Chapter 152: Miao Customs
Lan Jingan asked Yuan Zhengyan to go out and guard the door, and then told Lu Min what had happened recently. When Lu Min heard Xie Weining's identity, he frowned. Puzzled, he said, "This Nine Emperors of the Xia Kingdom seems to be too selfless in helping us, right?" ”
Lan Jing'an whispered, "I used to feel this way. The eldest brother couldn't say why he wanted to do it. Later, I thought about it again, and I felt that the reason why he helped us fight against Dayong was just to make the fishermen profitable. As long as both of us are busy with the war, we will not have the strength to deal with Xia Guo, just to help Xia Guo recuperate. ”
Lu Min pondered for a moment, Lan Jing'an's statement was indeed very reasonable. It seems that in the short term, this Nine Emperor Prince should not make any moves to harm the cadres.
Lan Jing'an said: "I also sent people to strengthen patrols in the study hall and other places, and resolutely did not let Xie Weining have a chance to get close. Since he is willing to help us now, then we will accept all his kindness for the time being. It's really the day when I turn my face with Xia Guo, and then talk about the problems at that time. ”
Lan Jing'an and Lu Min talked secretly for most of the morning, and later, with the arrival of Bai Qingfeng, the three of them discussed in detail the arrangement of troops, grain, grass and ships. Jiang Xianlin was afraid that Lu Min would be too tired when he woke up, so he specially reminded Lan Jingan not to talk to Lu Min for too long at a time, and the three of them stopped talking.
Lan Jing'an took Bai Qingfeng out of Lu Min's room and went to Li Xie again. Li Xie was able to help Lu Min detoxify, and for Lan Jing'an, it was a big problem for her. She was filled with real gratitude to this exotic girl.
When Li Xie saw Lan Jing'an, he was bored going back and forth in the room. She really wanted to go out, but she was afraid of running into Xie Weining, and she didn't know if he would raise his face again to teach her a lesson. So she simply pretended to have a hangover and stayed in the room, waiting for Lan Jing'an to take the initiative to come to her.
Lan Jing'an gave Li Xie a long bow and said sincerely: "Thank you Miss Li for saving me yesterday. Now General Lu has woken up safely. Doctor Jiang said that with two more doses, he would be cured. Miss Li's great kindness to General Lu is unforgettable. In the future, as long as Miss Li is in the place of the army, we will protect you. ”
Li Xie grinned: "That's not necessary. It was also General Lu's good life that allowed you to find me and detoxify him. As long as you help me write a letter of introduction, we will be able to settle the matter. ”
Lan Jing'an asked Bi Luan to come over with pen and ink, and in front of Li Xie, he personally wrote a letter of recommendation to Xiao Qingyun. It's just that in this letter, she used the tone of Xiangyang's commander, described the whole story in detail, and hoped that the generalissimo could receive her well.
Li Xie took the letter, dried it carefully, and carefully placed it in his arms. Then he chatted with Lan Jing'an. When Lan Jing'an and Bai Qingfeng heard that she was a descendant of the Miao people, the two exchanged a tacit look.
Bai Qingfeng pretended to be curious and asked Li Xie: "I heard that you Miao people have a kind of love Gu, which is very powerful. I don't know if it's true or not? ”
Li Xie nodded: "Big Brother Bai is well-informed. You're right, the love Gu is one of the most powerful Gu in our Miao population, and the two of them should naturally depend on each other for life and death. ”
Bai Qingfeng asked again: "Then what is the way to solve this love Gu?"
Li Xie shook his head suspiciously: "Love Gu is not a poison, how can there be an antidote?" Besides, isn't it a good thing that two lovers tie up a love Gu? Why do you want to untie it? ”
Bai Qingfeng smiled awkwardly: "I'm just asking." By the way, I heard that the love Gu is only known to the Miao witch, do you think the witch will have a way to solve the love Gu? ”
Li Xie said crisply: "Brother Bai, I don't know anything. We Miao people are different from Han Chinese. We live according to the tribe, in the tribe, the leader of the tribe is the witch, but there is not only one witch, but there are ten witches, such as Wuxian, Wuji, Wuqi, Wupeng, Wugu, Wuzhen, Wuli, Wudu, Wuxie, Wuluo, etc. ”
Lan Jing'an and Bai Qingfeng both heard about the Miao tribe for the first time, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Xie continued: "Among the ten witches, Wu Xian has the highest status, but the ten witches can all kinds of Gu magic. It's just that which one is good at raising what kind of Gu depends on their mother and themselves. Gu art must not only be taught, but also depend on one's own understanding. ”
She paused and said, "And there is more than one Miao tribe in the southwest, and the methods of cultivating Gu are also slightly different, so it is not the Gu of their own tribe, even the Ten Witches rarely interfere." As for whether the love Gu is completely incomprehensible, only the witch who planted the Gu can know. ”
Lan Jing'an and Bai Qingfeng were completely shocked. In this way, it is indeed difficult to unlock the love Gu on Lan Jing'an's body, just finding the Miao witch may not work, you must find the specific witch who gave Xie Weining's love Gu. Lan Jing'an and Bai Qingfeng glanced at each other, and they both felt a sense of frustration in their hearts.
The two then changed the topic and asked Li Xie where he planned to go after arriving in Qingzhou. Li Xie tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "I don't know, let's talk about it then." I like to do whatever it takes, and I go wherever it's interesting. ”
Lan Jing'an smiled when he heard this, and it sounded very much in line with Li Xie's character. She turned her head to look at Bi Luan, and sure enough, she saw a look of envy in her eyes.
Lan Jing'an then asked her what she had planned for the past two days. Li Xie said without hesitation: "It's time to take a break in the past two days, and then wait for General Lu to be completely healed." I'll go. However, I don't like to be followed, and you don't have to send someone to protect me. ”
Bai Qingfeng shook his head: "Then how can it be done." What if you walk alone and there is danger on the road. Let's find two people to escort you to Qingzhou. ”
Li Xie was obviously unhappy: "No. I can go to Jingzhou alone, why can't I go to Qingzhou. Or are you worried about me and have to find someone to watch me? ”
Lan Jing'an could see that Li Xie was used to being alone, and she didn't like others to doubt her abilities. She took out a talisman from her bosom and handed it to Li Xie. Kindly said to Li Xie: "This is the talisman of our cadres. It will be more convenient for you to take this across states and counties. And if you are in trouble, you can also go to various places to guard for help with this. ”
Li Xie was taken aback, but he didn't expect Lan Jing'an to give her a talisman of the Qianjun. She silently apologized in her heart. Lan Jing'an, although you are a good person, you are destined not to be with him, this is your life, no wonder me.
Li Xie Xing rushed to accept the talisman handed to her by Lan Jing'an. Instead, he asked Lan Jing'an if he would stay in Xiangyang all the time. Lan Jing'an shook his head gently: "I will leave after the battle in Xiangyang is stable." ”
Lan Jing'an and Xiao Qingyun's marriage is only a private agreement, and it has not yet been made public. Naturally, she didn't want to let Li Xie know now.
Li Xie and Lan Jing'an chatted for a while, and there was no topic. After all, a person in his heart is now worried about the situation in Xiangyang every day, and he has no time to care about anything else; The other was calculating how to snatch people out of Lan Jing'an's hands at this time, and how could he bear to greet him with a smile all the time.
Lan Jing'an saw that the things that needed to be done were done, so he got up and said goodbye. Li Xie promised her that she would visit Lu Min in the afternoon and see how he was doing. Then she sent a few people out, closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
