After all, Fu Yunhe's wound was not deep, and Han Qixia took care of it in a short while. After binding him with a white cloth, she told him: "Rest these days, and don't eat spicy food... Barbecue, alcohol, etc., should be avoided for the time being. "
Before Fu Yunhe said anything, Yu Xiufan's shoulders had already slumped, and the disappointment on his face couldn't be concealed. Hey, it seems that the barbecue is hopeless for the time being, but...
"Little Crane, although you can't eat barbecue, you can't save the rice you promised!" Yu Xiufan said bluntly.
"No problem." Fu Yunhe agreed, "Cousin Xia, are you done with your work? Why don't you come and eat with us?"
"Let's go!" Yu Xiufan couldn't wait to chime in, "No matter how busy you are, you have to let people eat! It's rare that the little crane made a great contribution, which made us feel happy, maybe it will be my turn next time I have a treat with Xiao Xizi."
Chang Huaixi is no stranger to Yu Xiufan's familiarity and cheekiness after getting along for a while... Moreover, the flat food that Fu Yunhe invited last time was indeed delicious. Chang Huaixi suddenly felt a little hungry.
In the past, Han Qixia might still need to care about the defense of men and women, but now she has no scruples. After a moment of hesitation, she agreed.
"Let's go! I'll treat you to a delicious meal." Fu Yunhe greeted enthusiastically, but left a half-sentence without saying a word.
Several young people left the wounded barracks with smiles and Yanyan, and followed Fu Yunhe.
The four of them didn't even ride horses, they arrived at the place Fu Yunhe said after walking for a cup of tea, and the sweet and tempting fragrance came to their nostrils...
Han Qixia was startled, and immediately smelled it: "Brother He, are these roasted sweet potatoes?"
"Sweet potato?" Yu Xiufan asked curiously, with a look of ignorance of five grains and six animals, "What is a sweet potato? Why haven't I eaten it?"
Han Qixia's expression was a little weird, and she explained: "Sweet potatoes come from overseas, also known as sweet potatoes, because they are easy to grow, so farmers in Dayu will also grow some..." Ordinary people mostly use them to feed pigs.
Han Qixia thought about it, and felt that it was better to conceal this part. Of course she didn't know about sweet potatoes before, but as Lin Jingchen lived among ordinary people for half a year, she naturally knew about these things.
She said modestly: "Baked sweet potatoes are quite delicious."
Fu Yunhe smiled at Han Qixia tacitly, with a naughty look in his eyes, and shouted to the owner of the stall with a smile: "Boss, four roasted sweet potatoes, four bowls of sweet potato porridge, plus a serving of cold sweet potato leaves .”
Roasted sweet potatoes and sweet potato porridge are ready-made at the stall. After a while, the boss brought them up. Only the cold sweet potato leaves need to be boiled in hot water before seasoning and serving.
Following Fu Yunhe's example, Yu Xiufan peeled off the bark-like skin on the surface of the roasted sweet potato, revealing the golden-yellow sweet potato flesh underneath. The hot air came with a sweet smell, and Yu Xiufan took a mouthful , hot and enjoyable.
He didn't care about eating appearance, he gobbled up that roasted sweet potato in one go, in comparison, Chang Huaixi was more refined than him, but he couldn't let go of the "potato".
"Little Crane, you really know how to find food." Yu Xiufan praised without hesitation, "You are simply a glutton."
"That's natural." Fu Yunhe lifted his chin proudly, "When you're away from home, everything is already simple, why don't you let yourself eat something good?"
Yu Xiufan nodded with an expression of being educated, and drank the sweet potato porridge in a huff.
Han Qixia, who was sipping roasted sweet potatoes through a green handkerchief, tilted her head slightly, and a smile flickered under her long eyelashes.
Cousin He is still the same, seemingly informal, but he has his own persistence.
She and Fu Yunhe are cousins, and they played together when they were young, but men and women have different seats at seven years old. As they grow older, they naturally drift away... I vaguely remember when I was young, I don’t know who deliberately laughed at Fu Yunhe for his love of eating girls The sweet-scented osmanthus cake I ate drew ridicule and laughter from other people, but Fu Yunhe said nonchalantly: "It's good as long as it's delicious! There's no distinction between men and women..." He also said that the other party was naive, and then he continued to do his own way.
Thinking about it, the smile in Han Qixia's eyes grew stronger. Although everyone has grown up now, they are still the person in memory in their bones.
After eating roasted sweet potatoes, drinking sweet potato porridge, and eating refreshing cold sweet potato leaves to relieve the sweet and greasy taste, the four of them ate to their heart's content.
