Chapter 228: Strange Things
In the next few days, Qingzhi went to Lu Shikang's tent once a day in the morning and evening to help him check his pulse, and avoided contact with him the rest of the time.
Judging by the pulse she felt and the complexion she observed of him, his body was getting better day by day.
On the fourth day, he was able to get out of bed and move on his own.
In the process of getting along with him, she found that the gap between her and him was still there. The gap didn't improve much by the occasional momentary intimacy of that day.
If the two of them talk, it must be the time when they have to speak.
I don't have to say that there are many times, so, most of the time, there is silence between the two.
She also went to the Imperial Doctor every day to check on the situation. There are many more moments to go to the tent of the permanent imperial doctor than to go to Lu Shikang's tent.
In terms of the time he stayed, he spent more time at the Imperial Doctor's place than at Lu Shikang's.
Imperial Doctor Chang is also slowly recovering, although the recovery is slower, but it is getting better day by day.
On the tenth day, the number of patients with the epidemic disease in the army began to gradually decrease.
And the time it began to decrease was not far from what she had originally estimated.
On the day of the highest number of people, the number of infected people reached more than 2,000.
After that, it began to be peaceful for a few days, that is, there were less than 2,000 people every day.
Then, the number of infections slowed down before heading straight for 20,000 and began to increase by dozens of days a day.
And in the process, there have been some people who have slowly improved and returned to normal.
Qingzhi had been worried that Lu Shikang was also infected with the disease. Anyway, he hasn't fully recovered yet.
If he is infected, there are only three people who can infect him, Wang Lu, Qi Fang, and himself.
But fortunately, he and Wang Lu and Qi Fang have not had anything to do.
So Lu Shikang didn't have anything.
After he was able to get up on his own, he asked Wang Lu and Qi Fang to come to his tent. After all, this is in the army, and as a person who has come here to contribute, if he has been taken care of by others, he will definitely attract criticism from others. The generals here take care of themselves.
Moreover, since there is a temporary prohibition on contact between the military, it is not convenient to easily exceed the rules.
Wang Lu and Qi Fang always wanted to check the situation in his tent, but since the third prince had ordered, they had no choice but to hold back their thoughts and stay in their own tents.
.
On the morning of this day, Zhou Jing stood on the temporary training ground east of the tent and watched the soldiers train.
The rising sun shone on her face, revealing her fierce countenance.
At present, the camp is only ten miles away from Prince Xiao's camp, and four days ago, she led her troops to this place, intending to let the soldiers who had been tired of walking for days rest here for a few days before attacking Prince Xiao's camp.
Four days ago, a military doctor in the military medical camp told her that in recent days, soldiers had been sick with wind and cold, and there were more and more of them, and she thought that it was because the road was too fast, and the soldiers on the road were suffering from the cold caused by the cold wind, so some soldiers fell ill.
She ordered the sick soldiers to rest, and the other soldiers took turns training on the training ground for five hours a day during the day, and the rest of the time they could rest.
She planned to start attacking Prince Xiao's camp the day after tomorrow.
Standing here, she remembered that ten days ago, Prince Xiao's hundreds of cavalry attacked her baggage troops in an attempt to cut off her food and grass.
Fortunately, that incident did not have a big impact, and Prince Xiao's troops were finally outnumbered and fled in a hurry.
She always felt strange when she thought about it, but she couldn't analyze what was wrong.
She asked all the soldiers to analyze it together in the big tent of the Chinese army, but everyone was confused.
If Prince Xiao really wanted to attack her baggage troops and cut off her food and grass, how could he only send a hundred cavalry?
And listening to what the soldiers of the baggage troops said, those people did not seem to be strong generals, but weak generals who were vulnerable.
After that, nothing bad happened, so she didn't think much about it.
While observing the soldiers' training, he suddenly felt a person standing next to him.
She didn't have to turn her head to look, she only used the rest of her eyes to feel the height and posture of the person, and she already knew who it was.
In her troops, there is no one like Zheng Hangsu.
When he came to her, he didn't speak, but stood side by side with her, looking at the soldiers who were training.
Silence is better than sound at this point.
The two had just stood side by side for a short time, when suddenly a voice came from behind: "Your Royal Highness, Lord, look, what did I bring you over?" ”
She turned around and looked back, and saw Qi Lian holding a thin wooden stick with a roast chicken stuck in it, standing behind her with a flattering look.
She felt a trace of discomfort in her heart, and said: "General Qi, don't call me the county lord in the future, since I have already rebelled, I will no longer be the county lord with a different surname in their Dali." ”
"Then I will call you Her Majesty. How is it? He held the roast chicken in his hand, still looking at her.
"Just call me Zhou Jing." She said.
"Then I'll call you Sister Jing, how about it?"
"Whatever you want." She replied.
"You must taste this roast chicken, this is a pheasant brought by the soldiers patrolling early in the morning from the side of the mountain, I just ate one, it tastes beautiful." Qi Liandao.
"Is this a pheasant from the mountains, or a farmer's chicken?" She asked, looking at the roast chicken.
She had ordered that the peasants' money and goods should not be looted, so as not to arouse the resentment of the people.
"It's really just a pheasant." Qi Lian said with a weak heart, to be honest, he himself did not know if the soldiers on patrol had lied to him.
However, in his opinion, Zhou Jing's order is a little unnecessary, and now the people around here have already left, and if there is really anything left in the farmer's house, it is nothing more than some poultry or livestock that cannot be taken away.
Since they can't be taken away, and there is no one to feed them, aren't those poultry or livestock a dead end?
Since they are already dead, it is better to catch them and let the soldiers have a good time.
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say this directly to Zhou Jing on the surface, so he lied and said that what he had in his hand was really not a pheasant.
Zhou Jing said coldly: "I don't taste this kind of game, General Qi just eats one more." ”
"If he gave it, you'd eat it, wouldn't you?"
Qi Lian saw that Zhou Jing didn't appreciate it at all, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, so he said such sour words directly in front of Zheng Hangsu.
"It doesn't matter who gives it. I just don't like pheasants. Zhou Jing said.
"Since Sister Jing doesn't want to eat it, then I'll eat it myself!" Qi Lian was a little shocked, and said in a discouraged tone.
After he had brought the two chickens to the soldiers on patrol, he ordered them to burn them on a fire, and when they were finally done, he ate one of them, and the other was reluctant to eat it, so he brought it to her, and she was fine, and did not appreciate it at all.
When he walked back, a young general under him saw him returning from Zhou Jing's side, and his face seemed to be unhappy, so he ran a few steps, came to him, and whispered to him: "General Qi touched a nail at His Royal Highness the County Lord?" ”
"So what, what does it have to do with you?" Qi Lian said angrily to the soldier.
The soldier said: "If General Qi wants to hold the beauty, he has to use his crooked brain." The small one has a plan that allows you to hold the beauty. ”
"What? Crooked brains? If General Ben wants to chase beauties, he still needs to use his crooked brains? ”
