Chapter 941: A Dangerous Situation
There is an old saying: every poison must have an antidote within seven steps.
Regardless of whether this sentence makes sense or not, Qin Feng wants to give it a try. So, he took Hu Ming and others to the poisonous spring to check out.
I saw that under a tall cliff, there was such a large pool of water, which was very clear but could not see the bottom, and it was obvious that the pool was very deep. However, there are many places on the surface of the water, surging like boiling water. Obviously, this is this pool of water gathered by a living spring in the ground.
"Hu Ming, you take people around to look around and see if there are any animals and plants around the pond that can be used for medicine." Qin Feng, the Hongwu Emperor who was worried, could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
"Yes!" Hu Ming immediately took a group of military doctors and scattered around to investigate carefully.
Qin Feng began to wait anxiously, he looked at the clear pool water, and gradually reflected Xianying's voice and smile when he was happy. He always teased Xianying, and no matter what happened, Xianying always took care of his daily life, at this moment, his heart ached faintly, "Xianying, I will definitely cure you, definitely!" ”
"Report to the ......, the emperor, many soldiers have symptoms of dehydration!" Xu Huang rode his horse, turned over and dismounted, and bowed.
Surrounded by barren mountains and mountains, this pool of water is surrounded by birds and beasts, and obviously, even the animals know that the water here is not drinkable. Just one step, 200,000 people fell to death. As the leader of the whole army, Qin Feng was crying with a sad face, and he was about to die of sorrow.
Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others were also worried.
"What a good thing that is! Without water, the army is in danger! Guo Jia sighed.
Jia Xu's face was pale, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and he looked around. I found a building on the high ridge on the west side, which looked like a temple. Immediately his face was overjoyed. He bowed: "Your Majesty, there may be a land temple on the top of that mountain." You...... Do you talk to the land god about ......? ”
Qin Feng instantly changed color when he heard this, he still had the heart to engage in these things that deceived people, he was furious, and said: "I talked to the river god, the mountain god, and now I want to go to the land god?" Why don't you go? ”
The Son of Heaven was angry, and everyone knelt on the ground.
Jia Xu wiped his sweat violently, and he was convinced that Emperor Hongwu would be able to communicate with the gods. But I don't know why the emperor is angry, and he bows: "When the time of crisis, the minister has no choice, as a military adviser of the military aircraft department, the minister is derelict in his duties, and ...... is a capital crime!" Capital crime! ”
"The minister is derelict in his duties......." Guo Jia followed and bowed.
All the soldiers bowed together: "The ministers are guilty...... ”
Since ancient times, the courtiers have assisted the king, and the king has been asked to figure out everything and what do they want these courtiers to do. Therefore, Qin Feng's subordinates also sincerely pleaded guilty.
"Alright. Alright, all get up. After Qin Feng vented, his mood became even more depressed.
People are lost, when they are low. They will instinctively look for faith, to find things that can support them, even if they are ethereal gods. For example, the Heavenly Religion of the West in later generations. At the last moment, if you believe in the Western Emperor, you will be able to go to heaven. Many people do not believe in their lives. At the last moment, I believed all of them, just to find a faith to support myself.
When people are most lost. There is nothing more than knowing that you are about to die.
Now Qin Feng felt that he was not far from death, so he said in frustration: "In this case, I will go and worship." ”
The ministers were overjoyed, and Dian Wei said even more honestly: "It's good now, the emperor will talk to the land god, and he will definitely be able to find a cure, and he will definitely be able to find a water source that can be drunk." ”
When Qin Feng heard this, he really wanted to slap his ears and slap him, but he was also slapping himself in the mouth. "I've overplayed, where do I go to find the land god, and where do I go to find a cure and water source, I can't ...... ruined my reputation this time."
Qin Feng hung his head in frustration, and Chasing Yunju seemed to know the master's mood, and lowered his head. The group sparsely pulled up the mountain and walked to the temple. I saw that the temple was dilapidated, the eaves were rotten, and there were holes in the walls, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time.
...... quack, when Qin Feng walked into the temple, a group of crows flew out, startling everyone and raising a cloud of dust.
I'm a grass! Qin Feng hadn't scolded for many years, he waved his hand to fan the soil above his head, and when he looked closely, he saw that there was no statue of a god in the temple, and there was a statue of a general sitting upright in armor. There is a god card next to the pestle, which is clearly written: The Temple of General Fubo's Ma Yuan.
"Ancestors!" Ma Chao, who has been supervising the transportation of grain and grass in the rear, has only come to serve in front of the army in the past few days, and bowed his head, "The younger generations must follow the example of their ancestors and contribute to the imperial court...... ”
It's not a land temple, it's a temple of Ma Yuan. Emperor Hongwu breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and said in his heart that this time, I don't need to talk to the land god, and I don't have the fucking ability to talk about it!
Ma Yuan was a famous military strategist, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and made great achievements for Liu Xiu to unify the world. After the unification of the world, although Ma Yuan was old, he still asked Ying to go east to the west, to break the Qiang people in the west, to conquer the south to Jiaozhi, and to seal the new Marquis for merit. His old age and strength, the spirit of the horse leather shroud is even revered by later generations.
Among the Fubo generals in the past dynasties, Ma Yuan is the best. Although Tianwei is far away, there are also the merits of his old man.
"Ma Chao ......." Qin Feng called.
"Your Majesty!" Ma Chao turned his respects.
