When the girls in Beijing asked about the situation in Shazhou......

Shazhou. []

Zhenxi Army Battalion.

In the surging snowstorm, Guo Qingwu carefully opened the curtain of the tent, and immediately heard a suppressed cough.

He couldn't help frowning, quickly turned around to cover the door, and strode behind the screen - Mr. Leshan, who had always been indifferent and reserved, was lying in the brocade tent with a pale face, and the scholar in front of the serving couch was holding a bowl of medicine, blowing carefully.

"I'll serve the gentleman!" Guo Qingwu stepped forward and said to him.

Mr. Leshan's illness was very abrupt.

Since he arrived at the camp, he has basically stayed in the tent, so to speak, without leaving the house. Occasionally, I went out of the tent, that is, I went to the tent of Shuai and the tent of the young man, and these tents were full of charcoal fire day and night, warm as spring - when I went out, fox fur and mink hats were all available, and I could not go back and forth a few steps within sight.

It is said that such treatment will not freeze at all. You must know that the soldiers who stand guard in the army are far inferior to him in terms of food, shelter and clothing, and few of them fall ill.

However, the icy and snowy climate of Western Xinjiang is indeed not suitable for living, especially although Mr. Leshan is resourceful, but in terms of physique, he is just a scholar who has no power to restrain chickens.

…… He has been lying down for three days since he fell ill on the couch. In the past three days, Guo Shihan invited the best doctor in Shazhou City and took out a batch of valuable medicinal materials that he treasured, which can be said to be his best. It's just that Mr. Leshan has never been cured, not to mention, and now he looks even sicker.

Guo Qingwu was really worried in his heart.

Hearing his request, the scholar glanced at Mr. Leshan, and when he saw that the master did not agree but did not refuse, he handed out the medicine bowl without saying a word, and got up to avoid it.

"Sir's cough seems to be worse today than yesterday?" After serving Mr. Leshan with his own hands, he finished drinking the medicine, and watched his face regain a hint of ruddyness, but Qingwu's frowning brows could not be released, "In the barracks, it is really not a place to recuperate. ”

He groaned, and finally said the suggestion, "Sir, why don't I send you to the Shazhou City Mansion to recuperate, how about it?" ”

Although it is said that both he and Mr. Leshan enjoy the best conditions in the camp of the Zhenxi Army, and some things are better than those used by Shi Han himself. But a barracks is a barracks, and it is impossible to be as comfortable and livable as housing.

Mr. Leshan has not been sick before, but he basically went down with a pill and got better soon.

This time, there was a sign of sinking, and Guo Qingwu felt that it was all because of the lack of a good environment.

"Going to Shazhou City will really make me feel better." Mr. Leshan looked weak, and his hoarse voice was full of exhaustion, "But you can't go, the army can't enter the city, and if you only bring guards, it's too dangerous for you!" ”

Guo Qingwu's heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "Sir, I can go quietly and dress up as a guard - anyway, in this season, which person outside is not tightly wrapped?" Who can recognize me? ”

"Then I'm not going." Mr. Leshan's way of persuading Guo Qingwu is always so simple and rude, and the effect is often surprisingly good - a lot of rhetoric prepared by Guo Qingwu was blocked by him, and he was speechless for a long time before he had no choice but to compromise: "Then I'll go and prepare guards for Mr." ”

"Don't be too elite, and don't have too many people." Mr. Leshan instructed lightly, "That will invite disaster for me, and it will also damage the manpower that your father has cultivated with great difficulty...... Just arrange a few soldiers to take the luggage for my scholar and coachman. I'm a scholar, and no one cares about me. ”

Guo Qingwu knew his temper and smiled reluctantly: "...... Be! ”

After leaving the account, he went to Lao Zheng - Lao Zheng was the person he could talk about most freely, so he naturally said bluntly: "Mr. doesn't want me to be in danger, but if he doesn't go into the city because of his illness, I'm afraid it won't be good...... After all, Mr. is also a little old. I'm going to send my own personal escort, but I'm afraid my husband won't like it. ”

