After listening to what Lin Shan said later, the imperial doctor breathed a sigh of relief again. He blamed himself for being wrong about what Lin Shan's words meant, and at the same time secretly thought: This adult's mind is so difficult to understand.

The action of pinching the handle of the spoon between his fingers to feed Lin Shan the soup did not stop, and after thinking for a while, the imperial doctor replied slowly: "Pharmacist Liao will definitely not do anything to hurt you, even this cup of soup is specially reminded by him, and the medicinal effect and the amount of each drink are very detailed." He did not shy away from saying that this kind of soup was only used for you to hang your life when you were in a hurry, and when you arrived at the place of recuperation, you would immediately withdraw it. ”

After listening to the imperial doctor's description, Lin Shan didn't say anything, just slightly touched the corners of his mouth. He seemed to want to smile, but because of the weakness of his body, this smile was not very vivid when it came out.

Jiu Niang was already suppressed in her heart, and when she heard the imperial doctor say this, she became more and more worried, and couldn't help but say, "Since Pharmacist Liao has said so, why can you still say that it is not in the way?" ”

A look of embarrassment appeared on the imperial doctor's face, and he hesitated, "But... Not getting in the way is also what Pharmacist Liao said, I just paraphrased his words. After saying this, he subconsciously set his eyes on Lin Shan.

Jiuniang couldn't help but be stunned.

The name of the pharmacist came from the imperial court of the previous dynasty, and at the same time, there was also the notoriety of "hot hands urging life" that followed the reputation of "bringing the dead back to life". But the subtle thing is that these two completely different reputations came from the palace, and after flowing into the people for several years, they finally did not fulfill the wish of the angry Lingdi after the loss of his mother in the previous dynasty, completely destroyed the spirit of Liao Shi, but instead achieved a strange name of Liao Yaoshi that spread widely in the world.

The change in this phenomenon is, in the final analysis, because Liao Shi is hidden in the world of the four wilds and has never faced anyone else with his true identity. No one knows him, so naturally it is not easy to evaluate the facts, thus cutting off the source of the intensification of public opinion. In some respects, the spread of the people is still relatively objective. Rumors without evidence and new evidence cannot be sustained.

Jiuniang only saw Liao Shi in person yesterday, probably because of Liao Shi's external reputation, which prompted her to be mentally preconceived, and she also felt that Liao Shi was very strange. However, Lin Shan trusted him very much, and didn't care about those miscellaneous words, Jiu Niang was originally very obedient to Lin Shan's intentions, so she also had some respect for Liao Shi.

But at this time, I heard the imperial doctor relay Liao Shi's words. Jiu Niang finally couldn't help but question again. The strange old man, who was as thin as firewood, knew that San Lang was on this trip, and he had to use strong medicine to tie his life all the time on the road to survive. Can he still say it's out of the way? He's joking with Saburo's life!

She was about to scold, when she felt the hand she was holding move.

The seriously injured Lin Shan was very close to her, and his slightest movement could tug at her heartstrings. In fact, at this time, Lin Shan, even if he just wanted to move his fingers slightly. They all have to show the same strength as they used to swing their swords and slash bamboos.

Jiu Niang lowered her eyes, and saw Lin Shan raise her eyelids, and said in a slightly breathed voice: "Jiu'er, in front of the medical officer...... Don't be rude ......"

The imperial doctor on the side saw that Lin Shandi's breathing rhythm suddenly became a little short, and he was also a little anxious when he had been calm. didn't care about the conversation between the previous few people, and didn't listen to what Lin Shan said at this time. He just persuaded softly: "Lord Lin, it's not appropriate for you to talk more now. I'm sure you can get to your destination safely, but you don't have to comfort the people around you. And holding on strongly, it's not good for your body. ”

Jiuniang looked in a trance. She seemed to understand something, and her heart tightened.

The imperial doctor sighed softly and said, "Yes, when Pharmacist Liao leaves." It did give you a medicine, saying that it would give you a better life. Stay in the car and don't want to go anywhere. At first, I thought he treated you like a naughty boy, and secretly laughed at him, but now I suddenly understand a little, it seems that he knows you very well. ”

Lin Shan took a deep breath, slowly calmed down the rapid breathing rhythm that had been stirring up from speaking before, and didn't say anything more.

The imperial doctor said to Jiu Niang in a blink of an eye: "If you want to make people feel at ease, you can lie about your illness and only pick up soft words, strictly speaking, such a doctor is derelict in his duty." What Pharmacist Liao said is true, and in the same way, he said that Lord Lin is not in the way, and saying these three words with his name is a great success. The ginseng soup on the stove was the blood ginseng that he had been squatting in the Great Wind Ridge for several years, and he had seen it grow to a hundred years old, and at first I didn't believe the three words he said, but he was willing to take this thing out, so he didn't need to explain anything. ”

"Centennial ......" Lin Shan suddenly sighed, "Uncle Liao is really ruthless to me." ”

People often hear about the legend of ginseng, all of which are based on the millennium as the standard to reflect the precious value, but Jiu Niang did not fully understand until she accompanied Lin Shan for a few years that the price standard of blood ginseng was already the peak in a hundred years. And what kind of "monster" is the hundred-year-old blood ginseng! Embodied in Lin Shan, what kind of "ruthless" word!

