Xiao Yi drove the dark clouds under his crotch to gallop past them like lightning, towards the old and the young. Behind him, Fu Yunhe and Guan Yubai also followed one after another. past.
The old man and the young man also heard the sound of horse hooves, and looked over with joy on their faces.
"Grandpa!" Xiao Yi called overjoyed, stopped Wuyun Taxue in front of the two of them, and then flew off his horse.
Lin Jingchen, who was dressed in a straight green robe, stroked his long beard, looked at Xiao Yi with a smile, and said: "Ayi, I heard that you have recovered Yanding City and Yongjia City. Very good, very good!"
Lin Jingchen had a loving look on his face, but there was also a hint of pride unique to his elders: his granddaughter had a good eye for choosing her son-in-law. A Yi really has the style of a general!
Chang Huaixi's expression in the back froze for a moment, and he was glad that he didn't have time to say what he just said.
"I remember!" At this time, Yu Xiufan beside him excitedly punched his left palm with his right fist, "That girl seems to know the sister-in-law, right? I remember I met her last time at the Tayun Restaurant ..."
Yu Xiufan was still talking nonstop, but Chang Huaixi didn't want to listen anymore. She glanced at him lightly and said three words in her heart: hindsight.
Fu Yunhe was also overjoyed and blurted out: "Mr. Lin, Cousin Xia, why are you here?"
His name for Han Qixia attracted a slightly surprised look from Guan Yubai in the rear. Guan Yubai was thoughtful and didn't say much.
"Cousin Crane, Ayi." Han Qixia also greeted the two of them with a smile, and then explained, "My grandfather and I came here to collect medicine. There is a kind of medicinal herb that grows especially near the swamp. My grandfather and I looked for it. I went to several swamps but couldn't find anything, so I ran here... Fortunately, I still got something." There were already a lot of medicinal herbs in the bamboo basket behind her.
At this time, Guan Yubai, who had dismounted, strolled over and clasped his fists at Lin Jingchen and Han Qixia with a smile: "Old Doctor Lin, Miss Han, are you okay?"
Seeing this, both Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe looked surprised. Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Grandpa, do you know Xiao Bai?"
"It's just a one-time relationship." Lin Jingchen said, while examining Guan Yubai, and then said, "Master Guan, let me check your pulse."
"Thank you, Dr. Lin." Guan Yubai obediently handed over his left wrist. Lin Jingchen slightly lifted the sleeve of his right hand and stretched out three fingers to rest on Guan Yubai's left wrist.
Han Qixia on the side talked to Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe about the time when she and Lin Jingchen met Guan Yubai in an inn in Heyucheng.
Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe listened with great interest. Xiao Yi smiled and sighed: "What a coincidence!"
Xiao Yi felt quite emotional in his heart: This really affects the whole body. If his grandfather had not cured Xiaobai, Xiaobai might have been delayed for a few more days on the road and missed the Nanliang kidnapping. Without Xiaobai's plan, the war on his side would not be so smooth!
Lin Jingchen took back his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said: "My lord, you had a good rest in the past few days...but you have been tired these past few days. Considering your body, you still need to pay more attention."
Xiaosi, who was originally expressionless, immediately showed his face as Lin Jingchen spoke, and then frowned, unable to hide the nervousness between his brows.
Xiao Yi looked at Lin Jingchen longingly and said, "Grandpa, it's better to meet by chance. Can you give Xiaobai some prescriptions to nurse him back to health?"
Lin Jingchen readily agreed.
"Thank you, old doctor Lin." Guan Yubai smiled and thanked Lin Jingchen.
At this time, Xiao Yi's smile faded and he said seriously: "Grandpa, although Yanding City has been recovered, the area is still not peaceful. There may still be Nanliang and rogue bandits running around... Why don't you stay with me? Stay in Yanding City for a while and wait until the situation becomes more stable before leaving."
Xiao Yi had good intentions, and Lin Jingchen was not a ungrateful person, so he agreed without saying a word.
"Grandpa, please ride my horse!" Yu Xiufan smiled enthusiastically, directly imitating Xiao Yi in calling his grandfather, and at the same time he got off the horse.
Seeing the familiar look on Yu Xiufan's face, Chang Huaixi's eyes twitched again. The next moment, he saw the guy walking towards him, brazenly trying to compete with him.
Zhuzi also spontaneously gave up the horse under his crotch to Han Qixia, and went to squeeze in with Xiaosi.
The group rode back to Yanding City.
The soldiers on guard at the sentry tower saw Xiao Yi and his party returning from a distance. Although they were surprised that there were two more people, no one questioned anything. Before Xiao Yi and his party came closer, the guards had already The city gates were opened wide to welcome them into the city.
