Half an hour later, Doctor He opened the door with a dark expression on his face.
He pointed at the door and waved to the two of them, his voice seemed to be a little irritated;
"You guys go in! I've already applied medicine to his wounds. After three or two days of rest, the bruises on his body will disappear automatically. I'll take my leave..."
Seeing that the other party wanted to walk away with his legs up, Zhang Han immediately took a step forward and asked cautiously;
"Um... can his trick still be used? Otherwise, the reproduction of future generations will be a big problem."
"What did you say?" Doctor He was stunned for a moment when asked, and almost didn't react. Then Zhang Han explained with a dumbfounded look;
"What the hell! Don't think too much. This patient is just... Oh, don't worry. His descendants are not hurt at all, and they won't be delayed from spreading their branches and leaves."
Hear this!
Zhang Han and Li Xiaohu both breathed a sigh of relief. After Zhang Han thanked Dr. He again, he ordered Li Xiaohu to follow him back to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
When the two of them left, Zhang Han and Li Xiaohu still heard Dr. He's cryptic mutterings; "It's strange~ He's still a soldier! Isn't it just a medicine that makes him bray even more miserably than a donkey...!" After saying that, Doctor He shook his head with disdain, his contempt was palpable.
Li Xiaohu covered his mouth with joy after hearing what Dr. He said! He secretly said that he had caught this kid, and he had to... Zhang Han had a dark look on his face when he heard it. It was so funny that he didn't even sleep. He just felt that Wang Danian was really embarrassing to him!
After Li Xiaohu and the others came down the stairs, Zhang Han pushed open the door and went straight into the room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Danian looking at the roof silently and breathing heavily.
He may not know it yet, because he was injured this time and was defeated by three kinds of beasts: wolf, sheep and donkey in one day.
"As for that! Look at how helpless you are." Seeing this, Zhang Han said with a dark face and contempt.
"But it hurts so much...!"
Wang Danian may also feel embarrassed, and his voice sounds like a mosquito.
"Just have a good rest, I'll get you something to eat."
Zhang Han got even darker when he saw his ghostly appearance, fearing that he couldn't help but step forward and kick this guy in the face. He quickly took two deep breaths of oxygen to suppress the anger in his heart.
After saying a few words, he was ready to close the door and go out.
"Thank you Baihu!" Wang Danian's voice of thanks came from behind.
Zhang Han paused, and the anger in his heart disappeared inexplicably. He hummed, his voice softening slightly.
Then he gently closed the door and walked towards the stairs.
...
Time flies
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
It has been ten days since Zhang Han and his party left Yanmen Pass.
The long journey made the group of them look dusty and a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, in order to make friends with Zhang Han, the guard of Yanmenguan King prepared a lot of dry food for them when they left, otherwise they would have run out of food when they crossed the desert and entered the Mobei grassland.
It seems that Wang Shoubei has done a good thing. At least he has solved the big problem of hungry people in Zhang Han, otherwise they might have suffered a lot.
Zhang Han has already made plans. Next time he meets this cheap, bureaucratic brother, he will definitely thank him. He is such a good person! It seems that I, Lao Zhang, have misunderstood you, brother...
~~
Zhang Han and the others led their horses and walked slowly on the vast prairie. They drove for a long time. They had long lost the excitement they had when they first entered the prairie, facing the vast sky and high mountains, and galloping their horses wildly.
The winter in the Mobei grassland is colder than that in the Central Plains. The whistling cold wind kept blowing into everyone's clothes. Wang Danian subconsciously stretched out his hand to tighten his open collar and said.
"Orado. You were born in the prairie, so you should know where the Khan Court is. Look, we have walked hundreds of miles out of the desert, why haven't we seen the Khan Court yet?"
Orado pursed her dry lips, held the horse's reins with one hand, and held the brim of her hat tightly with the other hand to shield her from the cold wind. When Danian asked, he smiled and said;
"We're almost there. Have you seen that wide river? That's the Onan River.
If you keep walking north along the river, you can see where the king's tent is..."
"How far is that?"
The whistling coldness carried Wang Danian's words to everyone's ears, and everyone strained their ears to listen to Orado's answer.
Because Orado originally lived in the grassland, he was robbed by horse bandits and then sold to the Han Dynasty before being rescued by Zhang Han and others.
After knowing that Zhang Han and the others were going to the Mongolian Khan's court, Orado took the initiative to take over the role of guide on himself. So the only one in the team who knew the terrain was this little girl.
