It's like a drowning person suddenly comes to the surface and breathes fresh air.

Zhao Sichen woke up suddenly, and the feeling of suffocation came overwhelmingly-

She let out a shout, sat up from the couch, and gasped for air.

There was a maid guarding on the side, and when she saw Zhao Sichen wake up, she hurriedly stepped forward: "Miss Zhao! ”

Zhao Sichen's face was covered with sweat and looked over in a daze.

The maid was very eye-catching, so she hurriedly brought the oil lamp closer, turned on the oil lamp, and said to Zhao Sichen softly: "Miss Zhao, I am Sun Gongzi's personal maid, and he asked me to serve you here." ”

Zhao Sichen's eyes were straight and he didn't come back to his senses.

The maid put the oil lamp in front of her, poured out a cup of water in the teapot, handed it to Zhao Sichen, and said, "Miss Zhao, you drink a glass of water first." ”

Zhao Sichen took the water in a daze, lowered his head and took a sip.

With a glass of warm water, Zhao Sichen calmed down a little and asked softly, "What time is it?" ”

The maid said, "It's already night—Miss Zhao, you've been asleep all day." ”

"General Wei, have you found it?"

Zhao Sichen spit out this sentence with difficulty.

The maid shook her head and said, "Not yet." ”

She looked at Zhao Sichen, a little worried, and comforted: "Miss Zhao, you don't have to worry, many people in the barracks have gone out to look for General Wei Xiao, and they will definitely be able to find it." ”

Zhao Sichen didn't speak, lowered his head slightly, half-closed his eyes, and didn't know if he listened.

The maid said, "Miss Zhao, you are covered in dirt - there is water behind the curtain, I will serve you to clean it." ”

Zhao Sichen moved his eyes and swept towards himself-

The stains on his face and arms were washed off, and his body was still very dirty, with blood clots and mud.

Zhao Sichen nodded: "There is Sister Lao." I'll just wash myself up. ”

The maid nodded and said, "Then I'll go and bring you some food, and call me when you're done." ”

Zhao Sichen stepped on his shoes and turned behind the curtain.

Sure enough, there was a tub behind the curtain.

The tub is not large, and warm water is placed in it.

Zhao Sichen took off his clothes and soaked himself in warm water.

She buried her head in the water.

The face was warm, and there was water running through it, and I didn't know if it was water or tears.

After a long time, Zhao Sichen poked his head out of the water.

His face returned to his usual calm and self-control.

She used her fingers as a comb and brushed her hair over and over again.

His hair was stained with wolf blood and knotted in strands.

When soaked in warm water, the blood clot melts, and the clean warm water in the tub gradually becomes cloudy.

It took three times as much effort on weekdays for Zhao Sichen to finish washing.

She got dressed and walked around the curtain.

The maid carried a large plate and placed it beside the low couch.

On top of the plate are large chunks of beef, large bowls of rice.

Zhao Sichen didn't squirm, sat on the low couch, picked up chopsticks, and ate in a big gulp.

The maid squatted behind Zhao Sichen and took a clean cloth towel to help her dry her hair.

While eating, Zhao Sichen instructed vaguely: "Don't pull your hair into a bun, help me comb it into braids." ”

Braids facilitate movement.

The maid did not doubt him, and helped Zhao Sichen tie two braids, and tied them into a double bun on the top of his head, which was strong and good-looking.

Zhao Sichen was eating, and Sun Guanyu's voice sounded outside the military tent door: "Miss Zhao, Sun came to see you." ”

"Come in." Zhao Sichen raised his voice and said: "When you go out, you don't pay so much attention to it. ”

Sun Guanyu opened the curtain of the military tent and walked in, waved his hand at Zhao Sichen, and explained: "I was in a hurry in the morning, and I offended Miss Zhao, so I ask Miss Zhao for forgiveness." ”

"It's okay," Zhao Sichen disagreed: "Boss Sun is also kind, I can understand." ”

Zhao Sichen even split his life to take care of Sun Guanyu: "The mutton in the north really lives up to its reputation, Boss Sun uses a little together?" ”

Sun Guanyu waved his hand, refused, and said, "Boss Sun, General Pu suggested that we live in Beicheng. Everything in the barracks is rudimentary, supplies are scarce, and it is not convenient to ask for anything.

Coupled with the fact that he is busy in the barracks now, he may not be able to take care of it-"

As soon as possible, Zhao Sichen had an idea in his heart, but he couldn't help but ask again: "Is there any news of General Wei Xiao?" ”

Sun Guanyu sighed, shook his head, and said, "General Pu has already written a letter by hand, ordering someone to send it to Daqing City quickly——"

Looking at General Pu's attitude, General Wei Xiao is probably more than lucky.

Halfway through speaking, Sun Guanyu hurriedly came back: "The soldiers of the Northland military camp are still searching, and General Pu has also agreed, if there is any news, he will notify us as soon as possible——"

Sun Guanyu said as he looked at Zhao Sichen's face.

Zhao Sichen's face was faint, and he couldn't see any special emotions, but instead raised his head and finished a bowl of mutton soup.

Sun Guanyu continued: "We just arrived at the Northland military camp, and many goods have not been unloaded, so it is easier to leave now.

I've asked my men to pack up and leave early tomorrow morning.

