This ice is not the thick ice on the ice sheet, and it is still passable from above.
Gu Jiao frowned: "Then we can only travel by land... But is there time by land? No matter, we have to leave before it's too late!"
She paused and said, "Call someone from the Shadow Department over here!"
"Yes!"
Hearing people rushed down.
Most of the Shadow Department followed Liao Chen to the Jin Kingdom, and there were not many people left in the camp. The shadow guard who was called by Wen Renchong was named Cen and Yang. It was specially arranged by Liao Chen in the camp for Gu Jiao to contact him. of.
Cen Yang bowed to Gu Jiao: "Little Commander."
Everyone in the camp called her the commander-in-chief. At first, she didn't understand it and thought it was a matter of accent. Everyone called her the commander-in-chief Xiao, but it was too late to order her to change her tune later.
Simply leave them alone.
Gu Jiao asked, "The Shadow Department once stayed in Zhao Kingdom. Is there a dark post along the way?"
"Yes, there are people from the Shadow Department near each station. Is the little commander trying to find out any news?"
"I want to send something to the capital of Zhao Kingdom as soon as possible!"
"The capital of Zhao Kingdom?" Cen Yang came to the table, looked at the map on the table, pointed, and said, "It is the fastest way to travel by water from Tongzhou Port, but unfortunately Tongzhou Water Bay was frozen last night... Went to Yunzhou, the water bay in Yunzhou has not yet frozen, but looking at the weather, I am afraid it will be soon."
Gu Jiao murmured, "Do you mean to board the ship before Yunzhou Bay freezes?"
Cen Yang nodded: "Yes, the water near the port is shallow and the flow speed is slow, and it is most likely to freeze, but the center of the river is not so fast."
Gu Jiao said sternly, "I see, I'm going to Yunzhou now!"
From here to Yunzhou, it is a full three hundred miles. In such bad weather, the difficulty of rushing will increase.
She had to pick the most suitable horse.
The Black Wind King seemed to feel something, and he came to the door of the tent without hesitation.
But she can no longer ride Heifeng King. Heifeng King has gone through more than ten battles since he came to the border. Especially in the duel that captured the south gate of Pucheng, he was seriously injured. .
After that, it did not rest immediately, but fought alongside her for a long time.
She couldn't let it go on an adventure anymore.
Gu Jiao went to the stable.
The Black Wind Cavalry was the earliest and most elite and powerful force in Xuanyuan's army, but before the arrival of reinforcements, this force had fought so many times to the death that it was already scarred.
The war horses in their prime need a rest.
But the moment Gu Jiao walked in, all the war horses immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
They can fight again!
Gu Jiao pinched her fingers.
"Little Commander..." Wen Renchong brought a ten-year-old warhorse, "Let it be, it only fought one battle, suffered a little injury, and has since recovered."
Gu Jiao asked, "Isn't there a horse that hasn't been hurt before?"
Wen Renchong said: "Yes, they have all gone to the front line, or it's those little black wind riders who are too young to consign grain and grass."
At this moment, a three-year-old Heifeng dashed over and stomped in front of Gu Jiao, as if showing his strength to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao recognized it.
It was the little black wind rider who fell into the waterfall while crossing the mountains. The black wind king rescued it in time, but the food and grass on its back disappeared.
It was very frustrated until Gu Jiao put the herbs she had picked on her horse's back.
"It's only been two months, and it seems to have grown a lot." Gu Jiao checked its body and found that it was very strong. Although it was only over three years old, its texture was full of explosive strength.
"Little Heifengqi, it's up to you whether you can deliver the antidote to the boat before the ice freezes."
…
Three hundred miles away from Yunzhou, the little black wind rider maximized his speed.
The winter is severe, snow is falling everywhere, the roads are dangerous and difficult, Xiaoheifeng slipped a few times and almost split, and the hairs were blown up!
But it didn't fear, it didn't flinch, it didn't even slow down.
Facing the whistling cold wind, it galloped almost to fly on the official road with no end in sight.
In terms of aptitude, it is not the best. The best aptitude horses Gu Jiao has seen so far are Heifeng Wang and Xiao Shi.
