It belongs to Yong County, Quang Binh Province, Zhongshu Province.

In the afternoon, Fu Jingshan, the head of the White Lotus Society, was talking to his cronie Fei Liangce in his courtyard.

The Fu family has been the head of the White Lotus Society for generations, burning incense and gathering people, and there are many believers, especially in recent decades, the imperial court has become more and more **, more and more unbearable, and the forced labor is heavy and numerous, so that the people are miserable, and the people's grievances are boiling, and the believers of the White Lotus Society are naturally growing exponentially, and the potential power is great.

The White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect are both from the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism, the White Lotus Sect believes in Amitabha Buddha, so it is called the Pure Land of Maitreya, and the Maitreya Religion believes in the Maitreya Buddha, so it is called the Pure Land of Maitreya.

The canons are almost the same, all advocate vegetarian burials, every fifteenth day of the new year, give 49 money to the head of the church to say to burn incense, and the money handed over is used as the funds in the church. And because the goal is the same, they are all to overthrow the current court.

It's just that the White Lotus Society in charge of Fu Jingshan belongs to the northern system. And the Maitreya religion in charge of the monk Datong belongs to the southern lineage.

After Fu Jingshan took over as the head of the meeting, he has been declaring that the world is in chaos and instigating the people to make laws, even if he has been suppressed by the imperial court, he has never given up, such as today, it is really chaotic, the imperial court is distracted, and he doesn't care about his head, so naturally he doesn't just stare at him like before. Fu Jingshan seized the opportunity to expand his territory and power, and waited for this to compete with the imperial court.

"Huitou, this time the imperial court sent Zhu Cuo to Jianghuai to quell the chaos, won't we intervene?" Fei Liang asked worriedly.

Zhu Cuo is going to Jianghuai this time, he must pass through their territory, and it is already close at hand, and the head of the meeting is still not in a hurry, and there is not even a little movement, which makes him a little worried.

"Don't meddle!" Fu Jingshan, who looked to be in his thirties and was quite elegant, sat on the recliner and waved his hand, "The imperial court is not coming for us, do you want Zhu Cuo to lead troops to attack us?" ”

In the past few months, their people have fought against Zhu Cuo several times, and they have all lost. Zhu Cuo is thirsty for killing, and all the captives are killed, although it is only a few small branches under him, but it still makes him lose a lot, and he naturally does not want to face Zhu Cuo's madman now.

Fei Liangce smiled when he heard this: "Doesn't the head of the meeting want to avenge the dead brothers?" ”

"Of course I want to, but Zhu Cuo is menacing and powerful, and it is not suitable for us to go head-to-head with them at this time. It's better to wait for them to get tired, and then we'll go out and beat the water dogs. Fu Jingshan said.

He also has power in the Jianghuai area, and it is another of his cronies who is guarding there, and his strength is not weak, as long as he wants to make a move, he can do it, and he doesn't need to go back and forth.

Originally, he thought that as long as the Song family fell, Dayan would be vulnerable, but unexpectedly, another Zhu mistake appeared. At this point, he can only sigh that Dayan, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there is still a little vitality. But it's just a dying throe. Sooner or later, victory will be theirs.

A trace of contempt appeared on Fei Liangce's face, and he said: "The head of the meeting is looking up to them too much, maybe the people of the imperial court will be able to stew those small shrimps with a spoonful as soon as they go." ”

In his eyes, most of the forces in Huaixi are their own kings, and they are very scattered, and there is no force that can be seen at all, how can they resist the imperial army?

"Not necessarily." Fu Jingshan smiled mysteriously, "I heard that there is a little guy in Huaixi who seems to be very fierce, and everyone else is shrinking and not coming out, and he is rapidly expanding his power, and it seems that he wants to compete with Zhu Cuo." ”

"Oh, it's a lonely subordinate." Fei Liangce said with some surprise, but he was still a little unimpressed.

"What, you're not curious about him?" Fu Jingshan asked.