Lao Zheng groaned: "Shizi, Mr.'s words are very reasonable, if it is just an ordinary soldier escort, others will think that it is not an important person, but will not embarrass Mr.; If it is your personal escort, then everyone knows that it must be the person you value very much, then those thieves, I'm afraid they will choose Mr. as the target! ”

He knew Guo Qingwu's feelings and dependence on Mr. Leshan, so he didn't say some things: Guo Shihan was forced by his son to divide some of his henchmen to hunt down Qiu Jinglan, but Xiao Shashan fought a battle, although he killed Qiu Jinglan's subordinates and the dead soldiers of the Jiang family, but in the end let Qiu Jinglan escape.

Qiu Jinglan didn't die for a day, and the part of the people sent out was hung for a day, which naturally reduced the number of people who could be used in Shi Shihan's hands.

These days, the Jiang family and Qiu Jinglan's subordinates are constantly tandem to provoke the Ruan and Qiu old departments in the Zhenxi Army, although Shi Han has long been prepared for this hand, but he can't take it lightly.

The current situation is that Shi Shihan has to monitor and guard against this part of his subordinates, and he has to collect evidence so that he can settle the general account in the future - manpower is already stretched, if enough elites are assigned to send Mr. Leshan to Shazhou City to recuperate, but he really can't take care of it!

Therefore, Lao Zheng felt that if Mr. Leshan really wanted to go to Shazhou City to recuperate, it would really be difficult to send him too many people.

Guo Qingwu hesitated a little: "When Mr. Leshan came to Shazhou, that person was very polite to Mr. It's no secret. ”

"That was years ago, how many people remember it now?" Lao Zheng persuaded, "And if you don't send a few people to deliver it now, others will think that although the master valued Mr. very much back then, it was nothing more than that at the critical moment...... After all, if Mr. Shizi does what Mr. does, Mr. may or may not have an accident, but if he doesn't do what Mr. says, Mr. will inevitably attract the attention of all parties, and at that time...... Without the protection of a large army, it is not something that one or two elite teams can maintain! ”

Seeing that Qingwu was still frowning, Lao Zheng offered a killer idea, "This is also what Mr. himself meant, do you want to make Mr. unhappy?" ”

"Then do as the gentleman wants!" Guo Qingwu was most afraid of offending Mr. Leshan, so he hesitated for a long time and sighed.

It's just that he didn't know that in the carriage that hesitated in the snow and headed for Shazhou City after a while, Mr. Leshan had no trace of sickness, and asked the scholar who was "caring" him in the carriage with blazing eyes: "Just a few people outside the car?" ”

"Just a few people outside the car." The scholar, who had been silent in front of Guo Qingwu to give people the impression of cowardice, still looked so wooden, but with his agility inversely proportional to his woodenness, he pulled out a short sword with cold light from his sleeve and asked, "The little ones are going to bear them now?" ”

"Not necessarily!" Mr. Leshan said indifferently, "Let them accompany us into the city - three or five ordinary soldiers will not be alarming if they are sent away after entering the city." This will die on the road, and if it is discovered by the scouts of the army or other people passing by, it will not be beautiful! Moreover, according to the situation of the thief, the defenders of Shazhou City and the mansion in the city must have eyeliner! If these people find that they are not seen, and tell the thief about many things, will it not be extraordinary? Now that the time has come, it is advisable to be more cautious and not to fall short! ”

The scholar immediately meekly put away the sword and returned the sheath, and said with a smile: "Listen to the master." ”

"It's inconvenient to ask too much questions in the camp, so as not to aro......use the suspicion of the thief," mentioning the father and son of the Kuang family, who respected him very much, Mr. Leshan showed a touch of disgust, and ordered the scholar in a deep voice, "After entering the city, I will immediately record the layout and arrangement of the handsome tent recorded in these days, as well as the distribution of troops under the thief and the entire estimate of him!" At that time, after you send it to the place, you will also ask them clearly-how is Childe these days?! ”

He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, his eyes were heavy, "This is the pill that Guo Qingwu gave me later, if the situation on the child's side is not good, they will send a credible and available person to send this medicine to it quickly!" ”

When Mr. Leshan instructed the scholar like this, also in Shazhou, in a mountain col hundreds of miles away, in the tent temporarily erected, two rows of butter candles were shining magnificently.

