After seeing off Lord Xinling, Zheng Anping and Wei Daliang returned to the back house to rest under the guidance of their disciple Yue An. There are three seats in the back house, with straw spread underneath and quilt pillows above. Zheng Anping is in the east, Daliang Wei is in the west, and Yue An is in the middle.
The three of them exchanged greetings at the door, entered the room one by one, and lay down in front of their respective tables. Yue An said: "If you have any trouble, sir or sir, just call me to serve you!"
Daliang Wei said: "I was depressed and lost my mind all the way. After a good sleep, I felt refreshed. My father is a national soldier. I have to serve under the sect of Mr. Wei, and he has found his place. I don't know what medicine he used. Why is it so wonderful?" "
Yue An said: "The items are very cheap. They are just like jujubes, cypress seeds and peach stones. The most valuable ones are dragon bone ears."
Captain Daliang asked: "What is the dragon bone? Is it the bone of a fruit dragon?"
Yue An said: "Dragon bones are born with Ksitigarbha, they can be big or small, and they are unpredictable. I don't know where they come from, but those who get them are lucky. Therefore, they are precious and rare."
Captain Daliang asked: "How did your father get it?"
Yue An said: "Zhongfu traveled around and made many friends. But if something came out, he would ask for it at a high price, so he got it."
Daliang Wei said: "I heard that cinnabar is also a soothing product. Is it true? No?"
Yue An said: "Yes."
Daliang Wei said: "It's like a lonely disease. Can you get it and obey it?"
Yue An said: "The cinnabar is like a master, and it is not suitable for doctors to have convulsions in panic."
Captain Daliang said: "But it's like this. I understand! There is quite a lot of cinnabar in the Yu Mansion. Does your father care about it?"
Yue An said: "Cinnabarum is used as medicine. It cannot be used unless it is refined. If it is mixed with other substances, it will kill people. It is given by the doctor and must be of high quality."
Daliang Wei said: "But it is difficult to use the remaining ears of weaving and dyeing as medicine. Where did your father's cinnabar come from?"
Yue An said: "Although cinnabar is expensive, it is not in short supply in the market. If you encounter any fine ones, Father Zhong will take care of them yourself. If the young master puts the fine ones in the treasury, he will also give them to you from time to time."
Daliang Wei said: "The essence hidden in the Young Master's Mansion must be a hundred times better than that of my Mansion."
Yue An said: "But you can't choose one out of a hundred."
Daliang Wei said: "When I return home alone, I will select the best person to give him as a gift to reward today's virtue."
Yue An said: "Doctor is like this, Father Zhong is uneasy!"
Daliang Wei said: "It's hard to pay for it just in case." As if he realized that there was someone else in the room, Daliang Wei said: "I am fortunate to live in the same room with Mr. Zheng. I dare to invite you to meet me."
Yue An said: "Liang Lieutenant is lying high and cannot be introduced. Mr. Zheng Anping sacrificed his life to save Mr. Xinling, but was seriously injured by an assassin. Fortunately, nothing happened now."
When Zheng Anping heard the mention of him, he had already sat up from the table. Seeing that Yue An had finished his introduction, he quickly walked to Daliang Wei's table, bowed and saluted, and said: "Zheng Anping, a soldier of Liangxi Post, hereby honors Daliang Wei's orders!"
Lieutenant Daliang sat up and said: "Young Master, why are you sitting here like this? I'm so lucky to be in the same room with you and chat with each other."
Zheng Anping said: "I am a commoner, but I don't dare to sit on the throne of Daliang Lieutenant."
Daliang Wei said: "Young Master doesn't care about his own safety in times of danger. He is a loyal and righteous servant. I don't respect the Young Master's title and honor the Young Master's righteousness. But it's okay to sit down."
Zheng Anping knelt down in front of the table and said: "I really don't dare to be called a prince. It's okay for Daliang Wei to call Anping by his humble name."
Daliang Wei said: "It's a blessing that I and the young master live together in the same room when they encounter each other and are in danger. The young master forgets himself when he sees justice, and I deeply respect him. I would like to be acquainted with the young master, and I hope that the young master will not say goodbye."
Zheng Anping said: "How lucky am I to be in the same room as Captain Daliang? How can I say anything if I don't expect it?"
Daliang Wei said: "Young master is skilled in etiquette and must be a scholar. You are recovering from the injury, but you are sitting on the ground, lonely and uneasy. May you lie down and talk loudly, just like the story of Shicai Yuesheng."
When Zheng Anping saw that Captain Daliang mentioned the conversation with Yue An, he couldn't say anything more, so he had to retreat to his seat, bowed deeply and said, "I obey Captain Daliang's order!" He turned over and lay down.
