Warm medicine emits fragrance

The next day, after breakfast, Li Chenbi saw Fan Liuer off.

From the house to the door, he kept reminding Fan Liuer, "Don't come looking for me so rashly next time. You have to trust your husband. I wouldn't let anything happen to me, understand?"

Fan Liuer nodded.

"Also, next time you go out, take more people with you. Just take Feng Ji with you. His martial arts skills are not high, so how can he protect you? This time I picked some people to escort you back. These people are all good at martial arts. Take them with you wherever you go in the future."

Fan Liuer nodded.

"The army will head north next. I'll try to go back before we head north. Just stay home and wait for me."

Fan Liuer nodded.

"Also, try not to go out too much. I don't want you to cause me any more trouble while I'm not home."

Fan Liuer was about to nod when she sensed something was wrong. She looked up at him and asked, "When did I get you into trouble?"

Li Chenbi glanced at her, then reached out and removed the veil from her head, covering her face. "Someone with malicious intentions like Qi Weiming."

Speaking of Qi Weiming, Fan Liuer hurriedly said, "We owe him a lot this time. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have met the Second Young Master. Please don't make things difficult for him."

Li Chenbi was unhappy that Fan Liuer mentioned Qi Weiming, but he also knew that Qi Weiming had helped him take care of Fan Liuer this time.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the gate of the mansion.

The carriage was already waiting at the door, accompanied by Feng Ji, a dozen guards, and a maid.

Feng Ji placed the stool in front of the carriage. Fan Liuer lifted her skirt to get on the carriage, but was pulled back by Li Chenbi.

Before Fan Liuer could turn around, Li Chenbi pulled her into his arms, hugged her from behind, buried his head in the back of her neck, and murmured, "I really want to go back with you."

Fan Liuer was also reluctant; she longed to take Li Chenbi back with her.

This battlefield was far too dangerous; she had no idea what other dangers Li Chenbi would encounter next.

But she also knew that if Li Chenbi could leave, he would have left long ago; he was forced to stay.

She sighed softly, touched Li Chenbi's hand, and whispered, "I will wait for you to come back."

Fan Liuer hadn't spoken such tender words to Li Chenbi in a long time.

This made him even more reluctant to let them go.

At this moment, someone stepped forward to remind Li Chenbi, "Lord Li, the general is still waiting for you."

Li Chenbi cursed under his breath, reluctantly letting go of Fan Liuer. He helped her into the carriage and stood there without moving, watching the carriage depart.

Fan Liuer leaned out of the window and waved to him.

She wore a veil, so neither of them could see the other's face or their slightly reddened eyes.

Finally, Fan Liuer couldn't take it anymore and withdrew her head.

She felt a little sad, reluctant, and even wanted to cry. She realized that parting from someone you really liked could be so painful.

Li Chenbi looked at the carriage and felt an urge to follow it, climb into the carriage, and go home with Fan Liuer.

Let whoever wants to fight this stupid war fight it.

"Lord Li, it's time to go," a servant reminded him.

He turned and glared at the man, his eyes reddening, which frightened the servant so much that he immediately shrank back and dared not utter another word.

Fan Liuer leaned back in the carriage, and it took her a while to calm down. She took off her veil and looked into the carriage.

Li Chenbi never made her feel uncomfortable. The carriage he arranged for her was spacious and comfortably furnished with soft cushions. It was also fully stocked with dried fruit, pastries, and snacks to help her pass the time. In case she got thirsty from eating too much, he even prepared a pot of warm flower tea for her.

Fan Liuer felt a pang of sadness in her heart again.

At that moment, a woman's voice sounded from outside the car door: "Madam, may I come in?"

Fan Liuer remembered the maid she had seen before getting into the carriage, quickly sniffed, raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye with a handkerchief, and then said, "Okay."

The maid opened the carriage door and climbed in. After bowing to Fan Liuer, she said, "Madam, my name is Chuixue. I was sent by Lord Li to entertain you."

Fan Liuer originally thought that Li Chenbi arranged for someone to accompany her because he felt it would be inconvenient for a woman to travel alone without a maid. However, she did not expect that it was to keep her company.

"To relieve boredom?" she asked, her eyes filled with doubt.

Fubuki smiled and nodded. "I grew up in a variety show troupe and I know a lot of tricks. If you'd like to see one, I'll perform one for you right now."

Fan Liuer's curiosity was piqued. "What are you going to perform?"

Chuixue took out a handkerchief from her bosom and performed a magic trick for Fan Liuer.

Fan Liuer was stunned, immediately forgetting the bitterness in her heart, and chased after Chuixue to ask, "How did you do that?"

Chuixue explained the mystery to Fan Liuer and taught her how to solve it. The two of them spent the time like this, and it was noon by the time they finished.

With no villages or towns nearby, the carriage had to stop by the roadside to rest for a while.

After a two-hour carriage ride, Fan Liu'er's back ached from the jolting.

She thought to herself that it was really strange. She hadn't felt anything when she traveled by carriage for three days and three nights to get here, but she couldn't stand it after only two hours on the way back.

"Madam, would you like to stand down for a while?" Fubuki asked her.

Fan Liuer nodded, put on her veil, and said, "Go down and stretch your legs."

As soon as Fan Liuer stepped out of the carriage, Chuixue, who was supporting her, suddenly grabbed her hand tightly and stared intently at the distance along the official road.

Fan Liuer noticed and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

After listening intently for a moment, Chuixue whispered to Fan Liuer, "There are quite a few horses coming from ahead. Madam, please go into the carriage and sit for a while."

Fan Liuer couldn't help but feel nervous, and immediately obeyed Chuixue's words, getting into the carriage.

At this moment, the others also heard the commotion, stopped what they were doing, gripped their swords tightly, and stared intently in the same direction.

Just then, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the woods behind them, wielding long swords and attacking.

"Assassins!" someone shouted, and everyone went into battle alert.

Feng Ji immediately jumped onto the carriage and stood in front of the door with Chuixue.

Upon hearing the shout outside, Fan Liuer's heart clenched, and she gripped her handkerchief tightly with both hands.

She dared not open the window to look out, but could hear the fierce fighting outside. Just then, the carriage moved, which startled her and made her scream.

The sound of snow blowing immediately came from outside. "Madam, don't be afraid, I'll take you away from here first."

Fan Liuer was still nervous.

If she needs to leave first, it means the other side is coming with great force and her people are powerless to resist.

She couldn't help but wonder who had sent these people.

Could it be that Ni Hai's old associates wanted to kill her to vent their anger?

But apart from Yan Qiu and the people around Li Chenbi, no one knew her identity. How did these people find out?

Amid Fan Liuer's anxiety, the carriage turned around and headed towards Qianzhou City.

Feng Ji drove the carriage, while Chuixue turned around and warily stared behind them.

Just then, someone noticed that the carriage was trying to escape, and people immediately came towards it. Fubuki jumped onto the carriage and flicked her hand behind her. The hidden weapon that shot out from her sleeve killed the pursuers.