Yu Xiufan wiped his mouth and said jokingly, "Little Hezi, why don't I just hang out with you from now on, and you just have to worry about my stutter."
Fu Yunhe looked at him pretending to be disgusted, shook his head and said, "No way! After raising you, don't you want to raise your daughter-in-law, your son, your grandson..."
Chang Huaixi couldn't suppress a muffled laugh anymore, turned his face to the side, and his shoulders were shaking.
They were joking and joking. From a distance, they saw a group of people escorting two carriages driving towards this side, and they couldn't help being attracted.
Although the distance was too far to see clearly the clothes and descriptions of the accompanying people, Fu Yunhe knew it was for the military when he looked at the carriage, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that Luoyue City sent supplies?"
Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi also looked at each other.
The two carriages approached gradually, and one could see that the escorts on dozens of tall horses were wearing light soft armor, and they were indeed the Southern Border Army.
The leader was a big black-faced man with a cold face, as if strangers were not allowed to enter.
Hey, I'm still an acquaintance!
Fu Yunhe couldn't help laughing, before he could say hello to the other party, the other party also saw him, pulled the horse rope and slowed down the speed of the horse, and shouted in surprise: "Master Fu, this is really a coincidence." Saying that, he Turning off the horse, she also saw Han Qixia sitting next to Fu Yunhe, her expression was even more surprised, "Miss Han, you are also here... Doesn't that mean that Mrs. Lin is also in Yanding City?"
"Yes." Fu Yunhe replied with a smile on behalf of Han Qixia, "Old Master Lin and Cousin Xia just happened to come to pick medicine nearby, and my elder brother and I ran into each other, so I simply invited them to stay in Yanding City for a while. Zhou Dacheng, you This trip is... "
"I'm here to deliver medicine under the order of Old General Tian." Zhou Dacheng clasped his fists and replied, winking at Fu Yunhe.
Fu Yunhe immediately understood that it must be the sister-in-law who delivered the medicine here in the name of Tian He.
"Anyway, my cousin and I are going back to the Garrison Mansion, why don't you give us a ride?" Fu Yunhe said with a smile.
Zhou Dacheng naturally agreed, and asked the two accompanying soldiers to give up their horses to Han Qixia and Fu Yunhe, and they sat next to the coachman.
The carriage continued to move forward, and then gradually went away... After a while, Yu Xiufan yelled lamentably: "Oops, I forgot to ask Xiao Hezi to pay." Copper plates settled the bill.
A group of chariots and horses came straight to the defense mansion, and Zhou Dacheng and Fu Yunhe went to the outer study to meet Xiao Yi.
"My lord," Zhou Dacheng said respectfully, "This time, my concubine ordered my subordinates to send more than 10,000 pills, 50 pills in a small porcelain bottle, a total of 201 bottles. The rest are being prepared." Hurry up."
Xiao Yi pondered for a while, and said: "Recently, the number of people who are not acclimatized to the environment has increased unabated, 10,000 can only solve a temporary emergency, you go back and ask Old General Tian to prepare more." He deliberately said to "Old General Tian" The volume of the four words is emphasized.
"Yes, Shi Ziye." Zhou Dacheng accepted the order with his fists clasped, but he didn't really understand why Shi Ziye didn't directly inform Shi Zifei.
That is to say, the medicine sent this time is to treat acclimatization? Big brother is really ready! Fu Yunhe on the side raised his eyebrows, and thought: It seems that I have made a good estimate. The elder brother posted notices in the city, which made the teacher mobilize the crowd. Sure enough, he had other plans.
It's a pity, a pity, I just went out and missed half of the good show... Fortunately, there is still the most important second half to watch!
Xiao Yi then looked at Fu Yunhe, "Little Hezi, go and tell Li Shoubei that the medicine from Luoyue City has arrived, and let him distribute it to the Cruising Camp, First Boarding Camp and Selection Camp first, so that if they feel unwell, Take the medicine immediately."
"yes, Sir."
Fu Yunhe took the order to retreat, and before he could go outside, he heard the impatient voice of his elder brother: "Zhou Dacheng, where are my things?"
The implication is clearly that, hurry up and take out the things that the sister-in-law brought privately!
Fu Yunhe couldn't help grinning.
It's nice to be like big brother and big sister! Presumably Liu Niang and A Xin are having a good time too, right
Fu Yunhe was only emotional for a moment, then his mind turned to the business, and he hurried to find Li Shoubei.
That day, near dusk, the medicines were scattered and distributed to each battalion. After being divided into three battalions, there were only two hundred bottles left for each battalion. Of course, it was impossible to distribute one bottle to each person. A bottle is divided into ten cents, and the medicine is temporarily kept by the ten chief.
