Lone Grass Gap

Two months later, in Yong'an County.

Fan Hua stood among the crowd passing by in a hurry, his eyes were full of worry.It was already the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and all Fanhua had seen along the way were people who were festively celebrating the New Year with lanterns and festoons. But here, there was no trace of happiness and reunion, only endless depression and sighs .

With a fixed gaze, Fan Hua looked outside the city, whipped the horse under him, and rushed out.Not long after the city gate was removed, he suddenly heard someone call "Doctor Fan", causing him to stop his horse and look around.

Just when he thought it was an illusion, a soldier still wearing armor ran over, with excitement on his face, and said to him: "Doctor Fan, why are you here?"

Fan Hua rolled his eyes, could it be Yue Qing's soldier?

Thinking of this, he replied: "I heard that there were many casualties in the fierce battle in the frontier, so I want to help."

As soon as the words fell, the soldier's eyes dimmed, and he said: "Originally, there was a time when we almost died, but the general traded himself for our safety. Although our casualties are not serious now, But the general's whereabouts have been unknown, is this more painful than our death on the battlefield?"

"General, do you mean King Yue Qing Yue?" Fan Hua suddenly grabbed the reins, and his voice trembled imperceptibly.

The soldier scratched his head, and said with a bitter face: "Yes, we are all brought out by him. After so long, we still can't change our words. After all, in our hearts, whether it is a general or a prince, he treats us with meaning remains unchanged.”

Yue Qing is missing, Yue Qing is missing...

The rein under his hands was gripped tighter and tighter, until the horse under him let out a low cry because of discomfort, and Fan Hua came back to his senses.

"How did he disappear, and when did it happen?" Fan Hua asked calmly, suppressing his worries.

"At that time, we were fighting against a raiding team sent by Beilang. When we were fighting indiscriminately, another army suddenly appeared behind us. At that time, the general rushed out as a bait in order to cover us. Since then, there has been no news. .”

Speaking of this, he pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "It's already the fourth day..."

The teeth were clenched together tightly, and a trace of anger permeated Fan Hua's eyes.That group of people who suddenly appeared must have been sent by Sheng Yekun. Yue Qing was on the front line desperately fighting for his family and country, and he was a mighty emperor, but he shot a cold arrow behind his back!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Fan Hua called the soldier and said, "Take me to the place where your troops are stationed. General Lu and General Xiong should still be there, right?"

"Yes, Master Xu and Master Zhou are also here, as is King Ming."

Fan Hua, who had been thinking about Yue Qing in his heart, came back to his senses when he heard the last sentence said by the soldier. Even though he frowned, Xie Mingzong was there?

Recalling what Xie Mingzong did to Yue Qing and the relationship between Xie Mingzong and Sheng Yekun in his mind, Fan Hua's eyes were condensed, and he said in a clear voice: "Let's go to the army first."

"Doctor Fan, this... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." The soldier hesitated.

Fan Hua raised his whip and said, "It's okay, just take me to see General Lu and the others, let's go!"

The horse's hooves kicked up the dust all over the place, Fan Hua stared into the distance, involuntarily chanting in his heart:

"Yue Qing, wait for me!"

After an hour, Fanhua finally arrived at the camp, and was thinking about asking the soldiers to deliver a message for him, but unexpectedly, some people screamed when they saw him.

"Is that Doctor Fan?"

"Fuck you, how could Dr. Fan appear here, you lied to me!"

"No, it's really Doctor Fan!"

"Wow, it's really Doctor Fan!"

Those who recognized him should be veterans of Yue Qing's subordinates. After spending several months with them, Fan Hua was no stranger to them.

"His grandma, why are you shouting, don't you need to work?" A rough voice came, which made Fan Hua smile directly.Besides Lu Shen, who else is talking about other people's elders all day long?

"Brother Lu, it's Doctor Fan, Doctor Fan is here!"

Lu Shen directly gave the man a chestnut, which was the same as the other people's reaction, or even worse, after all, he knew where Fan Hua had gone.

"Damn you think you've become a living person, get the hell out of here!"

With a smile on his face, Fan Hua still said: "General Lu, long time no see."

Lu Shen paused visibly, turned around in slow motion, and even rubbed his eyes when he saw Fan Hua, to believe that Fan Hua really appeared in front of him.

"Oh, Doctor Fan, are you really here?"

Zhou Yichen and Xu Xuanqing, who followed the noise, were also full of disbelief. They looked at each other for a long time before they accepted the fact.

Van Hua is here...

When they were surprised, a trace of distress flashed in Fan Hua's heart, and that distress was mixed with strong resentment.Because looking at their appearance, they are obviously exhausted, and the weakness on their faces even shows a little sickness.

He jumped off the horse and walked to them: "I have something to tell you."

For some reason, seeing Fan Hua's arrival immediately woke them up a bit, and the tiredness accumulated over the past few days also faded a little.Zhou Yichen came to his senses first, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's go to the tent."

However, just as they were leaving, a voice that sounded particularly out of place in Fanhua's ears sounded: "I don't know who it is, it turns out to be 'His Royal Highness'..."

As soon as the words fell, the crowd was in an uproar, and those who had known Fan Hua for a long time looked at Fan Hua with strange eyes.Xu Xuanqing frowned, then said with a smile: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Fan Hua used to be just the personal physician of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Majesty's words were missing, and people thought Fan Hua was the real Crown Prince!"

Zhou Yichen also continued: "Yes, my lord, it doesn't matter what Fan Hua is, what matters is your reputation!"

Xie Mingzong sneered and did not continue.

Pulling the hem of La Fanhua's clothes, Zhou Yichen said in a voice a few people could hear: "Go to my place."

Fan Hua nodded, and left with Zhou Yichen and others.When he walked to Xie Mingzong's side, he was quite annoyed by the unintelligible look thrown by the other party, but he still suppressed it, bowed and saluted, and followed.

