Rebel

The wind is cold and the water is rustling.

At night, Gu Ao started to have a fever. He marched day and night, the strong wind cut his face, and the wound was not healed, so he contracted the wind and cold. My vision is starting to blur.Fortunately, Gu Ao was wearing a helmet and armor, wrapped in a cloak, and turned up his neckline; the further north he went, the stronger the wind and sand, during the march, all the riders covered their mouths with cloth to prevent the entrance of the wind and sand, and Gu Ao did the same. The soldiers couldn't even see his face.

Running all the way, Liao Qinghui followed Gu Ao's earlier arrangements and orders, so there was no serious problem.

Finally approaching the Northland, the giant deer was on the outskirts, and a group of cavalry without flags appeared in front of them. The horses were all horses from the Western Regions, only one of them was bloody and slightly sweaty. The man on the seat was wearing white armor and carrying a painting The halberd is Yu Junfan.He took off his helmet, rode close to the [-] Han cavalrymen who rushed to the bloody encirclement, and asked, "...Where is the King of Han?"

All the riders moved out of the way, Gu Ao held the reins of the horse, and the brown horse came out slowly step by step.Gu Ao didn't say a word, and there was no smile on his face as if he had been reunited after a long absence, he just looked at Yu Junfan quietly, Yu Junfan was slightly startled.

The two looked at each other, Yu Junfan galloped close, and when he got off the horse, the spurs under his feet inadvertently touched the horse under Gu Ao's seat, and the horse suddenly neighed and raised its front hooves.Yu Junfan had sharp eyes and quick hands, took a step forward, grabbed the reins of Gu Ao's horse, hissed a few times, and let him kneel down slowly.

Yu Junfan ordered: "Come here, the king of Han's horse is frightened, and it is not suitable to ride any more. The king of Han has something to discuss with me, prepare the carriage!"

"Yes!"

Yu Junfan walked up to the carriage, lifted the curtain respectfully, Gu Ao stepped off the kneeling horse, took a look at Yu Junfan, then supported Yu Junfan's arm that raised the curtain, and got into the carriage.Yu Junfan followed.

As soon as the curtain of the car fell, Yu Junfan hugged Gu Ao's body that was about to fall in the car.Gu Ao sighed deeply, Yu Junfan supported Gu Ao to the seat, reached behind Gu Ao and hurriedly untied his cloak and mask, but saw that Gu Ao's face was pale, and there was no trace between his lips. Bloodless, eyes are cloudy.

Yu Junfan took off his cloak, folded it up as a cushion, and placed it on Gu Ao's back. He supported him, leaned over Gu Ao's body, touched Gu Ao's cold hand, and asked in a low voice: "... Where is it, how long has it been?"

Gu Ao pointed to the shoulders and abdomen. Yu Junfan untied his armor, took off his boots and armor for Gu Ao, and held Gu Ao's calf in his arms to warm him.

Gu Ao closed his eyes.

Yu Junfan reached out and touched Gu Ao's forehead, and said lightly: "Hold on for a while, and go back to the camp. I'll call the military doctor in Anqu."

Gu Ao nodded, opened his eyes, smiled at Yu Junfan, and said a few words hoarsely, his voice was drowned by the sound of the wheels of the carriage... Yu Junfan couldn't hear clearly, so he approached his ear and asked :"What did you say?"

Gu Ao repeated it again, and Yu Junfan finally understood. It turned out that Gu Ao said: "...I didn't expect you to come."

Yu Junfan cupped Gu Ao's hand to his mouth and breathed out: "Of course I'm coming, although we agreed to meet at the camp, I'm always uneasy tonight, thinking of you traveling thousands of miles to lure Yong Chi away for me , let me fight a big victory, I have to come to pick you up no matter what..."

Gu Ao hooked the corner of his mouth, as if he was smiling.

Yu Junfan pressed the acupuncture point on Gu Ao's leg, Gu Ao closed his eyes to rest, after a while he opened his eyes, his eyes became clearer, and said: "Jun Fan..."

"Huh?" Yu Junfan approached, Gu Ao reached out and touched the outline of Yu Junfan's face, and said hoarsely: "...I am sick, but you seem to be clearer. After every battle, you seem to be like this .”

Yu Junfan smiled wryly: "Then I wish you were not sick or injured."

Gu Ao withdrew his hand and looked out of the car window. There was a bright moon hanging in the night sky outside. Gu Ao followed the light with his eyes: "...my illness is worth it...Hu Ben and Fen Wu, the main forces staying in the capital were scattered That's it... now Yongchi is able to compete with the Northland, it is the 15 troops he brought to fight Jiangqu. Even if the remnant army in Shangjing is collected, it is only in the early 20s... Now his army is out, and the march cannot keep up with me... ...After I join forces with you, I will attack him again. He is exhausted after a long journey, and he has also experienced a battle with Jiangqu, so he is very tired..."

