Chapter 185… I’m Fainting from Hunger
After waiting at the door for nearly half an hour, Shen Mingyuan could no longer wait, "Why haven't you come out yet? Did something happen? I knew that the scoundrel was plotting something bad against my brother. Let's just go in now."
Lou Xu hurriedly stopped him. Although the guard at the door didn't understand what he said, he could tell from his posture that he had bad intentions, so he hung his weapon in front of him with some caution.
"Yuanyuan, don't be impulsive, wait a little longer." He leaned close to Shen Mingyuan's ear and said, "Even if we really have to fight, are we going to force our way in with just the two of us? That would be a disaster, wouldn't it? We have to go back and call for help anyway."
Shen Mingyuan deflated and let him hug him, resting his head on Lou Xu's shoulder.
Just then, Xue Zhong walked out with unsteady steps.
Shen Mingyuan immediately recognized this person as the bean sprout who never grew tall: "Little bean sprout!"
Xue Zhong didn't see the two of them at all. He turned around only when he heard the sound. Who were these two people?
"...Shen Mingyuan?" Xue Zhong called out hesitantly. He really couldn't think of anyone else who would call him that.
"It's me. Why don't you recognize me? I've only been back for a few years." Shen Mingyuan was very happy and came over to pat him on the shoulder.
This slap almost knocked Xue Zhong to the ground.
Lou Xu also helped him up without knowing why: "What's wrong? What happened? You fell down when you were touched?"
Xue Zhong was very weak and looked at the two people carefully. "You are not Shen Mingyuan's lover, Lou Xu?"
Lou Xu nodded.
Shen Mingyuan also found it strange: "Why are you the only one coming out? Where is the prince?" He turned around to look, but it didn't look like the Scythian military camp was going to let another person out.
"He may not be able to come out for a while. Let's not talk about anything else for now. Did you two come here empty-handed? Did you bring any dry food?" Xue Zhong said weakly.
Shen Mingyuan: "I can't get out. Why? We brought dry food with us. We came here to send my brother off. We thought we would be able to go back soon. Why did we bring dry food with us?"
The light in Xue Zhong's eyes was completely extinguished.
Lou Xu touched his chest, took out a bag of beef jerky from his clothes bag, and handed it to him: "I brought some, you can eat it first, but it's a little hard."
When Xue Zhong saw the beef jerky, which he usually disliked to eat, he took it and started to chew it with stars in his eyes. However, the beef jerky was so hard that it almost broke his teeth.
Shen Mingyuan took the water bag on his horse's back and gave it to him: "Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you. Drink some water, and be careful not to choke."
He asked Lou Xu: "Why do you still carry food with you?"
Lou Xu said shyly: "Of course I'm worried that you're hungry."
Shen Mingyuan turned his head and smiled.
The two people in front of him were openly showing their affection. In the past, Xue Zhong would have definitely made some sarcastic remarks, but he was really too hungry. He ate half a bag of beef jerky before he had the strength to continue talking.
"Those Scythians are such bastards. Ever since they found me, it's been three days, and they have only given us water and not a single bite of food. I initially thought they would torture us, but who could have imagined they would resort to such a shady trick. If I hadn't met you when I came out, I would have starved to death before I could find my camp." Xue Zhong rubbed his stomach. He hadn't eaten for a long time, and he felt a stomachache after eating a little. But now he finally had strength again.
Shen Mingyuan helped him onto his horse and said, "Do you have the strength to speak now? What happened?"
Xue Zhong shook his head. "I came here with the prince to steal the antidote. I don't know why, but we searched all the rooms but couldn't find it. I told him to go back, but the prince was anxious and insisted on looking for it again. Then we were found." He regretted it deeply. "If I had been tougher at that time, we wouldn't have been caught, and my brother wouldn't have had to come to save us."
Lou Xu reminded: "You left too early. Not long after you left, Knasu went to find Shen Mingjue and gave him the antidote. General Shen's poison has now been cured."
"That's good, that's good. This is also good news." Xue Zhong calmed down, "Take me back first, I really can't hold on any longer, I need to have a good rest."
"Ah Xu, why don't you send him back? I'll wait a little longer. Shen Mingjue and Gu Changfeng haven't come out yet."
Xue Zhong held Shen Mingyuan and said, "Let's go back together. Neither of them can get out, at least not tonight."
"How to say?"
"When I left, I heard a few Scythians saying that Shen Mingjue wanted to take Gu Changfeng away. Kenasu got angry and firmly disagreed. Now he has brought everyone to a newly built house and said that he wanted to marry Shen Mingjue in front of Gu Changfeng!"
Shen Mingyuan was like a firecracker that would catch fire at any time. "He dares!"
Just as he was about to draw his sword and rush in, Xue Zhong hurriedly stopped him.
But Shen Mingyuan was even angrier: "Thank goodness Shen Mingjue treats you as his brother. Now that he's in trouble, you want to be a coward, right?"
Xue Zhong explained with a red face: "Listen to me, I asked you two to go back with me from the beginning, not to keep you away from this place, but to tell General Shen to call for help! With just the three of us, there is no way to bring Shen Mingjue and Gu Changfeng back!"
Lou Xu nodded heavily in agreement: "Yes, Yuanyuan, it's already this time, you should just listen to him. Let's go back and get help now, maybe we can still stop them from getting married!"
Shen Mingyuan stopped talking to the two of them and rode on a horse, asking Lou Xu to take Xue Zhong back. "Stop talking nonsense. I'm leaving first! Go!"
