The only son of the Zhou family, the previous No. [-] scholar, was sent by the emperor to be a grain guard, responsible for delivering grain to Yuling Pass.This news really shocked everyone.

This is really not a good job. The food security officer is already working hard, and Yuling Pass is in a critical situation. I don’t know when it will fall, not to mention the danger. If the rescue does not arrive, the city will be destroyed. Running around, you have to take on responsibilities that have nothing to do with you.

When they learned that he asked for his order to go, everyone was puzzled and speculated that the Zhou family would be turned upside down next time, and Zhou Yuyun had to go back and kneel in the ancestral hall.

The Zhou family is not as bloody as outsiders guessed.

Although his mother was distressed and worried after learning about this incident, she also knew that the emperor's order must not be violated, so she stopped crying under Zhou's father's persuasion.As for Zhou's father, Zhou Yuyun originally thought that Zhou's father would blame him, after all, Zhou's father had never wanted him to get too close to the seventh prince.Father Zhou didn't say anything, just looked at him complicatedly, and sighed: "Since you have received your order, you must do your best and be loyal to the country."

"My son understands."

"Go."

At this time, none of the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty dared to hold back, and the food, grass and troops were quickly assembled, and the team set off for Yuling Pass on the frontier.

The generals and officials who led the team were worried about the situation at Yuling Pass, so they marched overnight without taking a rest along the way.Zhou Yuyun has never been so tired. Although he has learned riding and archery, he spends a lot of time studying in the house. He has never tried to drive day and night.

After a few days, all the bones in his body seemed to be broken, but he didn't care about it at all.During the march, they didn't receive any news from Yuling Pass, so they rushed towards their destination completely in the dark.Zhou Yuyun couldn't help but wonder: Has Yuling Pass been breached?How is Xiaoyuan doing now?Is he still alive?

After four days and three nights, they finally saw the city wall of Yuling Pass, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Although he had learned from the Lincheng officials that Yuling Pass had already received reinforcements from the neighboring city, he was finally relieved when he really arrived here.

Only Zhou Yuyun was still anxious.He learned that Qin Youyuan was still staying at Yuling Pass. On the one hand, he was afraid that some rumors would spread after he left to shake the morale of the army. On the other hand, he could not move easily because of his serious injuries.

After entering Yuling Pass, he didn't care about greeting or resting with the officials who came to welcome him. He arranged the food and grass properly, and then went to the place where Qin Youyuan rested that he had inquired about earlier.

The border town is tough. Even though Qin Youyuan is the prince and the ruler, he only lives in a small courtyard. Fortunately, the environment is quiet and suitable for recuperating.

Zhou Yuyun walked outside the courtyard, and the soldiers guarding the door seemed to know him, so they saluted and let him in easily.

Zhou Yuyun stepped in, just in time to see several imperial physicians who came with the army come out of the house.He hastily went up to meet him and lowered his voice: "Several imperial physicians, how is your Highness's injury?"

The leading old doctor stroked his beard, with a sad face: "The arrow happened to be stuck near the heart and lungs. Fortunately, the doctor who treated him at that time handled it well, so he saved his life. I just want to ride a horse like before when I was not injured. Archery is impossible. And in the future, you must take care of it carefully, otherwise, it may affect your lifespan."

The last sentence, the old doctor's words were very vague, but Zhou Yuyun still heard clearly.

He felt his heart go cold for an instant.

The old imperial doctor has been in the palace for many years, so he naturally knows that the relationship between the two of them is very good. Seeing his pale face at the moment, the old imperial doctor couldn't bear it, and added: "As long as you can take good care of yourself, pay attention to your diet, and think less , it won't have much impact."

Zhou Yuyun smiled wryly.That being said, since he was born in the royal family, Xiao Yuan has the ambition to climb high, so how could he think less?

"His Royal Highness the Seventh just drank the sedative medicine, and he should be asleep by now. Don't wake him up." After the old imperial physician finished this sentence, he led a group of imperial physicians to discuss the prescription.

