64 Chapter 64 Southeast

The black arrow reflected a frightening cold light in the sun. At the critical moment, Jing Shao tilted his head sharply, 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 did not 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. , both arrows 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 avoid 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 reached out to hug her princess's waist, relaxing her body and nestling in 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 was heard.

"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 to do so, but he was afraid that he would be tired if he held Jun Qing too hard for a long time, so he reached out and pulled a pillow and placed 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 large, 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 who was occupying 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.

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 mountains 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 wars, 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, but 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 fiefdom. Jing Shao sighed. Winter was about to come. Even if he captured the main city immediately, he might not be able to return to Beijing 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. The fight in the southwest was too smooth, which made him a little aggressive.

"Are you in a hurry to return to Beijing? Is there something important?" Mu Hanzhang sat next to him and looked around. The little tiger ran away.

"No big deal," Jing Shao smiled, "It's the same if you let others do it." Anyway, he had already told Ren Feng before leaving Beijing. If he couldn't get back by then, someone would do it.

Mu Hanzhang raised his eyebrows. Looking at his appearance, it must not be a serious matter. He shook his head helplessly and got up to go out to find the little tiger cub.

At the riverside outside the camp, Xiao Huang was standing on a stone, staring at the fish in the river intently. The water was gurgling, and the big silver fish was swaying in the water. It looked very delicious!

"Plop!" When Mu Hanzhang came over, he saw a big black and yellow fur ball jumping into the river. He didn't catch the big fish, but got his fur wet.

The little tiger climbed up the shore, shook off the water droplets on his body, and the fur on his face collapsed because of the water, which was quite funny. He looked up and saw his master, and immediately jumped over happily.

Mu Hanzhang quickly dodged to the side, looking at the big paws covered with mud and water with disdain. He had just given him a bath yesterday, but it was in vain.

"Wow!" Without catching any fish to eat, the little tiger cub lay on his back at the feet of his master and turned over his belly, asking for dried meat.

"Woo..." The sound of a horn came from not far away, which was the critical moment of the battle between the two armies.

"Jun Qing!" Jing Shao, who had come out to find his princess to have lunch, came over. Seeing that he was attracted by the sound of the horn, he pulled him up a small mound in front of him. From a distance, he saw the two groups of people rushing together, with smoke and dust billowing and the sound of killing shaking the sky.

"If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we 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 must be difficult. I didn't let her pass on the news from the beginning." Ge Ruoyi was his hidden weapon buried beside the King of Southeast, so she naturally couldn't be exposed to others. If she revealed any flaws in such a trivial matter as passing the news, it would be a waste of time and effort, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

"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 originally had a slight advantage, suddenly withdrew its troops and turned back. Looking at the sky, it was just noon. If they withdrew their troops at this time, there must be something wrong inside 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 back.

"Report--" The soldier rushed into the central tent and knelt down, "Reporting to the commander, the Southeast Army suddenly withdrew its troops. General Hao asked whether to pursue them."

Jing Shao pondered for a moment. Although it is not advisable to pursue a desperate enemy, the situation he saw on the mound did not seem to be a strategy to lure the enemy: "Chase!" A simple word, with a loud sound, the messenger immediately received the order and rode away on a fast horse.

Hao Dadao received the order to pursue, and found that the Southeast Army was suddenly in chaos. He rushed up and killed them without thinking twice. When night fell, he returned to the camp with a blood-stained armor. He did not have time to pack up and went into the central tent to report.

"I see that the situation of the Southeast Army seems to have happened something big," Hao Dadao wiped the blood and dust off his face, "General, I think that no matter what happened, it is a good time to wipe out the Southeast Army while the army is in chaos."

Jing Shao listened to Hao Dadao's report quietly, and his heartbeat accelerated. He was very excited. This situation was very similar to the news of the death of the King of Southeast in the previous life.

Mu Hanzhang frowned slightly, held Jing Shao's hand, signaling him not to be impulsive, and said to Hao Dadao: "General, you have worked hard, go and rest first, and make a decision tomorrow."

The pursuit at night was useless, so Hao Dadao suppressed his excitement, clasped his fists and saluted, and turned to leave.
