Chapter 124 of eight
Zhang Qi kept arguing with Meng Zhou all the way, and the gloomy atmosphere around him before dissipated, no matter what he had to face later, his heart was relaxed at this moment.
Back on the Zhuangzi, Xu Mian kept a smile on his face, sat in front of the Wing King, and was ready to start his one-man show. Even though I'm just talking about it myself, I'm still happy.
"How many tents do you want to set up on the mountain?" Xu Mian also wants to have a place to live, which should be large and bright, and it is best to open a piece of land to grow some commonly used herbs, and it is convenient to take them as you go.
"You can tell SΓΉ Hongming what you think." At a glance, Xu Mian's thoughts were written on his face.
"Okay." With the permission of the Wing King, Xu Mian waited for it, and went to find Hongrui to send a message to Hongming, his request was not much, so it shouldn't be troublesome.
After a while, Xu Mian came back and sat down again, took a sip of tea and said, "The trap in the words of the Wing King is difficult to guard against. β
"As soon as those who left heard the Winged King's promise to let them go, they immediately turned into a different look, and all their previous words were forgotten." Xu Mian talked to himself about the scene he saw.
"It's a real disappointment." Xu Mian sighed lightly, with a little regret on his face, "The forbidden army is like this, I admired the forbidden army at the beginning, and what a glorious thing it is to become the sword in the emperor's hand." β
When Xu Mian was a child, he had seen the awe-inspiring forbidden army, and since then he has had the ambition to become such a man who stands up to the sky, but unfortunately the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, and the past is unbearable and there is no need to mention it.
"The forbidden army is the hole card in the emperor's hand, is it really not a problem to keep the forbidden army who blindly retreats and loses faith like that?" Xu Mian was very worried about this, the sharper the knife in the emperor's hand, the better, this is the value of the forbidden army, in order to protect the emperor without fear of life and death. It is not known whether it is the environmental impact or the reason itself.
"That's not what you said before." I remember that Xu Mian once talked about letting go of the forbidden army, and there was a dispute with Hongrui.
"Oh. That's a judgment I made rashly without seeing the truth. Xu Mian didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him repeatedly.
"You're too wide." You should know everything that shouldn't be asked and shouldn't be listened to, and there is a deep sense of powerlessness about this, obviously I have already warned why Xu Mian has repeatedly not listened to advice.
"My original intention was for the emperor's safety. This is the duty of a courtier, and the Winged King is too cautious. Xu Mian has become accustomed to facing a cold face, and he can also see a slight difference from it, so as to judge whether the Wing King is unhappy.
Xu Mian grasps the sense of proportion, will not cross the line, and is the best for self-protection as a doctor, which is fundamental, and can also be used in officialdom, the same principle for people and things.
"Erase the memories of many days, they will go back to the past, and the helplessness and hesitation that have occurred during this time will disappear with them." Squinted eyes swept towards Xu Mian on the opposite side. "Don't you know how effective the medicine you made?"
"That's not it." Xu Mian is very confident in the medicine he makes.
"Returning to the familiar environment, familiar people or things, can it really be said that everything is foolproof?" Xu Mian insisted that this was temporary, and could not truly be invisible.
"Why did you become a physician?" Rather than an official history, I wonder if Xu Mian cares too much. It's like a doctor.
"My father wants me to inherit the mantle." Xu Mian recalled his father's serious face, and sighed lightly.
"My father didn't like me to enter the officialdom and said that I was not suitable." Xu Mian is very depressed, officialdom is not suitable for himself, saying that officialdom is dark and dirty, a stepping stone that carelessly becomes someone else's stepping stone, how miserable it is to die at a young age, on the other hand, the imperial doctor is much more relaxed.
