Qing Jialu

At the end of July in the tenth year of Qingjia, the emperor led his army to the border town.

Xining City stands on the northwestern border of Daliang as before. After a war, its ancient city wall has cracks, and the mottled red city gate is even more messy.The soldiers below the city are moving bricks, tiles and soil, and are rushing to build the city wall.

Stepping into this land again, Xiao Yi was filled with emotions.Wearing armor, he calmly boarded the tower and looked into the distance.In the north of Xining, there is a vast and desolate grassland.As the sun sets, the grassland seems to turn into a golden ocean, and the golden color spreads to the horizon...

"Your Majesty." A man saluted the emperor, interrupting his train of thought.

The one who came was Wei Mo.

"You are here." Xiao Yi turned his head to look at his friend. He hadn't seen much weight loss in a few months, and he sighed, "My condolences will change."

Speaking of Old General Wei, Wei Mo's eyes suddenly darkened a lot, "Sometimes I think, maybe I really beat my father and my mother."

"Do not say that."

"When I was not at home, Daddy lived very well." Wei Mo said with some self-blame, "After I returned to the northwest, he was killed by a small arrow wound. Tell me, am I Shouldn't you be coming back?"

Xiao Yi patted his friend on the shoulder, "No, your father wants you to go home, and he recognizes you."

"Yes, the only luck is that I finally met him, otherwise I will carry this regret for the rest of my life."

"Didn't you disbelieve in fate before?" Xiao Yi asked, "We have to look forward to everything. We have to avenge Old General Wei."

For Wei Mo, it is no longer just helping Ouyang Xing, the second prince of Xiou, seize the throne.Ouyang Yu provoked the Daliang border, which was a national enmity.Killing Old General Wei is a family grudge.

This battle with Ouyang Yu had to be fought.

"I won't let Ouyang Yu go, thank you for coming to help me." Wei Mo shifted his gaze to Xiao Yi's leg, "I didn't expect you to rush over so soon. When will your leg get better? Not only did you get rid of the crutch Now, you can still ride a horse?"

"Dr. Fan is here, he helped me recuperate, and I can barely walk and move." Xiao Yi was vague and didn't want to tell Wei Mo about the pills.

Wei Mo circled around Xiao Yi and said in amazement, "Doctor Fan is worthy of being a miracle doctor, so your legs are completely healed?"

"It's only by taking medicine that I have some strength, and now I still can't stand for a long time." Xiao Yi didn't say anything dead, now he is supported by pills, and once he runs out of medicine, he will be beaten back to his original shape.

"So that's the case, then you should sit at the back and don't get tired. By the way, Shen Jia, didn't he stop you?" Wei Mo asked again.

Xiao Yi said indifferently: "He can't stop me."

"I know your illness can't stand the pain, but apart from you, I have no one I can trust." Wei Mo apologized, "His Majesty's expedition, Shen Jia must have hated me even more."

"I thought you believed him." Xiao Yi looked at Wei Mo, and the two of them knew who the "he" was referring to.

"Your Majesty, on the battlefield, how dare I trust outsiders?" Wei Mo said, "Besides, you said that man was cunning, I'm afraid he will betray us again."

It only takes one betrayal to break trust, and they can't guarantee Ouyang Xing's character now.

"Where's your elder brother?" Xiao Yi asked again.

"After my father was buried, I drove him back to Jincheng." Wei Mo said indifferently, "Fortunately, with you in Xining, I'm not afraid of him making trouble for me in Jincheng."

"I heard that you beat your elder brother?" Xiao Yi frowned, "You two brothers, have you reached this point?"

"If he doesn't provoke me, I won't provoke him." Wei Mo became angry when he mentioned his elder brother, "He will compete with me for the position of head of the family as soon as he comes up, so don't blame me for disregarding brotherhood."

"When this battle is over, I will transfer him to the southeast." Xiao Yi said tentatively, "Separate the two of you and let him go to practice under General Xie, and he will train the Tianjin Navy for me in the future."

"What about me?" Wei Mo was stunned for a moment, "You want to keep me here?"

"Of course." Xiao Yi said with a smile, "If the Patriarch of the Wei family is not staying in the northwest, where is he going?"

From then on, Wei Mo was regarded as the real master of the Wei family army, and he was the rightful head of the Wei family.

At the same time, in the capital cabinet.

Shen Jia sat on the position of the first assistant, buried in the paperwork, without saying a word.

It has been less than half a month since Xiao Yi set off for the expedition. During this period of time, apart from sleeping and eating, he devoted himself to his official duties.He didn't dare to stop, so he could only paralyze himself with cumbersome government affairs.He was afraid that as soon as he stopped, Xiao Yi's shadow would be in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.

