Chapter 20: The Way Home
Shangguan Junyue was very satisfied with his focused appearance. The tiger father has no dogs, and the generalissimo has been upright all his life, offending many people. A few years ago in the imperial capital, in order to prevent those people from assassinating him, most of them were clumsy, pretending to be a gentleman to lower the vigilance of those people, but they pretended to be too similar.
He didn't return home all day long, and he was completely exposed to the noses of those people. Let them stare at growing up, and even I have deceived the past. However, Kou Huai's old fox should have noticed it, and specially cultivated a Mo Kun to balance him.
"I'm going to record that there's a lot of what you've said today that I couldn't have thought of. When I return to Kyoto, I will discuss with my father that maybe it is time for the Hedong Army to change its commander. Shangguan Junyue said.
"Give me the pen and ink."
Jing Ge looked around, he had already been out of Anyi City for a long time, and he couldn't go to the village in front of him, and he couldn't find the shop in the wilderness, where did he get the pen and ink, eldest lady.
Shangguan Junyue glanced at him with a strange face and said, "Something else can replace pen and ink." Hey, forget it, I'll do it myself, you pig. ”
She pulled out a feather from the package, the feather tube was hollow, and she could pick up ink and use it to write.
"Even if you have a feather as a pen, you don't have ink." Jing Ge said.
"Blood is ink." Shangguan Junyue stopped Liuyunju and let it stand up, no longer jolting and shaking.
"Good courage, I like a woman like you who is not afraid of pain." Jing Ge smiled and praised.
But the next moment, his smile froze, because Shangguan Junyue bit the back of his hand. Tear open a small piece of flesh, dip a quill in his right hand twice, and quickly write on the map, adding annotations.
She looked calm, there was still a bloodshot on her delicate red lips, and she said without raising her head, "What? Could it be that you are still using my blood? ”
Jing Ge took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. Damn, she asked so naturally, so reasonably, I was speechless.
After a long while, Shangguan Junyue put away the scroll and said, "Okay." ”
"It's finally good, it's painful to die." Jing Ge complained.
Shangguan Junyue looked at the small wound on the back of his hand, and frowned slightly. Fingers together took his wrist, probed his pulse, turned around, looked at him closely, and asked, "Have you felt any discomfort lately?" ”
Jing Ge shook his head blankly, he didn't feel any discomfort, but his spirit and spirit were faintly improved.
He followed Shangguan Junyue's gaze at the small wound on the back of his hand. Shangguan Junyue is proficient in medical Taoism, and the lower mouth naturally will not hurt the blood vessels, but it is just a very small opening. But this small wound is still slowly oozing blood after a long time, and it is a little abnormal. In general, small wounds will clot and scab over quickly.
Shangguan Junyue carefully probed and found nothing wrong with his body. But there was some uneasiness in her heart, she instinctively felt that this small wound that kept bleeding was some kind of sign, and normal people would definitely not stop bleeding like this.
She was silent for a moment, then took out a bottle, poured out a small amount of powder, and smeared it on the wound until the bleeding stopped.
"This is for you, it's Yao Wang San. The treatment of trauma has a miraculous effect, and it is also excellent to stop bleeding, and your physique seems to be a little special, so don't get injured easily. Shangguan Junyue handed him the bottle.
This is a hard-to-find medicine king powder, because the medicinal materials required for preparation are too rare, there are not many medicine king valleys.
It is rumored that as long as it is a traumatic injury, no matter how heavy, it can hang a life before it is out of breath, and there was a small half bottle from the Valley of the King of Medicine, which was fought for by countless people, and finally Emperor Qin ordered someone to snatch it back to the palace.
The Luoyang Wei family spent a great deal of money to get a bottle in the Medicine King Valley. Shangguan Junyue gave him such a precious thing without hesitation, and this was what the valley lord asked her to take with her just in case.
If outsiders know that Jing Singer has such a precious medicine on this small wound on his back, he will inevitably sigh and destroy the heavens.
Jing Ge didn't know the rarity of this medicine, and even if he knew that it was so precious, he would never have the idea that it was too precious to accept. As long as it is given by Yue'er, he will accept anything happily.
Shangguan Junyue thought about it for a while, and then found another bottle with three vermilion pills in it and gave it to him. "This is for internal injuries, and you can take it too."
"Oh, there are also detoxifications, most of the ordinary poisons can be solved, and the rare poisons can also be suppressed temporarily." Shangguan Junyue gave him a total of three vials.
Jing Ge treasured it closely, unceremoniously.
At noon, the two stopped by a small stream. Jing Ge dragged down his shoes and rolled up his pants into the stream, trying to catch some fish for lunch. The fish in the crystal clear stream are nimble and agile, and Jing Ge spent a lot of effort but found nothing.
Shangguan Junyue stood on the shore with a light smile, took off his longbow, and shot two arrows between his hands, nailing the two stream fish at the bottom of the water.
So powerful? Fish can be shot.