However, this little black wind cavalry has the will to not admit defeat and the fighting spirit that does not bend.
Halfway through, one person and one horse also fell, and without saying a word, it got up and continued!
It continued to run wildly with Gu Jiao!
In the snow, it is its own king!
Three hundred miles of wind and snow rushed, even the uninjured Heifeng Wang would be a little overwhelmed.
Little Black Wind Rider's physical strength was gradually exhausted.
Gu Jiao's hands were already frozen, her cheeks and lips were numb, and she couldn't speak easily: "Little Heifengqi, hold on, Yunzhou is coming!"
Xiao Heifengqi gasped, gritted his teeth, swayed his body, and rushed towards the city tower of Yunzhou like a flying arrow—
…
On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the capital of Zhao Kingdom snowed all night.
When Yu Jin woke up before dawn, she almost couldn't even open the door.
"Is there such a big snow? Blocked the door... Someone!" she called.
A rough maid came with a shovel, shoveled away the snow and ice in front of her door, and opened the door for her: "I was talking about coming to shovel snow, I never thought you would get up so early."
Yu Jin didn't mean to blame her. It was indeed because she woke up early. She looked in the direction of the south wing and asked softly, "Has the young master woke up?"
The servant girl said: "It seems that there is no, the servant did not hear the movement."
Yu Jin nodded: "Got it, go and do your job."
"Eh." The maid went to sweep the snow in the yard, moving very lightly, without disturbing anyone.
In the south wing, Shangguan Qing woke up early. Last night, the mother and son talked too late, and after midnight, Princess Xinyang couldn't resist the drowsiness of pregnancy and fell asleep.
Shangguan Qing didn't take the antidote from the National Teacher's Hall, so he was suffering from the poison in his body, and he couldn't close his eyes for a moment.
Of course, he didn't want to close his eyes.
He quietly looked at Princess Xinyang beside him.
This is his mother, the woman who brought him into this world after being locked away in the gate of hell in ten months of pregnancy.
She is very gentle.
Although it may be very strict, but I don't have a chance to feel it, right
It was almost dawn, and the increasingly uncomfortable body reminded him to leave here as soon as possible.
"Faster than expected..."
On the way here, I thought there were still three days left, and when I ate dinner, I felt that there was only one day left.
but now-
He covered his heart.
It's going to explode here, and he's almost out of breath.
"elder brother."
Xiao Heng's low voice came from outside the door.
Shangguan Qing wanted to answer him, but he was afraid of waking up Princess Xinyang.
"I'm in." Xiao Heng said.
The door was pushed open, and Xiao Heng stepped in.
He saw Shangguan Qing who was sitting on the head of the bed in a cold sweat, his face was unbelievably pale, his lips were black, and he was shivering all over.
Xiao Heng's eyes sank, he strode forward, and hugged Shangguan Qing, who had fallen down from the head of the bed.
Shangguan Qing lay in his arms and said weakly, "Take... I'll go... "
Xiao Heng hugged him, looked at Princess Xinyang on the bed with her eyes wide open, biting her fingers to prevent herself from crying, her throat slid hard: "...Okay, I'll take you away."
Xiao Heng helped Shangguan Qing up, put his hand on his neck, and walked towards the door step by step.
Just as he crossed the threshold, Shangguan Qing's body softened and he slipped down.
Xiao Heng hurriedly hugged him: "Brother!"
"Qing'er-"
All of Princess Xinyang's strength was shattered in this fall, she could no longer agree to his request, she didn't want him to die outside!
Don't let him turn into a cold corpse where no one is!
She rushed over, knelt on the ground and hugged Shangguan Qing, who was dying like a puppet.
"Qing'er... don't go... don't leave mother... don't... don't... "
Hot tears fell on his cheeks and fell on his eyes.
A tear rolled down his eyes.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Can't be your son anymore.
I don't regret being born by you.
Thank you for bringing me into this world.
The room is so nice.
I love so much.
Princess Xinyang hugged her son tightly, she felt that she was losing him, her heart was broken, and tears fell desperately: "Qinger-Qinger-"
Xiao Heng turned around, his eyes were red and swollen.
