Dawn symbolizes the dawn.
From a medical point of view, this is also the time of day when it is easiest to replenish yang energy.
As for what Yang Qi is, you can think of it as the vitality of life; what later generations call health preservation is actually nourishing Yang Qi.
The tunnel leading directly to the hunting ground was dug through just before dawn.
The question before everyone was who to choose to pick up the wounded; according to Zhu Li's opinion, he naturally planned to go and take a look in person, so that he could feel at ease.
However, his decision was unanimously opposed by his subordinates; Zhu Ya, who was now extremely domineering and wise, was even more unwilling to let his elder brother take any more risks.
Just when I was struggling with this problem, several figures suddenly walked out of the dark curtain that had not yet been brightened.
The two people in front were the ghost guards on duty, and behind the ghost guards, there were three more people; obviously, these three people were brought by the ghost guards.
Looking up, I saw one of them, with a tall hat and a high beard, and fluttering clothes. It was Zhu Qia, who had not been heard from since the battle in Shangjing.
On Zhu Qia's left hand side was a big monk with a shiny head and a big belly. This monk had a tattered bag on his shoulder. He was the monk with the bag bag who had helped Zhu Li out of danger many times.
And on Zhu Qia's right hand side, the old Taoist holding a green bamboo, isn't he He Wuyun, the bamboo-beating master who is one of the five immortals in the world and has an inseparable relationship with Zhu Li
Seeing the three people, Zhu Li waved them away without waiting for the ghost guards to report, and greeted them excitedly, saying happily: "Two Taoist priests, Master Budai, why are you here?"
"How could we not come?"
Seeing Zhu Li, Zhu Qia and the other two were obviously relieved, as if they had let go of something. Zhu Qia looked at Zhu Li with a complicated expression and said, "A few days ago, I observed the stars at night and found that the star of generals was dim in the northwest. I calculated with my fingers and realized that several generals would die in this spring search by the imperial court."
"What worries me most is that the brightest star that represents you, the general, is also shrouded in haze and is about to fall."
"I was so worried that I immediately notified my two good friends from the Lotus Society and rushed to Chang'an without stopping. We didn't feel relieved until we found the general's camp and saw that you were safe and sound."
"Yes, we are relieved to see that General, you are in good health." Ji Zhuzi quickly agreed.
"Amitabha, Buddha is merciful. The general is a righteous man and will naturally not be disturbed by evil spirits." The monk Budai looked solemn and also breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Li didn't believe in the nonsense about observing the celestial phenomena at night and the fact that the star representing him was crumbling.
But for this reason, the three of them rushed to Chang'an without stopping, just to confirm his safety, which touched him deeply.
A gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away may be insignificant, but the thought behind it is valuable. It is the kindness of a person that is most valuable.
But his disbelief did not mean that others did not believe it. A charming figure suddenly stepped forward, bowed to Zhu Qia and the other two, and asked anxiously, "Master, in your opinion, will the general be in trouble?"
The person asking the question was naturally Qian Muran. It cannot be said that she was superstitious. Being born in this era, she naturally has the limitations of this era.
What's more, Qian Muran is a princess of Tubo, which was a country where Buddhism was popular before its demise. Zhu Li is her sweetheart, so she naturally cares more about Zhu Qia's words than Zhu Li does.
Of course, she was not the only one who looked nervous. People like Zhu Ya, Li Gufeng, Qing Ruo, Yue Yun, etc. all had serious expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they cared very much about what Zhu Qia said.
Hearing Qian Muran's inquiry, Zhu Qia hesitated for a while before speaking: "Now the world is in chaos and war is everywhere. It is a sign of troubled times. Since ancient times, generals in troubled times have been unpredictable. It is useless for you to worry."
"The general rose to prominence when he was young, fought many battles throughout his life, and achieved numerous feats. It can be said without exaggeration that there is no general in the world who can match him."
"As the king of generals in this era, it is normal for the general to face danger."
"What's more, judging from the general's face, he was destined to die young. It is a miracle that he has survived until now. It can be seen that what can determine the general's life and death is not the danger itself, but the general's own heart!" Zhu Qia looked at Zhu Li meaningfully and with a complicated expression.
In this world, there are very few people who can live a smooth life. Everyone hopes that good luck will come to them when they encounter difficulties and that good luck will come to them when they encounter misfortunes.
