"A troubled autumn," Jiang Hong said in a very euphemistic way. The past six months have not been a troubled autumn. Floods occurred frequently in various places in the south of the Yangtze River in the spring and summer. Officials were seriously ill and left the palace, the fourth master of the capital was in charge of the country, and Ningqian Mansion flooded Yongjing County. Grain depot, I don’t know how Leng Dalang is doing...

Wu Sishen looked at Jiang Hong, who was still a little distracted, and considered how to continue. He mentioned food and grass just to give him a reason to talk. He didn't need to tell Jiang Hong how difficult it was for Fifth Master to arrange food and grass in the capital. I didn't come here just for food.

"We will set off at the beginning of the day after tomorrow." Wu Sishen thought carefully and decided to tell the truth. This is the best way to confront Jiang Hong. Jiang Hong frowned slightly, lowered his fingers and raised them again, pressed his hands to stop Wu Sishen, and stood He stood up a few steps and walked into the back tent, then came back out in a blink of an eye. He took out a handful of yarrow in his hand and waved his hand to Wu Sishen to signal him to stop talking. Wu Sishen found it very funny and moved on the chair to settle down and wait. Watch to see what tricks Jiang Hong plays.

Jiang Hong made a divination with a serious expression, collected the yarrow, and said with a smile on his face: "The divination says that although this battle will be difficult, it will be a good one, so go ahead with peace of mind." Wu Sishen's brows almost flew up, and he picked up a handful. Throwing yarrow and trying to gag him and put him back? This Jiang Hong is getting more and more cunning!

"I never believe this!" Wu Sishen said categorically: "If you can make a decision just by throwing these few straws, then the world will be peaceful. You don't have to do anything. Just throw the straws and wait!" Jiang Hong said one by one. After arranging the handful of yarrow carefully, he glanced at Wu Sishen and said with a smile: "It's not about making a decision, it's about seeing whether there are opportunities for a person or a thing. To use the simplest metaphor, look at this pot on my table. Narcissus, I know how to raise it, and I raise it carefully every day. In the twelfth lunar month, it will bloom very good flowers. This is a lucky divination, and I am destined to meet it this winter. If it is an unlucky divination, then I have no chance to see it bloom this winter. I am still me, and I still raise it the same way. But maybe in the few days before it blooms, a wild cat comes and pounces on it, or the boy accidentally smashes it while changing the water. It, or other kinds of things, in short, I have no chance to see it bloom. If you work hard and achieve results, you have a chance. So you should understand, right?" Jiang Hongbian said that he collected the yarrow and stood up to send it in. In the inner tent, Wu Sishen was left pondering and speechless.

Jiang Hong came out, made tea again, and poured a cup for Wu Sishen. Wu Sishen picked it up and shook it a few times. He looked at the slightly yellow tea in the green-white, delicate and jade-like cup, took a sip, shook his head and smiled, "I really don't know what's going on with you. I just like to drink this kind of ancient tea, it has no taste at all! I still think Leicha is delicious." Jiang Hongyou's eyes were full of pain, he looked down at the fresh tea in his hand, and slowly took a sip. Next, Wu Sishen raised his head and drank the tea in the cup. He put down the cup and looked at Jiang Hong and said: "I have nothing to do today but go to the Three Treasures Hall." Wu Sishen stared at Jiang Hong. Jiang Hong looked at him calmly and raised his hand to signal. He said that Wu Sishen stood up, walked to the door of the tent, listened carefully, then came back and sat down and said, "I'm not worried."

Jiang Hong frowned slightly, was silent for a moment and said: "Although we have not known each other for a long time, we are very compatible with each other. If you have something to say, just listen to it as gossip, although I don't know what the relationship between you and the Marshal is," Jiang Hong Hong paused for a moment, then waved his hand to Wu Sishen who was about to speak: "Everyone has his or her own destiny. Things are like this. There is no need to explain this. You are now the Marshal's most trusted bodyguard. If you can succeed in a battle, go to After that, the general's journey will be almost smooth, but there is one thing. As a bodyguard, it is not your responsibility. You should not think too much or do too much. King Shou has servants, guards and staff around him, both civilized and military. What’s important is for someone to perform their duties. Besides,” Jiang Hong’s eyes were dark: “King Shou only pursues rule by doing nothing, and he is by no means an incompetent person. Since you follow him, you must trust him in everything. You have to tell me If you say that, it is not your responsibility, so there is no need to say more, and you should be careful in the future."

