Chapter 497: Good medicine tastes bitter
Gao Qian was about to say more, but he saw someone driving a horse, one after another, coming this way.
"Your Majesty."
It is Wang Tingyue and Xiao Wu.
Gao Qian’s raised hand fell back to its original position calmly.
Liang Huan didn't notice. He lowered his head and took out a small bottle from his pouch, poured out a few brown pills and put them into Gao Qian's hand.
Gao Qian looked at the pill in his palm. This new pill was extremely unpalatable.
Liang Huan knew it as soon as he looked at his expression and said: "Mr. Chen's medical skills are great. This is a newly improved prescription that we have tried several times in the past few days. The effect should be very good, but the taste is really good." ——But good medicine tastes bitter."
Gao Qian looked at her suspiciously and chuckled: "Even if it can be made delicious, you are not willing to do it."
It hit the nail on the head.
Liang Huan nodded and said calmly: "Yes, so you don't have to choose."
After that, she ignored him and stood up to meet Wang Tingyue.
Gao Qian looked at the pills in his hand, then at Liang Huan, feeling melancholy but helpless. He slowly lowered his eyes, smiled silently, and then put each pill in his mouth and swallowed it.
Good medicine tastes bitter...
Whether it is bitter or sweet can only be known by contrast.
So, it’s not hard.
Wang Tingyue's body has not recovered yet, and his face is slightly pale as he keeps going back and forth.
Liang Han approached: "Speak slowly."
Wang Tingyue looked solemn, but he didn't know how to speak.
Liang Huan felt heavy when she saw him like this.
Gao Qian raised his eyebrows and glanced, as if he had expected it.
"It doesn't matter, let's talk."
Wang Tingyue said: "There are traces of fighting in the valley ahead. I and Xiao Wu went to investigate and found many corpses on the river beach."
Liang Huan was surprised: "Corpse? Could it be that General Pei..."
Wang Tingyue shook his head and said: "I didn't see General Pei. They were dressed in cloth and their faces were all ruined. Although they couldn't tell their appearance, , but I carefully inspected their hands and feet, as well as the old injuries on their bodies. It can be seen that they are not ordinary people, but indeed people marching and fighting. They are likely to come to support us. General Pei has a leg injury, and no injuries were found among the dead. Legs, in addition to the bodies of several men in black——"
At this point, he stopped, looked at Liang Huan, and took out a small piece of rag from his arms.
Liang Huan frowned.
This is it?
When she saw the small emblem embroidered on it clearly, her eyes shrank, it was clearly Zhou...
Liang Huan shook his head and denied it very firmly: "It's impossible, he didn't It’s necessary.”
Gao Qian frowned and thought, but said nothing.
Wang Tingyue looked at Liang Huan's firm gaze and nodded: "I don't think so. Since it's not him, it might be someone else. After all, it's really hard to explain to Lord Zhou if we let us go like this. They may have concerns and cannot attack us directly, but at least they can force us to go back...
Of course, this is just my guess when the men in black are Zhou people. Are they actually Zhou people? , it’s hard to say, maybe it was disguised by someone with ulterior motives. It’s hard to make a conclusion easily before it is found out.
It would be great if there are survivors.”
Wang Tingyue briefly said. He thought again: "However, compared to the truth, I believe that the most urgent priority is for your Majesty to leave here as soon as possible. Until we find out where the man in black came from, our current situation is not safe."
Liang Huan also understood in his heart.
Maybe the men in black have discovered their whereabouts.
Gao Qian stood up and said, "Let's go."
Qian Ming, who was leaning in front of the carriage, saw this and hurriedly ran over and helped Gao Qian get into the carriage.
Qian Ming is responsible for driving the carriage.
In the car, Gao Qian rested against the soft cushions with his eyes closed.
Liang Huan was leaning against the window, holding a map in his hand, looking at the map for a while and then looking out the window.
It's not that they don't want to go around, it's because the river valley is the only way to go. Not only carriages can't pass other places, but even horses can't go there.
Not long after the trip, I saw the river valley that Wang Tingyue mentioned. The river valley road is difficult to walk, full of large and small stones.
The carriage was swaying.
We continued walking along the gravel road and arrived at a river beach. There were many bloody corpses lying on the river beach. They were beyond recognition and their death conditions were extremely tragic.
Liang Huan was frightened, and she felt chills running down her spine just by looking at him from a distance.
Who did it? The method is so vicious!
"General! There seems to be someone over there!"
Suddenly, Xiao Wu, who was riding on the horse, let out a low cry.
Liang Han put down the map, stuck his head out of the window, and looked in the direction of his finger.
Gao Qian also opened his eyes and pursed his lips tightly.
At this time, I just hope that the people I encounter are friends rather than enemies.
The carriage stopped.
With Wang Tingyue's permission, Xiao Wu jumped off his horse and went straight into the grass.
Just now he could see clearly on the horse that the grass here was moving. Now that he was getting closer, he saw that there was indeed a person lying down, but he was motionless.
Under half cover, it is difficult to distinguish friend from enemy.
Xiao Wu took out the short knife in his arms and stepped forward holding the knife.
Just as he took a step with his right foot, the man in the grass suddenly jumped up and raised his hand to slash down on his face.
Xiao Wu narrowly avoided it, swung his left hand, and the blade on his right hand was about to plunge into the man.
“Xiao Wu?”
The man shouted, as if he couldn’t believe it.
Xiao Wu took a closer look and hurriedly retracted the knife: "Sun Hu! Why are you here?"
Sun Hu was injured, and Xiao Wu pinned his arm, and he groaned in pain. Call.
Xiao Wu quickly let go of his hand, a little embarrassed: "Why are you hiding here so secretly? If I hadn't stopped in time, you would have died!"
While he was talking, Wang Tingyue also came over.
"What's going on?"
Seeing Wang Tingyue, Sun Hu bowed his head and saluted: "General, it was General Pei who sent us to take care of him. But when we were resting here last night, unexpectedly, But I was attacked by men in black. Those men in black were very skilled in martial arts, and we were no match for them. I passed out later. Maybe it was dark and grassy, but I was lucky enough to escape."
Wang Tingyue frowned. Staring at him, there were indeed several injuries all over his body.
"Why didn't you come out when we came just now?"
Sun Hu touched his nose and explained with shame: "Just now I heard someone seemed to be there. At that time, I was still in a daze, and I was afraid that it was someone in black. People go and come back, so when they hear the footsteps, they dare not get up to check..."
He was talking, breathing in, and the pain was unbearable.
Xiao Wu supported him and said to Wang Tingyue: "General, let's get out of here quickly!"
As he said that, he walked out of the grass.
Wang Tingyue fell behind and looked down at the traces left on the ground.
Liang Huan had already jumped off the carriage and was waiting by the roadside when he saw Sun Hu and frowned.
"Where is Pei Yao?"
Sun Hu reluctantly saluted and said: "General Pei has to pacify the wounded soldiers and civilians, but he really can't get away, so he can only send us here, but there is no way. Thinking of..."
He lowered his head and choked with sobs.
Liang Huan: "You have fought with them, do you know who did it?"
Sun Hu frowned and thought for a while: "I don't know, I just heard their accents don't sound like Qi people, but they do. It seems like someone from Zhou, but I’m not sure.”
“People from Zhou?” Liang Huan nodded and stared at him: “Did you hear what they said?”
Sun Hu slowly shook his head and paused.
