At this moment, Gao Jingshi didn't know that he had already been labeled as an easy target in the mind of a certain little lolita. He comforted Zhang Jin and Gao Mo, and then exchanged a few polite words with Liu Wei. Nearly thirty people The team began to return the same way.
When they returned to the three-way intersection, they saw that the thieves had already dispersed, and even the cleaning of the battlefield was almost finished.
Thanks to the twelfth lunar month in the middle of winter, although sixty or seventy people from the three parties had died together, the body odor was not strong. Now the dead thieves have all been piled together, looking like they were ready to be burned.
This sight was still a bit disgusting for Gao Pragmatic. Fortunately, his stomach was empty at the moment, and he had the slightest intention of retching, so he was forced to suppress it.
Liu Wei quietly observed for a while and nodded secretly: This young master from the Gao family is a little different from the common young masters from civil servant families. Although he still likes to pull something from time to time, he can do it without hesitation when being coerced. He is submissive, can be tolerant and generous when dealing with the mistakes of his subordinates, and does not make a fuss like some trash when seeing such a bloody scene. He is indeed a person worth befriending.
Of course, I am a bit younger, but I have to look at it separately at a young age - at this young age, I have such a sense of things, no matter how bad I am in the future, how bad can I be?
As for what his sister had said before, Liu Wei just ignored it. In his opinion, although his sister is smart, she is a little girl's family after all. How many outsiders can she come into contact with? How could she think a man could be as accurate as me?
After thinking about it, this guy actually got excited. He walked over and patted Gao Pragmatic's little shoulder: "Brother Gao, have you ever killed anyone?"
Gao Pragmatic was startled and shook his head quickly: "No, no, I'm a scholar and I'm young. How can I kill someone if I'm so good?"
Liu Wei suddenly looked regretful: "Then wouldn't your life have lost a lot of fun? Let me tell you, killing is not much different from killing chickens and dogs, but after you actually kill, what will happen in your heart? The feeling is still very different. I haven’t killed anyone more than a year ago, but since I went to the battlefield with my father, I have fallen in love with this feeling..."
Gao Pingshi felt a little frightened when he heard this. He looked at Liu Wei secretly and thought to himself: Isn't this guy a BIAN with a twisted mentality?
Liu Wei was completely unaware of Gao Pragmatic's reaction, and said to himself: "Think about it, those people are as weak as women, and they dare to show their knives at me. Do you think I am angry or not?" Big? Then I rushed over and gave each of them a knife, cutting them all in half. How fucking refreshing is this?"
Gao Pingshi laughed dryly and said reluctantly: "I heard that tigers in the mountains generally don't attack people as long as they don't walk towards it... I think Brother Zishou's tiger power is similar to this tiger. It's amazing, it's amazing. .”
Liu Qi asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing?" Then he touched his chin, which actually had no hair at all, and nodded: "But I think it makes sense... Brother Gao is indeed a scholar and knowledgeable. ah."
"Haha..." Gao Pingshi continued to smile like a spring breeze, but thought in his heart: I am so knowledgeable, I am just messing around.
While the two of them were talking, they had already approached Liu Xian, who was directing the burning of the thief's corpse with his back to them.
Liu Xian seemed to have ears on the back of his head. He turned around and glanced briefly at his son before focusing on Gao Pragmatic.
Gao Pragmatic took the initiative to step forward and bowed his hands: "Xinzheng civilian Gao Pragmatic has met General Liu."
Of course Gao Pragmatic knew that the status of today's literati was much higher than that of military men, but after all, he was only eight years old and had not even taken the exam to become a scholar. There was nothing wrong with calling himself a commoner. Even though the other party is in the state of "dismissal pending inspection", his actual official status is much higher than him - dismissal pending inspection only means removing the official position, such as the position of General Soldier of Langshan, and some other honorary positions and even titles are usually added. For the time being, they will not be removed together. They will not be dealt with until the results of the court's handling are known.
