Chapter 193: Tough Heart

In the ice and snow, carrying a girl who is half a head taller than himself on his back is indeed a very difficult thing for a fifteen-year-old boy.

Fortunately, the weather was not bad today, the winter sun was shining, and only occasionally a light wind swept the snowflakes in the face, although the winter day hanging in the sky did not have much warmth to speak of, but it was better than a strong wind rolling the blizzard.

And all around, as far as the eye can see, is a white expanse, and it is impossible to see which section of this white wasteland is the original road.

Zhao Hongrun could only rely on the rough map of Zhengyang County in his mind to judge where the two of them were at the moment, so as not to lose their way.

"Hey, are you still alive?"

Every once in a while, Zhao Hongrun would always ask the witch on her back like this, so that she would not fall into a coma due to blood loss or cold.

After all, Mi Jiang's injury is not serious, and it stands to reason that he should not easily move the seriously injured injury, but Zhao Hongrun has no choice.

The carriage, after the reins were cut off by the funny boy surnamed Zhang, the two horses pulling the carriage did not know when they fled, and in this case they continued to stay in the carriage, which seemed to be able to get a temporary place to live, but in fact, it was they who gave themselves the chance to survive.

Because there was no food in the carriage, although there were several cotton mattresses to keep out the cold, but they could not resist hunger, it was better to rely on themselves than to wait in the carriage for the search of the Junshui Army and the Pinghui Army in Zhengyang County.

"Hmm." The ginger on his back responded weakly.

It's no wonder that after all, she had lost a lot of blood, and now she should have rested and waited for the hematopoietic function in her body to play a role, but unfortunately she was carried on her back by Zhao Hongrun and had to suffer from bumps.

Thinking about her at this moment, her eyelids have long been sleepy. I can't wait to close my eyes and get some rest.

"Don't close your eyes! …… Don't sleep. Zhao Hongrun glanced at Mi Jiang who was pilling his head on his shoulder out of the corner of his eye, obviously noticing her tired eyes.

"Don't worry, I understand. If you fall asleep at this time, you may never wake up again. Mi Jiang stated in a calm tone as always.

Her words. made Zhao Hongrun feel a little relieved, but her eyes, which seemed to be closed uncontrollably at any time, made Zhao Hongrun unable to completely feel at ease.

"Talk to her and think of a topic that will interest her......

Zhao Hongrun was anxious, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Hey, what is the 'Zhurong Ruins'?" ”

"That's the holy place for us and the witch of this vein......," Mi Jiang replied in a daze.

"Are you waiting for this pulse? Are there any other shrine maidens? ”

"Hmm......" Mi Jiang replied softly, without elaborating at all.

"Isn't she interested in this topic?"

Zhao Hongrun tilted his head and glanced at Mi Jiang's sleepy eyes, gritted his teeth and suddenly asked, "Hey, you...... Do you have anyone you like? ”

"Huh?" Mi Jiang, who seemed to be groggy, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Barely opened his eyes, glanced at Zhao Hongrun in surprise, and said with a slight gasp: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

"I think if you had someone you liked before, now you ...... Isn't it going to be difficult? ”

"Well, that's right." Mi Jiang thought for a moment, and then said lightly: "Speaking of which, there was indeed a man who was very attentive to me when I was in Ba in the past......"

"And then?"

"I killed you."

"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun said in his heart, what kind of god turn is this.

At this moment, I saw a soft laugh from Mi Jiang's shoulder: "I thought you were a smart person...... The place where the shrine maiden lived. Where are the men? As she spoke, she leaned on Zhao Hongrun's shoulder. Panting slightly, he whispered, "In Ba, the witch is not to be approached...... Not many normal men would fall in love with a shrine maiden who is in the company of poisonous insects. ”

"How do I know?"

Zhao Hongrun secretly rolled his eyes, thinking about the next topic in his heart.

At this time, I saw Mi Jiang and asked softly, "What about you?" As the son of King Wei, is there a beloved woman? ”

"Hmm." I couldn't help but hear her ask. Zhao Hongrun didn't hide it, and while recalling the girl Su, he replied: "There is a confidante with a very temperamental personality......

