Chapter Eighty-Seven: Stargazing
Shi Qian sighed beside Wei Qing: "It's the first time Dutong has seen this kind of strange thing, right? There are not 1,000 but 800 tombs stolen by Shi Qian, and this is the first time I have seen this kind of thing. Shi Qian would rather give up countless treasures to join the army, one is to see Wei Dutong's sword, and the other is because of this tomb. β
Shi Qian took out a handkerchief from his arms and slowly handed it to Wei Qing, his expression was as if he was holding a priceless treasure, and he had not taken out the bag full of jewels so solemnly.
Wei Qing took the handkerchief, and the first thing he saw was blood. The handkerchief was actually written in blood line by line, and the more the handwriting became more and more weak and messy, plus the blood spots splashed on the spots, only the first few lines could still be seen clearly. Wei Qing took a closer look through the moonlight, and saw that it was written: The little woman worships the king of Yama again, the little woman's husband is honest, and the newlywed left the army for seven days, and there has been no news for three years. The little girl has nothing to love in her life, so she only wants the king of Yamaγγγγγγ
The handwriting below is illegible.
"She wanted to ask Hades to help her find her husband's soul and place it on this stone statue." Shi Qian whispered on the side, "This blood is the blood on her wrist, she committed suicide by cutting her wrists." β
Wei Qing's hands trembled a little, and he hurriedly returned the blood book to Shi Qian: "Put it back, maybe Hades will help her for her sake." β
Shi Qian agreed, jumped into the pit, and put the blood book next to the woman again.
Wei Qing knelt down at the edge of the pit, bowed respectfully to the woman four times, took the knife from the assassin on one side, and dug down to fill the pit.
Shi Qian jumped up from the pit, saw that Wei Qing was filling the soil with a knife, and it was very difficult to fill, and wanted to persuade Wei Qing, but he opened his mouth and did not speak. He knew that if he didn't let Wei Qing fill in a few soils, Wei Qing's heart would be uneasy.
At dawn, two people sat under a tree.
Although Shi Qian was born thin and small, he was not ambiguous at all when he walked, and he could easily keep up with the horse, which surprised Wei Qing. What surprised Wei Qing even more was the amount of food he ate, eight large steamed buns, he ate them so easily, he didn't know if his stomach was in his body or somewhere else, these eight big steamed buns went in, at least half of the belly's space, how big was his stomach?
"Let's go." Wei Qing saw that Shi Qian had almost eaten, stood up and stretched, yawned, and planned to boil it up again, at this rate, he could reach the barracks at noon.
Shi Qian did not answer. He was looking up at the sky.
"Shi Qian!" Wei Qing called him.
Shi Qian took out a small plate engraved with strange symbols from his arms and looked at it, and then smiled at Wei Qing: "Dutong, take a rest first, there will be a heavy rain soon." β
"Will you look at the sky? So surely? "Wei Qing Daqi, thinking to himself, this kid still has this kind of ability?
"Of course I will." Shi Qian had a hint of pride, "Look at the sky, look at the topography, astrology, water division, gold positioning, every tomb robber knows a little bit, but there are not many people like me who are so proficient." β
Wei Qing listened to Shi Qian's boasting, and seemed to believe it for a while. Shi Qian seemed very confident in his judgment, and hurriedly took out an oilcloth to support a canopy from the branches.
Wei Qing watched Shi Qian busy with his work, thinking that since he was so solemn, let's see if it was true or false first, so he also turned over and dismounted, resting on the side.
The sky suddenly darkened. It was sunny just now, but now in the blink of an eye, dark clouds rolled, the wind blew fiercely, and with a few low thunders, a torrential downpour fell from the sky in an instant. Wei Qing's mouth opened wide in surprise, he didn't expect Shi Qian to really have this ability!
"Wei Dutong, come here to take shelter, this is a torrential rain, not small!" Shi Qian beckoned under the awning. Wei Qing turned over and stood up, hurriedly got into the awning, and stood side by side with Shi Qian to watch the rain. The thunder was rolling in the sky, the downpour was non-stop, the rain that flowed down from the branches of the trees was gathered into small streams on the ground, the wind blew harder and stronger, the heavy rain fell from the sky frantically, the dark clouds rose, and the dark sky seemed to collapse. The wind chases the rain, the rain chases the wind, the wind and the rain unite to chase the dark clouds in the sky, and the whole heaven and earth are in the rain.
"How long is it going to rain?" After a long time of rain, Wei Qing couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and asked loudly in Shi Qian's ear.
Shi Qian took out his small plate again, looked at it for a while, and said loudly to Wei Qing in the whirring wind: "It will stop in half an hour!" Stargazing is never a lie! β
Wei Qing knew that the thing in Shi Qian's hand was called the stargazing disk, and at this moment he already trusted Shi Qian's ability to observe the heavens, and said with a smile: "It's daytime now, there are no stars to observe, I hope this stargazing disk will not be wrong." β
"You can't go wrong!" Shi Qian was a little anxious, not realizing that Wei Qing was joking with him, and promised again and again: "This plate is called stargazing, but it doesn't have to have stars." Under the nickname of the stargazing thief, it is not to look at the stars before goingγγγγγγ He suddenly realized that he was trapping himself with this, and he slapped himself in the face and shut his mouth.
