The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are more mosquitoes on the grassland, which makes it difficult for Zhang Xiaowu to rest all day long. However, he found that there were no traces of mosquito bites on the faces of the children in the city or herdsmen, which was very strange, so he inquired in many ways and learned that the local herdsmen had found a herb that could repel insects. When the number of mosquitoes increases in summer, the herdsmen often soak their children in herbal medicine, so that the herdsmen do not get bitten by mosquitoes at night and sleep very sweetly.

Herdsmen introduced this herb as mosquito repellent grass, which can play a role in repelling mosquitoes and insects, and needs to be soaked in wine for a day and one night. But if you soak it for a short time, you can't exert its medicinal power, but if you soak it for too long, it will be dissipated by the wine. After Zhang Xiaowu tried it, there were really no mosquito bites, and this herb was really magical.

Later, Zhang Xiaowu saw that the herdsmen rarely used it, and inquired and learned that this mosquito repellent grass was not easy to grow, and the herdsmen found it and collected it, and it took a year to accumulate enough for children to use. He exchanged the wolf skins of nineteen grass wolves with the herdsmen, the herdsmen were shocked and asked where these wolf skins came from, Zhang Xiaowu replied honestly, and the herdsmen immediately worshiped him as the god of war, and happily offered mosquito repellent grass, where did he dare to ask for those wolf skins.

After entering the city the next day, he went to the prisoner camp to receive supplies, but saw Guan Xiang wrapping his face in white yarn. Zhang Xiaowu asked curiously, and learned that it was Guan Xiang who was bitten by a mosquito and became inflamed, and his whole face was red and swollen. Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said, You are a rough man, and you also cherish your face.

"You don't know, I'm not serious, the captain was bitten in the back, scratched and scratched his back, and now I'm lying on the bed all day long, and I don't even dare to wear clothes." Guan Xiang said.

Zhang Xiaowu couldn't bear it, so he handed over the prescription of mosquito repellent grass to Guan Xiang and Su Yu to use, Guan Xiang used it first and then found that mosquito repellent grass not only repellent mosquitoes, but also treat inflammation. The gift sent by Zhang Xiaowu also took great care of their weak bodies, after all, one of these two people is a civil official in the army, and the other is a half-hung general.

Su Yu is a noble person in Longdu, although he is a young master, but the Su family has a great business, and never treats his children badly, Su Yu is just gold-plated in the army, and he can't meet the danger of the enemy, but he never expected that the mosquitoes he encountered were more terrifying than the enemy. But it is easy to fall asleep at night, and you have to go out during the day, and you are always uncomfortable by mosquitoes, and you complain all day long, and you can't wait for this battle to end immediately.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaowu came up to repel mosquito grass, and after Su Yu applied it, he found that there was really no mosquito attack, and he was immediately overjoyed, and even the injury on his back was quickly healed. He immediately realized that this thing was a good object for sycophants, and immediately dedicated it to General Cheng Chu.

Although Cheng Chu doesn't need this mosquito repellent grass, his two delicate little ladies can use it. These two girls are Yangzhou skinny horses, a girl from the south of the Yangtze River, who was bought by Wu Gang from the south and served him in the quilt. But after the two girls came to Saibei, they were bitten by mosquitoes, and they cried all day long with red and swollen eyes.

Cheng Chu is a rough old man, but the two little ladies can't stand it, they disturb him all day long, and beg to be sent back to General Longdu's mansion. There is a tigress in Cheng's family in Longcheng, how dare Cheng Chu send them back to Longdu, I am afraid that as soon as they enter the gate of Cheng's house in Longdu, they will be beaten to death by the tigress.

At this time, he got mosquito repellent herbs, and Cheng Chu immediately gave them to the two concubines to use, and the two concubines used them with wonderful results, and they didn't bother him anymore. That Cheng Chu was also very happy, and heard Zhou Senjun say how anxious Su Yu had been recently, thinking of him making money for himself, and said that Su Yu worked hard, but Su Yu has always been greedy for money and afraid of death, and he was also embarrassed for a while how to help him. It just so happened that at this time, Cheng Chu received the order of the military advisor Gu Yong, and the sixth regiment would place the wounded and fugitives on the front line.

