Not even halfway through.
The scorching sun gradually moved away.
Just as the officers and soldiers of the Yan Army were performing their respective duties, they were busy finishing the final matters after the battle with the Corpse Chaser King.
Xu Yi was also busy in the military tent in the temporary camp while he was busy with the transfer of some official positions in the army and other matters.
On the orders of Emperor Zhengde, several middle-aged eunuchs from Mobei were ordered to send vassal kings from various places to increase their troops.
After going all the way over mountains and ridges, they were finally escorted by 500 soldiers guarding the camp of the Yan army to the outside of Yehu Ridge.
Fang and his party arrived outside the hills of Yehu Ridge.
A middle-aged eunuch wearing the red eunuch robe of the Supervisor of Ceremonies could no longer bear the torment caused by the scorching sun.
His eyes went dark and he fell straight down towards the horse's back.
"Father-in-law!"
"Eunuch Cao!"
"Eunuch Cao! Don't scare the little one!"
"Quick! Go and find Xu Quzhang! Go and find Xu Quchang!"
Seeing Cao Yaoting, one of the eunuchs accompanying his immediate superior, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, fall from his horse.
Several eunuchs following him panicked instantly.
Just as several eunuchs were panicking around Cao Yaoting.
Fang inspected the entire army and returned to the trapped camp of the Chinese army. Xu Qiancheng, the commander of Qu'an, saw this scene.
Then he couldn't help but silently speed up his horse and drive closer.
"What happened?"
"Come quickly!"
Xu Qian walked closer and saw that the front was surrounded by several eunuchs and horses, so he couldn't help but asked sharply.
"Xu Quchang? Xu Quchang!!!"
"Please save Eunuch Cao quickly."
"Eunuch Cao was walking well, but for some reason he suddenly fell off his horse."
Upon hearing this, an eunuch quickly turned around, and when he saw that the person behind him was none other than Xu Qiancheng, the commander of the Qu'an song of King Yan's camp who was escorting them out of the fortress.
He immediately asked with an eager look on his face.
"You were walking fine, but for some reason you suddenly fell off your horse?"
Xu Qiancheng couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this. He murmured in a low voice and quickly stepped forward and passed several eunuchs to approach Cao Yaoting.
After seeing Cao Yaoting's face clearly.
Xu Qiancheng quickly leaned over and grabbed Cao Yaoting's left wrist, and then quickly stretched out his fingers to take a pulse.
"Eunuch Cao is suffering from heat syndrome."
"Please move out of the way quickly and don't crowd around, so as not to miss the diagnosis and treatment."
After more than ten breaths, Xu Qiancheng stood up and looked at the eunuchs around him with a serious look on his face.
"Hurry up!"
"Get out of here quickly! We won't miss the diagnosis and treatment!"
"Horses! There are still horses! Take them all away! Take them all away!"
A slightly older eunuch heard this and quickly spoke to drive him away.
After all the eunuchs and war horses dispersed.
Xu Qiancheng then looked at several soldiers guarding Anqu not far away.
"Take a tent and open it from front to back."
"Get some water and some heat-repelling medicine."
Xu Qiancheng calmed down for a moment and then gave instructions.
"yes!"
Several soldiers guarding Anqu heard this and quickly raised their hands.
Not long after.
Several soldiers guarding Anqu brought a tent.
And it was built with Cao Yaoting as the center.
And the front curtain of the tent is completely open behind it.
Two or three quarters of an hour later.
Provide shading in the tent and ventilation behind the front curtain.
And under the effect of heat-removing medicine and water.
Cao Yaoting, one of the eunuchs who served as the Supervisor of Ceremonies, finally woke up quietly.
"This...where is this?"
"Xu...Xu Quchang?"
Cao Yaoting, who woke up faintly, looked in front of him with a depressed face.
After seeing Xu Qiancheng standing not far away from him.
Cao Yaoting immediately struggled to get up from the ground.
"Eunuch Cao will only wake up after the summer heat."
"It's not too late to rest for a while before getting up."
Seeing this, Xu Qiancheng calmly took a few steps forward and comforted him.
"Will you wake up from the heat?"
Cao Yaoting couldn't help but wonder when he heard this.
"While we were on our way earlier, Eunuch Cao fell off his horse..."
After hearing this, Xu Qiancheng recounted everything that had happened just now without hesitation.
Waiting to hear that I fell off my horse because of the heat.
Later, I learned about the entire process of Xu Qiancheng’s treatment.
A complex look appeared on Cao Yaoting's listless face.
"Xu Quzhang's life-saving grace."
"I will keep it in my heart."
"In the future, Xu Qu will grow as long as he needs it."
"You can write a letter to me at any time and send it to An Jingcheng in the east of the capital city."
"Mr. Cao has a nephew who works in a pawn shop in Nadong City."
"The nephew of Mr. Cao will definitely convey the letter to Mr. Cao at that time."
"If it is within Cao's ability."