Yu Jin stood outside the door and covered her mouth tightly, but she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.
Why... why is God so cruel
The princess only met the young master for a day, and she lost him again—
How many times did the princess go through the pain of bereavement
Yu Jin cried out in grief.
The servants in the yard turned their faces away and secretly wiped away their tears.
There is nothing crueler than this...
Clang!
The door of the yard was kicked open by someone, and because of the force, the whole door was overwhelmed on the bonsai planted by Princess Xinyang.
The servants were about to shout loudly when the man walked in in a cluttered manner: "His Royal Highness Zhang (Chang) Sun! An (I) satirized (Bong) Xiao (Xiao) Commander-in-Chief (Yao) came to die!"
All the servants were stunned, where are these words...
The master of the Shadow Department cleared his throat: "No! It was ordered by the commander-in-chief of Xiao (little) to deliver it (medicine)! I'm in a hurry, my mouth is sloppy!"
"Bring it here!" Xiao Heng understood, he couldn't wait for the other party to send it over, so he walked over by himself.
The Shadow Department master had seen his portrait and handed him the medicine.
A total of two bottles of medicine, and a note.
The note reads - first feed the white fruit in the white jade bottle, and if there is no improvement, then feed the brown pills in the jade bottle.
It is Gu Jiao's handwriting.
Without any doubt or hesitation, Xiao Heng ran into the room, pried open his brother's mouth, and fed him the white fruit.
Xiao Heng looked solemn: "He can't eat it!"
"Let me come!"
The master of the Shadow Department rushed over, slapped Shangguan Qing on the chest with a palm, and the fruit slid into his belly.
Princess Xinyang looked at the Shadow Division master in surprise, then turned to look at Xiao Heng, and asked in a daze: "What did you eat for your brother?"
Xiao Heng replied: "The medicine sent by Jiaojiao..."
It can't be called an antidote right now, because it doesn't necessarily work.
If it doesn't work, then Shangguan Qing still has to take the poison of comfrey.
What about nine deaths and one life, it is only ten thousand deaths.
And who knows what side effects will happen to those who survive
Shangguan Qing, you must get better.
When you are healed, I will call your brother as many times as you want.
The person in Princess Xinyang's arms did not respond.
Xiao Heng trembled and picked up the jade porcelain vase. Next, he could only try the purple grass poison...
"Hey, hey! Knock (look)!" The Shadow Department master pointed at Shangguan Qing's finger, "He moved! He moved!"
The mother and son looked at his fingertips in unison.
Although very faint, it did move.
The master of the Shadow Department stared at his face and said, "Yintang is also (not) so overwhelmed (black)!"
Princess Xinyang looked at Xiao Heng with tears in her eyes, choked up and said, "I don't understand what he said..."
Xiao Heng, however, showed a relieved smile for the first time in a month: "He said that my brother's Yintang is no longer black... This is a sign that the poison in the body is gradually reducing... The comfrey fruit has worked... There is no need to eat the comfrey poison..."
The emotions in his chest were tumbling, and it was even more stormy than when Shangguan Qing was dying.
It was an endlessly suppressed sadness, like an iceberg that couldn't be melted under the sun. At this time, the iceberg cracked open, and joy spurted out from the ground like lava.
His internal organs were hot.
"It really is… "
He slumped on the ground, raised his hand in disbelief, and wiped his red eyes.
After Yintang faded to a certain extent, he stopped moving.
"What's going on here?" Princess Xinyang's eyes were red, like an overly frightened child, "and why is Qing'er still awake..."
"At the end (not) so fast!" said the master of the Shadow Department. "The poisoning is too deep, so we have to take it slow. Are there many fruits?"
Xiao Heng looked at the full bottle: "More!"
The master of the Shadow Department said: "That's enough! Feed him this (eat) every day, and Zong (total) can wake up!"
Xiao Heng carried Shangguan Qing back to the bed.
If he doesn't wake up, he will still need comfrey poison, he thought.
After half an hour, Shangguan Qing's breathing became smoother than before, his face was still pale, but the frowning brows due to the pain stretched a lot.
This shows that his discomfort has greatly eased.