Jing Ge picked up the fish and dealt with it, "Your archery skills are so good, it can't really be innate." ”
"No skill is innate, hard work is just as important as talent." Shangguan Junyue sat gently in the shade of the tree.
"But you don't practice it all the time." Jing Ge questioned.
"How do you know I don't practice often?" Shangguan Junyue asked rhetorically.
"If you practice archery a lot, you should have calluses on your fingers." Jing Ge said.
Shangguan Junyue looked at her delicate fingers and said, "Don't be fooled by appearances, what you see may not be the truth. I don't have calluses on my fingers because I rubbed them off. ”
Jing Ge suddenly realized, by the way, she rubbed the cocoons off her fingers on the one hand because she was a girl, so naturally she would not leave a thick cocoon in her hands. Another part of the reason is that hard calluses affect the touch, and as she says, the arrow in her hand is an extension of the body. So keep your fingers sharp and soft, and attach them to the feather arrows to improve your accuracy.
Shangguan Junyue walked in the forest, picked up some dead branches, and built a fire. Jing Ge skewered the fish and grilled it, dried it and handed it to her.
The grilled fish tastes good, after all, Jingge has done everything by himself since he was a child. Shangguan Junyue also likes it.
"Do you know how to cook and stir-fry?" Shangguan Junyue asked.
"Of course it will, how can this kind of trivial matter be rare to be handsome, you must know that Ben Shuai is a good man who can go up to the court and down to the kitchen." Jing Ge replied.
"It seems that you have suffered a lot in the past three years, and you have even learned how to stir-fry and cook." She thought that Jing Ge had learned it during the three years of this disaster.
Jing Ge stroked her long hair, looked at her and said, "I know you won't, when you want to leave the imperial capital, we will find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in seclusion, and then I will take care of these trivial things." ”
Shangguan Junyue looked into the distance and was silent, if there is really this day, this is naturally up to me.
It is best to find a quiet place, raise some chickens, ducks and geese, plant some fruits and vegetables, watch the sunrise and sunset, and don't ask about the world. It's just that the future is unpredictable, and it doesn't do any good to say this now except for what he wants.
The two rested for a while and continued to move forward, Shangguan Junyue was not in a hurry to rush back to Kyoto, and Jing Ge wanted to know more about the customs of this country.
The army of the second prince Li Yingfa Wu came from the Hedong Army, and this victory made the already arrogant and domineering Hedong Army even more invincible. Occasionally, a few ruffians went out in groups to harass the poor people in the vicinity of the station.
Shangguan Junyue's face is peerless, but all the soldiers who have rarely touched a woman when they see her are salivating in their hearts, and they are even more envious and jealous of Jing Ge behind her, but they don't dare to reveal the slightest, and try their best to hide it.
Shangguan Junyue looked coldly ahead, completely disdainful of glancing at the side of the road, lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at their Hedong soldiers. Even the most rampant ruffians did not dare to have a single thought about the person sitting on the Flowing Cloud Horse.
There are only a few Liuyun horses in the entire Hedong Army, and even the ones in the legion are not qualified to be used as mounts. There was no doubt that whoever was sitting on it was not something they could afford to provoke. The tall and unique Liuyun Pony is a status symbol.
Liuyunju passed through several Hedong soldiers, and Jing Ge sighed secretly. "This Hedong army has no momentum at all, and the soldiers and ruffians are like this, presumably the entire army has lost its spirit."
Shangguan Junyue was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Because of Liuyunju, the two didn't encounter any trouble along the way, until five days later, they passed through Hedong County and came to the edge of Sanchuan County.
They were met by a group of bandits.
There are many robbers in the troubled times, there are such robbers in many places in the Qin State, they occupy the mountains, burn and kill, plunder, once the officers and soldiers come to encircle and suppress, they will flee into the deep mountains and old forests, and wait for the officers and soldiers to retreat and then regroup, like an inexhaustible weed.
There were about fifty or sixty of these bandits, armed with all kinds of weapons, knives, guns, clubs, and even a dozen longbows. They are all some self-made weapons, divided into two groups, front and back, blocking Jingge and Yue'er in the road.
Even though she was besieged by dozens of outlaws with fierce faces and glowing eyes, Shangguan Junyue did not show the slightest panic, and she reached out to pick up the longbow hanging on her horse. grabbed an empty one, and the longbow was already held in Jing Ge's hand. Then she reached for the long knife next to her, holding down the handle to pull it out.
At this time, she found that Jing Ge glared at her, she was a little unhappy, but she still obediently pushed back the long knife that had been drawn out halfway, she understood what Jing Ge meant: Don't move.
Jing Ge looked at her lowering her eyelids and biting her lower lip staring at her fingers, and felt a little funny, what kind of person is this.
Unlike the officers and soldiers, these rogues and bandits are not afraid of Liuyunju at all. I don't care what status you have, they don't know how many lives they have on their backs, where would they be afraid of provoking some amazing characters.
In their eyes, these two people are a big piece of fat, kill that boy, and then take this smart chick back. Such a beautiful girl, Lao Tzu has never seen such a stunning woman in his life, and it is worth ten years of life.
