Chapter 12 Do You Want to Resist the Decree?
He was so tall, with broad shoulders, a straight back, and the blade of the knife at his waist reflecting the cold light, he stood quietly in the snow-covered yard, like a pine that never falls.
Hua Qingxue looked stunned, she looked at Fu Tingye in front of her in a daze, and forgot her words for a while.
Hua Qingxue felt that at this moment, at least at this moment, he undoubtedly made her heart pound.
Although she didn't even see his appearance clearly, it was only at this dawn, under the dizziness of a low-grade fever, that she was deeply attracted by his star-like eyes, although, it was only for a moment.
There were five or six black-clothed people standing behind Fu Tingye, and the small courtyard seemed narrower and narrower.
Fu Tingye saw Hua Qingxue open the door and said, "Where is Your Highness?" Now that the city gate is lost, we have a quarter of an hour to leave the city, and I ask Miss Hua to ask Her Highness to come out as soon as possible. ”
When Hua Qingxue heard this, she was happy and anxious in her heart, happy that Li Jingnan was finally saved, and anxious that Li Jingnan was having a high fever, and walking on the road in the cold wind would aggravate her condition! - In such a place, it is very easy to lose your life due to high heat!
He ...... He was sick last night......"
Fu Tingye frowned, strode into the house, and saw Li Jingnan lying on the kang, his cheeks red from high heat, and he roared immediately: "How do you take care of Your Highness?!" ”
Hua Qingxue stumbled under her feet, angry, anxious and aggrieved in her heart, and wanted to say a few words, but she felt extremely powerless.
What can she do? In such an era, the other party is a high-ranking general, she is a civilian, and she is a mentally handicapped woman, don't say a few words of reprimand, even kill her immediately, what can she do?
Hua Qingxue had no intention of arguing about anything, Li Jingnan was sick, she felt extremely uncomfortable, and when she heard Fu Tingye's reprimand at this moment, she just bit her lip and didn't say anything.
A black-clothed man beside Fu Tingye seemed to know some medical science, took Li Jingnan's pulse, and said, "General, Your Highness's current physical condition, if you get cold on the road again, I'm afraid ...... Inappropriate ......"
Fu Tingye's purpose in coming here was to rescue Li Jingnan, and at this moment, he finally got a good opportunity, how could he not be anxious?
The prince of the country naturally wanted to be rescued as soon as possible, but who expected Li Jingnan to fall ill at this time!
"Why don't I know? But there was a sudden riot in the city, and the loss of the city gate was a great opportunity for us, and it was too late for the Liao soldiers to come back, not to mention, after this riot, the checkpoint check would only be stricter, and the original plan to go out of the city in the name of a caravan was no longer working, and it was not suitable to stay here for a long time......"
Hua Qingxue listened to it on the side, and her heart tightened!
Yes, if you don't leave at this time, it will be even more difficult to leave again!
She could almost imagine how fierce and bloody the Liao soldiers' counterattack would be, and at that time, in the name of exterminating the thieves, she could defend this town so that not even a bird could fly out!
"General." Hua Qingxue suddenly spoke, "Wrap Your Highness in a quilt, and then cover your cloak to block the cold wind, maybe you can give it a try." ”
The people in the room were silent.
Who dares to "test" the life of the prince?
But this is indeed their last chance, and if they don't rescue His Highness, I'm afraid they can only drive a large army to the city to fight.
"Tang Hu, bring the rope." Fu Tingye gave an order and no longer hesitated.
"Yes!"
Hua Qingxue helped Li Jingnan sit up, fed him a small half bowl of hot water to moisten his throat, draped the quilt on the bed, and handed it to the black-clothed soldier named Tang Hu, and then watched them tie the quilt to Fu Tingye's back together, and finally pressed a thick black cloak.
Li Jingnan was tightly wrapped up and down, only his mouth and nose were exposed, Hua Qingxue looked at it, her eyes were hot, and her voice was a little choked: "...... Let's go. ”
Fu Tingye's steps paused.
His style of acting has always been as decisive and crisp as a thunderbolt, but he has frequently become mother-in-law and mother-in-law because of this woman, which is really incomprehensible.
It's just that rescuing His Highness is the only purpose of his trip, and he can't lose a big one because of a small one, so he said in a deep voice: "When we place His Highness properly, we will send someone to save the girl, Miss Hua take care." ”
Hua Qingxue smiled reluctantly. In such a turbulent place, even if they come to the rescue, they don't know how long it will take, and whether she can survive to that day is still unknown.
And he doesn't know how to ride a horse himself...... Speaking of which, even if you can ride a horse, this weak body is not able to gallop fast day and night......
They want to save Li Jingnan, how can they drag their feet?
"The general has given me enough food, don't worry, if Your Highness wakes up, please tell him that everything is fine with me."
"So, farewell."
Without delaying for half a minute, Fu Tingye took Li Jingnan and a team of people and disappeared into this uninhabited back alley......
……
They barely slept except for the horses, which had to be fed and watered.
And so it was a day of marching, and it was already dusk.
In winter, the daylight hours are short, and although it is dusk, it is actually not much different from nightfall.
