The elder said: "Dare to teach the noble price to know that your lord has made great contributions in the army, and he will be rewarded sooner or later." The expensive price still needs to be good at nourishing the noble body, and it has its own blessings! ”

The white-haired old man's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "My lord has made meritorious service? Why? How did the elders know? Is there a battle report? ”

The elder smiled and said, "The noble price is really loyal to the lord's family, and after listening to the master's family's merits, his spirit has also improved for the most part. So that the noble price learned that there was a military envoy to the city to beg for water and food, and after chatting, when it came to the peace of your lord Zheng's family, the military envoy said: His people have made great contributions, and when the war is over, there will be a reward. What is the credit of Rudao? A great credit to the sky! Saved Xinlingjun! You have done this great thing! It's a big deal. ”

The old man lowered his eyebrows, wiped his eyes with his hands, and said: "My lord has been supported by his ministers since he was a child, and he never leaves day and night, and everyone knows this lover!" After a decade of separation, the main family was in decline, and all the concubines in the family were dispatched. The ministers are old and sick, unbearable, and the crippled body is difficult to send. Wei Si Gongzi, a porridge and a meal, I am still alive. I don't mean that the son thinks of the old love and treats each other like guests. The minister is incompetent, and he can't assist the left and right, but he just thinks about it! Today, the elders have good news, can they not be happy......" said straight to tears.

The elder hurriedly comforted: "The Zheng family is benevolent and righteous, and I know everything, and there will be no loss." But thou shalt worry less about peace, and thou shalt have a blessing for the future. ”

The old man wept and said: "I dare to ask for blessings, but I have to get my crippled body, and I will benefit a lot!" Our lord protects the letter of Lingjun and has merit, and this will be a great battle, and he will make meritorious contributions in front of the two armies! Is Xinling Jun returned? ”

The elder said: "I haven't heard of the confrontation between the two armies recently, and I don't know its victory or defeat, Xinling Jun should be outside the city and has not returned to the country. Wuyi Ding Zhuang is still in the army, and there is no return for injury. When there is no big war. ”

The old man counted his fingers and said, "It has been five or six days since my lord left home. Guiyi has the same number of soldiers, and the grain is also prepared? ”

The elder said: "The limit is ten days in the city, and the sixth day is today. If the war is delayed, or two or three days later, there will be military envoys urging food. ”

The old man said: "The old minister is ridiculous, he only prepares five days' rations, and now I am afraid that it will be broken!" If the Guiyi army arrives, please drive in vain, and the ministers will prepare food for the Lord. ”

The elder said, "Oh! The Zheng family has great merit to protect the lord, and the benevolence and righteousness of Xinling Jun are spread in the world, and there will be no loss! Expensive but reassuring. But if there is a military report, it will be reported. ”

The two stood on both sides of the fence and chatted for a long time. The elders were very interested and talked with great interest; The white-haired old man stood under the fence and whispered back, which from time to time drew the old man's laughter. The elder told him that there had been no movement of men and horses except for a convoy that had left the avenue this morning. But the driving was not interrupted, several times a day. But this morning, in addition to the brigade going west, there are a few horsemen going west, thinking that the war in the west will start. Talking about the sunset in the west, the elder Fang said: "The sun is over, the cold wind is gradually rising, and the price is expensive, and I go home to eat." If your lord is rewarded, he will never forget it! ”

The old man said: "Although I don't dare to speak on behalf of the Lord, I know the heart of the Lord." Guiyi knows and loves each other, how dare not be innocent, and repay a little in case! The elder departed. The old man stood under the fence with a cane for a long time, as if watching the elder reach the house in front of the city, and then staggered back. But instead of going back to his room, he went around to the back and sat down by the back door.