"Then Mr. Cao must do his best to repay the favor of saving his life."
Cao Yaoting promised solemnly.
"Eunuch Cao said something serious."
"It is Xu's duty to protect the safety of Eunuch Cao and his party."
"Eunuch Cao, there is no need to be like this."
Xu Qiancheng couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the words, and then declined calmly.
"Xu Quchang's words are wrong."
"..."
"..."
After hearing this, Cao Yaoting couldn't help but give words of persuasion.
Xu Qiancheng and Cao Yaoting exchanged a few polite words.
Cao Yaoting seemed to suddenly think of something, and his expression suddenly straightened.
"Xu Quchang."
"You and I are probably more than five hundred miles away from the fortress by now."
"Now we have reached the Yehuling area that Xu Quchang mentioned."
"I wonder when we can find His Highness Prince Yan?"
Cao Yaoting's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately asked.
"It's reported from the detective horse."
"Yesterday, Your Majesty completely annihilated the 15,000-strong army led by King Haman, the Corpse Chaser."
"And captured Haman, the corpse-chaser king, alive."
"We are currently resting and reorganizing our troops at the northern periphery of Yehu Ridge."
"You and I only need to climb over the hills outside to find the prince."
Xu Qiancheng calmed down for a moment and then answered truthfully.
"What?!"
"What did Xu Quchang just say?!"
When Cao Yaoting heard this, his eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Xu Qiancheng in disbelief.
"Xu just spoke."
"You and I only need to climb over the hills outside to find the prince."
Xu Qiancheng paused for a moment, then repeated again.
"No...that's not it."
"Yes...it's the previous sentence."
Cao Yaoting shook his head after hearing this, and then asked again.
"last sentence?"
"It's reported from the detective horse."
"Yesterday, Your Majesty completely annihilated the 15,000-strong army led by King Haman, the Corpse Chaser."
"And captured Haman, the corpse-chaser king, alive."
"The troops are currently resting and reorganizing at the northern periphery of Yehu Ridge?"
Xu Qiancheng was stunned for a moment, then repeated again.
"Yes, yes! That's it!"
"Xu Qu Chang said that yesterday His Highness the King of Yan completely annihilated the 15,000-strong army led by Haman, the corpse-chasing king."
"And captured Haman, the corpse-chaser king, alive."
"Chang Xu, can this be true?"
Cao Yaoting's face was filled with disbelief, and his wide eyes were staring at Xu Qiancheng's eyes.
"Jokes are the most taboo in the military."
When Xu Qiancheng heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed through his eyes, and then he answered in a deep voice.
"Jokes are the most taboo in the military..."
"Jokes are the most taboo in the military..."
"Jokes are the most taboo in the military..."
"If this is true..."
"If this is true... Your Majesty will definitely be overjoyed!"
Cao Yaoting couldn't help but feel hot in his heart when he heard the words, and he kept murmuring in his heart.
A full quarter of an hour passed.
Cao Yaoting just gradually came back to his senses.
"Xu Quchang."
"How long will it take for you and me to cross the hills of Yehu Ridge?"
Cao Yaoting struggled to sit up from the grass. After calming down for a moment, he looked at Xu Qiancheng with a solemn look on his face.
"If we march normally at the current speed."
"It takes two or three days to cross the hills of Yehuling."
Xu Qiancheng pondered for a few breaths, and then answered truthfully.
"What if we march at full speed?"
Cao Yaoting quickly asked after hearing this.
"If we march at full speed, we can cross the hills of Yehuling in about a day and a half."
Xu Qiancheng pondered for a few breaths, and then answered again.
"One and a half days..."
"One and a half days..."
"One and a half days..."
"It's too slow, it's really too slow."
Cao Yaoting couldn't help but darken his eyes when he heard this.
Now Cao Yaoting is eager to confirm this matter as soon as possible.
Then he worked hard to return to the palace before Xu Yi's horse arrived in the capital and reported the matter to Emperor Zhengde.
At such a time when every inch of time is worth every inch of gold.
How could Cao Yaoting endure being one day behind again?
"Xu Quchang."
"One and a half days is too long."
"Is there any way to find His Royal Highness Prince Yan faster?"
"If so, I hope that Chief Xu Qu will give you some advice."
"When Mr. Cao returns to Beijing, Mr. Cao will definitely express his gratitude."
Cao Yaoting stood up from the ground with a determined look on his face, and then leaned forward to bow to Xu Qiancheng.
"I can't do it, I can't do it."
"Eunuch Cao has defeated Xu."
Seeing this, Xu Qiancheng stepped forward and helped Cao Yaoting up.
"As for the way to quickly find the prince."
"Xu is really another one."
"only......"
After helping Cao Yaoting to his feet, Xu Qiancheng said with a confused look on his face.
"Just what?"
"Please tell Chang Xu truthfully."
Cao Yaoting couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked.
"What Xu said is to take a dangerous path."
"If everything goes well."
"When I can climb over the hills of Yehu Ridge tomorrow at Mao hour."
