The Wife is First - 64 Chapter 64 Southeast
The black arrow reflected a frightening cold light in the sun. At the critical moment, Jing Shao tilted his head suddenly, and the upper arrow grazed his cheek, leaving a burning pain. The lower two arrows streaked with silver on the right side. The armor made a jingling sound, and the nail on the left side was stuck on the left arm!
“Hmm…” Jing Shao groaned, raised his hand and pulled out the arrow on his arm, pulled out the bow on his horse, put on the string and shot back along the original path.
There are three arrows in the character, the left side dodges and shoots the heart, the right side avoids breaking the lungs, and the backward side pierces the throat! General Shenjian didn’t expect that Jing Shao would not dodge, and even had the energy to fight back. He quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow to counter it. The two arrow tips collided. The latter was stronger, broke the arrow, and penetrated the wood three points. , the two arrows both landed.
Everyone had never seen such accurate archery, and they were a little stunned for a moment. When they came to their senses, the sharpshooter had already turned his horse and ran back, and the southeastern army who came to ambush also retreated quickly.
Zhao Meng and his cavalry were about to pursue him. Jing Shao put down his bow and said, “There is no need to pursue him.”
There are less than a hundred soldiers of the Southeast Army left. Pursuing them on this narrow mountain road would not be dangerous, and the gains outweigh the losses.
“Your Majesty, you are injured.” Hao Dadao put away his knife and gathered the team. When he saw Jing Shao covering his left arm, he came over and asked.
Jing Shao felt the pain now and couldn’t help but take a breath.
“Your Majesty, please stop riding horses and ask the military advisor to give you some medicine.” Zuo Hujun said expressionlessly.
When Jing Shao heard this, he immediately jumped off his horse, signaled the army to continue marching, and got into the carriage himself.
Mu Hanzhang looked at the person in front of him quietly, took off his armor without saying a word, tore open the blood-stained sleeves, dipped a cloth in tea and wiped the blood around the wound. The wound was small and deep, and it was still bleeding. Fortunately, it did not hit the bone, but only stabbed the muscle. He took the powder to stop the bleeding and sprinkled it on without hesitation.
“Ah, it hurts!” Jing Shao yelled with his teeth bared.
Mu Hanzhang ignored him. After the bleeding stopped, he took out the sapphire vial and applied a layer of it. Fang took the cloth tape and wrapped it carefully in a circle, then tied it with a neat knot, and then let go of his arm. .
Jing Shao breathed a sigh of relief. In the last life, when Hongzheng was attacking the southeast in the 18th year, he was hit by the three arrows of General Shenjian. At that time, he subconsciously avoided it, but it hit him in the chest, almost killing him. Now he finally Remembering this lesson, I resisted not moving but only suffered minor injuries. I finally got through this disaster, and my uneasy heart finally relaxed.
He looked up and saw that his princess still didn’t express anything, and couldn’t help but feel a little aggrieved. He was even hurt, and Jun Qing didn’t say anything to comfort him. I was about to move over to eat tofu, but unexpectedly, the next moment, I was pulled into a warm embrace.
Mu Hanzhang hugged the person in his arms tightly, and the breath that rose to his throat finally calmed down. The warm, solid touch reminded him that this person was still alive and well in his arms. The scene just now was too thrilling. Seeing Jing Shao being forced to evade by three arrows, he felt that the world suddenly became gray, and he even forgot to breathe.
The faint fragrance rushed into his nose, and the warm and gentle touch was so beautiful. Jing Shao was stunned for a moment and then realized that he was being held in Jun Qing’s arms! The curvature of the corners of her mouth gradually widened, and she stretched out her arms to hug her princess’s waist, relaxing her body into his arms. After living two lives, no one would hold him and comfort him when he was injured, and he couldn’t help but feel filled with emotion. If he married a woman, she would probably be crying right now. How could she hold him and rely on him like this?
The carriage continued to move forward slowly, and neither of the two people in the carriage spoke. Only the sound of the wooden wheels pressing on the stones could be heard continuously.
“Jun Qing…” Jing Shao rubbed his chest happily.
Mu Hanzhang touched his head in his arms and sighed softly. Then he came back to his senses, looked down at the person in his arms and said warmly: “You are tired, I will hold you to sleep for a while. Jing Shao just had a fierce battle with someone, Definitely nervous and tired.
Jing Shao was naturally willing, but he was afraid that he would be tired if Jun Qing hugged her too hard for a long time, so he reached out and pulled a pillow and put it on his princess’s lap, hugging her narrow waist comfortably, and smelled The light fragrance makes you close your eyes with peace of mind.
Although Liangyi Mountain is big, it is not very long across it. When we reach level ground, there is no danger to defend, and we will probably not encounter any more danger until we reach the southeastern border. Therefore, in the next few days, the injured prince stayed in the military advisor’s carriage with peace of mind and did not go out.
Xiao Huang was very dissatisfied with Jing Shao taking up the position. With his current size, sleeping in the carriage with two people would be too crowded, so he was often thrown onto the footrest by Jing Shao to sleep.
And Jing Shao also likes the tiger’s feet very much. He often takes off his socks and rubs the soles of his feet on the yellow fur. Xiao Huang usually ignores it at first, but after rubbing for a long time, he will turn around to hug and take a bite. Mu Hanzhang would stop this behavior at first, but later he found it interesting and followed Jing Shao’s example, and even teased him with dried meat to turn his belly out and rub his soles!
