Suya

When Feng Chen woke up the next day, he felt severe pain on the left side of his cheek. He touched it with his hand and immediately took a deep breath.

He stretched out his hand to touch the right side of his face, then touched the left side and the right side with both hands for a while, then jumped off the bed suddenly, rummaged through boxes and boxes to find a bronze mirror and took a picture.

After taking the photo, he stood there blankly for a long time, then put the mirror on the table, stood there for a while, and walked out of the room silently.

When they came downstairs, a group of envoys and attendants were having breakfast.

Feng Xiao and You Baiyan were at the same table, with a person in between.

When Feng Chen went downstairs, many people looked at him.

When Feng Xiao saw him, he first lowered his head timidly, then raised his head immediately, stared at Feng Chen's face, and said in great surprise: "General...your face... What's wrong?"

Feng Chen walked over and sat down opposite him, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said slowly: "It's nothing, I bumped into it accidentally."

Ju Baiyan looked at the clear fingerprints on his face, held back for a long time, and leaned forward and backward with a smile.

Feng Chen put down his teacup and looked at him coldly.

You Baiyan pursed her lips and tried her best not to laugh, but her shoulders still shook uncontrollably and her face bulged.

The people around looked at Feng Chen and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, their faces turned red.

Only Feng Xiao looked at him with a gloomy expression, and when he saw him looking at him, he immediately lowered his head.

Feng Chen glanced at him, didn't say anything, ordered something and started to eat on his own.

After a while, there was a sound on the stairs, and Li Xiruo left the room and was walking downstairs.

Feng Chen listened to the sound of footsteps for a while, then turned his face slightly so that the person beside him blocked his left face.

Li Xiruo went downstairs, glanced at him, turned to the attendants and planned to explain the next itinerary to them, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt something and turned around suddenly to look at Feng Chen.

Feng Chen ignored his gaze, lowered his head and continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Li Xi Ruo watched him quietly for a while, then raised her legs and walked towards him.

Feng Chen paused for a moment, then got up and turned to the left, as if he was full and wanted to leave.

Li Xiruo immediately stopped him: "Feng Chen, wait a minute."

Feng Chen stopped in his tracks, turned his face slightly, turned his right face to Li Xiruo, and asked with a very casual smile, "Is there something wrong?"

"Well, there are some things I want to discuss with you."

"Oh, come out another day, I have something to do now."

Li Xiruo was just guessing at first, but when he saw his cover-up appearance, he knew that his guess was completely correct.

He stopped talking, walked over quickly, grabbed Feng Chen's hand, and looked at his left side.

Feng Chen turned his head immediately, but his movement was still a step slow, Li Xi Ruo could see all the marks on his face.

Li Xiruo looked at his face, frowned, with a look of heartache and guilt on his face, he grabbed Feng Chen's hand and dragged him upstairs to his room.

As soon as he entered, Li Xiruo quickly found out the medicine, poured out some, and gently rubbed it on Feng Chen's face.

Feng Chen was a little reluctant at the beginning, but later on, apart from twitching from the pain from time to time, the rest of the time he had a look of enjoyment, as if he wasn't the one whose face was swollen from the beating.

After eating and packing their bags, the group set out on the road in a mighty manner.

After walking for about three or four hours, everyone came to an intersection, and from a distance, they saw a man who looked like a postman standing on the side of the road on a horse.

As soon as the man saw them, he jumped off his horse and walked into the middle of the road.

The two guards at the front of the line walked up, and the man cupped his fists and bowed and said, "The humble post is the postman of Qihong Station."

After a few more people in the team looked at each other, they got off their horses and walked over.These few people are the big traveler under Feng Guo Da Honglu, who are responsible for arranging the board and lodging of the envoys who leave the country along the way.

After the post official knelt down and saluted them, he said that there was a large-scale landslide ahead, and the falling sand and stones blocked the road leading to Qihong Station. If you want to find a place to stay before sunset, you have to If you can go northeast, you will arrive at Mishan Post Station a hundred miles away.

Li Xiruo listened quietly for a while, then turned her head to look behind the team, and looked at Feng Chen who was riding a horse and mixed in with the team.

Feng Chen and him looked at each other, got off the horse, came to the carriage lightly and quickly, and said in a low voice: "Although it has rained recently, it's not a heavy rain. I think it's strange that this mountain has collapsed."

Li Xiruo seemed to have the same idea, nodded, glanced at the post official, then turned around and asked, "Is there anything special about the Mishan post?"

Feng Chen replied: "The station itself is fine, the problem is that it was built between Mount Mi and Mount Wuke. The road between these two mountains is very narrow, but it crosses Zhenli City and goes to the capital. Therefore, the post station will only be used when the situation is critical and an emergency military order needs to be sent. Over the years, the imperial court has never tried to let the visiting envoys go that way."

He squinted his eyes and looked at the looming Qihong Mountain in the distance, his expression was a little cold, he looked at it for a while, and said with a sneer: "There are so many of us going in, if we encounter any danger, we will not even be able to retreat, we will all die It's inside." The chill grew deeper on his face, he cast a glance at the postman and said, "I think it's the turn of Mount Mi to collapse after Qihong Mountain has collapsed."

Li Xiruo's complexion was also not very good, she bit her lower lip, frowned and looked ahead.

Feng Chen stretched out his hand and pressed his knuckles on the center of his frowning brows, then put the sword across his shoulder, put his hands on it, and said lazily and with some disdain: "Just find any reason to push me away. Well, you are the national teacher of the Li country, if you refuse to leave, they will not dare to force you to leave with a knife."

Li Xiruo glanced at him, turned around and summoned a servant boy, who whispered something in his ear.

