Chapter 131: Infiltrating the Barracks XVI

Tian Lao's eyes didn't move when he heard this, and he explained in a hoarse voice: "Chestnut has been in good shape since he was a child, but as long as he gets sick, it is very serious, and he doesn't get better for ten days and half a month, and the doctor who has a weak pulse has also said it." ”

The military camp nodded when he heard this, he had seen people with this kind of physique before, so it was not surprising. Only then did he begin to diagnose his pulse. It's just that when I look closely, there is no panic on my face, but I will stretch my eyebrows for a while, move my index finger, look at the spots on Meng Shaoguang's face, and frown, look down, look closer, straighten up, and then slowly let go of my hand.

Tian Lao looked at the military doctor breathing a sigh of relief, and the panic on his face was a little less, and he looked at the military doctor with a look of hope, listening to his report to Yuan Ke.

"Back to the general, it's an old man's words. The little brother's illness was very violent, and at first glance it did look like a flash of smallpox, but a closer examination of the pulse and then the rash on his face were not the same. It's probably a problem with the little brother's physique, and the illness caused by allergies to something. And this thing must have been lurking in the body for a while, and then suddenly it came across something that triggered it and exploded at once, resulting in the appearance of red spots all over the face. ”

Yuan Ke heard and understood that it was a mistake in the diagnosis of the military doctor, but he should have been angry, but he was sincerely relieved, if Tian Li really had smallpox, and smallpox still had an incubation period, then the food that Tian Li had processed in the past few days, and the people who had contact with Tian Li could be infected, and the consequences of these people coming into contact with other people can be imagined.

The military doctor lowered his head and listened to Yuan Ke's confession, Tian Lao cried with joy on his face, and continued to pick up a towel and give Meng Shaoguang a cold compress. Hopefully she'll feel better.

Yuan Ke glanced at the 'Tian Li' lying on the boat, and he didn't want to pursue a farce. The military doctor instructed: "Prescribe some medicine and take care of it." With that, he turned around and left. He was in no mood to catch the tiger after such a fuss, so he dismissed the soldiers who had been assembled to inspect the barracks.

After the military doctor prescribed medicine, he told him how to take care of 'Tian Li'. Then he left with the medicine box. In the tent, because Meng Shaoguang was mistaken for smallpox, there were only two people at this time, Meng Shaoguang and Tian Lao. The two have been guarding not far from the account.

Meng Shaoguang's face turned pale, of course, the rash on his face could not be seen very much. But the appearance of his body tense and enduring the pain was also able to be noticed by Tian Lao. He looked at Meng Shaoguang, who was gritting his teeth and refusing to snort at this time, with an unpredictable expression, and sighed heavily.

"Chestnut, your body is not good like this, the conditions in the barracks are also poor, there is no one to take care of you, go out to buy in a few days, I will send you home."

Meng Shaoguang's eyes were still closed. He didn't speak, just nodded slowly. Tian Lao naturally guessed something when he said this, today Meng Shaoguang naturally would not do this for no reason, the purpose of suffering so much is naturally not simple, it is very likely to be related to the purpose of Meng Shaoguang coming in. Meng Shaoguang made himself look like this, then this purpose has probably been achieved, otherwise Meng Shaoguang would not lie here obediently.

Seeing Meng shaking his head and nodding, Tian Lao sighed, tucked the quilt for her, got up and said a good rest, and walked out. The work of the gang has to be done, and he has to boil medicine for Meng Shaoguang, and he can't guard him all the time.

Meng Shaoguang didn't open his eyes until after Tian Lao left. The originally peaceful eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of the eyes were incredibly red. This is the side effect of this medicine. The body suffers far less than the damage to the eyes. The redness faded in three days, during which her eyes tingled unbearably, and her tense body was not due to the pain in her body. It was the stinging pain in her eyes that was unbearable for her. After the effect of the drug is weakened, eye drops must be applied with special medicine to delay the degree of eye damage. But it's only a delay.

