17. Go back and come

In just a few days, the three armies returned, and after arranging Ma Chao's residence, they sent someone to call him over. Although Zixuan came back with Ma Chao, he didn't visit Zhao Yun for unnecessary trouble, and he didn't even go to see his sister ruthlessly.

---- report, the lord asked General Ma to come overβ€”

Ma Chao quickly came to Liu Bei's eyes and asked sincerely, "Lord, what's the matter with me?" ”

Liu Bei smiled honestly, with a lovely smile, "Ah, as soon as I leave the mansion in the east of the city, you can live there." ”

"Thank you, Ma Chao has nothing to repay."

"That's a big deal."

There will still be greetings, and discord between faces and hearts is also a common thing, Ma Chao has just been included in Liu Bei's subordinates, and Liu Bei will naturally pay more attention to it.

- Report, military division, there have been a succession of soldiers in the army who have fallen ill recently, and there are five more cases today--- Kong Ming heard the news, his brows tightened, and he went to check, and the soldier stepped forward and asked, "Military division, do this?" ”

"Isolate these soldiers first." After checking for most of the day, Kong Ming didn't find the reason, and then he remembered someone...... The Confucian student brought by Ma Chao has never shown up, and there is always a feeling that he will have a way. Thinking about it, he walked towards Mafu.

--Report, the military advisor asked to see --- "What, do this?" The military advisor does not come to the door easily, and there must be something important to come, but Meng Qi has not come back yet. Please. ”

The little guy at the door led Kong Ming in and waited in the lobby, thinking that Ma Chao was not there, Kong Ming must be looking for him, it was better to tease him, and leave here directly without taking any action, it was no longer within his consideration.

Zixuan changed into a women's dress, a light green skirt embroidered with purple flowers in this hot summer look particularly refreshing, casually pulled a bun, the black hair set off the face is fairer, slightly applied with fat powder, and the cheeks are more ruddy, this is the woman who is suitable for her, the woman in the mirror is not bad, and she must be captivated by dressing up a little, and there is no such mood at the moment.

Zixuan walked towards Kong Ming with a cup of tea, feeling uneasy, "My lord hasn't come back yet, so the military advisor will wait for a while." He said softly, keeping his head down and not daring to look at Kong Ming.

"Can the strategists who came with General Ma Chao be in the mansion?"

Zixuan frowned and secretly screamed in his heart, this would definitely be recognized, "What you said must be Mr. Zhao." Forced to squeeze out a smile and stumble.

"Oh?" Kong Ming thought to himself, that person's surname was Zhao.

"Mr. has always been withdrawn and never sees guests, why don't you have anything to say to the military advisor?" Anyway, no one has seen him, just make up some idiosyncratic qualities to fool him, anyway, he didn't know it would be Zixuan, and he didn't know that the person in front of him was Zixuan!

"I heard that Mr. is proficient in medicine, so I came to ask for advice."

"Don't dare, Mr. Zhao just knows a little bit about the skin, military advisor, please say it directly."

"Recently, a large number of soldiers in the army have fallen ill, and I really can't find the reason, so I came to ask Mr. Zhao for help." When it comes to this, Kong Ming still has quite a headache.

"No, I'll go and report." Zixuan smiled awkwardly, said goodbye to Kong Ming and walked into the house.

"It's really good tea, there's Miss Lao." Kong Ming looked at her and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and everything was in his view.

In fact, he didn't need to pass on anything, he walked to the study, picked up the pen and quickly wrote on the paper with his left hand~ and returned to the lobby, Kong Ming just quietly tasted tea and looked at the surrounding decorations thoughtfully.

Hand the note to Kong Ming, Kong Ming opened it and took a look, and told him on a certain day, there were only four words, Zixuan really didn't know what was going on, and in order to prevent Ma Chao from coming back at any time, it was better to close the door and thank the guests.

"This was given to you by Mr. Zhao himself?" Kong Ming held the note and asked the woman in front of him, smiling rather than smiling

"Yes, by hand." Zixuan smiled embarrassedly, he made a mistake, where is this teasing Kong Ming, it is clear that he is guilty, it seems that there is still nothing to be done about him!

"Zhao Hongying, Zixuan, don't come unharmed, I didn't expect you to be a woman, so beautiful." looked at her for a while, her beauty was different from ordinary women, she had her own unique beauty of Lingxiu, and she was as cold and charming as Hanmei, more of her intelligence and strategy.

"How did you recognize me?" Zixuan was very angry and secretly annoyed, it seemed that this opponent could only hide and disappear, and he was discovered as soon as they met, and he made a mistake!

"Why is ink on your cuffs, if you write it with your own hands? And why are you sure I won't recognize you when you change into women's clothes? ”

Zixuan looked at the cuffs but there were inkstains, he usually wore the clothes he carried, and the cuffs and trouser legs were tightly tied with a robe that rarely wore such a loose and large cuffs.

"I hope the military division will keep it a secret for me!"

"Bright." Gently shaking the feather fan, but he wanted to say something and stopped, "But..."

"I see, I'll help you with what you just said." Sighing lightly, in the end, he was still surrounded by him, and it was probably impossible to hide it again.

"Liang Wei once said." Zixuan's eyes widened, and this remorse in his heart let him lead the army again, as if Zixuan had been making mistakes and losing to him since he met him, "However, since Zixuan agreed, let me go." ”

"I'll change my clothes first." It seems to get rid of this troublesome dress as soon as possible.

