This meal is the only normal meal for the four of us since we left Shuangqi Town, and Uncle Sun not only took the initiative to treat us and let us go of the silver that was only enough to stay in the inn for three days, but also introduced us to the general of the Gu family army that we were going to meet.

"The chief general of the Gu family's army is called Lin Yi, and he is the husband of the eldest girl of the Gu family. He has a younger brother named Lin Qian, who is the young marshal of the Gu family, that is, the fourth young general of the Gu family, and the deputy general next to the son of Chenyi. ”

This is the first time I've heard Chenyi's name from someone else, and even though it's just a passing sentence, it makes my heart skip a beat. And listening to Sun Shujing's description, Chen Yi should have been safe and secure by his father's side.

I breathed a sigh of relief: Chen Yi, it seems that I didn't save you in vain.

Xin Yi beside him looked a little impatient, and said: "Sun Gongzi, you should continue to talk about this General Lin Yi, since you are about to see the deity, you should also tell us what his temperament is." ”

Achu said: "Yes, otherwise it would be good to say the wrong thing when we met for the first time." ”

"Good, good." Sun Shuyan agreed in a good-natured voice: "General Lin Yi was originally the vanguard of the Chinese army, but he was injured in the previous battle and fell ill, so he retreated from the front line to the rear. ”

I said, "If it's the root of the disease, I can try to see if it can be treated." ”

Sun Shuyan looked at me: "The best military doctor in our army and the head of the ancient family of the imperial doctor family has seen it himself and is helpless, it is naturally good for the girl to have this heart, but General Lin is already a person in the main room......"

I'm so angry and funny - why did these sons and daughters in the capital reach a consensus that the female doctor would have to marry someone else after seeing a doctor, what kind of strange logic is this!

I immediately said, "Don't worry, I still don't want to be a concubine." It's okay, I said casually, it's okay if you don't treat it, it's no problem at all. ”

Sun Shuyan smiled a little embarrassedly: "No, it's just that General Lin has been depressed for a long time after being injured before, and he was forced to retreat from the front line, and now except for his own wife, everyone else is more ...... Harshly, in fact, others are still very good, so don't be too afraid. ”

I understand this, but no matter how fierce a person is, how fierce can he be: "Don't worry, we have measure." ”

Sun Zhongjing took the opportunity to interject: "I think, do you have to change your clothes before entering the barracks, since this general has a bad temper, what if he sends fire to you and says that you are not well-groomed?" ”

Considering that after a few days of traveling, our current outfit may be no different from that of the refugees, Sun Zhongjing's words are indeed good, so we found a second-hand clothes store nearby.

There are not many styles and colors of civilian clothing, but there are only a few blues, grays, browns, and whites. We randomly selected three sets of women's clothing, and then we found a replacement set of men's robes for Sun Zhongjing. The three of us were picking and choosing, Sun Zhongjing had never liked these, and when he saw that the shop was really crowded, he came out to talk to his third brother Shujing.

The two talked a few words, and Sun Zhongjing asked: "I just said that I came to visit relatives, but you had to come out, and Gu Jiajun didn't allow women to enter or leave, how did you take us into this camp?" ”

Sun Shuyan was not in a hurry, and only pointed his hand to the notice posted on the wall not far away: "It's easy, you have uncovered this reward notice, and I, a military doctor, are in the middle, so it's not convenient to see General Lin directly?" ”

Sun Zhongjing then paced over and took a closer look, the content of the notice was not complicated, it was nothing more than the words of a person who spent a lot of money to solve the plague in the north, Sun Shuyan added on the side: "This list is not revealed by everyone, there have been five people who have exposed the notice before, and the result is that they are all liars, and they are all driven out by one person with twenty military sticks." ”

Sun Zhongjing walked up to unveil the notice as he responded, but Leng Buding stretched out a hand in the stab and stopped him: "Hey, Sun family boy, why don't you think about going to find death?" ”

Sun Zhongjing was quite surprised when he saw the person coming: "Fu Lao? ”

Before he could speak, Sun Shuyan hurriedly walked up to separate the two, and said angrily: "Why are you an old liar still pestering here, going to the Gu family's military camp to swagger and cheat, the executioner sees that you are old, and you will be let go after ten strokes, why don't you give up?" ”

The old man with some exotic appearance shook his head, only looked at Sun Zhongjing and said: "That stupid boy is still in the dark, you have a brain, you have to weigh it clearly, some people in this Gu family's army are afraid that they are going to destroy this army." ”

Sun Shuyan became more and more annoyed as he listened, and was about to have a seizure, but the old man had already walked away with his hands behind his back, and he had no choice but to give up.

