Just when Li Xiaofu and You Daozi rushed over, Xin Zhao had been lying in ambush in the deep grass for three hours.

The cold wind in the early spring is still a bit chilly in the north, Xin Zhao feels a little cold, but what is colder is his heart.

Because the territory of the barbarians has been laid down, and the barbarians are similar to the Di people, the strategic deployment this time is that the border towns in northern Xinjiang pretend to attack, and the people ambush in the barbarian territory are the real main force.

When the main force of the Di people gathers near the border town, then their wave of troops ambushing in the barbarian territory can directly enter the Di people's lair and catch them by surprise.

Of course, in order to win the trust of the Di people, they also put in a lot of effort. For example, almost all the generals of the frontier army were there except General Qin, and even General Qin found a substitute as a disguise. For defense, they didn't even bring much food and grass, fearing that the Di people would find the traces if they had too much luggage.

After all, the grassland is the territory of the Di people and the barbarians. They are with the grassland every day. Some traces may not be noticed by them, but the Di people can discover their existence based on this.

The strategy is actually very good, and everything is considered very well. Even if the feint attack fails, they have already made a plan to retreat, but what they never expected is that before they launch an attack, they have already fallen first. Most of the time.

Who would have thought that there would be problems with the cattle and sheep raised by their Dajin in the barbarian territory?

Not having too much baggage means a quick battle, but this is not a quick battle. Of course, General Qin has fully considered this, so the cattle and sheep grazing in the barbarian territory became their goal. .

Beef and mutton are good food to replenish strength. You don’t need to eat much every day. With some millet, it’s enough for their small army to last for a long time.

As for the consumption of cattle and sheep, it is not worth mentioning when facing Di people.

After all, the cattle and sheep still belong to them now, but if it fails this time, it is still a question of whether this grassland still belongs to them.

There is nothing wrong with the decision to make cattle and sheep the staple food, but who would have thought that there would be problems with the cattle and sheep raised on the barbarian pastures?

When the first soldier fell, they didn't take it seriously. After all, this group of soldiers were not all from the North, not to mention that they were in the barbarian environment, they were relatively taller, and they were not acclimatized. There are also.

When the military doctor came to see him, he only thought that the vomiting and diarrhea caused by the acclimatization of the soil and water, so he prescribed some medicine, which was regarded as normal.

It's just that when the soldiers in the second and third cases collapsed and the symptoms were exactly the same, the military doctor felt something was wrong.

At this time, the first soldier who was taking medicine did not feel better, but developed a high fever.

The military doctor began to study the disease, but before he could figure out why, the military doctor himself collapsed.

Epidemics are inherently highly contagious. If you know in advance that it is an epidemic, it is better to take precautions. Nowadays, if you have frequent contact with patients without any precautions, and you yourself have eaten the source of the epidemic, then the probability of not getting sick is very small.

Military doctors are naturally not among the lucky ones.

The fall of the military doctor finally attracted attention. At this time, the whole army had more or less corresponding symptoms, and even their General Qin fell ill.

With the exception of Xin Zhao, few were spared.

If you don't know what disease you have at this time, then the military doctor will be a doctor in vain.

The epidemic, it was actually an epidemic!

But where did the disease come from?

There is no problem with the millet, they brought it from the mainland, so there is only - cattle and sheep?

The cattle and sheep were quickly checked. For safety, they disguised themselves as herdsmen for the migration. Most of the cattle and sheep are naturally living things. After noticing it at this time, they discovered that most of the cattle and sheep they brought were also sick. .

And it is exactly the same symptoms as them.

After all, they are not experienced herdsmen, and such obvious symptoms have not been discovered until now.

The soldiers who still had strength searched the surrounding area again. It is not a natural disaster if the cattle and sheep are sick. When they found the stream where the cattle and sheep often drink water, and found the carcasses of the smelly animals in the upper reaches of the stream, The truth came out.

Although the grasslands in the barbarian territory are as rich as those in the Di people, the main flow of the Heihe River is in the territory of the Di people. On the barbarian side, there is only one small tributary, which is this small stream.

Of course, the barbarians also have their own source of water, which is the holy mountain, and the water from the holy mountain is enough to feed them.

In addition, this creek is far away, so basically only cattle and sheep come to drink during grazing.

They followed the grazing route given by the previous information, and they must pass through here. The cattle and sheep must also drink water, and they also need water.

They boil water carefully before drinking, but cattle and sheep will not.

So the cattle and sheep were infected with the disease first, and then they...

General Qin didn't know whether it was Di Ren's mistake that caused them to fall into the trick, or whether they had known their plan and used such a poisonous trick on purpose, but no matter what, they had already fallen into the trick.

Although the military doctor brought enough herbs, there were not many that were suitable for the symptoms. In addition, the grasslands were not rich in herbs, so that the [-] troops could only suffer bitterly here.

