readx;? When the roast chicken was not so hot, Gu Qingming tore off the part that was not burned, handed it to Yun Yao's hand, and said, "In the wilderness, let's just have some, and when we find our way out, we can eat something good." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yun Yao didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the burnt roast chicken, she took the roast chicken and took a bite gently, it was light and tasteless, but she felt it was very delicious.
"It's the best I've ever eaten besides my mother's cooking. Yun Yao smiled lightly and spoke.
Gu Qingming chuckled, took the part of the burnt paste, and ate it himself, the two of them looked at each other in this deserted cave, occasionally smiled, and their hearts were connected, the picture was so beautiful.
After the two solved the problem of food and clothing, it was already dark, and there were more trees in the valley to cover the sky, which was already darker than outside, so they didn't go out, just stayed in the cave to talk and keep warm.
"General, can you tell me, why did you assassinate the Empress Dowager who sent her to the feudal country?" Yun Yao asked, "Is the emperor planning to cooperate with one of the feudal countries and join forces?"
"You're as smart as ever. Gu Qingming said, "Yes, that's exactly the case." The Queen Mother has been in charge of Daning for many years, and since the emperor ascended the throne, she has constantly interfered in court politics, and the power of her relatives has reached an immeasurable level. The emperor did not want to let the Shen family, which the first emperor had worked so hard to fight, fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames, so he had to make this decision. β
"You chose Yiguo?" Yun Yao asked again, "When I was in the palace, I heard Aunt Su Xin talk a lot about the past, Yiwang Shen Che is a person who is not inferior to the current emperor, he was originally the most promising to ascend the throne as the emperor, and it was the queen mother who preemptively drove him and his biological mother Jiang Meiren to Yiguo?"
"The emperor and His Royal Highness King Yi grew up together since childhood, and the brotherly relationship is very good, and the reason why King Yi has been safe for so long is also because the person who ascended the throne is the current emperor. Gu Qingming said, "Before you entered the inner palace, the queen mother interfered too much in the government affairs, and the emperor hoped that King Yi could help him destroy the power of his relatives and help the Shen family, but King Yi refused." β
"Why?" Yun Yao was puzzled.
"It's not time yet. Gu Qingming said, "Because at that time, the North Di came to attack, the South Yi was ready to move, and there were rampant bandits in the border areas of the feudal countries. β
"But your intelligence is wrong, and you assassinated the wrong person. After Yun Yao listened to Gu Qingming's words, she said, "The Queen Mother is just to prevent someone from doing anything, so the order is disrupted, I didn't go to Yiguo, originally after crossing King Kong Mountain, we were going to change the official road and go to Haoguo." At the beginning, I walked in the direction of Yiguo, but it was just a cover-up. β
"What?" Gu Qingming's face suddenly changed greatly, "I must quickly inform the emperor and ask him to send another person to intercept the people and horses going to Yiguo, and replace them as soon as possible while they are still on the way." β
"No need, do you know who is going to Yiguo?" Yun Yao stopped, "It's Yingquan, she...... will not be willing to be at the mercy of the Queen Mother. Moreover, the news of the assassination of our people may have reached the ears of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother must now be suspicious of Yiguo, and if she attacks Yingquan and them again, it will only expose His Royal Highness King Yiwang more deeply. β
Gu Qingming looked at Yun Yao and couldn't help but be impressed when he saw that even in such an environment, she could still have a clear mind and an orderly mind.
Yun Yao's face was still a little pale, after all, the injury was still there, but her resolute gaze was so calm and determined, unfazed, as if nothing could hinder her.
"You're right. Gu Qingming nodded, "In the eyes of others, you are going to Yiguo, and now that something happens, the Queen Mother will definitely set her sights on Yiguo, which is equivalent to being exposed, and the road ahead will only become more and more difficult." β
"Then what is the general going to do next?" Yun Yao asked, "The time we are recuperating in this valley, the others must have already arrived at their destination, and the Queen Mother will definitely send someone else to Haoguo." β
"Don't worry, Achen will find it. Gu Qingming said, "When the time comes, we can spread the news." β
Hearing this, Yun Yao nodded, then yawned, touched the wound on her body, and frowned with a burst of tearing pain.
"It's getting late, you lie down and rest. Gu Qingming said again, "I'm here to guard, don't worry, sleep in peace." β
While speaking, Gu Qingming helped Yun Yao to lie down again, there was no quilt that could keep out the cold, so he tied the straw next to him into a whole sheet and covered Yun Yao's body, at least to block a little cold.
Gu Qingming burned the fire next to the stone bed more vigorously, making Yun Yao even warmer.
"There's no one here, General, and you can rest. After Yun Yao lay down, she closed her eyes, then opened them again, and said.
"It's okay, I'll squint a little bit when you're asleep. When I was marching and fighting, I also had a few days and nights of disappointment, which was nothing to me. Gu Qingming said, stretching out his hand and stroking Yun Yao's hair, gentle and delicate, as if he was treating a rare treasure.
