Those years when I climbed the wall

Noise around ears, blurred vision.One staggered to the ground, but did not dare to let go.

It was suddenly dark, as if someone was squatting opposite.

Opening his mouth, a hot smell came out violently, and his lungs were in severe pain as he exhaled.

"Red ginseng—red ginseng!" The words that were spat out with all the strength were as soft as a whisper.

The eyes are completely silent, the body seems to be floating, and the remaining mind is gradually withdrawn, but the lips are still moving, but unfortunately no one can understand the word - red ginseng!

Red ginseng!

I don't know how long it has passed, and I opened my eyes blankly.

The eyes are so blue that they are actually curtains.

After thinking about it for a while, the forehead suddenly hurt, but fortunately, the tight pain in the chest has disappeared, and the breathing is smooth.

Turning his head to the side, a sense of dizziness hit him, and he vaguely saw a person approaching.

"Are you awake?" Guo Kai's voice.

Close your eyes and open them again, the scene in front of you becomes clearer.

"I..." Raising his hand to press his forehead, Shao Jingheng felt uneasy, the sentence was stuck in his throat, and he didn't dare to ask it for a moment.

"You ran with wounds that night, and the fatigue and cold infiltrated hurt your lungs." Standing in front of the couch, Guo Kai patiently explained his doubts to him: "Fortunately, I met Huo Lanmin, the king of Youguo Town, on the way. Shi was seriously injured and was rescued by him. When we came later, we learned that you had been injured by Liao, the military commander he placed in Rongyin Town, so we came to make peace."

Hearing his calm voice, the people on the couch felt a little relieved, and then blurted out: "Where is the official? How is he now?"

After pondering for a while, Guo Kai confirmed the facts: "I came here after receiving the news, and I didn't see Huo Langmin in person. I only heard that Huo Langmin sent you and the officials to the camp for treatment at that time, but for some reason, later You are the only one here, and you have not seen the official family."

"I don't see the official's house?!" He raised his head suddenly, and his chest hurt. Shao Jingheng tried his best to support him: "Why did Huo Lanmin separate me from the official's house for treatment?" He coughed twice, "Where are our guards? But I don't know The official whereabouts??"

Guo Kai frowned: "The guards said that they were not allowed to enter Huo Langmin's barracks to accompany them, so they don't know where the official is now." The generals of the court, if we were us, we would definitely do the same."

In the end, it was hard to hold back, Shao Jingheng fell back on the pillow, still eager to speak: "So, Huo Lanmin knows our identity?"

Seeing that he was out of breath, Guo Kai poured some water for him to drink, and then answered: "I only know half of it. Huo Lanmin is Huo Lanxian's uncle and his confidant, so he would not obstruct us, and he said that he was afraid that he would back down." Hand, Zeng Wuhua has already revealed the promise of Changchun Township, but just in case, we have obscured our identities, I just said that I am an envoy of Emperor Daxi, and I am asking for his help." Turning around and putting the teacup back, "Or like this, Huo Lanmin doesn't take us seriously. I went to ask for an interview today, but he didn't care at all."

Shao Jingheng frowned: "That day, did Zeng Wuhua tell Huo Lanmin that the official family's injury urgently needs red ginseng treatment?"

Guo Kai nodded: "You repeatedly reminded me before you fell that day, and later Zeng Wuhua recounted the situation to Huo Lanmin. It is said that Huo Lanmin had asked people to intervene on the spot."

"This way..." Although the worry is hard to get rid of, but at the moment, I have to believe it.Shao Jingheng closed his eyes and thought for a while, "The official's whereabouts are unknown, and Huo Lanmin ignores us, so the only solution now is to send someone to Yunjing to invite Huo Lanxian."

"The envoy has gone." Guo Kai turned back to the bed, "but it is more than a hundred miles away from Yunjing, and it will take two days to come and go." After a short pause, "you have been in a coma all day and night because of your injuries. Besides, it's getting late today, so let's take a rest first. Zeng Wuhua and Lu Chongning led people to go out to inquire, and there may be news at any time." After pondering, "It's really impossible. Tomorrow I will go to see Huo Lanmin with my real identity. There may be a turning point. In any case, we must follow the rules and step by step at the moment, and we must not act recklessly and mess ourselves up because of haste."

Knowing that his words were to "remind" himself, Shao Jingheng remained silent for a while, rubbed his throbbing forehead, and turned the subject: "Huo Lanmin is the hero who helped Huo Lanxian ascend the throne, and is now helping him to put down chaos everywhere. The merits are so high that if Huo Lan is present, it is inevitable that he will give this high-ranking uncle three points!"

Understanding his worries, Guo Kai calmly said, "I've thought of this too, but don't forget that we still have a very important chess piece in our hands - Huo Lankun!" His brows trembled slightly: "I'm going to see Huo Lanmin Huo Lankun has been hidden before, so if there is an emergency here, we are not completely under the control of others!"

Nodding his head, Shao Jingheng was finally relieved.

All night.

