Chapter 25
The old man hastily begged for mercy with both hands, his gray beard trembling, "I dare not! General, look at this Black Rock Mountain." He clasped his hands and pointed to the back, not daring to point with one finger. "It was the Gushe tribe who lived here thousands of years ago who performed the miracle. That person has the blood of the Gushe tribe, so he can conceive as a man. This is a miracle that has never been seen for thousands of years. thing!"
Hearing that the doctor was getting more and more biased, Xuezhao was disappointed, he didn't want to ask such strange people and strange things.
He waved his hand perfunctorily, seeing that the doctor was old, he was let go.
Unexpectedly, the doctor became more and more excited as he spoke. As soon as the soldiers stopped, he turned around, prostrated himself on the ground, and bowed to Heishi Mountain, muttering in a low voice: "The blood of the innate gods is still there!" It is a gift from the gods.”
As early as when the Shi family had not yet become king, and only served as the leader to protect the people of one side, they suffered from an earthquake. It was the Gushe tribe who lived in seclusion in the mountains who came forward and took out the fairy grass to cure the people and the ancestors of the Shi family. The master's family's immortal method, from which the master's family gradually produced immortal bones, and finally unified the world.Even the legend that the teacher's family is a descendant of the gods, etc., is also derived from this.
So speaking of it, the Gushe clan is half gods and half benefactors to the teacher's family or the common people.
For a long time, these stories have long been regarded as legends. Most of the Yunguang soldiers were born in the Central Plains. Although they are in awe of the Gushe people, they are relatively indifferent. A small number of towns near Heishi Mountain are different. When they see a doctor salute, they also kneel in the direction of Heishi Mountain. Down.
The rest of the people were aroused in awe, and they also clasped their hands together and saluted.
Ji Lin whispered to Master Guo, "A man is pregnant? The mountain doctor is not skilled. Could it be that he has the wrong pulse? You are still a Gushe clan. The Gushe clan has not existed for hundreds of years. How dare you talk nonsense."
Xuezhao also followed the crowd and saluted Heishi Mountain, and what Ji Lin said was right in his ears, but he didn't express it. In fact, he also had these doubts in his heart.
Ji Lin raised his voice and asked the doctor: "If the Gushe clan still has descendants, how come no one has seen them before?"
The old doctor raised his old eyelids, "Didn't you see this, my lord?"
Ji Lin smiled: "Then this man... is pregnant, how did he march and fight... and who made him pregnant?" He was a little ashamed to say it.
Low laughter came from the surrounding soldiers.
The doctor shook his head, "Gushe people are physically stronger than ordinary people. They usually only intermarry with their own race, and the fetuses they conceive are also strong. Maybe they are self-sufficient? The villain is just listening to the legends of his ancestors."
The people around didn't approve, so Xuezhao also shook his head.
The doctor added: "However, it is said that when the Gushe tribe seeks a mate, they not only need to build a hole in their home to protect the bearer from the wind and rain, but also try their best to fill their stomachs and take care of them very carefully, otherwise They are also ashamed to crawl on people's stomachs... After conception, they are protected in every possible way, and they cannot see any beasts, insects, snakes, swords, spears, swords and halberds approaching the body of the person who is pregnant... The nature of men is like this, and there must be someone around the evil spirit army. Only when the other side is protected can they be safe and sound in battle.”
"That's better than most ruthless men in the world." Everyone laughed maliciously, only Xuezhao gradually stopped laughing.
He paused for a while, and said in a tired voice, "Let him go." The doctor presumably was either unprofessional or rambunctious, it didn't really matter.He ordered the army to rectify in place, report the news of the great victory to the capital, and the rest is to wait for the reply from the capital.
Finally able to rest, he felt very tired.
Heishishan was full of joy, and the doctor hadn't finished talking, so he was released and driven away. He packed the medicine box, and suddenly remembered that when the pregnant woman was diagnosed with pregnancy, he scolded "Fart!", obviously very shocked He doesn't believe it, and it seems that the grade is not low.The doctor opened his mouth, wanting to add a few words to others, but everyone around him was in high spirits and busy celebrating, so no one would listen to him.
