Li Qing ignored Yu Qian and turned around to leave, leaving Yu Qian alone in a daze.
After a night's rest, the army set off again the next day.
Yu Qian was in high spirits after a night's rest, but this energy did not last long and he soon stopped. He suffered from waist pain, back pain... everything hurt; his arms and legs were sore... and he was sore everywhere.
This is just a march, if a fight really breaks out, it must be even more sad... Yu Qian sighed, took the wine bag hanging on the saddle, and tried to take a few sips, but only poured out a few drops.
Smacking his lips, Yu Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head, cheering up and continuing to move forward with the army.
One day, another day...
The skin on the inner thighs was scratched. Before it could grow back, the skin was broken again. As time went by, calluses finally formed and the pain became less severe. Yu Qian gradually adapted to the hard work of marching.
I have lost weight and become darker, but I am more energetic.
…
night.
Li Qing threw a wine bag to Yu Qian, "The decisive battle is not far away, have a good rest."
Yu Qian took it, uncorked the wine and drank heavily.
"Tons, tons, tons..."
"Ha~ so refreshing!"
Yu Qian wiped his mouth and drank most of the bag of wine with a satisfied look on his face.
He had never felt that wine tasted so good before.
"Master Shangshu, do I want to go to the battlefield?" Yu Qian asked.
"Are you okay?" Li Qing teased.
Yu Qian's face heated up and he asked in confusion, "Is it possible that the minister asked the lower official to follow him just to gain experience?"
"Well, it's that simple." Li Qing nodded, "Experience is the most precious wealth. Watch and study hard. I have already told the emperor that when the battle starts, you don't have to go anywhere. Just follow the emperor at the observation tower.
, serving as one of the messengers."
It was a blessing not to have to go to the battlefield, but Yu Qian felt a sense of loss. After these days of marching, he felt that he was no longer the weak scholar with no strength.
"Li Shangshu, your body has become much stronger."
"That's your illusion." Li Qing sneered, "Do you really think that after marching all the way, you can go into battle and kill the enemy? If you go to the battlefield like this, you will not survive for more than half a quarter of an hour."
Yu Qian: "..."
Just as he was about to say a few words of defense, Zhu Zhanji came over. Yu Qian stood up and saluted, "I have met the emperor's grandson."
"No courtesy." Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and looked at Li Qing, "It is estimated that we are only more than two hundred miles away from the Tatar camp. The emperor asked you to go to the commander's camp to deduce the location of the Tatar camp."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Li Qing nodded and rushed to the commander's camp with Zhu Zhanji.
Inside the camp.
Zhu Di held the table and stared at the sand table, frowning and observing the terrain. Several generals, including Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng, Cheng'an Hou Wang Tong, Yangwu Hou Xue Lu, etc., were also frowning at the side, but no one spoke.
They dare not speak easily on such crucial decisions.
"Meet the Emperor." As soon as he entered the camp, Li Qing raised his voice and shouted.
"No courtesy." Zhu Di continued to observe the sand table without raising his head. After a while, he straightened up and said, "Li Qing, come here and take a look."
He pointed to two important places in the sand table, "Which one do you think is the Tatar camp?"
Li Qing took a look and saw that the water and grass were abundant and there were natural dangers to defend. "It's possible to return to the emperor."
Zhu Di was annoyed, "Which one is more likely?"
"This..." Li Qing was not sure, so he had to say, "Seeing is believing. Just look at where the Tatar tribe is stationed."
Zhu Di said angrily: "There are still more than two hundred miles away. The target of the scouts is too big and can be easily exposed."
Li Qing frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I'll go explore alone!"
"You?" Zhu Di said angrily, "Can you do it?"
"Li Qingxing's." Zhu Zhanji said, "He is in good health. I am no match for him."
This grandson is truly a grandson... Li Qing nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry while I take care of things."
Zhu Di thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "Safety comes first. No matter what, we must be back before tomorrow evening."
He understands Li Qing. Although Li Qing is hated by others most of the time, he always does things safely, especially in important matters, and never loses track.
At the same time, he also knew what Li Qing was capable of.
"Ride on my war horse!"
"Okay." Li Qing smiled and nodded.
Zhu Zhanji said: "Grandpa Huang, let me go with Li Qing. One more person will give you more protection."
You will only hold us back... Li Qing slandered.
"You will only be holding me back." Zhu Di scolded, "Just be honest, I won't interrupt you if I dare to run errands without my permission."
After a pause, he looked at Li Qing, "The army can't wait for you forever. You only have one day. You must return before tomorrow night. Be careful all the way."
"I obey the decree."
…
There are stars and a bright moon in the sky.
One man and one horse galloped on the grassland. Li Qing took off his mask and hood, and his thick black hair hung naturally. The cool breeze blew on his cheeks, which was refreshing and refreshing.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The horse gallops, his black hair blows in the wind, Li Qing rides the horse as he pleases, enjoying his 'freedom'.
As Li Qing hurried on, he kept an eye on the terrain to prevent him from straying off course.
After traveling two hundred miles in one night, the horse reached its limit. Li Qing stopped and let the horse eat fresh forage. He took advantage of the break to braid a straw hat and put it on, and took off his official uniform and official boots;
Then, tie the horse in a secret corner and advance on foot instead.