"What's there to be curious about, it's just a short-lived ghost. I think he is young and pretentious, and he has to be the first bird, do you really think Zhu Cuo is so easy to deal with? Fei Liangce sneered, "In my opinion, he must be the first person to die first." ”

Fu Jingshan said with a smile: "I think this little guy is a little extraordinary, and he shouldn't be such an impulsive person." If he really wins Zhu Cuo, at least half of the forces of these two Huai will fall into his hands, and at that time, he can also be regarded as a prince. ”

Hearing that Fu Jingshan was so optimistic about him, Fei Liangce's face changed slightly.

Fu Jingshan continued: "When the time comes, we can bring him over and bring him under our command in the future, after all, we are all here to overthrow Dayan's corrupt rule." ”

Hearing this, Fei Liangce nodded contemplatively.

……

In the city of Qizhou, Huguang, there is a large mansion with several entrances.

In the warm flower hall, Qi Wu was playing chess with someone.

That person was none other than the Chase monk.

Qi Wu wore a black dress, and in the room, he naturally didn't wear a cloak, but there was an extra half of a mask on his face, only revealing the underside of his nose, moderately thick lips and a resolute chin.

Even if half of his face is covered, he can see that this person is very good-looking. A little beauty groove on his chin adds a few different charms to him.

It's a pity that there is no woman in the flower hall, and there is a difficult guard standing guard outside the door, no matter how good his appearance is, no one appreciates it.

Not to mention, there was a monk sitting across from him.

I saw him casually have a son, and said to the monk Datong with a smile: "The military division was preached in Huaixi before, and there should be many believers in the military division there, right?" ”

Monk Datong became Qi Wu's military advisor, and his countless followers would naturally be used by him. Qi Wu had extremely rich capital from the beginning.

Monk Datong folded his hands when he heard this, pronounced a Buddha name, looked at Qi Wu and said with a smile: "The poor monk is just a small wandering monk, not a true Buddha with vast magical powers, he can only take care of the present, no matter how much, the poor monk can't take care of it." "To overthrow a decaying dynasty and re-establish a new one is bound to involve bloodshed and death.

"Master, you're too careful." Qi Wu laughed and said, "I just think it's a pity." Speaking of which, it should be regarded as the Song family's bad master

12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!

It should be regarded as a good thing for the Song family to spoil the master, otherwise, the master would not be forced to leave Huguang. Even so, it is really admirable that the master can work with me so without any trouble. ”

"The donor is overrated. The poor monk used to have a different position from the Song family, and the Song family would deal with the poor monk without any hatred. The poor monk himself admires and appreciates the Song family very much, if there are a few more people like the Song family in Dayan, the poor monk will not take this step, and the poor monk has done a qiē in order to build a new and beautiful world. Monk Datong said with a chuckle.

And Qi Wu is the person he chose, so he is willing to do his best to assist him.

When Qi Wu heard this, the smile on his face faded, and he nodded and said, "The master is worthy of being a master with a broad heart. Isn't the master afraid that after I take revenge, he will glance at you and ignore you? ”

"No, the poor monk can see the huge ambition in the eyes of the donor Qi, and there must be more than hatred in the benefactor's heart. Hatred can't shake you. What you're going to do is exactly what I'm going to do. Monk Datong said firmly.

He also knows Qi Wu's ability, if he can really become the emperor, then of course it is the best. If not, the other party will also overthrow Dayan before withdrawing, and then a new emperor will naturally be born and a new world will be established.

Those who can have the ability to ascend to the throne are all outstanding people, and he is not too worried about his poor governance of the country.

Qi Wu looked at him with some meaning and said, "Then I really want to thank the master for his trust." ”

The two of them turned their attention to the chessboard again.

"Master, how are his injuries?" After a while, Qi Wu suddenly asked.

Monk Datong smiled slightly and said, "I finally saved a life, and I can barely get out of bed." It's just that I'm afraid it's impossible to heal. ”

When Qi Wu heard this, his expression didn't fluctuate much, he only nodded and said, "It's good to be alive." ”

After speaking, the corners of his lips suddenly curled slightly, with a little evil spirit, he looked up at the monk Datong and said, "Master, you lost this game." ”

……

Huaixi Ding County.

Xu Zhaoting was also talking about Qin Youan with his cronies and staff in the council room, and his expression was a little heavy and uneasy.

Because they are not too far from Changping County, they can be reached in a few days by carriage, and the most important thing is that Qin Youan has already knocked down all the surrounding prefectures and counties, and now they have occupied Minzhou, and among the surrounding counties, only they are Dingxian.

