Chapter 359 Brothers
“……..I have passed Laishui now, how far is it from Shanggu County?”
"If the original Wuruan Pass was not taken away by Yuan Shao, there should be more than 170 miles. Now that we are taking a detour, we have to walk thirty miles more. If we count the twists and turns of the mountain road, we will only take about five days to get out of the mountain to reach the boundary of Shanggu County."
“…….Well, let Qianzhao lead the team, I will lead the guards to leave first.”
"The leader is depressed and will not know that it is rainy now, and the mountains are slippery and prone to accidents. Don't walk alone!"
"It's too long... I'm afraid that the sour scholars can't afford to wait."
Under the forest where the mountain breeze was stroking in the mountainous wind, in the team that was resting, two horses were standing tall, looking at the winding road in the distance. Below the rock, Dian Wei and Li Ke took several guards to guard the surroundings, looking at the two people talking upwards from time to time. Li Ke held the mace and pursed his lips, and there were still wet marks left in his eyes. It seemed that he had cried not long ago.
Only they knew the best in their hearts how this group of people who came from the White Wolf to this point. Although the weak scholar did not have much ability, he finally settled his home properly, almost everyone recognized and grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
"Rou also hopes that the county magistrate is fine, but the leader is the root of the five counties in the north. If there is any mistake, even if the last general dies, he will not be able to blame him for his luck."
As an old subordinate, Yan Rou has always been the calmest member of the "wolf pack". He complements the fiercely traction, just like Gongsun Zhi's two arms. At this time, only he dares to say this when the wolf king is anxious.
Next to him, Jueying swayed her head and on the horse's back, Gongsun Zhi closed his eyes and said nothing. After a while, he let out a heavy breath, his voice was heavy: "...... In the past few years, I have taken you around and fought a family. I thought this would make up for the loyalty you had with me and suffered and even paid for your life."
Yan Rou pursed her lips, lowered her head, and listened quietly.
Gongsun Zhi turned his head and took a deep breath: "I thought that Soru's body was just a minor problem caused by the injury that day... But I miscalculated one thing. His body was originally thin and thin... I thought it would be fine if I was well raised. Now I realized that it was me who was the one who was in charge and didn't take good care of you."
"Chief, don't say that, you are the king of the wolf pack... You have too many things to take care of, and there will always be some mistakes..."
In the air, the whip suddenly blew, Gongsun Zhi pulled his horse's head and roared: "The King of Farts" Angry voice echoed at the foot of the mountain. On the winding mountain road, countless figures stood up. When he looked over, he rode the war horse, turned back and fell down the big rock, and pointed the whip to the north: "I can't even take good care of the brothers around me... That's my brother who was born and died! And I, the king, will lose my best brother."
"...I'm going to lose my best brother!"
The loud words echoed one after another. Gongsun Zhi waved his whip and waved his hand to let the riders forward: "I want to go back first, you can follow the move."
While giving orders, a cavalry rushed over from the mountain road behind. Then he received the news. The voice rode his horse here with excitement and shouted: "Lord, Cao Ang is not dead."
Hearing the words, the raised arms slowly fell down. Gongsun Zhi turned around and frowned. When the general who rushed over came closer, he asked, "What did you just say?"
"Zi Xiu is not dead... and he also brought an old man named Hua Tuo, saying that he could cure sour scholars."
At this moment, Gongsun Zhi finally had a smile on his face, and he also asked Cao Ang in detail the whole story of his death, and his tone was rapid: "Where is Hua Tuo?"
"He is in the back team with Pan Wushuang."
"That's great." Dian Wei, Li Ke, Gongsun Xu and other generals all shouted loudly. On this side, Gongsun Zhi raised his head and sucked, waved his big hand suddenly, and shouted: "Han Long!"
"exist!"
One man urged the horse to hold his fists in the crowd.
Gongsun Zhi pressed down and ordered him: "Take a few riders back immediately, find a way to bring Hua Tuo with him, and drive back to Shanggu County as fast as possible, and come with the other party on his back."
After giving a clean and neat command, he looked at the light reflected by the sunshine shining in the sky clouds in the distance, and roared his reins and shouted: "Go." The black horse neighed and raised its hooves, galloped on the mountain road, and the mountain wind whimpered. In a moment, hundreds of guard wolf riders spread along with the figures of running ahead.
*********************
I have been lying on the bed for a long time in the quiet backyard of the government office. The bright sky light shone in from outside the window frame and poured onto the ground to form mottled spots.
The door creaked and slowly pushed open.
The little child stepped in with a basin of warm water, wrung out the towel to clean the man on the bed, who had been thin enough to be undesirable. On the wooden blank face, bright eyes were full of premature sensibility, and the fingers of the warm and humid towel were wiped with movement, and the weak and pale face slowly shook his eyes a few times.
"...Yu'er, what's the time now?"
"It's already afternoon, it's already."
"How did I sleep today... I've been so long." The weak body got up with difficulty. Dongfang Yu hurriedly went to support him, and then sat down on the edge of the bed and waved his hand: "Come here with a crutch... the adoptive father is going out for a walk..."
"No, Jijiu said, the adoptive father's body cannot move." The little man choked in his voice, but he still handed over the crutch leaning against the wall.
"It doesn't matter... people, you have to walk around..." Dongfang Sheng smiled slightly, and while walking with the help of his adopted son, he walked past the threshold with a crutch. The red sky light pierced into his eyes and narrowed weakly: "...... You need to see more of this kind of scenery, otherwise you won't be able to see it one day."
The scholar's out came out to alarm the servants and maids in the mansion. Li Ru, who was handling official duties in the government office, also came here quickly. When he saw his appearance, he was not easy to scold him. He just advised the other party to go back and recuperate. After a while, Dongfang Sheng straightened his body, waved his hand, and smiled and said, "I just want to go around... There is no need for such a big battle. How about accompanying me to sacrifice wine?"
Li Ru glanced at him: "Okay, let's go with you."
"......Salute to the wine, when will the leader come back..." Dongfang Sheng and Li Ru slowly walked across the bridge and walked towards the flowerbed path, "He has been walking for a long time..."
"I'm already on the road, I should come back soon..." Li Ru sighed. The scholar's body was getting worse and worse. Not to mention the distance from Shangdang County to Shanggu County, the mountain road alone is a hurdle that hinders speed. If you really can get back, it will be at the end of the month at the latest.
Dongfang Sheng turned his head and smiled in the sunset: "The sacrificial wine has started to lie again..."
The two of them talked for a while, but they didn't go far. The scholar was exhausted. He sat under the eaves and looked at the redder sunshine. He became dizzy. In his trance, a figure strode towards this side in the corridor in the distance. He smiled and shook his head, thinking that he was dreaming, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When I woke up, I was on the bed. It was already dark outside. In the dim lights, it was Gongsun Zhi who was holding the medicine bowl.
"...I'm back, I'm sour!" he said softly.