Then Orado's words spread to everyone's ears along with the wind.
"It's not far away. Do you see the mountain in front of us? We can see the sweat tent after climbing over that mountain."
Looking at the mountains in the distance, Wang Danian felt that they were only a few dozen miles away. Then he got on the horse first and slapped the horse's butt hard. The horse immediately neighed and ran towards the mountain with four hooves. Before leaving, he turned around and shouted to Zhang Han.
"Hundred households, I will explore the way for everyone first."
When Li Xiaohu saw Wang Danian running out first, he eagerly asked, "Baihu, I'm going to check on Danian. If I can't keep him safe, what happens?"
Haven't these two guys heard of Wangshan running to death?
The mountains in front seemed very close, as if they were only a few dozen miles away. But Zhang Han speculated that it would take at least a day to reach the foot of the mountain.
But then he took a look and saw that all the subordinates around him were curled up on their horses in an awkward manner due to the cold. His mind was spinning, and he shouted to everyone;
"Let's do that. Let's go there together. It's so cold and it's a good time to run and warm up."
"Very good!"
"This damn weather has turned me into a quail from the cold. Hundreds of wise families...!" The subordinates agreed one after another.
Everyone is freezing due to the spooky weather in Mobei! Because they were carrying few supplies and needed to save horsepower, no one dared to rush off in the past few days. Now we are almost at our destination, and everyone has long wanted to move around.
Therefore, Zhang Han's suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone.
As expected by Zhang Han, after everyone ran for half an hour, they saw that Danian, who was the first to run out, had stopped and waited in front.
"Conquer..."
When Zhang Han ran dozens of meters away from him, he immediately pulled the reins of his horse. The war horse slowly slowed down until it stopped next to the big year.
Zhang Han laughed and joked to Danian, who had been waiting for a long time: "Why did you stop? This place is still far away from the mountain in front...! Come on, let's run a little further while your body is warmer now."
But at this time, Wang Danian still had the energy to lead the way just now. After hearing this, he touched the horse's mane with his head drooped and said depressedly;
"Just now I looked at the mountain, which is only a small distance away. I've already traveled forty or fifty miles, so why does it feel like it's getting further and further away?
If you keep running like this, when will it end! We can hold on, but it hasn't eaten well during this period. "
At this time, a soldier in his forties also interjected: "That's right, Baihu. The horsepower has indeed dropped significantly. Could it be that we encountered a ghost and hit a wall?"
"Ghost hits the wall?"
After hearing this, some soldiers suddenly became suspicious.
"Tsk, a ghost hitting a wall? Have you ever seen a ghost? It's just a horse running to death at Wangshan Mountain." Zhang Han said disdainfully after hearing this.
"Baihu, what do you mean by running to death in Wangshan?"
"Wangshan is like running to death..."
"Baihu, what do you think that is? It seems like someone is coming." Zhang Han was about to explain what it means to watch the mountain to death, and he was also going to explain this briskness with the story of looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst. Suddenly I heard Li Xiaohu shouting.
"What?"
Zhang Han quickly followed the direction of Li Xiaohu's finger. Sure enough, there was a string of black spots running towards him. When the black spot got closer, Zhang Han saw clearly that it was a group of people riding war horses and charging towards him.
Zhang Han suddenly changed his face and couldn't care less about chatting with his subordinates.
He immediately turned his horse's head and gave a hurried and loud order to the people behind him;
"Someone is coming towards us, everyone mounts up and forms a formation, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Ta-ta...ta-ta..." Zhang Han urged while riding his horse in a circle around the soldiers.
Fortunately, these people were not new recruits. After a slight panic, they immediately formed a row and dispersed, with their horses' heads facing the direction of the coming person.
After everyone finished forming the formation, Zhang Han immediately rode his horse from the gap in the formation to the front of the formation. He looked at the strange cavalry who were getting closer and closer to him, turned his horse's head and shouted to the soldiers on his side: "Everyone, please unstring your arrows and listen to my orders!"
"No!" The neat voice sounded like one person. Then the sound of bows and arrows being strung reached Zhang Han's ears.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Zhang Han nodded, turned around, narrowed his eyes, and began to watch the person in the distance closely. Unconsciously, his hand grasped the handle of the knife tightly in his crotch, and the tips of his upper teeth bit his lower lip, just like a cheetah about to hunt.
Closer, closer!
After a while, the outline of the person coming could be seen clearly. Zhang Han counted that the number of people on the other side was about twice as many as his own.
