490 Chi Zhongyuan (4)
The next day, after only two quarters of an hour of marching, the army met the adjutant of the Fuzhou naval battalion who came to meet him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Under the leadership of this person, Ning Qing, Chi Zhongyuan and others entered Fuzhou City.
In Ningqing's memory, Fuzhou is adjacent to the sea area, and often communicates with the original overseas merchants, so there are many imported goods gathered here, which are sold to the capital, the Western Regions and other places, which can be said to be the distribution center of overseas goods.
The superior location in the ground has created the prosperity of Fuzhou, but the dilapidated Fuzhou in front of him is really very different from what Ning Qing imagined.
Not only were there ruins and gunsmoke everywhere, but even the people who occasionally passed by on the street were in a hurry, their faces were hasty and depressed, and they kept shaking their heads and looking around when they walked on the road, and when they heard any movement, they ran for their lives as if they had to run forward.
Even the capital of a state has become like this, and you can imagine what the counties and towns in the subordinate areas are already like.
Ning Qing couldn't help frowning, she had only heard of rampant coastal bandits in the past, but she didn't expect it to be rampant to this point. With such a powerful destructive power, these water bandits should be bandits who have accumulated for years, right?
When Ning Qing thought about this, he had unconsciously followed Chi Zhongyuan, Wu Mingcheng and others from Fuzhou City to the Fuzhou Navy camp in the suburbs.
Chi Zhongyuan was greeted away by the Admiral of the Navy, Wu Mingcheng naturally followed, and Ning Qing was taken down to rest.
She didn't care on her face, but she was happy and depressed in her heart. The happy thing is that this Fuzhou Navy is in chaos, maybe she can take advantage of this opportunity to escape. The frustration is that as she gets along with Chi Zhongyuan for a long time, she thinks that person should have some trust in her, but it turns out that as soon as something big happens, she is immediately excluded.
This feeling really makes people feel uncomfortable, but Ning Qing is also very clear about her identity and position, she is a suspect of unknown origin and whose identity is to be discussed, who can tell a suspect about something that requires high-level secrecy, this is also too embarrassing.
Thinking like this, Ning Qing felt much more comfortable in her heart.
Besides, isn't it just to discuss the strategy of the enemy, and she really has no interest in listening to those obscure things. Otherwise, she heard too much about fighting, killing, and calculating, calculating, calculating, and calculating, and she was still worried about being wiped out.
Ning Qinggu thought about his own affairs, but he was also happy. It's just that when Chi Zhongyuan returned to the camp in the evening, she didn't look at him.
The man was more breathless than her, and didn't say anything, but the next day, he picked her up from the bed.
"Do what?" Ning Qing was annoyed and wanted to bite.
"Go to the boat."
Going to a ship is the same as going to scout or going to war? Ning Qing's mind immediately cleared up.
However, she doesn't know water, and she's not a soldier who charges into battle, she's just an imposter doctor, so why should she follow?
She was not allowed to come up with a reason, and she was already carried on the boat by Chi Zhongyuan.
Sure enough, I came to reconnoiter today, and on the small warship, in addition to Ning Qing and Wu Mingcheng brought by Chi Zhongyuan, there were also admirals of the Fuzhou Navy Army, adjutants, and a soldier who drove the boat.
Of course, following the ancestral precept that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, around this first warship, there were also six warships of the same type, each of which stood or sat ten soldiers, guarding the surrounding waters.
When the ship had reached a distance of thirty miles, it slowed down, and by this time it was already visible the stumps and wreckage floating on the water, as well as armor, silver guns, and other items such as boots and helmets, or the belongings of the fallen soldiers of the Fuzhou navy, or belonging to the dead bandits.
The cleaned battlefield was still full of slaughter, and there were deep blood-red colors in some places, which showed the fierceness of the earlier battles.
Chi Zhongyuan and the Admiral of the Fuzhou Navy exchanged two sentences from time to time, but they did not say a word that was too deep. The Admiral was a man of five big and three thick, and a scar on his rough cheek was cut from the left eye bone to the bridge of the right nose, and the scar was still very new, which could be seen to be a recent injury.
The hideous scar made the originally loyal Admiral instantly turn a fierce face, and it was not easy to look at it. However, he should have great admiration for Chi Zhongyuan, with his kind attitude, he hated not to be commensurate with his brother, and he was ...... to Ning Qing His gaze always swept over Ning Qing as if he were nothing, and there was a look of vigilance and contemplation in his eyes.
Ning Qing guessed that this person was suspicious of the authenticity of her doctor's identity, but she should still believe in Chi Zhongyuan's vision, and felt that even if she was a "fake doctor", she should be harmless to them, so she didn't pay more attention to it.
