Yue Tang knew that someone was following her, and she didn't let people drive her away, so she let people follow her to the medical hall, thinking in her heart how long it would take for Hong Ding to hang people up for public display, and whether she would be delayed by other people and things. Today's torture is like a farce, she knows that Lei Xing wants to exchange the bald man for the four sons, and she also knows that it is pure luck to be able to come out of the place surrounded by heavy troops today - if it weren't for the fact that Tang Lian had a dispute with the other three city lords in order to let Tang Cong come back with him to live, and because they were worried that their son would really die of the epidemic, they gave themselves the opportunity to leave after a while, maybe they would still be trapped in them and couldn't get out.

What she understands better is that Lei Xing opened this mess to her just to tell her that if she didn't ask Lei Xing and her family for help, this kind of troublemaking would only continue to emerge in an endless stream, and there would never be an end to it.

Even if you can cope with it, there are times when you are tired, and even if you can turn around, you are likely to fall into a trap.

No one is perfect, and there is no perfect strategy.

This is the most profound lesson that Yue Tang has learned from blood and tears over the years.

It is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, this is not a battlefield that Yue Tang is good at, not to mention that the real strong dragon here is the Yue family behind Lei Xing, and the Ke family who has not yet made a move.

She didn't have to think about it to know that everyone in Beijing was waiting for news from her side, and when she tried it again, she pushed the boat down the river or fell into the well. Whether she solves the problem at hand or not, there will be more problems coming to her, persecuting her, driving her, luring her down the path that those people want her to take.

She shook her head irritably and glanced at Tang Cong coldly. Tang Cong was already tremblingly observing Yue Tang on horseback, for fear that she would not kill herself on the spot, but at this time, he was shocked by the coldness in her eyes, and his legs immediately clamped the horse's belly nervously, and suddenly stopped.

Yue Tang was really a little impatient when he saw him stop, and shouted, "What do you want to do?!" ”

Tang Cong was frightened, looked at her timidly and said: "I, I did what you said, the eldest husband is hard to chase after him, you can't kill me!" ”

Yue Tang sneered: "Big husband? Do you think I am? ”

Tang Cong hurriedly said: "If you kill me, there will be no medicinal materials!" ”

Yue Tang glanced at his arm casually and said with a smile: "If I don't kill you, you won't live long." Didn't you say there were two younger brothers? Your father is not one of your sons, how can you see that he will send medicinal herbs? ”

Tang Cong said half eagerly and half proudly: "How can it be the same? My mother is from the Lanxi Pan family, how can those two partial concubines who can't be on the stage compare with me? ”

Lanxi Pan family - the head of the three major families in the six cities.

Yue Tang nodded with a clear face: "Sure enough, it is a big family." But your father can marry another daughter of the Lanxi Pan family and have another son-in-law, what do you say? ”

"W-How is this possible?" Tang Cong's words were a little unsmooth, although he denied it, but with some unconfidence.

Yue Tang sneered, and didn't bother to tease him anymore, seeing that the medical hall was close at hand, he ordered Sui Hu Haosheng to take Tang Cong in and hand it over to Chang Yu, and he turned his horse and ran towards the highest mountain.

There were already a lot of people gathered at the foot of the mountain, and even a few of them were thunderers, and Hong Ding could recognize them at a glance. He raised his eyes to look at the bald man who was hanging from the side, his face was gray and gray, and he did not move as if he were dead.

Hong Ding said aloud to the onlookers: "I have already said it again, if anyone knows the whereabouts of the medicinal herb storehouse, you can report it to me, and if there is anyone who conceals it and is verified, or who is privately connected with those who hoard medicinal materials, it will be the same fate as this monk." ”

The people exchanged their heads and ears, and the discussion became louder and louder. Hong Ding arranged the guards and walked down the hill to the people. Recently, because Yue Tang brought people here to help, he was familiar with going in and out a lot, and someone said directly to Hong Ding——

"Official, have you searched in the city? Before martial law, many of us found medicinal herbs from there! ”

"Lord Hui is giving porridge outside the Jingkong Temple on the fifteenth day of the new year, he is a good person......

"What's good, marry my little sister as the ninth concubine, and marry the tenth room in two months!"

"Maybe it's not hoarding medicinal materials, there were still Beiting people in the city before, maybe it was the Beiting people who swept away the medicinal materials to let us have no medicine to cure the disease."

Hong Ding looked at the person who said something, and recognized this person at a glance as an inconspicuous entourage beside Lei Xing. Hong Ding thinks that he has no other skills, but he recognizes one in a thousand. He looked at this person without moving, and asked kindly, "How do you know that there have been people from Beiting in the city?" What do the people of Beiting look like, have you seen them? ”

The man nodded: "I saw my relatives twice when I went to the border. Most of the people in the North Court have high noses and deep eyes, and they are whiter than us, and most of the soldiers in the North Court are equipped with heavy armor and hold specially shaped blades, so I am very impressed......" Before the words fell, his head and neck were suddenly pulled by a rope, and he sat down to the ground in a panic.

The other end of the rope was involved in Yue Tang's hand.

