Fortunately, Qi Kang'an saw who was coming at the critical moment and stopped his strength. He only took a few steps back to stabilize himself and was not injured.
Otherwise, if Qi Kang'an, who is already cultivating his internal energy, kicks over with all his strength, he will have to be carried by others the rest of the way.
Without giving the bad guy a chance to complain, Qi Kang'an preemptively shouted with a cold face: "What happened? You are also a bad guy after all, why are you so unruly?
I can see clearly that you have withdrawn your strength, otherwise you would have to stay here today."
These words scared Chatou so much that he broke into a cold sweat.
Qi Kang'an had nothing to worry about. Even officials in the disaster relief team were not allowed to approach at will. Chai Tou rushed over carelessly just now. Qi Kang'an even kicked him to death, and he had no time to reason.
Chatou's face turned pale and he was so frightened that he knelt down and banged his head on the ground several times, "General, forgive me."
Qi Kang'an hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him. Isn't this girl stupid? He bit his head open. What if he encounters a place with plague?
Don't bring down the entire team.
"You have something to say."
Seeing that Qi Kang'an really had no intention of punishing him, he took a breath and said urgently: "General, there is no water for the prisoners there, and dozens of them have fainted. If we want to continue walking today, we have to lose weight."
People."
Oops, this prayer for health and safety is familiar. He looked at the poor man like an idiot and pointed to the mountains and forests on the left and right. "There are fruits in the woods, grass and wild vegetables on the roadside. Not only can you satisfy your hunger, but you can also replenish some water."
Cha Tou was startled for a moment, then his eyes lit up, he thanked her hurriedly and prayed for Kangan, and then ran back.
Prince Li, whose lips were so parched, walked over, glanced at the back of Chaotou, who was running a bit like a monkey, and asked in a low voice: "Is there a decrease in the number of prisoners due to exile?"
Qi Kang'an shook his head and held his breath: "The prisoners are already so short of water that many of them have fainted from heatstroke."
Prince Li said in disbelief, "Those government officials don't do human affairs."
The "weak scholar" imperial doctor on their side sent out a carriage to load water just in case, but the government officials actually loaded a cart full of sundries and still tried to make money.
Why, now that they are short of water, they come to this place. Do you want this place to share some water with them?
What good things are you thinking about?
Qi Kang'an didn't know Cha Tou's plan. He didn't have much contact with real dignitaries like Prince Li, but he had dealt with Cha Tou many times before.
You will know what the other person is looking for.
They only protect, not waiters. To put it cruelly, even if the prison team is completely empty, as long as their disaster relief mission can be successfully completed, they can offset their merits and demerits.
But Chaotou and the others were different. When transporting prisoners, the imperial court allowed the prisoners to reduce their numbers. After all, the journey was far away and no one knew what would happen. However, there was a quota for the number of people to be reduced, which was one-tenth.
In other words, only one out of ten prisoners is allowed on the road. Therefore, in the Qilin Kingdom, the government officials will not be too cruel to the prisoners. After all, if people are tortured to death too many, they will all die.
The chaotou dared not prepare enough water even after being warned, but there was a grain transport team in the front, and the grain transport team also loaded more than twenty carriages of water!
But, who do you think is stupid?
His soldiers need to maintain their fighting strength at all times, the fire-headed soldiers need to push carts, and they need water even more.
but··
Qi Kang'an glanced at the sun that had already set in the west, and thought of it as a good deed.
"Rest where you are."
As soon as the sound fell, the leading soldiers collapsed on the ground.
This is an official road, but also a mountain road. There is no big place in the first twenty or thirty kilometers, so the long queue can only rest in place with no end in sight.
In the past, Qi Kang'an would not have dared to make such an arrangement. The Qi family army was too scattered. If there was an enemy attack, the head and tail would not be taken care of. This is the most dangerous rest formation.
But isn't there Black Tiger in the dark now? He is very confident.
Prince Li and the four lieutenants all knew about the existence of Black Tiger, so they had no objection to Qi Kangan's order and each did what they should do.
Prince Li is now mainly responsible for the sixty-nine imperial doctors.
The principal of the hospital is responsible for the emperor's health, so naturally he will not come with him. The person in charge of the imperial physician's side during this trip is the fifty-five-year-old Vice-President Zheng Wu.
There are not many doctors who work in the Imperial Hospital who are strong and healthy. It's better to be younger. Elderly people like Mr. Wu look much older after walking for two days.
Fortunately, the grain transport team didn't move very fast. Even if they were tired, they could still keep up.
A group of imperial doctors no longer cared about their image. They all sat on the ground, almost like the fire-headed soldiers. The only difference was that these people still wanted to save face and couldn't do anything when they were paralyzed on the ground. They all helped each other to the roadside.
On the grass, I found stones or sat on the grass.
They are all imperial doctors, and it is trivial to use medicines such as repelling snakes and insects, so there is no need to worry about being bitten.
When Prince Li came over, Mr. Wu, who was sitting on the stone, put his hands on his knees and stood up to salute.
Prince Li hurriedly quickened his pace and went to stop him, "We are traveling, and we don't have to perform these false etiquettes anymore. Can Mr. Wu and everyone else tolerate it?"
Mr. Wu didn't force it. He was really exhausted. As a representative, he thanked Queen Li County first and said with a smile: "I'm really tired, but I can still hold on."
He is the eldest among this group of imperial doctors. If he can hold on, the others are naturally embarrassed to say that they can't hold on, and they all say that everything is fine.
Here Prince Li is chatting with the imperial doctors, while over there the grain transport team has begun to cook rice.
It was said that getting some thin ones at this time would be enough to replenish everyone's water, but they were not sure what would happen later. The fire-headed soldiers didn't dare, so they only made steamed rice and chicken soup. They also picked the empty ones on the way.
Less wild vegetables, add a plate of cold wild vegetables.
Being able to eat such a meal in this deserted wilderness, not only the soldiers, but also the doctors all wolfed down the food with expressions of satisfaction on their faces.
It is impossible to set up a tent for resting on such a narrow road, so everyone can only sleep in the open air. It is better to wrap up more clothes to avoid catching cold.
There is no way, the conditions are like this.
-
In the stillness of the night, suddenly a tiger roar came from afar.
This tiger roar was like turning on a mysterious switch, and then there were tiger roars from all over the mountains around them.
The soldiers were on high alert. When the first tiger roar sounded, everyone had already stood up and took out their weapons to be on guard.
Are they surrounded by tigers?
When the roar of the tiger became louder and more frequent, the imperial doctors were also awakened. They had never experienced such a scene, and they all huddled together, their faces turned pale with fright, trembling.
At this time, Qi Kang'an had no time to take care of the others personally, so he sent his own soldiers to inform everyone that the tiger was his queen. He also drew out his flat-headed knife and stood at the front of the team with Prince Li and Prince Li.