On the second day, Shao Jingheng's injury recurred slightly, and he recovered a little in the afternoon. Go to rest for a while, make some preparations, and go out alone.Just arrived at the atrium, suddenly heard coughing behind him, looked back and saw a pale man walking down the steps.

Going back a few steps to help those who came with him, Guo Kai frowned: "You have just taken the medicine, so you don't have to force yourself. I'll go alone this time."

Shaking his head, Shao Jingheng persisted: "I can't feel at ease here, so I simply go with you, so as not to think too much."

Think about it too.Guo Kai didn't persuade him much, but he didn't ride the horse as he wanted, but ordered someone to prepare the cart.

Have a safe journey.Seeing that he was about to arrive at the barracks, Guo Kai coughed lightly, successfully attracting the attention of the person sitting opposite him, "You didn't bring a weapon, right? If you have to search inside after a while, don't bother me." He was serious for a while.

Looking at his empty hands, Shao Jingheng sneered: "Do you think I'm used to using hidden weapons?" The voice was disdainful: "You think you are smart, but you think everyone else is stupid? So yesterday you used the topic to remind me to behave?"

Guo Kai pursed his lips: "I'm just afraid that you have been injured repeatedly in the past two days, and your mind is confused, and it's hard to control yourself."

Lifting the curtain and looking outside, Shao Jingheng calmly said, "Don't worry, although I can't wait to put the knife on Huo Langmin's neck for questioning, but I also know that this moment is different from the past, and Huo Lanmin's military camp is not an ice cave in a fixed mountain. The way to do this is to give courtesy first and then soldiers! When I enter his camp, I will be cautious in my words and deeds."

Guo Kai raised his eyebrows: "You said this! Keep it in mind for a while."

The other scoffed again: "You can just take care of yourself!" After pondering for a while, he looked back and said honestly: "Now, let me come forward and ask to see Huo Lanmin."

"You've made up your mind, why ask me?" The words were like this, but the irony in Guo Kai's voice was pretentious: I also knew that with his mere title of Marquis of the Forbidden Army, Huo Lanmin might not let go. In his eyes, in comparison, Shao Jingheng is not only a few ranks high, but also has a great reputation in this northern region, so the Hu people are not willing to give up to him.

The matter is settled, and the carriage has stopped.

The two got out of the car and went to the front of the camp. They reported their names and were told to wait there.After a long time, a person who claimed to join the army came, saying that the commander was out of the camp to inspect, and the two of them had something to say to him.

It seems that this is the greatest affection that Huo Langmin can bestow on the two of them.With no intention and no space to care about it, Shao Jingheng had no choice but to accept it.Right now, he cut straight to the point and asked Mu Yunqi's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, the soldier who joined the army would have a look of astonishment when he heard the words: "Master, you mean the young man you brought that day?" After receiving an affirmative answer, he was even more surprised: "He...hasn't he already gone to Rongyin Town to meet with you and others?" Is it?"

"What?" Looking at each other, Shao Jingheng and Guo Kai changed their colors at the same time.

Guo Kai couldn't believe it: "You said that the person has left here?"

Seeing him nodding, Shao Jingheng asked, "When did he leave and who is with him?"

Joining the army said: "His injury is not serious. After two days of medicine, he has healed. If he wants to leave early in the morning, we will not stop him, and he will leave alone."

"Early in the morning..." Shao Jingheng clenched his fists: "However, Rongyin Town is only ten miles away from here, and he rode a horse to go there. How could it take more than half a day to arrive?"

Difficult to join the army: "This... I don't know." His face gradually became congealed: "Isn't it something unexpected happened halfway?" The words are serious, and I hurried to make amends: "In this case, I will immediately send people to search along the way, and please return to the military division to wait for news."

Frowning brows, Shao Jingheng didn't say a word.

Guo Xie forced himself to be calm: "Then go find it quickly! You must know that we should abide by the agreement with Youzhu. Today, we rushed to the Changchun town meeting and the mission to return to the south. Who knew that there was such an accident at the moment, which delayed the trip. Your lord will pursue it, no one will be able to bear it!"

"This..." Can Jun was stunned, but blurted out: "Well, if Mr. Xiang is fine, you might as well set off to Changchun Town first, and once we find someone, we will send it to you immediately!"

"What did you say?" The man who was silent for a while opened his mouth, and his hostility was revealed, "You didn't ask about your identity, and you didn't tell me about it, so you let a seriously injured person take the risk alone, and you still made no excuses right now. What is my intention to leave?" Xian Ji completely forgot the promise he made in the car in the future.

He exhausted all his efforts to pull the man who lost his mind out of the barracks. Guo Kai listened to him and whispered to him. He saw the man's face move slightly, and then calmed down for a while, so he took the opportunity to push him into the carriage and ordered him to drive. Leave.Back at the Army Division, Guo Kai called out Lu Chongning and Zeng Wuhua, and the four of them drove all the way out of the town, stopping only in the wilderness where there were no traces of people.