At dawn, Li Qing was running and jumping on the lush grassland. He completely shed his restraints, just like Sun Dasheng left the Five Elements Mountain and had fun with bare feet.
Under the influence of his true energy, his speed is no slower than that of a war horse, and is even slightly faster.
So, half an hour later, he was hungry.
The excessive consumption of energy made his stomach ring incessantly and made him very hungry. It did not affect his body functions, but he felt very uncomfortable.
Li Qing rubbed his belly and said with a wry smile: "I was careless, I didn't bring anything to eat."
He was used to three meals a day, and he was really not used to not eating anything all of a sudden.
I took a look at the map and saw that we were only more than ten miles away from our destination, so there was no time to eat or drink.
~
The rising sun is rising in the east, the golden sunshine is shining on the green grass, and the dew drops are crystal clear. The beauty of nature is vividly interpreted.
Li Qing rolled up his trousers, climbed the hill with bare feet, and looked far into the distance.
In the far distance, the 'white steamed buns' are arranged in an orderly manner, which is very spectacular.
"This should be the right place." Li Qing whispered to himself and continued to observe.
After a while, the figure squirmed. Although it was not clear, it was definitely a human being.
Seeing this, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and completely determined the Tatar tribe's camp.
"It seems that there are a few tents missing." Li Qing frowned slightly and said to himself, "Is the Tatar tribe getting weaker, or are they too far away and the other tents are blocked by the hills?"
After thinking for a while, Li Qing could not think of a reason. Looking at Hai Dongqing hovering above his head, Li Qing was slightly relieved.
This thing is a standard feature of the Yuanren tribe, and it can only be found where the camp is located.
Li Qing didn't bring a bow and arrow, but he didn't care. He was just a beast, and he couldn't speak. He was alone, and he wasn't wearing Ming official uniform. Unless the beast became a spirit, he would never be exposed.
After stretching, Li Qing walked down the hillside and decided to bring the news back first.
No matter what, the Tatars are indeed here, and it would not be wrong to come and attack them.
There was still plenty of time, so Li Qing hummed a song and walked slowly back to the place where the horse was tied.
“Crossed a mountain, crossed a bend;
Flirting the white clouds and blue sky;
Looking at Pingchuan striding towards..." Li Qing suddenly stopped.
As soon as they crossed a bend, they met the Yuan people. There were not many of them, only forty or fifty riders.
The distance between the two parties was very close, only a few dozen meters. The other party had already discovered him and came quickly on horseback.
It's over... Li Qing's mind raced. It's not impossible to fight, but the problem is that these people are all on horseback, so they can't annihilate them all, and taking action is almost equivalent to being exposed.
Before Li Qing could think about it, the Yuan people were already approaching.
“@#￥…”
Li Qing looked confused. He didn't understand it at all, but he understood the meaning of the words. He probably asked where he came from.
There are some differences in appearance between Han people and Yuan people, especially Li Qing's face, which is like a crown jewel and does not look like someone who has been exposed to wind and sun all day long.
"@#￥%&*..." Yuan Ren asked again.
"@#￥%..." Li Qing chirped a lot.
Now the exchangers were confused, they couldn't understand it at all.
It's okay if you don't understand. Li Qing himself doesn't know what he is talking about.
Taking advantage of Yuan Ren's confusion, he took a deep breath and ran away.
The reason why he didn't grab the horse was that, in a full-scale explosion, he could run faster than the horse; and second, it was not easy to avoid arrows while riding a horse.
The people of the Yuan Dynasty were all shocked, and immediately laughed out loud, with a mocking look on their faces, and chased after him wildly.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!"
Li Qing's eyes were wide open and his ears were listening in all directions. It was as if there were eyes on his back. He was darting around, avoiding all the arrows, and his speed did not slow down.
Damn it, this is too much...Li Qing cursed and ran away like a child.
The strange thing is that after the round of arrows, Yuan Ren did not shoot again, but just chased him desperately, but Li Qing couldn't care less. With the full burst of zhenqi, there was wind at his feet.
In less than two-quarters of an hour, Li Qing got rid of his pursuers, but his speed did not slow down and he continued to run wildly.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Li Qing came to the place where the horse was tied. Fortunately, the horse was still there, grazing leisurely.
Li Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, put on his official uniform and shoes, got on his horse, put on his mask and hood, and started galloping.
He didn't know if the Ming army had been exposed, so he could only prepare for the worst, send the news back as soon as possible, and then lead his army to kill him.
…
"Grand Master, why didn't you shoot that man with an arrow?" General Yiyuanren asked puzzledly, "That man's whereabouts are suspicious. Although we have detected the situation for hundreds of miles nearby, we cannot rule out that Ming Dynasty will be stationed further away.
"
"How is this possible, how is this possible..." Arutai murmured to himself, not listening to his subordinate's words at all, with shock written all over his face.
"Grand Master...what's wrong with you?"
The Yuanren general was very surprised. This was the first time he saw the grand master showing such an expression.
After calling several times in succession, Arutai finally came back to his senses.
He tightened the reins and said decisively: "Let's go back quickly."
Having said that, no matter how his subordinates reacted, they jumped on the horse and ran away.
