Chapter 1222: Arrival on a Starry Night

After traveling without stopping, they finally saw that familiar place at nightfall on the second day, and the group finally breathed a sigh of relief, because they had successfully brought Yishang back to the Western Development Group alive; the task of treating Yishang from here on out was no longer theirs.

Although there was moonlight, in order to avoid being accidentally injured by their own people and to be able to give a signal, they immediately tied up torches; because there was no oil, they chose a type of pine tree in the forest with extremely high resin content, which could burn for a long time after being lit, and they did not have to worry about it being blown out by the wind while moving.

Just like this, they walked toward the location of the Western Development Group, but they also discovered that they had only walked for a short while, and the road had actually become much better; how was this, had they suddenly exerted effort and started large-scale construction?

But there was no time to think too much; they were so tired they were almost unrecognizable, and in order to arrive at the place today, they had barely rested for an entire day, and now while walking, they felt they could fall asleep.

The people of the Western Development Group were already fast asleep, and only some herdsmen on night watch remained awake, because they had to guard against wild beasts to prevent them from attacking the livestock.

The entire Laborer team was camping on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, and the dense, crowded Tents actually gave those Soldiers a start.

"Good Heaven, why are there so many Tents here!"

The other Soldiers looked in the direction the man was pointing, and sure enough, there were many Tents, but those with sharp eyes had already recognized what they were.

"Aren't those the Tents of the Engineering Team, the ones where the people of the Xuanyuan Tribe live? We saw them when we were on the road; what, can't you remember? Is your head already muddled?"

"It really is, don't say it, I feel like I can barely keep my eyes open now; hurry up the mountain, I need to rest immediately, I haven't had a good sleep for a long, long time."

Yishang, who was in a stupor, was also woken up by the sound of the conversation, and he said groggily: "Where have we arrived, why aren't we resting yet?"

The Soldier carrying Yishang hurriedly said: "General, we have already arrived at the Western Development Group, we will be there in just a few more steps, please hold on!"

Yishang's thinking gradually became clear: "Ah, arrived at the Western Development Group, so fast?"

"Why is it still dark now, you didn't stop for the whole day."

The Soldier could only smile and say: "General, if you don't arrive at the Western Development Group early, how can we be at ease? Only by letting you arrive at the place early can we dare to rest."

Yishang was silent for a few seconds before saying: "Rest assured, what I promised you, I will definitely give to you."

The Soldiers did not reply; they could not refuse, but to directly say thank you to Yishang would make them feel very mercenary; could it be that they had worked so hard to save Yishang just to receive Yishang's reward?

It was not; it was still because they respected Yishang, after all, he was an elder of Huaxia, and he had made such great contributions to Huaxia; it was what they should do.

Furthermore, this was also their mission; as Soldiers, since the order had been issued to them, they had to execute it, even if it meant risking their own lives, the mission had to be executed well.

However, they were very lucky; the mission was about to be successfully completed, and now they were truly only one step away from the mountaintop.

But before they could celebrate, they heard someone shouting not far away: "Hey! Stop! What are you doing, in the middle of the night!"

The Soldiers looked everywhere, but they could not see anyone; after all, even with moonlight, the night was not as bright as the day, but now that they had arrived on their own territory, they were not afraid at all, and if someone could come to help, that would be the best.

"We are Soldiers of Huaxia City! General Yishang is ill, we have sent him here for treatment!"

The herdsman was also stunned when he heard this, because this news was a bit too shocking; they still knew of Yishang, after all, he had been here before, and they had seen him, although they had only seen him from afar once, they all knew that Yishang was an incredible person in Huaxia.

Now that he was actually being sent here by others in the middle of the night, the situation was likely quite critical; the few herdsmen on night watch conferred and immediately sent one of their own to lead the way and call for people.

"You go up the mountain first, I will come over right now to find people for you!"

The Soldiers were all happy when they heard this; this time there was truly someone who could help them, and if they could arrange a room for them to stay in, that would be the best, letting them sleep well for a night; they hadn't had a good sleep for several days.

The herdsman was familiar with the path and quickly caught up to them; looking at the Soldiers' attire, he knew it must be true, and there was indeed no one here who could fake it; not to mention there were no other tribes nearby, even if there were, they wouldn't know the names of Huaxia City and Yishang, nor would they know to come here for treatment.

Besides, with just this many people, what could they do on such a large territory of theirs? At most, they could set a fire.

"What happened to General Yishang, why did he suddenly come back?"

The Soldier hurriedly said: "We encountered heavy Snow on the road, the General became ill, it is quite serious, and there is no medicine, so we had to rush back for treatment; we traveled without stopping for a long time to get here."

"Alright brother, let's not talk about this, hurry and take us up, find the doctor here, and treat the General!"

The herdsman nodded repeatedly, and then his pace quickened.

The doctor Yuzhu had long since fallen into a deep sleep, extremely comfortable, especially after moving into a new house.

The Engineering Team had built many new houses this time, and someone as important as him would definitely be among the first to be allocated one; now the room was large and tidy, and warm, with Grass spread on the bed, and then a layer of animal skin spread on top and two layers for covering, comfortable to the extreme, the kind of comfort where you could fall asleep as soon as you lay down.

If you sleep well enough, you won't have dreams, so it has always been "good night, no dreams," and it shouldn't be "good night, sweet dreams"; any good dream just means you didn't sleep well.

Yuzhu, who originally hadn't been dreaming, suddenly dreamed that the sky was raining, and the water on the grassland was rising; he was a little scared, and the thunder was also very loud.

Boom—!

Yuzhu hugged the animal skin quilt tighter, Boom—! The sound was louder and more urgent, and Yuzhu also suddenly woke up; only then did he realize that his door was being pounded on urgently.

Yuzhu rubbed his eyes, casually stepped into his shoes, wrapped himself in the animal skin quilt, and got out of bed: "Who is it, in the middle of the night, it's not dawn yet, is it?"

"Doctor Yuzhu, open the door quickly, General Yishang is seriously ill, we have brought him back, come and take a look quickly!"

Yuzhu's sleepiness was scared away in an instant.