"My father counted how dark the officialdom was at that time, and said that it was not enough for others to stuff their teeth when I went in. One day I offended people and I don't know how I died, and my poor father asked the white-haired person to send the black-haired person against his age, saying that I was not filial and could not share my father's worries. Xu Mian wanted to come with a handful of bitter tears, but now he remembers the words buried in his heart and does not vomit or be unhappy, it just so happens that the Wing King is close in front of him, and he is a righteous gentleman. I don't talk nonsense, so I regard the Wing King as a trusted listener.
"I wanted to be a forbidden army at that time, but my body was weak and not suitable for dancing knives and guns, so I had no choice but to give up." Xu Mian recalled that he was so stubborn at that time, and now he thinks that it is really ridiculous and stupid.
"Whenever I had time, my father taught me to memorize some acupuncture points with the names of medicines. Sometimes I get bored and lose my temper often. Xu Mian said with a smile, "I was beaten at that time." β
"I hope that my son will become a dragon and my daughter will become a phoenix, which family does not look forward to it so much, and the children and grandchildren can make achievements." Xu Mian said that he was suddenly curious about the Wing King.
"In my eyes, the hospital is no different from officialdom." Xu Mian continued to say his opinion of the court, "Where there are people, there are entanglements of interests, and few people will plunge into medical books to study, and the imperial doctor is also indispensable for deceitful conspiracies and calculations, and sometimes I have to worry about my life." β
"Especially involved in the fight between the harem concubines, drugged and fetal abortion, it can be said that it is commonplace, and the unlucky one has been replaced by a doctor, if you can't cure it, you have to bear the responsibility for offending people, and if you cure it, you have to offend people, it can be said that you are not a person caught in the middle." Xu Mian sighed more often.
"I don't know what my father thinks, but he said that it was too good to be too hospital, and tried his best to prevent me from entering the officialdom." Xu Mian doesn't have to enter the officialdom, studying medicine is not exclusionary, and he can also open a medical center, so why do he have to let himself enter the Tai Hospital.
"You're gossiping too much." Throw out a sentence lightly.
"I have been buried in my heart for a long time, and today suddenly evokes childhood memories." Xu Mian smiled and was not a little embarrassed, "What about the Wing King, do you want to talk about yourself after listening to my words?" β
With a cold glance and a slight displeasure, Xu Mian was thick-skinned enough to ask about his private affairs.
"I've heard too many rumors, and I can't help but want to confirm it in the face of the main owner." Xu Mian had no intention of inquiring into the Wing King's private affairs, and just had a flash of thought.
"It's not unreasonable for Imperial Doctor Xu to worry about you." Unwilling to talk more about his private affairs, he warned Xu Mian to stop.
"Okay, okay." Xu Mian saw that the Wing King was reluctant to speak, so he hurriedly stopped talking.
"Can you tell us a little bit about the survival game that Wing King said?" Xu Mian was really curious about what the Wing King was going to do.
Accustomed to Xu Mian's noise, let Xu Mian speak, listen to it yourself, and whether you answer or not depends on yourself.
The Winged King didn't answer, and Xu Mian knew that he couldn't ask anything if he asked further, so he began to speculate again, "Should you choose someone who meets the requirements of the Winged King again?" Xu Mian felt that he had hit the point, and looked at the Wing King very confidently.
"It's easy to talk too much." I had to remind Xu Mian again that his mind was not a place. Proper restraint can help you live longer.
"Okay." Xu Mian closed his mouth in amusement.
The secret guard came to report, and all the people who left were left on their stomachs, and no one was missed, and they were now feeding medicine. When they wake up, they will be sent away.
Wrote a letter to the secret guard who sent people back, this letter was to be given to his father, detailing the situation of the forbidden army, as well as some of his own views on the forbidden army.
At night, the moon climbed up the treetops, and in the silence of the mountains and forests, the people in the camp had already slept.
The black figure quietly approached the camp under the cover of the night moon, and the mask on his face flashed cold under the shadow of the moonlight.
Wu Yue couldn't fall asleep because of something in his heart, and he didn't dare to move too much to wake up his companions around him, so he cautiously turned sideways slightly, facing the door. Suddenly, I heard a very slight noise, and at first I didn't pay attention to it, thinking that it was a small animal in the forest, half of which might be a large mouse, coming out at night to feed.
