Shang Jiong, the only Lang Zhong under Li Zicheng, has superb medical skills and the ability to bring the dead back to life, so he is respected by everyone as an old immortal. In particular, this old immortal is not only compassionate, but also peaceful, and is loved by everyone, even among all Li Zicheng's generals, he is also the most respected.

Before the army entered Shangluo Mountain to recuperate, the old immortal was sent to Shaanxi by Li Zicheng, the king of Da Chuang, especially the seven counties run by Lu Shi in Shaanxi, to listen to Lu Shi's virtual reality, find out Lu Shi's whereabouts, and learn Lu Shi's methods.

After more than a month, I hurried back at this time, hoping to bring good news to Li Zicheng, who was in trouble.

Shang Jiong had just come in, and Liu Zhongmin, who was sitting near the door, was the first to stand up, give up his stool, laughed and grabbed his thin hand, and said enthusiastically and loudly: "Old fairy, you are back, hard work, come, hurry up and sit here to roast the fire." ”

The old fairy smiled tiredly, and said politely to this rude chief sentinel: "Master Liu is polite, how dare you work hard for King Chuang and everyone?" Let's sit down with Liu Ye. ”

Liu Zhongmin, who has always been arrogant and domineering, is so respectful to the old immortals, which shows the status of the old immortals in the army. In fact, it is also, in the pole, of course, there is a lack of medical treatment, a headache and brain fever will kill people, not to mention that when fighting on the move, a small knife can completely kill people, at this time, the military is the best life-saving straw for everyone, therefore, no one can and dare not offend this old fairy.

"Come on, come on, sit next to me." Li Zicheng showed a rare smile, beckoned the old fairy to his side, patted an empty seat beside him and shouted. That person was the one who had just left, Mrs. Gao, who was closest to Li Zicheng.

"See King Da Chuang, thank you." Shang Jiong respectfully gave Li Zicheng a salute according to the number of courtesies. In fact, in this barracks, everyone was originally born and died together, Li Zicheng was also kind when he became a person, so everyone met and was not very strict about etiquette, but whether it was at the beginning or now, the etiquette is the most strict, and there are only two people in this army, one is Tian Jianxiu, and the other is this old immortal. This may also be due to the fact that both of them have read books.

"Old immortal, you and I have been suffering for many years, how many times have you said it? Don't look like that. Li Zicheng was in a better mood, so with a smile on his face, he pulled the empty chair closer to the brazier, slapped the chair surface, and invited the old fairy to sit beside him again.

After the salute, Shang Jiong raised his head, but he couldn't help but be stunned, seeing that Li Zicheng was already very different from when he left the team to carry out the task, his face was already very different, he was nervous at that time, stepped forward and whispered: "Please also ask King Da Chuang to stretch out his hand and let me see." His expression was already full of nervousness and worry.

Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, although this was the old fairy's occupational disease, it could be seen that the old fairy was loyal to himself.

Thinking of this, he smiled, pretended to be careless and stretched out his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I don't sleep well, I don't eat well, I feel tired, don't worry about it, old fairy." ”

Shang Jiong didn't speak, picked up Li Zicheng's wrist, closed his eyes, and carefully cut his pulse, at this time, everyone held their breath together and watched the movements of the old fairy.

After a while, Shang Jiong put down Li Zicheng's hand, and then said to Li Zicheng: "Please open your mouth and let me see King Da Chuang's tongue." ”

Li Zicheng opened his mouth as he said, stuck out his tongue, Shang Jiong poked his head out to look carefully, and then carefully sniffed Li Zicheng's breath, then retreated and let out a long breath.

Li Guo poked his head out and asked worriedly, "Old Immortal, how is King Da Chuang's body?" Only he, Li Zicheng's own nephew, dares to ask this, and can ask it, otherwise, according to Li Zicheng's current temperament, it can't be a disgusting reprimand.

The old fairy let out a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that King Da Chuang is not resting enough, and his liver is a little stronger, as long as he sleeps a few good nights, and then takes the side medicine, he will be fine." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was not relieved, but smiled bitterly together. This method is indeed simple, but the problem is, with the current situation, how can everyone still sleep?

Li Zicheng also laughed and said: "The current situation is not good, everyone has no heart to sleep, isn't it?" How can we be reassured that we have spent the night here and there is no good way to solve the problem? ”

At Li Zicheng's insistence, Shang Jiong sat next to Li Zicheng, stretched out his hand, approached the brazier to roast his hand that was already frozen, and rubbed it for a long time before he felt his blood dissolve, turned his head and asked Li Zicheng: "What, is it difficult in the mountains during the time I went out?" ”

