"Report to the miracle doctor, Mi Liang...Mi's young master asked for a visit." Lu Chuang came into the room and bowed to Fengli.

"Mi..." The Queen Mother Zu died, and Feng Li's mission had been completed. He was packing up his things and was preparing to return to Chu. He was stunned when he heard this. During these days, all kinds of news were spreading in Xianyang. Some said that the king died in battle, and some said that the king fled to Hu and was killed by the Hu people... The news should not be trusted easily, but the Zhao army knights who died in the south of Xianyang City were true. All of these knights were beheaded and piled up into Jingguan.

In addition, there are many news about the young master Mi. The most widely circulated is that the king entered Qin for the young master Mi. However, the young master Mi is already the wife and concubine of the King of Qin and is unwilling to leave Qin with the eldest prince... Of course, Fengli knew about the relationship between the eldest prince and the young master Mi, but he could not confirm the young master Mi's thoughts. When he heard that she came to ask for a meeting, he was immediately nervous.

"Doctor Feng..." Lu Qiu was stunned for some reason, so he called him again.

"Please, please ask Mi... the female young master." Ying Li threw down the things in his hand and hurried to Mingtang to meet him.

"Mi Xuan has met the miracle doctor." Mi Xuan in the Mingtang wore a mourning dress. Although the Queen Mother Zu loved her all her life, she was only her clan aunt, so she could only wear a mourning dress for only three months. "Mi Xuan thanked her for the past treatment of the miracle doctor."

Mi Xuan bowed his head, and Fengli was at a loss for a moment. He eventually failed to save Mi Ji's life. If he saved it, maybe Mi Xuan had already entered Chu at this time. "Please get up with a female son. I have too little medical skills and cannot save Empress Dowager Zu."

Mi Xuan's eyes were filled with tears when Feng Li said one sentence. However, his aunt was terminally ill and the immortal medicine could not save her life.

"The lady came here just to..." Seeing that Mi Xuan wanted to cry, Feng Li quickly changed the subject. He felt that Mi Xuan had something to do with him.

"There is still something to be entrusted to the miracle doctor." Mi Xuan stopped after saying that. After understanding her meaning, Fengli hurriedly waved away others. "Please ask the miracle doctor to take this item to Yingdu and hand it over to the king."

"No." What Mi Xuan took out a thin satin bag from his arms. When Feng Li solemnly took it, Mi Xuan had already said goodbye. He didn't open it, nor did he dare to open it, so he just carefully placed it in the close-fitting medicine box. Unfortunately, before he left Xianyang, the bag appeared on the desk of King Zhao Zheng of Qin.

"Please take a break and have a meal." The package was filled with Chu paper, and each piece was filled with the girl's love and longing. Zhao Zheng was unaware of Zhao Gao's voice. He only realized when Zhao Gao called him again.

"Zhao Gao, what do you think...love is?" Zhao Zheng asked with a little confusion.

*

Qin was in the northwest and northwest Rongdi tribes, only the Qiang people had never surrendered to Qin. The reason was that their earliest chief Wuyi Yuanjian was a fugitive slave of the Qin people. It is said that when Wuyi Yuanjian fled, the Qin people chased him very quickly. Hiding in a cave, the Qin people simply set a fire and wanted to burn him to death. Unexpectedly, he did not burn him to death. The Qiang people thought he was a god and praised him as a pride.

If you are in the Central Plains, your thinking is enough for hundreds of miles, but when you are in the grassland, you must at least think of thousands of miles away. With the land of the river as the center, draw a circle with a radius of one thousand miles. Only where the Qiang people live can three thousand people get supplies and will not betrayed. This is Xiong Jing's idea, and it is also something that Xin Sheng felt but did not think of in the end.

Of course, this cannot be said that Xin Sheng is too stupid. He can only say that his eyes only look to the north and west of Hequ Land, and not to the south of Hequ Land. The winter place Xiong Jing is going to is in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Later generations are close to Xining in Qinghai. The place name that often appears in ancient books is: Hehuang.

Because there is no accurate map, he can only roughly judge that it is about 1,000 miles away from the Hequ land, but in fact it is more than 1,300 miles. It takes more than 20 days to walk fifty miles a day. The road to go is very simple. The reason why Hehuang is called Hehuang is because it meets the Yellow River and Huangshui, so it is enough to go up along the frozen Yellow River. As for the Yellow River to freeze next spring, it is even simpler. Build a good boat in winter and go down the Yellow River after the flood season.

The plan is that simple. If you don’t want to risk being intercepted by the Qin army, and don’t want to try the strange cold of the Mongolian Plateau north of Yinshan, the only place you can go is Hehuang. There are more than 100,000 Qiang people there. They know that farming and storing food in winter will not be a problem, so they will not know whether they can support more than 2,000 cattle and horses.

After the news of the fall of Jiuyuan County came, there was no hesitation. Li Bo, Li Qi and other Zhao people were willing to follow Xiong Jing to a winter place thousands of miles away. After trying to create some traces of going north, they walked south along the surface of the Yellow River and arrived at the northwest of Didao, the westernmost city of the northern county of Qin, which is Lanzhou in later generations. More than 3,000 people began to turn to Huangshui, a tributary of the Yellow River.

As soon as we entered the Huangshui River, we met more and more Qiang people. Most of them lived on the banks of the Huangshui River, with vague villages, low wooden houses, and jagged fields... This was very gratifying for the team with very few food and fodder left.

