When Tang Shiyue woke up, she was lying on a large wooden board.
This should be the wall of the carriage. There were many arrows on it, which hurt her all over. But fortunately, she was tripped by these arrows and hung on the roots of an ancient tree.
Tang Shiyue looked around in a daze. The sky darkened in front of her eyes and the wooden board beneath her was shaking, as if it would be carried away by the current in the next moment.
Tang Shiyue quickly used his hands and feet to grab the roots of the ancient tree and climbed up the shore. He only took a few steps and then fell to the ground and fainted.
After a busy night outside, human voices could be faintly heard, and the light of torches was particularly obvious in the dark night. However, Tang Shiyue had several wounds on his body, and after a soak in the water, his whole body became hot, so he heard nothing.
A whole night passed.
A round-faced old woman came over yawning, and was immediately startled when she saw a person lying on the ground.
She quickly stepped away and saw that she was not moving but her breathing was faintly rising and falling. Then she mustered up the courage to come over and carefully turned her over.
When she saw the face clearly, the old woman screamed suddenly, and her hands loosened suddenly. Tang Shiyue fell back to the ground and groaned in pain.
The woman turned pale and stepped back, muttering, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me... I didn't steal your child, I didn't... It wasn't me who stole it!"
...
...
Tang Shiyue frowned slightly, as if she was about to wake up in the next moment.
The old woman became even more panicked and retreated further and further away. Seeing that she could not move, she got up and stumbled away.
Tang Shiyue was still lying on the ground, her cheeks burning red, unconscious.
A brisk sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. A young lady with matted hair came over. She was startled when she saw Tang Shiyue and screamed, "Someone come quickly! Someone come quickly! Someone has fainted!"
She called several people over and they hurriedly carried the person in. The old woman in that family saw that she had a fever, so she rubbed her back with wine and cleaned her wounds.
But after taking care of her all night, the fever did not subside. The old woman was kind-hearted and could not bear to see her die like this, so she had to ask for a doctor. When the doctor came and took a look, he was surprised: "Isn't this Lady Fu?"
When he said this, others immediately recognized her: "Yes! This is really Empress Fu!"
Everyone immediately paid unprecedented attention to the situation. The doctor rushed forward to treat the patient and asked the skillful young lady to help bandage the wound. Then he called two young men over and said, "Hurry up and tell Jubao Village that Goddess Fu is here! Tell them to come and save us!"
At this time, Ren Dong was still drifting downstream in the river.
Ren Dong is good at Kung Fu and swimming, but at this moment, he completely regarded himself as Tang Shiyue. He did not put in any effort and just held on to a piece of driftwood and drifted with the flow.
The further down the Blackwater River went, the steeper the slope and the faster the water flowed. He was dizzy from the water and only vaguely knew that his senior brother might not be able to keep up.
No matter what, we must rescue our master's wife.
His life had always been gray. All the colors came into being when his master asked him in the dental practice, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"
He always remembered that time when the beautiful lady who looked like a fairy smiled and said to him: "What a person looks like is determined by nature. A man doesn't rely on his looks to make a living, so he doesn't need to care what others say."
There was only one thought in his mind, that he must rescue his master's wife, even if it meant death.
Suddenly, everything went dark before my eyes.
He seemed to be washed into a tunnel by the water, but the height above the tunnel was still about three or four feet, so breathing was not difficult.
Going downstream, it seemed like only a few miles, the sight in front of him became brighter. Ren Dong tried to hold on to a piece of driftwood, and when he opened his eyes slightly to look, he could only see the sky passing by quickly.
After drifting about a mile, he suddenly tripped over a piece of driftwood and stopped for a moment. When he was about to be washed away, he suddenly saw something, and he stretched his body like a fly, grabbed the exposed roots of the ancient tree with one hand, and then slowly, step by step, climbed up to the table.
There was indeed a water stain on the ground, and there was vaguely a petite human figure, with half a broken arrow next to it.
Ren Dong was delighted, and he didn't know where he got the strength from, but he rushed in with weak legs.
He saw a villager and asked anxiously, "Excuse me, have you seen a young lady, about..."
"Mrs. Fu, right?" the villager said anxiously, "She's at Granny Li's house! The doctor is looking after her! I'll take you there!"
Ren Dong was overjoyed and hurried forward. Soon, he entered Granny Li's house. Seeing Tang Shiyue lying on the couch, Ren Dong wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. He knelt down on his knees and said, "Master's Wife!"
Tang Shiyue is in a coma.
She didn't wake up until everyone else arrived, even Su Ji.
She was given medicine, her wounds were bandaged, and she returned to Jubao Village. Her fever gradually subsided until the next day, but she still did not wake up.
She did not look seriously ill and could swallow some soup instinctively, but she remained unconscious. Su Ji and the doctors they invited were all helpless.
