Chapter 687: Heavy Responsibilities and Many Worries
The horses were changed, and plenty of dry food and water bladders were placed next to the saddle, Bai Ze shook off his mind that was not yet fully sober and walked out of the room, and the soldiers at the post station greeted him at first sight, and said, "My lord, everything is ready, my lord will wash his face first, and breakfast will be delivered immediately." ”
Bai Ze saw that the horse had already been saddled, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't eat, just eat dry food on the road, tell your family on my behalf, I'm leaving." Then he went to the well, poured a few handfuls of cold water on the bucket, and awoke him from a dozing sleep, then he went up to his horse, and threw his fists at the soldier, and rode away.
This is already the third post station he has arrived, because the flawless condition is urgent, Bai Yan asked him to rush back to the Eastern Capital with a chapter and letters for 800 miles, along the way only when he arrives at the post station, he will stop to change horses and rest for a night, the weather is unbearable, fortunately he has a good foundation so that he will not be unable to support halfway, but he is already exhausted and extremely tired.
The horses that convey the military information are all good horses, the morning is cooler, Bai Ze no longer restricts the speed of the horses, and after half an hour, he has already left the boundary of the previous city, and he can enter the jurisdiction of the next county through a canyon.
The canyon was very quiet, Bai Zexin ran all the way by the reins, seeing that the terrain was getting narrower and narrower, he took the reins and prepared to slow down, but suddenly felt the earth tremble slightly, he looked up at the cliff above his head, and saw that there was no loose appearance of the mountain rocks, so he flew off his horse and attached his ears to the ground.
A dull rumble came to my ears, it was-
Bai Ze was shocked, got up and jumped on the horse's back to turn back, but after running a few steps, he found that the canyon he had entered was too deep, and even if he tried his best to turn around, he might not be able to avoid the comers, he hesitated, looked back at the exit that was already close at hand, and then gritted his teeth and turned the horse's hooves, and ran towards the exit with all his might.
It's not a landslide or a torrent, it's the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, which can cause such a big vibration that there are countless people who come.
Bai Ze's heart jumped violently and continued to move forward, he didn't know why such a large group of people suddenly appeared, but since the other party was coming for this head, he couldn't take it lightly. He touched the piece and letter in his bosom, then took out the double hammer beside the saddle and held it in his hand. If the situation is chaotic today, and there are anti-thieves everywhere, and you are alone, if you really encounter thieves, it will be really tricky.
The horse was driven to four hooves, and seeing that the exit was close in front of him, Bai Ze shouted and kicked the horse's belly hard, and the horse neighed and jumped forward, and rushed out of the canyon in an instant.
The sun was already shining brightly overhead, and the dusty air was suffocating, and the horses did not regain their momentum after rushing out of the canyon, but they were disorganized by the long winding dragons that appeared in front of them, and their front hooves neighed in the air and stopped.
Bai Ze pulled the reins fiercely, reined in the horse that was intimidated by the formation, and then raised his eyes to look ahead.
The sun was blazing overhead, and there were people standing flags among the black oppressive centaurs, but the light was too strong to see clearly. Although the horse of the post station is a good horse but not a war horse, although it has retracted its momentum at this moment, it seems very panicked, Bai Ze "hooped-" a few times, it did not calm down, but became more and more anxious, when one of the other party raised his voice to ask, the horse was suddenly frightened, and went straight to the other party with a hind hoof.
Worst!
Bai Ze secretly complained to himself, he had not yet figured out who the person was, and at this moment the horse rushed straight to that end, wouldn't he send himself into an unpredicted place. The double hammer in his hand was raised in front of him, he was originally used to protect himself, but when the other party saw that he didn't say a word to hit the horse, he immediately raised the weapon in his hand to meet him, Bai Ze saw this and shouted: "The horse is frightened, don't do it!" Then the voice was drowned in the noisy human voice.