The servant boy nodded, jumped on his horse, walked to the front of the team, and said to the senior officials: "My lords, our national teacher has always been thin, and he feels a little unwell recently, and the roads around Mount Mi are rough and difficult to walk. I'm afraid that the national teacher really can't bear the pain of the bumps, so please ask a few adults to find another wider and smoother road, so that my national teacher will suffer less hardship."

Those senior officials seemed to be in a difficult situation, after discussing for a while, they said: "Please wait for the national teacher to wait for the next official to ask the city guard for instructions."

Li Xiruo nodded, and a Daxing rode on his horse and ran to the southwest.

After about a cup of tea, someone came running from that direction on a horse.

The horse galloped at an extremely fast speed, kicked up a large amount of sand and dust, and the sound of the horse's hooves was messy and loud. It seemed that there were quite a few people coming.

In the flying dust, a man in yellow clothes gradually showed his figure, but before his face was fully revealed, Feng Chen suddenly slipped behind and got into a hole. in a carriage.

Feng Xiao glanced at him, then at the people in the distance, and immediately ran over as if thinking of something, lifted the curtain on the car and got in.

You Baiyan looked at the two of them, feeling curious in her heart, and jumped into the carriage.

Feng Chen got into the carriage, raised his hand and knocked out the official inside who was about to exclaim.

Feng Xiao jumped in, took a look at the man, dragged him to a corner and stuffed him, and sat by the door by himself.

When You Baiyan came in, when she saw that person, she was startled at first, then she glared at Feng Chen with rounded eyes, and finally sat down opposite Feng Xiao with her lips pouted.

Feng Xiao pulled the car curtain tightly, and the few people sat quietly, listening to the movement outside.

Outside the carriage, the man in yellow had already dismounted, walked up to Li Xiruo, pressed his left hand on his right, raised his forehead, bowed, and said, "Wei Xiao Wulan, the left school of Xicheng, has seen the national teacher."

Li Xiruo nodded in greeting, just about to open his mouth to speak, but his body trembled suddenly, he immediately covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, his brows were furrowed, his chest trembled violently a few times, it seemed that he was trying to hold back his cough.

But he quickly put down his hand, took a breath, turned his head, looked at Xiao Wulan and forced a smile, opened his mouth as if to speak.

Xiao Wulan supported him, and said: "Since the national teacher is unwell, these complicated etiquettes can be avoided."

Li Xiruo smiled, nodded and said: "Thank you, Captain, for your understanding."

Xiao Wulan said that the national teacher was polite, and then put on a very embarrassed expression and said: "National teacher, although the road around Mishan is rough, there is at least a post station, so that the national teacher can take a good rest and recuperate. If you go to other roads, it will take three days at the earliest before you can enter the city and find a place to stay. The national teacher is so unwell, I am afraid that it is really not suitable to sleep in the wilderness. According to my subordinates, it is better to take the road of Mishan good."

Li Xiruo frowned and coughed lightly.

An attendant beside him walked up and said: "Lord Xiao, please rest assured. The villain has served the national teacher for many years and has been doing his best. Now that the national teacher is ill, the villain dare not neglect the slightest. Respect the junior everywhere." Shen Wei, take care of everything properly and try to be comprehensive, so even if you sleep in the wilderness, the villain will never make the national teacher feel uncomfortable. In comparison, the pain of the bumpy road is really hard to alleviate, the villain is afraid. ..." The attendant raised his head, took a deep look at Xiao Wulan, and said, "Your Excellency, there is a risk of self-defeating."

Xiao Wulan looked at him expressionlessly, then turned to Li Xiruo and said: "The national teacher has a noble status and has come from a long way. He is actually a distinguished guest from our country. I am ordered to come to welcome you. Naturally, I dare not be negligent. Contempt. Now that the national teacher is ill, there is no reason for the lower officials to let the national teacher sleep in the wilderness. Moreover, the road to Mishan is a shortcut to the capital. Since the national teacher is ill, he should do it as soon as possible. Rushing to the capital to have the best doctor diagnose and treat, how can we delay the trip for a short-term convenience."

Xiao Wulan turned his head, looked at the attendant coldly and said: "As long as the national teacher fails to enter the capital for a day, he will have to endure the pain of lack of medical care, lack of medicine, and hard work. I am afraid that I will delay like this. Go on, the state teacher's condition will not get better, it will only get worse." He snorted coldly, and continued: "I think, except for some people with ulterior motives, everyone else should hope that the state teacher can arrive in the capital as soon as possible. .”

The guard didn't change his face, and continued with an attitude of neither overbearing nor humble: "My lord, I don't know, the national teacher is the most skilled person in this country, and I am afraid that he is also the most skilled person in the world. Even if there is a shortage of doctors and medicines, The national teacher also has his own method of recuperating and breathing. What's more, the villain has brought some pills with him. The national teacher only needs to take it regularly. After three or two days, he will recover. The villain thinks that the adult should choose a flat and stable one first. It's better to take some roads, and it's not too late to hurry after the national teacher is safe, otherwise, if the matter gets out in the future, I'm afraid those who don't know the inside will think that the general is unreasonable, and they will also think that Fengguo is arrogant and unreasonable. The safety of the envoys of other countries is really damaging to your reputation, and it is also damaging to the national prestige of the great country."

Xiao Wulan stared at him, gazing coldly at his face for a moment, and then said: "In this case, I don't have to force myself." He put one hand on the handle of the knife, pulled back his cloak with the other, and turned around. Walking back, he said as he walked, "Then let's go to the Qin Pass. I hope the national teacher can recover as soon as possible."
