"....... has passed Laishui now, how far is it from Shanggu County?"

"If the original Wuruan Pass had not been taken away by Yuan Shao, there should still be more than 170 miles to go now, and now it will take a detour to 30 miles more, counting the twists and turns of the mountain road, and it will take about five days to get out of the mountain to the boundary of Shanggu County."

"Well, ......., let the team lead, and I'll lead the guards to go first."

"The leader is depressed in his heart, and the last general will know, but now it is the rainstorm season, and the mountains are slippery and prone to accidents, so don't go alone!"

"It's too long...... I'm afraid that Sour Confucianism can't afford to wait. ”

Under the forest field caressed by the mountain wind, in the resting team, on a higher terrain of the two horsemen, looking at the road winding in the distance, under the rocks, Dian Wei and Li Ke took several guards to guard around, and looked at the two people talking above from time to time, Li Ke held the mace, pursed his lips, and there were still wet marks in his eyes, and it seemed that he had cried not long ago.

How did this group of people who came out of the White Wolf Plain get to where they are today, only they know best in their hearts, in such a harsh environment, although the weak scholar does not have much ability, but after all, he has placed his family properly, which almost makes everyone agree and be grateful.

"Rou also hopes that the county will be fine, but the leader is the root of the entire five counties of the Northland, if there is a mistake, the last general will be unable to escape the blame even if he dies, and he dare not take any chances."

As an old subordinate, Yan Rou has always been the calmest member of the 'wolf pack', complementing each other with the fiery temperament, like Gongsun Zhi's two arms, at this time, he can say this at the moment when the wolf king is anxious, and only he dares to say it.

Next to him, Jueying shook his head, on horseback, Gongsun Zhi closed his eyes and did not speak, and after a while, he exhaled heavily, and his voice was rough: "...... have been running around with you in the past few years, and I have made up for your loyalty to follow me to endure hardships .....and even put your lives on the line." ”

Yan Rou pursed her lips, lowered her head, and listened quietly.

Gongsun Zhi turned his head and took a deep breath: "I thought that the sour body was just a small problem caused by the injury of the day...... But I miscalculated one thing, he was originally thin and thin...... I thought it would be okay to take care of it, but now I react that I am the one who is in charge and I don't take care of you. ”

"Don't say that, chief, you are the king of the wolves...... There are too many things to take care of, and there will always be something that is overlooked......"

In the air, the horsewhip suddenly sounded, Gongsun stopped the horse's head, and roared: "The king of farts-" The angry voice echoed in the foothills, and on the winding mountain road, countless figures stood up, and when they looked over, he rode the war horse, turned around and got off the big rock, and pointed the whip to the north: "I can't even take care of my brothers around me...... That's my grandson's brother who was born and died!! And I, the king, am about to lose my best brother—"

“.…… I'm about to lose my best brother! ”

The loud words echoed one by one, Gongsun stopped waving his horsewhip and beckoned the crowd to step forward: "I want to go back first, you can take it with you." ”

When he was giving orders, a horse galloped up from the mountain road behind, and then he received the news, and his voice was excited to ride his horse to this side, while shouting: "Lord, Cao Ang is not dead-"

Hearing the words that came, the originally raised arm slowly fell, Gongsun Zhilema turned around and frowned, and when the general who rushed came closer, he asked, "What did you just say?" ”

"Ziyu is not dead...... And he also brought an old man named Hua Tuo, who said that he could cure sour Confucianism. ”

At this moment, Gongsun Zhi finally had a smile on his face, and asked Cao Ang why he didn't die, and his tone was hurried: "Where is Hua Tuo?" ”

"Zheng and Pan Wushuang are in the back team."

"Great-" Around, Dian Wei, Li Ke, Gongsun Xu and other generals also shouted loudly. Here, Gongsun Zhi raised his head and inhaled, waved his big hand violently, and shouted: "Han Long! ”

"In!"

One man urged the horse to clench his fists in the crowd.

Gongsun stopped his excitement and ordered him: "You immediately take a few horses back, find a way to bring that Hua Tuo with you, and rush back to Shanggu County as quickly as possible, and carry the other party on your back." ”

After giving a neat command, he looked at the light reflected on the top of the mountain by the sun shining in the clouds in the distance, and pulled up the reins and shouted: "-Drive." The black horse neighed and raised its hooves and galloped away on the mountain road, the mountain wind whined, and in a moment, hundreds of guards and wolves spread along with the galloping figure in front of them.

******************

In the past half a month, the body has been lying in bed for a long time, and in the quiet backyard of the mansion, the bright sky light shines in from the window lattice, casting on the ground to form mottled.

The door creaked and slowly pushed open.

The little child stepped in with a basin of warm water, wrung out the towel and cleaned it for the man on the bed who had been emaciated to the point of not being human, on the wooden stunned face, the bright eyes showed precocious understanding, the warm and wet towel wiped his fingers, moved, and the weak and pale face slowly shook his eyes a few times.

"..... Yu'er, what is it now...... It's time. ”

"Father-in-law, it's already afternoon."

"How do I sleep today...... It's been so long. The weak body struggled to get up, Dongfang Yu hurriedly went to help, and then sat down on the edge of the bed and went down to the ground, waving his hand: "Come here with crutches...... Stepfather is going out for a walk......"

"No, the sacrificial wine said, the body of the righteous father cannot move." The little man's voice was a little choked, but he still handed over the crutch that was leaning against the wall.

"It doesn't matter ..... people, you have to walk...... Dongfang Sheng smiled slightly, and while walking around with the support of Yizi, he crossed the threshold with a cane, and the red sky light pierced into his eyes, and he narrowed weakly: "...... Such a view...... Look at it more, or you won't see it one day. ”

The scholar's appearance alarmed the servants and maids up and down the house, and Li Ru, who was handling official business in the palace, also hurried over here, and when he saw his appearance, he was not easy to reprimand, but persuaded the other party to go back to recuperate. After a while, Dongfang Sheng straightened his body, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "I just want to walk..... I don't need such a big battle, why don't you accompany me for a walk?" ”

Li Ru glanced at him: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

“.…… Sacrificial wine, when will the leader come back....." Dongfang Sheng and Li Ru slowly walked across the covered bridge and walked towards the flowerbed path, "He has been walking for a long time......"

"It's already on the way, should be back soon....." Li Ru sighed, the scholar's body deteriorated, not to mention the distance from Shangdang County to Shanggu County, the mountain road alone is a hurdle that hinders speed, if you really want to catch up, it will be at the end of the month at the latest.

Dongfang Sheng turned his head and smiled in the sunset: "The sacrificial wine is starting to deceive people again......"

The two of them talked for a while, and they didn't go far, the scholar was exhausted, sat under the eaves and looked at the increasingly red sun, and the person was also groggy, in a trance, a figure in the long corridor in the distance was striding towards this side, he smiled and shook his head, thinking that he was dreaming, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up, he was on the bed, it was already dark outside, and in the dim light, it was Gongsun Zhi who was holding the medicine bowl.

"......I'm back, Sour Confucian!" He said softly.

On the bed, the frail scholar moved his lips slightly, tears sliding down the corners of his eyes.
