Jing Xunce laughed at Yuan Yerui's unconvinced look. "You're no match for me. I'm kindly advising you to practice some more."
Yuan Yerui watched Jing Xunce turn around and leave. He clenched his fists and suddenly rushed over. He didn't believe a word this man said. Whether he could defeat him or not, he'd only know by trying.
Then the people in the martial arts training ground witnessed such a scene. Yuan Yerui kept sneaking up on Jing Xunce. Without even looking, Jing Xunce just waved his hand and Yuan Yerui was sent flying.
"I say, young master, you'd better give it up. You can't defeat the marquis. You'd better practice some more," a general couldn't stand it anymore. Just look at how many wounds the boy had on his body. He still didn't give up.
To be honest, this boy was really overestimating himself. He dared to say that the boy's martial arts were even inferior to his own. How could he possibly defeat the marquis?
Yuan Yerui stared firmly at Jing Xunce. He fell down again and again but got up again and again. Everyone was shocked by his perseverance. They all stopped what they were doing and watched the two of them. Although it was just the marquis beating the boy unilaterally, it didn't stop them from admiring the boy's tenacity.
When Mu Fengqie brought Zhu Yan over, Yuan Yerui was already black and blue from the beating. He still refused to admit defeat and rushed over, but this time he didn't succeed. He was stopped by someone.
"Let go of me. I'm going to fight him to the death!" Yuan Yerui said fiercely, staring at Jing Xunce.
"Come on, be quiet. The master is here. Do you still want to make a fool of yourself in front of your master?" Zhu Yan grabbed Yuan Yerui's clothes and said.
On weekdays, this little rascal didn't listen to anyone, but as long as Mu Fengqie was mentioned, he would surely be obedient and do whatever he was told.
Sure enough, Yuan Yerui quieted down after hearing that Mu Fengqie was coming, but his eyes were still fixed on Jing Xunce.
Jing Xunce didn't even take this little brat seriously. He was just playing with him.
"Qie'er, why did you come out?" Jing Xunce took off his cloak and put it on Mu Fengqie. It was windy outside. He couldn't let Qie'er catch a cold.
"I was worried about you, so I came out to take a look." After saying that, Mu Fengqie glanced at Yuan Yerui who was still struggling on the side.
"Master, don't worry. I definitely didn't bully this man. I've been letting him off," Yuan Yerui said proudly, looking at Mu Fengqie.
The people around twitched their lips when they heard his words. They thought, "Sir, don't you have any idea of what you look like? You've been beaten like this and you still say you're letting our marquis off. If our marquis gets really angry, you'll be dead."
"By the way, A Che, I want to borrow some people from you," Mu Fengqie said, pursing her lips.
She didn't bring many people out from the Pharmacist Valley. Most of them had been left on the way to prepare for food and supplies. Now she could only borrow people from Jing Xunce. Moreover, she felt more at ease with his people.
"Okay, how many people do you need?" Jing Xunce agreed without even thinking. He put his arm around Mu Fengqie and walked while talking.
The soldiers gathered around were extremely envious. It was really heart - wrenching. Before, they only suffered physically. Now, with the arrival of Princess Tianlin, they not only suffered physically but also mentally.
"I want you to find some reliable people with good light - body skills to look for medicinal herbs." This kind of medicine was extremely rare. Even the Pharmacist Valley didn't have a complete collection, so they had to look for it outside.
Fortunately, they already knew the specific location of the medicinal herbs. They just needed to send someone to pick them.
"This kind of medicinal herb grows on the cliff in the snow. Moreover, this medicinal herb is very rare. It only bears fruit once every fifty years." She didn't know if anyone had ever gone to pick it before, but her father said that fifty years had passed and it was time to pick it.
"Okay, I see. But what does this kind of medicinal herb look like?" Jing Xunce asked.
"I'll draw it for you. Let them take it with them." Mu Fengqie entered the tent and carefully drew a herb on the table. "This kind of fruit only grows on this herb. Father said that this thing is in the Snow Feather Kingdom. You should tell your people to be careful not to expose themselves. It's best for them to come back within half a month after getting the fruit." Only then would the medicinal herb be at its best. That was why she asked for people with good light - body skills.
"Okay, I understand." Jing Xunce took the drawing and went out. In a deserted place, he called the people from the Dark Pavilion. Although he had developed other forces in recent years, he still trusted the people from the Dark Pavilion the most.
After giving the instructions, Jing Xunce didn't go back immediately. Instead, he thought outside for a while. Just now, Qie'er said that this kind of fruit only existed in the Snow Feather Kingdom, and the King Wen happened to be in the Snow Feather Kingdom. This couldn't help but arouse suspicion.
"An Ye, go and check if this matter has anything to do with the King Wen. Remember, you mustn't let them notice," An Ye was the deputy leader of the Dark Pavilion and also his confidant.
"Yes, I understand," An Ye said in the air and then left. No one saw his figure. If it weren't for the voice just now, no one would have known that there was someone beside Jing Xunce.
Maybe it was because he had been highly nervous in the past few days. After the matter was somewhat resolved, Jing Xunce suddenly fell ill. This sudden illness caught everyone off guard.
Mu Fengqie looked at Jing Xunce, who was unconscious with a high fever on the bed, and sighed. Why didn't he know how to take care of himself?
Mu Fengqie increased the dosage of the medicine for Jing Xunce at night. Fortunately, it had a good effect. Jing Xunce woke up in the middle of the night. At this time, Mu Fengqie was already asleep. Jing Xunce didn't wake her up and quietly got up and went out.
The patrolling soldiers were very surprised when they saw Jing Xunce. But under Jing Xunce's signal, they didn't make a sound. Everyone felt relieved. Fortunately, the marquis was okay. Now the only person who could take charge of the affairs was the marquis. As for General Zhang, he had lost the hearts of the soldiers when he selfishly wanted to go out alone.
How could a man who only thought about himself be worthy of being their general?
When Mu Fengqie woke up the next day, her hand that was outside the quilt instinctively reached for the side of the bed. For the past three days, she had touched Jing Xunce's forehead every day, but this morning she didn't touch anything.
She woke up suddenly. Looking at the empty tent, Mu Fengqie put on her clothes and went out. "Where's the marquis?" Mu Fengqie asked the guard outside the tent.
"The marquis is practicing martial arts in the training ground."
Mu Fengqie's eyes darkened and her face sank. The guard beside her swallowed his saliva. He seemed to have said something he shouldn't have.
