Chapter 705 Feng Quji's Helplessness
After clearing out a large open space where you can see the sky.
Soldiers repositioned their tents along the edge of the clearing.
In this way, the tent can hide in the shade of the big tree, but at the same time it will not be completely covered by the humidity of the jungle.
After adopting such a method, it really had a remarkable effect.
Those soldiers who had symptoms of acclimatization have obviously improved.
Although it is impossible to recover within a day or two, as long as the symptoms are alleviated, it means that they can carry it for a longer time.
Even if it is only half a day, it is very precious time for them.
The only thing they need to do now is to wait for the news from the three waves of pathfinding teams.
At this time, Qinglong is very much looking forward to the good news they can bring back.
If this dense jungle is not particularly large, then he will lead the soldiers to march directly and quickly, and rush out.
However, this is only what he expects to see, and the actual situation is still uncertain.
Now he can only wait.
What worried Qinglong the most was that the medicines they brought were almost used up.
In desperation, he could only ask the accompanying doctor to go to the jungle to see if he could find any herbal medicine to relieve the soldier's illness.
Fortunately, this jungle is lush with many herbs.
The accompanying doctors were all experienced veterans, and soon they found a lot of precious medicinal materials.
Although these medicinal materials cannot completely cure the soldiers' illnesses, they can still relieve them.
It was getting dark, and the sick soldiers had already drank the boiled herbal medicine.
The patrolling soldiers were naturally more cautious at this time.
They chose to set up camp here, Qinglong judged their whereabouts, it is very likely that they have been under the surveillance of those natives.
So he set up a lot of bright and dark sentries on the outskirts of the camp, in order to prevent the enemy from raiding at night.
Although this place is extremely hot and humid, the jungle is very humid because of the perennial rain.
Therefore, even if they set up camp in the jungle, it is basically impossible for the enemy to use fire attack.
After one night, the soldier who drank the herbal medicine last night was still in good spirits and showed obvious signs of improvement.
This is great news for the entire advance force.
If all the soldiers can overcome the symptoms in the jungle, then there will be no problem with their marching speed, even if it is slower.
At this moment, what they are waiting for is the news brought back by the team sent out to explore the way.
At noon, the three groups of soldiers returned to the army respectively.
They brought good news. If the advance team marched at full speed, they could walk out of this dense jungle in two days.
This is good news for everyone, because walking out of this dense jungle will not be far from completing the task.
So Qinglong decisively ordered that the army advance at full speed, trying to rush out within two days.
In such an environment, the soldiers of the Qin Army were also uncomfortable.
When they heard that they could leave this ghost place within two days, everyone became excited.
The morale of the soldiers was boosted, and the marching speed increased a little.
In the territory of Daqin, in the city of Xianyang, Feng Mansion.
At this moment, an old man with white hair was sitting calmly in Feng Quji's bedroom.
This is the fourth time the old man has come to Feng Quji's mansion.
At this moment, Feng Quji was haggard, with sunken eye sockets, lying on the bed, his whole spirit looked very sluggish.
This is exactly the image of a dying person.
Feng Quji himself was not young, and during this period of time, he had been unable to sleep at night and suffered a lot.
The white-haired old man, after drinking tea, got up and came to Feng Qujiu, smiled and said:
"Master Feng, can you listen to the old man finish his speech today?"
Hearing the old man's words, Feng Quji showed a wry smile on his face.
He felt helpless, for what this old man was going to do, he didn't want to know at all, nor did he want to understand or get involved.
But at this moment, he has no other choice. After all, his wealth and life are in the hands of the other party. .
If he doesn't agree to this old man, he doesn't know how long he will be tortured.
No one knew his body better than himself, and Feng Quji knew that he was about to fail.
In desperation, he only said weakly: "If you have anything to say, old man, please speak up."
Feng Quji is not a rigid person, he naturally has his plans in mind, he only promised to listen to the old man's words, but he didn't agree, he must do things with him.
For his own wealth and life, of course he can only have such a choice.
"Master Feng's illness is actually nothing. It will recover after a night of sleep, so there is no need to worry."
Hearing the old man's words, Feng Quji suddenly had the urge to curse.
Just take a nap, if he can fall asleep, what about his current appearance?
But then, Feng Quji immediately understood what the old man meant.
Could it be that his illness has been cured?
Feng Quji was very puzzled, because he didn't see any movement of the old man, and the two didn't even have physical contact.
After thinking about it, Feng Quji chose to believe the old man's words.
Because the old man just came here and met him that day, and he also didn't do anything at that time.
But after the old man left, Feng Quji became unable to sleep every night and suffered great torture and pain.
He couldn't figure out how the old man did it, and he couldn't figure out how the old man made his illness disappear.
Since the other party has said that there is no problem, he can only believe it.
"The emperor is not in Daqin at the moment. Does Mr. Feng know what this means?"
Still the same question, the old man has already raised it more than once.
The old man mentioned this matter many times, fearing that he wanted to do something that could only be done when the emperor was away.
As for what he wanted to do, Feng Quji couldn't guess.
"His Majesty the Emperor personally went overseas for the sake of the Great Qin. This is well known in the world. When you mention this, sir, what do you want to do?"
Although Feng Quji knew the meaning of the old man's words, it was impossible for him to tell the truth, and instead he continued to pretend to be stupid.
When he said this, he naturally wanted to express his position.
Even if the emperor is not around, I am still a subject of the emperor, and I have to think about this country.
"Master Feng, do you know when the emperor will come back?"
When did Ying Yu come back? Although Feng Quji didn't know the exact timing, he knew a general idea.
Because before Ying Yu left, he had personally looked for him.
In addition to entrusting him with a heavy responsibility, it also explained how long it would take for him to leave this time.
This is considered confidential and cannot be made public.
At this moment, Feng Quji probably already guessed in his heart what the old man wanted to do with him.
