Chapter 177 Back to the House
“Miss Su?” Chu Feng was stunned. He obviously did not connect the person in front of him with Su Jixiang.
“It’s me.” Su Jixiang smiled and saluted Chu Feng, who quickly dismounted to return the salute.
"Isn't Miss Su with the general? Why is she here?" Chu Feng asked in surprise. "What happened to the general's poison? I heard rumors that..."
He looked around and obviously now was not the time to talk about this matter, so he shut up in time.
"I have something to do, so please ask Captain Chu to take me to Lord Xie." Su Jixiang said.
Chu Feng is the captain of the Black Tiger Guard, so he is different from outsiders.
Wei Ling once said that anyone who was a member of the Black Tiger Guard was his brother.
“Don’t worry, Miss Su.” Chu Feng led the horse to Su Jixiang. “If Miss Su doesn’t mind, can I escort her directly to find Master Xie?”
He still calls Su Jixiang "girl".
But Su Jixiang didn't bother with him about this. Now was not the time to worry about such trivial matters.
"Okay. I'll have to trouble Captain Chu." Su Jixiang climbed onto the horse.
Although she had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. When she followed the chief eunuch to the hunting grounds, she had borrowed horses from the guards and ridden them secretly, but at that time she was only riding on the horse and led by the guards for a few times.
The horses used by the guards in the capital were all chosen to have good tempers. After all, when the guards needed to line up, if there was a horse with a particularly stubborn temper, it would disrupt the team.
But the horses of Chu Feng and his companions were different. They were all war horses that had been on the battlefield, and each one was more fierce than the other.
Su Jixiang had just mounted her horse when Chu Feng's warhorse gave her a warning, neighing and raising its front hooves, trying to throw Su Jixiang off.
Su Jixiang's face turned pale with fear. If Chu Feng had not held the reins tightly and supported Su Jixiang's lower back with one hand, Su Jixiang would have been thrown off by the horse.
“This, this…” Su Jixiang looked at Chu Feng in shock.
Chu Feng said, "I'm sorry." Then he jumped on his horse and landed behind Su Jixiang.
Strangely enough, as soon as Chu Feng got on the horse, the horse instantly became quiet, as quiet as a chicken...
"I will bring Miss Su here soon. Miss Su, sit tight." After saying that, he shook the reins, and the horse shot out like an arrow.
Su Jixiang fell backwards due to inertia and crashed directly into Chu Feng's chest.
She awkwardly grasped the iron ring on the saddle, trying hard to balance her body.
It only took a quarter of an hour to ride from Zhou Ziqi's house to the military camp on horseback, but Su Jixiang felt that this quarter of an hour was as long as an hour.
Firstly, she had to work hard to maintain her balance, and secondly, she couldn't have too much contact with Chu Feng. It wasn't because of the strict rules between men and women, but because she felt it was inappropriate.
Fortunately, she had disguised her face, and no one knew who Chu Feng was bringing with him. They only knew that Captain Chu brought a woman into the barracks to find Xie Yingfeng.
Su Jixiang only felt safer when she saw Xie Yingfeng.
Xie Yingfeng immediately dismissed his attendants.
"Why are you here? How is your husband now?" Xie Yingfeng was surprised and asked.
He was in contact with Wei Ling's secret guards and knew that Wei Ling was now being protected in another house.
"Let's not talk about other things for now." Su Jixiang said, "I don't dare to trust others, I can only trust you." She roughly described how she went to Zhou Ziqi's side, how she was attacked, and how Zhou Ziqi used himself as a target to lure people away in order to protect her and the medicine.
She took out two doses of medicine from her body and handed them to Xie Yingfeng, "I don't know the dosage, but I think this should be enough. Can you send someone to deliver the medicine first, and then send someone to send me back." Su Jixiang kept two doses on herself, but she didn't tell Xie Yingfeng.
At times like this, it is a very prudent choice to keep some reserves for yourself.
Xie Yingfeng immediately called the secret guard that Wei Ling had left for him.
These were all trustworthy people. He gave the two doses of medicine to two different people and asked them to deliver them to Wei Ling as soon as possible.
Then he asked someone to bring a set of sergeant's clothes, "Put this on first. I'll have someone escort you out later. With the flag and my letter, no one will stop you! I'll also send someone to escort you out!"
"Yeah." Su Jixiang nodded. "By the way, is there any news about Zhou Ziqi now?"
"There is no news from Zhou Ziqi yet." Xie Yingfeng shook his head. "But don't worry, he is surrounded by experts and Guihua is protecting him, so he shouldn't be in any trouble. Besides, our people are about to control the entire city, and there is not much time and space left for those traitors."
Su Jixiang nodded.
She had just followed Chu Feng all the way here and saw that the Black Tiger Guards had controlled several districts, proving that what Xie Yingfeng said was right.
Xie Yingfeng went out, and Su Jixiang quickly changed his clothes into soldier's uniform.
Even though she was tall, the soldier's uniform still looked too big for her. She could only try her best to straighten the clothes so that no one could see the flaw at first glance.
She kept the two doses of medicine she had left behind safely and then walked out of the tent.
Xie Yingfeng handed the command flag and the letter to Su Jixiang, and called four of his men to escort Su Jixiang out of the barracks.
After Xie Yingfeng's arrangement, Su Jixiang returned safely to the house where Wei Ling was hiding.
The medicine sent by the secret guard arrived before her.
What surprised Su Jixiang was that she saw Zhou Ziqi at the house!
After Guihua protected Zhou Ziqi and left, most of the assassins were attracted to track them. They fought all the way while retreating, and later they met a team of patrolling Black Tiger Guards. After the two sides joined forces, they captured all the assassins.
But when he was about to return to the medicine house, he encountered another group of people who were tracking him. These people were traitors and they started fighting with the Black Tiger Guards.
To be on the safe side, Guihua brought Zhou Ziqi back here first.
When they got back here, they met the secret guards who came to deliver medicine. They learned that Su Jixiang had successfully come to Xie Yingfeng. Only then did they give up the idea of looking for Su Jixiang.
While Zhou Ziqi was here, he immediately divided the two portions of medicinal mud sent by the secret guard into a number of pills.
He had already given Wei Ling the antidote.
Only one pill is needed for this antidote.
Because of the addition of ice blue flower calyx, this antidote is almost a panacea.
If Wei Ling had been able to give the Ice Blue Lotus to Zhou Ziqi, they would have had more antidotes in the future...
Otherwise, Zhou Ziqi would just say that Wei Ling was wasting good things!
