Chapter 35: The Second Secret Report
In the boss's tent, Ma Xiaotian was listening to the second secret report from the spies.
"General, the secret report said that the group of men and horses still did not stop to rest, and now they are about fifty miles away from us." Qian Kun said to the general after reading the text on the secret report.
"Master thinks, why do these people go non-stop all the way?" Ma Xiaotian asked Qian Kun rhetorically.
"This group of people is in a hurry, not like ordinary travelers and caravans. It's like I'm on the run" Qian Kun frowned and thought for a while, habitually picked up the feather fan on the desk again, shook the handle lightly, and continued:
"Recently, I have heard that there are conflicts of interest between various tribes within the Hu people, and perhaps some tribe has sent an envoy to seek refuge in our king."
"Master judged that he was a messenger seeking asylum, not a spy spying on the military?"
Ma Xiaotian's eyes flashed with ease, and he agreed with what the master said, which was thought of with him.
"General, if it is a spy, how can it be so unevasive on our official road, so swaggering, judging by the speed of their travel, it should be in a hurry, and also, they are all sturdy male guards, and they do not carry goods when they travel, at first glance, they are simply dressed lightly, and the person they escort must be of an unusual status." Qian Kun slowly shook the feather fan and analyzed unhurriedly.
"If it were a spy, he wouldn't walk on the official road so generously that our spies wouldn't know it if they kept up. I think they must have deliberately targeted our spies, as for why? Perhaps he needs our protection and deliberately exposes his tracks. ”
"Keep watching, before this group of people enters Youzhou City, if they don't take the initiative to report, they will be arrested." In the end, Ma Xiaotian decided this matter.
If this group of people is really seeking refuge, they will definitely take the initiative to reveal their identities when they enter Youzhou City, if not, then it is necessary to collect the net and fish, and it is decided to catch it and ask clearly.
When Ma Xiaotian and Qian Kun were analyzing the identities of this mysterious team, the horse team was still moving in the direction of Youzhou City.
In the carriage, which was closely guarded by the surrounding guards, sat a beautiful alien woman.
She looked a little tired because of the fatigue of the journey day and night, but she still sat in the carriage with her back straight.
"County Lord, we're about to arrive in Youzhou City," a guard outside the carriage reminded the woman in a low voice.
"Well, according to the plan, take the initiative to reveal your identity to the guards of Youzhou." The woman known as the county lord commanded.
"Yes!" The Guardian commands.
In the early morning, the sun had just risen, the fog floating in the air had not yet dispersed, the forest was silent, the birds were still resting in the treetops, a team of people and horses rushed by the road, disturbing the birds resting in the trees, from time to time the birds were awakened and flew up, and the forest suddenly became a little noisy.
In the barracks, the soldiers had already begun a day's drills.
Tang Xiaotang didn't sleep well last night, and when he heard the footsteps of the soldiers outside starting to drill early this morning, he got dressed and got up. Qian Yingying and Xiaocui were still asleep, completely unaffected by the movement outside. Tang Xiaotang planned to go out to have a look first, so as not to wake them up.
Standing in the morning light after getting out of the tent, Tang Xiaotang unconsciously stretched his waist and stretched out the muscles and bones that he had slept all night, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed and sober.
"Brother Tang, why did you get up so early" Xu Qingfeng happily walked up to Tang Xiaotang and said hello.
He also has the habit of waking up early every day, and he feels that he is getting older, and he is feeling less. His apprentices will not get up if they don't sleep until they eat every day, because they are doctors in the medical clinic, so they don't need to come out to practice, Xu Qingfeng didn't ask the apprentices and these young people to get up early, but he didn't expect Tang Xiaotang to consciously get up so early on the first day he came to the barracks, this hard-working young man, he liked it very much.
"Doctor Xu, you're early." Tang Xiaotang greeted Xu Qingfeng with a smile.
This kind little old man is kind and kind, although he has only known him for a day, Tang Xiaotang respects him very much and is willing to be close to this old man.
"Hehehe, young people feel a lot, I didn't expect you to get up so early, were you woken up? How did you sleep last night? Coming here to adapt? Xu Qingfeng said kindly.
"Fortunately, we have been sleeping outside for a long time, and we are used to it, and last night was the first day to sleep in the tent, and we got used to it after two days." Tang Xiaotang told the truth, the girls have been out together for a long time, from south to north along the way, they are tired of traveling and driving, often sleeping in the open air, and their body bones are not so expensive, and they are no longer the weak girls they were before.
"Hehehe, that's good, it's a good thing for young people to suffer a little bit and get tired when they are young, and they will benefit a lot in the future."
Xu Qingfeng admired Tang Xiaotang's perseverance in enduring hardships, and couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him differently.
Yesterday, he fell in love with Qian Yingying's medical skills and human qualities, so he tried his best to keep them to serve in the army and be a companion for himself, but he didn't notice Tang Xiaotang at that time, but he felt that this young man's personality was not as lively and talkative as Brother Qian.
"I'm going to check the general's pulse now, so you can go with me with the medicine box."
Early this morning, Xu Qingfeng was going to check the general's pulse and see the general's physical condition, this was his routine, and he didn't plan to take the young man with him. didn't expect Tang Xiaotang to get up so early, so he decided to take Tang Xiaotang to check the general's pulse today, so that this young man could learn something from him.
As he spoke, Xu Qingfeng took off the medicine box on his shoulder and handed it to Tang Xiaotang.
When Tang Xiaotang heard that he was going to check the general's pulse, he was really afraid of something, he was still thinking about how to avoid Ma Xiaotian, and now he was named by Dr. Xu to go with him to check Ma Xiaotian's pulse.
Seeing that Xu Qingfeng had already handed over the medicine box, he was reluctant and couldn't make a decision, so he took the medicine box slowly, carried it on his back, nodded to Xu Qingfeng and said, "Okay, Doctor Xu, let's go." ”
"After a while, you just follow me, first see how I diagnose the pulse, I just have a simple consultation today, it doesn't need to be too complicated." Dr. Xu gently explained to Tang Xiaotang the work he was going to do in a while, and felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be a little nervous when he heard that he was going to consult the general, afraid that he had not made it clear to him just now and scared the child. So he explained it to him and told him not to be so nervous.
"Yes, I know, Doctor Xu" Tang Xiaotang nodded yes, silently following behind Xu Qingfeng, thinking about the general's tent.
