The Surgeon's Guide to Survival in the Royal Palace, Section 114
If you are only Prince Flame and I am only your subordinate, I am willing to follow your rules here, and only obey your orders, but I don't want my lover to be like this, we may not be suitable. ”
This sentence was like a bucket of ice water poured on Yan Yunzhou's head, which made him cold from his head to his heart in an instant, and he even didn't dare to think about what Ning Yi meant, and his voice was almost squeezed out of his throat:
"What do you mean we might not be suitable?"
Yan Yunzhou's heart tightened as if he was being grasped by something, and Ning Zhi took a deep breath:
"At the beginning, I said we can give it a try, if it is not suitable we can break up and retreat to their original positions, you can't limit where I can go in the future, you promised me."
The conversation of that day resurfaced in Yan Yunzhou's mind:
"Didn't you say you liked me? We can fall in love and give it a try, and if it doesn't fit we can break up. ”
"Okay, let's give it a try, but it won't be as inappropriate as you say."
The words of that day seemed to be still in his ears, and God knows how happy he was the day Ning Ji nodded.
Ning's voice sounded again:
"I'm not going to leave now, I'll still be in charge of your body in the future, and I'll also be a military doctor in the army, but we'll just have a relationship between patients and doctors in the future."
After Ning Qi finished speaking, he raised his hand to break away from Yan Yunzhou's hand and stood up, he still said it after all, and they were all tired of stretching them like this.
Yan Yunzhou's face turned pale, as if he remembered Ning Yao's look yesterday:
"Yu'an, I promise that I won't force you to do what you don't want to do in the future, you don't like to tell me everything, I won't do it again, don't say what you just said, okay?"
He went to pull Ning Yao's wrist, Ning Qi could feel that his palms were full of clammy coldness, and it was false to say that he was not distressed and didn't care, but would they really have a good result if they went on like this? If it's wrong from the start, it's better to simply stop your loss.
Yan Yunzhou's heart was a little stuffy, coughing upwell, he turned his head sideways, choked and rushed out of his mouth, the position of his heart throbbed obviously, he subconsciously raised his hand and pressed it on the position of his heart, his face was frosty white, and the corners of his forehead were cold sweat.
Ning Yi was also taken aback by his appearance, and his hand immediately touched his heart, and the beating under the palm was fast and irregular, which was a symptom of irregular heartbeat, and the sound of choking and coughing caused his chest to vibrate.
Ning was a little anxious, Yan Yunzhou had suffered cardiac arrest before, and long-term pneumonia would have caused some damage to his heart, and his voice was also a little tight:
"It's uncomfortable, isn't it?"
Yan Yunzhou was also afraid of scaring Ning Jiao, tried his best to calm his breathing, and wanted to suppress the cough, but it had little effect, and the feeling of palpitations became more and more obvious, Ning Zhi felt that his situation could not move without permission, his hand stroked his heart, helped him rub it, and his voice was soft:
"Don't be nervous, take a deep breath, exhale deeply, don't think about it, it's okay."
Yan Yunzhou tried his best to listen to him, and after a long time, the feeling of his heart being pinched slowly subsided, but at the same time, the strength of his body also subsided, and his whole body was a little weak, and he tried his best to laugh:
"It's all right."
With such a smile, a wave of sadness and distress surged into Ning Qi's heart at the same time, making his eyes a little red, every time it seemed to be like this, that time Yan Yunzhou came out of the secret passage and comforted him like this, he was always very tolerant, but he was also afraid that he would be afraid.
The sourness in his eyes made him a little speechless, he just looked up slightly, trying to calm down this burst of emotion, Yan Yunzhou didn't speak anymore:
"Has this ever happened before?"
Yan Yunzhou knew that what he said was the situation in his heart, and shook his head slightly:
"No, don't worry."
"Yu'an, I know you have grievances, we can discuss, you can talk to me directly, but don't separate, okay? At least wait until I get back, okay? ”
Ning Ji snorted, and finally nodded, the big war is coming, anything can happen on the battlefield, he underestimated Yan Yunzhou's care about him, and he didn't want Yan Yunzhou to worry about their relationship on the battlefield:
"Okay, you can go out to fight with peace of mind, it's the autumn of troubled times, and it's not suitable to say that love and love are not suitable for now, wait until the war is over and sort it out, promise me, come back safely, if you are missing arms and legs, don't talk about it anymore, I'll turn around and find a sound one."