To achieve good fortune, the person involved must work hard on his own.
God helps those who help themselves. These classic words left by the ancestors of the Chinese nation are by no means empty words.
From what Zhu Qia said, Zhu Li might be in danger of death this time; that was why the three of them rushed here in a hurry.
"Hahaha, Taoist, your words are profound. I'll learn from them." Zhu Li himself did not take the other party's words to heart at all. How could the young people of later generations who received materialistic education believe in idealism
What's more, Zhu Li has always believed that everything depends on human efforts. No matter what, he will do his best. Even if he cannot see the perfect result, the scenery along the way is also a timeless and long-lasting beauty, worth savoring and cherishing, isn't it
"Please come in and sit for a while. I'll take care of some military affairs and then I'll treat you all to a drink." Zhu Li bowed to the three people apologetically.
Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. The important thing is to quickly arrange people and go to the hunting ground.
"Well, I wonder what's the important matter, General?" Seeing that Zhu Li looked like he was worried about something, Ji Zhuzi asked hurriedly.
Before Zhu Li could speak, Qing Ruo, the quick-talking little girl, immediately gave a brief account of the situation. When the three heard it, Zhu Qia immediately said, "General, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, naturally cannot put himself in danger."
"Besides, even if the general goes there, facing the seriously injured, will the general be able to treat them?"
"Of course not, but I will find a way to send them out." Zhu Li agreed somewhat helplessly.
If he really encountered his brothers who suffered serious injuries, he would not care about being the first in the hunting competition. The lives of his brothers were obviously more important than hunting.
"The general is kind, no wonder all the soldiers in Heshuo regard him as a father or brother; people are all made of flesh and blood, if you want others to be sincere and trustworthy, you naturally have to be open-hearted to others, and the general has done just that, which is really admirable."
"But if the general sends the people out, he will definitely be criticized. The current situation is chaotic. Once he is criticized, he will inevitably be attacked. In comparison, it seems that the gain does not outweigh the loss."
"Even if I am attacked by others, I will not let my brothers die in vain." Zhu Li said decisively with a resolute look on his face.
In fact, he knew this very well, but everyone has his own principles; Zhu Li's principle was naturally to have a clear conscience.
For him, any soldier from Heshuo must be valuable even if he has to sacrifice. He cannot let his generals die in vain just because the court wants to weaken the power of the vassal states. He can't do such a thing no matter what.
"Why don't I, the Taoist priest, take care of the general. I think my medical skills are pretty good. With the help of Brother He and the monk, even if the general's generals only have a breath left, I can guarantee that I can bring them back safely. What do you think?" Zhu Qia immediately asked, looking at Zhu Li intently.
"But the Taoist priest has just arrived, how can I let you take risks?" Zhu Li looked ashamed, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"General, there is no need to say more. Let's make arrangements quickly. Saving lives is like putting out a fire. We must seize the time." Ji Zhuzi said resolutely.
"That's right, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The great monk should also accumulate some merits." The cloth bag monk echoed repeatedly.
At this point, if Zhu Li continued to be polite, it would seem hypocritical; judging from the current situation, the three of them were undoubtedly the most appropriate people to go and provide support.
Since the three insisted on doing so, Zhu Li could only keep this kindness in mind. He hesitated for a while before speaking: "In addition to the leading general, each hunting team has seven elite warriors."
"For this support, what I mean is to replace a few of the seven ghost guards in our Heshuo hunting team. Since the two Taoist priests and the master are going, I will let Commander Gufeng go with the three of them, so that we can exchange four brothers."
This is indeed a method. Normal people may only care about the leading generals. Who would care about some soldiers? Replacing all the soldiers with masters without anyone noticing can indeed achieve the effect of flooding the sky and the sea.
Of course, it can also improve the overall combat effectiveness and survivability of the hunting team; naturally, other people have no objection to Zhu Li's strategy, which is obviously the safest method.
But before he finished speaking, when Li Gufeng just stepped out to answer the call, four figures appeared again from the darkness. These four people were none other than Yuchi Jin, He Ruobi, Wen Lan and Yang Guang.
.
Although Zhu Li's Heshuo camp was heavily guarded, it was almost defenseless against his wife Yuchi Jin. Although Yuchi Jin had once refused to marry Zhu Li, in the eyes of the people below, it was just a temper tantrum between the two.
