Chapter 238: The Wind Howls
Nandinghou ...... He held out his pale fingers to pick up the letter, and a somewhat blurred face loomed in front of him.
When he was young, this Nanding Marquis had already become friends with his father, and he was not much older than Xiao Jingchen.
In the past few years, this Hou Ye has rapidly developed his own power in Jiangnan, and there are tens of thousands of private soldiers under his command alone.
I haven't been in touch for years, and I suddenly sent a letter...... Xiao Jingchen didn't rush to open the envelope because he heard the sound of someone talking in the courtyard outside.
It's Su Qing.
When he put his things down, he saw Su Qing walking into the house, and frowned slightly when he raised his eyes and saw him: "Why are you up?" Didn't I tell Xiao Jue to let you rest in bed?"
"If you lie down for too long, you still have to get up and walk around. Xiao Jingchen saw Su Qing carrying a burden in his hand: "Where are you going?"
"No, nowhere to go, I just came back from outside to buy something. Su Qing said and did not shy away from opening the burden in front of him, there were some medicinal materials and some saltpeter materials in it.
"I'm going to the blacksmith shop on the street today to get some stuff, and I'll get it back in three days, and I'll show you when the time comes, and if I think it's useful, I can make it in large quantities. ”
"These medicines are for you, and there are other things that I ...... myself," Su Qing reported one by one.
Xiao Jingchen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and finally interrupted her: "You don't have to tell me this. ”
"But you always send people to keep an eye on me, don't you? I will tell you about these things in the future, so you don't have to bother so much. ”
Her tone didn't look like she was complaining about him, Xiao Jingchen stared at her eyes: "I sent someone to follow you just for your safety." ”
"The matter here is over, when will the prince decide to return to Beijing?" Su Qing suddenly looked away and changed the topic.
"This was originally my fiefdom, and I have no plans to return to Beijing if there is nothing else. ”
Xiao Jingchen was a little confused about what Su Qing was thinking, and she was a little curious when she looked at the dazzling array of things on the table, what did she want to drum up?
Three days later, the blacksmith shop delivered several oddly shaped things.
"What are these?" Xiao Jue looked like a sword and a crossbow, but the size was much smaller than theirs, "Is it for children?"
"It can be used by children, and it can be used by adults. Su Qing took those things directly, and fixed them on her wrist with her customized leather wristband.
Only then did Xiao Jue see that this thing could fit perfectly from people's wrists to forearms, because it was small and easy to hide and carry.
Then I saw Su Qing take out a few silver needles and press a switch next to him, and a small piece of iron popped out with a click.
Su Qing put the silver needle into the small piece of iron, put it back in place, and then raised his hand violently to aim at the tree in the yard.
"Boom!" heard a faint sound, and a few silver needles quickly cut off a few leaves and landed on the ground.
Xiao Jingchen saw this scene when he came out, and in his sight, the silver needles seemed to have a few cups of slowness, and he could see where the silver needles came from and how they cut off the leaves.
"Princess, is this what you came up with?" Xiao Jue was dumbfounded: "Can you let me take a look?"
"Absolutely. Su Qing untied the wristband and saw that Xiao Jingchen also came over and handed him the other one.
"You can get used to it in advance, and if you can take anything with you, it's a melee weapon. ”
Xiao Jingchen stretched out his hand and took it: "This is what you said was specially made by a blacksmith?
"Of course it will take some time, but maybe I can come up with a more convenient way in the future, which will come in handy for the time being. ”
"It's not just some use, it's so convenient to have this thing on your body!" Xiao absolutely couldn't put down this crossbow, and looked at Su Qing with a little more admiration.
In the past, I only thought that she was a skilled doctor, but I didn't expect that she could actually create such a weapon, it seems that he underestimated this princess too much before.
After finishing all this, Su Qing plunged into the kitchen again, and she successfully met the witch doctor, but his temper was really weird, and he refused to help her easily.
Even if Su Qing took out a large sum of money, he didn't pay attention to it: "You and I don't know each other, why do I want to help you? Get out of the way, don't delay my time." ”
was rejected Su Qing did not leave directly, but kept following the witch doctor, saw him go to buy a few medicinal materials, and then rushed into a tavern next to him.
asked for a plate of peanuts, but the wine was the most expensive, and then found a corner to sit down and drink wine in the sun, leisurely.
Su Qing thought about it and added two more dishes, and he also brought a pot of wine and sat opposite the witch doctor.
"It's useless for you to follow me, seeing that you are not an ordinary person in this dress, go and ask another doctor. The old witch doctor glanced at Su Qing and turned his head.
After a while, the hot dishes were served on the table, and the braised fish with sour and hot radish beef with pork head meat sauce were all good dishes to accompany the wine.
The old witch doctor obviously couldn't resist such temptation, and his saliva was about to flow onto the table.
"I can't finish ordering so many dishes by myself, if my seniors don't dislike eating with me. Su Qing's face did not change, waiting for the wisher to take the bait.
The old witch doctor didn't eat her, and pinched a few peanuts and fed them into his mouth: "Eating people with a short mouth and soft hands, I won't be fooled by you." ”
Su Qing was not in a hurry, poured herself a bowl of wine, ate meat and drank a big bowl, this bold appearance did not look like a woman at all.
"You're a girl, can you pay attention to your image?" The old witch doctor couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but reach for his chopsticks.
"That's what my predecessors said, I'll eat less. Su Qing said this, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and he saw that a plate of pig's head meat was about to bottom out.
"But wouldn't it be a waste if I ate less?"
"Who said it was a waste?" The old witch doctor finally couldn't help but put a piece of meat with chopsticks and fed it into his mouth, raised his head and drank a bowl of wine, and sighed with satisfaction.
His money is only enough to buy a pot of good wine, and a plate of peanuts and rice is enough for snacks, and he has no spare money to buy meat to eat.
Seeing that he moved the chopsticks, Su Qing hooked the corners of his lips, and at this time, a junior came over to bring them food: "Guest officer, your dishes are ready, use them slowly." ”
"Wait. Su Qing suddenly put down his chopsticks, raised his hand and clicked on his wrist: "I see that your face is wrong, I'm afraid you are sick, and you really have some physical weakness." ”
"Guest officer, do you still know medical skills? I have indeed felt a little uncomfortable in the past two days, I can't sleep well and eat well, how do you think I should recuperate?"
Xiao Er's face was a little sallow, and he looked at Su Qing expectantly, he could save a little money if he could see a doctor for free.