Xiao Heng speculated that he was still in a drowsiness, largely not because the toxins in his body could not be eliminated, but because he had been tortured by the poison for too long, and he had not been able to sleep well.
Not so uncomfortable now, he fell asleep peacefully.
Xiao Heng said to Princess Xinyang who was sitting beside the bed with her stomach stretched out, "Mother, don't worry, this kind of fruit has a very good curative effect and my brother will definitely recover."
"Yeah." Princess Xinyang nodded with tears in her eyes. She felt that Qinger was returning to her side.
The joy of this kind of lost and found is indescribable. She has already lost Qing'er once, and if she loses it a second time, she herself knows that she can't survive.
Her throat was hoarse, her eyes were swollen, and she was embarrassed to describe it.
It is rude to entertain guests like this.
She said to Xiao Heng: "That master, thank him on behalf of your mother, just because she was sad and ignored his injuries, his face seemed to be disfigured, and the imperial doctor came over in a while and asked the imperial doctor to help him as well. Look at it."
"it is good."
His mother is really attentive.
The grief was so grief, and the power of observation was not affected. It was just that I couldn't recall it at the time. When I calmed down and picked it up again, I would be able to perceive that something was wrong.
This is a very valuable ability.
The master of the Shadow Department was waiting under the corridor. He had to return to his life in a while, and he must know the specific situation of Shangguan Qing.
Xiao Heng walked out of the room, cupped his hands to him, and said, "Thank you very much today, I haven't asked your honorable name yet."
The Shadow Department master scratched his head: "I'm sorry for breaking Nen's (you) door..."
Xiao Heng smiled: "It's okay. You are injured, go to the flower hall first, the imperial doctor will come soon."
Yu Jin has already gone to the imperial doctor to check on Shangguan Qing's recovery, and second, to check on the guest's injuries.
The master of the Shadow Department waved his hand: "I'm going to be four at the end (it's okay)! My name is Gao Qiang, a strong martial artist! Your Highness, the patient's situation... I have to reply!"
Gu Jiao didn't say who the medicine was delivered to. The people from the Shadow Department were only responsible for doing things and would not inquire about it without authorization.
He said seriously: "Nen called his brother, I didn't hear it!"
Xiao Heng laughed, it was okay to hear it. After so many things, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether the identities of the two of them were hidden or not.
He said, "It's better to wait for the imperial doctor to come over first, and after listening to the specific diagnosis of the imperial doctor, you can return to your life."
Gao Qiang thought for a while, then nodded: "In!"
Xiao Heng looked out of the yard and asked, "By the way, didn't my father come back with you?"
"Tender father?" Gao Qiang said in his heart that Dayan Huang's eldest grandson still has a father? Haven't heard it in years!
He replied, "At the end of the day! I came here alone! Before me, it was also delivered by myself! I didn't see Daddy at the end!"
"Strange, how could he ask someone else for something as important as an antidote?" The more Xiao Heng thought about it, the more strange he felt.
It's not that the people in the Shadow Department are unreliable, it's just that this is not in line with his father's usual temperament.
Inside the house, Princess Xinyang was wiping the sweat from Shangguanqing's forehead with a handkerchief. She heard the words and paused.
Gao Qiang suddenly slapped his brain with a slap: "Ah! I remember it! Thanks to you for reminding me! Otherwise, I would have forgotten! I'll send you a letter with Yo!"
He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng thought it was Gu Jiao's letter, but when he opened it, he found that it was Long Yi's handwriting.
Long Yi drew a glacier with charcoal.
Beneath the glacier was a man with blood on his hands and visible bones.
Xiao Heng's heart was suddenly grabbed by a big palm—
"What happened?"
Princess Xinyang came out.
Xiao Heng hid the painting behind him without a trace, looked at the haggard mother who was about to give birth, clenched his fists and said with restraint, "...It's nothing."
Princess Xinyang looked at Gao Qiang.
Gao Qiang didn't feel sorry, and said honestly: "Oh, Zou is the one who went to the icefield to find yo (medicine), he died and can't come back!"
Princess Xinyang's expression froze.
Marquis Xuan Ping [picks up a cigarette]: Cry for Ye, and Ye will come back to see you.
