Chapter 143: Hidden Words in the Letter
When the curtain was opened, Weaving Dream raised his hand and eyes to block the light pouring out of the door, and the northwest sky seemed to be getting higher and higher.
After realizing it, it was already autumn, and it was still the height of summer when they came back from the south, just like yesterday's dream.
Weaving Dream patted the folds on her skirt and walked to the camp next door, clutching an envelope in her hand, which couldn't help but attract the guards' sideways.
Not long after entering the camp tent of Zhu'an, Weaving Dream came out again, still holding the letter in his hand, and walked to the guard who had just looked at her now changed position and stood still, raising his head to stare at the guard.
Those eyes were beautiful and bright, like stars.
Just stared straight at him.
The guards were stared at by her uncomfortably, and their eyes began to wander.
Seeing this, Weaving Dream suddenly laughed, with a bit of innocence, "This little brother, can you help me deliver this letter to the messenger'......s office?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, and took the letter with a flushed face, and he didn't know if he was a little shy when he saw Weaving Dream's smile, or if he felt that he was a little embarrassed when his secret behavior was discovered, so he agreed, "No, no problem!"
Then he bent down and saluted, and ran away with a puff of smoke.
Weaving Dream looked at his departing back, tilted his head and silently hooked the corners of his lips, glanced at the neighborhood quietly, turned around and returned to Zhu'an's tent.
Hearing the movement of her return, Zhu An wiped her hand with a cloth that was still dripping with water, and looked over, "The letter was taken?"
Weaving Dream nodded, "Yes, I'll go around General Wan first." ”
Although there is a secret channel where information can be exchanged at any time, it is also strange that two people who have a good relationship suddenly do not meet. Weaving dreams still run to the camp tent every day, but they are chatting, sometimes the two of them are drying medicinal materials outside the door together, and sometimes when Weaving Dreams goes to the clinic, Weaving Dreams will help deliver things, which is normal.
And the letter that Weaving Dream is holding today is sent to Shuhua, in which Weaving Dream wrote two sentences to report safety, even if it is sent to General Wan, there is nothing wrong with it.
When she walked into the tent with the letter, she noticed the smell of someone approaching, although the guard had tried to lighten his steps as much as possible, but how could he escape the terrifying perception of Dream Weaving.
For this level of surveillance, both of them can accept it, and they have not debunked it.
When the guards reported the situation, they would say that Weaving Dream took the letter and looked at it to Zhu'an, and no matter how cautious he was to open the envelope with a knife, he could only see two sentences, "Seeing the words is like meeting, Shuhua has been good lately? How is Feibai's injury recovering? I have arrived safely in the Northwest Dock City, everything is fine......" and so on.
The envelope she brought in was still the same when she went out, but the letter inside was not.
The only words that could be seen on the letter paper were indeed those two greetings, but that was because they had already used the letter to discuss it through the secret hole, and when Weaving Dream took the letter over, it was a letter at that time, and another one was sent out.
The other letter was handed over to Zhu'an, and the previous content was exactly the same as the first letter, but the second letter had other mysteries.
A special medicinal powder is mixed with the ink for writing, and after the writing is completed, the letter paper is placed on the fire and baked slightly, and the written words are hidden. If you just hold it and look at it, you won't see anything. If you want to see the hidden words, drop two drops of water, or soak the bottom half of the paper, and the hidden words will naturally resurface.
In the processed letter, they were detailed about their current location, their experiences during this time, what they had discovered, and the reasons why they had hidden the information.
After all, they haven't written to inform the news for so long, and they must be worried.
It's going to be here for a long time to come, and now is the perfect time to write a letter.
Shuhua is delicate, and when he sees the letter whose content is simple and only idle and is bound to be suspicious, he will pay attention to check the letterhead, so that the news can be transmitted to Shuhua quietly, and because he is a doctor in the army, several wooden cabinets with medicine have been moved in the camp tent one after another, and it is also very convenient for him to mix pharmaceutical powder.
Even if someone is watching, Weaving Dream takes the letter into the account, and replaces the letter in the envelope with the letter paper prepared in advance, and listens to the sound outside the tent, and only thinks that Weaving Dream takes the letter to Zhu'an to look at, and will not find anything.
"Well, there's no way around it, but don't worry. ”
Weaving Dream suddenly thought of something, covered her mouth and laughed, "When Shuhua sees it, she will definitely be startled!"
"Well, I think so, I'm definitely worried about you. Shuhua is very attentive to you. After a pause, his expression became more serious and he asked, "So, Ah Meng, when will you go home and have a look?"
Weaving Dream lowered his head and rummaged on Zhu'an's desk, and Zhu'an sorted out the medicinal materials on the side.
There were no medicine cabinets in his tent before, but later in order to directly dispense medicine when prescribing medicine, General Wan sent a few medicine cabinets over.
When the medicine cabinet was delivered, each drawer was already full of medicine, and General Wan also explained to him that this was the medicine cabinet that an old soldier had used before, because the old military doctor was not very strong in his old age, and the diagnosis of the condition began to be confused, and there were often soldiers who got the medicine and ate the situation that the condition worsened, which added a lot of chaos, but because the old military doctor had dedicated his life to the military camp, and even at that time he himself took the initiative to ask to serve in the army, giving up the position of imperial doctor in the royal capital, with high character and benevolent medical ethics, the soldiers seemed to choose to remain silent after knowing this situation, and the generals did not accuse them in personIt wasn't until later that the military doctor realized that his elderly body could no longer stay in the army, and he resigned and left the northwest, and these medicine cabinets were vacant.
