The Lord's Hall was silent.
Zhang Qi folded his hands on his chest and leaned against the pillar without saying a word.
Hu Ling's hands didn't stop at all, and she stitched the wound on Hu Er's chest bit by bit while threading the needle and threading.
Her blood-stained hands took the scissors and cut the thread. Hu Ling once again used alcohol to clean Hu Er's wounds. The scratches on his chest, arms, and everywhere were carefully wiped by Hu Ling with a cloth, and then he poured it on Lu Mu. of gold sore medicine, tied with steamed linen cloth.
The bleeding stopped, and the rest depends on Hu Er's own resistance. There is no rabies vaccine in this era, so we can only hope that the physique of ancient people is stronger than that of modern people.
Zhang Qi sighed, put down his hands, and walked to Hu Er's side.
The pain of pure alcohol disinfection was unimaginable, and Hu Er had already fallen asleep at this moment.
Zhang Qi stepped forward and touched his forehead, which felt cold.
Turning to Hu Ling, who was sorting out the bloody cloth on the floor, she said, "Find someone to take him down, observe him at all times, and wipe his forehead with alcohol if there are symptoms of fever."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Hu Ling knows what to do."
Hu Ling spoke softly, as if she was afraid of waking up the sleeping Hu Er.
Zhang Qi waved his hand, and Hu Ling packed up the filth on the floor and walked out.
Looking at Hu Er on the bed, Zhang Qi didn't know what to say for a moment.
The hall fell silent again. After a while, several people came over and carefully carried Hu Er out on a stretcher.
"Out of sight, out of mind, let's leave first."
After a long silence, Zhang Qi closed his eyes and left the world of riding and slashing.
——
In the forest.
Zhang Qi's figure appeared again.
The cross-country horse came forward affectionately and bumped his chest with its head. Zhang Qi smiled and saw the tiger corpse on the ground. He stepped forward and moved it onto the back of the cross-country horse, using all the strength of nine cattle and two tigers.
After getting on his horse, Zhang Qi shouted and the two horses accelerated towards the pasture.
Cack-clack, clack-clack.
The horse's hooves stepped on the ground rhythmically, and Zhang Qi's eyes suddenly became clear. The blue sky and white clouds replaced the flat woods.
"Danghu!"
Two horses entered the pasture area. At this time, Hu Shui and others came over for inspection and saw a tiger corpse on Zhang Qi's horse. He quickly led people to surround it.
"Danghu!"
"I've seen Danghu!"
The hundreds of cavalrymen who patrolled the pasture with him saluted one after another. Zhang Qi had no intention of responding and only nodded slightly.
Hu Shui didn't see Hu Er, and there was a flash of worry in his eyes. However, seeing that Zhang Qi was not very interested, he didn't ask any more questions, and just escorted Zhang Qi back to the grassland camp.
"Somebody come!"
Zhang Qi shouted before he could get off his horse.
Two female soldiers ran over. The cross-country horse slowed down but did not stop completely. Zhang Qi dismounted directly with smooth movements.
"Skin the tiger carcass, remove its bones, and present it to King Xianbei!"
Zhang Qi looked at the tiger corpse on horseback with angry eyes and said fiercely. The female soldiers looked at each other and were secretly frightened. This was the first time they saw Zhang Qi with such an angry expression.
Not daring to say anything, they all responded: "No!"
Zhang Qi walked into his yurt without looking back. He didn't want to think about anything now, he just waited for his army to arrive.
——
night.
Xianbei Royal Court.
"Hahaha, you are indeed the warrior that I have chosen. This bravery is truly unmatched by anyone!
Looking at the gaps in the tiger skin, each one seems to be pierced in front of my eyes. Hahaha, I will accept this tiger skin. Come, go to my treasure house to pick out a few decent treasures to give away. Go to his long-term pasture!"
In the royal court, King Xianbei laughed loudly and showed off to the people present the gift sent by Zhang Qi, the skin of the colorful tiger.
Although it has not yet been tanned, the bloody fresh tiger skin is even more exciting.
Now the King of Xianbei was completely at ease with Zhang Qi. There were cattle and sheep, armor and wine, and now the newly hunted tiger skins all showed that Zhang Qi was sincerely loyal, and he was a little suspicious.
The two maids in the royal yurt retreated. They were going to tell the Dalan family that King Xianbei was going to give Zhang Qi a treasure.
The Dalan clan, the woman of the Xianbei King, had a status equivalent to the palace queen of the Han Dynasty. The Xianbei tribe's treasury was equivalent to internal funds, and was generally in charge of the Dalan clan.
"In addition, Tuomu, tomorrow I will select 2,000 cows, 4,000 sheep and corresponding fodder from the pasture and send them to the chief household. His cows and sheep were all dedicated to the king, so his subordinates must also be short of food.
This is a true prairie warrior, so we cannot neglect him. "
Takumu put on a bird feather felt hat and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After giving the instructions, King Xianbei looked at the tiger skin in his hand with a smile on his face. There were gaps everywhere on the bloody tiger skin, and the ruthlessness in it made people admire him.
"Okay, okay, you are really brave!"
While admiring the tiger skin, King Xianbei sighed.
Time flowed leisurely and slowly, and the sun and the moon alternated several times. Far away in the dense forest of the Greater Khingan Mountains, two thousand-man armies were well prepared.
Hui was preparing supplies for the march before he received the order from Zhang Qi. He understood the current situation of Qi, and it was only a matter of time before he sent someone back to convey the order for the march.
Recently, the herders in the camp have been eating dairy products and meat. All the grains have been collected and ground into powder. Pieces of naan bread have been baked and stacked neatly. These are the daily supplies of the soldiers who are about to march. staple food.
In addition, peptone cheese can also be eaten, and Hui has given each soldier a sufficient portion.
Today is the second day after the patrol sent back Zhang Qi's order. Everything is ready and the two flags are slowly raised.
One pole has the word "王" written on it and is surrounded by animal patterns.
One pole is embroidered with a large eagle with spread wings, and under the eagle's wings is the eagle's flag.
They are now captains, each in charge of more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and their subordinates are gathered in Qutun.
There are two thousand people and eight thousand horses, each with four riders. Some of these horses carry the new army's food and grass on their backs, while others carry armor and weapons.
The road to the Xianbei grassland has long been smoothed out, and the sentries can find the direction with their eyes closed.
"Set off!"
On the war horse, Wang Li took out the steel knife given to him by Zhang Qi and pointed it at the sky.
Beside him, two flag bearers waved small flags to convey orders.
Boom, boom, boom.
Thousands of war horses moved forward at the same time, causing the few leaves on the treetops to rustle down.
Seeing Wang Li's troops marching, Ying waited for more than a quarter of an hour before giving the order. Thousands of war horses marched again, and all the birds and beasts in the forest avoided them.
