Chapter 21: Herbs and War
Zhang Sen breathed a sigh of relief, originally a little worried that Chi Daokuan would take him around in the mountains. It seems that I have thought a lot about it, I know how to plan the route, and I know how to improve efficiency. At least it shows that Uncle Chi's stocking policy still has a certain effect!
"So, go pick the 'tin berries' first, and then the next route" taps on the map somewhere on the map.
"What's next!?" Xiaocao laughed disdainfully. "Even if we prepared in advance, are you so sure that we can deal with that 'iron centipede' in one day!?"
"Hey, in addition to those things, I also brought some snacks for the 'Tin Centipede', I'm sure you'll like it then!" Chi Daokuan smirked. "Enhanced!"
Zhang Sen listened to the conversation between the two and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Iron Peel Fruit" is named because the outer skin is black and shiny, especially like iron skin. The higher the vintage, the brighter the color. The appearance is not very elegant. But the effect is huge. Especially for physical practice. Such drugs that can directly increase the body's resistance to combat are really rare. And the "iron centipede" is a strange beast guarding the herbs. The crumbs that fell from eating the "iron peel fruit" all year round. The back of a body is as hard as a stone, coupled with the natural venom on the toes. It's even more prohibitive!
"Are you so sure that the 'Iron Peel Fruit' was not picked by someone else?" Zhang Sen really didn't want to pick this thing unless it was necessary. There are too many uncontrollable factors, and the danger is too great! He originally thought that he would just pick two cold medicines on the side of the road and go back!
Xiaocao straightened up, walked to the side and took a sip of the tea, leaving a beautiful lip print on the teacup. I thought Zhang Sen was just worried about running in vain. Explained: "Let's not mention that this place is the middle of the middle! You really underestimate the strength of the Li family! In this place, as long as any herb that is a little famous is unearthed, the people of the Li family will definitely be able to pounce on it like a dog smelling stool!"
Chi Daokuan listened to the swear words that came out of Xiaocao's mouth, and reflexively turned around to confirm that Aunt Li was not there. Only then did he speak: "It's not so exaggerated, Zhang Sen doesn't know, it's normal." In the past two years, the Li family has converged a lot. I guess the letter came from Kyoto. As he spoke, he smiled a little disdainfully. "It's just by a woman"
Feeling Zhang Sen poke himself, he looked up and saw Xiaocao's slightly squinted eyes. Hurriedly changed his words: "It's just that I relied on a woman to marry a good family in Kyoto! I actually dared to borrow people's power! and the city lord barked!!" pretending to be mature and sighed: "I will definitely die a miserable death in the future!"
"A good family, I'm afraid it's a very good family! Even the city lord doesn't dare to move lightly!" Zhang Sen paused, frowning and thinking of something: "A few days ago, I heard someone in the medical hall say that the Li family expelled a few children from the house?" At the moment, I was a little puzzled, could it be that the Li family knew about some troubles in the future? But I didn't know that this matter had something to do with him.
The swordsman who intercepted Li's shopkeeper that day was indeed sent out by the Li family. It was with the help of such a major event that the head of the Li family naturally expelled several disciples from the door of the Li family!
"The shelf is too high! It's hard to think about it!But it's still a little clever! I know how to leave an incense seed for myself!"
Zhang Sen was surprised again! It was just that these words came out of Chi Daokuan's mouth, but the key was that when they came out of the mouth of such a little girl, the meaning changed! How could a little girl in the countryside who had not yet reached adulthood be able to point out such trivial matters of a wealthy family in one sentence! The people that Uncle Chi knew were really not simple!
Seeming to be a little tired, Xiaocao straightened up and yawned slightly. looked at Zhang Sen's dull gaze, and then followed his gaze. Extremely dangerously moved his wrist. "There's another time! blow your head out!"
At night, Zhang Sen and Chi Daokuan slept together because Xiaocao only cleaned an empty house.
Staring at the horizontal wood on the room, Zhang Sen suddenly felt a little emotional. Thinking about the children I have come into contact with since I was reborn, which are the size of my body. Chi Daokuan, Huang Jun, Bai Zhantang plus this Li Xiaocao. Why are all the children I come into contact with so wicked? In my previous life, when I was 12 years old, I was still chatting in an Internet café!
"Father has never let me tell you!" Chi Daokuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Zhang Sen snorted, turned his head sideways: "What do you mean?"
"Five years ago, our Chu State and Korea were in a big war! The reason for this is not clear at first. South Korea's 'Shang' general Shen Bu harmed the army of 100,000 and attacked Chu. It's ridiculous to say. Chi Daokuan really laughed, but his voice was a little chilly. "The city on the border between our Chu State and South Korea, especially the Dawan City is the strongest, with Qinggang rock as the stone, and the city wall made of keratinization liquid is more than 100 meters! Although there are only less than 30,000 troops in the city, it is simple to support half a month and wait for our Chu army to come to help! But do you know how?"
Zhang Sen's scalp was a little numb, and Chi Daokuan's eyes were a little weird when he looked at him!
"It was broken in less than ten days! Find out the reason! It's even more sad and lamentable!"
"Zheng Huaiqiu, who is only twenty years old, a Korean spy who has been lurking in Dawan City for six years, was at first a guest of the city lord's eldest son Lin Shijiao. Soon after the war began, he suffered dozens of stab wounds. The broken arm carried the head of Shen Gongbao, the son of Shen Buxian, to repay the merit. Later, the city was broken soon after, and I don't need to say more about the process!" There was a sigh in his tone.
"Amazing character!" I don't know if it's to say that Shen is not harmful, or Zheng Huaiqiu, who cut off his arm to seek trust.
"The surrounding generals of 50,000 Chu troops rushed all the way, although they heard the defeat on the way, but they still wanted to take advantage of Shen not being harmed and not standing firm to catch him off guard!
"There was actually a tie! Seeing that things could not be done, our army died down."
"Later, the monarch once said, if you get Zheng Huaiqiu, Dawan City will send you!"
"Centrifugal meter!" Zhang Sen listened with some fascination. Although it is a matter of a few simple words, I can't think of any magnificence in it!
Chi Daokuan smiled. "Who knows, maybe that's what the king thinks? The monarch sighed in the court: Looking at the juniors of our country, that one is as good as Zheng Huaiqiu! Later, it was the whole country that was indignant! The name Zheng Huaiqiu once became a shame and taboo for our Chu State! Don't you see that he is rarely described in books!"
"Kill two birds with one stone!" Kill and kill! Sure enough, how can anyone be an idiot who can be the monarch of a country in times of war?
"Why didn't Uncle Chi let you tell me?" Zhang Sen was a little puzzled.
"Father said that he didn't want you to be a character like Zheng Huaiqiu and Shen Buxian. Looking at Zhang Sen, Chi Daokuan thought about his father's evaluation of Zhang Sen that day, and his eyes became brighter and brighter! Being able to compare with such a character in his father's mouth is a rare thing in itself!
Zhang Sen was stunned for a moment, avoiding Chi Daokuan's bright eyes. muttered, "Really?" On the beam, he seemed to see Uncle Chi who was looking at him with a kind face. And you can't think of it to yourself, Zheng Huaiqiu is 20 years old, but he can break an arm! Although Shen Bu is powerful, he is already 87 years old! A general who has served in the army, even if the Tao is profound, it is difficult to delay the truth of prolonging his life by practicing the secret wounds accumulated over the years! It must be known that the monk who has been in the army for the longest time is only 112 years old! Such a character?
Zhang Sen closed his eyes and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
In the dream, Zhang Sen rode a long whip, and the sword was pointed. Destroy the wither!
