Their group was originally about to enter the city, but they encountered such an urgent matter on the way. Not to mention others, Zhao Yixuan was already anxious to return home, and his heart was filled with a bit of anger.
He even blamed the three young men at home.
They were all so capable, but why couldn't they protect his wife?
It seemed that this young man was indeed incompetent. He had to protect his wife well in the future. He would not believe the words of others.
The carriage galloped in the night.
Zhao Gulian voluntarily gave up the carriage, but he had been traveling in carriages or sedan chairs for the past few years. He was quite unfamiliar with riding a horse, and he was not as skilled as Huo Shujiang.
His face changed the moment his butt, which was used to the soft cushion, touched the hard saddle.
The horse he rode today was Huo Shujiang's.
However, Huo Shujiang gave it up out of gratitude, and everyone was in a hurry to go back. He quietly moved forward, but his face quickly scrunched up when the horse galloped.
No! No! No!
If he really went back like this, he estimated that his butt would be broken into eight pieces.
Left with no choice, he could only quietly call the sharpshooter who had helped him gain face just now with an ashen face.
"You come, let's switch horses," he said quietly.
The sharpshooter looked at him doubtfully, then quickly dismounted and swapped places with him.
However, he did not expect that the horse under the sharpshooter's butt did not have a saddle!
Zhao Gulian's face was even worse than before. He could not bear to look at his warm and comfortable carriage. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
Would it be too late for him to squeeze in now?
Inside the carriage, Zhao Yixuan only wanted to find a doctor for his wife, so he wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly away.
However, the procession kept stopping and moving, and it was a great test of his patience.
He gently placed his wife in the carriage, then poked his head out to urge everyone to hurry up. However, he saw Zhao Gulian dismount and limp in front of him.
"That, Fifth Brother, I have something to discuss with you." Zhao Gulian was a little embarrassed to say it.
However, the pain in his buttocks was real. He didn't dare to walk too fast, lest he aggravate the pain and be the one suffering instead.
"Go ahead." Zhao Yixuan's answer was very brief.
"That's right. Even if we rush back as fast as we can, I'm afraid that we'll delay Sister-in-law's recovery. So I'm thinking, why don't you choose someone who's more agile to ride back and bring the doctor over?"
Zhao Gulian tried his best to make it sound like he was thinking for the sake of the couple.
"What's more, with such a bumpy ride, I'm afraid that your injuries will worsen."
His face was filled with sincerity, but Zhao Yixuan frowned slightly. He actually felt that what he said was somewhat reasonable.
However … "But this is the wilderness. There's no place for us to stop."
Seeing this, Zhao Gulian quickly added, "I've already thought of this. Just now, I sent someone to check ahead. There's a small courtyard not far away. When the time comes, we can go there to rest."
Zhao Yixuan was hesitant.
When they were in the carriage, he had already done a preliminary check on the Madam's injuries.
Although the external injuries didn't seem that serious, the circle of strangulation marks on her neck still made him feel a lingering fear. What if the bones were really injured, or if it caused a lifelong disability or something like that?
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became.
From here to the city, it would take at least four hours.
From here to the city, it would take at least four hours.
If he spurred the horse on, the round trip would only take two hours.
Moreover, the Madam wouldn't have to suffer too much from the bumpy ride.
"Okay, then I'll ask Third Brother to help me send her over first. I'll immediately go find the doctor. When the time comes, just leave one person behind to wait for me on the main road."
Zhao Gulian quickly nodded. "Okay, okay, okay! Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of Sister-in-law. Go and come back quickly, don't delay her. "
"Okay."
Zhao Yixuan's speed was extremely fast. Just as they were heading towards the direction of the small courtyard, he was already so far away that not even his shadow could be seen.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Zhao Gulian didn't sit in the carriage.
But sitting outside was also good. At least his buttocks wouldn't hurt anymore.
The group of people arrived at the abandoned small courtyard steadily.
Before they even got close, the master archer signaled for them to stop first.
He walked to Zhao Gulian's side and said in a low voice, "Master, there seems to be some movement inside. Why don't we look for another place?"
He had only watched from afar and was in a hurry to return to report on his mission. Thus, he didn't know that there were already people living in the small courtyard before them.
Zhao Gulian's face darkened. He said bluntly, "Why should we look for another place? Get someone to chase them out. "
The master archer was a little hesitant.
He was a newcomer and had always been in charge of gathering information or being flaunted by Zhao Gulian like a treasure. He didn't know that Zhao Gulian's way of doing things had always been so domineering.
