Chapter 217: Seeing Zhu Ao
In Cai's house, after lunch, Cai Yong's father and daughter who had been separated for a long time cried and rejoiced again.
After Ji Ping's wound was changed, he was arranged by Cai Kuang to rest in an empty room in the backyard.
The room was cleaned very clean, Ji Ping ran around day after day, bothered and tired, and was already extremely tired, so as soon as he relaxed at this time, he fell asleep next to the pillow.
I didn't want to fall asleep, so I became groggy and had nightmares, dreaming of assassination, and encountering Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, as well as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, all kinds of things, intermittently, until the second half of the night, I felt that I was half-helped up.
He only felt as if he had been pressed against a mountain, so heavy that he could not move, his throat was dry, his whole body was cold, his forehead was hot, his limbs were sore, and the tip of his nose smelled a strong smell of medicine.
His eyes tried to open a little, but he only saw the shadow of the oil lamp, and faintly heard the sound of talking in his ears, and he was fed a bowl of medicine in a daze, and fell into a deep sleep.
After falling asleep, the middle seemed to be helped up and drank the medicine twice, and it was not until noon the next day that he woke up again, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Cai Yan and Lu Qi in the house, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Let you bother." ”
He didn't expect that he would actually get sick at this time.
It is no wonder that the first month is cold, from Qingzhou to Chang'an, but thousands of miles of travel, during which he has experienced fighting, injury, poisoning, and fighting, and has been nervous for several days. In other words, others are estimated to have collapsed early.
Cai Yan smiled slightly: "It's good to wake up, how do you feel?" ”
At this time, Cai Yan had already taken off his coat and changed into a lilac curly coat. It shows a slender posture, soft and elegant. The back of his head was pulled into a bun, and there was a jewel between his temples. A slight smile is even brighter.
Compared with Cai Yan's indifference, Lu Qi on the side was surprised: "Liu Gongzi, you woke up, you had a terrible fever last night, the doctor came three times, prescribed several pairs of medicines, and the fever did not subside until half an hour ago, and my sister didn't sleep well all night..."
A flush flashed on Cai Yan's face, and it didn't stop Lu Qi. Let her say.
Ji Ping couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Cai Yan's slightly shy style, but he knew in his heart that Cai Yan's worries about him mostly had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, maybe there were friends, but the most worrying estimate was his special identity, if King Hongnong died of illness in Caifu, it would inevitably cause big trouble to Caifu anyway, and even ruin.
But look at Cai Yan's elegant smile. It didn't seem like she had been worried all night, which made Ji Ping admire this woman's indifferent bearing, even if she was worried and frightened, she was always calm.
Ji Ping originally planned to go out today to contact Zhu Ao. The Shadow Division has its own secret contact methods, but it didn't expect to be sick, although the fever subsided. But his body was sore and weak, so he could only put the matter of contact on hold for the time being. Peace of mind to take care of your illness first. This era is no better than later generations, there are no antibiotics and other medicines. Seemingly ordinary diseases can be fatal if you are not careful.
He didn't want to die before he could get out of school.
It's just that I didn't expect that after drinking medicine at night and just about to rest, I suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door, and a long-heard voice sounded outside: "Big brother, it's me, Zhu Ao." ”
Zhu Ao? Ji Ping was suddenly surprised, turned over and got out of bed, opened the door in three or two steps, and outside the door, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man in cloth stood with thick eyebrows and big eyes, like a chivalrous man, but who was Zhu Ao.
"Haha, Xiao Ao! Come on in. Ji Ping hugged Zhu Ao fiercely, pulled him into the room, sat on the couch, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't seen you for two years, Xiao Ao has also grown up." ”
"Big brother." Zhu Ao was also excited, his eyes moist: "How can you come to Chang'an alone?" It's so dangerous! ”
Ji Ping smiled and said, "What, don't you want to see the eldest brother?" ”
"Where?" Zhu Ao's face turned red: "No...... Be...... It's too dangerous! ”
Ji Ping laughed: "Xiao Ao went from Xingyang to Chang'an, and now he is also a big man in charge of the Shadow Division, and he is still so unfunny?" ”
"Big brother teased." Zhu Ao scratched his head: "The younger brother will always be the younger brother in front of the eldest brother." ”
Ji Ping was quite moved in his heart, his relationship with Shi A and Zhu Ao was different from others, there was no entanglement of interests, he was a childhood playmate, and his feelings were the most pure.
