On February 5, 2051, when the sun reached his buttocks, Rick was still lying high.

Chrissy and Gyokuro, who had already gotten up, tried their best to wake him up. Chrissy was so angry that she pinched his back muscles hard. Rick had to open his eyes in pain.

Chrissy pointed to the sunlight that had poked her head out of the window and said, "My lord, you are going to leave today." ”

"Yes." Rick was also ready to fall asleep.

Chrissy had to pinch it again and ask again, "When are you going to leave?" ”

"Evening." Rick reluctantly got up and said.

"Why so late?" Chrissy asked, surprised.

Rick opened his sleepy eyes and smiled mysteriously, "It's a secret, but it doesn't hurt to tell you." I heard that in the Queen's legion, both the soldiers and the generals are very proud, if I don't give them a dismount first. This trip to Dakai will definitely have problems. ”

"So, you're going to make them wait for most of the day?" Chrissy asked, "Aren't you afraid that Her Majesty the Queen will say that you have delayed the timing and blame you?" ”

"Don't worry." Rick stretched and hugged her and Yulu to the window and said, "Your Majesty only ordered me to leave today, and didn't say whether it was morning or evening, I can leave whenever I want, as long as I don't miss today." ”

Chrissy didn't expect him to think so carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "It seems that those soldiers are ruffians who have met a big scoundrel and are destined to suffer." ”

Rick smiled and said, "This is also a last resort." ”

Chrissy nodded, then instructed the maid to fetch water for Rick to freshen up. Together with Gyokuro, he sorts Rick's clothes. Rick watched them dress themselves up, and the happiness in his heart was extremely satisfying.

Then the door was pushed open. A maid walked in with water. Rick took a look. This glance stunned him. He was surprised and asked, "Why are you?" ”

The maid smiled sweetly and said, "The slave and maid see the young master." ”

"You don't have to call yourself a slave." Rick hurriedly said. It turned out that this maid was none other than Su Qiong, who was given to him by Marquis Jin.

Chrissy said while Rick was freshening up: "I'll let Su Qiong follow me in the future, but if you go to Dakai, you can't take care of it without a close person, so you can take her with you!" Not to mention, she also gestured to Rick, meaning that Su Qiong had been checked. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with her.

Rick shook his head and said, "This is not a trip to Dakai, how can I bring a maid with me?" Besides, Gyokuro is enough. One more person, one more burden. ”

"Then think of her as Hanxue's assistant!" Chrissy laughed.

"You're saying I still have to bring Lu Hanxue, why?"

Chrissy reminded: "Don't forget, along the way, you have to command your subordinates and generals, and also treat the illness of Commander Tang. Qinglu and I are not sure to cure Commander Tang's illness, although you take Caifeng and Leng Ying with you, you may not be able to succeed. Alva told me that Lu Hanxue might be able to help you. So you'd better bring her with you. In addition, old Helo was familiar with Dakai. It might help if you bring him along. ”

Rick thought about it, but he was very resistant to bringing Su Qiong. Chrissy had to whisper in his ear: "This is for your sake, since you have cultivated the Emperor Moon Gong, I and Yulu can't satisfy you by joining forces, and you only take Yulu with you when you go to Dakai, which is not good for your health." There is a chance to accept Su Qiong, we don't mind having one more sister. ”

Rick thought it was ridiculous, but Chrissy was telling the truth. In desperation, he had to accept it. However, he made up his mind that he would not indulge himself lightly, and drag a young girl who was not familiar with him into the water, because that would do her or himself no good.

As soon as he finished freshening up, a subordinate hurriedly came to report: Commander Tang of the Praetorian Guard came to the Duke's Mansion and asked to see Rick by name.

Of course, Rick knew that she must have come to ask him why he hadn't set off for a long time, and he didn't intend to avoid it, so he immediately followed his subordinates to the living room to see Tang Zhaoxian.

As soon as he walked into the living room, Tang Zhaoxian, who was originally sitting on the side, stood up angrily and asked, "Why don't you set off yet?" ”

Rick said with a hippie smile: "Shao'an, don't be impatient, I am also doing this to better complete the task assigned to me by His Majesty." ”

"That's your explanation?" Tang Zhaoxian said angrily, "You let a whole team of 1,000 people wait for you outside the city, but you are very leisurely." Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will punish you for your sins? ”

"What am I guilty of?"

"Delay the opportunity and disobey orders."

"That's not right." Rick said, "His Majesty ordered me to lead the team to set off today, and he didn't say that it would be morning, or noon, or evening. As long as I set out today, I believe that I have not violated His Majesty's will. Not to mention the timing, I don't even know what the mission is. If you say that the timing is delayed, then you can't blame me. ”

"You--" Tang Zhaoxian was so angry that her face turned white. Rick couldn't see her face, but he could imagine her angry. Therefore, he felt that he might have gone too far, so he couldn't help but explain what he said to Chrissy to Tang Zhaoxian.