But that's it, enough for the soldiers to be happy.
Over the past few days, fellow comrades around me have been showing symptoms of acclimatization. Although it is not life-threatening, it is a lot of pressure on other soldiers in the camp. I always wonder if it will be my turn next.
As soon as a short man returned to the cruising camp after taking the medicine, his soldiers surrounded him and said in one go:
"Excuse me, did you get the medicine? I don't think there are many medicines."
"Look at Shi Chang's smile like a flower, you must have it."
"Then I'm at ease."
"..."
"Finally, there is medicine." One of the fat men said loudly, "I really don't eat well and sleep well these days, I'm afraid that I will be the one who will be recruited tomorrow!"
The mustache beside the fat man also relaxed a lot, and he was in the mood to joke, saying: "Fatty Hong, I am thin and frail, even if I want to get sick, it will be my turn first. Look at your well-developed limbs, you can't get sick .”
"Fatty Hong, he said you have well-developed limbs and a simple mind!" Another soldier also came to join in the fun.
A group of people were chatting and laughing, and the whole cruising camp felt a lot easier, the same goes for the first boarding camp and the selection camp.
It was not dark yet, not only the soldiers stationed in Yanding City knew about it, but also most of the people in the city, and they all felt as if a huge stone had fallen from their hearts. The soldiers of the Southern Border Army were well. Only the people in Dingcheng can get better!
News spreads to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand...
Before I knew it, it spread outside the city...
In the prisoner-of-war camp, the Nanliang prisoners wearing heavy shackles were falling asleep, snoring loudly. Those captives from Nanliang who surrendered at the beginning are now assigned to Yanding and Yongjia to build cities. Especially in Yanding City, a new urn city is being built on the outskirts, and when manpower is needed, these captives have to work for at least nine hours a day, and everyone is exhausted. Eating and sleeping, there is almost no energy to do other things, think about other things, and every day passes in a muddle...
At this time, two soldiers of the Southern Border Army in armor came to take over the shifts with the soldiers guarding outside the camp. One of the tall soldiers opened the curtain and swept into the camp. Nodded: "The number is correct, they all slept like dead pigs."
"I'm exhausted, let's go back to sleep first..." The original two soldiers yawned and were about to leave when the bearded man stopped suddenly and turned to the tall soldier, "Old Su?" Ah, I heard that Luoyue City sent medicine here today? Did you get any of it?"
"How can it be!" said the tall soldier helplessly, "Recently, there are the most people who are not acclimatized to the cruising camp, the first boarding camp, and the front camp. The superiors said that Luoyue City is still rushing to produce a batch of new medicines, and they will be sent to Yanding City soon, so you don't have to worry about it anymore..."
"Then I'm afraid we'll have to wait three to five days." Qiuranhu sighed, "I still have to be careful recently, the last time I went to the wounded barracks, I saw a few people vomited and diarrhea for two or three days, and they were almost out of shape. !"
"Let's go." Qiubeard's companion urged impatiently, "I have to go back to sleep."
The two soldiers walked away after speaking, and the surroundings became quiet again, only the two remaining shifts stayed outside the camp, listening to the snoring in the camp from time to time.
The tall soldier complained angrily: "These Nanliang people sleep well!"
None of them noticed that there was a person in the tent who was facing the tent and opened his eyes suddenly. His deep and dark eyes were full of haze. It was Langma, the Ninth King of Nanliang.
A cold and sly smile appeared on the corner of Langma's mouth, in which there was a trace of excitement, complacency, and impatience.
Those stupid Dayu people, he wants to see how long they can laugh, he will definitely repay the humiliation they have inflicted on him!
Now, the Southern Border Army has already stepped into their Nanliang trap... that day is not far away!
Lang Ma closed his eyes again, as if seeing the scene when Southern Border was captured by his Nanliang army...
The night passed quickly amidst the snoring of the crowd, and before I knew it, the sky outside was bright again.
"Get up, get up quickly!"
"Hurry up and get to work!"
"Hurry up… "
Amid the impatient urging of the soldiers guarding the prisoner camp, the Nanliang prisoners in several camps were called up. They put on their outer robes indiscriminately, and went to the river to wash up casually. One person took a celadon bowl and made a bowl of rice soup and water respectively, and was driven out of the city by the soldiers like a flock of sheep to work.
The construction site of the Wengcheng was in a mess, with bricks and sand everywhere. Although it was still early, there were already many people on the construction site.
In addition to these Nanliang captives who worked, there were also many civilians in Yanding City, but the work of the common people was much easier than that of the Nanliang captives. They only worked for three and a half hours a day, and they took care of their three meals a day.
