"My lord, the national teacher has already left the city."

Under the laurel tree, Cui Shaogong's sword practice followed the sound, he put the sword behind his back, nodded slightly, and motioned for the man to retreat.

He leaned against the tree a little dejectedly, and Chu Dong walked over from a distance with a wine jug, handed him the wine jug, and sat next to Cui Shaogong by the way.

Cui Shaogong glanced at her after taking the wine jug, and asked, "Haven't you been pregnant recently?" It's cold outside, hurry back. ”

Chu Dong ignored his orders, instead hugged his knees and asked unintentionally, "When did the adults start to like the national teacher?" I grew up with adults and never realized it. ”

Cui Shaogong took a sip of wine, and the coolness in his mouth went straight to the bottom of his heart.

"I've liked it for a long time."

I arrived early, and I didn't know when she was a woman.

The first time he met Pei Qi was during the riots in the South.

At that time, the plague was rampant in the south, and although the imperial court distributed relief materials, there was no way to treat the plague, so it could only close several cities in the south and not allow anyone to enter or leave.

The dead were burned directly, and those who were not dead were trapped in the city waiting to die, and everyone was afraid of death, so naturally there was a riot.

The way to deal with this matter is very simple, that is, send the army, and kill the violators.

Coincidentally, this matter fell into the hands of the Cui family.

At that time, Pei Qi had just become a national teacher, and begged outside the Yanlong Hall for a long time, saying that he had a way to solve the riot without hurting anyone, and asked the emperor to give her a chance.

Maybe the emperor lived up to her wishes, or maybe the emperor was moved by her dedication to the people, so he agreed to let her go to the south with the army.

It's just that before leaving, the emperor summoned him and ordered that if Pei Qi still couldn't quell the riot within half a month, the matter would be dealt with as usual.

Pei Qi didn't know about this.

On the way to the south, they should have ridden war horses, rode horses and whips, and neatly completed the things ordered by the first emperor and then returned to the palace to resume their lives, but because of Pei Qi's joining, there was an extra carriage that dragged people back, and even the subordinates who had always been well-trained couldn't help but complain again and again.

He was the same.

Pei Qi was small and coughed at every turn, perhaps because of the poison that did not see the sky, but he didn't know it at that time, he only felt that as a man, how could he be so unable to withstand the wind and waves? It's ridiculous.

In addition, she would poke her head out of the car and shout to stop after walking for a few hours, and she needed to rest for a while, which made him even more troublesome.

Maybe it was because he was young and vigorous at the time, or maybe he was troubled by bad intentions, he wanted Pei Qi to suffer a little.

Once Pei Qi was motion sick and shouted to stop, he ignored it, and drove in person, eager to raise the speed to the highest level to see what a man could be delicate.

But when the carriage stopped, he lifted the curtain, and the inside was already a mess.

And Pei Qi was pale and fell inside, holding the handle in the car, his eyes were moist from excessive retching, and he was half-squinting at him.

weak, but full of anger.

And when he achieved his goal, he naturally smiled happily.

even teased on his lips: "Tut-tut, national teacher, you can't do it after just a few steps?" I guess that the delicate and noble ladies in the imperial capital are stronger than you, right? ”

"Do you want the official to help you comb your hair in a bun, and from now on, you will be a woman, ah?"

"Hahahaha......"

He remembered the scene very well, his teasing, the echo of his subordinates, and the crowd gathered around the carriage, all watching her joke.

But just when he thought that Pei Qi would shrink in the corner with low self-esteem, she held both sides of the carriage, stood up from the carriage tremblingly, and walked to him with unsteady steps.

In the next second, he grabbed his collar, and his red eyes were full of stubbornness.

"I began to think that a person as noble and brave as Mrs. Cui would definitely not be worse off than his son, but today, I found that I was wrong."

"You are indeed extraordinary, you are a rare general, but you can bully the weak with your subordinates, what is the difference between you and those ruffians and hooligans? If today's events were to be spread, perhaps I would have been ridiculed as you wished, but how could you not be spurned by others? ”

"If you think I'm slowing down the process, you can ride your horse and go first, even if you don't have you, even if you use climbing, I will climb to the south!"

She was white and weak at the time, and although those words were fierce, they had no deterrent effect.

But the people in the army couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.

Including him, too.

The saying that a rabbit bites people even when he is in a hurry, he also realized it at that time.

In the days that followed, although they still disliked Pei Qi, they didn't dare to do anything excessive.

After arriving in the south, the riots there were already difficult to stop, and it was originally deterred by force, and killing dishonest people was the fastest solution, but Pei Qi refused to let him go, and he was determined to do something to appease the people, and let his arrogant subordinates follow her to comfort her.

He thought, anyway, the emperor only gave him half a month, as long as the half-month period is up, how to deal with this group of rioters, doesn't it still have to be his say?

But half a month later, when he led his troops to besiege the city, Pei Qi stood in front of the group of people and refused to back down at all.

What else to say: "If you want to move them, kill me, the national teacher, first." ”

He was immediately laughed at angrily, and scolded several times for saying things like sick and stupid, but he really couldn't do anything about her, because even if there was a half-moon period set by the first emperor, he couldn't just kill a court official.

Therefore, he could only compromise temporarily and send a message back to the imperial capital to ask the emperor to decide.

Maybe it was because of such a disturbance that this group of rioting people knew that he would really kill them, and they also knew that only Pei Qi was protecting them, so during the period of waiting for the emperor to reply, this group of people was inexplicably honest.

The riots gradually subsided.

Therefore, the task assigned to him by the emperor to solve the riot was completed so outrageously.

Then the next step is to set off for the imperial capital.

But the troubled Pei Qi prefers to stay to solve this plague.

He pondered, this national teacher doesn't know medical skills, and second, he doesn't know immortal arts, what can she solve if she stays here? It's just brain-dead.

But he had also heard of the praise of the national teacher in the court who had solved many problems soon after his appointment, and although he had never set foot in the court, he had heard of it.

I also had the idea of "let's see what she can do".

And so on for a month.

During this period, he saw Pei Qi rummaging through all the books about the plague day and night, and finally found clues of this plague in the history books of Cangqi Kingdom, and knew that there was a doctor in the rivers and lakes who knew how to treat this plague, but this doctor had long since disappeared.

Thanks to Jiang Lingfeng being her best friend, she mixed well in the rivers and lakes, and finally found this doctor with great effort, and there was hope for this plague.

And he also inadvertently saw Pei Qi's despondent and miserable state of not seeing the poisonous hair, curling up in a ball to endure the pain, swallowing his voice and holding back tears.

I also understood why her body was so weak.

She thought that she would soon be able to return to the imperial capital after the plague was resolved, so she only took two pills with her when she left.

But that's not enough.