When Shang Jiong asked, Li Zicheng, who had just become cheerful, couldn't help but sigh, shook his head helplessly, and began to pour bitter water on the old immortal. "The consumption of grain is too large, but Shangluoshan is small and poor, so it can't be supplied at all, so we all decided to leave here, go to Hubei, and go to Henan to find a place to rest and train the army." Then he smiled bitterly, scratched his head and continued: "However, just after getting the report, Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Cao and more than a dozen brothers have already rebelled and surrendered to the imperial court. Speaking of this, he slammed his fist on his knee with hatred, "Old fairy, you know, the combat power of these guys is much stronger than those village warriors, and once they are carefully equipped by the government, the combat power is also inseparable from the official army, and now, our road to the south will be completely blocked by their pickled things." And the eastward advance is getting closer and closer to the henchmen of the imperial court, which is even more impossible. To the west, as you know, we don't have the strength to fight with Lu Shi, and now, we can only go north, but the grain in the north has been looted by our army and almost nothing, and now we are thinking about what to do. ”

The old fairy didn't speak, just listened quietly and nodded secretly.

"The old fairy rushed back overnight, come, drink some hot soup to warm up first." A peaceful female voice sounded in the ears of the old fairy Shang Jiong, and when she looked up, it was Mrs. Gao holding a large bowl, standing beside her, and handed it over with a smile.

Shang Jiong quickly stood up, bent down to salute, and then took the big bowl in Mrs. Gao's hand: "There is Mrs. Lao worried, thank you." ”

"What does the family say thank you? But we still want to thank you for your hard work this time. Mrs. Gao said, and then urged: "Drink it while it's hot, it's not good if it's cold." ”

In the big bowl is Qingshuiwo eggs, which are really hot, and when you take a sip gently, it is still a little sweet. This simple food, in the current Li Zicheng's army, is also a precious thing.

"Hahaha, my sister-in-law is eccentric, I only know that the old fairy is hard, but I don't see my brother working day and night, and I don't give me a few eggs, haha. Now, I'm dying of hunger. Liu Zhongmin immediately quipped.

"Go, just you have a lot of things, everyone looks at your merits and hard work, how can you forget? King Chuang kept praising you behind your back, saying that if you didn't help support him, he would be exhausted. ”

flattered Liu Zhongmin for a few words, and then changed the conversation, and said to Li Zicheng, "Zicheng, everyone is hungry all night, are you chatting while eating?" ”

Li Zicheng nodded, and agreed to come down.

Mrs. Gao immediately beckoned outside, so a group of pro-soldiers came in with a basket and some large basins of dishes and chopsticks, poured a bowl of hot soup for each general with their hands and feet, handed a few potatoes or a steamed bun, and then quietly retreated.

Since there was food, the atmosphere in the big tent also became lively, chatting and laughing with each other, and relaxing their spirits.

Mrs. Gao pulled a chair and sat behind Li Zicheng, constantly adding hot soup to Li Zicheng's bowl, but she looked like a good wife and mother.

Li Zicheng drank a bowl of hot soup, handed it to Mrs. Gao, wiped his mouth and said, "I'm full, don't want it." Then, he continued to say to the old immortal: "The current situation is like this, we have to leave for the sake of food, but we are already surrounded in this Shangluo Mountain, and we are really embattled. ”

The old fairy held the bowl and drank it slowly, but did not speak. But his face became even more sad.

Seeing the old fairy's face, Li Zicheng felt that things were not good, and what he brought back was definitely not good news, so he asked tentatively: "Old immortal, in Lu Shi's little thief, what news can you hear that is unfavorable to us?" When I asked this, I was shocked in my heart, if I was blocked to the north again, then I was really desperate now. I hope that with Lu Shi's temperament, he will not really occupy Shanxi and let himself die in danger.

was brought up by Li Zicheng, and the generals who were originally eating stopped eating in their hands one after another, and all their eyes were fixed on the old fairy, waiting for him to tell the news.

The old immortal saw that the big tent had become dull again, so he put down the bowl, looked at the people in the tent, sighed, shook his head lightly, and said: "I did find out a lot of things in the Lu Shi base area, in fact, those are not secrets, but I hurried back this time because Lu Shi was going to send troops. ”

"Oh?" Li Zicheng was stunned, he really didn't expect that Lu Shi, who only fought back after being beaten and was not a little aggressive, would become active?

"He's in the army?" Liu Zhongmin and others also confirmed the news here, and after getting the approval of the old immortals, Li Zicheng asked: "What direction is his soldier pointing to?" Don't occupy Shanxi. Then he said worriedly: "Occupy Shanxi, but this is the right time, we are leaving, the official army and King Qinwang have not returned, and Shanxi has almost no resistance power." Not to mention, Lu Shi's thief is really good at picking and choosing. After a pause, he said a little depressedly: "But it also cut off our way back to the hinterland of Shanxi." ”

"King Chuang, generals, this time the thief of Lu Shi went on an expedition, not for Shanxi." The old fairy interrupted everyone's argument with a gloomy face.

"He's not for Shanxi, but for what?" Li Zicheng asked in surprise.

"He is for us, personally leading 10,000 cavalry, and he will be killed in Shangluo Mountain in a few days."
