The Favoured Medical Princess: 521 cousin

The four tall horses headed southeast along the swamp. They drove nearly ten miles before bypassing the swamp. Several rolling mountains appeared in front of them, and a small village at the foot of the mountain with only a dozen or so tile-roofed houses. .

Looking from a distance, you can feel a sense of depression coming towards you. The tile-roofed houses are dilapidated, weeds are growing around the village, and even some cultivated land is abandoned.

Guan Yubai slowed down his horse and pulled out a roll of kraft paper from the bag on the side of the horse. When unfolded, the kraft paper was part of a map. However, the map was still in the draft stage and was covered with traces of alterations.

A few days ago, Xiao Yi ordered several teams to explore the terrain around Yanding City. This sketch was drawn based on the information they returned from the exploration combined with the original map.

After calling Yanding City, Guan Yubai immediately asked Xiao Yi for this sketch. After studying it carefully for a few days, he started busy.

Every morning, he would take Xiao Si out to compare and revise the sketches. Occasionally, Xiao Yi would come with him when he had nothing to do, just like today.

Guan Yubai raised his eyes and looked around, observing the nearby scenery.

Xiao Yi also drove his horse to stop beside Guan Yubai.

A gray eagle circled in the sky above them, excitedly chasing the nearby birds, and bursts of loud eagle cries filled the night sky.

"Ayi," Guan Yubai pointed at the small village in front of him and said, "I remember that this village doesn't seem to be on the old maps, right?"

Xiao Yi nodded and said: "Xiao Bai, your memory is really good. This small village has only been here for more than ten years, so naturally it will not be on the old map." That old map was also more than 20 years ago. , what was perfected after the old Zhennan King came to Southern Xinjiang, has undergone many changes after the vicissitudes of life.

"This small village was created by the overflow of the Yanlai River more than ten years ago, which flooded a village downstream. Some people from that village moved to other places, and some also moved here." As he spoke, Xiao Yi pointed to the swamp. Direction, "There is also the swamp. According to the people of Yanding City, the swamp area has spread a lot in the surrounding areas in recent years. On the original map, there should be a grassland between the mountains and the swamp. Now it has been completely covered. The swamp swallowed it up."

Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the sketch in Guan Yubai's hand. Although it took a lot of manpower and time, it seems that the energy spent was not in vain.

Guan Yubai took out the charcoal pen and marked a few strokes on the brown paper, and the four of them continued to move forward.

Bypassing these mountains on the left, everyone passed several small villages one after another. The war in Yanding City this time will inevitably affect the nearby villages. Some villages are already empty, with only one or two elderly people left in their twilight years, which makes people sigh.

Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi stopped their horses from time to time, compared the sketches, and recorded the areas that needed modification...

Unknowingly, half a day has passed, and there are more and more records on the sketch. Some are just a few strokes, while others will write a long paragraph, and occasionally draw some pictures on it. There are old pines, huge rocks, and ancient wells...

This journey has been slow.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Si are martial arts practitioners, so they are in good spirits, but Guan Yubai is different. His body is already weaker than ordinary people, and after riding a horse for a long time, his face can no longer hide his fatigue.

Of course Xiao Yi noticed it and said, "That's it for today."

Guan Yubai looked at the sun, nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go back first."

A map cannot be completed in one or two days. After returning home, Guan Yubai will rearrange it again.

The few people embarked on the reverse journey and returned to Yanding City in about half an hour. It was the time when the sun was shining brightly at noon.

Xiao Hui swooped down from the sky and landed on a branch outside the house, lowering his head and pecking at his wings.

Xiao Yi raised his hand to it, telling it to go play by itself, and then entered the study room with Guan Yubai.

After having lunch and resting for a while, Guan Yubai went straight to the study room separated by four partitions and unfolded a large piece of kraft paper hanging on the wall. This kraft paper was less than five minutes completed. After Guan Yubai went out every day, he would perfect the map here, and Xiao Yi would sometimes look at it and help supplement it.

A map slowly appeared under Guan Yubai's pen.

Xiao Hui was still on the branch. He poked his head inside curiously, shaking his wings occasionally, as if urging the people in the room to play with him. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xu Shi flapped his wings, flew into the house through the open window, and landed on the desk. Its golden eagle eyes looked around the people in the study coldly, then lowered its head to look at the desk, as if it had discovered something interesting. It raised its paws to fiddle with the ink pads on the table, and the splashed ink droplets fell on the snow-white surface. Rice paper is extremely glaring.

Xiao Yi only looked back and said cheerfully: "My little Hui is so good."

