Even though Mutam was anxious, he didn't urge a word, Shen really understood his heart, wrapped himself in a soft cushion, and told the coachman to hurry up, faster.

They ran all night, until the sun came up, and they were about to reach the gates.

Mutam had gone to a letter before, and had made arrangements, and a group of soldiers were waiting for him at the city gate in a neat and solemn manner, and everyone felt a sense of relief when they saw people.

"Master, when you enter the city through this gate, I have already arranged for it, and there are people inside to answer it." Mutam took out his waist card, "I went around the outer city and attacked Warat, I can't accompany you, you beware." ”

Shen Qu took out a peace charm from his waist and handed it to him: "This is the peace charm I went to the temple to ask for during the civil strife in Jin'an last year, you can take it with you, it blesses Jin'an and Daye, and this time it will definitely bless Soto." ”

Mutam tightened his five fingers, held the peace charm tightly in the palm of his hand, and draped it into battle.

Shen Qu watched them go away until he couldn't see anyone before entering the city.

The city is still peaceful, but martial law is everywhere, and it is very strict.

Shen did take the waist card all the way into the city and was checked four times, and then he saw the Soto envoy waiting in the city.

Mutam very intimately arranged for her a female messenger, who looked about thirty years old, with the same long braid twisted into a twisted flower hanging down on her chest, and the woman was fair-skinned, slightly chubby, and smiling, and when she saw them, she stepped forward and saluted:

"Lady Shen is good, by the order of His Royal Highness and His Majesty, the slave came to wait for the lady, and the lady called Nu Aida."

Her official speech was very good, and she couldn't hear the accent at all, Shen was quite surprised, looked at her carefully and asked, "Sister Aida is from Daye?" ”

Aida was pleasantly surprised: "The lady has good eyesight, the slave is originally from Jin'an, and she took root here when she married to Soto." ”

"That's a fellow." Shen Qu stepped forward to take Aida's hand and motioned for Zelan to offer the gift.

It was the special plum wine of Jin'an that she brought from Jin'an, and the whole Daye can only be made from the fruit of dozens of plum trees in the plum orchard south of Jin'an, which is small and fine but famous far and wide, this is still Li Luansong's reward to Daddy, Shen really thought that it might be useful to bring some over.

Sure enough, Aida saw the plum wine with tears in her eyes, took it with trembling hands, and said, "My father and aunt like to drink plum wine the most, and they have also entered Soto with me now, and they have not been back for many years, if they see this wine, they must be very happy." ”

Aida thanked Shen Qu again and again, and said, "If the lady feels kind, you can call me Mrs. Li, my surname is Li." ”

It's easier to get to know and get to know each other.

Li Niangzi originally planned to follow Mutam's instructions to place Shen Qu and Zelan at the post station, let them rest for a few days, and wait for the end of the war to meet them in person, but Shen Qu was unwilling.

"Now Soto is the most difficult time, how can I sit still, if Mrs. Li is really good for me, she will listen to me."

She couldn't help but say, and instructed Zelan to sort and pack the medicinal materials she had prepared earlier.

"There are some medicinal materials here, after the war, there were many casualties, and if the treatment was not timely, I was afraid of the epidemic, some of these medicines were used to prevent and treat the epidemic, and some were used to treat external injuries, I asked people to pack them one by one, let's go and see it together."

Mrs. Li couldn't resist her, so she had to go to the south gate with her.

The sun shone on the earth and baked warmly, but it still couldn't stop this sudden war.

The people closed their doors, and there were hardly any people to see along the way, and it was not until the south gate that you could see the scene of wounded and blood flowing everywhere.

This kind of scene is too familiar, Shen really remembered Jin'an a year ago, under the double blow of the epidemic and civil strife, he was also so decadent and down.

Without saying a word, Shen Qu rolled up his sleeves and greeted everyone:

"Mrs. Li, please call all the doctors over into two batches, a small number of people are responsible for epidemic prevention, and most of them are responsible for treating the wounded, these people can't wait any longer, if the weather is cold and the ground is not treated in time, I am afraid it will be delayed."

"Liang Fan, dilute my homemade medicinal powder and spray it everywhere, which is good for epidemic prevention."

"Zeelan, discuss with me the shopkeeper of the shop, we must vacate a few rooms to accommodate the wounded, the closer the better, so as to avoid the pain of moving."

"Mrs. Li, let's see if we can make some porridge and noodles in the palace and distribute them to the soldiers and the people, so that everyone can have a full meal."

Mrs. Li was busy and found someone to go separately, and Zelan and Liang Fan were also busy.

The street, which was still lifeless just now, came alive in an instant, and those who could come to help came to help, carrying the wounded, spraying medicine, carrying things, and some women cooking porridge and giving porridge......

Two hours later, the battle continued, but everything in the city became orderly, and the queen went out of the palace to visit Shen Qu in person.

"Their father and son are on the front line, I just settled in the palace and sent the supplies to the front line, if there is no Shen Niangzi, there will be a delay here."

Shen did hurriedly excuse himself, "Niangniang doesn't have to be polite, Mutam was our savior, and this is what I should do." ”

The division of labor is clear, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

The battle did not last long, because of the timely arrival of Mutam, the already defeated team of Warat was already overwhelmed, and it only took two days to repel Warat, in exchange for a moment of peace.

In the evening of this day, facing the afterglow of the sunset, Mutam dragged his tired body over to see Shen Qu.

After only two days of hard work, he had green stubble on his face, sunken eye sockets, injuries and blood marks on his face, heavy steps, and his spirit looked fine.

Shen Qu pulled him to sit down and personally treated his injuries and dressed.

