As soon as the morning dawned, Yao Jin led three thousand cavalry back to the station, and they brought back thousands of camels at the same time, loaded with a large amount of property, which was originally intended to be transported back to Xiazhou by the party after the beginning of spring.

Guo Song naturally will not hand over these belongings to the government, the party people looted extremely cruelly, basically did not leave any living mouth, the bitter owner has been killed, and these properties can not be returned to the owner, handing over to the government will only become a feast for corrupt officials to divide up their property, it is better to leave it to improve the living conditions of the soldiers, to compensate the fallen soldiers.

Guo Song then ordered the whole army to set off, and the Ganzhou army continued to march westward with a mighty baggage brigade.

Ten days later, the team crossed the Yellow River in Lanzhou and walked for several days, the time had reached the beginning of March, the spring of the Hexi Corridor had completely arrived, the air was warm and humid, and there was a scene of spring and prosperity everywhere.

On the morning of this day, the team finally entered the territory of Liangzhou, and it would take about ten days to reach Zhangye City, but after entering the Hexi Corridor, everyone psychologically felt that Ganzhou was not far away, and it was getting closer and closer.

Liangzhou is basically still based on farming, especially in the south, a large number of Han people live, and after passing the Jialan County in the north, the farmland gradually disappears, into an endless grassland, although Liangzhou is mainly farming, but the first city in the Hexi Corridor is Zhangye City, and it is also the residence of Hexi Jiedu Mansion.

After killing more than 1,000 people of the Hui delegation last year, the first emperor Li Yu transferred him to the governor of Liangzhou, which was regarded as a flat adjustment, and he was not held accountable for killing the Hui mission.

Some of the armor brought by Guo Song this time was the armor delivered to the Liangzhou Army by the Ordnance Supervisor, and there were about 5,000 pairs, which were transported by Guo Song's team.

After walking for almost a month, everyone was a little tired, although the scenery on the Hexi Corridor was beautiful, but everyone had no intention of appreciating it, and just wanted to camp and rest earlier.

Guo Song looked at the sky, it was not long after noon, and it was still a little early to camp now, he said to the soldiers: "Go and inform everyone, speed up, and strive to camp by the Qingshui River in front." ”

The team sped up, and at this time, Xue Tao sent Xiao Yuniang to find Guo Song, Guo Song hurried over and asked, "Has her condition worsened?" ”

When crossing the Yellow River, Ah Qiu caught a cold, and the journey was tired, and he fell ill, he had been sick for five days, and he did not get better at all, but his condition became more and more serious, and she was not the only one who fell ill, among more than 1,000 family members, many old people and children also fell ill, and several military doctors were busy during this time.

Xue Tao nodded worriedly, "Her forehead is very hot, I started last night, I'm really worried!" ”

Guo Song stretched out his hand and touched Ah Qiu's forehead, it was very hot, at least forty degrees, the person was already in a semi-comatose state, it seemed that the military doctor's medicine did not work, he had to go to Guzang County to find a famous doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but here is at least a hundred miles away from Guzang County, at this rate, it will be at least two days before it arrives, I am afraid that Ah Qiu will not be able to hold it at that time.

Guo Song immediately made a decision, "I will take her to Guzang County on horseback first, and I can arrive before dawn tomorrow, and I must rescue her." ”

Xue Tao nodded, "That's what I mean, the husband took Ah Qiu to go first, and the little fish lady stayed with me, and there are so many domestic servants!" ”

"I'll arrange it and I'll be back shortly!"

Guo Song turned his horse's head and went to the Chinese army, he brought a few Zhonglang generals and said to them: "I have a family member who is seriously ill, I will take her to Guzang County in front of me for treatment, twenty miles ahead is the Qingshui River, you will camp by the river, let everyone have a good rest, and then set off after I come back." ”

Zhonglang General Luo Daxiao is a native of Liangzhou, and he hurriedly said: "Liu Yuzhen, the father of Liu Hejing, the owner of Huichun Hall in Guzang County, is a royal doctor who returned to his hometown, and his medical skills are extremely clever, equipped with secret medicines, and he is nicknamed Yan Luochou, but he basically doesn't treat people now, and the governor either coerces him or buys him, this person is rich." ”

"Thanks for the news, I know what to do now!"

Guo Song called Kang Bao, who was the military training bishop, and asked him to protect his mother, he returned to the convoy, found Xue Tao and said: "I have arranged everything, you will be stationed in the camp tomorrow to rest for a day, and set off early the day after tomorrow, and I will strive to come back tomorrow afternoon." ”

Xue Tao wrapped Ah Qiu in a woolen blanket and handed it to Guo Song, Guo Song took her and put it on his horse, and said to Xiao Yuniang: "You have to protect the housemother, don't be careless!" ”

"I know, Childe can go with confidence!"

Guo Song took Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu to gallop towards Guzang County on two horses, Xue Tao looked at the back of his husband and ran away, he was really worried in his heart, and he didn't know if Ah Qiu could be saved.

.........