Xiao Si was speechless when he saw this show off. Is this connivance? This is absolutely conniving!

"Your Majesty." Zhuzi came in and reported back, "The Third Young Master Fu is back and is looking for an audience."

Xiao Yi smiled and said to Guan Yubai: "It seems that Xiao Hezi has returned home with a full load!" He ordered Zhuzi to let Fu Yunhe in and went to the outer room.

Not long after, Fu Yunhe, dressed in military uniform, strode into the study. After saluting Xiao Yi, he couldn't help but glance at Guan Yubai on the other side of the window, and then said with a smile: "Brother, I'm back It's gone!" There was still some dried blood on his handsome young face, and he said with a smile, "Brother, only a dozen of the soldiers of the Thousand God Arm Battalion I brought with me were slightly injured, and none of them were killed. Twenty carts of grain and grass from Nanliang were seized, and all the Nanliang soldiers who escorted the grain and grass were killed."

Fu Yunhe smiled from ear to ear. As he spoke, he thought of something else and added: "Brother, don't worry, the secret passage next to the swamp is definitely not exposed. We went to Dengli City specifically according to your instructions. We walked five miles in that direction, lurked beside a fork in the road, and made it with one strike!"

"Xiao Hezi, you did a good job!" Xiao Yi praised without hesitation, "With this food and grass, it will solve our urgent need!"

Although Luoyue City has sent two batches of grain and grass over these days, it cannot bear the large number of people in the city. In addition, due to the massacre in and around Yanding City by the Nanliang Army, most of the farmland in the countryside has been destroyed. Even if the war stops, Both Yanding City and Yongjia City need a long period of time to recuperate.

The whole city is living a frugal life, and now with these twenty carts of food and grass, it can be a little less stressful.

At this time, Zhuzi walked in quickly and said: "Master, Li Shoubei is here."

"Let him in."

After a while, Li Shoubei strode in with a smile on his face. The news that Fu Yunhe returned with a thousand soldiers from the God's Arm Battalion and brought back twenty cartloads of grain and grass spread throughout the city in the blink of an eye, as if he had grown wings.

This is great news!

For a moment, Li Shoubei looked at Fu Yunhe with extremely warm and loving eyes, which made Fu Yunhe shiver inexplicably.

After Li Shoubei gave Xiao Yi a gift, Xiao Yi ordered: "Li Shoubei, of the twenty carts of grain and grass seized this time, I will order half of them to be sent to Yongjia City later, and the other half will be kept here." Give it to Yanding City."

Li Shoubei solemnly clasped his fists and said, "I will thank the prince on behalf of the people of Yanding City! I will send people to distribute them immediately..." and then hurriedly withdrew.

There is no need to delay the food distribution. It seems that we will be busy until midnight tonight. Li Shoubei left in high spirits.

After Li Shoubei left, Fu Yunhe stretched lazily and said, "I'm so exhausted!...Brother, will I go back early to rest today?"

"That's not okay!"

Xiao Yi objected with one word. Fu Yunhe couldn't believe his ears and looked Xiao Yi up and down. Doesn't this sound like what the elder brother said?

Xiao Yi glared at Fu Yunhe, pointed at his right arm, and said angrily: "Why don't you go see a military doctor!" Do you think you didn't see the circles of white cloth randomly bandaged on his upper arm?

Fu Yunhe scratched his head, then remembered, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's just some flesh...Okay, okay, I'll go find a military doctor right away."

Fu Yunhe was frightened by Xiao Yi's eyes, and walked away dejectedly. As soon as he left the room, he yawned lazily, and hesitated whether he should do something about it, but the next moment he heard Zhuzi say: " Mr. Fu, the prince said that you should think about it. Should you go by yourself or should he tie you up and ask someone to send you away?"

Fu Yunhe laughed dryly: "Zhuzi, there is no need to trouble big brother." With that, he hurriedly walked towards the gate of the garrison mansion.

Unexpectedly, before they took a few steps, they saw Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi coming towards them.

"Xiao Hezi, I've heard about it. You have made great achievements this time!" Yu Xiufan laughed and patted Fu Yunhe on the shoulder, winking and said, "Xiao Hezi, didn't you say that last time? Please invite me and Xiao Xizi when you come back this time..."

As Yu Xiufan spoke, his eyes fell on the injury below Fu Yunhe’s shoulder, and he frowned, "Xiao Hezi, are you injured?!"

Fu Yunhe shrugged casually, "It's just a minor injury." He seemed to feel the bamboo-like eyes from behind, and said hurriedly, "I was about to go to the wounded barracks to see a military doctor."