Although the other party’s tall felt hat and gray leather robe looked like traditional Mongolian clothing. But Zhang Han's heart still hasn't relaxed, because it's still unclear whether he is an enemy or a friend!
1000 meters, 500 meters, 100 meters.
Then the neighing of war horses reached the ears of Zhang Han and his group.
This group of people quickly stopped steadily about a hundred meters away. His movements were very crisp and clean, and he looked like he was no ordinary herdsman, but a horse bandit. Instead, it looks like a regular cavalry.
What's unusual is that the leader of the other party is actually dressed like a woman.
In ancient times, although it was rare for women to join the army, it was extremely rare. On the contrary, it was not uncommon for female bandits to have their necks. So Zhang Han still held the handle of the knife and did not dare to take it lightly.
Zhang Han looked at the woman in front of him with burning eyes.
She was seen riding a maroon little mare, wearing a red felt hat with white fluff around it, and she was wrapped in a thick one-piece leather robe. But for some reason, his face was obscured by a black silk scarf, leaving only a pair of red eyes that made people look at him.
But at this moment, Zhang Han was not in the mood to sigh about the red eyes. After glancing at the men facing the menacing men, Zhang Han tightened his grip on the handle of the knife in his hand.
At this time, the opponent was still aiming his bow and arrow at his side.
The north wind was still blowing, and the weather was still so cold, but the air between the two sides was like a bag of explosives filled with gunpowder that could be ignited at any time.
Under the influence of the increasingly tense atmosphere, even the war horses on both sides seemed to be frightened by the murderous intention and began to kick uneasily.
Gradually, steaming beads of sweat began to appear on the foreheads of everyone on both sides involuntarily, and the strings between the two sides had collapsed to their tightest point.
suddenly! Zhang Han saw that the female leader of the other side opened her mouth and shouted something to the person next to her. The wind was too strong and they couldn't hear clearly.
Just when Zhang Han was about to give the order to fight, she saw a tall Mongolian cavalry beside her nodded, ran out of the opponent's formation, and came towards her own side.
~~
"Stop whoever comes!"
When the man was 30 meters away from Zhang Han and within shooting range, Zhang Han shouted loudly.
"Xu..." Hearing this! The man skillfully held the reins of the horse, and the horse raised its front hooves high and stopped steadily.
"Good riding skills!" Zhang Han couldn't help but admired.
"Who are you? Why do you want to break into the pasture of the royal court? Aren't you afraid of the punishment of the great Ogedai Khan?"
After the man stopped, he immediately shouted sharply at Zhang Han and his group not far away!
From the tone of the other party, it sounds like he is from the royal court?
Zhang Han immediately raised his right hand high, signaling to his subordinates to put away their short bows. He got up and trotted towards the opponent.
After the man asked, he saw that the leader of the other party asked his men to take back their bows and arrows and then came towards him alone. He began to stare straight at Zhang Han, who was slowly approaching him.
He was not worried about the conspiracy the other party dared to play. The tens of thousands of timid Xue troops wandering around the royal court were not just decorations and could crush any invading enemy.
Zhang Han didn't stop slowly until the two were four or five meters apart.
Be the first to ask;
"A certain person from ten thousand households in Han Dynasty was an official from one hundred households under Tianze's command. He was ordered to send the body of the Emperor of Jin to be presented to Ogedai Khan. Who are you, and why are you blocking our way? '
The man couldn't help but look Zhang Han up and down. Seeing that his face did look like a Han man, he nodded.
"You said you are one of Shi Tianze's subordinates, do you have any evidence?"
Zhang Han was stunned when he heard this, and his mind immediately changed. Shouldn’t the average person’s focus be on the Emperor of Jin? Why does this person care about his own identity? Could it be...
"Zhang is indeed working under Shi Wanhu. This is a letter written by Shi Wanhu to Marshal Subotai, which can prove my identity." Zhang Han took out a letter from his arms and waved it towards the other party.
"Oh? A letter to my father?" The man looked at the envelope in Zhang Han's hand in surprise and said.
Zhang Han was also stunned, "What did you say? Your father. Is your father Subotai Marshal?"
At the mention of his father's name, the man straightened his chest unconsciously and said with a stinking look on his face, "Yes, that is the eldest son of Marshal Subotai - Uryang Hatai!"
"Damn it, this is Subotai's son! Isn't it just to mention your father? Is there such a huge contrast between the front and back? Isn't this Subotai's son a joke?"
Zhang Han looked at the other party's stinking look and thought secretly.
