Chapter 7: Brother and Sister Reunite

  "Should he have someone bring him back to camp?" Zhu Yuanshan was not very sure.

  Because of this person's special identity, if he is really from Nanhua, taking him back to the barracks would be very inappropriate.

  "No!" Chu Nan Yang raised his hand to veto the proposal, while simultaneously sprinkling the remaining golden wound medicine on several of Yan Ling Jun's more severe wounds. "Just have two people throw him into a nearby relay station, whether he lives or dies is up to his own luck."

  After finishing speaking, she stuffed the remaining half bottle of golden medicine into Yanling Jun's collar.

  She didn't have much of a relationship with Yanling Jun, and saving his life today was just an accident. She had no obligation to be responsible for this person's life or death.

  Zhu Yuanshan summoned two guards and instructed them with a couple of words before letting them take Prince Yanling away first.

  Chu Nanyang suddenly thought of something and called out to the two again, adding a sentence: "Before arriving at the post station, remember to change your helmets and armor, don't let people see your identities."

  No matter if it was her past life or this life, she always had a gut feeling that Yanling Jun's identity wasn't simple, so it was better to be less involved.

  "I understand!" The two guards took their orders and left.

  Chu Youyang shook his robes and stood up, quickly scanning the surroundings.

  Both sides were reeds and rushes more than twice as tall as a man, making them the most suitable place for an ambush.

  "Far Mountain, go and take care of something for me!" Chu Yan Yang's lips curled up in a cold smile as he spoke seriously.

  Zhu Yushan nodded silently, knowing from her expression that it was no trivial matter.

  "In a moment, you choose two people to stay behind and clean up the corpses and bloodstains here. Also, I saw on my father's map that passing through this reed marsh three miles away should be the Nanhuamen army camp, right?" Chu Jiu Yang said, his gaze piercing through the dense reeds towards some unknown direction.

  "Yes!" Zhu Yuanshan replied.

  Chu Youyang raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly, saying: "That's easy to handle."

  Zhu Yanshan was perplexed and furrowed his brow.

  Zhuo Rouyang made a gesture for him to lean in closer, and then whispered a few words into his ear.

  Zhu Yushan heard this and involuntarily took a deep breath, looking at her in surprise.

  Chu Youyang didn't make any explanation and turned around to beckon another guard standing behind him, "Lu Yuan, come here."

  Lü Yuan's guard walked over, and Chu Youyang also whispered two sentences in his ear.

  Several guards looked at each other, not knowing what she was getting at, but her serious expression didn't seem like a joke. Although they were puzzled in their hearts, they still habitually responded with assent.

  "Are there any other orders from the princess?" asked Zhu Yuanshan.

  Chu Nanyang pursed his lips and thought for a moment before instructing, "Be careful, there must be people with exceptional skills among them. If it's really not possible, don't force it, your lives are important. Also, try not to reveal your identities, prioritize your own safety above all."

  Chu Songyang spoke solemnly, and Zhu Yuanshan also instinctively became vigilant, after making a guarantee, he took people away.

  Chu Youyang didn't linger here either, bringing the remaining three guards to continue rushing towards the direction of Lieyan Valley.

  The terrain of Lieyan Valley is peculiar, with the northern and western mountain ranges originally being two mutually reflecting active volcanoes that erupt at intervals. Once upon a time, this place was desolate and resembled a purgatory, but in the past hundred years or so, the two volcanoes have been abnormal and no longer erupted. Benefiting from the care of these two natural warm furnaces, the deep valley in the middle has a unique climate, growing all kinds of rare flowers and grasses. However, due to the accumulation of too much lava overflowed during volcanic eruptions, the terrain is undulating and difficult to pass through. The mountain walls on both sides often have falling rocks that injure people who enter the valley to collect medicine, so this place is still an absolute forbidden area for the world.

  The road into the valley has one branch from the east and another from the south.

  The mountain road entering the valley from the east is relatively flat, but it's winding and has to take a long detour.