"Why don't Xiao Xizi and I accompany you?" Yu Xiufan grabbed Fu Yunhe's uninjured right arm and hurried away. Chang Huaixi naturally followed.

Seeing Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi leaving with Fu Yunhe, Zhuzi breathed a sigh of relief and ran into the study to report Xiao Yi.

Fu Yunhe and the other three quickly walked to the gate, and several young men from the porter immediately brought their horses.

They were about to get on their horses when they saw a strange male voice coming from the direction of the gate: "... this little brother, I saw the notice posted by Mr. Li on the bulletin board at the city gate... I have something at home. This recipe passed down from my ancestors works as soon as I take it. I have asked someone to help me write it down."

Fu Yunhe looked over and saw a middle-aged man in his forties standing outside the door. His skin was tanned and rough, and he obviously made a living by working hard.

"Please, brother, I'll find someone to help you register..." The concierge politely invited the middle-aged man into the house, and a servant led him away.

Fu Yunhe was confused when he heard this and raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Seeing this, Yu Xiufan explained: "Xiao Hezi, you also know, right? During these days, many people in the army have become acclimatized, so the eldest brother specially ordered Mr. Li to post it in the city. There are several notices asking for a good prescription. If the prescription works, I will reward you with a lot of money." As he said that, he glanced in the direction where the middle-aged man was leaving. "In the past few days, there was an overwhelming number of people who came to the garrison to offer prescriptions. I don’t know if the elder brother has found a suitable recipe..."

Fu Yunhe's brows raised even higher, "You said it was the eldest brother who ordered the prescription?"

"Yes." Yu Xiufan nodded matter-of-factly.

While talking, the three of them rode out of the house.

Fu Yunhe, who was riding at the front, was thoughtful and thought with interest: I wonder what tricks the elder brother is playing? Mrs. Lin’s medical skills are extraordinary, and my eldest brother has a miracle doctor by his side, so there is no need to ask for any prescriptions! ……Uh-huh! Maybe there will be another good show to watch!

Thinking about it, Fu Yunhe couldn't wait any longer. He clamped the horse's belly tightly and let the horse speed up.

Yu Xiufan from behind shouted while chasing: "Xiaohezi, you are still injured, ride slower."

Three horses galloped past on the street, and in just a cup of tea, they arrived at the wounded barracks.

Today's wounded soldiers camp is very "lively". In addition to those soldiers who are acclimatized, the wounded soldiers who were injured in the Divine Arm Battalion brought back by Fu Yunhe this time also came here to seek medical treatment from military doctors. The relatively spacious house was packed to the brim. Fortunately, none of the injuries were serious, and the wounds were just bandaged.

However, when Fu Yunhe saw so many people, he couldn't help but want to quit, so he was accompanied by two "yamen servants" who forcibly escorted him in.

The military doctors are already so busy that no one of them has their feet touching the ground, wishing they could have three heads and six arms.

Among a group of tall and thick men, a girl in Tsing Yi with honey-colored skin and a slender figure stood out. At this moment, the girl was squatting beside a straw mat, concentrating on bandaging the wound of a soldier with an injured calf.

Fu Yunhe blinked, first surprised that Han Qixia was here, but then he smiled again. Cousin Xia is now practicing medicine with Mrs. Lin. If not here, where could she be?

Of course Yu Xiufan also saw Han Qixia and tentatively said to Fu Yunhe: "Xiao Hezi, isn't this your cousin?"

As he spoke, Yu Xiufan carefully observed Fu Yunhe's expression, feeling extremely curious about Han Qixia's identity, as if there was a bug tickling his heart. Since she is Fu Yunhe's cousin and the granddaughter of the imperial concubine's grandfather, Mrs. Lin, how can she think that this girl is not an ordinary person? Why do you follow Old Mrs. Lin to practice medicine so casually? ...Wait a minute, so the Crown Princess and the Fu family are still related by marriage?

Thinking about it, Yu Xiufan looked at Chang Huaixi again, trying to find some resonance with him. Unexpectedly, Chang Huaixi had an indifferent face and calm eyes.

Hey, Xiao Xizi is so boring. Yu Xiufan looked at Chang Huaixi "sadly".

At this time, a tall and burly soldier walked past the three young masters. A skinny soldier with a sallow complexion in the hall came over and greeted him: "Old Xu, isn't your wrist healed? Why are you here again? ?"

The tall soldier known as Lao Xu confidently stretched out his right wrist wrapped with several circles of white cloth and said: "My sprain is not healed yet. The military doctors have called me to change the dressing!"

"Why are you still pretending!" The thin soldier curled his lips disapprovingly, pushed his chin in the direction of Han Qixia, and lowered his voice: "I think you want Miss Han to give you medicine?"