"Actually, you're beautiful." Kong Ming looked at her with sincere eyes, it should be from the heart, but now she can't be a woman again.

"I don't like it." Zixuan changed back into men's clothes and left with him.

When the two came to the barracks, they saw a soldier falling, Zixuan took a pulse on a soldier's wrist, and there was no conclusion for a long time, "What's wrong?." ”

Zixuan shook his head, "Strategist, I want to investigate, but first of all, the patient must be isolated, and the less contact with the outside world, the better." ”

"Okay."

"What did they eat? What have you been exposed to? ……”

Zi Xuan asked a series of questions, still no result, there was no problem with the food, water, but there were some questions, Kong Ming and Zi Xuan stayed together all day, and time passed in a hurry,

In the blink of an eye, the sun sank, Zixuan searched carefully, and never noticed a pair of deep eyes on the side staring at him from behind, "Thank you Zixuan, let's investigate this today, it's not too early, I'll send you back." ”

"Oh, good."

The two walked to Ma Mansion, and Kong Ming asked, "Oh, why did Zixuan come to Ma Chao?" Zixuan wanted to laugh a little and said: "I live here, Meng Qi knows that I know you, he only knows me here, if I abandon him at this time, he will think that I deceived him." ”

Since he has come here, he stayed to have a light meal with Kong Ming, but Ma Chao has not returned for a long time, and someone has just come to spread the word, it is Liu Bei who left him for dinner.

"Strategist, please."

"Please."

"If the military advisor doesn't return late at night, won't my sister-in-law have an opinion?" Zixuan asked tentatively, knowing that he shouldn't be alone for too long if he had a wife.

He smiled and said nothing.

In the evening, Zixuan and Kong Ming were talking about medical skills in the house, "Military Master, I think the problem is in the water source. "Oh?" Kong Ming was still gently shaking the feather fan.

"We've checked the water source, and there's nothing wrong with it?" "yes, I just don't feel right." Zixuan was still thinking, but Kong Ming noticed the guqin on the table, "Zixuan, do you remember the first time you played a tune for me?" ”

"Yes, "Autumn Wind Speech". "Then play another song for me today." "No, the military division should play it to me."

Listening to this, a trace of serenity appeared on Zixuan's face, and after that, Kong Ming said goodbye to Zixuan, "It's getting late, Kong Ming will leave first." ”

"Slow down." After sending Kong Ming away, Zixuan stroked the piano and played music, but he couldn't, how could Zixuan be willing to Kong Ming to assist Liu Bei, there was no way, he was invited back by Liu Bei Sangu Maolu, and the treatment was very good, how could he turn his back on Liu Bei, it was impossible to subdue Wolong, but who else could compete with Wolong?

Zixuan was irritable and couldn't sleep at night.

In the early morning, the breeze was blowing, with a hint of coolness, Zixuan came to the epidemic area very early, Zixuan carefully examined the patients this time, and found that they all had more or less traces of being bitten by animals, which were rats, so to speak, this is the plague, Zixuan went to find the military division, "Military division, Zixuan preliminarily concluded that this is the plague." ”

"The plague?"

"Yes, they have all been bitten, I went to the granary to check again, it has rained a little in recent days, the granary is leaking, and the military food is moldy, I'm afraid this is the reason." Kong Ming investigated again, and it was indeed as Zixuan said.

Kong Ming reported this to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei called the supervisor who was in charge of the granary, and then called the general, and in front of the two, he said: "Grain officer, dereliction of duty, caused hundreds of soldiers of our army to fall ill, dozens of soldiers died of illness, the crime is too great, behead the public, warn everyone." ”

This is out of Zixuan's expectations, Liu Bei is the lord of benevolence and righteousness, but he killed people because of this... "Uncle Huang, is this an excessive punishment? He is not guilty to death, and he hopes that Uncle Huang will open the net. ”

Liu Bei said: "Zixuan, don't plead, I have made up my mind, don't say more." Zixuan pinned his hopeful gaze on Kong Ming's body and looked at him,

Kong Ming just closed his eyes and shook the feather fan gently, and after the execution, Zixuan walked out, not feeling good in his heart, Kong Ming also chased out, "Zixuan, Zixuan." Kong Ming kept shouting, "Oh, the military advisor, I'm thinking about something, I didn't hear it, I hope the military advisor forgives me, is there something the military advisor told me to do?" ”

"Are you blaming me?"

"Zixuan doesn't dare, Zixuan just doesn't quite adapt."

Kong Ming explained softly and patiently, "Zixuan, I don't like killing, you know, if you don't punish him well, how can you convince the public?" "Zixuan understands, this is what you call those who achieve great things are not informal." Zixuan left without looking back.

In the evening, Kong Ming took care of everything and came to Zixuan,-- General Ma, the military advisor asked to see him---, at this time, just in time for the two to have dinner, "The military advisor is coming, what will happen?" "Who knows?" Zixuan said disdainfully, "Please come in." ”

"Strategist, rare guest, please take a seat." Meng Qi said, "Ah, it's nothing, I came to Zixuan for something." ”

"Oh, the military advisor must not have eaten, let's eat together,"

After the meal, Zixuan and Kong Ming came to the house and chatted, "Zixuan, are you still angry?" ”

"No, no, how can there be?"

"I'm just here to make sure you don't misunderstand me."

"Zixuan understands that the military advisor is too worried, but Uncle Huang is the lord of benevolence and righteousness, and it is just beyond my expectation that he wants to kill people today, because I am too indecisive."
