C94 (1/2)

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. The news of Mo Feiye falling into the water had been spread, and even after the crown prince had received the news from the servants, he had still not found any news about Mo Feiye. He had sent his soldiers and Army of Mo to search downstream together, day and night.

Since Mo Ranran was rescued, Military Surgeon Wang changed many different kinds of medicines. Every time, the fever would return and it would begin to burn again in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The temperature dropped once again, and the Military Surgeon Wang said worriedly: ”This fever can't last forever, if this continues, my brain will burn out.”

”Then what should I do?” Zhang Heng looked at the sick Mo Ranran lying on the bed, his eyes filled with worry.

Mo Feiye's disappearance was enough to give Army of Mo a headache, but at this critical juncture, Mo Ranran was unable to retreat. If he really lost his mind, how would he explain it to Mo Feiye?

”I have no other choice. What I need now is to hurry back to the capital and see if the doctors at Imperial Hospital can reduce this fever.” There was a trace of dejection in Military Surgeon Wang's eyes. Was he really old?

”But Mo Feiye hasn't found it yet …” After Zhang Heng heard this, a complex look flashed past his eyes.

When he just found out that Mo Feiye had gone missing after falling into the water seriously injured, besides being shocked, deep down in his heart, there was an additional trace of happiness that shouldn't have appeared. Sometimes, he even looked forward to it, hoping that Mo Feiye would disappear just like this, never to appear again, so that no one could stop him from being together with Ranran.

This thought was the Bone Corrosion Poison. Once it appeared, there was no way to expel it.

To him, Mo Feiye had done him a great favor. He knew that he shouldn't have had such thoughts, but he just couldn't control himself, and couldn't help himself from thinking about it.

Military Surgeon Wang hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: ”Let Long Sha and Long Gu stay behind, Miss Mo cannot wait any longer.”

Even if they travelled day and night, it would still take some time to return to the capital. If they waited any longer, even if Miss Mo's health was better than most girls', she wouldn't be able to handle being burned like this.

”You stay here and guard the Miss Mo. I'll go talk to the crown prince.” Zhang Heng was silent for a moment, then made a decision.

After Zhang Heng came out of Mo Ranran's room, he headed towards the crown prince's room.

At this time, Tao Shan was in the Crown Prince's house discussing something with him.

The Crown Prince looked at Tao Shan and said: ”Do you think Mo Feiye knows that we are here to kill him?

How could a perfectly fine person suddenly disappear just like that? Even if he died, there shouldn't be no reason why not even a corpse could be left behind.

”Impossible, I hit him with my own hands, there's no chance of him surviving.” Tao Li's face was cold as he retorted.

However, they were also feeling uneasy in their hearts. If the crown prince was right, then things would become difficult, and they would lose their chance to kill Mo Feiye.

The Crown Prince still wanted to speak, but hearing footsteps coming over, the Crown Prince and Tao Shan looked at each other and did not speak.

”Your Highness, Zhang Heng requests an audience.” Moments later, the voice of a guard rang out from outside the door.

”Let him in.” The crown prince's voice came from behind the door.

”General Zhang Heng greets the Crown Prince, and the close guards.” Although Zhang Heng did not like the crown prince, he still bowed to him in accordance to the rules. Tao Shan's official position was higher than his.

”Why have you come to see me?” The Crown Prince glanced at Zhang Heng, he recognized Zhang Heng, the son of Zhang Shang Shu.

”Miss Mo accidentally caught a cold and has a high fever. Please allow me to bring Miss Mo back to the capital first to treat it.” As Zhang Heng was speaking, he looked at Tao Shan.

The Crown Prince looked at Tao Shan, and then slowly said: ”Can't you recover from the fever?”

The crown prince knew that Mo Ranran was hot, and Tao Shan told him so.

Zhang Heng answered truthfully: ”Yes, Military Surgeon Wang changed a lot of methods, the fever always goes back, and I have been unable to completely recover.”

”I have just discussed it with the crown prince. We will wait for another day, until tomorrow. If there is still no news from the General Mo, we will set out together to return to the capital.” The crown prince wanted to say something, but Tao Shan interrupted him.

The Crown Prince looked at Tao Shan, and nodded, agreeing with Tao Shan's words.

”Then this lowly general will take his leave first.” After obtaining the answer he wanted, Zhang Heng naturally didn't want to stay any longer.

”Guards Tao, if there's still no news of Mo Feiye tomorrow, will we have no choice but to leave?”

”If he really wants to hide from us, we won't find him no matter how hard we try.” Tao Shan paused for a moment before continuing, ”If he wants to do anything, he must appear. As long as he appears, we still have a chance.

Rather than wasting time here, they might as well return to the capital and report this to the emperor to see what they can do next.

”Then let's wait for another day.” The Crown Prince weighed the pros and cons and no longer objected.

They had indeed delayed too long in Mo City this time around.

The next morning, there was still no news from Mo Feiye. Seeing that, the crown prince informed everyone to pack up and left in two hours.

Since the people of General Mo had to guard the border, they stayed behind and did not return to the capital with the Crown Prince.

Long Gu also did not return to the capital with the crown prince. After the group departed, he secretly left the group, walked downstream along the river where Mo Feiye had fallen into the water, and arrived at a hunter's house.

”Vice General Long.” When the hunter saw Long Gu, he used his walking stick to stand up, wanting to kneel down and bow to him.

Seeing that, Long Gu walked forward quickly and supported the farmer, ”Your legs are inconvenient, so there's no need to bow.”

This hunter was once a member of Army of Mo, and had his leg injured during a war. He could not even train ordinary soldiers.
