My years as a soldier

Hu Jiuzhang has never been a person who likes to manipulate other people's fate. Controlling certain things and making a certain important decision may give people pleasure from it, but for Hu Jiuzhang, such responsibilities will become a heavy burden instead.

He stood in front of Li Muyun's bed every day, and when he saw the patient's condition was anxious and did not improve, he was so anxious that he wished he could rush out of the camp immediately and find another expert doctor.But when Li Muyun's condition improved and he fell asleep peacefully, he felt that he must not take Li Muyun out of the camp.After leaving Cui Qianyou, he is penniless and has a disability in his leg. He may not even be able to take care of himself, so how can he take care of Li Muyun?

As the days passed, Li Muyun's medicine became less and less.Seeing that the medicine box was about to bottom out, Hu Jiuzhang's heart was tightened again, he couldn't eat and couldn't sleep, and after thinking about it all night in the big tent, he finally made up his mind to see Cui Ganyou.

When he was in front of Cui Qianyou, Hu Jiuzhang's face didn't look much better. Although he knew that it would be rude to put on such a face, he couldn't force a smile on his face, but he couldn't do it.

The general saw Hu Jiuzhang come in with a bitter face, but he didn't care about these things.

"How is Mr. Li?" Cui Qianyou asked lightly.

"The situation is not good...General, the son's medicine is not enough."

Hu Jiuzhang clasped his hands and lowered his head, he didn't even look up to see Cui Qianyou's expression.On the contrary, if he looked up, he might still be able to detect a trace of tiredness and indifference in Cui Qianyou's expression.

"Oh... This is also expected, you go back first, I know about it."

Cui Ganyou waved his hand at him, but Hu Jiuzhang hadn't seen it yet.He stood there with his head down for a long while, and found that General Cui hadn't spoken any more, so he belatedly saluted and quietly retreated from the tent.

This made him sleepless and restless, and the meeting was over in just a few words.Hu Jiuzhang didn't know if Li Muyun still had the medicine the next day, and he didn't even dare to ask Cui Qianyou when the medicine would arrive.The opponent defeated Ge Shuhan's 20 Tongguan garrison general. Such a man who can manipulate the entire Tang army in his hands, what right does Hu Jiuzhang have to ask him?

On the way back, Hu Jiuzhang also kept his head down. He walked back step by step with his crutches, but his nasal cavity was sore again.He just felt unwilling and extremely disappointed. It turned out that what he valued more than his life was nothing more than a word in front of others.But he was stunned and didn't dare to rush forward to threaten or question others.Just because he knows that he has no right to coerce Cui Qianyou at all.If people can get the medicine, it is because of Li Muyun's care, and if they can't get the medicine, it can be said that they are powerless.During the war, he was the commander in charge of the first army, how could he have the time to find medicine for you?

Even though Hu Jiuzhang was not reconciled, his chest seemed to be stuffed with air, and he couldn't get it out anyway.It weighed heavily on his heart, making him feel oppressed even to breathe.

But even so, all he could do was just walk back honestly.

Maybe... wait?

Hu Jiuzhang thought.

Li Muyun's medicine is enough for tomorrow morning, if there is no new medicine delivered tonight, I'm afraid I can only...

Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help taking a deep breath.

go away.

Can he really bring Li Muyun who is seriously ill to this point and survive in the chaotic world with constant strife outside?Hu Jiuzhang didn't dare to think about it.He didn't know if the big man he met in the pharmacy could save Li Muyun's life. There were too many dangers and uncertainties outside.

In a blink of an eye, a day passed like this, and the sun was setting, and Hu Jiuzhang sat in front of Li Muyun's couch in a daze.This day was no different from the previous few days. No one delivered medicine, and Hu Jiuzhang's face became more and more gloomy.

"...why...unhappy?"

Suddenly, a faint voice came from the ear.Hu Jiuzhang was stunned for a while, then suddenly lowered his head, only to see that Li Muyun had opened his eyes on the couch.He quickly shook Li Muyun's hand under the quilt, and his expression softened.

"Wake up? How are you feeling?"

"fine……"

Li Muyun responded softly, but his eyes were locked on Hu Jiuzhang's subconsciously frowning brows, making him frown too.

"What’s wrong with you……"

"Ah?" Hu Jiuzhang was taken aback again, and after a long time he forced himself to raise the corners of his mouth, smiled and blinked at Li Muyun, "It's okay, I'm just worried about you. Rest well, don't talk too much, you're tired It won't be good."

"……Um."

Li Muyun looked at Hu Jiuzhang and hesitated for a while, fearing that he was exhausted, finally he responded aloud, closed his eyes and rested.

Hu Jiuzhang just held Li Muyun's hand and waited there motionless for nearly half an hour, until he was sure that Li Muyun was fast asleep, then he stood up with his crutches on his crutches, the expression on his face became increasingly ugly.

It was getting dark, and Hu Jiuzhang waited until the three quarters of the day.Near midnight, he paced back and forth outside the big tent.He imagined Cui Qianyou's soldiers searching for medicinal materials in Chang'an City, and imagined that Cui Qianyou relied on his contacts to search for medicinal materials among various legions.But this is just a scene in his imagination.

At a fraction of a second, a few orange, red and orange fireworks flickered outside the all-black tent.No one brought medicine.Hu Jiuzhang couldn't bear his temper anymore, and finally walked towards Cui Ganyou's big tent again with his crutches.

He rushed over in a hurry, no longer thinking about what to say and what to do when he met Cui Qianyou.With only a dark face, he walked more and more anxiously.