This medicine is not without a trace in this era, so Meng Shaoguang did not dare to wake up. If someone who understands medical science sees her suspicions, then her suffering will be in vain.

A dozen people on the forest side quickly dug a big hole. It is more than enough to put the corpse.

Shoko and the others carefully moved the body to the pit, and looked at the bloody face that could no longer hold back the red eyes and tears fell. Chengzi trembled and put the red towel around his neck over the corpse's face. The first handful of dirt was sprinkled.

Hong Junliang kept a calm face and didn't speak, and the soldiers around him also looked serious. They didn't know what it was like to be a soldier who didn't die on the battlefield but became food for the beasts.

After Xiangzi and the others buried the people and erected a wooden monument, Hong Junliang spoke: "What the hell is going on?!" "He never speculated until he knew the truth of the matter. So although Hong Junliang is a little temperamental, there are still many people who are willing to follow him.

Shoko wiped his face and stepped forward to admit his mistake: "It's all my fault, we wanted to atone for our sins when we found the White Tiger, so we made our own decision to take down the White Tiger alone, and this is the general!" Subordinates are willing to take all responsibilities! ”

"General! We voted before encircling and suppressing the White Tiger, and I agreed! The subordinates are willing to bear it together! "Chengzi is not cowardly at this time, and he will not run away from what he should bear.

"Back to the general! This is all we agree on, and we are all responsible! However, Liu Gui was killed because he saved me. The subordinates asked to send troops to encircle and suppress the White Tiger to prevent future troubles! ”

"Subordinates seconded!"

"All right! One or two think they have what they can do! They all took General Ben's words as a deaf ear! Now know that it's wrong? Can Liu Gui's life come back?! Hong Junliang reprimanded this Xiangzi and the others with an angry face, and the soldiers around him also breathed tightly and didn't dare to come out.

"Keep searching in small teams! Whoever dares to act privately again, military law will serve! You have to come back here before the unitary time! ”

"Order!"

Hong Junliang gave an order, and all the soldiers advanced towards the place where the white tiger disappeared in twos and threes, and one person did not dare to divide too much in three steps. It's just that the mental concentration is also faster. Xiangzi and the others are even more tireless, and they only want to find the white tiger to avenge Liu Gui.

In the final analysis, the five of them were guilty in their hearts, if they hadn't been greedy for merit at the beginning, they wouldn't have died in Liu Gui. Although this action was unanimously agreed upon, the dead are greater, and the living are always restless. The six of them have been together for more than a year, and they are not without feelings. At this moment, the feeling of wanting to kill the white tiger is very strong.

They searched for a long time but they didn't find a single tiger hair, and the tiger seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Leave no trace.

"Bastard!" Seeing that the time had come, Chengzi scolded irritably.

"Nariko! Let's go back. If it's too late, the general should be angry. Come back tomorrow, as long as this white tiger can always be found in Shao Zilin. Shoko's voice was calm, but her sanity was still there. It is very unsafe in Shao Zilin at night, and the surrounding terrain is also very bad, not to mention that there is a white tiger with a very high risk factor, if it is because of his own group of people and more people, they will be to blame for their death.

Chengzi pursed his lips and walked back behind Shoko without saying a word, and when he arrived at the tomb, Hong Junliang and the soldiers were already waiting.

Hong Junliang glanced at Xiangzi and the others, who were all calm and in a bad mood, did not speak, waved his hand and rushed towards the military camp with more than 30 people.

At this time, the white tiger was lying on his stomach in a cave to rest. The dirt on the roof of the cave is still new, and it is clear that the hole has not been dug for long. And the 'Liu Gui', who should have been 'buried in the ground', that is, King An, was relying on the white tiger to close his eyes and recuperate at this time. He changed into a thick dark shirt, and the wound on his shoulder that was bitten by the white tiger was also medicated at this time, wrapped in the white cloth that had been prepared here. Underneath him was a piece of fox skin, also covered with a dark gray fur, and his whole body was very warm.

On the other side, Qiyan and Jiujue, dressed in gray and black clothes, squatted at the entrance of the cave, listening carefully to the movement outside. Seeing that the surroundings were calm, they glanced at each other and nodded.

