(Chapter 15) Tuzhou Rebellion - The wilderness snow is deep and loveless

As soon as I entered the guest room, I lay on my stomach and fell asleep.

In fact, Sun Hu's persuasion is good, I am indeed holding on now, and I am holding on all the way. I have to admit that the arrow wound on my back was more severe than I had expected.

However, even if it is hard to resist, I have to carry it.

I understand that if I want to compete with Gu Yuancheng and distinguish between right and wrong, I must pay the price I deserve.

Arrow wounds? The price is too small.

When I woke up from my sleep, Sun Hu was standing next to my bed.

I rubbed my temples and sat up on my own.

Sun Hu poured me a cup of hot tea from the table next to him.

"Has the snow stopped outside?"

Sun Hu shook his head: "It's still down." ”

I took a sip of tea and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Whisk."

I nodded, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and casually placed the teacup in the corner of the bookcase.

Sun Hu saw my posture and knew what I was going to do, so he stepped forward and pressed my hand to hold the brush.

"Xiangye, your fever has just subsided."

I was stunned for a moment.

When I woke up, I felt sore, and when I saw the bright moon outside the window, I knew that I must be in a bad situation, but I just didn't expect that Sun Hu, who has always been rational and restrained, would stop me from reviewing the folds so strongly.

"Okay." I was a little moved, "I just woke up, and if you let me go to sleep now, I won't do it." Well, I'm just hungry, how about we go downstairs to the lobby for dinner? ”

Knowing that this was the biggest compromise I had ever made, Sun Hu no longer insisted that I eat in the wing. He took the cloak from the hanger and draped it over me, then opened the door to the side room first.

I looked at myself from bottom to top, and I didn't think I was a piece of waste now.

I walked out of the chamber in confusion, and before I had taken two steps, a stove was shoved into my hand.

I look at him.

Sun Hu said: "Please also take care of your body." ”

With a little dark light in my eyes, I smiled at Sun Hu, and then walked downstairs.

Sun Hu looked at the calm, leisurely and leisurely figure, and his heart was moved for a while.

There was something hidden in his sleeve, something that made him feel like fire. He thought that no matter what the future holds, if he survives in the end, it will be a thousand dangers, and he will also go to her grave to offer a glass of sake.

"Sun Hu, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Young Master Ben is going to eat, hungry, hungry!"

Sun Hu came back to his senses, and he immediately went downstairs to the back kitchen.

This subordinate is really cute when he is stupid.

I put the stove on the table and got up to put the dishes and chopsticks for him and myself.

Sun Hu walked out of the kitchen with Xiao Er after a while, and he put a large bowl of medicinal soup in his hand in front of me.

When he saw me setting up the dishes and chopsticks, he was stunned.

I frowned at the decoction in front of me and sighed in my heart.

That's it, that's it, it's just a bowl of medicine, what is there to be afraid of.

"I'll drink the medicine, and you'll take care of these meals." I picked up the medicine spoon and said to Sun Hu.

Sun Hu refused, "These are all medicinal foods, which are for Xiangye to replenish your body." ”

"Huh?" I was surprised, "I'm not a medicine jar, a medicinal diet?" It's too much fuss, isn't it? ”

Sun Hu moved a large pot of boiled medicinal soup in front of me.

"Does Xiangye believe the doctor's diagnosis, or only his own judgment?"

Uh, what's this......

I waved my hand to let Xiao Er leave first.

"Xiaohu, come, sit." I got up and helped him move the bench away, "Don't be so sideways and eyebrow-raising, it will affect this good-looking face too much." ”

Sun Hu didn't dare to sit down, so I pressed him down.

Sitting back in my seat, I said, "After watching me for seven or eight hours, lunch and dinner are useless, right?" ”

Sun Hudao: "Protecting Xiangye's safety is also one of my duties. ”

"It's also one of your duties to eat with me." I said, "Eat it while it's cold." It's been a long time, right? ”

Sun Hu didn't move.

"In the past few days, you have accompanied me on the road, either carrying me to the doctor, or braving the rain and snow to buy me medicine...... It's good that your body hasn't been dragged down by me, why do you still learn from my hard mouth? If you don't eat it, then I'll have to pour it all out, and we'll continue on our way. ”

Sun Hu finally didn't have a problem with me, he got up and served me a bowl of soup, and by the way, he also served a bowl himself.

I motioned for him to drink first, and when Sun Hu saw that I was real, he didn't shirk anymore, and drank the bowl upside down.

The master is right, he has been hungry for a long time.

Seeing him gobble, I chuckled and pushed what he had served me in front of him.

Sun Hu knew that I didn't want to eat, and I didn't have much appetite all the way, so he didn't want to embarrass me, so he took it.

I picked up the soup and drank it slowly.

After half an hour, I saw that Sun Hu had almost eaten, so I stood up and held the stove in my arms.

Sun Hu looked at me, and I smiled at him, "Xiao Hu, let's go to the grove ahead, shall we?" ”

"You're not well." Sun Hu thought about it, and there was only this sentence to say.

