An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 257 Military Counsellor Liu Yinfeng (Part Two)

Looking at the map in silence, Qi Lang didn't look well. After a while, he bit his teeth and said, "Since

you insist, I won't stop you..."

"Don't worry, general. If something happens to the KY City, it's all my fault." Yun Shang looked

indifferently at the map on her table and seemed determined.

As the war was about to break out, Yun Shang asked someone to make a tent. She moved out with her

followers to the camp. They were always dressed like men, and Qian Yin was standing by.

Yun Shang spent every day studying the map, Liu Yinfeng's battle in the past few years, and Xia

Houyan, the Crown Prince of the State of Xia. She also took Qian Yin to the three important places

every day, and checked every inch of the Wind Valley, the Spring Water and the Liuyun Mountain.

That day, she was quite tired as she was searching in the Wind Valley. So she sat by the edge of the

valley to wash her hands. All of a sudden, she heard someone's horse galloping and whispering. Yun

Shang was startled. All the people in the valley now weren't good people, she thought. However, there

was nowhere to hide in the surrounding. Yun Shang quickly stood up and intended to ride away with

Qian Yin. However, it was too late. A light but somewhat majestic voice came from behind. "Stop!"

Yun Shang was shocked. She took hold of Qian Yin's hand and turned around before she decided to

stop.

With the sound of pulling out the sword, a snow-white sword was placed between Yun Shang's neck.

Yun Shang's body trembled heavily. Then a voice came from behind her, still from the man's voice.

"Who are you? Why are you here? "

Yun Shang closed her eyes to calm herself down. She swallowed and said in a coarse voice, "I'm from

the KY City. Because my mother was ill, I needed the seven-immortal herbs to save her. The frontier is

not peaceful recently, and only the Wind Valley has the seven-immortal herbs. The pharmacies in the

city have already been cut off, and no one is willing to come and pick them up. So I have to come here

with my own servant..."

"Turn around." The man behind her whispered, but with a tone that allowed no one to refuse.

Yun Shang kept silent for a while and turned around. She saw the face of the man who took the lead.

He was sitting on the back of the horse in green. He had a handsome and learned face, but there was

coldness in his eyes. There was no expression on his face, which made others feel suppressed. Yun

Shang recognized him at a glance. He was Liu Yinfeng, the famous military adviser of the State of Xia.

Yun Shang didn't expect to meet Liu Yinfeng here, but she didn't reveal any of her emotions to him,

only with some panic and worry. After days of travel, she looked somewhat gaunt, like a filial son who

was worried about his mother.

The man saw Yun Shang's face and was stunned. After a while, he spoke in a lower voice, but less

majestic than before.

Yun Shang glanced at the man timidly, and then lowered her head again. "My mother has poor joints,

and she can't get out of bed now..." Yun Shang said with a more worried look in her eyes.

"Then why I didn't see you pick those seven-immortal herbs?" Liu Yinfeng's eyes passed by Yun Shang

and fell into their hands.

"The effect of the seven-immortal herbs on the wall rock is better. There are several plants on the wall

rock beside the river behind me, but I don't know how to pick them. I wandered around the river for a

while, and I was coming up with some solutions." Yun Shang said unhurriedly. These days, the Wind

Valley was quite frequent, so she was quite familiar with the flowers and plants in the valley. As a

medical expert, Yun Shang didn't find anything wrong with her words.

Liu Yinfeng glanced at the rock behind Yun Shang and winked at the man who raised his sword to

force her. The man put his sword back.

"Go and help this man pick the seven-immortal herbs." Said Liu Yinfeng lightly.

Yun Shang raised her head in surprise and said, "Really? That's so good. Thank you!" Then she turned

around and looked at the man in black next to him, frightened. She clenched her fists and made up her

mind. "Sir, the green and purple grass on the wall is the seven-immortal herb. Please... Thank you..."

The man in black said nothing and jumped up. Yun Shang seemed surprised. She stared at the man in

black, and smiled after he collected the herbs on the cliff.

After the man in black handed the seven-immortal herbs to Yun Shang, Yun Shang took them in a hurry

and bowed to Liu Yinfeng, "thank you."

Hearing this, Liu Yinfeng looked at her expressionlessly. After a while, he asked, "where do you live in

the KY City? I will send these seven-immortal herbs to your house, but you need to come with me to be

the guest."

Yun Shang has expected that her crisis could be resolved so easily. She looked blankly at Liu Yinfeng

for a while, and seemed hesitant on her face. Then she looked at the seven-immortal herbs in her

hand, and sighed, "Well, I'll obediently do it. But I have to write a family letter to my mother. Otherwise,

I'm afraid that mother will be worried about me. "

"What do you want to say? Just let my man do it for you." Said Liu Yinfeng indifferently.