The people who were getting more and more surrounded also dispersed, only Xie Mingzong stood still shaking his fan, motionless.

Someone was guarding the door, and Lu Shen and others went into the tent.Xu Xuanqing and Zhou Yichen secretly exchanged glances and said, "Doctor Fan, why are you here alone? It's not safe here."

Fan Hua waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter why I came here, the most important thing now is to get your lord back."

Now the few people really showed some surprised expressions, Zhou Yichen pursed his lips, and said, "How do you know?"

"To be honest, I may know more than you, but now is not the time to talk about it, I have to get him back first."

Xu Xuanqing frowned and said, "What do you know?"

"I can only tell you that someone wanted to take Yue Qing's life, and the person who was sent was probably Xie Mingzong who was staying in the camp, so when you are in a stalemate with the Beilang Army, remember to do the same. Take your own defenses."

Hearing that Yue Qing was remembered by those who cared about him, Lu Shen and the others all turned ugly.After a while Xu Xuanqing said: "We received the imperial decree a month ago, saying that we would join hands with King Ming to fight against the enemy. A person, according to what you said, it seems that they have long wanted to attack the prince..."

"That's why I came here. Did Yue Qing leave any marks when he lured the enemy?"

Zhou Yichen nodded, and said: "Yes, there are special markings between the few of us. After the prince disappeared, we sent people out to look for it. However, the border area is full of sand and there are often strong winds. The markings are very It's hard to find, so the process is very slow. And after listening to your words, I'm afraid Xie Mingzong has already harbored evil intentions, because there are also his people among the people sent out, and I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to get what we want."

"Bring back the team and let me find it," Fan Hua said.

"No!" Zhou Yichen refused without thinking, "It's too risky, if... if you don't even come back, we will cry to death."

Fan Hua smiled, "How can I die so easily, I have my reasons, I believe I will keep myself based on this, by the way, tell me about the scene at that time, the soldier who brought me here It’s a bit messy, and I can’t find any information.”

Zhou Yichen glanced at the other three, Xu Xuanqing nodded, then lowered his head.Zhou Yichen took a deep breath and looked at Fan Hua: "The scene at that time was very chaotic, and I may not have noticed some details at the time, but when we were in a stalemate with Bei Lang, a large group of people suddenly appeared behind us. People and horses, we were attacked from the front and back, and we fought very embarrassingly. Later, the prince realized that the team behind seemed to be coming towards him, so he resolutely led them away with his horse, and we drove Bei Lang back."

"At that time, we were all very anxious, and even lost our sense of proportion. For those people who suddenly surged up, we thought they were bandits nearby, because their costumes were similar to those worn by bandits we had met before, but Now calm down and think about it, those people are well-trained and extremely purposeful, and they really don't look like those bandits who have no rules."

Fan Hua listened to Zhou Yichen's words quietly, and said: "It's already the fourth day, Yue Qing's situation is very dangerous, I have to find him immediately, he is going in that direction, are you familiar with the nearby terrain? "

Lu Shen nodded and said: "My lord was walking due east at that time, there are hills and basins criss-crossing over there, there are many rocks, and there are occasional water sources and forests. There will be supplies immediately at that time. Generally, it is no problem to support a person for a week. But if you have a body like the prince's, I'm afraid it will be difficult for five days."

Fan Hua pondered for a while, and said to Zhou Yichen: "You can prepare a fast horse for me later. Also, pack as much food as the horse can bear, and the water source too."

"Fan Hua, are you really going?" Zhou Yichen said worriedly, "If the prince returns, but you disappear, how should we explain to the prince?"

"Believe me, I won't get lost, go get ready, remember, if I find Yue Qing, we will try our best to get closer to the camp, and then send out signal flares, then we will arrange for the people under you, twelve days a day Someone must be awake for an hour. In addition, be careful when preparing things, don't let Xie Mingzong find out, and then you will have to play Tai Chi with him."

"But..." Zhou Yichen wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Xu Xuanqing.

"Let him go, you have to trust him." Xu Xuanqing whispered, "This is also an opportunity, isn't it?"

Zhou Yichen hesitated, but finally heeded Fan Hua's words.

However, after Fanhua left, Zhou Yichen suddenly remembered an important matter, and said to Xu Xuanqing and the others with regret and worry on his face:

"There is another person in his stomach!"

Hearing Zhou Yichen's words, Xu Xuanqing and the others came to their senses, and Lu Shen said irritably, "Then why doesn't he have a big belly at all?"

Xu Xuanqing nodded in agreement: "It's been a long time, we all forgot about Fan Hua's body..."

Zhou Yichen frowned and said, "No, we can't let Fanhua go alone. We're going to look for him now. The sooner we find him, the better!"

Xiong Yi continued: "What about Xie Mingzong? With him around, we can't mobilize troops without authorization."

As soon as the words were finished, the four of them were all frowning. Just as Xu Xuanqing was about to speak, there was a notification sound outside. The four people in the room looked at each other for a long time before Lu Shen called "Come in".

The soldier who came to report only said one sentence, but it was precisely this sentence that immediately made the four people present worried.

"The enemy bandits appeared in the northeast just now, and His Royal Highness King Ming has led his troops to retreat from the enemy."

Zhou Yichen's fist clenched suddenly, Xu Xuanqing held his hand secretly, and said in a deep voice: "We know, let's go down."

"Yes."

After the man left, Xiong Yi immediately said: "It's not too late, I think it's time for us to act."

"Xie Mingzong came here this time with evil intentions. If he goes out at this time, it may be that he has learned of the whereabouts of the prince. We should really leave." Xu Xuanqing said in a deep voice.

Lu Shen said roughly: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go now!"
