Weicheng snow

Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi rode their horses south and stayed for half a day when they passed Shilin Village. The two walked from the archway to the mountain temple, and then walked back from the mountain temple to the archway. Shen Chi said one by one, Hua Shenchi only listened silently from the beginning to the end.

Because of the mass production of corpses by the Marrow Food Sect and Elder Tianyu's coming here to clean up the aftermath, the current Shilin Village has been completely reduced to an empty village, leaving no useful clues for the two of them, so Yi Qingchen led them again. Hua Shenchi walked through the forest to the camp at the other end.

Yi Qingchen had already made preparations to face an empty slope, and the reality did not disappoint him.

Right now he is wearing his clothes and standing on the soil slope where the camp used to be. The mountain wind blew his clothes away. Yi Qingchen lingered around for a while, and shook his head at Hua Shenchi helplessly, "It's too tidy up!" It's clean... Huh?" Hua Shenchi looked behind Yi Qingchen's eyes, and all he could see was the winding river beach under the cliff, and there was a group of people stopping there at the moment, watching Its clothes should be businessmen from the south.

Hua Shenchi only glanced at it, and then noticed a pale woman in the crowd, holding a small baby in her arms, something unexpected happened, accompanied by the woman's scream, everyone People gradually gathered around her, Yi Qingchen was surprised when he saw it, so he took a few steps forward, hoping to see it clearly, "Is the child sick? I think the woman was crying badly, wood, we Do you want to help?" Hua Shenchi was not very interested, "It's up to you."

Yi Qingchen laughed lightly, got on his horse, and carried Huachenchi down the mountain road, and soon came to the caravan. The guards of the caravan saw two people appearing out of thin air in the wilderness, and hurriedly drew their swords to be on guard. Yi Qingchen got off his horse at the right time, and explained to everyone, "The two of us are just traveling doctors passing by, and I just heard the baby crying here, so I came to see it."

Although the caravan didn't believe it all, the child coughed a few more times and coughed up some black blood. The people in the caravan no longer had time to care about Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi. Everyone was giving to the child's mother. Delivering medicine, handing wet wipes, and paying close attention to the child's condition.

Hua Shenchi looked at the child for a while, and wanted to go forward to diagnose the child, but the guards stopped him, "What are you going to do!" Hua Shenchi looked at the child, and asked inappropriately, "It's too young, at most it won't last. Half a day."

As soon as the words fell, the oldest man in the caravan got up and rushed to Hua Shenchi, cursing angrily, "What do you know! My grandson is still saved! As long as we arrive at Lingshan before tomorrow..." Hua Shen Chi sighed silently, took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured a light blue pill into the palm of his hand, broke it into four parts, and handed the smaller one to Yi Qingchen beside him, "Give it to is you."

Yi Qingchen understood immediately, before the guards had time to react, Yi Qingchen moved to the side of the baby, and quickly fed the medicine into the baby's mouth, the baby was choked by the sudden foreign object, coughing non-stop, holding the baby The woman immediately grabbed Yi Qingchen's wrist with red eyes, "What did you feed him!"

The guards drew their knives out of their sheaths and struck at Yi Qingchen, but they missed nothing. While dodging the attack, Yi Qingchen explained to everyone, "My friend is a doctor. I gave him some medicine and he will recover soon. .”

As if to prove what Yi Qingchen said was true, the baby coughed for a while and gradually calmed down, and his breathing was much smoother than before. The guards were extremely shocked, and the leader of the caravan hurried back to the baby to confirm that he After the grandson's condition improved, he couldn't stop kissing and hugging, and the mother who just returned the child turned around and walked towards Yi Qingchen and Hua Chenchi, hugging him respectfully, "Thank you two precious grandsons who saved the old man , The old man was reckless earlier, I wonder if five hundred gold can cover the expenses of the doctor's visit?"

But Hua Shenchi said lightly, "I don't charge money." The leader was very puzzled, Hua Shenchi said, "I want to know the reason why this child got sick."

The leader realized it immediately, and invited Hua Shenchi and Yi Qingchen to sit on the carpet, and treated them to food and drinks, and just now explained the caravan's recent encounters word by word.

It turned out that these caravans belonged to the Dugu family, one of the four great families. Although they were only responsible for the simplest transportation, they traveled around the south of the Yangtze River and the Erhai Lake all the year round, doing tea business.

Last month they went to Erhai Lake to sell some Longjing tea. In previous years, they would choose to stay longer after selling tea to recuperate their body and mind, but this time they did not dare to stay any longer because there was an outbreak of an epidemic there. Pain, and then the black blood vessels will appear briefly in the weak skin, and then the blood will turn black, and the sick person will turn into a pool of blood within three months.

Although they evacuated in a timely manner, the youngest child among them still did not catch the disease. They wrote to their hometown for help, but before they received a reply, the child's condition began to deteriorate.