The horse rushed into the opponent's team and rushed left and right, stirring the opponent's team into a mess, Bai Ze was anxious, afraid that the horse would hurt people's lives, and also afraid that the other party would have someone to deal with him, and when he was about to jump off the horse, a silver spear was picked out from behind the person, and it penetrated his crotch and horse legs in just an instant, and then a white shadow broke in, and the horse fell to the ground on the spot with a loud shout.
The gushing blood splashed away, Bai Ze fell to the ground and rolled around, jumped up, and turned to look at the comer.
The man holding the silver spear was a young man, wearing a white robe, not wearing armor like others, seeing Bai Ze looking at him, he shook the silver spear back to his side, and asked in a loud voice: "Are you okay?" ”
Bai Ze shook his head, and before he could speak, a person suddenly rushed out of the crowd and shouted and rushed straight towards him.
"Lord Bai Ze-" The person who came looked happy, Bai Ze looked at it, but it was not Fu Chao who else.
"Bai Ze!" Mu Feng shouted after him, Bai Ze was even more surprised when he saw it, and ran away from them as soon as he put it away, and when he arrived, he first patted Fu Chao's arm, and then clasped his fist at Mu Feng and said, "I've seen General Mu!"
"Great, we haven't gotten any news from Jiuyuan along the way, where is the little marquis?Is it with you?" At first sight of Bai Ze, Mu Feng and Fu Chao couldn't help but feel joyful, they knew that Bai Ze had been following the little marquis, so they thought that Bai Yan must be nearby.
"The little Hou Ye is in Jianzhou, and the Hou Ye is also here, this matter is a long story, I am now on the order of the little Hou Ye to rush to the Eastern Capital to find something, what are you?" Bai Ze looked up at the team stretching behind Mu Feng after speaking, and said in surprise: "Is the general going to Jiuyuan?" Mu Feng nodded, turned around and glanced at the soldiers behind him, and said: "The emperor mobilized 200,000 horses to Jiuyuan to support the defense line, and there were changes on the way, only 100,000 people remained, and now the soldiers are advancing towards Jiuyuan in three ways, and the situation in Jiuyuan is okay now?"
"The Jiuyuan defense line has been fully moved forward, and I was quite stable when I came, but it was ...... General Zhao Mu was captured by the enemy, and now Hou Ye is sitting in Jianzhou, and is trying to rescue General Zhao Mu and recapture the city occupied by Heboduo. ”
"Since the army is no longer in Jiuyuan City, I think we need to adjust our route and go straight to Jianzhou. After listening to Bai Ze's words, Mu Feng looked up and looked ahead, and following his line of sight, Bai Ze saw the young man who had just pierced the horse's leg with a spear.
"Who is this?"
"The son of Lord Su Pintuo, General Su Chongsu, known as the Little Dragon King, is the vanguard officer this time. Before Mu Feng's words fell, Su Chong had already clasped his fists and said to Bai Ze: "In this way, Master Meng Xiaohou is now in Jianzhou?"
