Chapter 144

When Qiu Min walked outside the tent where Shen Qingling was resting, she happened to hear the doctor ordering Shen Qingling inside.

"Miss, it's okay that your injury is not on your face. If it is later, your heart will be scorched by fire. At that time, even if the holy hand is reborn, there will be nothing you can do."

"The medicine has been prescribed for you right now, you need to meditate and cultivate, and I won't bother you later."

After finishing speaking, the doctor carried the medicine box on his back, and bowed out of the tent with the medicine boy.

Shen Qingling reluctantly propped herself up to sit up, turned her eyes, and saw Qiu Mo who had opened the curtain and came in, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lieutenant General Qiu, for saving your life, the little girl has nothing to repay..."

"No need to talk nonsense." Qiu Po's eyes were extremely sharp, and she looked at her face from Shen Qingling's bare hands, "You talked with the general all day and night, what did you talk about? Why did the Khitan people find it so accurately? Where is the general? Although Jinyun County is not big, it is not such a place to find people."

Facing the little lady who just escaped life and death, Qiu Mo didn't have the slightest pity for her.

In Qiu Mo's heart, Shen Qingling at this moment is the easiest time to be tricked out of the truth, and he doesn't realize that everything so far is just a meticulous game.

Looking up at him, Shen Qingling's eyes were filled with tears, her voice was trembling, and she sounded very pitiful, "Vice General Qiu asked, but Qingling didn't dare to lie. At that time, the general wanted me to deliver a letter to Mr. Xue, But when he opened his mouth, he was very hesitant, obviously worried that the letter would spread to the outside world."

Qiu Min turned a blind eye to Shen Qingling's tears.

He walked to the bed in a few steps, leaned over and looked at Shen Qingling, and said: "If you are lying, I can save you, and naturally I can kill you."

The expression on Shen Qingling's face was distorted, as if she had touched a wound, and after a few hisses, she continued: "At first I also found it strange, if the general was worried that the letter would go out, he could find someone more trustworthy, but the general He didn't want to say too much. He sat facing the blank letter paper for a whole day, and only told me in the middle of the night that he felt that there were spies in Chuyong Pass."

"A spy?" Qiu Min repeated.

"Yes." Shen Qingling nodded, her pupils dilated slightly, as if recalling something, "At that time the general only said that he should be a Khitan spy, there were many, he didn't want to say... It's a pity that the letter he wrote I couldn't save it, otherwise... otherwise..."

When it came to the emotional part, Shen Qingling put her hands on the edge of the bed and couldn't help crying.

Qiu Mo narrowed his eyes, but did not speak.

After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "Tomorrow the army will march out, is Second Lady Shen willing to go west with us? Since the Khitan dare to murder the general on our land, they must be planning an even more terrifying conspiracy .”

As soon as this remark came out, it was said to be a discussion, but Shen Qingling couldn't help but refuse it.

Therefore, Shen Qingling raised her head to look at him, her face twitched a few times, she nodded and said: "Since Vice General Qiu saved my life, then I will naturally do my best for Vice General Qiu."

The members of Di Yun's [-]st Division are no more than a hundred people. Regardless of whether a single group of troops leaves or not, they have the responsibility to leave Jinyun to deal with the aftermath. What's more, the antidote for Tianri Sect has not yet arrived, and Jinyun's crisis has not been completely resolved. .

In this way, Shen Qingling followed Qiu Min and Yang Tu alone on the way out of Yongguan.

Even though Shen Qingling's injuries were not completely healed, the army marched without accommodating at all, marching all the way in a hurry, only occasionally resting for a few hours when passing through supply towns to give Shen Qingling some hot water to drink.

At first, Qiu Min thought that this little lady would make trouble, but she didn't expect that after driving for more than ten days, Shen Qingling didn't say a word, she followed what the soldiers ate and drank, without fussing.

The accompanying soldiers saw that Shen Qingling was beautiful and tough, so they would hide and take care of her when they came and went, and would save meat and soup for her, thinking that she would get better faster.

Yang Tu was also a little surprised.

Although the fire in the government office is enough to show that Shen Qingling's heart is extraordinary, but not everyone can bear the hardship of this hasty march, even he, when he followed Shan Qun at the beginning, he felt uncomfortable for a few days.

The farther the army went northwest, the more depressed the surrounding scenery became.

The weather is hot, and it is not necessarily possible to take a bath after walking a hundred miles all the way.The soldiers didn't care, but Qiu Min's trauma from the fire was starting to itch.

However, looking at Shen Qingling's appearance of not caring at all, Qiu Min didn't want to say anything because of face, and endured the discomfort and went to Licheng.

Licheng is the closest city to Chuyongguan. Qiu Min wanted to camp in Licheng for a day, so he first led a small group of people to sneak into the vicinity of Chuyongguan to inquire. Volley.

"Vice General Qiu, shall I go with you?" Shen Qingling volunteered, "I will never make trouble for you. If there is any accident, you can leave me at any time. I will not have any complaints."

Qiu Min tilted his head to look at her, as if he was trying to figure out the purpose behind Shen Qingling's invitation.

"I want to know why those Khitan assassins wanted to kill me." Shen Qingling caressed the fake wound on her arm, and explained emotionally: "The most important thing for a woman is her skin, they hurt me so much, I have to see them with my own eyes What are you plotting!"

Yang Tu said in a timely manner: "Take her with you. She is the last person the general saw before he died. Maybe she can remember some clues. Let us find the murderer who murdered the general as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Qiu Min nodded without expressing any opinion.

Ten people and ten horses left the gravel city at night, braved the strong night wind, and galloped across the desert until dawn, hoping to reach Chuyong Pass as quickly as possible.

The accident happened at this time.

A group of traveling merchants with a strange accent brushed past Qiubai and the others. After walking for about a hundred meters, the traveling merchants drove the carriage back and stopped in front of Qiubai's horses.

"What do you guys want?" Qiu Mo asked with an unkind expression.

The leader of the traveling merchant was a bearded man with a turban. He laughed twice, got off his horse and saluted, and said, "Looking at your clothes, you should be generals of the imperial court. I have a word of persuasion, and I hope the general will accept it."

This person's accent is a bit like that of the southwest side, but it has nothing to do with Khitan.

"But it's okay to say." Shen Qingling spoke on behalf of Qiumi.

It's a pity that You Shang still looked at Qiu Mian, as if he understood that Qiu Mian was the one talking to this group of people, and only when Qiu Mian nodded, he would continue to talk.

Seeing this, Qiu Mo said, "Speak up, after hearing it, it's not too late to make a decision."

With Qiu Mo's words, Youshang bowed his hands and said: "This is going to the northwest direction, there are hundreds of Khitans looting, if the general can send us across the border, we are willing to pay a thousand gold as a thank you."