Seeing that Qin You'an was about to attack, they were naturally like a great enemy, like a man on their backs. Xu Zhaoting has been discussing with his staff for a few days, but he has not discussed the result.

Now, he couldn't wait any longer, and if he didn't want to come up with a countermeasure, Qin You'an would call him.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Xu Zhaoting came back to his senses, looked around, and said in a deep voice.

Unfortunately, when they met his sight, everyone invariably shrank their heads and became quails that could not call.

What can they say in this case?

Xu Zhaoting's face instantly became gloomy.

He himself is a very ambitious person, and he wants to do a great career in this troubled world, who knows, before he can show his strength, he will encounter a crisis of destruction, which makes him willing.

Looking at what Qin You'an did, he knew that he was not a simple person, he acted neatly and neatly, every time he captured a place, he would first capture the yamen, control the local squire, recruit scholars, appease the people, recruit talents, and be merciless to those who stubbornly resisted him, sharp and enterprising without losing his calmness, not at all like a fledgling boy, his own three sons, far worse than him.

Thinking of his son, Xu Zhaoting suddenly remembered something, and suddenly couldn't sit still, so he immediately wanted to get up and ask his wife, wondering if he remembered wrong. If he's not mistaken, there might be some turning points in the matter.

"Okay, everyone go back and think about it, tomorrow we must come up with a foolproof strategy, this is not only about the life and death of our Xu family, even you may not be able to please you."

After Xu Zhaoting finished speaking, he left in a hurry, leaving a group of staff members looking at each other, and even some people had the intention of fleeing, but there was chaos outside, Qin Youan didn't really attack, they had a trace of luck in their hearts, and they couldn't make up their minds to escape.

"What? What did you say, sir? In the main room, Xu Zhaoting's wife, Huang, heard his words and asked in surprise.

"Let me ask you, the kid who took a fancy to our family Jingfang last time was Qin Youan from Changping County?" Xu Zhaoting asked again.

"Why did the master suddenly ask about this?" Huang Shi said something to him first, then frowned, and said with a disgusted face: "What did the master ask him to do?" That's just a flowery apprentice, could it be that the old man has taken a fancy to him and wants to match Jingfang to him? I don't allow it. ”

Xu Zhaoting didn't seem to hear her words, the expression on his face was surprised and happy, and his face seemed to be a little sad, very complicated, and the whole person seemed to be stunned.

"It's him, it's really him!" Xu Zhaoting muttered, "It's really heaven that won't kill me!" ”

"What the hell are you talking about, sir?" Huang Shi saw that there was something wrong with his expression, and asked with some eagerness and worry.

Xu Zhaoting came back to his senses, sighed, looked at the Huang family and said, "Qiu Niang, if we have to get through the difficulties this time, I'm afraid we will have to rely on our family Jingfang." ”

Huang Shi was shocked and puzzled and said, "Master, what do you mean by this?" What happened to Jingfang? ”

Xu Zhaoting sighed again, no longer concealed it, and told the Huang family about the current situation of the Xu family.

Huang Shi was struck by lightning, his face turned pale, and he cried and scolded: "How can this be? Kill a thousand knives. We have no grievances with him, so why should the thief attack us? Is it because we offended him last time, so he wants to take revenge on us? ”

"That's not the reason." Xu Zhaoting said, "He's just trying to expand his territory." And now that we've come to this point, we can only take refuge in him. ”

12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!

Finish. ”

What if you don't take refuge? Waiting to be killed? It's just that I'm unwilling in the end.

He wants to be a generation of heroes, not dependent on others.

As his wife, Huang also knows his ambition very well, and said: "Can't you take refuge if you don't take refuge? We fought with them, and we had six or seven thousand people, and we occupied a favorable position, and we were afraid that we would not be able to beat them? ”

"What about six or seven thousand? Qin Youan's strength is probably four or five times that of ours, can we resist it? Xu Zhaoting said dejectedly, "And you see him, when he captured other states and counties, he was like a bamboo, and he could control a county in two or three days, how long do you think we can support it?" ”

"This ......," Huang's face turned even paler, "what can I do about this?" Isn't God going to give us a way to live? ”

Xu Zhaoting also frowned worriedly.

