In a county palace newly built by Gu Xuan in Huangsha County, a separate courtyard was circled behind the mansion, except for a limited number of people, no one could enter and exit freely, in order to prevent outsiders with bad intentions or simply taking the wrong path from rashly intruding here, Gu Xuan also specially arranged three teams of soldiers to parade in shifts to ensure that there were people on duty here at all times.

The wall of the courtyard is not very high, with white walls and green tiles, green plants and gravel, just like being in a small courtyard in Jiangzhou, obviously the workers have put in a lot of effort.

But the strange thing is that such a delicately shaped courtyard turned out to be the most crude specifications, pushing open the courtyard door is the front yard, and going forward is the wing, it is said that in this mansion prepared for the king of a country, there should not have been such a simple courtyard.

Stretched out his hand and pushed open the wooden door, into the yard, the corner is planted in this kind of border hard to see the green plants, thousands of gray and yellow inside a little green, pleasing to the eye, the bottom is paved with black gravel, it looks like a single scene, it is said that there should be a water tank in the front yard, but because the air here is too heavy, even if the lid is covered, it is easy to be stained with dust, so it is not arranged.

Further on, is the main house of the courtyard, push open the carved double phoenix ring head pattern, painted red lacquer gate, inside, the first is a somewhat simple living room, in addition to a complete set of well-made tables and chairs, there is also a set of glazed tea sets that ordinary people have, other decorations, few pitiful, even the most ordinary, used to suppress feng shui gas gathering large vase is not one.

After the hall to the right, there is a round of round as the bright moon door frame, but it is not an ordinary door, but a curtain made of small beads, and then the bead curtain is opened, and a shelf bed made of rosewood that is very beneficial to sleep is placed inside, resulting in this reassuring aroma in the whole room, this bed is estimated to be the most valuable thing in the whole room.

There is a white silk tent hanging on the bed, which is used to isolate the inside and outside, and through the tent, a person can be vaguely seen lying inside, which is Han Ruying, who once fell into the hands of Ashina, was tortured, and was rescued by Gu Xuan.

On the side of the bed, an old doctor, who looked to be over the age of six, and whose skin was wrinkled with extremely obvious wrinkles, was trying to lift a bloodless jade hand out of the bed, and then placed it on the silk-faced cushion, and the other hand carefully turned it over, grasping the cut pulse, and his face showed a concentrated and serious expression, and he devoted himself to it.

At this moment, Gu Xuan was standing outside the curtain, with his hands behind his back, concentrating on the work of the guard.

After a while, the old man had just packed up and walked out, and Gu Xuan, who heard the voice, came back to his senses from the thoughts just now, turned his head, his face was full of anxiety, and hurriedly asked, "Old man, how is the situation?"

When the old doctor saw it, he was startled, where did he dare to accept the gift of a prince, he hurriedly bowed down, but was supported by Gu Xuan.

The old man didn't insist, let alone delay, and immediately replied: "Hey, Miss Han's injuries on her body, after using the old medicine, are almost healed, just need to recuperate for a while to ensure that there are no future troubles." ”

Gu Xuan's mind was clear, and he didn't understand what he meant, this was deliberately showing his merits, so as to avoid being killed by him in a fit of anger because of his ineffective treatment.

I can't imagine that I have always put justice first, and I once refuted the decree of Jing Zhaoyin's government on the street for an old lady I didn't know, but today, I would give people such a brutal feeling.

In this regard, Gu Xuan did not explain, only said with a wry smile: "The old gentleman's ability, I naturally believe it, just teach the old gentleman to know, no matter what, I am extremely grateful to the old gentleman for your willingness to heal, all say that the doctor's parents' heart, you hang the pot to help the world, save people's lives, there will be a reward in the future, as long as you say the same thing in the future, Xuan will definitely help each other, with today's kindness, say this, I just ask you to relax, even if the final result is not good, in the next guarantee, I will never blame you." ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately patted his ass and said: "The prince is benevolent and righteous, and the little old man will remember it in his heart, and he will recite it from generation to generation in the future, so that the world will know that the prince is your noble and bright festival!"