They probably guessed today's scene. I need to hide here and wait until this hour to prepare. The warmth was well stocked. The two of them waited for another half a pillar of incense before going inside.

King An also opened his eyes at this time, and even if he was not feeling well, he did not look weak at all. A pair of eyes similar to Meng Shaoguang's are calm and calm, like a pool of secluded springs, revealing a smart soft light.

"Let's go now. How is the gentleman's health? Qiyan asked. Fifth Chen and Meng Shaoguang also never told them who they were coming to, although they could guess, but this could never be said. If you know, you should pretend not to know. In the middle of the entanglement, he called Mr. An Wang, and he also had a title.

"It doesn't matter." King An propped himself up and got up. Qiyan stepped forward to help, and An Dynasty smiled warmly. He nodded slightly.

"Thank you."

Qiyan said expressionlessly: "It should be." ”

Jiujue saw King An's face full of beard and make such a graceful and gentle movement, silently lowered his head to clean up his things, shook the fox skin and stretched it out and tied it around his waist, and the other larger one turned into a cloak and put it on King An's body.

"Xiaobai, go back to Qiliu Mountain obediently, and don't set foot in Shao Zilin again, do you know?" Jiujue touched the head of the white tiger, and the white tiger was very cool to be smooth, and even arched Jiujue as if he was coquettish, and rubbed it on him. It seems that he is very reluctant to him.

Jiujue brushed its fur and said with a smile: "Will I take you home later?" Now be obedient. "What Jiujue said is true, he never lies, well, for Jiujue, so are animals.

The white tiger shook his head with satisfaction, and he didn't make a sound, but shook his tail and rushed out of the cave at once, facing Qiliu Mountain.

The novelty of King An's view, although there was a legend of the animal tamer before, but it was just a legend. Now this white tiger is so obedient, it is really novel.

"Let's go." Jiujue nodded to King An and Qiyan, and took the lead out of the cave. After walking a few steps out of the cave, King An turned around and could even see a grave piled up not far away, he sighed silently, and waited for Jiujue to walk forward without looking back. Behind the Seven Words Palace, he swept the footprints of several people with a handful of dry branches, and several people were wearing gray clothes in the night, and they could ignore the past at a glance, so although they walked slowly, there was no danger.

Meng Shaoguang has spent the past few days in bed. The people in the room knew that Meng Shaoguang was only allergic and not smallpox, and they didn't believe it at first, but after three days, the rash on Meng Shaoguang's face began to fade, and Meng Shaoguang, who had been in a coma for three days, gradually woke up, so they were all relieved.

Tian Lao had already gone to tell Ji Chengtao that when he went out to buy in two days, he would send 'Tian Li' home by the way. Ji Chengtao also agreed. After all, Tian Li is indeed too young, not to mention that he is here to replace others. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, many soldiers whose families are in Yancheng also have holidays. There weren't many people in the barracks. And Tianhe Town is not far from Yancheng, and Tian Lao is also going back for the New Year. It's okay for Tian Li to leave a few days early. After the New Year, Dongzi came, and Tian Li stayed at home.

Hong Junliang's incident with Shao Zilin that day also spread. The soldiers in Liu Gui's dead barracks also knew about it, and Ji Chengtao was going to send some subsidies to Liu Gui's family after hearing about it, but after checking it, he knew that Liu Gui's family had no one left, so he had to give up. And Hong Junliang also asked Shao Zilin to encircle and suppress the tigers, and in the past few days, **** took people to Shao Zilin to search, but found nothing.

All this made Ji Chengtao very uneasy, he always felt that there was something wrong, but if he thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong, so Ji Chengtao was always worried these days.

When it came time to go out to buy, Meng Shaoguang's body was much better. I can get out of bed and walk, but my spirit is not very good, and I cough a few times from time to time.

