Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Road to Danger
Dong Lingxu had actually realized this problem a long time ago, otherwise he would not have tried all his means to bring down Dong Lingzhixuan, he glanced at Dong Linghan on the side, would he also be worried about that position. What about the pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is still in the cold palace until now, a powerless prince, who will support him.
Dong Linghan's delicate heart, how could he not understand Dong Lingxu's thoughts, "Brother Huang, don't worry, Brother Huang will always support you no matter what." I only hope that when that day comes, the imperial brother will allow the imperial brother to travel around the five countries and see the great rivers and mountains. ”
Dong Lingxu sneered in his heart, even if you are self-aware. "Now my father is vacillating about the choice of the crown prince, and at this juncture he has received such a good thing to be in the limelight. ”
"It's hard to say whether it's good or not, if he can't come back, how much credit will be given to him. Dong Linghan said unintentionally.
Dong Lingxu's eyes lit up when he heard this, for that position, sooner or later they would all meet each other, since the result was the same in the end, why not take this opportunity to strike first, cut the grass and eradicate the root to prevent future troubles.
Seeing Dong Lingxu thoughtful, Dong Linghan knew that his words had already worked, so let you fight well, no matter who died, there was only good for him.
The next day was still early in the morning, Dongling Zhixuan set off as a team, and soon joined Zeng Xing and his party, Zeng Xing was digging rocks in the mountains with 2,000 soldiers. Because the only road to Tongling was blocked by the rocks rolling down on both sides.
Zeng Xing saw King Duan coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage, "Xiaguan has seen King Duan." "Because the ground is full of rubble, there is not so much elaborate etiquette.
Dong Ling Zhixuan put his hands behind his back, looked at the mountains of stones in front of him and asked, "What is the situation now?"
Zeng Xing was not verbose and directly said the difficulties encountered: "After a few days of our efforts, most of these stones have not been moved, and it is estimated that it will take about five days to completely clear a road, and Xiaguan has also sent people to find other roads, and there is no news yet." ”
The most important thing now is time, the longer it drags on, the more people will die, and I'm afraid the daylily will be cold if you wait for another five days.
Dong Ling Zhixuan frowned, now he has to figure out a way, he remembered that he had seen the map on the sand table before leaving, and he vaguely remembered that it was not far from this side, as if there was a river. "Is there a river around here?"
Zeng Xing nodded, he had already sent someone to see the river, "Back to the prince, there is indeed a river not far from here, the locals call it the Rushing River, it originates in the Liu'an Mountain in the north direction, passes through Shengchuan and then detours to Tongling and then to Qinguan." ”
"In that case, can you send someone to try the waterway?" Dong Ling Zhixuan asked.
Zeng Xing sighed, of course he sent someone to try, "But from here, whether it is going to Tongling or Shengchuan, it is a countercurrent, why that river is called a rushing river, because it has a rapid current, and there are dark stones everywhere in the river, and none of the people sent have returned." ”
Dong Ling Zhixuan didn't speak after hearing this, looked in the direction Zeng Xing pointed out, and then got on the horse and went forward.
Xing Diaphragm and Calligraphy and Painting glanced at each other and did not follow, Tong Fei and Ayi rode horses and followed him, and after a while, they heard the sound of the river rushing.
When the three of them came to the river, a river gurgled out of a mountain stream not far away, and by the time they reached them, it had calmed down a lot. There are no extra beaches on either side of the river except for mountain streams, and it is impossible to go up the river. He looked up at the top of the mountain stream, because of the earthquake, many places on the mountain have fallen in large areas, and some even cut a crack in the mountain to the ground.
At this time, it was too unsafe to walk up the mountain stream, if it was just the three of them, it would be no problem at all, but they still had to carry so many herbs and food.
Xingqi and Shushu put down their things, and then went to help with everyone, of course they were delicate and weak to pull stones, they set up firewood and began to boil water, everyone was doing manual work, and the most lacking thing was water.
It didn't take long for the three of Dongling Zhixuan to come back, and the star diaphragm and calligraphy and painting had already boiled water and were distributing it to everyone, only to see him give Zeng Xing a few words, and then Zeng Xing took five hundred people to Qin Guan's side.
Then Dong Ling Zhixuan walked towards the two of them, Xingqi filled a bowl of water and handed it to him, he took a sip and drank it, "You don't have to be busy with calligraphy and painting, did you come out with needles and threads this time?"
Xing Yan nodded, she had already considered this problem, after all, it was going out, and it was inevitable that there would be accidents.
"You and the calligraphy and painting go and get all the flags and sacks. Dong Ling Zhixuan commanded.
Soon the two of them found all the flags and sacks, and neither of them knew what the prince was going to do.
"Make everything into a palm-sized bag, just big enough to hang diagonally. How much can be done in the stepping time. Dong Ling Zhixuan looked at a large pile of things on the ground, and said to the star diaphragm and calligraphy and painting standing on the side, without telling them what they were going to use it for.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Zeng Xing and his entourage returned, all with cloth bags in their hands. Dong Ling Zhixuan instructed everyone to take out the herbs and grain from the carriage and put them in the cloth bags that were recovered. The cloth bags that were driven out by the star diaphragm and calligraphy and painting were also taken and filled, and finally counted, a total of more than 500 bags, the heavy ones were more than 20 catties, the light ones were only five or six catties, and half of the grain and half of the herbs.
In the end, Dongling Zhixuan selected another four hundred and fifty strong soldiers, and the rest were the doctors led by Imperial Physician Mo. Originally, he asked Xingqi and Shushu to go back to Shangjin City on their own, but the two of them had to follow. He didn't say anything more, just instructed a few words, the road ahead is dangerous, and he won't specifically let people protect their safety.
After arranging everything, everyone carried a cloth bag, and Dong Ling Zhixuan also carried two of the heaviest bags on his body, "From now on, we will go to Tongling County from the mountain stream of the rushing river, the road ahead is dangerous, it is very likely that a large number of us will die on the road, and your task is to protect food, medicine and doctors, even if it costs lives, let them arrive safely, do you hear clearly?"
Four hundred and fifty soldiers replied in unison, "Clear"
Then a group of people set off in a mighty way, Zeng Xing watched them leave, and admired in his heart, Duanwang is Duanwang, and it really deserves its name, vigorous and resolute, and decisive.
The road on the mountain stream was completely gone, except for the uneven rocks and uprooted or broken trees, not even a single animal in sight.