Hmph, it's nice to say, these officials, which one doesn't like to talk about a set behind the back, they are a common people, and they have to be knocked two taels of money when they are in front of them on weekdays, if you really believe it, then there is a ghost, not to mention that you are missing an eye at this young age, even if you are not a vicious species, you should be a belligerent and impulsive character, if this girl really has an accident in her hands, I am afraid that the lives of Xiao Lao'er's family will not be guaranteed.

If it weren't for that, how could the old people go to this dangerous place to practice medicine and save people at such an age?

Isn't it because you know that your arms can't twist your thighs?

On weekdays, these big officials are all high-flying, unstoppable, and regard human life as a mustard, not to mention the recent chaos, if the news of the sudden death of their family comes out, I am afraid that they will not even be able to splash a drop of decent water.

"In fact, in the final analysis, Miss Han's biggest problem is still here. The old man pointed to his heart and said in a deep voice, "What she suffered was too cruel for ordinary people to bear, so although the injuries on her body were healed, her heart has been closed, so now she is as unconscious as the walking dead, this actually depends on you, accompany her more every day, and one day open her heart, so that she can really heal!"

When Gu Xuan heard this, he was helpless, he understood that Han Ruying needed him now, and he could even say that he felt guilty about Han Ruying in his heart for the rest of his life.

He obviously owes their grandfather and grandson a life, if it weren't for the girl's insistence on saving herself, she was afraid that her body would have rotted in Yannan Mountain, but when she met again, she saw that her former benefactor had fallen to that point, but he took that step back because of his own interests, and this step made him feel uneasy in his conscience for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that the subordinates who killed Ashina and diehard him were killed too quickly, Gu Xuan forgot to interrogate the other party, about the whereabouts of the old man Han Wei, according to his conjecture, maybe the grandfather and grandson went out of the mountain to collect medicine as in the past, and met people from the goshawk tribe, and forcibly captured them back.

Thinking about it like this, the old man Han Wei estimated that he was already more than lucky.

In fact, I have asked privately here before, but the goshawk tribe is a big tribe with good strength, and there are a lot of people and slaves taken away from the border countries every year, who would remember this thing, so after asking for a long time, I didn't ask why, so I just gave up.

In the final analysis, in fact, it was only because he trusted the girl who was far away in Qilian City and should have been considered an enemy now, the eldest lady of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Nanli.

Thinking of this, it is another unreasonable emotional debt, she once saved her life from the horse bandits, and then the other party saved her life in Qilian City, according to this relationship, even if it can't go further, at least, it should be a good friend who can make friends, but now。。。。。。

Alas, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, when you think of this, Gu Xuan feels a headache.

In the end, it was the old doctor who was interested, and seeing that Gu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something, he was stunned, and he hurriedly arched his hand first and shouted softly: "Lord Wang, since the matter is over, the little old man will retreat." ”

Gu Xuan suddenly woke up from his memories, and hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Then thank you, old man." ”

"Where is the prince, it is the honor of the little old man to serve the prince. ”

The old man said the kind words he was talking about, and with small steps, he retreated backwards, until he reached the door, went out, closed the two carved phoenix gates for him, and then left in a hurry.

Gu Xuan looked at the door that was gradually closing, his brows tightened, and he didn't immediately go into the room to check on Han Ruying's specific situation, but sat down in the hall, staring at the ground without saying a word.

------------------------------

The north and south gates of Huangsha County, due to the recent emergency of the surrounding war, in order to protect themselves, and the merchants from all over the country have not dared to run here anymore, so there is no need to open them all day, so Huangsha County has closed the city gates early.

These days, there are occasional refugees from Yanzhou, dragging their families to run, the soldiers at the gate of the city see it, if there are few people, and there is no possibility of ambush, they will let it in, first carefully search the body, and then carefully check the household registration documents, until they are completely sure that there is no problem, they will put it into the city, if there is a link that does not pass, either they will be thrown into the newly built refugee camp in the south of the city to stay, or they will not allow the other party to enter at all.

