Chapter 480: The General on the Cart
When Qin Ke woke up, the sky had darkened, probably because the clouds were thick, and he didn't see too much starlight, only a bright moon hanging alone in the sky. The autumn wind was blowing, and its glow seemed to be a little colder.
There was a crackling sound from the campfire beside him, and Qin Ke finally woke up a little and figured out what had happened before he fell asleep, followed by Abu's smiling face, holding a hot naan cake and millet porridge in a wooden bowl.
Qin Ke's stomach was empty, and he almost wanted to reach out and grab it without thinking about it, but the pain in his right arm immediately issued a silent warning to him, he bared his teeth, lost his strength all of a sudden, and lay back down.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Abu approached him, slowly lifted him up, and then brought the bowl to his mouth.
Qin Ke drank it in a low voice, his mouth was full of the sweet aroma of millet, and his stomach was full of the warmth of hot porridge - for so many days, this should be his only hot meal, and at other times, it was basically dry food with cold water, and everyone had pantothenic acid water in their stomachs.
"How long have I passed out?" Qin Ke licked his lips and looked at Abu who was slowly eating naan on the side, filling his stomach,
"One day and one night. Abu handed over a piece of naan in his hand, but Qin Ke didn't take it.
"What?......?
Abu knew what he was thinking, and a hand gently pressed on his shoulder: "The hour has long passed, don't rush to get up first, your injuries are not light, especially your arms, the bruises have not dissipated, and the internal injuries also need time to recuperate." In addition, if you forcibly push qi and blood and hurt the meridians, if you don't recuperate well, I'm afraid it will have an impact on your future cultivation. ”
"Then how can Wang Xuanwei explain over there?" Of course, Qin Ke could feel the pain in his arm, but Wang Xuanwei said that he had to strictly follow the schedule on the map, and now that the time was delayed, wouldn't he have to drag down the entire cavalry?
"Don't worry, I looked at your map, compared it with mine, and after calculating the time, we went directly to the next joint location, although there were two fewer raids in the middle, but the impact on the overall situation was limited. Besides, how can you lead the troops like this?"
Abu explained softly, "It's always a no-brainer. ”
Qin Ke relaxed a little at this time, but he was still a little worried: "I'm afraid that Wang Xuanwei won't spare us easily." ”
Abu shook his head, disagreeing with his thoughts: "Who do you think of General Wang? He may seem a little unkind at times, but as a commander, he is not an unreasonable person. You are wounded, lying on the ground like a piece of wood and not moving, and the 500 cavalry under your command have no control from you, and they don't know where to go like headless flies, even if General Wang wants you to continue to carry out military orders, can he still suddenly appear a hundred miles away and cure you with a wonderful hand? The battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen, and it is not your intention that such a thing happened. We slightly changed the route of the march, as long as it can fit the next time, it will not affect the overall situation of General Wang. ”
Qin Ke nodded slightly, closed his eyes and sighed: "By you, you are always better than me in this kind of thing, anyway, I can't think of any good way to deal with it." ”
Abu gently patted Qin Ke's right arm, and the latter "hissed" for a while, and then Abu grinned: "Just listen to me, I won't hurt you." ”
It was said that he was resting, but in fact Abu did not stay in place for a long time, before dawn, he had already ordered the cavalry to assemble, all the way to the north, a thousand cavalry passed through a wilderness, and then entered the mountain road again, and Qin Ke lay on the cart, felt the swaying of the cart, and pouted helplessly.
In order to prevent the speed of the cart from falling off due to the speed of the cart, Abu thought of a way to find a rope and cloth strip and tie him to the cart stiffly.
However, this method is practical but practical, but it looks very unsightly, Qin Ke is like a prisoner who has just been captured, tied up with a lot of flowers, just waiting to be sent to the camp and tortured......
"Don't think I can't see that you're all holding back your laughter!" Qin Ke was lying on the cart, just opposite the cavalry behind the palace, his eyes widened, and he roared: "If you want to laugh, laugh, don't let me keep looking at your stupid faces, I don't know and think that you can't in the thatched hut one by one......"
"Hahaha!" As soon as the words fell, the laughter of the cavalry suddenly intertwined, and there was a lot of laughter on the march.
Along the way, Abu also took the initiative to attack according to the map and attacked various troops of the Tang State. It's just that in the past few days, Tang Guo has made special deployments, and the route of the grain team is no longer as expected on Wang Xuanwei's map, and the number of air strikes has increased a lot.
After the two teams of cavalry walked together for two days and one night, Abu came to bid farewell to Qin Ke, and before leaving, he seriously told several of Qin Ke's personal guards: "You remember to take care of him, don't let him mess around, as for how to go, I have already made it clear to you, just go on according to what I say." ”
"Yes. The eyes of several guards were extremely fierce, because they failed to protect Qin Ke in that battle, and they still felt ashamed in their hearts, so their response was also very loud.
"Let's go, let's go. Qin Ke lay on the cart and complained, "Lest I make you a laughing stock all day long, what the hell are you thinking." ”
"Isn't it nice? Anyway, people can only sleep on horseback, and when you want to sleep, you close your eyes and fall asleep. Abu looked at the strip of cloth on his body and laughed out loud.
What Qin Ke didn't know was that at this moment, there was a person who was hundreds of miles away from him, but he had a bit of sympathy with him.
Long Ju looked at the felt curtain of the tent, and could just see the figure lying on the cover, probably lying a little bored, he hummed a little song in a low voice, and his fingers were still beating the beat.
Long Ju walked in and laughed softly, "How is General Cheng?"
When the sturdy figure heard the sound of the dragon foal, he immediately covered his chest with his backhand and hummed.
"General Cheng, I was still in that good mood just now, I don't know what kind of song it is?"
Cheng Shuangaxe glanced at the dragon horse, stopped covering his chest, dug his nostrils with his hands, and replied lazily: "Eighteen grinding." ”
Long Ju was stunned, he didn't expect Cheng Shuangaxe to answer so righteously, as if he was not talking about Goulan Yanqu but the supreme ritual music during the sacrifice of a great country.
He coughed a few lowly, deliberately trying to dispel some embarrassment: "I see...... Cheng, General Cheng is really a man of temperament. ”
"Don't dare to be. Cheng Shuangaxe shook his head, and gestured with a finger: "My old Cheng is a rough man, what famous songs, what mountains and rivers, Lao Tzu is dizzy when he listens to them, but it is not as happy as the girls in the building to play and sing a song." General Long was born in a family, and he was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics when he was young, how can he look down on me, the 'butcher general'?"
Long Ju heard that there was anger in his words, but his heart calmed down a little, and said with a slight smile: "But are you still angry about the palm and a hundred military sticks that General Xiang hit?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. How dare I, a rough old man, be angry with General Xiang?" Cheng Shuangaxe said that he didn't dare, but his long tone was clearly sarcastic, "Oh, my old Cheng is a small soldier who transports grain, and this time he stupidly lost his military rations, and it is my great blessing that General Xiang didn't cut me down a lot, how dare I hold a grudge against him?"
When the general said this, it really embarrassed the dragon horse. Long Ju gently approached Cheng Shuangaxe's bedside, stretched out his hand to probe his wrist vein, before Xiang Chu gave Cheng Shuangaxe a palm in a fit of anger, which shocked him to vomit blood on the spot, his eyes rolled and fainted, and he didn't know if that palm hurt his internal organs.
