The two escorts happily entered the city as they wished.
This little episode did not leave any ripples in everyone's hearts. The group disguised themselves again and continued on their journey.
On the way, Feng Shan and Wu Meng were driving a horse-drawn carriage. He leaned close to Wu Meng's ear and asked in a low voice.
"Wu Tou'er, did you see what happened before?"
He glanced furtively behind him.
"Tell me, do the Cheng family really have some mysterious abilities, such as communicating with gods or controlling ghosts?"
Wu Meng slapped him on the back of the head.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Feng Shan rubbed his head and muttered to himself.
"Anyway, I think the Cheng family is much more powerful than the Imperial Master. For example, the Imperial Master cannot attract the thunderbolt."
As he said this, he smiled and nudged Wu Meng with his elbow.
"Wu Tou'er, what do you think about us following the Cheng family in the future?"
"Look, even if we complete our mission and hand in our orders, it's already good enough if we can keep our lives. What about promotion and wealth? Don't even think about it!"
Feng Shan continued his analysis.
"But it's different if we follow the Cheng family. If they succeed in their rebellion in the future, we will be, what's that called..."
"Yes! The merit of following the dragon!"
The next second, he covered the back of his head and grimaced in pain.
"hiss!"
"Why did you hit me?"
Wu Meng glared at him and yelled in a low voice.
"Are you crazy or confused?"
He glanced in the direction of the Cheng family's carriage.
"Let's not talk about whether the Cheng family will rebel. Now all the male members of the Cheng family are gone, and only a group of female relatives are left. Even if they succeed, has there ever been a female emperor since ancient times?!"
Feng Shan rubbed the back of his head and muttered to himself.
"If the Cheng family is gone, where will the generals be able to lead the army? The country will soon be destroyed."
"What's wrong with the empress? In my opinion, let alone Madam Cheng, any one of the girls in the Cheng family is better than the one sitting on the throne now!"
"not to mention..."
He looked at Wu Meng meaningfully.
"Who said there are no male heirs in the Cheng family?"
When he said this, Wu Meng was startled and subconsciously tightened the reins.
"Oh—"
He turned his head sharply and looked over.
"What did you say?!"
The movement here attracted Cheng Qiuyun's attention, and she turned her horse's head and walked towards them.
"Captain Wu, what happened?"
Wu Meng suppressed the shock on his face and shook his head.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that Lao Feng said that the wound hurts a lot."
Feng Shan cooperated by covering his wound, looking uncomfortable and weak.
"Yeah yeah."
Cheng Qiuyun nodded.
"In that case, and since it's almost dark, let's go to the front and rest for a while. Let my mother help you take care of it."
The two nodded in agreement.
"Thank you very much."
After Cheng Qiuyun left, Wu Meng grabbed Feng Shan's arm tightly and stared at him closely.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Could it be that Pingnan Hou and the others are not dead?"
Feng Shan shook his head and whispered.
"That's not the reason."
"I also remembered it vaguely when I was unconscious before. The day I entered the village, I ran into Zhao and He Qiang having a secret meeting and heard some of it."
Wu Meng curled his lips and looked at him with disgust.
How come I didn't notice that Lao Feng actually had a habit of eavesdropping on such things?
Seeing his eyes, how could Feng Shan not know what he was thinking?
He waved his hands frantically to explain.
"Don't get me wrong! It's not what you think!"
"I'm not that shameless. I'm not that hungry!"
"Besides, I have a family and I am loyal to my wife!"
"I wouldn't have had time to hide if I saw something like this, but Zhao Jiaojiao's tone was very excited. I vaguely heard something like a man dressed as a woman, but he was actually a boy."
Feng Shan touched his chin.
"I was also confused at first. It was only when Cheng Yuan was taken away that night that I noticed some clues."
"You can see how much the Cheng family loves Cheng Yu'an. He even has to avoid others when going to the toilet. There must be something wrong!"
Listening to his analysis, all the suspicious things in the past were magnified infinitely in Wu Meng's mind.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible!
"Let's rest here tonight!"
Suddenly, Cheng Qiuyun's voice came to my ears.
The two exchanged glances and the topic ended there.
Meng helped Wu Meng and Feng Shan check their wounds, while Cheng Jiuling, her daughter and Cheng Qiuruo made a fire and cooked.
Seeing that there was no emergency on their side, Anluo exited the live broadcast room and prepared to go to the mall to buy some clothes for Zizi.
Dayin is coming this way.
While eating, Mrs. Cheng noticed that her great-grandson seemed a little absent-minded.
He looked listless and depressed.
"What happened to Yu An?"
Yu An reached out and rubbed his eyes.
"Great-grandmother, I feel very sleepy and uncomfortable. My head is swollen."
Old Madam Cheng reached out and touched his forehead and cheeks. When she felt the warmth on the back of her hand, her heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, why is the fever so severe? !
Hearing the sound, Meng hurried over and grabbed the little guy's arm.
After taking his pulse, his expression changed drastically.
She quickly asked Cheng Qiuyun to carry Yu'an back to the carriage, and then soaked a towel with cold water and applied it to the little guy's forehead.
"Mother-in-law, I'm going to go make some medicine for Yu An's typhoid fever."
Old Madam Cheng also got on the carriage.
Tian was watching over the child inside and wiping the sweat off the little one's face. Her tears were falling like beads from a broken string.
Hearing the noise, she looked towards the person who came.
"Grandma, why don't we ask the immortal for help?"
It's too hot. Yu'an is so small, how can he bear it?
"It's so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable..."
Xiao Yu'an closed his eyes tightly, his delicate eyebrows twisted into a ball, and he muttered uncomfortably.
Looking at Yu'an's little face with an abnormal blush, Old Lady Cheng felt conflicted.
Yu'an has been carefully cared for by them since he was young and rarely gets sick.
This is the first time I have been so ill.
Moreover, she had heard in the capital that many children died due to high fever...
"Mother-in-law, the medicine is here."
Mrs. Meng walked in with a bowl of medicine.
Tian gently helped Yu An up, let him lean on her arms, and called him softly.
"Yuan? Wake up quickly. Take the medicine and you won't feel uncomfortable anymore."
Hearing the voice, Yu An opened his eyes drowsily, his little nose twitched, and his little face wrinkled.
"So stinky and bitter!"
Meng handed the bowl to his mouth and took out the candy she had put away earlier.
"Be good, drink the medicine, and I'll give you some sweet candy, okay?"
"Remember this little bunny candy?"
Seeing the familiar packaging, Yu An's eyes lit up and he stretched out his little hand to grab the candy.
"Sugar, fairy sister..."
Yes!
He had to get better quickly and not let his family and Fairy Sister worry.
Yu An took the bowl, holding it as big as his entire face, and gulped down all the bitter medicine in one breath.
Old Madam Cheng rubbed his little head lovingly.
"Yuan is so good."
However, the next moment, Yu An screamed and vomited all the medicine he had drunk.
He was choked and kept coughing, his coughs were heart-wrenching, his face turned red, and finally he fainted.
The three were horrified.
"Yu An!"
