Chapter 251: Fear
"Then, it's better for General Zhao and I to take half of the men and horses through the cave, and Zhao Gongzi will take half of the men and horses to follow your original route." Mu Qingfeng knew that Zhao Linrui was deliberately finding fault, but now was not the time to lose his temper, so he thought of a way to let him stop.
Zhao Linrui didn't follow, and when he was about to open his mouth to resist, he was glared at by General Zhao, and he no longer argued with Mu Qingfeng, "Okay, do it like this." ”
At noon, the soldiers who had been reorganized entered the cave in an orderly manner according to the marching team, it was very smooth, a group of people and horses followed the route just explored, the cave was dim, the person who led the way lit a torch, the bats in the cave were frightened by the movement of the people, and flew up to the top of the cave, and there was chaos for a while, and the soldiers were inexplicably afraid of these black bats, and the team had a panicked situation.
Mu Qingfeng knew very well that the road in this cave was uneven, and if the soldiers panicked, an accident would inevitably occur, so he immediately shouted, "Keep in formation, march carefully, these are just bats, and the manly man is still afraid of this?" A little reminder, a little deliberate ridicule.
These are men with strong blood, and if they are said to be afraid, it will damage their face.
The team returned to its previous order.
It didn't take long to see a dazzling light at the exit, Mu Qingfeng and General Zhao took the lead out of the cave, at this time the sky began to rain lightly, Mu Qingfeng hurriedly asked people to urge the people behind them, let them speed up the pace of travel, and before the rain fell, the team led by Mu Qingfeng all arrived, and after this place, it was not far from the pass, and it was not far from the border pass at that time.
General Zhao was really relieved, and sent someone to inquire about Zhao Linrui's news, but there was no one who saw him, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so he couldn't pass this dangerous peak at all.
Mu Qingfeng ordered the soldiers to find a good place to avoid the mountains and set up camp, and the soldiers began to get busy, seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, but Zhao Linrui had no news, let alone a figure.
General Zhao was anxious and restless, and sent people to investigate several times in a row, but they all returned in vain.
"The general is calm and impatient, Zhao Gongzi is talented, and if he senses the danger, he will definitely not rush forward, so we will wait for the time being." Mu Qingfeng comforted General Zhao, this is not yet on the battlefield, and he can't mess with himself.
The rain didn't stop as soon as it started, the rain overnight didn't stop until the next day, although it wasn't a torrential rain, but the river had risen a lot, and the hole that came out before, after a night and the rain of this day, returned to the appearance that Mu Qingfeng saw that night.
At this time, you must not easily enter the cave, and the bottom of the cave may not be overflowing.
Another night of anxious waiting, according to the original plan, it took three days to pass this place, seeing that two days had passed, but Zhao Linrui had no news, and General Zhao didn't dare to think about the worst.
Zhao Linrui is the third generation of their Zhao family, if there is a slight mistake, how will General Zhao face the ancestors and ancestors, and his own heartache.
On the third day, the rain stopped, and by noon the water at the mouth of the cave had gradually receded, and the width of the cave had increased a lot.
General Zhao has been guarding outside the cave, hoping that Zhao Linrui's figure will appear at the entrance of the cave. But until evening, not half of them came out of this place.
The uneasiness in his heart lingered in his heart.
A small soldier brought the words, and trotted all the way to General Zhao's side, "General, young master, they have arrived." ”
As soon as he heard this, General Zhao immediately rushed to the foot of the mountain, and saw the embarrassed figure of Zhao Linrui appearing in front of him, General Zhao finally showed a long-lost smile on his face, and stretched his eyebrows and eyes, as if he saw hope.
Zhao Linrui was indeed tired, and there were several blackened blood stains on his body, which looked strange.
"Rui'er, what's wrong with you." General Zhao hurriedly helped Zhao Linrui down, Zhao Linrui lost the strength to continue to speak, and fell into his father's arms.
In the past two days, Zhao Linrui traveled around the mountain path, but in the rain, the road was slippery, and the speed of the carriage and horse slowed down a lot, but it didn't take long to encounter a landslide, although Zhao Linrui woke up in time and let people retreat into the cave passing by, or a person who was hit by a falling rock, he was superb in martial arts to avoid falling rocks, but in order to rescue others or injured, although it was some flesh wounds, but after two days of rain soaking or inflammation.
There were many injured people in the team, which made Mu Qingfeng start to worry.
Fortunately, Mu Qing is here, he understands medical skills, and several accompanying doctors bandage and reduce inflammation for these wounded soldiers.
Perhaps it was two days of high concentration, which made Zhao Linrui exhausted, and he fell asleep in the camp tent for a day and a night. Fortunately, there was no delay in the marching procession.
Before, Mu Qingfeng proposed to lead the team separately, firstly, to avoid the conflict between himself and Zhao Linrui, and secondly, because the number of people was reduced, the time would be reduced, even if it was raining, Zhao Linrui could not move forward, and he would probably be able to arrive in time according to the time, and would not delay the plan to go out.
Mu Qingfeng calculated that Zhao Linrui would not get into the cave, so without any news from him in the past few days, he had already guessed that they might be in trouble.
Mu Qingfeng asked Mu Qing to help Zhao Linrui deal with his injuries, and let General Zhao rest in the camp together, pitying the hearts of his parents all over the world, and General Zhao didn't sleep well in the past two days.
Then. The responsibility of presiding over the overall situation was handed over to Mu Qingfeng. He arranged for the later injured personnel and asked the doctor to bandage them one by one to reduce inflammation.
He also asked people to prepare food for the evening, and the place where they camped was not far from the river, and let them go to the river to catch fish, and the soldiers had not opened meat for a long time.
The fish caught was stewed in fish soup, this full meal made everyone regain their spirits, and in private, there were soldiers talking about Mu Qingfeng, saying that he was not the same as those noble sons, just in the past few days, his decision-making has not made any mistakes, and even made enough preparations to deal with the accidents that will occur, which makes everyone admire.
These words. It was Mu Qing who told Mu Qingfeng, but he was not moved at all but felt that the situation was very serious, now Zhao Linrui was injured, and more than a dozen soldiers were also injured, if he disagreed with Zhao Linrui again, I don't know what else would go wrong.
At night, after General Zhao woke up, he heard from the people around him that Mu Qingfeng invited him to the tent to discuss matters.
After experiencing the events of the past few days, General Zhao found that Mu Qingfeng was unfathomable, and now he didn't dare to slack off, because of Zhao Linrui's affairs, he was still a little afraid of Mu Qingfeng.
After thinking about it again, he decided to meet Mu Qingfeng, and no matter what, he had to stabilize his military heart.