The surrounding people saw Yue Tang's murderous expression of wanting to strangle this person to death, and they all took a few steps back in fright.

Hong Dingxi said: "Coming back?" You okay? ”

Yue Tang tightened the rope in his hand again, and said, "What can happen." But this person is not bad at confusing the public. She threw the rope to Hong Ding, "Throw it down and fight." Then he turned to the people and said, "Don't be alarmed. I have come here to fight the plague, and I will not spare anyone who intends to live by it. Although Beiting and I have fought from time to time in Daxia, they live next to each other after all, and there is also an epidemic in Beiting at this time, on the occasion of chaos, in addition to the attack of Beiting people, there is a worry about life, otherwise once the traces of Beiting people are found to report quickly, you must not wantonly kill, do you understand? ! ”

"Yes......" "I understood...... "The response of the sparse Lala came from among the people, and it seemed a little careless.

Yue Tang also knew that his prestige in this place was not as good as Chang Heal, so he was a little kinder and said, "I have already negotiated with the city lords of the neighboring four cities, and they will send medicinal materials over later, so you don't have to worry too much." ”

Hearing this, the crowd immediately became a little lively, and they all came over to gather around Yue Tang to ask whether the matter of the medicinal materials was true, when it would be shipped and other details. Yue Tang patiently answered one by one, and occasionally looked at the bald man hanging on the mountain. The upper half of his body was naked, and the lower half of his body was only a pair of thin pants, and the medicine had made him lose his mind and breathe—it was hard to say how long he would last.

In the medical hall, Chang Yu was still busy, and when he saw Yue Tang coming back, he still scolded: "I can't find you anywhere, where are the medicinal materials?!" ”

Yue Tang waved his hand to comfort him: "You should be able to arrive tonight, don't be impatient." ”

"Rest easy?" Chang Yu's voice was a little higher, "There is no medicine, there are no people, you still let me calm down a little?" He approached Yue Tang in a few steps and stared at her, "What about the son-in-law who took away?" In exchange for what? ”

Yue Tang still looked helpless: "I didn't get anything, I brought it back." ”

Chang Yu's voice wanted to pierce Yue Tang's ear drums: "Bring it back to do something!" Waste of food! Throw it out of me! ”

Yue Tang frowned harshly, directly covered his password, he couldn't make a sound, and said: "If there are no medicinal materials tonight, I will beg for mercy, in short, there will be medicinal materials for you, don't worry." ”

Chang Yue is quieter.

Yue Tang put down his hand, picked up a bowl of cold tea in his hand and drank it. Chang Yu looked at her for a while, and his voice suddenly lowered a lot: "Others say that you can only become a general by relying on the Yue family and the Ke family of your future in-laws, is that the case?" ”

For a moment, Yue Tang felt that he should be angry, and he should scold this Chang Yue to his face, and hurt Chen Jiashi to let him know how General Guiying came about, but he was suddenly deflated and laughed at himself casually: "What's the matter?" If you can get medicinal herbs, you don't have to be a general in vain. ”

Chang Yue looked at her with a sense of pity, so he didn't ask any more questions, but sighed to himself: "Everything is complicated, the future is worrying, how many people can be guaranteed." Xue Huai is always right. ”

Yue Tang looked at him: "Who?" ”

Chang Yu: "One of my medical officers, named Xue Huai, you have seen it, he led the way for you, and you slept outside and gave you a quilt." ”

Yue Tang let out an "oh" and asked casually, "Why haven't you seen him in the past few days?" ”

Chang Yu turned around and walked towards the medicine jar, and replied, "Let's go to Wanglu, there are more people who have worsened recently." ”

"Wanglu is a good name." Yue Tang praised it, and Chang Yue saw that she seemed to praise herself, and said, "It's Xuehuai's name, not me." ”

Yue Tang was slightly stunned, and then looked at him with some suspicion: "Who is the chief medical officer, you or him?" Shouldn't you be a seriously ill patient? ”

Chang Yu smiled and said, "General Yue, I was just a low-level medical officer before you came, if it weren't for the medical officer who was higher than me here, where would it be my turn to be the chief medical officer?" Xue Huai's medical skills are much better than mine, if it weren't for him, the people in the main city of Lanxi would have died. ”

Yue Tang: "What's his surname?" I can play and reward him. ”

Chang Yu sneered: "He doesn't care about that, besides, I don't know his surname, Xuehuai is his legal name, and the common name should have been abandoned." ”

Yue Tang was taken aback: "Law number? Is he a monk? ”

Chang Yu: "Yes, the monk of the Jingkong Temple, a famous medical monk in the six cities of Lanxi." Seeing that Yue Tang was a little confused, he explained, "He has been wrapped tightly since we met, so you didn't notice that he was bald." ”

Yue Tang's heart moved inexplicably, thinking of the person who was hanged up.

No wonder it feels familiar.

Yue Tang stood up and walked out, calling out to Hong Ding. Chang Yu looked at her inexplicably, and listened to her command to Hong Ding, who came in a hurry: "Be a dummy and hang it, and quickly carry the real person over to me!" ”
