Mu Qing sat firmly on the horse, watching Liu Wenjing's distant figure, the bright light armor was shining with a dazzling bright light by the sun, and the soldiers marching under the ground began to trot, running farther and farther.

After all the 20,000 soldiers and armor ran onto the avenue, several cavalrymen around her took off their horses' heads and apologized to her, "The military order has given us, I have offended a lot, and I hope Mrs. Gu will forgive me." Then he urged the horse to chase after the brigade.

When Du Ruhui and Yinghua hurried from the south side of the camp, the figures of the soldiers were no longer visible on the avenue, leaving only a misty yellow smoke and dust in the same place.

"I can't stop him." Mu Qing jumped down from the white hoof black's back, "Liu Gong has no intention of going to battle, he has already quietly gathered his troops, and by the time I arrived, most of the 20,000 horses had already left the camp......" She shook her head in a helpless voice.

"He underestimated Xue Ju too much." Du Ruhui said: "The battle against Qu Tutong really made him dizzy, only when the soldiers and generals in this world are much the same, how do you know that Qu Tutong is like a yellow sheep to a jackal compared to Xue Ju." I also blame that I didn't realize it earlier. ”

Yinghua watched for a while, looked up at the sky, and suddenly said, "Liu Gong wants to take advantage of the twilight to make meals and change shifts, and raid when the army is the most lax?" Does my brother-in-law want me to bring troops to help? If I lead my troops to disrupt the camp of the Xue army from the other side, they will think that our army is pouring out, and they dare not be too rampant, and they may be able to save most of these 20,000 horses. ”

Du Ruhan's face was silent, his eyes were fixed on the distant yellow smoke and dust on the avenue, and after a long time, he waved his hand indifferently, "No need, just let him go." The rest of the men and horses still have other things to do. Saying that, he turned to Mu Qing again, "What is Erlang's current situation?" ”

"At sunset, the fire was high, and I talked nonsense for a while, but I was afraid that I was still not awake." Mu Qing shook his head and said sadly.

"Yinghua, go to the order quickly, and quickly pull out the camp and return to Chang'an. Open in an hour. Du Ruhui gave the order without thinking, Yinghua raised his eyes and stared at him, suspecting that he had misheard something. No matter what you say, you should wait for Erlang to come to his senses before deciding. Liu Wenjing has just openly resisted the order of the King of Qin, and his brother-in-law here is going to be arbitrary again.

"Brother-in-law......" she raised and lowered her hand on the reins, repeating it several times, and hesitating with her horse.

Du Ruhui's mind quickly sorted out several or possible consequences, the more he thought about it, the more he felt dangerous, and simply stopped thinking about those methods, King Qin was not yet sober, he had to encroach on this time, "You just have to give the order, I have to bear the responsibility, that is, I have to take care of it, and I have to wait to save their lives, the one who punishes the crime has the opportunity to punish the crime, and the one who receives the crime also has a place to receive the crime." ”

Yinghua no longer hesitated, and hurried to the camp to gather the remaining generals.

When Mu Qing rushed back to the big tent, Zhao Cang was still taking care of the big tent, he had always been quite confident in his medical skills, but at this moment, the king of Qin who woke up from time to time made him panic, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were pouring out one by one.

"Isn't Doctor Zhao sure?" It was the first time Mu Qing had seen him so flustered when facing a patient.

Zhao Cang's sleeves had been rolled up to his elbows, and he raised his arm to wipe the sweat on his forehead and cheeks, "I, I ......"

Zhao Cang said "I" more than a dozen times, his face was red, but he couldn't say the next words. Mu Qing's mind was empty, "Although malaria often kills people, it is not a difficult disease for Doctor Zhao, how can it be ......?"

Zhao Cang couldn't hold back, "sigh", and slapped his leg heavily, "I'll tell the truth." Malaria can be cured, but it takes time, as little as 20 days, as much as 3 or 2 months, and after healing, the hands and feet are weak for a long time, and the spirit is tired, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no root cause of the disease. Can His Royal Highness King Qin delay these twenty days? And the strength dissipates, not to mention the command of the army, it is impossible to ride a horse and lift a lance. ”

"So, Doctor Zhao changed the medicine?" Mu Qing stared at his open mouth and asked word by word.

Zhao Cang raised his hand again to wipe a handful of sweat, and nodded his head a few times.

"Got the potion of the tiger wolf?"

This time, Zhao Cang didn't dare to nod again, looked at her blankly, and said: "Although the medicine is dangerous, it has a miraculous effect, if it is...... If His Royal Highness can withstand this medicine, Meng Lang will be able to see a good situation in less than ten days, and his strength will be able to recover immediately. ”

"What if you can't bear it?"

He lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at Mu Qing, and replied in a very low voice: "I don't know yet, Xu is burned his head, and since then he has been stupid, Xu is broken eyeballs, and he will no longer be able to see things ......in the future."

"But there are still people around who have used this medicine?"

Zhao Cang almost began to tremble, his throat was so dry that he couldn't say a word, and he stiffened his neck and shook his head.

"You, you ......" Mu Qing made a bitter face, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "That's it, there is no need to say more now, just ask for more blessings." Now that he wants to withdraw the camp to Chang'an, within an hour, can he afford to move? ”

"Make, make." Zhao Cang hurriedly agreed, "I'll call someone to settle His Highness first." ”

After saying an hour, it was not more than half a moment, and more than 100 cars of baggage had been lined up, stopped on both sides and waited, and the coachmen were all sitting on the car, holding a horsewhip, and instigating the horses to set off at any time.

