Chapter 735: A Whim
Guan Tongshu led the twenty people below and embarked on the journey to find the blood lotus, it was already afternoon, although the sky was still bright, but the temperature was not so high, and he still felt that it was okay to walk on the road, Guan Tongshu put on long boots, held a sword in his hand, and the soldiers below, a few people opened the way in front, and a few people were behind, following Guan Tongshu just gritted his teeth and walked step by step.
The first mountain is not steep, Guan Tongshu quickly climbed up, the bottom of the group of people are better than Guan Tongshu, there are too many left, there is no sense of exhaustion, to the top of the mountain Guan Tongshu looked left and right, turned around and circled, but it was empty, there was almost no food growing here, to the top of the mountain seemed to be some large stones, are some barren land, Guan Tongshu looked at the sky at this time has darkened, and his heart is a little melancholy, She knew that it would not be so easy to find this legendary blood lotus.
"Brothers, now that it's dark, and the terrain here is quite flat, let's rest in place, and wait until tomorrow morning before we continue to set off, tomorrow's task is to climb the three mountains opposite."
Although Guan Tongshu was very disappointed in his heart, he quickly calmed down, and instructed the soldiers below, and the soldiers were also very cooperative after listening, and quickly opened all the things they were carrying, and used the tools inside to support a simple tent, which was specially built for Guan Tongshu, and the other soldiers just lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
The soldiers went hunting and came back soon, after burning it with dry firewood, they cleaned the hunting animals, put them on the branches, and then roasted the fire, Guan Tongshu sat aside at this time and watched quietly, the night sky was full of stars twinkling, she looked in the direction she set off, Qin Zhao didn't know what the situation was at this time.
Guan Tongshu's heart is not at peace at this time, although she is the queen, but when facing the serious illness of her beloved man, she is no longer this noble identity, she just wants to find this legendary blood lotus for Qin Zhao with a sincere heart, as long as she can make Qin Zhao wake up, even if it is at the cost of her life, she will do it as well.
Thinking of this, Guan Tongshu smiled slightly, perhaps, Qin Zhao rode into the queen mother's enemy camp and wanted to save himself at the moment, maybe it was also this mood, Guan Tongshu's heart was a little more sad at this time, thinking of Sun Yang, who sacrificed to protect the emperor, he was also a little embarrassed in his heart.
Before leaving, she had already told Taiwei Li to arrange the funeral for Sun Yang and make up for his family, of course, Guan Tongshu knew very well in her heart that no matter how much gold was supplemented, the pain of losing her loved ones for her family was difficult to make up, why not for her, if Qin Zhao had a slight accident and the two of them could not see each other again, it would be a pain that she could not forgive herself for the rest of her life.
"Queen Mother, the food has been examined, come and taste it, the wind in this valley is very strong and cold at night, you need to eat something to cushion your stomach, so as to avoid a trace of cold."
The soldiers below saw Guan Tongshu sitting alone with her legs on the side and baked food, so they sent some to Guan Tongshu, Guan Tongshu nodded, at this time, the soldiers below looked at her in coarse cloth clothes, as if they did not have the same cringe and respect as in the past, but they seemed to be approachable, many Guan Tongshu did not reject this feeling, and never felt that she was superior as a queen.
"Thank you!"
Guan Tongshu nodded, and the soldiers retreated, looking at the twenty soldiers gathered around the bonfire, talking and laughing, and looking lively, Guan Tongshu was extremely envious in her heart at this time, how she wished that she was just an ordinary folk woman, and Qin Zhao's ordinary acquaintance and acquaintance, and then married and lived a dull life, and there was no need to get involved in these disputes over the throne. 3800
If it weren't for this throne, why would the Queen Mother go to great lengths to treat Qin Zhao to death, and now it has become such a scene, if Qin Zhao was just an ordinary person fighting around him, there wouldn't be so much.
Guan Tongshu was not in the mood to eat at this time, and after eating a little bit of the food in her hand, she put it aside, put it back into her small tent, closed her eyes and fell asleep, listening to the sound of these soldiers talking outside the tent, Guan Tongshu recalled the scene when she and Qin Zhao came out.
It can almost be said between the two of them, the first time they met, it was a flash of fire, although she didn't want to enter the palace Qin Zhao didn't want to be the emperor, but these things happened to them, but it became a wonderful fate.
"Blood Lotus, Blood Lotus, where are you, it's hard to find a good one in this palace!"
Guan Tongshu sighed, muttered to herself and closed her eyes.
But this night Guan Tongshu was not sleeping peacefully, she was awakened again and again in the dream, and the dream was that Qin Zhao lost too much blood and died, the picture was so terrifying to him, Guan Tongshu woke up from the dream in shock, and then looked at it, she was covered in cold sweat, Guan Tongshu's face was pale at this time, but she smiled slightly, fortunately it was just a dream.
Guan Tongshu couldn't sleep at this time, walked out of the tent, sat on the big stone, and looked at the starry sky, tomorrow should also be a sunny day, but I don't know where this blood lotus blooms.
Yi Xian Qin Zhao's pale appearance, Guan Tongshu only felt that her heart was like a knife, if Qin Zhao was not to save her, she would not have broken into the camp of the Queen Mother, let alone be seriously injured in order to save her, as soon as she saw Qin Zhao's shoulders and chest, ankles were full of wounds, wrapped in thick gauze, covered with thick ointment, and the room was full of the smell of medicinal herbs, Guan Tongshu felt that her heart was like being whipped hard, and the whole heart was extremely uncomfortable and painful.
Just sitting on the edge of the stone, Guan Tongshu watched the night gradually disperse, and the dark dense clouds in the sky gradually revealed a glimmer of light, there was no one on the top of the mountain, and naturally there was no rooster crowing, but the sky was still lit up little by little, looking at the sun rising on the horizon in the distance, Guan Tongshu stood up and stretched, and the soldiers below were all awake at this time, Guan Tongshu went to the creek and took a basin of water to his face, The cold touch made her heart flutter suddenly.
Plants, like people, also need rain irrigation to grow, and although the terrain of the north of the mountain is complicated, but the climate here is even more confusing, it rarely rains here, so the plants that grow in the suburbs of the north of the mountain are not very many, blood lotus, this kind of plant, listen to the Tai Doctor's statement should grow in the place where the water source is abundant.
Thinking like this, Guan Tongshu suddenly had an idea in her heart, she felt that maybe today, they didn't have to climb the three mountains they originally planned, maybe they should change directions.
Guan Tongshu looked at this stream, the stream was flowing from a distance, they belonged to a low-lying area here, Guan Tongshu suddenly understood in her heart, maybe along this stream, she would be able to find the place where the blood lotus bloomed.
