you are my tomorrow

Knowing the military camp of the Kingdom of Jin, Baoqin thought that he had to rescue Zhao Rongzhen before the military camp was withdrawn, but during the day the place was still heavily guarded, it was impossible for Baoqin to enter, and it got dark early at night, and the temperature at night in autumn was getting hotter. It was getting lower and lower, so Baoqin could only find a small hotel in a nearby town to stay in, and then went to the bushes in front of the military camp to check the situation inside in the morning before the sun was fully lit.

During the daytime, someone was already packing up their things, and it looked as if they could leave at any time. Baoqin thought that if they pulled out the camp, they would definitely bring Zhao Rongzhen with them, so Baoqin went to the town to buy a good horse, and waited for them to leave the barracks. When the time comes, Zhao Rongzhen can be rescued in one fell swoop.

I have been with Zhao Rongzhen for so many years, although I have not learned a few tricks from Zhao Rongzhen in kung fu, but I have learned horse riding very well. When riding a horse with Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei, although I have never won, at least I have never lost. As for horse riding, Baoqin Still have confidence.

After buying the horses, it was already the third day, and the barracks were almost cleaned up. In the evening, two soldiers were going to go to the town to buy something. Baoqin overheard their conversation as they passed by the bushes, although it was not very clear. He understood Jin Guo's words, but he probably understood it. Most importantly, he heard the news that they would leave the camp tomorrow.

Baoqin, who was hiding in the grass, clenched his fists.

That night, Zhao Rongzhen didn't know how long he cried, and he didn't know whether he fell asleep or passed out. He had many unidentified dreams, and the appearances of Comet and Zhang Wei kept interspersed. Comet was still dressed in red, cold He looks cold, and when he sees himself, he smiles warmly. Zhang Wei looks like a grown-up for a while, and a child for a while, but he seems to follow behind him all the time. As long as he turns around, he can see him looking at him slightly Smiling, there are parents in the dream, and they always look kind, as if they have no resentment.

When he woke up again, Zhao Rongzhen slowly opened his eyes because of the warmth around him, trying to stretch his sore arms, but failed, as if he was tied up by something, and wanted to stretch his legs, too. He didn't succeed, he could only slowly open his eyes, and it took him a while to reflect——

I was tied up in a large font in a dark room.

The dark room seems to be underground, because there are no windows, and it is not known whether it is day or night, but there are torches around, illuminating the dark room brightly, Zhao Rongzhen couldn't get used to the light for a while, so he could only squint his eyes.Opposite me was a chair covered with tiger skin. Besides the chair and the big turntable that helped me, there was also a simple wooden shelf in a corner of the darkroom, on which hung four or five leather whips of different thicknesses.

There were two soldiers at the door of the darkroom. Seeing that Zhao Rongzhen was awake, one soldier left his post and came back after less than a stick of incense. He glanced at Zhao Rongzhen, and then stood facing outside again.

After a while, Chen Yuan came in without bringing anyone. He still held the sword of loyalty in his hand, whispered something to the person at the door, and the two soldiers left, closing the door of the dark room before leaving. Then Chen Yuan sat down on the chair relaxedly.

In the not-so-spacious dark room, there were only two people left.

After adapting to the brightness in the room, Zhao Rongzhen also opened his eyes, staring blankly at Chen Yuan who was sitting on the chair and studying the scabbard seriously.

"I'm here with you, what else do you want to do? Aren't you going to avenge your General Ren Qiang?" Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't say or do anything, Zhao Rong was really not afraid of waiting, not afraid of death, just afraid that he wouldn't be happy die.

"Report, of course you have to report, but how to report, this is my problem, you don't need to worry about it." Chen Yuan still looked at the scabbard, but only glanced at Zhao Rongzhen, and then pulled out the sword inside, the blood stains on it were still on it, Under the light of the torch, the blood-stained areas were black, and the areas without blood-stained areas reflected a cool light, "This is really a good sword, and it seems to cover up its light when used on an incompetent lieutenant general..." Zhao Rongzhen watched Chen Yuan's fingers slide slowly over the sword, and didn't know what he could do next, but it would be great if he could stab his chest in one go.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan raised his sword and pointed at Zhao Rongzhen, "But if you can use him to end your life, will it be more valuable after leaving the master?" In front of Zhao Rongzhen, the tip of the sword was placed just below Zhao Rongzhen's Adam's Apple, with a little force, a little blood oozes out.