……

After leaving the forked official road that ran through Tutuo Town, the Yan family caravan entered a vast open land. There are no mountains in this place, and even the trees are very few, the view is wide, and the most on the ground are only small stones and white sand.

Such a vast field, but because there is no waterway to crisscross it, it is impossible to cultivate, and it is difficult to have a permanent livelihood, and it gradually becomes a dry land - or is it an excellent reserve for the battlefield?

There is no formal official road in the wilderness, only a road that is walked by pedestrians themselves, like a shallow mark drawn by a dagger in the gray and white area, although the path is naturally composed of human tracks, it is very straight, as if drawing a huge ruler on white ground as a paper measure.

The ground was uneven, causing the vehicle to jolt suddenly, but fortunately it quickly came to a slow stop.

Located in front of the Yan family caravan, about ten zhang away, a group of troops was stationed, and two phalanxes on the left and right were opened.

If you look closely at this army, it is not difficult to find that although the young and middle-aged soldiers in the queue are all in armor, except that there are no chariots accompanying them, and the spears, bows, arrows, swords, and shields are fully equipped for land warfare, but on the whole, there are fewer people and more horses. If a man with military knowledge were to stand here, it would be strange to see such an army.

The army seemed to have stopped here and waited, and all the soldiers dismounted, but instead sat down on the ground to rest, but stood beside the horses like a spear. If one observes and estimates carefully, this should be a well-equipped cavalry, and the whole army is still a little too much assembled, which is reflected in the fact that even if all the soldiers are on their horses, there will still be many extra horses, and they will accompany them in the queue without any load.

That's right, just as the Gao Qian group who had passed by the Yan family caravan twice before had guessed, this army waiting in Guangye was actually a border army that had returned north from Bailupo, a northern suburb of Kyoto. The reason why the official road of Hongdu suddenly fell into that state was also deliberately caused by this army, in order to create obstacles and cover the people walking from another route.

This year, the process of their return to the north was more rapid than in previous years, so there were also some mistakes in the reorganization and return of the team. For example, this year, more horses were brought back to the north than in previous years. These horses were originally intended to be invested in the southern trading houses, which indirectly promoted the vitality of trade in other places, but if they were to be brought back to the north as weak horses, it would undoubtedly be an economic loss for the south.

But they must close the team at the allotted time, this is a military order, unshakable.

Nowadays, there are very few wars, and the reason why this border army that supports the construction of southern merchant horses has to leave the post of Bailubo horse training farm in such a hurry is not to return to the north to participate in any battles, but to escort a person north to recuperate.

……

When the Yan family caravan completely stopped walking, a military general immediately strode out of the cavalry camp.

This general is dressed in gray armor, with a horizontal sword at his waist, his eyebrows are as black as a mountain, and his face is resolute. In contrast to his rough skin, his eyes were as bright as the North Star, and it seemed that because he often cast his gaze on the vast four fields, he was not narrowed, making his gaze also strong and powerful, as if he had the edge to hurt people.

Yan Yu met such a gaze for the first time, and couldn't help but have a slight idea of dodging.

As a businessman, when talking to people, I often like to look into or scan the other party's eyes, and subconsciously move my mind, wanting to peek into the other party's state of mind from the other party's eyes, grasp and speculate on the other party's hopes and weaknesses, and negotiate a transaction that is absolutely beneficial to me.

However, in the face of a soldier and a general in the defense army around him, Yan Yu found out with some hindsight that the reason why he wanted to avoid the other party's gaze before was because he saw a spirit called the military soul, which was on the border line, like the color of the sand and stone refined by the scorching sun, pure but dazzling, without a trace of gaps that outsiders could invade.

The two groups of people from the first army and one merchant stopped steadily opposite each other, and the contrast formed a somewhat strange scene - these two types of people would not have met in such a way that was almost confrontational between the two armies, but at this time, the respective leaders of the two sides had already come out, and on an open field, with their backs to their subordinates, the two figures gradually approached, isn't it just a bit like two generals preparing to fight with their blades?

But this is just a fantasy that occasionally slips through the minds of the subordinates in the rear, Yan Yu and the general over there approached each other to a distance of about three steps, and after stopping, they bowed to each other almost at the same time. The smile on Yan Yu's face has the gentleness that businessmen are used to, while the smile on the face of the border general is tougher, but it is very pure and high-spirited.

Naturally, the two parties did not have the slightest intention of hostility. This meeting is actually the first time that the military businessmen of the Yanjia Commercial Bank Group and the Nanzhao Border Army Group have cooperated.
