Chapter 133: This Body Falls
How much space will there be under the seat of this chariot?
Li Wei had never suffered so much, and he felt a sore back after curling up for less than an hour.
She was looking forward to her uncle going on the road sooner, but the more anxious she was, the longer the time became.
Li Wei felt like a huge mountain was pressed on his waist, and it became a little difficult to breathe.
The uncle has not come, if he gives up at this time, he will be scolded by the mother concubine at most.
However, the thought only flashed through her mind for a moment.
Liwu gritted his teeth and began to think of beautiful things, trying to distract himself a little. For example, the swing that Mo Yi tied for her, and the honey he brought. Not... Mo Yi, counting it, he hasn't been here for another two months.
Gradually, the soreness turned into pain, the pain was numb, and he slowly fell asleep while muttering his name.
The huge bump woke her up, and she heard the sound of dense footsteps, the sound of wheels, and the sound of horses' hooves, and she breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart.
Most of the roads in Weicheng are flat, so it looks like they have already left the city.
I felt dizzy, thirsty and hungry.
It's just that she can't come out at this time, and only if this chariot goes far enough, she will have enough opportunities to stay by her uncle and Ziyu's side.
She thought that if she arrived at her destination, she was afraid that she would show up in a grand manner, and her uncle would have no way to send her back to Weicheng, which was thousands of miles away.
However, the idea is always good, and on the third day, the worry is a little unbearable.
My throat was so thirsty that it was about to smoke, and if I didn't think about getting some water to drink, I was afraid that I would really die in this 'natural coffin'.
It is estimated that it was night, and it was silent, and the cover was quietly opened.
Her luck was very good, there was no one guarding the chariot.
Tiptoeing out of the car, the troops seemed to be camped not far away.
The campfire was already lit, the aroma of food lingered in the air, and Liwu began to wonder what was boiling in their hangers.
Eventually, swallowing, she shook her head, knowing that those were not for her.
She looked around again, and by the moonlight she saw a patch of water in the north.
The dryness in his mouth became worse and worse, and he began to trot carefully with the corner of his skirt.
Before she reached the river, she heard the voices of the men talking, looked cautiously, and immediately blushed.
It turned out that the soldiers who had been traveling for a long time were bathing in the river bare-armed.
Liwu decided to go further to the river's parade point, where the water was cleaner.
She quietly hunched up and took a suit of the generals' clothes that were placed on the reef.
Finally arrived at a no-man's position, Li Wu stepped on the small pebbles by the river and squatted down, holding the cool river water and drinking violently.
Whew, I suddenly felt like the whole person was reborn.
The skirt slipped into the water and immediately became heavy.
Li Wei had long thought that this dress was in the way, but he was in a hurry at the time, and he couldn't change his body briskly.
She searched for a small wood, and while keeping an eye on the movements around her, she quietly changed her dress and put on the dress she had just arrived.
It wasn't until I put it on that I realized that this was not a soldier's armor, it was similar to the dress of ordinary people.
Thinking about it, Emperor Rui ordered them to explore the terrain, and they couldn't wear helmets and armor as if they were going to fight, right?
It's just that this man's clothes are still too big, and whether he is worried about tightening his trouser legs or tying his waist, how strange it is to dress.
I was a little upset in the back, so I simply didn't care about it anymore and prepared to return along the road.
By this time, the generals had already eaten and drunk, and most of them had already found a place to sleep.
Li Wu walked lightly to the chariot, not wanting to be dressed strangely, and his sneaky appearance immediately attracted the attention of the guards.
"Stop!" a shout rang out.
I sighed in my heart, but I still walked forward quickly.
The guard became suspicious and hastened to follow.
Li Wei heard the footsteps of the chase, and ran nervously. The road was rough and there was no light, and he stepped on a slippery stone and staggered down.
The guards had already caught up, holding the back of her neck tightly with one hand and twisting her left arm with the other.
Li Wu felt very painful, but he only trembled, lowered his head, and didn't dare to speak.
"Which general are you, look up?" the guard's voice rose two points.
The other guards scattered not far away also noticed the commotion and slowly surrounded them.
Ziyu had just finished chatting with General Hua about the rest of the trip, and happened to see such a scene when she was about to return to her tent.
I didn't want to care about it, after all, these guards have been following General Hua all the year round, and they have been through a hundred battles, and the small commotion can be quickly resolved.
It's just that I was about to take a few more steps when I felt my heart beat violently.
Puzzled, he walked over to the guards who had gathered separately, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Li Wu heard Ziyu's voice, as if grasping a life-saving straw, she turned her head and met his eyes.