Everyone drove their horses slowly.
At this time, the sun has set to the west, and the bright afterglow has covered the city walls, roofs, treetops and the ground with a layer of blood. The streets are empty, with few people walking around, and the restaurants and shops are now closed. , at a glance, the whole town exudes a desolate and dilapidated atmosphere in its tranquility.
Han Qixia subconsciously grasped the horse rope. Although she did not see the war here with her own eyes, these days when she went south to collect medicine and treat diseases, she passed through several villages and towns that had been devastated by war. Every time, she was disappointed. There is a feeling almost heartache. Let her realize what cruelty is, the cruelty of war!
It was getting late now, so Xiao Yi did not take Lin Jingchen to wander around the city, but took them directly back to the garrison to settle down. Afterwards, a reception banquet was held to entertain the two of them.
It was said to be a reception banquet, but in fact it was just a few of them getting together to have a meal. There were only eight dishes and one soup on the table. Since alcohol was not allowed in the army, they could only have tea instead of wine, which was very simple.
Yanding City is now in a state of ruin, and most of the original food in the city has been looted by Nanliang soldiers. Even if a batch of food and grass is urgently sent from Luoyue City, it can only solve the urgent need. At this time, Xiao As the prince of Zhennan, Yi naturally had to set an example and should not be extravagant.
However, the cooks in the garrison mansion are very skilled, and Xiao Hui hunted a hare to add a meat dish to the table, and Lin Jingchen and Han Qixia are not picky either. They practice medicine and collect herbs outside, and they have always been able to save money. Save money, keep it simple if you can, and this meal will be enjoyed by both host and guest.
Only Fu Yunhe's expression was a little strange, and he looked at Han Qixia from time to time. If he hadn't grown up together, he would have never dared to recognize Cousin Xia. In just a few months, Cousin Xia's appearance, clothing, and temperament have not only undergone great changes, but her diet has also changed - look at her now Although his eating appearance is gentle, his appetite is comparable to that of a grown man...
Is this really the eldest daughter of King Qi that he knew before? ! Fu Yunhe felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
After dinner, everyone went back to rest.
Whether it was Lin Jingchen, Han Qixia, Xiao Yi, Guan Yubai and the others had worked hard all day, everyone fell asleep with their pillows on their pillows. The night was getting deeper, and the entire Yanding City fell into a slumber and silence. Silent...
Suddenly, a red horse rushed into the garrison mansion, like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, waking up the sleeping mansion.
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask you to see your Majesty!"
A soldier got off the red horse and shouted eagerly. Immediately, a boy led the way to Xiao Yi's residence.
Tap tap tap tap...
Xiao Yi, who was sleeping in his clothes, opened his eyes immediately when he heard the messy footsteps outside and stood up suddenly.
Although Yanding City has been recaptured, the war has not yet subsided. Therefore, Xiao Yi has been on standby these days, keeping his body on high alert to respond to various emergencies.
Zhuzi walked into the inner room half-running and said: "Master Shizi, something happened at the Youyou Camp..."
Xiao Yi casually brushed his robe and strode from the inner room to the main room outside.
As soon as the soldier entered the room, he immediately knelt down on one knee, sweating profusely, and performed a military salute: "Master, there are over a hundred soldiers in the Youyou camp who have eaten their stomachs. Two hours ago, some people appeared one after another. I had symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, and I still have diarrhea.”
Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed.
Since taking over Yanding City and Yongjia City, Xiao Yi appointed a cruising battalion to be responsible for patrolling and guarding the surrounding areas. On the one hand, it is to search for nearby enemy troops and bandits who have slipped through the net. On the other hand, the most important reason is to beware of a sudden attack by the Nanliang army.
"Have you asked the military doctor to take a look?" Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice.
The soldier hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "Come back, Master, the military doctor said it was gastrointestinal discomfort...he prescribed a prescription, but after taking one dose, it had no effect."
Xiao Yi frowned, how could so many people suddenly have gastrointestinal discomfort at the same time! Could it be that there is something wrong with the food and grass?
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Send two more military doctors over and ask them carefully what they have eaten."
The soldier responded respectfully, and then hurriedly left.
The night is getting deeper...
……
Dawn breaks.
Two guests were welcomed into the Tingyu Pavilion of Bixiaotang. One was an old man wearing a blue robe, lean and capable; the other was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and strong, with dark skin.
"Old Master!" The old man, who was Manager Zhao, bowed respectfully to Old Mrs. Fang in the wheelchair. "You asked me to find the forging master. I brought him here." He said, introducing him to his side. The middle-aged man said, "This is Zhang Zhu."
