Chapter 183: Xicheng Pass
Stepping on the horse stone, Song Rumu grabbed both sides of the saddle and struggled to be supported by Xuanling on the horse's back.
Xuanling is a kicking foot, chic turned over on the horse, Song Rumu saw the heart of the big set, she was really afraid that Xuanling is mouth flower, now just looking at this horse posture, you know that she must be a master.
Song Rumu was relieved, the surname of the commander of Yulinwei was Hou, but after seeing Song Rumu's posture on the horse, and the appearance of sitting on the horse, he wiped cold sweat, the princess is a ball.
When everyone was about to leave, Song Nianzhi, who was dressed in white and white, arrived with Mo Zhiyao and others on horseback, and the commander happened to know Song Nianzhi, and took the initiative to say hello, knowing that Song Nianzhi was not worried about his sister, and wanted to take someone to go to the northwest with him.
For this, the Commander-in-Waiting is unbelievable, several imperial doctors and more than a thousand men in Yulinwei, only Miss Song San and the two women, the personal maid, although there is an emperor's dictation, but if they are pursued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince afterwards, who can say clearly, so for Song Nianzhi, the prince of the Hou Mansion, to join, the Commander-in-Chief is warmly welcome.
Song Rumu wanted to object, but Song Nianzhi's attitude was undoubted, in the eyes that she had seen since she was a child, the bottomless coldness replaced the original gentleness and indisputability, he looked at her so lightly, without saying a word, Song Rumu felt a pain in her heart, and finally nodded in response.
Song Han, who arrived later, saw that Song Nianzhi had been found by Mo Zhiyao, he breathed a sigh of relief, and Yin Yin instructed the two sisters and brothers to take care of each other on the way, this fatherly heart, anyone present can understand it, Song Rumu, who was sitting on the horse, looked up at the sky, let the wetness in his eyes slowly dry by the wind, turned his head and smiled at Song Han: "Daddy, take care of yourself, remember to take medicine on time, and wait for your daughter to come back, but you have to ask the fourth uncle in person." ”
"Remember for the Father! Go, remember that Nianzhi is by your side, you have taken care of him for a long time, it is time for him to take care of you" Song Han said earnestly. said to his daughter, who was sitting on horseback and pretending to be calm, that he took the past to heart, bit by bit, and he knew his daughter's self-discipline better. Who can imagine a little big child, you know that the eldest sister is like a mother, and she is responsible for taking care of her younger brother inside and out, and Nian Zhi can have today's achievements, in addition to his own talent. Absolutely indispensable to her daughter's careful care and kindness.
Song Rumu, who had never thought of a return, tried to put away her sour intentions, and assured Song Han seriously: "Mu'er will definitely bring back the peace of Nian." ”
Song Han nodded and waved for everyone to set off.
The matter is urgent, and they can't afford to be verbose any longer, and the emperor can't even take care of his own illness, so he asks the imperial doctor to rush to the northwest, and their Hou Mansion can't waste a little time. Only with His Highness can her daughter get rid of the injustice of fate to her.
The first snow did not stop, the north wind was biting, and the horse team went out of the city gate in batches, to a sparsely populated place, and then rushed all the way to the west, and the imperial doctor and a large number of guards escorted them on the way. The speed of the horse team has not slowed down in the slightest because of the existence of Song Rumu's sisters and brothers, after all, it is in everyone's hearts. The life of the emperor is the most important,
Two thousand horses galloped forward at the same time at the fastest speed, and the whole earth began to shake with the sound of horses' hooves.
Song Rumu, who was sitting in front of Xuanling. The tears that were pricked by the wind did not stop, and the wet cheeks were blown by the north wind, like a knife cut, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain without saying a word, and when she couldn't bear it anymore, she simply closed her eyes. Listen to the thunderous sound of horses' hooves.
The group did not stop when they passed the post station, but rushed around the post station, and when they encountered the village, they would also make a detour, until it was completely dark, and the commander Hou gave an order to find a shelter from the wind, and boiled hot water to share with everyone.
The steamed buns that were already cold couldn't be swallowed when they were stuck in her throat, Song Rumu picked up the hot water and drank a big sip, raised her head and washed the steamed buns as medicine, this is a long way, she has to feed herself first, and she must not fall halfway because of this difficulty.
Looking down, Song Nianzhi was swallowing the steamed buns with difficulty, Song Rumu silently handed over the hot water, the young man's lips that were dried by the wind were lightly pursed, he took the hot water and poured it down, and after swallowing the steamed buns in his mouth, he smiled, and then thought of the emperor who didn't know life and death, and said a little gloomily: "He will definitely be fine, don't forget that the master is still in the northwest!" ”
This is most of the past day, Song Rumu heard the most reassuring words for her, yes, the father-in-law is still in the northwest, the father-in-law has good medical skills, even if he can't solve the poison in the emperor's blessing, he will definitely be able to delay until the good poison imperial doctors arrive.
After everyone had finished eating the dry food, the commander gave an order, the torches lit the way, and the horse team continued to set off. Song Rumu actually got off the horse from the moment he got off the horse, his legs were numb and unconscious, and he secretly rubbed it for a long time before he got better, if he wanted to get on the horse by himself, it would be impossible.
She grabbed the saddle weakly with both hands, and she didn't need any strength at all, so she could only let Xuanling hold her legs and support her, Xuanling was also a girl after all, although she had kung fu to protect herself, but she rode down for most of the day, and her strength was also consumed a lot.
Song Nianzhi, who was following behind, stepped forward and asked Xuanling to get on the horse first, and then he picked up Song Rumu with both hands, held it high and handed it to Xuanling on the horse.
The careful Xuanling had already found that Song Rumu's cheeks were red from the wind, so she put Song Rumu behind her, and in order to prevent Song Rumu from falling off the horse, she tied Song Rumu to her with a rope.