On the other hand, a Xiongcheng with a plaque of the Garokhan has also been basically completed, but the building inside is still being built, and these craftsmen who came from afar are also because of the war, and now they can't run if they want to, without the next order and protection of the imperial court, they would rather stay in the city built by their own hands, after all, this city is seen with their own eyes, repaired by themselves, and has not cut corners, and the degree of solidity can be counted in their hearts.

In fact, Huangsha County is already a very dangerous place in terms of location on the map, after all, it is located between Yanzhou, where the war is burning, and Youzhou, which has already burst into flames.

But after discussion, Gu Xuan and the others unanimously agreed that no matter which side of the army was, it was impossible for them to come here to waste time, because there was no difference between the broken city of Huangsha County and whether the city was broken or not.

To put it bluntly, it is a waste of time and energy to kill them, it is meaningless at all, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In order to quickly defeat the Yanzhou garrison and march into Liangzhou, they are not willing to disperse even a little excess strength, but for the safety of the rear supply line, Hu Yanshi still arranged a lot of people to ambush here, fortunately, Huangsha County seems to have made up their minds, no matter how tragic this battle is, they will not shoot, which also avoids falling into Hu Yanshi's trap and the possibility of losing troops.

During this period, there were also people from the three major tribes who came, but looking at the two cities in front of him that seemed to be twin stars, after scolding a few words, they rode directly back home.

Under no circumstances can hatred alone sustain an all-out war.

Just for revenge, they spent the family money they had accumulated with great difficulty to fight to the death with others, and it was impossible for a tribe with this kind of temperament to develop to the scale of the three major tribes.

If you want to become big and stand out, you must naturally learn to endure and develop silently, and simple plundering will not be able to feed so many people in the tribe at all.

In short, it is because of these strange reasons, Huangsha County is obviously like a lonely boat on the ocean from the map, but it can be surrounded by lightning and thunder, the waves rise and fall, and the sea beasts set off monstrous waves to beat, but it can stand, obviously the location is in the middle of the surrounding forces, but for the time being, it seems that no one is willing to risk biting this stinky stone.

Even if it is a hedgehog, although the thorns of the whole body pierce the mouth, at least there are two taels of meat to swallow, but to swallow the hard stone in the wilderness, it is really thankless, and if you don't get it, you may have to lose your teeth.

Huangsha County has maintained a kind of apparent calm, and in this stormy place, it seems to be extremely special.

-----------------------------

In the distance, from the southwest, suddenly two horsemen on horseback approached quickly.

These two people are none other than Lan Yunxuan and Baihu Lu Dengyun, who have just run out of the Tiger Ben Army garrison.

Lu Dengyun rode on the horse, and while riding forward, he couldn't help but ask the other party: "Mr. Lan, what is the matter with the general? It's just that I came alone, why did you even come?"

He really doesn't understand, if he just wants to deliver the letter, then it would be good to let himself who has been here twice run again, Mr. Lan is a civilian, not to mention that he has never liked the prince, why do you have to do this kind of hard work in person now?

Lan Yunxuan looked back from time to time along the way, and seeing that no one was chasing him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and did not answer immediately, but comforted: "You will know when you arrive." ”

Where could he tell the real reason why the general asked the two of them to come here, if he said so, with Lu Dengyun's temperament, he would inevitably run back to find that man desperately.

Something has happened to the general, and he must not let the last hope of the Tiger Ben Army go to his death!

But if you go to the capital to report the news, Youzhou is full of the eyes of the Xu family, if the general really has the opposite intention, the two of them will run from Youzhou, and they will probably be caught in less than three days, so the only hope now is to come here to hide.

Huangsha County, sitting here, after all, is His Majesty's own son, even if he is squeezed out and is not a powerful prince, but at least he is a relative of the emperor, as long as Xu Jintang doesn't really want to rebel, does he still want to attack a county king who is personally crowned by the imperial court?

What's more, it's time like this, the so-called gentleman doesn't erect a dangerous wall, you are a prince whose life is more expensive than gold, and he is not ready to retreat to the capital, and he still stays here, if it is not for any reason that he can't go back, then he must have something to rely on, which can just become a life-saving talisman for the two of them!
