Desert, as far as the eye can see. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The wind and sand are rolling and whistling.

The sun was so blinding that they could barely open their eyes.

When they came out of the Demon Mountain, they appeared in the desert, and after adapting to the light, Li Tianqi recognized this as the land of the desert north.

I never wanted to enter the Thousand Miles Demon Mountain on Mount Hua, but when I came out, I would appear in this desert north land.

Li Tianqi couldn't help but secretly sigh at the mystery of this heaven and earth mysticism.

"Boom, Boom—" A burst of feathered arrows burst through the air.

"Be careful!" Zork shouted, waving his sleeves to sweep at the feathered arrows.

But the feathered arrows were clearly not meant to hurt them, but as a warning. The arrows landed about a foot away from them.

"Woo-" The sound of a thick horn suddenly sounded, and the Turkic soldiers who appeared like a tide appeared in the northwest direction.

This large number of Turkic legions, composed of thousands of well-equipped foot soldiers on both wings of the iron cavalry, were slowly walking towards Li Tianqi and the others with the sound of the horn.

"Huo-Huo-" With the sound of earth-shattering shouts, the armored Tang army team walked out of the southeast direction.

The two sides looked evenly matched, but the Turkic corps had thousands of iron cavalry, while the Tang army was mostly infantry. If it really fights in this desert, the probability of defeat of the Tang army is relatively high.

"What's going on?" Qiqige looked at the Turkic side for a while, and then looked in the direction of the Tang army.

Zhuo Ke's eyes were sharp, and he said in surprise: "Her Royal Highness the princess, it is the people under the command of General Ashina!" ”

When Qiqige heard this, his heart was a little calm, and he looked at it fixedly, and sure enough, he found that it was the army under the command of Ashina Jiemo, "Why did they confront the Tang army?" ”

Didn't the Tang Dynasty and the Turks already make a marriage alliance, what happened this time?

As soon as Li Tianqi's mind turned, he already understood the reason, and he hurriedly said: "Isn't it because Her Royal Highness Princess Qiqige has not returned to the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and Ashina Jiemo has raised an army to fight?" ”

A word woke up the dreamer, and Kikige nodded, "Yes." It must be so. We should have returned a long time ago, but we were caught by the Rakshasa in the Demon Mountain......"

Li Tianqi clasped his fists and said, "Qiqige, Zhuoke, then please ask you to quickly clear up this misunderstanding." lest there be a river of blood here. ”

Zhuo Ke nodded and said to Kikige: "The two armies are facing each other, and they are already tense at this time. Her Royal Highness needs to make up her mind quickly to avoid ruining her life. ”

"But ......" Qiqige was reluctant to leave Li Tianqi, but at this time, the incident happened suddenly, and it was difficult to have both, so he asked gloomily: "Brother Li, if you say goodbye today, I don't know when we will meet again." Can I still enjoy the scenery of the grassland with you? ”

Li Tianqi helped Lu Linlang, nodded and said, "I promise you, as long as you are busy with the things in hand, I will definitely come to see you." ”

Zhuo Ke also hugged his fists and said: "There is no banquet in the world." Li Tianqi, take care. ”

"Remember to come." Qiqige reluctantly said: "Then I'll go first." Take care! ”

Li Tianqi and Lu Linlang also clasped their fists and said, "Take care." ”

Kikige let out a long sigh and walked briskly towards the Turkic army.

Zhuo Ke raised his breath and shouted to the Turkic soldiers over there in Turkic: "Her Royal Highness Princess Qiqige is here, don't mess around!" ”

Those Turkic soldiers really came for Kiqige, and when they heard the shout, many generals with troops immediately galloped over on fast horses......

Li Tianqi helped Lu Linlang and said: "We also went over to talk to Tang Jun, as long as the problem is solved, it shouldn't be able to fight." What's more, there is a marriage alliance between the two parties. ”

In fact, he doesn't know if the marriage alliance still exists, if it doesn't exist, Yang Wen should be quite happy, but the safety of this country may be a bit mysterious.

Li Tianqi's heart was extremely conflicted at this time.

They went to the camp of the Don army and asked to see the general who led the troops.

The general of the Tang Army was originally a general stationed at Yumen Pass, and after hearing that Li Tianqi, who spoke in pure Central Plains dialect, told the whole story of the incident, he was still a little suspicious, but seeing that the Turkic army had begun to retreat, he finally believed in the truth of the facts, and couldn't help but rejoice that there was a false alarm, and he immediately wanted to reward Li Tianqi.

Li Tianqi was worried that he would be tracked down by the imperial court, and Lu Linlang's condition was not suitable for a fast march, so he was unwilling to go with them, so he politely refused.

The general had no choice but to reward Li Tianqi and Lu Linlang with two fast horses and some dry food and water, and then led the army to retreat to Yumen Pass.

A catastrophe involving tens of thousands of people was eliminated, which couldn't help but make Li Tianqi's heart rise with pride, and he felt quite satisfied as a chivalrous man to save the world.

Because the sun is quite vicious during the day, the steaming heat wave makes people sweat, which is not conducive to Lu Linlang's recuperation, so Li Tianqi decided to find a Gobi area to hide from the sun first, and then rush at night.

The effort paid off, and they didn't go far before they found a Gobi nearby, where they hid in the shadow of a huge wind-eroded rock.

