Chapter 259 Rescue
Chapter 259 Rescue
After the heavy rain, the air in the desert is not as dry and dreary as before, allowing people to open their hearts and take a good breath.
Although the dark clouds receded, it was already late, and there were no sunset clouds in the sky, and a crescent moon quietly climbed to the sky.This land has been dry for a long time and has dew, but it rains more heavily.Many small hills have slipped, and some spies reported that there is a quicksand area ahead, which is quite complicated and dangerous.
"Your Majesty, our army will set up camp here tonight. It has rained so much and the sand is loose. If we continue to move forward, we may encounter danger."
A team that looked like an ordinary desert business traveler stopped beside a sand dune. The passers-by took advantage of this gap to take out water and food. Although it was time for a rest, the team was not loose. The carriage is the center and surrounds it to form a defense.
And the respectful leader just bent down to ask the person in the carriage for instructions.
The son in the car wrapped his face in a black veil, only revealing a pair of heroic and beautiful eyes. He shook his head slowly and frowned slightly. It was Yu Wenyong, the emperor of Zhou.
"No, we ventured across the desert for thousands of miles just to catch Qi State off guard. Qi State has already strengthened the city defenses of Jinyang and Luoyang. The old strategy will definitely not work. The Turkic people in this place are afraid to come in. The Qi army never imagined that we would Make a surprise attack around the North Road," Yu Wenyong said.
"Yes...then let's go a few more miles and pass through the quicksand area before resting." The team leader bowed and greeted the surrounding troops. The fast caravan is ready to go again and marches forward.
The whole journey was also a hasty march, and Yu Wenyong did not slack off in his personal expedition.The wheels of the carriage turned again, and the sun set outside. He set up the curtains, leaned against the window lattice with his forehead propped on one hand, and looked at the endless rolling desert landscape outside.
Thinking that he was approaching the place where that person was, Yu Wenyong smiled for no reason.
Apparently, His Majesty the Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom didn't consider that he was leading an army thousands of miles to make a surprise attack at this moment, instead of driving around to visit relatives and friends. The person in his heart would definitely not be able to laugh when he saw him.
"Dangerous! There is quicksand ahead!"
Yu Wenyong was sketching the man's voice and smile in his mind, and for no reason, he shook violently with the carriage.
There was a sound of chaos from the people and horses who opened the way ahead, and the horse neighed, and his guards stood by the side of the carriage and drew their knives to guard against it.
"What's the matter?" Yu Wenyong raised the curtain of the carriage and asked.Although the guards dissuaded him, Yu Wenyong got out of the carriage.The hustle and bustle in front subsided after a while, and a soldier rushed over to report: "Your Majesty, there is a pit ahead after the quicksand has fallen. It may be dangerous to walk, it is better to detour..."
"Take me to have a look." Yu Wenyong said.
"Yes!" The man took the order.
Quicksand is what business travelers who walk in the desert are most afraid of encountering.As long as you are trapped in it, you are close to death.The bottomless hourglass-like terrain devours the living, and the more you struggle, the faster you die.
Looking at the sand at his feet still slowly flowing in one direction, one can imagine how rampant the quicksand was here just now.I am afraid that the original landform has changed its shape.
Yu Wenyong made a gesture to tell the whole army to turn around and bypass this area.
Yu Wenyong, who was dressed as a businessman, wrapped the turban on his face, turned around and was about to turn his head to leave.
Sudden. . . . . .
Something that hastily slipped past in the field of vision caught Yu Wenyong's attention.Emperor Zhou turned his head suspiciously, looking at the messy scene in the quicksand.
Frowning, all he could see was the desolation under the night.
There is a hand, revealing the flowing yellow sand, holding on to a stone in the sand.
"Someone, quickly pull him up!" Yu Wenyong commanded loudly.
"Yes!" The soldiers listened to the order and took out the rope from the horse behind.These are all military supplies for siege, and they are naturally strong. A soldier swung a noose around the man's hand, pulled the noose lightly until it was tight, and tied the other end to the horse.As soon as the horse stepped back, the man was pulled by the rope and began to slide gently.The pit was very deep, and the horse pulled a little too fast, and the man's hands bound by the knot were creaking.
For no reason, Yu Wenyong just felt his heart tighten, and he frowned and shouted: "Slow down!"
"Yes! Take it easy, slow down!"
The soldier readjusted the horse's gait, and finally pulled the man out of the submerged sand so carefully.Although I don't know why the emperor is so nervous, but the people trapped in the quicksand most likely lost their breath long ago, and they are really unnecessary at this moment.
The stars in the sky became denser.
Slow work and careful work, in order to prevent the quicksand from being squeezed and start to fluctuate, it took half an hour to drag the man to a safe place not far away.
The Zhou soldiers only knew that they couldn't drag the thing that didn't know whether it was a corpse or a living person to pieces, so the soldiers who wanted to show off their horse-riding skills in front of the emperor didn't realize that the eyes of their emperor became more and more serious. He became more and more surprised, and his expression changed.
The minister dressed as the leader of the business traveler saw Yu Wenyong's abnormal expression, and looked suspiciously at the rescued person who was gradually approaching, and couldn't help being very curious.
It's a pity that the man was covered in yellow sand and mud. Even though the sand kept shaking off, he was dragged lying on his back on the ground.No face was visible, just a few strands of long black hair poking out from the hood.It must be a young man, the minister thought to himself.