"only......."
"It's just that the road is quite bumpy."
"There are many places where you have to leave your horse to go."
Xu Qiancheng pondered for a few breaths, and then replied with a troubled expression.
"Please also ask Xu Qu to lead someone on this dangerous road!"
Cao Yaoting couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and then he quickly bowed to Xu Qiancheng again.
"Eunuch Cao, please think twice."
"This road is rugged and difficult to travel. If you are not careful when traveling on this road at night, you will fall into the hills."
Xu Qiancheng pondered for a few breaths, and then spoke to persuade.
"It doesn't matter."
"Chang Xu Qu just leads the way."
"If someone accidentally falls down the hill on the way."
"That's just someone's bad luck and has nothing to do with Xu Quchang."
"If someone is lucky enough to climb over the hills, he will be able to see His Highness King Yan."
"There will be a big thank you someday."
Cao Yaoting took out a wordless dark green jade peace sign the size of a child's palm from his arms.
Then he quietly stuffed it into the dry food bag hanging on the side of Xu Qiancheng's armor.
"If Mr. Cao has made up his mind."
"Then Xu can only do his best to protect Eunuch Cao."
The corners of Xu Qiancheng's mouth raised slightly, and then his expression straightened and he spoke in assurance.
"It's hard work and the song is long."
Upon hearing this, Cao Yaoting immediately bowed to Xu Qiancheng again.
"Eunuch Cao, you're welcome."
"Please wait for a moment, Eunuch Cao."
"Xu will inform you about the route change now."
"In a quarter and a half."
"You and I will leave on time."
Xu Qiancheng smiled, then clasped his fists and returned the salute.
"It's hard work and the song is long."
"Eunuch Cao, you're welcome."
After exchanging a few words with Cao Yaoting again.
Xu Qiancheng turned around and left.
After Xu Qiancheng's figure completely disappeared from sight.
Cao Yaoting couldn't help but look up at the hills of Yehuling not far away.
"Wealth is found in danger."
"If you can get this good news."
"Even if your Majesty rides a dragon to the west someday."
"The new emperor ascends the throne and performs the acts of an emperor and a courtier."
"I, the Cao family, can also be rewarded for this good news."
"It's easy to be rich and prosperous for generations."
"If at that time, one of the descendants of my Cao family can be a scholar."
"My Cao family may not be able to shine brightly in the future!"
"No matter how bad it is, I can still get him to be the county magistrate for three years and get a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver!"
Cao Yaoting stared at the hills outside the tent and couldn't help but think to himself.
Although most of the eunuchs purified their bodies and became meritorious at a young age.
But this does not mean that there are no relatives or nephews in the eunuch's family.
Just as Cao Yaoting was staring at the hills and mountains of Yehuling in his tent, he was thinking wildly.
Xu Qiancheng, the commander of the captured camp guard who had just left the camp, had already mounted his horse and marched to the rear of the army again.
"Chief Kang."
Xu Qian walked to the rear of the army, then dismounted and walked straight towards a slightly thin young man.
When they got closer, Xu Qiancheng slightly cupped his fists and said politely.
And he was called Kang Bochang.
Surprisingly, it was the Tan Ma he had mentioned before.
In Xu Yi's name, Qu Bo, the scout of Xianden camp who came specially to protect Anqu, was blessed with long-term health and longevity.
"The long bend of Xu Qu makes the small one worse."
Seeing this, Kang Shouxi couldn't help but clasped his fists in return.
"Xu Qu has been here for so long, but things are not going well?"
After returning the gift, Kang Shouxi stood up and couldn't help but look at Xu Qiancheng with worry on his face.
This time he was ordered to contact Hu Anqu.
The main purpose is to speed up the march of Guard Anqu.
Strive to escort the eunuchs who delivered the decree to the Yan army's temporary camp within one or two days.
So as not to miss the departure time of the army.
If those eunuchs were reasonable.
Xu Yi would not say much.
If those eunuchs are unreasonable.
Xu Yi will never delay his fight.
But if it really comes then.
Xu Yizhi will ensure the safety of the eunuchs who passed the decree.
Make it suffer as much as possible.
"Uncle Kang doesn't know something."
"When Xu found the eunuchs who delivered the order."
"The eunuch Cao Yaoting, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, has already fainted due to the heat."
"It will be two or three quarters of an hour after we revive him."
"later......."
"..."
"..."
Xu Qiancheng chuckled and shook his head, and then told the truth of what had just happened, down to the smallest detail.
Even Cao Yaoting made serious promises several times, and finally secretly gave him a valuable dark green jade peace card.
He also told it truthfully.
The words are over.
Xu Qiancheng took out the valuable dark green jade peace sign from the dry food bag hanging by his armor.
"Please also ask Mr. Kang Bo to pass this card to the prince on behalf of Mr. Xu."
Xu Qiancheng handed the valuable dark green jade peace sign to Kang Shouxi magnanimously.
