On a cold morning, the morning sun rises. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt has been gloomy for more than ten days, and the weather has finally cleared up after several heavy snowfalls. The sunlight casts the shadows of the mountain peaks on the snow in the valleys, turning the vast snowfields into half-shade and half-yang, dappled and dazzling.

In the valley, the 3,000 cavalry led by Wang Yuan were packing up their tents and lighting bonfires, and they wanted to boil some hot water and eat some dry food to prepare for a hard day's journey. Wang Yuan took Zhao Qing and Tan Ping to check whether the horses had frostbite last night, while Liu Jun was excitedly chattering with Gongsun Lan's side.

In the early morning, when they saw Gongsun Lan coming out of Dashuai's tent, Liu Jun, Zhao Qing and others were surprised. Everyone knows that Miss Gongsun has been missing for two years, and Dashuai has been looking for her frantically for two years, and it has only gradually faded in recent months. And suddenly, the grandson girl appeared again, and everyone was happy for the handsome. Miss Gongsun didn't realize anything at the time, but when she left, she felt that Miss Gongsun was very important. When encountering something important, there is no Gongsun girl, and I always feel that no one can be sure to complete it. And now that the Gongsun girl has finally returned, it can be said that everyone is happy.

Although it is a good thing, Zhao Qingtan and others are also a little embarrassed. The Gongsun girl easily passed through the camp set up by the 3,000 cavalry, and entered the tent of the great commander through the surrounding tents, which was definitely a dereliction of duty. Most of them were the commander's personal guards, and they didn't even notice it. Zhao Qing and Tan Ping called dozens of soldiers who were on duty last night and scolded them, these dozens of soldiers were also very aggrieved, they didn't sleep all night and froze to death, and they didn't notice any movement. It's a good thing that it's the Gongsun girl, and if it's an assassin, it's going to be a big deal.

"Aunt Gongsun, where have you been in the past two years? My father-in-law has looked for you many times, but I haven't even found you after looking through Chengdu City. My father-in-law talks about you every day, thinking about you, don't leave when you come back this time. Liu Jun chased after Gongsun Lan's side, making noise.

Gongsun Lan said: "Go, go, do your own thing, child, what do you know and look forward to?" Talking nonsense here. ”

"I'm almost fifteen, how can I still be a child? Look at my father-in-law's face early in the morning, smiling like a flower, and walking with the wind, I haven't seen my father-in-law so energetic and happy for a long time. Speaking of which, Aunt Gongsun, have you been hiding in the mountains to cultivate in the past two years? I don't know what kind of martial arts he has practiced, do you teach Liu Jun to open his eyes? ”

"What kind of deep mountain cultivation, do you think I am a thousand-year-old fox spirit? Hiding in the mountains to cultivate? Gongsun Lan said angrily.

"It's me who said the wrong thing, Aunt Gongsun don't worry. Anyway, after you left in the past two years, I haven't been lazy at all about the swordsmanship you taught me, and I'm proficient in practice, do you want me to play a trick on it for you? Liu Jun said with a smile.

"No need, I believe you have practiced well, at least better than your stepfather. You don't have to practice it. Gongsun Lan tidied up the saddle and said lightly.

"Oooh. For the sake of me practicing so diligently, can Aunt Gongsun teach me some more martial arts? I studied very seriously, unlike my father-in-law, who was all deserted. Liu Jun said with a hippie smile.

"It's been a long time, you want to learn some more martial arts from me, and I really can't bear to be your aunt." Gongsun Lan glared.

"No, I'm happier than anyone else when Aunt Gongsun comes back. But I'm afraid you'll disappear again in a blink of an eye, so I'll keep the words in my head first. Before Aunt Gongsun leaves, she must teach me a set of martial arts before leaving. Liu Jun said with a shy face.

Gongsun Lan couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to speak, when she saw Wang Yuan walking with Zhao Qing and Tan Ping striding on the snow. Wang Yuan shouted at Liu Jun: "Liu Jun? Have you personally inspected the equipment of the soldiers and horses? Don't you want to save your mother? What else are you hanging out here? ”

Liu Jun's expression was solemn, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go and prepare." "Let's run away.