"Oh. …… It seems that you are the one who is in trouble. The shrine maiden on her shoulder said lightly.

"Don't you care?"

"I care. …… Before the Gu is solved, you'd better stay away from that woman. For the sake of your life and mine. The shrine maiden on her shoulder, her voice getting softer and softer.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun thought about it, and suddenly gave her a dose of fierce medicine: "Does the Gu worm in my body have an impact on the children of you and me?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing Zhao Hongrun's question, Mi Jiang's eyes widened subconsciously.

Zhao Hongrun glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and saw that the witch pillowed on his shoulder had a crimson face, almost no sleepiness in her eyes, and a little smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Should...... Probably not......" Mi Jiang replied in a low voice, still speaking quietly, but not at all as weak as Fang Cai.

"Oh? Really? Are you so sure? What if? Zhao Hongrun asked in a row.

"......" Mi Jiang was obviously stunned by the question, her face was crimson, and her eyes kept flickering, as if she couldn't help but think about this question.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun didn't mind adding another fire to her: "In case there is any hidden danger, as his or her mother, you should know how to solve it, right?" I mean, on the Gu side. ”

"Hmm...... Hmm......" Mi Jiang, whose face was crimson, didn't know how to answer, so she couldn't help but turn her head slightly, and changed her posture to pilllow on Zhao Hongrun's shoulder, so that she could carefully look at the faces of the people around her.

"Actually, I'm not very proficient in Gu, my sister is better at this than me......"

"Your sister?" Zhao Hongrun recalled Mi Rui's stupid girl, and couldn't help but feel a chill, and after thinking about it, he said: "Then you'd better make yourself proficient as soon as possible, I don't think you can rest assured that your daughter or son will be handed over to your sister to solve the hidden dangers in that regard, right?" ”

"I ...... Hmm...... "Mi Jiang couldn't help blushing again.

"Good!"

Secretly looked at Mi Jiang, and saw that her face was red and red, and the look in her eyes was much more radiant than Fang Cai, Zhao Hongrun breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, at this time, although Mi Jiang's face was still pale and weak with excessive blood loss, it could be judged from her eyes that her spirit was much better than Fang Cai. That's enough to hold on for a while.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun, who only felt that his arms were stiff and numb, took a deep breath and quickened his pace.

He knew very well that although he used this method to arouse the spirit of Mi Jiang, after all, he would treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and what she needed most at the moment. It's a good night's sleep in a warm room.

Of course, it's best to drink a bowl of hot broth and eat something before going to bed.

And if she is safe, then he is also safe.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun, who was full of spirits, continued to rush north.

But the bad thing is that although he temporarily solved the problem of Qi Jiang being sleepy due to blood loss and cold, his own physical strength gradually became his biggest worry.

Although reluctant to admit it. But his legs were getting heavier and heavier, as if they were really being filled with lead, and his arms were gradually losing sensation, so that he had to keep an eye on the witch on his shoulders as he went, lest she fall to the ground, and he did not know it.

"Bang-"

I don't know how long I walked, Zhao Hongrun only felt a twitch on his legs, and the two of them fell to the snow with a pop.

"It's almost the limit......

Lying on his back on the snow, he gasped for breath. Zhao Hongrun struggled to stand up, and struggled to put the ginger wrapped in the futon on his shoulder: "Bear with it." ”

"......" Mi Jiang looked at the panting Zhao Hongrun with a strange expression. vaguely seemed to understand something, and bit his lip without saying a word.

After walking like this for a while, just when Zhao Hongrun felt that he couldn't hold on any longer, suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves stepping on snow in the distance.

He looked up in surprise and saw the snow in the distance. A group of cavalry could be faintly seen, driving their horses through the snow.

"Cavalry...... Is it a cavalry battalion of the Junshui Army?'

You must know that there is no cavalry in the Chu State, only their Wei army!

Only them Wei Army!!

