Chapter 8 Saving Lives
Lu Gu and the three of them quickly found an inn, and hurriedly recruited Lang Zhong from the nearby medical hall to see the young man.
Rao is old man is accustomed to seeing all kinds of diseases, and he was also shocked by the young man's sad and bloody wounds, he trembled and pulled up a piece of gauze, and while carefully treating the young man's wounds, he wondered, "How did you get this?" If you fight again, you'll die. I had to exert myself a little harder, and I cried out loud in pain. ”
Lang Zhong applied the ointment to his fingers, and pressed down slightly on his fingertips, and the white gauze was soon soaked in bright red, and the red also had a black and purple color, but the young man only snorted.
"This kid is so strong!" Lang Zhong nodded, with respect in his eyes, "You apply this medicine three times a day, and it is evenly applied." The wound should be fine if it is scarred. ”
Lu Gu nodded, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his cuffs, handed them to Lang Zhong, and thanked him.
"It's okay, it's okay." Lang Zhong waved his hand, let out a long sigh, and the figure walking out with the burden was a little vicissitudes, "Alas... Today's Yan Dynasty is in chaos! ”
Lu Gu leaned down and asked the young man in a low voice, "Are you better?" ”
The boy nodded very lightly.
Lu Gu covered the young man with a futon, and wanted to pull Xie Qingyan away so that he could have a good rest.
"Hmm—" The boy's throat moved slightly, and he spat out a monosyllable, apparently trying to say something.
Lu Gu hurriedly sat back, lowered his head and leaned in front of the young man, wanting to make it easier for him to speak.
The young man touched his dry mouth with difficulty, and only after a while did he stumble out a few words that were out of tune, and his voice was hoarse, "Please help... He is resting! ”
"General He?" Lu Gu looked at the young man suspiciously,
"What's wrong with him?"
The young man licked his chipped lips and said in a difficult voice, "Kill it"
Lu Gu froze, stood up suddenly, and the large movement caused her center of gravity to slip, and she almost fell to the ground, and was held by a hand from her back.
By the time Lu Gu stabilized his figure, Xie Qingyan had already withdrawn his hand.
"Don't ask him, he'll die if you ask again." Xie Qingyan's index finger tapped on the table, and his delicate jaw was slightly raised, as if he was waiting for something.
Lu Gu thought about it, ignored him, and handed the young man a glass of water, "You have a good rest first, I will never let General He die in vain." With that, she walked out of the inn.
"Where are you going?" Xie Qingyan's raised jaw stiffened unnaturally.
Lu Gutou didn't reply, "Catch someone and ask clearly." "You—" Xie Qingyan said dryly, "You can ask me."
Lu Gu, who walked to the door, suddenly stopped, she raised her eyebrows and looked back in surprise, "You know? ”
"Hmm."
"You know everything?"
Xie Qingyan's voice was cold, and he replied to her very reluctantly,
"Hmm."
Lu Gu squinted his eyes at Xie Qingyan, his face under the hat was not clear, but his eyes were shining, and the black-clothed outfit outlined his good lines with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his body was straight. But this tall figure fell in Lu Gu's eyes, but it made her feel that something was wrong. She raised her eyebrows quietly, why did this person straighten his waist so straight? Live like a puppy who does the right thing and shows credit to his master.
But Lu Gu still didn't dare to say this, she nodded, walked over and sat in front of Xie Qingyan.
Xie Qingyan sat down, but he didn't make a sound, but calmly held the kettle and poured himself a cup of tea, slightly lifted the tulle in front of him, and blew lightly on the mouth of the tea cup as if he knew how to know the tea ceremony, the tea sank, and the amber clear tea appeared. The elegance of the gangsters has done a lot of work.
He took a sip, and when he looked up, the tulle hung down, and he looked at Lu Gu.
The two looked at each other for half a pillar of incense, but Xie Qingyan still didn't speak......
The green tendons in front of Lu Gu's forehead trembled, and in order not to disturb the resting teenager, she tried her best to ask in a calm voice, "Do you know?" ”
Xie Qingyan nodded, still staring at Lu Gu.
"Then you say!"
"Shouldn't you tell me, young man, please speak?" Xie Qingyan didn't seem to understand, and Lu Gu asked in surprise.
"Okay. It was my fault. Lu Gu smiled gently, his hand shook, and he crushed a porcelain cup, his voice was a little distorted, "Please speak"
"Well, you forgot to mention Shaoxia." Xie Qingyan paused, seeing Lu Gu's hideous expression, he took the topic back on track before she became angry, "Back then, General He repelled the Northwest Army with only 3,000 stragglers, and he had great merits. When he returned to the court, the lord of the country did reward him with a lot of things, but at the same time he gave General He a quiet official, in other words, he did not let General He control the military power. ”
Lu Gu didn't know about this matter, she couldn't help but frown and interrupted Xie Qingyan, "Wait, why did the Lord of the Yan Kingdom do this?" If it is said that he is small and does not want General He to threaten his throne, this is a bit inexplicable! General He doesn't have many soldiers on his hands, so wouldn't it be okay if he wasn't promoted? ”
"I don't know." Xie Qingyan glanced at Lu Gu and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. Lu Gu felt that his gaze seemed to be a little resentful, but he didn't think much about it, and continued to listen carefully, "A few years later, the northwest came to harass again, and the lord of the Yan country used General He again. As a result of that battle, although the northwest retreated, the Yan State did not win, and the tens of thousands of troops only survived more than a hundred people. ”
"General He is defeated?"
"Perhaps. But that battle was really strange. It is said that Yan was ambushed, and the northwest did not lose many people, but they retreated. After General He returned to the court, the lord of the country was furious, and the court reprimanded him and demoted him to a commoner. ”
Lu Gu sneered, "The rod is also blamed, and the debasement is also degraded, I don't know what kind of demon this country lord is doing this time?" But General He, I will definitely save it! ”
Listening to such rebellious words, Xie Qingyan just blinked, got up and walked to the window, looking out of the inn.
Amano is as dark as ink, the stars and the moon are hidden, and the few rays of light in the dark night come from the houses. The wind north of Jingnan Pass advanced in the city with a terrible chill, and Yuzhang City at night was silently desolate.
The candle flame on the table was still burning, and the cold wind pouring in from the window dimmed the fire, Lu Gu shivered, and trembled to leave. When she was leaving, she saw Xie Qingyan standing in front of the window in thin clothes, and she couldn't help reminding, "After a day's journey, let's rest." ”
Xie Qingyan bowed, still standing in front of the window with his hands on his back, half of his face hidden in the firelight, gilding his hat with a layer of gold, but there was no light in his black pupils.
