After stepping onto the carriage, Erzhuang's body finally couldn't hold on anymore and he fainted again.
After walking for most of the day, Erzhuang woke up faintly. When he opened his eyes, he saw the military doctor teasing Lin Zi, who made Lin Zi laugh crisply.
Erzhuang's mood had stabilized a lot at this time, but when he thought of his dead family members and teachers, he felt an unbearable pain in his heart that made him breathless.
When the military doctor saw that the two men had woken up, he smiled kindly and said, "I am the cavalry doctor Yang Zhenglin at Ningguan. The general didn't ask me and I can't talk too much. I don't know my brother's surname."
Erzhuang propped himself up with his arms and slowly sat up. He was a little surprised. His injuries seemed to be much better. Most of the pain in his body disappeared, and his whole body regained strength.
He squeezed out a smile and said, "The junior's name is Zhou Shan, and this child is my nephew's name Zhou Lin."
Yang Zhenglin seemed to be very happy when he heard this. He raised Lin Zi high and said with a smile: "So your name also has the word "Lin" in it. How come we are so close to each other?"
Lin Zi was not afraid at all and even chuckled at Yang Zhenglin, which made Er Zhuang a little surprised.
Er Zhuang suddenly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Thank you, senior, for your life-saving grace. Without the help of the general and senior, the junior uncle and nephew may have become dinner for wild beasts at this time."
Yang Zhenglin didn't expect Er Zhuang to show up, so he quickly put Lin Zi down and helped Er Zhuang up.
"Your injuries haven't completely healed yet. Try not to move and rest for a while. If you want to thank the general, just thank the general. I'm just a military doctor. I just follow orders." Yang Zhenglin still said calmly, holding his hand while Lin Zi hugged him, and Lin Zi cooperated and let him hold her.
Er Zhuang shook his head stubbornly and said: "Senior's kindness is the same as that of the general, and this junior has nothing to repay." Before Yang Zhenglin could speak, Er Zhuang asked his doubts: "I wonder how long I have been unconscious for this junior? Why do I feel that all the injuries in my body have healed?" It’s almost done.”
Yang Zhenglin said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Half a day."
Erzhuang's eyes widened and he said in shock: "Senior cured the junior's injury in just half a day? Senior is really a miracle doctor!"
At this time, Yang Zhenglin's expression became very embarrassed. He said with some embarrassment: "Although I have also used some methods, you can't even hope to recover within ten and a half months of my methods. I wonder if it's because of the pills you took before. , your body recovered very quickly, I just checked and found that there is nothing serious."
Pill! teacher…
Er Zhuang's thoughts were once again drawn back to the previous scene with Sun Zheping in the forest, and his face was filled with sadness.
Yang Zhenglin looked at it and then looked at the baby in his arms. His heart was full of sympathy for the uncle and nephew who had miserable life experiences. After a moment, he suddenly said: "Brother, I wonder if I can ask you something."
Erzhuang's sad mood was interrupted, he rubbed his face and said seriously: "Senior, please, I will tell you everything I know."
"It's not an important matter. I just want to ask my brother where he got the elixir. The one who can refine the elixir is the real miraculous doctor. I yearn for it very much." Yang Zhenglin asked with an excited look on his face. There is light flashing.
Erzhuang sighed softly and said: "The elixir I took before was given by my teacher. I don't know where this elixir came from or which master it was."
Erzhuang can now guess a thing or two about the origin of this elixir, but the matter is of great importance, and he naturally cannot tell an outsider, so he can only pretend to be confused.
Yang Zhenglin's regret was all written on his face. He also knew that Er Zhuang's teacher probably died in the woods before, and there was no chance to explore the matter of the elixir.
Erzhuang didn't know what to do, and the car suddenly became quiet.
"It's okay. I'm just longing for the miracle doctor and want to find out. In fact, I may not be able to do anything if I know. Now that you're awake, I'll notify the general." Yang Zhenglin calmed down and said.
He handed the forest back to Er Zhuang, then opened the curtain and left the carriage shed. Er Zhuang only saw Yang Zhenglin jump up and disappear from sight. This was on the moving carriage, and Yang Zhenglin's skills as a military doctor were not there. Under the second strong.