At the same time, at the crossing of the Zhengdu River, hundreds of soldiers of the Yunguang Army were ordered to search for people along the river.An hour later, tens of miles downstream of the Zhengdu River, on the bank of the river, a wet, black-haired head struggled out. The next moment, he was pushed away by a force, and he staggered on the shallows. One person also popped up, it was Zhong Tianqing who was pushing him from behind, five or six people followed behind them, holding hands, their clothes tangled up, Yuan Bao and others who followed them into the water were not washed away, and they all got ashore alive .
At this moment, the north bank has been searched upside down, and the south bank is still very quiet, and the order of the Yunguang Army has not yet come.
Zhong Tianqing wiped the water from his head, pulled Shi Zizhang over, and untied the knots between the two of them with his ten fingers flying like flying. He quickly said to Yuan Bao and the others: "Hurry up, don't go with me and Shi Zizhang, Don't go looking for the army guarding the southern border anymore, hide your name, hide as much as you can, don't stand out."
Yuan Bao was in a hurry, "Why did Qingtou chase us away? We finally survived together, of course I want to be with you!"
Others also said: "Yes, life and death must be together."
Zhong Tianqing shook his head: "In half a day at most, the news of Yunguang Army's victory will come. They will definitely search for people if they haven't seen our dead bodies. We alone are too eye-catching, and His Highness Zizhang and I are easy Identify, aren't we living targets?"
Yuan Bao said: "But the two of you lost us, and you didn't even have a helper when you met the Yunguang Army. Who will protect you?"
Zhong Tianqing clicked his tongue, "Why do I need your protection?"
Yuan Bao said: "That's not okay! If you drag you down, you deserve it! Anyway, since you are a subordinate, you have to live and die together, and no one can think of being separated..."
A cry of "Father! Mother!" came from a distance, and the first person was startled, and they all fell to the ground immediately.
In front of them is a gentle slope. On the gentle slope are common dwarf reeds in river valleys. They are not green, yellow or yellow. They are scattered. Beyond the reeds, there is an empty muddy land. There are more than a dozen households in the muddy land. The thatched huts barely made up a small village. On a single path outside the small village, a girl was running towards home with a piece of paper in her hand: "Father! The Yunguang Army has won! There are notices everywhere in the city!"
A family in the village opened the door, and two old men leaned out from the room. The old man said, "Really? That's great, thank God! No matter who wins, it's better not to fight!"
He asked again, "How about the evil spirit army now?"
The girl said: "Zhong Tianqing and Shi Zizhang jumped into the river, and the rest were all wiped out, only the housekeepers in the southern border were left, and they all surrendered just now."
People from other huts came out to inquire one after another. The girl raised the paper in her hand and said, "There is a notice posted in the city. At the most quarter of an hour, the search team will come to our place to search for the whereabouts of Zhong Tianqing and Shi Zizhang. , There are huge rewards for whistleblowers.”
When Zhong Tianqing heard this, he cursed at Yuan Bao: "Why don't you hurry up?"
Yuan Bao stared at him, his eyes were red, but he didn't move.
Zhong Tianqing wanted to stomp his feet anxiously, pulled up Shi Zizhang who was listening quietly, and said in a low voice, "Don't follow us."
The two of them lowered their bodies and ran far downstream. Yuan Bao and other five or six people were left on the river beach, like dried fish laid out by someone. Someone let out a low sob.
As the wind moved and the grass moved, Zhong Tianqing took his teacher Zizhang directly through the reeds, across the river beach, and fled to the deep mountains behind the village.
They also proceeded carefully in the deep mountains, checking back and forth, not daring to be rash, Zhong Tianqing went ahead to explore the way to protect him, saying: "Your Highness, be careful."
Shi Zizhang, who had not spoken all the time, said indifferently: "You planned to hide in the deep mountains, and you just sent them away? Everyone knows us, and it will be difficult for us to get some food and drink in the future."
Zhong Tianqing snorted lightly: "Those few people are not enough to cause trouble, it's better to leave."
Master Zizhang was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "You are benevolent."
He didn't get angry, and he didn't mean to ridicule. The ambitions and careers he had built over the years were all collapsed, and he was only disheartened.
In this regard, Zhong Tianqing was much better than him. He chose a big tree, and he pushed Shi Zizhang to climb up, "Go up and hide for a day or two to see the limelight."
Although Master Zizhang was disheartened, he was trying to cross the river before, but he was not slow at all when he was asked to climb the tree.