The middle-aged man Zhang Zhu also bowed his head and saluted: "I have seen the old man."
"Zhang Zhu..." Mr. Fang seemed to remember something, "Could it be Lao Zhang's..."
Manager Zhao responded: "Yes, he is the eldest son of the old Zhang family, and his forging skills are quite outstanding." Over the years, Fang Chengxun has been in charge of the Fang family's affairs, and has naturally promoted many of his close associates. , but masters like blacksmiths pay attention to real skills, but they cannot be easily replaced. What's more, the Zhang family's blacksmithing skills have been passed down for three generations, and they have their own unique secret skills that are not accessible to outsiders.
Zhang Zhu was a little frightened and said modestly: "The younger one is still far behind."
Mr. Fang asked Manager Zhao to bring the person in person, just to see if the blacksmith's character was trustworthy. After all, this matter was of great importance and must be carried out secretly, and no information could be allowed to leak out.
Now that he saw that he was an old friend, Mr. Fang felt a lot more relieved.
He took out a piece of paper with dense writing and handed it to Zhang Zhu, saying: "Take a look at this..."
This piece of paper is not the one that Guan Yubai gave to Mr. Fang before. It was excerpted by Mr. Fang again. The content about arrows was removed, leaving only the part related to smelting.
Zhang Zhu took it respectfully, and after reading a few lines, his eyes were shining brightly. His face that looked a little dull at first became more lively. He looked down eagerly, and then excitedly raised his head to the other party's old man, clasping his fists and asking for orders. Said: "Old Master, can you give it a try with the younger one?"
As an expert, Zhang Zhu understood the value of the piece of paper in his hand at a glance. His hand suddenly felt heavy. Once this new metal is forged, it is not only tougher than iron, but also more expensive. Much cheaper, its value is self-evident.
Mr. Fang smiled slightly: "How sure are you?"
Zhang Zhu showed hesitation, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Qi Cheng, no, I will go back and discuss it with my father. I should be 80% sure that it can be done!" He was almost impatient to go. Tried it.
"Okay!" Mr. Fang nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. This matter is of great importance. You must also understand that first of all, it must be done in private. No one except your father can let Others know that this piece of paper should be kept safe; secondly, this matter is extremely urgent, so you must hurry up."
"Yes, old master." Zhang Zhuping calmed down his excitement. After calming down, he cupped his fists and accepted the order.
Mr. Fang gave some instructions to Manager Zhao again and sent the two of them away.
Mr. Fang was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the departing figures of Manager Zhao and Zhang Zhu, feeling a little sad in his heart.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I am getting old, Lao Zhao is getting old, Lao Zhang is getting old... From now on, we will all look to young people like A Yi and Yu Bai, but their Fang family has no successors...
Mrs. Fang's eyes darkened slightly and he said to the boy: "Qingshi, push me to the study."
Of course, the young man Qingshi was too busy to obey. After Mr. Fang entered the study, he sent the young man out. After that, he locked himself in the room and never came out. He didn't even eat lunch.
The servants of Tingyu Pavilion were worried, so they quietly sent someone to report to the Crown Princess.
After a while, Nangong Yue came with Baihui. Nangong Yue knew that Manager Zhao had brought people here before, so she thought that there was something going on in the Fang family that displeased Mr. Fang.
"Grandpa..." Nangong Yue opened the curtain and entered the study. Old Mrs. Fang was sitting by the window. The sunlight cast mottled light and shadow on his face through the shade of the trees. It seemed that his expression was a little melancholy.
"Grandpa, someone from Qingshi told me that you didn't have lunch, but what's wrong with you?" Nangong Yue said with concern, "How about I check your pulse?"
Mrs. Fang was originally in a bad mood because of the declining situation of the Fang family. Seeing that Nangong Yue was worried about him, he was about to say that he was fine. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind and he sighed faintly: "...A Yue, I'm fine. . A Yi has been away on the war for several months. I am just worried about him and have no appetite..."
Nangong Yue hurriedly comforted him: "Grandpa, Ayi has already captured Yanding City and Yongjia City. We can just wait for his triumphant return."
"Hey, Ah Yue, I naturally believe that Ah Yi will be able to defeat Nanliang and return triumphantly, but for so many months, Ah Yi has been alone outside, with no one to take care of her... "Mr. Fang sighed while secretly looking at Nangong Yue's expression, "A Yue, if you can go to Huiling City to take care of A Yi, I will be relieved."
Since the last time Guan Yubai suggested that Nangong Yue go to Huiling City, Mr. Fang has been thinking about how to persuade Nangong Yue. Now that this opportunity is perfect, let him pretend to be pitiful for his grandson.
