The two of them were delaying their time in the mouth of the sheep intestines and failed to arrive at the next village after dark. They had no choice but to sleep in the woods by the roadside for a night.

As expected, Tang Wudi fell ill as Zhuang Rou thought.

She was cold and dizzy all over, and she felt very uncomfortable all over. She sat on the horse and swayed around. She finally managed to hold her to the next town and when she entered the inn, Zhuang Rou carried her into the inn.

The store almost refused to accept it in the store because she was afraid of death. With Zhuang Rou's heavy money and threat, she checked in with them.

I came to see the doctor and found out that it was because of the injury, the body was weak, and I had not recovered well and the cold sleeping at night, so I got angry.

Although the medicine was prescribed, the doctor ordered that he should rest in bed for at least ten or half a month and not to overwork. If he did not reduce the fever the next day after taking the medicine, he would have to send him to the prefecture and county town to find a better doctor.

However, Tang Wudi was so hot that he was confused. He kept remembering to rush back to Qingliang City, muttering endlessly, holding Zhuang Rou just to let go.

Zhuang Rou put her hand back into the quilt, gave her money to ask them to help decoct the medicine, and spread the map she had bought before on the table to look carefully.

Tang Wudi originally meant to walk on the official road and rush over it. The borders between the two countries were either towering peaks or continuous mountains, and there were not many places that could be flat and connected.

It is precisely because the road is difficult to move, the warlike Qingliang Kingdom did not fight, and the price was too high and not cost-effective. But even so, the two countries have experienced several battles of all sizes.

The purpose of fighting is not to annex the other party, but to demonstrate strength and decide who is stronger and who is the boss of everyone. During peace talks, you can gain greater benefits from the weak.

If you bite a hard bone, you will suffer both losses. It is better to bite off a bit of the meat and wait until it grows up before taking a bite.

Zhuang Rou could not let Tang Wudi return to Qingliang Kingdom smoothly, but she had to go there, and there were important things waiting for her to do.

This time the dealer was too much and had to let them know that they were not easy to mess with. They had to pay the price for interfering in their affairs again and again, otherwise they would think they were a soft persimmon.

As for her brother's affairs, she also had some plans and was not worried about the major problems her behavior would cause.

Zhuang Rou heard from the words of the young prince that the emperor Zhou Kun seemed not very satisfied with his brother, and she didn't want to mention such ungratefulness. No emperor has ever been a good person.

No matter how useless the foolish monarch is, he is unwilling to give up the power in his hands.

Now that the imperial power has been taken back, it is inevitable that it will be destroyed by crossing the river. It is impossible for my brother to be without such alertness, and I don’t know what tricks he has prepared in it.

However, the emperor is too anxious, and it took so long to be impatient.

Zhuang Rou is not worried about Zhuang Xuewen's side, but the appearance of the banker may be detrimental to her brother's affairs.

If they could completely control everyone and things, they would definitely not always bother themselves, which means that things were not as out of control as they thought.

The people of the dealer lack the hardships. They are too arrogant and domineering, and think they can control everyone.

We have to let them know that it is not a matter of things, they can interfere.

Zhuang Rou now has to find the suitable route first. She doesn't want to choose the official road, so it's too easy to go to Qingliang Kingdom. Fortunately, the road is far away, and Tang Wudi's body cannot ride a horse, so she can give up using this excuse.

Tang Wudi's body could not stand those mountain paths now, and might have died halfway. She set her sights on the last waterway, which was quite in line with her requirements. The next step was how to persuade Tang Wudi to go.

Tang Wudi woke up in the middle of the night, and his mouth was so dry that he had to wake Zhuang Rou, who was sleeping opposite him, and asked for water to drink.

Zhuang Rou poured water for her, watched her drinking water gurglingly, and put the map on her quilt, pointing to a place and said, "Sister Tang, your body should not be riding a horse and a car. I now have more than a day out from here. There is a Dongpeng River. You can take a boat to Shuangmenguan, and you can go to Qingliang Kingdom from there."

Tang Wudi looked at the map and was stunned for a moment, remembering where this was, "I know that in Qingliang Kingdom, this place called Xiongguan is indeed a passable place."

"But that Shuangjie River is the only two countries and rivers in the same way. The waterway checkpoints are not open to the people, and only the troops stationed. The waterways are not very bumpy, so we both sit on the boat to the other side, otherwise we will be able to reach the border in a month."

She didn't say that the commander Wang Yaoyuan, who was stationed in the pass, was familiar with her father. She was taken to ask for New Year's money when she was young, and she never saw her again after she became an adult, but she must know her name.

As long as you get there, you can not only smoothly enter the pass, but also let him send someone to send the letter out quietly.

After all, there is no road guide now, so it will be too troublesome to check it out when entering from other places.

Tang Wudi leaned softly on the bed, looking at Zhuang Rou who was carefully looking for the way on the map, and felt a little guilty about deceiving her to go to Qingliang Kingdom for the sake of the people.

Even this guilt is just because of telling lies, not because of not helping the people.

She was born as a noble daughter with a wealthy life. Her daily life will not be related to the people. At most, she can listen to others as interesting stories about the people.

As for how hard the poor are, she can't even imagine how hard it is. She went out for a long time and looked rich with food and accommodation. What kind of real poor people are there?

