All the soldiers can rest assured to go back to stick to their posts, the Khitan may attack at any time, we must be vigilant, and we must not show their weaknesses and let them take advantage of the situation. ”

Mu Tianyan also stood up and said in a firm and powerful tone, "I believe in the emperor, he will definitely be able to survive this hurdle, what we have to do now is to recuperate in the emperor for a few days and guard this country for him!"

"Yes." Everyone responded in disbelief, and finally scattered, leaving only the military doctor, Su Jinghong, Zhan Mutian, and Xiao Zuo, their faces extremely solemn.

I stared at their expressions, and a bad premonition rose in my heart, could it be that Xiao Jincheng's injuries were serious? The military doctor said this just to stabilize the morale of the army? I lunged forward, "What the hell is wrong with him, if there is anything I need to see." ”

"Nope." Zhao Zhirui blocked me and scolded me fiercely, "If it weren't for you, how could the emperor be so injured!"

The anxiety and worry in my stomach turned into anger because of his words, and I suddenly sneered, "General Zhao, if you hadn't begged me to come here, would you be able to confront Liancheng so honestly today?" If it weren't for you, I would have been used by Liancheng today to exchange for Liancheng's thoughts? She's a great tool to use, but you're disappointed that she ended up trading her for me. This is a truth, if you want to get something, you are destined to give up one thing, this is the cycle of heavenly principles. ”

"It's not your turn to refute what General Ben has done, and you are not qualified." Zhao Zhirui's face was flushed.

"Alright, don't argue." Xiao Zuo finally couldn't restrain himself from yelling, "Your Majesty's life is hanging on now, and you are still in the mood to quarrel like this." ”

"Hanging by the balance?" I immediately lowered my voice and repeated this crucial word, and immediately looked at the military doctor on the side with questioning eyes, "Didn't you say that he was fine?" ”

"That's to stabilize the morale of the military. Lian Chengsi's knife was eight points of strength, without any mercy, it was completely aimed at the emperor's life, and now I have stopped the bleeding for the emperor and controlled the injury a little. In the northern wasteland, medicinal materials are scarce, and it is even more difficult to find medicine. If you send someone to go back to the south to get it without sleeping, it will take at least ten days to go back and forth, and I am afraid that the emperor's illness will not be able to drag on for so long. The military doctor also lowered his voice, for fear that the emperor's illness would leak to the ears of the soldiers, and it would be another big mess.

I frowned and asked, "Isn't there any other way?" ”

The medic looked at me, then at the other three, and then at the other three.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, mother-in-law." Mu Tianyan's mood also began to fluctuate a little, and he yelled at him impatiently.

The medic raised his index finger and pointed to the right end. We all followed his gesture and looked, and the place he pointed to was impartial, it was the snow-capped mountain a few miles away that condensed hundreds of zhang of ice and snow, "Dawn and snow dew, snow lotus." The dew should be the purest and cleanest dew at the peak, and if I guessed correctly, snow lotus will definitely grow in such a harsh place where the seasons are like winter. As long as you find these two herbs there, snow dew as a guide and snow lotus as a medicine, grind them into powder and mix them together, half of them are taken internally and half externally, and they will definitely be able to alleviate the injury and the precious medicinal materials will be delivered ten days later. ”

"Okay, I'll go." Xiao Zuo said without hesitation.

"No, let's go, General Xiao is the person the emperor relies on the most, and now the front is so tense in the war, you can't leave! And Mu Xiang, you have a good mouth, and staying can stabilize the morale of the army. Zhao is a martial artist who is willing to go to the snow mountain for the emperor to look for, if he can't find it, he will definitely not return. Zhao Zhirui didn't hesitate at all, and was about to leave with a knife, but I immediately blocked him in front of him, "I'm going too." ”

"You? You're going to get me in trouble. Zhao Zhirui's eyes were full of disdain.

"The emperor's injury is undecided, this matter must not be revealed, now only I can help you, one more person will have more strength. I'm not afraid of going up to the snowy mountains, I'm not afraid of the cold, and I will never cry out in front of you. If I shout, you can leave me alone, I just want to go up the snowy mountain with you, I really want to do something for him, that's all. ”

My tone was almost pleading, Xiao Jincheng was in danger now, and I just wanted to do something for him, not just wait.

Xiao Zuo and Mu Tianyan were silent. It's not easy for them to meddle in this matter, it all depends on General Zhao's intentions.

General Zhao's round eyes looked me up and down for a long time, and finally snorted lightly, "If you like to follow, you can go, if you can't keep up, Zhao will definitely not wait for you for a moment." ”

In a word, I still have Xiao Zuo and Mu Tianyan, and I breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

OK. Fortunately, this old stubborn is a person who is really good to Xiao Jincheng.

……

After getting Zhao Zhirui's permission, I didn't set off with him immediately, but brought some dry food and a fire box. Seeing that the sky had gradually darkened, how could I go up the steep snow-capped mountain without a light fire.

In such a virtual space, it is difficult to say what will happen on the snowy mountains, so we are going to take the peak morning dew now, presumably to spend the night on the mountain, and there is no dry food where to continue to search.

