Xiao Yi drove his dark clouds to gallop across them like snow and gallop, and ran towards the young and old. Behind him, Fu Yunhe and Guan Yubai also followed each other.
The young and old also heard the sound of horseshoes, and when they heard it, they all looked happy.
"Maternal grandfather!" Xiao Yixi called out of hope, stopping Wuyun Taxue in front of the two, and then flew off the horse.
A blue straight Lin Jingchen with long beards, looked at Xiao Yi with a smile and said, "A Yi, I heard that you have recovered Yanding City and Yongjia City, very good, very good!"
Lin Jingchen's kindness showed a pride of his elders: his granddaughter's vision of picking his granddaughter was really good. Ai really has a general style!
At the back, Chang Huaixi looked stiff for a moment, thankfully he didn't have time to say that.
"I remember it!" At this moment, Yu Xiufan next to him excitedly punched his left palm with his right fist. "It seems that girl knows Dasao? I remember seeing it at Tayun Restaurant last time ..."
Yu Xiufan was still talking, but Chang Huaixi didn't want to listen anymore. He gave him a slight glance, and gave him three words in his heart.
Fu Yunhe was also pleasantly surprised, and blurted out: "Mr. Lin, cousin Xia, why are you here?"
His title to Han Qixia drew a slightly surprised look from the official Guan Bai in the rear. The official Bai was thoughtful and didn't say much.
"His cousin, Ai." Han Qixia also smiled and greeted the two, and then explained, "My grandfather and I came here to collect medicine. There is a herb that grows near the swamp, and I found a few places The swamp was not found, so I ran here ... Luckily, there was a harvest. "The bamboo rafters behind her had already been filled with many herbs.
At this time, the dismissed Guan Yubai also walked over and hugged fistfully in front of Lin Jingchen and Han Qixia: "Doctor Lin, girl Han, don't come here?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe were both surprised, Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Maternal grandfather, do you know Xiaobai?"
"It's just one side." Lin Jingchen said, inspecting Guan Yubai for a while, and then said, "Official son, let me give you a pulse."
"Thank you, Doctor Lin." Guan Yubai passed his left wrist obediently, Lin Jingchen slightly raised his right hand's sleeve, and stretched out three fingers on Guan Yubai's left wrist.
Aside from Han Yixia and Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe, she and Lin Jingchen ran into an unofficial incident in a hotel in Hecheng.
Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe listened with interest, Xiao Yi sighed with a smile: "This is a coincidence!"
Xiao Yi's heart was quite emotional: it really touched the whole body. If Xiaobai hadn't been cured by his grandfather, Xiaobai would probably be on the road for a few more days and miss the Nanliang people. Without Xiaobai's homeopathy, the battle on his own side would not be so smooth!
Lin Jingchen retracted his hand and groaned for a moment, and said, "Government son, you were recuperating well a few days ago ... but you are tired again these days. With your body, you still need to pay more attention."
Originally, the expressionless little four showed off with Lin Jingchen's words, and then frowned, and could not hide the tension between the eyebrows.
Xiao Yi stared at Lin Jingchen and said, "Maternal grandfather, it's better to meet by chance, would you give Xiaobai a few prescriptions to recuperate?"
Lin Jingchen responded quickly.
"Thank you, Doctor Lin." Guan Han thanked Lin Jingchen with a smile.
At this moment, Xiao Yi smiled, and said positively: "Maternal grandfather, although Yanding City has recovered, but the neighborhood is still not very peaceful, there may still be Nanliang people and Liu Kou running ... You might as well follow me in Yanding City Stay for a while and wait for the situation to stabilize before moving on. "
Xiao Yi was very kind, and Lin Jingchen was not a person who didn't know what to do. He agreed without saying a word.
"Maternal grandfather, please ride my horse!" Yu Xiufan smiled diligently, learning from Xiao Yi directly to call his grandfather, while turning over and dismounting.
Seeing Xiu Fan's self-familiarity, Chang Huaixi's eyes fluttered again. The next moment, he saw the guy walking towards himself, trying to squeeze a horse with his cheek.
Bamboo spontaneously gave up His Majesty to Han Qixia, and went to squeeze with Xiaosi by himself.
A group of horses returned to Yanding City.
The soldiers sent out in the sentryhouse saw Xiao Yi and his team returning from a distance. Although strangely, there were two more people, but no one questioned anything. Before Xiao Yi and his team approached, the guards had already opened the city. The gate welcomed them into the city.
