On this day, An Nan was settling accounts in the house, and by the way, she made plans and budgets for going to sea, and suddenly heard Mama An come over to her with a worried and worried face and said:

"Oh no, madam, there was an explosion when the master was refining pills in the Taoist temple, and the person who came back to report said that he was seriously injured and wanted to go home for treatment, so that Mrs. You can arrange the doctor and the people who serve you......"

An Nan raised her eyebrows, but she was not as worried as Mama An, she always felt that Zhou Zhan happened to be injured at this time, it was a coincidence, the timing was very delicate, but she didn't know if the truth was what she thought.

"Then tell someone to go to the doctor and prepare the precious medicinal materials in the storehouse." An Nan said lightly, the cheap husband is coming back, and this mansion is not her word, and I always feel a little disliked.

After Zhou Zhan was carried back in a sedan chair, An Nan saw this cheap husband for the first time.

His right eye, right hand, and right foot were wrapped in bandages, and it seemed that half of his entire body had been injured, and there was a faint amount of blood spilling out of the bandages, and it seemed that he was really badly injured.

An Nan was a little suspicious that he was not acting, and if he did it to this point, it would be too much of a loss.

But if this injury is real, he is really acting, and he is so ruthless to himself, then Zhou Zhan can't be underestimated.

The doctor invited to open the bandage on Zhou Zhan's wound, re-examine and apply medicine. An Nan watched intently from the sidelines, only by seeing his wound with her own eyes could she determine whether Zhou Zhan was really injured or fake, but since he dared to show the doctor openly, it was unlikely to be fake, and An Nan had already concluded in his heart.

"Madam, my wounds are bloody and terrifying, and they will scare you, why don't you avoid them first?" Zhou Zhan suddenly said softly to An Nan.

An Nan looked up and saw that his intact eyes were looking at him steadily, and when he saw her look over, he showed a gentle smile, as if he was really worried that he would scare his wife.

Zhou Zhan doesn't look like a military general, more like a civil official, although half of his face is almost covered, but he can still see his appearance from the other half of the exposure, he is handsome, although he is middle-aged, but there is a mature man's charm precipitated by time, maybe it is because of many years of cultivation in the Taoist temple, he still has a faint taste of detachment, in short, he is a very attractive man.

For good-looking people, An Nan is always tolerant, but she will not let go of this opportunity to observe the severity of his injury, so she also returned a gentle and amiable smile and said: "The concubine is not afraid, the general is so seriously injured, how can the concubine not take care of it?" ”

Zhou Zhan looked her up and down when he heard this, if he hadn't known his wife's pungent and bold true character in the return of his subordinates, he would really have been deceived by the virtuous worries she was pretending to be now, hehe, what a woman who is different from what she is looking at.

"Since Madame is so worried about me, let's stay." Zhou Zhan didn't force her out anymore.

An Nan replied to him with a hypocritical smile, so he stared at the movements in the doctor's hand, after the bandage was removed, the wound exposed by Zhou Zhan was really blurred with flesh and blood, scorched black and pus, it seemed that it was really blown up during alchemy.

However, An Nan could see at a glance that this trauma looked serious, in fact, as long as he took medicine well, he could recover as before, and it would not damage his physical foundation, but it would take several months to completely recover.

The war on the frontier has been going on for two months, but the main general has not won a single battle, and the emperor has been furious several times, if it were not for the fact that the change of generals in the battle will lead to the instability of the army, this main general would have been removed and replaced a long time ago.

The main general and several lieutenant generals are the emperor's henchmen, he thought that he would replace the general with his own henchmen and firmly hold the military power in his own hands, but he didn't expect that the most important thing to be a general is to be able to fight, but unfortunately his henchman's ability to fight did not learn half of the generals who were destroyed by the emperor, so he was beaten and lost a few cities.

"Smack!" The emperor angrily smashed the vase in front of him, stared at several high-ranking ministers in front of him with bloodshot eyes, and scolded: "What a waste! An army of hundreds of thousands can't defeat tens of thousands of barbarians, so what's the use of me asking you people?! ”

The prime minister, the military department Shangshu and others secretly complained in their hearts: they are not generals who fight, what is the use of scolding them? However, these people also understood that the emperor was angry, and they were scolded on behalf of the straw bag generals on the frontier.

"Several cities have been lost, but our soldiers have been defeated repeatedly, and they have not won a single battle, which is a great shame! Is there any way for Aiqing to turn defeat into victory? The Emperor asked, holding back his anger.

Several ministers didn't know how to answer with bitter faces, what can they do, fighting depends on the general's ability.

The Emperor waited for a long time without hearing a single answer, and several of the usually imposing ministers were eager to shrink themselves into quails so that the Emperor could not see them.

When the emperor saw their cowardice, he was even more angry that the top of his head was about to smoke: "Why don't you say a word now?" Don't you usually talk a lot? When you encounter something serious, let you come up with an idea, and you will all be a turtle with a shrunken head! Do you want me to take off the black hats on your heads, so that you can go home and plant sweet potatoes!" ”

"The emperor forgives his sins!" Several ministers fell to their knees at once, trembling and pleading guilty.

The military department Shangshu finally trembled and said tentatively: "It's better to let an experienced person be the general and supervise the army?" ”

"Experienced?" The emperor squinted his eyes and recalled, only to find that several of the generals who had fought had been killed by himself, and the remaining two were useless...... No, there's still a ...... that works.

"Someone! Go and bring me back the week! The emperor gave the order, and he didn't know that Zhou Zhan had returned home.

The guards quickly took the order and left, the Taoist temple of Zhou Zhan Xiudao on the outskirts of Beijing was not too far from the capital, and it was enough for a round trip for more than half an hour.

More than half an hour later, the guards came back to tell the emperor that Zhou Zhan had been seriously injured when he was alchemizing pills, and had returned to his house to recuperate.

"Seriously injured? Such a coincidence? Hum! Send a few imperial doctors to his house to treat his wounds! The emperor snorted coldly, suspecting that Zhou Zhan was deliberate, so he sent the imperial doctor to check, if he knew that Zhou Zhan was pretending, then don't blame him for "waste utilization......

Zhou Zhan had already anticipated the arrival of the imperial doctor, so he politely asked them to check his wounds with a slight smile, and asked the attendants who came with him to help him express to the emperor his guilt that he couldn't share the king's worries, saying that when he was healed, he would definitely lead the army to drive the foreign enemy back to their meadow and take back the lost city!

The chamberlain couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, when Zhou Zhan's injury was healed, the war would have ended long ago, where would he be used when the time came? I didn't expect Zhou Zhan to be a general, he said first-class good words, and he was really cunning, no wonder a few generals were not killed by the emperor, and he was still alive.
