Seeing He Xi leaving, Wang Lang called over one of his subordinates and ordered: "You go and check those things, keep as much as you can, if you can't stay, find a place where no one is there and destroy them, don't leave any clues." ”

The subordinate answered, but the feet seemed to have roots, nailed to the spot and could not move, Wang Lang asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" Broken leg? ”

The subordinate hurriedly said: "No, the little one just has something to ask the commander-"

Wang Lang was thinking about the things in Shuzhong, Tuoba Yue was infected with the epidemic, and only a few of them knew about it, and the rest of them were still in the dark, in order not to shake the morale of the army, they could only do this.

The subordinate didn't seem to feel Wang Lang's impatience, and leaned closer before saying seriously: "The subordinate is just curious, even if the prince needs help, let's just go, how to let a woman-"

In their eyes, no matter how noble He Xi is, no matter how noble her identity is, she is a woman after all, Wang Lang slapped the man's head fiercely, and said coldly: "When did you become so noisy, like a girl, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, and master's affairs are what you can inquire about?" This is the prince's order, and naturally the prince has his own reasoning. ”

As soon as the man heard that it was Tuoba Yue's meaning, he hurriedly asked, "Does the prince have news?" ”

Wang Lang stiffly hummed, and then urged: "Okay, don't inquire so much, hurry up and do things, don't delay the time to leave." ”

The man answered, and hurriedly ran down, Wang Lang turned his head to look in the direction of He Xi's carriage, and happened to see He Xi change into men's clothes and get down from the carriage, the dark robe lined He Xi's body more and more thin, the long hair was tied up high, revealing the neck with white sleeves, but it was covered by a high collar, Wang Lang was a rough man who hadn't read much, but he also tasted and heard people say: Gongzi is like jade, and it is nothing more than that, suddenly I remembered the figure of another person in my mind, a little cinnabar mole between the eyebrows, It seems to be fire, it stayed in his heart like this, he seemed to overlap the figures of these two people, thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head, and there was a chill on his body, the person in front of him was a woman dressed as a man, but that Jin Gongzi was a real man, how could he-

He Xi walked in front of Wang Lang, looked at Wang Lang with a depressed expression, and couldn't help asking, "Did something happen?" ”

Wang Lang's face turned red, he coughed a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to speak, did he want him to say that he had feelings for a man? Just when Wang Lang didn't know how to answer, the subordinate who had just run down ran over and said, "Commander, the things have been packed according to your orders, and you can set off now." ”

As soon as he looked up after speaking, he saw He Xi dressed as a man, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then lowered his head again, not daring to look at it again, Wang Lang has been paying attention to the movements of this subordinate, and seeing him with this expression, his heart can't help but feel dark, it turns out that he is not the only one who feels this way.

The depression in his heart dissipated, and he said loudly: "Then let's go." ”

He Xi nodded, turned over and got on the horse, Wang Lang was startled by her skillful movements, and asked, "Little master, I have prepared a carriage for you——"

He pointed to the carriageway behind him where He Xi had changed his clothes.

He Xi didn't look back, shook his head and said, "The carriage is too slow." We have to rush to Shuzhong as soon as possible, let's go. ”

Seeing that He Xi was so persistent, Wang Lang nodded, and then turned over and got on the horse, and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”

At this time, everyone had already changed out of the clothes of the horse thieves and bandits, and changed into ordinary clothes, Wang Lang was holding the horse in front, and everyone followed, and after a while, one by one the figures had disappeared into the woods.

He Xi half-bowed, holding the reins tightly in her hand, she and Mu Cheng have been playing together since she was a child, this equestrian skill is not bad, the white horse under her feet is windy, galloping forward, the wind brought up, cold hit the face, some pain, He Xi pursed her lips, her eyes looked firmly ahead, the trees on both sides kept retreating, and Wang Lang's horse was not far in front.

The flying horsehair draws an elegant arc in the air, which is very beautiful, the sound of the horse's hooves, one after another on the ground under the feet, faintly has the momentum of thunder, Tuoba Yue, you wait for me.

At this time, in Shuzhong, in the study of the City Lord's Mansion, a person was half-leaning on a chair, his face was pale, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the people in the room tilted their faces slightly, and their eyes were still as cold as ever.

"Come in—" The man in the room spoke, his voice hoarse, just two simple words, as if his breath was unsteady, and he coughed.