"Do you know what I want to say to you?" Wu Sishen said with a bit of sullenness. Jiang Hong had already said this, and he really blocked all the words that he could not say. Wu Sishen was so full that he didn't wait to become a teacher.

Feeling frustrated first, in order to save a little face from being robbed of opportunities, he quickly thought about it and found a reason for his visit: "You are good at everything, but you are too self-righteous."

Yes!" Wu Sishen said angrily and sarcastically: "I'm looking for you because I have a private matter that I want to entrust to you."

Wu Sishen told the story of his encounter with Yu Zhihong and Mr. Weng in Bei'an City after the Spring Festival: "...First, Mr. Weng was seriously ill. After Mr. Weng recovered, Bei'an City was no longer very stable. I was about to ask someone to kill them both."

Send them away, who knew that Yu Dalang suddenly fell ill, had a high fever, kept crying and talking nonsense, before I could find the right person to send them away from Bei'an City, Bei'an City fell, so I had to take him two

When we were evacuated together last time, Yu Dalang's illness lasted for half a year before he recovered. After he recovered," Wu Sixen paused: "Mr. Weng said that his temperament changed drastically. I didn't say a few words to Yu Dalang before he became ill.

I don’t know what his temperament was like in the past. I just see that he is taciturn now and knows how to advance and retreat. Mr. Weng meant to set off and rush back to the capital, but Yu Dalang came to me privately and said that he wanted to stay at the border to gain experience and temper his mind.

, Secondly, I also hope to take this opportunity to do my best for the country. I told Mr. Weng about this, and Mr. Weng fully agreed. In this way, Yu Dalang and Mr. Weng stayed at my place to help with paperwork.

Excellent. Although Yu Dalang is a little inferior in talent, he is young and willing to endure hardships, which also helped me a lot. This time I am going to go on an expedition with the commander. They two want to go with me, but after much thought,

It's better for the two of them not to go. If we leave them alone, we have no choice but to entrust them to you."

"Yu Dalang turns out to be in your army!" Jiang Hong said in surprise. Wu Sixen raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Hong in confusion. Jiang Hong smiled and said: "After the fall of Bei'an City, Yu Dalang lost contact with the Qingjiang Marquis Mansion in the capital. Qingjiang Marquis Mansion and Qingjiang Marquis Mansion

Mrs. Xu’s natal family is very anxious, it turns out that you hid the person."

"It's not my fault!" Wu Sishen hurriedly explained: "The fall of Bei'an City... you know, there are many things that can't be said. The two of them are following me to help with paperwork. Naturally, they have to avoid suspicion and do not communicate with the capital.

"

"I know," Jiang Hong smiled and waved his hand to stop Wu Sishen's explanation: "If you are at ease, let the two of them come over to my place. There are few people here. If you want to say one more thing, don't worry, please also ask Yu Dalang

Don't worry, Mr. He Weng. If you have any merit here, I will report it accordingly." Wu Sishen laughed and said, "They all say that the exquisite seven-aperture heart is yours! But you guessed wrong just now. Look, I'm looking for it.

This is what you are doing, not what you said. Those of you with exquisite hearts think too much and make everything too complicated!"

"Oh!" Jiang Hong let out a long "oh" and looked at Wu Sishen but smiled but said nothing. Wu Sishen was made uncomfortable by his penetrating eyes, and he jumped up and said, holding on to the armrest of the chair: "Okay, okay,

I don’t have as much free time as you! I have to go back and prepare quickly, so don’t say goodbye, you have good wine ready and wait for my triumphant return!”

