The disgraced official I took care of was actually Zhu Houcong's childhood friend.

Chapter 513

Unlike Zhu Xianrong and the others, Mu Yunping was, after all, a woman, and Yun Jin directly arranged for her to stand beside him, acting as Yun Jin's bodyguard.

Compared to Hu Zongxian and others, Mu Yunping was quite used to yesterday's forced march. After all, Mu Yunping had lived in the Lijiang mountain area for many years, and whenever there was a rebellion by a chieftain, the roads she had to travel were much more difficult than this.

She had previously led Yun Jin and the Xuanwu Army to quell a rebellion, so Mu Yunping seemed quite relaxed at this moment.

After a full day of forced marching on the second day, Zhu Xianrong, Hu Zongxian, and others gradually adapted to the intensity of the march. Although their bodies were still aching all over, it was not as unbearable as the first day.

"Zhu Xianrong, you call yourself the Crown Prince of Chu? You've only been marching with the lord for two days, and you're already like this?"

Mu Yunping came to Zhu Xianrong's side, looked at Zhu Xianrong who didn't want to move at all, and said with a face full of sarcasm.

Looking at Mu Yunping's relaxed expression, Zhu Xianrong thought about the environment in Yunnan and the situation Mu Yunping had to face, and instantly felt relieved.

"Isn't this because we lack experience? Our Chu Prince's Mansion is not like your Mu State Duke's Mansion, which needs to frequently quell rebellions by local chieftains."

Zhu Xianrong said weakly.

As the two were chatting, they suddenly heard a pig-like scream coming from not far away. The Xuanwu Army soldiers who heard the scream laughed. The two looked at each other, feeling very curious. They walked forward and saw Hu Zongxian shirtless, with his platoon leader massaging his body to help him relax.

However, after two days of intense marching, Hu Zongxian's body had accumulated a lot of body acid, and even the slightest pressure would cause excruciating pain. Hu Zongxian had never felt such pain before and couldn't help but cry out.

"General, what are you doing?"

When Mu Yunping saw Yun Jin come over to watch, she couldn't help but ask.

"This is a relaxation method taught by my second brother. When the Xuanwu Army first started, the training intensity was too high, and the physical burden was much heavier than it is now for you. My second brother said that you should relax and massage after training, otherwise it will damage your body."

After Yun Jin finished speaking, she looked at another Xuanwu Army soldier beside her.

"Why don't you help him relax a bit?"

Yun Jin pointed at Zhu Xianrong and said.

Seeing Hu Zongxian's face turn red and the veins on his hands bulging, Zhu Xianrong was terrified.

"Isn't it life-threatening?"

Zhu Xianrong said somewhat uncertainly.

"Don't worry, it's not dangerous at all, and it's actually quite fun."

The Xuanwu Army soldier was eager to try.

It wasn't until Zhu Xianrong felt that indescribable soreness that he understood why Hu Zongxian had screamed so loudly, because he couldn't help it either.

But after Zhu Xianrong finished the massage despite the excruciating pain, he found that his body felt much lighter. The initial fatigue, exhaustion, and soreness had largely disappeared.

"My lord, why is this so miraculous?"

Zhu Xianrong looked at Zhou Chu, who was eating and watching the show, and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't be surprised. There are many kinds of medical skills, such as acupuncture, moxibustion and massage. This is massage."

Zhou Chu rolled his eyes at Zhu Xianrong.

"I know about massage, but I've never experienced this feeling before."

Zhu Xianrong was even more puzzled.

"That's because you used to live a pampered life, and your body never aches or hurts. Also, the doctors didn't dare to use too much force when they massaged you, for fear of being blamed."

As Zhou Chu spoke, he took out a water bag and drank half of it with great gusto.

"This awful weather is so hot."

Zhou Chu couldn't help but complain.

"Go to sleep, we have to travel tomorrow."

Zhou Chu got up and left after saying that.

When Zhu Xianrong went to sleep yesterday, he couldn't get used to the snoring of the Xuanwu Army around him, as well as the smell of sweat and feet. He tossed and turned for most of the night before finally falling asleep.

But after the massage, Zhu Xianrong actually fell asleep as soon as she lay down, and slept exceptionally soundly.
