Chapter 4369 You Can’t Escape My Grasp
The child said, touching his face with both hands, then turned around and wiped it on Shui Yijun's face.
Shui Yijun screamed strangely, turned around and ran away.
"Come on, you can't escape my grasp!"
The children jumped to catch up.
Her light skills were astonishing, and her entire body was like a cloud of smoke. Qian'er's eyes were dazzled, and there was no trace of her.
The sound of horses neighing in the distance was heard.
It turned out that she had already pulled Shui Yijun on the horse and rode away.
"This girl..." Qian'er patted her chest, "She's simply amazing."
Seeing the young child being so brave, Qian'er couldn't help but feel sorry for General Zhou Xu's fate.
If the child had not been pregnant, she would have shown great power on the battlefield, and General Zhou Xu would not have lost his life.
All I can say is that fate is unpredictable.
After seeing the power of young children, Qian'er was no longer so worried about her and Shui Yijun acting alone.
But she didn't expect that after Shui Yijun and the young child Wen Yiwu left, she would be left alone to face these always arrogant imperial guards, and how to deal with it if something happened.
She thought that the infant and Shui Yijun must leave and return as soon as possible, and she only had to stay in the camp and restrain the forbidden troops from doing anything that particularly disturbed the people.
Unexpectedly, from dusk until dark, and until midnight, there was no sign of them.
They rode horses again for a mere ten miles. Such a long time was enough for dozens of them to go back and forth.
Although Qian'er trusted the child's martial arts and Shui Yijun's wisdom, after all, they were facing a city and a local official who covered the sky with one hand.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if it is just a district magistrate, in such a remote southern land with harsh climate, the imperial power cannot completely reach it.
It is evident that the prefect could refuse indifferently when faced with the arrival of the two eldest princesses.
Qian'er also became more and more worried.
In the middle of the night, it started to rain.
Several imperial guards had high fevers for no apparent reason. The only doctor accompanying them was Shui Yijun. In his absence, there was no one available to diagnose and treat them. Come and report to Qian'er, Qian'er can only give them some medicinal materials to take a look first.
Nowadays, there is a plague everywhere. Although she tries her best to protect everyone, it is difficult to say whether there are any mistakes.
If it is really a plague, this spread of three to nine will soon affect the entire Forbidden Army.
Qian'er didn't dare to slack off. After delivering the medicine, he ordered the centurion to let the three soldiers with fever live alone in a tent far away, separated from the other soldiers.
This was naturally for everyone's benefit, and the Imperial Guards had no objections at first.
But early the next morning, the three soldiers were found dead in the tent.
Wearing a mask, Qian'er personally inspected the soldiers' bodies and found that they did not die of the plague, but were killed after being knocked unconscious.
Everyone was in an uproar.
The south is not peaceful at all. In addition to refugees, there are also rebels who wander around from time to time, as well as bandits and gangsters who take the opportunity to cause chaos and rob homes. The Imperial Guards ate and lived together, and were patrolled, so naturally there were no such worries.
But last night, the three soldiers were isolated, which gave someone an opportunity to steal all the food, clothing, and medicinal materials in the tent.
The Imperial Guards were furious.
When had they ever suffered such a big loss? They immediately went to search for the murderer and avenge the three dead brothers.
Qian'er immediately stopped them and ordered them to stay put and not to move rashly until the children and Shui Yijun came back.
This caused strong dissatisfaction among the Imperial Guards.
