The number one rebel of the Great Wu
Chapter 12 How to speak to your benefactor!
"How can someone be so unlucky!"
Chen Changgeng laughed helplessly, then looked up at Jiang Boheng.
The old man was originally somewhat rational and didn't believe in any evil magic or assassins, but after this commotion, his expression became uncertain, and he couldn't make up his mind!
After all, the White Wolf Rebels had suffered countless conspiracies and ambushes on their way from Yunzhou. Not to mention the soldiers, even he himself had been on edge the whole time.
Of the hundred guards who accompanied him at the beginning, only a dozen or so remain...
"Let's...arrest him first."
Jiang Boheng looked exhausted and gave the order in a hoarse voice.
"I will seek His Majesty's judgment after I have an audience with him!"
"Eunuch Chen, please summon the imperial physician..."
"No need!"
"I can save her."
Chen Changgeng suddenly opened his mouth, looking directly at General Jiang without any fear.
In the midst of the chaos, Chen Changgeng glanced at Jiang Baiwei, and after careful consideration, he had already reached a conclusion.
"You scoundrel! Do you intend to harm the young general as well?!"
"General, we must not give her that chance!"
"that is!"
Shouts and shouts arose from all directions.
Chen Changgeng remained calm and composed as he answered.
"I've heard that the White Wolf Righteous Army prioritizes righteousness above all else, yet they've so blatantly slandered innocent people. What face will they have left if word gets out?"
"Besides, the palace is so large that it would take at least an incense stick's time for the imperial physician to come and go."
"The young general has already fainted. If this continues, aren't you afraid of endangering your lives?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Boheng's expression changed slightly. Seeing Chen Changgeng's composed response, most of his doubts dissipated.
He immediately waved his hand.
"Alright, I'll give you that chance."
"Eunuch Chen, summon the imperial physician. You should try to save him as well, but if there's even the slightest mistake, I'll chop off your dog's head!"
With a whoosh, Jiang Boheng drew his sword from his waist.
The cold light flashed, filling the surrounding eunuchs with fear!
Chen Changgeng simply nodded, pushed aside the soldiers blocking his way, and squatted down in front of Jiang Baiwei.
At this moment, Jiang Baiwei's face was as white as paper, her forehead was slightly sweaty, and when she reached out her finger to touch it, she felt a slight chill.
With countless eyes watching from behind, Chen Changgeng couldn't do anything strange, so he could only take her hand and gently squeeze her pulse.
Indeed, it was extremely thin and weak.
"Did the young general have breakfast this morning?"
Putting his hand down, Chen Changgeng asked a question.
Jiang Boheng shook his head.
"We've been driving non-stop for days, and aside from breakfast, we've just had a simple meal at other times."
That's simple, it's just severe hypoglycemia.
Chen Changgeng had guessed this outcome from the beginning, but he didn't want to overthink it; he figured these people probably wouldn't let him off the hook.
Do you carry any candied fruit or sweets with you?
The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. Their rations consisted of flatbread and dried meat; who would carry that on a march?
"We were on our way to deliver a meal to the Empress Dowager. We happen to have a bowl of honey water here; I wonder if that will be of any use?"
The eunuch Chen also quickly stepped forward, after all, human life was at stake.
"It's useful, give it to me!"
Chen Changgeng took the honey water, brought it to Jiang Baiwei's lips, and poured it gently.
Who knew that as soon as she moistened her lips, she spat out the rest of the honey water, which caused her to cough violently as it went down her throat.
Jiang Boheng clenched his fist, and a look of heartache immediately appeared on his face.
"General, order your men to form a circle to cover this area."
"Everyone except you must turn their backs and avoid us."
In Jiang Baiwei's condition, simply feeding her water won't work; she has to be fed mouth-to-mouth.
Furthermore, one must loosen the tassels on the helmet and the collar to avoid obstructing swallowing.
Jiang Boheng was taken aback upon hearing this, but as a veteran of the battlefield, he immediately understood the reason and shouted loudly.
