That night, the dogs in the city barked wildly, and heard the sound of footsteps and armor clashing in the streets outside, and the sound of horses' hooves, which rang for a long time.

Zuo Shaoyang and the others were all woken up, dressed and stood in the hall listening, and did not dare to speak out. It wasn't until the voice disappeared for a while that Zuo Shaoyang opened a crack in the door to take a look, and he didn't see any figures, but it was estimated that the officers and soldiers were moving, or they went out of the city to fight. After guessing for a long time, there was no result, so they went back to the house to sleep nervously.

In the morning, before dawn, I heard the noise of footsteps in the streets, and the clatter of swords falling to the ground, and from time to time I heard the groans of pain from time to time, as if he had been injured.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly got up and got dressed, went down the stairs to the lobby, Zuo Gui's father, mother Liang, and Miao Peilan's family all got up. Standing behind the door, no one dared to speak, Zuo Shaoyang opened a crack in the window, and saw that it was indeed a large army outside, but the sky was dark, and he couldn't see whether it was an officer or a rebel.

Just when everyone was panicking and guessing, they heard someone knocking on the door: "Zuo Langzhong!" Xiao Langzhong, open the door! A couple of my brothers are injured, help me heal! ”

Listening to the voice, it was the officer and soldier who had come the day before, with a black face.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly agreed, opened the door, and sure enough, it was Team Zhengfan's black face. Fan Hei said in a rough voice: "Why don't you light the lamp?" Hurry up, a few of my brothers are injured, and they will be treated. His grandmother's, those gangs of soldiers are all rice buckets, and ten of them have ** wounds that are suppurated, or you are good, the brothers who were treated last time, none of them suppurated when they went back. ”

Liang was busy looking for the oil lamp in the dark, and at this moment, the oil lamp was already on, but it was Miao Peilan who lit it, came over with the oil lamp, and handed it to Zuo Shaoyang.

Zuo Shaoyang held an oil lamp to check the injuries of several wounded soldiers, almost all of them were arrow wounds, and some of them sprained their feet. There were two arrows in their bodies, and the injuries were relatively serious, but fortunately, they were wearing armor, which offset most of the strength, and it seems that the strength of the arrows themselves was not very strong.

Zuo Shaoyang and Zuo Gui began to treat the wounds of the wounded soldiers, Miao Peilan gave them a hand, they gave the wounded soldiers anesthetics, cut the wounds and took arrow clusters, debridement, applied gold and drugs, bandaged, and decoction of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs for the wounds that were deeply injured and more serious.

Zuo Gui asked Fan Hei with a worried face while busy: "Lord Team Zheng, how did these brothers get hurt?" Could it be that the rebels are attacking again? Last night, I heard the army passing by the door, did you go to war? ”

Fan said with a black face: "Well, I fought a nest battle with the rebels in Shuanghuai County last night. His grandmother's, Hezhou, this ghost place is high and deep, full of lofty mountains and mountains, only two roads outside the county, is Shuanghuai County and Taihe County. Now the rebels have occupied these two counties, choking us by the throat, and no reinforcements can come in, and no food and grass can come in. The top saw that the grain and grass were about to be eaten up, and if they didn't fight, they would starve to death. There was no way, so I decided to attack Shuanghuai Town tonight, preparing to take Shuanghuai Town back, open the passage to the outside, and organize the transportation of grain and grass in. ”

"Yes! Sitting back and waiting is not the way to go. Zuo Gui sighed.

"It's not good to attack it!" Fan Hei spat on the ground and said, "The rebels have long expected our hand and attacked us in an ambush at the Guiguling leading to Shuanghuai Town!" Hundreds of dead brothers finally rushed over, rushed to the city of Shuanghuai County, only to find that the rebels had occupied the heights around Shuanghuai County, this ghost county town is nested in the col, the army can not fight at all, attacked overnight, and hundreds of brothers died, to be honest, her grandmother's, these songs The rebels' combat effectiveness is indeed much stronger than ours, we can't fight at all, we can only retreat. In this battle, it is estimated that thousands of brothers were killed or wounded. In my team alone, seven or eight brothers were killed in battle, and about twenty brothers were wounded. Alas! ”

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded, and Zuo Gui said: "Is the rebel army very powerful?" ”

Fan Hei nodded with a heavy face: "Yes, his grandmother's, the leading general of the rebel army in Shuanghuai County is named Feng Li, who used to be a general under the command of Prince Li Jiancheng, who can fight habitually and is extremely brave, and later became the head of the East Palace Guard." This rebel army was originally the army of the imperial court, and after the Xuanwu Gate, they rebelled. Our army was temporarily recruited from all over the country and gathered together, the old and the young, were defeated by Feng Li's men, and to be honest, they were not wronged at all. ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Then you can attack Taihe County?" It should be easier to fight here, right? ”

"Good fight? Hehe, but the little brother doesn't know that this group of rebels has no delicious fruit! The leading general of the rebels in Taihe County, named Xue Wanzhuan, this guy is also a fierce general under the former prince Li Jiancheng. This guy is not only scheming, but also extremely brave, especially good at fighting tough battles! The previous attack on our Hezhou was his army. The army did not move much below, only a few death squads were dispatched to kill the towers, and our defense line was already torn to pieces. Little brother, you were also present at the time, you should have seen it, if he really wants to beat us in Hezhou, it can be said that he will not blow the fire! ”

"Why don't you take him to seize our Hezhou, just surround it without fighting, what do you want to do?"