Yan Yunzhou finally smiled:
"Okay, I promise you."
Ning Ji took a deep breath, he was not in love, and after calming down his emotions, he asked the right thing:
"Did the Pingzhou attack go well?"
Yan Yunzhou nodded:
"Well, Li Han used to be stationed in Suizhou, not far from Pingzhou, he is familiar with the deployment of military forces in Pingzhou, just now he sent a message back, and Pingzhou City can be occupied before dark."
"And after that? The imperial court will react today, how many soldiers and horses are there? ”
Yan Yunzhou sighed:
"300,000, according to the current number of troops, there is probably this number."
Ning Yao's eyes widened:
"We're only a hundred thousand, that's twice as many people, are you sure?"
Yan Yunzhou leaned back in his chair:
"These 300,000 are pieced together, most of the troops are negligent in training, the battalions are scattered, our action this time is very sudden, it will take time for the people who can lead the troops and horses in the DPRK and China to gather these soldiers and generals, and the people's hearts may not be united, there is still a gap."
Although Yan Yunzhou said so, but with such a huge disparity in strength, Ning Zhi also knew that this battle was not easy to fight.
Yan Yunzhou left in two days, Ning Ji temporarily suppressed the emotional entanglements with Yan Yunzhou in his heart, he went to Qingyang Daoren with Yan Yunzhou, he needed to go to see if he had made anything useful over there.
The Qingyang Daoist was sent to Youzhou by Yan Yunzhou in advance, and he immediately rushed over after seeing Ning Zhi coming:
"I made it, you're right, the gunpowder made according to your proportion, even the power of the explosion is about the same, you see that batch, it's in the yard.
On the way to Youzhou this time, I tried it, and let two horses who knew the way pull the cart of gunpowder, and I put hay between the gunpowder, as well as a broken quilt that I didn't use, you see, is it good? ”
Ning Zhi has named gunpowder for fear of impact before, so there are many ways to absorb shock in reality, and burying gunpowder in the hay is the simplest and most effective way.
Ning Ji looked at the carriage in the yard that looked like a pile of hay from a distance, and also smiled, why didn't he think of this method?
Yan Yunzhou looked at Qingyang Daoren:
"You tidy up here, pack all the gunpowder you can use in your hand like this, and set off the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow? Do I need to follow? ”
The little old man frowned and spoke, he still didn't want to toss, he liked to nest alone in the yard to do his research.
Yan Yunzhou glanced at him:
"You stay in Youzhou."
"The prince, the prince, the king of the county is back."
Yan Yunzhou immediately turned around and walked outside, Li Yan said that it was not a fake, his hair was messy, he was carrying something in his arms, and the clothes on his body were still the clothes of the messenger who had not had time to change them.
Luo Yueli immediately greeted him, and it wasn't until someone appeared in front of him that he really put his heart in his stomach:
Li Yan's face was gray, he had been riding a horse day and night, and his legs were shaking now, but when he saw Luo Yueli leave, he still burst into a reassuring smile:
"Teacher, I'm worried about you."
Luo Yueli pulled Li Yan up and down to see if he was hurt:
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."
When he arrived at the main hall of the mansion, Li Yan took out the holy decree that had been on his chest:
"This is the Queen's decree to me."
Yan Yunzhou took it and looked at it, he was taken by the emperor since he was a child, and no one in the audience knew the handwriting of the emperor better than him, and when he looked at the majestic and vigorous words on the holy decree, he seemed to really see the handwriting of the former emperor:
"The handwriting of the Queen Mother is almost indistinguishable from that of the first emperor, and even Taiwei Su can't recognize this edict."
With Yan Yunzhou's words, Luo Yue has a bottom in the centrifugation:
"With this holy decree, we are not unknown, I have already sorted out the letters of Wei Changqing and Ruoqiang, and I will immediately spread the edict to the world."
On the third day of the fourth month, Li Yan, the king of Jingjun, counted Wei Zhenhe and more than a dozen crimes, and raised troops at the behest of the emperor, and the Qing monarch was on the side.
