Chapter VI
The team walked for three days, and at the foot of Yanling, Ye Miao ordered to repair in situ.
They found an open place, set up tents, and lit bonfires.
In autumn, the forest at night was even cooler, and Shen Yuan still felt a faint pain in the bones on his body when he wore this fox fur. Sitting by the campfire, watching the rising flames in fascination.
"It's cool at night, so keep warm."
Shen Yuan turned around and saw Ye Yuan standing not far away with a pot of wine, "Thank you for your concern." โ
"Where is the general going?"
Ye Yuan looked at Shen Yuan's shadow on the ground swaying with the firelight, thin and lonely, and lifted the wine in his hand, "Go find an old friend to drink a pot, do you want to join us?" โ
Shen Yuan didn't expect Ye Yuan to call him and was a little surprised, "Ah, good! โ
The two walked slowly in the woods, no one spoke, and the sound of dead leaves breaking under their feet was particularly obvious.
Seeing them get farther and farther away from the camp.
"Where are the General's old friends?" Shen Yuan broke the silence with a loud voice.
"Soon," Ye Wei pointed, "just walk through this hill." โ
Standing on the top of the hill and looking down, there was a meadow in front of meadow, and the moonlight sprinkled on the grass, shining on the dewdrops.
"My old friend," Ye Wei sat on the ground, "right here." โ
Shen Yuan sat down with Ye Yuan and looked at the grass in front of him.
"She used to live on Yanling, and she told me that after the battle, what she wanted most was to lie on the grass of Yanling and bask in the sun for a day...... Then she died on the battlefield, and we brought her bones back here. โ
What she didn't say was that when Ah Ying was found, her body had already been gnawed by the jackals raised by the Jin people. They restrained her and sprinkled her ashes on the grassy ground.
Ye Miao raised the wine jug in his hand, "Ah Ying, I'm here to drink with you." โ
After saying that, he spilled the wine on the grass and took a sip of himself.
After Ye Wei finished speaking, there were suddenly many fireflies in the air, and the dots of light danced in the night, as if in response to her words.
"General's Day condolences." Shen Yuan looked at Ye Yuan.
"It doesn't matter, I know that the people who left are actually still there, and as long as we remember them, they are always there." Ye Miao shook the wine in his hand and took two more sips.
Is that so? Are they still there?
Shen Yuan looked up at the moon in the sky, and the vague appearance of Dafu appeared in his mind
"The prince has a sip, it's cool in the autumn night, and the wine is warm."
Shen Yuan carefully took the flask and took a sip hesitantly.
Ahem, cough, this is the first time Shen Yuan has drunk alcohol, and he has been choked a lot. Ye Yuan patted Shen Yuan's back and laughed.
Although Shen Yuan hadn't gotten used to the taste of the wine yet, his body was a lot warmer after taking a sip, but his head was a little dizzy for some reason.
"Leaf Root"
"Huh?" Ye Miao raised her head again.
"I want you to do me a favor?"
"What's the hurry?" Ye Yuan glanced at Shen Yuan and took a long sip of wine.
"The scripture I copied, I'm almost finished, I want you to find someone to help me transport it back to the Daxiangguo Temple in Beijing to worship." Shen Yuan's eyes were already a little blurry.
"Hey" Ye Yuan patted Shen Yuan's shoulder, "This little thing is wrapped up in me." โ
Shen Yuan looked at Ye Yuan, and looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky.
I'm almost done, I'm done, I'm leaving, Ye Mao, I'm dead, will you come to me like this to drink? Maybe you'll soon forget about me......
Ye Miao watched the person in front of him swaying and pouring down, still pouring a cup.
Ye Yuan walked back with the drunk Shen Yuan on his back.
"Ye Yuan," the person on his back leaned into his ear and said, "Thank you, thank you......"
"You're welcome, my lord." Ye Yuan shook Shen Yuan on his back and returned to the camp one by one.
ยท
"How is it, is your prince awake?" Ye Miao stood in front of the big tent.
"Not yet, General Ye, Doctor Su is watching inside." Sanshun came out with water and then went in again.
Hey, he shouldn't have been asked to drink yesterday, Ye Hao blamed himself in his heart.
"How's it going?" Ye Miao hurriedly asked when he saw Su Li come out.
"You, you" Su Li saw Ye Yuan's trembling anger, "How can you toss a patient like this?" Is he able to drink alcohol now? โ
"I, it's not like I don't know, this ......" Ye Miao was speechless anxiously.
"Doctor Su doesn't blame the general." Shen Yuan's voice came from the tent.
"You're awake, are you okay?" Ye Miao asked as he rushed into the tent.
"It's okay, the general doesn't have to worry, and he doesn't have to blame himself for this matter." Shen Yuan half-sat up from the bed.
"Hmph, it's okay," Doctor Su blew his beard and glared at him, "I don't know how to cherish my own body." โ
"Is he okay then?" Ye Miao asked worriedly.
"It's okay now, but you can't drink anymore, his body can't stand it, don't be stimulated, don't toss, his body is now a mud bodhisattva, a piece will fall off at a slight touch, and the day it will be gone." Doctor Su waved his hand.