Guzang County is the seat of the Governor's Mansion of Liangzhou, which is today's Wuwei, Guo Song galloped all the way with two retinues, the wind was whistling in his ears, he controlled the horse with one hand, and held Ah Qiu tightly in his arms with the other hand.

Ah Qiu was groggy, sometimes confused, sometimes conscious, she knew that Gongzi was saving her life, and her heart was extremely moved, and at the same time she was a little scared.

"Childe, am I going to die?" She asked weakly in Guo Song's arms.

"What nonsense, you just have a serious fever, I'm afraid that your brain will be burned out, so I took you to see a famous doctor, you are still 108,000 miles away from death!"

"Childe, this is how my mother died, it was originally just a small cough, and the family had no money for treatment, but then it became more and more serious, and finally coughed up blood and died."

"Don't worry! With me, you can't die, stop thinking nonsense. ”

Ah Qiu sighed faintly, "Childe, you said that my brother is still alive?" ”

"Your brother should be in Tian Chenghe's army, I will find him for you when I have the chance, there has been no war in these years, he should still be alive."

Ah Qiu's tears flowed out, "My brother has been sending money back, but then he didn't send it, my uncle said he was dead, in fact, I also know that he is dead, son, I don't have any relatives." ”

Guo Song's heart ached for a while, and he hugged her tightly, "Don't think about it, you still have us!" Although I am your master, I am also your relative, so you should treat me as your brother! ”

Ah Qiu hugged Guo Song and cried, and after a while, she was tired of crying and fell asleep again.

At the first watch, they arrived in Guzang County, the city gate had been closed, and there were soldiers patrolling the city, Yang Jun stepped forward and shouted: "The governor of Ganzhou Guo has arrived, please open the city gate!" ”

The general on duty at the head of the city said coldly: "Governor Zhang has an order, not to open the city gate at night, even if he himself comes, the violator will be beheaded, I'm sorry, no matter who it is, the city gate can't be opened." ”

Yang Jun was furious and was about to scold, but Guo grabbed him, "Don't shout anymore, they won't open the city gate, I will go in by myself." ”

Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu knew the master's ability, so they stopped calling the door, and they went around to the east of the city, and there happened to be a dilapidated boat on the moat, half of which had sunk to the bottom of the river, and a head was exposed on the river.

Guo Song woke up Ah Qiu, carried her behind him, asked her to wrap her around her neck, wrapped her tightly with a woolen blanket, and tied her to herself with a long rope, Ah Qiu was very light and had little impact on Guo Song.

"I'll go first, and tomorrow at dawn you will go into the city to find me in the Spring Hall."

"Watch out for yourself!"

Guo Song took a few steps back, jumped into the middle of the river, put his foot on the bow of the boat, crossed the moat one foot and five feet wide, and landed lightly and skillfully under the city wall like a leaf.

"Ah Qiu, hold my neck!"

"I know! I hugged it tightly. ”

Ah Qiu hugged Guo Song's neck tightly, Guo Song looked up at the city wall, the city wall was less than three zhang high, and there were many cracks on it, he took out two chisels, inserted them into the cracks, and quickly climbed towards the city head.

In just a moment, he climbed up to the top of the city, hid behind the battlements and looked at it, there were no soldiers on it, he jumped into the city, ran two steps, only to see a black shadow flash, he had reached the opposite side, with the help of the chisel in his hand, Guo Song quickly went down the city, carrying Ah Qiu into an alley.

After a short time, he ran to Wuwei Street, which was closed, without a single pedestrian, and was extremely deserted.

'Bang-Bang! Bang! A groomer approached.

Guo Song hurriedly greeted him, "May I ask the eldest brother, where is the Rejuvenation Hall?" ”

Seeing that Guo Song was still carrying a person on his back, it was estimated that he was in a hurry, so he turned his head and pointed, "Did you see those two big lanterns?" That's the Rejuvenation Hall, even if you knock on the door, there are people at night. ”

"Thank you!"

Guo Song carried Ah Qiu on his back and ran towards the two big lanterns of dead air, and under the reflection of the light, he could see a large plaque with the three big characters of 'Rejuvenation Hall' written in gold powder letters.

There was also a thick knocker at the door, Guo Song stepped forward and slapped the knocker hard, "Open the door!" ”

After a while, the lights came on, and someone yawned impatiently and asked, "Who!" ”

"If you are sick, please open the door!"

Ah Qiu passed out again, and Guo Song felt that she was hot all over, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

The people inside said impatiently: "Two times for night consultation, if you don't have it, you will come back at dawn!" ”

"Rich!"

The door finally 'creaks!' With a bang, Guo Song flashed in, and opened the door to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, presumably a decoction boy, he yawned and said, "Come with me!" I'll take you to the doctor. ”

Guo Song shook his head, "I'm very sick, I'm afraid ordinary doctors can't!" ”

"My proprietor has ten yuan for a night consultation, is there any money?"

"I want to see your old proprietor!"

The eyes of the decoction boy widened suddenly.
