Seeing that Xiao Qu was slightly distracted, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Gu Xiaojun was unhappy, thinking that he refused to believe it. So he talked about how many times he had passed through the volcano: both people and horses were sweating, as if they had been fished out of the water. My mouth is dry, drinking water doesn't work, I just feel weak and tired.

Because the horse can't stand it, many times you have to lead the horse on foot, and if you don't take a few steps, your legs will be sore, your body will be weak, and you will feel that the strength of the whole person is like being drained. The consciousness has gradually become blurred, and I just want to lie down and sleep beautifully, but the ground is hotter, and if I really want to lie down, I can burn people, and it is completely supported by strong willpower. Gu Xiaojun had a painful and fearful expression on his face, obviously recalling the experience at that time and still having palpitations.

Xiao Qubing listened silently, thinking to himself, it seems that the heat of this Flame Mountain is really the peak. Gu Xiaojun and others behaved like heat stroke with a large loss of electrolytes. They know that volcanoes carry a lot of water when they are hot, and they sweat a lot once they pass the volcano, and sweat takes away a lot of salt, causing an imbalance of electrolytes in the human body.

But they don't know this truth, the more they sweat, the more they drink, which not only dilutes the electrolyte concentration in the body and makes the symptoms worse, but also sweats more, loses more electrolytes, and the symptoms of heat stroke will become more severe. Gu Xiaojun and the others were confused, their muscles were soft, and it was not surprising that they had spasms, and it was not because they had good physical fitness and strong wills that they had not collapsed at that time.

Xiao Quzhi scratched his head and thought about it for a long time, and suddenly thought of two good ways. Well, let's go and talk to Gao Xianzhi, which can be regarded as the other two contributions I have made to the Anxi Army in addition to the horseshoe.

When the sun rose, the Anxi Guards were already dozens of miles away from the Chiting where they had camped last night.

According to Xiao Quai's imagination, he originally thought that if he hurried before dawn, it would at least be cooler, but he didn't expect that the heat of the Flame Mountain had completely broken his previous common sense. Before the sun came out, Xiao Qu felt that the air temperature was at least 40 °C. As soon as the sun came out, Xiao Quzhi felt that the entire ground and surface air were on fire in an instant, and the temperature was up to 50 °C, and it was still early in the morning. You can imagine how hot it will be by noon.

It didn't take long for the Anxi guards to get soaked and the horses could no longer ride, so everyone dismounted and walked. However, they were soon surprised to find that this time was different from the previous ones, although they still sweated profusely as before, but this time, their legs were sore, their bodies were weak, and their strength seemed to be drained.

What a god! Could it be because he drank this salt sugar water prepared by Xiao Xiao, and then wrapped colorful strips of cloth around his legs? The most amazing thing is that every time I feel tired, I drink a sip of the salt sugar water prepared by Captain Xiao, and I immediately feel refreshed.

He is really worthy of being a disciple of the gods, not only is he good at kung fu, but he is also omniscient. When he mixed sugar and brine and cut these strips of cloth, everyone also saw that it was a simple method, but it had such a magical effect. Such a good, such a clever way, how could I not have thought of it before? If you hadn't crossed the volcano before, it wouldn't have been as painful as crossing the ghost gate.

cough, how else to say that people can't be compared with each other, this Xiao Xiaowei is simply a god, you see that he has solved a problem that others can't solve for so many years as soon as he makes a casual move! What's even more amazing is that everyone else is sweating profusely, only he is just tanned and red, and he can barely see sweat! God-man, absolute God-man!

Gao Xianzhi and Duan Xiushi were also delighted to discover this huge change, praised the magic of these two methods loudly, and asked Xiao Quzhi how he came up with it.

Xiao Quzhi smiled and patiently explained the principle to them in as plain language as possible. It is nothing more than a strip of cloth made of leggings to compress the blood vessels and promote blood return; Adding salt to water is to replenish salt and maintain body balance, and adding sugar is to replenish energy at any time, the reason is actually very simple, but many people don't know it, and they fall into a misunderstanding and a dead cycle.

The two of them were amazed, and in their hearts, Xiao Qubing was no longer a young man who had just been weak, but an unfathomable, omniscient master of the world, a person who had attained the Tao.

The little eunuch Wang Chengen was the first time to go to the volcano, and before he came, he heard Bian Lingcheng describe that the volcano was sad and thrilling. Originally, he was mentally prepared for the worst, and he didn't know how many times he cheered himself up last night. I didn't expect it to be completely difficult today, although it was still a little uncomfortable, but it wasn't that I couldn't persevere.

It seems that he is really a blessed person, he Ling Cheng crossed the volcano is full of difficulties and dangers, but it is easy for him to cross the volcano. This trip to Anxi to supervise the army, before he arrived in Anxi, he made a great contribution and harvested 50,000 yuan (he looted almost 1 million worth of property in the horse bandit camp, and Gao Xianzhi was ready to transport all of them back to Anxi, and this 50,000 yuan was a dividend for Wang Chengen). And all this, in Wang Chengen's view, is all due to Xiao Qu's illness, and he is looking at Xiao Qu's illness now, just like looking at his own lucky star.

Not long after noon, the Anxi Guards had managed to get out of the volcano that had given them countless painful memories. Suddenly feeling a burst of coolness, seeing green grass and shrubs, everyone reacted. That's passed? No weakness, no cramps in the legs, no confusion, nothing, that's it? They looked back at the road they had just walked, their mouths wide open, a little incredulous, just feeling like they were dreaming?

