Fang Changqing had seen Xu Ruliang's happy, sad, happy, and sad expressions, but he had never seen her as cold as she was now, and her body seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, which made people shudder.

What happened?

He narrowed his eyes and asked slowly, "What do you want?" ”

Xu Ruliang said: "I want to go to Xudu." ”

"Xudu?" It is rumored to be a ghost town that no one can approach. Fang Changqing raised his eyebrows almost invisibly, "Why do you suddenly want to go to Xudu?" He asked, unhurriedly as he began to clean up the things beside the medicine stove.

He had already decided in his heart that as long as Xu Ruliang could give him a reason that was still reasonable, he would not be able to accompany her to go on a journey.

Xu Ruliang learned the previous lesson and said: "I was so bored in the house that I wanted to go out for a walk and relax. ”

Do you need to go to a ghost town thousands of miles away? How big is the heart knot?

However, reluctantly is a reason.

Fang Changqing raised a doting smile, "When do you want to leave?" As he spoke, he simply packed up his baggage and shook it in front of Xu Ruliang, indicating that he could move at any time.

Xu Ruliang was embarrassed: "But I have to hurry up......

Fang Changqing smiled silently, threw the burden behind his back, and reached over with his other hand to rub her hair.

Xu Ruliang reacted after realizing it, the master said "slightly", that was just to be modest, in fact, there was no need to worry about his riding skills at all. was very excited, and at the same time emphasized: "Just the two of us, go quietly in private." ”

Then you have to think about it beforehand.

Fang Changqing smiled knowingly.

That night, he found an opportunity to escape from the Shaoguo Mansion and rested in the inn in the city.

Early the next morning. disguised as a child of a flat-headed common people's family, mixed with the people who went out of the city, and went out of the city without knowing it.

However, Ruyou received a secret report in the evening. Wang's 150,000 troops have crossed the river to the south, and revealed the route of the southward march, planning to skip Shuzhong, go straight to Dazhou through Hanzhong, and make a detour to Xudu to cross the river.

The reason is that "there are many mountain roads in Shuzhong, and the road is difficult to travel, which is not conducive to the speed of marching".

He was so angry that he had a seizure on the spot. slapped the secret report on the desk with one palm, and angrily reprimanded: "It's just nonsense!" ”

I paced around a few times indignantly, but I still couldn't get angry. Pointing to Shayu and saying repeatedly: "In just half a month, Nanban has captured three cities one after another, advanced to Taiban Yunnan, and entered my Dazhao." It's like being in a no-man's land. Kill my people like weeds! The people of southern Xinjiang are hot and hot, just waiting for the imperial court to send troops to rescue the victims, but Bo Xi, this is a child's play with the war! Tell me, Bo Xi is not the first time to lead troops, don't you know the truth of the speed of soldiers? How can you be so confused that you want to go far! ”

Ruxiao also understands that although Shuzhong is mountainous, it is not impossible to march. Take the drunken capital and wrap it around. In fact, it will take more time than going straight through Shuzhong.

"Yes." Such as the school said: "Cheng Hou in his early years with the old marquis to chase down the bandits in the hinterland of Sichuan and Shu, should be familiar with the terrain of Shuzhong, not impossible to march. This plan must have another meaning...... "The fingers slid along the Xudu to Yunnan, and finally stopped at the south bank of the Pearl River at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi."

Ruyou looked at it, and his eyes gathered together.

As pointed out by the school, it is a small town, Sanjiangkou Town. Crossing the Pearl River from Sanjiangkou Town to the south, you can go straight from Guizhou to Yunnan.

And Sanjiangkou Town has another special significance for Ruyou - before Mu Lianxuan sent Yan Ming as an envoy to bring a soft hedgehog armor to Shao to negotiate with Ruyou, on the condition that he let him transport the last batch of grain and grass to this Sanjiangkou Town.

The relief grain and grass in front of it all entered Yunnan from Fuyuan County.

Fuyuan County and Sanjiangkou Town are more than 200 miles apart.

Ruyou was puzzled before, how could the three princes make this adjustment for no reason? Until now, I suddenly realized that the three princes had long known that there would be a war, and they were sure that they would pass through here.

And behind the three princes, stands the emperor.

If Cheng Rui obeyed the order of the Son of Heaven and decided to leave Shu and go around the capital, I am afraid that there is another deep meaning.

In the early years, Emperor Yonghe suppressed the gate valve family in order to regain imperial power, and the vigorous measures adopted inadvertently surfaced in Ruyou's heart. As a person who watched Emperor Yonghe grow up, he knew very well that today's son was an unfathomable master of the sacred heart.

Both father and son had ideas in their hearts.

The clash between reality and principle caused both of them to fall into deep silence.

After a long time, Ruyou sighed and said dejectedly: "As for whether it is or not, I can only wait and see for now." ”

"Yes." If the school made a move, he said: "Before the son made his own opinion, sent a message to the front to explore the horse, while investigating, if he met people in need, he could help ...... help"

But this increases the risk of undercover exposure.

"It's annoying that this war is inevitable." Ruyou didn't raise his eyes, his mood was so complicated that he didn't want to say more, and waved his hand, "You have always done things in a measured way, you can just do it yourself." ”

If the school responded, "My son obeys", he went to work again.

Ruyou fell into the chair and sat down for a while, remembering that Xu Ruliang told him yesterday that he was going to see his brother in Xudu, so he went back to the house to see Xu Ruliang.

only to find that Xu Ruliang was no longer in the house.

Fang Changqing was also gone.