Wang Yuan came to Gongsun Lan's side and smiled: "This kid is pestering you to learn martial arts again." ”

Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "Yes, he is diligent and studious, much better than some people." There are some people I taught him martial arts, but he abandons them. At least Liu Jun still takes it seriously and practices diligently. ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said: "You mean Sang scolding Huai, I do practice less, but I often practice the kind of qigong you teach to cultivate Yuan Li, and I have made a lot of progress." You know, I'm so busy that sometimes I don't have time to practice martial arts. ”

Gongsun Lan said: "Of course you are busy, busy during the day, and busy at night. The wives and concubines are married to the family one by one, and there is no shortage of women outside. No, I'm going to save that Mrs. Qin Guo again. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "You are actually jealous, it seems that last night's family law was not enough, find a time to serve you well." ”

Gongsun Lan's face blushed and said, "I'm not afraid of being heard by my subordinates, it's really out of shape." Didn't you say time was pressing? Why don't you hurry up and get something to eat? ”

Speaking of business, Wang Yuan immediately put away his smiling face and said, "It's time to hurry up and get on the road." We received news that His Majesty's car had left Beijing the evening before yesterday, and that it would be two days at most before to reach Maweipo, and that we must arrive at Maweipo within two days, otherwise it would be too late. ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "You always said that you would rush to Ma Weipo in advance, why Ma Weipo?" What is that place? What's so special about it? ”

Wang Yuan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I can't answer you this question, I only know that there will be a wind and rain on Mawei Slope." Don't ask, let's eat something and hurry up on the road. ”

……

Xuanzong's car left from Jincheng County early in the morning to the west, Jincheng County ordered not to work in vain, before leaving Xuanzong praised him greatly, and gave him the promotion of the position of Xianyang County, which is already a great grace. Niu Erle almost went crazy with no fun. However, the request made by His Majesty was a little inexplicable, and His Majesty asked Niu Erle to prepare some food for the Holy Driver to take on the road to satisfy his hunger, which made Niu Erle a little confused. The Holy Tour, didn't you bring anything to eat? Look at the embarrassed appearance of those maids and maids, it seems that they have been hungry for a few meals and have not eaten, what is going on?

However, Niu Erle didn't dare to think about it, and of course he did his best to meet His Majesty's request. So before the Holy Driver's Qichen, Niu Erle went door-to-door to gather some chickens, ducks, fish and eggs and other things in the homes of the people in Jincheng County, and loaded a cart for Xuanzong and his party to bring.

The people of Jincheng County are considered to have fallen into blood mold, it was originally a poor place, and they raised some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in exchange for money at home, but they were all looted by the holy driver. Last night, I was forced to sleep in the north of the city, and the military camp was frozen overnight, and now I have been knocked out. The Holy Driver's passage did not bring the slightest benefit, but was robbed by bandits, which was simply miserable.

After the holy car left, the people secretly scolded endlessly and did not mention it, only saying that Xuanzong's car continued to drive west. Although the weather was clear, the road was covered with snow and was crushed by the horseshoe wheels, making it a swamp and muddy and extremely difficult to move.

Struggling in the snow and mud like this, Xuanzong sat in the car and his bones were about to fall apart, and he wanted to order to stop and rest several times, but when he thought that he would be safe to meet Wang Yuan earlier, he tried his best to hold back.

However, Yang Guifei couldn't stand such a toss, her delicate body had undergone such a toss, and the whole person had wilted. And the weather was too cold, the concubine didn't wear too many clothes, and the carriage was as cold as an ice cellar, Yang Guifei's body couldn't bear it, so she actually started a fever.

