The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1028

Chapter 1028: 492 Return Fully Loaded (First Update)

Ugh, another one afraid of needles.

The tetanus antitoxin requires a skin test, but since there was no skin test in the small first aid kit, Gu Jiao had no choice but to give Tang Yueshan desensitization injections—dividing the one-time dose into several smaller amounts, mixed with saline solution, and injecting it into Tang Yueshan’s body.

Tang Yueshan was pricked four times in total.

Gu Jiao glanced at the first aid kit.

Was it deliberately tormenting Tang Yueshan?

A gust of cold wind blew past, and the first aid kit was silent as a chicken.

After each injection, there was a brief observation period. Gu Jiao did not idle around; she went to clean up the battlefield, which meant to pickpocket every soldier’s money bag, empty their food supplies, and... lead away the fast horses that the silver fox man didn’t manage to take with him.

It was a true warhorse fit for the borderlands, sturdy and resistant to the cold.

Gu Jiao was very satisfied.

Besides these, Gu Jiao also pulled out the arrows from Tang Yueshan and the leftover rebels of the previous dynasty and even found two high-quality shields.

Tang Yueshan watched her, his mouth twitching fiercely; even the old hands weren’t this proficient!

After cleaning up the battlefield, Tang Yueshan’s last injection was also done.

The two prepared to go and meet up with Gu Chengfeng and the old Marquis.

Adding to the two horses from before, they now had three horses.

Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan each rode a horse, and the third one carried their belongings.

Gu Jiao rode the horse left by the silver fox man; you have to say, a groom’s horse is really different from a commoner’s, not only beautiful and tall but the saddle was also made of gold, truly majestic!

Gu Jiao sat valiantly on the horseback, happily shaking her little head!

Tang Yueshan: "..."

The two continued westward.

Earlier, Tang Yueshan and Gu Chengfeng had found a cave, and after placing the old Marquis inside, Tang Yueshan grabbed his bow and arrows and went back, Gu Chengfeng wanted to stop him but couldn’t.

Gu Chengfeng couldn’t leave the severely injured old Marquis alone to look for others, so he anxiously waited in the cave.

After a long wait, he finally heard the sound of hooves coming closer and closer.

He stepped out of the cave entrance and, with the help of the light reflecting off the snow, looked intently to see who was on the horseback; his hanging heart finally settled back into his stomach.

Gu Chengfeng came over to collect Gu Jiao and noticed an extra horse and a pile of supplies; his brow furrowed with suspicion as he glanced at Gu Jiao—did you go to battle or to rob?

Gu Jiao dismounted.

Tang Yueshan also got off his horse.

Gu Chengfeng saw the bandage wrapped around Tang Yueshan’s thigh: "You got hurt?"

Tang Yueshan opened his mouth to answer, but Gu Chengfeng had already turned his head to look at Gu Jiao, "You didn’t get hurt, did you?"

"No," Gu Jiao said.

She wouldn’t get hurt easily; if she did, her enjoyable life would be gone.

"It’s good that you’re not hurt; give it to me, you go inside and warm up by the fire," Gu Chengfeng took the reins from Gu Jiao’s hand.

Tang Yueshan also handed his reins to Gu Chengfeng.

Gu Chengfeng said irritably, "Tie up your own horse!"

Tang Yueshan laughed, "This is your horse."

Gu Chengfeng: "..."

It was only after Gu Jiao entered the cave that she realized it wasn’t an ordinary one; the entrance was narrow but led to a vast grotto inside—no wonder Gu Chengfeng dared to make a fire, as the light from the grotto didn’t seep through to the entrance.

Whether by a stroke of luck or an act of providence, snow began to fall that night, big flakes like goose feathers covering their tracks.

The three sat around the campfire, with the old Marquis lying on a stretcher beside Gu Chengfeng.

After the long journey, everyone was a bit hungry, and Gu Jiao took a small pot out of her knapsack.

At the sight of the pot, Tang Yueshan’s eyelid twitched fiercely.

How did this girl even bring a pot!

Gu Jiao went outside to collect clean snow, placed it over the campfire to boil, and took out the dry food scavenged from the soldiers of the previous dynasty.

Both Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng had their own water pouches; Tang Yueshan did not.

"Here you go." Gu Jiao handed a water pouch to him.

Tang Yueshan: How do you have everything!

Tang Yueshan, upon receiving the water pouch and seeing the emblem of the previous dynasty’s army on it, realized this was another item Gu Jiao had scavenged from the soldier’s bodies.

When on a campaign, it’s good enough to have something to drink; one naturally wouldn’t fuss over whether a water pouch had been used by someone else. However, the one Gu Jiao gave him was obviously new, and he wondered if it was a coincidence or if the girl had deliberately picked a new one for him.

Tang Yueshan looked at Gu Jiao with mixed feelings.