And the only one in the army who is not infected with the disease is Xin Zhao.

Xin Zhao didn't know why he didn't catch the disease, obviously he had eaten the cattle, sheep and even drinking water.

Because his martial arts are relatively high?

Don't talk about it, General Qin's martial arts is much higher than him. Until now, he can't do more than fifty strokes in General Qin's hands.

So why?

I don't know the reason, but no matter why, now he is the only one who can investigate all kinds of information in a healthy way, and even... asked the frontier army for help.

It's just that before reaching the border town, they encountered a large number of cavalry from the Di people on the road.

Unexpectedly, not only they wanted to surprise the Di people through the place of the barbarians, but the Di people also wanted to surprise them through the territory of the barbarians.

The Di people and the barbarians have been neighbors for many years, and they are very familiar with each other. After all, they have just taken over here not long ago. Even if they have drawn the corresponding maps, they still don't know as much about some remote paths as the Di people.

This is what Xin Zhao encountered now.

First, a small group of scouts came to explore the way, and Xin Zhao released the horse immediately. In order to prevent exposure, he also removed the entire harness.

There are a lot of wild horses on the grassland, and since Da Jin raises horses here, it is not uncommon to lose one occasionally. Di Ren just intercepted the horse and found that it was lost by Jin people. Things in the barbarian territory were let go.

Some Di people wanted to drag the horse back and eat it, but they were doing this quietly, and any unnecessary movements that might be exposed were not allowed. The Di people could only watch the horse run away in embarrassment.

Xin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and lay himself down a little deeper.

Thank you for the clothes that Xiaofu gave him before he left. If it weren't for this green grass, he might not have been able to escape Di Ren's eyes.

When Xiaofu gave him clothes before leaving, he only thought of it as a joke, but he never expected that the clothes that looked ugly and couldn't be worn at all would have such an effect at this time.

This is not an outfit that focuses on keeping warm, but one that focuses on stealth and concealment.

Di Ren's scouts retreated, but Xin Zhao did not move. Sure enough, after a while, another wave of scouts came again.

After going back and forth five times, the scouts retreated and replaced by a large number of Diren cavalry.

General Qin has taught him common sense on these battlefields. Compared with the simple-minded barbarians, Di people are quite cunning in this regard. Then Di people are wolves.

This is a highly cooperative, highly disciplined, highly cunning, and highly cruel nation.

"So don't believe that the Di people's scouts will retreat, maybe when you let down your vigilance, they will turn around and give you a fatal blow."

What's more, even when Da Jin came here, he would send three waves of scouts to circle around. Xin Zhao didn't believe that the Di people who dared to walk in the territory of Da Jin would be less cautious than them.

It's a good thing he didn't go out.

A large number of Di Ren's cavalry gradually moved away, but Xin Zhao still did not move.

Sure enough, in just two hours, Di Ren came to investigate, and there were ten teams mopping up. If Xin Zhao hadn't expected it and found a safer place while he was in the gap, he might have already Discovered by Di Ren.

Di Ren's large wave of cavalry finally retreated, but Xin Zhao did not have any relaxed look on his face.

Because Di Ren's goal must be the border town!

Moreover, thinking of the source of the disease found in the water source before, they got the disease after eating cattle and sheep, so what about the people in the border town?

As the place closest to the place where cattle and sheep are raised, will they not buy some meat, mutton and cattle for consumption?

Will the frontier soldiers not want to maintain the physical strength of the soldiers, but add meat to them?

If they also ate cattle and sheep with diseases, what would the border town look like now?

Did Di Ren have already planned all this, so he delivered a fatal blow to the border town at this time?

The more he thought about it, the colder Xin Zhao felt, and the more confused he was about the purpose of his trip.

If even the frontier soldiers can't take care of themselves, what about them?What about General Qin?Can we still wait for rescue?

But this confusion was only for a moment, and in the next second, Xin Zhao's expression became firm, no matter what, he couldn't give up.

Besides, Di Ren was already heading towards the border town, so he had to send news to the border town in advance, even if they had new equipment, Di Ren's fighting power would never be underestimated.

They just made up the gap, not crushed them.

So Xin Zhao experienced the longest two days and two nights.

Wearing the stars and wearing the moon, day and night, without a horse, only relying on his legs, in order to catch up with Di Ren, Xin Zhao has completely burned himself, and finally, after making a detour, he reached the border town.

Taking out the military order given to him by General Qin, Xin Zhao entered the city, but before he had time to rest and wash up, he begged to see the current biggest general of the frontier army.

"I have something important to do."

It was only when Xin Zhao saw the border town general on the sickbed that a wry smile gradually appeared in Xin Zhao's heart.

