Tang Xuan

After running wildly all day and night, they arrived at the dead forest.An Mu waved his hand, and the team of more than [-] people stopped quickly.An Mu stepped forward to argue for the direction, and the big stone settled in his heart, and said: "That's right, it is the Populus euphratica forest in the direction of Jinbu. Most of the surrounding trees are dead trees, and you can see live trees when you go inside. Passing through this forest, there is a The canyon, the rainy season is over now, if you are lucky, you can find water there. If you can’t find it, you will go to Jinbu in the past, and we will have water!"

Lin looked at the team first, and said: "Let's rest for half an hour before starting. After running for so long, people can hold on, but horses can't."

"Yeah." An Mu nodded in agreement, and only then did she take a look at Mingda.This weak woman from the capital of Chang'an Emperor possessed the tenacity and persistence in her body that made An Mu have to look at her.

Little did he know that after riding for a long time, Mingda's legs might be worn out, but it was just for Lang Huai's insistence that he refused to show the slightest pain.Mingda heaved a sigh of relief seeing that he could rest.

Lan Jun helped her get off the horse, and realized that all her strength was on him, so he hurriedly asked her, "Girl, what's wrong?"

"I'm afraid the leg is worn out. Don't say anything. Now is not the time to heal the injury. We'll talk about it when we get there." Mingda bit his lip, looked at Tayun, and said, "Go feed the horse, I'll sit and rest. .”

While talking, she sat down against a tree, inevitably touching the wound, grinning her teeth in pain.Lan Jun scolded himself for being negligent, and just forgot to bring some trauma medicine, while feeding the horse.

Mingda only thought of turning her back to everyone, no one would look at her, but An Mu took a box of medicine from the horse's back and came over with a smile.

"Take it and smear it on quickly. Although it can't be cured, it can relieve some pain." Seeing her stunned expression, An Mu felt the pleasure of succeeding in a prank, glanced at Mingda's leg, and said, "I'll let you off the hook and keep those guys away." Come here."

Mingda was dumbfounded and opened his mouth, unable to speak for a while.An Mu was already standing with his back to her, and said to several soldiers: "Go, go, our daughter's family is talking privately, you go away!"

Lan Jun came over after feeding the horse, just in time to see Mingda blushing, and said a few words to An Mu.An Mu greeted Lan Jun generously, then turned and left.

"Girl, are you better?" Lan Jun was puzzled, and handed over the dry food and water bag.Mingda took it over, with shame on his face, and said, "It's much better."

When we start again, we will inevitably slow down because we are in the woods.Fortunately, here, An Mu can judge the direction by the growth of Populus euphratica.Everyone knew that they were shouldering heavy responsibilities, and no one said much at all. They walked forward one by one.

At dawn, An Mu stopped first.She listened attentively, showing joy, and shouted, "Did you hear that?"

Mingda's eyes lit up, she had never felt that the wind in the mountains and forests was so beautiful, mixed with the gurgling water, it was the most soul-stirring music in the world.

"There is a stream in the canyon! We're almost there!" An Mu was about to shout forward, when Wang Xiong interrupted her: "The whole army obeys orders, and no one is allowed to act without authorization. The water tanker is full, and the team returns immediately to help."

Thanks to his yelling, he suppressed everyone.He urged the horse to move forward slowly, and finally after turning a corner, he saw a winding canyon.A small stream flowing down from the mountain, after a few turns, disappeared like the canyon.

Wang Xiong silently recited Amitabha, and relaxed his mind.Seeing the coach, these soldiers relaxed, and ran to the water's edge regardless of other things.In just an instant, the canyon and creek, which has been away from the hustle and bustle for a long time, was already full of people.With military discipline in front, these people are just lying in the water half a person's height, quietly venting the joy after being born.

After they rested for half an hour, Wang Xiong said to Lin Xian: "Pull the water truck, and when it's full, Lin will bring it back to help immediately!"

"En." Lin Xian waved his hand, and the soldiers still lying in the water stood up and went back to their posts silently, driving the camels and horses to drink water, or helping to fill the water tankers. When Herod's voice came, An Mu, who was in the distance, sighed secretly.

Cong Canglanhu's plan for such a journey of steel caused a lot of losses.But in such a short period of time, those new recruits can also strictly observe military discipline, if there are ten more Cong Canglanhu, the ending will be the same.

She thought about the so-called elites in the various countries, and she was even more ashamed.Maybe they have better equestrian skills and higher military strength, but facing the Tang army with strict military discipline, they have no chance of winning at all.And the Tang Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and it has kept its promises with the countries in the Western Regions, only controlled four towns and some fortresses, and never imposed interference in the affairs of other countries. What kind of tolerance and mind is this?

It is heard that Chang'an City is full of business travelers, prosperous and prosperous, and all nations come to court.An Mu added yearning, secretly vowed that in the future, he would definitely go to the city of Chang'an and see the majestic beauty of this great country, so that this life would be worthwhile.

She stood up from the stone, picked up her shoes and socks, and found Mingda barefoot.Seeing her appearance, An Mu knew that she was going back with the reinforcements.

"You can't go." An Mu pressed Mingda's shoulder, staring at her with blue eyes, and said, "You have to recuperate, and you can no longer ride a horse. Your general, I will bring you back."

Mingda frowned, and said, "I'll go by myself, you don't need to come."

"No, you misunderstood." An Mu said seriously: "I helped Lang Huai because of her promise. Those of my clan who are still alive are trapped in Shule. I can't save them alone."

"Lang Huai is very interesting. She took my golden knife, but she didn't know that it was made by my father. It is a symbol promised to my future son-in-law, which is what you Han people call a token." An Mu's words made Ming Da The expression changed, it was Lang Huai's business after all, and she also knew that for a woman, this matter was really important.

