7 Chapter VII
Chu Ji said that he wanted to dismantle the medicine house, but he was not completely teasing Jiang Mu.
He was about to go to Cangzhou, and many things in the house had to be demolished, especially his laboratories where soap, glass, and fireworks were made.
As for Jiang Mu's medicine house, given that Jiang Mu is really annoying, it is better to dismantle it. The dismantled timber can still be sold for a lot of money, and it can't be wasted.
Seeing Jiang Mu carrying the small medicine box on his back, chasing himself all the way to the study, still howling desperately, Chu Ji finally stopped and said, "I'm transferred to Cangzhou Mu, don't you follow me?" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Mu was still chasing Chu Ji at this time, and when he saw him stop, he hurriedly braked suddenly. Due to the effect of inertia, the medicine box suddenly hit his waist, and Jiang Mu covered his waist in pain, bared his teeth and circled in place, and did not forget to hurt Chu Ji in his mouth: "What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into that emperor?" ”
That's a state pastor, who has the power of a state, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the emperor of the soil.
Chu Ji glanced at him, pushed the door into the study, and sat at the desk: "I can't spit out ivory!" ”
Jiang Mu was still holding his waist and was stunned for a moment, but suddenly reacted, didn't Chu Ji say that he was Ah Huang! Bah, Ah Huang is his father-in-law, and he is not. Wrong! He's not a dog!
Jiang Mu immediately followed into the study, stood in front of the desk, and stared at Chu Ji with a pair of almond eyes angrily.
"Huh?" Chu Ji suddenly reacted and asked, "I sent Yang You to Cangzhou to make arrangements in advance, didn't he say goodbye to you?" ”
Hearing Chu Ji's words, Jiang Mu, who was still very imposing, stared at Jiang Mu, who was holding his head high and his waist crossed, suddenly rested and sat on the chair like a deflated ball.
Seeing him like this, Chu Ji still doesn't understand anything.
In the original book, Yang You was the military advisor of Cai Kuang, the leader of the rebel army, who was clever and calculated, which caused Qin Zong a lot of trouble. Later, because of Cai Kuang's tyrannical temperament and disregard human life like a mustard, Yang You admonished him many times, and was finally beheaded by Cai Kuang.
Speaking of why Yang You is loyal to Cai Kuang, it is all because back then, Cai Kuang gave Yang You, who was begging on the street, a steamed bun.
Yang You was born in a family of eunuchs, but later his parents died, and his family was in the middle. The family who was originally married to him didn't want to marry their daughter to him anymore, but they were afraid of being infamous for being poor and loving rich, so they were ruthless and set a fire in Yang You's house, wanting to burn Yang You to death. Fortunately, Yang You escaped, but half of his face was burned.
When Chu Ji met him, he had already burned his face, and it was because he came to ask for it, and the token when the two families got married was pressed to the ground by the family of that family.
Chu Ji valued his talent, and thought that he knew how to repay his kindness and love the people, so he avenged him, took back the token, brought him back, and asked Jiang Mu to heal him.
Somehow, Jiang Mu actually fell in love with Yang You.
Chu Ji has always been open to the matter of sexual orientation, if he likes it, he likes it, and what kind of men and women are there.
Moreover, he and Jiang Mu get along more like friends, and of course he hopes that Jiang Mu can get what he wants.
So, when Jiang Mu was depressed because Yang You was going to leave for a while, he specially instructed Yang You to say goodbye to Jiang Mu.
Unexpectedly, Yang You didn't even tell Jiang Mu where he was going.
I saw Jiang Mu keep his head down, his fingers picking at the belt on the medicine box, looking depressed. Chu Ji realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he had no choice but to speak comfortingly: "Yang You has always been cautious, maybe he thinks it is a secret order, and it is not good to tell you." ”
"Wood! Wood! Wood! Jiang Mu stood up suddenly and stomped his feet, as if he wanted to stomp Yang You flat. After venting, he suddenly looked at Chu Ji, with a light in his eyes: "When are you going to Cangzhou?" ”
“…… Three days later, "Chu Ji didn't understand why Jiang Mu suddenly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood."