Until the wind blows in at the door. Wu Yue was shocked at the moment that there would be no wind if the door was closed well, so where did the wind come from, he kept an eye on it, and didn't dare to open his eyes to get up to check the situation. Slightly opened a slit and stared at the door, this look shocked a cold sweat, and the black figure was close at hand. How can you still lie down?
Wu Yue instantly opened his eyes and jumped up, kicked Zhang Qi next to him to wake up, Zhang Qi suddenly came and sighed, about to scold, opened his eyes and saw that Wu Yue had already started with the man in black who appeared out of nowhere.
The room is cramped. Restrained, Zhang Qi woke up the others loudly and joined Wu Yue's battle.
As soon as he made a few moves, he heard a hula sound, and the other end of the window was directly knocked open. Silencers entered.
"What people!" Meng Zhou caught the figure of the man in black in the dark room, and he didn't want to pounce on him.
Wu Yue and the man in black fought inseparably, the longer the heart calmed down from the previous shock, and found a lot of problems, the man in black did not carry a weapon, and fought with his bare hands, or it should be said that he was fighting, because just when he was confused and distracted, one lost his hand, and saw that the other party's palm was about to fall on the heart.
"It's the one who once broke the trap." Zheng Cao could see the person's outfit clearly through the faint light shining in, and he could see some abnormalities from the way the man in black moved.
"What!" Meng Zhou didn't understand for a while, and when he was distracted, he was almost hit, and he was secretly frightened that he was lucky to hide quickly.
"This is the survival game that the Winged King said!" Zheng Cao has the leisure to observe the situation and deduce the possible truth.
After a while, I heard the sound of shouting and fighting outside, and I thought that other tents had also encountered a night attack, and I couldn't sleep this night.
The man in black did not make a dead move, avoided the vital point, and slammed the opponent fiercely, withdrawing his hand and dodging where he came from.
None of the tents in the entire garrison escaped the sneak attack, and no one was intact, leaving a lot of external injuries on the body, blue and purple, some were swept to the bridge of the nose by a punch, and there was some blood, no one was injured by a sharp weapon, and it was a blessing in misfortune.
Everyone walked around and saw the miserable situation of their companions, and they were so happy that they pulled their wounds, grinning in pain, and inhaling one after another.
The shouting turned into laughter for a while, and he scurried around to see who was worse than himself, and when he had had enough, he sat together and talked about how he dealt with the man in black.
"Sss Zhang Qi tugged at the corners of his mouth and snorted.
"What's it called, a big man is still afraid of pain." Meng Zhou was giving Zhang Qi medicine, and the bone-setting ointment had to be rubbed open, Zhang Qi had an injury that happened to hurt his waist and eyes, and he couldn't take the medicine, so he called Meng Zhou to come, and the two helped each other.
"What the hell is this?" Meng Zhou's face was gloomy and he spat hatefully.
"It's really unbearable to come out like this in the middle of the night." Zhang Qi didn't know what to say, he never thought that he would encounter this kind of thing, and he felt that it was disturbed.
"Fortunately, the men in black didn't hurt their lives." Wu Yue spoke while rubbing the medicine.
"It's a shame that Wu Yue found out early, otherwise it would have been even worse than now." Meng Zhou complained that the man in black had come at an inopportune time.
"It was a coincidence that I couldn't sleep and opened my eyes when I heard the noise." Wu Yue is a little scared when he thinks about it now, there is too much difference between being beaten passively and actively counterattacking.
"Those people won't come again tonight." Zheng Cao judged the situation by experience.
"I can't sleep if I don't come." was suddenly woken up, and after another big battle, his spirit was still in a tense state, and his sleepiness was completely gone, and Meng Zhou threw down the ointment and was troubled.
"It's not going to be that simple, just to learn." Zheng Cao carefully recalled every word that the Wing King had said at that time.
