The two of them delayed the time at the mouth of the sheep's intestines, and could not reach the next village and town after dark, so they had no choice but to sleep in the roadside forest for one night.

Sure enough, as Zhuang Rou thought, Tang Wushu fell ill.

She was chilled and dizzy all over, and the whole person was very uncomfortable, sitting on the horse and dangling, and finally managed to make it to the next town, and Zhuang Rou carried it into the inn.

The store almost refused to accept it in the store for fear of death, and only under Zhuang Rou's heavy money and threats did they enter the store to live.

I looked for a doctor to come and see, it turned out that it was because of the injury and weakness, plus the lack of good rest and sleeping at night with a cold, which led to the fever.

Although medicine was prescribed, the doctor ordered him to stay in bed for at least ten days and half a month, and not to be too tired. If the fever does not decrease the next day after taking the medicine, you will have to send it to the state capital and county to find a better doctor.

However, Tang Wushu was so hot and confused, and he kept remembering that he wanted to rush back to Qingliang City, muttering in his mouth, holding Zhuang Rou and not letting go.

Zhuang Rou put her hand back in the quilt, gave the guy money to help decoct the medicine, and then spread the map she bought before on the table and looked at it carefully.

Tang Wuving's original intention was to take the official road and rush over quickly, the border between the two countries is either a towering giant peak or a continuous mountain range, and there are not many places that can be flat and connected.

It is precisely because of the difficulty of the road that the belligerent Qingliang Kingdom has not been fought, and the cost is too great to be cost-effective. But even so, the two countries have experienced several battles, large and small.

The purpose of fighting back and forth is not to annex the other side, but to show strength, to decide who is stronger, who is the boss of everyone, and to obtain greater benefits from the weak during peace talks.

If you bite a hard bone and lose both, it's better to bite off the meat and wait for it to grow.

It is impossible for Zhuang Rou to let Tang Wushu return to Qingliang Kingdom smoothly, but she must go, and there are important things waiting for her to do.

This time the dealer is too much, and they have to let them know that they are not easy to mess with, and they have to pay the price for meddling in their own affairs again and again, otherwise they will think that they are a soft persimmon.

As for her brother's affairs, she also has some plans, and she is not worried that her behavior will cause any big problems.

Zhuang Rou heard from the words of the little county king, that the emperor Zhou Kun didn't seem to be very satisfied with his brother, and she didn't want to mention such a thing as being ungrateful, the emperor has never been a good person.

No matter how wasteful the dumb monarch is, he is unwilling to give up the power in his hands.

Now that the imperial power is back in his hands, it is inevitable to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and it is impossible for my brother not to be alert at all, and I don't know what he has prepared in it.

However, the emperor is too anxious, and he has been impatient for a long time.

Zhuang Rou is not worried about Zhuang Xuewen's side, but the appearance of the Zhuang family, it will be detrimental to her brother's affairs.

If they were in full control of everyone and everything, they wouldn't be haunting them all the time, which means that things aren't as out of control as they think.

The people of the dealer just lack hardship, and they usually fly too much, thinking that they can control everyone.

You have to let them know that it's not anything, they can interfere.

Zhuang Rou has to find out the suitable route now, she doesn't want to choose the official road, it is too easy to go to Qingliang Kingdom, fortunately, the road is far away, and Tang Wudi's body can't ride a horse, so she can use this excuse to give up.

Those mountain paths Tang Invincible's current body can't stand it at all, and he may die halfway through. She set her sights on the last waterway, which was quite in line with her requirements, and the next step was how to persuade Tang Wushu to go.

Tang Wushu woke up in the middle of the night, his mouth was dry and uncomfortable, so he had to wake up Zhuang Rou, who was sleeping opposite, and asked for water to drink.

Zhuang Rou poured water for her, watched her grunt and drank water, put the map on her quilt, pointed to one place and said: "Sister Tang, your body is not suitable for riding a horse and a car, I found that there is a Dongpeng River more than a day's journey from here, you can take a boat to Shuangmenguan, and from there you can go to Qingliang Country." ”

Tang Wushu looked at the map in a trance for a moment, and remembered where this was, "I know that in Qingliang Kingdom, this place is called Xiongguan, and it is indeed a passable place. ”

"However, the Shuangjie River is the only one that is the same as the two countries and rivers, and the waterway checkpoint is not open to the people, only the troops stationed there. The waterway is not bumpy, so the two of us will sit on the boat to that side first, otherwise we will take the official road for a month to get to the border. ”

She didn't say that Wang Yaoyuan, the commander of the Xiongguan garrison, was familiar with her father, and when she was young, she was led to ask for New Year's money, and she never saw her again when she became an adult, but she definitely knew the name.

When he got there, as long as he signed up, he could not only enter the customs smoothly, but also let him quietly send someone to send the letter out.

After all, there is no way to guide now, and it will be too troublesome to check if you enter from other places.

Tang Wushu leaned softly on the bed, looking at Zhuang Rou who was carefully searching for her way on the map, and only a little guilty about deceiving her to go to Qingliang Country for the sake of the people.

Even this guilt is only due to telling lies, not because of not helping the people.

She was born a noble girl with a rich life, and her daily life has nothing to do with the people, and at most she listens to others as interesting stories about the people.

As for how miserable the poor are, they can't make up how bitter they are, she is a high-headed horse when she goes out, and she looks rich and noble when she eats and lives well, and she meets any real poor people there.

