Chapter 86
After the requisition of grain and clothing, it was a few days of buying sake lees. Ox carts and donkey carts dragging wine lees paved the avenues between the cities. The pungent smell of sour sake lees filled the city and beyond. Even the beggars, who had long been accustomed to dirty and smelly, couldn't help but hide their snorts.
What a bad smell this is, Zheng Gongzi, who had just gotten up, secretly swore that he knew that the wine lees smelled so bad, so he shouldn't drink, and when he returned to Daqin, he was afraid that if he saw the wine, he would leave a shadow.
Xu Ao stood on the street and tried to suck the taste of the lees, sip after sip, this was the taste of the family in the previous life. I didn't pay any attention to the look of the passerby who looked at the idiot and fool.
Xu Hu and the others simply stuffed two handkerchiefs in their nostrils.
There are those who are more delicate, but they light incense and don't go out.
Fortunately, General Leniu said that it was to endure for a few days, and when the grain and grass arrived, this kind of suffering days would be over.
All of a sudden, all the spices in the lonely bamboo city were out of stock. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, if anyone doesn't buy a little incense, I'm afraid it will make people laugh at this moment.
General Qin twitched his nose as he ate breakfast.
This method is good, but the taste is really unbearable.
But it's hard for them to think of this method.
"General, the scouts on the steppe haven't heard from them for three days. A sergeant walked in briskly and reported on one knee.
"Oh" Before General Qin put down the dishes and chopsticks. A black-clothed masked man appeared out of thin air, kneeling on the ground and clenching his fists: "General, the baggage troops have been attacked, and all the grain and grass have been burned." ”
"Oh" General Qin slowly wiped his mouth with his palm, stared at his palm for a while, and said slowly: "Go and inform Zheng Gongzi and ask him to make a decision." I'm just responsible for execution. ”
"Yes," the two left one after another. General Qin wiped his hands on his robe, and the rest of the breakfast was about half gone, and went back to the house to continue sleeping. It seems that this is the shopkeeper.
A few attendants in the house, you look at me, I look at you, and they scattered.
On that side, Zheng Gongzi, who received the news, almost broke the tea bowl in his hand, if it weren't for the neatness of the old slave named Zheng Er, I am afraid that it would have made a joke.
"Two adults, did General Qin have any orders?" Zheng Gongzi hid his hot and reddened hand behind his back and wiped it behind his back. Some cold coats are good cooling appliances.
"The general instructed that the King of Qin has an order, and Zheng Dacai is the commander-in-chief of this northern road, and everything is up to the adults. We just have to execute. The sergeant replied neatly, while the man in black didn't say a word, but when the sergeant finished speaking, he nodded silently, agreeing with this statement.
Zheng Gongzi understands that I am afraid that this assessment, even if it officially starts, the previous lack of food and clothing may only be regarded as an appetizer, and the main meal at the back door is not easy to eat.
"Gather the disciples of the Yanwu Hall and gather in the main hall within a quarter of an hour. Those who are outdated 、、、 "Zheng Gongzi wanted to take advantage of the situation to make a decision, but suddenly remembered that the various forces in this martial arts hall are intricate, if one of them is beheaded, I am afraid that the group of people behind that person will be offended, so I have to temporarily change my words: "Whip ten whips to set an example." ”
Waiting for the two to retreat, the old slave who took the tea bowl took out a shell from his arms, and after opening it, the grease in it emitted an intoxicating aroma, and for a while there seemed to be no other taste in the air except for this sweet and greasy aroma: "Childe, this is mermaid oil, which is the most effective for burns, sword scars, etc., fortunately, the old man told the old slave to bring it with him." If the son goes back and has a few more scars on his body, the old slave will not be able to explain to the master. However, if Childe wants to leave a few scars for the girls in Xianyang City to see, you can tell the old slave that the old slave of the province has done something wrong and made Childe unhappy. ”
"Come on, now don't hurt me. Zheng Gongzi hurriedly stretched out his hand hidden behind his back, and the back of Bai Yu'er's hand was already hot and red in the past. In addition, the friction on the clothes just now is a little heavy, and the skin is a little broken at this time.
Zheng Er held Zheng Gongzi's hand with one hand, dipped some shark oil in the other, and gently smeared it on the back of his hand. After rubbing it slightly, he blew a few breaths gently, and the back of his hand, which had been broken and watery, healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, it was back to normal.
"Childe, this burn is a matter of my daughter's family, and it is correct to leave no scar. Next time, if the son wants to have more sword scars, he can find the old slave to forge them. At the beginning, the old man fell in love with the daughter of the Shi family in Xianyang City, so he asked the old slave to forge a few scars on his back with a knife. The craftsmanship of the old slave has been praised by the master, and it is definitely not painful. Zheng Er chattered as he carefully closed the shell containing the mermaid oil and put it into his arms.
The scars behind the emotional father, which are said to have survived after the bloody battle, were forged by Zheng Er. Suddenly, Zheng Gongzi felt that Uncle Guo's image, which was not a great shore, collapsed a little more, rubbed the back of his hand, and saw that it was really back to the beginning, and pinched his cheeks: "Accompany me to the main hall, remember to call the four people of wind, rain, thunder and lightning and give me a pressure array." ”
"Childe, why do you need those four laymen to suppress the formation, you, just go there, it is the overlord of the proper child. Zheng Er gave a thumbs up and praised.
Zheng Gongzi shrunk his neck and pulled with both hands: "Is this Wang Ba?" he smiled and walked out of the hall.
Zheng Er looked at the back of the little boy going out in the hall: "It's exactly the same as the old man's original real." ”
A quarter of an hour later, all the disciples of Yanwutang gathered in the main hall of the council, regardless of men and women sitting on the ground, their waists straight, in popular terms, that is, sitting upright like a clock.
Zheng Er stood small to the side, bending his back. The four masters of wind, rain, thunder and lightning stood in front of the screen. Zheng Gongzi sat opposite everyone.
"General Qin's meaning, I have probably conveyed it to you. From this point on, the assessment should be the beginning. Let's all work together. Zheng Gongzi coughed lightly, although he was also a man of the year in Yanwutang in the past, but after all, it was the first time to be in a high position, so he was inevitably a little nervous, and took a deep breath: "Wait a minute, let's take a closer look at the city defense map, and one person is responsible for guarding one place." Since Beidi sent elite troops to make a detour to the rear and ruined our baggage, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take advantage of the poor run-in between the two armies to send a master to raid. Everyone brought the cigarette letter, and if there was an attacker, no matter how many people there were, immediately release the cigarette letter. I will send four people to patrol in batches, and I will be the first to arrive when I see Yanxin. ”
Zheng Gongzi paused again, seeing that no one raised doubts, and then said: "If you have brought a master guard, you will share more city defense tasks." Relying on the elites of Qin Yan's two armies alone may not be enough to stop the Beidi killers from advancing forward. Xu Ao, put your 1,000 elite soldiers in the granary. The baggage was attacked, and the grain and grass in the city must not have any more accidents. Do you understand?"
Understood! The crowd responded.
Zheng Er's waist bent a little, and the smile on the corner of his mouth also bent a little more.