After preparing everything, I carried a small burden of things and went up the snow mountain with him, and when I left, Mu Tianyan asked me to be careful in everything, follow Zhao Zhirui's steps, and don't get lost. He knows Zhao Zhirui, if I can't keep up, he will definitely leave me alone, who cares if I am a virtuous concubine or not.

However, being able to write such a courtier for Xiao Jincheng is really a blessing that he has cultivated in this life.

Everything Zhao Zhirui did was for the sake of the imperial court, and for the sake of Xiao Jincheng, he would send me out at the cost of bullying the king.

As long as Xiao Jincheng has the slightest mistake, he will definitely stick to his principles and work against Xiao Jincheng, and there are not many such officials in the court now.

It's just that Zhao Zhirui's thinking is too pedantic and old-fashioned, and he doesn't know how to be flexible, and blindly rushes forward, which will cause dissatisfaction among many people. Just like when he had to arrange for Zhao Ziyan to take refuge in the Zhenbei Palace, he never considered the consequences......

This is also the shortcoming of his character......

The moon shines on the snow and becomes frost, the cold invades the fox fur, and the ice and snow soak the snow boots.

I followed Zhao Zhirui to climb the snow peak together, although the road to the snow peak is not steep, but the night is dark and the wind is high, and the snow covers the road, only the lamp in my hand can barely illuminate the road ahead, and it is really difficult to walk.

But it's not bad for me, after all, I have a bit of a martial arts foundation, and it is not very difficult to get up......

After about two hours of climbing, we were halfway up the mountain.

The road became more difficult, our feet made a 'zigza' sound in the cold snowflakes, and my physical strength gradually decreased, and my panting became more and more intense.

Zhao Zhirui ignored me from beginning to end, and walked up vigorously, I began to get tired, but I couldn't shout tired, because I promised before going up the mountain.

Seeing that Zhao Zhirui was getting farther and farther away from me, I wanted to catch up, but suddenly I tripped over something under my feet, and then my legs weakened, and I stumbled and fell into the cold snow.

I think, I'm going to finish, Zhao Zhirui, an old stubborn, will definitely leave me in this ice and snow and ignore me, I'm not afraid of death, but at least let me see that Xiao Jincheng is okay, so that I can leave with peace of mind.

My cheeks were pressed against the cold snow, and the freezing cold made my whole body numb, until a pair of hands pulled me up from the snow, "If you can't do it yourself, you can't climb the mountain road, so why bother to ask for it." ”

Sitting on the ground, I was able to barely support my almost exhausted body with the help of Zhao Zhirui's arm, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't care about me." ”

Zhao Zhirui snorted softly, "Do you think the old man is willing to turn back?" If it weren't for the dry food and fire box all on you, it wouldn't matter to the old man whether you lived or died. ”

I coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then smiled dismally, "It was the dry food and the fire box that saved my life." ”

"Okay, you save some energy, rest for half an hour and continue on your way. We must reach the top of the mountain before dawn and get the cleanest dew of the snow, so that the emperor can be saved. ”

I breathed deeply, calming my physical strength, and Zhao Zhirui didn't speak again, just kept supporting my crumbling body with his arms.

In fact, at this time, he is not such an unreasonable rough person, otherwise he would have left me to go out to find Manna Snow Lotus by himself, and maybe he never cared about the food.

Half an hour later, my strength recovered a little, I took some food to replenish my strength, and immediately continued to climb towards the snowy peak with him. When I was about to reach the peak, it became steeper and steeper, and my physical strength was still insufficient, and I almost fell from the snow peak, but fortunately, Zhao Zhirui held me tightly and saved me from a disaster.

His gentle, calloused hand suddenly reminded me of my father in another plane, and my father's hand was like this, warm and strong.

Hey, I don't know how my father and mother spent this time when I was in a coma...... The thought of them makes my eyes a little sour......

Thousands of miles of wasteland are vast with snow, the wind is fierce, and the corners of the clothes are flying.

At the dawn of dawn, I crawled down and gently swept the dew on the snow into the bottle with the snow-white feathers in my hand, and in a moment I filled a large bottle, and then carefully put it into my arms.

"Look around for snow lotus, I heard from the military doctor that it usually grows on the edge of the snow peak." Zhao Zhirui saw that I had already put away the bottle, so he searched around on the top of the long snow peak.

I stepped on the edge cautiously, poked my head out and looked down, this snow peak is really not ordinary high, if a person falls, he will be crushed.

"Concubine Xian, let's be careful." Zhao Zhirui looked back suddenly, his stiff voice with a hint of worry.

"Yes." I smiled at him, I really didn't expect that Zhao Zhirui, who had always been prejudiced against me, would care about me.

Didn't he wish I had died, so that Xiao Jincheng could be his emperor with peace of mind, and his sudden change of style really made me very uncomfortable!

Suddenly, on the edge of the snowy peak, I saw a brilliant white flower, growing proudly in the wind and snow, with a delicate color. What kind of excitement can not be concealed if it is not Snow Lotus, I immediately squatted down and reached out to reach the Snow Lotus, "General Zhao, I found Snow Lotus!"

I shouted at Zhao Zhirui while trying hard to reach the snow lotus below, but it was too far away, and I was still a long way from reaching.