The medicine for Feng Ji had been gathered, but she hadn't told him how to use it. Su Ji couldn't figure out the pharmacology for a while and didn't dare to use it directly.
The Dragon Guards sent reports to the capital one by one...
…………
At this time, Anlan Pass.
In fact, the original Anlan Pass was indeed guarded by the sea as Huo Qijing said, and faced the Daxi Kingdom across the sea.
Now, although it is still called Anlan Pass, it has been moved back thousands of miles, so people here are accustomed to calling it Xiao Anlan Pass.
Now, there is nothing to do between Dayan and Dayu, so when Huo Qijing is in Anlan Pass, especially since he is just a small garrison commander, the most common thing he does is patrolling and training soldiers.
Although Tang Shiyue was always worried about him, Huo Qijing actually felt like a fish in water in the military camp.
After all, he grew up in the military camp since he could speak. This kind of place is so familiar to him. He integrated into it as quickly as possible and grew up as quickly as possible.
After lunch, everyone practiced martial arts on the arena as usual. Because Huo Qijing's fighting ability was too strong, there were few people who dared to challenge him. So a few days ago, he proposed that he could fight against any enemy... In simple terms, any number of enemies would be fine, and he would serve as their sparring partners.
After all, the military camp is a place that requires group strength. This kind of training method is certainly more valuable than fighting alone. It’s just that everyone cannot adapt to it for a while and always feels like they are bullying others.
But after a few fights, they became so bloodthirsty that they forgot all about bullying or not.
As soon as one group finished, another group quickly gathered on the stage. The leading soldier walked up and shouted, "Master Huo, come on!"
Huo Qijing responded calmly, threw away the spear he had just used, took off his outer robe, revealing his muscular body with strong arms and waist.
He took a stick that reached his eyebrows and jumped onto the arena again.
A few men shouted and rushed forward, and in an instant they fought in a group. The hundreds of soldiers below were all excited, and their cheers and applause almost shook the roof down.
Someone walked over slowly, with his hands behind his back, looking up from afar.
To be honest, Huo Qijing was indeed beyond his expectations.
He always looked indifferent, and was careful about what he ate and dressed. He looked like the kind of "pretentious young man" that was most hated in the military camp. He thought he was bound to suffer.
However, although he appeared to be cold and taciturn, he actually acted in a very disciplined manner, and he quickly gained everyone's recognition at an incredible speed.
For example, now, in fact, in this kind of group fight, he has countless kinds of kung fu that can be used to fight very "beautifully", but he chose to fight with everyone, close combat, and win in a way that everyone can fully understand and learn.
In this way, those who compete against him can gain something, and those who watch from the audience will be more able to empathize with his victory and admire and love him even more.
This is the way to be a general, to quickly win the hearts of the people.
The situation is very good.
It depends on what choice he makes next.
Yan Shiwei grabbed a soldier and ordered, "Bring Huo Qijing down and ask him to come see me."
The soldier's face was flushed with excitement. He was startled when he was grabbed by him, and quickly responded: "General Yan, good, good."
After a while, Huo Qijing came over, with sweat on his forehead, and bowed: "General."
Yan Shiwei asked, "Is the Lady of Enfu County in Qinzhou your fiancée?"
Huo Qijing was slightly startled, "Yes." He stared into his eyes closely, "Did something happen to her?"
Yan Shiwei frowned: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent me a secret letter, telling me to tell you that County Lord Enfu is seriously ill, and asking if you want to go back to visit him..."
Halfway through his words, Huo Qijing, who had remained calm, suddenly changed his expression. Yan Shiwei frowned but insisted on finishing his words, "It's up to you whether you want to go or not. I won't force you..."
Before he finished speaking, Huo Qijing quickly bowed and said, "General, I would like to ask for a few days' leave."
Yan Shiwei was so disappointed: "Think it through! If you leave now, all your hard work will be in vain!"
He just said, "I have thought it through."
Yan Shiwei had no choice but to say, "I'll lend you my Zhuifeng. I've arranged for the four post stations along the way, Guang, Xiang, Jin, and Liang, so you can change horses."
"Thank you!"
Huo Qijing turned around and left without even changing his clothes.
Yan Shiwei looked at his back, sighed, and said to the deputy general: "He is a rare good seedling. I wanted to polish him well... It's a pity that heroes are hard to resist beautiful women. I'm afraid he will be another Huo Yi."
"No," the deputy general laughed and said, "If a man doesn't indulge himself in romance when he's young, he's wasted his youth! Even though Huo Qijing is a little soft-hearted when it comes to women, he's very capable in other areas. He's definitely not comparable to Huo Yi, a loser who only knows calligraphy and painting."
Yan Shiwei raised his eyebrows: "You are optimistic about him."
"Of course," the deputy general said with a smile, "I've been keeping an eye on the general every day during his absence!"