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun didn't know where a new power gushed out of his body. Supporting him, he carefully lowered the shrine maiden on his shoulder, and in an instant, he shouted loudly at the cavalry in the distance.

"Hey β€”β€”!!"

"Heyβ€”β€”!! This king is hereβ€”β€”!! ”

With the gentle north wind, a few words of surprise can be faintly heard.

"There's a voice over there......"

"Your Highness?"

"Your Highness!"

"Find His Royal Highness King Su!"

"Inform the other armies!"

After a chaotic sound of horses' hooves, a cavalry member of the Junshui Battalion galloped in front of Zhao Hongrun and the others, turned over and dismounted, and said excitedly: "The last general, the Junshui Battalion, the hundred people of the cavalry battalion, will meet His Royal Highness King Su!" ”

Although he was exhausted, in front of his generals under his command, Zhao Hongrun naturally had to put on a posture of a superior person, not for anything else, just to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Hahaha, because of this king's business, I have worked for all of you in the Xiao Cavalry Camp, and this king is really sorry."

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun looked like he was tired, the cavalry of the nearby Junshui Battalion breathed a sigh of relief, and the hundred-person general Bai Bai hurriedly gave his war horse to Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, please." ”

"Hmm...... Give me a hand. ”

Zhao Hongrun signaled, and immediately untied the futon on Mi Jiang's body, and helped him onto the horse with the help of Bai Baibai.

Immediately, Zhao Hongrun also turned over and got on the horse, holding Mi Jiang with one hand, letting her lean on his chest, and holding the reins handed by Bai Bai Bai with the other.

At the same time, another cavalryman handed the futon to Zhao Hongrun, who covered it on Qi Jiang's body.

"I'm tired of you this time, I'll wait...... Back to Zhengyang! ”

"Wowβ€”β€”!!"

The nearby cavalry raised their arms and shouted, as if they had won the battle.

And as the cavalry of Zhao Hongrun and Mi Jiang was on the way back to Zhengyang County, one after another, Mi Jiang saw more and more cavalry teams joining her team, so that in just a few moments, the light cavalry of the Wei army where she was located reached thousands of people.

Further to the direction of Zhengyang, along the way, the Junshui Army, Yanling Army, and Pingxuan Sergeants who were all over the mountains raised their arms and cheered when they saw Zhao Hongrun and the cavalry of the Junshui Battalion passing by.

"Just for one person, tens of thousands of soldiers were dispatched to search in the snow?"

Qi Jiang's eyes widened in surprise, and immediately, she came to the conclusion with relief: Ah, he is the king of Wei and the son of the king of Wei!

"But...... But why were the soldiers so excited? Even the soldiers of the Pingxuan Army, who turned out to be Da Chu, ......

Mi Jiang looked at the soldiers who were happy to call out because Zhao Hongrun returned safe and sound.

Yes, it is not difficult to get tens of thousands of people out of the city to search for a Zhao Hongrun, after all, he is the son of the King of Wei and the King of Su of the Wei State. However, what is commendable is that those soldiers did not feel that searching in the snow was a difficult task, and they helped to search from the bottom of their hearts, hoping that His Royal Highness King Su would return safe and sound.

It is not easy for a person to grasp the military mind to such an extent.

"Thank you!" Holding Mi Jiang in one hand, Zhao Hongrun raised it with one hand, clenched his fists and shouted: "The whole army, return to Zhengyang!" ”

"Wowβ€”β€”!!"

The soldiers all over the mountains raised their arms and cheered, and the momentum of that moment seemed to pierce the sky.

That scene really shocked Mi Jiang.

However, this scene was not what shocked her the most.

What shocked her the most was that when she was helped on the horse by Zhao Hongrun and the hundred generals, when she looked back at the way she came, she saw the footprints left by Zhao Hongrun when she carried her through the snowy field......

There is no end in sight.

"This short man, he will eventually be famous in the world!"

Mi Jiang slowly closed his eyes and quietly leaned on the chest of the man behind him, listening to the heart that was beating strong and tenacious. (To be continued.) )