They drove their horses slowly.
At this time, the sun was already west, and the bright afterglow covered the city walls, roofs, treetops, and ground with a layer of blood. The streets were empty and few people moved around. Now, the restaurants and shops closed their doors and looked Go, the whole town is exuding a sense of bleakness and ruin in the calm.
Han Qixia grasped Ma Sheng subconsciously. Although she did not see the war here in person, these days she went south to collect medicines and cure diseases, but she passed through several villages and towns that had been burned by war. Heartache. Let her experience the cruelty, the cruelty of war!
It's not early now, and Xiao Yi hasn't taken Lin Jingchen to hang out in the city, and took them back to the guarding house to settle directly. Afterwards, they hosted a feast for the two.
To say it is a feast for the wind, in fact, they are gathered together for a meal, and the table is nothing more than eight dishes and one soup. Moreover, because the army is not allowed to drink alcohol, it can only be replaced by tea, which is very simple.
Now that the city of Yanding is about to be abandoned, most of the original grain in the city has been looted by the Nanliang soldiers. Even if a batch of grain and grass were sent urgently from Luo Yue City, it can only solve the urgent need. At this time, Xiao Yi was the town. Nan Wangshizi, naturally, must set an example and should not be extravagant.
However, the cooks in the Shoubei government are very good. In addition, Xiaohui has added a dish of amaranth to the hunting hare, and Lin Jingchen and Han Qixia are not picky. The two of them have been saving medicine in the lay medicine. It ’s easy to be simple, and everyone is happy with this meal.
Only Fu Yunhe's expression was weird, and he looked at Han Qixia from time to time. If he hadn't grown up together, he wouldn't dare to recognize cousin Xia, but in just a few months, cousin Xia not only changed greatly in appearance, clothing, and temperament, but also in diet—see her now Although Swan ’s eating looks like, this appetite is already comparable to a big man ...
Is this really the eldest daughter of Wang Qi who he knew before? !! Fu Yunhe had an indescribable taste in his heart.
After dinner, everyone went back to rest.
No matter Lin Jingchen and Han Qixia, or Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai, they were tired all day, everyone slept and slept, and the night was getting darker, and the whole Yanding City fell into sleep, silent ...
Suddenly, a red horse rushed into the garrison, as if a drop of water fell into a hot oil pan, and suddenly the sleeping mansion was awakened.
"Sir, I have something to ask for!"
A soldier rolled over from the red horse and shouted eagerly, and immediately Xiao Xiao led the way to Xiao Yi's residence.
Step on ...
Xiao Yi, who was sleeping in peace, opened his eyes when he heard the messy footsteps outside, and suddenly he got up.
Although it is said that Yanding City has been recovered, the war has not subsided. Therefore, these days, Xiao Yi has been on standby at all times, leaving the body in a high alert to respond to various unexpected situations.
Bamboo ran halfway into the inner room, and yelled, "Shizi, something happened at the Youyu camp ..."
Xiao Yi brushed his robes at will, and strode from the inner room to the outside hall.
The soldier had just entered the room, and immediately knelt down with one sweat on his knees, marching in courteous manner: "Sir, there are hundreds of soldiers in Youling camp who have eaten their stomachs. Two hours ago, someone had vomiting and diarrhea I still have diarrhea. "
Xiao Yi stared.
Since winning Yanding City and Yongjia City, Xiao Yi has appointed a Peregrine Falcon Battalion to be in charge of the patrol and security around. On the one hand, it is to search for nearby enemy forces and rogues who have leaked the net. On the other hand, the most important reason is to guard against the sudden attack of the Nanliang army.
"Have you ever seen a medic?" Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice.
The soldier rushed back with a fist and said, "Returned grandfather, the medic said that he had gastrointestinal upset ... he prescribed the prescription, but after taking a dose, it had no effect."
Xiao Yi's eyebrows were locked tightly, how could so many people suddenly have gastrointestinal discomfort! Could it be that there is something wrong with the forage?
Xiao Yi groaned for a moment and instructed: "Send two more medics over and ask carefully what they have eaten."
The soldier respected him, and then hurriedly retreated.
The night is deeper ...
...
Dawn dawn.
Bixiaotang's Tingyu Pavilion welcomed two guests. One was an old man wearing a blue robe, lean and capable; the other was a middle-aged man nearly forty years old, tall and strong, with dark skin.