"Hmm." I nodded, agreeing with him.

Sun Hu stared at me for a long time, and finally sighed.

"I'll go get an umbrella."

In the dead of night, the snow was fluttering, and the whirring cold wind carried the ice and snow from the woods, and the light in my hand was dimmed, and when I saw that it was about to go out, I hurriedly used my body to block the oncoming wind.

"Is there anything you want to command?" Sun Hu asked.

"Something important." I straightened my face: "This year's heavy snow is not good. ”

Hearing what I said, Sun Hu reacted immediately.

"You're saying that this will affect the disaster in Tuzhou?"

I nodded, "Tuzhou was originally a poor land, and it was hit by an uprising, coupled with heavy snow for several days...... I am afraid that in less than a month, Tuzhou will be starving to death. ”

"Xiangye wants his subordinates to return to Beijing first and explain this matter to His Majesty?"

I nodded, and shook my head again.

Sun Hu looked at me puzzled.

I said, "Do you remember, where is Tuzhou the closest?" ”

Sun Hu thought for a while and said, "Xiaoyuan Town." ”

I then asked, "Where is the nearest town to Xiaoyuan?" ”

Sun Hu thought of something, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his thoughts.

Seeing the surprise in his eyes, I nodded and said, "That's what you think." ”

Sun Hu took a deep breath.

"Buda, they are tribal people, nomadic people for generations. They have no rich land, no crops; They don't have carved houses, they can't fix a place to live; They don't have the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucius and Mencius sages, they can't understand etiquette, righteousness, shame, ethics and morality, the only thing they have is the vast grassland, now the heavy snow is continuous, the grassland must be withered grass, their cattle and sheep will starve to death in this winter, if you want to live, I am afraid that it is indispensable to steal and abduct. I said.

Hearing what I said, Sun Hu calmed down, he thought for a while, and then said to me, "This matter is very important, if we don't get it, our country will have to go to war with the country, compared to this matter, the Tuzhou uprising is not a matter that you have to do, you might as well go back to Beijing, right?" ”

I laughed and took the oil-paper umbrella from his hand.

"Xiaohu, you are wrong, the trip to Tuzhou is under the holy decree, and it is a sure thing, I have to do it, but the battle on the frontier is not for me, a powerless person."

"My subordinates don't understand."

I took two steps forward, and the shimmering light of the fire stretched our shadows deep, and the trees on both sides shivered and shook in the cold wind of the night, and the whining of leaves echoed throughout the woods.

"When you go back, tell the emperor three things clearly. The first thing is that there is a fear of mutiny on the frontier, so the emperor will quickly send officials to prevent it. Second, the snow disaster in Tuzhou was serious, and the minister asked for the dispatch of relief grain and grass and the doctor of the Tai Hospital. The third thing, the disaster of Tuzhou, the minister will do his best to solve it, what should not be stayed, the minister will never leave a little, the minister asks the emperor to have enough confidence and trust in the minister. ”

Sun Hu subconsciously looked away, but even if I broke the words, he was not surprised.

After getting along in the past few years, he knows very well what kind of person the prime minister is.

Perhaps when the emperor gave him the secret decree, he guessed that the prime minister would be like this, and the secret decree was issued, but in fact it was just a temptation between the monarch and the ministers.

It's just that even if he guessed it from the beginning, he was not qualified to question anything.

"Since the matter of Tuzhou is Gu Xiang's handwriting, Gu Xiang may not be able to see the signs of raising troops if he does not reach the country, if he unites and fails to attack us, then we will not suffer from the enemy on our backs?"

I put out the light in my hand and turned back to look at him.

"You don't have to worry about this, although the country is collectively called a country, each tribe has its own faction within it, and their nominal leader is just a puppet whose power has been hollowed out. Gu Yuancheng has a little brain, he will not take a risk and win over a person who has no credibility at all and may bite back at any time and get into trouble. ”

Despite what I said, Sun Hu still had some concerns.

"Since Gu Xiang can use King Chen's orphan to rebel, he may not use the Buda tribe to suppress us."

"Xiaohu, I've recently opened my mind." I couldn't help but praise my subordinate, "But why do you look at your own master so flat?" ”

“……”

The conscience of heaven and earth, he just seeks truth from facts and analyzes the situation.

"Put your heart in your stomach, who is the person who will let him take advantage?" I patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, you can go now." After going to the capital to complete the message, you will stay in the capital and have a good rest, and you will try to go back as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, Sun Hu was about to open his mouth to object, but when he saw my eyes, he didn't say it after all.

He saluted me, "My subordinates are leaving." ”

I said, "Be careful all the way, there may be fleeing defeated soldiers and displaced people going to the capital." ”

"Yes, my subordinates know." Sun Hu said that, he turned around and went back to the inn to pack his luggage and lead the horse away.

I let out a breath of mist and walked into the woods with a shaky body, when suddenly a little light flickered in the shade of the trees in front of me, and I tightened my grip on the handle of my umbrella, and the sound of my breathing slowed down a little.

Hopefully not......