Xuanzong was distressed to death, and finally couldn't help but order to stop the car, poked his head out of the carriage and shouted, "Where is the imperial doctor?" Concubine Ai is sick, where is the imperial doctor? Come and take a look. ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly rushed over, and when he heard that he was called the imperial doctor, he was immediately dumbfounded, and replied: "Your Majesty, I didn't bring the imperial doctor out with me, the team had to be streamlined when I came, and the imperial doctor didn't bring them or anything." ”

Xuanzong frowned and said angrily: "Then what should I do?" The mother is sick and can't go. ”

While he was talking, Chen Xuanli rode his horse and galloped over, came to Xuanzong's cart and said loudly, "What's wrong?" Why don't you stop? ”

Xuanzong said: "Concubine Ai has a fever, and without the imperial doctor accompanying her, I'm afraid she won't be able to hurry." Why don't you camp here tonight, and see if she gets better tomorrow. ”

"How?" Chen Xuanli said loudly: "You can't stay here, you can't go to the village in front of you and you can't have a store in the back, how to camp in the barren mountains and mountains?" Your Majesty, you can't delay your trip just because the concubine is sick. We'll have to hurry. ”

Xuanzong frowned and said, "What are these words?" Concubine Ai is sick and can't move forward, doesn't it matter? Chen Xuanli, I want you to order a halt to the army and camp on the spot. ”

Chen Xuanli arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister can't obey the order, Your Majesty has to delay the trip of the brigade for the sake of the concubine Niangniang, which should not be." Your Majesty looked at the soldiers, their faces were purple from hunger and cold, and who was shouting to stop? There is not even a shelter from the wind, and there is no firewood available nearby to make a fire, and if you camp here tonight, hundreds of people will surely freeze to death here tomorrow morning, and your majesty will not care whether they live or die for the sake of the concubine's illness? ”

Xuanzong was surprised that Chen Xuanli dared to talk to him like this, which was unique. His tone is very tough, and he is like Chen Xuanli who is usually in front of him. However, Xuanzong was also quite understanding, and soon thought that maybe he was anxious because of the difficult trek, and he spoke a little more impulsively. And Chen Xuanli's words also have some truth, it is inappropriate to freeze to death hundreds of soldiers and entourage for the sake of loving the concubine.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't care about the illness of the concubine, the minister hopes that His Majesty and the concubine can hold on, twenty miles ahead is the Ma Wei Station, and you can rest when you get to the Ma Wei Station, where there are houses and courtyards for rest and shelter, wouldn't it be better?" Chen Xuanli said in a deep voice.

"This ...... What about Aifei's illness? I can't let her get sick and have a fever here, and if there is a mistake, I can't follow it. Xuanzong frowned.

"Do you have a fever? Easy to do. There is a local method, digging Xie Xue and putting it on Niangniang's face to reduce the fever. Chen Xuanli said.

Xuanzong frowned and said, "What kind of cure is this?" It's already cold, so wouldn't it be even colder with snow on it? ”

Gao Lishi bowed beside him and said: "Niangniang needs to drink some water, if you don't drink water if you have a fever, you will burn your heart and lungs." ”

Chen Xuanli said: "It's easy to do. Come on, dig some snow with a copper basin and give the concubine Niangniang water to drink water to quench her thirst. ”

A soldier of the Longwu Army jumped off his horse and dug a pot of snow from the dirty snow, and the dead branches and fallen leaves in the snow were scattered horizontally, and the soldier used his hands to pull off the branches and fallen leaves inside.

Chen Xuanli handed the copper basin to Xuanzong and said, "Your Majesty, melt the snow and let the mother drink it." ”

It was only at this time that Xuanzong realized that Chen Xuanli was not speaking unreasonably because of fatigue, he was doing it on purpose, and he really wanted to be rude. Gao Lishi on the side also came to his senses and glanced at Xuanzong, both of whom saw deep fear in each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty, sit tight, it's time to go, Ma Weiyi is almost here, Your Majesty don't stop the car again, otherwise you won't be able to arrive before dark." Chen Xuanli shouted loudly. At the same time, he pulled out the horsewhip and whipped it hard on the buttocks of the horse driven by Xuanzong, and the healthy horse pulling the cart rushed out in pain, Xuanzong did not sit firmly, and almost fell on the floor of the car, and the copper basin in his hand fell to the ground with the snow.