Huang cried for a while, and couldn't bear to lose the lives of his whole family, and said worriedly: "So, we can only take refuge in him?" Will they accept us regardless of their previous suspicions? ”

"It should be." Xu Zhaoting's tone was firm, "Otherwise, it will be too much to repay, and it will be difficult to become a big deal in the future." ”

"Then let's Jingfang......" Huang asked again.

"Let's ask Jingfang's opinion first! We can't force her. It would be even better if she could make Qin Youan change his mind and stop attacking us. ”

After a pause, he said gloomily: "I originally thought that our great enemy would be Zhu Cuo, but I didn't expect it to be him." ”

Huang wiped away his tears, nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, Jingfang has always been understanding, I explain it to her, and she will definitely agree." ”

"Thank you. I am incapable of protecting you, and I will make you fear after me. Xu Zhaoting warmly held his wife's hand and said with sincerity.

After that, Xu Zhaoting left, Huang wiped away his tears, sorted out his makeup and went to Shen Jingfang.

"Mother-in-law, you're here, sit down." Shen Jingfang was embroidering by the window, and when she saw Huang coming, she hurriedly stood up and gave up her seat.

"Don't be busy, you can sit too, I'll just talk to you." Huang smiled happily, and there was a guilt in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Shen Jingfang has always been smart, and she can observe words and feelings, and when she saw her stepmother's expression, she knew that something must be wrong, so she obediently sat down against the Huang family, and let the girl go to tea.

"Mother-in-law, we are all a family, what can't you say directly?" Shen Jingfang personally handed the tea to Huang and said.

Huang tried to speak three times, but was always interrupted by tears, and finally couldn't help choking.

Shen Jingfang was thoughtful when she saw this, and then she was a little clear, and said, "Mother-in-law, is there something going on at home?" If there is a place for a daughter, the daughter is duty-bound. ”

"Jingfang, my good boy......" Huang hugged Shen Jingfang and cried.

Shen Jingfang also cried with her, she knew that something big must have happened.

Maybe, it will endanger the Xu family. Otherwise, the stepmother would not be so sad.

Therefore, she wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Mother, Jingfang has been taught by her father-in-law since she was a child, in my heart, you are my reborn parents, without you, Jingfang is afraid that she would have gone with her parents a long time ago." I will never repay you for your kindness to me in my lifetime. Now that my daughter has grown up, it's time to share her parents' worries. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly, and my daughter is also willing to do her part for the Xu family. ”

When Huang heard this, he cried even more.

After a while, she stopped crying and told the Xu family about their current situation.

When Shen Jingfang began to hear it, she was also shocked and frightened, and her expression was sluggish.

She didn't expect that the situation of the Xu family would be so bad.

However, she quickly came back to her senses and calmly asked Huang: "What does the mother want her daughter to do?" ”

When she asked, she naturally agreed to Huang's request.

Huang Shi took her hand, wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Do you remember the disciple we met on the street when we went to the suburbs to offer incense some time ago?" ”

Of course Shen Jingfang remembered.

Even, in the middle of the night, there was always a pair of eyes that appeared in her dreams.

She always felt that he knew herself, and he had known her for a long time.

This made her a little unable to let go.

Luckily, her mind was heavy, and no one noticed her abnormality.

Shen Jingfang nodded silently, looked at the Huang family again and asked, "Could it be that he is Qin You'an in the mouth of his stepmother?" ”

"Yes, that's him." Huang said with some hatred.

I didn't expect it to be him.

Shen Jingfang's heart skipped a few pounds, and her heart was slightly complicated.

She didn't have much ill feeling for that person when she told the truth, it was just a prank on her face, and the look in his eyes later always made her mind a little.

"What is my stepmother going to do for me?" Shen Jingfang asked as calmly as she could.

"Alas, your father-in-law means...... It's to marry you to him, and he likes you anyway, so he shouldn't treat you badly. I hope he can spare the Xu family this time for your sake. Huang said guiltily and helplessly.