Like ordinary noblewomen, what materials and styles of clothes to wear at the next tea party, and whether the jewelry they wear are used for the second time, is more important than what poor people are.

Tang Wushu also thought about it, and when he entered the border pass and found Wang Shibo, he changed it to take Zhuang Rou to play in the mountains and rivers. If you lead her to her good sister's house, she will definitely linger, and she will naturally not think that she has hidden her identity.

And Zhuang Rou saw that she agreed to take this road, and she didn't have to bother talking at all, and suddenly felt that she knew eighty percent of the people at the border.

However, even if Tang Wudi knew the officers and soldiers there, Zhuang Rou also had a way to make it impossible for her to send the letter smoothly.

"Okay, then I'll rent a carriage tomorrow and get to the dock first." She said, putting away the map.

After that, he asked Tang Wushu to take another bowl of medicine, and she went to rest.

Early the next morning, Zhuang Rou bought a carriage, laid out three beds of cotton wool, and bought a lot of kitchen utensils and a small stove for decoction of medicines, and helped Tang Wuyi into the carriage, and she personally drove the carriage to the Dongpeng River.

By the time he arrived at Dongpeng River, it was already the next day, and Tang Wushu was shaken by the carriage on the road for more than a day, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would die in his dream when he would not be able to say.

Zhuang Rou hurriedly rented a boat, lifted the person up, and poured the decoction medicine into her mouth from the time the boat started, and finally dragged Tang Wushu back from the threshold of King Yama.

Tang Wushu slept in the old cabin with a pale face, and thanked weakly: "Thank you sister, if I didn't have my sister, I might have died of illness on the road." ”

"I said earlier, take care of your injuries in the inn and then go on the road, Sister Tang, you are really anxious. Why are you in such a hurry, don't take care of your body, and help the people out of the misery. Zhuang Rou blamed.

If he really died, then he would not have anyone to lead him to Qingliang Kingdom, why is this eldest lady so willful, and she has to hold on hard if her body is not good.

Tang Wudi didn't expect that he was just having a fever, and he almost gave his life on the road, not to mention the medicine prescribed by the doctor in the town, not to mention the poor effect, and it was also extremely bitter, far from what the imperial doctor prescribed.

"After that, the two of us will ask for three chapters of the law, and you will listen to me when you encounter a situation, so that I can say that I also walked the rivers and lakes a few years earlier than my sister. If you toss it any longer, we will both die one day. Zhuang Rou said solemnly, "If I can't do it, I will send my sister to the inn and lock it up until the injury is healed." ”

Tang Wushu was in a hurry when she heard this, she didn't want to stay in the inn, so she nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I will listen to my sister when I encounter anything." ”

Zhuang Rou helped her cover the quilt, and Zhengse said: "You have a good rest, the boat will not be bumpy like a carriage." ”

"Well, this carriage has turned me upside down for half my life, and I haven't suffered like this for so long." Tang Wushu was also tired enough, and now it is much more comfortable to change boats.

The two of them were tired from the day's journey, and they went to rest, only the boatman was rocking the boat upstream, hoping to get to Shuangmen Pass early.

Eight days later, the boat finally entered the Shuangjie River, and the situation against the current improved, and the river was much calmer.

Tang Wudi's body has improved a lot, and he can already get out of bed and walk around, but he can't work yet. This illness has made her choke enough, and she no longer wants to do such a thing as sleeping in the wild.

She slept for a long time and felt uncomfortable, so she came out with Zhuang Rou in a dress to look at the scenery on both sides of the strait, but saw that there was only a desolate scene all around.

In the distance, where there were villages, they were all in ruins, and the fields were covered with dead grass and large marks of fire. In some places, you can still see that there have been wars in the past.

Zhuang Rou looked around and said casually: "It's really desolate, I don't remember when the two countries went to war last time, but fortunately, there are no bones piled up, let alone Jingguan." ”

There are not many madmen who can pile up Jingguan, where can ordinary people do this.

But not long after the words were spoken, the narrow river turned a corner, and a large number of graves suddenly appeared on both banks, all of which were simply buried with mounds of earth, and a board was erected in front of the more elaborate graves, with some vague names written on them.

Many more don't even have a board tombstone, just a mound of weedy graves.

Looking at the past, I can't see the edge, and I don't know how many people who died in the war were buried. They may be soldiers, or they may be local people, just lying silently in the dirt and reduced to bones.

Tang Wudi had never seen this kind of scene before, so he couldn't help but sigh in surprise, and couldn't help but say, "It's so miserable." ”

Zhuang Rou was a person who had piled up in Jingguan and seen the pit of the dead, she muttered: "War is like this, it is the common people and soldiers who suffer and suffer, but sometimes it is not possible to fight." ”

"If only we could all sit down and talk, and don't use knives and guns." Tang Wushu is also a girl, and his heart softened at this time.

"Huh." Zhuang Rou laughed, "We've arrived." ”

In front of her appeared a small pier, which looked like it was deserted, and there was a dilapidated and stained sign on the pier, on which the word "double door" could be faintly seen.

The dock was dilapidated and dilapidated and not half of the boats were stopped, but several boats had sunk in the water, some of which had protruded out of the murky water.

Tang Wushu pulled the clothes on his body and subconsciously stood behind Zhuang Rou, "Why is this place so terrifying, it feels a little scary." ”

"It should be fine, in such a desolate place, there should be bandits who should starve to death." Zhuang Rou glanced around and said.