"The water source in the barbarian territory is polluted, and the cattle and sheep are infected with diseases and cannot be eaten. In addition, about [-] Di cavalry are coming here from the barbarian territory. It is estimated that they will rush from the west, so we need to be careful."

"In addition, the entire army of 5 people in the barbarian territory is infected with the disease, and I ask you for help."

The general on the sickbed also showed a wry smile. Now the border town is hard to protect itself. Although there are many doctors in the city, they discovered that it was an epidemic at the first time, but because they had no precautions before and the source of the disease was scattered, they still could not get effective treatment. control.

Of the 40 frontier troops, 30 are suffering from this disease, and one or two tenths of them can maintain their combat effectiveness. In addition, the Di people are attacking the city from the front, and there are still [-] Di people in the west who want to rush forward. I can prevent it.

But General Qin's 5 people can't ignore it.

So the general guarding the city just pondered for a while, and then said, "I will send a doctor and enough medicinal materials, but the border town is tense now, sorry that there is no way to take the general home here."

Xin Zhao nodded, this result is already very good, of course he knows the situation in the border town, "I'll take them there."

He had already walked for two days and two nights before, and even his body couldn't stand it. After passing the news, Xin Zhao couldn't bear it anymore. He told the soldiers around him to wake him up in three hours. Couldn't help falling asleep.

This sleep lasted so long that Xin Zhao was a little dazed when he woke up, thinking he was in the palace.

Otherwise, why would the little fat baby lie in his arms?

The baby in his arms was soft and fragrant, and there was still a little sweat on his forehead, Xin Zhao couldn't help but carefully wiped it off, then pulled the little fat baby's skirt, covered the little fat belly, and covered the quilt Strictly speaking, he quietly got off the bed.

And when he got out of the military tent, Xin Zhao realized that it was already a starry night outside.

The soldiers were still standing outside the account, Xin Zhao frowned, "Didn't you say wake me up in three hours?"

Looking at the time now, I am afraid that five or six hours have passed.

General Qin didn't wait for anyone. If he didn't come sooner, he was afraid of accidents.

The soldier replied, "General, His Royal Highness Fu Wang and the National Teacher told you not to call you, so..."

Xin Zhao gave a wry smile, "Why did King Fu and Master Guo Shi come here?"

Hearing this, the soldier replied excitedly, "General, we are saved, we are saved, King Fu and Master Guoshi have come to rescue us with doctors and medicinal materials."

Then the soldiers explained in detail how King Fu came, how powerful the national teacher was, and how easy the medicine was to use, but in just half a day, everyone's symptoms had been relieved and relieved.

Xin Zhao was fascinated by it, wondering if the soldier's voice was a bit loud, but in the middle of speaking, Xin Zhao's back was hugged warmly.

Li Xiaofu hugged Zhao Xiaoxin's waist, buried his head on his back, obviously he was still a little confused, he said inarticulately, "Why did you get up?"

Seeing a certain chubby baby get out of the bed wearing single clothes like this, Xin Zhao no longer cared what the soldiers were saying, picked up the chubby baby and walked into the army tent, and then buried him in the quilt.

"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? Did you just come out like this?"

Xin Zhao was angry and anxious, is this little fat baby taking care of himself like this?

"And why did you come here? The disease is rampant here. If you bring medicine, just ask the doctor to come. Why are you here to join in the fun?"

Li Xiaofu became a little sober after a while of tossing, and he was a little unconvinced when he heard this, "Hmph, I'm amazing, don't underestimate me!"

But just as Li Xiaofu finished speaking, Xin Zhao pinned him down under the quilt with a finger. Xin Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Are you amazing?"

The little chubby baby was entangled with the entire quilt, and it took a long time to sit up again. Hearing Xin Zhao's words, he was very angry, "I'm just very good."

Xin Zhao didn't want to understand either, he only knew that this place was very dangerous and he shouldn't let the little fat boy come here. Thinking of this, he also became a little dissatisfied with the people in Beijing, how could he let Xiaofu mess around?

"What's so great about you?"

"I'm good everywhere!"

"Really, shall we try?"

"I'm not going to try it with you."

Li Xiaofu hesitated for a second, but he was a little unconvinced in his heart, hum, isn't it just that his force value is higher, when Xiaofu grows up to Zhao Xiaoxin's age, he will be very powerful!

The unnutritious conversation between the two lasted for a while, until Li Xiaofu's stomach started to growl, Xin Zhao held Li Xiaofu in his arms and prepared to eat with a smile.

The food in the barracks was not very good, not to mention compared with the palace, even if it was not compared with the restaurants in Shangjing, Xin Zhao was still worried that Li Xiaofu would not be used to it.

But unexpectedly, even though it wasn't very delicious, Li Xiaofu still ate all the food bit by bit, without any waste.

