No matter how Xu Junjun cursed, Huo Qiming and Chen Liu ran towards her unwaveringly.

What's more, seeing her fleeing back in panic, the two men's eyes flashed with a stronger desire to survive. They took a deep breath and increased their speed drastically.

Xu Junjun was soon caught up by Huo Qiming and the others. Following them were not only the furious Huns, but also a barrage of sharp arrows.

"Are you two blind?

Didn't you see me here?

If I get pierced by these arrows and become a hedgehog, General Huo and General Su will die with me!"

Swallowing the strong wind, Xu Junjun listened to the sound of swords cutting off arrows, and roared at the two men with a sour taste in his mouth.

Huo Qiming and Chen Liu were in a very embarrassing situation.

Especially Huo Qiming, the two arrow feathers on his shoulders pierced through his entire shoulder like an eight-shaped character.

If he had not gritted his teeth and fought with extraordinary bravery, he would have been captured alive by the Huns.

"You're hiding in the shadows like a rat. How do we know you haven't left yet?"

Huo Qiming was also angry, looking at Xu Junjun like a piece of trash, and shouted:

"Chen Liu and I made such a big fuss, but you didn't even get away. You're really useless!"

Xu Junjun was so angry that she fell backwards, her feet tumbling rapidly, and she glared at Huo Qiming fiercely:

"You know nothing! Do you know how long I wasted looking for medicine?"

The pursuers were hot on their heels. Chen Liu knew that Xu Junjun was not fast, so he took off the large package on her back, cut off the arrows, and protected the two of them as they fled up the mountain.

Xu Junjun followed the two men up the mountain, taking one step forward and one step back, to escape.

The Huns chased after them on horseback and watched the three men escape into the forest at the foot of the mountain.

The Huns dismounted and chased forward with swords in hand. Huo Qiming and Chen Liu occasionally pulled Xu Junjun, who could not keep up, and ran towards where their horses were tied.

On the way, Xu Junjun threw poison powder backwards from time to time, which somewhat slowed down the Huns' pursuit.

He shook the reins and drove the horse. When the sound of horse hooves rang out, Xu Junjun took the time to look back.

Looking at the densely packed Xiongnu soldiers running down the mountain, Xu Junjun felt his scalp tingle. He quickly turned around, slapped his horse's butt hard, and ran forward faster.

Huo Qiming and Chen Liu followed behind Xu Junjun. The three horses rode like arrows and quickly disappeared from the sight of the Huns.

This trip was more about luck than strength. Xu Junjun gulped the cold wind and once again deeply realized the power of a person's halo.

The three horses never stopped from the moment they set foot on the track.

On the way back, Huo Qiming didn't even have time to take care of the injury on his shoulder, and kept urging his horse to rush to Qingzhou.

Xu Junjun looked at the veins on Huo Qiming's forehead as he was riding on horseback, and thought to herself that this blind man at least had some sense of responsibility.

During the few days of the return journey, the three of them basically spent all their time on horseback, except for eating and sleeping.

Xu Junjun's butt was almost broken into pieces by the shaking. She was complaining in her heart and her face turned pale.

Fortunately, Chen Liu knew her situation and took good care of her along the way. Seeing that she was riding a horse and walking a little awkwardly, he considerately asked her to rest for another half an hour before continuing.

During this time, Huo Qiming, who was shot in the back, stared at Chen Liu for several times, and then his black eyes fixed on Xu Junjun like a hawk, to see if she was thick-skinned.

Xu Junjun was not a pretentious person. She knew that Huo Zhengfeng and Sun Yun were still waiting for her to go back and save them, and there was no time to waste. Therefore, she did not let Huo Qiming rush her.

After finishing his two mouthfuls of dry food, Xu Junjun mounted his horse and spoke with great vigor:

"No need to rest, let's go."

Huo Qiming was very pleased with her tact, so he also mounted the horse and drove it to continue on his journey.

Chen Liu was behind the two of them. He looked at one and then the other, shook his head, jumped on his horse and chased after them.

Five days had passed when the three returned to Qingzhou.

Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun were in worse condition than before they left. The black poison spreading across their bodies had already invaded their chests. If it went another inch deeper, it would reach their hearts. It would be impossible to save them.

Xu Junjun didn't even drink a sip of water. After seeing the condition of Huo Zhengfeng and his wife, she started to refine the medicine without stopping.