"What are you all standing there for? Turn around!"
His soldiers were always loyal, and they immediately formed a human wall, blocking the surrounding area completely!
Chen Changgeng immediately took action, quickly unfastening several hidden clasps on the armor, then slowly lifted Jiang Baiwei into his arms, supporting her back with his knee and gently patting her a few times.
As he raised the bowl of honey water to his lips, Chen Changgeng hesitated for a moment.
"Young man, go ahead and do whatever you want. As long as you save the person, I'll guarantee your survival!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changgeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took a mouthful of honey water, and brought it closer to those pale lips.
"Hmm!"
With a soft groan, Jiang Baiwei frowned slightly, and unconsciously grabbed Chen Changgeng's arm, instantly drawing blood!
Damn it, he was already dizzy but still had so much strength!
Chen Changgeng winced in pain, and was about to curse inwardly when another sharp pain shot through his lower lip.
Fortunately, Chen Changgeng retracted his tongue quickly, otherwise half of his tongue would have been broken off inside.
Despite the excruciating pain, Chen Changgeng fed Jiang Baiwei two more mouthfuls until her complexion gradually regained some color, at which point Chen Changgeng put down the honey bowl.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave General Jiang a bitter smile.
Jiang Boheng watched the entire rescue process. In the eyes of a veteran like him, feeding water with his mouth was not an outrageous act.
On the contrary, Chen Changgeng was covered in bruises from his granddaughter's actions, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Kid, you've had a tough time!"
"We misunderstood you earlier, and were fortunate enough to be saved by your help. My Jiang family will certainly repay you handsomely!"
Jiang Boheng sheathed his sword, bowed, and immediately turned to give the order.
"White Wolf Rebel Army soldiers, heed my command! Kneel in gratitude!"
The soldiers turned their heads and saw that Jiang Baiwei had recovered to a considerable extent, and all of them showed joy.
Without hesitation, they all knelt on one knee, cupped their hands, and shouted.
"Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"
Perhaps the overwhelming noise was too loud.
Jiang Baiwei, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly frowned and slowly opened her eyes.
She had just fainted, but she wasn't completely without feeling anything.
In the darkness, she felt someone remove her armor and kiss her.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a little eunuch with blood on the corner of his mouth, and his own mouth tasted of blood. He immediately understood!
"You audacious madman..."
"Snapped!"
Jiang Boheng was holding Jiang Baiwei's helmet in his hand at the moment. When he saw his silly granddaughter about to do something by drawing her sword, he threw the helmet at her.
"You scoundrel, how dare you speak to your savior like that!"
Jiang Baiwei covered her head, and when she saw that it was her own grandfather who had attacked her, she immediately lost all her arrogance and instead showed a wronged little expression.
He was clearly being humiliated, so why was his grandfather still on his side?
"Grandpa! Mingming..."
Before Jiang Baiwei could finish speaking, a deafening commotion erupted from the direction of the Imperial Study.
Immediately afterwards, the crown prince was kicked straight onto the palace road by someone.
At this moment, even the crown prince's hat had been torn off, his hair was disheveled, and his gold-embroidered robe was ripped to shreds.
Only His Majesty could discipline Crown Prince Xiao Lie like this in front of so many people!
Just when Chen Changgeng thought he would finally be able to see the emperor's face and thus avoid him in the future, Jiang Boheng suddenly appeared.
"Bai Wei, let's go, let's go with Grandpa to meet the Emperor!"
"Kid, you're coming with us too!"
Chen Changgeng pointed to the tip of his nose, "Me?"
Brother, you're not going to take me to meet the Emperor, are you?
This is outrageous!
But the next second, a furious shout came from the direction of the Imperial Study.
"Little Gengzi!"
"Where the hell have you been?!"
"I command you to appear before me immediately!"
"Otherwise... I, the Crown Prince, will skin you alive!"
Clearly, Crown Prince Xiao Lie is venting his anger on himself!
