As winter turns to spring, everything grows, and Zhang Suiming's condition, which has been on the sick bed for many days, seems to have improved, he is beginning to be able to get up and move around, and he can also deploy his generals to resist the attack of the Red Turban Army. But this improvement was only a flash in the pan, Zhang Suiming's body was already at the end of the crossbow, and the excessive evil qi accumulated in his body completely destroyed his yin and yang balance, and when summer came and yang energy leaked out, he couldn't afford to get sick.

There was no miracle this time, on the day of the summer solstice, Zhang Suiming died and his soul returned to the west.

It is said that before he died, he was still holding a bowl of medicinal soup made of hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, and before he could drink it, his hand was crooked, but he began to convulse all over his body, and quickly fell into dying, and the bowl of medicinal soup that was said to be life-sustaining could not be poured in. The doctors in Suzhou were arrested to save their lives, but Mr. Songzhai, who had been serving Zhang Suiming, suddenly disappeared.

Zhang Suiming has too many concubines and several sons, competing for power and profit with each other, but in the end, no one can get any good. Although the eldest son, who is the only one who may inherit, is already in his twenties and has a family, Zhang Suiming guards against his son's □□ and does not let his eldest son handle too many affairs, thinking that he can live a long life if he has the law to maintain his health. Who knew that the breath was so early, and the generals under his command all held heavy troops, and no one was convinced of the young master who had not made any achievements, so the infighting began, and the division gradually became a separation.

When Zhang Suiming's strength was no longer twisted into a rope, the Red Turban Army began to divide and break down one by one. So in the autumn of this year, Zhang Suiming's base camp Suzhou City finally fell into the hands of Yan Zhao.

Before the fall of Suzhou, most of Zhang Suiming's territory was already under the control of the Red Turban Army, and the rest of the territory was only the end of the crossbow. Therefore, although the city of Suzhou was strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack, it surrendered without a fight and voluntarily opened the city gate in order to survive.

Therefore, when Jin Dong led an elite group to do routine inspections in the city of Suzhou, there was no trace of war, and everything was peaceful and orderly. Anyway, in this troubled era, it is normal for a city to change its owner several times, as long as the people in power do not excessively harm the interests of the people, it doesn't matter.

Today's patrol was as calm as ever, and the occasional petty theft happened under the noses of Jin Dong's elite team, which was not a matter at all. The autumn dryness has passed, the sun is warm and makes people want to yawn, the change of ownership in Suzhou means that Zhang Suiming's power has been completely swallowed up, and all that remains is to clean up the remnants of the trivial things, and the short period of peace is coming, and Jin Dong, who has been fighting with the Lord for more than half a year, can't help but start to be passive and slack off.

In the middle of the day, when he walked to a place where there were few people, Jin Dong covered his mouth and yawned secretly, and fatigue welled up. At that moment, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from the teahouse next to him.

"No, no, it's not right for you to be like this, look at me!"

"Get out of the way! I'm coming, don't be ashamed of your methods! ”

"You can do it, if you can do it, you have the ability to don't die under your hands!"

Dead person? Jin Dong's eyelids suddenly opened when he started fighting, could it be that there was a murder in Suzhou City? Thinking of Wei Chongqian, who suddenly made a difficult move to kill and rebel in Yangzhou, Jin Dong felt a pang in his heart, for fear that a similar incident would occur in Suzhou. He held a sword in one hand and gestured to the other soldiers with the other, so dozens of elites walked into the teahouse with calm faces, and approached the quarrel.

The shopkeeper habitually approached to greet the guests, and when he raised his eyes and saw that it was such a large group of soldiers, he was dumbfounded, and Jin Dong made a silent gesture towards him. Xiao Er nodded blankly, but his feet couldn't help but step out of the threshold, so that he could run away at any time if he found that it was not good.

At this time, there were almost no guests in the teahouse, and it was easy to tell that the quarrel was coming from a large table of eight immortals on the left side of the lobby near the window, which was probably the largest table in the lobby, and was now full of people. These people were sitting or standing in green robes, looking like literati, but their movements were very rude, several of them rolled up their sleeves, stepped on the round pier with one foot, and gestured with the other hand holding something like white cloth and cloth.

