In recent decades, wars between countries have been largely confined to the border zone, mainly in small-scale conflicts, and in recent years, there have been few large-scale wars that have broken through the borders and entered the interior of other countries. Of course, there are differences in the national strength of various countries, and strong countries naturally have this ability, but there is no war that does not cost money, food, and soldiers, and the war in which the harvest is less than the expenditure will only allow other countries to pick up the cheap and stab the knife in the back.

The delicate balance that had been maintained for a long time was upset by Yeguo, and the steppe people showed their greedy and ferocious fangs, and removed the base wood that supported the balance. In order to avoid the tragedy of Fengguo, the war machine of every country has been fully activated, and all possible wars have become the first national policy of each country, and the clouds of war seem to be about to envelop this continent.

The people of Fengguo failed to block the King of Daye, the domestic people's grievances were boiling, the people who were victimized in the hinterland were displaced, many people gathered in the mountains and forests, killed officials and robbed warehouses, the fat of fish and rice became hell scorched earth, and thousands of miles of fertile fields became dead land, and they were no longer in the glory of the year. Emperor Fengguo issued a "killing order", calling on the people in the country, anyone who cut off the head of a grassland person can be sent to the government to receive ten taels of silver, and the cumulative number of more than ten is awarded the military post to record military merits.

King Daye turned a deaf ear to the condemnation of the use of wrong flowers in the war, and the grassland people lived by water, and now it was summer, and the water and grass were abundant everywhere, and the cattle and sheep were fat, and the herdsmen under the rule of Daye Wang moved into the depths of the grassland, slowly digesting the fruits of victory snatched from Fengguo, and let other countries criticize and write, anyway, they would not lose a piece of meat. People who don't know the inside of the grassland, except for the endless pasture in their eyes, can't find any trace of the Daye tribe at all.

There was a commotion at the bottom of the mountain, but it was quiet on the mountain.

Anlan Academy is like an old monk who has entered the meditation, no matter how the world is strife, he takes care of himself and recites the scriptures and is not moved by external objects.

But in Pu Cao's view, An Lan was more or less affected, just like the old monk occasionally opened his eyes and looked at the world with compassion.

The gentlemen of the military department made a large Fengguo sand table, and there were obviously more and more people deducing and reviewing the battle of Fengji in front of the sand table every day. The sand was bulldozed and piled up, the wooden soldiers and wooden horses flickered from east to west, the gentlemen stroked their long beards and watched the students fight back and forth, and sometimes they would discuss some tactics for a long time, and they were very busy.

The summer weather outside is already in full swing, as long as the grass is empty, it will go to the door of the military department "Zhige Building" to accept the cool, the Zhige Building of the Military Department is built at the highest place of Anlan College, and it is open on all sides, which is convenient for students to practice the army, so the cool breeze is the most abundant, and it is a good place to enjoy the coolness.

Pu Cao sat on the stone threshold of the Zhigelou Hall, and in his hand he carried a bag of fine sand that had just been sifted from the river at the bottom of the mountain, and after the sand was dried, it would be sent to the sand table, or it would become a guanlou, or a mountain, or a hill and a ravine. Pucao often pays attention to the needs of Anlan Academy, and tries his best to help the gentlemen and students do something, although no one asks Pucao to do it, but in Pucao's heart, everyone in Anlan is regarded as family, just as they treat Pucao with sincerity.

Do you need someone to tell you to do things for your family?

"Xiao Pucao, I'm carrying your daughter-in-law on my back to rub the cool breeze of our military department again." After the military department dismissed school, a gentleman came over to help Pucao turn over the sand and made fun of Pucaodao.

Since Mr. Huo brought this skein back, Pu Cao has carried this unsheathed knife day and night according to Mr. Jin's request, carrying it on his back for eating, studying, going to the toilet, and sleeping with it.

Pucao is already fourteen years old, and boys who are about the same age in more than three episodes should get married. A few years ago, on the day of Brother Zhuzi's marriage, Pu Cao was led by a group of older children to listen to the root of the wall, Brother Zhuzi and his daughter-in-law quarreled on the night they got married, the wooden bed squeaked, and Brother Zhuzi's daughter-in-law may have been beaten and cried, humming and screaming in her voice. The big children outside the wall smiled and didn't go in to pull a handful, what if Brother Zhuzi killed his daughter-in-law.

But it's so strange, when I returned to the door, Brother Zhu and her daughter-in-law held hands and talked and laughed past the small grass hut of Pucao, which didn't look like a fight.

Hey, the world of adults is so complicated.

Since carrying the knife on his back, Pucao has drunk a lot less decoction every day, and the meridians will not swell and swell with pain. Pu Cao thought to herself, it would be good to marry a knife as a daughter-in-law.

But where did the baby come from? The Twisted Chief doesn't look like he can give birth to a baby.

Pu Cao shook his head, threw these godly thoughts aside, handed Mr. a washed melon, Mr. lifted his robe and sat down on the threshold, and broke it with both hands, half of each person, and the melon was cool and comfortable.

"I heard that Mr. Jin has been refining medicine for you recently, so let you bring more preparations when you leave." Mr. nibbled on a melon and spoke vaguely to Pucao, the juice was stained with Mr.'s beard, and several long whiskers were twisted together, and Mr. didn't care, "Pucao, when are you going to go to Daxue Mountain." ”

"Wait for Mr. Huo to come back and leave, Mr. Huo said last time that the mountain is not peaceful now, let me learn some striking techniques before going down the mountain." Pu Cao's current body can't practice martial arts, so he can only learn some fighting techniques that can't practice true qi to defend himself.