Therefore, most of the civilians who came here to work were very active. They could not wait to come to the construction site early in the morning every day. On the one hand, they wanted to build the Wengcheng quickly, and on the other hand, they also wanted to save some rations for their families.
At this time, there was still a cup of tea before work, and most of the people were sitting on the ground or chatting on stones... Among a group of civilians dressed in coarse cloth, a young man in a blue robe stood out from the crowd. No one spoke, but stood alone far away, looking at everyone with a bit of disdain in their eyes.
Nine King Langma pretended to be sitting on the ground drinking rice soup, but from the corner of his eyes, he secretly focused on the young master.
Langma knew that the other party was Qiao Shenyu, and he didn't know which mansion was sent to practice in the army, but he was a disappointment, and he didn't know what errands he failed, so he was sent to the place where the urn city was built to work as a coolie .
After this Qiao Shenyu came, he sometimes complained of suffering, sometimes he was tired, and he still put on airs. In a few days, he offended all the Dayu civilians and the Dayu soldiers who were in charge of overseeing the work, and no one would pay attention to him on weekdays.
Langma pretended to complain to Qiao Shenyu inadvertently, and finally managed to get in touch with him. These days, because she was able to promise a few words with him, the relationship between the two gradually became more harmonious. Chatted for a while—however, Qiao Shenyu knew that he was a prisoner of Nanliang, so he complained to himself, talking about how bad Yanding City was, but he didn't want to talk to himself about anything else...
Langma didn't expect to know any confidential military information from Qiao Shenyu, he just thought that Qiao Shenyu might be a pawn that could be used.
After drinking the last sip of rice soup, Lang Mahuo stood up abruptly, intending to go over to say hello and talk to Qiao Shenyu, but unexpectedly there was a commotion all around.
I don't know who pointed in the direction of the official road and shouted: "It seems to be the sound of horseshoes... someone is coming!"
Several soldiers of the Southern Border Army, who were supervisors nearby, surrounded them. Some of them held the handles of their knives vigilantly guarding the prisoners, while others also looked in the direction of the approaching people.
I saw seven or eight people galloping in the direction of Yanding City on tall horses. Immediately, these knights looked like they were from Nanliang.
The Nanliang captives were refreshed, and one of the dark Nanliang soldiers shouted excitedly: "General Ikaluo must have sent envoys over!"
"Great, the general must save us back!"
"..."
Those thin and emaciated soldiers from Nanliang all had bright faces, and hope flashed in their originally dull eyes.
Only Lang Ma was neither happy nor angry nor anxious nor frightened, a faint light of unknown meaning flashed in her dark and deep eyes.
"Quiet, give me all quiet!" a Shi Chang sternly reprimanded.
The surroundings became quiet again. At the same time, the seven or eight envoys from Nanliang had already arrived at a place about ten feet away from the gate of Yanding City. With his hands on standby, the arrow that gleamed coldly in the sun was aimed at the Nanliang envoys below the city gate.
The Nanliang envoys who came this time were still led by Tu Wugu.
Last time, Tu Wugu came here with full confidence, thinking that he could take advantage of the opportunity of the peace talks between the two countries to make meritorious service, but who knew that the son of Zhennan Prince was a reckless person, and he didn't even give him the opportunity to go to the city for a detailed discussion. As a result, he could only go back to Dengli City in despair, and lost face in front of General Ikaluo and other generals.
This time, seeing that General Ikaluo planned to send envoys to Yanding City again, Tu Wugu immediately volunteered, intending to clean up his past shame.
Tu Wugu raised his eyes and looked up, and said loudly: "I am Tu Wugu, the envoy under the command of Marshal Ikaluo of Nanliang, and I am here to ask the prince of Zhennan to discuss the exchange of the Nine Kings by my commander's order!"
On the high city wall, a young lieutenant in charge of guarding the city gate looked down at Tu Wugu and the others coldly, and said sharply: "Our son said that we will not accept any negotiation except surrender and return to the city! Last time If you don't die, don't you want to taste the feeling of a thousand arrows piercing your heart?!"
His face was shrouded in frost, and there was an undisguised sarcasm in his tone.
Tu Wu was so angry that he held his breath in his chest, but when he thought of the purpose of this trip, he suppressed it again, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought: These Dayu people really think that he is afraid of them in Nanliang!
The last time I came here in a good mood and wanted to sit down and talk with them, but they just toasted and refused to drink fine wine, so this time I will not be polite.
Tu Wugu shouted loudly: "I am ordered by my commander to pass on a message, if the prince of Zhennan agrees to exchange the nine kings, then everything can be discussed in the war between the two countries, otherwise, the next day will be when our Nanliang army will approach the city! "
