According to Li San, their trip to the hinterland of the grassland to pick the Snow Ice Lotus was originally very smooth.
Unexpectedly, after picking the ice lotus, nearly a hundred wolves immediately appeared around them. With no choice, they could only fight with the wolves head-on.
In the battle between flesh and blood and iron teeth and sharp claws, no matter how skilled they were, they could not defeat the wolves that were about twice their number.
At the critical moment, Ge Qing made a decisive decision and handed over Cang Xue Binglian to Li San, and desperately protected him to escape from the siege, while he stayed and lived and died with the other forty-nine soldiers!
Ge Yan's heart tightened when he heard that. Before Li San finished speaking, he grabbed the clothes in front of Li San and asked hurriedly: "What about my brother? How is he..."?
The words were almost choked.
Li San's face was filled with grief, and he sighed heavily, then covered his face with his palms, as if he didn't want to face Ge Yan.
Ge Yan's face was pale, his teeth were trembling, and he asked in a daze: "Just tell me, when you escaped, was my brother... still alive?"
"Alive! I looked back from a distance. At that time, the master and several brothers were still fighting with dozens of wolves!" Li San said with certainty.
Less than ten people fought against dozens of ferocious wolves. The outcome of those few people can be imagined.
But Ge Yan only had one idea in his mind, he was going to save his eldest brother!
"Tell me that place!" Ge Yan's voice was calmer than ever before.
"No!" Li San flatly refused: "You are my only relative. I also see how your Majesty treats you on weekdays. Li San's life was saved by your Majesty, and I will never let you take risks!"
"Then let's go together! Bring everyone in the camp!"
"No!" The second prince who opened the curtain and came in also refused, "So many people entering the grassland is a provocation. It might trigger a war between the Jin people and the Di people!"
"What about my brother! Should he die there?" Ge Yan's voice was slightly trembling, "Now that your mother-in-law's life-saving elixir has been obtained, my brother should risk his life for that damn Cangxue Ice Lotus. Are you going to die?"
"Ge Yan..." The second prince looked unbearable. He took Ge Yan's hand and comforted him: "I just heard it outside. According to what Li San said, Ge Qianhu's chance of survival is very slim. You... Why take this risk? You come back to Beijing with me, and I will cancel your military household registration for you. In this way, you can take part in the imperial examination in the future. With your talent and learning, you will definitely be on the list. In this way, it can also help you. Ge Jiaguang Zong Yaozu, I think Ge Qianhu would also like to see such a scene!"
Ge Yan threw away the second prince's hand, stared at him quietly, and sneered: "Imperial examination? Guangzong Yaozu? I don't care! I just want to save my brother!"
The second prince's good intentions were treated like a donkey's liver and lungs, and he became angry. Ever since he was a child, no one dared to talk to him in such a tone!
"If you want to go, go by yourself. No one among the soldiers can follow you!" The majesty of the noble Tianhuang was clearly revealed at this moment.
"Go by yourself, just go by yourself!" Ge Yan returned to his camp like a gust of wind, and quickly brought a topographic map of the northern grassland and asked Li San to point out the place where they were in danger.
Li San wanted to persuade him again, but he was seriously injured and could not get up. He could only watch Ge Yan, who learned the location, and walked out of the camp.
Ge Yan quickly took some healing pills, gold wound medicine and bandages from the military doctor. He also went to the Huotou Army to get enough dry food and water for several days. He packed these into a bundle, went to the stable to pick up the horses, and then went alone He rode his horse out of camp and ran straight north.
In the military camp, Wang Jianjun was still talking to the second prince: "Is it okay if he goes out like this?"
The second prince's face was not very good, and he said impatiently: "If he wants to die, he can go alone! How can our Jin army risk war with the Di people for him alone! Even if it is to save his mother's life, Even magic medicine won’t work!”
Wang Jianjun nodded in agreement, and after hearing that he was about to leave for the capital immediately, he stood up and told him to go down and pack his bags.
When he walked to the door of the camp, he heard the second prince say: "Tell General Yuchi that if no news comes in ten days, ask him to mention Ge Qianhu's title and set up a tomb for the two brothers. In addition, The position of Thousand Households in this camp should be given to Li San."
Wang Jianjun nodded in agreement.
Ge Yan's riding skills were not good. With just one breath, he was stuck on the horse and headed all the way to the hinterland of the grassland shown on the map.
After autumn, there are mostly cloudy skies on the grassland, and there are endless vast plains, making it very difficult to identify the direction.