"Old lady!" The old man, also known as Mr. Zhao, respectfully confronted Fang old lady on the wheelchair, "You asked the forging master who was found by the younger to bring the younger." Then he introduced the middle-aged man beside him. People, "This is Zhang Zhu."
The middle-aged man, Zhang Zhu, bowed his head and saluted, "I've seen the old lady."
"Zhang Zhu ..." Old Fang seemed to think of something, "Is it Zhang's ..."
Mr. Zhao responded, "Yes, it is the eldest son of the old Zhang family. The craftsmanship forged by one hand is quite blue." Over the years, Fang Chengxun managed the affairs of the Fang family and naturally promoted many of his own close friends, but like Masters such as forging masters pay attention to practical techniques, but they cannot be easily replaced. What's more, the forging of the Zhang family has been passed down for three generations, and their own skills are not unique to outsiders.
Zhang Zhu was a little terrified and said modestly: "It's still far from small."
Mrs. Fang asked Zhao Daguan to bring people in person, just to see if the character of this forgeman was credible. After all, this matter is important and must be carried out in secret. Never let the news go through.
Now, after seeing the deceased, Mrs. Fang was relieved.
He took out a piece of densely written paper and handed it to Zhang Zhu, saying, "Look at this ..."
This paper was not the one that Guan Yubai gave to Fang's grandfather before, but it was copied again by Fang's grandfather, removing the content about the arrows, leaving only the smelting-related parts.
Zhang Zhu took it respectfully, only to see a few lines, just to see the light, originally looking at some Mu Na's face moved a lot, eagerly looked down, and then excitedly looked up at the other side of the old lady and fisted: " Granny, can you give it a try? "
Insiders looked at the door, Zhang Zhu made a rough look, and he understood the value of the paper in his hand. He suddenly felt heavy. Once this new metal was forged, it was not only tougher than iron, but also much cheaper. Its value is self-evident.
Old Fang smiled slightly: "How confident are you?"
Zhang Zhu's face hesitated, and after a deep groan, he said, "70%, no, go back and discuss with Dad, you should have 80% confidence that you can make it!" He was almost impatient to try it. .
"Good!" Fang Fang nodded and said, "The matter will be left to you. This matter is important, and you must understand it. First of all, it must be done in private. Except your father, you cannot let others know This paper must be kept in a safe place. Secondly, this matter is urgent and you must hurry up. "
"Yes, old lady." Zhang Zhuping recovered his excitement, calmed down, and fisted for life.
Mrs. Fang reprimanded Mr. Zhao, and sent them away.
Mrs. Fang sat in a wheelchair and looked back at the departure of Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhang Zhu.
After the Yangtze River pushed the waves forward, he was old, old Zhao was old, and old Zhang was also old ... I will see Ai and Yubai these young people in the future, but no one in their family ...
Mrs. Fang's eyes were slightly darkened, and she said to Xiaoyan, "Bluestone, push me to the study."
Xiaoyan Qingshi was naturally busy, and after Fang entered the study, he was sent out, and then he kept himself in the room and did not even eat lunch.
Listening to the concerns of Yu Ge's descendants, they quietly sent someone to sue the emperor.
Soon, Nangong Yu came with Bai Hui. Nangong Yu knew that Zhao Daguan had brought people before, and only thought that there was something in Fang's house that made Fang old unhappy.
"Maternal grandfather ..." Nangong Chan raised his curtains into the study. Old Fang was sitting by the window. The sunlight cast a mottled light on his face through the shade of the tree.
"Maternal grandfather, Mr. Qingshi told me that you did not have lunch, but where is your discomfort?" Nangong Ai said with concern. "How about me to find out for you?"
Fang Fang was originally in a bad mood for the Fang family to show their slump. When Nangong was worried about himself, he wanted to say that he was all right, and suddenly he thought, and sighed sigh: "... Ah, I'm fine. Ayi It's been several months since I went on the expedition, and I just worry about him. I have no appetite ... "
Nangong hesitated and comforted: "Grandfather, Ai has won Yanding City and Yongjia City, and we are waiting for him to return triumphantly."
"Ah, Grandma, I naturally believe that Ai will definitely defeat Nanliang and return triumphantly, but for so many months, Ai has been alone, and there is no one who knows hot and cold ..." Mrs. Fang While sighing and sighing, he secretly looked at Nangong's look, "Ama, if you can go to Huiling City to take care of Ai, I'm relieved."
