In the face of Chen Ziqian's repeated solicitations, Lin Xiaodao was actually already moved, but he really cared about his seriously ill old mother and couldn't get out.

In fact, Chen Ziqian's enthusiasm for helping during this period of time was also seen by the old lady.

After all, Lin Xiaodao's family background is not bad, and the old lady used to be from a big family, so she has knowledge and knows the current situation, how can she not know Chen Ziqian's intentions?

In addition, Lin Xiaodao is her son, and many times she doesn't need to say too much, and she can see what Lin Xiaodao is thinking with some simple changes in expression.

In the backyard of the county government, the county doctor will come over every day to ask for a pulse, and today is no exception.

Lin Xiaodao was by the bedside, with an anxious expression.

The elderly's health is getting worse, although the living and eating conditions have improved a lot, and the medicine has not been interrupted every day, but the condition has not improved, and the face looks worse day by day.

After all, the county doctor is a small local doctor, with limited medical skills, and many times he asked for pulses ended in shaking his head bitterly, and this time he frowned tightly and failed to speak.

"Doctor, what is my mother's illness, and why hasn't it gotten better for days?" Lin Xiaodao couldn't help but ask.

The county chief physician sighed and said: "The old lady's pulse is weak, sometimes urgent, sometimes slow, if the lower official is not wrong, Ling Tang should have suffered from anemia in his early years, although he can't see too many problems on weekdays, but this time he has worked too hard, resulting in chaos in the body, I am afraid that it has already reversed the yin and yang." ”

"What do you mean by this, but please tell the Imperial Doctor bluntly."

"The old lady's body is already overdrawn, and now it is the candle in the wind, I am afraid that it will not last a few days before it ......"

The county doctor didn't finish his words, sighed and left with the medicine box on his back.

Lin Xiaodao's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he couldn't slow down for a moment in a daze.

On the bed, the old lady leaned on the high pillow and called weakly: "Knife." ”

"Mother!" Lin Xiaodao wiped his moist eyes, knelt on the side of the bed with a smile and said, "It's just a small symptom, the county doctor will have a way to treat it, and my mother can recuperate with peace of mind." ”

"I know my body." The old lady shook her head, and suddenly changed the topic: "Why didn't you see the little general come to visit today?" ”

"The rebels are leading troops to attack, and the adults are shouldering heavy responsibilities, and they must be entangled in military affairs and can't leave." Lin Xiaodao's eyes looked a little gloomy.

The old lady said lightly: "I see that this son's eyebrows are sharp and his eyes are full of evil, if he is not a person who died early, he will not be a thing in the pool one day." ”

"What my mother said is that the wisdom of adults is not comparable to that of children, and the way of using soldiers is something that children have never seen in their lives." Lin Xiaodao said with a serious face: "He is like opening the eyes of the sky, he can always anticipate the enemy first, and he is more than one step or two steps ahead." ”

"How can it be?" The old lady was a little surprised, her son was arrogant, she knew it, she hadn't even heard her son praise anyone since she was a child, and she was absolutely admired from the bottom of her heart to be able to say these words.

Lin Xiaodao saw that his mother liked to listen, and then told him in detail about his understanding of Chen Ziqian.

From 800 remnants against 3,000, to 2,500 against 10,000, even this battle was expected earlier, and benevolent government was applied, opening up wasteland, and borrowing grain rain to resist the enemy.

The old lady was shocked when she heard this: "At such an age, she already has the posture of riding a dragon, even hundreds of years ago, the martial emperor of Dayan, who planned to determine the world, was not able to meet it at this age. ”

"Mother thinks he's going to be the overlord of the world!?"

The old lady shook her head and said: "This son was born with a premature appearance, and now he is helpless and prematurely famous, which is probably not a good omen." ”

"Mother cultivated Fangshi in her early years, is there a way to crack it?" Lin Xiaodao was a little anxious, Chen Ziqian treated him like a brother, and there was a bond between the two, so he naturally didn't want Chen Ziqian to be in trouble.

It's just that before the old lady could speak, there was a sudden knock on the door: "But Lin Xiaodao General Lin?" ”

Before the gate was closed, a soldier in black armor stood in the doorway, exuding an oppressive aura from his body.

Lin Xiaodao looked back at the person who came, and immediately became vigilant: "Who are you, what are you looking for?" ”

"General Lin, I am on the orders of the lord, I have come to inform the general, the rebels have gathered 50,000 horses and horses, I am afraid that Zhilin County will not be able to hold on for a few days, my lord has been busy with official business recently, so let the general make plans early, if there is any need, just ask, my lord said, as long as you can help, you will do your best."

"This ...... Fifty thousand troops!? Lin Xiaodaorao was a soldier under the command of Assassin Shi, and he couldn't help but tremble when he heard this number.

Zhilin County can only have 2,500 men and horses, how can it stop the rebels of a full 50,000?

"Mother, my lord has come to inform me of this, I am afraid that he deliberately wants us to go out of the city first to avoid the disaster of war, but mother, your body is ......" Lin Xiaodao was a little difficult.

He knew Chen Ziqian's intentions, but he just wanted to leave, and his mother's body couldn't withstand the toss.

The old lady also narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this, although she looked weak, but the corners of her mouth gradually showed a smile: "Dao'er, what do you think of the little general, is it okay?" ”

"This ...... The mother is seriously ill, and the child has no intention of thinking that he is willing to serve your old man at the bedside. ”

"Stupid...... cough cough ...... "As soon as the old lady got angry, she coughed violently, and even coughed up a trace of blood.

Lin Xiaodao hurriedly helped to smooth his back, and it took a while to calm down.

"Although this son has the appearance of an early death, but it is unbreakable, he is so smart, he has already thought of a way out, why do you think he is so enthusiastic about you as a person who is not a relative, he is interested in your ability, and wants to accept you into the service."

The old lady directly broke this matter and said: "Everyone has a fate, but there is also a saying that he changes his life against the sky, and what he is doing is to subdue all the forces that can help him change his life against the sky." ”

"The child knows the deep meaning of the adult, but the mother ...... you"

"I'm already a dying person, you're different, you're the last bit of blood of the Lin family, I can't delay your future, follow him, maybe one day you can revive the glory of the Lin family."

The old lady's gloomy face rejuvenated, and she said with some excitement: "Son, if there is really that day, I will see your ancestors and ancestors below, and I will be able to straighten my back." ”

Lin Xiaodao burst into tears, and his hands were tightly grasped by the old lady, what was contained in this, only their mother and son knew best.

The Shadow Squad member outside the door was still waiting for a reply, and it wasn't until a long time later that Lin Xiaodao came out of the room and said, "Go back and tell your lord, my mother is critically ill, and when Xiaodao sends her mother on the last journey, in the future, but there will be a sending, Xiaodao will never give up!" ”

"Whoa!"

The Shadow Officers surrendered their orders and hurried back to the barracks.

In the handsome tent, hearing the report of the Shadow Members, Chen Ziqian's spirit immediately perked up: "This was said by Xiaodao himself?" ”

"It's true, before coming back, my subordinates personally asked the county doctor, and the old lady is indeed running out of time."

"Stand down."

Chen Ziqian frowned slightly, he couldn't influence Lin Xiaodao with so much effort, but he didn't expect that he would be relieved of the old lady's words in the end.

"It seems that this old lady is also a person with a story!"
