Chapter 24: The Wrong Whereabouts of the Husband

Jiang Wangshu followed Ji Yanqing through the dense forest and arrived at a valley, to be precise, a stockade built in a valley. Two buckets of water were half-spilled, like two strings of tears.

Jiang Wangshu stood outside the valley and sighed at the generosity of the Nanban, and Ji Yanqing introduced: "We have seventy-two villages in Nanban, and this is one of them, the White Wolf Village."

Jiang Wangshu was surprised, the scale of the village in front of him was probably enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, but it was only one of the seventy-two villages? He was also grateful to Ji Yanqing for his frankness.

With Ji Yanqing's leadership, he was not hindered all the way. Ji Yanqing took Jiang Wangshu to a lobby, where a maid brought strong tea, wine and minced meat.

"Jiang Hou drinks wine or tea?" Ji Yanqing asked with a smile.

"Let's have tea." Jiang Wangshu was afraid that he would make a mistake when he drank alcohol, so he chose tea. In fact, he likes wine more, how can there be a martial artist who doesn't drink, how can there be a poet who doesn't drink? Jiang Wangshu is a martial artist, or a martial artist above the second grade, although he himself does not admit that he has reached the realm of martial saints, but his record is too dazzling.

Ji Yanqing held the teapot and poured tea for Jiang Wangshu, but his hand was not steady, and the teapot rolled to the ground. Ji Yanqing smiled apologetically and said, "There is only wine."

She didn't ask Jiang Wangshu's opinion, so she hugged the wine jar and poured wine. The Southern Barbarians have always been so refreshing, they use a big bowl to drink, Ji Yanqing pours wine, one drop less is not full, and one more drop will overflow, this hand makes Jiang Wangshu look at this woman again.

"This wine is a hundred herb wine, Jiang Hou, please." Ji Yanqing raised the bowl, but he didn't spill a drop.

Jiang Wangshu held the pottery bowl with both hands, one point lower, after all, he was a guest, and these etiquettes still had to be paid attention to.

Ji Yanqing was also one point lower, and the two pottery bowls remained at the same level. With a light touch, Ji Yanqing raised her head, revealing her delicate collarbone, and the wine ran down her throat. Jiang Wangshu covered it with one hand, held the pottery bowl with the other, and drank a little slowly.

"What does Jiang Hou think of this wine?" Ji Yanqing's face was so red that he was smoked, and his eyebrows were crooked, like those two short knives.

"There is no better wine in the wine." Jiang Wangshu lowered his head and said truthfully. He has drunk a lot of wine, each with its own taste, just in terms of mellowness, this herb wine is indeed better than the orange capital Huadiao.

"How about another bowl?" Before Ji Yanqing's words fell, he was already kneeling beside Jiang Hou with the wine jar and pouring wine.

"Contemptible people are more than drinkers." Jiang Wangshu excused himself, he had already drunk a bowl, and the wine was strong, the purpose of this trip was to find Shenlong wine, Jiang Wangshu naturally did not forget.

Ji Yanqing didn't persuade again, there were only Jiang Wangshu and Ji Yanqing in the entire lobby, and the two didn't talk very happily with each other, and even only occasionally agreed to each other. Jiang Wangshu didn't ask about the Seventy-two Villages of Nanban or the Nanban Rebellion, and Ji Yanqing didn't mention medicinal materials, and the two tacitly chatted about some inconsequential things.

Jiang Wangshu couldn't guess Ji Yanqing's thoughts, he was cold for a while and kind for a while, and he was worried about the other four, so he was absent-minded.

"Ma'am." A maid shouted in the Southern Barbarian language.

Ji Yanqing smiled apologetically, then left the lobby and returned soon.

"Jiang Hou, your friend has already arrived, and he is arranging it elsewhere," Ji Yanqing saw Jiang Wangshu get up, so he said to the maid, "Haosheng entertains a few distinguished guests, and then feeds the horses with high-quality forage." ”

Jiang Wangshu saw someone leading the eye-catching black horse passing by, so he had to sit down patiently, he was indeed a little worried about the four people, the only one of the four who was old was Qi Guanzhuang, and the remaining three were all children in his eyes, plus Liangzhou and Nanban did not understand the language, if there was a dispute, it would definitely be them.

Ji Yanqing sandwiched a piece of fatty beef for Jiang Wangshu, and asked with a smile, "Jiang Hou is not curious about the Nanban Rebellion I mentioned earlier?"

"I want to hear about it." Jiang Wangshu said. What should come is still coming, and you can't hide from it. Jiang Wangshu was curious that he hadn't seen the Nanban King so far, but it was always difficult to ask, so he could only suppress his curiosity.

"Two years ago, thousands of uninvited guests broke into the Nanban ......"

Ji Yanqing said in a bleak tone.

"There's an invasion from outside." Nanban Scout reports.

"Foreign enemies?" The Southern Barbarian King Li Ge was furious and asked, "Who is it?" Where is it? How many? ”

The scouts could not answer, they only saw the invading enemy from a distance, and they were frightened back by a rain of arrows when they showed their heads out.