Like ordinary noble girls, what materials and styles of clothes to wear next tea party and whether the ornaments to wear are used for the second time is more important than what poor people come.

Tang Wudi also thought about it. When he entered the border and found Wang Shibo, he changed to taking Zhuang Rou to travel around the mountains and rivers. He led her to his good sister's house and would definitely linger, so he would not think that he had hidden his identity.

When Zhuang Rou saw that she agreed to go this path, she didn't have to worry about it at all, and she suddenly felt that she knew about the people in the border area.

However, even if Tang Wudi knew the officers and soldiers, Zhuang Rou had some solutions to prevent her from sending the letter smoothly.

"Okay, then I'll rent a carriage tomorrow and go to that pier first." She put away the map and said.

After that, Tang Wudi took another bowl of medicine, and she went to rest.

The next morning, Zhuang Rou bought a carriage, after laying three beds of cotton wool, she bought a lot of kitchen utensils and a small stove for decocting medicine, and helped Tang Wudi onto the carriage. She drove the carriage to Dongpeng River in person.

It was already the next day when he arrived in Dongpeng River. Tang Wudi was sank by a carriage on the road and fell asleep for more than a day. If he continued like this, he might not be able to die in his dream at any time.

Zhuang Rou quickly rented a boat, lifted the person up, and decocted medicine into her mouth since the boat started, and finally dragged Tang Wudi back from the threshold of King Yama.

Tang Wudi slept in the old cabin with a pale face and said weakly: "Thank you, sister. If I hadn't, I might have died of illness on the road."

"I said a long time ago that you are so anxious to recover from your injuries in the inn before going on the road. Sister Tang. Why are you so anxious to rush to the road? If you don't take care of your health, how can you help the people get out of the dire straits?" Zhuang Rou blamed.

If he really dies, then no one will lead him to Qingliang Kingdom? Why is this young lady so willful and has to hold on if she is not healthy?

Tang Wudi didn't expect that it was just a hot thing, and he almost gave his life on the way. The medicine prescribed by the doctor in the town was not only the same as the medicine prescribed by the doctor, but it was also extremely bitter, which was far from that of the imperial doctor.

"We will make three rules later. When we encounter situations, we must listen to me, so that I will walk around the world a few years earlier than my sister. If you let you do anything, we will die one day." Zhuang Rou said seriously, "If you can't do it, I will send my sister to the inn and lock it up until the injury is healed."

When Tang Wudi heard this, she didn't want to stay in the inn, so she nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister when I encounter something."

Zhuang Rou covered her with a quilt and said seriously: "You have a good rest, the boat will not be bumpy like a carriage."

"Well, this carriage has left me half a life. I haven't suffered such hardships even though I have lived for so long." Tang Wudi was also very tired. Now it would be much more comfortable to change the boat.

The two of them were tired after rushing for a day and went to rest. Only the boatman was struggling upstream, hoping to get to Shuangmen Pass early.

Eight days later, the ship finally entered the Shuangjie River, and the situation of the countercurrent improved, and the river channel became much smoother.

Tang Wudi's health has improved a lot and can get out of bed and walk around, but she can't work hard. This disease has caused her torment and she will no longer be willing to do things like sleeping in the wild.

She felt uncomfortable after sleeping for a long time. She wore a piece of clothing and looked at the scenery on both sides of the shore with Zhuang Rou, but saw that there was only desolate scene around her.

Wherever there are villages in the distance, they are all in ruins, the fields are covered with dead grass, and there are also large traces of burning by fire. In some places, it can be seen that wars have been born in the past.

Zhuang Rou looked around and said casually: "It's so desolate. I don't remember when the last war between the two countries started. Fortunately, there were no corpses piled up on the ground, and there were no Jingguan piles up."

There are not many madmen who can build up Jingguan, so how can ordinary people do this?

However, before long after speaking, the narrow river turned around, and a large area of ​​tombs suddenly appeared on both sides, all of which were simply buried with mounds of soil. A board was erected in front of the more particular graves, with some blurred names written on them.

There are not even a board tombstone, only a pile of graves with weeds.

Looking around, I couldn't see the edge at first sight, and I don't know how many people were buried in the war. They may be soldiers or local people, and they just lie silently in the soil and turn into bones.

Tang Wudi had never seen such a scene before, and couldn't help but say in surprise, "It's so miserable."

Zhuang Rou has been a crowd of Jingguan and has seen people cheated by the dead. She muttered: "This is the case with war. People and soldiers suffer. Sometimes they can't fight."

"If everyone could sit down and negotiate, don't use swords and guns." Tang Wudi was also a girl, and he became soft-hearted at this time.

"Hehe." Zhuang Rou smiled, "We're here."

A small dock appeared in front of her, which seemed to be abandoned. There was a worn-out sign on the side of the dock, and the word "Double Door" could be vaguely seen on it.

The pier was broken and rotten and did not stop half of the boat, but several boats sank in the water, and some of the hulls poked out of the water from the turbid water, which was so rotten.

Tang Wudi pulled the clothes on his body and subconsciously stood behind Zhuang Rou, "Why is this place so scary? It feels a bit scary."

"It should be fine. In such a desolate place, even bandits should have starved to death." Zhuang Rou said, scanning her eyes and saying.