Wei Qing puffed out his cheeks and forced a smile, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and didn't know what to do.
The rain came and went as fast as it came, and after half an hour, the wind stopped raining, the clouds cleared, and the sun shone again. Wei Qing gave Shi Qian a thumbs up and turned over on his horse: "You can leave this time, right?" β
Shi Qian jumped on the spot and said with a smile: "Although Wei Dutong is moving forward, Shi Qian can keep up!" β
Around mid-afternoon, Wei Qing and Shi Qian approached the station of the third team on the left. Wei Qing couldn't help but stretch his waist on the horse, looked at Shi Qian, and thought to himself that this guy looked thin and small, but when he walked, he had wind under his feet, and he was really a character with connotation.
"Wei Dutong, what are that group of soldiers going to do?" Shi Qian pointed forward.
Wei Qing looked forward and saw a group of soldiers coming out of the camp under the banner, and the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was heard in the distance. Wei Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. That banner is obviously the banner of his thousand-man team!
"Let's go, that's my team!" Wei Qing said to Shi Qian, and immediately added a whip.
The figure around him flickered, and Shi Qian had already rushed out from Wei Qing's horse, although Wei Qing's horse was fast, it was not as fast as Shi Qian's footsteps!
Wei Qing was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that the person he met this time was really a capable person, although he was born a tomb robber, but only the prodigal son turned back and did not change his money, as long as he could fight with all his strength in the future, he would definitely be a promising person.
"Drive!" Wei Qing urged the horse again, the horse let go of its hooves and ran forward, but Shi Qian was still running in front of the horse, looking at the speed as if he had not done his best, and the breath was long, if this person and a horse wanted to compare, I really don't know whether the horse would win or Shi Qian would win in the end.
Wei Qing and Shi Qian ran all the way to the front of the team, and from a distance, they saw Bai Buxin leading the team forward, Liu Qi on the left, and Chen Qingzhi on the right, it seemed that they were going to perform some patrol or other tasks, and they were not in a hurry, and their expressions were not anxious.
Several people also saw Wei Qing, and couldn't help cheering in unison, Bai Buxin stepped forward on the horse, facing Wei Qing's horse's head, the two of them held each other's hands, and they were quite emotional in their hearts.
Bai Buxin has always been silent, he knows that although Wei Qing has been in Beijing for a short time this time, he must have experienced a lot of dangers, Gu Shangshu definitely does not have such kindness to specially summon Wei Qing to commend him, but since Wei Qing has returned with his whole body, no matter how much danger has passed, so he didn't say much, just said four words: "It's good to be safe!" β
Wei Qing nodded and smiled. These four words are really appropriate, peace, the biggest dream of many soldiers. He smiled and said: "How can General Bai Shen lower his own value and be the commander of the thousand-man team?" β
Bai Buxin smiled slightly and replied, "Before March, I was just a metropolitan commander. Then he said the reason in a few words.
It turned out that in the past few days, the Han and Jin armies were busy preparing for war, and they were at peace for a while, but yesterday Wu Ming suddenly heard the report that the grain official An Ran'an had sent a large amount of grain and grass over. This is a big accident, you must know that the grain and grass have been repeatedly urged to be too late in the past, how did you take the initiative to send it this time? Wu Ming hurriedly ordered to send troops to pick it up, but it was empty, and after inquiry, he realized that this grain transportation team didn't know what was going on, and actually bypassed the Han army camp and moved forward, and they were almost on the edge of the Nanhe River, and they didn't know which idiot was in charge of escorting, and they would actually go the wrong way------ Wu Ming naturally didn't know, in fact, they didn't take the wrong road at all, this road was set by An Ran himself, and Gu Shangshu specially instructed An Ran to go this way. This batch of grain and grass is the grain and grass that Gu Shangshu promised to give to Jin Jun.
If you want to send grain and grass to the Jin army, you naturally can't blatantly send it, so Gu Shangshu instructed An Ran to transport the grain and grass to the Nanhe River for a spin, and wait for the Jin army to come and rob the grain. Although it seems to be on the wrong side on the surface, this position is on the left side of the Han Army's Left Route Army, and it is also far away from the Jin Army, so even if it is investigated, it can be said that what he did is not very wrong, who would have thought that the Jin Army would run so far?
Wu Ming heard that this grain and grass actually went the wrong way, and the third team on the left happened to be camped on the far left side of the left army, so he urgently ordered Ma Chao to send troops to meet him, and Ma Chao gave this task to Bai Buxin. Bai Buxin was thinking that Wei Qing had received more than 2,000 remnants of the left second team before, although it had been rectified, but he didn't know how it was in actual combat, and now this task was not dangerous, but it was to pick up the grain team, and the position of the grain team was so far away from the battlefield, there would be no big problem in the future, just to practice these 2,000 soldiers, so he personally led Wei Qing's 1,000 troops and 2,000 left 2nd road remnants, and ordered Liu Qi and Chen Qingzhi to temporarily take on the post of Xiaodu commander as an assistant, and went out of the camp to meet the grain team in a hurry.