"Little chestnut, you have to remember to miss me when you're gone." Wei Yang, who ran out to join in the fun, said with a grin, stretched out his slap and was about to slap 'Tian Li', 'Tian Li' coughed twice in time, Wei Yang's hand froze in place, and he remembered that 'Tian Li' was sick and couldn't stand his slap. He put down his hand in a daze.

Ji Chengtao watched dozens of soldiers pushing more than a dozen cars towards Yancheng, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

When the group arrived at the vegetable market, Tian Lao handed over the matter of buying vegetables to Erliang, and he took 'Tian Li' to the shop where he bought clothes. Wei Yang and Wei Gong joined in the fun when they were fine. From time to time, they are also picky, as if something is not for 'Tian Li' but for them.

"Boss, it's the red one. Of course, you have to wear red for the New Year. Chestnuts to try, grandpa also bought a few for the family members. Tian Lao stretched out his hand and pointed to the one he had taken a fancy to as soon as he came in. Push 'Tian Li' and let him go into the fitting room to try on clothes.

"Oops, chestnuts aren't white in the first place. When you wear it so red, it looks even darker! Wei Yang muttered dissatisfiedly, "You look at how good the green color is." ”

Tian Laocai ignored him and bought New Year's clothes for his family. He has been working in the military camp for decades, and there are very few places to spend money, and he only buys some new clothes every year for the Chinese New Year, so the money is still enough to spend.

Tian Li came out after a while, his swarthy face and red cotton clothes with rabbit fur looked very joyful, but he was also full of youthful atmosphere.

Looking at Tian Li's expectant eyes, Tian Lao praised with a smile: "Not bad, my chestnuts look good in anything." With that, he stepped forward to straighten his clothes.

Wei Yang saw that Chestnut showed a big smile because of Tian Lao's praise, and he was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth: "It's good, I didn't expect Tian Lao to be quite discerning." But chestnut, so you smiled, I thought you only had one expression. ”

Tian Li put away his smile when he heard this, and turned around at Tian Lao without looking at him, saying that he was very satisfied.

Tian Lao smiled and pulled Tian Li to pick a few more pieces, and finally picked out a big red jacket with auspicious patterns for Dongzi's unborn child, paid happily and took Tian Li to the pastry shop, bought some pastries, and then went to the vegetable market together. After taking Tian Li's baggage, he was going to send him back.

Wei Gong saw so many things and said, "Tian Lao, why don't you rent a carriage, Wei Yang and I will send you back." It just happens to recognize the way, and if there is a fake when we turn back, we will go to play with the little chestnuts! ”

Tian Lao thought about it and looked at so many things, then nodded, and generously took a bag of pastries he bought and handed them over to eat, which was regarded as returning their favor.

Wei Yang and Wei Gong were not polite, they took over and walked towards the car with people, and after a while, they got an ordinary carriage, and drove the car along the road pointed by Tian Lao all the way to Tianhe Town.

The shopkeeper in the ready-to-wear shop crashed several brightly colored cloths embroidered with delicate patterns into the car, and there were three of them. Then he called the second shopkeeper and told him to take care of the store. So he took seven or eight people in a carriage and hurried to the door of the carriage.

"Yo, Boss Zhou went to Hebei to deliver cloth again?" The gatekeeper knew what the cart of cloth was doing as soon as he saw it.

The shopkeeper came out of the carriage and smiled with joy: "No, we don't have to say anything about the craftsmanship of our embroidery girl in Yancheng, which was sold out in a few days after it was sent a few days ago, and the New Year is not counting on making money at this time." As he spoke, he instructed the charioteer to give the gatekeeper a few pieces of silver, which was not much, but it was a little meaning.

The gatekeeper also laughed, they were all acquaintances, but this time he didn't let him go so easily.

"Lord Li gave an order this morning to strictly check the goods out of the city, and we are also doing things for the official family, and Boss Zhou will take care of it."

Boss Zhou wasn't annoyed, he just smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just check, just be faster, otherwise you won't be able to enter the Hebei City Gate today." "Harmony makes money, but Boss Zhou knows it well.

