Chapter 498: Hurry
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the team finally stopped after another three hours, and rushed to the expected post station, just like Shen Nianyi said before, the road was muddy, affecting everyone's speed, obviously it took thirty percent more physical strength, but it was a lot less than when it was sunny.
Shen Nian immediately stepped forward and proposed to Que Yingjie to stop the horse and rest and rectify, the corners of Que Yingjie's mouth hooked a sneer, knowing that he shouldn't ask, but he didn't hold back his mouth: "Is it that Mrs. Shen's body can't withstand such a marching speed?" ”
"Captain Que, do you know what to do when these three hundred people arrive at their destination?" Shen Nianyi's tone was very light, without the embarrassment that he expected to be seen through.
"To the destination? What Shen Zhengqing means is that after arriving at the border? Captain Que said with a look in his eyes, "Of course I know, reinforcing General Ning will save the defeat in the war." ”
"You don't understand at all." Shen Nianyi's voice was not high, but it was very stern, "You are the captain, what you have to know is that when we arrive there thousands of miles away, it is likely that we will rush into battle to kill the enemy in the next moment, if we are exhausted on the way because of the hurry, then the result of the annihilation of the three hundred people is already in front of you and me." ”
Que Yingjie's face sank suddenly, because what Shen Nianyi said was the truth, he had palpitations, and the three hundred people were all wiped out, so what about him, and Shen Nianyi.
He said aggressively: "Shen Zhengqing, you probably forgot one thing, Mrs. Ling is also in the team, if the whole army is annihilated, then of course she is also included." ”
Obviously, he shouldn't be angry with the life of a woman's family, but Que Yingjie couldn't find anything to deal with for a while, he didn't want to fall behind every time he talked, that was too shameless.
Shen Nianyi didn't get angry, he laughed instead, with a very gentle smile at the corners of his mouth and eyes: "Captain Que, don't you see that Humble Jing is preparing to live and die with me this time?" ”
After saying this, he didn't look at Que Yingjie more, and the other party sat on the back of the galloping horse, almost fell to the ground because of distraction, and when he reacted, Que Yingjie didn't make a wrong judgment again, pulled the reins tightly, and galloped to the front of the team.
In the next three days and three nights, Que Yingjie would have to think of it from time to time in his ears, Shen Nianyi's words were like an unbearable heavy object, but it had been pressing on his heart, and that gentle smile could never be erased, if this was pride, I am afraid it was a man's greatest pride.
The woman who belonged to him, regardless of her safety, held the holy decree in her hand, just to come and live and die with her.
"Ma'am, the line has stopped." Ignoring the heavy rain, Lu Qi jumped out of the carriage and hurried forward.
Before Sun Shining could react, Shen Nianyi's mount was already beside her, he leaned down to look at her, and asked through the curtains, "Are you okay?" ”
"Good, I slept twice." Although she was groggy, her physical strength was still a little overdrawn, but fortunately, she brought the medicine given to her by Dr. Zheng with her, so she swallowed two with water, and then touched the small gourd on her neck with her hand, without these supports, she might not be able to do it even more.
"Lu Qi went over to get hot food for you, this rain didn't stop so soon, and the road will become more and more difficult to walk." Shen Nianyi tried his best to pick words that could soothe him and said, "But the snow dragon horse is really a good horse, if you get out of the car and take a look, you will understand, not only do you show any tiredness when you get here, but you don't even get a little mud on your four hooves." ”
Sun Shining smiled lightly, and clearly didn't want him to worry: "I brought a lot of food, but in fact, Lu Qi didn't need to go to fetch food for me." ”
"In this kind of weather, eating hot food will lift your spirits." Shen Nianyi never lifted the curtain of the car, everyone looked very embarrassed, there was no need to be uneasy.
"How long are we going to be in a hurry?" Sun Shining wants to have an exact number, otherwise it will be boundless and a little difficult.
"If the weather doesn't get worse, I think it's about four or five days away." Shen Nianyi knew that the mount born in Ningxia was not inferior to the Snow Dragon Horse at all, if they were in a hurry, they would not even be able to reach Tiandu in three days, although they were marching, they were all light horses on the road, well-trained, and they were equipped with good horses, and the rest time was reduced as much as possible, so it should be enough to spend five or six days on the road.
Five or six days may already be an extreme challenge for these elite soldiers who have not yet gone far.
Lu Mi really came back with steaming food: "The adult is also here, Qiu Cheng said that he received one for the adult, come over immediately." ”
"I'm not in a hurry." Shen Nian thought about it, but her hands were tied with gauze, I am afraid it would be very inconvenient to eat these, he took it from Lu Mi's hands, or personally sent it into the car, the light in the car was not good, there was a smell of medicine, he sniffed lightly before saying, "It is a medicine that is three parts poison, even if it is a tonic, you can't rely too much." ”
"I know, but Dr. Zheng said that after eating, it is easy to have a deep sleep after eating a stick of incense." Therefore, she had to hurry up and finish the big bowl of food in front of her, like a tuber.