"Absolutely!" Jiang Hong stood up and responded with a smile while sending Wu Sishen out of the tent. He stood outside the tent and stared at the heroic Wu Sishen with squinted eyes for a long time. He took a long breath and turned around.

He walked slowly around the tent, called the boy in and ordered: "Take half of the cakes and tea sent from the capital yesterday to General Zhu, and tell him again that I still have a few jars here.

Yutang spring wine, a top-quality cloud leg, I asked him when he would be free to come and taste it." The boy agreed, went in, divided some cakes and tea, put them in the box, and sent them to Zhu Mingrui, the prince of Chang'an.

In that unknown manor on the outskirts of Beijing, Li Tian's whole body was red and hot, and Qingzhi's eyes were sunken. He knelt down beside Li Tian, ​​anxiously staring at Li Tian's wrist stretched out outside the thick gauze curtain.

Holding a very small silver bowl in his hand, one hand used wet cotton to carefully moisten Li Tian's lips.

Outside the curtain, a thin old doctor was twirling his beard with one hand and pressing one hand on Li Tian's wrist covered with a silk handkerchief. He closed his eyes slightly and was conducting careful diagnosis. Huang Ming, the chamberlain, stood beside him with his hands lowered.

Her bloodshot eyes were staring at the old doctor, wishing she could reach out and open his eyes to see if his eyes were relaxed or nervous. Miss Li's fever has been going on for a day and a half and all night long. Ever since she heard her

From the moment he developed a fever, he was as anxious as if he was roasting on a fire. I have already said that Miss Li's illness must be caused by his poor care... Huang Ming swallowed the extremely bitter saliva, Miss Li's fever

If you don't retreat today, your life may be in danger tomorrow morning, and someone else will come over to serve you.

"Doctor Jiao, how are you?" Dr. Jiao let go of his hand, sighed softly and opened his eyes. Huang Ming asked hurriedly. Inside the curtain, green branches and silver birches straightened their upper bodies and tilted their ears to listen attentively.

"From the pulse point of view..." Dr. Jiao was interrupted by Huang Ming as soon as he started to speak: "Doctor Jiao only said it doesn't matter, and when the high fever will subside!" This sentence made Dr. Jiao almost choke.

Well, Dr. Jiao could only laugh and said: "This disease comes like a mountain, and goes away like a thread. There is no need to rush..." Huang Ming opened his mouth and held back, staring at Dr. Jiao impatiently, waiting for him

Moving on, Dr. Jiao did not dare to go around in circles, and quickly cut to the point: "This girl has taken good care of herself since childhood. Although the disease is severe, in my opinion, it is not harmful. As for this high fever," Dr. Jiao said.

Extremely cautious, he considered it back and forth and said: "If you go quickly, you may be able to go away tonight. If you go slowly, you should go away by the evening the day after tomorrow. It's just that everyone's body constitution is different. Some people have cold bodies and some have hot bodies. The girl is basically

Although it's good, this high fever... This is my first time to diagnose the girl. I don't know how many days it usually takes for the girl's fever to subside. It's hard to say whether it's faster or slower than ordinary people."

"You stupid doctor! You've been talking for a long time and it's all nonsense!" Qingzhi shouted from the curtain. Without waiting for Doctor Jiao to reply, Huang Ming hurriedly reprimanded: "Don't be rude! Be careful of family rules!" Qingzhi and

Yin Hua looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything more. The girl had told her that she could only look for opportunities to test and never confront her head-on. If she and Yin Hua brought the danger of leaking the news, they would never begrudge their lives.

, but the girl said that she couldn't bear to leave them, let alone live without them.

Dr. Jiao's face turned red at Qingzhi's extremely rude rebuke. He is a famous doctor who has been famous for many years! Dr. Jiao took several deep breaths and glanced at Huang Ming, who had a gloomy face. He was angry but did not dare to

Half a minute after he got angry, he was invited out of the capital. The car was jammed tightly and drove around countless times to get him here. Except for Huang Ming, no one could hear anyone along the way. However, Huang Ming was covered in blood.

