Chapter 224: Ding Qian's Nightmare
The wolf smoke rose, the flying sound, and the 150,000 troops of the Liao State were already in full force, and they were about to go to the border of Song and Liao in Xiongzhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In Youzhou City, Ding Qian, Xu Gang, and Yang Kai, who lived in the inn, were anxious. I want to leave Youzhou immediately and send back the information I have gathered.
But looking at the injured Yang Kai, Ding Qian didn't know what to do.
Xu Gang said: "Brother Ding, it's not okay, you accompany Brother Yang Kai to recuperate here, and I will send the information back to Xiongzhou alone, and then come back to pick you up." ”
Ding Qian shook his head and said: "No, the army of the Liao State is rushing to Xiongzhou, and there are continuous soldiers and horses along the way, what if you encounter an accident on the road." ”
Xu Gang said disapprerovingly: "What accidents can be encountered, if you really encounter the Liao army, it's a big deal to fight to the death." ”
Ding Qian said: "If you say this, I can't rest assured that you are leaving alone, Brother Xu, your own life is a small matter, intelligence is a big matter, if the intelligence is not sent, it is related to the life and death of my Great Song Dynasty." Therefore, we must think of a perfect solution, and we must not be reckless. ”
Yang Kai said: "Then the two of you will go back to Xiongzhou together, and I will stay alone." ”
Ding Qian shook his head again and said, "This is even more impossible, how can I throw my comrades into this dangerous place!" In that case, even if I go back, how can I explain to Marshal Yang. ”
Yang Kai said: "This is what I voluntarily asked to stay, whether I live or die has nothing to do with you joining the army, Xu Tuanlian can testify." ”
Xu Gang shook his head and said: "I don't want to do this certificate, besides, I don't agree to leave Yang Kai alone, everyone came out together, and they want to go together." ”
Yang Kai gritted his teeth and moved down from the bed and said, "Okay, the three of us are going now." ”
Ding Qian said: "Yes, I am indeed leaving, but not now." ”
Xu Gang said: "Why? ”
Ding Qian smiled bitterly: "It's dark now, the four gates of Youzhou City are closed, and the patrols on the street are also shuttling back and forth. ”
Yang Kai sighed heavily and said, "Alas, it's all my fault that I fell off the chain at this critical moment and was injured, otherwise how could the small Youzhou City trap us." It's a hard fight and a kill. ”
Xu Gang said angrily: "Yang Kai, you regret having a fart now, you shouldn't have fought with that Yinhua County Lord in the first place, this is called a small intolerable plot." ”
Yang Kai sat down on the bed and lowered his head and said in frustration: "Yes, yes, you can blame me!" ”
Ding Qian said: "Okay, don't complain to each other, it's too late to say anything, I think we should have a good rest, accumulate enough spirit to go out of the city tomorrow, hurry up and rush back, it's still too late." He said, "I'll go to the shopkeeper to see if the old hen and ginseng soup are stewed." ”
Xu Gang waved and said: "Okay, hurry up, if the ginseng soup is stewed, hurry up and let Brother Yang Kai drink two bowls to make up for it, and I will be in good spirits tomorrow." ”
Yang Kai smirked: "That's not a panacea, you can get better immediately after drinking it!" ”
Ding Qian said: "It's not a panacea, it's better than not drinking it." He walked out.
When I came to the kitchen, I saw the innkeeper sitting on a small horse and looking at the casserole on the fire, where the old hen and ginseng were stewed.
Ding Qian said: "Shopkeeper, this old hen ginseng soup can be stewed very well." ”
The innkeeper said, "It's almost time, right away, will you go back to the guest room and wait." When the stew is ready, I'll serve it to you right away. ”
Ding Qian nodded and returned to the guest room.
Xu Gang asked, "Why hasn't it been stewed yet?" ”
Ding Qian said: "It's soon, it'll be fine right away." ”
Xu Gang scolded: "Fuck, I don't think this innkeeper is authentic, does it take so long to stew chicken soup!" ”
Yang Kai said: "What do you know, this old hen stewed ginseng must take a long time, otherwise there will be no curative effect." ”
Xu Gang said impatiently: "Okay, when the curative effect is stewed, I'm afraid the Liao army will enter Xiongzhou City." ”
Yang Kai said angrily: "So you are complaining about me Yang Kai. ”
Xu Gang said: "Don't complain about you, you say that it doesn't matter if you are injured, how many major things will be delayed." ”
Yang Kai said: "I think I'm in the way, right, then you and the two of you who joined the army will leave it alone, see if I can die in this Youzhou City." ”
Ding Qian glared and said, "The two of you are still finished, when is this time and you still have the heart to quarrel here." It's still like a military man there. ”
Both of them closed their mouths and glared at each other.
At this time, the innkeeper walked in with a casserole in his hand and said, "Guest officer, the old hen and ginseng soup are stewed." ”
Ding Qian pointed to the table and said, "Thank you, you can put it on the table first." ”
The innkeeper glanced at Yang Kai and Xu Gang, who were sitting on the bed and glared at each other, put down the casserole with interest, and walked out with the door.
Ding Qian walked to the table, took out a spoon and scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to Yang Kai and said, "Yang Kai, drink chicken soup!" ”
Yang Kai turned his head angrily and said, "If you don't drink it, you will be pulled down when you die!" ”
Ding Qian sneered: "Hmph, Yang Kai, what can you do now, are you a hero when you die, I see that you are purely a bear, you are a little injured and depressed, and you still brag to others that you are a member of the Yang family!" I don't feel blushing either! If you want to go back alive, drink the soup quickly. ”
Yang Kai said: "Drink it!" He took two sips and drank a large bowl of chicken soup.
