It was a little gloomy in the morning, and Qingzhi went out of the barracks with a few doctors to pick herbs in the field.

Because these days are quite cold, the number of patients suffering from wind and cold in the army has increased significantly, and the nearby towns and villages can no longer buy herbal medicines, so the military medical battalion can only send a few doctors with dozens of soldiers to go out to collect herbs.

The first purpose of bringing soldiers was to guard against a sudden attack by the enemy, and the second was to use them as labor.

Just tell them which herbs they need to pick, and let them pick them together.

Originally, the doctors in the military medical camp didn't ask Qingzhi to go with her, she asked to go by herself, and she wanted to go out with them to breathe.

Seeing that she was going, Yu Qishu also asked to go with her.

When the imperial doctor saw that both of them had gone, he also said that he would go together.

So, the final scale was led by the permanent imperial doctor, Qingzhi, Yu Qishu and two other doctors, and more than 30 soldiers went out of the barracks to pick herbs.

In the winter mountains, most of the herbs have dried up. Although most of the herbs were originally dried and dried in the sun or dried after returning, most of the herbs that were dried on the ground could not be used because they were rotten and moldy, and could not be used as medicines.

Fortunately, there are still some drugs that can dig its roots, such as Bo Gongying, Qianhu, Huangjing, Pueraria, Parsnip, etc.

Since the soldiers carried swords, they all used their stools to dig up the roots of the herbs, and the doctors commanded them to dig up the herbs because they had no tools.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, because there is ice on the ground, so when standing halfway up the mountain, you have to take every step carefully.

Just as she was two steps below a thin mountain path, Aoeda was directing the three soldiers next to her to dig herbs when she suddenly heard the sound of horses walking behind her.

She looked behind her, and saw five or six horses riding this way.

She didn't know the people riding in front of her, because they were dressed like ordinary villagers.

However, she recognized the two people riding behind her at a glance, that is, Lu Shikang and Qi Fang.

She only glanced over there, then immediately turned her head around and continued to direct the soldiers to dig for medicine.

Yu Qishu was standing two steps away from her at this time, and he also saw those people and Lu Shikang and Qi Fang behind them.

When they rode to the side, Yu Qishu greeted them: "Master Lu, Brother Qi, what are you doing here?" ”

These days he sleeps in the same tent with Qi Fang, and he is already very familiar with him.

Qi Fang replied to him: "My third prince and I accompanied His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Tangbao cavalry out for some things, and it may take a few days to come back." ”

Half an hour ago, after the Tangbao cavalry returned to the barracks, Prince Xiao asked them to disguise themselves as ordinary people according to Lu Shikang's practice, and go to the edge of the vegetable field within a radius of several hundred miles to see if they could find out the whereabouts of Zhou Jing's troops in this way.

Just before the Tangbao cavalry set off, Prince Xiao asked Wushu to call Lu Shikang and asked him if he had anything to explain to the Tangbao cavalry.

Lu Shikang said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he would move forward together.

After Qi Fang knew that the third prince was going to go with him, he also asked to go with him.

His purpose is to protect the third son.

Although the Tangbao cavalry are all elite generals, his duty is to protect the third prince, as long as the third prince goes out, he wants to go out with him.

When Qi Fang went back to his tent to pack his clothes, Wang Lu once told him that the reason why the third prince wanted to go out with Tang Bao was because he didn't want to endure hardships in the army.

Qi Fang didn't know what kind of ordeal Wang Lu said about enduring the ordeal, but since the third prince looked a little uncomfortable in the barracks, it was better to go out for a walk.

Now, passing by these soldiers and doctors, Qi Fang looked at Yu Qishu and answered his words, and found that Dr. Kong, as the brother of the third son, didn't even say hello, and he was a little surprised.

Dr. Kong kept his back to them, as if he hadn't heard his conversation with Yu Qishu at all.

He glanced back at the third prince again, and saw that he was staring ahead, as if he didn't see Dr. Kong.

Thinking about what Wang Lu said before, he always felt that the unhappiness of the third prince might have something to do with Dr. Kong.

However, what happened to the two of them, he didn't dare to guess.

The Tangbao cavalry in front also stopped for a moment and asked the soldiers who were picking herbs, "What are you doing here?" ”

One soldier replied, "Pick herbs." At present, there are a lot of patients, and herbal medicines cannot be bought, and it is inconvenient to buy them from far away. ”

The Tang Bao cavalry who spoke just now said: "Then don't you just care about picking herbs all the time and forget the safety of these doctors." ”

The soldier who spoke just now replied: "You can rest assured that this is it. ”

The Tangbao cavalry at the front only paused for a moment, and then continued to lead the way.

Before leaving, Qi Fang glanced at Dr. Kong again, and then suddenly said to her, "Doctor Kong, watch your step!" ”

He watched as the place where she was standing was a little steep, afraid that she would slip and fall if she was not careful.

Yu Qishu glanced at it, quickly pulled her, pulled her to a gentle place above, and said to her: "You can't stand so underneath." ”

Qingzhi's hand was grabbed by Yu Qishu and involuntarily glanced at Lu Shikang, and saw that his eyes were only looking at the soldiers beside her, not at her, nor at Yu Qishu, and she didn't know if he had just seen the scene where Yu Qishu was pulling herself.

Or did he see it but look away when she turned her head?

She hurriedly withdrew her hand from Yu Qi's book.

After the Tangbao cavalry left with Lu Shikang and Qi Fang, Yu Qishu said: "I just ...... I'm afraid you'll fall. He saw that the place where she was standing was indeed a little dangerous, so he couldn't help but want to pull her up a little.

Qingzhi said: "I know. Thank you, brother, for your concern. ”

At this time, a soldier said with a smile: "Those who know know that you two are brothers, but those who don't know, listen to the two of you, and think that you have just met." ”

Yu Qishu said: "My junior brother and I have indeed known each other for a short time. So, there are still some raw points. ”

The soldier who spoke just now joked: "Senior brother, senior brother, you should be familiar with it when you see one side, this is not necessary." You've known each other for a while......"

Qingzhi changed the topic and said, "This big brother, do you see the herbs over there?" That's the front hu, which can also be dug up. As she spoke, she pointed to a piece of nonsense to the southwest of her.

The soldier looked in the direction of her finger, glanced at the front beard, and said, "Okay, I'll go dig over there." ”

What he said in his mouth Qingzhi heard it but didn't hear it in her heart, what she was thinking about now was, where was Lu Shikang going? And why did he go out with the Tangbao cavalry?
