Chapter Eighty-Four: On the March
When she had to change her clothes for the eldest princess, Yu Qing's acupoints had already solved most of them on their own. This side and the pro-fang team have also been prepared, and the two palace maids came over again and carried Yu Qing into the sedan chair. To be honest, when Yu Qing first entered, she was also amazed by the eldest princess, she was dressed in a gorgeous dress, gorgeous but not frivolous. Although her facial features are not much different from her mother, Queen Xifei, the temperament between her eyebrows and eyes is not as gentle and moving as that of Queen Xifei, beautiful and generous, but with neutral coldness. Yu Qing thought about it, maybe she had a dull gaze since she was a child and didn't have any expression, so she looked a little cold.
Yu Qing moved to sit next to her with difficulty, and then looked at the eldest princess seriously, with envy and melancholy in her heart. is to envy her beauty, but also to melancholy her fate. She is so beautiful, but she lacks her mind, she marries Cai Guo, I don't know how much she will be bullied. It's really beautiful when you succeed, and beautiful when you lose. Yu Qing lowered his head, looked at the cocoon on his right hand, and felt a little comforted in his heart, although he was not good-looking, but he had a body of martial arts, no matter how bad it was, he could protect himself, and he didn't have to worry about being at the mercy of others like the eldest princess.
As soon as Yu Qing looked up, he saw the light leaking from the sedan chair, and saw Yiqi riding a horse outside, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "His kung fu is still self-protecting among ordinary people, but in the eyes of masters, it's not fish and meat?"
She sighed again, and then lay on the eldest princess's lap and fell into a deep sleep. Anyway, you can't change anything, so let's just go with the flow.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a month. For more than half a month, every day during the day, at night, when resting, Yiqi and General Lie Xingfeng were next to the eldest princess's tent on the left and right, forming a circle of encirclement. General Lie Xingfeng is the young and heroic general he saw outside the city that day, and he is the eldest son of General Lie Ruyun. His character is a typical military general's character, big grinning, but quite majestic, and Yiqi, if he doesn't have a good martial arts, is more like a scribe, always dressed in white, fluttering like a fairy, and will use the bamboo flute in his hand to play a few beautiful tunes at night and early in the morning. They have traveled all the way, the big danger has not been encountered, the bandits have seen a lot, the most dangerous one, is a bandit leader, with a knife to take advantage of the chaos has rushed to the eldest princess's carriage, just about to come in, but has been watching the battle coldly with a bamboo flute pointed by Yiqi, and died in front of the carriage. Only then did Yu Qing know that the bamboo flute that he had never left was actually an extremely powerful secret weapon, and his fear of him was a little more.
Thinking that he had already entered the southwest realm, Yu Qing suddenly felt that the air had become wet, and the carriage was often damp, sticky and uncomfortable. Today is dusk, and they are now in a dense forest, the guide that General Lie brought from Xiguo, has to walk from this dense forest full of miasma, saying that it is close, and can reach the largest city on the border of Cai State, Jiangzhou, early. Yu Qing could feel the carriage moving slower and slower without lifting the curtain, and finally stopped completely.
Yiqi, who had been silent, said lightly, "The trees ahead are too lush, I guess we won't be able to walk tonight." Why don't you stay here today and leave tomorrow. ”
Column Xingfeng also said Lang Lang, "Yes, the woods are dense, and I am afraid of poisonous snakes and beasts, so let's rest here today, and then hurry tomorrow." ”
The soldiers received the order and immediately began to camp in place. Yu Qing heard them say to rest and also got out of the car. Being stuffed in the carriage all day long, bumpy for more than half a month, she only felt a sore back and felt uncomfortable. It's just that Lie Xingfeng doesn't allow her to ride a horse, and she doesn't allow her to move around at will, so every day when the soldiers set up camp, that is, when Yu Qing gets off the car and activities. Yu Qing got out of the carriage and saw that it was already dark in the forest, and all kinds of flowers and trees were all black, and he couldn't see it really. As the soldiers' bonfires lit, there were bursts of fog in the camp. At this time, it is early spring, although everything is recovering, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, but this forest is still a little cold. Yu Qing shuddered, walked to Lie Xingfeng and Yiqi, and sat down cheekily.
This small column general is not as reckless as the big column general, along the way, he made all the big and small decisions, and he can be regarded as managing the team of hundreds of people in an orderly manner. Now he was looking at a map, and Kiki, frowning, looked at the fire in front of him, as if thinking about something. For a moment, the three of them were silent.
Suddenly, he heard Lie Xingfeng speak, his voice was very small, but Yu Qing knew that the three of them could hear it, and he whispered, "Do you think that the route of our trip does not match the map?"
Yi Qi smiled, separated the map he handed over with a bamboo flute, and said lightly, "Let's solve the trouble in front of us first." ”
Yu Qing and Lie Xingfeng's faces suddenly darkened, and they asked at the same time, "What did you say?"
Yiqi still said lightly: "Don't you think this fog is a little strange?"
Yu Qing and Lie Xingfeng listened to his words, and looked around vigilantly. Sure enough, if you look closely, you can see the problem. They were now in a bush, and about a hundred meters to the left was a dense forest. The fog was coming from the direction of the dense forest, but strangely enough, there was no wind now. Yu Qing took a deep breath, only to feel that in addition to the fragrance of the trees, this mist was also mixed with a faint fishy smell. Yi Qi squinted at her, "This is miasma, if it is less, it will make people weak, and it can kill people." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yu Qing and Lie Xingfeng both changed their faces, Lie Xingfeng was not as good at putting on a stand as his father, and asked directly, "Do you have a way to prevent it?"
Yiqi's expression remained unchanged, but there was a heavy meaning in his eyes, "When we went up the mountain just now, there was a river valley at the foot of the mountain, right?"
Yu Qing and Lie Xingfeng nodded.
Kiki continued, "The valley was so humid that it was almost impossible for us to walk through it. I didn't think much of it at the time, thinking that it was caused by the rain in the southwest, but now it seems that it is the water of the river, which has been cut off by people upstream, so it is so wet. Yu Qing couldn't help but ask, "Why are they cutting off the water?"
Lie Xingfeng glanced at her and patiently explained, "Presumably in order to cut off our back road, when we go up the mountain, they will release the water again, and the river will return to its usual volume, so we naturally can't get through." ”
Yu Qing was shocked, "Then what now?"
Lie Xingfeng was a person who had fought on the battlefield, and immediately said, "Now that the back road is broken, I can only take the initiative to attack." ”
Yiqi nodded, "I don't know anything about marching and fighting, so I can only rely on the command of the generals." However, the miasma must have been artificial, so the soldiers found artemisia grass, smashed it, and then dipped the juice on a white cloth, and then covered their mouths and noses with a white cloth, which might be able to resist for a while. ”
Lie Xingfeng nodded, and immediately ordered the deputy general to follow Yiqi's method and teach the soldiers to collect artemisia grass.
