Chapter XXV

In the county of Ye County, there is a small room.

The room was dimly lit and filled with a strong smell of medicine. An old woman with a bright head leaning on a futon. The quilt is not very clean, but it is good that it is thick. The old woman had thin cheeks and tilted her ears sideways, as if listening to something, and coughed slightly from time to time.

"Ah Ling, Ah Ling!"

The old woman suddenly shouted.

Kan Ling ran in from outside, "Mother, you called me?" ”

"Are you boiling wild Ganoderma lucidum again?"

Kan Ling knelt down beside the old woman and pressed the futon for her, "Mother, the child has made money, you don't have to worry about buying Ganoderma lucidum in the future." ”

"You bought this house today, and you have the money to buy Wild Lingzhi.

Ah Ling, tell your mother honestly, did you do something you shouldn't have done? If this is the case, my mother would rather starve to death, freeze to death, or die of illness than care. ”

Kan Ling hurriedly shook his head vigorously, "Mother, I don't have ......"

"Then tell me, where did you get all this money?"

"I, I ......"

"Say!"

Kan Ling gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Mother, the child met a big man today. He took a fancy to the child's strength, so he wanted to take the child to make a fortune. Mother, tomorrow the child will go out, and he may have to go far away. The big man gave me a hundred pieces and told me to settle my family...... Mother, don't worry, the child will never do anything wrong. I've asked the old fat uncle to take care of you for a while. The medicinal materials are also fully bought, so my mother doesn't have to worry. When the child earns money, we will go back to our hometown and buy another good piece of land. When the time comes, the child will accompany his mother and live happily for the rest of his life, okay? ”

"Good, good, of course!"

The old woman grinned merrily.

However, the smile was fleeting, and she suddenly asked nervously: "Ah Ling, will it be dangerous for you to go out?" ”

Kan Ling hurriedly said: "There is no danger, mother, you are too careful!" ”

But after these words came out, my heart trembled. Zheng Yanqing's words echoed in his mind: Maybe there will be danger, and maybe even lose his surname?

Kan Ling is a person who is afraid of death from time to time, but if he dies, what should his mother do?

Otherwise...... Run away?

Anyway, Zheng Yanqing has already given him the money! He can leave Ye County with his wife overnight and find a barren mountain and remote place to hide. Even if Zheng Yanqing has the ability to reach the sky, he may not be able to find him.

This thought can never be erased again.

The old woman said softly: "Ah Ling, if there is no danger, how can people give you so much money? Otherwise, you give the money back. My mother would rather die of illness than have an accident with you. Your father is only one son, and if something happens to you, how can I be worthy of your dead father? ”

"Mother, there's really no danger."

"If it's not dangerous, is someone asking you to do something unreasonable?"

"It's not ...... either"

Kan Ling was a little anxious, and blurted out: "Mother, the child won't hide it from you." That person is very famous, and he is the goose boy that my mother mentioned to me before, Banyuanjun, Zheng Yanqing Zheng Gongzi. He is responsible for escorting grain and grass, and needs to be protected by a person with strong martial arts...... Mother, you also know that I have been practicing martial arts with Grandpa Gao of Qingniuguan since I was a child, and this good skill is suffering from nowhere to show it.

Besides, who would dare to intercept the grain and grass of the imperial court?

There are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers here, and they are robbing grain and grass, isn't it self-defeating? Therefore, the child is really not in danger, and the mother just needs to rest assured. ”

"Oh, is that the goose boy who 'sings to the sky'?"

Kan Ling said: "It's him!" ”

The smile on the old woman's face suddenly became extraordinarily bright.

"If Ah Ling can follow the goose boy, he may have a good future in the future...... Well, as soon as you say that, I'm relieved! ”

"Mother, wait a minute, I'll fry the medicine."

The old woman nodded, leaned against the futon, and closed her eyes again.

On the contrary, Kan Ling was a little uneasy.

He wanted to escape from Ye County with his wife overnight, but he felt that if he did this, he wouldn't even want to look up in his life! Not to mention how famous that Zheng Gongzi is, just because he was born in the Zheng family, it is not Kan Ling who can compete with him and deceive him.

If he hides, he will not be incognito for the rest of his life.

Otherwise, if Zheng Yanqing knew about him, what would his face be?

No, you can't run away...... Kan Leng's mood became more and more confused.

After decocting the medicine for the old lady, serve the old lady to eat. And he lay down beside the couch, closed his eyes, and slept.

To escape, or not to escape?

That's a fucking big problem!

It was in this extremely uneasy state of mind that Kan Ling fell asleep.

In a daze, he felt that the old lady was calling his name, so he quickly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up.

"Ah Ling, there seems to be a car and horse stopped outside."

Kan Ling was stunned, and through the small bed in the room, he found that the sky was already dark. He hurriedly stood up and said softly, "Mother, I'll take a look." ”

With that, Kan Ling put on his coat and picked up a huge long knife with a sheath from the door.

It is about 160 centimeters long, and it stands upright, reaching Kan Ling's chest. The scabbard is long and narrow, it is made of black shark skin, there is no carving on it, and it is clumsy, revealing a murderous atmosphere. The nearly 50 cm long scabbard is particularly eye-catching.

Kan Ling walked out of the room with a knife and saw two carriages and horses parked outside the door, as well as more than 100 officers and soldiers guarding the room.

A young man with a white horse at the head of the horse, with silver armor and white robes, wearing a silver ring on his head, white teeth and red lips, showing a heroic appearance.

"Zheng Gongzi?"

When Kan Ling saw the visitor, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

He looked up at the sky, it was morning, and it was two hours before noon.

was about to ask, but saw Zheng Yanqing turn over and dismount.

