Chapter 120

In the lobby of the inn, the second child put the food on Tang Qingru's table and sighed weakly.

Tang Qingru looked at the little second brother and said with a smile, "little second brother, what are you sighing about?"

"Little girl, you have a big heart. It's like this outside. I also have family. I'm afraid of it! Once the war goes on, we men will be caught in the first place. The men are done, and then the women. Anyway, as long as there is a war, many people will die. "

Tang Qingru admits that the sophomore has a point. So how she wanted to solve the problem without fighting.

"If we continue to fight like this, there will be corpses everywhere outside, and we will be deprived of food and water inside. Even if we don't fight, we will be trapped inside." The shopkeeper said not far away, "I went to buy rice just now, but it's already 50 Wen a Jin. Fortunately, I saved some silver to buy such expensive rice. What about those poor people? When the war broke out, it was always our common people who suffered. "

"In that case, it's better to let the city master surrender. I heard that King Qing didn't kill the soldiers. If we go down, everyone will be safe. "

"Shh! You don't want to live? You can say that. If you want to die, don't bother us! Not long ago, someone said this. He was captured by the Lord's own soldiers and sent directly to the battlefield to fight. If you put it in normal time, I'm afraid I'll give you a wipe on the spot. "

"No, little girl, you are so brave!" Little two also looked at him with incredible eyes.

Tang Qingru shrugged and said helplessly, "am I not frightened? I'm a woman. When I hear about war, I'm only more afraid than you men. "

"That's true, poor girl." Xiao Er looks at her sympathetically. "But there's one more thing to tell you. You may feel even more sad after hearing it."

"What?" Tang Qingru looks at Xiao er.

"The rice outside is so expensive. If we want to continue to run the inn, we have to Price increases. Girl, understand us. We really have no way. Fifty Wen a catty of rice and ten Wen a catty of cabbage, if they were at the original price, would be a big loss. "

Tang Qingru thought he wanted to say something. Since it's about money, there's nothing to worry about. This time she guessed that she needed silver, so she took a lot of silver in the space. In order to make it easy to use, she also changed all the banknotes into silver. So now there are hundreds of thousands of silver in space.

Some of the silver belongs to her, and some belongs to Nalan Ling. Nalanling asked her to keep it, saying that she would wait for him to marry his daughter-in-law.

In fact, Tang Qingru understood what he meant. He was worried about his own accident, so he arranged her way ahead of time. After all, she is a weak woman. If she wants to avoid being tracked by others, she can just hide in a small mountain village. It's easy to disguise as long as she wants to.

"I see what you mean. Don't worry. I won't let you suffer. " Tang Qingru lightly said: "nothing else, right?"

Looking at the silver spindle Tang Qingru took out, the second brother couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

"No more. Girls can live here as long as they want. If there is chaos outside, don't hurt the girl. "

Tang Qingru went upstairs. She lay in bed to rest. But outside came the sound of tearing, screaming, swearing, and cold weapons piercing the body. So much noise came, even if she gave herself a lot of psychological preparation, there was no way to do it.

These days, Tang Qingru did not go out. She stayed in her room for three days and three nights. There was a lot of tearing outside.

On the fourth day, Tang Qingru couldn't stand the dull atmosphere, and finally went out.

When she went downstairs, she found that only the shopkeeper was sleeping there. His eyes were blue below, and he obviously didn't sleep well.

"Shopkeeper's "Tang Qingru knocked on the counter. "Why are you alone? Didn't you have three guys here the other day? Is there no business for them to go home and stay with their relatives? "

"I think so! They were taken to war. " The shopkeeper said angrily, "what a sin! The young man had just been married for a year, and his daughter-in-law was very worried about him. Why do the powerful and powerful fight for fame and fortune there, and it is us common people who sacrifice their lives? "

"I've been fighting for so many days, but I haven't got a result yet!" Tang Qingru said with a frown.

"I'm afraid it's hard to get a result in this way. The people are in dire straits... "

Tang Qingru looked out at the empty streets and the closed shops. She knew it couldn't be delayed any longer.

"Shopkeeper, prepare a bowl of noodles for me. I'll go out later. Hurry up."

The shopkeeper looks at Tang Qingru with strange eyes.

"Little girl, what time is it now? How dare you go out? It's good to be brave, little girl, but don't kill yourself. "

"I have a relative in town, and I want to see him. He also has men in his family. Don't get caught too. "

"That must have been caught. After three days of fighting, many people died! Anyone over the age of 25 was taken. If we go on like this, we old men will not be spared. At least we haven't done anything to our old men yet. "After eating noodles, Tang Qingru went to the military adviser's home.

