The Female Lead Wants Me to Take My Medicine [Quick Transmigration] 85p2

Chapter 85 p2: Is the Person You Brought Good-Looking?

Hongdou could carry a tripod with ease, let alone carry a sect master. She liked it when no one disturbed her work.

Today, after a nap, Xi Congshuang had recovered as usual and could walk down on her own, which made the subconsciously half-squatting Hongdou stunned for a moment.

Xi Congshuang was also stunned. She asked, “What are you doing?”

Hongdou stood up sheepishly and chuckled. “Nothing, nothing.”

Then she picked up the packed luggage and prepared to go down.

The young man standing by the station master felt that it was cold outside and was impatient from waiting. He complained in a low voice, “What a big shot.”

He was kicked by the station master, and he shut up and stood firm.

Finally, there was movement in the gray cloth carriage. A fair, slender hand lifted the curtain, revealing a youthful and lively face.

The girl in purple was the first to jump out of the carriage, making way for a clean stool for Xi Congshuang to step on.

With such a stunning little girl leading the way, it would always make people subconsciously look forward to the person who would appear next.

However, the waiting people were disappointed. A person in white, wearing a white gauze conical hat, stood on the carriage ruts, tall and graceful, as ethereal as a fairy.

Everything was fine, but you couldn’t see her face.

The girl in purple strode over and raised her hand. “Miss, you can hold my hand.”

A fingertip extended from under the wide sleeve. At a rough glance, it was a bit rough. A closer look showed that it was a gloved hand. She grabbed the girl in purple’s hand and got out of the carriage.

Her white clothes fluttered. Under the torchlight, the face under the white gauze was faintly visible. The person lying on the tree instantly made a decision. This profile was definitely a beauty.

It was said that a fragrant carriage and a fine horse went with a beauty. The fine horse was an old horse, and the fragrant carriage was not fragrant, but dusty. As for the beauty… her back was quite beautiful, but you couldn’t see her face. A fairy-like back was also useless.

The person who had been waiting for a long time was a little disappointed and elbowed the person in black lying next to her. “Let’s go, let’s go back. It’s boring to be so weak.”

The person who was lurking with her did not move. She lay on the treetop and looked out through the gaps in the leaves. Fortunately, the old man and the child’s torches were big enough, or she would have almost not been able to see the situation clearly.

She said with great interest, “Let’s wait a little longer. We haven’t seen much. It’s not good to go back and be caught.”

Thinking of that person who hated doing useless work the most, and might even be severely ridiculed, she did not move either and continued to lie there and watch.

Suddenly, the person in black, who had lowered her mask, said, “Wait, does that old man know her?”

“What?”

As she spoke, the woman in white and the girl in purple beside her were facing the station master and the young man, about to miss each other.

She saw the station master meet the gaze of the person behind the white gauze and nod imperceptibly.

Xi Congshuang’s eyelashes drooped. She didn’t understand, didn’t know, so she walked past the two of them and went in.

The reason she wore a conical hat that reached her feet was not because she was afraid of the wind and didn’t want to be seen, but because she wanted to see everything without being noticed.

Just as she was about to enter the gate, the white-clothed back suddenly turned her head and looked at the tree branch where someone was suspected to be.

“!”

We’ve been discovered!

The two in the shadows were startled and subconsciously suppressed the urge to escape, clinging to the tree like cicadas.

What they should do now was not to escape quickly, as that would only expose their hiding place. They pinned their hopes on her not having discovered them and just having looked over on a whim.

While they were waiting, the two of them quickly went over the situation of the white-clothed retainer.

There were only three people around Xi Congshuang: a young man who would only stare at the little girl in purple in a daze, an old man, and a little girl who would not leave her side for half a step. She would not act rashly.

A medicine jar that only knew how to poison and had been coughing from Yongdu to Fuzhou should not have such good eyesight.

It seemed that things were as they had expected. Xi Congshuang had only glanced at her. Her expression could not be seen through the white gauze, and she quickly turned her head and went in.

No reaction also made one’s heart panic. Let’s go quickly!

The two in the treetop shadows could no longer convince themselves. They secretly cursed, flashed away, found their hidden horses, and with a flick of their whips, they galloped north.

Passing through the hall, they passed by the attendants who were busy setting up a golden nest for the supervising eunuch. The guards were busy eating. They were annoyed enough by the eunuchs’ shouting and did not care about Xi Congshuang and her group who were passing through.

Even if they had noticed, they would have just thought that the station master was being kind and was leading the poisonous Xi Congshuang upstairs.

Just as they were about to go upstairs, the station master suddenly remembered something and said a few words to the young man beside him. The young man walked away reluctantly, heading towards the kitchen.