When he arrived at Cui Ganyou's tent, the guard knew him, so he went in to Tongchuan happily, but this time Hu Jiuzhang waited for a long time before the Tongchuan soldiers came out.

"General Cui said, it's too late today, I told you to go back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

The night watchman himself yawned, but when Hu Jiuzhang heard those words, his face couldn't hold back.

He just felt that his face lost the warmth, and the blood was pressed to his head in an instant as his heart was pounding in his chest.

"But... tomorrow will be too late! There will be no medicine tomorrow!"

Hu Jiuzhang wanted to rush into the tent ahead of the guards, but the guard picked his calf lightly with a spear in his hand, tripped him, and fell to the ground with a thud. There was such a loud noise, but there was no sound in Cui Ganyou's tent. .

"Hey! I've said it all, the general asked you to come back tomorrow. I don't want to embarrass you either, just go back honestly!"

Hu Jiuzhang struggled to get up from the ground, and his nose was ashamed.

"There will be no medicine tomorrow!"

His voice was a little trembling, he was urgent, but he seemed to be crying a little bit, he just stared blankly at the guard as if begging.But the soldier glanced at him and turned his head away, waving his hands again and again.

"Go! Tell you to go, do you hear me?"

Hu Jiuzhang's chest heaved and he took a few breaths. After a while, he turned around little by little while supporting himself on crutches.

On the way back to the tent, Hu Jiuzhang's mind was in chaos, he never thought that Cui Qianyou would not even want to see himself.Did Cui Qianyou just want to watch Li Muyun die of illness?He has never wanted to speculate on others with the most sinister intentions, but this time, he only felt that the road in front of him was dark.Like the dark night sky in the sky, it is overwhelming.

This night is destined to be another sleepless night.

After days of hard work, Hu Jiuzhang had two heavy black marks under his eye sockets. He was clearly a young man in his twenties, but at first glance he seemed sick, lifeless, and his demeanor was full of exhaustion.

A little bit of light coming through the gaps in the camp heralds that a new day has come.Hu Jiuzhang propped himself up beside the couch, staggered a few steps, and finally stood firmly on crutches.

Without medicine, you can only go.

He didn't think too much about it that night. There were only two roads in front of him. Originally, he trusted Cui Ganyou, but now...he could only pray that the man surnamed Yan would really come from the eastern suburbs of Chang'an as he said. Appeared in a certain village.otherwise……

Hu Jiuzhang shook his head severely.The reality didn't leave him room to conceive the follow-up. He took a few steps forward with his crutches, his legs hurt, his head hurt, and his body was so tired that he couldn't even use his strength, but things still had to be done, and people always had to keep going.

Facing the morning breeze, Hu Jiuzhang stood in front of Cui Ganyou's tent again.The guard was about to go in to help him communicate, but he took the initiative to grab the guard's arm.

"Brother, I'm not here to ask to see the general, I just want to ask you to pass on a message for me. You tell the general that Hu Jiuzhang is going to take Mr. Li to find medicine and cure his illness. General Cui please agree."

Hu Jiuzhang spoke earnestly, the guard didn't ask any more questions, turned around and went into the tent to report to him, but this time, the guard came out after a while.

"Hu Jiuzhang, the general told you to go in."

Hearing this, Hu Jiuzhang was suddenly a little surprised, but he figured it out soon.Cui Qianyou probably wanted to get rid of Li Muyun, a hot potato.They begged him so much last night, but no one responded, but now that they say they want to leave, they are ready to meet up!After all, he is a traitor who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, the son of his former savior, whether he is dead or alive now, of course it is not so important that he needs to use means to save him.

After figuring this out, Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help sneering, nodded at the guard, and walked into the tent with crutches.

Cui Qianyou in the big tent was dressed in armor, and he looked like he was about to go out.For a moment, Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help thinking that Cui Qianyou was going to find medicine for Li Muyun, but soon, the general's words broke Hu Jiuzhang's last thoughts about him.

"You plan to take Mr. Li away, are you ready?"

"No."

Hu Jiuzhang answered truthfully, not to mention preparations, he didn't even have the ability to step out of the tent with Li Muyun behind his back.

"That means you have to leave without preparing anything?"

When asked by Cui Ganyou, Hu Jiuzhang smiled instead, but the smile looked somewhat bitter.

"Young master only has the last bowl of medicine left this morning. If there is no medicine, it will be useless to stay here, so I have to take you to find medicine elsewhere."

"in this way……"

Cui Ganyou pondered in a low voice, but he didn't see half a word of medicine.

"That's the case. I'll ask someone to prepare a car for the young master. It's not easy for you as a retainer to serve the lord. If you lack anything, you can go directly to the military affairs minister to ask for it. I will send someone to order it. Forgive them for not Difficult with you."

When Cui Ganyou said this, his expression was much calmer, even a bit concerned.

Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help sighing, he also wanted to say a few words of thanks to Cui Qianyou sincerely, but as long as he thought about last night, he couldn't say whether he liked or hated Cui Qianyou.

Back to Li Muyun, Hu Jiuzhang struggled for the rest of the matter.Cui Qianyou's people quickly rushed to the carriage, and the soft bedding and bedding were all available in the carriage.Hu Jiuzhang also asked for some sets of clothes, a new set of weapons, and 50 taels of silver from the military secretary.With these things, even relying on him to find the medicine by himself, it would be enough to last for a while.It's just that how long Li Muyun's body can last is beyond his control.