"I understand." Yu Junfan shook Gu Ao's hand, "There is still a long time on the road, you should take a rest first."

Under Yu Junfan's caress, Gu Ao closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

……

When I heard the human voice again, I had already arrived in the big tent.Gu Ao slowly opened his eyes, the curtain in front of him was covered, and the candlelight was flickering outside.He heard Yu Junfan talking to someone in a low voice: "The king of Han is hurt..."

"The King of Han's injury can't reach the bone marrow, but the damage is caused by riding a horse for several days after the injury. The wound has not healed. The villain just saw that the skin of the wound has rotted... If it is just an injury, it is fine. It is not difficult to cure. It takes a hundred days of cultivation. There was no serious problem. However, after the King of Han was injured, he did not ride horses for days and nights, and was exposed to the wind and cold. He had one meal a day, his belly was always empty, and the wind and cold had penetrated into his bones... If it were not for the fact that the King of Han was originally very strong... I am afraid..."

Gradually regaining his consciousness, Gu Ao looked around and found that he was lying on the camping couch, not in the carriage, and his armor had been taken off, and the smell of sweat and blood on his body had been wiped clean. The injured area has been cleaned and applied again... Gu Ao coughed, and Yu Junfan immediately opened the curtain and came in: "The King of Han is awake?"

Gu Ao said: "...water."

Yu Junfan waved his hand to the outside, the sound of footsteps went away, he went up and poured water for Gu Ao himself, sat sideways on the side of the bed, helped Gu Ao's body, and carefully fed the water to Gu Ao, Gu Ao He drank the water by Yu Junfan's hand, looked at Yu Junfan again, and said, "...I'm much better, don't worry."

Yu Junfan took out a wet towel and wiped off the sweat on Gu Ao's forehead: "Take a rest, you haven't slept for a few days."

Gu Ao shook his head and stood up: "Yong Chi has been chasing after them, they will arrive in Gyeonggi tomorrow, I will go to the camp to have a look."

"But..." Yu Junfan frowned.

"It's so dark at night, they can't see my face clearly, follow me." Gu Ao pointed to the outside of the curtain, "Bring me my clothes."

Yu Junfan was silent for a moment, and said, "I won't take it."

Gu Ao said: "You listen to me, go get it."

Yu Junfan forced Gu Ao's body into the quilt, stood up, and said, "I won't take it, not only will I not take it, but I won't allow others to take it either."

"you……"

Yu Junfan looked at Gu Ao in front of the bed: "What? Am I wrong? How many days have you fought against Yongchi? Against Yongchi, although his soldiers are tired and the Han soldiers are strong, but he uses them well. Yu Zhe, you have tricked him this time, will he be deceived again and again? Besides, in the future, you will have to fight for the land of the capital, and win the hearts and minds of the people with him. ...Why are you so anxious now? Listen to me today, sleep first, drink the medicine, and whatever plans you have, leave them for tomorrow."

Gu Ao was silent for a while, and said: "Don't worry about me. I'm here. If you take care of me, what will happen? You bring my clothes and go out with me. If you don't go out and have a look, I won't sleep. Practical."

Yu Junfan turned his face sideways and sighed: "So you don't accept a single word of my advice?"

"Admonishment?" Gu Ao was stunned for a moment: "I just treat it as a conversation between you and me."

Yu Junfan said: "Since it's a conversation, it's not an order. If I say I don't take it, there's nothing wrong with it. Go to bed today..." Yu Junfan pulled up the quilt for Gu Ao, the camp couch was narrow, Yu Junfan was sitting on the side of the couch, when a waiter brought the medicine, Yu Junfan took a sip before offering it to Gu Ao, saying: "I have tasted it, it is warm, Not bitter."

Gu Ao drank the medicine helplessly, and smiled wryly: "It's so bitter, you actually said it's not bitter."

Yu Junfan smiled and said: "When I was young, Taishou Lu always said that before feeding me medicine."

Gu Ao sighed when he heard the words, thoughtfully: "Speaking of foster father, I haven't asked Yong Chi for revenge for killing my father."

Yu Junfan said: "If you take care of your body, you will have the strength to fight."

Gu Ao closed his eyes and said: "...Okay...Okay, I'll listen to you, I can't beat you."

Yu Junfan leaned forward and kissed Gu Ao: "Brother Ao, go to sleep, I will accompany you."