Others excitedly held a book, opened it, pointed to the words on it, and argued with the person next to them. There are also people who exchange and taste the black paste in a small box, smell it, twist it with their hands, discuss it, nod their heads repeatedly, or frown and criticize.

These people are quite like a group that often exists in troubled times, that is, scholars. They don't do anything to produce, but do what they think is the right thing every day - gather people to discuss the court, point out the country, scold Fang Xuan, and even pull out the sword at their waist to cut off the corner of the table to show their ambition. Of course, destroying the store's property will cost you money in the end.

If it is really such a group of people, Jin Dong is not worried, the so-called scholar rebellion will not be successful in three years.

But......

This group of people all looks like they are not small, almost all of them are middle-aged or older, and they are ...... They all look very familiar.

"Isn't that one standing on the stool Doctor Sun?" Jin Dong heard a comrade behind him muttering quietly.

"The one who quarreled with others with the book was Dr. Li, right?" Another comrade wondered.

"Those few who are smelling some kind of ointment are Medical Officer Zhang, Medical Officer Liu San, and Medical Officer Liu Si." This time, the comrade who spoke out was particularly affirmative, and it seemed that he was not less injured.

At this time, several medical officers suddenly walked a few steps, and their positions changed slightly, revealing a gap. From Jin Dong's angle, he could see the woman sitting in the corner of the Eight Immortals Table surrounded by two floors of people in the center.

"Doctor Gu!" Jin Dong was surprised.

His volume was loud enough for the group of arguing medical officers to turn their heads one after another, and all of them were familiar faces, and some medical officers who knew Jin Dong spoke enthusiastically: "Captain Jin, come to have tea?" ”

"It's not ......" Jin Dong wanted to speak and stopped, feeling that it was difficult to explain, and turned to say: "Now that the war has stopped, what are you all doing in the teahouse?" ”

"Let's chat!" All the medical officers spoke in unison and gave Lieutenant Jin Dadu an irresponsible answer.

Only one person struggled to poke his head out of the crowd, and greeted him softly: "It's Brother Jin, are you patrolling the city?" Would you like to come for a cup of tea? ”

"Not available! No place! Again, the medical officers refuted the above mentions.

So the man had no choice but to obediently say "oh" and retract in frustration. As soon as she sat down, a medical officer patted her, pointed to a pig's trotter on the table, which appeared to be pretending to be a human leg, and gestured with a knife. When Jin Dong saw this, he understood a little, he took advantage of the gap in the discussion, and hurriedly asked Gu Chaoge: "Miss Gu, are you talking to the medical officers about medical skills?" ”

His tall body forcibly thrust between Doctor Sun and Doctor Li, and the two doctors looked at him with dissatisfaction, and the hand holding the scissors clicked faster.

Gu Chaoge smiled at him good-naturedly: "Yes, the wounded over there in the small city are basically treated, so I will come over." It just so happens that everyone is in Suzhou, so it's best to communicate with each other while there is nothing to do, and we can save a few more people in the future. ”

said that it was to communicate with each other, but in fact, most of the time at the beginning Gu Chaoge was talking, and several other medical officers who had worked in the small city supplemented her, and the box of black ointment that everyone had been rumored to study was applied by Gu Chaoge after Zheng Lin had a laparotomy and surgery, and the secret recipe came from her master, which was said to be effective in increasing the patient's recovery after surgery.

After taking out this box of ointment, which can be called a secret medicine, the medical officers watched Gu Chaoge carefully write down the formula of this ointment on the paper, and they were embarrassed to hide it. Controversy ensued, and several medical officers began to show their colleagues their proud unique techniques or secret books.

Only then did there be a lot of noise, noisy and shouting, which made Jin Dong mistakenly think that someone was making trouble. And it is not surprising that the medical officer said in the quarrel that "his men have died", which medical officer has not died under his wounded.

