After bidding farewell to Jiangling, Gu Fang led the army towards Yizhou.

Jiang Ling got out of the main road and stood aside to watch him off. He didn't see the figure of the person who had run away from home until the procession of [-] people had passed from the beginning to the end.

"My lord, do you want to follow?" Someone quietly walked behind Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling looked at the direction where the team disappeared, and sighed silently: "Take a few people to follow, don't let him find out."

"Yes."

Since Jun Ruohan and Jiang Tong were in the team as small soldiers, Gu Fang ordered them with peace of mind in order to vent his anger.

Take a break.

As soon as Jun Ruohan sat down, someone kicked his butt from behind. He was really shocked. No one dared to use his feet to greet his ass when he was so big.

"Go and get some dry food for General Ben." Gu Fang lowered his eyelids and looked down at him with a bit of impatience.

Jun Ruohan stared blankly, seeing that he didn't intend to joke, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go get him dry food.

Seeing this, Jiang Tong snickered beside him, and before he finished laughing, he also got kicked on the buttocks: "What are you doing, go get some water for this general."

Jiang Tong jumped up clutching his buttocks, and said unconvinced: "The water is on your horse, you can get it when you turn around."

"Aren't you going? If you don't obey the order, go back now." Gu Fang narrowed his eyes, and Jiang Tong had no choice but to turn around embarrassingly and go get him some water.

The three of them held a cold and hard pancake, and ate it from a pot of throat-piercing cold water.

Gu Fang and Jiang Tong are okay, they are both people who have suffered this kind of hardship, and they also know that if they don’t eat it, it will only be more uncomfortable to go on an empty stomach.

But Jun Ruohan was different. He was used to rich clothes and fine food since he was a child, but this change was a bit drastic, which made him somewhat unacceptable.

I took a bite of the dry biscuit, almost broke my teeth, finally took a bite off, drank a sip of cold water and swallowed it, and shivered again, no matter what I said, I didn't want to take a second bite.

Gu Fang finished eating the pancakes in two or three strokes, looked at the pancakes he took a bite out of in his hand and said, "Don't you want to eat?"

Jun Ruohan frowned: "I can't eat anymore."

"Give it to me, I'm not full yet." Gu Fang took the dry biscuit in his hand that was as hard as a rock and ate it without saying a word.

Jun Ruohan just thought he was hungry and didn't think much about it. Jiang Tong watched while eating, but knew that Gu Fang was deliberately messing with him.

If I don’t eat now, I’m sure I’ll be so hungry that I’ll call my father and mother when I’m on my way.

That's right, no one should be angry if this matter is left on him, and he ran here without saying a word or discussing with himself.

"Are you still hungry?" Jun Ruohan saw that he finished eating the cake in his hand in a short while, thinking that he was really hungry, so he couldn't help asking.

Gu Fang glanced at him and stood up: "You should worry more about yourself!"

Jun Ruohan watched him get on the horse, knowing that he was still angry with him.

"Huang... Brother Zhanqing, I'd like to give you a trick." Jiang Tong couldn't stand it any longer, and whispered in his ear.

Jun Ruohan was dubious: "Is this possible?"

"Trust me, I'm right." Jiang Tong swallowed the last mouthful of dry biscuits, and gulped down a mouthful of cold water.

This is the first time for Jun Ruohan to deeply understand how tiring and hard it is for the army to rush to the rescue. After eating a mouthful of dry biscuits and drinking a mouthful of cold water at noon, he never rested in the middle.

It is probably the first time in his life of more than 20 years that he has experienced the uncomfortable feeling of not having food in his stomach.

Not to mention the delicacy in the palace right now, he even misses the dry biscuit at noon.

From time to time, Gu Fang used his peripheral vision to check on Jun Ruohan's situation, only to see that his waist was not straightened, and his speed slowed down.

Hmph, this time I have tasted the bitterness!

In winter, it gets dark early, Gu Fang prolongs the journey, and insists on rushing for another hour in the dark, and then orders to set up camp and rest on the spot.

But who knows, just as he got off the horse, before he had time to turn around, he suddenly heard a plop behind him and the sound of something heavy falling.

Gu Fang looked back, and saw Jun Ruohan lying on the ground with his eyes closed and not moving.

"Zhanqing..." He couldn't care less about getting angry with him right now, he rushed to the person, pulled him into his arms, and patted his face, "Wake up, wake up..."

Jiang Tong pretended to be nervous and leaned forward: "Maybe he fainted from hunger. He ate a bite of pancakes at noon and hurried all afternoon. His body must not be able to take it."

Gu Anxin blamed himself, and picked him up by the waist. Of course, Jun Ruohan's body and weight were still a bit difficult for him.

He wobbled a few times, then stood firm, carried the man to the fire that had just been set up, and ordered Jiang Tong to boil hot water.

Just as Jiang Tong wanted to refuse, he remembered his current identity, so he could only work silently.

Gu Fang held Jun Ruohan's head up and pillowed it on his lap, and rubbed his face vigorously with his hands until his face was red and hot, and he refused to stop: "Wake up... "

Jun Ruohan slowly opened his eyes a crack, he was afraid that if he didn't open his eyes again, the skin on his face would be rubbed off by him.