"Zhao Qing, you do it."
He pointed to his long follower.
The latter immediately nodded and led a few men to the front to clear the area with practiced ease.
Zhao Gulian narrowed his eyes and yawned, but his heart was filled with joy.
He had come at the right time. Fortunately, he had recruited such a new master archer to save Wudi in time and make him owe him such a big favor.
It seemed that this trip was worth it!
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qing's surprised voice came from the front.
"Why are you guys here?"
"Pfft! Get out of my way … You're not going to let me? I think you're really rebelling. Men, take them down! "
But then, for some reason, the group of men Zhao Qing brought seemed to have gotten into some sort of conflict.
Not long after, a short and fat figure stumbled back.
He fell at Zhao Gulian's feet with a thud.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Gulian asked, dissatisfied.
At this moment, Zhao Qing's face was full of fear and confusion.
"Master, the people in front are all from our residence!"
Zhao Gulian rolled his eyes at him. "Didn't you bring them there? What kind of nonsense are you spouting? "
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qing said, "That's not it! They're all Madam's men. When I brought them there just now, they ran away as soon as they saw me. Then, a few martial arts experts ran out and tried to kill me! "
"What?" Zhao Gulian was bewildered.
He knew that his wife was in the Zhao Residence, but he didn't expect to bump into her in the middle of the night in an abandoned courtyard in the wilderness.
Initially, he didn't think too much of it, only wondering what his wife was doing here.
"Look at you! Don't you know Madam's temper? It's you who can't see her clearly and offended her, you dog slave. "
He reprimanded Zhao Qing a few times before tidying up his sleeves.
He decided to take a look for himself.
Moreover, he had to share such good news with his wife.
He also thought that the two of them had to discuss what to do next.
Zhao Qing didn't dare to stop him, but he didn't dare to back down either. He could only follow behind Zhao Gulian timidly.
In his heart, he also felt that the other party might have mistaken him for someone else, but he didn't dare to forget how fierce those people were just now. Every move they made was fatal. If it weren't for his quick-wittedness and the cover of the night, he probably wouldn't have come.
Zhao Gulian passed through a dry cornfield.
As expected, there were many figures in front of the courtyard.
Two of them were lying on the ground, looking dead.
He didn't feel sorry for the loss of these people's lives, just a little dissatisfied.
His wife was really something. She couldn't even recognize her own servant.
"Where's Madam?"
He asked in a fluent and articulate manner, with a bit of a dignified manner.
The figures were stunned. In the next moment, all of them ran back into the courtyard.
Zhao Gulian was taken aback.
"What a bunch of dogs! They can't even recognize their own master standing right in front of them, "he cursed, then walked into the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, before he entered, he heard a rather charming and carefree scream.
Zhao Gulian, who had been immersed in romance for a long time, suddenly changed his expression.
He ignored Zhao Qing's attempts to stop him and kicked open the two dilapidated doors.
Just then, Rui's mother opened the door and came out.
When she saw him, she was scared out of her wits.
"Ma- Master …"
Zhao Gulian's expression was extremely gloomy.
They had been married for decades. If he couldn't even recognize his wife's voice, then he was a fool.
Perhaps, he was just a fool!
"Where's Madam?" He asked coldly.
In fact, at this point, it was unnecessary for him to ask this question.
The group of people inside was silent. Rui's mother felt like she was being roasted on a brazier.
She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything to cover up for Bai Jing, she heard Bai Jing's lazy and hoarse voice coming from the door.
"Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"
Zhao Gulian was furious!
This shameless woman. He had just caught her in the act, and now she's not doing it behind his back?
"Bai Jing, you slut! Get out here right now!"
His hands were trembling, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Their relationship of many years as husband and wife had become a joke overnight.
Bai Jing, who was inside, smiled disdainfully and then slowly walked out.
She was casually draped in a robe. Even her hair was draped over her shoulders, and her face was sweaty. It was obvious that she had 'exercised' inside.
"Why are you here?" As they spoke, she did not feel guilty or flustered at all. Instead, she seemed to be dissatisfied with Zhao Gulian's sudden visit.
"You! You! "Zhao Gulian pointed at her fiercely, gritted his teeth and cursed," Shameless slut! Do you still see me as your husband? Where do you put the Zhao family's reputation? "
Unexpectedly, Bai Jing leaned weakly against the door frame, her eyes full of mockery.
"What? You're allowed to hide rooms outside, but I'm not allowed to have some fun? "