Ever since Guan Yubai proposed that Nangong Lao go to Huiling City, Mrs. Fang has been wondering how to convince Nangong Lao. Now this opportunity is just right, let his old man pretend to be poor for his grandson.
Nangong trembled her eyelashes. Of course, she also missed Xiao Yi and wanted to see Xiao Yi in Huiling City. There are just too many concerns in my heart.
Once, Mrs. Fang was in the palace without anyone to take care of it. Secondly, she made every effort to bring the situation of the palace to where she is today. If she was absent, the king of Zhennan was "careless" and coaxed back by Xiaofang , All that was done before was completely discarded.
Mrs. Fang naturally saw that Nangong Yu had moved, but she was also jealous. He continued and said, "Ah, if I am not good, I really want to go to Huiling City to see Ai, You should do it for me ... "
Before he finished speaking, he heard a girl outside the house saying, "Old lady, the four old ladies are here, and I want to see the old lady."
Fang Fang's entire face suddenly gloomy, almost dripping water, and said coldly: "No! Let him go back!" Don't see, Fang Fang also knows that Fang Si Fang came to find out what he did, and Not just for their careless thoughts, but also for the Fang family ...
Old Fang now feels disgusted at the thought of their faces.
The girl-in-law responded outside and hurried away.
Mrs. Fang rubbed her eyebrows, then raised her head to meet Nangong's clear eyes, and said helplessly: "Ama, Fang's family has leaned against Zhennan's palace in these years, and the days are too smooth, and some do not know the heights and heights." Here, he couldn't help sneering, "The door wind has fallen here, and the ancestors of the Fang family may know it underground, and it will be difficult to stare."
He is a long-family man, who originally had the responsibility to control Fang's family, but he did not fulfill this responsibility. Whenever I think of this, Old Fang's mood will be somewhat depressed.
Nangong Yan half-closed his eyes, a moment of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but in the end he still bluntly said: "Grandfather, Fang's family wants to marry another Fang's girl to enter the palace?" Did not say it.
Mrs. Fang's eyes were slightly enlarged. I did not expect that Nangong Yan had already noticed it, lest she misunderstand and eagerly explained: "Ah, don't worry, I will never agree to such ridiculous ideas!"
"Maternal grandfather, don't worry." Nangong groaned and poured a cup of tea for Old Fang, saying lightly, "If Old Fang Four really wants to marry Fang's girl into the palace, it's not bad ..."
Mrs. Fang was about to persuade her not to be confused, and suddenly realized that she was talking about Wangfu instead of Bixiaotang.
Nan Gongxi carefully presented the poured tea to Mrs. Fang and said meaningfully: "Maternal grandfather, in this case, the father and the king will definitely not refuse." The king of the south of the town never refused to come to the door. Dependent, "Why do you do that wicked man?"
Mrs. Fang smiled bitterly and said, "Ah, Fang's family was sheltered by the Zhennan King's House by the two girls who married into the King's House. , So that now instead of thinking of cultivating outstanding children, but still want to rely on Fang's girl for Fang's glory and wealth. In this way, within three generations, Fang's family will die ... "Although he is not Fang now The patriarch of the family did not want to watch Fang Jiajiye be destroyed.
Nangong Gong understands the helplessness of Old Fang's heart, and said, "Maternal grandfather, because of this, you don't need to interfere too much. Today's Fang family is 'safe and forget, save and die'" When they really have to suffer, they will understand it. There is a saying: 'Do not break and stand, break and stand', even if it will cause great damage to the vitality, it is better, the scourge of the dead in the future. ... You are here, at least in the Fang family There is hope. "
Mrs. Fang couldn't help thinking.
Yes, once, Fang's family could survive for three hundred years in southern Xinjiang, relying on the concerted efforts of the children of a family to rise up against the turbulent southern Xinjiang, but in the past ten years, there is no danger in their side, they live all day long In the dream, even day by day.
Now even if they persuade and pull again, they will only think that they are old and confused, regardless of the honor and disgrace of Fang's family. I still have a few years of good life, even if I have repeatedly arrested Fang's fool, when I go, Fang's family has no outstanding children to inherit, so it will inevitably decline. Rather than let them run into their own blood. Only when it really hurts will it be remembered. While I'm still alive, there will be a chance to help Fang reshape the lintel.
