Traveling with the army is not a child's play. Even if Gongsun Ce is not frail, he can't make up for half a month's march. He rides on the horseback in a daze, feeling stiff all over, and there is no place for him. He is about to take a breath and rest when his eyes go dark , unconscious.

Waking up in a tent, hastily erected, with the wind blowing in.

Looking around for the figure of Huamanlou, Gongsun Ce breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the movement at the door, and looked at Huamanlou who came in with the medicine, "Where are you now?"

"Outside Hejian Mansion, rest for one night, leave tomorrow morning, and arrive at Hejian Mansion before dark tomorrow."

Hua Manlou sat down while talking, put the medicine bowl aside, and helped Gongsun Ce get up, "Drink the medicine. You may still feel a little uncomfortable after the fever is gone."

"En." Gongsun Ce took the medicine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and looked at Hua Manlou with a bitter taste in his mouth, "I didn't want to delay the trip, but now I don't want to delay it."

"If you said it earlier, it wouldn't scare me."

Hearing that Gongsun Ce thought about the scene of falling from his horse, it was indeed scary enough, "I didn't intend to make you worry, but this trip to Hejian Mansion really made me feel a little uneasy, Pang Tong, I don't know at all, I'm afraid that if you reach his territory, you will suffer because of me."

He didn't want to spend the whole building because he was involved in more things.

"Being with you is never a burden."

"The building is full of flowers..."

"It's like you never think I'm a burden because I'm blind. It's undeniable that even though I can take care of myself like ordinary people, I still have inconveniences a lot of the time. Ah Ce, now that I'm burdened, it's going to make people feel It's born." Hua Manlou is indeed inconvenient when he arrives in a strange place and needs to get acquainted again, even if others can't see it, but he knows it in his heart.

Moreover, he couldn't see Gongsun Ce, but the good news was that he could sense his emotions.

"I see."

Listening to Gongsun Ce's tone, Hua Manlou couldn't help reaching out to rub Gongsun Ce's head, got up and sat down in another place.

Gongsun Ce felt that the action just now was too much like coaxing a child, but he couldn't find anything to refute, so he could only get under the quilt and wrap it up well, so as not to blow the cold wind and heat up again, "What time is it now?"

"It's just past midnight, can't you fall asleep?"

"I just woke up and couldn't sleep." Seeing that Hua Manlou had no plans to rest, Gongsun Ce could only ask, "Aren't you going to rest? You have to hurry tomorrow morning."

This made Gongsun Ce feel that there was something else in it, and he felt embarrassed for a moment, and turned his head, "I mean, you have to rest and refresh yourself so that you won't feel tired on the road."

"When will you be honest?"

"Since when are you not being honest?"

"You."

Hua Manlou blew on the lamp, lifted the quilt and lay down, put his arms around Gongsun Ce and said, "Can I sleep peacefully now?"

When the temperature was just right, Gongsun Ce rubbed Hua Manlou's shoulder twice, closed his eyes, "You rest, I will naturally rest too."

Along the way, Huamanlou was always looking after him, fearing that he would not be able to endure the half-month ride on horseback, and with his illness, Huamanlou might have been taking care of him instead of herself.

"It's rare for you to persuade people like this."

"Just works for you."

A familiar person was by his side. When he woke up the next day, Gongsun Ce had recovered and was refreshed. After putting on his clothes, he tied his belt for Hua Manlou leisurely and patted him on the shoulder, " It is true that the good medicine tastes bitter, the medicine is so bitter that I can still remember the taste in my dreams."

"As a doctor, it's rare to see someone like you."

"Doctors also need to take medicine when they are sick. The smell of the medicine is not bad, but when several kinds of medicine are mixed together, boiled into a soup and drunk into the stomach, the bitterness seeps into the blood."

Hua Manlou shook his head helplessly at Gongsun Ce's words, lifted the curtain and said, "Let the soldiers pack up the tents, we should be on our way."

"Hejian Mansion...Pang Tong is stationed in a small town here, the closest place to the Liao people."

"Have the people there been evacuated?"

Gongsun Ce got on his horse and said, "It should be that they all retreated to the rear, but we don't know the situation until we get there. Maybe we only left part of the way and the whole town is empty. It's unlikely."

The common people take their own homes as their roots, and no one is willing to leave.

Even if it is the order of the government, even if the enemy's arrows rain in, they may not leave.

Gongsun Ce understood the feelings of the common people, but now that the Liao soldiers are coming in menacingly, if the common people are attacked, it may increase the casualties of the common people. Under the iron cavalry of the Liao people, the chances of survival for ordinary people without the strength to bind chickens are very small.

"We'll talk about it when we get to town."

"kindness."

It was only half a day's journey from here to Hejian Mansion, and nothing happened on the way, and we arrived outside the garrison camp smoothly.Gongsun Ce tightened his cloak, got off his horse, explained a few words to the commander, and then walked towards the gate of the camp with Hua Manlou.

