Chapter 8 Victory in the First Battle (II) Four Changes
Luo Zhu and the others rinsed by the well in the courtyard before returning to the house to rest. Luo Tianchu posed on the bed with an action on the "Yijin Sutra" diagram, and practiced while sleeping. After two hours, the fatigue was swept away, and the true qi gathered towards the dantian like dozens of small rivers, gathering more and more, and gradually converging into a wide 'big river', flowing endlessly along the eight veins of the Qi Jing. Now he has been promoted to the realm of super-first-class masters, comparable to Lu Fei, Zhao Hengshan, Li Xiuzhi, He Renjin and other masters. As soon as he finished finishing his work, he heard a knock on the door, Luo Tianchu turned over and got out of bed, and asked, "Which one?" only to hear Ling Xue'er say: "Stupid, who do you think it is." Luo Tianchu opened the door with a smile and said, "Is dinner ready?" Ling Xue'er held a tray with a bowl of rice, a plate of fried vegetables, and a plate of shredded potatoes and meat, and said, "I brought your food, just eat it in the house." Luo Tianchu said: "Okay, what about you?" Ling Xue'er said: "I've eaten it, but ...... Well...... I'll sit with you for a while. Luo Tianchu said: "Come, please take a seat." The two sat down at the table, Luo Tianchu ate by himself, Ling Xue'er stared at his face, and said curiously: "Why is your skin so good, white and tender and translucent, even women are not as good as you, it seems that your martial arts realm has improved again." Luo Tianchu said: "My luck is good, because of the blessing of misfortune, I was seriously injured but my skills have improved greatly, so far I don't know what happened, after seeing the castle owner, I should ask him about the old man." Ling Xue'er sighed faintly: "I don't know how my father is now, I'm really worried about him." Luo Tianchu comforted her and said: "The castle master's martial arts are world-renowned, and his wisdom is outstanding, and he will be fine." What I'm most worried about is Brother Jiang's whereabouts, I haven't seen him since Feng Xiang said goodbye, I always have a sense of foreboding, I'm afraid that something will happen to him" Ling Xue'er said: "Yes, I hope that Master Jiang is safe." Even though my mother is six months pregnant, I am also very worried. ”
Luo Tianchu said: "There are two village masters in the fort, Tietang Master and Gao Yang, and there are also godmothers and old mothers to take care of Mrs., you can rest assured." Ling Xue'er nodded silently, and suddenly said: "I really hope that the war will end soon, and we can defeat the Jin soldiers." Luo Tianchu's mouth was full of rice, and he said vaguely: "I hope too." Ling Xue'er longed: "At that time, Xiao Zhu and Miss He will get married, I am thinking...... Why don't we do it together? Luo Tianchu was all about the food, and asked casually: "What to do?" Ling Xue'er blushed and said angrily: "What do you say!" Luo Tianchu woke up at this time, hurriedly swallowed the food, and made amends again and again. His recent thoughts have been on the war, and he has not considered the personal affairs of his children at all, and he also knows that he will marry Ling Xue'er in the future, it is just a matter of course, he is not urgent, and he is not looking forward to it. He actually likes Ling Xue'er, just like his best friend or relative, but like is not love, he still doesn't know what love is.
When Ling Xue'er asked, "Do you agree or not?" Luo Tianchu thought that since getting married was a matter of time or time, it would be good to join in the fun and do it together, so he said: "Okay, it's up to you." Ling Xue'er said with a smile: "This is still like words, hey, let's end the war quickly." You can propose to my father, oh yes, I forgot to tell you that Wu Jingluo asked you to go to the hall after eating. Luo Tianchu was stunned and said, "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier." I didn't even eat at the moment, wiped my mouth and went to the front hall with Ling Xue'er.
The heroes were already seated in the hall, and the position of the coach was vacant in the middle. Ling Xue'er sat down next to He Yuelian, but Luo Tianchu insisted on not sitting in the handsome position, and moved a chair to put it under the side of the handsome position, he said that the position of the boss was left to the castle owner, and he would just sit in the position of deputy marshal. The heroes listened to what he said, and they no longer persuaded each other. Wu Jiedao: "The captured weapons have been distributed, and another 1,000 elite soldiers have been selected to form cavalry, and the commander is also asked to show me." Luo Tianchu bowed and said: "Everyone has worked hard, and now we are in short supply of knife wound medicine, so I asked Xiao Zhu to take people into the mountain to collect medicine to make up for the shortage." Gongsun Mingyue said: "The hundred soldiers who collect medicine have been selected, and they can set off at any time." Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "Then please ask Xiao Zhu to leave tomorrow morning." Zhu Yushi got up and said, "Yes." Zhao Huanhuan said: "Tomorrow, Bengong and Xu will also go together." He Yuelian suddenly said, "I'll go too." Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "If Miss He is here, Xiao Zhu will definitely work harder." Zhu Yushi and He Yuelian looked at each other and smiled, and the tenderness was all in words.