He couldn't help but think of another childhood playmate, Cao Ang, when Liu Wei was still young, he didn't know the identity of this childhood playmate, but now he naturally knows that the humble and polite playmate is Cao Cao's eldest son.
How could Cao Ang play with Shi A, Zhu Ao and him at that time, Liu Wei didn't remember much, whether there would be Cao Cao's plan in it, Ji Ping didn't know. After all, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, served as the third prince of Jiuqing successively, and it was inevitable to inquire about Shi Hou's identity.
Ji Pingzheng couldn't stop nostalgic for his childhood, and Zhu Aose changed: "How can it smell like medicine?" He noticed the wound on Ji Ping's chest bandage, and said urgently: "Big brother, is your injury serious?" He had already learned that Ji Ping had been injured from the flying pigeon in Hedong, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, and he is still taking medicine.
Ji Ping said with a smile: "The injury is no longer serious, but I suffered from some wind and cold and got sick." ”
Zhu Ao immediately said: "Big brother, let's go with the younger brother, go to the Shadow Division stronghold, and take care of you." ”
Ji Ping shook his head: "Let's stay in Cai's mansion for two days first, Cai Yan has the grace to save his brother's life, treat each other sincerely, and it's not good to say goodbye." ”
Zhu Ao said again: "The younger brother will stay here to take care of the eldest brother." ”
Ji Ping shook his head and said, "The situation is urgent, I have something to arrange for you to do for my brother, Cai's mansion is very safe, you don't have to worry." Suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "You can find Cai's Mansion so quickly, it seems that the Shadow Division is developing well in Chang'an." ”
Zhu Ao said: "The younger brother received a letter from Hedong Feige the day before yesterday, and learned that the eldest brother was coming to Chang'an, and with a woman surnamed Cai, the younger brother arranged for the Shadow Division brothers to be distributed in front of the twelve city gates of Chang'an to wait, and inquired about yesterday's Cai Zhonglang's daughter-in-law Guining, so he went to this Cai Mansion to investigate, there was a woman who sent medicine to the eldest brother before, and the younger brother heard the voice of the eldest brother outside, and then he came in. ”
"I'm bothering you." Ji Ping nodded, and asked again: "What is the situation of the Xingsu Guard that can be said in Hedong's letter?" Are there any other changes? ”
Zhu Ao sighed and said: "The four guards of the fire line were unfortunately besieged by thieves in the Jedi and died, Jing Mu Qian and Ghost Golden Sheep were seriously injured and disabled, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect the eldest brother in the future, and the other star guards are fine." ”
Ji Ping's body trembled, and his expression was a little gloomy. For the Star Guard, he is still quite confident, he didn't expect that he would actually die and be disabled, think about it, after all, the enemy has more than 400 dead soldiers, and there are not a few fierce ones.
Ji Ping's eyes flashed: "When you find the murderer behind the scenes, you must return blood to blood!" ”
"Big brother," Zhu Ao said, "The second brother has returned to Hedong and is tracking down the murderer behind the scenes. ”
Ji Ping nodded: "The four guards of Huoxing are all orphans and have no families, so they should be buried thickly, and their names should be included in the Hall of Heroes, so that the soldiers can pay respect." The Hall of Heroes is a martyr's memorial hall set up by him in imitation of later generations, recording the martyrs who died in the line of duty.
"For Jing Mu Qian and Ghost Golden Sheep, we must arrange disability pensions." Ji Ping paused and said: "It depends on their wishes, either they will arrange to teach in the Yanwutang to teach the martial arts, or they will marry their own children and live a stable life, everything must be taken care of." ”
Zhu Ao nodded fiercely, was silent, and said: "Big brother, and Hanoi, Liu Xuande and Zhang Yide were plotted by traitors, Liu Xuande was seriously injured, and the two of them are missing. ”
"What!" Ji Ping looked shocked. (To be continued.) )