Halfway through the climb, he looked down for Zhong Tianqing, but there was no one under the tree? !
He frowned and said nothing, Zhong Tianqing would not abandon him.
Sure enough, a few feet away, there was a figure squatting in front of the puddle, as if he was scooping up water, it was Zhong Tianqing.
Zhong Tianqing filled the water with the leaves of the big tree, pinched the four sides and lifted it, held it in his mouth, and then followed Master Zizhang up the tree.
The two stayed up on the tree for a day and a night with this little water.
In the early hours of the morning, Zhong Tianqing asked, "Are you hungry? I'll go find something to eat."
Master Zizhang frowned: "Forget it, it's only been a day and night, and I'm not very hungry. It would be bad if someone finds out when I go out."
Zhong Tianqing smiled: "It's nothing, you have to go out early and late."
As he spoke, he was about to descend the tree, but his movements were careful and gentle.
Master Zizhang had a flash of inspiration and asked in a low voice: "...Are you hungry?"
Zhong Tianqing looked up at him, and to tell the truth, he didn't have any appetite at all, and even felt like throwing up when he heard eating a few days ago, but...
His hand unconsciously touched his lower abdomen in the dark.
Master Zizhang was still puzzled: "No, you are having a stomachache. You have other illnesses. The weak ones are dying. How come you became energetic after narrowly escaping a fight across the river?"
Zhong Tianqing was a little guilty, and casually said: "It must have been a fire in my heart a few days ago... Don't move, I'll go and come back quickly."
He slowly climbed down the tree, took advantage of the night and cover of vegetation, and sneaked into the small village.
When he came back, he brought a piece of steamed corn bread, and the clothes of the village man and the village girl.
Master Zizhang refused to eat cornbread and asked him, "What are you doing with women's clothes?"
Zhong Tianqing shook off his clothes and looked at it, "Your Highness, the two of us can't always hide in the trees. The Yunguang Army searched by the river and the nearby villages but failed. The next step is to search the surrounding mountains and forests. There is only one way for us to go next - to enter the city !"
Master Zizhang frowned: "Go to the city? You said stay in the city?"
Liucheng is close to the Zhengdu River. It is the old nest of the evil spirit army and the largest city in the southern border.
Zhong Tianqing nodded, and lowered his head to study how to wear the clothes, "It's often the darkest under the lamp."
Master Zizhang didn't object or agree, he leaned against the tree and was silent for a while, "It's up to you."
Zhong Tianqing knew that he was depressed, but he couldn't find the tenderness to comfort him - he had a lot of troubles of his own.
He asked again, but Shi Zizhang still refused to eat the cornbread.He stared at the cornbread for a while. The cornbread was yellow, oil-free and salt-free. It looked very simple and honest. It shouldn’t be too scary. Then he put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. After a quarter of an hour, he didn’t vomit, and even Chew out a hint of sweetness.
Zhong Tianqing was very grateful - swords and swords were not scary, and stomach upset could kill half a person.
At dawn, the two of them descended from the tree and entered the city. Zhong Tianqing dressed up as a woman, and he was not shy at all, he had a thick skin.
He half put his arms around Shi Zizhang's arm, looking sick - naturally, he was still a little dizzy after walking around for a long time.
The people inside and outside the city gate had already been replaced by the Yunguang Army. There were many officers and soldiers, only about half of them were working, and the rest were chatting and laughing, as if it was Chinese New Year. But according to Zhong Tianqing, the interrogation was not extremely severe. Master Zizhang pretended to be a brother and sister who went to the city to see a doctor, and was let in after a search. The officers and soldiers interrogated the men who accompanied them most carefully.
As soon as the two of them entered the gate with their arms, they heard idlers behind the gate chatting their teeth: "When His Highness Xuezhao entered the city last night, did you go to the street to watch the excitement?"
"I saw it, how could I not read it? My daughter-in-law won't let me out, but my mother said that His Royal Highness Xuezhao is a reasonable and good person, not as domineering as the original teacher Zizhang. If you look at him more, you can't wait to gouge people's eyes. I came out, right here on the street, I could see clearly, His Highness smiled when he saw the people, his face was very kind."
Zhong Tianqing's heart skipped a beat, the man had come to stay in the city, and his steps were fast.