Lu Yidao: "There are few people in the Qinling Mountains for thousands of years, there are many tigers, leopards, jackals, poisonous snakes and beasts, I am willing to take care of it with the army, just in case." Luo Tianchu thought that Zhao Huanhuan's status was noble, and there could be no mistakes, and it was very appropriate to have Lu Yi with him, so he immediately agreed. Luo Tianchu continued: "Wanyan Wushu is bent on avenging his brother, I expect that a general attack will be launched in a few days, except for the south gate, the other three gates will be attacked, and they should be guarded by dividing their forces." There are 6,000 troops in the east gate, the main will be Yue Yun, the deputy will be Gu Yao, and Yan Weifeng. Ximen 6,000 troops, the main will be Wu Jingluo, the deputy will be Zhao Hengshan, Du killed. The north gate is guarded by me and the lord of Lu Zhai, and Xiao Zhu also guards the north gate after he returns. The newly established 1,000 cavalry stood by in the city, acting as a surprise soldier in critical times. Gongsun was in charge of war preparedness, continued to supervise the manufacture of arrows and hoarded stones to defend the city, and also arranged for the wounded to be treated. I don't know what everyone thinks?" everyone said in unison: "Yes." Luo Tianchu said: "The city defender will go to order his own troops, take advantage of the past few days to run in with the soldiers, and only when the war starts, can he command handily." ”
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yushi took people out of the south gate and into the vast mountains. He divided a hundred people into ten teams and gave each person a list of herbs, which listed medicinal herbs such as male turtle, gallant southern star, myrrh, strychnine, keel, saffron, angelica, and pure frankincense, and each herb was written after the style, color, and taste of the herb. These soldiers are also specially selected local villagers, who have lived in the mountains before, and are no strangers to medicinal materials, Zhu Yushi instructed them to use a twist to grind and wrap the day's medicinal materials at night, and meet at the south city gate three days later. The members of Zhu Yushi's group include Lu Yi, He Yuelian, Zhao Huanhuan, Xu Huan, two soldiers and three monks from Langzhong. The three Langzhong are all military doctors, and they don't like to go into the mountains to collect medicine, but even Emperor Roufu works hard, and they don't dare to be lazy, and they are respectful to Zhao Huanhuan, but they ignore Zhu Yushi.
Zhao Huanhuan carried a basket on her back and a sickle in her hand, and walked at the forefront of the team with He Yuelian, leaving the three medical officers behind. He Yuelian said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Emperor Ji is in such good health, and he is not inferior to us in martial arts." Zhao Huanhuan smiled and said: "Sister, you don't know, when I was in Jinguo, I didn't want to run away for a day, so I insisted on exercising in the courtyard every day, and often went up the mountain to hunt, and walked on mountain roads, but fortunately, the hard work at that time was not in vain." He Yuelian said: "When Her Royal Highness the Emperor Ji returns to Lin'an, you can continue to enjoy the blessings." Zhao Huanhuan said: "You still call my sister, Her Royal Highness the Emperor is for outsiders, let's not see outside." He Yuelian grinned and said, "Yes, sister, outsiders sound as if I am also the emperor." Zhao Huanhuan smiled and said: "I am willing to exchange identities with you, I remember when I was a child, I was respected by 10,000 people in the palace, and my life was carefree, but now I look back on it like a canary in a birdcage." I don't know how many concubines and palace maids have never taken a step out of the palace in their lives, and they don't know how wonderful the outside world is, you don't know how much I envy you and Sister Xue'er," He Yuelian sighed: "The women outside envy the life of your royal family, there are so many beautiful clothes and gold, silver and jewelry, but I didn't expect my sister to have this thought." Zhao Huanhuan smiled bitterly: "Everyone has their own destiny and responsibility, and Emperor Ji is no exception, although the fate is not what I want, I still have to play this role well, so as to live up to this life." As for the next life, I just hope that I will not be born in the emperor's family. ”
Qinling is rich in products, herbs are everywhere, and it is very rewarding all the way. As they went, the more difficult the road became, and the thorns had to be cut down with a sickle before they could move forward. There are many insects and snakes in the long grass, and they tighten their cuffs and trousers to prevent them from getting in. Rao is like this, many people are still bitten by insects, itching uncomfortably, and the faces of the three medical officers are also injured by thorns, secretly complaining of pain. Lu Yi and Zhu Yushi, who opened the way, solved a lot of poisonous snakes and beasts to ensure everyone's safety.
That night, they cut a flat ground with their scythes and lit a fire to prevent the beasts from attacking. They sat down around the fire, and after eating and drinking, Zhu Yushi took out dozens of long green leaves from the basket, ground them with a twist of medicine, mixed them with water and stirred them into a sticky shape, and said: "Put it on the place where the insect has bitten, and it won't itch tomorrow." Everyone followed the words, and suddenly felt that the bite was cool and much more comfortable. (To be continued.) )