Ding Qian said: "Okay, let's all sleep!" Tomorrow morning I will go out of the city and return to Xiongzhou. As he spoke, he blew out the oil lamp on the table.
The next day, in the morning, Ding Qian got up from his bed early and came to the courtyard.
The innkeeper squatted in the yard to chop wood, and saw Ding Qian coming over and said, "Guest officer, what are you doing so early, will it be good to sleep more." ”
Ding Qian said: "I can't sleep." ”
The innkeeper smiled and said, "What's the matter!" ”
Ding Qian nodded and said: "Yes, I saw a large army passing through the city yesterday, this must be a war, so we plan to leave here as soon as possible and go back to our hometown as soon as possible, it is much more peaceful there." ”
The innkeeper shook his head and said, "It's useless if you're in a hurry, this city gate won't open until an hour." ”
Ding Qian asked, "When will the city gate be opened?" ”
The innkeeper said: "When, if it is a normal day, the city gate will be opened before the hour, now is wartime, in order to prevent the spies of the Song Kingdom from entering and exiting, the city gate will be opened at the earliest." ”
Ding Qian said: "Won't that delay the transactions of the people who come and go to the merchants!" ”
The innkeeper laughed twice and said: "Hehe, the official only wants to be safe and sound, and it doesn't matter what is convenient or inconvenient for the people." ”
Ding Qian shook his head and didn't make a sound, but let out a long sigh, alas......
This long sigh contains indescribable sorrow, what should I do? What to do? What can I do now?
Ding Qian pushed open the courtyard door and came to the street, although it is now dawn, if it is in the Central Plains, the street has long been lively at this time, doing business, people who go out to buy things will go out of the house one after another, come to the street, looking for the happiness of their own lives, but at this time the streets of Youzhou City are deserted, except for the patrol team, there are only a few people occasionally, many people are lying in the hot quilt at home, dreaming of their own.
Ding Qian wandered on the street for a while, fearing to attract the attention of the Liao army patrol, and turned back to the inn.
The innkeeper was still there chopping wood with an axe, as if at this time there was only chopping wood, which was the whole of his life.
Seeing Ding Qian coming back from outside, the innkeeper casually glanced up, lowered his head and chopped firewood.
Ding Qian pushed open the door and entered the guest room, Xu Gang was still asleep. It's just that Yang Kai is sitting on the bed, staring at the window in a daze.
Ding Qian asked with concern, "Yang Kai, how is the wound on your shoulder, how do you feel?" ”
Yang Kai said: "I feel a lot better, although I can't dance a knife and a gun, but it's okay to run on a horse." ”
Ding Qian nodded and said, "That's good!" I'll give you another dressing. ”
Yang Kai obediently took off his clothes, Ding Qian untied the white bag wrapped around Yang Kai's shoulder, and when he saw that it was no longer red and swollen, he nodded and said, "It's really a lot better, it's no longer inflamed." As he spoke, he took out the golden spear medicine sent by the Golden Flower County Lord and sprinkled it on the wound on Yang Kai's shoulder, and gently bandaged it again.
After bandaging, Yang Kai jumped out of bed and picked up his arm and said casually, "Okay, it's okay." That being said, a cold sweat broke out on his face.
Ding Qian knew that it was still caused by pain, so he didn't say anything more, but with a solemn expression, he reached out and gently patted Yang Kai's uninjured shoulder. He went to his bed and lay down again, looking at the roof and thinking about it.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze, and in my sleep it seemed that I had returned to my own comfortable nest on Changle Street in Bianliang City, Tokyo.
When Qiu Ju saw Ding Qian coming back, she threw herself into his arms and cried loudly, clenching her fists while beating Ding Qian's chest and saying: "Dead ghost, I don't know how to send a letter to my family for more than a month as soon as I leave, I don't know if people miss you!" Then he muttered: "Ding Qian, you don't know how Qiu Ju came over these days after you left, and after you left, I was bullied." ”
Ding Qian hurriedly asked, "Who is it, that person bullied you, tell me quickly." ”
Qiu Ju stretched out his hand and pointed behind Ding Qian, Ding Qian looked back and saw that it was Hu Ge who was glaring at him there, and said in surprise: "Hu Ge, how did you find here!" ”
Hu Ge said: "Phew, why can't I come here, okay, Ding Qian, you actually did this behind my back, you shameless dog men and women." Scolding in his mouth, he smashed down with a wooden stick in his hand, Ding Qian hurriedly dodged away, and then ran to the yard, knowing that as soon as he went out, he collided with his father Ding Zhong, Ding Qian hurriedly said: "Dad, why did your old man come!" ”
Ding Zhong said angrily: "I'm here to catch the adulterer, little rabbit cub, I said why are you not at home all day, it turns out that you are fooling around with wild women here, and you have a lot of fun!" Scolding and slapping over, Ding Qian flashed away and shouted loudly: "Dad, Dad, listen to my explanation, Qiu Ju is not a wild woman, and her son is all for the sake of inheritance!" ”
At this moment, I heard someone shaking himself and shouting: "Brother Ding, wake up, wake up." ”
Ding Qian was frightened, opened his eyes and saw Xu Gang standing in front of the bed looking at himself and said, "Brother Ding, you have a nightmare, you have a cold sweat!" ”
Ding Qian stretched out his hand and touched it, and sure enough, it was all cold sweat, and he took a long breath and said, "What time is it now." ”
Xu Gang said: "It's the end of the hour!" ”
Ding Qian turned over and sat up from the bed and said, "Quick, pack your luggage, let's get out of the city immediately!" ”