This day is a bit long.

Lu Linlang is okay, due to her weak body, this hot weather is suitable for her to breathe. She had been sitting cross-legged for two hours.

Li Tianqi had nothing to do, so he delved into various scriptures and techniques in the Book of Heaven.

The soft voice of "cold ......" drilled into his ears and suddenly pulled him out of his state of concentration.

He opened his eyes and saw that Lu Linlang, who was supposed to be sitting cross-legged, had collapsed to the ground at this time, his face was extremely bad.

Li Tianqi hurriedly put the back of his hand on her forehead, terrible, burning badly.

He regretted a little at the moment that he didn't go back with Tang Jun, he didn't want to be like this for half a day, Lu Linlang actually fell ill, no wonder she didn't talk much.

Li Tianqi had studied medicine, but there was no shop in front of the village here, and there was no medicine in the back, which made him, a seven-foot man, anxious.

He hurriedly took out the military blanket from the leather bag on the horse's back, spread it on the ground, gently picked up Lu Linlang, put her on the blanket, and then tore off a few rags, poured out some water from the water bladder, soaked the rags, and rested on Lu Linlang's forehead.

"Linlang, you have to hold on." Li Tianqi called softly, then took off his clothes and covered her body.

Lu Linlang was unconscious, and her breathing was slightly heavy.

Li Tianqi couldn't help but feel very sad when he saw such a weak and haggard girl, but he had nothing he could do.

He calculated from the supplies placed on the horses by the Tang army that this place was at least a hundred miles away from Yumen Pass, and even if he kept going back and forth in this desert, it would take at least one day and one night. And for such a long time, Lu Linlang lying here may be attacked by wild beasts.

He ran to the high place of the Gobi and looked around, expecting to see the passing caravans, and to come forward and ask for some medicine.

But in the vast desert, under the scorching sun, at this time, Mo said that he was a human, and he didn't even see a beast.

He returned to the wind-eroded rock and replaced another piece of wet cloth from Lu Linlang's forehead.

"It's so cold......" Lu Linlang shuddered and murmured unconsciously.

Li Tianqi is too hot, but Lu Linlang is afraid of cold due to high heat, this place is under the wind erosion rock, the hot air of the north-south convection blows over, and it gradually becomes cool under the shadow, if a normal person feels very comfortable, but a sick person is not like that.

"Hiss-" Lu Linlang's body began to tremble.

Li Tianqi couldn't care about the ancient training of men and women at this time, not to mention that he was also a person in the rivers and lakes, so naturally he couldn't take care of it too much, so he lay down next to Lu Linlang and hugged her in his arms.

Never held a woman in his arms in such a posture and so closely, Li Tianqi suddenly felt red-faced, for fear that Lu Linlang would scold him when he woke up.

However, Lu Linlang's body slowly returned to normal, she didn't tremble anymore, and her breath was much smoother.

Li Tianqi was holding such a beautiful girl, and she was at the age of being young and vigorous, and her heart couldn't help but be turbulent under the warm fragrance of nephrite, and she scolded herself a few times repeatedly, she shouldn't think about it.

Maybe he was too tired and took off his clothes, he felt unusually cool and very comfortable, or he was worried that Lu Linlang would catch a cold, so he didn't dare to move, and silently recited the meditation mantra.

Fortunately, God blessed, at dusk, Lu Linlang's body temperature dropped a little, Li Tianqi hurriedly got up, and wanted to find some materials in the Gobi to make a simple carriage for her to lie down more comfortably.

Although the Gobi Desert was desolate, he still found some tough sticks of wood and some rattan, and using the skills he had learned from the old hunter, he quickly weaved a frame and spread the blanket on it.

This simple carriage was towed by two fast horses and could run freely across the desert.

By the time he had done this, night had fallen, and the burning sensation of the desert during the day had slowly faded.

Li Tianqi carried Lu Linlang into the carriage, and then waved the rattan as a whip and rode the horse forward.

He had already identified the direction, and tonight was destined to be a night of bright stars, the sky was dark, and the night sky was already full of stars.

The crescent-shaped moon quietly rose from the other side of the desert.

"Linlang, hold on, it'll be here soon." Li Tianqi kept wiping her forehead with strips of cloth soaked in cold water.

The two fast horses seemed to have sensed his anxious mood and rushed forward.

According to his judgment, when the sky is white, that is, when the morning dawn, he can go to the front of the Jade Gate.

However, his judgment seemed to have been wrong, and after midnight, although he had walked out of the desert, it was as if he had walked into a huge meadow, and the dense and lush grass supported the simple carriage, which also made the people on it feel very stable and comfortable.

However, Li Tianqi was not in the mood to appreciate it, because this was not the road condition he remembered in his mind.

What the hell is this place?

Did you think you were going in the wrong direction?

This is what Li Tianqi is most worried about.

If this is the case, it will delay Lu Linlang's diagnosis and treatment.

The weather at night is in stark contrast to the heat of the day, and it is unusually cool, which can be said to be a little chilly. While he was thinking, the wind began to rage everywhere.

The whirring sound is not noticeable.

Li Tianqi couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.

At this moment, a little fire in the distance jumped into Li Tianqi's eyes, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed - there was a tent.