The person outside the door heard the coughing sound of the people in the house, and hurriedly pushed the door in, and saw the painful figure lying on the desk, he put down the dark and thick medicine bowl in his hand, and walked to the person's side: "Lord, lord, how are you?" ”

Yes, the person in front of him was Tuoba Yue, he waved his hand slightly and said, "It's okay-"

But before he finished speaking, he coughed again, and Yue Qi, who looked heartbreaking, was distressed, he hurriedly took the teacup, and wanted Tuoba Yue to drink some, Tuoba Yue's body kept trembling, as if he was suffering some great pain.

Suddenly, Tuoba Yue had a fishy sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, splashing on the white paper in front of him, dotted with stars, it turned out to be like a blooming winter plum in the snow, Yue Qi was stunned, and he hurriedly shouted outside: "Sir, sir——"

With the voice, an old man with gray hair came in, carrying a square box on his back, he was dressed in plain clothes, and he didn't have time to put the medicine box down. He hurriedly walked in front of Tuoba Yue, his fingers trembled and covered Tuoba's pulse, and he muttered for a moment before he said: "Lord Wang, the old man is now going to use a silver needle to prick your Baihui acupoint and shoulder well acupoint, it will hurt, you bear with it." ”

Tuoba Yue nodded, the old man took out a few silver needles from the medicine box, and stabbed them at these two acupuncture points, his fingers trembled slightly, and he seemed to be very nervous, Tuoba Yue's pale face was becoming more and more bloodless, he pursed his lips, and felt that the pain seemed to be pouring out of the bone marrow, entangled in the blood and swimming all over his body, like 10,000 ants, constantly gnawing on his body, as if he wanted to eat himself up.

The old man adjusted the position of the silver needle improperly, but Tuoba Yue's breath stabilized little by little. But in the same way, he also felt that his strength was being withdrawn little by little, and after the last stitch was pulled out, he completely lost consciousness, and his eyes were dark, and he fainted.

Yue Qiyan quickly stretched out his hand to take Tuoba Yue, and said urgently: "Lord Wang! ”

The old man said: "The prince is just tired, this is very exhausting the spirit of the prince, and I have only seen the prince alone until now." ”

Yue Qi saw the calm appearance of the old man, and also knew that Tuoba Yue was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He first helped Tuoba Yue to the bed, carefully covered Tuoba Yue's body, and then turned back, just as he saw the old man staring at the white paper on the case, but it was only a moment, he got up, walked to the medicine bowl that Yue Qifang put on the table, he picked up the medicine bowl, and poured it into the flower pot on the side.

Yue Qi stepped forward quickly, snatched the medicine bowl and said angrily: "Sir, what are you doing?" ”

A bitter smile overflowed from the corner of the old man's mouth, he looked at Yue Qi, and suddenly said: "This medicine is useless for the prince now, and the prince will not need to drink it again in the future." ”

Yue Qi didn't understand and asked, "Why?" ”

The old man shook his head with a sigh and said, "The prince's condition has deteriorated, and this medicine has no effect. ”

The medicine bowl in Yue Qi's hand slipped to the ground, and after making a crisp sound, it fell to pieces, as if it was her mood at this time.

"No, it won't be like this, there must be a way, sir, think about it, there must be a way!" Yue Qi suddenly knelt down suddenly, ignoring the porcelain piece that had just broken under his knee, and the sharp horns pierced into the flesh, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.

The old man was a little moved, but finally sighed helplessly and turned away.

Only Yue Qi was left, a man kneeling on the ground, a dignified seven-foot man, crying like a child at this time, but his tears were silent.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he got up and walked out the door.

"Yueqi-" There was a weak call behind him, and the voice seemed to be a hard shackle, tying Yueqi's feet in place.

He clasped his fingers tightly on the door panel, took a deep breath, forced the crystal under his eyes back, and then turned around, the person behind him was already propped up from the bed, and his eyes were looking at the damaged porcelain pieces on the ground.

Summoned again: "The seventh day of the month-"

Yue Qi responded, and then explained in general: "Lord Wang, this medicine was accidentally broken by his subordinates, and his subordinates will go to boil a bowl again, Lord Wang, you should rest first." ”

There was a sudden silence behind him, and for a long time, he only heard Tuoba Yue sigh softly: "Since the medicine is useless, why bother to boil it again?" ”

He heard it, and he had already heard the old man's words, Yue Qi didn't turn his head, just lowered his head and said: "This medicine doesn't work, my subordinates will go to find another medicine, there will always be a medicine that can be——"

"The seventh day of the month—" Tuoba Yue seemed to want to say something.

"Lord Wang, let's have a good rest, you have to take care, even if it's not for yourself, for our brother, for the sake of the concubine Niangniang, for Miss Xiao Nai, and even, for the little lord of Hexi in the palace-" Yue Qi said in a deep voice.