  The road on the south side is steep and treacherous, but it can save nearly half of the time to reach the bottom of the valley.

  In his past life, Chu Qi Feng's accident occurred at dawn the next day.

  Chu Qi Feng worried about her injury, when entering the valley, she would definitely take a shortcut, that is, enter from the south side. When returning with herbs at midnight, due to the darkness and strong wind, she had no choice but to take the mountain road on the east side.

  Moreover, because the road leading into the valley from the south is all precipitous and treacherous, there was no way to set up an ambush.

  Chu Qiyan had to take action, so she could only wait on the road at the east exit.

  Zhuo Rouyang urged his horse on, whipping it to go faster as he galloped straight towards the southern entrance of the mountain valley.

  They ran for nearly two hours, and it was almost dusk. About two miles away from the entrance of the valley, they saw Jiang Liu, Chu Qiufeng's personal bodyguard, leading seven or eight war horses towards them.

  Knowing he hadn't taken a wrong turn, Chu Nanyang's mind slightly calmed down, and with a clear cry, he urged his horse forward to meet them.

  "County Master?" Seeing her arrive, Jiang Liu was clearly very surprised, his mouth agape.

  "Has Second Brother entered the valley?" asked Chu Youyang without giving him a chance to explain.

  "Yes, the road into the valley is difficult to travel and it's impossible to ride a horse. The county king had to walk in with his men, and he ordered the little ones to take the horses to the east exit to wait for him." Jiang Liu replied.

  "No need to go back, I'll enter the valley to find Second Brother and you several bring the horses to wait at the exit over here." Chu Youyang said, instructing Jiang Liu and the three guards she brought along, then immediately rode her horse forward again.

  The closer we got to Lava Canyon, the narrower the road became, with thick vines and creepers making it very difficult to pass through.

  Chu Yunyang had no choice but to abandon her horse and took out her soft whip and long sword from the saddle bag, using the long sword to cut through the weeds and explore the road while following the footprints left by Chu Qiufeng and others.

  The tall weeds could reach her chest and abdomen, but fortunately, Zhu Qiufeng led the way in front of them first, so it wasn't too troublesome.

  Chu Youyang walked all the way, and she wasn't quite clear about the specific terrain in the valley. However, judging from the time when Chu Qifeng had an accident in his previous life, it was unlikely that he would encounter Chu Qiyan's ambush in a short period of time.

  In the thick wild grass, there are many vines with fine thorns that unknowingly scratch many small wounds on the exposed back of the hand and cheek.

  Zhuo Rouyang continued to trudge on, walking for nearly half a day, until the sky gradually darkened, and he saw several figures in front of him, only their chests and heads visible above the grass, their bodies indistinguishable.

  "Brother!" Chu Nanyang almost shouted in excitement, while his feet moved quickly and he stumbled forward two steps.

  The young man turned around, with bright and clear eyes, elegant and handsome, it was her second brother, Chu Qi Feng.

  The heart that had been hanging in suspense for half a day finally returned to its original position at this moment, Chu Jinyang's head felt hot, and he hastily discarded the treasure sword in his hand and rushed over.

  Chu Qi Feng obviously didn't expect her to suddenly appear, and just now when he heard her call out, he was startled and thought it was his own hallucination. He abruptly turned his head, stunned for a moment, then quickly threw away the steel knife in his hand that he used to explore the path and turned around to welcome her.

  Two people trudged towards each other through waist-high weeds.

  What looks like a short distance of only a few dozen steps, but in the eyes of Chu Yu Yang, it is as if the vast ocean has changed over the centuries.

  It was a joy of regaining something lost, filling her heart in an instant.

  Chu Qi Feng finally pounced in front of her, with a long arm embracing her tightly into his arms.

  "Jiu Yang!"

  Digression

  The lovely and warm-hearted brother has also become rough, sisters, you should collect and cherish him. Don't make me feel like it's just the female lead and I who are struggling.