"You just said that this matter is fraudulent, what do you mean?" the man with his head down and his forehead asked in a muffled voice.

Looking over at Zeng and Lu, Guo Kai said calmly, "You will tell me what you told me in the military department just now, please say it again."

Lu Chongning obeyed: "We found that there are soldiers buying high-quality red ginseng from various medicine shops. I heard that it is needed by the army."

Touched by the sound, Shao Jingheng raised his head.

"When did that happen?" Guo Kaiji asked.

"This afternoon!" Zeng Wuhua said decisively.

"Afternoon?" Shao Jingheng was startled: "However, joining the army said..." Halfway through speaking, he fell into reverie again.

"That's why I said that this matter is strange." Guo Kai narrowed his eyes: "The government uses high-grade red ginseng to treat injuries, and Huo Lanmin's subordinates buy this medicine in the town, and they also specify that it must be high-grade. Is it just a coincidence?" Eyes turned lightly: "Let's say that the Taoist official who joined the army left the barracks early on, if so, why did he still go around looking for medicine after the story?" After a pause, "I asked Taoist Zhengjue, the official's injury It’s not light, it can’t be recovered in a day or two, and it’s impossible to go out on horseback right now!”

Shao Jingheng became anxious again: "If he hasn't left the barracks, then what is the purpose of joining the army to fabricate stories to deceive us?"

There was a moment of silence.

"It's not like..." Lu Chongning hesitated, "Huo Lanmin has already found out the identity of the official, so he has some schemes?"

"Huo Lanmin is just a prince, if he doesn't have a will, how dare he do it arbitrarily?" Zeng Wuhua said something.

"But if there is a will, he doesn't need to be sneaky, but it is enough to take all of us down, so why bother to cover it up?" Guo Kai shook his head, "Looking at how eager he is to send us on the road, this move seems to make things easier for others! "

"Then what do you mean...?" Shao Jingheng's eyes were deep.

Guo Kai frowned: "It's hard to say for sure, but no matter what, it's not a good thing. In the worst case, I'm afraid Huo Lanmin hides his own scheming and runs against Huo Lanxian."

"If that's the case, what should we do?" Shao Jingheng's expression turned cold.

"There are two ways!" Guo Xixian had thought about it: "First, wait where you are. The envoy has already left. If Huo Lanxian is willing to come, he can arrive within two days. At that time, I used Huo Lankun as a bargaining chip to force Huo Lankun to come. Lan Xian punished Huo Lanmin and rescued the official family; second, we will continue to investigate, find out the whereabouts of the official family, and then try to rescue them."

After a moment of deliberation, Shao Jingheng made up his mind: "Whether Huo Lanxian will come or not is still unknown, even if he does come, but in this situation, Huo Lanmin has a hundred thousand troops in his hands, and Huo Lanxian may have the intention to help us." Powerless! The so-called asking for others is better than asking for ourselves. This matter, it seems that we have to make our own plans. To deal with a powerful enemy, the only way is to be wise! And no matter what the plan is, the immediate priority is to find out the whereabouts of the officials."

Guo Kai agreed, but only had one worry: "If the official family is still hidden in the military camp by him, it will be very difficult for us to go inside and find it. I am afraid that this matter will have to be discussed in the long run."

"Maybe not necessarily." Zeng Wuhua pondered for a while, and said what he was thinking: "Today, I found out from the people in the town that Huo Lanmin still has a mansion here. Staying in the army, we just need to wait patiently, take him down when he returns home unprepared, and order him to obey our orders!"

"So..." Guo Kai's eyes lit up: "If the news is correct, this is actually the best policy!"

Since everyone had no objection to this, Shao Jingheng ordered: "Wuhua, Chongning, when you two return to the town, immediately go to find out where the mansion is, without delay!"

The sun was sinking to the west, and the four of them drove back, without talking all the way.When he arrived at the Military Division, he saw the guards rushing towards him. He said that Huo Lanmin had sent an envoy, saying that he had an urgent message.

When I entered, I saw the envoy, but it was the former supervisor.Seeing his solemn expression, Shao Jingheng's heart tightened.

After the ceremony, the Youren hesitated to say anything, and while pondering, he took a bunch of dilapidated things from the hands of his attendants and presented them.

Feeling familiar at first glance, Shao Jingheng hurriedly took it, and after taking a closer look, his complexion turned pale: "This is..."

The overseer said bitterly: "It's exactly... the fur robe that Xiao Lang wore when he left!"

Taking a breath, Shao Jingheng managed to stand still, and stared at him: "How can it be so dilapidated? And..." He clenched his hands tightly: "Blood!"

"This..." The person who was asked shook his head and sighed: "This thing was found in the wilderness by the soldiers who were sent to search for people. It's just a piece of clothing, it's already torn apart, it seems..." Looking away, the voice is also quiet : "Been bitten by wild wolves..."

"Wild wolf!"

Shao Jingheng seemed to feel that his mind was the same as his eyes, a blankness appeared at first, and then he didn't know what to say.