After a while, a strong soldier came over and stood in front of the fence. The old man handed over a jar of water from the side, and the man took it, took a few sips, sat down, put the pitcher on the ground, and said to the old man, "Something happened to Simon." Dr. Su Jia was robbed before he went out. The robbers disguised themselves as beggars, each armed with a dog-beating stick, only one stick, so that the doorman fell asleep and snatched the door. The soldiers in the city can't close the door in time, and they have left the city! ”

The old man's expression moved slightly, and he asked, "Dare to know who did it?" ”

The martial artist said: "Those who have knowledge recognize that there is a gentleman among them. ”

The old man said: "Weisi people, who is here!" What does the doctor in the Xinling Junmen guest robbery want? …… Does Dr. Zhong have an order to send to Han? ”

The martial artist said: "Yes." Yesterday, the doctor and Wei Xiangshu entered the palace. This morning, Wei Xiang and Dr. Zhong bowed in front of the Daliang Gate, and went straight out of the West Gate with a line of five times. The Taoist canon does not avoid public viewing, which is common. Therefore, there are many people who look out for the girder gate - all of them are driven a mile away. When the west gate was wide open and the doorman opened the way, among the onlookers, some beggars suddenly shot out and stunned the doorman, and the rest of the people supported the car and rushed out of the city. Dr. Zhong was also coerced. He went straight west out of the West Gate, and he was nowhere to be found. ”

The old man said: "Can you send a pawn to track it?" ”

The soldier said: "This is wartime, and the army cannot be transferred without an order. The city closed its gates in a hurry and reported it to the general. The general surveyed at the west gate and had no orders. Therefore no one left the city. In the corner, six horses rode out of the city, trying to track them down - they have not returned. ”

The old man said: "There is a military envoy who reports that Xinlingjun is in danger and was rescued by the Zheng family, what is the situation?" ”

The martial guard said: "I have not heard of this matter in the city, how does Mr. know?" ”

The old man said: "But I heard it in the ears of the military envoys." The matter involves the Zheng family, but please take a closer look. ”

The martial artist said: "Wow! ”

The old man said: "Doctor Zhong sent an envoy to South Korea, and was robbed by Xinling Jun's guests, and Xinling Jun saw that he was in the army, and he could advance or retreat." The DPRK and China will not dare to investigate in detail if they are intimidated by their might; Xinlingjun will also be harmless to the middle doctor. …… Why carjack out of town? Xinlingjun is in urgent need of a large number of doormen to help. It is not difficult for a small number of guests to go out of the city, but it is difficult for hundreds of people to do it, so they are entrusted to the doctor, and the doctor does not allow it, so he has to make this decision and take advantage of the gap to go out of the city. ”

The martial artist said: "What Mr. says, there will be no difference." I will defend myself with this. ”

The old man said, "Is Ximen Wei awake?" ”

The martial guard said: "Ximen Wei has been guarded by the general in Yousi, cut off from inside and outside, I don't know the details." ”

The old man said: "Xinling Jun has the help of hundreds of people, and the situation is a little settled. However, the Qin people can open a military market in Kaifeng, and the plan is not small. The middle doctor made Yu Han, or he could cut off his secret aid. Xinlingjun will be able to help it succeed. ”

Wu Shu said: "In this way, the situation is decided!" ”

The old man said, "Yes." The battle is set for a while, and the battle for the court will start......"

The martial guard said: "This is beyond our knowledge. ”

The old man said: "The court and the grass are one and the other. The struggle for power in the court will be reckless, and there is no immunity. ”

The martial guard said: "What can I do? ”

The old man said: "But it's okay to see the opportunity." Worship Yingwei, the matter entrusted to the Zheng family, fortunately! ”

The martial artist said: "You must do your best." He got up and saluted.

The old man went out, brought the jug in, closed the back door, staggered back to the front, and looked around, but there was no one in the road. Fu carried a larger water tank, went out the back door, followed a faintly visible path, walked out of half a mile, and came to a small hidden ditch, where an underground dark river came out of the ground, and the water was not very strong. The old man struggled to put the jug in his hand, drew out half of the jug, and staggered back again.