Nangong Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly. Of course she missed Xiao Yi very much and wanted to go to Huiling City to take the opportunity to see Xiao Yi. I just have too many worries in my heart.
Firstly, Mr. Fang is in the palace with no one to take care of him; secondly, he has worked hard to bring the situation of the palace to this point. If he is not there, the King of Zhennan will be "accidentally" taken care of by Xiao Fang. If you coax him back, all you have done before will be in vain.
Mr. Fang naturally saw that although Nangong Yue was interested, he had some scruples. He continued: "Ah Yue, if it weren't for my poor health, I really want to go to Huiling City to see it in person. Ayi, just take my place..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a maid outside the house saying: "Old Master, the fourth old master is here and wants to see the old master."
Old Mrs. Fang’s entire face suddenly became gloomy, almost dripping with water, and he said in a cold voice: “No! Let him go back!” Even without seeing him, Old Mrs. Fang also knew what Old Mrs. Fang Si was looking for. Yes, it’s not just because of their shady little thoughts, they keep saying that it’s for the Fang family...
Mr. Fang feels sick now when he thinks of their faces.
The maid answered outside and hurried away again.
Mr. Fang rubbed his eyebrows, then raised his head to meet Nangong Yue's clear eyes, and said helplessly: "Ah Yue, the Fang family has been relying on the Zhennan Palace for many years, and their life has been too smooth, and they don't know how high the sky is. "Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sneered, "With the decline of the family style, the ancestors of the Fang family may find it difficult to rest in peace."
As the eldest son, he had the responsibility to control the Fang family, but he failed to fulfill this responsibility. Every time he thinks about this, Mr. Fang feels a little depressed.
Nangong Yue half-closed her eyes, with a flash of hesitation in her eyes, but in the end she said bluntly: "Grandpa, do the Fang family want to marry another girl from the Fang family into the palace?" On the day of the Zhennan King's birthday banquet, Nangong Yue already had some vague ideas. I noticed it, I just didn’t say it out loud.
Mr. Fang’s eyes widened slightly. Unexpectedly, Nangong Yue had already noticed it. For fear of her misunderstanding, he explained eagerly: “Ayue, don’t worry, I will never agree to such a ridiculous idea!”
"Grandpa, please don't be anxious." Nangong Yue poured a cup of tea for Mr. Fang with a smile and said lightly, "If Mr. Fang Si really wants to marry a girl from the Fang family into the palace, it's not a bad idea..."
Mr. Fang was about to persuade her not to be confused, when he suddenly realized that she was talking about Wangfu, not Bixiaotang.
Nangong Yue carefully presented the poured tea to Mr. Fang and said meaningfully: "Grandpa, my father will definitely not refuse this matter." King Zhennan never refused to bring it to his door. "Why do you bother to be that 'evil person'."
Mr. Fang smiled bitterly and said: "Ah Yue, the Fang family has relied on the two girls who married into the palace to get the protection of Zhennan Palace and was not affected by the turmoil of the newly established Dayu Dynasty. Over the years, they have lived a good life. I am so comfortable that I don’t think about raising outstanding children now. Instead, I still want to rely on the girls of the Fang family in exchange for the prosperity and wealth of the Fang family. If this continues, the Fang family will die within three generations..." He is now Although he is not the patriarch of the Fang family, he does not want to watch the Fang family's foundation be destroyed.
Nangong Yue understood the helplessness in Mr. Fang's heart very well and said: "Grandpa, because of this, you don't need to interfere too much. Today, the Fang family has been 'safe and forgetting danger, surviving and forgetting death' ', only when they really suffer, will they understand. There is a saying: 'If you don't destroy, don't establish, destroy and then establish.' Even if your vitality is severely damaged, it will be better than the disaster of annihilation of the clan in the future. ...You are here, At least the Fang family still has hope."
Mr. Fang couldn't help but think deeply.
Yes, once upon a time, the Fang family was able to maintain its foothold in Southern Xinjiang for three hundred years only because the descendants of the family worked together to swim upstream in the turbulent Southern Xinjiang. However, in the past ten years, there has been no danger. They live in a dream all day long and become increasingly depressed.
No matter how much I try to persuade him now, they will only think that I am an old fool and that I don't care about the honor and disgrace of the Fang family. He still has a few good years to live. Even if he catches the Fang family in stupidity again and again, when he leaves, the Fang family will still inevitably decline without any outstanding children to inherit it. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let them hit their heads and bleed. Only when it really hurts will you remember. While he is still alive, he will still have the opportunity to help the Fang family rebuild its lintel.
