In the evening of late autumn, the brilliance of the sunset is sprinkled on the bleak land of Shandong, the autumn is high and refreshing, as far as the eye can see, the figures of the carriages and horses of a long line on the official road are also stretched far away by the sunset, if someone is blocked by these shadows in the distance, they have to wait for a while to see the complete sunset again.

Wu Zhi's family's convoy had already left Qingzhou and walked for a day.

But it has not yet gone out of the Shandong boundary, just because the convoy is too large, so the process can not be fast, Wu Zhi found someone to estimate, according to the current speed of the convoy, it will take at least seven days to reach Bianjing.

Seven days is seven days, Wu Zhi is not in a hurry, in order not to make the three ladies and children feel bumpy, Wu Zhi also deliberately instructed the team leader in front of him, if he can be slow, he must be steady!

"Ahem!"

Wu Zhi lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a gust of autumn wind hit, Wu Zhi shivered coldly and coughed a few times.

When he left Qingzhou, Wu Zhi was having a low-grade fever, and now, all the way down, although he took the medicine prescribed by An Daoquan, Wu Zhi still felt that his fever seemed to be a little worse, and he still had some headaches and fatigue.

However, Wu Zhi didn't care too much, the level of medical care in later generations was so developed, and it would take at least a few days for a headache and brain fever to recover.

"Official, do you feel better?"

Outside the carriage, Sanniang rode a snow-white horse accompanied Wu Zhi's carriage, and when she saw Wu Zhi coughing after lifting the curtain, she immediately stepped forward and asked.

"It's okay, it's just a little wind and cold, and it will be fine after taking Dr. An's medicine for a few days." Wu Zhi obsessively admired the heroic Sanniang and said with a smile.

When she was in Qingzhou, Jin Lian loved to read and cook when she was fine, Xue'er was planting grass and raising flowers, and Sanniang's interest was to raise horses!

The white horse she rode was named Xue Yu, it was a selected Ili horse, slender and fit, most suitable for women to ride, this horse was not bought by Wu Zhi for her, but a few days ago when the people from Hujiazhuang came to Qingzhou to see off Wu Zhi and others, they specially brought it to Sanniang.

It is said that in order to buy this horse, Hu Cheng's brother-in-law went through several twists and turns, spending nearly 10,000 yuan before crossing the Western Xia and transporting it to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, this money is also a drizzle for today's Hujiazhuang, and the Hujia family is now one of the richest families in Shandong!

Sanniang originally only raised two horses, one of which was fiery red and named Chixia; A pitch-black horse named Moko. They are all purebred sweat and blood horses, and they were also bought by Wu Zhituo. Sanniang has always taken care of her children, and she can only take some time to look at the horses in Qingzhou, and the maintenance is handed over to the next person, let alone riding a horse.

Therefore, this time when she went to Bianjing, Sanniang insisted on not wanting to sit in the carriage with Jin Lianxue'er, but wore a smart red suit, with a double knife at her waist, hanging a red cotton lasso, riding a white horse followed by two red horses and a black horse, guarding Wu Zhi's carriage and acting as Wu Zhi's guard.

Indeed, having Sanniang as a guard is simply foolproof, because Sanniang is undoubtedly the highest in this team of thousands of people, and those Qingzhou troops can't compare.

"Official, why are you always staring at me?"

Seeing Wu Zhi's eyes staring at him extremely informally, Sanniang's eyes widened, and her cheeks turned red and she snorted.

"Hey, hey! I'm thinking, Sanniang, you are obviously not as tall as me, but why do it look like your legs are so slender, and my legs seem so stubby? Wu Zhi said thoughtfully.

Sanniang is only half a head shorter than Wu Zhi, but she is outstanding among women, so her legs are very slender and beautiful, and she is a real Victoria's Secret angel figure in later generations.

"You're a big man, do you want to grow legs like mine?" Sanniang said, snickering, as if thinking of Wu Zhi's image, "How funny is that!" Ha ha! ”

Wu Zhi touched his nose, usually when he joked with Sanniang like this, he would definitely follow Sanniang's words and talk nonsense, and finally laugh unscrupulously with Sanniang, but now that he is sick, he only feels that his eyes hurt and he has a terrible fever, so he has no mood to joke.

"Official, I see that you are very uncomfortable, do you want me to accompany you?" Sanniang saw Wu Zhi's discomfort and said with concern.

"No, it's a wind chill, and it's not good if it infects you."