Bai Ze couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart when he saw that he only asked the little marquis, but because of the inconvenience of many people, he had to return the salute and said: "That's true, now that the situation in Jianzhou is a little stable, with the addition of the backup army, we have more confidence." ”
"It's so good, when I get to Jianzhou, I want to have a good meeting with Meng Xiaohou. Su Chong laughed after speaking, threw the spear to the deputy general on the side, then looked at the horse that fell to the ground, and said, "This horse is not good, I hurt your horse, so I will compensate you for my mount." After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to pull his horse, Bai Ze saw that the horse was blood-red, it was a first-class sweat and blood horse, and he hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "I don't dare to accept such a valuable horse from the general, and this is a long way to go to the Eastern Capital, I am all from the post station to change horses, otherwise gallop all the way, no matter how good the horse is, I can't stand it." ”
Su Chong saw that he was reasonable, and he no longer insisted, Mu Feng wanted to ask him what he needed to hurry back to the Eastern Capital, but after thinking about it, since the little marquis sent the most trusted person around him to handle this matter, it means that the matter is not trivial and urgent, so he will no longer stop Bai Ze, only pulled a horse from the hands of a person behind him, and asked someone to help unload the things on Bai Ze's saddle and tie it to this end, then turned around and raised his hand and said, "Give way-"
"Take care, I'll come to Jianzhou to meet you after I'm done, General Mu, General Su, Fu Chao, see you later!" Bai Ze didn't delay his horse and left after speaking, and when his figure didn't enter the long line, Mu Feng smiled comfortably and said to Fu Chao: "Now you can rest assured, Hou Ye and Xiao Hou are fine, let's just let the horse go straight to Jianzhou." ”
Fu Chao also smiled when he heard this, and said loudly: "It's the best news I've heard in the past few days, seeing Lord Bai Ze traveling all the way, there must be no obstacles ahead, and we can hurry up in one go." ”
Su Chongfei took the lead in running with the reins on his horse, and said with a smile: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"
"Let's go!"
The courtyard was very quiet, but the summer heat lingered, the half-covered door was gently pushed open, and he entered the house with the tea tray, and saw that Xi Hao was still pressing the acupuncture points flawlessly, so he walked to the table and put down the tea tray, and then came to Xi Hao's side, and said softly: "I made sour plum soup, the weather is too hot today, drink it to relieve the heat." ”
Xi Hao had been carefully pressing the acupuncture points for half an hour, the pain in his fingertips was unbearable, and he trembled slightly, and when he saw this, he hurriedly pulled him and said, "Let me come to the remaining acupuncture points, you go and drink soup, and then rest for a while." ”
Flawless has fallen asleep due to the effect of the drug and the pressure of acupuncture points, and Xi Hao sat down by himself, and when he focused on it, he saw that Flawless's back was already bruised, and he felt a pain in his heart, and sighed: "That is, he is afraid that if he changes others, he will already make trouble." ”
Xi Hao wiped away the fine sweat on his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that he was asleep, so he said: "What can I do if I can't bear it, the poison of Lingshu has been integrated into his blood, and the Netherflower can't be found, except for pressing the acupuncture points with silver needles and constantly drinking medicine, there is really no other way, otherwise how can I bear to see him suffer so much." Sometimes I see him desperately forbearing, I feel really uncomfortable, since I was a child, I don't know how much he has suffered, but I have never seen him cry out in front of people; lingering, I really feel that God is unfair, Flawless is such a kind person, but God wants to force him, let his hands stain blood, and step on countless human lives under his feet, in fact, what he wants is very simple, but he always can't get ......"
"Yes, just like now, he just wants to be by Bai Yan's side, but it won't be long before someone will break this tranquility. ”
"Will it?" Xi Hao was startled by the lingering words, and realized that his voice was too loud, he hurriedly reached out and shook his mouth to look at Flawless, and saw that Flawless still had his eyes closed and did not move, so he breathed a sigh of relief, a little worried, and a little unwillingly said: "Is this really the case?"
Lan Mian didn't answer, only hung his head and continued to press the acupuncture points, but his brows gradually tightened.
When Flawless stepped on the path he had chosen, and countless people slowly gathered behind him, he could not turn back. Such a moment of tranquility is only temporary, now all walks of life must be looking for him to find madness, Dajin is the time of the storm, those forces that disagree with each other urgently need a person who can convince everyone and lead everyone forward, and this person is flawless!
Lingering in a trance, the man lying under his fingertips was so slender, and his thin body made people feel pity when they looked at it, but the burden on his shoulders was heavier and heavier than anyone else.
Flawless still closed his eyes and did not move, the conversation between lingering and Xi Hao did not seem to wake him up, but under the green silk-covered eyebrows, two imperceptible tears slowly rolled down the corners of his eyes, and they disappeared into the soft pillow in an instant, and it was difficult to find them.