Whispered: "Two little cubs! "I didn't care about punishing the servant woman who knelt on the ground, and hurriedly assigned a team of reliable soldiers to chase the two in the direction of Xudu.

However, the news that came back in the next three days was not good news.

Ruyou was anxious, and sent an additional group of people every two days.

It wasn't until a day after the departure of the fourth group that they received the good news from the first group that the whereabouts of the master and apprentice had been traced.

But the two had already entered the barracks.

After crossing the Yangtze River in the south, it is considered to enter the south of the Yangtze River.

However, many of the soldiers in Wangshi's army were northerners, and when they went south for the first time, they would inevitably be unaccustomed to the water and soil, and doctors would inevitably be needed in the barracks.

Xu Ruliang had insight into the opportunity, disguised herself as a man, and played the barefoot doctor's master and apprentice with Fang Changqing, and when she arrived at the gate of the barracks, she recommended herself and was led into the barracks very smoothly.

After the third watch, there were still many soldiers who saw the doctor.

Fang Changqing took the next one, but said to the military leader who sent the soldiers over: "Lao Jia will find a place for the apprentices to live." ”

Since entering the barracks, the master and apprentice have also treated people like other military doctors, saving many brothers from the army. That's what makes sense.

The military leader looked at Xu Ruliang on the side, and saw that he was still an immature little doll, already fighting and drowsy. But he still insisted on fanning in front of the medicine stove, and he was moved.

Xu Ruliang gave Fang Changqing a hand, although he was young, he was diligent in his work, which was obvious to all.

The military leader also likes this little master and apprentice.

However, the barracks have the discipline of the barracks.

He didn't say yes right away.

Fang Chang calmly checked his illness and weakness, and said in a chattering voice: "My little apprentice followed me to the north and south, and he has practiced a kung fu that is not picky, regardless of place. As long as you can rest in seclusion, you can sleep when you lie down, and the haystack will become a ......" suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked up and smiled at the military leader, "Don't embarrass the military leader, right?" ”

They were all called "military heads", and if they couldn't find a place for people to sleep, they would also drop the price.

The military leader smiled: "Don't be embarrassed. ”

took Xu Ruliang to a straw stack not far from his own tent.

True!

Xu Ru scolded his belly. Dig into the haystacks. Endure the itch and pretend to sleep. It was not until the leader of the army left, and after a long while, that he came out from the other side.

rubbed the night and the scattered bonfires to find Xu Rujing's tent.

During the day, it was clear that the overall layout of the camp was circular, the middle was the big tent of the head, the outermost circle of the big head soldiers, and the middle was arranged and distributed from the inside to the outside according to 369.

There are four kinds of tents, the prince's tent, the commander's tent, the nobleman's tent and the Han soldier's tent.

The prince's big tent and the boss's big tent are one for each person. It's luxurious. Five children of the nobility slept in one tent, relatively. The tents are relatively small and look pointy, like bamboo shoots. Fifty soldiers of the Han tribe slept in one tent, and the tent was very wide, like a bun.

However, there are not many types of tents, but there are many of them. An army of 150,000 gathered in one place, and the bamboo shoots and buns added up to no less than 5,000. How easy is it to find a person among them?

But fortunately, Xu Rujing has a high grade.

With his rank, he probably lived in the nearest circle of bamboo shoots to the tent, that is, he was found from more than thirty tents, and the range was much smaller.

That's probably the only thing to be thankful for.

Xu Ruliang had a clear goal, hiding in the shadow of the tent and walking all the way to the inner circle, the closer he got to the center, the more cautious he became. After passing by the patrol guards several times, she was almost discovered, and she was so nervous that she was like a frightened cat, and the cold hairs on her back stood up.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and I finally approached the innermost circle.

It's only a stone's throw away from my brother.

Xu Ruliang thought silently in his heart, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

When they arrived here, they were all the children of the clan and the sons and grandsons of the clan lords, and the guards and patrols were closer and stricter than those of the outer circle. If you make the slightest mistake and are discovered, it is not only a matter of losing your previous efforts, but you may also be corrected on the spot.

If you lose your head, you can't draw it.

Moreover, even if he finds the tent where Xu Rujing is, he can't take it lightly, and he has to beware of some people who are in the same account with him. Wouldn't it be stupid if it was the opposite, and she rashly broke in to recognize her brother?

Gotta think of a perfect solution.

Xu Ruliang pondered and stopped acting for a while.

I only heard the whistling river wind in my ears, and the sound of hunting flags was blowing.

The night was so scorching that people panicked.

The firewood in the brazier burned brightly, and the firelight lit up half of the sky at night.

There are not many shadows for her to hide.

There is not much time left for her - no matter how late it is, my brother will go to bed, how can he receive her signal to come out to see her?

It's time to act.

Xu Ruliang made a decision, unconsciously flipped the fingertip chess pieces, and the speed was extremely fast, so that her heart beated.

Stand up against the pillars of the tent, and move to another tent as you would like.

Before he could step out, a narrow shadow suddenly appeared on the road in front of him.

A patrol is coming.

Xu Ruliang hurriedly retracted his steps and hid next to the tent.

Twelve guards marched past in a procession with spears in hand, their sonorous footsteps kicking up a puff of dust.

Close at hand, Xu Ruliang seemed to be able to smell the smell of sweat in the dust, so nervous that his heart jumped to his throat, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Degrees and seconds are dormant like years.

By the time the patrol finally left, his palms were already soaking wet.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm!

Xu Ruliang let out a long breath and set off again, but suddenly heard a stern reprimand: "What person!" Before he could react, he was surrounded by twelve bright spearheads. (To be continued......)
