My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 643: Qing Shu Yi Qi Decoction

By the time the last citizen walked out of the city gate, the Gate Captain ordered, "Close the city gate!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Following his order, the soldiers quickly pushed the city gate shut and then secured it using several huge wooden planks.

Creak~! Bam!

Hearing the sounds, Fang Shou came out of the command room.

Standing by the city wall, he looked down at the people leaving the city. He watched until the last of them disappeared into the darkness of the night before turning around and returning to the command room.

While tension continued to build in the imperial capital of the Yu Empire, far away in the Jin Empire, Wu Ruizhan and his army finally arrived at the last border town.

Looking at the city gate in the distance, he thought, ’After passing this town, there are only two cities before we reach the imperial capital city. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly.’

As he planned their route, inside one of the horse carriages located in the center of the army’s formation, Jin Cen lifted the curtain of the window. He looked at the border town for a moment before lowering the curtain again.

"Your Highness, after passing this border town, there will only be two cities between us and the imperial capital city," Shi Yixi said.

Jin Cen nodded. "Mhm."

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Shi Yixi thought for a few seconds before asking, "Your Highness, are you worried about the other princes?"

Jin Cen came out of his thoughts and replied, "Imperial Teacher Shi, don’t you find it strange that there have been no assassination attempts since we arrived in the Jin Empire?"

Hearing this, Shi Yixi’s eyes flickered with realization. "Your Highness, do you mean..."

Jin Cen shook his head. "This prince is not sure. Based on this prince’s understanding of my imperial brothers, they would not let this prince return safely."

Shi Yixi pondered his words before saying, "Maybe... they did not dare to do anything since the one escorting us back is General Wu."

Thinking that he was right, Jin Cen’s expression relaxed slightly. "Mhm, you are right. It seems this prince is being overly cautious."

After saying that, Jin Cen took a deep breath and closed his eyes to rest.

Sitting across from him, Shi Yixi lifted the curtain of the window again and thoughtfully looked at the border town in the distance. Nobody knew what he was thinking at that moment.

At the same time, at the rear of the army, Feng Xiyan was sitting inside the iron cage. With a piece of tarpaulin fixed above it, he did not feel the scorching sunlight.

From time to time, a gust of wind carrying sand and dust caused the muslin cloth used to cover the four sides of the iron cage to flutter.

Thanks to the muslin cloth blocking the sand, Feng Xiyan could enjoy the warm wind while reading the reports sent by Feng Er.

Riding beside the iron cage, the escort captain glanced at Feng Xiyan as sweat dripped down from his chin.

Looking up at the darkening sky, he muttered, "The sun has already gone beyond the western horizon, but the temperature is still so hot. How could people survive in this kind of temperature?"

Overhearing his words, the elite soldiers escorting the iron cage nodded in agreement.

"Fortunately, we brought enough water with us. Otherwise, we don’t know how many brothers would die of thirst," said one of them.

When the others heard this, they all looked at the iron cage.

Sensing their gazes, Feng Xiyan looked up from the report he was reading. Raising his brows slightly, he gave them a questioning look.

Caught red-handed for peeking at him, the elite soldiers quickly lowered their heads.

Afraid that his subordinates’ actions would displease Feng Xiyan, the escort captain clasped his fists and explained, "Great General, please forgive them. They just think that your decision to bring more water was correct, so they admire your far-sighted vision."

Hearing this, Feng Xiyan smiled slightly. "The one who had far-sighted vision is Yun’er. It was she who prepared the supplies for us. If you guys want to thank someone, you should thank her."

Listening to his explanation, the captain and the elite soldiers smiled.

"Great General is very fortunate," they said in unison.

Looking at their red faces covered by sweat, Feng Xiyan motioned to the elite soldier walking beside the iron cage and instructed, "Bring a few wooden carts here."

The moment the elite soldiers heard this, their eyes lit up.

Knowing that Feng Xiyan was going to reward them with something useful, they could not help but signal for the elite soldier to move faster.

Under his brothers-in-arms’ urging gazes, the elite soldier clasped his fists and responded, "Yes, Great General. This subordinate will go right away."

Receiving the order, he hurried to the supply team to get a few empty wooden carts.

Before long, he returned with a few soldiers from the supply team pushing the carts. "Great General, here are the wooden carts you requested."

Feng Xiyan nodded and ordered, "Bring them closer."

Unlike Bai Hanyun, who was highly skilled in using her Qiankun Pouch and spatial ring, Feng Xiyan could only store and take out items from a close distance.

After the soldiers pushed the wooden carts closer, he waved his hand and filled them with boxes of Qing Shu Yi Qi Decoction.

Looking at the soldiers working for the supply team, he instructed, "The temperature is high, so we should be careful not to get heatstroke. Distribute the medicine to everyone later. It can prevent heatstroke and treat the symptoms."

The soldiers’ eyes lit up at his words. They quickly clasped their fists and responded, "This subordinate accepts the order."

Just as they were about to push the carts away, Feng Xiyan suddenly said, "Wait."

Stopping in their tracks, the soldiers looked at him.

"Great General, are there any other instructions?" asked one of them.