Achu had the best ear strength, and when he heard the movement outside, he hurriedly ran over: "Ergouzi, what's wrong?" ”

Sun Zhongjing's face was calm, and he took down the notice and rolled it in his hand with a "swish": "An Chu, you call Bingran and Xin Yi, and we are "ready" to enter the Gu family's military camp. ”

In the camp, the military flags are unfurled, the spears are lined up, and from time to time there are large and small soldiers walking by in line, and the footsteps are neat like a person; The shouts and killings of the soldiers during the drill on the school field were endless, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Sun Shuyan whispered: "Now is the time for the Gu family's army to practice in the morning, and here is the most diligent Beiying of the soldiers. If the atmosphere in our southern camp will be much more relaxed, I will lead you there when I see the general. ”

"Well, thank you." I was nervous and didn't want to say a word more, until a person who looked like a general in his thirties came over, and my hand hidden in his sleeve couldn't stop shaking, and so did Achu and Xin Yi.

Although it is also a military uniform, the general's dress seems to be too exaggerated, especially the two egg-sized jadeites on the crown of his hair, which are very eye-catching.

Sun Zhongjing stood at the front, and just wanted to give a salute, the general waved his hand impatiently: "I'm not Lin Yi, it's his deputy general Cao Xuan." He saw Sun Shuyan saluting on the side, and his impatience was even worse: "What are you doing here, stand down." ”

The military order was like a mountain, Sun Shuyan had no choice but to retreat, sneak behind the nearby camp tent while no one was paying attention, and watch the situation outside with a worried face.

Only then did Sun Zhongjing salute and said, "The grass people have seen General Cao. ”

I, Achu, and Xin Yi saluted together: "The people have seen General Cao. ”

Cao Xuan didn't even look at us, he only coldly swept the notice in Sun Zhongjing's hand, and "snorted" in his nostrils: "It's here to cheat again, this is the sixth, and a group of people have come with their families!" ”

All four of us were stunned.

According to the criticality of the three passes in Zhenbei described by Sun Shuyan, at this time, someone took the initiative to reveal the notice that there was a way to treat the disease, not to mention being treated as a guest, at least he should politely ask about the situation before screening, how could he assert that others were liars as soon as they came up?

Before we could speak, Cao Xuan had already pulled out his legs and wanted to leave, so he only threw down one sentence: "One person beats twenty military sticks and drives him out of the camp." ”

Sun Zhongjing said: "General Cao, may I ask who you said was a liar?" It was the first time he had spoken so politely when he wanted to scold his mother.

Cao Xuan glanced at him, then looked at me, A Chu and Xin Yi, and added: "Women in the barracks are not allowed to trespass, since the three of them don't understand this rule, they will add thirty whips to the long memory!" ”

Twenty military sticks and thirty whips, I couldn't move for several months without being killed, and my face turned pale: "General, the folk girls have not said a word except for the salute, and you ordered to beat the military sticks, which is a little unreasonable." ”

And Cao Xuan's answer was not unexpected to me: "Unreasonable? Here, Uncle Ben is the reason! ”

I whispered, "Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths." ”

Cao Xuan did notice it, but he didn't really hear it, so he forced us while drawing his knife, with some viciousness in his eyes: "What did you say!" ”

The white blade is about to reach in front of him, and he may be slashing his neck in the next second, and it is impossible to say that he is not afraid at all. It's just that thanks to the fact that I often have to go up the mountain to solve my livelihood since I crossed, I have been deliberately exercising my courage in order to prevent wild beasts and bandits, and now I am still standing, and even the voice of the answer still sounds calm: "I said-"

"Capture the thief and capture the king first."

Ah Chu, who was beside him, immediately attacked when he heard the code, and the iron sword that was originally wrapped in an inconspicuous long cloth bag was already on Cao Xuan's neck in an instant.

Cao Xuan didn't expect that Ah Chu, who was dressed in the countryside, was actually armed with martial arts, and he didn't react when he was held hostage, and even half of the knife was still in the sheath.
