Everyone except Meng Changqing was puzzled. Why are you talking about this?
Doesn't this persuade the soldiers not to follow her?
Xi Bei coughed twice and was about to give Meng Changqing a few words of advice when she heard Meng Changqing say, "If you withdraw now, there will be no punishment."
Before, I could just walk away dozens of people with one sentence.
As soon as these words came out, there were only thirty people left on the scene.
Meng Changqing clicked twice and found exactly thirty people.
Xi Bei turned sideways and said to Wei Fangyun, "Master Wei, please call me back again."
Wei Fangyun nodded, "I'll..."
Before he finished speaking, Meng Changqing asked loudly: "Why don't you leave?"
Xi Bei really wanted to hit him, but if he hadn't been concerned that it wouldn't take long for him to recover from his injury, he would have done it.
There were thirty soldiers standing under the high platform. You looked at me and I looked at you. One of the men standing in the front row stepped forward.
This man was wearing armor and holding a spear in his hand. He said: "Yang Zheng, the captain of the cavalry school in Xiatun, once served under General Meng and is willing to follow Mr. Meng!"
As soon as he said this, the remaining twenty-nine people also shouted: "I am willing to follow Mr. Meng!"
What they called was not Mr. Meng, but Mr. Meng. This showed that her father was really good. Thirteen years after his death, there were still people who were willing to give up their future and follow his 'son'.
"Okay!" Meng Changqing said excitedly: "I want you. You hurry back to your tent and pack your bags. After burning incense, you will leave the camp with me."
"yes!"
The people around the high platform dispersed, Wei Fangyun frowned and said: "Changqing, the emperor asked you to select a hundred people in the Liangzhou military camp. No matter if they are willing or not, as long as you choose them, they cannot resist the order or disrespect the order.
Why did you do this, only need thirty people? "
"Uncle." Meng Changqing corrected, "I asked for thirty people first, and the remaining seventy people will be collected by me next time."
"Okay, if you feel you don't have enough manpower when you get to Beishan County, send me a message at any time and I will send the remaining people to you."
"Thank you uncle."
It was already past lunch time when the people were selected, and Wei Fangyun did not think of arranging for them to have a meal. He hurriedly compiled the information of the thirty people into a book, handed it to her, and let her go first.
After taking thirty people out of the camp, Meng Changqing asked her master to check the list and hid in the carriage to eat cakes.
The small curtain on the car window was blown up by the wind, and at that moment, Meng Changqing happened to meet Chu Mufeng's eyes.
Chu Mufeng saw her eating cake!
Chu Mufeng, who was riding a horse, pretended to clear his throat and turned his head to look away uncomfortably.
Meng Changqing quickly wiped off the crumbs around her mouth, picked the smallest piece of cake among her own, wrapped it in oil paper, and handed it out through the car window. She whispered: "Mr. Bai is hungry too, first. Eat a piece of cake to cushion your stomach."
Chu Mufeng hesitated for a while, then drove his horse closer to the carriage and took the cake from her hand, "Thank you, Master Meng."
After a while, her master Xi Bei came and said, "Changqing, your name and place of origin are correct. Come back to the city!"
"Back to the city."
Going back was much slower than when we came. There was no urging from Wei Fangyun, and there was a team of thirty people following behind. Twenty of the people in the team had no horses to ride on, so they could only walk slowly.
Inside the post office, Doctor Hu was stopped again by Lai Cai.
"I don't need Madam's thank you gift, okay? Just let me go." Doctor Hu was about to step out with his luggage on his back.
"No." Lai Cai firmly blocked the door, "Madam said, you must accept this thank you gift."
"Then bring me the thank you gift."
"No, the thank you gift is with Madam."
Doctor Hu was so angry that he slammed the table, "Then let me go see Madam! Why should you stay and torture me!"
"No, Madam has something to do now. I won't have time to see you until later."
"Wait until what time? I've been waiting since morning until now!"
"Don't be anxious." Laicai advised him, "I won't let you go anyway. It's so angry that it hurts your body. Why do you have to hold it against yourself?"
Doctor Hu looked at him and gave him a thumbs up, "Okay, I finally know why Meng Changqing doesn't take you anywhere."
Lai Cai: "Because I am stable enough, the young master said."
"Lai Cai." Wen's voice sounded outside the house, and Wen was helped by Liang Jiujiu and walked towards this side.
"Madam, you are here, this stupid piece of wood has been blocking me all day." Before Wen could say anything, Doctor Hu immediately said his farewell words.
"Doctor Hu, don't worry, please read this letter." Wen took out a folded letter from his sleeve. The envelope was still sealed and had obviously not been opened.
Doctor Hu was wary of the letter, "What is that? Forget it, I don't..."
"You'd better take a look. This is the thank you gift I want to give you." Wen took two steps forward and put the letter in Doctor Hu's hand.
Doctor Hu lowered his head and saw the writing on the envelope. Isn't this his wife's writing?
I quickly opened it and took a look. The main content of the letter was: I know that you have gone to Liangzhou. Our mother and daughter have also set off and are currently halfway. I hope you will wait at the post house in Liangzhou City after receiving the letter.
Doctor Hu pointed to the contents of the letter and asked Wen, "Why?"
Wen said: "There is more than one way from the capital to Liangzhou. I'm worried that you and your wife and daughter will get sidetracked, so why not wait here."
Doctor Hu was furious, "I wholeheartedly serve your Meng family, why did you trick my wife and daughter into coming here?"
"I'm not lying. I wrote to your wife and told her about the situation Changqing will face. Your wife also thinks it would be better for you to stay in Liangzhou." Wen knelt down to Doctor Hu, "I implore you to stay , she cannot seek medical advice without you.
I don't dare to be greedy and ask you to stay with her all the time. I just ask that you can protect her for another year.
When she grows up, whether she can return to Beijing or not, I will never stop you again. "
Doctor Hu's hands clenched and then unclenched, then clenched and then unclenched. He did not avoid Wen's kneeling, so he was destined to be unable to avoid this request. "One year, I only stay in Liangzhou for one year, and I only stay in Liangzhou city. Unless Meng Changqing is about to die soon, otherwise, no matter what the situation, let her come here to treat herself."
"Thank you, Doctor Hu." Wen took out another folded piece of paper from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Doctor Hu.
"What is this?"
"I've rented a medicine shop for you in Liangzhou City. This is the contract." Wen said, "You can stay here for a year and make a living by selling medicine."
Doctor Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, you really have a plan."
Meng Changqing counted the time and finally saw the city wall of Liangzhou Prefecture around four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Master, there are many people gathered at the door in front. I don't know what's going on." Bafang, who was driving, reported the situation outside. "Master wants to go over and take a look first."
"Go ahead."
After a while, Xi Bei came back and said, "The city gate was blocked. Those people were refugees coming from the east gate. They were afraid that they would break into the city and cause trouble. The officers and soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to open the door."