Although it was slightly painful, Zhao Rongzhen smiled happily, but there were tears in his eyes. He didn't expect that Chen Yuan, who seemed calm, was also impatient. He was just waiting for Chen Yuan to stab deeper, so that he could go Meet Comet and Zhang Wei.

But Chen Yuan didn't do that, but took down the sword, "If I kill you like this, wouldn't I be too sorry for Ren Qiang who died so tragically?" Chen Yuan smiled, but tears glistened in the corners of his eyes Guang, he lowered his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, then shook his head. After raising his head, two lines of tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, but Zhao Rongzhen became serious. None of them have passed, but when the name "Ren Qiang" is mentioned, there will be endless sadness and despair in the eyes.

When Zhao Rongzhen was still thinking about what was going on, there was a sharp pain in his right hand, as if the pain was cut with metal, he couldn't help but groaned in pain, and before he could react, there was the same pain in his left hand. The pain, followed by the left ankle, and the scabbed wound on the right foot were opened again.

The pain in the hands and feet spread to the whole body through the arms and legs, Zhao Rongzhen couldn't bear it anymore, he yelled in pain a few times, and the cold sweat from the pain spread all over the body, Zhao Rongzhen estimated that the tendons in the hands and feet might all be broken.

When the pain became numb and his hands and feet seemed to be numb, Zhao Rongzhen's whole body trembling due to the previous pain hadn't calmed down yet. He looked at the hands and feet covered in red blood, and they no longer looked the same. Finally, His gaze was fixed on Chen Yuan who was looking at him coldly, but he couldn't say another word because of the pain.

"...at least this level is good..." Chen Yuan murmured, his clothes had been stained with red blood stains, he threw the sword on the ground with a "bang", lowered his head, and stared blankly. He walked out of the dark room and never came back since then, and the soldier who had just guarded the door never came back either. He thought he was numb from the pain just now, but the pain hit Zhao Rongzhen again with the circulation of blood, and also eroded his body. Zhao Rong really realizes...

The next morning, when the sky was bright, Chen Yuan left the barracks with his army horse, but until the last soldier walked out of the barracks, Bao Qin didn't see Zhao Rongzhen's figure, he thought he had misread, and followed the tail of the team After walking for a while, there was really no Zhao Rongzhen in that team.Baoqin turned back to the barracks again, ran into the empty barracks and searched everywhere, but there was no sign of Zhao Rongzhen, and finally Baoqin stood at the place where the general's tent used to be and looked around hopelessly, because they were leaving the next day. Baoqin kept guard in the bush all night, afraid that they would transfer Zhao Rongzhen to another place first, but in the end, he still did not guard.

Baoqin knocked himself on the head with self-blame, stomped his feet vigorously, hugged his head, squatted on the ground remorsefully, looked at the ground, and blamed himself for not keeping it, but looking at it, he found that the ground under his feet It seems that it was buried by sand on purpose. The foot I stomped just now didn’t feel like I was stepping on the ground. Baoqin immediately swept the sand on the ground away with his hands in the direction of the surroundings. When the iron plate with two handles appeared in front of Baoqin, Baoqin couldn't believe his eyes. He immediately lifted the handle and pulled the not-so-heavy iron plate away. A place similar to the entrance of a cellar Appeared, Baoqin went down the ladder, one of the stone walls at the bottom of the ladder was still burning, only half of the torch was left, took the torch, Baoqin walked in along the stone wall, the damp and dark underground passage was full of The musty smell made Baoqin cover his nose and mouth. After walking less than 20 meters, there was a half-hidden door on the right hand side, and there was still light from the door. Baoqin tentatively pushed the door open. The scene frightened Baoqin——

A fainted man lowered his head, his hands and feet covered in black and red blood were fastened to a disc in a large font shape, but Baoqin recognized the military uniform on that man's body, it was armor that only generals could wear.

"Young Master!" Baoqin threw down the torch, stepped over to Zhao Rongzhen's side in a few steps, put his finger under Zhao Rongzhen's nose, and breathed weakly, "...is still alive...thank you, young master..." Baoqin trembled With a loud voice, he wanted to help him untie the ropes on his hands and feet, but the blood was already all over his hands and feet, so that Baoqin couldn't see where the ropes were for a while, and it was hard to tell. Baoqin was crying as he untied his fingers. Because of his careless touch, the palm of his right hand began to flow fresh red again, mixed with the blood that had turned black and red before, revealing the message that death was approaching. Baoqin had to speed up his hand, try his best to Do not touch the wound that has opened again.