In desperation, he had no choice but to take advantage of the opportunity of the medicine spraying conference to go to Lingshan, but he didn't expect that the road was delayed by more hours than expected, and the child's condition took a turn for the worse.If the child hadn't been coughing up blood, they certainly wouldn't have chosen the current situation to stay here.

After Hua Shenchi listened, he looked at the sleeping child again, fell into deep thought, and Yi Qingchen asked the leader, "Uncle, did you hear any strange news over Erhai Lake, such as the Eating Marrow Sect?"

Mentioning this, the leader suddenly realized, "Yes, yes. I heard from the locals that the Murong Mansion in charge of guarding the southern border has been captured by the Marrow Sect, and the mansion there has become the territory of the Marrow Sect. Completely abandoned the southern border, and withdrew the army to the Central Plains. But in the past few months, the southern border under the rule of the Marrow Sect has been quite peaceful, and people are just passing by, so it is not impossible to talk about it."

Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi looked at each other, and the two stood up at the same time, before the leader could react, Hua Shenchi handed a porcelain bottle to the leader's hand, and said, "Three times a day, the amount of food each time is the same as what I had before. It's similar." The leader held the porcelain bottle in a daze, and looked at the two of them puzzled, "Leaving so early? Why don't you stay and have a meal?"

Yi Qingchen thanked Hua Shenchi on behalf of Hua Shenchi, "No need, I am in a hurry to go back to Weicheng to visit my old friend, I think the old man's meal has already been prepared and waiting for us."

As soon as the words fell, the leader showed a confused face again, "You are going to Weicheng...it's not easy to get in there now, there are royal soldiers everywhere, I heard that the son of Zhennan King asked the emperor for orders , using Weicheng as the second barrier to protect the capital, so they sent heavy troops to guard it.

Yi Qingchen knew in his heart that this was Murong Qian's masterpiece, so he didn't have any scruples, he just thanked the leader, turned around and rode away.On the way, Hua Shenchi asked Yi Qingchen, "Do you have a way to enter the city?"

Yi Qingchen turned his head to look at Hua Shenchi, staring confidently at the latter's deep eyes protruding from behind the flying black veil, "Of course there are, because the son of King Zhennan is Xiaoqian."

As soon as the words fell, Hua Shenchi's eyes dimmed imperceptibly, "I see, I forgot this..."

The two arrived at the hills outside Weicheng at midnight. It was already the season of peach blossoms, and there were many peach trees on the hills covered with small green peaches.Yi Qingchen led a horse and Hua Shenchi stood side by side under an ancient tree with a surviving pistil on the edge of the cliff. The former pointed to the brightly lit city not far away, with dazzling sparks in his eyes, and proudly joined Hua Shenchi. Shen Chi introduced, "This is Wei City!"

Hua Shenchi looked at the scenery of Weicheng for a moment, then stared silently at Yi Qingchen's joyful side face, and did not look away until he was discovered by Yi Qingchen. Embarrassed, he quickly got on his horse and urged Hua Chenchi to say, "Hurry up and enter the city, it's getting late."

Just as the leader of the caravan said before, the two of them were indeed strictly interrogated at the city gate. Not only were the horses detained, but even the daggers used for self-defense were confiscated. Yi Qingchen had his own concerns and did not want to To disturb Murong Qian who was sleeping at this time, he let the guards' hands touch his body.

In the confusion, she actually felt that someone touched her butt and even patted it, Yi Qingchen gritted her teeth and endured it.

After a while, the guards stopped their search and turned to the two of them, "It's past the time to open the city gate. If you still want to enter the city, you must be picked up by city residents."

Yi Qingchen was in a bit of a dilemma, he thought he would arrive at Weicheng before dusk, so he didn't write to Qiaoniang and Jiang Zhige, he didn't want the horses to get tired halfway, and they couldn't find a station to change the horses, so it would be easy It was delayed for two or three hours, and the arrival time in Weicheng was also postponed to Genglou midnight.

Right now is the time when everyone is sleeping peacefully, although the Qiaoshou Pavilion may still be open, but for people like Qiaoniang who pay attention to maintaining their health, there will only be some waiters and waiters in the store, and the deity will return early. The family went to bed.

Hua Shenchi realized Yi Qingchen's difficulty, so he said to him, "If it's not possible, let's go to Taoqiu to rest tonight." The guards outside didn't know what was going on, but behind the city gate, a snow-white figure appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The guards immediately knelt down to salute, and called out, "General." Murong Qian didn't respond, nor did he look at Yi Qingchen, but stared solemnly at the man in black who was standing beside Yi Qingchen. The flowers sink into the pond.

Now that the memory has recovered a lot, Yi Qingchen naturally remembered how wrong Murong Qian and Hua Shenchi were, so he never thought of taking Hua Shenchi to see Murong Qian, who did not expect the latter to be I found it suddenly, and Yi Qingchen was a little caught off guard, so he rushed to meet him, and smiled with Murong Qian, "Xiao Qian, brother is back."