The sky was dark and cloudy, Qin Lao Wu said: "General, look at the sky and there is rain tonight, we must find a place to shelter from the rain before the rain." ”
It is already a big adventure to take the sick Li Jingnan to gallop quickly, and if you have to rain overnight, it will be a disregard for the life of the royal family.
Tang Hu looked at the sky and sighed, "If it doesn't rain, we can go to the camp of the water after another night." ”
- The Wet Water Camp is their garrison camp. It was also the forefront of the defense line against the Liao.
Fu Tingye looked at the rolling rain clouds in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Find a place to rest first." ”
Eventually, they found an abandoned four-legged hut.
Such huts are often found near melon fields or farmland, and after the war spreads here, the villagers here either flee or relocate, and all of them are abandoned.
They untied Li Jingnan from his back, led the horse over and surrounded the grass hut to shield him from the cold wind, and then poured some water from the water bladder and dripped it on Li Jingnan's chapped lips.
At present, it is not suitable to make a fire to boil hot water, and the cold water in this water bladder can only moisten the lips, and I dare not feed it at all.
After a while, it began to rain in the sky.
At this time, Li Jingnan's consciousness recovered slightly. He opened his eyelids with difficulty and asked, "...... What about Hua Qingxue? ”
Fu Tingye's face sank.
Qin Lao Wu glanced at Fu Tingye, then at Li Jingnan, and said carefully: "Your Highness, our trip is in a hurry, Hua Niangzi is delicate and frail, so we didn't bring it, and when His Highness is properly settled, we will send someone back to rescue Hua Niangzi." ”
Li Jingnan only felt that the whole person was extremely dazed, and he could listen to a lot, but he only knew that Hua Qingxue was not there, so he said: "General Fu, you go, go and take care of it...... Hua Qingxue brought it out. ”
Fu Tingye only thought that Li Jingnan was sick and confused, and replied: "Your Highness is seriously ill, please also ask Your Highness to take yourself first, the most important thing at the moment is to leave the territory of the Liao people as soon as possible, and then find a doctor to treat Your Highness, Miss Hua will not be in danger for the time being, please rest assured." ”
When Li Jingnan heard this, he was so angry that he coughed violently!
"Ahem! Ahem, ahem! …… Fu Tingye! You! …… cough cough cough cough ......"
You fart! How can there be no danger in staying in that kind of place! Are you fooling me when I'm a child?
Li Jingnan coughed and panted, and all the black-clothed people around him knelt down on one knee, and said one after another: "Your Highness is angry." ”
Fu Tingye didn't kneel, but he also bent over and said, "Your Highness is angry." ”
Li Jingnan felt extremely powerless, these soldiers didn't take him seriously at all.
The general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and his father has also mentioned that the more soldiers who can fight, the more they will not take the imperial power in their eyes, which is also the reason why his father has always suppressed the generals.
My father can't do good things, but when he becomes the emperor in the future, will he be able to do a good job? ……
Fu Tingye didn't think about it so much, it wasn't that he didn't want to save Hua Qingxue, but this time his purpose was to save the prince, if he saved Hua Qingxue, it would inevitably delay the rescue of the prince, and it was inevitable to leave Hua Qingxue behind.
The emperor's time is running out, the only prince is in the hands of the Liao, he must bring people out as soon as possible, how can he lose a big for a woman?
When his soldiers step on enemy traps, he can cut off the soldiers' feet without blinking, and decisiveness has become part of his character.
Li Jingnan is not him, even if he has been educated by the emperor since he was a child, he is only eight years old, and he can't be Fu Tingye's calm and rational.
Li Jingnan finally calmed his breath and said word by word: "Fu Tingye, I, as the crown prince of Great Qi...... Command you! Go and bring Hua Qingxue to me! …… Are you trying to resist the decree?! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.
Fu Tingye frowned.
Fu Tingye hates this kind of ignorant child, but this child is above 10,000 people under one person, if nothing else, this child will become the emperor of Daqi in the future.
To offend him is tantamount to seeking his own death.
No matter how much you don't like it, you can't escape the loyal education in your bones. Fu Tingye hugged his fists and replied, "Weichen doesn't dare." I also hope that His Royal Highness will take care of his health. ”
Qin Lao Wu stared at Fu Tingye with a pair of eyes, and those eyes seemed to say: You really want to find that woman?
Fu Tingye looked at him and said, "Protect Your Highness, leave as soon as the rain stops, don't delay." ”
"General, you ......" Qin Lao Wu actually wanted to say, it's just to save a girl, can you ask the general of a country to go out in person? The most important thing they are here is also a school captain, to save that girl, this identity is more than enough!
After thinking about it again, Li Jingnan said just now that he would let Fu Tingye go, if he let someone else go, would it also be considered a protest? He hadn't read anything, so he didn't know if that counted......
Fu Tingye had already stepped on the horse and said "protect Your Highness", and then the horse disappeared into the rain.
The reason why Fu Tingye is so simple also has his considerations.
Since you have decided to go, don't delay any longer, because the longer the time, the tighter the defense of the Liaoren checkpoint will be, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will not be easy for him to enter the city, so how can he save people?