This doubt was solved, and Jin Dong had another doubt: "Doctor Gu, why don't you go back to Yangzhou?" After all, he is Yan Zhao's own soldier, and the news is better than others, after Gu Chaoge was sent back to Yangzhou by Chu Dongyuan's soldiers, he forcibly asked Yi Cui to give a warrant to go out of the city, he knows a little about it.

With Jin Dong's understanding of Lord Yi, he didn't believe that Yi Cui would let Gu Chaoge come to Suzhou alone, unless she secretly followed the troop carrier by herself.

To Jin Dong's surprise, Gu Chaoge replied very naturally: "I'm coming to Suzhou to see your lord." ”

Oh...... I haven't heard you mention Miss Gu's affairs in Suzhou, do you think it's not important? Jun Shang has been busy picking a name for Miss Wei's newborn baby recently, probably because he doesn't have time......

Jin Dong was silently slandered in his heart, and the doubts in his expression were not withdrawn, so Gu Chaoge explained to him: "I haven't seen your lord yet." Well...... Brother Lao Jin went back to tell Jun Shang today, saying that I want to see Jun Shang recently, can I? ”

"Gu Chaoge in Suzhou?!"

In Suzhou City, in Zhang Suiming's palatial mansion, General Yan, who had been studying a copy of "Shuowen Jie Zi" for several days, suddenly let out an exclamation. Then from the large pile of files stacked together in the study, he quickly took out a few and flipped through them, and said, "Those who came with the troop transport ship have already reported it." Yan Zhao knocked on his head hard, he was a little out of state recently, and his heart was full of Wei Tong and his newly-born eldest daughter who were far away in Yangzhou.

Wait a minute.

Yangzhou?

"If she doesn't go back to Yangzhou, why is she coming to Suzhou?" Yi Cui attached a small note at the end of his letterhead several times, not allowing him to let Gu Chaoge accompany the army, only allowing Gu Chaoge to work in the wounded barracks in the small city. And Chu Dongyuan didn't know that his junior sister had been in the town for so long, and he was happy to think that Gu Chaoge had been in Yangzhou.

Jin Dong recalled the situation in the teahouse during the day: "She seems to have come here to teach other medical officers how to treat injuries better, she is the chief medical officer, this is her duty, right?" ”

Yan Zhao nodded, she was also very good in Suzhou, under his nose, safe.

So no one will settle accounts with him.

At this time, Jin Dong said again: "Your Majesty, Doctor Gu said that she wanted to meet you alone, and she said that she wanted to report something. ”

"See me? Report? "What big thing can she report to me? Yan Zhao was puzzled, but no matter what, he would always give this little girl's face.

"Tomorrow, then." Yan Zhao set the time.

He didn't think it was a big deal, but he was still a little curious about Gu Chaoge's initiative to ask to meet him. Although the little girl is not afraid of him now, she has never met alone, and the little girl likes to trouble Yi Cui and does not like to trouble him.

From the early winter banquet last year to the golden autumn season this year, more than half a year has passed, and when she sees Gu Chaoge again, Yan Zhao found that the little girl was much darker and seemed to be thinner, but her body looked stronger than before. She was wearing the same green robe as other medical officers, her hair was tied high behind her head, her lips were slightly pursed, and her eyes were firm and did not dodge, no longer the little white rabbit who would be scared to cry when she saw Yan Zhao.

When Gu Chaoge walked in and saluted him, Yan Zhao couldn't help but joke: "Little Doctor Gu, your changes are not small, Zhilan should not recognize it when he sees it." ”

Gu Chaoge was stunned for a moment, she was a little stupid when she was stunned, and she looked very deceitful: "Will it?" She asked, and then without waiting for Yan Zhao to answer, she thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, then it doesn't matter. ”

Doesn't matter?

What does this mean?

Don't......

Yan Zhao was guessing 10,000 possibilities in his heart, Gu Chaoge suddenly stepped forward and saluted, handing over the seal ribbon with both hands. Yan Zhao looked at the white jade seal, thinking that this was carved for her by Yi Cui himself, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Gu Chaoge, what are you doing?" ”

He didn't answer, so Gu Chaoge carefully placed the seal ribbon on the desk, and then explained: "Your Majesty, Chaoge wants to leave for a while. ”
