290、The thorn(1/2)
In the dense forest, the stars were lit up on Tang Jin's camp.
"General!" Feng Shaohui exclaimed, "What's wrong with you?"
Tang Jin held the tree trunk and was dizzy. Feng Shaohui's face turned into countless people in front of him. Feng Shaohui was still shouting anxiously, "General, General?!"
Tang Jin closed his eyes hard and opened them again, barely maintaining his spirits, "I... I'm fine, how are they?"
"You are not good?" Feng Shaohui was so anxious. "You can't stand firmly, you are hot and sweating all over... Don't force yourself, go to the tent over there and lie down and rest for a while."
Tang Jin was already weak and could only let Feng Shaohui help him into the clean tent and put it down.
Tang Jin half-bumped, "How many days have the news been spread?"
"It's been almost ten days since today. Just counting on the way, General Liao Shen rushed over after receiving the news."
Tang Jin nodded with difficulty, "Still persist... hold on for a few more days..."
"Yes." Feng Shaohui looked entangled and said hatefully: "It must be that there is something wrong with the medicine they gave!"
After Tang Jin came back from the camp, he immediately decocted the medicine that Xu Zhong brought to the sick cavalry. However, the cavalry's condition did not improve, but became worse and worse. After a few days, the group of people were infected one after another, and even Tang Jin saw cold and heat.
Tang Jin took a sip of water to moisten his throat with the cup that Feng Shaohui gave him, and then said a little awkwardly: "There is no medicine to cut off the roots of this disease. It's only a matter of time before our team gets together day and night... Now, the message has been sent. Liao Ying will bring Mr. Han when he comes. Han Ye has excellent medical skills, so we will definitely not be able to do anything... But you... so many people in the camp are sick, but you are still alive. You kid are very blessed..."
Feng Shaohui was stunned for a moment, "This...maybe because I suffered from the deadly cold and heat disease when I was young... The old man said that some diseases only occur once in their life, and as long as they pass once, they will never get them again... Well, general, don't waste your energy when you talk, rest well, and guard everyone with the young!"
"good--"
Tang Jin slowly closed his eyes, and the countless guilt in his heart condensed, turning into a bitter smile on his lips.
It’s all his fault. If he hadn’t insisted on finding Feng Changqing and Tang Wei in Meicheng, no one would have been infected with the epidemic. Now everyone is struggling on the line of life and death.
He remembered that when he was in Hailing, he was exploited by someone for Feng Changqing and led his personal soldiers out of Beimen Pass to die tragically, and Bao Yue died suddenly. How long has it been? He who has lived for two lifetimes will actually lose his life and his personal soldiers who are also afraid of it...
It's so stupid!
He was both hated and annoyed.
But now he can only endure it. However, he cannot walk around at will, otherwise he will spread it elsewhere, and he will not go to Feng Changqing.
Ah Qing, how are you doing now?
There is no moon in the dark night, and in the dense forest, one or two birds are shocked.
Tang Jin suddenly sat up, "What's wrong?"
Feng Shaohui's alert voice came from outside: "It seems that there is movement. It may be some animal. Don't worry, General. I'm here, it's okay."
Tang Jin felt a chill. They had been camping here for half a month. It would have been a long time since there were any wild animals. They had not had one before, but now they did not have one. How could such a coincidence happen?
Tang Jin struggled to get up and reached out to take the snake spear with him, but found that his hands were weak and he had lost a lot of energy before he could barely pull the snake spear over. The sound of swords and weapons intersecting was already heard outside.
Tang Jin opened the tent and saw a group of masked men in black in their hands, slashing at their personal soldiers.
Most of these personal soldiers were infected with cold and fever, and were not strong enough. Several of them were injured in an instant. Feng Shaohui was overwhelmed and soon died.
Tang Jin carried the snake spear and forced himself to force his spirits. He killed several people who rushed forward to kill him, and shouted with all his strength: "Retreat quickly-"
Although he was also infected with cold and fever, his body was always good. He could block a wave of attack with all his strength.
When they first selected a camping site, they chose a hidden and difficult place to retreat. They had prepared defensive stones around the tent. At this time, they used those stones to smash the man in black who surrounded him, and then hurriedly retreated on the hillside behind the camp when the man in black was slacking off.
They were all well-trained heavily armored cavalrymen. Even if they were sick, their physical fitness was better than ordinary soldiers. They retreated and fought with those people.
When he arrived in front of a hidden valley with huge rocks, the man in black found that there was no one in front of him.
"What's going on? Why is there no one?"
"There are more than a dozen of them, and they will never disappear out of thin air. Chase me!"
A few conversations came from the men in black, and someone chased after the huge rock, but they didn't expect that the few people screamed after entering the huge rock.
"Not good-" said a man in black: "The stone is very loose, they are pressed under the stone."
Several people who were pressed by the stone shouted for help, and their bodies subconsciously moved, trying to break free.
The leader of the man in black said, "Don't move!" They were on the downhill position, with the stones on it, and kept shaking with several people who were pressed down. Once the huge rock slid down, they either died or were injured.
"Save the person out first, be careful!"