Su Yu was depressed, and was asking up and down how the Blue Dragon Army would settle the prisoner camp—and wanted to know where he went. In a hurry, I saw that Zhou Wenqi and Lord Zhou were coming, Su Yu hurriedly greeted him with a smile, Zhou Wenqi laughed and said: "Congratulations, Lord Su, the promotion to the army is just around the corner." ”

Su Yu sat slumped to the side in a daze, he thought too much, and stammered in shock: "Isn't it that I'm going to the Yashan camp to defend against the enemy?" ”

Zhou Wenqi stroked his beard and laughed: "Your kid has been jumping up and down recently, just for fear that he will be kicked to Yashan Mountain, right?" ”

Su Yu said with a bitter face: "How can you hide it from Lord Zhou's eyes, you also know that if you can't do anything, you can only help the general and the adults to do some chores, and go to Yashan Mountain, wouldn't it be sent to death?" Where is the joy today, then you are asking me to prepare a letter to the family, pity me with an eighty-year-old mother and a sigh to be fed, I make so much money, what's the use? What do I want money for, what is it? As he spoke, he stuffed the money bag into Zhou Shenjun's arms.

Zhou Wenqi couldn't cry or laugh, weighed the silver, and said: "Don't howl, you can't die, and the general is reluctant to let you die, let alone let you go to the front line." He knows that you kid is afraid of death, but this time he fulfilled your wish, and he will stay in Mucheng honestly in the future. ”

Su Yu burst into tears and smiled: "What is the reason? ”

Zhou Wenqi changed the prisoner camp into an epidemic camp, especially the soldiers and soldiers who were newly escorted to the battlefield, often fled at night. If those who escaped from the battle by military law should be decided, but now when employing people, and killing too many people, it will lead to a decline in morale, and the military division is forced to let the epidemic camp also temporarily take charge of detaining and training prisoners and fugitives.

Su Yu was puzzled: "Is the epidemic camp sheltering the wounded or detaining the fugitives?" ”

Zhou Wenqi said: "Both are the things of the epidemic camp. ”

Su Yu reacted, treating the wounded soldiers is a great achievement, but guarding the fugitives is a thankless job, one saves people and one imprisons comrades, and with his heels, he can think of what offends people and what things win people over. And how to deal with the fugitives is also a problem, after all, they are not prisoners, and it is impossible to be held at the request of the camp. And only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, if the fugitive has the heart to escape, how can he see it. In case a few of the runaways run away, what will the boss think of him?

Su Yu scratched his head and said: "It's a pity that there is no one under my command to use, and no one can suppress those fugitives, so it's better to kill them, it's a hundred." ”

"If I could have killed them, the military advisor would have killed them a long time ago." Zhou Wenqi said carefully: "Among these people, some are greedy for life and afraid of death, and some are for a reason, but many of them are related to Longdu, do you know whose younger brother or nephew will become a talent in the future, and will not seek revenge from you?" Or the young master of that big family is afraid of death and will be killed by you, won't his family hire a killer to take revenge? He patted Su Yu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Su Xian, being an official not only has to face the enemy's knife, but sometimes you have to face the knife behind you don't know, don't easily kill and offend people." ”

Su Yu hurriedly said: "Xiaguan understands, thank you Brother Zhou for informing me." ”

Zhou Wenqi stretched his waist, yawned and said, "Su Yu, don't tell me that there is no one available under you, isn't there a former 27th regimental military captain in your epidemic village outside the city?" Isn't he the first brave general of the 6th Regiment? ”

Su Yu raised his forehead and laughed: "I understand, I understand." Let him manage the fugitives, that kid has unparalleled archery skills, if anyone escapes, let him shoot him directly. ”

"By the way, your mosquito repellent grass is really good, and the general is very happy."

"It's good if the general likes it, it's good if you like it, Brother Zhou, there are a few new kiln sisters in Cuiyuxuan, why don't we two brothers go and drink some wine to nourish and nourish?" Su Yu smiled narrowly.
