Chapter Eighty-Five: Water Sources
Looking at Mu Yuxi stunned for a long time, the expression in her eyes was happy and angry, Quan Jingmo was a little unhappy that her was distracted, and deliberately repatted her shoulder to scare her:
"What. ββββ Wen ββ Xiaoββ said, "
Mu Yuxi complained angrily, thought back, and met his face. It was a face exactly the same as that of modern Quan Jingmo, he was in the previous life of modern Quan Jingmo, and even every habit and many ways of treating himself were the same.
"Hey."
Mu Yuxi let out a long sigh, and walked forward thoughtfully. Quan Jingmo frowned and looked at her for a long time, her eyes could see her complicated experience, but what could a woman who was just eighteen years old and had been living in a deep boudoir experience what she could experience?
In the afternoon, Quan Jingmo decided to leave for Mobei, followed by only 300 dark guards and 600 elite soldiers, plus the generals were only 1,000 people, they all rode horses, carried dry food, and worked hard day and night to shorten the time to Mobei.
Quan Jingmo saw Mu Yuxi's skilled horseback riding skills, and she was as fast as them. It seems that she is not lying, she does ride well.
The overnight schedule is very tight, passing by deserted places along the way, sometimes you can even hear the wolf howling, Mu Yuxi experienced such an exciting thing for the first time, it was dark and even the faces of the people next to him couldn't see clearly, but the feeling of flying forward all the time was like a modern roller coaster with closed eyes. Finally, when the sky turned white, they found a place that looked like a paradise, and to their surprise, there was a water source.
Quan Jingmo ordered to rest on the spot at that time, but strictly forbade anyone and animals to drink water.
"Why don't you let you drink water?"
Mu Yuxi saw that although people still had water reserves, livestock definitely needed drinking water after such a long time of traveling, but seeing such a natural lake, Quan Jingmo refused to let it. Although Quan Jingyan on the side didn't ask, he also looked at the imperial brother with an inquiring face.
"A place with water must be a place with a good environment, with sunshine and plants, and such a place does not have too much wind and sand, which is suitable for the army to rest, but whether this water can be drunk is another matter."
Quan Jingmo patiently explained.
"What do you mean?"
"This is not an official road, we have been walking along the border road as soon as possible, where the border is not controlled, the people of the two jurisdictions will shirk each other's responsibilities, so that these places can easily fall into the hands of the gangsters, this kind of road is generally used to caravan merchants, they have a lot of money, so the gangsters often write articles from the water source, so as to rob the silver taels."
"Won't it?"
Mu Yuxi felt that Quan Jingmo's words were groundless.
"You see that the surroundings are all tattered and overgrown with weeds, but only this one, with green trees, water and birds, is clearly a paradise deliberately created by someone who has taken care of it, and I think it is a trap set by the gangsters to get the merchants to take the bait."
Quan Jingmo said that he was not in a hurry or slow. Even if it's a trap, it's good for him, except that he can't drink the water here, and the rest of the environment is still very suitable for rest.
After hearing this, Mu Yuxi looked around, and indeed only this piece of environment was beautiful. The admiration for Quan Jingmo in his heart has improved by one point--- old fox.
In the late autumn weather, it was very cold when the sky was bright, Mu Yuxi did not wear thick clothes because she was afraid of inconvenience, she was half-lying and napping by the fire at this time, she curled herself up to the side, and slept very unsteadily. At this time, the surroundings were also very quiet, except for more than a dozen soldiers scouting around, everyone else was also resting at this time.
Quan Jingmo half-leaned on the tree and closed his eyes to recuperate, and from time to time opened his eyes to see her sleeping by the fire not far away. Seeing that she was a little cold, he wanted to cover her with thicker clothes, but he was afraid that someone would see and suspect Mu Yuxi's identity, so he had to add some firewood to make the fire burn stronger.
When he closed his eyes, suddenly, he was extremely sensitive and heard a very light footstep that was deliberately suppressed, and he opened his eyes slightly and saw that it was the fourth brother Quan Jingyan.
He was taking off his coat and carefully covering Mu Yuxi's body, his eyes were very gentle, and his movements were very gentle, for fear of disturbing her dream.
Quan Jingmo closed his eyes, and he was a little out of breath due to the boredom in his heart. He knew that the fourth brother's concern for Mu Yuxi was not just as simple as between friends.
Proud as he is and domineering as he is, he will not allow anyone to covet the woman he likes.
Quan Jingmo decided to let the fourth brother know her identity, and also let him understand that Mu Yuxi was not someone he could get close to. It's just that now is a critical period, presumably everyone's energy has been highly focused on the affairs of Mobei recently, and he has no intention of considering the relationship between men and women, so he thinks that after Zeng Ying is accused, he will definitely talk to the fourth brother in person.
At that time, the sun was rising very high, and when Mu Yuxi woke up, most of the people were already eating dry food quietly, she was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly sat up.
"Don't sleep? If you don't get up again, I will carry you on the horse and leave. β
Quan Jingmo sat next to her, eating the same dry food as the soldiers, Mu Yuxi looked at the shallow stubble on his chin and smiled, and also took out his own dry food and ate it.
Quan Jingmo does not put the emperor on the shelf at all in the army, and shares weal and woe with the soldiers, very casually.
At this moment, a small accident occurred, and two horses suddenly fell to the ground as if they were sick, and looked like they were dying.
After hearing this, Quan Jingmo took a closer look and asked coldly:
"You didn't guard it well, and let the horses drink the water here?"
These horses are usually very carefully raised, they will not get sick after running for so long, and the red eyes look like a sign of poisoning. Livestock are tall and big, and even if they are poisoned, they will not die as quickly as people after taking poison.
"Yes. The minion was not optimistic, the horse may have been very thirsty, so he secretly drank water, and the minion also appeared later. β
Quan Jingmo didn't blame anything, Mu Yuxi stood aside thoughtfully: It is true that Quan Jingmo is right, this water cannot be drunk, but is it as simple as this horse just being poisoned by a faint poison?
"Your Majesty, although the slave maid does not understand medical science, the slave maid immediately buried the two horses alive."
She had read the book, Huo Quai, a hussar general during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, died of drinking plague water on the way to attack the Xiongnu.
"The plague?"
Quan Jingmo immediately understood what she meant, in fact, he had just crossed such an idea in his mind.
"Is there a military doctor in the army?"
Mu Yuxi asked.
"Yes. Someone, call him over. β