Song Rumu here is physically exhausted, and a few imperial doctors over there have long been out of shape, especially the two older ones, who can't stand up, there is no way, so the commander Hou picked out a few Yulin guards to follow the example of Xuanling, and each chose an imperial doctor to tie people behind him.
The next road was even more difficult, and the farther northwest went, the colder it became, and in some places the snow was knee-high, and the horses could not run at all. Fortunately, it is far away from the boundary of the capital, and the group no longer needs to hide their whereabouts, the small road turns to the main road, plus the two horses change horses, and they do not sleep endlessly, so they can travel 300 miles a day.
It was another morning, the night receded, the morning sun slowly rose from the horizon, and Xicheng Pass appeared so abruptly in front of everyone's eyes.
The soldiers on the Xicheng Pass, after seeing a group of people who are not human ghosts or ghosts appearing in the line of sight, immediately shouted loudly to stop everyone from advancing, otherwise there will be no mercy.
Commander Hou immediately stepped forward to hand over to the general guarding the pass, describing the haggard Lan Qing, her tears blurred her vision uncontrollably, and she laboriously patted Song Rumu, who had begun to fall into a coma halfway, and choked up: "Miss...... We're in Xichengguan, and you'll be able to see Your Highness right away."
Song Rumu, who was so weak that she couldn't speak clearly, opened her eyes with a strong fighting spirit, no longer an endless field, no longer a barren mountain with a tiger roaring and a wolf howling, and the towering city wall in front of her turned out to be Xicheng Pass, she muttered a few times in her throat, and said intermittently: "Xicheng Pass...... Are you sure? Take me to him, take me to him......"
"Yes, slave will take you to see His Highness......" Xuanling couldn't cry.
Knowing that it was the imperial doctor of the capital who arrived, although the officers and soldiers who were surprised to defend the city did not dare to slack off, but the location of the Xicheng Pass was important, how to put the well-equipped thousand horsemen inside, and the commander could not negotiate, so he came to ask Song Rumu, who was already more sober than before, gritted his teeth and said hoarsely: "Everyone is on standby outside the city, leaving two imperial doctors, and the rest will enter the customs with me." ”
"How can this be, the emperor sent us to escort the crown princess and the imperial doctors...... In case there is fraud, ...... "Commander Hou is careful, but he only remembers his mission, but he forgets that Huangfu Tianyou can't wait at all, if there is fraud in Xicheng Pass, where will Huangfu Tianyou, who is poisoned by poisoned arrows, go.
Worried about her heart, the anger in Song Rumu's heart was high, and she said angrily: "Since you come to ask me, you must have no idea, then listen to my arrangement." I'll leave two imperial doctors for you, if we can't get out of Xicheng Pass today, you can leave quickly with two imperial doctors, and then inquire about the location of His Highness......"
This Xicheng Pass is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and she Song Rumu also broke through today.
"Absolutely not" Although the commander was swept away, he still tried his best to stop him.
Song Nianzhi was even more anxious, he stepped forward and said, "Sister is waiting here, I'll take the imperial doctor in......"
"You shut up for me" Song Rumu, whose physical strength was about to be exhausted, gritted her teeth and yelled at Song Nianzhi, Song Nianzhi is the only seedling in their third room, whoever has an accident can't have an accident, how can she be willing to let him go in and take risks.
"I don't listen, if I want to enter, I ......will enter" Song Nianzhi was really anxious, his voice was invisibly raised a lot, he worked hard to follow, not to hide behind his sister.
Song Rumu was choked by Song Nianzhi's anger, she panted for a long time, and then said in a gentle tone: "Sister can't walk, if there is fraud, I want to escape, do you think I can escape like this?" It's good to think about it, is it good to listen to my sister once? Thoughts, good ......"
Song Nianzhi, who had never shouted bitterly and was tired all the way, couldn't help but blush, and he choked up: "I don't listen, I've grown up, it's time for you to listen to me." ”
really grew up, no longer the child, who could be deceived by her words, Song Rumu grinned lightly, she coughed and said, "Then you come over", when Song Nianzhi walked in front of her, she whispered in his ear: "Sister begs you one thing, if there is fraud in Xicheng Pass, you help me tell His Highness, he owes me in this life, let him remember to pay it back in the next life, you can only tell him this, don't tell the second person." ”
There was a whisper with a Jiangnan accent in his ears, how could he not know his sister's good intentions, Song Nianzhi, who was forced to the edge of the cliff by Song Rumu, closed his eyes weakly, until Song Rumu and others were taken into the pass by the soldiers in the city, he didn't look at it again, only the tears in the corners of his eyes fell one by one, falling into the ice and snow and returning to dust.
The gate of the pass was only opened to allow people to enter, and then it slowly closed again, and more than a thousand cavalry were silent, staring at the Xicheng Pass as silent as stagnant water.
Song Rumu, who was lying on Xuanling's back, could see that the Xicheng Pass was heavily guarded, with five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the soldiers patrolling back and forth were constantly coming and going, but these soldiers were only vigilant against outsiders, but they did not have much malice, and her heart slowly calmed down, thinking that it was because the prince moved here, the generals guarding the city would be very careful, and they would not let them enter casually.
"Ahead is the imperial doctor from the capital? Hurry up...... Follow Ben Shuai to this side......"
The familiar voice with anxiety in the eagerness made Song Rumu in a drowsy tremble. (To be continued.) )
PS: Ben Shuai is finally going to see the sun (* ̄3) (ε ̄*)!! Ask for a referral ticket! I also recommend the introduction of Li Baozhu's "The Modern Life of the Empress": Dominate the country and laugh at the conspiracy, and only worry about crossing the modern era.