However, when Zhu'an opened the drawer to check the records, he found that many medicinal materials were mixed together, and I don't know if it was because the careless soldier bumped into the cabinet when carrying it, or because of the mistake of the old military doctor before, he put the wrong medicinal materials when sorting them. In order not to affect the efficacy of the medicine, Zhu'an can only re-sort, pick out the mixed medicinal materials, and then reclassify them.
It has to be said that this is a somewhat boring and tedious job.
Zhu'an is familiar with all kinds of medicinal materials, sorting only needs to look at a glance to know the type, weaving dreams are not good, she can't recognize so many medicinal materials, she has the heart to help pick for a while, when you encounter the medicinal materials you don't know, you can only ask Zhu'an, but this kind of inquiry makes Zhimeng feel that there is enough to delay Zhu'an to do things, so she asks Zhu'an if there is a complete collection of medicinal materials, so that she can tell what kind of medicinal materials she is as long as she looks at the records in the book, and she can help, and it will not hinder Zhu'an.
Ann said the name of the book, and then pointed to the desk by the wall where they had used to communicate secretly, and motioned for her to look for it.
"Ask for medicine...... Ask the medicine...... There doesn't seem to be a name in this stack of books, huh!" When Dream put down the book he was flipping through, he accidentally bumped his elbow
When he arrived at the stack of books behind him, the book tower was shaky and unstable, and Weaving Dream hurriedly reached out to help, but there were still a few books on the upper floor that fell to the ground.
"Ameng, what's wrong?" said Zhu An, who poked his head out from behind the cabinet and asked with concern.
"Ah, brother, it's okay, it's okay! ”
Zhu'an said two sentences and continued to turn his head.
"Anyway, there are too many things in my brother's house, it's not big, and there are so many things stuffed in...... There are so many books and so many stacks...... "Weaving Dream muttered and bent down to pick it up, and stopped with his hand on a book," ...... The Art of War?"
Is this also a medical book? Is it possible to diagnose a disease and fight a war with soldiers?
Weaving Dream stood up with the book he picked up, carefully put the other books back, opened the art of war with a little curiosity, and paused his fingertips, "Really, I know it's impossible......"
It's just a book of soldiers.
However, why is there still such a book as the art of war in the medical book, is it the soldier who brought the book who made a mistake? Or is it ......
She looked up in the direction of the medicine cabinet, and the busy figure with her head down was blocked out a little, and all she could see was the sleeve of her coat pulled up from her elbow, revealing a well-proportioned and white forearm.
Could it be ...... Is my brother watching?
She flipped down casually, stared at the words on a page, hesitated for a moment, and then read: "It can win in battle, but if it is long, it will be blunt, and if it is strong, if it is strong, if it is strong, if it is a long-term tyrannical division, it will be insufficient." If the husband is blunt and the soldiers are frustrated, and the princes take advantage of their disadvantages, although there are wise people who cannot be good at it. Therefore, the soldiers heard it quickly, and they did not see the coincidence for a long time. Those who have been serving for a long time and the country are not there. Therefore, those who do not fully understand the harm of using troops cannot fully understand the benefits of using soldiers. After a pause, he asked, "Brother, do you know what this sentence means?"
Zhu'an's hands kept moving, and he replied without thinking about it: "The army requires a quick victory in battle, and if it drags on for a long time, the army will inevitably be tired and lose its sharpness." Once the city is attacked, the army will be exhausted, and the long-term war outside the country will inevitably lead to a shortage of national finances. If the army is exhausted by the long battle, the spirit is frustrated, the military strength is exhausted, and the domestic supplies are exhausted, the other princes will surely take advantage of the fire to loot. In this way, even the resourceful have no good plan to save the perilous. Therefore, in actual combat, I have only heard that generals lack high skills and it is difficult to win quickly, but I have never seen a commander who is clever and skillful in protracted combat. There has never been a protracted war that benefits the country. Therefore, without a detailed understanding of the harms of using troops, we cannot fully understand the benefits of using troops. Isn't that a medical book?"
Weaving Dream put together the art of war in his hand and said with a smile: "Yes, I saw a book of the art of war mixed in the medical book, and I didn't understand this sentence when I saw it, so I asked casually, my brother knows it, it's really amazing." ”
She lowered her head and looked thoughtfully at the book in her hand.
Such a long paragraph was picked out by her at random, and Zhu'an didn't even want to answer directly, and the meaning was word-for-word.
Brother......
"But I've seen some of it in my spare time, and I've just remembered it. ”
"That means my brother has a good memory. ”
After she finished answering, she listened to a laugh from the other side, lowered her head again, and after standing for a moment, it suddenly occurred to her mind that she had flipped through the other stacks of books and found that there were several others.
Looking at the pile of books she took out, she suddenly read another sentence, and her voice was very soft, like a dream.
"Water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent. The magic of application lies in one mind. ”