Captain Daliang asked: "Liang Xiyi should be controlled by Captain Ximen?"
Zheng Anping said: "When I enter the city, I will only report to the west gate guards and Daliang gate guards."
Daliang Wei asked: "Who is the official of Liangxi Station?"
Zheng Anping said: "Post official Ma San."
Daliang Wei said: "Ma San? The young master is loyal and defends the emperor with his own body, and his merits are not small. I will be rewarded when I report my merits in the future."
Zheng Anping said: "Thank you, Captain Daliang!"
Yue An said: "Mr. Zheng was severely injured, and fortunately his heart was not injured. I am very happy to be in such good health now."
Zheng Anping said: "Thanks to all the gentlemen for saving me, I will never forget your great kindness. I will repay you later!"
Yue An said: "I can't sleep at night. I would like to hear the details of Mr. Zheng's rescue of Mr. Xinling!"
Zheng Anping excused himself and said, "This is an easy thing to do, but it's of no use!"
Captain Daliang said: "It's hard to sleep alone, I'd like to hear the details!"
Zheng Anping saw that he could not evade, so he had to say: "On that day, I was waiting at the tent, and three people entered the tent to work for the army. I seemed to have seen these three people before, and they looked like sharp soldiers from the Qin people outside the abandoned city. While he was hesitating, a man walked straight towards the young master. The minister then shouted, "There is an assassin" and rushed forward. The latter two people abandoned the young master and stabbed the minister with their swords. The minister was hit by two swords and hit his head hard again, and fainted to the ground. I don't know what happened. Afterwards, the young master praised him, I promise to be loyal, but it is hard for me to be a minister."
Captain Daliang said in surprise: "It's ridiculous that something like this happened in the military camp! Who was the camp commander at that time?"
Zheng Anping said: "I don't know. The camp was newly established, with civilians and military personnel mixed together. Doctor Jin and Mr. Mang are also in the camp."
Daliang Wei said: "Do you know Doctor Jin and Mr. Mang?"
Zheng Anping said: "When the young master left the city, the Jin doctor went to the post first, and Zheng Quanyi was the young master's vanguard. Then he followed the doctor on a gallop, so we got to know each other. When they arrived at the gate, the doctor ordered Quanyi to follow Mr. Mang out of the city as a military envoy, and the ministers followed him. The longest, so I know it.”
Yue An said: "These three people look like Qin Rui Shi. How did the young master know them?"
Zheng Anping said: "This is also a strange thing. We followed Mr. Mang out of the city, and he placed military envoys along the way to communicate news. Finally, I was placed outside the abandoned city, only ten miles away from General Mang's camp. It was dusk. Five people came along the river bank. I hid in the grass and could not see them. I saw that they were carrying long and short swords, and they were walking like one, so I knew they were Qin Ruishi. Under the moonlight, I could see his face in a trance. Later he was General Mang. The sentry was frightened and retreated. The next day he arrived at the small town and peeped from a distance. Therefore, when the three men entered the account, they were vaguely Qin Rui Shi. Therefore, they shouted out, and luckily they succeeded. "
Yue An said: "Have you met Qin Ruishi before?"
Zheng Anping said: "I have never seen it in person, but I have heard it."
Yue An said: "Young man has little knowledge, dare I ask what Qin Ruishi looks like?"
Zheng Anping said: "I heard that the Qin Dynasty's elite selects capable men to learn the art of swordsmanship. If they become successful, they will grant their wives and acres of land, send people to cultivate them, and then pay their taxes. Each man wears two swords, one short and one long, which is unusual. It’s all people can have.”
Yue An said: "This is quite similar to Wei Wuzu."
Zheng Anping said: "No. Martial soldiers are accustomed to fighting with crossbows and halberds, not swords. They cultivate their own acres in their spare time, but they just return to their homes."
Daliang Wei said: "Young master, I think to myself, who is braver or Qin Ruishi?"
Zheng Anping said: "Outside the abandoned city, the ministers were hiding in the dark. They were assisted by sentries and wounded one of them with a crossbow, but they did not fight. Later, in the tent, the situation was urgent and they had no money, and they could not fight. It’s a matter of confrontation. So I dare not call him brave.”
Daliang Wei said: "From what I can see, the bravery of the young master is better than that of many others! When there are few of us, the young master is hiding in the dark without others knowing, and his wisdom is superior. The situation in the tent is urgent, and at the critical moment, the young master will Angry and resolving a dangerous situation, this is the courage to win."
Zheng Anping said: "How can a minister be worthy of the doctor's opinion?"