When the ropes on Zhao Rongzhen's hands and feet were untied, Baoqin was already sweating in this dark and humid dark room, but he didn't dare to delay, Baoqin squatted down, and put Zhao Rongzhen's hand on his own, which was paralyzed on the ground In front of his chest, with his feet, he picked up Zhao Rongzhen, who was one size bigger than him, and walked out quickly.But when he got to the ladder, Baoqin was in trouble again. Zhao Rongzhen was unconscious now, so he couldn’t expect him to lean on him with force. Baoqin first put Zhao Rongzhen on the ground, and after using it a little bit, he patted Zhao Rongzhen on the shoulder, "Big Young master! Eldest young master! Wake up! Can you hear me! Eldest young master! I am Baoqin!" Baoqin hurriedly called Zhao Rongzhen's name, but there was no response, Zhao Rongzhen still had his eyes closed.

After calling for a while, Zhao Rongzhen still didn't respond, Baoqin paced back and forth trying to find a way, suddenly a possible solution came up, Baoqin went back to the dark room, only then saw that the place where Zhao Rongzhen was tied just now was full of people. Baoqin couldn't bear to look at the blood. He looked around and saw a leather whip on the shelf in the corner, so he took it all and ran back to the ladder.

He connected the two shorter leather whips together, tied Zhao Rongzhen's two wrists together, then put his head through the circle in the middle of the arms, and then tied the two slightly longer leather whips Put them together behind Zhao Rongzhen's waist, then tie the two ends in front of his waist with three dead buckles, finally put the shortest leather whip around the back of Zhao Rongzhen's neck, and finally tie the two ends in front of his neck, so that It can almost guarantee that Zhao Rongzhen can attach his whole body to himself.

Baoqin stood up with some difficulty. He helped Zhao Rongzhen's head and let his head rest on his shoulder. If Zhao Rongzhen's head could not always rest on his shoulder during the climbing process, he would There are two whips around their necks and the whip in Zhao Rongzhen's hand tied to his body, so that Zhao Rongzhen will not fall.

Taking a deep breath, "Eldest young master, you have helped yourself, Baoqin will save you now, you must hold on." Baoqin climbed up the ladder with both hands, and at the moment when both feet were on the ladder, Baoqin finally Knowing that although this is a solution, Zhao Rongzhen is taller and heavier than him, Zhao Rongzhen behind him keeps falling, and Zhao Rongzhen's head hangs backward when Baoqin stepped on the first ladder, The whip around his neck made Baoqin almost breathless, he felt that Zhao Rongzhen's hands were slowly moving towards his neck, Baoqin could only attach the weight of the two people to his hands, Stepping up a ladder is harder than climbing the sky. There are only six ladders, but Baoqin feels that he has no strength after climbing three knots. But thinking of Zhao Rongzhen behind him, Baoqin stepped up his efforts Even though the whip around his neck has strangled him almost out of breath, the strength of his hands and feet seems to be about to lose due to the lack of oxygen in his chest.

When he realized that Zhao Rongzhen's hands were approaching his neck, Baoqin felt that he was really going to die. If Zhao Rongzhen's hands were strangling his neck, the fate of the two of them might be to die in this cellar.

"...Master... Young Master!" Baoqin squeezed out the three words from between his teeth, suddenly he felt the hands on his chest move, and then slowly stretched out in front of him, the hands shook feebly , Baoqin seemed to see hope, he buckled one of his arms on the ladder, and pulled Zhao Rongzhen's hand with difficulty with the other, trying to put it on his chest, but in the process, Zhao Rongzhen's hand touched When he reached a ladder and tried to hold onto that ladder, Baoqin turned his head slightly backwards, Zhao Rongzhen half-opened his eyes, slowly leaned his head on his shoulder, and also vaguely saw the ladder in front of him, He put one hand on the ladder, then pointed to it with the other, and put that hand on the ladder as well.

Baoqin nodded with tears in his eyes, and finally, the two of them joined forces to log out of the cellar.

