Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Gao Qian wanted to say something else, but he saw two men riding horses, one in front and one behind, coming towards him.

"His Majesty."

It was Wang Tingyue and Xiaowu.

Gao Qian raised his hand and then dropped it back to its original place without making a sound.

Liang Qian didn't notice it. She lowered her head and took out a small bottle from her pouch, poured out a few brown pills, and put them into Gao Qian's hand.

Gao Qian looked at the pill in his palm. This new pill tasted extremely bad.

Liang Qian knew it as soon as she saw his expression, and said, "Dr. Chen's medical skills are amazing. This is a new and improved prescription we came up with after trying it several times a few days ago. The effect should be very good, but the taste is indeed - but good medicine tastes bitter."

Gao Qian looked at her suspiciously and snorted, "Even if it can be made delicious, you still won't be willing to do it."

That's a very accurate point.

Liang Qian nodded, very calmly: "Yes, so you have no choice."

After saying that, he ignored him and stood up to greet Wang Tingyue.

Gao Qian looked at the pills in his hand, then at Liang Qian, feeling melancholy but helpless. He slowly lowered his eyes, smiled silently, and then put the pills into his mouth and swallowed them one by one.

Good medicine tastes bitter...

Whether it is bitter or sweet can only be known through comparison.

So, it’s not that bitter.

Wang Tingyue's body had not recovered yet. After all this tossing and turning, his face turned a little pale.

Liang Qian walked closer: "Take your time to talk."

Wang Tingyue looked solemn, but didn't know how to start.

Liang Qian felt heavy-hearted when she saw him like this.

Gao Qian raised his eyebrows and took a look, as if he had expected it.

"No problem, go ahead."

Wang Tingyue then said, "There are traces of fighting in the river valley ahead. Xiao Wu and I investigated along the way and found many corpses on the river beach."

Liang Qian was surprised: "Corpse? Could it be that General Pei..."

Wang Tingyue shook his head and said, "I didn't see General Pei. They were dressed in cloth and their faces were destroyed. Although I couldn't tell their appearance, I carefully checked their hands and feet, as well as the old wounds on their bodies. It can be seen that they are not ordinary people. They are indeed marchers and warriors. It is very likely that they came to support us. General Pei had a leg injury, and no one with a leg injury was found among the dead. In addition, there are several bodies of men in black-"

Having said this, he stopped, looked at Liang Qian, and took out a small piece of cloth from his arms.

Liang Qian frowned.

This is?

When she saw the small emblem embroidered on it, her eyes narrowed. This was clearly Zhou...

Liang Qian shook her head and denied it very firmly: "It's impossible. He doesn't have to do that."

Gao Qian frowned and thought, but said nothing.

Wang Tingyue looked at Liang Qian's determined eyes and nodded, "I don't think so either. Since it wasn't him, it could have been someone else. After all, it would be hard to explain to Lord Zhou if we were released like this. They might have concerns and not be able to attack us directly, but at least they can force us to go back...

Of course, this is just my guess based on the fact that the men in black are Zhou people. It is hard to say whether they are Zhou people or not. Perhaps they are disguised by people with ulterior motives. It is not easy to draw a conclusion before it is clarified.

It would be nice if there were any survivors.”

Wang Tingyue thought for a moment and said, "However, compared to the truth, I think the most urgent thing is for Your Majesty to leave here as soon as possible. Before we find out where the man in black came from, our current situation is not safe."

Liang Qian also understood it in her heart.

Maybe the man in black has already discovered their whereabouts.

Gao Qian stood up and said, "Let's go."

Seeing this, Qian Ming, who was leaning against the carriage, hurried over and helped Gao Qian into the carriage.

Qian Ming was responsible for driving the carriage.

Inside the car, Gao Qian leaned against the cushion and closed his eyes to rest.

Liang Qian leaned against the window, holding a map in her hand, looking at the map and then looking out the window.

It's not that they don't want to take a detour, it's because the river valley is the only way to go. Other places can't be passed by carriages, even horses can't go through.

After walking for a while, we saw the river valley that Wang Tingyue had mentioned.

The valley road is difficult to walk on, as it is full of large and small stones.

The carriage was swaying as it moved.

We continued walking along the gravel road and came to a river beach where many bloody corpses were lying. Their faces were unrecognizable and their deaths were extremely tragic.

Liang Qian was frightened and felt a chill down her spine just by looking at it from a distance.

Who on earth could have done this? The means were so vicious!

"General! There seems to be someone over there!"

Suddenly, Xiao Wu, who was riding on the horse, let out a low cry.

Liang Qian put down the map, leaned out of the window, and looked in the direction of his finger.

Gao Qian also opened his eyes and pursed his lips.

At this time, I just hope that the person I meet is a friend rather than an enemy.

The carriage stopped.

With Wang Tingyue's permission, Xiao Wu jumped off his horse and went straight into the bushes.

Just now he saw clearly from his horse that the bushes were moving. Now that he was closer, he saw that there was indeed a person lying there, but not moving.

Half-hidden, it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe.

Xiao Wu took out the short knife from his arms, held the knife in his hand and moved forward step by step.

Just as he took a step with his right foot, the man in the bushes suddenly leaped up and chopped down at his face with his hand.

Xiao Wu dodged narrowly, swung his left hand, and was about to stab the man with the blade in his right hand.

"Xiao Wu?"

The man cried out, as if he couldn't believe it.

Xiao Wu took a closer look and quickly put away his knife: "Sun Hu! Why are you here?"

Sun Hu was injured and Xiao Wu held his arm, causing him to cry out in pain.

Xiao Wu quickly let go of his hand, a little embarrassed: "Why are you hiding here? If I hadn't stopped in time, you would have died!"

While he was talking, Wang Tingyue also came over.

"what happened?"

Seeing Wang Tingyue, Sun Hu bowed his head and saluted: "General, it was General Pei who sent us to pick us up. But last night when we were resting here, we were attacked by men in black. Those men in black were very skilled in martial arts, and we were no match for them. I fainted afterwards. Maybe it was because it was dark and the grass was thick, so I luckily escaped."

Wang Tingyue frowned and stared at him. He indeed had several wounds all over his body.

"Why didn't you come out when we came here just now?"

Sun Hu touched his nose and explained ashamedly: "Just now I heard someone, but I was still confused at that time. I was also afraid that it was the man in black who had returned, so when I heard the footsteps, I didn't dare to get up to check..."

He spoke and breathed, the pain was unbearable.

Xiao Wu supported him and said to Wang Tingyue: "General, let's leave here quickly!"

As he said that, he went outside into the bushes.

Wang Tingyue fell behind and looked down at the traces left on the ground.

Liang Qian had already jumped off the carriage and was waiting on the roadside. When she saw Sun Hu, she frowned.

"Where's Pei Yao?"

Sun Hu saluted with great pain and said, "General Pei has to settle the wounded soldiers and civilians, so he can't spare time, so he can only send us here, but I didn't expect..."

He lowered his head and choked.

Liang Qian: "You have fought with them before, do you know who did it?"

Sun Hu frowned and thought for a while: "I don't know either. But from the way they speak, they don't sound like Qi people. They sound more like Zhou people. But I'm not sure."

"Zhou people?" Liang Qian nodded and stared at him: "Did you hear what they said?"

Sun Hu shook his head slowly, then suddenly paused.
