Chapter 161: A Chance to Get Rich

The officers in the battalion arranged accommodation for Wang Ping'an and others, and after a night without a word, Wang Ping'an rested, and slept until almost five watches.

In the summer, it dawned early, and it was already dark outside on the fifth watch, Wang Ping'an was lying on the bed, and suddenly heard the sound of drums outside, followed by the sound of footsteps in the barracks everywhere, and the soldiers ran out of the dormitory.

Ouyang Li whispered outside the window: "Master, General Wei has gathered the drums, should we go too?" ”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "What does he have to do with us, why do you want to go?" I heard Ouyang Li say again: "General Wei's people are waiting for you outside, and he wants to see you before gathering generals." ”

Wang Ping'an had no choice but to get up, put on his clothes, and push the door to take a look, only to feel dazzled in front of him! Well, his little guards have all changed into armor, all of them are bright and bright, shining in the sun, similar to metal men!

Ouyang Li said with joy on his face: "Master, General Wei is really interesting, he allocated ten sets of armor to us, all of them are quack, this is the master's armor, I will serve the master in armor!" "He was holding a brand new suit of armor in his hand, and even his boots were inlaid with iron plates, and they were shiny!

Wang Ping'an took the armor, his hand sank, he frowned and said: "I'm afraid this armor has to be more than 30 pounds, wearing it on my body, it will crush me to death, how can I go to watch the parade!" ”

Ouyang Li hurriedly said: "Master, we have not joined the army, but we have the opportunity to participate in the military parade, this is a great opportunity, you will be settled, anyway, you will not wear it for a day, as soon as the parade is over, just take it off!" ”

Wang Ping'an couldn't, so he let them into the house and put on their armor. This set of armor is quite good, but the better the armor, the more I feel, the helmet alone weighs five or six pounds, and when I put it on my head, I will be dizzy and dizzy!

Obediently, it's not easy to be a soldier, not to mention wearing armor and holding a halberd, just wearing armor is uncomfortable enough, but I don't have the strength to hold the halberd!

Ouyang Li and the others escorted Wang Ping'an out of the house and went to see Wei Zhenyuan. After arriving at the big house, I saw Wei Zhenyuan wiping his mouth, and the military doctor in the camp had already decocted the medicine and sent him to take it, and he had just finished drinking it.

Seeing Wang Ping'an's arrival, Wei Zhenyuan beckoned: "Xiao An'an, come over and see if the eyes of a certain family are all ready?" ”

Wang Ping'an came close and saw Wei Zhenyuan's left eye, the white and red threads of the eyes had receded, and from the outside, it was no different from normal eyes. He nodded and said, "It seems that this flavored Sangju Siwu soup is facing your symptoms, and your eyes are indeed a lot better, is it still painful?" ”

Wei Zhenyuan shook his head and said: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's very comfortable, and now the left eye sees things as clearly as the right eye." That's okay, is there a root? ”

Wang Ping'an looked at his eyes, thought for a while, and said: "There is no such thing as going to the root and not going to the root, you will make this mistake in the summer, one is related to your internal fire is too big, and the other is that the things you use are not clean, if you don't wash your hands before rubbing your eyes, can you not get eye disease!" ”

He asked someone to take the pen and paper, and opened another recipe, exchanging the red peony in front of the Siwu soup for white peony, changing the raw land for cooked land, returning to the beard for returning to the body, and then adding mulberry chrysanthemum to nourish blood and drive away wind.

After writing it, he handed the prescription to the military doctor in the camp and said: "This prescription, decoction in water, one dose a day, three days in a row, then one dose every two days, five doses, this will not be done again throughout the summer." Wait until next summer and feel uncomfortable in your eyes, take this medicine in advance, and you can prevent the recurrence of eye diseases. ”

Wei Zhenyuan nodded and said: "Okay, this is good, curing the disease is not a skill, if you can prevent it from happening again, it is called real kung fu!" He asked someone to take a bronze mirror, looked at his eyes carefully, and said with a smile: "Very good, this inspection will definitely not go wrong again!" "Happy, laughing.

He stood up, took Wang Ping'an's hand, and said, "Xiao An'an, you are a good person, and your medical skills are even better." Let's go, accompany a certain family to the military parade, you will follow the side of a certain family, and enjoy the cheers of the army! ”

Wang Ping'an was quite reluctant to go, so he said: "I haven't eaten yet, if I don't eat in the morning, I will be dizzy!" "With such a heavy helmet on your head, you won't get dizzy!

Wei Zhenyuan ignored it, pulled him out of the big house, and said with a smile: "Let's eat with the army later, it can be regarded as having fun with the people!" ”

Wang Ping'an had no choice but to straighten his helmet, ride a war horse with him, and gallop outside the camp! It was completely different from the drum gathering general he imagined, Wei Zhenyuan did not sit in the lobby and ascend to the hall, but galloped all the way, and his recruit guards were on top of a chariot, holding a big drum, marching and beating at the same time!

With the sound of drums, the generals of the government soldiers who had been prepared for a long time shouted, and every time Wei Zhenyuan ran to a camp, the generals who were waiting in front of the camp would pat their horses and follow, while the infantry followed the sequence, one by one, and ran out of the barracks!