When the two were lying on the ground, Baoqin felt that he had no strength in his whole body. He struggled to untie the leather whip tied around the necks of the two, only then did he feel that a big mouthful of air had entered the oxygen-deprived brain.

When he felt a little strength, Baoqin sat up and untied the whips from the two men and from Zhao Rongzhen's hand, "Master..." Seeing Zhao Rongzhen's eyes half-opened, looking at the cloudy sky without focus, Moving his lips, Baoqin couldn't hear what he was saying, so he put his ear close to him.

"Sword... sword..."

"What sword?"

"The sword of loyalty...below..."

Baoqin thought for a while, and seemed to see a sword on the floor of the dark room just now, "I'll get it now..." Baoqin was about to stand up, but Zhao Rongzhen grabbed his clothes again, and Baoqin put his ear closer.

"...Bury me and...Zhang Wei together...and set up a memorial tablet for Comet...the three of us can...be together forever..."

"Why don't you bury it? You still have time! I will definitely find the best doctor, otherwise the emperor won't ignore you when we go back to the capital. If not, let's go to Mr. Meng..." Zhao Rongzhen waved his hand indifferently, Slowly turned his head to the side, no longer looking at Baoqin.

Baoqin sighed helplessly, but stood up, went back to the dark room as fast as he could, retrieved the sword, and when he returned to Zhao Rongzhen, Zhao Rongzhen passed out again, without thinking too much, Baoqin carried He picked up Zhao Rongzhen, trotted to a place one mile away from the barracks, and rode his horse towards the town.

After entering the hotel where he was staying, the owner was startled when he saw Zhao Rongzhen covered in blood, and some guests who were eating in the lobby were also scared away. Baoqin ignored the eyes of others, walked towards the stairs, and walked towards his room.

In the next five days, Zhao Rongzhen started to have a high fever. Baoqin consulted all the doctors in this border town. Everyone concluded that Zhao Rongzhen's tendons in his hands and hamstrings had ruptured, but no one dared to help him. They all prescribed some medicines to stop bleeding and reduce fever, because Zhao Rongzhen was seriously injured, and he seemed to be able to "leave" at any time. These doctors were afraid that if Zhao Rongzhen died while he was treating himself, they should smash themselves Shop sign.

When helping Zhao Rongzhen change clothes, Baoqin found a turquoise in Zhao Rongzhen's arms, a blood-stained letter, and a blood-stained red kit.He recognized the turquoise, and Zhao Rongzhen had worn it by his side for many years, but it disappeared for a while, but it came back this time, and he also recognized the handwriting on the bloody letter, it was Zhang Wei's handwriting, Baoqin read the beginning, it was written to Zhao Rongzhen, Baoqin didn't read it.

Baoqin has an impression of this red brocade bag. It seems that he only got it after meeting His Royal Highness Comet. Before that, Zhao Rongzhen had always tied it around his waist. After the old general and his wife passed away, this brocade bag disappeared. Baoqin I thought it was still in mourning, and it was not suitable for Zhao Rongzhen to have brightly colored items on his body, but after many days, until he rescued Zhao Rongzhen, he had never seen this bag. Baoqin thought that Zhao Rongzhen lost it, or threw it away on purpose , but he didn't expect that it was still on Zhao Rongzhen's body, if it wasn't stained with blood, the kit would still be very new.

Baoqin looked at Zhao Rongzhen who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help sighing deeply, perhaps, his young master never forgot Comet, that's why he treasured this kit so much.

But the person Zhao Rongzhen wanted to be considerate of the most no longer exists in this world.

Thinking of this, Baoqin's nose turned sour, and tears flowed down again.

Zhao Rongzhen always wakes up and sleeps, but the sleeping time is far longer than the waking time. Baoqin always feeds Zhao Rongzhen some food and then takes medicine when he wakes up, but those meals are not much to eat Zhao Rongzhen would always spit out the medicine after being swallowed. Different doctors bandaged his hands and feet with different plasters, and the whole room smelled of plasters. In his sleep, Zhao Rongzhen would unconsciously groan from time to time.

Looking at Zhao Rongzhen who was getting thinner, Bao Qin didn't know how many times he shed tears. Before in the palace, he heard that Zhao Rongzhen's leg was healed by Meng Qinghuan. This time in the barracks, Zhao Rongzhen's injury was also healed by Meng Qinghuan. So Baoqin didn't want to care whether Zhao Rongzhen agreed or not, and decided to send him to Meng Qinghuan for treatment.But what worried Baoqin was that he didn't know where Meng Qinghuan lived, and the more reliable way was to send Zhao Rongzhen to the palace.