He was worried about whether Xiao Yu's body could support it, and he was worried about whether Xiao Yu's legs could bear it.Recalling Xiao Yi's demeanor on horseback, Shen Jia frowned.

Doctor Fan clearly said that fighting on horseback is very difficult.He didn't know what method Xiao Yi used to restore his legs to normal and show off his glory again.

But Shen Jia understands that there are gains and losses, and that the legs can move freely, and there will definitely be a price to pay.But Shen Jia hated herself for being incompetent, so she could only stay in the capital and wait for the military report ahead, unable to help anything.

Shen Jia guessed right, Xiao Yi's leg pain was not cured, but suppressed by medicine.Walking, running, and even horseback riding are possible in the morning, but at night, the pain begins.

Outside His Majesty's military tent, there are layers of guards guarding it.However, in the military tent, there are only His Majesty and Doctor Fan.Every time the moon rises to the top of the branch, backlash will come.

Doctor Fan tied His Majesty's hands and feet tightly with ropes, with a look of unbearable expression in his eyes.It has been half a month, and he is by His Majesty's side every day, tying him up to prevent him from hurting himself.The pain of backlash is more severe than imagined, Xiao Yi will fall into chaos, hit his head and self-mutilate with his hands, unable to control himself.

At the beginning, Xiao Yi's symptoms were relatively mild, and he was still a little sane, so he didn't really hurt himself.After a while, Xiao Yi proposed to Dr. Fan to tie himself with a rope, and cleared out the idlers, not wanting them to hear the movement in the tent.

With the accumulation of medicinal properties in the body, the symptoms of backlash become more and more serious.In the end, not only the hands and feet had to be tied, but also a cloth strip was stuffed in the mouth.Seeing His Majesty in such pain, Dr. Fan couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to persuade him not to take medicine.But Xiao Yi was worried that the marching speed would be slowed down, so he insisted on taking the medicine.

Today, they finally arrived in Xining, and this pain can end.Tonight is the last backlash.

Dr. Fan held the rope and gestured on His Majesty's wrist, but Xiao Yi's wrist was covered with strangle marks, red and swollen, and some places were even worn out. He really couldn't do anything.Although he applied medicine to His Majesty's wrists and ankles during the day, the torture every night caused the wound to rub repeatedly, and it couldn't heal.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi comforted: "Doctor Fan, you can tie it up casually, it's just a little scratch, it's fine."

"Yes." Dr. Fan sighed, tied Xiao Yi up, and advised him, "Your Majesty, starting tomorrow, don't take any medicine. There is still no movement in Xiou, so you can take a rest."

"If I don't take the medicine, will I be unable to walk?" Xiao Yi asked weakly, "In the future, can I only rely on a wheelchair?"

"No, this medicine will not cause any permanent damage to your legs except for the unbearable pain when it bites back." Doctor Fan replied, "Your Majesty, how your legs and feet were when you left the capital is still the same now."

"Okay, then stop taking the medicine." Xiao Yi also knew in his heart that there was not much left of the powder made from that one pill, and now he could only take it again at a critical moment.

When the moon rose to the sky, Doctor Fan knew that the time for backlash had come.He looked at Xiao Yi who was tied tightly on the bed, turned his back silently, and couldn't bear to look any further.

No one would know that His Majesty, who looked majestic, had scars from rope abrasions all over his wrists and ankles.No one would know that His Majesty could not sleep peacefully every night and endured inhuman torture.

Not long after, there was a slight groan in his ear.Although he had already gagged his mouth with cotton cloth to prevent Xiao Yi from biting his tongue when the pain was unbearable, he still couldn't stop the faint cry of pain.

That kind of pain is unbearable for ordinary people, it's like being stabbed by a knife, cutting the flesh and blood piece by piece; it's also like smashing all the bones in the whole body with a heavy hammer.Doctor Fan thought about using anesthesia powder to resist backlash, but Xiao Yi refused.That would put him in a coma for a long time and delay the march even more.

The only good thing is that the backlash won't last too long, and it will stop after an hour.Doctor Fan counted the time silently, feeling that the days seemed like years.

An hour later, Xiao Yi's clothes were completely wet, and he was lying on the bed exhausted, and he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.Doctor Fan hurriedly untied him, and felt his pulse again.Fortunately, the pulse condition is stable, and this test has been passed.

Doctor Fan wiped off his cold sweat for him, changed his clothes, and left.However, Dr. Fan couldn't rest, he still had to boil the life-saving soup for His Majesty, and serve it to Xiao Yi tomorrow morning.

This disease is a huge test for patients and doctors.