After speaking, she eagerly added: "You don't have to marry immediately, as long as you make a marriage contract, you will marry you in the future." Otherwise, we wouldn't have said yes. ”

Shen Jingfang smiled, didn't seem to mind at all, and said, "I know that my father-in-law and mother-in-law will not harm me." Anyway, I will marry someone in the future, who I marry is not to marry, this is not to jump into the fire pit, I just promise. I'm just worried that if he doesn't look down on me, that's bad. ”

"Nonsense!" Hearing that Shen Jingfang agreed, and didn't make any trouble, Huang also breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a little smile on his face, and said, "In my eyes, there is no better woman than you." You have good looks, better morals, and understanding, who is not worthy of? ”

Quiet

12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!

Shen Jingfang just lowered her head, as if she was shy.

"Okay, then I'll tell your father-in-law the news and make him happy. Don't worry, I will definitely prepare a rich dowry for you, and even if you get married, they will not look down on you. After saying that, Huang Fengfeng left in a hurry.

As soon as she left, Shen Jingfang looked at the scenery outside the window and was stunned, and finally let out a long sigh.

……

Qin Shu's nursing class was still run in the end.

The three girls who stayed that day all came to look for Qin Shu, and later, more than a dozen people came one after another, only two or three women, and the others were relatively thin men.

These men are very young, no more than twenty-five years old, their physique does not seem to be very good, they look yellow and thin, Qin Shu asked them, they all have no status in the family, they don't have much strength, and they are not like women who can sew and mend, and they can't even choose soldiers, let alone daughters-in-law. These people are a burden, and it would be good for the family to give them a bite to eat.

Therefore, some of them were driven by their families, and some of them took the initiative to ask for it, because they didn't want to be angry at home, and they also wanted to learn a little skill. Even if you show your face in front of your wife, it's good.

The two middle-aged women are both widows, and their only son is still a soldier, most of them are for their sons, maybe one day they can help their sons!

In other words, Sun Xiaohong's words that day had already spread, and many people were moved, but they just let them actually take action, but they were still a little hesitant.

In addition, there is also an angry little daughter-in-law, who is only resigned, and she doesn't even dare to look at Qin Shu's eyes, probably forced by her family to come over, because her husband also followed Qin You'an on the expedition, her mother-in-law was worried about her son's safety, so she also let her come over, and as for her child, the family will help take care of it.

Qin Shu did not teach at home, but set aside an empty courtyard not far from Qin's house to be the medical department, which was originally a guest house for entertaining guests, and there were many rooms. But now, several surrounding villages are building houses, people have moved away, and there are no guests, this yard is deserted, and Zhao Xiucai has written a sign,

In the future, the doctors left behind on the mountain will also sit here for consultation.

In addition to teaching them some nursing skills by herself, Qin Shu also asked Lang Zhong to teach them to identify medicinal materials and teach them some basic Chinese medicine theories, including osteopathy, massage and so on in Chinese medicine.

Wu Langzhong is very enthusiastic about this, not only superb medical skills, but also good medical ethics, he does not have the meaning of self-cherishment, he teaches very hard, but the other two Langzhong are not as good as him. If he didn't have daughters or granddaughters, I'm afraid he would have asked them to be nurses.

Some of these people are clever, some are stupid, although most of them are illiterate, but some of them learn very quickly, and they can understand a little, but some can't learn anything, Qin Shu cured and dismissed the two.

Especially the little daughter-in-law who was angry, she fainted when she saw the blood. Qin Shu also let her go back.

In the end, this group of nurses will only be fifteen people.

Fortunately, there are two seedlings who studied medicine and were officially accepted as apprentices by Wu Langzhong. In addition, Wu Langzhong also contributed a lot of trauma prescriptions, prepared trauma medicine for them, and so on.

Wu Langzhong did a thing, Qin Shu saw it, and appointed him as the director of the medical department.

Of course, while Qin Shu was busy, she didn't forget about Liu Si.

When she knew that Liu Si's mother really intended to find him a daughter-in-law, Qin Shu specially asked Liu Si's mother to come over.

Mother Liu's first time coming to Qin Shu.

However, this is not the first time the two have met.

The first meeting was not pleasant, so I didn't mention it.

In the past few years, Liu's mother seems to have undergone a lot of changes, she used to be a lady with yellow muscles, but now she has a plump body and a ruddy face, and she is obviously doing very well, but her expression is still a little cringe.
