Warm medicine emits fragrance

Everyone in the rebel army knew that Li Chenbi had a fiancée, and he even donated half of his family fortune to find her.

Later, upon hearing that he had finally found someone and was about to get married, Li Chenbi had no choice but to go to the front lines again.

Yanqiu had always been curious about what kind of person could drive Li Chenbi to such madness, but he never had the chance to meet him.

Qi Weiming did not refuse. Yan Qiu was on Li Chenbi's side, and with him around, it would be more convenient to take care of Fan Liuer.

The two men took their horses and immediately left the military camp, heading towards Qianzhou City.

Ten miles is a distance that a fast horse could cover in less than a quarter of an hour. However, when Qi Weiming's horse was less than a mile from the city gate, it was stopped.

"Lord Qi!" Feng Ji saw Qi Weiming rushing towards him from afar and waved to him.

Qi Weiming recognized the person, reined in his horse, and asked, "Feng Ji?"

Feng Ji dismounted and walked to Qi Weiming's horse. He glanced at Yanqiu behind him and said to Qi Weiming, "Lord Qi, may I speak with you in private?"

Qi Weiming guessed what he was going to say and said, "Just say it directly, this person is your master's student, and he's helping him."

Feng Ji immediately bowed to Yan Qiu and said, "Madam had not received any letters from Master for a long time at home. Later, she heard the news of Master's accident at the Prefect's residence and rushed over."

"We were hoping to get your help, but we overheard some rebels talking in the restaurant where we were staying. They've set a trap in the city to frame you."

"Madam was afraid that you would rush over as soon as you heard she was coming, so she sent me to stop you. You cannot enter this city."

After hearing these words, Yanqiu spoke first, "Did you all see clearly what the person who said this looked like?"

Feng Ji recalled, "The leader had a beard and looked fierce."

Yan Qiu and Qi Weiming exchanged a glance. Qi Weiming angrily said, "It's your uncle again! Is he crazy? I didn't do anything to him, why would he frame me!"

Yanqiu hurriedly said, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. Here's what we'll do: you go back to the military camp first, and don't return to the city for the time being. I'm going to see Brother Shenbi's wife."

Qi Weiming was worried. "Are you sure you can handle it? I'll go instead. I don't believe your uncle can kill me under the general's nose."

Yanqiu advised, "Wasn't Brother Shenbi also framed right under my father's nose? We are no match for him now, so let's keep our distance for a while."

"Think about it, if something happens to you too, I'll not only have to find a way to save Brother Chenbi, but I'll also have to find a way to save you."

Qi Weiming knew that Yan Qiu was right, and now was not the time to show off in front of Fan Liuer; important matters needed to be addressed.

Besides, it would be safer for Fan Liuer to follow Yan Qiu than to follow him.

"Alright, then you absolutely must protect her. I'm telling you, if anything happens to her, don't just blame Li Chenbi, I'll be the first to come after you!"

Yan Qiu looked at him with a strange expression, "You..."

Feng Ji, worried about Fan Liuer being left alone in the restaurant, interrupted the two, "I'm not comfortable leaving Madam alone in the restaurant. Can we hurry back?"

Qi Weiming urged, "Go quickly, go quickly."

Feng Ji led Yanqiu back.

Fan Liuer had walked around the room countless times before the door was finally knocked on.

She immediately turned around and walked quickly toward the door, but the sound coming from outside made her stop.

"Sir, I apologize for disturbing your rest, but several military officers have come down and want to book all the rooms on this floor. Would you please find another room?"

"We'll move to a room downstairs, which is still an upstairs room. As compensation, we'll refund half the room rate. What do you think?"

Soldier...

Upon hearing those two words, Fan Liuer felt a sense of foreboding.

She could refuse ordinary people, but these people were from the rebel army, and she didn't know which side they were on. If they were the same group that framed Li Chenbi, she would probably get into trouble if she provoked them now.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "That's possible, but my family member is out. What if he comes back and can't find me?"

The person outside said, "It's alright, I'll be guarding the gate. I'll inform him as soon as he returns."

Fan Liuer nodded, "Okay."

After packing her luggage and holding the package in her arms, she opened the door.

The waiter outside the door smiled broadly and led her upstairs, praising her beauty and kindness all the way.

As soon as the two reached the second floor, they bumped into the rebels coming upstairs. The leader was the same long-bearded man from before, but now he had taken off his military uniform and put on civilian clothes. He was leading a group of people, including several girls, and the group was chatting and laughing as they walked upstairs.

As she passed by the pedestrians, Fan Liuer stepped aside and lowered her head.

After the group of people had passed, she turned around and followed the waiter downstairs.

The moment she stepped out, two people rushed upstairs. The one in the lead was Feng Ji, who immediately asked Fan Liuer, "Madam, why have you come out?"

Before Fan Liuer could answer, the group of people who had stepped forward turned around upon hearing the sound.

The bearded man at the head of the group first looked at Feng Ji, and then his gaze finally fell on Yan Qiu behind him.

"Yanqiu? What are you doing here?"

Yan Qiu hadn't expected to be so unlucky, running into his uncle Ni Hai at such a time, leaving him speechless.

Fan Liuer's eyes lit up slightly when she heard the name Yanqiu.

She had heard Li Chenbi mention this name before and knew that he was Yan Qi's second son. He was an upright and kind-hearted man, and Li Chenbi favored him as the future crown prince.

Furthermore, the fact that this person came back with Feng Ji indicates that Feng Ji met Qi Weiming, and that Qi Weiming asked him to come along.

Li Chenbi thinks highly of him, Qi Weiming trusts him, this person is absolutely trustworthy.

The fact that the person behind her was plotting against Qi Weiming suggests that Yanqiu and this person are not in cahoots. However, the fact that this person addressed the Second Young Master by his given name indicates that he holds a high position in the rebel army.

She couldn't let this person know her identity.

With a slight shift in her eyes, she immediately bypassed Feng Ji and rushed towards Yan Qiu, calling out, "Young Master Yan, I've finally found you!"

Yanqiu blinked, dumbfounded, as he looked at the person who had rushed in front of him.

Fan Liuer immediately gave him a wink, saying, "Ever since we parted in Xingzhou, I've missed you so much, but you never came to find me, so I had no choice but to come myself. Are you happy to see me?"

Yan Qiu snapped out of his daze, understood her intention, and immediately said, "Ah, Miss Xiaoqian, I'm so happy! How could I not be happy? As soon as I heard you were coming to find me, I rushed over immediately."

As he spoke, he looked at Ni Hai, forcing a smile, "Uncle, I've come here to pick someone up."

Ni Hai glanced at the woman standing in front of Yan Qiu, her back to him, and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Miss Xiaoqian? Who is this person?"

Yanqiu smiled shyly, "He's someone I met in Xingzhou, just a friend."