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, stunned for seven or eight seconds. A brief silence was followed by a cheer. From now on, this volcano is no longer a nightmare for the Anxi army. Gao Xianzhi was also excited, and it suddenly occurred to him that these two methods could not only be used to cross the volcano, but also to climb over the Green Ridge, or other places that required long-distance marching. With these two magic weapons, the Anxi army can go fast and go further!

He thought of Xiao Quai's sentence "Put shoes on the horse's hooves", if this method is added, then the mobility of the Anxi Army will be further strengthened. I really want to give it a try quickly, or when I get to Xizhou (now Turpan), I will find a blacksmith to try it out?

Gao Xianzhi is the kind of person who likes to put ideas into action immediately, just do what he says, and rest for about two pillars of incense. He hung a cloth trough on the horses and fed some horse feed, and then took out the iron horse bowl (the soldier's rice bowl) and poured it with sugar and salt water, so that each horse could drink some. After that, the Anxi Guards set off again, regardless of the people and horses, all of them were full of spirit, and a gust of wind was like, and they flew to Xizhou, and at this time, the sun was far from the ground, and there was a person high.

The actual supreme governor of the Anxi Protectorate arrived, and the officials of Xizhou naturally cheered up and prepared to receive them. The Xizhou Thorn Mansion suddenly made a fuss, some were ready to wash the dust, some were ready to greet the team, some had already received orders to prepare to report to work, and there were all kinds of preparations to slap horses, wanting to be courteous in front of Shangguan and leave a good impression crowded the city gate.

But where did you think that this envoy of the four towns of Anxi, as soon as he came to Xizhou, he didn't eat first or talk. He didn't change his clothes, he was wearing a sweat-stained robe, but the first thing he did was to ask the Xizhou Thorn Shi to quickly gather the blacksmiths of the whole city to listen to the Thorn Shi's Mansion. Then he entered the Assassin's Mansion without looking back, and the two knots made the guards guard the door. Only a group of Western state officials were left to look at each other outside the door, what kind of reputation did this high school make?

To say that Xiao Quai's illness has not seen the real horse's paw, after turning over a pack horse and observing it carefully, he drew a drawing according to the bottom of the horse's hoof. Then I cut a wooden model, and after revising it a few times, it felt similar to what I saw in the book and on TV, and then handed it to the blacksmith who came to report.

Ding Ding Ding soon made two sets of horseshoe, and then scrambled to nail the two war horses. Duan Xiushi and Gu Xiaojun volunteered to serve as testers, and the result was naturally needless to say. Gao Xianzhi was still not at ease, so he personally went up to ride outside the city, and ran wherever there was a lot of gravel. Sure enough, it had no effect, Mercedes-Benz was flying, fast and stable.

Gao Xianzhi suddenly felt that he was deeply blessed, and when he recalled the experience of the past few days, it was like picking up a treasure. All kinds of thoughts came to mind, and in the end, there were only four words left: "God help me!" For a moment, he only felt high-spirited, and he galloped back to the Shi Mansion as if he was flying. jumped off the horse and grabbed Xiao Quai's shoulder: "Fuchen, you are really sent by heaven to help so." How can Xianzhi be repaid, if you don't dislike it, you are willing to become brothers with you and enjoy wealth together! ”

The audience was amazed.

How could they have ever seen Gao Xianzhi, who had always been gentle and introverted, and the high school would be so emotional. Xiao Qu was also stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to react, and laughed: "I don't dare to ask for ears." ”

……

At the same time, because of the time difference, Chang'an is already full of lights, and various markets have been closed one after another, and there are no more people on the streets. Only the inner squares are still lively, the lights are bright, and the singing and dancing are leveling. It's business as usual, so ordinary that it can't be on an ordinary night. At this time, five dusty and haggard knights knocked on the gate of Chang'an City and sailed into this majestic and magnificent imperial capital.

In the Daming Palace, the lights are bright. In the main hall, the man sitting on the top Hu bed, after blowing the last syllable, put down the white jade flute in his hand, patted the couch beside him, and said with a smile: "Yuhuan, come to me." ”

The glamorous woman in palace costume who led the dance in the field was the beautiful Yang Guifei Yang Yuhuan. Hearing the call, she looked back and smiled, and glanced at the handsome man with slightly white hair and clear eyebrows with tenderness. This man is naturally the Tang Emperor Li Longji. Yang Yuhuan moved the jade step lightly, came to Li Longji's side, took his hand and sat down, looking overwhelmed with attachment.

Yang Yuhuan smiled: "Why is San Lang so happy today?" ”

Li Longji looked at Yang Yuhuan and said with a smile: "I had a sudden inspiration today and composed a new song, you sit here, and I will blow it." With that, he raised the white jade flute, tried the sound, and began to blow.

Yang Yuhuan only looked at it with affection on the side, and there was both worship and attachment in his eyes. Li Longji played the jade flute, glanced at the jade ring from time to time, and his eyes were full of love. For a while, Lang was in love with the concubine, Qin Se and Ming, looking straight like a pair of fairy couples.

A new song was being played to the most exciting, and when the two of them were talking to each other, a long emergency came from outside. Suddenly destroyed this harmonious and charming atmosphere, and for a while, the entire palace was full of sound and light. Li Longji stopped playing, put down the jade flute, and was slightly displeased: "Lux, go see what's going on?" ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly left the hall when he heard the sound, and after a short time he hurriedly returned, and shouted from afar: "Your Majesty, it is Hongling's urgent envoy, and the inner offering Wang Chengen is urgent, and the sky is overjoyed!" ”