Qin Feng said earnestly: "I know a little bit about the deeds of the old general Ma Yuan, and I specially seal you the position of General Fubo today." I hope you can inherit the legacy of the old general Ma Yuan, and raise my great Qin Tianwei to ...... extraterritorial. ”
Ma Chao's face turned red instantly, and he bowed deeply: "The minister is willing to die on the battlefield for the emperor, and the horse leather shroud!" ”
Qin Feng also put a stick of incense on the horse, and said: "I have inherited the mandate of heaven, and I have been barbaric so far." After pacifying the Southern Barbarians, he waved his army to attack Wu and revitalize the rivers and mountains. Today, the soldiers do not know geography and mistakenly drink the water of the poisonous spring. Now the shape is critical, and in the past, the old general Ma Yuan also came here to successfully pacify the barbarians. If there is a spirit, I hope to guide me and find a way to deliver! ”
In fact, Qin Feng is just looking for psychological comfort, and things can't be entrusted to a stone statue. So after cleaning the Ma Yuan Temple to show his sincerity, he also went out of the temple and said, "Hu Mingke has found a way to save him?" ”
"Not ...... yet." Guo Jia said sadly.
Qin Feng shook his head and sighed, and said, "That is the case, General Xu Huang, you are looking for elite people in the army, and you are sending out four miles to search for the natives, or there may be a way to rescue them, and at the same time find a water source." ”
"Yes." Xu Huang took the order and left.
Just when Qin Feng was about to get on the horse and go down the mountain, suddenly, an old man came on the mountain road, walking with a cane, walking was very difficult, but his spirit was very good, his face was full of red light, his bones were strange, and he looked like a Central Plains man and a Southern Barbarian. Qin Feng looked at this old man and said that he was more than seventy, as the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, this old man will live here for the rest of his life, maybe there will be a good way.
So, Qin Feng didn't dare to slack off, and personally got off the horse and went over to support Lao Suo. And Lao Suo was not afraid, and let Qin Feng support him. The guards hurriedly took the hall and placed it.
"Old man, please be seated." Qin Feng sat facing south, Wenwu stood behind him, and asked warmly: "The old man has a long life?" Name? Where to stay? ”
Only then did Lao Suo throw away his crutches and bowed: "The true dragon is on the Son of Heaven, and the old man has heard more about the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, and I have the honor to meet him today." The native people of the Southern Barbarians, because the benevolence of the Son of Heaven can live, are all grateful. ”
Guo Jia and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that this old man was well-informed, and he even knew that the emperor gave preferential treatment to the Nanban captives and gave them survival.
Qin Feng was also surprised, but he immediately became happy, it seems that there are also reclusive masters in this southern barbarian land, and the older he gets, the more capable he is. So Qin Feng didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly got up and helped Lao Suo up, helped him sit down, and after returning to his seat to be modest, he immediately asked: "Old man, I want to bring the culture of the Central Plains to Nanban, so that the Nanban natives can live a stable and happy life." However, when I got here, I was harmed by the poisonous spring, does my husband have a way to resolve it? ”
Lao Suo smiled slightly and said, "The water that the Heavenly Army drinks is called the water of the dumb spring by the locals. After drinking, I can't speak, and there is nothing wrong that day, but I will definitely die in three days! ”
The retainers panicked.
"What!" Qin Feng's liver and gallbladder were broken, and he said in his heart that my personal little tail had only three days to live! He exclaimed: "My husband saves me!" ”
Lao Suo beckoned Qin Feng to be calm for a while, and then said, "In addition to this dumb spring, there are three springs. A spring in the southeast is called Rouquan, the water temperature is cold and biting, the whole body is soft and boneless as soon as people drink it, and a puddle of mud decays and dies. There is also a spring in the south, named Black Spring, this spring is more vicious, you don't need to drink it, as long as you get a little contaminated, your hands and feet will be black and you will die. There is also a spring in the southwest, which is called a spring of extinction, like water boiling, if a person uses it, his whole body festers and dies. These four springs emit poisonous gases, go deep into the forest, and you will die when you hear them! ”
Qin Feng trembled in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart that this is not a bone and a palm, or a hand, foot and mouth disease, my trip to the South Barbarian is more dangerous than Tang Seng Xitian learning scriptures. I don't have a big wet chest, I don't have a second, I only have a cloud-chasing horse, what can I do!
The ministers were frightened, their hearts were cold, and they said in their hearts that this Nanban is really not a place where people live, no wonder they are angry.
Qin Feng exclaimed: "There is no good place for this. In this way, the young people of the Nanban can't be peaceful, how can I lead the Nanban people to live a good life. I can't do the Tao for Heaven in Nanban, life is better than death! After he finished speaking, he looked at Lao Su with the longing, expectation, and gratitude that he had cultivated in the drama academy in his later years.
Jia Xu has always been calm when he sees Lao Suo, such an old guy in the wilderness, seeing the emperor react like this, if he is not an idiot, he is a master, and he must be the latter. The rescue of the three armies still needs to be on this person, so when he heard Qin Feng's words, he secretly stretched out his thumb and said in his heart that the emperor's words were in place, and the barbarians were also for the good of the southern barbarians.
Guo Jia pondered, this old man suddenly jumped out, he must be able to point, if not, what did he do when he jumped out? Looking for a draw?
Sure enough, Lao Su was moved by Qin Feng's words and the sincerity in his eyes, and under Qin Feng's expectant gaze, Lao Su said: "Don't worry, the true dragon son of heaven, the old man has a place to go here to solve the difficulties of the son of heaven." ”
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that the lord's army of 200,000 people, the lord's little tail can't die. It took a long time for you old guy to speak. (To be continued......)
