Chapter 55: To Each His Own
"It's nonsense!" Wang Meng almost felt a chill behind his back, and his eyebrows were raised, "You have been by my side for so long, and you are also following this kid so nonsense!?" β
Xue Ziping was stunned for a moment, and the steps under his feet also stopped, "...... do you mean?" β
"What if it wasn't grooms in the town at the time, but a genuine elite squad? What did you say yesterday when we discussed this in the Jungle, you forgot?! Wang Meng was furious, "Even if it is just an ordinary golden soldier, the combat power of those dozens of people should not be underestimated - not to mention that you are also taking unarmed people on an adventure together, if you make a mistake, won't you lose the lives of these people in vain!" β
Xue Ziping coughed lightly, lowered his head and smiled, "Don't hide it, I asked the same question at the time." β
"Then you're alsoβ"
"Please listen to me," Xue Ziping said softly, "At that time, when Wei Songqing wanted to take everyone to the town, his subordinates also disagreed. Stone Monkey Town is only seven or eight miles away from Liangtouwang, if this group of gold thieves is just a group of advance teams, the purpose is to rob Shihou Town as a stronghold, or even intentionally launch a night surprise attack on Liangtouwang...... Then if we go directly like this, it is tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger, and even startling a snake. Not to mention letting these people venture behind our firecrackers.
At that time, Wei Songqing called two mountain people to come and asked them if they had seen or heard any movement on the mountain that day, and several mountain people said no, but the smoke rose at noon and at night, and it should be the people in the town who were cooking on the stove.
After answering like this, Wei Songqing said to his subordinates that it was precisely because the Stone Monkey Town was only seven or eight miles away from Liangtouwang, if the golden thief really intended to rob this town as a stronghold or fight the idea of Liangtouwang, then he would definitely take action tonight, otherwise he would risk being attacked by Liangtouwang and the Zhou army of Zhuozhou at the same time.
However, these gold thieves did nothing, and there was no backup for the whole day, which shows that they are a group of real rangers, and they can only take refuge here for the time being. Therefore, as long as the intimidation is in place, these people will be taken down without blood. β
Wang Meng did not speak.
Not far away, the county magistrate who was looking at both ends was walking out of the room to greet each other, and greeted him from a distance.
Wang Mengying looked at his old friend, also stepped forward and bowed his hand, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Lord Shao, I suddenly remembered some things in the army at this time, so I won't accompany you today." β
"Huh? Why do you have to leave? β
Wang Meng looked at Xue Ziping, "Do you know where Wei Songqing went to hang out?" β
Xue Ziping shook his head, and then suddenly remembered something, "Some people said that there is a stone tablet of the Lin family's father and son in the east of the city, and Brother Wei seems to be very interested." β
As soon as the words fell, Wang Meng took a big stride and almost trotted out, and Shao Xianling behind him looked ignorant, completely unaware of what was going on.
β¦β¦
There is not only a stele of the Lin family father and son in the east of the city, but also a stele forest in the east of the city looking at both ends.
The structure of this town is very similar to that of Tunlongpi, perhaps most of the towns in the north have a similar temperament, Bai Ling led the horse and looked at the stone monuments one by one.
Even though it was noon, the sudden cold wind still whipped like a knife on the face, and strangely enough, it did not affect the scorching sun overhead, which not only did not warm one's body, but stabbed one's pain.
In the afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest, the place of the Forest of Steles was unobstructed, and no one stopped to stop except for Bai Ling.
Wearing a hood that covered half of her face firmly, Bai Ling walked and stopped, and finally stopped at the northeast corner of the stele forest.
The steles here are of varying heights and fonts, and they are written about the major events in these two cities, starting from the Apocalypse until this summer. Bai Ling didn't look at the stele in front of him very closely, but he glanced at it a few times, and the further back the stele became, the newer it became, and the closer the time became.
Lin Bai appeared more and more.
It seems that the traces left by Bai Yi on both sides are far beyond her previous expectations.
Liangtouwang is a county town with an extremely dangerous location, and it is also an important town connecting Zhuozhou and Yanzhou, and Bai Yi has spent almost all the summers in Liangtouwang in the past two years.
He has a special clinic here, but it is not used to treat ordinary people, but to share and discuss cases with doctors in Zhuo and Yanzhou.
Previously, because Bai Yi spent most of his time in Jingzhou, in addition to the doctors in Jing and Fuzhou, who could see him from time to time, if the doctors in other places wanted to see him, they had to go over the mountains and mountains-which was dangerous and hard, so Bai Yi later chose Liangtouwang, a small town between Zhuozhou and Yanzhou, as a base for exchanges with the two states in the north and south every summer.
Each sharing and discussion lasts about half a month, and Bai Yi is far from the only one who will give a report, and he seems to have moved the form of an academic seminar here. In early summer, doctors who want to participate in the seminar need to submit an application to the government office in their state capital, and if they have a case they want to share, they will submit it along with a report of a case they have encountered this year or previous years.
The reports are anonymized and then selected by a few well-known local doctors, and about 30 or so presenters are selected.
The names of the 30 people and the cases they each want to share will be compiled into a summary and distributed in the two lookouts.
In that half-month seminar, every morning and afternoon, the selected doctors would share in the "special" clinic of Bai Yi, and the doctors who came to participate in the report could choose which report to listen to according to the content of the summary.
The medical sharing session is only in its second year this year, but it has already been well received.
Every year, the case reports and seminars are compiled into a book, published and distributed, and even transmitted to the capital, where they are named and praised by the cabinet.
This form was learned by the "Agricultural Research Institute" and the "Industrial Research Institute" in Pingjing in the second year, but the situation of the later reproduction in Beijing is not clear.
Bai Ling couldn't help but stretch out her hand, wanting to touch Lin Bai's name on the stone tablet, and she suddenly realized that in the past few years of separation, although she and Bai Yi had never met, the two had been doing similar things.
And once he realized this, Bai Ling felt an indescribable warmth rise in his heart. They are all trying to coexist peacefully with this world, although there are twists and turns, but it seems that both she and Bai Yi have found their own way.
The sound of horses' hooves came from behind her, waking Bai Ling from her thoughts, and she turned back to see Wang Meng riding his horse towards her.
"Vice General Wang......" Bai Ling was a little surprised, "Are you eating so fast?" β