The reason was clear, and Tang Zhaoxian's anger gradually subsided. Finally, she asked, "So, are you trying to dampen their spirits?" ”

"Exactly." Rick nodded, "I heard that the Thousand Horsemen who lead this team of thousands is a bull temper, and I don't want him to make a mistake. ”

"You mean the Commander of the Thousand Horsemen? He has a bad temper. ”

"I heard that he has made many military exploits, and he comes from a declining aristocratic family." Seeing that Tang Zhaoxian was no longer urging him to go on the road, Rick took the opportunity to sit down on the chair next to her.

Tang Zhaoxian nodded: "The Queen's Legion is a legion with the children of nobles as the main body, but there are also some civilians who have joined, and the number is about a quarter. Tu Lun prides himself on being a commoner, so he has always used this identity to interact with the generals in the army, and over time, even he almost forgot that he was once a nobleman. ”

"I see." Rick said abruptly, and asked him strangely, "You seem to know him well." ”

Tang Zhaoxian shook her head and said, "I just heard others talk about him. At this point, Rick stopped talking and asked, "How are the units of this thousand-man team configured?" ”

"Full setup. Five hundred archers, five hundred pikemen. Tang Zhaoxian replied without thinking about it.

Rick asked casually, and did not expect Tang Zhaoxian to answer clearly, so he was a little surprised by this answer, he touched his nose, and felt very embarrassed - because as the executor of the task, he didn't even know the configuration of the troops he was about to lead, which showed a very strict problem - he was really lazy.

So, he hurriedly shifted the question again, and when he had nothing to ask, he had to turn the topic to her condition and ask, "Have you felt any abnormal changes in your body these days?" ”

"Nope." Tang Zhaoxian replied, "It's just that the leopard print is more obvious." ”

"Can you do it?"

"Yes, but you can only use 30%, and any more will feel hard, and the internal organs will be like fire. Do you think my illness can be cured? ”

Of course, Rick didn't know how to answer this question, he was a complete amateur in medicine, and the question just now was just to cover up the embarrassment caused by the previous topic. However, since Tang Zhaoxian asked this question, and it was still early, Rick decided to take her to see Lu Hanxue, and at the same time called Caifeng and Leng Ying over. Rick believes that two Nymph goddesses and a skilled medical deer Hanxue can cure any incurable disease. So he took Tang Zhaoxian to the wooden house where Lu Hanxue lived. As soon as they arrived on the front foot, Caifeng and Leng Ying arrived on the back foot.

Lu Hanxue checked Tang Zhaoxian's pulse, and then said lightly: "Her illness can be cured." ”

"How?" Rick asked. Caifeng and Leng Ying looked at Lu Hanxue in surprise, probably because they didn't expect her to say it so easily. On this side, Tang Zhaoxian asked excitedly: "Can my disease really be cured?" ”

Lu Hanxue nodded: "The poison in your body is not difficult to solve, the biggest problem is how to curb the powerful counter-devouring force in your body, I have thought of the most effective way--"

"What's the solution?" Tang Zhaoxian asked urgently.

"Waste martial arts."

"What?" Rick and Tang Zhaoxian exclaimed at the same time. Caifeng and Leng Ying nodded appreciatively, obviously they hadn't thought of this method beforehand, but it was undeniable that this method was the most effective.

"It's not going to work." Tang Zhaoxian objected, "I can't lose my martial arts. ”

"Why?" Rick asked, "What could be more important than preserving your life?" ”

"You don't understand." Tang Zhaoxian shook her head and said, "Your Majesty needs me now, as soon as I lose my martial arts, I will inevitably retire from the position of the commander of the Guard, and Your Majesty will have to choose someone else, which is too dangerous for Your Majesty." ”

"Is the situation so strict?" Rick asked, puzzled.

Tang Zhaoxian nodded.

In fact, Rick had believed it for a long time. Tang Zhaoxian didn't even want her life for the sake of the queen, just to leave her martial arts and continue to protect the queen. This even Rick had to be moved. So he asked Lu Hanxue, "Is there any other way?" ”

Lu Hanxue shook his head and said, "For the time being, I didn't expect that now I can only do my best and obey the destiny of heaven, maybe Commander Tang will have other opportunities in the future, and maybe he can solve this crisis." ”

Rick shook his head helplessly, looking a little frustrated. In comparison, Tang Zhaoxian was very open-minded, she smiled and said: "Don't call me Tang Commander anymore, my name is Tang Zhaoxian, you can call me Zhaoxian." ”

"Zhaoxian. We'll figure it out. You have to trust us. Caifeng stepped forward and grabbed one of Tang Zhaoxian's hands and said.

Tang Zhaoxian nodded.

Lu Hanxue suddenly said at this time: "There is another way to save it. This sentence lifted the expressions of Rick and the others, and he hurriedly asked, "What method." ”

"I don't know." Lu Hanxue said, "But I know that there is a potion book that once recorded how to use medicine for people with phantom beast blood. The book may also have written about the treatment. (To be continued......)