When Er Zhuang opened the side curtain and looked out, Yang Zhenglin was already riding on a war horse. When he clamped his feet on the horse's belly, the horse began to gallop forward and lost sight of it in an instant.
It didn't take long for an order to spread among the Ningguan cavalry, and Erzhuang naturally heard it: "Discover the whereabouts of the Qinghe Army and be ready for battle at any time!"
…
A village fifty miles away to the north of Beidou City is now full of Qinghe troops. The original villagers in the village were driven away by the Qinghe troops, and those who refused to leave were all transformed into dead souls.
After the Qinghe army entered the village, they sent heavy troops to guard the entrances of each village. Others entered the village to rest, and every house was crowded with Qinghe soldiers.
It was already night now, but only one person lived in the largest house in the village. The handsome man whom Yashiro Kira called Yusheng was looking up at the stars in a daze. He was the villager he ordered to drive away. If Yakashi Kira will definitely drive out all the villagers here.
Yusheng's full name is Yusheng Yutoki. He is a Qinghe divine master. Among the many masters of Qinghe, Yusheng is considered a good person.
He does not bully the weak and does not like to kill innocent people indiscriminately. He will even take action when encountering any injustice. Such a kind-hearted person is definitely an outlier among the Qinghe army. In his heart, he does not agree with Qinghe's plan against Taichu. But because of his identity, he could only obey.
There are no Qinghe soldiers inside or outside the house where Yusei Yusei lives. He doesn't like to be disturbed and doesn't need guards.
He looked back at Kong and said to himself: "Why hasn't General Baqiu arrived yet? Did some accident happen?"
"Forget it, it's okay if you don't come back. If you destroy the city under my command, all life in Beidou City will be saved."
"Shikigami: Hollow!" As Utoki Yusei chanted, a group of spiritual bodies appeared in his hands. This thing looked like a dark cloud, constantly changing, with no fixed form.
Yusei Yutoki gently pointed his finger on the group of spiritual bodies. The spiritual body trembled slightly, and then countless identical spiritual bodies separated from it, covering the entire courtyard.
"Tomorrow Yin Shizhong will attack Beidou City!" Yusei Yusei said calmly. As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit bodies covering the courtyard suddenly flew up and flew in all directions. They spread out in the village and stopped in mid-air.
At this time, Qing Hebing had not yet fallen asleep. Everyone outside saw the spirits in the sky. They were all accustomed to these spirits, and no one showed any surprise.
"Tomorrow Yin Shizhong attacks Beidou City!" Yusheng Yusei's voice came out from the spirit body. The voice was not loud. It was controlled within the scope of the village. It could not be heard a few feet away from the village. Don't worry about it. The spies heard the leak nearby.
After passing on the news, those spiritual bodies all disappeared one by one, and Kong regained his composure again.
…
In the backyard of the Beidou City Guards Commander's Mansion, a young and handsome man wearing the armor of a City Guards general was walking out anxiously, when a woman strode forward and stopped in front of him.
The woman looks to have just passed her prime. She is wearing a plain gauze skirt. She is beautiful but a little thin. Her appearance is similar to Jiang Huaishi, but her temperament is completely different.
Her name is Jiang Huai Hua, the eldest daughter of Jiang Ling, the commander of the City Guards, and the eldest sister of Jiang Huai Shi and Jiang Huai Shu. Unlike his younger brothers and sisters, Jiang Huaihua was frail and sick since he was a child, and he did not have the talent to practice martial arts or cultivation. Jiang Ling has always cared more about his eldest daughter than his other children.
The young man looked helpless and said: "Hua'er, it's useless for you to trick me here. Now the war is coming. As the deputy general of the city guard, I must go into battle with the robes to kill the burden."
The man's name is Zhao Mingtang. He is the deputy general of the Beidou City Guards. He has just passed his prime. He and Jiang Huaihua love each other. They are already engaged, but the situation is tense and the marriage cannot be consummated. His official position is not that Jiang Ling seeks power for personal gain. But there is real talent and practical learning.