Zhou Yuyun walked lightly into the room and lifted the curtain on the bed.

Qin Youyuan's eyes were tightly closed, lying on a brocade quilt, his face was even paler against the blood loss.

Not counting the hasty farewell after the late-night meeting, Zhou Yuyun hadn't seen Qin Youyuan for a full year.Zhou Yuyun looked at the man lying on the bed, and felt a little strange for a while.In his heart, Qin Youyuan seemed to be still a teenager, with a beautiful face and clear eyes.But now, the person lying on the bed, even though his face was pale and haggard due to blood loss, had already shown the corners of his brows and eyes. It could be seen that he was a handsome and resolute young man.

Xiao Yuan has grown up.

There was inexplicable warmth and melancholy in Zhou Yuyun's heart.

Suddenly Qin Youyuan frowned, as if in pain, and muttered something.

Zhou Yuyun thought he was awake, and hurried over to him: "Xiaoyuan, what's wrong?"

"Mother, mother, I, wrong, don't hit me. It hurts."

Zhou Yuyun didn't hear clearly at first, but only heard him cry of pain, and after a few more sentences, she suddenly realized that Xiao Yuan had dreamed about what happened when she was a child.

"Brother Yun, save me."

Zhou Yuyun's heart was pierced when he heard it, he bent down, put his arms around Qin Youyuan, and patted Qin Youyuan's arm: "Xiaoyuan, it's okay, brother Yun is here."

Maybe because he heard Zhou Yuyun's voice in his sleep, Qin Youyuan gradually became quiet, and his frowning brows also relaxed.

Zhou Yuyun didn't get up either, but maintained this awkward posture, wrapping the weak Qin Youyuan in his arms.

When Qin Youyuan woke up the next day, he felt light all over his body and dizzy in his head. He hadn't slept so well for a long time.Reluctant to wake up for a while, he closed his eyes and remembered the rare dream last night, while thinking in his heart, should he go to the old doctor again to ask for some tranquilizing medicine that he took yesterday.

A burst of voices came from outside the house, completely dispelling the aftertaste of Qin Youyuan's dream.

Qin Youyuan was upset, and wanted to let him know who disturbed people's dreams early in the morning, and he must be punished to repair the city wall for ten days.

Those people got closer and closer, and their voices became clearer and clearer.Qin Youyuan had the wonderful idea of ​​punishing these people to build the city wall as a support, so he listened carefully to the voices of these people.

It seemed that an old man was asking, "Is Your Highness awake?"

Then came a very familiar voice from Qin Youyuan: "It wasn't there when I came out."

Qin Youyuan was stunned, and he closed his eyes again: "It seems that I haven't woken up yet?"

It wasn't until Zhou Yuyun opened the door and walked in that Qin Youyuan had no choice but to believe that Zhou Yuyun had really appeared in front of him.

Qin Youyuan was displeased and surprised: "Brother Yun, why are you here?"

Zhou Yuyun walked over to help Qin Youyuan up, and put a soft pillow behind his back: "I am ordered by the emperor to accompany the army to secure food."

"Brother Yun, the situation here is dangerous. Since you have delivered the food, you should leave for Beijing as soon as possible."

"Now that the war is not stable, I will not return to Beijing. Although I am not talented, I can organize logistics and do my best for the country." Seeing Qin Youyuan lying on the hospital bed and still worrying about his safety, Zhou Yuyun couldn't help slowing down his voice: "Besides, your injury is still unhealed, how can I go back with confidence?"

"Brother Yun, did you come here for me?" Qin Youyuan asked with a trembling voice.

"Yes." Zhou Yuyun was silent for a moment, and finally admitted.

"Is that what I mean?" Qin Youyuan's eyes were full of hope, mixed with fear: "Or is it another wishful thinking of mine?"

Zhou Yuyun remained silent, and only helped Qin Youyuan to press the corner of the quilt.

But Qin Youyuan seemed to understand, he slowly showed a big and uncontrollable smile, and gently grabbed Zhou Yuyun's hand that pressed the corner of the quilt for him.