"I heard Aida say that you haven't rested for a few days, why are you ......" He pulled in a hurry, scratched the scars on his face, and let out a soft exclamation: "Hiss." ”

"Don't move." Shen did hold him down and sat down, "I'm very good here, everything is in order, these are familiar to me." ”

She has followed her father to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded since she was a child, and she is an expert.

Mutam asked, "You have lost weight, can you eat and sleep well these days?" ”

Shen Qu said: "With Zelan here, you can rest assured that you can eat and drink." ”

There was a long scar on his face, Shen did dip the ointment on it, Mutam hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Although the Varat have withdrawn but have not withdrawn, but from what I know of them, they will not retreat easily, so we must seize the time to gather the army to meet the battle.

If Warat launches a second round of attacks quickly, with the current strength of Soto and the number of soldiers, I am afraid that it will ......"

"Master." Mutam raised his head and grabbed her slender wrist, "If, I mean if, they really chase after days, I'll send someone to see you off first, I can't let you fold here." ”

Shen Qu broke his hand and snorted stubbornly: "I'm not leaving." Mutam, the most difficult time for Daye was when you helped us, how could I not save me from death. ”

"But you, a woman, are at most treating the wounded, and if Warat really enters the city, let alone you, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect myself."

"I'm not afraid." Shen was not afraid at all, "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, I have a hunch that Soto will definitely save the day this time." ”

Mutam only thought she was comforting him, smiled helplessly and said no more.

If there really is a day, he will have to send her away first even if he knocks her unconscious.

The temporary rest was exchanged for a moment of peace, but Shen was not idle for a day.

Unable to take care of his own health, he was busy taking care of the wounded, and from time to time he helped persuade the people to join the army and go into battle, and Soto's lack of troops was the biggest trouble.

Liang Fan helped for two days and was also driven home by Shen Qu, "It's okay to see your father and mother, they are relieved to see you, it's not too late for you to come over to help." ”

Mutam strengthened the defense deployment in the city on the one hand, and gathered troops for mobilization on the other hand, encouraging everyone to join the army, one more person, Soto has a better chance of winning.

The two of them rarely get to meet, and occasionally when they eat, Mutam will deliberately run over to watch Shen Qu eat, for fear that she will not eat well and eat less.

At this time, Shen did not pay so much attention to it, he sat wherever it was convenient, picked up the bowl and devoured it well, and Mu Tamu sandwiched all the meat in his bowl to her:

"Our little Liuzi can't be wronged at all, these meats are all given by my uncle, and they will all be eaten."

Shen did laugh, and he didn't shirk it, and he really ate a fine light.

He was going to fight again, and Shen Qu specially boiled ginseng soup for him and poured it into his wine jug:

"Take a sip of refreshment when you're tired, and watch out for your body, you're their hope."

They looked at each other and smiled, and they were busy.

On the evening of the third day, Mutam came to see Shen and brought good news:

"At present, 5,000 people have been assembled, which is already very good, although it is not enough, but it can be regarded as able to resist for a day or two."

Although the news was not very optimistic, he did his best to get it, and Shen was happy for him.

"Look at me, tired a distinguished guest from afar like this."

Mu Tamu looked at Shen Qu, the folds of the dress were still a little dirty, the sleeves were rolled up to expose the wrists, a pair of white and tender little hands were full of black ash, and there was dirt on his face, he reached out to help her gently wipe it off, and said quietly:

"Actually, this kind of free and easy you is real, and you are suitable for this kind of life that is free and free for you to play."

Shen Qu snapped his fingers, "You know me, how about it, I just learned it, it doesn't ring." ”

Before Mutam could speak, a soldier over there came quickly, almost rolling off his horse and saying:

"Report to Your Highness, it's not good, Wara has raised troops and fought again, and there are barbarians, there are many of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to fight."

There was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Mutam's face changed suddenly.

"Master, I'll send you ......"

"Mutam, go and get busy with you, I don't want you to care."

Shen Qu interrupted him and took a step back, but his gaze was extremely determined.

"Master, Shen Qu."

Mutam was anxious, "Now is not the time to be willful, the Soto army is less than 8,000 people in total, but the enemy has increased its strength, I don't know how long it can resist." The country of Soto is in danger, I appreciate your deep friendship, but now is not the time for one more person to die, you look at these people, the people are displaced, the soldiers are seriously injured, and so am I, I can hold out for a while, maybe ......"

He really couldn't go on, a pair of scarlet eyes stared at Shen Qu, it was pleading, grateful, and affectionate.

"Amu." Shen Qu stepped forward and took his hand, "Is the peace charm I gave you still there?" ”

Mutam nodded in dismay.

"That's good." Shen Qu smiled and stroked the broken hair in his ears, "Soto is in trouble, you Mutam are in trouble, I, as a friend and a master, have no reason to stand idly by." You don't have to persuade me, I won't leave. ”

She breathed a long sigh of relief and said sharply, "Mutam, you are the prince of Soto, the future king. Everyone's hopes are pinned on you, and you are not qualified to say such things. You can only brace yourself and fight until the last breath and believe that we can win. ”

"But ......"

"Don't." Shen did look at him, "If you insist on doing this, I will be really angry, do you not believe in yourself, or do you not believe in these brothers who were born and died for you and for Soto, or, do you not believe me?" ”

"I ......"

"Needless to say, go out and fight." Shen Qu solemnly saluted him, "We are all waiting for you here." ”

"Master......"

"Your Royal Highness."

Just as they were arguing, another fast horse came in the distance:

"Your Highness, Daye's reinforcements have arrived, and they have already fought with Warat outside the city, and it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daye who is leading the army, and there are 30,000 people here."

"Prepare the horses." Mutam was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Fight." ”