"Okay, I'll go back and dismantle the medicine house now!" Jiang Mu left in a hurry, almost colliding with Ji An, who came in with dinner.
Chu Ji, who was sitting behind the desk, shook his head. Love is so strange that it makes people strange.
*
After dinner, Chu Ji sat in the study, took bamboo paper, held a wolf hair, and was writing a letter.
The letter is addressed to the Confession.
Kuai Xi is not in Shengjing recently, but in Yizhou.
Yizhou is near the sea, and Chu Ji drew the drawings of the ship and handed it over to the eldest brother and second brother to build. Not long ago, the ship had been built and was ready to go to sea. Kuai Xi was sent by Chu Ji to make the final arrangements.
A few hundred miles further south of Yizhou, there is Qinye City, where 100,000 Qin soldiers are buried.
Chu Ji wanted Kuai Xi to go there and have a look. No matter what, now that he has Qin Zong under his command, he always has to tell Marshal Qin. In addition, there are other things.
Chu Ji's words are very similar to his people. On the surface, it looks gentle and graceful, revealing the noble and uninhibited son of the turbid world, but if you look closely, you will find that the hidden pen edge, arrogant and natural, unstoppable, like a peerless sword that puts the edge in the scabbard.
After a while, Chu Ji put down his pen and leaned back in his chair.
There was no wind tonight, so Ji An deliberately opened the window for him to let in some air.
Through the open window, Chu Ji looked at the moonlight. At this time, it was not too late, and the moon hung in the eastern sky, and the moon was like water, quiet and clear, and it was a full moon.
The study was also very quiet, except for the occasional sound of patrolling through the window, which was very regular, and only the rustle of Ji An grinding ink for him.
Retracting his gaze, Chu Ji picked up another piece of rice paper. This is the best jade version of Xuan, the color is as white as jade, smooth and firm.
In this world, paper has long been born, and hemp paper has been widely used for writing. But this bamboo paper and rice paper were improved step by step after Chu Ji crossed over.
This is a gift list written to Wang Xiangguo, ostensibly a thank you gift, but in fact it is more than that.
There are still 7 months to go before the Cangzhou snow disaster, and Chu Ji doesn't want Zhao Xie to have another whim during this period, or be bewitched by someone to let him return to Beijing to restore his life. The best way is to let Wang Qi and his concubine sister "persuade" the emperor for him.
Wang Wei has always been "sensitive" in these matters, and he will think that he just wants to have more freedom in Cangzhou.
This gift list, with a thank you gift, as long as it is prepared tomorrow, let Ji An send it to Wang Qi's mansion.
*
After writing the gift list, Chu Ji put down the pen, rubbed his swollen and painful temples, and stood up again to move his muscles and bones in the study.
It stands to reason that his body would not have allowed him to spend his mind like this today. But there are so many things, they have to be done within three days, and Chu Ji's consistent principle is to be in front of the front.
At this moment, Hong Rui's voice came from outside. He was one of the four people that Chu Ji arranged to watch Qin Zong, and his martial arts were already superior among the guards in the mansion.
"My lord, the little master has a high fever."
Chu Ji walked quickly to the door, suddenly pushed open the door, and asked, "Have you gone to invite Jiang Mu?" As he asked, he walked towards Qin Zong's residence.
Hong Rui bowed and said, "I've already gone to invite." ”
Chu Ji was in a hurry, he knew that Qin Zong's fever tonight was like a sea of mountains and seas, and it was very dangerous. In the original book, it was tonight that Qin Zong felt the threat of death for the first time. Qin Zong also survived this night in the cell, causing him to suffer from a headache.
Several attacks on the battlefield greatly affected Qin Zong's operations.
Chu Ji felt that his heart was a little chaotic. He couldn't tell whether he was worried about Qin Zong's headache and would affect his future battles; I'm still worried that Qin Zong will have a headache. Maybe it's a bit of both......
The clothes in the walking room flew up, bringing up some cool air currents in the summer night, pouring into Chu Ji's nose and throat.
When he pushed open Qin Zong's door, his lips were already irrepressible, and he coughed one after another.
