Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Commander Zhang held his injured arm and watched as they fought in a dazzling manner. It took him a long time to react. The new wave of black-clothed people was here to help them.
Commander Zhang immediately ordered the imperial guards, “Cut down the black-clothed people who are not wearing masks!”
The imperial guards rushed forward. The disparity in strength between the two sides was even, and they even had the upper hand.
Chu Tianbao and the Nine Heavens cooperated. The powerful black-clothed men were far from being a match for them. They lowered their eyes and quickly retreated. The remaining black-clothed men also retreated quickly.
Those who were injured could not escape. As soon as Commander Zhang caught one, the man would bite through the poison in his back teeth and commit suicide.
He turned around and saw that the other men in black were all dead.
It seemed that they would not be able to find anything out.
Commander Zhang was about to persuade the Young General to go back with him. From the looks of it, as long as n.o.ble Consort Ling was intact, Emperor Ling Hui probably wouldn’t do anything to him.
He turned around and saw that he was gone.
Commander Zhang was shocked and heard his Left Guard say, “Commander Zhang, they’re going in that direction!”
Commander Zhang widened his eyes and took a look. Good lord, they had run away in just a short while. The young general seemed to have become a horse.
He slapped the left guard’s head hard. “Don’t you know to ask me to chase after him, idiot!”
The left guard rubbed his aching head and said honestly, “1 thought you weren’t chasing anymore!”
Commander Zhang was exasperated. “Then hurry up and chase after him!”
“Uh-oh—”
If this person ran away from the Three Gorges Pa.s.s, it would be difficult to chase after him again.
Commander Zhang mounted his horse and chased after them crazily. Chu Tianbao was also forced to the edge of a cliff by Nine Heaven.
Nine Heavens said respectfully, “Young General, please follow me back.”
Nine Heaven’s martial arts were a third stronger than Chu Tianbao’s, but because of Emperor Ling Hui’s order not to hurt Chu Tianbao, he could only follow behind and stop Chu Tianbao.
Behind Chu Tianbao was the cliff. Nine Heavens was afraid that he would rather die than return. He flew forward and tried to restrain him.
The moment he stepped forward, Chu Tianbao took out his pistol and pulled the trigger.
Nine Heavens was shocked and barely avoided the attacks at his vital points. The bullet hit his right arm.
In just an instant, Nine Heavens attacked Chu Tianbao again with a normal expression.
An expert like Nine Heavens could not withstand the speed of the bullet at all. Chu Tianbao only used it unexpectedly. His body flashed and he jumped off the cliff without hesitation.
Nine Heavens quickly grabbed, but he could only watch as Chu Tianbao fell into the rapid river.
When Commander Zhang rushed over and saw this scene, his heart immediately rose to his throat and he did not even dare to breathe loudly.
If the Young General was dead and he could bring n.o.ble Consort Ling back, he should be able to keep his life!!!
Nine Heavens stood up and looked in the direction of the river. He suddenly ordered, “Go after n.o.ble Consort Ling.”
As long as he caught up to n.o.ble Consort Ling, Chu Tianbao would definitely appear.
Commander Zhang asked foolishly, “Brother, who are you?” He was stealing credit from him.
Nine Heavens ignored him and reached out to dig the bullet out of his arm. He even took a closer look, as if he felt that this mysterious weapon was interesting.
His arm was bleeding profusely. Commander Zhang kindly handed him a handkerchief.
Nine Heavens glanced at the handkerchief, poured in the medicine, took it unceremoniously, and tied it up. In the next second, he flipped over and jumped. He s.n.a.t.c.hed Commander Zhang’s horse and ran.
Commander Zhang’s face was covered in dirt. He stomped his feet on the spot. Did he still have a conscience? Was he even human!!!
Emperor Ling Hui’s orders were to bring Chu Tianbao and n.o.ble Consort Ling back. Otherwise, he would be killed.
Commander Zhang’s intuition told him that if he followed Nine Heavens, it would be easier for him to find them. He found another horse and quickly followed.
“Tianbao—”
From her nightmare, Bai Wutong recalled the scene of Chu Tianbao falling off the cliff and still had lingering fears.
She touched her stomach. The child kicked twice, as if to comfort her that his father would be fine.
Bai Wutong was still a little sad. She took Chu Tianbao’s doll, hugged it, and kissed it. “Tianbao, how long will it be before you come back? I miss you so much…”
No one responded to her. Bai Wutong sighed deeply and lay down again to close her eyes. The child in her stomach was growing bigger, and it was pressing more on her spine. Even a good sleep was extravagant.
Especially since the weather was hot and humid, it made people extremely irritable. She remained sleepy for a long time before she slowly fell asleep.
It was clearly autumn, but the weather in the southern frontier was even hotter than in summer. The surface temperature at noon was almost 45 degrees.
Bai Wutong’s imperial study room had a special device to dehumidify and relieve heat. It didn’t seem to have any effect anymore.
After all, it was not an air-conditioner, but it was already much cooler than elsewhere.
Xiaobai’s family loved to play together. Now, they were all lying on the ground languidly like boneless fur carpets.
Stinky ran in and stepped on Xiaobai without noticing.
Xiaobai jumped up and was about to howl when it saw that the person was Stinky. Thinking of their friendship over the past few years, it let it go. It fell to the ground listlessly and sprawled out. It did not seem to have any image at all.
Stinky was here to look for Bai Wutong and show her the blueprint of his latest small house. When he saw that Xiaobai was soft and listless, Stinky squatted on the ground and pinched Xiaobai’s handsome double chin. “Xiaobai, are you sick? 1’11 bring you for an injection!”
Bai Wutong had begun to popularize the basic vaccine for the children. Stinky had been injected several times. Sheng Huaixuan said that he would not get sick as long as he was injected. He did not want Xiaobai to get sick, so he wanted to take Xiaobai for an injection.
Lin Yue chuckled. “How can Xiaobai get an injection? It’s a wolf. The doctor won’t give it an injection.”
Bai Wutong had been busy with work. She only thought that Xiaobai was too hot. But when Stinky suddenly said that he wanted to give Xiaobai an injection, only then did Bai Wutong feel that something was wrong with Xiaobai.
She walked closer and saw that Xiaobai’s white teeth were dry and there were skin flakes on its nose. It was panting heavily and its eyes were unfocused. It was obvious that it was having a heatstroke.
Bai Wutong looked at Xiaobai’s wife and children again. Only Xiaobai had such symptoms.
She suddenly remembered that Xiaobai was originally a gray wolf breed that lived in Youjia village. It might not be used to the high temperature.
Bai Wutong asked the dark guard to carry Xiaobai and went straight to Gu Zhongxun’s consultation room. When he saw Bai Wutong, he thought that she was feeling unwell. “Why is the Great Empress here?”
Bai Wutong said, “Xiaobai seems to have had a heatstroke. Please help it take a look!”
Heat stroke was an acute disease. It was so serious that it could even cause convulsions and comas. There had to be a safe way to deal with it.
Gu Zhongxun immediately checked Xiaobai’s pulse. After a while, he said to Bai Wutong, “It’s heatstroke. I’ll prescribe it some medicine and try to prevent it from a high-temperature environment. Drink more water. If it’s really hot, help Xiaobai shave its fur!”
Xiaobai suddenly jumped up and glared at Gu Zhongxun, wanting to protect its beautiful fur.
Wolf fur had the effect of resisting the cold and could also prevent and control skin diseases. It was not good to shave it casually.
Bai Wutong pressed it down. “I’m not shaving your fur.. Behave yourself and take your medicine first!”