Only then did Murong Qian withdraw his gaze from Hua Shenchi, and looked at Yi Qingchen, a smile immediately appeared on his expressionless face, "Brother Xue is so hurtful, Xiaoqian, if you want to enter the city, why not Are you willing to declare Xiaoqian's name?"

Yi Qingchen said helplessly, "Isn't it because you are afraid that you will fall asleep? I remember that you used to go to bed very early."

Murong Qian laughed, then sighed helplessly, "Brother Xue really cares about Xiao Qian, but Xiao Qian hasn't gone to bed early for a long time, it's been like this since ten years ago..."

"...Brother Xue just remember, if Brother Xue needs it, Xiaoqian is always there."

Murong Qian's words made Yi Qingchen feel very uncomfortable, and he didn't know how to answer the words for a while, Murong Qian didn't want Yi Qingchen to be embarrassed, seeing the smile on the latter's face froze, he immediately let out a chuckle to ease the embarrassment, "Xue My brother is tired from running around, why don't you go to my place to stay tonight?"

With all the concerns in Yi Qingchen's heart, he politely declined Murong Qian's invitation, "I want to go see Master Liu first." Murong Qian had expected Yi Qingchen to answer like this, so he didn't show any disappointment, he just led the way, "Master Liu is still in the Survival Hall. I have invited the best military doctor accompanying him to diagnose and treat him. His condition has stabilized now."

Yi Qingchen was overjoyed when he heard that, and unconsciously accelerated his pace.Due to the reason for the marching and stationing, there are patrolling soldiers everywhere in the city, the streets are silent, only the neat sound of armor clashing, Yi Qingchen hurried past, did not see those familiar red-clothed police officers, and said doubtfully, " Where's the police on patrol?"

Murong Qian said, "The arresters are only the local guards in Weicheng, and they are no match for the army in terms of strength. Right now, the members of the Food Marrow Sect may go north at any time. There is no room for negligence, so let the army replace the local defense for the time being." Yi Yi After listening to Qingchen, he didn't say much.

The three of them soon arrived at the door of the Survival Hall. Boss Huang had received Murong Qian's order earlier, and had been waiting in front of the door. Seeing the three of them in Yi Qingchen, he hurriedly stood sideways to the door, respectfully and with Yi Qingchen said, "Mr. Yi, please come inside." Yi Qingchen had never seen Boss Huang flattering him, and couldn't adapt for a while, and got goosebumps all over his body. He was about to hide in the house when he heard Huang The boss asked Hua Shenchi behind him, "Is this young master a disciple of Lingshan?"

Yi Qingchen looked back after hearing the words, and saw Boss Huang was staring at the pattern on Hua Shenchi's robe, because the pattern would be covered by the veil under the bamboo hat on weekdays, Yi Qingchen didn't pay much attention, so he also He didn't deliberately tell Hua Shenchi to hide it, but Boss Huang has a sharp eye, even if he has been away from Lingshan for several years, he can recognize these lines at a glance.

Hearing the words, Hua Shenchi only asked indifferently, "So?" Boss Huang kept rubbing his palms, and flattered Yi Qingchen, "Mr. Yi is really a good-looking talent. Earlier, the villain had eyes but didn't know Mount Tai... ...." Before he could finish speaking, he rolled his eyes up and passed out on the ground.

Yi Qingchen was so scared, Murong Qian also put his hand on the saber around his waist, and the surrounding guards looked around vigilantly, hoping to find a suspicious target in the night.

Everyone was like a frightened bird, only Hua Shenchi walked around the fallen Boss Huang silently, walked up to Yi Qingchen, and said lightly, "Go in." Yi Qingchen realized later, "What did you do? "Hua Shenchi admitted, "He knows too much and will cause trouble."

Murong Qian held his chin thoughtfully, and after a long while, he hooked his hands with the guard beside him. When the guard came closer, Murong Qian turned his face and whispered something in his ear. The guard understood where he was. Nodding, he ordered softly with the rest of the guards, "Take it away."

Yi Qingchen stared in astonishment at the two guards carrying the fainted Boss Huang into the night, and hurriedly asked Murong Qian, "What will you do with him?" Murong Qian said calmly, "Huamu... the playboy's If the news leaks out, it will inevitably attract the coveted eyes of the Marrow Sect. At that time, the time originally expected to attack Weicheng may be greatly shortened, and our supplies have not yet been stocked up to meet the enemy. Don't worry, brother Xue, Xiaoqian will not Whatever happens to him, let him out after the war is over."

Yi Qingchen didn't want to intercede for Boss Huang privately, while publically he had to worry about the overall situation, so he only silently sympathized with Boss Huang from the bottom of his heart, and took Hua Shenchi and Murong Qian to the second floor of the Survival Hall.