The gatekeeper waved his hand to show him that he was reassured, casually lifted it for a few glances, then casually pulled down the curtain of the carriage to make a show, and waved his hand to let him go.

"I heard that the steamed cakes in Hebei are good, and when I come back, I will bring some back for a few people to try."

The gatekeeper was amused to hear this, nodded at him and let the carriage go.

After Wei Yang and Wei Gong sent Tian Lao and Tian Li back to Tianhe Town, they walked around the town and waited for Tian Lao to finish explaining before going back, and when they returned to Yancheng, the vegetables were almost bought. Tian Lao looked at it and bought a few more things, and then returned to the barracks.

When they arrived at the barracks, it was already dark, and Wei Yang and Wei Gong went directly to Ji Chengtao's camp.

"How?" Ji Chengtao thought about it and still felt that something was wrong, which was manifested in Tian Li's blowing, Shao Zilin's sudden appearance of a tiger, and Tian Li's sudden illness. The two things before and after are related to Tian Li, and the middle one, the tiger appeared too suddenly, and the disappearance was too weird, Ji Chengtao had to suspect it.

This time, he quietly instructed Wei Yang Weigong to go to Tianhe Town to investigate, it was not that he didn't believe Tian Lao, but he needed a reason to convince himself.

Wei Yang changed his previous laziness and said seriously: "There is no problem with Tian Li's identity, Dongzi's daughter-in-law should indeed give birth in a few days, and the people around him are not abnormal." ”

Wei Gong remembered the peaceful atmosphere in Tianhe Town, and couldn't help asking, "General, is there a mistake?" ”

The worry on Ji Chengtao's face did not go down, but became heavier and heavier, and in the end, he really didn't find any breakthrough, rubbed his forehead and sighed: "I hope I think too much." ”

Wei Yang thought of the other person in this matter and asked, "How is Liu Gui's matter?" ”

He really didn't think it was wrong before, but when he heard Ji Chengtao say this, he really felt that it was too coincidental, a few days after Tian Li blew Xun, Shao Zilin appeared a tiger, and sent people to encircle and kill a Liu Gui or both parents died, and this Liu Gui happened to be the only one in the pioneer battalion who was alive in that war. In other words, no one can prove Liu Gui's identity, or maybe he is not Liu Gui at all. It's just that he died, his flesh and blood were blurry and unrecognizable, and on the day of Liu Gui's accident, General Yuan, who had planned to personally lead troops to encircle and suppress the tigers, was dragged by Tian Li's sudden illness

"Unrecognizable, how to check." If it could be found out, Ji Chengtao would not be sitting here safely.

Wei Gong thought of something and suddenly said: "If Liu Gui is not Liu Gui, then who will he be?" The other party took such great pains to get him out, his identity must not be simple. ”

Ji Chengtao's face changed: "You mean"

"Didn't we come to the people in Hebei before the news that King An was missing? I heard that Princess An searched through Hebei and even Xiguyuan and didn't find it, according to Princess An's temperament, how could she let go of the Western Dynasty, but she didn't move for a long time, does it mean that "Yang Gong is also difficult to accept this fact, now think about it, if Liu Gui is really King An, people have lived a good life under their noses for more than a year and escaped smoothly, think about the heart of hitting and dying."

"Wei Yang! Pass my order to block everyone in Yancheng and not leave the city! Kill the violators! "Hopefully it's still too late.

"Order!"

After Wei Yang Weigong went out, Ji Chengtao clenched his fists irritably, and finally strode out of the camp tent towards Yuan Ke's big tent.

That person has been away from here for three days, and he has enough time to get out of the city, and now Ji Chengtao's only hope is that the person will not leave easily, but will take care of 'Tian Li' and then seek to get out of the city. Today, 'Tian Li' only left the barracks, and when Liu Gui died a few days ago, he was uneasy and explained to Li Rongcheng that he would strictly investigate the people who went out of the city, if he could stop it, Li Rongcheng's future would be guaranteed, if not. Ji Chengtao's eyes flashed with a cold light, pursed his lips and broke in directly without waiting for the report. (To be continued.) )