"You mean there's another time?" Wu Yue's heart sank. "It's not going to be like this every night." It's horrible, so I don't let people rest.
"It's not impossible." Zheng Ke's face was worried, "It's likely to be even more troublesome than tonight." "The Winged King won't say those four words for no reason, there must be a follow-up waiting for them.
"Crow's beak. Say no more. Meng Zhou interrupted Zheng Ke with a somewhat dangerous portent.
The events of the second day verified Zheng Cao's words, and the words became a prophecy that shocked the jaws of countless people, and they felt powerless in the wailing Tongjin.
The reason for the unbelievable appearance was that they were called up early in the morning at dawn and divided into small groups to follow the black-clad masked man who had held them last night to fix that damn trap.
There were twenty or thirty people in a group, and it was impossible to use all of them, half of them went to the trap that had been dismantled, and the rest were not idle, and a row of twenty black-clad masked men stood there with a very amazing momentum, and at a glance they knew that they had seen blood. The sharp momentum is eye-catching.
The rest of the people were scattered by the black-clad masked man and trained separately, and as for the content of the training, you can understand it by listening to the wails from time to time.
"Why are we going to fix traps?" Meng Zhou's tone was low and unmotivated.
"When it was demolished, it would be rebuilt, wasn't it a toss." Zhang Qi folded a green leaf, put it in his mouth and blew it.
"It's just a painstaking effort to dismantle it, and now it has to be reassembled. Which door to smoke. Zhang Qi took down the leaf that couldn't be blown in his mouth, twisted his fingertips hard, the green juice stained his fingers green, and flicked his fingertips to flick off the broken leaves stuck to his fingertips.
"It's annoying." didn't have a good rest and saw the man in black who was holding him close in front of him, who could be in a good mood, and it was already very restrained if he didn't go forward to fight to save face.
"It's just a good way to see how to set up traps." Zheng Ke is reminding the impatient Zhang Qi and Meng Zhou that they don't know exactly what the game is about. It's best not to resist too much, and rash action is a big no-no.
"Indeed." Wu Yue very much agreed with Zheng Cao's words.
"Rest easy." Zhang Qi picked his eyes and smiled at Meng Zhou.
"Come less, you and I are each other." Meng Zhou snorted coldly and pushed back.
Zhang Qi and Meng Zhou picked up the idle articles and quarreled, and they could relieve their worries along the way, and they had to relax for a while.
In the palace. Mu Jinming didn't rush to the household department, but went to the imperial study.
"Father." Mu Jinming saluted.
"What's the matter, it's here early in the morning." Mu Haoyu looked at the youngest son with a smile in his eyes.
"Xi'er has been away from Beijing for more than a month, and Erchen misses it very much." Mu Jinming spit out the truth, "Erchen wants to go to Xi'er." β
"You're trying to get lazy." Mu Haoyu exposed his youngest son's thoughts.
"No. Some are not at ease. Mu Jinming frowned slightly, "The forbidden army has sent back a batch, and the second batch is on the way." β
"There are quite a few people who oppose Chao'er." Mu Haoyu had read the letter sent back by his youngest daughter, and learned about the situation from it, and the secret guard who came back also gave a detailed reply.
"The character of the forbidden army was not expected to be unsatisfactory." Mu Jinming didn't raise his eyebrows, and frowned even deeper.
"The commander of the forbidden army should be responsible." Mu Haoyu didn't expect that the knife in his hand would become dull with the accumulation of time.
"If it weren't for Xi'er's strange trick, how long would I have been kept in the dark." Mu Jinming was extremely impressed by his methods.
"I'll wait for Chao'er to come back." Mu Haoyu can't deal with the forbidden army at this time, and the youngest daughter's approach must have a reason.
"Yes." As soon as Mu Jinming heard it, he knew that his thoughts could not be achieved, which was a pity.
Mu Haoyu waved his hand to drive his youngest son to the household department, his mind should be on business, don't always think about running out.