After wandering on the grassland for two days, Ge Yan didn't know if he had deviated from the direction, but he didn't want to give up because he didn't see his brother.
In the royal court of the Baidi tribe, General Zamuduo received the news that Ge Qing's life or death was uncertain. He drank a bowl of wine on the spot and laughed heartily.
His elder brother, General Puedo, was General Bai Di who was beheaded by Ge Qing himself.
Jamu Duo had long harbored a grudge against Ge Qing and asked Shanyu to fight many times, hoping to seek revenge against Ge Qing. However, Bai Di Shanyu had other considerations and rejected his request.
The news came in time. Zamuduo immediately ordered more than ten personal guards. The group went to the hinterland of the grassland to find Ge Qing's body and bring it to his brother's grave to pay tribute. If he was still alive, they would kill him with his own hands. he!
After searching for three days, Ge Yan was completely lost on the prairie. He had no sense of direction anymore. He had not slept for three consecutive days. He was almost exhausted, but he could not rest since he did not find his elder brother.
With this breath, Ge Yan continued to search and wander on the grassland.
God seemed to see his piety and finally favored him once. Just when he was dizzy, his vision was blurred, and he almost fainted, a figure covered with scars and tattered clothes appeared in front of him.
The man was lying straight on the ground. Looking from Ge Yan's perspective, his chest did not rise or fall.
Ge Yan almost rolled off his horse and crawled to the man's side. He used his cuffs to wipe away the blood on his face, revealing a very familiar face.
This face is almost engraved in my bones, it is the face that has been echoing in my mind every moment for the past three days.
Ge Yan touched his neck with trembling hands. There was still a trace of warm breath and it was still beating.
At this moment, Ge Yan almost shed tears. His brother was still alive!
He quickly took out the pills and water bag from the bag and tried to feed him with water, but he couldn't feed him at all. At this time, his brother seemed to be hanging with only one breath left.
Without thinking, Ge Yan put the pill into his mouth with his backhand, then took half of the water in his mouth. He put his somewhat chapped lips against Ge Qing's equally chapped lips, and flexibly pried open his teeth with the tip of his tongue to remove the pill from his mouth. The water was put into Ge Qing's throat, he blew a gentle breath, and the pills were swallowed along with the water.
Seeing that this method worked, Ge Yan couldn't help being happy. He followed the same method and fed him three pills in a row before stopping.
Seeing that the terrain here was open and the wind was blowing over him, Ge Yan frowned and used all his strength to help Ge Qing onto the horse. He found a low place nearby that could block the wind and helped Ge Qing. dismount.
Ge Qing's clothes were torn and covered with blood, and he was in a very embarrassed state. Ge Yan tried his best to take off his clothes with the lightest strength, carefully applied gold wound medicine on each wound, and wrapped it with a bandage.
After doing this, Ge Yan sat down on the ground and ate a few mouthfuls of dry food with water and grass.
After regaining some strength, Ge Yan touched Ge Qing's hand again. The palm that used to mend his clothes and slap him had no warmth at all, and Ge Yan felt anxious again.
Suddenly he thought of the night when his brother carried him back from Yihonglou, and his brother held him to keep him warm. Thinking of this, Ge Yan immediately took off his clothes and pressed his bare chest against Ge Qing's bandaged chest. Then he tied the sleeves of their clothes tightly and wrapped them between them.
Ge Yan hugged Ge Qing's waist tightly, and finally became extremely tired and fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up, it was already dark, I guess four or five hours had passed.
Ge Yan fed Ge Qing another pill. Thinking that his brother had been unconscious for who knows how long and had not eaten for a long time, his body must not be able to bear it, so he tore up half a piece of cake and fed it to him bit by bit with water. have eaten.
Feeling that Ge Qing's body was gradually getting warmer, Ge Yan calmed down a little. He finished the remaining half of the cake, hugged Ge Qing tightly with his arms, and fell asleep again.
Feeding was repeated in this way until the evening of the third day. Ge Yan put his lips on Ge Qing's lips and was about to feed him a pill when he saw the pair of eyes that were close at hand suddenly opened.
Ge Yan was shocked and swallowed the pill into his stomach.
After being startled, he suddenly threw his head back and said in surprise: "Brother, you finally woke up!"
Ge Qing's eyes were dull for a moment, and he said "Yeah", but his voice was extremely hoarse.
"Thumping", "thumping", I don't know when, the sound of two hearts beating in the chests that are tightly pressed together is like drums.
Because they were so close, both of them could hear clearly.