The Southern Barbarian King Li Ge took the knife and shouted: "Waste, gather people and horses, I'll see who it is."

The Chu general Du Ruo led thousands of defeated troops and the unknown fate of the overlord Fucuo along the Wujiang River to retreat, and finally arrived in Nanban.

The Nanban Mountain is high and the water is dangerous, and the Chu army was completely lost as soon as it entered the Nanban, and could only break through with a hard head.

"General, there's someone ahead." The scout came to report.

"Catch the mouth alive and ask for directions." Du Ruo's voice was very high-pitched, not like a man at all, and after his husband fell into a coma, Chu Jun only looked at him.

A sparse rain of arrows fell on the Chu army's formation, taking dozens of lives.

Originally, Du Ruo was worried about his husband's wrong injury, plus he was lost, and he didn't want to entangle more, but the other party struck first, and he was not a loser, so the southern barbarians, who didn't know the details, began to fight with the Chu army.

Jiang Wangshu nodded, he really guessed correctly, but asked suspiciously: "Since Madam knows my identity, why did she use Chu to test me?"

Ji Yanqing replied with a smile: "So that Jiang Hou can guess some clues, isn't it?"

Jiang Wangshu was more wary than admiring, this woman was very dangerous. He asked, "Since there are seventy-two villages in Nanban, why are they dragged down by thousands of Chu troops?"

"Jiang Hou listened to me slowly." Ji Yanqing began to reminisce about the past again.

In the first encounter, the southern barbarians occupied the advantage of the terrain, and the Chu people had the advantage of swords and soldiers, each with damage.

Du Ruo guessed that this was Nanban, but fortunately, there was a veteran in the army who had some simple Nanban native language, so he asked for reconciliation, after all, the life and death of the husband were uncertain, and Du Ruo just wanted to return to Chu earlier.

"I am Du Ruo, the general of the Chu State Zhengnan, and I am not hostile." In order to show his sincerity to negotiate peace, Du Ruo only brought a veteran who knew the native language of the Southern Barbarians.

"Li Ge, the king of the seventy-two villages of Nanban." Li Ge looked at Du Ruo, who had a white face and a clear voice, and was a little disdainful.

"Nanban Lady Ji Yanqing," Ji Yanqing asked, "General Du is his daughter." ”

Du Ruo took off his helmet and loosened his hair, revealing a face that was both beautiful and heroic, and asked, "How did Madame know?"

In fact, Du Ruo's daughter's body is not much of a secret, but she has always shown people in men's clothes, and she has been in the army for many years, holding a murderous sword instead of an embroidery needle, which makes people ignore her identity as a woman.

"Only women know women best." Ji Yanqing stepped on the greedy Li Ge fiercely, and still maintained a smile on his face.

Ji Yanqing was right, so Du Ruo could tell that Ji Yanqing was smiling on his face, but he was actually hostile.

Naturally, she didn't care about this, so she said, "I was offended before, please forgive me."

Obviously, although Li Gegui is the king of the seventy-two villages of Nanban, he has a virtuous helper, or he is a rake ear, and Ji Yanqing is the one who speaks. Ji Yanqing said, "General Du wants to ask for directions?"

"Well," Du Ruo nodded, and said worriedly, "My husband was struck by a thunderbolt, and although he was still breathing, his vitality almost dissipated. ”

"Can I go and see it?" Ji Yanqing said, "Maybe I have a way." ”

Du Ruoxi was overjoyed, she knew that even if she returned to Chu, it would probably be useless to find the medical officer, so she took Ji Yanqing to the Chu army formation.

"Ma'am," said Rigo, with some concern, "I will go too." ”

Li Ge's worries are not unreasonable, in case the Chu army hostages Ji Yanqing, it is really difficult for him to rake his ears, after all, on one side is a strong lady, and on the other side is the Nanban homeland.

"Stay there." Ji Yanqing didn't pay much attention to Li Ge, even in front of outsiders.

Li Ge had no choice but to sit, and he suddenly had a bold idea to kill Ji Yanqing with the help of Chu Jun. Rigo was taken aback by this bold idea, and did not dare to think about it any more.

"It's a serious injury, but it's not incurable." Ji Yanqing said confidently. The reason why she is willing to help Du Ruo is only because the other party is also a woman, and only women know women best, so she has compassion. Moreover, he can also take the opportunity to win over Du Ruo, and behind Du Ruo is the Chu State. Although there is no blood feud between Nanban and the Mandarin Kingdom, border disputes occur from time to time, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

When Du Ruo heard that he was saved, he cried with joy, his body sank, and he wanted to bow down.

Ji Yanqing held Du Ruo, she couldn't afford this big gift, not to mention that she didn't dare to pack the ticket, she said: "I also ask General Du to go to the village with me to stay for a few days, I don't dare to say that I am ten percent sure, seventy percent is there."

Du Ruo's heart was moved, seventy percent is really not low. She simply ordered the army to be stationed nearby, not to disturb the people, and led dozens of cronies to follow Ji Yanqing back to White Wolf Village, one of the seventy-two villages.