"Are you awake? You scared me to death," Gu Fang couldn't help being excited when he saw him open his eyes, and shouted at Jiang Tong, "Hurry up, give me the hot water."

Just as Jiang Tong wanted to sneak a sip of hot water, someone caught him, so he had no choice but to pass the water to him.

After feeding people water, and making cakes with hot water for Jun Ruohan to eat, Jun Ruohan felt that it was almost done, and got up from the human lap and sat down.

"What else is uncomfortable?" Gu Fang stared at him nervously.

The latter nodded his head: "It's not comfortable here."

Before Gu Fang had time to react, Jiang Tong was one step ahead of him, stood up with a whoosh, and walked away with a disgusted expression on his face holding the bowl and cakes.

Tired and crooked, annoying or not...

"What happened to him?" Gu Fang was a little confused.

"Be jealous!" Jun Ruohan didn't care much.

"Ah?" What are you jealous of?

"Don't talk about him, are you still angry that I came with you?" Jun Ruohan asked tentatively.

Speaking of this, he couldn't blame him if he was not angry: "Do you two think that my life is long? Let Jiang Tong forget it. If you come with me, don't you think about the consequences?"

"I can't rest assured if I don't come. Bailixu can't give him a chance of victory. This battle will be defeated. As long as he is left with a chance, there will be endless troubles." Jun Ruohan said, "He has Qianhe and Xiaobai in his hands, I'm afraid you will be restrained by him."

After all, he couldn't understand Gu Fang's temperament very well, but Bai Yu was just the opposite. He was cold-hearted and cold-blooded. As long as he could achieve his goal, he would not hesitate to make any sacrifices.

He had also heard about the crown prince dispute between Yushe and Yushe back then. The 12-year-old Baili Xuneng killed his mother who gave birth to him and put the blame on his imperial brother.

Whether this matter is true or not is hard to come to a conclusion, but if there are such rumors, then Bailixu is probably not very kind.

So no matter how strong Gu Fang is, meeting Bailixu will inevitably make people worry.

"I can't say no to you, you have come, I can't drive you back, even if you are driven, you will definitely not leave, can't I get angry?" Gu Fang said.

"It hurts the body if you get too angry, just let it go if you get angry."

Gu Fang has nothing to say, he is really good at comforting people.

"Have you brought a dark guard?"

"Bring it, don't worry about me, you can do whatever you want." Jun Ruohan said.

Gu Fang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Maybe it is true what my father said about being on my job?"

"Really." Jun Ruohan said helplessly.

"Okay, then you go with them and start a fire!" Gu Fang pointed not far away.

It is cold and freezing, and camping is too time-consuming to keep warm. They are rushing this time, and every second counts, so using fire to keep warm is the easiest and time-saving method.

Seeing him staring at that side without moving, Gu Fang sighed: "Forget it, where did you come here for my order? You obviously want me to serve you!"

As soon as the words fell, Gu Fang stood up on his knees and was about to start a fire with everyone, but Gu Fang held him down: "Got it, you stay here, I'll go."

Gu Fang roasted the fire while watching Jun Ruohan raise the fire with the soldiers, it was okay, it looked decent.

They didn't let him go when they were done, they just dragged him to sit down and chat with each other. A little distance away, they couldn't quite hear what they were talking about, but it was rare to see a look of embarrassment on Jun Ruohan's face.

"The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, wearing the same clothes and being buried in the crowd can still stand out like this." Jiang Tong sat next to Gu Fang in amazement.

This praise of Jun Ruohan sounded like a compliment to Gu Fang's ears, and he only heard him proudly saying: "The main reason is that he is good-looking, so he can stand out like this."

The corner of Jiang Tong's mouth twitched: "Why are you so superficial... If you like him, don't you just like his good looks?"

"Otherwise?" Gu Fang replied, then turned around and saw Jiang Tong's expression of disdain for why he was so superficial, and the next moment he kicked Jiang Tong's ass, "Everyone is busy, you are still here with me I'm chatting, hurry up and help."

Jiang Tong clutched his buttocks and jumped up. Who told him to be a soldier sent by others, he was extremely unwilling, so he passed.

Yizhou.

"Your Highness, the spies are here to report that Da Yue's reinforcements will arrive in three days." Some people stood by the bed and bowed their heads.

"Cough...cough cough..." The person on the bed struggled to sit up, he had been suffering from the wind and cold for some days, "act in advance, before the arrival of reinforcements."

"Your Highness..." The man hesitated, "King Chengxi has already led people away."

"What..." Bai Yu's eyes widened in shock, "When did it happen?"

"One hour ago, King Chengxi took away King Duan and Young Master Xiaobai of Dayue."

Bai Yu stood up abruptly and grabbed the man's collar, shouting in a hoarse voice: "Why didn't you report such a big matter immediately?"

"The subordinate came down, but you couldn't wake up at that moment, and King Chengxi...no one dared to offend..." The man was uneasy.

Bai Yu gritted her teeth and forcibly complied with her anger: "Take me, come with me now."

"But you are not fully recovered now, so you should listen to the doctor and stay in bed!"

"Whispering!" Bai Yu frowned at him, "Let's go now."

"Yes."