After pouring a few cups of hot tea, Chu Ji could barely suppress the itch in his throat.
He walked to Qin Zong's bedside and found that Qin Zong's cheeks were flushed, hot air was gushing, his eyes were closed, his brows were wrinkled in pain, and his head was writhing uneasily, as if he was having some nightmare.
Chu Ji subconsciously put his hand on his forehead, wanting to see if the burn was serious first. When there was a hot temperature in the palm of his hand, he suddenly reacted, his body was weak, his body temperature was lower than that of ordinary people, even in the middle of summer, his hands and feet were cold. What does this feel?
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he was pressed back by a force.
It's Qin Zong.
Qin Zong didn't come to his senses. He just felt hot and uncomfortable, but he couldn't get rid of it. At this time, a sudden chill came gently, with the familiar smell of medicine.
But before he could remember where this medicinal fragrance came from, the coolness was about to leave. He subconsciously grabbed it, like a man walking in the desert, holding a pool of clear water.
Chu Ji's hand was held down by Qin Zong, so it was difficult to withdraw again. Seeing the pain on Qin Zong's face stretch out again, and the person quieted down, he stroked Qin Zong's forehead, sat down on the edge of the bed, and looked at Qin Zong's childish face.
I'm right, Qin Zong is very good-looking.
The candle flame in the room was warm yellow, shining obliquely on Qin Zong's face.
Even if he is only fifteen years old, Qin Zong's facial features already have a handsome and profound appearance, the mountain roots are straight, and the eyebrows are heroic, but the left forehead is pasted with gauze, which is particularly eye-catching.
Chu Ji remembered that Qin Zong had a pair of sharp and alienated Danfeng eyes. At this moment, the eyes as fierce as a wolf were covered, and only the eyelashes like crow feathers and the arcs of flowing clouds could be seen.
…… When you are sick, you are not as fierce and stubborn as you are in the daytime.
Just when Chu Ji took the wet handkerchief from Ji An's hand and replaced his hand from Qin Zong's forehead, Jiang Mu came.
As soon as Jiang Mu came in, what he saw was Chu Ji sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning down to change Qin Zong's veil, this warm scene of "father's kindness and filial piety".
After pouting, Jiang Mu walked to the side of the bed, ready to take Qin Zong's left hand to check his pulse.
Before he could touch Qin Zong's hand, Qin Zong suddenly opened his eyes. The eyes that were originally dark and bright looked a little dim, obviously burned, but they were very skillful in holding the fangs in their right hand and making defensive movements.
The four guards who were already standing by the bed immediately stood in front of Chu Ji and Jiang Mu, ready to draw their knives at any time.
"Huh!" Jiang Mu was taken aback and quickly dodged away.
After Jiang Mu dodged away, he saw that Qin Zong was just holding his fangs, and he didn't make the next move, and he didn't hurt Chu Ji who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
He patted his heart, tentatively returned to the bed, and found that Qin Zong really didn't make any more movements to swing the knife. With a sigh of relief, he was about to put his finger on Qin Zong's wrist.
But who knows, Qin Zong's right hand suddenly waved its fangs.
Fortunately, Hong Rui made a move and flicked Qin Zong's wrist, and the other three stepped forward to restrain Qin Zong, otherwise they would have injured Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu was also a little irritated, grabbing his hair, muttering in his mouth, I can't cure such a living Hades......
Chu Ji, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, frowned, looked at the three people who restrained Qin Zong, and said, "Start lightly, don't hurt him." ”
He knew why Qin Zong reacted so much. Qin Zong, who was already burned, didn't realize that he had left the prison and was in a safe environment.
What's more, perhaps in his subconscious, when he came to himself, it was just a front foot out of the wolf's den, and a back foot into the tiger's den.
Qin Zong had a lot of old injuries on his body, and he should have had a fever many times when he was in prison. There was no one to heal him, so he struggled to survive on his own; When someone wanted to get closer, he put up his spikes as best he could to protect himself.
In just one month, this kind of life has almost become his habit.
Chu Ji's heart was a little painful, as if he was being pricked by a fine needle.