All of a sudden, the world was in an uproar, and Luo Yueli copied thousands of copies of the correspondence between Wei Changqing and Ruoqiang, as well as the correspondence between Beimu and the Qi people, as well as the news that Wei Zhenhe instructed the household department to seize the military rations in the north and pasted them all over the streets and alleys.
When Ning Yi went out, he saw that even the pro-soldiers in this mansion were carrying paste buckets, holding a lot of stationery in their hands and preparing to go out, this, is this a war of public opinion? Is this a front-page headline printed on it?
I have to say that Luo Yueli's move is really smart, and many ordinary people on Qingjun's side can't understand it.
But in all fairness, although the soldiers in the north obeyed Yan Yunzhou, and the people of Youzhou were also very grateful to Li Yan, after all, no one liked war.
Now that he has just defeated Beimu and the Qian, he has to send troops to the imperial court, and he is facing several times the number of people, and everyone has a little drum in their hearts, but this letter is not the same when it is posted, if it is about the hatred of Beimu and the Qian, no one can compare with the soldiers and people in the north.
Many of their relatives died at their hands, and at this time, they were told that when they were desperate with the Beimu and the Qian, there were people in the imperial court who connected with foreign enemies to treat them to death, and the imperial court repeatedly defaulted on food and wages, which was not a secret in the northern army.
In this way, the hatred of the soldiers in the army towards the imperial court will naturally become more and more intensified, and the people will think of those relatives who have passed away, and they will also be angry with the enemy.
And now they are raising troops at a time when the mood of the military and the people is at their highest, and they will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort.
Ning Qi had already heard the soldiers discussing the contents of the notice when he came out of the wounded barracks:
"Today, the storyteller of Shuitian Teahouse told the story for free, and it was the story of Wei thieves who embezzled food and salaries and colluded with Ruoqiang, and I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't finish listening to it."
"That Mr. Liao from Shuitian Teahouse? He said that the book was so good that I couldn't get enough of it. ”
"Yes, Mr. Liao said, today's righteous talk, that person, crowded, the entire Shuitian teahouse is surrounded, three floors inside and outside, it is impassable, Mr. Liao also said, Yi said no money for ten days."
"Ten days, Mr. Liao is really virtuous."
Ning Ji walked to the main hall, hesitated for a moment and went in, even if he was still a little embarrassed with Yan Yunzhou, but after all, there were some things he still had to say.
As soon as I entered, I saw Luo Yueli carrying a plate from the little guy next to me, with a few ingots of silver in it, and was handing it to another guy, so I heard Luo Yue leave:
"Thank you for me, Mr. Liao, this is a ten-day fixed payment."
Rather... It turns out that Mr. Liao said it like this, and I'm afraid that the manuscript of that righteous lecture was all from Luo Yueli's hand.
This ancient public opinion can be regarded as being understood by Luo Yueli.
Yan Yunzhou looked up when he saw him come in, and he could feel that Ning Jiao was a lot stranger to him now:
"The king of the county, the prince, this is the list of medicines, only a small part of Youzhou remained, and the rest were taken away with the army, several military doctors are now very familiar with the use of these medicines, I handed over the medicines to several military doctors, if it is a division of troops, you can bring a military doctor per team."
Ning Yao's voice was very formulaic, and he handed over a list.
Li Yan took it and looked at Ning Qi and then at Yan Yunzhou, why didn't the atmosphere seem to be right?
Luo Yueli also observed these two people while drinking tea, is this not reconciled yet?
Ning Qi had been in the wounded barracks all afternoon, and when he returned to the courtyard in the evening, he could be regarded as having dinner with Yan Yunzhou at the same table again after a series of conversations in the morning.
Both of them were a little silent, Ning Zhi knew that this was not the time to talk about their relationship, but if there is an estrangement, there is an estrangement, and it is okay to talk about business, but when it comes to such a private situation, it is difficult to pretend that nothing has happened.
Ning Ji put down the bowl after eating:
"Qingyang Daoist asked me to help watch something, I'll live next door to him tonight, you can rest early."
After speaking, he got up directly to go out, but Yan Yunzhou grabbed his arm.