Shen Nianyi scooped it up with that simple spoon, brought it to her mouth and said, "Open your mouth." ”
"I can eat it myself." Sun Shining's face actually became hot because of his actions, when he was at home, she would leave this kind of thing to Holly to do, so she didn't expect him to take the initiative to ask Ying.
"You said, it's time to take a stick of incense after taking the medicine, I think the time is almost up." His excuse is perfect and simply cannot be refuted.
Sun Shining simply cooperated with him, and ate it in a big gulp, the food that didn't look very good, and the entrance actually felt that it was much more delicious and easy to swallow than he imagined.
His words are not bad at all, most of the bowl is down, and the whole person becomes warm, which is more conducive to sleep later.
"I can't eat it." She looked into the bowl and said.
"I'll get you out of the car." Shen Nianyi grabbed the lily hat from the side and put it on for her, "At this moment, the whole team is being renovated, you can deal with some personal matters." ”
Sun Shining understood what he meant, and hurriedly got out of the car with him, Shen Nian had a good position early in the morning, and stood next to her to guard her, she tried to use as fast as she could, and then washed her hands with rainwater.
"There's a creek over there." Shen Nian pointed to her, and in the food just now, there were small fish caught from the stream in the previous section, and it was caught by Que Yingjie with two people, the posture was very skillful and stable, this is a good physical supplement, when Que Yingjie noticed his gaze, he showed praise, making him faster and more accurate.
Sun Shining squatted by the stream, freshened up a little, took out a handkerchief and moistened it, and applied it to his face, compared with the rain, the stream water was not cold at all, and the smell was very clear and comfortable.
"Okay, if you put it on cold, you won't be sleepy." Shen Nianyi's voice was a little relaxed.
"Okay, come on." Sun Shining straightened up, and suddenly felt that someone else was also looking at her, her senses had always been keen, and she met the person's gaze and recognized it as Captain Que, why did he show a look of envy, what was there about her worthy of his envy, if he also wanted to wash his face and hands, she thought that no one would care.
Que Yingjie obviously also noticed that her gaze was caught by her, and quickly turned in another direction.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Nianyi and her happened to be standing in two directions, but he had always been like a god, and he didn't need to see and hear it directly, "Is Captain Que looking at you?" ”
"Yes, I'm probably afraid I won't be able to bear such a hurry." Sun Shining smiled, she had returned to her position, and she was about to get back into the car, "Don't worry about me, I can handle it." ”
"Totally convinced." Shen Nianyi didn't hold back after all, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth, and soon raised his head and walked towards Qiu Cheng, who had been waiting for a while.
Sun Shining sat back in the car, and used his gauze fingers to touch the position where he had just imprinted a kiss below, why was it that in such a tense atmosphere, the relationship between the two people would become more intense, just now, at the moment when he kissed, she also wanted to kiss him, but he was slightly ahead of half a step.
The result is the same, Sun Shining still uses the position of lying on her side, this time it is not forced, the warmth of the whole body plus the peace in her heart, and the assistance of medicine, she fell asleep very quickly, and she slept much more steadily than the first two times, she simply didn't want to wake up.
In this way, on the third day, Sun Shining obviously felt that the speed of the team had slowed down, and the rain had stopped, but the weather was getting colder and colder, she had obviously added a thick coat, and the cold still kept coming in from the soles of her feet and from the cuffs, she heard Shen Nianyi talk about it, the blatant invasion of the Shun Heavenly Kingdom, and perseverance, year after year, the biggest reason is because of the territory of the Shun Heavenly Kingdom, the four seasons are cold, and the ice and snow days occupy most of the time, and there are very few crops that can be planted, although they can be livestocked, But the rate of growth of livestock is also very slow, and even those babies who are born survive only 12 out of 10.
Such a harsh climate caused them to yearn too much to dig out a more suitable place to live and work in peace and contentment, but on the other side of the Shun Heavenly Kingdom is the snow-capped mountains that do not melt all year round, and if they want to change their fate, the only shortcut is to invade the Celestial Empire, even if the border pass is pushed forward for more than 100 miles, the situation will be much better.
It is with this belief that there will be continuous wars, the Shun Heavenly Kingdom wants to survive, and the Celestial Empire is afraid that they will have to advance inch by inch, straight into the hinterland, the border of the two countries, and the war will be pervasive all year round.
Sun Shining thought a little intently, and didn't hear Lu Mi's call, and Lu Mi repeated it again, and seeing that she didn't react, he shouted again: "Madam, it seems that there is an obstacle in front of you, and you suddenly stopped." ”