Ning Qing was a little regretful, if this admiral was majestic and expelled her from the naval camp, then she would not be able to ask for it.
When I went back that day, Ning Qing stayed in a camp with Chi Zhongyuan as usual in the evening.
At this time, she was no longer as awkward as she was at the beginning, and she could already ignore this man and sleep freely.
Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, the sound of beating and killing suddenly sounded outside.
Ning Qing sat up suddenly, "Chi Zhongyuan?"
The only thing that was silent in the tent was the sound of her breathing, and Ji Zhongyuan didn't know when she went out.
Ning Qing was both surprised by this, but not so surprised. After all, Chi Zhongyuan has the habit of patrolling the camp in the middle of the night, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been caught by him and peeked through her daughter's body.
So, now that Chi Zhongyuan hasn't changed his routine and gone to inspect the camp of the Fuzhou Navy Army?
…… Is that really good?
But he couldn't care so much at the moment, Ning Qing put on his clothes and shoes neatly, and ran out.
He grabbed a soldier standing guard and asked him, "Is there any fighting ahead?" And what about the sailors of Yizhou? Did the Marquis of Zhongyong go to war?"
The little warrior seemed to be very shy and easy to speak, but his mouth was very tight, and he only picked up what he could say, "The water bandits attacked in the middle of the night, and the Overseers have gathered a large army to fight. Whether there is a naval army in Yizhou, the subordinates don't know. The whereabouts of the Marquis of Zhongyong cannot be told under the redemption. ”
Ning Qing: "......" touched his nose depressedly and returned to the tent.
She didn't dare to run out now, for fear of being shot by the sailors of the Fuzhou Navy as a "suspicious character"; Second, now that there is a shortage of soldiers outside, only this naval army camp is the safest -- this is the old nest of the Fuzhou naval army, as long as she does not stay here when the situation is at its most critical, there is a guarantee that she will stay here, and the fool will run out now.
However, Ning Qing didn't run out, but someone came to invite her.
At dawn, the adjutant of the Fuzhou Navy Army, who had had a two-sided relationship earlier, came to invite Ning Qing.
When Ning Qing arrived at his destination, he realized that it was the Overseer who had been hit by an arrow, the arrow had just pierced through the armor, leaving a slight scratch on the skin, the wound was very small, and the problem was that the arrow was smeared with poison.
The Overseer had been careless and had been fighting for a long time, only to find that his body was starting to stiffen, only to realize that he had been poisoned.
Chi Zhongyuan glanced at Ning Qing, "Can it detoxify?"
Ning Qing stepped forward to inspect the wound and nodded, "Seven days drunk." It will be solved, but the medicinal materials to be used are more tricky and not easy to collect. ”
Chi Zhongyuan bowed slightly, "Write down the prescription, and I'll let someone get it." ”
Several old military doctors next to him looked at Ning Qing suspiciously, as if they were doubting whether what she said was true or false. Even the Overseer and Adjutant, as well as Wu Mingcheng, looked at her with suspicion.
Ning Qing is not weak-hearted, when it comes to getting drunk for seven days, others may not be able to understand it, but she thinks it is a trivial matter. Just because this poison was made by the ancestors who were proficient in the art of Qihuang in the family, it was used by the juniors to defend themselves when walking outside.
They are from a family of grandchildren, both men and women are born with a peerless and difficult to find good looks, when walking outside, it is inevitable to encounter a few evil ghosts in the color, which will inevitably be calculated, with some "harmless" poison. Medicine for self-defense is really a matter of course.
However, it is said that this medicine should have been peerless a long time ago, and if it is wanted, it is only made by the people of the Sun family. So the question is, where did these seven days of drunkenness come from?
This question is not easy to ask now, so Ning Qing will press it down first, and decide to find an opportunity to find out the root cause in the future.
After detoxifying the Overseers, the water bandits outside are killing again, and the flow is endless, and they run away if they can't win, which is really frustrating.
However, Ning Qing could also see that those water bandits would not be long behind. Because in the past few days, Chi Zhongyuan and the overseers have gone out early and returned late every day, and they still get together late at night to look at the map, or convene a meeting of the deputy generals, it is obvious that this is a big move, and they are ready to take down those water bandits in one fell swoop, so as to return Fuzhou City to a clean place.
The time for the Fuzhou Navy to counterattack came quickly, and just seven days later, Ning Qing was shouted in the middle of the night, struggling to open the eyelids that were glued together, and asked the man in front of him who began to wear armor, "What are you doing?"
"Out of the camp."
Ning Qing's mind was agitated, and he woke up completely, "I'm going too?"
"Hmm."
Ning Qing could only cover her mouth and yawn, and reluctantly began to get dressed.
