51 inference
Ding Guoguo and a few people came for five days, and that day King Xiang'an Le did not lead the army to set fire to the mountain, let alone come to the vast mountain to call for battle, which gave her time to prepare.
In order to confirm what she thought in her heart, she spent the past five days immersed herself in the research and development of medicinal materials. According to some of the poisoning symptoms told to her by the imperial doctor of the army and the information she had learned from her own pulse diagnosis, she boldly deduced that the poisons used by the Tianxiang army were all developed by Zishu.
As far as she knew, when Zishu was working as a royal doctor in the palace, she did not accept apprentices. Later, because he was afraid of being known, he forgot his worries and had a solution, so he returned to his hometown in advance. After returning to his hometown, he was worried that he would be coerced and used by some unscrupulous people, so he kept his name incognito, and never accepted apprentices.
When she set fire to Zijia Villa, she didn't confirm whether there was any living mouth. One is because she was seriously injured at the time, and the other is that she was so frightened and frightened that her mind was so confused that she didn't have the heart to check it at all. What's more, with Dongfang Huoyan's martial arts, how could he miss a person who couldn't kill anyone who didn't know any martial arts?
Judging from the poison used by the Tianxiang army, it is indeed like Zishu's method. Apart from him, who else in this world can have such superb poison skills?
Of course, these are only her inferences, and she does not dare to make conclusions without evidence. So when Dongfang Huoyan asked her, she didn't say.
"Master."
She was bowing her head and pondering, when Ding Ning came in carrying a bag of medicinal herbs.
"Yes." She answered and asked him to put the herbs on the table.
Ding Ning put down the medicinal herbs, stood on the table, looked at her, hesitated to speak, but didn't dare to speak.
She looked up at him and asked softly, "Got something to say?" β
"Yes." Ding Ning nodded, "Master, you didn't often talk about the heart of the doctor's parents before, but how are you now... He pursed his lips and swallowed the words that followed.
Hearing his words, Ding Guoguo smiled slightly, stood up and flicked away the crumbs of medicinal herbs on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "What a word about the heart of a doctor's parents, you have become a doctor who can stand alone!" β
Ding Ning blushed and smiled a little embarrassed.
Ding Guoguo smiled and returned to his place, leaned over and grabbed a handful of medicinal herbs from the pocket he had just carried and put them on the table, before turning his head to look at him again and answering his question.
"Ning'er, war is stupid in the first place. I can't stop the war, but I can reduce the death toll. If you can make the Tianxiang army jealous and choose to retreat, wouldn't it be better? β
Ding Ning lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded, "What the master said makes sense, but I thought about things too simply. β
"What are you two talking about?"
At this time, Dongfang Huoyan walked in from outside the tent.
Ding Guoguo smiled and said, "It's nothing." β
Ding Ning saw him, bent down and saluted, and walked away.
Dongfang Huoyan stood next to her and asked, "It's all about the same, right?" β
Ding Guoguo nodded and asked him, "What about you?" β
"It's all arranged, just wait for your side to get ready, and you can go."
Ding Guoguo nodded and continued with the matter at hand.
Dongfang Huoyan moved a chair, sat next to her, stretched his legs, and looked at her leisurely.
Unable to stand his attention, Ding Guoguo turned his head to look at him and began to drive people away.
"Do you have nothing to do?"
Dongfang Huoyan grinned, "No." β
"Okay." Ding Guoguo had no choice but to let him. After a while, she suddenly remembered the rumor she heard in the Border Inn, she turned her head to look at him with a smile, and asked, "I heard that it was because you took the princess of King Anle of Tianxiang, so King Anle raised an army, is this true?" β
Dongfang Huoyan snorted and said disdainfully, "Do you believe this kind of nonsense?" β
Ding Guoguo smiled slightly, "I just asked if I didn't believe it." Tell me what's going on. β
Dongfang Huoyan gritted his teeth and snorted coldly angrily, "Hmph! It's not Nangong Li's villain, who wants to trap me in the eyes of the public! β
Villain?
Ding Guoguo smiled, knowing that although he was a man who did his own thing, he was upright and bright, and he hated being a sinister person the most in his life. She was about to ask what was going on, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a soldier outside the tent looking into the tent, so she changed her tone and said, "Someone is looking for you." β
Hearing this, Dongfang Huoyan raised his eyes to look at the tent door, frowned and shouted, "What's the matter, how sneaky!" β
"Back to Your Highness, Concubine Rou is here."
When the soldier saw that he had been found, he went to the center of the tent and returned on one knee.
Dongfang Huoyan frowned and furrowed, and when he turned his head to look at Ding Guoguo, he changed to a smiling face, and he said with a smile, "I'll take a look and come back soon." After speaking, without waiting for her to answer, he got up and walked out of the big tent.
In fact, there were only 300,000 troops stationed in the Vast Mountain, and there were still 300,000 people stationed in a small town more than forty miles behind the Vast Mountain. The Emperor of the Wind Country and the royal family, as well as civil officials and several military attachΓ©s, temporarily lived there.
The troops stationed in the vast mountains basically relied on people to transport them from the rear on weekdays.
In this extraordinary period, Zeng Rou behaved like a mother of a country, and often organized female dependents to send various daily necessities from the rear. Dongfang Huoyan can marry such a virtuous helper, it is really his blessing.
"Sister."
Ding Guoguo was distracted, Zeng Rou suddenly came in from outside the tent, holding a tray in her hand.
"Sister rest for a while and drink a bowl of herbal tea."
Zeng Rou walked to the table and placed a bowl of grass tea on the tray in front of her.
"I'm tired." Ding Guoguo raised his eyes to look at her, smiled and thanked her politely.
Zeng Rou smiled slightly and didn't make a sound.
Ding Guoguo picked up the tea bowl and was about to drink it, but she spoke again.
"I heard that my sister was seriously injured last time and vomited blood, I wonder if she is better now?"
"I'm thinking about you, it's much better." After Ding Guoguo finished speaking, he glanced at her and drank tea.
Zeng Rou lowered her head and muttered back, "That's good." β
Ding Guoguo drank a bowl of tea in one gulp and handed the bowl to her.
Zeng Rou stretched out her hand to take it, stood for a while, and then bowed her head and retreated.
Looking at her somewhat lonely back, Ding Guoguo sighed and shook his head.
The next day, Dongfang Huoyan took 100,000 people out of the vast mountain and went to Shanggu City, where Tianxiang's army was stationed, and called for battle outside the city gate.
Ding Guoguo and Langka also came.
Dongfang Huoyan originally disagreed with her coming, but she insisted on coming, and he had no choice but to agree.
This is the first time that she, a modern person, has faced the war of the cold weapon era.
Ding Guoguo stood on his horse, watching the gate of Shanggu City slowly open, and a general wearing gray armor and holding a long knife in his hand rode out of the gate.
Behind him, the soldiers came out of the city gates in two groups.
With a bang, the general stuck the long knife in his hand on the ground, clasped his hands to his chest, looked at Dongfang Huoyan with a smile, and said provocatively, "If your subordinates are defeated, they dare to come and call for battle!" β
Dongfang Huoyan smiled slightly, and raised his voice, "It's not certain who loses and who wins, you don't have to be complacent too early!" With that, he turned to look at Langka and nodded slightly.
Langka understood, pulled out the broadsword hanging from his waist, and beat the horse out of the queue.
"Big brother!" Ding Guoguo called in a low voice, and when he turned to look at her, she advised, "Be careful, don't fight hard." β
Lang Ka laughed loudly, "You can see it!" β
