The scorching sun is like fire, on both sides of the official road, the winter wheat planted in the autumn of last year in the fields has been harvested, and the short wheat stalks left in the fields have long been dried and scorched, and some have fallen on the loess in patches, almost with the dust.

About 200 miles out of Chang'an, the first batch of scouts who went out to explore the road turned back to report, a large area of camp tents appeared in the north of the high jaw 100 miles away, and the big banner of the word "Xue" was raised, and the number of soldiers and generals was about 100,000 according to the number of camp tents.

Li Shimin was silent after hearing the newspaper, and he seemed to be contemplative, and he looked slightly embarrassed when he looked sideways. Du Ruhui and Liu Wenjing glanced at each other, full of suspicion, but it was not easy to ask him. The scout retreated, continuing with the group.

In the end, it was just the moon out, Mu Qing was in a cold sweat on the horse, and two blushes appeared on his pale cheeks due to the summer heat, and his face was weird. Ye Na is a bearded girl, she has always been good at riding, although she has to endure the scorching sun and is a little wilted along the way, but it is not a big problem. Yinghua needless to say, the scorching heat and extreme cold are normal for her. From time to time, she turned her head sideways to look at Mu Qing's face, worried that she would not be able to hold on at any time.

Du Ruhui looked back a few times, his brows were tightly twisted into one place, and he was about to open his mouth to Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing on the side was also a little unbearable, turned to Du Ruhui and said: "Qi Niang's appearance, it doesn't look very good, why don't you let Yinghua accompany you to rest for a while, and then catch up with the army when the sun is on fire." ”

Du Ruhui nodded, "That's exactly what I mean." Then Xiang Chi went to Li Shimin's side and said a few words to him. After he finished speaking, Li Shimin was confused and didn't know what to say, Du Ruhui remembered that when the scout returned to the court, he was also like this, and he couldn't help but pause in his heart, and called "Erlang" twice, only to see him turn his head blankly, his forehead and cheeks were covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, his face was sallow, and his eyes were scattered, so he opened his mouth, and he actually "tom", and lay down on the neck of the white hoof. The white hoof is extremely human, as if a person is frightened, while kicking and stomping to stop, while steady pace, so as not to make Li Shimin fall to the ground.

Although Mu Qing was tired and sanity, she was not far from Li Shimin's mount, and when she saw this scene, she immediately came back to her senses, and with a fierce spirit, she sat up straight on the horse.

"I ......" Yinghua's first reaction was to urge the horse to come forward to visit, took two steps, took the horse again, looked at Mu Qing in embarrassment, and was speechless and did not move forward.

"Let's take a look." Mu Qing nodded slightly, and raised his chin towards the mess in front of him.

Yinghua shook the reins and stepped forward. After a while, someone in front of him gave an order, and the whole army rested in place for a while. Someone called Zhao Cang loudly, Zhao Cang jumped off the back of the horse full of herbs hanging on the side of the saddle, and ran quickly into the crowd.

Yinghua jumped off the horse, withdrew from the crowd, and slowly walked to Mu Qing, who was sitting in the shade of the tree, frowning, worried.

"Erlang, what's wrong?" Mu Qing was a little short of breath when he spoke, and he sounded as if he couldn't catch his breath.

Yinghua glanced back over there again, every trace of expression on his face was densely filled with worry, "Suddenly there was a high fever, and a cold call, and I was confused, and Doctor Zhao said that it was caused by malaria, poisonous insects and gnats." She turned her face, grabbed Mu Qing's sleeve, and asked eagerly, "Sister, tell me, is this disease tight?" ”

Malaria, Mu Qing's heart tightened, and he asked rhetorically, "What did Doctor Zhao say?" ”

"It is precisely because he doesn't say anything that makes people anxious." Yinghua stomped his foot, "He was about to say it, but his brother-in-law stopped him and didn't let him say it." ”

Mu Qing glanced around, but wherever she could see, the soldiers all peeked at Li Shimin's place and whispered in a low voice, Du Ruhui did not allow Zhao Cang to say in public, it should be afraid of disturbing the army's heart, and since there is a suspicion of disturbing the army's heart, that Erlang's condition is probably not good.

"Sister, you told me to know." Yinghua urged again.

Mu Qing took her arm, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Malaria may kill people, or it can survive it, it all depends on creation." Your brother-in-law didn't allow Zhao Cang to proclaim that he was afraid that the army would be disheartened, and you didn't want to talk nonsense loudly. ”

Yinghua bit her lower lip and nodded vigorously.

There were no carriages with cars in the army, and they were barbaric, with only three or two peasant households scattered in the distance, which could be seen faintly. Du Ruhui called a personal entourage, pointed to the peasant over there and gave him a few words in a deep voice, handed him a piece of gold cake, and the personal entourage turned over and got on his horse and galloped over there.

After a long time, an ox cart swayed along the road from the farmer's place, and on the wheel of the ox cart, it was the person who drove the car. When I got to the front, I saw that the car was extremely simple. It is said to be a car, but in fact it is just a flatbed car pulled by oxen, with a broken linoleum on it, and the power is used as a canopy, and the four walls are empty. Everyone carried Li Shimin into the car.