Above, the pale-faced Qiu Jinglan ignored the fact that his injuries had not healed, he was wearing armor, pressing a long sword in his hand, and his blade-like gaze swept over the first dozen people: "Everyone, haven't you thought about it today?" ”

"Childe!" More than a dozen envoys glanced at each other, and the messenger who sat on the seat of the first guest got up and replied, "It's not that our masters don't believe in the son, or cower and cowardice, but it's really a thief who is not enough to worry about, and those who are worried are in the temple!" ”

"If it is the Empress Dowager Gu, you can rest assured!" Before Qiu Jinglan could answer, the Jia Shi standing at the back of him said loudly, "Today, the emperor and grandson are on his knees, and the queen mother's regent has not returned to power so far!" It is reasonable to say that Empress Dowager Gu has violated the orders of the first emperor and is ashamed of the ancestors of the Chu family! If it weren't for the shamelessness of the thief, the grace will take revenge on General Wulie, usurp the power of the Zhenxi Army, and dedicate it to the feet of the Gu family, so that my family Guogong is a social plan, and I have to submit to the Empress Dowager Gu, and I have been with the snake tail for many years. What you have done this is a feat of the Qing monarch and stirring up the chaos of the society, how can the Lord Guogong sit back and watch you be angered by the Empress Dowager Gu?! ”

This Jiashi is naturally the person sent by the Jiang family to protect and assist Qiu Jinglan in Shazhou.

It's just that after listening to his words, the envoys of more than a dozen generals of the Zhenxi Army hesitated for a while, and they all looked at Qiu Jinglan.

"Qin Guogong is a credible person!" Qiu Jinglan said lightly, these people breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed to the armor soldier, "Don't be surprised, Commander Wang, this matter is big, if you don't ask clearly, go back to the master and ask, I can't answer, I will definitely be punished!" ”

The leader of the Jiashi King was slightly heartbroken: "These days, I have followed Qiu Jinglan, and I have met with these people a lot, and the private benefits have been continuously stuffed in the past, and they also take it, who wants to believe in the critical moment, but still only believes in Qiu Jinglan...... No wonder Guogong instructed that when we wait to assist Qiu Jinglan, it is advisable for the spring to turn into rain, and not to rely on the Jiang family to pay a lot and underestimate this person! ”

But he returned the salute quietly: "Where are you talking?" It's all as it should be. ”

At that moment, he said the promise that Qin Guogong personally taught before leaving, and the content was nothing more than to let these Ruan and Qiu old departments rest assured and boldly follow Qiu Jinglan, and emphasized the friendship between the Jiang family and Qiu Jinglan, and the marriage between Qiu Yulan and Jiang Yashuang is of course a must...... Anyway, it's just to do it, and the Jiang family will come after the aftermath!

Qiu Jinglan also helped beat the side drum from time to time, praising the generosity and righteousness of the Jiang family...... In short, the meeting began with a tense atmosphere, but ended in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Although the envoys all said that they could not make decisions on behalf of their masters, they all revealed that most of their masters would agree to the tone - of course, this tone was given, and the Jiang family also had the benefit of presenting it, after all, it was impossible for the masters of these envoys to come here in person for a meeting, and their choice was based on the messenger's relay.

The Jiang family has invested so much, of course they don't want to fall short here.

Qiu Jinglan looked at the king commander very calmly and hinted that his subordinates were rewarding the envoy in front of him - he was not in a hurry, but when he turned around, when Ruan Yi waited for him to unload his armor alone, he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "Childe! You're just looking at it?! ”()