"Hehehehe..." Old Xu scratched his head and giggled a few times, without denying it.

The skinny soldier nudged Old Xu with his elbow, and said with an "I can understand" expression, "Old Xu, you have a good sense. I also think Miss Han is good-looking and has a good heart. She is a down-to-earth person. These days, she comes to the wounded barracks every day to help, no matter how dirty or tired she is, she never complains. Although both her parents are dead and there is no brother to help her at home, in my opinion, this girl is the most down-to-earth family... …”

The skinny soldier was still talking incessantly. Fu Yunhe's face almost turned dark when he heard it. His cousin was the eldest daughter of the majestic King Qi, and she was of royal blood. There was no room for them to find fault!

"Cousin Xia!" Fu Yunhe didn't want to hear it anymore, he shouted as if nothing had happened and walked towards Han Qixia with flying strides.

At this time, Han Qixia had just bandaged the wounded soldier's calf wound. When she heard a familiar male voice calling her, she hurriedly stood up and looked at Fu Yunhe, who was striding across the threshold, with a smile on her face. , shouted: "Cousin Crane, you are back."

For a time, many wounded soldiers and several military doctors in the hall all looked at Fu Yunhe, including the old Xu and the skinny soldier who were talking just now. Most of these people knew Fu Yunhe, especially the soldiers from the Divine Arm Battalion. They all clasped their fists and said, "Captain Fu!"

"No need to be polite." Fu Yunhe smiled and waved his hand, his attitude was very casual and friendly.

The soldiers in the Divine Arm Battalion have also been following Fu Yunhe for a while, and they know that Captain Fu has an easy-going personality. When he is not on the battlefield, he can drink, laugh, and eat meat with ordinary soldiers like them. Like some young men from aristocratic families, they look sanctimonious. After they saluted, they went about their business chatting and healing their wounds.

As for Old Xu and the skinny soldier, their expressions were a bit awkward. Old Xu looked at Han Qixia with strange eyes. Miss Han was actually Captain Fu's cousin? With his own status, he might not be able to reach such a high level... Thinking about it, he couldn't help but glance at Fu Yunhe, feeling a little uneasy: He didn't know if Captain Fu heard what he said just now.

Lao Xu rubbed his hair in embarrassment and went to find another military doctor to change the dressing.

"Cousin He," Han Qixia walked towards Fu Yunhe. She wanted to chat with him, but she saw the wound on his left arm and frowned, "Are you injured? Come here quickly! I'll help you. Treat the wound."

Han Qixia turned around and went to get the medicine box again, and called Fu Yunhe to a side room next door. Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi also followed.

The ear room was quiet. There were a lot of medicinal materials, medicine boxes, cotton cloth, medicine rollers and other tools in it. It was obvious that this ear room had been temporarily requisitioned by military doctors recently.

"Cousin He, please sit down first." Han Qixia pointed to a high chair by the window.

This wing room is not big, and there are already a lot of things on it. After adding four people, it seems a bit crowded. Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi simply stood next to the door curtain.

"Miss Han, don't pay attention to us. Just hurry up and help Xiao Hezi apply the medicine. We'll just wait here." Yu Xiufan said.

Han Qixia was not polite to them and got busy. She opened the medicine box and prepared cotton strips, water, scissors, gold sore medicine, etc. Then she walked to Fu Yunhe and quickly removed the white cloth strips that were dyed dark red with blood for him.

The wound had already stopped bleeding, and some gold sore medicine was applied haphazardly on it.

Han Qixia frowned slightly and helped him clean his wounds skillfully and seriously...

Looking at her serious expression, Fu Yunhe couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said when he had nothing to say: "Cousin Xia, in fact, I just had some skin injuries, and the wounds have already scabbed. My eldest brother insisted that I come over and see the military doctor..."

Han Qixia raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "Cousin He, you didn't clean the wound and just applied the golden sore medicine, right?"

"..." Fu Yunhe choked.

"Fortunately, the wound is not deep." Han Qixia continued, "Why are you still the same as when you were a child? I remember one year when you, my second brother, and Fourth Young Master Tian and the others sneaked out to play, and accidentally rolled down the hillside and were killed. I didn’t even mention the big wound caused by the stone, but my cousin discovered that I had a fever in the middle of the night..."

Fu Yunhe pretended to be silly and smiled: "Cousin Xia, don't talk about old things."

Yu Xiufan silently sympathized with Fu Yunhe in his heart. His sister, who knew his dark history and could exemplify it at any time, was really a troublesome person!