Although it was time to eat, it seemed that every house had no cooking smoke, and there was no corn fragrance wafting out of the city, like a dead town. The old man only took out half a bowl of corn porridge from the ding, drank it silently, thinking about what had happened these days, judging the connection between them, and what details needed to be clarified.

Accidentally inhaled deeply, and a sharp pain came from his ribs, causing the old man to hold his breath suddenly. He felt strange that when he heard about Doctor Zhong just now, he didn't have any waves in his heart - all of this was due to Doctor Zhong Su Jia.

"Hey~~!" The old man sighed. He unbuttoned his shirt and looked at the straps on his chest. The activity was more frequent just now, and the strap was a little loose, so the sharp inhalation just now caused a sharp pain. The old man untied his belt, took off all his shirt, and prepared to re-tie the belt. But on the one hand, the strap was not easy to organize, and secondly, the severe pain in the ribs also limited his activities, and he couldn't fix the strap for a long time. He let out a long sigh and was about to give up. At this time, the chai door opened with a "squeak", and a dark shadow appeared at the door. The old man was taken aback and instinctively hid in the shadows. The man in the shadows spoke up: "Zhang Lu, I too." ”

Only then did the old man breathe a sigh of relief and said softly: "Che right, Hu Wei Ruye?" ”

Mr. Che You adapted to the darkness in the room, saw Zhang Lu naked, and whispered, "Healing?" ”

Zhang Lu raised the belt and was not polite: "Help me!" ”

Mr. Che You knelt next to Zhang Lu, and the two cooperated, and sure enough, everything went well, and the straps were tightly tied to the chest, and deep inhalation and big movement would not cause severe pain in the ribs. Zhang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Mr. Che You and said, "The camp is returning, why is there any urgency?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "One, the trip to unseal is very much the strength of my brother, and I dare not thank you." Second, the situation changes several times a day, and I have to ask my brother. ”

Zhang Lu said: "Thank you for being exempt, and ask if you have any doubts." ”

Mr. Che You said: "Although it is in the way with my brother, I would like to say that the doctor must do something." ”

Zhang Lu's expression changed slightly, but his tone remained unchanged: "But it's okay to say." ”

Mr. Che You said: "Brother Rong is detailed. Brother knows the matter of unsealing. The younger brother was incompetent, although he carried the order to open the seal and left the seal, but he was robbed by Xinling Jun. It was agreed in the camp of Xinling Jun, three people in Mangfu: Major General Mangshen, Mr. Xiaojian and his younger brother, two people in Xinling Junfu: Mr. Jin and Mr. Cao Er, and Chen Si, who went to Kaifeng with his younger brother, a total of six people, returned to Daliang together, and agreed with Mangfu to make internal and external harmony and retreat from the Qin army. Xinlingjun led the army straight to Huayang to get food. ”

Zhang Lu suddenly asked, "Hu Wei is going to Huayang?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "The Qin people opened a military market in Qifeng, and this brother knows it. The Koreans went to Kaifeng through Huayang to get grain, and this brother didn't know it. The one who is in charge, the king of Han, Sun Huayang, is also; The one who is in charge, Huayang Wei's retainer Han Bushen. ”

Zhang Lu said: "Who are these two people? ”

Mr. Che You said: "I don't know each other, and I don't have any words, but I heard about Xinlingjun, and he is a talented person." ”

Zhang Lu didn't ask any more, and then went down: "Xinlingjun has been going to Huayang, what do you want to be a general?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "Huayang, Daliang and Han, attack South Korea on three sides, and it is urgent to stop, and many parties will make mistakes, and Qin will be killed." ”

Zhang Lu asked, "Who is calculated?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "Guxin Lingjun's plan is also open. ”

Zhang Lu said: "General Yi is also planning the same way. Those who make Han will also be doctors. ”

Mr. Che You said, "Yes." Although the general did not make it explicit, I also moved when I saw his intentions. entered the palace to do something, and the king sent the doctor to make Han Ye. ”