Li Xiaofu: It is bad behavior to waste food!Any food should be eaten in its entirety, you can't let them down!

And just after eating, Zhao Xin also took Li Xiaofu to find You Daozi.

You Daozi was still awake at this time, when he saw Xin Zhao and Li Xiaofu coming, he just smiled and let them enter the army tent.

"How did Xiaofu come here?"

Xin Zhao couldn't help but ask.

"Come here for the epidemic."

"But he's still young."

You Daozi naturally understood Xin Zhao's worry, just patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have to trust Xiaofu!"

"But……"

Xin Zhao was still waiting to persuade, but You Daozi continued, "Do you know why you didn't catch the disease?"

Xin Zhao was stunned for a moment, of course he thought about it, but in the end, he didn't find any other reason besides good luck.

You Daozi smiled, "Because your place...is blessing you."

And the place You Daozi pointed at was the place where Xin Zhao's amulet was located.

Xin Zhao was taken aback.

His amulet?

There is the peace talisman that Xiaoyi asked for, and there are... Xiaofu's two baby teeth.

It turned out that this was actually the one who protected him and kept him from the disease?

"So, don't worry too much about Xiaofu."

But...Although Xin Zhao believed in Xiao Fu's power, but emotionally, he still hoped that he could shelter him from the wind and rain, so that he would always stand behind him without any worries.

Then You Daozi told Zhao Xin about the situation in Beijing, and learned that there was also an epidemic in Beijing. Fortunately, when Xiaofu and Jiang Taiyi worked together to turn the tide, he let go of his worries.

"I'm great, I'm great~"

With the testimony of witnesses, Li Xiaofu's tail was raised now, and the expression on Zhao Xiaoxin's face was full of words, come and praise me, come and praise me.

Xin Zhao couldn't help laughing.

But according to Little Fatty's request, he praised him fiercely, "Yeah, Xiaofu is the most powerful and smartest, and I will rely on Xiaofu to protect me from now on."

"Don't worry, I will protect you!"

Li Xiaofu patted his small chest, his expression was full of complacency.

After laughing, Xin Zhao also explained the situation on General Qin's side clearly. There are a large number of doctors and herbs coming from the border city. It should be under control, but in the depths of the barbarian grass field, General Qin and fifty thousand soldiers are still waiting. to their rescue.

Li Xiaofu knew about his grandfather's affairs before, but he never expected that it would be so serious. When he heard that Xin Zhao was leaving and that his grandfather had no way to stay, his eyes immediately filled with tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry, General Qin will be fine."

Li Xiaofu still couldn't control himself, he choked on You Daozi's clothes, "Master, Master, let's go find Grandpa right away, okay?"

But right now it was night, not to mention whether he would meet Di Ren according to the original route, even the prairie wolf at night would be a big trouble, how could You Daozi agree.

"Wait a minute, is it daytime? Wait until dawn and set off immediately."

But how could Li Xiaofu wait?That's grandpa!

However, under the supervision of Xin Zhao and You Daozi, there was no way to escape, Li Xiaofu thought for a while, and could only cast his eyes on the little dark cloud in the sky.

Little Wuyun, little Wuyun, hurry up and find grandpa, and bring the medicine to them, okay?

No matter how bad the rain is, it can also increase the life energy of grandpa and the others!

Because there were a lot of people suffering from the disease, the barracks was boiling medicine for twelve hours. Knowing the little master's request, of course little Wuyun had to obey.

So secretly, secretly, he stole dozens of barrels of concoction to treat the disease, and a dark cloud like ink was on the road like this.

Follow the route provided by the little master, go this way, this way, this way, hey, I saw it!

So General Qin and the [-] army were dying and dying of illness, when it rained suddenly in the middle of the night.

The most frightening thing is that this heavy rain is actually black!

It also smells like medicine!

The soldiers were all terrified, and at first they all hid in their tents and refused to go out, for fear of being drenched by the cursed black rain.

But the situation changed when the first soldiers on patrol found that they seemed to have no fever and some strength.

This rain... seems to be good rain?

So the second and third soldiers started trying to get some rain, and they got better too!

Now the soldiers were boiling, and not only were they soaked in the rain, they also started to catch the rain and drink it up!

Although the rain is as painful as the coptis juice prescribed by the old doctor, but if they can recover, they will not be afraid of the bitterness!

So the night passed, the sky cleared up, and the soldiers in the barracks were half healed. Except for the dingy patch on the ground, almost no one could tell what kind of weird rain this place experienced last night.

Little Wu Yunqi was very proud of winning the victory, but looking at the group of naked and unpretentious humans below, it was a bit hot-eyed, and finally couldn't help but dragged his little tail and went back to his master.

You Daozi looked at the little black cloud who was going back and forth, and didn't say anything, but his eyes became softer and softer.