"Kan Ling, take me to visit Lingtang."

"Huh?"

Kan Ling looked at Zheng Yanqing in surprise, and didn't understand why Yanqing deigned to come to visit his blind old lady. However, since Yan Qing is here, Kan Ling is categorically impossible to drive him away. Not to mention that he owes people money, in terms of etiquette, it is unreasonable.

So, Kan Ling led Zheng Yanqing into the room.

The pungent smell did not make Zheng Yanqing show any sense of harm.

He walked quickly to the old lady and introduced himself, "Old lady, I am the cloud cavalry captain of the imperial court, Zheng Yanqing of Xingyang Anyuan Hall. Yesterday, he met Ling Lang in the city, and they hit it off at first sight...... Ling Lang's martial arts are strong, so Zheng loves him very much. I came here today, first, I wanted to visit the old lady, so that the old lady should not worry about him; The second is to diagnose the old lady's pulse and visit the condition. ”

Yan Qing has been in Emei Mountain for two years, although he is only doing miscellaneous work for Sun Simiao, but under the influence of hearing and seeing, he also knows a lot of medical science. Since he was determined to recruit Kan Ling, of course it was impossible to just send a hundred copper coins. It's not that Kan Ling will regret it, when he needs it, Kan Ling surrenders wholeheartedly, not in Cao Ying's heart in Han. A hundred times can buy his life, but it can't buy his heart.

Zheng Yanqing doesn't need Kan Leng's life, what he needs is Kan Leng's submission.

In everyone's heart, there will be a hobby of collecting fierce generals. Even if Zheng Yanqing had rich experience in his previous life and was well-informed, he was not exempt from vulgarity.

He didn't remember if there was such a character as Kan Ling in the history books.

But if this person can be subdued, it will undoubtedly be a big help for him.

Therefore, Zheng Yanqing summoned the doctors of the Ye County Medical Center overnight and inquired in detail about Kan Leng's mother's condition.

In addition, he has a rough understanding of medical science and a little bit of fur, and when he met the old lady, he already had a general understanding of her condition.

At first, Kan Ling didn't believe that Zheng Yanqing really knew medical skills.

But when the words spoken by Yan Qing were almost exactly the same as those of the doctors in the medical hall, Kan Leng's eyes suddenly revealed a touch of hope.

Zheng ...... Childe, dare to ask about my mother's condition, is there any hope? ”

He really didn't know what to call Zheng Yanqing. Yan Qing is just a brigade commander, whether he is high or not, and whether he is low or not. It is obviously not appropriate to call generals and captains. But if Kan Ling calls Yanqing as the 'lord', he may not be really willing in his heart.

I'm just giving it to you...... But the title of lord represents unconditional submission.

Zheng Yanqing smiled, "The old lady's condition is easy to treat, but it is difficult to treat, but it is really difficult to treat." You only need to take one wild Ganoderma lucidum every ten days, and at the same time take proper care; Speaking of incurability, the cost of this treatment is probably very large, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. ”

It's exactly the same as the sitting hall in the medical hall.

Kan Ling couldn't help but bow his head.

Why didn't he know that he had to take care of himself and use wild Ganoderma lucidum as a medicine?

But the question is, can he sustain such an expense? A wild Ganoderma lucidum costs at least ten copper coins. One for ten days, one for a month, but it is thirty. 100 ...... It's only three or four months to toss it clean. And that's not even counting the other costs...... Even if Kan Ling is thrifty and desperately trying to make money, it is already difficult to maintain the supply of this wild Ganoderma lucidum, let alone proper recuperation?

Zheng Yanqing ignored Kan Ling, but held the old lady's rough, slightly muddy hand.

"Old lady, I have a suggestion.

Although this county is stable and there are no loud horse thieves, it is located in a remote area after all, and there is a lack of manpower and material resources.

Since Kan Ling wants to follow me, if the old lady can't be stable, I'm afraid he won't be at ease.

So Zheng had an idea, and I ordered someone to send the old lady to Gong County to recuperate. It is convenient to take care of someone over there, and it is not far from Xingyang Luoyang, whether it is a medical hall or buying medicinal herbs, it is very easy. The old lady can live for a long time, and Kan Ling can also do things with peace of mind. ”

When Kan Ling heard this, he suddenly had hope.

He looked at the old lady, who was also deep in thought.

The old lady may not be illiterate, nor can she understand poetry and songs, let alone read. But after decades of accumulated life experience, how can you not understand Zheng Yanqing's intentions?

This little baby wants to recruit Ah Ling!

That doesn't seem to be a bad thing, though...... Over the years, Ah Ling has suffered a lot in order to take care of himself. I can't eat enough, I can't dress warmly, and I have to seek medical treatment everywhere in a low voice. The old lady didn't say it, but how could she not understand the suffering that Kan Ling had suffered?

Now, there's a chance to get Arlene to transit.

Although this Zheng Gongzi is suspected of being pretentious, after all, he is a big family, his reputation is outside, and his future prospects are immeasurable. Alengruo followed him, saying that he couldn't do a career. As for himself, he can also be taken care of, and for Ah Ling, it saves him a lot of trouble.

It's a triple win!

The old lady said: "Zheng Gongzi's good intentions, how dare the old woman refuse?"

After my family's Ah Ling said, I asked Zheng Gongzi to take care of it more...... Ah Ling, you have to follow Zheng Gongzi well, don't let him down. ”

Kan Ling said: "Mother just rest assured, the child must do things well." ”

"Kan Ling, I have instructed Huang Wenqing County to ask him to allocate some manpower to escort the old lady to Gong County.

The carriages and horses are ready to go. You have something to say to the old lady, but it doesn't hurt to say it. I was busy with military affairs, so I went back to the camp first. ”
