Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Girl Who Sells Medicine
After crossing the Yellow River, everyone turned all the way to the east, and arrived at Yanshan Mansion, the hometown of Sangzi in the Wei and Qing dynasties, in a short time. The sixteen states of Yanyun are the throat of the Jin people to the south, and after the Jin army returns to the north, it is garrisoned here by the left deputy marshal Mu Han, that is, Yan Zonghan.
Two years ago, the Song Dynasty had poured all the country's manpower and financial resources into the Liao, not wanting to recover this gateway to the Central Plains as soon as it was recovered, and it would be lost again in the blink of an eye. Wei Qing returned to his hometown, but saw that the Han people in Hebei could only survive under the iron hooves of the Fanren, and had to succumb to deal with the conquest and drawing of the Jin army.
Zhou Peng said: "The Han people are not good at fighting, during the Han and Tang dynasties, there was also Wei Huo Chang drove the Huns, and Li Yaoshi pacified the majesty of the Turks, but five generations later, in order to prevent the rebellion of the late Tang Dynasty feudal town secession, Emperor Taizu only collected the military power to carry out the policy of strong and weak branches, and the people of Beidi Fan were rampant.
"Brother Zhou's words are fallacious", Xiao Qinchuan arched his hand and said, "Emperor Taizu set the national policy of real and external in order to prevent military disasters to the country, which is the high view of Ming Yuan, and now the Jin people are difficult to control, all because Li Bangyan and Zhang Bangchang are misleading the country, and it is not a crime of war, if the imperial court can rule the country in the name of the court, it will never be so."
Zhou Peng glanced at Xiao Qinchuan when he heard this, but he didn't say anything to argue with him, and his face was still a lonely and cold color. Seeing this, Xiao Qinchuan knew that he didn't think so, but he didn't want to argue with himself, and when he was about to say more, Wei Qing hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said: "The braised donkey meat here in my hometown is really a must, since it has come here, you must taste it, I will lead everyone to try it."
Xiao Qinchuan was silent, and everyone followed Wei Qing to find a restaurant and just sat down, but they heard a sudden noise on the street, and saw a few Jin soldiers who looked like Han people signing soldiers, shouting loudly around a young girl, as if there was some kind of dispute.
"The medicine you sold is obviously fake," a golden soldier grabbed the girl and called, "My brother bought your medicine yesterday and took it, and then he vomited and diarrhea, and now he is unconscious." Several other Jin soldiers next to him also laughed and echoed, laughing and reaching out from time to time to pinch the girl's face.
"You are talking nonsense, I just arrived in Yanshan Mansion City today, how can you buy medicine from me yesterday", the girl blushed, trying to push away the golden soldier who grabbed her, and reached out to block the salty pig hands of several other golden soldiers next to her.
There was a blue cloth on the ground in front of the girl, on which were placed some medicinal herbs such as Panax notoginseng, gastrodia, dendrobium and angelica, her hair was slightly scattered, and there were a few grass seeds mixed with it, and her face was quite windy and frosty, showing that she had traveled a lot before, but the pair of eyes on her face were very bright, even if her face was full of wind and dust, she could not hide the light in it, although her whole face was not as graceful as Li Rui's, but it could also be called beautiful and lovely.
"Then I think we remembered it wrongly, it wasn't the medicine we bought yesterday, then it must have just been bought", a few Jin Bing unscrupulously continued to laugh on the street, how dare anyone care about the pedestrians passing by, either watch from afar, or turn a blind eye, the Jin Bing made it clear that there was nothing to do and said, "No, you have to go with us today, and when it is clear that it is not the medicine bought from you, we will let you walk."
"I haven't sold medicine to you, why do I want to go with you", listening to the girl's accent, it didn't seem to be a native of Yanshan, and her voice of curling her tongue to learn official words was a little familiar to Wei Qing, but for a while I couldn't remember who I had heard say it.
A Jin soldier became a little anxious, and shouted: "I heard that your accent seems to be from the south, it must be a spy sent by the Song people, who deliberately sold fake medicine and harmed my Dajin soldiers, isn't it, if you don't follow Lao Tzu to make it clear, be careful to pick up your clothes here and hang them."
The girl also understood at this time that these golden soldiers were greedy for their own appearance, and seeing that she was a lonely foreign woman, she moved her lust heart and wanted to take the opportunity to bargain, her eyes rolled as if she had an idea, and said indifferently: "Okay, you let go of your hands, wait for me to pack up my things, and then you can go."
"Haha, that's right, don't worry, the soldiers won't harm you, it's too late to take care of you later", a few Jin soldiers saw that the girl had already accepted her fate, and proudly let go of her hand and laughed, "We are not afraid that you will run away, if you are obedient, we will let you go after the incident, otherwise we will treat you as a spy of the Southern Dynasty."
The girl wrapped the medicinal herbs for sale in a blue cloth, put them on her shoulders and walked out of the city first, and several golden soldiers followed briskly behind, pointing at her figure as she went, and let out a few lewd laughs from time to time.
"Bastard thing, it's really unseemly, I am obviously also a Han person, and I was forcibly recruited by the Jin people to be a soldier, but I humiliated a woman like this, and I really went to be the second Tartar who didn't want an ancestor", Xiao Qinchuan got up and said angrily, "I'll go and take a look, this kind of dirty thing has been encountered, so you can't stand idly by."
"Okay, I'll go with you", Wei Qing also got up and left his seat to follow, "Find a place where no one is to teach these guys who have forgotten their ancestors, and let them know that it is not good to be a dog for Fanren."
Zhou Peng tapped his fingers on the table, and suddenly said lightly: "The medicinal materials sold by that girl are of excellent quality, and they cannot be produced by Dali, and she also speaks with a Dali accent, most of them are Dali's people's family, if a girl's family does not have a little personal skills, where can she go from the land of Tiannan to Hebei in this chaotic season, I think her demeanor and pace should have been practiced martial arts, and those few golden soldiers are only afraid that they will have to suffer."
Wei Qing saw that the girl was younger than himself, and her soft and weak appearance looked like she could beat those golden soldiers, but he had always been convinced of Zhou Peng, and immediately became curious, and pulled Xiao Qinchuan not far away and secretly followed, wanting to see how the girl dealt with the entanglement of this group of golden soldiers.
The girl led a few Jin soldiers out of the city and stopped after walking for Lixu, Wei Qing and Xiao Qinchuan hurriedly lowered their bodies and hid on the side of the road, only to see that she looked around and saw that there was no one, and then turned around and said coldly: "I have never sold any fake medicine to you, and I don't want to make more trouble, but if you are still blindly rude and nonsense, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
The Jin Bing led by him looked back at his companion, and was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses and was sure that he had heard correctly, and strode forward to pull the girl, and scolded with a smile: "Hehe, it's good to be ruthless, otherwise it's delicious."