Du Ruhui took Zhao Cang, separated everyone, and walked to Mu Qing. When Zhao Cang saw Mu Qing, his solemn face eased slightly, with a hint of a smile, and arched his hand, "Qi Niang has won Xiaolang, and I haven't congratulated him yet." A certain nature is scattered, and Qi Niang also knows, so on the day of the three baptisms, I don't want everyone to join in this fun, and I hope Qi Niang will forgive me. ”

"Where is that?" Mu Qing stood up, only to feel dizzy for a while, his eyes were dark, and his mouth was still busy answering him, "If it weren't for Doctor Zhao, how could there be my little Shilang, I should have prepared a generous gift to thank Doctor Zhao." ”

Du Ruhui stepped over to her, helped her to sit down slowly, "Sit down, it just so happens that Doctor Zhao is here, so I will ask Doctor Zhao to listen to the pulse, how about it?" ”

"There is no need to call the pulse, Qi Niang's situation, it is obvious that the postpartum deficit has not recovered, it should be good to recuperate, lie down more, how can you come out to work with the army now?" Zhao Cang was obviously a little annoyed, "If you still hope to have an heir in the future, you shouldn't be so wanton and trampling your body." ”

"The original reason, Doctor Zhao still doesn't know what to do, this is also helpless." Du Ru was ashamed, and sighed.

"That's it, those nonsense things have nothing to do with me, a doctor, you don't need me to know, you just need to see a doctor and prescribe medicine." Zhao Cang raised his hand to restrain Du Ruhui, and said neatly: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is going to decoct the medicine every day, so he will also prescribe a dose of Qingping tonic for Qi Niang, improve the qi, and cook it together when decocting the medicine." ”

Mu Qing was about to get up and thank him again, but he waved his hand, as if he was impatient, "There is still so much attention to the lack of qi and blood, so I sit and stand." ”

Saying that, he arched his hand towards Du Ruhui, "Your Highness's illness is in time, it is indeed a tricky disease, if you are here, you will not have to worry about your life." If you can trust a certain medical skill, you can settle down. Then he turned around and went to his saddle to look for the medicine.

Du Ruhui leaned over to help Mu Qing up, looking at her with a smile, "Do you want to have more heirs?" ”

Mu Qing rested for a while, his face returned to normal, the flush at this time was definitely not caused by the heat, and he said in a low voice: "Just as you wish." ”

"Don't regenerate in the future, it's too worrying." He couldn't help but recall the day Shiro was born, when she refused to shout despite the severe pain, and frowned and said seriously.

Du Ruhui helped her slowly to the side of the ox cart, and called Ye Na, Li Shimin was sleeping on the car with his eyes closed. "You will ride with Erlang, and take care of him." As he spoke, he carefully propped up her waist so that she could adjust to a comfortable sitting position on the board.

After a while, two men rode their horses, and while running and giving orders to clean up the procession, they continued to move forward.

Mu Qing and Ye Na sat on the leisurely ox cart, with a tattered linoleum covering their heads, avoiding the scorching sun, and suddenly cooled down. Turning his head to see Li Shimin lying down, his temples were wet with cold sweat, Ye Na took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat for him, but the sweat seemed to be more and more, and the silk handkerchief was wet, and it still kept coming out.

His teeth were clenched, his face was pale, and his consciousness was confused, which made people look stunned, and Ye Na couldn't help asking, "Can this survive?" ”

Mu Qing didn't speak, only nodded, Zhao Cang said yes, there would be no mistake.

After walking for another fifty or sixty miles, it is already within the boundary of the high jaw, and if you go further, you may encounter Xue Ju's 100,000 troops, Li Shimin is still unconscious, Du Ruhui and Liu Wenjing discussed, and temporarily set up camp here.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was still bright, the soldiers and generals set up their own camp tents, set up a big tent, and placed Li Shimin in the big tent.

Ye Na was concerned about Yu Li, avoiding people, and couldn't help but inquire about Mu Qing, "It was originally agreed that I would bypass Xue Ju's army and attack Jincheng directly, how can I ...... now?"

"This is only three or four hundred miles out of Chang'an, and the Xue army has rushed straight down, and the current situation cannot be bypassed, if we take a detour and leave, then Chang'an will have one less defense, and the Xue army may go straight to the city." Mu Qing said bluntly, I don't know if she can understand the intricacies of it, seeing the disappointment in her eyes, Mu Qing hurriedly added: "Xue Ju led the army away from Jincheng, all his energy is in the high jaw, and he has no time to take care of all the things in Jincheng County, and my brother must still be stable." ”

With this sentence, Ye Na calmed down again.

After sitting in the big tent for a while, Yinghua came in with two bowls of decoction, and handed one bowl directly to Mu Qing, "Doctor Zhao gave it, and my sister is about to drink it." The other bowl was squirming in his hand, "This bowl is Erlang's, sister, you feed him." As he spoke, he pushed the soup bowl into Ye Na's hand, turned his head and ran out of the big tent.

Mu Qing secretly thought to himself, it's okay like this, the two don't have to be too close, Yu Yinghua and Erlang are good. Li Shimin's teeth tightened, and it was not easy to feed the decoction, and the two of them easily poured most of the bowl into it, but they didn't realize that the sky had darkened, Mu Qing called in two Xuanjia Lang to guard, and went back to the tent to rest.

Ye Na and Yinghua have the same account, and Mu Qing has the same account with Du Ruhui. The camp tent is no stranger to her, Du Ruhui is still in Liu Wenjing's tent before returning, she threw off the narrow boots on her feet, and lay down in her clothes, extremely tired, only a breath or two, has fallen asleep.