Ge Yan finally reacted, hurriedly untied the knot on his sleeves, stood up, and took a big step back. This step created a three-foot distance between the two.
Ge Qing closed his eyes, calmed down his mind, and then said in that hoarse voice: "Yan'er, put on your clothes."
Ge Yan nodded repeatedly and hurriedly put on the clothes. After putting them on himself, he put the tattered clothes on for Ge Qing. After thinking about it, he felt it was wrong, so he took off his clothes again and wrapped them around Ge Qing. On the body.
After finishing all this, Ge Yancai asked dryly: "Brother, how do you feel now?"
Ge Qing paused for a moment and then said: "It's OK. Is there anything to eat? I'm very hungry."
For several days, the dry food fed by Ge Yan alone was not enough to fill his stomach.
Hearing this, Ge Yan hurriedly took out the dry food and water bag from his bag, handed it to him, and said: "There are still a lot of them, just eat them with your belly open, it's enough!" When he went to the Huotou Army, he Thinking of the current situation, I packed a lot of food.
Ge Qing had just woken up. He had no strength in his hands and raised his arms, but failed. Seeing this, Ge Yan took the pancake and water bag and fed them to his mouth.
Ge Qing glanced at Ge Yan with his dark eyes, then opened his mouth to eat, filling his stomach, and spoke with a bit of energy: "How did you come to the grassland? How did you find me?"
At that time, they were under siege by Canglang, and all the brothers around them died miserably. After covering Li San's escape with the elixir, the remaining few of them looked for an opportunity to fight and leave, but Canglang was too difficult. He was the only one who succeeded in escaping in the end. He remembered that after he escaped from the wolf's pursuit, he was seriously injured, exhausted, and fainted.
Ge Yan told him everything that happened after Li San came back, and then he figured out the whole thing.
"Aren't you... afraid of death? You actually dare to come to the grassland alone." Ge Qing looked at Ge Yan with a very complicated look. His younger brother had always had a rough and undisciplined temperament since he was a child. He had never thought about it. The younger brother would risk his life to save him alone.
Ge Yan scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I didn't think so much at the time. I only had this idea in my mind, so I did it! Besides, I only have you as my brother."
Ge Qing suddenly felt that it was worth it for him to bring him up all these years. His naughty little brother finally grew up.
"I'll rest for one more night and go back tomorrow."
Seeing Ge Yan nodding, Ge Qing closed his eyes again and soon fell into a deep sleep. The slightly raised corners of his lips betrayed his good mood.
Ge Qing was so seriously injured that he just woke up. He had been struggling for a long time, and a deep sleep was conducive to physical recovery.
Seeing that Ge Qing fell asleep again, Ge Yan hugged his knees and sat next to the horse that was grazing. The original heaviness was swept away, and he felt very peaceful.
My brother finally came to life, so good!
He turned to look at the horse happily eating grass, and said softly: "That's great! Horse, you are also very happy, aren't you?" After saying that, he felt a little silly again, and laughed softly again.
On the vast grassland, there were two people sitting on brown horses slowly heading south.
Ge Qing in front suddenly twitched his ears: "No!" When he looked back, he saw a dozen men dressed as Di people riding their horses and chasing him.
Ge Qing clenched the reins in his hands, turned his head and said to Ge Yan, who was sitting behind him: "If you are in danger, hold me tight!"
Feeling that the arms around his waist were tightening, he pinched the horse's belly, raised his whip and spurred the horse, and the two of them ran south quickly.
Among the group of people chasing behind them, Jamu Duo, the leader, saw the horse in front of him speeding up instantly. He was so angry that he whipped the white horse under him on the buttocks. He also took off the bow and arrow on the saddle, and bent the bow to shoot an arrow. ejaculate.
Seeing that he had hit the target, and was about to pursue the victory, another group of people appeared in front, and the leader shouted loudly: "Zhamudo, Shanyu already knows that you are going out privately, and he has specially ordered me to bring you back!"
Zamuduo's face was full of reluctance, and he said bitterly: "Ge Qing, who killed Puyeduo's brother, is right in front. Get out of my way!"
But the man took out a sign from his arms, showed it to Jamu Duo, and said: "Zamu Duo, don't you even listen to Shan Yu's orders?"
Seeing the man in front of him running further and further away, shrinking into a small black dot, Zhamudo looked at the sign again, threw the bow and arrow in his hand hard on the ground, and said angrily: "Don't think that Shanyu is backing him." , I can’t do anything to you, the days are long, just wait for me!”
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and led the guards behind him on the way back and forth.