"General Du is not afraid that I am a trap?" Ji Yanqing said with a smile.

When the veteran of the Chu State translated this sentence to Du Ruo, Ji Yanqing found that her expression had not changed at all.

"Anyway, when I return to Chudi, I'm waiting for death, and it's not interesting for me to live alone." Du Ruo doesn't look like a battle-hardened general at the moment, but like a little woman, even Ji Yanqing is almost stunned.

Ji Yanqing stretched out his hand and said, "It's like a friend with my sister at first sight, why don't you become sisters?"

The two hands that were supposed to hold the embroidery needle but both held the murder sword clasped together, announcing the friendship between Nanban and Jing Chu.

"Sister, it's inconvenient for a woman's family to deal with your man's injury, I'll go and bring some food to your people," Ji Yanqing finished speaking, then pulled Li Ge's ear and scolded, "You went to give medicine to General Fu, did you hear?" ”

Ji Yanqing drove a group of pigs, cattle and sheep to the Chu army camp outside the village, and it was naturally an unexpected joy to be able to make friends with the Chu State. I hope that the hairy Li Ge will not even be able to do the trivial matter of applying medicine, if he goes on a business trip, I am afraid that Nanban will not only not be able to make more friends, but will also have one more big enemy.

When Ji Yanqing walked away, Li Ge sneered and said, "A tigress, I'm smiling."

Li Ge knew some Liangzhou official dialect, and thought that Du Ruo couldn't understand it, but who knew that Du Ruo replied in Liangzhou official dialect: "Madam, this is true temperament."

After knowing that Fu Cuo's injuries were sure to heal, Du Ruo's face, which had always been cold, also improved, and the smile he showed was like a vanilla blooming, like a green lotus budding, which stunned Li Ge.

In the end, it was the king of the seventy-two villages of Nanban, Li Ge came back to his senses before Du Ruo found the clue, this rough man was willing to do it, and then said: "Later, I will give medicine to General Fu, and ask my wife to help on the side."

"It should." Du Ruo returned the salute and said.

Leaving Du Ruo behind, Rigo went into the cellar for a while, and then held a small clay jar. Du Ruo took the small pottery jar, a little curious about what kind of magic medicine was in it, she naturally knew the injury of her husband, and only hung with half a breath, her original plan was to ask the medical officer to renew her life after returning to Chu, and then go to ask the medical saint Pu Miao to help.

"Pull me up." Rigo's voice came from the cellar.

Du Ruo half-knelt on the edge of the cellar, reached out and grabbed Rigo, and with a little force, Rigo came up. Li Ge grabbed Du Ruo's hand casually, and told her that this magic medicine is called Shenlong Wine, which can cure all diseases, but can live and die with flesh and bones.

Du Ruo broke free from Li Ge's big hand and whispered, "Please also ask the king to save my husband."

Rigo held his dying husband around and twisted around until he entered a secluded room and placed him on a fur blanket. Du Ruo also entered the house with a small pottery jar in his arms, kneeling beside his husband, with mixed feelings in his heart. The more hope was in front of her, the more nervous she became, after all, Ji Yanqing only said that she was seven points sure, what if it was the remaining three points?

Rigo closed the door, pinned the deadbolt, and lit a lamp. He saw that Du Ruo was a little vigilant, so he explained: "You can't see the wind when you take medicine."

Du Ruo nodded, the truth is right, and now that there are requests from others, it is indeed inappropriate to entangle these details. Just as Du Ruo let her guard down, Rigo stopped her from behind and hugged her.

"Beauty, what do you care about this person who is going to die or live, it is better to obey the king and allow you to be the lady of the Nanban." Li Ge was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his strength was endless, and it was another sneak attack, Du Ruo couldn't break free at all.

Du Ruo knew that shouting was useless, and while struggling, he threatened in a low voice: "If you use force, I am afraid that my life will not be saved when my sister knows."

"As long as the beauty obeys me, I can save your husband." Li Ge tied Du Ruo tightly, and a big mouth gnawed at her face.

"Shameless." Du Ruo tried her best to avoid Li Ge's closeness, even though she was the general of Zhengnan in the four expeditions and four towns of the Chu State, but what stood out was only swordsmanship, not brute force, and her strength was really not enough in front of Li Ge.

"If you want to save him, there is only one way, you choose." Li Ge let go of Du Ruo, unsealed the small pottery jar, and slowly poured it on the ground.

This small pottery jar is not big, Du Ruo has touched it before, it is estimated that there is at most half a catty, and I am afraid that the kung fu has gone to two taels at this time.

"I promise." Du Ruo cried quietly.

Li Ge put down the small pottery jar and took Du Ruo into his arms, and this time Du Ruo did not struggle. Rigo smirked, "It's good to be like this earlier." Beauty, don't worry, I will revive this dead man, and then you can be Mrs. Nanban in peace, as for Ji Yanqing......"

The husband was lying on the ground like a piece of rotten wood, unaware of everything. Du Ruo took off his armor in front of him, and then took off his deep clothes......