Jiang Huaihua still kept her arms open and stopped in front of Zhao Mingtang. She said with a worried look: "Mingtang, the battlefield is full of dangers. I don't allow you to go. Otherwise, you can take me with you. You and I will live and die together!" "
Looking at his fiancée's appearance, Zhao Mingtang felt soft in his heart. He stepped forward and held Jiang Huaihua in his arms. He said in a gentle tone: "Silly girl, I was just going to fight to kill the enemy. You don't know martial arts." , If I take you with me, we will really risk our lives. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Jiang Huaihua struggled a little when she was held in the arms of her sweetheart, but she couldn't break away. Feeling the familiar heartbeat, her arms involuntarily wrapped around Zhao Mingtang's waist.
Hearing Zhao Mingtang's words, Jiang Huaihua looked up at Zhao Mingtang, pouted and muttered resentfully: "You dislike me!"
Zhao Mingtang's eyes were also looking down at Jiang Huai Hua. The two lovers looked at each other. Zhao Mingtang couldn't help but kiss Jiang Huai Hua's lips. Jiang Huai Hua didn't refuse and greeted him shyly.
Just as the two were kissing passionately, a maid hurriedly ran from the front yard into the backyard. She was not surprised when she saw the two kissing, and said hurriedly: "Sister, uncle, the master is back!"
When Jiang Huaihua heard what the maid said, she immediately pushed Zhao Mingtang away. She said anxiously: "My father is back, what should I do?"
Zhao Mingtang said confidently: "Don't worry, Hua'er, let me handle it."
There was a rush of footsteps from the Weeping Flower Gate, and a middle-aged general walked into the backyard. It was Jiangling.
When Jiang Ling entered the backyard, he saw his daughter and future son-in-law standing in the courtyard. The maid Xing looked a little panicked.
Jiang Ling, dressed in military uniform, walked into the courtyard without any movement. Jiang Huai Hua and others pretended to just know he had entered, with a hint of surprise on their faces.
When Jiang Huaihua saw his father, he stepped forward and saluted obediently: "Huaihua has met father."
Zhao Mingtang followed closely and gave a military salute to Jiangling: "General Zhao Mingtang pays homage to the commander-in-chief."
Because Xing had just seen Jiang Ling in the front yard, she did not say hello again, but bowed slightly and saluted.
Jiang Ling waved his hand and said, "We are all members of our own family, so there is no need to be polite." Then he looked at Zhao Mingtang and said, "Mingtang, why didn't I see you just now? Why did you come to look for Huai Hua when the war is about to begin?"
Jiang Huaihua was a little panicked when he heard this. Even if his father pampered him again, if he knew that he wouldfully deceived Mingtang into the house and refused to let him participate in the war, what awaited him would be a storm of reprimands from his father.
"I am reporting to the commander-in-chief that the war is about to begin. I am worried that something unexpected will happen, so I came here to see Huai Hua to avoid regret. I know that I am wrong, please punish me!" Zhao Mingtang knelt down on one knee and said with some guilt.
Hearing this, Jiang Ling frowned at first and then seemed to have figured something out. He said in a gentle tone: "Mingtang, you have never encountered such a battle since you joined the army. Some of your thoughts are normal. I will not punish you for your first offense this time. It will not be the case next time." , go back quickly!"
Zhao Mingtang was overjoyed when he heard this and said goodbye.
Jiang Ling looked back at Zhao Mingtang's leaving figure. After Zhao Mingtang left, he turned his head and said with a smile: "This bastard will definitely be a good husband in the future."
When Jiang Ling turned his head to look at Jiang Huai Hua, his face immediately darkened. The change in his father's face made Jiang Huai Hua stunned.
Jiang Ling said angrily: "How can a father not know what kind of temper this Mingtang son has? My father can also guess the reason why he came to the house today. If he behaves like this next time, he will really make his father angry!"
"My daughter doesn't dare anymore, please calm down her father." Jiang Huai Hua hurriedly stepped forward and shook Jiang Ling's arm.
Jiang Ling looked at his eldest daughter with a doting look on his face and shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do about this somewhat delicate daughter.
Now that Beidou City is fully prepared, Jiang Ling actually wants to see the only child around him again before the war.
