dead in winter

==============

"The sage is benevolent and willing to thoroughly investigate what happened back then. General Wen should be grateful for the emperor's kindness!"

Wen Lian lowered his head and hid his sleeves to wipe away his tears, while Qu Hongqi casually looked at the thin young man standing beside him, slightly sideways

Qu Hongqi frowned. He had never seen the illegitimate son Wen Lian before, but this was the first time he saw him today. It seems that the rumors were not true...

Wen Shu cupped his hands towards Qu Yunqi and coughed a few times in a low voice.

Qu Yunqi nodded and said softly

+++ "Thank you for your hard work, General Xiao Wen!"

"General Qu came from a long distance, it's hard work, the journey is tiring, and my father has been feeling very cold these days, I wonder if I can ask General Qu to hire a carriage on the way?" Wen Shu coughed again, glanced at Wen Lian, hesitating asked

"sure"

+++ "General Wen tidy up, let's set off immediately, it's getting late, the Holy Majesty has been waiting in Beijing for a long time!"

After the three of them finished cleaning up, Wen Shu sighed as they gradually moved away under the numb and envious eyes of the group of people.

"You don't have to worry about others. Your Majesty is a wise monarch. Soon the emperor's list of amnesty will be held. Within half a year, these exiled people will be naturalized again and change their appearance." Qu Yunqi drove the horse to his side

Wen Shu whispered

"Just relax, these people are my confidantes, there is nothing I can't say, when I get to Youzhou, I will arrange people, at that time, you and Yueqing can just change their identities back."

Wen Shu said it well, with lowered eyebrows and eyes showing an indescribable weakness...

Qu Hongqi sighed, not being able to say more, and turned his head to urge his subordinates to hurry up and make sure to get to the next destination before night fell.

"The border is bitterly cold, yellow sand is everywhere, and carriages cannot enter. In a few hours, when we leave the border, we will arrange carriages for you immediately. General Wen, please forgive me."

Wen Lian felt uncomfortable being bumped by the horse's back, but he had to grit his teeth and persevere. The three of them each rode with one of the soldiers. After rushing with all their strength, they finally saw the boundary of Qingshi Town, a small border town in the distance.

Qu Hongqi turned over and got off the horse, and then helped Wen Lian off the horse. While supporting Wen Lian, Qu Hongqi looked sideways at Wen Shu who was dismounting alone not far away.

The young man was thin and raised his hand to refuse the support of the lieutenant general. He was dismounting with difficulty, his thin long legs dangling in mid-air, trembling slightly

Qu Hongqi sneered, and was about to call the soldiers into the store when he suddenly noticed Wen Shu's left hand hanging beside him as if he dared not use force, causing him to dismount very slowly...

Instructed the shopkeeper to ask for a few rooms, and after paying the money, the waiter led the horse into the stable, Qu Hongqi turned to Wen Lian and said,

+++ "General Wen, the guest room has been arranged. I'll go find the carriage tomorrow when the store takes you upstairs. It's getting late. Please rest early. I'll order the waiter to deliver it after eating!"

After Wen Shu sent Wen Lian to the guest room, he went downstairs to look for the waiter in the shop to boil the medicine and bring it up before he entered his room. After a day of hard work, his body and mind finally calmed down.

early morning

Wen Shu and Wen Lian got into the carriage, Qingzhu was in charge of driving, Wen Shu shook his head, suddenly felt a little dizzy, and didn't care

……

Qu Hongqi looked around, and then ordered

After driving for a day, they finally saw a village, and everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Qu Hongqi stepped forward and knocked on the wall of the carriage, saying in a low voice

Qingzhu climbed in, woke Wen Lian up, helped him out, and then went in to call Wen Shu. Qu Hongqi had already communicated with the farmer at this time, and when he saw a cry of exclamation coming from the carriage, he couldn't help being startled, and quickly opened the curtain of the carriage. Qing Zhu cried to Qu Yunqi

Qu Hongqi looked up, his face was condensed

……

Wen Shu felt that something was wrong with him, his whole body was in dire straits, and the pain in his left hand was especially severe, as if someone was cutting his wrist with a knife...

Cut...cut, Wen Shu whimpered in pain, his face was red from burning, but his skin was almost transparent, his lips were dry and cracked, cold sweat flowed from his body continuously, and tears slipped from the corners of his closed eyes, like a thin thread The line disappears in an instant...

Wen Shu murmured again, the volume was so low that no one could hear it, it seemed as if he heard someone talking in his ears, it seemed close but not close, far and not far away, in a blur, Wen Shu fell into a coma again

……

Qu Hongqi opened the door curtain, glanced sideways at the person lying on the bed, and asked the doctor

The old man over sixty stroked his gray beard and sighed deeply

"From my point of view, this young master's illness has been accumulated over the years. Now that he relaxes, the stasis accumulated in his body in the past can't help but come out. The current situation is better.

The old man has prescribed medicine for him, he needs one dose a day, take it later, the symptoms will be relieved a little

++++ Forgive me for my inexperience and inability to diagnose and treat this old man. I also ask the general to take this young man to find a better doctor as soon as possible. Maybe he can live for a few more years. Otherwise, time is running out, alas~"

"You don't need to say much, old man. I understand the situation in general. However, there is one more thing. Can his hand still be connected?"

"This...if it's within three years, the old man has a solution, but I see the injury on the left hand of the young master. It has been nearly five years, and the old man can't heal it. Maybe we can find a cure in the capital."

"This old man has been practicing medicine for decades, and I have never seen a person with such serious injuries as Young Master. The injuries have been long-standing and cannot be cured. There are not only internal injuries but also external injuries. I don't know who can be so ruthless. Sigh."

After Qu Hongqi thanked the old doctor, seeing the old doctor's back sighing three times, he couldn't help taking a breath.