Mu Qing came out of the big tent, the camp tent and other garrisons had been completely removed, and the soldiers would assemble on the empty and vast camp, four people in a row, forming a strange formation. Zhao Cang commanded four of his entourage, carried Li Shimin out of the big tent with a wooden plank, and placed him on a vacated baggage cart.

Zhao Cang looked at the formation in front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised, "What is this going to do?" ”

Mu Qing raised his chin forward, "This is the Wild Goose Formation, which can not only protect Erlang in the formation, but also fight and act once he encounters enemy soldiers." ”

Zhao Cang then said "hmm" and didn't take it to heart. Mu Qing's heart turned several times, why did he want to list such a formation to withdraw his troops, maybe on the way back to Chang'an, a pursuit was inevitable. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Du Ruhui, who was busy among the soldiers, and the chaos in her heart couldn't be explained.

The cavalry battalion led by Yinghua surrounded Li Shimin's baggage cart in the middle, and the Xuanjia army was at the end of the line, divided into two columns and spread slightly to both sides, acting as goose wings, if there were enemy soldiers attacking, they could encircle and annihilate the enemy soldiers at the fastest speed.

More than 20,000 soldiers marched silently in the night, and no one could say a word, except for the sound of leather boots clattering on the ground, the sound of Ding Lingdang's armor clattering, and then the clattering of horses' hooves as dense as raindrops.

Mu Qing sat beside Li Shimin, constantly probing his hot forehead with his hand, trying to talk to him, but he fell asleep with his eyes closed. In the second half of the night, she couldn't support it, her arms supported her head, she swayed with the bump of the car, and almost fell out of the car several times.

Du Ruhui rode his horse to the side of the car, frowned and looked at her for a while, and called softly, "Mu Qing? ”

She awoke suddenly, opened her eyelids vigorously, and looked at him in confusion.

"Ride with me." With that, he stretched out his hand, pulled her onto the horse, and sat down in front of him. The June evening breeze was dry and cool, and the gusts of wind carried with him the familiar smell that made her settle down, which made her want to sleep all the more, and her head rested on his chest, and dangled to and fro, and for a moment she fell asleep, and a jolt woke her up in time.

Du Ruhui put his arms around her sides and gently clamped her so that she would not slip off the horse, "If you want to sleep, just sleep, just raise some spirits, don't burn your body anymore." ”

said that it was sleep, how could Mu Qing sleep peacefully, he dozed for a while, and woke up again, sleepy and unbearable, confused, a bump, and opened his eyes again. The darkness seemed to be boundless, and I don't know how long I walked, the sky in front of me seemed to be split horizontally, revealing a touch of fish belly white.

"Is it going to be dawn?" She asked, looking up.

Du Ruhui let out a muffled "um" in the sound of heavy breathing.

Mu Qing sat up straight from his chest and looked out into the darkness on all sides, "How is Erlang?" But woke up? ”

"Doctor Zhao is guarding, it seems, it's not good." He took off one of his arms, flicked it a few times, and pointed somewhere in the darkness, "They're over there." ”

Mu Qing pulled his arm and rubbed it a few times, "Teach me to be sour and numb?" Am I so heavy? ”

He didn't talk, just chuckled softly. The translucent opening in the sky opened wider and wider, and more light poured out of the crack, dragging the whole sky out of the darkness and brightening up. Mu Qing turned his head to see his bloodshot eyes and the melancholy on his face that had not yet had time to hide.

After walking for a while, the sky was already bright. The soldiers dragged a heavy tiredness in the sound of their footsteps, and Mu Qing had already dismounted Du Ruhui's horse before dawn, and pulled another horse to ride alone. The procession changed from a wild goose formation to a long snake formation, and passed through a valley, and this night it was thirty or forty miles long, and the soldiers were so tired that they almost fell down.

There was an open field in front of him, and Du Ruhui gave the order to go, and ordered the soldiers to change the formation in front of them, and arrange them into a circle formation, showing a defensive formation, gradually increasing the number of people from the inside and outside. When they formed a formation, they rested on the spot, and did not support their tents, but used linoleum to cushion the ground, and sat and lay down for two hours, and ordered dry cakes and water bladders to be distributed.

The soldiers were so tired that they couldn't lift their legs, and they didn't even bother to pay attention to the dry food they were given, so they didn't care about what they couldn't pay for, so they spread out thick linoleum on the spot, lay down and slept.

Li Shimin was in the middle of this circle. Mu Qing walked to his side, he was still sleeping, his face was sallow, and the red tide of high fever on his cheeks had faded. She reached out and put her hand on his forehead, and the burning sensation dissipated, and she felt cold on his forehead.

"Is he normal right now?" Mu Qing asked Zhao Cang in a low voice.

Zhao Cang's face seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and he shook his head tiredly, "It's hard to say." It still depends on whether the high fever will recur at sunset. ”

Yinghua sat on a linoleum beside him, his hands clasped on a long sheathed knife, his head bowed, his forehead resting on the hilt, and he sat motionless.

Mu Qing stretched out her hand and pushed her, she raised her head violently, and when she saw that it was Mu Qing, she lowered her face and complained: "Sister, what are you doing to bluff me." Her eyes were as bloodshot as Du Ruhui, her eyes were swollen, her delicate little face was like a frost-beaten leaf, and her brilliance was lost.

"After keeping watch all night, aren't you tired, why don't you go to sleep quickly, I'll guard it for you." Mu Qing pushed her again, so as to persuade her to leave. R1152