After a while, Wei Zhenyuan ran out of the barracks, behind him was already dusty, more than 3,000 cavalry followed closely, iron hooves stepped on the ground, like tens of thousands of drumsticks hitting the earth, rumbling and shaking, the momentum was extraordinary!

Wang Ping'an immediately looked back, and his heart, which was originally quite calm, also began to get excited. This is the galloping of the army, no wonder good men want to fight the world with a horizontal sword, this taste is really good!

In the past, I didn't understand Emperor Yang of Sui and Taizong of Tang, why they liked to drive in person so much, but now I understand. There are only 3,000 iron horsemen behind him, and there is such a momentum, if it is replaced by 30,000, 100,000, 200,000...... Hey!

Out of the barracks, on the avenue, running only two miles to the land, then to a large open space, presumably this is the school military field!

This school military field is extremely wide, the radius is at least three or four miles, in the easternmost end, there is a small river, behind the river is an earthen wall, the earthen wall is not too high, far less than the city wall of Luoyang City, even Xuzhou's is not as good, it is equal to the city wall of ordinary county town, and it is not too long, not even a mile. Next to the earthen wall, there is a hill, standing alone at the end of the school military field, I don't know what it is for!

At this time, the military field of the school was already crowded, at least 70,000 or 80,000 people came to watch the excitement, there were also people in Luoyang City, and there were also people from surrounding villages and towns, and these people were waiting to see the parade.

Among the crowd, there are countless small merchants and vendors, pushing carts and baskets, shouting loudly, what steamed buns, gruel and various snacks, all kinds of snacks, all kinds of snacks are used. Some people even drove the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep raised at home to sell them noisily!

There was a lot of noise around the school military field, not like a place for military drills, but like a big gathering, and the people came to catch the market!

In the midst of the crowd, there were hundreds of tables, and next to each table was a red flag, I don't know what it was for! Around each table, there were countless people on the inside and three layers outside, shouting and screaming, and there were three or four other people at the table, some screaming, some writing hard, and I don't know what they were memorizing!

Running into the school military field, Wang Ping'an thought: "Event, it seems that every school army in Luoyang can drive economic development and promote commercial prosperity, which is somewhat similar to the modern sports meeting, athletes in the stadium are running, and red flags are fluttering outside the field!" But it's strange, what are those tables for, and a red flag is planted, could it be that they are selling tofu brains? It doesn't look like it! ”

As soon as Wei Zhenyuan entered the field, he waved his horsewhip and shouted: "I'm tired of running, everyone will rest for a while, and assemble in three quarters of an hour!" So saying, he left the brigade and ran towards the river, and the cavalry behind him dismounted with a bang, and ran into the crowd, looking in the direction as if they were looking for a table.

Wang Ping'an pursed his lips and said, "Go and see, what are you doing over there?" ”

Ouyang Li and the others agreed, and also ran towards the crowd, while Wang Ping'an hit a horse and followed Wei Zhenyuan and went to the river with him.

When he ran to the river, Wei Zhenyuan immediately looked back, with a smile on his face, and smiled at Wang Ping'an: "Xiao An'an, you see, there are a lot of people here this season, and it is estimated that a certain family will win a big victory this time!" ”

Wang Ping'an reined in his horse, but said: "General Wei, this is all at the venue, why don't you parade the troops, but let them rest first?" It's not far away, and it's a quarter of an hour of rest, is it too long? He spent more time resting than running, so it's no wonder he was puzzled.

Wei Zhenyuan laughed and said very mysteriously: "Xiao An'an, you will understand later!" Hmph, I want to see a certain family make a fool of themselves, but a certain family wants them to steal chickens and rice, and see who of us is ruthless! ”

Wang Ping'an scratched the back of his head and thought: "On this hot day, when the army is assembled, you will give another speech, and then conduct the exercise, I am afraid that it will be just in time for noon, when the weather is hot, the armor is hot, and when you are sweating, it is difficult to think of ugliness!" ”

At this time, the infantry unit arrived, and like the cavalry, the captains who led the troops shouted to them to rest and rest. The infantry scattered all at once, and all ran into the crowd, and around the tables, there were more people around, and the noise was so loud that their shouts could be heard even by the river!

Wang Ping'an frowned, he vaguely heard, betting or something, could it be that those people are gambling? opened the casino to the school military field, and the momentum was so huge, but Wei Zhenyuan was not angry, but connived, this is really unreasonable!

After a long time, three quarters of an hour had passed, and it was half an hour, and the soldiers and civilians around the tables had dispersed!

Wei Zhenyuan jumped on horseback and said, "Enough rest, Xiao An'an, let's go to the parade!" He flicked his whip and shouted, "Blow the trumpet, assemble!" ”

The soldiers blew their horns, and with a whining sound, the army began to assemble in line according to the sequence.

Wei Zhenyuan said to Wang Ping'an: "Do you know why a certain family was so anxious last night?" ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "General Wei is afraid of making a fool of himself in front of 100,000 soldiers and civilians? ”

Wei Zhenyuan laughed and said: "This is only one aspect, there are other reasons, you will know after the parade is over." Xiao An'an, a certain family told you that people don't have many opportunities to get rich in their lives, if they have it, then they must seize it, and they must not miss the opportunity! ”

With that, he waved his whip triumphantly and hurried to the middle of the field!