"What then?" Ye Mo grabbed Doctor Su's sleeve.
"One word - raising, I recently received a message from my junior brother, he is not far from us, I will go to find him, I should be able to discuss a way, when the time comes, we will meet directly in the border city, before I come back, cultivate well." Su Li flicked his sleeves and went out.
Ye Yuan tucked Shen Yuan's quilt and said, "You lie down and rest, and we'll set off again in two days." โ
"It's slowing down the march."
"It's okay, your body is the most important, yesterday grandpa wrote to say that the people on Dajin's side will be a few days late, we are not in a hurry."
Ye Yuan looked back worriedly after leaving the tent, Shen Yuan's body, going to Dajin to be a proton is probably only getting more and more serious, I hope that Doctor Su can bring back good news.
ยท
The night of the second day.
"General" Wang Hu hugged his fists.
"How?" Ye Mo sat by the fire with a branch, stirring with the ashes.
"I've looked around and there's nothing out of the ordinary."
"Well, tell the brothers to be vigilant, after Yanling, you will almost reach the border city." Ye Mo stood up and threw the branch in his hand, raising the ashes, which slowly rose from the ground but were engulfed in flames.
Ye Yuan strode into Shen Yuan's big tent.
"Has the fever subsided?"
Ahri took the needle in his hand and said, "It's gone, it shouldn't burn tomorrow." โ
"That's good," Ye Miao nodded, "Sanshun, you pack up, tomorrow when the prince is better, we will set off." โ
"In such a hurry?" Ahri asked.
"I've been in a panic since the morning, and I'm afraid something is going to happen." Ye Hao clenched his fists. She had always trusted her hunch, a battle-hardened instinct for blood.
After explaining this, Ye Miao took people to inspect around.
ยท
Walked for two days. It seems that there is still one day before Yanling. But there's nothing wrong with it along the way.
The sky gradually darkened, and Ye Miao told everyone to rest in place, and there was no tent. There was no bonfire lit, just told everyone to rest in place.
It rustled through the woods, and the only sound in my ears was the sound of soldiers patrolling. , The strangeness in Ye Yuan's heart did not disappear, it reminded Ye Yuan - a bloody storm was waiting for her.
Yanling is the last barrier between the border city and the hinterland of Daqi, and if anyone wants to do something, this is the last place to do it.
"General, what's wrong?" Wang Hu looked at the vigilant Ye Mo and asked.
"It doesn't feel right, tell all the brothers on patrol to be vigilant."
Ye Ning called a small group of people to stay in front of the prince's carriage.
It was almost dawn. A quiet night.
Is it too vigilant? Ye Ning muttered in his heart.
"Be careful!"
This time from the darkness. A cold arrow was fired. Ye Mo raised his knife to block. The arrow is split in half.
Everyone reacted quickly. The soldier who had just been lying on the ground sleeping. Get up immediately. Firmly grasped the sword in his hand, staring at it all with bated breath. Waiting for the end of the last tranquility before the Great War.
Come on! A voice came from the dense forest, and a group of men in black rushed out!
Everyone quickly fell into a state of scuffle.
While the team rested, a couple patrolled outside. Others rest inside. Alternate shifts on both sides. At this time, the enemy on the periphery can't hurt the prince?
Ye Mo led people to rush to the periphery and fight with the man in black.
After fighting for a while, Ye Ning felt a little strange. These people don't seem to have a strong fighting spirit, and they don't use all their strength when fighting their own soldiers.
Suddenly, a thought flashed in Ye Ning's mind. She walked towards the center with her sword in hand.
Next to the prince's carriage. An Shun held the dagger in his hand and looked around tremblingly.
"But who's near the carriage?" Ye Miao asked anxiously.
"There is no prince and these brothers who have been firmly guarding the prince's carriage, and no one has approached"
Ye Ning nodded. But I still can't rest assured.
The prince Ye Ning knocked on the wall of the carriage. But there was no one in the car who responded. Ye Ning lifted the curtain. only to find that there was no prince in the car at all.
Sanshun stood in place and was stupid.
Ye Ning looked around. The soldiers on the periphery were still fighting with the men in black. Since they haven't retreated yet, it means that people have definitely not gone far.
"Wang Hu"
Hearing Ye Ning's voice, Wang Hu hurried over.
"Tell the brothers to guard the periphery," and then Ye Ning ordered a group of people. From a opening, rushed out.
Those black-clothed men wanted to prevent Ye Miao from being suppressed by the soldiers on the periphery.
Ye Miao chased after him with people for a short time. I saw a few people wearing their own soldiers' uniforms with the prince tied up.
"Stop!"
The group turned around and found Ye Ning and them. One of them raised his knife and put it on the prince's neck.
"Boy, what are you doing here? Didn't you say you were going to follow the general and do a good job, you...... You're going to be a traitor. Behind him, an older soldier shouted with a trembling sword.
But the man did not seem to hear him. He only tightened his grip on the knife in his hand a few more points. "You dare to come here. I slew him with one sword. โ
"They're not our people." Ye Miao stared at the group of people in front of him.
Although these people are dressed in her army, they should still have the same appearance as her own soldiers, but the way they hold knives is completely different from what they are taught in the army.