"Can't guess!" Fan Hei shook his head and said, "They strangled our way to the outside world, and they could eat us but didn't fight hard, so they really couldn't figure out what they were going to do." Anyway, these two people are scheming, I have heard of it, and they were originally the generals of my Tang Dynasty to fight in all directions. It's a pity that I followed the wrong person and followed the prince Li Jiancheng. If they are sent to fight the Turks, they will definitely return the victory! - Okay, don't talk about them, otherwise people will listen to it, and say that I will grow the morale of the enemy army and destroy my own prestige! Hurry up and heal your wounds! ”

Zuo Shaoyang and Zuo Gui helped these wounded soldiers to deal with all the injuries, including a sprained foot, and those who had no particularly serious injuries needed to stay for further treatment, prescribed medicine and went back to decoction, and told them to come back regularly to change the dressing. By the time I was playing, it was already dawn. The officers and soldiers who had retreated to the city had already left.

Na Fan blackface paid for the consultation and medicine, thanked him, and went out with a group of wounded soldiers.

Everyone washed up separately, and after they were done, Zuo Shaoyang and Zuo Gui began to revisit and adjust the medication for the patients who were left for treatment.

was busy, Aunt Long of the Qu family came over, accompanied by a smile and said, Old Lady Qu asked him to talk with Zuo Gui and his wife.

I haven't been there for a few days, and Bai Zhihan hasn't come over, and the decoction used by Old Lady Qu is all taken back by Aunt Long regularly. So I don't know what the condition of Old Lady Qu is. However, no one from the Qu family came, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Unexpectedly, Old Lady Qu suddenly asked people to come and invite, and invited their family to come over. Zuo Shaoyang immediately had a reaction, which must be related to the marriage he said earlier.

Zuo Gui and his wife were also happy, and took Zuo Shaoyang and followed Aunt Long from the back alley to the Qu family's old house.

Zuo Shaoyang deliberately delayed, and Zuo Gui and Liang stopped to look at him. Zuo Shaoyang said in a low voice: "Dad, mother!" You promised me that my daughter-in-law must have my consent. Therefore, if Old Lady Qu proposes to marry his granddaughter, Miss Bai, I hope that the second elder will not agree in person. ”

Zuo Gui and Liang glanced at each other, and estimated that this was probably what they were talking about. The two of them are naturally a hundred willing to marry this marriage, if it was a month ago, Zuo Gui would definitely not hesitate to show his paternalistic style, scold Zuo Shaoyang, and immediately agree to this marriage, but now, especially in the past few days, he knows that his son Zuo Shaoyang secretly had a high level of medical skills with a strange man, and after curing many patients who seemed to him to be critical, he was somewhat unconfident in speaking to his son.

Especially in this marriage, from the beginning, Zuo Shaoyang and Bai Zhihan were on top of the cow, and the two of them were like a pair of enemies, quarreling and talking back, and they didn't have a good face. Zuo Shaoyang emphasized that he would never marry Bai Zhihan as his wife. Not even a concubine. Therefore, although the old couple is very satisfied with this marriage, they can't force their decision to agree, lest their son turn his face and the family will be uncomfortable. Anyway, now that the son has this medical skill, it is a matter of time before he gets ahead, but he is not as worried about marrying a daughter-in-law as he was before.

However, Zuo Gui was reluctant to persuade this family, and he still wanted to persuade him, so he sighed and said: "Zhong'er, you still have to think carefully about this matter, the white girl is very good." Don't miss out on a good marriage! ”

"Yes, Zhong'er. The white girl is so beautiful, and the family is as good as us, which is rare. Liang also said softly, I really hope that my words can persuade my son to agree to this marriage.

Zuo Shaoyang glanced at Aunt Long, who stood in the distance and looked back at them suspiciously, and said in a low voice: "I know in my heart, as long as the second elder doesn't forcibly agree." ”

Zuo Gui sighed again, nodded slightly, and walked forward with his hands behind his back, Liang glanced at Zuo Shaoyang again, he really didn't know what to do, so he followed with small steps. The three of them followed Aunt Long to the courtyard of Old Lady Qu.

Aunt Long opened the curtain, and the three of them went in, only to see that the old lady Qu had moved from the small bed used for diagnosis in Guizhitang to the big bed in the room, and was leaning against the head of the bed, Old lady Qu and Bai Zhihan were sitting on the round stool next to them, and when they came in, the two of them hurriedly got up and laughed and gave up their seats.

Old lady Qu, who was lying crookedly at the head of the bed, saw him, smiled slightly, and said vaguely: "Zuo Langzhong, Zuo Gongzi ......!" ”

Zuo Gui arched his hand and said happily: "The old lady's illness seems to be much better, and she can speak." ”

"Thank you for your treatment, thank you for ......"

Zuo Gui nodded and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "You can give the old lady a follow-up." With that, he took off his robe and sat down on a round stool by the round table. Liang sat behind him.

Aunt Long took a round stool and put it on the side of the bed, Zuo Shaoyang thanked him and sat down, asked Mrs. Qu how she felt in the past two days, and learned that she had been able to eat some liquid food, so she sat down to check her pulse and look at her tongue. After a moment, he smiled and said: "The old lady's illness has been cured for three or four years, this old ginseng is really powerful, according to this medicine, in another ten days, you will almost be able to go to the ground." ”

Old Lady Qu and Mrs. Qu were very happy when they heard this, and there was also a smile on Bai Zhi's cold face.