The doctor made it clear a few days ago. The soldier's home is not far from the Lord's mansion. It was a big courtyard with four in and three out, which showed that he was highly valued by the city master of Wuxi. And it's hard for such a person to persuade him. It would be dangerous to expose her identity.

Dong Dong! Tang Qingru knocked on the door.

"Girl, who are you looking for?" An old man saw Tang Qingru and looked at her warily. "I haven't seen you before. You're not local?"

Tang Qingru also knows that it's an eventful time, and it's impossible to let the other party believe her. Besides, she didn't want to spend time explaining anything, so she just said, "I'm looking for Mr. Li. There's something for him in the Lord's mansion. "

"Are you from the Lord's mansion? Haven't you seen it before? Our master just came back from the gate of the city. He was seriously injured and couldn't get out of bed! "

"I'm just talking to him. I have a few words to tell him not to work too hard." Tang Qingru said again.

"Well! Just a moment. I'll go to the master immediately

The gatekeeper didn't go in for long and came out soon. He said to Tang Qingru, "go in!"

Tang Qingru followed the gatekeeper into the inner room. At this time, a doctor was administering medicine to a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was in a mess. He didn't have a good piece of meat all over his body. His wounds were also injured with various weapons.

Tang Qingru didn't speak, but waited for the middle-aged man to take medicine. After waiting for a while, the doctor finally finished the medicine.

"Are you the maid of the house? You must remember that Mr. Li is seriously injured. You can't let him get out of bed recently, let alone let her touch the wound. His injuries are so serious that there is no delay at all. "

Tang Qingru did not explain her identity. She nodded in response to the doctor's words.

The middle-aged man was half unconscious and half awake, and he was lying on his stomach, so he didn't see Tang Qingru. When the doctor left, Tang Qingru sat up with the middle-aged man. He saw a strange woman in the room.

"Who are you?"

Tang Qingru said lightly: "just now I let the boss at the door pass the message. Didn't Mr. Li agree me to come in?"

"It's you. What can I do for you? I thought it was a relative of my family. It seems that I was wrong. "

"I want to have a few words with the adults. Don't worry, just a few words. I'll leave as soon as I finish. It won't delay your rest. "

Tang Qingru sat down beside him and said to Mr. Li, "this war lasted five days. Thousands of people died, right?"

"What are you? Are you a woman who can talk about things in the court? " Doctor Li said sharply, "are you a spy sent by the enemy? Are you not afraid that I will send someone to arrest you? "

"I have nothing to be afraid of, because I'm not a spy. I just can't bear to see that people are living in poverty. I want to talk about the future of Wuxi City with adults. "

"Girl, you'd better give me your name first! Tell me who you are and where you come from Mr. Li said weakly.

Tang Qingru faint smile: "I am a doctor."

Tang Qingru said and put a pill in front of Mr. Li: "my medical skill is definitely better than the doctor you just invited. If you believe it, eat it, and you can get out of bed and walk about in an hour. "

"Oh! Is there such a magic medicine in the world? Girl, are you kidding me? Look, you're not very old. How can you have such excellent craftsmanship? "

"Nothing is impossible in this world." "Why don't you believe me?" Tang Qingru said with a smile

Mr. Li hesitated for a moment, took her pill and thrust it into his mouth.

This time, Tang Qingru was surprised. She said with a light smile, "are you not afraid of my medicine?"

"What am I afraid of? Now that I'm hurt like this, even a child can kill me. If your goal is my life, you don't have to talk so much nonsense to me, just kill me. So your purpose is not my life. Just trust you once. "

"Lord Li deserves to be the real king of Wuxi City." Tang Qingru smiles.

"No nonsense. Is it possible to say such a thing? " Doctor Li frowned and looked around warily. It's a relief to make sure there's no one else.

After taking the medicine, Mr. Li's face looked better. "It's really a good medicine," he said in surprise. As soon as I eat it, the wound doesn't hurt that much anymore. "

Tang Qingru smile: "I said, I am a doctor, very interested doctor. My Lord should believe it now. "

"Then, doctor, what do you want to talk to me about? If you want to cure my wounds, I'm willing to hire you with a lot of money. Please stay to cure our soldiers. They need you more. "

"If I were an adult, I should find a way to stop the war now, so that they don't have to see the doctor."
