"Cough cough cough..."

The weather started to get cold in early autumn, and it rained on the mountain last night. Qiu Ling took care of Gu Hanzhou until late at night, but she herself fell ill.

Xiaocao asked worriedly, "Girl, do you need to call the military doctor to take a look?"

Qiu Ling shook her head and opened the message from Gu Tangli. There were only two words: "food and grass."

Following Yunque's actions, now Gu Tangli, Xiangchu and here, the three parties quickly established a secret line and began to exchange information.

Qiuling looked at it for a long time, then put the note on the candle and burned it. He wrote with special juice and quickly sent a message.

She became increasingly ill, and on this rare day in Beginning of Autumn, she used illness as an excuse to not take care of Gu Hanzhou.

Gu Hanzhou also sent an imperial physician to confirm that she was indeed infected with the cold.

After taking the boiled medicine, she wrapped herself in thick clothes and went to a secluded place. She looked at the yellowing leaves and fell into deep thought.

She was sick, but Gu Hanzhou was almost recovered, and he started to deal with things with the light on every night.

She had a bad premonition for no reason, so she sent two more messages overnight, then lay weakly on the table, "I've done everything I can, and it depends on my fate next."

Sure enough, at night, Gu Hanzhou came to see her in person and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

She leaned against the bed with a flushed face and said in a hoarse voice, "I can't take care of the prince for the time being."

"It doesn't matter. Since you are sick, just take good care of yourself."

As Gu Hanzhou said this, two soldiers came in behind her and moved all the things on her table.

"Ahem, cough, cough, did I do something wrong?" She coughed wildly, covering her chest, and said at a loss.

Gu Hanzhou said with a smile, "Since you are sick, take a good rest. This is a special period. I will handle all future news and communications personally."

He doesn't trust anyone now, especially when he suffers from women one after another. He regards any woman as a poisonous snake who will take the opportunity to bite him at any time.

"Hand over the token?"

Qiu Ling took out the token with trembling hands and handed it over. Gu Hanzhou took it and turned around and left, not even bothering to comfort her.

If she hadn't been taking good care of her and hadn't done anything extraordinary for the time being, he would have killed her long ago.

After they left, Xiaocao walked over from the corner, poured her a cup of hot tea and said worriedly, "He took over everything himself, will he find something wrong?"

Qiuling was glad that she once again relied on her understanding and intuition of him to make a successful judgment. The last two messages she sent out were that she had been isolated and cut off from all news about Qishaucao.

The secret guard outside who is mainly responsible for this aspect has a tacit understanding of working with her for many years and will understand what she means.

Xiaocao said softly, "I hope Gu Tangli and King Xiang can really find the antidote."

She doesn't want to die at all and wants to take Xiaocai to many places.

Qiu Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Let's do everything we can to obey fate. All we can do now is wait and see what happens."

These are sensitive times, coupled with what happened before. When Gu Hanzhou was suspicious, he would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.

Any rash action at this time may bring disaster. It's safest to do nothing and just be there for the time being.

She told Xiaocao, "Don't go out and wander around if you have nothing to do recently. Keep a low profile and be a transparent person who doesn't attract attention."

She had already made up her mind to stay in bed and recuperate until the situation was unclear. Even if everything fails in the end, in the worst case scenario, she must at least maintain a good state and survive.

Back in the tent, Gu Hanzhou personally checked the latest news. Qiuling organized all the information into categories at a glance. He glanced at it a few times but didn't see the problem.

Wen Yuchen glanced at the books on the table and knew instantly, "Are you too tired?"

"She is very ill, and the information is very important in the war. The more information you have, the more likely it is to break the situation. So it is better for me to take control personally. After all, women cannot be trusted."

Wen Yuchen had nothing to say, "I have already written to contact my friends in Mobei. It's hard to say whether they are willing to help. I can only say that I tried my best."

After all, there are some forces that have not been eliminated, including Gu Hanzhou, who must have back-ups and some connections that have not been exposed.

But now that the situation is critical, it's hard to say whether they are still willing to take the risk and deal with them.

Gu Hanzhou raised his eyes and looked him up and down, even though he was stationed in the mountains, the conditions were difficult. He was still dressed in green clothes and looked a bit bookish.

"You won't regret following me, if you didn't join me. You are still the son of the Wen family. You come from a famous family and have a bright future."

His heart skipped a beat. He said this suddenly and inexplicably. This was because he was suffering from paranoia again.

He said calmly, "My situation in the Wen family is not good, and it is not my turn to be the leader of the Wen family in Qinggui. I followed the prince because I wanted to have a chance to win or lose."

"Besides, Your Majesty has saved my life. There is nothing I won't regret later. It's better to live a vigorous life than to live an ignoble existence."

When he said this, he showed a bit of the arrogance of a scholar, which was very consistent with his usual personality.

"You can see clearly." Gu Hanzhou sneered, "If we lose this time, we may lose our lives in Xiangchu."

Are there so many people willing to risk their lives to die with him, especially a child from a noble family like him?

So now he instinctively doubts everyone, but he also knows that he can't stand alone and cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately without evidence. Otherwise, it will only cause panic and make his already bad situation worse.

Anyway, Gu Tangli and Mu Linlang's backstabbing made him suspicious, but he had to suppress it, and his whole mind was in turmoil.

Wen Yuchen didn't care what his mood was, and suggested respectfully, "Now that things have happened, we should prepare for the worst. Mobei can't accommodate us, but there are so many small countries in the entire desert, and there is always room for us. "

After all, he didn't want blood to stain the river. These were all soldiers from Mobei. If they really fought an army of 300,000 people, it would be tragic no matter what.

It would be best to drag him to death or use other methods, so he didn't want him to go crazy.

His suggestion was sincere, and Gu Hanzhou's doubts were alleviated. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Let me think about it."

He continued to lie, "In short, although the situation is difficult, it has not reached the point of death. With an army of 300,000, as long as we can retreat, no matter where we go, there will be a chance to make a comeback."

"You thought you weren't afraid of death?"

"No one wants to die if they can live. Besides, we haven't reached the end yet. We won't be willing to die like this."

These words touched Gu Hanzhou's heart. He couldn't bear to be in this situation.

As long as there is a chance, he can always get up. Therefore, he delayed giving the order to attack with all his strength.

After exiting the tent, he curled his lips sarcastically.

Death is necessary, it just depends on how you die.

Of course, if Gu Hanzhou died on his own, he would not accompany him on this last journey.