Back in the room, Hongdou raised her hand to take off Xi Congshuang’s conical hat. She sat on a grand master’s chair, her sleeves gathered, and pointed in the direction just now. “This is what you call everything being arranged properly? You can’t smell such a strong smell of gunpowder?”

The station master broke out in a cold sweat.

The closest place with the most gunpowder stored was only one place—the thirteen camps of Northern Yan.

Fuzhou was within the defense line and was surrounded by Wuzhou like a large palm. If Wuzhou was defended, it meant that Fuzhou was defended, so the garrison did not store too much gunpowder. Nearly 70% of it had been transferred to the thirteen camps for support.

The station master: “The news that His Majesty sent a supervising army to supervise the battle was sent to the thirteen camps more than a month ago. Perhaps the commander of Northern Yan is ambitious and has sent people to scout in advance. This subordinate was negligent. Please punish me, Sect Master.”

Xi Congshuang sneered, “Ambitious.”

The station master knew that he was wrong again. “Please enlighten me, Sect Master.”

Xi Congshuang pretended to be tired, took a sip of the hot tea Hongdou had handed her to moisten her dry throat. The white gloves on her hands were obvious. She put down the teacup amidst the station master’s anxiety.

“Stand by. No rash moves without orders.”

The station master’s heart relaxed, and he quickly retreated.

After everyone had left, Hongdou asked again, “Miss, why are you speaking up for the commander of Northern Yan? Are we still going to ‘hmm hmm’ her?”

Xi Congshuang: “…”

What does ‘hmm hmm’ mean?

After a long while, she remembered that it meant to frame.

Hongdou had been told by Xi Congshuang not to speak casually. Today, there were people from the thirteen camps of Northern Yan nearby. She had listened, but she had not read much and did not know how to refer to it, so she had to muddle through with a verbal tic.

Xi Congshuang gave a universal answer, “I haven’t decided yet.”

“Alright.” Hongdou’s face fell. It must be very difficult to think for so long.

Two horses trampled on the starlight, took a shortcut, and flew back to their starting point. They did not dare to make a sound and went around the courtyard where the commander lived.

They couldn’t wait to go back to their own courtyard. After asking if anyone had asked about them in the past two days, they went to sleep with peace of mind.

The night passed like water. A chicken crowed in the hazy night, and was grabbed by the neck by the cook who had gotten up to cook and was thrown into a chicken coop, which finally quieted down.

The sky was gray. The courtyard gate opened, and two people came out carrying a large wooden box with a gold-rimmed edge. The people who followed behind them were gradually exposed to the daylight. From a bird’s-eye view, they were like a continuous and diligent line of ants.

The supervising eunuch in a magnificent robe was helped out. He had served people all his life. Now that the emperor was far away, he was served until he swayed and got into the carriage.

The remaining small odds and ends were handled by the little followers. They packed up, held them in their hands, and chased after him.

The last ones to be left were, of course, the master and servant.

The little girl in purple had changed into a yellow dress today, which was eye-catching and bright. The yellow hair ribbon fluttered with her movements.

She helped the woman in white into the carriage. God knows how many white dresses Military Advisor Xi had. She wore a different one every day. She didn’t know where the little girl had gotten them from.

Xi Congshuang’s current identity was a commoner on the surface, a commoner with no official title.

So she could only be a military advisor under the supervising eunuch, with no official position, and could be dismissed at any time.

Commonly known as a temporary worker who took the blame.

After seeing off the group of people, the post station returned to its previous deserted state. The station master led his men to clean up and had the cook go and clean the room where Xi Congshuang had stayed.

The cook came in with a basin of water and was not surprised by the exquisitely decorated room. How could the sect master’s room be the same as that eunuch who loved to shout all day? Of course, it had to be carefully decorated.

She took away the clothes and cleaned up before she went out. Later, someone would come and take away all the things, so she didn’t have to worry.

Everything returned to calm. The station master held the young man’s ear and went into the room, preparing to teach this unruly monkey a lesson, so that he could be at ease and tell him his true identity.

With a “clang,” a tall figure who had strode in kicked the door. The two who had done something wrong and had run back overnight sat up in a daze.

The sleepiness that had covered their bodies instantly flew away. They subconsciously lifted the blanket and got out of bed, each looking for the weapon under their bed.

“What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Are the people from the Ye Man tribe here again?”

“I don’t know. I’ve been sleeping in the bed next to you since I came back.”

“They’re not here.” A female voice answered. The voice was very familiar, but it made the two of them even more scared. “I’m here.”

“General.” Two people moved a grand master’s chair to the middle of the room.

The woman in red with civil and military sleeves sat on the grand master’s chair with a carefree attitude, a faint smile on her lips. “What’s wrong? I wanted to ask you what’s wrong. The person the supervising eunuch brought, is she good-looking?”

As soon as these words were spoken, only two words were left in the two of them’s minds—It’s over.

The general found out. It’s over.