When the soldiers at the gate saw them coming, their eyes narrowed, "Show your writing."

"I am ordered by the emperor to come with the army—"

"No matter who you ordered, if you want to go in, you have to show the general's writing or letter, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter, and anyone who violates the order will be killed."

Hearing that Gongsun Ce frowned, Pang Tong was so defiant that he didn't care about the court.

Just when he was about to take out his official seal, two people walked in. The leader was wearing armor, with sword eyebrows and bright eyes, and there was a murderous look between his brows. She pursed her lips, a little unwilling to deal with Pang Tong.

Too arrogant and defiant.

"This is the newly appointed Gongsun Ce, Lord Gongsun?"

"It's Gongsun Ce."

"Let them in, order a tent for them, and send them food according to my orders."

"Yes, General."

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he turned and left, as if discussing something with the lieutenant beside him.Gongsun Ce, who was left in the air, followed a soldier to the tent where he lived during this time, and sent someone out, with an ugly expression on his face, annoyed at Pang Tong's attitude, and also annoyed that he came here to supervise the army because his brain was broken. .

Obviously, he was used as a target to vent his anger on Pang Tong.

"Pang Tong's dismount is for you and for the emperor."

"what do you mean?"

"You are definitely not the only one who came here in the army. To Zhao Zhen, you are only a talent at best, and it is impossible to trust you completely. Therefore, you are not the only one who came here, but you are just put on the bright side to frustrate you. Pang Tong's prestige, but Zhao Zhen made a mistake, no matter who comes, Pang Tong will not take it seriously."

Gongsun Ce calmed down, sat down and said: "Since you are the supervisor of the army, I will do this job well in the future, and see what else is left."

"kindness."

Before he could rest for a while, someone outside the tent said: "Master Gongsun, my general has an invitation."

"Here comes."

Gongsun Ce responded, and when he stood up, he glanced at Hua Manlou, "I'll come as soon as I go."

"Pang Tong is not necessarily a bad person."

"But he wouldn't be a nice guy either."

In court affairs, there is no distinction between who is good and who is bad. The only difference is who is loyal.

Lifting the curtain, Gongsun Ce smiled at the soldiers with a gentle attitude, "Little brother, lead the way."

Even though Pang Tong had never given any instructions to the soldiers, just looking at the relationship between Pang Tong and Zhao Zhen, they knew not to be polite to Gongsun Ce, but they still had a gentle attitude towards Shang Gongsun Ce's face, so they couldn't help but speak loudly. They all relaxed a little, "My lord, please follow me."

"Thank you."

Gongsun Ce didn't understand the sudden change of attitude, but being respected was more comfortable than being looked down upon, and the expression on his face was more relaxed.

When they arrived outside Pang Tong's tent, the soldier rushed inside to report, and when he got the reply, he cupped his hands and said to Gongsun Ce: "Master Gongsun, please, the general is inside."

"Yes, I see." After Gongsun Ce nodded in response, he opened the curtain and got into the tent.

Pang Tong had already changed into his regular clothes. He was wearing a black robe with auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs. Hearing the sound of Gongsun Ce coming in, he turned and looked at Gongsun Ce, "Master Gongsun is the only son of Gongsun Zhen. He is a genius from Luzhou. Cui Mingchong misses the last exam of the imperial examination by being poisoned, and because he was not convinced, he contested with Bao Zheng, and then disappeared from the capital. When he returned to the capital, he helped Bao Zheng solve the case of King San Lian, and was called into the palace to be appointed as Yushi Zhongcheng... …Gongsun Ce, you are really good at it, much smarter than Bao Zheng."

Pang Tong inquired about him.

Gongsun Ce came to a conclusion in his mind, he straightened his mind and looked at Pang Tong frankly: "It's a good thing for the general to understand the matter of being dismissed."

"The people you met during the time you disappeared also came to the barracks with you. I don't care about that, but if you do something in the army behind my back and I find out, whoever you are, I will dare to kill you." Pang Tong Staring at Gongsun Ce with stern eyes, he didn't take Gongsun Ce seriously.

"The subordinate officials came to supervise the army and only did what they should do."

"Huh, it's better like this!" Pang Tong approached Gongsun Ce, and suddenly smiled, "I've heard that Gongsun Ce looks like Pan An, gentle and handsome, and seeing him now, the rumors are true. The kung fu is also very powerful, people can't take advantage of it, and the bones are very hard."

Hearing the teasing in Pang Tong's words, Gongsun Ce's expression remained unchanged, and he was furious, "General, people's words are awesome, you can't believe them all."

"You mean this general is blind, and what he sees is not what he sees?"

"Xiaguan doesn't mean that, it's just that Gongsun Ce is a man, so he can't bear these words."

Pang Tong looked at Gongsun Ce amusedly, and felt that he had to add a sentence after the praise of Gongsun Ce's intelligence just now, "The literati are really pedantic."

Now Gongsun Ce was speechless, he just felt that Pang Tong was really difficult to deal with.