"I like her a little bit." An Mu said this, without the slightest bit of twitching, and Mingda couldn't feel disgusted with his generous appearance, "That's because she is indeed very smart, unlike those princes and nobles in Loulan. After hundreds of years, they only know how to walk dogs and tease hawks." An Mu said this, deliberately looking at Mingda, wanting to see her make a fool of herself.Unexpectedly, only appreciation and joy gradually seeped out of Mingda's eyes.

"But that was just a temporary attraction, and I don't like it anymore." An Mu smiled casually, patted Mingda on the shoulder, and said, "She's only as tall as me, and she's about as tall as my younger brother, but not a husband. Wait. After the battle, she has to give me back my golden sword."

Ming Da looked at An Mu in astonishment, and said, "You..."

"What's yours and mine? I'll tell you so that you don't have any doubts in your heart. If you can last until now, you are enough to impress me," An Mu said quickly, not noticing that he used the wrong word, "But you Han people also Say what you can. If you insist on going back, you are asking for trouble."

Only then did Ming Da understand why the princess came to chatter with her a lot. If she persisted, Lang Huai might not agree.She had no choice but to nod her head and said, "Okay, I'll keep it here, and you take someone to pick it up."

"That's right." An Mu was relieved, and said, "You guys just stay and rest. I guess it will take three or two days before they all come back. I'll go, see you later."

Watching An Mu go away, Mingda's thoughts flowed.Lang Huai is quick-witted and intelligent in everything, but he is a scumbag when it comes to love. I'm afraid she doesn't even know that the eldest princess of Loulan has deep affection for her.But Mingda admires An Mu for letting go so neatly.She put away her thoughts and waited for Lan Jun to come. The master and servant returned to the camp set up by the guards. They didn't even care about changing their clothes, so they collapsed on the couch and fell asleep after a while.

Lang Huai was in a coma for a whole day and night before waking up.

Mr. Zhu stood by her side, calling her in a low voice with a strong nasal voice: "Master?"

His head was heavy, Lang Huai shook, his arms propped up to get up, Mr. Zhu hurriedly stretched out his hands to hold her down, and said: "Master, you have suffered from an old illness, so you should rest! Everything is right, Lord Cen and the others are worried about it." , there will be no trouble."

Lang Huai only felt stabbing pains in his chest, and fell weakly on the bed, saying, "When is it?"

"You've been in a coma for a day and a night, driving everyone crazy." Mr. Zhu took the kettle, poured a glass of water, and fed it to Lang Huai a little bit, "Commander Lu said that even if there was a delay on the road, the rescuers would definitely come back tomorrow night. Pull the water one more time, and everyone can get out of trouble."

Only then did Lang Huai feel relieved, and said, "Didn't you see it, Si?"

"Young lady walked far away, I didn't see you, don't worry." Mr. Zhu's eyes were sour, and he was almost on the verge of tears.

Lang Huai sighed and said, "Call Xiao Tao."

Not long after, Tao Jun came back with the medicine jar, filtered the medicine residue with gauze, and fed the medicine to Lang Huai, asking, "Master, what do you want from me?"

Since entering the desert, Lang Huai has basically relied on taking pills.Now that Tao Jun was forced to boil medicine, her heart sank even more.

"Tell me honestly, what's going on with my illness!" Lang Huai stared at Tao Jun, asking him not to allow him to think for a moment.

Tao Jun's face was pale, and he said intermittently: "Master... so good... so good to recuperate, no, nothing serious will happen."

"Nonsense." He looked flustered, how could Lang Huai not see it?Sitting up halfway, he said, "Tell the truth."

Tao Jun glanced at Mr. Zhu, the two had no choice but to say: "It's not that there is no way, but now there is no medicine and no water, even if Hua Tuo is young, there is nothing to do!"

"The serious illness I had when I returned to Chang'an, and later I injured my lung meridian many times. Although we managed it properly, the disease will not be cured overnight. Now it is coming fiercely, Lord, I can only try my best to suppress it. I know what I am doing for it. , I will try my best to help my master fulfill his wish. But after Khotan is captured, you can no longer be so reckless!" Tao Jun said clearly, which made Lang Huai breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you scaring me? I thought it would be incurable. Don't worry, after this battle, I won't fight in person again." Lang Huai lay back on the bed again and said, "I know you still have something to say, let's talk about it together Bar."

"Master, go get water again, you can go with me." Mr. Zhu spoke first, and said: "This time your illness was also caused by lack of water. The sooner you have water, the sooner you will be relieved, and Xiao Tao can also start to heal. Commander Lu That's what it means."

"Okay." Lang Huai didn't think too much, followed the two of them, and said: "I was going to wait for the first batch of water to come before I left, in order to stabilize the morale of the army and let everyone know that there is water, and everyone can go." Live." As long as the water comes, she can give the soldiers confidence, and if she leaves first at this time, it will not affect the overall situation.

"Just one thing, don't tell Sizi." Lang Huai didn't even think about it, and said: "The battle of Khotan is very important, and there is absolutely no reason for me not to fight. If she knows, I'm afraid..." Lang Huai's eyes showed tenderness With a look on her face, she said, "You are not allowed to tell her."

"As long as you agree, you won't go into battle anymore, plan your strategy with peace of mind, and listen to the little ones, we will!" Mr. Zhu was about to speak, but Tao Jun spoke first.

"It's a deal!" After talking for a while, Lang Huai was a little out of spirits, and waved his hand to signal them to back down, and closed his eyes to rest.

Fortunately, it can be cured, but fortunately God has treated her well.Lang Huai caressed the wooden sign with his hands, feeling sorry for him.

She and Mingda have a white-headed promise, how can she have the heart to leave her alone?