So, on the seventh day, Baoqin got up early, went to the market in the town to buy a carriage, and around noon, he carried Zhao Rongzhen onto the carriage, and then checked out of the room. The boss seemed to be eager for them to leave quickly It seems that because Zhao Rongzhen's medicine smell almost flooded the whole store, before leaving, Baoqin did not forget to put the turquoise, the letter and the red kit back into Zhao Rongzhen's arms, and of course, he also brought the sword of loyalty .

Although Baoqin was anxious, he didn't dare to drive too fast, he was afraid that because of the uneven road, Zhao Rongzhen would lie down too bumpy.

Not long after leaving the town, Zhao Rongzhen woke up. He opened the door behind Baoqin with his strength, "Young Master, you are awake. There are steamed buns next to you. Eat some if you are hungry."

The weather outside was a bit cold, even though the carriage was walking slowly, Zhao Rongzhen felt the wind blowing on his face, he didn't know how long he had slept, his hands and feet were wrapped in gauze, and his head was a little heavy, but As soon as the wind blows, it seems to wake up a little.

Ignoring Baoqin's words, Zhao Rongzhen looked at the clear sky and sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Zhao Rongzhen's sigh, Baoqin stopped the carriage immediately, and he was already out of town, so it's not far away, if he went back to find a doctor, there was still time.

Zhao Rongzhen shook his head, still looking at the sky blankly, Baoqin pulled the quilt up, covering Zhao Rongzhen's back.

"Where are we going?" Zhao Rongzhen's voice was hoarse, it was unknown whether it was because of a fever or because he had slept too long.

"Go back to the capital, young master, let's go back to the palace..." Baoqin remembered what Zhao Rongzhen had asked him to do in the golden camp, and he hoped that Zhao Rongzhen would never forget it.

"Where is Zhang Wei? Where is Zhang Wei?"

Baoqin lowered his head and didn't speak. Although he knew it, he was afraid that Zhao Rongzhen would go back to the barracks if he said it.

Seeing that Baoqin didn't answer, Zhao Rongzhen turned his gaze back to Baoqin and kept looking at him. Baoqin knew that Zhao Rongzhen was waiting for his answer, "Eldest young master, when your injury heals, we will go to the second young master... , okay?" Baoqin raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Rongzhen pleadingly, Zhao Rongzhen lowered his head, lifted the quilt on his body, and moved his legs with difficulty, "What are you doing? Are you uncomfortable sitting?"

"If you don't tell me, I'll go find it myself, and see if I can find a comet by the way."

"Eldest young master, I beg you, go back and treat the wound first, okay?" Baoqin held Zhao Rongzhen down, not wanting him to move anymore, Zhao Rongzhen didn't have much strength on his body, Baoqin held him down, but he didn't resist much, stopped After the attack, he kept looking at Baoqin.

That was the first time Baoqin saw Zhao Rongzhen's eyes, pleading, hopeless, always high-spirited and confident Zhao Rongzhen would never have such a look, this person's soul is gone.

The person in front of him is no longer his old young master.

Baoqin couldn't help lowering his head, tears fell like beads with a broken thread.

No matter how many years have passed, no one would know that on this not-so-spacious but quiet mountain road, a carriage that was supposed to head towards the capital stopped on the road for half an hour, then turned around and drove in the opposite direction Go, although the speed is not fast, but it has been walking, going in an unknown direction.

Eldest young master, do you regret not returning to the capital for medical treatment?

No regrets, the thing I regret the most so far is the return of the comet.

Young master, I will always be with you.

I let you go, why don't you go?

It was the master who picked me up from the battlefield. Without him, I would not help you drive the carriage today. I will be a member of the Zhao family in my life, and I can't drive you away.

thank you.

Master, can I call you "brother"?

call.

Brother, you have to live well and for a long time, longer than me.

I will try my best.

The wheels made a creaking sound on the mountain road. It was not loud, but it lasted for a while. At that time, Baoqin hoped that this sound would not stop. It would be great if it continued forever. The sky that day would also be blue forever. It would be nice if it didn't turn black...