When Mrs. Huo saw them return safely, she was so moved that she burst into tears. But when she saw the arrowhead still on Huo Qiming's back, she felt even more distressed.

While Xu Junjun was refining the medicine, Mrs. Huo hurriedly called a doctor to treat Huo Qiming's injuries.

The arrow head was stuck in the bone, and Huo Qiming suffered a lot when the doctor was removing the arrow.

But compared to this injury, Huo Qiming was more concerned about the progress on Xu Junjun's side.

After locking herself in the pharmacy for a day and a night, Xu Junjun finally came out at noon on the seventh day, holding two vermilion pills.

Huo Qiming had been waiting outside. As soon as Xu Junjun came out of the room, he went to greet her.

"how?!"

Today is the last day of the seven-day period. If Xu Junjun still doesn't get any results, Huo Qiming will explode.

Under the mask, Xu Junjun's eyes were dark blue, which Huo Qiming could not see at all. He threw two pills into Huo Qiming's hands. Xu Junjun was so tired that she could hardly open her eyes.

"Quickly take it to General Huo and the others to take.

From now on, I will sleep for a whole day and night, and no one is allowed to disturb me!"

Huo Qiming caught the pill in a panic, his palms sweating with nervousness. He looked at Xu Junjun intently, then turned around and strode away.

Chen Liu was standing aside. Seeing Xu Junjun yawning, he hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Master Jiang, would you like to have something before going to bed?"

Along the way, Chen Liu had witnessed Xu Junjun's strong inner core and knew that the woman in front of him was bold and careful, and her decisiveness in her bones was unmatched by ordinary women.

No wonder the Imperial Noble Consort regarded her as a good sister.

Ahem, thinking too far ahead, there was a hint of a crack on Chen Liu's face.

In the past, anyone who made irresponsible remarks about their master would be punished by flogging.

When did he become so unruly?

Annoyance flashed across his face, and Chen Liu lowered his head, not looking at Xu Junjun's ugly face again.

Every bone in Xu Junjun's body screamed with fatigue. After hearing what Chen Liu said, she rolled her eyes and dragged her feet towards her room:

"No more eating, I desperately need sleep to replenish my energy.

Unless it’s a big deal, don’t call me.”

Xu Junjun slept until the evening of the next day. When she opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling above her head, she blinked and remembered that she was in Qingzhou.

Her stomach was growling loudly, so Xu Junjun got up, washed her face, and called the maid outside to bring her some food.

Thanks to the two pills refined by Xu Junjun, Huo Zhengfeng and his wife are out of danger. Although they are still sleeping, other doctors have taken turns to see them and they all said that they just need to rest well and they will wake up in a few days.

Upon hearing that Generals Huo and Su were fine, the entire Qingzhou celebrated and the people finally smiled again.

Xu Junjun, who refined the elixir, naturally deserves the greatest credit.

Hearing that she had woken up and was still asking for food, Mrs. Huo came to see her in person.

When Mrs. Huo arrived, Xu Junjun was stuffing meat buns into her mouth, her cheeks bulging like a squirrel hoarding food.

Xu Junjun saved the lives of Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun. Old Madam Huo was extremely grateful to her at this moment. Seeing that she was eating happily, she sat down at the table and served her soup with a smile.

Xu Junjun turned her head and saw Mrs. Huo sitting opposite her. Her eyes widened instantly. After swallowing the meat bun in her mouth, she said to Mrs. Huo:

“Why are you here?

Are General Huo and General Su okay?"

Mrs. Huo smiled kindly and placed the bowl of soup in front of Xu Junjun.

"Thank goodness for you. The doctor said Feng'er and Yun'er are fine now. They just need to rest for a while."

Xu Junjun nodded, picked up the bowl and drank some soup, then picked up the bun and started to bite into it.

After eating and drinking, Xu Junjun wiped her mouth clean, rinsed her mouth with simple tea, and then talked about business with Mrs. Huo:

"Madam, since General Huo and the others are fine, I will leave tomorrow."

Niaoniao gave birth to a child alone in Yunzhou. Calculating the time, the child has been born for almost a month.

She had been in the frontier for such a long time. Now that she had visited her grandmother and fulfilled her final wish, it was time for her to go back.