Wu Zhi shook his head, now some of the little life knowledge of the future generations, Sanniang and they all know it, such as colds can be contagious.

"It's okay, I'm in good health!" Sanniang said, about to dismount.

"Rong'er, good ......"

Wu Zhi smiled weakly and called Sanniang's name.

Sanniang looked at Wu Zhi helplessly: "Then you put down the curtain and rest, don't get into the wind." ”

"Okay, Sanniang, you've been riding a horse for almost a day, and when you're tired, go to the carriage."

After instructing Sanniang, Wu Zhi asked again, "Where should I go ahead?" ”

"I'm going to Anping County in Qizhou soon, Brother Yun just came to report that there is a proud building there, and we will spend the night there tonight."

"Hmm."

Nowadays, the proud building is all over Shandong, from Qingzhou to Bianjing on the way is naturally to choose a place to stay and rest in the proud building, although not every county has a proud building after going out of Shandong, but when the proud building was planned to be opened before, it was deliberately opened very intensively on this road, so as long as there is no detour, Wu Zhi and his party can be in the proud building branch almost every time.

As soon as it got dark, Wu Zhi's team arrived in Anping County, Wu Zhi's family and Brother Yun's personal guards Jiang Jing and others all lived in the proud building, and the rest of the escort coachmen could not live in the branch shopkeeper who arranged a comfortable inn to live.

When he got out of the car, Wu Zhi only felt that he was shivering, fatigue, headache, aching limbs and lower back, and had a high fever.

"It's really sick...... Ay! Wu Zhi smiled bitterly at An Daoquan and Brother Yun.

"The big officials don't have to think about it, the illness is like a thread, just bear with it for a while." An Daoquan said with relief.

On the other side, Jin Lian and the others held the child and saw that Wu Zhi was so weak, so Jin Lian handed the child to the maid and walked over to Wu Zhi quickly.

It wasn't until Jin Lian came to his side that Wu Zhi said weakly: "What are you doing here, if it is passed on to the child, it will be troublesome." ”

"It's okay, I won't take the child for the past few days, the official, you won't let me get close, you won't let Xue'er get close, and you won't let Sanniang get close, so who will serve you, the patient?" Jin Lian replaced An Daoquan, and Brother Yun supported Wu Zhi together, looked at Brother Yun, and Jin Lian said again: "Do you still expect Brother Yun to take care of you?" Brother Yun, can you take care of him better than me? ”

Brother Yun scratched his head and smiled: "Naturally, it is not as meticulous as the sister-in-law." ”

"Isn't there still a maid?" Wu Zhi smiled bitterly.

"I'm even more worried about others!"

While talking, everyone had already walked into the restaurant, and the shopkeeper over there was bowing his head and talking to Jiang Jing, and from time to time he smiled in awe at Wu Zhi's side.

Under the leadership of Xiao Er, everyone checked into their rooms, and as soon as Wu Zhi entered the room, he lay down on the bed, An Daoquan took the pulse, said that it was okay, and ordered the next person to decoct the medicine, and then everyone left with confidence.

Wu Zhi fell asleep after lying on the bed, Jin Lian stayed by his side, during which he also vaguely heard Xue'er and Sanniang coming in, and after saying a few words, he was comforted by Jin Lian and left.

It will take a long time for the medicine to be fried, during which Jin Lian served Wu Zhi and drank a bowl of meat porridge, and after seeing Wu Zhi lying down with his eyes closed, Jin Lian put a hot towel on Wu Zhi's head, approached Wu Zhi's ear and said Go down to see the medicine and help Wu Zhi make a bowl of honey and ginger by the way, and then went out carefully.

Wu Zhi had a terrible headache, and although he was very tired, he couldn't sleep, just closed his eyes in bed to recuperate.

In a drowsy state, Wu Zhi suddenly felt a little numb above his right wrist, as if there were small insects crawling on it, Wu Zhi reached out and scratched it, but just scratched it so lightly, the original numb place suddenly became extremely itchy.

Wu Zhi was irritable in his heart, so he stretched out his left hand and scratched it vigorously.

The more I scratched, the more wrong it became, and the more I scratched, the more I felt that the place was itchy and unbearable, and I wanted to cut off that piece of meat with a knife.

Wu Zhi was puzzled and depressed, so he raised his right hand, put his wrist in front of his eyes, and opened his eyes to take a closer look at the itch.

At this sight, Wu Zhi's eyes immediately widened in horror.
