky is still dark, maybe it's almost the end of the night."

Murong Wei suddenly thought that she was still lying in Luo Wang's arms, and hurriedly wanted to get up, and this movement made Xiao Mingrui wake up.

"I woke you up, I see it's almost dawn." Murong Wei said.

Xiao Mingrui glanced at Lu'er, reached out to his waist, found a pouch, opened it, and found it was an exquisite red gold pocket watch with auspicious dragon pattern.

Murong Wei glanced at the pocket watch passed over by the Westerners.

Of course, there are not many from the West, only the royal family and nobles.But the Ministry of Internal Affairs can also make pocket watches, and the one in Luo Wang's hand looks like it is made in-house, and it is very exquisite.

He opened it and took a look, and Murong Wei took a look, and the time now was just past four o'clock in the morning.

It's dark, but it will be bright soon.

Presumably there must be quite a few people who should get the news and come to the rescue.

Murong Wei just got up from his arms, lost the warmth, she suddenly felt a little cold all over.

Xiao Mingrui said lightly: "Let's sleep again, I thought about the day, sooner or later someone will find it."

"No, I'll make some tea."

How can I sleep in front of the servant girl now.

Xiang Tao also woke up in a daze at this time, Lu'er scolded her, and she was so frightened that she fell to her knees and apologized.

"Okay, you can take care of Lu'er for a while and let her rest too."

Xiangtao blushed and nodded dully, she didn't expect that she fainted from fright last night, it was really embarrassing.

When he got outside, he couldn't help but give Wu Jing a hard look.

Xiao Mingrui had a night's rest, and his whole body was much better than last night. Although he was exhausted due to excessive blood loss, he no longer had headaches and concussions, and his spirit had recovered a lot.

Murong Wei boiled water, Luo Wang didn't dislike the water, and drank it.

When he was fighting in the past, how could he pay so much attention, he has long been used to it.

"Ah, my lord, your guards are awake too!" Xiangtao shouted.

"My lord!" Wu Jing walked in holding the door. Although his face was pale, he was relieved to see that King Luo was safe and sound.

"Lieutenant Wu, this king is thanks to your desperate rescue this time, and I am grateful." Xiao Mingrui's eyes are soft, and it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this guard.

Wu Jing said guiltily: "What did you say, my lord? I used to accompany you in Saibei, and my duty was to protect you, but this time you were seriously injured..."

"I don't blame you this time, it's just that there are only a few people who accompanied me to Saibei back then..." Xiao Mingrui seemed a little sentimental.

Wu Jing works in the Prince's Mansion and is a military officer of the imperial court, but he is also ordered by King Luo. He has been accepted by King Luo long ago, so he is naturally loyal to him.If it wasn't for him this time, King Luo would really be in danger.

"I heard that there seems to be some movement outside." Lu'er suddenly said nervously.

Everyone was shocked.

Hearing this, Wu Jing hurried to the door and looked out through the gap in the stone door.

It was just that it was still dark outside at the moment, but he still saw a group of men in black holding torches searching in the distance.

With a thump in his heart, he turned around and said, "My lord, it's those barbarians!"

Xiao Mingrui's face darkened, "Extinguish the fire first, they may not be able to find us here."

Murong Wei also hurriedly extinguished the fire, and everyone dared not show their anger. They really didn't expect these barbarians to find this place.

The stone room suddenly became dark, only Xiao Mingrui was seen sitting up in the darkness, and Murong Wei hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Xiao Mingrui said softly: "Don't be afraid, no matter what, everything is up to me."

Murong Wei's uneasy heart suddenly settled down.

She didn't know what her fate would be, but even if she really died and could be with him, she felt that her life was not in vain.

Even if she dies, God knows if she will time travel again.

Just once again, can I still meet him?

Murong Wei felt sad.

Meeting in this life is fate, how can she forget all this.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

And among the barbarians circling around outside, Natosen quickly found traces: "After the rain, the ground here is muddy, but there are also footprints. There are many footprints here. I have seen nearby The footprints are all gathered here. It must be near here. King Naluo should be here."

The big leader breathed a sigh of relief, "Hurry up and make a quick decision. I see that many people have appeared on the mountain, and there are still many soldiers searching the mountain below. If we can't leave as soon as possible, we will be caught sooner or later."

The second leader also nodded: "Yes, he is carrying... Let's hurry up."

After saying that, these people immediately dispersed and searched here inch by inch.