Not long after we arrived at the southeastern border, we found a region of hills with several rocky hills in the middle. The undulating hills were stacked on top of each other. Looking from a distance, it seemed like an endless repeating scene. Therefore, this area was dubbed by the locals. People call it Chongling.
The southeast is not as desolate as the southwest, with a large population and abundant supplies. Although the king of the southeast is violent and lustful, he is unambiguous in fighting, and there are endless capable generals under his command. The hilly land is layered one after another. It can be said that there is no danger to defend, or it can also be said that there are natural dangers everywhere and it can be defended everywhere!
Jing Shao led the army to fight for nearly a month, and only moved less than a hundred miles. The war fell into a stalemate.
Looking at the map in front of him, the undulating hills occupied nearly half of the southeastern territory. Jing Shao sighed. Winter was about to begin. Even if he captured the main city immediately, he might not be able to return to Beijing in time for the New Year.
“War is not a child’s play, how can it be so easy?” Mu Hanzhang pushed a cup of tea in front of him.
“Yeah…” Jing Shao sighed, playing in the southwest was too smooth, which made him a little aggressive.
“You’re anxious to return to Beijing, but what’s important?” Mu Hanzhang sat next to him and looked around. He didn’t know where the little tiger had gone.
“It’s no big deal,” Jing Shao chuckled, “It’s the same thing if you let others do it.” Anyway, he had already told Ren Feng before leaving Beijing. If he couldn’t make it back by then, someone would do it.
Mu Hanzhang raised his eyebrows. Judging from his appearance, he must not be doing anything serious. He shook his head helplessly, got up and went out to find the tiger cub.
By the river outside the camp, Xiao Huang was standing on a stone and staring intently at the fish in the river. The water was gurgling and the big silver fish were swaying in the water. They looked very delicious!
“Plop!” When Mu Hanzhang came over, he saw a big ball of black and yellow hair jumping into the river. The big fish didn’t catch it, but got his hair all wet.
The little tiger climbed up to the shore and shook off the water droplets on his body. The hair on his face collapsed due to the water, which was quite funny. He raised his eyes and saw his master, and immediately rushed towards him happily.
Mu Hanzhang quickly dodged aside and glanced at the big paws stained with muddy water in disgust. He had only given him a bath yesterday, and it was all in vain.
“Wow!” After not catching any fish to eat, the little tiger cub lay on its back at its owner’s feet and turned its belly for dried meat.
“Woo…” A horn sound came from not far away. It was the critical moment of the battle between the two armies.
“Jun Qing!” Jing Shao, who came out to meet his princess for lunch, came over. Seeing that he was attracted by the sound of the horn, he pulled him up to a small mound in front of him. From a distance, I saw two groups of people rushing together in a dark mass, with smoke and dust billowing, and the sound of killing was loud.
“If we continue fighting like this, I’m afraid it will consume a lot of troops,” Mu Hanzhang frowned and looked at the battlefield in the distance, “Is there any news about Ruoyi recently?”
Jing Shao hugged him from behind: “No, her situation will definitely not be easy. I will not let her send news to the outside world from the beginning.” Ge Ruoyi is the hidden weapon he buried next to the Southeast King. Naturally, it cannot be exposed to others. When doing something as trivial as delivering news, if any flaws are revealed, it will be a waste of time and money.
“Huh?” The person in his arms suddenly exclaimed. Jing Shao raised his head and followed his line of sight, and saw that the Southeast Army, which had a vague advantage, suddenly retreated and turned around. Looking at the sky, it was just noon. To withdraw troops at this time must be something wrong within the Southeast Army.
“Let’s go back quickly.” Mu Hanzhang turned around and said.
Jing Shao nodded and took his military advisor back to the central tent. Not long after, the soldier who reported the news came running back.
“Report——” The soldier rushed into the middle tent and knelt down and said, “Commander, the Southeast Army suddenly retreated. General Hao asked for instructions whether to pursue.”
Jing Shao pondered for a moment. Although he said that he should not pursue the enemy, the scene he saw on the mound did not look like a trick to lure the enemy: “Chase!” A simple word, loud and clear, the letter soldiers immediately accepted the order, mounted their fast horses and flew away Run away.
Hao Dadao took the order to pursue, and found that the southeastern army was suddenly in chaos. He rushed up and killed them regardless of the situation. When night fell, he returned to camp with a blood-stained armor. He didn’t rush to clean up, and went into the middle tent to report back.
“General, looking at the situation of the Southeast Army, it seems that something big has happened.” Hao Dadao touched the blood and dust on his face, “General, General, I think that no matter what happened, while the morale of the army is in chaos, it is precisely It’s a good time to destroy the Southeast Army.”
Jing Shao listened quietly to Hao Dadao’s report, his heartbeat quickened and he was very excited. This situation was very similar to when the news of the death of the Southeast King came in the previous life.
Mu Hanzhang frowned slightly, held Jing Shao’s hand, and told him not to be impulsive, and said to Hao Dadao: “Thank you for your hard work, general. Let’s go and rest first, and we will make a decision tomorrow.”
The pursuit at night was futile, so Hao Dadao suppressed the excitement in his heart, clasped his fists in salute, turned and left.