Finally at the moment, someone wanted to lift the man up from the sand, but His Majesty the Emperor Yu Wenyong beat him one step ahead.
The minister panicked for a moment, for fear that the emperor would be caught in some tricks if he was so hasty.
"Let's go quickly, bypass this piece of quicksand and set up camp." Yu Wenyong obviously didn't give the minister a chance to advise, and he didn't think that the man just came out of the sand and was covered in mud, so he hugged him horizontally and started walking. It was heading for the emperor's carriage.The speed was so fast that before the people around could take a closer look at the figure of the rescued person, Yu Wenyong turned around and covered him with his cloak in a blink of an eye.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" The minister chased after him very puzzled.
"Go! This man is dying, why are you squeaking?!" Yu Wenyong glanced at the minister with resentment on his face.
"Yes..." Although the emperor was young, his swift and resolute tactics and the power he now held alone made his subordinates dare not surpass him in the slightest.Since the emperor wants to save people, let's wait until we get past this dangerous place.
The convoy set off again, hurrying on their way, not daring to neglect.
Yu Wenyong hugged the man and sat in the carriage.
He couldn't believe it, and after a while he raised his hand in a daze and took off the cloak he had put on.
This man also looked like a businessman, with a veil covering his face.
Without taking off the veil in a hurry, Yu Wenyong stroked the corners of the man's eyes and brows with trembling hands, feeling like he was dreaming.
After Mang Shan said goodbye, he thought that the goodbye must be on the battlefield, but who would have thought that this person would appear so suddenly in front of his eyes.
Yu Wenyong was ecstatic in his heart, sweeping away the depression and depression of more than half a year.But after touching that person's cold face, his brain began to function normally.
He hurriedly lifted the man's veil, put his fingers on it, and couldn't feel his breath, so he hugged the man in his arms even more frantically, and leaned close to the man's chest to listen to the heartbeat.
Yu Wenyong was very frightened, he missed this man time and time again, does God still plan to send this man to his eyes and bid them farewell forever? !When he was 13 years old, he saw him for the first time on the long bridge in Yecheng, and since then it has been planted in his heart like a lingering poisonous weed.The more you want to pull it out, the more it will spread.He wanted to treat him as an upright and equal opponent, but it turned out that he couldn't fight at all on the battlefield. . . . . .
Thinking of the gradually disappearing body temperature of the person in his arms, Yu Wenyong threw open the curtain of the carriage with all his strength, and shouted out loudly without any scruples: "Come here! Find the doctor!!"
In the wild and chaotic, Zhou Jun had a hard time walking that night.
Out of the quicksand boundary, I can finally have a good rest, and Yu Wenyong's emperor's tent is brightly lit.
Although he didn't know why the emperor was so nervous about the life of the passer-by caught in the quicksand, the accompanying imperial doctor still spent all his money on the young man lying on the emperor's couch at the moment.The most precious life-saving medicine he brought, Huixue Fang Dan, was taken out by Yu Wenyong's hard and soft methods for treatment. The emperor didn't seem to like others to see that person's appearance, so the imperial doctor used a layer of veil to diagnose the pulse The rescuer was in a haze, unlike what he heard before, he felt that the rescued person was a man, and he couldn't see clearly, but the imperial doctor still knew that it was an unbelievably beautiful face, no wonder the emperor was so nervous.
"Your Majesty, it's three o'clock. The old minister is on guard. You can go to sleep for a while." The imperial doctor didn't think about where the emperor should sleep at this moment, so he loyally protected the Lord.
"No need, resting on the carriage all day is enough. How is this person?" Yu Wenyong asked this sentence, although the imperial doctor had already said that he should do his best and obey the destiny.
The imperial doctor saw that the emperor was in a hurry, so he turned around and signaled for his pulse. This person had been buried in the quicksand for a long time, and his breath was as thin as a thread. If the emperor hadn't insisted on saving him, he would really be reluctant to part with the life-saving elixir he brought with him.
Eh? . . . . . .The imperial doctor frowned slightly, and checked the man's wrist again with some disbelief.
Surprised, the elixir he brought out is really so miraculous? !
"how?!"
Seeing that the imperial doctor looked different, Yu Wenyong asked nervously.
"It's really a blessing, it's a lot better in a while! The heart veins are very strong, I think I should be alive!" the imperial doctor reported.
When Yu Wenyong heard this, his brows were filled with joy.
Squeezing away from the position of the imperial physician, he lay down on the bedside, got closer and looked at the man's expression carefully, and it turned out to be much better than before.
"Reward! I reward you very much!" Yu Wenyong rewarded the imperial doctor when he was happy.The imperial doctor was overjoyed when he heard this, and after thanking him again and again, he exited out of the tent sensibly.
"Chang Gong..." Yu Wenyong brushed his fingers over the jade-like face that was no longer cold, his eyes were full of joy and nostalgia.
The pale face had a little blood and was full of vitality.Following the contours of the undulating facial features, Yu Wenyong's slender fingers finally stopped on the two lips, which were soft and began to have a rosy color.
His breath gently blew on his fingertips, like a feather brushing against Yu Wenyong's chest.
I don't know how long I watched like this, the oil lamp in the tent was burned out, and there were meteors streaking across the sky of the vast earth, marking streams of light.
The author has something to say:
poisonous weed. . .Hee hee, I watched mahjong last night, so I quickly followed Tang Shanhai's words!