Yun Shang shook her head. "I'm the only child in the family. Because of my mother's poor health, I

seldom go far away. If it's only hearsay, I'm afraid my mother will be worried. I will write a letter to her

and told her that I met a school mate in the past and we would live together for a few days. My mother

wouldn't pursue the matter."

Liu Yinfeng's horse was a little impatient. He called out several times and strolled on the ground. Liu

Yinfeng pulled the reins and nodded. "Write a letter as you wish." Then he asked his companions to

bring a pen and paper.

Hearing that Liu Yinfeng had even brought paper and pen with him, Yun Shang knew that he was here

to explore the terrain, and he must have already drawn the whole map of the Wind Valley in detail. It

seemed that he was really planning on starting with the Wind Valley.

Yun Shang thought for a while and handed the seven-immortal herbs to the man. She took the writing

brush and paper and wrote a letter, saying that she met a previous classmate in the valley when she

collected herbs. It had been a long time since she met him, so she stayed for a few days. Then, she

gave the pen and paper back to his subordinate and said, "My name is Xiao Yun. And I live on the YX

Street in the KY City. I'm glad to have your help."

Yun Shang felt fortunate that she had built a house in the KY City in the name of Xiao Yun earlier in

case of emergency. But she did not expect that it would come in handy like this.

Liu Yinfeng nodded, took the paper, and handed it over to the person behind him. "Do as Mr. Xiao

said." Then he looked up at Yun Shang, "Sorry, Mr. Xiao, come with us."

"Okay." Yun Shang gave a wee smile, but her expression was calm. She stared at the seven-immortal

herbs calmly.

Liu Yinfeng waved his whip and said, "Mr. Xiao, follow me."

Yun Shang immediately asked Qian Yin to mounted the horse and left the Wind Valley with Liu Yinfeng.

But Liu Yinfeng didn't live in the military camp of Xia's army. He just took Yun Shang to a small yard,

which was not far from the camp of Xia. It was a small courtyard. There was peach trees in it, and a

small rockery in the middle.

It seemed that Liu Yinfeng still didn't trust her. Fearing that he would take her to the camp and give her

a chance to explore the situation, he also arranged himself to stay here. But Yun Shang didn't show

any expression on her face. She looked at the peach trees in the yard and said with a faint smile, "The

peach trees in this yard are very beautiful. If spring blossoms next year, the garden will be filled with

peach flowers. I'm afraid that it will be a real beauty."

Hearing this, Liu Yinfeng looked back at her but said nothing.

A middle-aged man came over and looked at Yun Shang in surprise. Liu Yinfeng said gently, "Uncle

Liu, this is my guest. Mr. Xiao, have a good rest." Then he walked past Uncle Liu and entered the

house.

Hearing this, Uncle Liu walked up to Yun Shang, bowed to her and said, "Mr. Xiao, I am a servant. You

can call me Uncle Liu. There are wing rooms on both sides of this yard. Which side do you like?"

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked around with a smile. "I will have the west one. I am lazy

and like to stay in bed late. If the sun is too bright in the morning, I will sleep restlessly. "

Uncle Liu nodded and made a gesture to Yun Shang, "I'll lead you to your chamber."

When the door was opened, the room looked fresh. There were table, chair, desk, and table covered

with a screen painted with bamboo. It should be the bed in the room.

"No one has ever lived here before. I will change the clean bedding for you later. The yard is small. My

master doesn't like to be attended by others. I'm the only one here. If you need anything, just let me

know. " Uncle Liu smiled kindly, with curiosity in his eyes.

Yun Shang nodded repeatedly, "That's good, that's good."

"Please have a rest. It's about dinner time. I'll make some food for you."

Yun Shang said yes, and Uncle Liu left, smiling.

Qian Yin looked anxious. When she was about to say something, Yun Shang covered her mouth. Yun

Shang shook her head at Qian Yin before letting go of Qian Yin. Qian Yin stamped her foot and asked

worriedly, "Mister, who was the man in green just now? Why was he so overbearing? So

unreasonable? The old master has always been taken care of by you. What if he doesn't let you go Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

home? What should we do?" Then she took Yun Shang's hand and drew something on it.

Yun Shang replied with a bitter smile, "Yeah, what should I do? I hope the seven-immortal herbs can

relieve mother's symptoms. It doesn't matter if mother's health is better. There are several maids in the

mansion. But since I'm not around, those maids have been loosened. If mother is bullied by them

because of her poor health... But... " Yun Shang sighed before she finished speaking. She also wrote

slowly on Qian Yin's hand.

After a long time, they talked about something unimportant before they fell into silence.

Yun Shang sighed, "I can't do anything about it. In order to find my mother the seven-immortal herbs, I

haven't had a good sleep these days. I'll have a rest. Call me later."

Qian Yin nodded, and then held Yun Shang to the bed to rest.
