"Amu, do you remember Mr. Mushi?" Bai Chongshan's question interrupted Bai Ruxue's distant memories.

"Why don't you remember? He is now the president of the 'Islamic state' and the generalissimo of the soldiers. Aren't we where we are today thanks to him?" Bai Ruxue complained. In fact, she was full of contradictions about Mr. Mushi in her heart. On the one hand, it was he who taught her literacy and hyphenation and upper-class martial arts, and she was no longer a foolish village girl and a lamb slaughtered by the residents. But it was the same he who indirectly made her fall into the abyss of a killer.

She didn't know whether to thank him or hate him.

Half a year after Mr. Mu Shi left, in the sixth year of Xianfeng, under the influence and promotion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, a great rebellion against the Qing Dynasty broke out among the Hui, Han, Bai and Yi ethnic groups in western Yunnan, led by Du Hongbin, a talented Hui person. He was elected "Generalissimo of the President". The rebel army captured a total of 53 cities in western and southern Yunnan and established the Dali regime.

Everywhere the rebel army went, it "killed officials and pacified the people", and the military discipline was strict, and it was deeply supported by the people. This move spread throughout the southwest and shook the imperial court.

The news reached the 'Ghost Valley' medicine village.

"Du Hongbin, generalissimo of soldiers and horses, is it really him? Mr. Mu Shi that the officers and soldiers want to arrest?" Hearing this, thinking of the notebook left by Mr. Mu Shi, Bai Chongshan couldn't help but be suspicious. Du Hongbin...... Isn't Du Zi a Mushi when he takes it apart? He can hide it deep enough!"

"A few days ago, he sent two large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, worth 10,000 gold, saying that he was grateful to us for taking care of him over the years, and compensating the 'Guigu' Medicine Village for the intrusion and losses of the official army because of his reasons. He is really a gentleman who is true to his word and knows how to repay his kindness. In addition, he hopes that the 'Ghost Valley' medicine village will join his rebel army and help him. I only promised that I would consider it, and collected and gave him sacks of herbs to heal knife and arrow wounds and prevent malaria from cold, dampness, and wind. Shirae Mountain Road.

"Whether he is Mr. Mu Shi or Generalissimo Du Hongbin, I also think he is a good person, a person who can do great things, and a trustworthy person, a hero who is full of wealth and can stand up to the sky. Bai Ru objectively analyzed, "It is said that he rebelled against the tyrants of the imperial court and killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials. However, we in the 'Ghost Valley' Medicine Village must not join his rebel army. Because Mr. Mu Shi himself knows that even Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, who has an elite army of 400,000 iron cavalry, has not succeeded in rebelling, and the group of 200,000 rabble he leads who have not undergone strict military training and are lax in discipline will definitely not be able to become a climate, and if he wants to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, it is simply whimsical. It's just that I'm afraid that he is now difficult to ride a tiger, and the arrow has come out, and there is no turning back when he opens the bow. The imperial court is mobilizing a large army from the north to prepare for the complete annihilation of them. In fact, with the officers and soldiers of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, it would not take much effort to suppress and eliminate them, but these governors and governors were unwilling to cut down his cash cow too early, and they could continue to stretch out their hands to the court to ask for military expenses and grain and grass. If we openly help him and take 10,000 steps back, he overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty and has his own dynasty, and his close relatives and subordinates can be crowned kings and marquis, hereditary wealth and glory, and we are just the imperial doctors in his palace, who serve the royal family all day long, and if we make a slight mistake, we will be questioned and killed. Therefore, we can't let the Wumeng family and the more than 800 villagers in the village take a second risk for him. At most, we can only help him secretly, but we can't leave any clues, so as not to settle accounts after the autumn of the imperial court. Besides, Ada must have felt that the eagle dogs of the government had already set their sights on our cottage, and any of our unusual movements could escape their eyes? I even suspect that there are eyes and ears in the cottage that have been bought by the imperial court, otherwise, the 'Guigu' medicine village is so biased, how could Mr. Mu Shi's whereabouts be exposed? Also, Ada can't think of it? That Du Hongbin actually had a secret relationship with Governor Xu Zhiming. I suspect that they must be using each other and deceiving each other in order to protect their own interests. We can't afford to mess with either of them, so we'd better not wade into their troubled waters. ”

"I'm a little skeptical about that, too. Therefore, the people who received him this time entered the village, afraid that there would be extraneous branches and make the cottage unpeaceful, so I only let a few reliable people know about the participation. I'm old, you've grown up, and you'll be in charge of many things in the cottage in the future. If you don't do it with Mr. Mushi, how to help him, just do what you want. Bai Chongshan admired his daughter's assessment of the current situation, and he was hesitant to join the rebel army, he wanted to help Mr. Mu Shi, but he also knew that the risk was extremely high. His daughter's words gave him a clear context.