Chi Zhongyuan sat and drank tea, watching her rub, Ning Qing didn't feel embarrassed at all, but she felt somewhat undignified, so she could only pout her lips and turn her back and quickly put on her clothes.
When the army attacked in a big way, it was the ugly hour, when people were most tired and asleep. And because he bought off the spies among the water bandits, he went all the way smoothly and soon attacked the water bandits' lair.
Chi Zhongyuan and the Overseer sat on the battleship, and Ning Qing naturally followed.
When the horn of the successful attack on the bandits' lair came from ahead, the Overseer slapped the table and excitedly said, "It's done." This group of dogs is offial, watch Lao Tzu chop them. ”
After speaking, he ordered an attack, and Ning Qing also actively followed Chi Zhongyuan to the bandits' den.
Of course, she didn't go into battle to kill the enemy, nor did she want to be a miracle doctor who saved lives and helped the wounded in time, she simply wanted to see who the gangster boss who could get drunk for seven days was. If it were possible, get out of his mouth what she wanted to know, so much the better.
The place where the bandits are located is a water village located on a small island, which occupies a geographical advantage, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, because a spy opened the door, the next attack was easy.
The bandits were either captured alive or hacked to death with knives, and the ground was full of stumps and broken remains, which was very terrifying to look at.
Ning Qing didn't see the bandit boss, she was a step too late, only to see the bandit boss being cut off in the head by the Overseer.
It's so cruel......
The army began to clean up the mess, and Ning Qing was also preparing to follow Chi Zhongyuan to leave.
Although the Yizhou Navy made great efforts, it was not easy to grab the credit, so under the leadership of Wu Mingcheng, they reorganized and lined up and got on the ship to return.
However, they were unlucky, and when they were still more than ten miles away from the bank of the Fuzhou River, they encountered a strong wind.
An old sailor from Fuzhou was immediately shocked, "It's not good, the Water Dragon King has turned over." ”
A hurricane passed, and the whole boat was staggered in an instant, and the two boats next to it were overturned, and Ning Qing was also shocked.
She had heard of the Avatar Turning Over, and it was said that every summer, the Avatar would turn over in the coastal area, accompanied by violent winds and rains, which could destroy all the buildings along the coast, and the lethality was so great that everyone could not avoid it.
When Ning Qing was frightened, another hurricane raged by, and the sound of "click" disintegration came from the boat, and in his ears was Chi Zhongyuan's calm and hoarse command, "All dive, try your best to escape, and gather on the shore." ”
Ning Qing was a landlubber, and after falling into the water, she fluttered, and Chi Zhongyuan restrained her neck, put one hand around her waist, and swam hard to the shore.
It's a pity that the wind is too strong, and the water is also countercurrent, they were swept in the direction of the river bank, and the waves crashed down, and Ning Qing fainted instantly.
When Ning Qing woke up again, he found himself in a cave with a bonfire burning next to him, and a man with a naked and thin upper body sitting next to him.
Ning Qingmo vaguely saw his face, it was Chi Zhongyuan.
"It's ...... Where?" Ning Qing was dizzy, her voice was hoarse and she could barely make a sound, her body was very cold, she was shivering all the time, and she had a fever.
Chi Zhongyuan replied, "I don't know." ”
"Help me untie my purse, there's medicine in it."
Chi Zhongyuan seemed to turn his head to look at her for a moment, and then he said coldly in a dumb voice, "Your purse is lost."
Ning Qing: "......"
"It's cold." Her teeth creaked, and her misty eyes looked at the campfire in front of her, and she really wanted to plunge in to keep warm.
Suddenly a piece of clothing was put on his body, and it was still a little damp, and it was not warm at all on his body.
Ning Qing glanced at it with disgust and muttered, "It's better not to have a ...... Alas, have your clothes been washed? If...... Quickly take it away when it is stained with blood, it is too dirty. ”
No one replied, so Ning Qing wrapped her hands around herself again, trying her best to move to the fire, while instructing Chi Zhongyuan, "You put some more firewood and make the fire bigger." I'm going to freeze, I'm going to freeze to death, aren't you cold?"
Chi Zhongyuan shook his head, and Ning Qing reached over and touched his arm unconvincedly.
Chi Zhongyuan's body stiffened suddenly, and his arm was raised to retreat, but he didn't move after all.
Ning Qing touched two handfuls and sighed with emotion, "You are so warm." It's good to be a man, with a lot of firepower, and he is not afraid to fall into the water...... "In fact, he is cold, but she is hot, because of the heat.
Ning Qing's voice was yin and yang, humming and complaining, but it was not annoying, only pitiful.
Chi Zhongyuan looked at her red little face and misty eyes, couldn't help but purse his thin lips, and used the greatest stopping force to take his eyes off her. Then he got up and walked around the outside, and came back after a long time. (To be continued.) )