What's more, Zhu Li never said anything about guarding against someone from Youzhou, which naturally contributed to the spread of this speculation. Who in the Heshuo camp dares to stop the future mistress of Heshuo
"General Zhu Li, since you have a way to enter the hunting ground, could you please help me bring two people in?" As soon as Yuchi Jinfu appeared, he quickly glanced at Zhu Li, then looked up to the sky and said.
She was indeed a little embarrassed, because this time, she not only came to ask Zhu Li for help, but also was suspected of taking advantage of him; there was no other reason, because the two people she was going to send to the hunting ground were two foodie girls, how could she not be suspected of taking advantage
In fact, she also had her own difficulties, which was that there was no one available; she herself had to stay in the camp, and He Ruobi had to command the Youzhou guards heading north to Chang'an. After all the calculations, the people she trusted the most were only Wenlan and Yangguang.
Yuchi Jin counted the generals under Zhu Li's command, which made her guess that if Zhu Li sent people to the hunting ground, Li Gufeng, the leader of the Ghost Guards, would definitely be one of the candidates.
Who is Li Gufeng
This person is the third senior brother of Longhu Mountain, and also the third senior brother of Wenlan and Yangguang.
Leaving the two little girls to be taken care of by their senior brothers, such an arrangement will definitely not go wrong. Even if there are headaches, they will be Li Gufeng and Zhu Li who have to worry about them. Wouldn't she be suspected of taking advantage
It was with this in mind that she felt a little embarrassed; she pretended to look up to the sky proudly just to hide her embarrassment.
It was she who made Zhu Li lose face in front of the whole world; but in the end, she still had to come and ask Zhu Li for help. Isn't it embarrassing
"Well, Madam Yuchi." Zhu Qia, Ji Zhuzi and Budai Monk hurriedly greeted Yuchi Jin politely upon seeing her. No matter what had happened between them and Zhu Li, if we only talk about their relationship, they are friends, so the minimum courtesy is inevitable.
"Madam, are you going to send people to the hunting ground too?" Ji Zhuzi asked knowingly, and of course, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Hehe, that's right. If it goes, please take care of us, Taoist Priest." Yuchi Jin naturally knew that the other party was just teasing her on purpose, so she didn't get angry. Instead, she bowed and asked solemnly.
"Okay, okay. I wonder which two generals will go?" Zhu Qia did not tease Yuchi Jin, but asked directly.
No matter what, in Zhu Qia's eyes, Yuchi Jin was an extraordinary woman who could fight on horseback and govern on foot. Such a woman would impress people no matter where she was, so naturally he would not deliberately tease her.
But before he could finish his words, and before Yuchi Jin could respond, Wenlan and Yangguang immediately jumped in front of Li Gufeng like two happy little rabbits.
The two of them took each side and immediately took Li Gufeng's arm and said happily: "Third Brother, I heard that the hunting is very intense. We really want to go and see it. It's such a fun thing. Senior Brother will not take us with him, right?"
"Yes, Brother, Master often said that only by broadening our horizons can we practice. Since you and your sisters are eager to make progress, you must take us to have a look."
The two of them didn't even look at anyone else and went straight to Li Gufeng. They said they wanted to go to the hunting ground to broaden their horizons. Even if everyone was stupid, they knew who Yuchi Jin had sent.
As soon as he saw the two little girls, two black lines immediately appeared on the forehead of Taoist Zhu Qia; Ji Zhuzi no longer cared about teasing Yuchi Jin, and pointed at Wenlan and Yangguang, the two little girls who were still wet behind the ears, and looked at Yuchi Jin with disbelief.
The meaning was very clear. He was asking Yuchi Jin, you are not going to send these two young ladies, are you? But facing Yuchi Jin's somewhat ashamed and helpless eyes, Ji Zhuzi finally confirmed that he had unfortunately guessed right.
As for Zhu Li, ever since Yuchi Jin appeared, he has been staring at him infatuatedly, as if everything happening in the outside world has nothing to do with him.
Since I love you deeply, as long as you are not married, I will wait, silently.
No matter how reluctant Zhu Qia and the other two were, the candidates were decided naturally; the group of six immediately put on the masks of ghost guards and entered the cave.
In the darkness before dawn, everyone is speechless, perhaps only the staring figures are particularly eye-catching!