Yun Yao was probably too tired, she fell asleep after a while, and her breathing began to be even, she slept very comfortably and easily, even if this was a wilderness, even if she was still injured, but because she was by Gu Qingming's side, she was extremely relieved.
Gu Qingming looked at Yun Yao's sleeping face, all kinds of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, he knew that Yun Yao didn't like the kind of deceitful days in the palace, and he was tired of calculating life all the time. He really wanted to leave everything behind and take Yun Yao out of this place of right and wrong when everyone thought she was dead.
However, he can't, Yun Yao can go, but he can't, he has more important things to do.
The night in the valley seemed to be longer, and when it was dawn, Yun Yao seemed to feel that she had slept for a long time, and she had the illusion of sleeping until she was old.
However, when she opened her eyes and saw that Gu Qingming was still by her side, she leaned on the edge of the stone bed and fell asleep, the corners of her mouth involuntarily showed a smile, and her heart was full of satisfaction.
She is grateful for this misunderstanding and for falling off the cliff, so that she can feel such a moment of quiet time in the turmoil of mundane things that she can't help herself.
Yun Yao only hopes that these days will be longer, and she and Gu Qingming can be alone for one more day, which is the greatest happiness for her.
Thinking of this, Yun Yao struggled to get up from the stone bed, looked at Gu Qingming's bandaged leg, and couldn't help but smile, although Gu Qingming marched and fought and was good at bandaging his wounds, but the injury of a broken leg is different from a knife and gun injury after all, if it is not dealt with well, it is likely to fall into an old disease, and it will be uncomfortable in rainy weather.
With a sigh, Yun Yao quietly got out of bed and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Her injuries were not serious, after a night's rest, coupled with the herbs that Gu Qingming gave her yesterday, she already felt less painful, so she was able to move.
When she came outside, she carefully looked at the surrounding environment, such a valley is generally more lush with vegetation, so there are relatively more herbs that can be used, although Gu Qingming can simply deal with injuries, but after all, she does not understand pharmacology and medical science, so she plans to get some herbs that can be used nearby.
I have to say that this valley is really a treasure of feng shui, and there are many useful herbs everywhere in the surrounding grassy places, some can help her treat her injuries, some can treat Gu Qingming's leg injuries, and some herbs that are beneficial and harmless to people's bodies, take them back and cook them to eat, and it is also very good to use them to satisfy your stomach.
Yun Yao excitedly picked around, and even slowly approached the river, she came to the river, saw Qingling drinking water, and then walked over, re-got the herbs, and changed the dressing for her wound, before holding a large number of herbs and walking back.
Her injury is a little below the heart, it is a very ambiguous position, when she changes her own dressing, she has to look again and again, and only after making sure that there is no one around does she dare to untie her clothes. But when she remembered that Gu Qingming had changed her dressing and bandaged herself, a heat suddenly rose on her face, and a suspicious flush emerged.
When Gu Qingming woke up, he subconsciously looked towards the stone bed, but he didn't see Yun Yao, his heart tightened, worried that something had happened to Yun Yao, so he immediately got up, grabbed his long sword, and ran towards the outside of the cave.
He didn't care about his leg injury, he ran fast, he was afraid that something would happen to Yun Yao, he was always worried, and he shouted in his mouth: "Little girl, where are you-"
Yun Yao, who was walking back, seemed to hear Gu Qingming calling herself, so she walked towards the source of the sound, she had injuries on her body and couldn't walk fast, so it took a while to see Gu Qingming who was looking around anxiously.
"Generalβ" Yun Yao shouted, causing Gu Qingming to turn back sharply, and then ran towards her.
Gu Qingming ran to Yun Yao's face, put his hands on her shoulders, and looked up and down, the worry in his eyes overflowing.
Seeing that Yun Yao didn't have anything to do, he was relieved, threw the long sword, hugged Yun Yao tightly, hugged him tightly in his arms, and murmured: "I didn't see you when I woke up, I was very scared, worried that you would be taken away by the beasts that infested outside, worried that you would be taken away by the Queen Mother's people, worried about ......"
"I'm fine. Yun Yao was both guilty and happy, "I'm sorry, General, for worrying you." β
After a long time, Gu Qingming let go of Yun Yao and asked, "Where have you been?"
"The valley is full of vegetation, and I want to come out to see if there are any herbs that can be used to treat your leg injury. Yun Yao said, shaking the herbs in his hand and smiling, "General, look, I have found a lot! There are many more in the forest by the river, with these medicines, your leg injury can also heal faster." β
"Little girl, promise me, no matter where you go, you must tell me, let me go with you, don't go out alone. You still have injuries on your body, and it's dangerous outside. Gu Qingming saw the herbs in Yun Yao's hand, sighed helplessly, and said so.
"Well, good. Yun Yao nodded slightly, her cheeks flushed.
