A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 127 A Day of Trouble

Before the morning sun rises and the sky is just beginning to brighten, in the military camp's parade ground, a group of soldiers in military uniforms, holding bows and arrows, look heroic, as if ready to go and obey orders.

Yan Zong was dressed in a noble outfit, with the robe draped over his shoulders fluttering in the wind. His eyes were resolute and cold, his face was dignified, and he stepped onto the high platform with his hands behind his back. He looked at the soldiers who were looking at him with respect and admiration and uttered a low and domineering voice that resounded throughout the training ground like thunder:

"Today's training will not be held on the training grounds, but in the deep mountains. I order you to bring your bows and arrows to hunt jackals. Whoever brings back the most jackals will be rewarded handsomely!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

As soon as the prince finished speaking, the soldiers below were silent for a moment, but soon reacted and raised their bows and arrows and shouted excitedly, which also aroused the envy of other camps that were not arranged to hunt.

The soldiers were already bored with the boring drills repeated all day long. They were eager for some new excitement and challenges. When they heard about going into the mountains to hunt, they were naturally ecstatic.

Last night, Yan Zong listened to Arnold's detailed account of how he and Si Yao encountered a pack of jackals in the forest and fought a battle of wits with the jackals in the cave. In the end, they used crude gunpowder to scare the jackals away. Although the process was thrilling, fortunately they got down the mountain safely. Yan Zong was worried and frightened, but he also thought that the jackals were breeding too strongly. Such a large group of wild beasts would inevitably bring hidden dangers to the villagers living near the forest, so he decided to let his soldiers go into the mountains tomorrow to encircle and suppress the jackals, and let the soldiers relax at the same time.

A group of hunting warriors, led by General Da Xixian, marched out of the camp and headed towards the mountains.

"Your Highness, Miss Si Yao is here."

Yan Zong was about to return to the tent when Yu Cheng suddenly came forward to report.

Before Yu Cheng could raise his eyes, a gust of wind blew by, and his Highness had disappeared in front of him, rushing towards Arnold's tent. Yu Cheng turned around and watched his Highness disappear in the parade grounds and laughed happily. Since the death of Empress Leng, his Highness had something to worry about again, and he became lively again.

Si Yao looked curiously at the army heading towards the mountains and forests, and then followed the soldiers into the military camp, followed by Yaotong Xiaolu.

Coming back here again, past experiences began to flood back into Si Yao's mind. He couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions. In just a few short months, it seemed as if he had experienced several years of vicissitudes and many changes had happened, which was really sad.

Because of Yan Zong, Sanxiu naturally disagreed with Si Yao going to the military camp. After all, Arnold was only slightly injured and could be treated by the military doctors. Why did he have to ask his direct disciple? But Arnold was Si Yao's adopted brother, and the two had a deep relationship. This time he was injured while accompanying Si Yao to the mountains to collect herbs, and his disciple personally agreed to Arnold in front of the king yesterday.

Sanxiu knew that his disciple always kept his word and kept his promise. He couldn't let Si Yao break his promise because of his own selfishness. Besides, Si Yao, who had her own ideas, might not listen to him. After thinking about it, he gave up trying to stop him. But he was very worried about letting his disciple go to the camp alone, so he asked Xiaolu to follow him and told Xiaolu to stay with Si Yao at all times. But Mr. Sanxiu was on guard, but he didn't know that Xiaolu was actually sent by the king, and he didn't know that his Sanxiu Medicine Store had been under the king's nose for a long time.

When Yan Zong entered Arnold's tent, Si Yao was sitting in front of the bed giving acupuncture to Arnold's feet. As the saying goes, a left disease should be treated on the right, and an upper disease should be treated on the lower. Si Yao gently pressed on Arnold's injured right foot, found the most painful point, and then gave acupuncture to the corresponding position of the left foot and nearby related acupoints.

Mr. Fan and Xiaolu, who were standing by and watching, noticed that the prince at the entrance of the tent turned around and saluted but did not speak, for fear of disturbing Si Yao and hindering the treatment. Yan Zong just nodded silently, and then looked at the slender and light figure with gentle eyes. Her appearance once again made ripples in his heart, and the originally cold corners of his mouth unconsciously smiled. Perhaps he soon realized that his uncontrollable emotions were pouring out like a flood, and he hurriedly left the tent again.

"Your Highness, why don't you go in?" Yu Cheng, who had rushed over, happened to see Yan Zong wandering outside the tent, so he asked with concern, not knowing why.

Yan Zong said nothing, just glanced at him coldly, then turned and walked away with a sullen face.

Seeing that His Highness seemed a little angry, Yu Cheng was confused. Didn't His Highness rush here to see Miss Si Yao? How come he disappeared outside the tent? And he didn't seem to have said anything wrong, did he?

"Mr. Fan, what's wrong with His Highness?" At this time, Mr. Fan also walked out of the tent. Seeing this, Yu Cheng hurriedly asked.

"When you fall in love with a girl one day, you will naturally understand." Mr. Fan raised his hand and patted Yu Cheng's shoulder, smiling meaningfully.

"Love is so complicated and hard to understand, I'd better not fall in love." But Yu Cheng shook his head with a bitter face. In the blink of an eye, His Highness was so angry, and if he was so crazy in the future, he would probably be kicked back to Shangjing to guard the temple.

"It's too early to say whether you're in love or not. You'll know when you meet her." Mr. Fan was shocked. It would not be good for him not to yearn for the girl he liked at such a young age. He then approached Yu Cheng and smiled softly.

Before Your Highness fell in love with Miss Si Yao, didn’t he also sneer at and disapprove of matters of love?

Yu Cheng's cheeks turned red, and he lowered his head embarrassedly and coughed twice, then turned around and chased after His Highness.

Half an incense stick later, Si Yao took out the needle from Arnold's left foot and changed the medicine and bandaged his right foot.

"Sister Yao, when will my injury heal?" Arnold asked hurriedly, looking at his foot injury. He has always been restless and doesn't want to lie in bed for ten days or half a month.

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You should lie down and recuperate for a while. Remember to apply medicine every day. I will come to give you acupuncture in a few days." Si Yao instructed while packing the medicine box.

"One hundred days? This injury will take a hundred days to heal?" Si Yao's words made Arnold open his mouth in shock. Resting for a hundred days would cost him his life!

"If you stay in bed and rest obediently during this period, maybe it won't take a hundred days." Si Yao knew that Arnold's active personality would definitely not allow him to rest obediently, so she used the hundred days to scare him.

"Be obedient, I will definitely be obedient. I told you that Sister Yao is a great medical skill and will make me get better soon!" Upon hearing this, Arnold immediately smiled obediently at Si Yao, causing Si Yao to laugh helplessly as well.

"Arnold, you promised your sister Yao that you would be obedient. In order to live up to your sister Yao's medical skills, you can't go back on your word." At this time, Mr. Fan also entered the tent again, laughing cheerfully.

"Master Fan, rest assured. I will definitely do what I say this time!" Arnold nodded to Mr. Fan with a firm face.