"Before leaving, bring the newly printed "Soldiers' Talk" of the Ministry of War, it's okay to flip through it, I can't say that our little Pucao will become a general in the future."

"I don't want to be a general, if I can cure my body, I will come back to Anlan, and when Lao Li is old, I will be the porter, and I will ensure that Anlan will be taken care of." Pucao patted his chest, bit off the butt of the melon, pulled it out and threw it away.

"Okay, good, when you take it, you will carry your daughter-in-law behind your back as our Anlan's door god." The gentleman got up, "Would you like to get a mat for you to sleep on here?" ”

"No, no, I'll go see what Mr. Jin is up to, I haven't seen Mr. Jin for a while." Pu Cao waved his hand again and again, said goodbye to his husband, and jumped down the mountain.

The disease-free building is quiet and quiet, and the fragrance of medicine is very strong.

Before Pucao entered the third entrance, he was stopped by a student on duty at the medical department. "Wait, wait, Pucao, you can't go in now, the gentlemen are trying to find the antidote to the wrong flowers."

"Ah, why did you study the wrong flowers again, aren't the wrong flowers all gone, what's the use of developing this." Pu Cao didn't know that Mr. Jin had been concentrating on the development of the wrong flower for a while, but there was no good progress. Mr. Huo mentioned that since Pucao came to Anlan, how to treat Pucao's Jiuyang body has aroused Mr. Jin's greater interest, after all, the wrong flower has been extinct in the world for hundreds of years, and the antidote to the wrong flower is not in a hurry.

"I heard from the people in the Ministry that King Daye didn't know where to get the wrong flower and planted it on the Giant Elephant Mountain in Fengguo, but one day the Giant Elephant Mountain became a no-man's land, and 30,000 people were poisoned to death. The wrong flower is poisonous, I'm not scaring you. ”

"Then you tell me quickly, and you can go down the mountain in the future to be prepared."

The students of the medical department pulled Pucao to the duty room and popularized the rumors about the wrong flowers to Pucao.

The legend of the wrong flower has been a long, long time, in the long ago, there are medicine pickers who have never seen a few seven-petal safflower that have never been seen next to the cliff pool, less than a foot high, this person does not know what kind of medicinal material the seven-petal safflower is, see the peanut on the water side, the color is bright, extremely good-looking, even the roots are dug up and transplanted to the river where they live, and they are ready to save more medicinal materials to take to the market town together after a few days, and sell them to the people who like flowers and plants. It didn't work out, the next day. People hundreds of miles downstream of the river, as long as they drink the water of this river, their whole body curls up and their bones melt and die in one day. At that time, no one knew what was going on, and it was reported to the emperor layer by layer, and the emperor sent many medical officers to investigate, and after ruling out various possibilities, all the doubts were concentrated on this seven-petal flower. The medical officers found the herb picker who thought it was the plague and fled away, this herb picker was really very lucky, he was afraid that people would pick the seven-petal flower when transplanting it, so he deliberately hid in the bend of the river where no one passed, and usually carried water by the boulder near his home in the upstream of the seven-petal flower. The herb picker explained the origin of the seven-petal flower to the medical officers, and the medical officers carefully protected the flower and brought it back to the capital, and tested it with death row prisoners in front of the emperor, and sure enough, it was caused by the poison of the seven-petal flower. After repeated verification, this flower is not hindered to the touch, but as long as you drink the water of the cultivation place, it will never live. The emperor immediately ordered the flower to be secretly collected and cultivated to deal with the enemy, and later, the emperor conquered many opponents with the poison of the seven-petal flower. After that, he made a few mistakes in his life, and he created one tragedy after another, affecting the number of people, and the intensity of the harm was too sensational. The world thinks that this flower is too poisonous, and the people who are poisoned die miserably, and it is a big mistake to be found by the medicine picker, so the flower is named "wrong flower". There was a benevolent monarch who could not bear the poison of this flower for future generations, so he ordered all of them to be destroyed, and listed the wrong flower as a forbidden flower. In the past few hundred years, there has been no trace of this flower in the world, and occasionally the previous poison masters used a small dose of the wrong flower as raw material to refine the wrong flower scattered poison pill, but the power is only more powerful than ordinary poison.

Pu Cao was startled, and he didn't dare to drink raw water indiscriminately in the future, who knows if there was any wrong flower poison. However, it is possible to pester Mr. Jin to make some mistakes, Cao Cripple's revenge has not been avenged, and he must let Cao Cripple experience the pain of bone melting and shrinking.

Thinking about it again, Mr. Jin will definitely not agree, although the gentlemen are accustomed to Pucao, but if Pucao uses the next three indiscriminate means to take revenge, how disappointed the gentlemen should be.

In the eyes of gentlemen, no matter whether Pucao can practice martial arts or what kind of realm he can cultivate, he should be upright and moral, so as not to live up to Anlan's original intention of learning.

After righteous thoughts, Pu Cao thought that he hadn't seen the strong boy that Mr. Huo brought back from Fengguo today. This kid sees all kinds of unpleasant things on his back every day, Mr. Huo said that he only borrowed three years for treatment, and he didn't return it to him, he was really stingy,

However, I have a large number of Pucao, and I don't care about the strong boy, as the "small land protection" of Anlan College, I have the responsibility and obligation to take the newcomers to experience the beauty of Anlan.