"yes."
...
Tang Jin and his men retreated into the valley.
Feng Shaohui was panting: "Fortunately the general was prepared, otherwise we would have to give our lives here today."
"Okay..." Tang Jin's breath was also unstable, "Stop talking about this, go to the place he agreed with Liao Ying."
"yes."
Feng Shaohui held Tang Jin with one hand and other injured brothers with the other hand, and whispered: "General, who do you think will be the one who will attack us?"
This temporary camp was originally built for a stay, but just in case, Tang Jin also prepared a follow-up move.
Hearing Feng Shaohui's words, Tang Jin smiled coldly, "We are here, and only they know about the entire Huaihai area in western Hunan. Do you still need to ask this question?"
Feng Shaohui was silent.
...
When the sky was gray and about to be bright, it suddenly started to rain.
Lan Cheng stood neatly at the door of his camp, raised his hand to block the raindrops in the sky, and looked worried at the gray sky.
The doctor said that if the weather is always bright and sunny, the plague will pass soon, but now it has only been clear for a few days and it has started to rain again. When will it be the beginning if this continues?
"Lan Cheng!" Pei Zhihu walked over.
"You are back!" Lan Cheng's face was a little happy.
After Lan Cheng brought his men to station outside Meicheng, Pei Zhihu was always in charge of food and grass. He went back to Bingzhou to transport grain half a month ago. He thought it would take a while to come back, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Pei Zhihu wiped a little rain from his face and laughed, "Accident? I increased my speed along the way, and I almost flew over directly." After saying that, he suddenly became serious, "I heard that you saved a girl and were in the camp. What's going on? It's a business to station in Meicheng. Now that Meicheng's affairs are not over, you left a girl in the camp and refused to leave. This is not like you."
Lan Cheng sighed leisurely, "Look."
Pei Zhihu followed his gaze and looked at the stable not far away. It was early morning. It was not so bright, it was gray, and it was raining again. Her vision was unclear. Pei Zhihu looked at it for a while but couldn't figure it out, "What are you asking me to see? There is nothing?"
"..." Lan Chengyimo explained patiently: "Did you see that there was a horse standing alone in the stable, black, tall and straight."
"Is that?" Pei Zhihu nodded: "After you mentioned it, I also found that it was a good horse. It looks different from the ones we ride. Its bones are bigger and taller, and its horse's hair is very soft."
"That's the good horse that holds the moon."
"The one who hugged the moon..." Pei Zhihu was just talking, and suddenly stopped talking: "It's Hu Yue... Miss Feng's mount is also a good horse that hugged the moon, and it seems to be black when you talk about it. Could it be..." He looked at Lan Cheng in shock, "Don't tell me, this girl in the camp is Miss Feng!"
"That's right." They are all brothers who have been through life and death, and Lan Cheng didn't hide it. "I happened to save her."
Pei Zhihu was stunned for a while, "She...didn't she say she got married? Why was she here? She couldn't have had something to come here, right?"
"I don't know yet, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You have worked hard all the way here, so go and rest first."
Since those two times, Lan Cheng was suspected by King Anding because of Feng Changqing, the people around him have somewhat avoided Feng Changqing. Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Pei Zhihu stopped mentioning it and nodded: "Okay—"
"Ouch--"
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from a tent not far away.
"What's wrong?" Pei Zhihu asked.
Lan Cheng frowned, "You go and rest first, I'll go over and take a look."
"Okay, I'm really tired, you go." Pei Zhihu patted Lan Cheng's shoulder and left with a smile.
Lan Cheng walked towards the tent with great strides. When he walked outside the tent, he heard screams inside and laughed a lot, and the conversation between Xu Zhong and the medical officer also came out.
Xu Zhong said: "Doctor, how is his injury?"
"Oh, it's not serious. It's just that the legs were crushed by the stone. The rescue was promptly done and the bones were not damaged. But as the saying goes, if you hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days, you have to cultivate well for a period of time."
"Where are the other people?"
"They are not seriously injured, I will treat them seriously."
"Then I'll bother the doctor."
Xu Zhong said some comforting words, allowing the injured people to rest well, and then left the account. When he saw Lan Cheng standing outside the account, he was stunned for a moment, and his expression quickly returned to normal, "Acheng, why did you get up so early?"
"I can't sleep, so I get up a little early. What's wrong with them?"
Xu Zhong sighed, "I also heard the tip that some people who were infected with the plague in Meicheng escaped. I took people to chase him. However, when I got to the mountain, I encountered the rocks loose, and fell and injured several people."
Lan Cheng's expression changed slightly, "Someone escaped from the city? Have you caught it?"
"I didn't catch anyone, I will take someone in later and check it carefully."
"Yes." Lan Cheng emphasized his head and said, "I had received a secret letter from the prince the day before yesterday... This disease must not spread anywhere else. No matter who is going out, it must be retrieved, otherwise the consequences will not be within our control."
"I know." After Xu Zhong said that, he glanced at the direction of the tent not far away, "I just saw Xiao Pei. Has the escort of food and grass been smooth this time?"
“It should go smoothly.”