For example, Liu Xian actually still holds the title of Governor General of the Nanjing Governor's Office, but because Gao Pragmatic didn't know his title, he simply called him General Liu.
After all, Liu Xian had been in the imperial court for decades, and his political consciousness was not comparable to that of Liu Wei, a rough young boy. A smile appeared on his face at that moment, and he actually returned the salute seriously and said: "Young Master Gao, there is no need to polite."
Gao pragmatic knew that Liu Xian already knew his life experience, and was not very surprised by this. He only glanced at the corpses of the thieves and asked: "General Liu, what are the casualties between us and the enemy?"
Liu Xian looked solemn and sighed slightly: "The thieves left forty-seven corpses. The number of injuries is not clear, but it is estimated to be twenty or thirty. Six of our troops were wounded and one died, and one of them was seriously injured, at least one arm." It can’t be saved. Eleven of your guards were injured, two of them were seriously injured, but they were not killed in the battle. In addition, the two female relatives of Mr. Gao are safe and sound."
Because of Gao Jingshi's age, the word "female family" in Liu Xian's mouth actually had no other meaning. However, Gao Jingshi was still not used to hearing it and subconsciously explained: "Oh, that was arranged by Jia Ci for My two maids have been following me for several years... I hope they are safe."
Liu Xian obviously had no interest in the two pragmatic little girls, so he directly changed the topic: "Your escort has brought some medicine for sores and bruises, but I took a look and found that most of them are good medicine. , but it may not be as good as the medicine we brought, so I took it upon myself to give them some of our medicine, I hope Mr. Gao won’t be offended.”
The Zhang family guard is Zhang Siwei's person. Although Gao Jingshi is Zhang Siwei's nephew, he lives in Gaofu after all, so Gao Jingshi has no idea about the Zhang family guard carrying medicine. After hearing this, he just nodded subconsciously, and then He asked slightly curiously: "General Liu seems to be quite confident in the medicine he carries. If it does not involve family inheritance confidentiality and other reasons, I would also like to know something about it."
Although Liu Xian was a little surprised, he still smiled and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to Gao Pangshi, and explained: "It's not a secret magic medicine, but a kind of medicine produced in the Miao territory of Yunnan. The medicine is called Panax notoginseng, and the powder in this bottle is Panax notoginseng. It was originally a medicine commonly used by the Miao people to disperse blood stasis and stop bleeding. In the past, I accidentally learned about this medicine when I was conquering the southwestern barbarians. At that time, there were many casualties in the army and the roads No way, the medicine is extremely scarce, so I have to use it as a last resort. However, after trying it on the injured, I found that it has a miraculous effect... Mr. Gao also knows that I am a soldier and have been in charge of soldiers for many years. Since this medicine is effective, I will always keep it. A few, for emergencies.”
Gao Pingshi was overjoyed and secretly said: Panax notoginseng powder? Isn't that the main component of Yunnan Baiyao in later generations? This is a good thing, known as the holy product of traumatology.
At that time, Gao Pragmatic's father was a soldier. He brought back the habit from the army. He always kept Yunnan Baiyao at home. He often boasted about the miraculous effects of using Yunnan Baiyao after various injuries in the army. "As long as blood-related injuries occur, once you swallow the Yunnan Baiyao Insurance Pills, your life will basically be saved", "Internal injuries should be taken with alcohol", "Trauma will stop bleeding, and the medicine will stop the bleeding" and so on, making it very pragmatic. This Yunnan specialty is also quite awe-inspiring.
"Since this thing is so effective, I have a cruel request. I wonder if General Liu is willing to part with me..."
Liu Xian smiled and said: "Young Master Gao, you are too polite. If you need it, just take it. In fact, it is not difficult to get this thing... The place where this thing is produced is a chieftain who keeps it all year round." Treat it as a donation and pay it to the Duke of Guizhou in Yunnan, but the Duke of Guizhou doesn't need much, so there are many rumors in the market in Yunnan, but the road is a little longer, so you don't need to be so polite."