Of course, there is also something that is worrying, that is, even if the Qiang people in Hequ shouted to contact, they did not have effective contact with the Qiang tribe here. When all the Qiang people saw a team of more than 3,000 people, they hurriedly avoided them and disappeared without a trace.

"What can you do if the Rong people avoid me?" The wind and snow became more and more fierce, and the cattle and horses were frozen to death. Li Bo, who finally lived in a wooden house, was a little worried. He felt that if he continued like this, a war would eventually break out between each other.

"The ancestors of the Qiang people have been afraid of Qin for a long time. We, the people of Chu, had a long relationship with the Qiang people, and there must be no trouble." Yi Tong explained. The grandson of Wuyi Yuanjian was worried that the Qin people would attack, so he led his clans to migrate, some into Sichuan, some into Tibet, and some into Xinjiang, and Tibetans were descendants of the Qiang people. The relationship between the Chu people and the Qiang people was that the ancestors of the Chu people married women from the Qiang tribe, which was similar to the Zhou people.

However, before the Shang Dynasty, the Qiang people and the Qiang people of the Warring States Period were considered distant relatives. In the Yin Dynasty, the Qiang people participated in the Battle of Muye with the Zhou people and then enfeoffed various parts of the Central Plains. Their civilization level was naturally higher than that of the Qiang people on both sides of the Huangshui River. However, it was this distant relative relationship that allowed the Qiang people in Hequ to voluntarily lead the way.

"How much food and fodder are there?" Xiong Jing was not worried about not being able to contact the Qiang people at all. He only cared about food and grass.

"Not much." He had tried his best to carry food and fodder. Even the dragon horse's beans and wheat were greatly reduced. Di horse and cows could only eat grass. Now the team only traveled forty miles a day, and the rest of the time was to mow grass everywhere.

"Not much is it?" Xiong Jing asked. He is now restraining the Chu soldiers and Zhao soldiers and not allowing them to rob the Qiang people. If the food is really cut off, he will have to rob them if he doesn't rob them.

"Ten days." Yi Tong said a number, "If there is no food or fodder in ten days..."

"Report——!" An informant came from outside the wooden house, which was Xiang Chao's voice. "Report to the king, the Qiang people are here."

"Come?" Xiong Jing was puzzled. "Are the Qiang people coming?"

The Chu people called the leader proud, and the Qiang people also called the leader proud, which made Xiong Jing feel kind, after all, he was a relative.

"No!" Xiang Chao was outside the door, and there was heavy snow outside the door, and he stood in the snow. "It's the Qiang army that has come."

"The army of Qiang people?" The people in the room were surprised. Xiong Jing stood up and said, "How many miles?"

"I saw that he was twenty miles away, and I don't know how many miles he could walk in half an hour." Xiang Chao said. Three thousand people were walking along the frozen Yellow River. Scouts always had to send out from all directions, and the same was true for entering the Huangshui River. From afar, he saw Qiang people gathering and flocking.

"Does he want to fight me?" Xiong Jing asked.

"I saw that they were all holding wars, as if they wanted to fight me." Xiang Chao replied.

"Where is Qiang Lice?" Yi Tong asked the leader of the Qiang people in Hequ. The man was named Lice and understood Qin language.

"The Qiang lice wanted to talk to him, but they had been captured by them." Xiang Chao said. "The king had ordered us not to kill and damage the Qiang people, so I immediately turned back."

"Prepare horses!" It was indeed inappropriate to run to someone's house with more than 3,000 people uninvited. But if you don't run to someone's house, you will go there for the winter by yourself in the snow? Xiong Jing only called to prepare horses, and after a while he put on his horse boots and sheep's fur and went out.

I didn't feel it in the wooden house, but when he went out, he felt that the chill had penetrated into the bones. The giant armor could not touch it at all, and it would fall off a layer of skin when it touched it. There was also the "radish" that was born when he was a child. Several of his fingers were frozen into "radish" very early, which hurts when it was cold and it became itchy when it was warm.

"Helping!" He held his breath and could not fight the cold. He took a heavy breath to adapt to this temperature before he rode his horse forward. Zhuang Quji, Gui Jing, Xiang Chao, Cheng Kui and more than 200 knights followed closely, running under the flying king's flag. At this time, Zhao general Li Qi also led his troops, and Zhao's soldiers rode the last 400 war horses and headed west with the Chu army.

The weather was getting colder and colder. The horse's hooves with huge iron horseshoes stepped on the ice of Huangshui, leaving only a shallow mark. More than 700 riders ran less than ten miles before they saw the Qiang army coming upstream of the Huangshui River. To be honest, the Qiang soldiers and armor were really not very good, and some people even had sticks. As for armor, except for a few Qiang people who looked like leaders, there were no armor at all. They were only wearing a fur and were covered with hair. The only thing that moved was that there were many people, and the two sides of the Huangshui River were full of Qiang people.

"There are more than 20,000 people." Li Qi glanced at him and gave a more accurate judgment. "I think our army should take the lead and attack the chariots of the army with heavy cavalry."

Through the Qiang people's military formation, if it was considered a military formation, Li Qi saw a military carriage with flags floating behind the central army, and that should be the Qiang people's hero.

"No need. You stop here and don't go forward." Xiong Jing said.