Ziyu was stunned, even if his clothes didn't match, even if his hair was messy, even if his face was still filthy, how could he not remember the appearance of worry?
First shocked and then angry, how did she come alone from such a distant place?
Li's eyes were full of water, and Ziyu couldn't help but feel helpless when she saw her pitiful appearance.
With a long sigh, Ziyu pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay! This kid is from the rear army." General Hua asked him to keep in touch with us and keep us back on the situation. Stand down, and let him follow me. ”
When the words fell, Ziyu Chong left the worry and said, "How do you act? Can't even find the way? It's all your own people, why do you look sneaky!"
He immediately realized that he buried his head low again, as if he was shameless.
Seeing this, the generals still had doubts in their hearts, but they slowly dispersed according to their words.
Li Wei stood up, followed closely behind Ziyu, and bowed his head into his tent.
Ziyu looked at her for a moment, handed her the remaining dry food, and said in a cold voice: "Hungry, you can eat some first!"
After taking the worry, she had been hungry for three days, and she had long since eaten without the posture of a daughter.
Ziyu looked at her gobbling up and said, "I'll let ten elite soldiers send you back later, and you can leave tomorrow morning!"
Li Wei choked on his words, and understood that he was angry, and he couldn't explain it, but he kept coughing.
Ziyu immediately poured a bowl of water and fed it to her, and gently patted her back.
Swallowing the dry food with water, Li Wei began to plead: "I have already come out, what are you sending me back for?"
"Where is there such a fool as you! Don't say that it is dangerous to follow me, I'm afraid that your mother is already dying now! Maybe my father already knows!"
"The mother concubine won't talk to her father!"
"Then you have to go back too!" Ziyu's tone was unusually tough.
There's no way out of worry.,I'm going to start cheating.。
"If you don't go back, you won't go back! If you forcibly send me back, I'll go on a hunger strike! Then, even if you come back, you'll have to go to the grave to find me!"
Ziyu was stunned, shook her head slowly, and her voice was weak: "Why are you persecuting me like this?"
"Then why do you persecute me?"
"I can't protect myself now, where can I take care of you?"
Li's voice slowly weakened: "I just knew this and followed." Brother, I'm worried about you..."
She lowered her head, feeling extremely wronged.
Ziyu looked at her with the faint candle flame, and her heart was half happy and half worried.
"How did you come along?" Ziyu asked.
Li Wei replied: "Hide under the seat of your uncle's chariot." ”
"It's always been like that?" Ziyu's brows piled together, he knew that the place was small and the road was bumpy, where was the place where the golden branches and jade leaves could stay?
"I've been there since the eve of my departure, and I didn't come out until I was here." ”
"Worry, what do you want me to do!" Ziyu sighed, feeling a little sorry for her.
Seeing that his tone was a little loose, he immediately replied with a smile: "Naturally, it depends on me, let me follow you!"
Ziyu stared at her and didn't speak.
Liwu's already slender body became even thinner, and his face was so pale that he couldn't see blood. On weekdays, if she wants to stop talking for a day, she can't do it. But she was silent for three days, not eating or drinking, just because she was worried about his brother.
"If you follow me, there will be no high bed and soft pillows. ”
"Sorrow understands. ”
"Two days ago, we will enter the border, and the south is no better than the Central Plains, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants. ”
"I understand. ”
"I may not be able to protect you at a critical moment, just as today, if I don't show up, you may be executed for a crime of misdeeds, and your body will be thrown into the wilderness. ”
"I'm not afraid. ”
Ziyu pressed the corner of her forehead, and she didn't know who her stubborn personality looked like.
"Well, then, if you promise to listen to me for the rest of your life, I'll let you stay. ”
Li Wei nodded vigorously, and stretched out his little finger towards him: "Brother, let's pull the hook!"
Ziyu smiled: "Am I going to rely on you?"
That being said, he gently hooked her little finger.
She was full of joy from her worries, and she endured all the way.
After a while, Ziyu took a pen and paper from the simple case. He sat on the floor, grinding his own ink, and wrote something on the paper with a faint candle flame.
I squeezed over and found that Ziyu had written a letter. All of them were written to his mother, telling her not to worry, to be by his side, and to be well.
Putting down the pen, Ziyu summoned the guards to come in and asked them to quickly send the letter back to the imperial city overnight.
Li Wei obediently hid in the shadows, for fear that others would see her appearance again and make trouble for Ziyu.
Ziyu looked at her back, the white arms that were different from ordinary generals were really eye-catching.
He pondered for a moment, then walked out of the tent and asked the generals to prepare the few things he wanted.