An hour's walk from the barracks will take you to the North City.

General Pu will send someone to Beicheng with us, and he will also ask the Beicheng county guard to take more care of us.

Don't worry, I've already asked someone to charter the biggest inn in the North City—"

Zhao Sichen interrupted Sun Guanyu's words: "Boss Sun, thoughtful, I have something to worry about." ”

Zhao Sichen said, raised his head, and smiled at Sun Guanyu.

Sun Guanyu did not smile, but frowned, with worry in his eyes.

Zhao Sichen is like a girl he admires, and now she has suffered a big change, not only did she not cry sadly, but she also laughed-

Sun Guanyu was even more worried.

Zhao Sichen stood up and hugged Sun Guanyu with apologies: "Boss Sun, please take my goods to Beicheng together."

I have something to do, I need to leave for a few days, and in a few days, I will come back to you. ”

Only then did Sun Guanyu find that Zhao Sichen was dressed in a strong suit, as if he was going somewhere.

Sun Guanyu frowned: "What are you in a hurry about, you can't delay even a day?" ”

"Yes, not a single day!" Zhao Sichen said it categorically.

Sun Guanyu asked, "How many days do you need to leave?" ”

Zhao Sichen smiled and said, "There are as few as three or five days, and as many as ten and a half months." ”

Sun Guanyu hurriedly asked, "The market after seven days?" ”

"I don't necessarily make it. I can only work hard for Boss Sun. ”

"You and I go all the way, the interests are related, and there is no need to say that it is hard."

Sun Guanyu thought for a moment and asked again, "Where are you going?" I'll divide half of the Sun family's guards with you—"

Zhao Sichen smiled and declined: "I don't know where I'm going." I don't need guards, I have the ability to protect myself. ”

Sun Guanyu couldn't, so he had to hug his fist at Zhao Sichen: "Miss Zhao, be careful." ”

"Naturally," Zhao Sichen nodded.

Not long after Sun Guanyu left, Zhao Sichen simply cleaned up, brought clean water and dry food, carried a few pieces of broken silver, and followed out of the military tent.

Sun Guanyu was thoughtful, and had already prepared a horse at the door of the military tent, with a bow and arrow hanging from the side of the horse.

Zhao Sichen was not polite, turned over and got on the horse, and walked out neatly.

Walking to the gate of the barracks and seeing the soldiers looking at her, Zhao Sichen raised his head and said with a smile: "If General Pu asks, please help me talk to him."

Don't look for me, anyway - I don't matter. ”

After that, Zhao Sichen grabbed the horse's belly and rushed out neatly.

Regardless of whether the Northland military camp could find Wei Qianlang or not, she had to go by herself.

When Zhao Sichen arrived at the canyon, it was already late at night.

There is also a squad of soldiers in the canyon who are burning wolf corpses to clean up the mess.

Clusters of bonfires illuminated the canyon brightly.

Zhao Sichen got off his horse, walked to the small head of this group of soldiers, clasped his fists and saluted, and asked, "This big brother, how is the situation of searching for General Wei Xiao?" ”

The little leader hurriedly stood up.

He did know Zhao Sichen, and knew that this was General Wei Xiao's friend, so he was busy and apologized for returning the gift, and shook his head with some regret, and said, "Miss Zhao, I didn't find General Wei Xiao." ”

Zhao Sichen asked, "Have you found any other traces, such as the carcasses of horses, or traces of horses escaping?" ”

The little leader pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say......"

Zhao Sichen hurriedly took out a piece of silver and stuffed it to the little leader: "This big brother, you can say that it's okay, whether it's right or wrong, I want to hear it." ”

The little leader took the silver, approached Zhao Sichen, and whispered: "When we were searching the mountains and forests, we found a trail of horseshoe footprints, heading north——"

Zhao Sichen hurriedly asked, "Have you followed?" ”

"Why not!" The little leader hurriedly said: "We tried our best to search for General Wei Xiao, so naturally we followed, but if we go further north, we will go out of Beiling Pass." We are not familiar with the situation outside the customs.

Plus, halfway through it, the footprints are gone, so we can't keep going......"

Zhao Sichen didn't speak, thinking quietly.

The little leader hurriedly said: "General Pu has already sent people to several familiar tribes to find people for questioning.

If there is news of General Wei Xiao, it will be transmitted soon.

Miss Zhao will wait patiently for a few more days. ”

Zhao Sichen shook his head slightly: "I can't wait." ”

Not to mention a few days, even if it was a few hours, she couldn't wait.

Perhaps Wei Qianlang was injured and was waiting for rescue somewhere.

I was worried that he would lack food and clothing, and he didn't know if he had enough water.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sichen saluted the soldiers in front of him: "Thank you, big brother, please show me the direction, and I will also look for it." ”

"Alas, you little girl......" the little leader was anxious: "The night is cold to the bone, and there are wild wolves scattered everywhere. You are not afraid of encountering wild birds and beasts......

Even if you really want to help find someone, wait until dawn to talk about it......"

Zhao Sichen smiled: "Thank you for your concern, I will try my best to protect myself." ”

Zhao Sichen tightened the package on his body, jumped on the horse, and drove the horse towards the outside of the canyon.

The cold stars in the sky are twinkling, and the ground is flat.

She was alone, with a lonely courage and a courage.
