"That's ......" Xue Ziping looked a little regretful, but still said solemnly, "I understand." ”

The two of them went to the old clinic site on both sides to the east, and Bai Ling sat on horseback without saying a word, thinking about the past with some distraction.

Wei Ying didn't even want others to know that he was still alive, so naturally he wouldn't accept the visit.

However, the master that Xue Ziping wanted to ask was afraid that it was not Wei Ying who taught him kung fu.

If you have to talk about the enlightenment of the art of war, perhaps...... It's more from Hengyuan-kun.

Whenever he thought of this person, Bai Ling felt that his mood was a little complicated.

Now away from Heikyo, everything in the past seems to be covered with a faint gray shadow, and those once hideous hatreds are like beasts that have temporarily closed their eyes, falling into a deep sleep along with the distant cage.

In all fairness, that time of playing in the deep palace was one of the few pleasures at that time.

Now she only feels that the world is absurd - the true prince who was sent out of Qinyuan by the former prince Xueye has invested in gold, while the puppet has stayed in Pingjing City and continues to bear his mission of being almost a prisoner.

I don't know how the brothers Prince Xian and Emperor Jianxi would feel when they saw this scene if they had spirits in the sky.

"Here we are." Xue Ziping said softly.

Bai Ling came back to his senses.

In front of me is a simple northern courtyard, and on days when there are no gatherings, people come in and out from time to time.

"Just send it here," Bai Ling said softly, "I want to be alone—"

"Songqing, let me accompany you." Xue Ziping quickly replied, "This is also the meaning of Lord Wang and Shao County's order, after all, there may be Jin people in the city, and it is not safe to leave you alone outside." ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Yes." ”

The open space in the courtyard is empty at the moment, but I heard Xue Ziping say that when the summer seminar comes, this open space will be full of bamboo benches, and when there are many people, even the fence of the courtyard is full of people.

When the seminar is not in session, the courtyard is used as a library of medical books, and each book in the house is numbered for free borrowing by doctors registered with the state government.

The cottage to the south is reserved for Bai Yi to live - he lives here during the busiest half of the summer.

The door of the house was locked from the outside, and Bai Ling asked the old man who was guarding the yard if he had a key, and replied that the lock was locked by Dr. Lin Bailin himself, and even if it was a temporary house, he didn't like others to move around.

She stopped in front of the window and looked in the hollowed-out wooden lattice.

This room is similar to Bai Yi's office layout in the West Firewood Room of Tai Hospital, and there is even a wall cabinet with a similar shape.

Because the door was locked, no one could enter the house to take care of it, so there was a layer of dust in all the places - but Bai Yi wrapped all the furniture in some white cloth.

There was a table across from the window, and Bai Ling stared at it for a long time.

She imagined more than a thousand days and nights of separation, and some of those nights, Bai Yi sat here to work.

I really want to put on my wings and fly to Jingzhou now.

"Who?" Xue Ziping suddenly grabbed the knife at his waist and said vigilantly towards the corner of the hut, "Come out!" ”

Bai Ling was also startled by Xue Ziping's voice, and looked over the situation—a foot first stretched out from the south wall of the hut, and then a familiar face poked out.

Li Yiru raised his hands in the air, approached with some trepidation, and leaned back to avoid Xue Ziping's knife.

The young man smiled sadly at Bai Ling, "It's me, second brother." ”

……

Two days later, new news came from Yanzhou and Zhuozhou.

This year's Jin Bing's road count is really different from previous years, and what happened in Liangtouwang before also happened in Zhuozhou and Yanzhou.

Zhuozhou City was garrisoned by Chang Sheng, and more than a dozen county towns below were safe, but three of the six main granaries were burned.

Yanzhou, on the other hand, was not optimistic, and several large counties were broken down the day after the Jin soldiers set fires.

However, this time the Jin soldiers entered the city and plundered, but they did not hurt anyone, they ransacked more than a dozen granaries, stole all the mules, horses, cattle and sheep, and then drove away.

Shenji Chuanyuan was patrolling Fuzhou, and now he has also led his troops south and entered Yanzhou to take over again.

But in any case, everything seems to be settled.

The Jin soldiers retreated fifty or sixty miles beyond the border, and it seemed as if they were gathering troops to the west—if that were the case, then this year's engagement should be over here.

It is said that the prefects of several prefectures have received handwritten letters from Arslan, as well as the barracks of Changsheng and Shinjichuan.

As for what Arslan wrote in the letter, Wang Meng and his entourage, who looked at each other, are not known for the time being.

However, in the early morning of the seventh day, Wang Meng left the southern city - Cao Xun, the prefect of Zhuozhou.

Due to the destruction of the official road from Zhuozhou to both ends, Cao Zhifu really took a long detour to arrive.

Bai Ling also followed out of the city, and she looked left and right for a long time on the way, but she didn't see Shao Kuan's figure.

"Why didn't Shao County Order come out with him?" Bai Ling looked at Xue Ziping, "Isn't this Cao Zhifu his top boss......

"It's like a sick person, and you can't welcome it from afar." Xue Ziping said in a low voice.

"Sick?" Bai Ling frowned - she was still eating and chatting with this Lord Shao last night, and there was no sickness at all during the banquet.

“…… What do we know about officialdom? Xue Zi'an smiled on the side, "Our Lord Shao doesn't know how many years he has been suppressed by the Cao Governor's Mansion, and he is still a small county order." You see that this time it is one of the counties that have suffered the least losses, and the other counties have all received the praise order, what did Lord Shao get? Nothing. ”

Bai Ling tilted his head slightly, "...... In this way, Lord Shao and Lord Cao can't get along? ”

"That's for sure." Xue Zi'an said with a smile, "Last spring, our Lord Shao took a copy of Lord Cao, and at that time—"

"Zi'an!" Xue Ziping scolded his younger brother heavily.

Bai Ling hurriedly rode his horse and intervened between the two brothers, "I'm just curious, I'll go directly to ask Lord Wang in a while, you two don't quarrel." ”

Xue Zi'an didn't seem to take his brother's reprimand to heart at all, and walked around to Xue Ziping, who was already black-faced, with a smile and joked again.

Bai Ling sighed lightly, when he was alone with Xue Ziping on weekdays, he was also a gentle and indifferent person, but when he came to his younger brother, he put on a straight face, often looking like an eldest brother like a father.

The team that greeted the arrival of Cao Zhifu went all the way to five miles south of the city.

Everyone stopped, staring ahead of the road, but they couldn't see Cao Xun's men and horses.

After waiting for more than an hour, the horses shivered in the cold wind, and the soldiers had to take their horses around in small steps to avoid freezing their mounts.

Bai Ling rode up and stopped beside Wang Meng.

"My lord, I heard that Shao Xianling is sick today," Bai Ling said softly, "Do you know what the illness is?" ”