Yin Shen was obviously a noble person, and the weirdness in this situation made him afraid to think too much. He was so silent even if he didn't think about it. He kept praying to Shen Nian Bodhisattva, just to bless him to return safely. How could he dare to care about it or be polite?

.

After seeing off Dr. Jiao, Huang Ming stood blankly under the big locust tree in the second gate with his hands behind his back and his head lowered. He thought of God. He said that a letter should be reported every hour, and now it was time to report it again.

The girl's condition has not improved at all...

In the small courtyard in the capital's household, the fourth prince looked haggard, as if he was suffering from a high fever. He drove the guards from the other courtyard, who were sweating profusely, to retreat silently. Before they even stepped down the steps, someone heard

After a heavy sound in the room, there was another harsh sound of breaking porcelain. I don't know what the fourth master kicked over.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the kang through the window lattice. Huang Ming, who was standing at the foot of the steps, patted his back with his hands behind his back. The girl's fever finally came down. The warm afterglow of the setting sun shone on his body, giving him a feeling of disaster.

The excitement and gratitude for the rest of my life.

Behind the window lattice, Qingzhi stared at Huang Ming through a narrow gap as he walked out of the hanging flower door. He breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily, turned around and motioned to Yin Hua to hand over a cushion for Li Tian to put behind him. Li Tian half sat up, illuminated by the afterglow.

The open window made her narrow her eyes involuntarily. Yin Hua quickly closed half of the curtains. Li Tian took a few sips of the sweet soup from Qing Zhi's hand and sighed softly: "It seems like I ate too much mustard."

." Qingzhi and Yinhua did not expect that this was the first thing Li Tian said when he woke up from a high fever. The two looked at each other, not knowing what to answer.

"I haven't eaten mustard for many years. Why is it getting bigger and stronger?" This coma made Li Tian's consciousness so trance-like that for a while, she could hardly tell which life she was in, or whether it was all an illusion.

In the dream: “I’ll have to eat less next time.”

"There's a next time!?" This time Qingzhi screamed, and this time she and Yinhua were almost frightened to death. What's next? There's no way to survive this day!

Li Tian rested his head on the pillow, closed his eyes and rested his mind for a while, without opening his eyes, and said slowly: "You two have always been by my side?"

"Of course!" Qingzhi Xin said decisively, and Li Tian frowned slightly: "I don't know when, um, you two kept your eyes open during the day?"

"Of course!" Yin Hua answered this time, squinting at Li Tian with an extremely depressed and speechless look: "From before dawn until dark, neither Sister Qingzhi nor I could close our eyes.

I haven’t even closed my eyes, and besides, I don’t know how many doctors have come here in the past two days. It’s really like running water. Even if I want to sleep, I don’t have time to sleep!”

"It was night then." Li Tian still didn't open her eyes. She had a high fever for two days and one night, and she was exhausted. "I seemed to wake up once, or more than once, and I felt someone standing next to me.

Next to it, it was very big and dark, like a dark cloud, staring down at me..."

"What the girl said is so scary!" Qingzhi interrupted Li Tian, ​​glanced at Yinhua and said: "Yinhua and I took turns sleeping at night, one for an hour, and the other looked at the girl and moisturized her lips.

, change the cold handkerchief to cool down, and the other just curls up at the girl's feet and sleeps for a while, where is there anyone?" Li Tian opened his eyes and glanced at Qingzhi, there are many ways to make them fall asleep for a while, Li Tian saw

Looking at the warm and bright window, he thought for a while and said: "Go and see how much fragrant powder we have." Green Branch and Silver Birch looked at me and I looked at you, both of them looked puzzled, and Silver Birch jumped off the kang.

After a while, he brought two porcelain bottles over and said, "Both bottles are full. The girl rarely uses perfume. These are enough for a whole year."

"Open it and let me take a look." Li Tian ordered. Yinhua opened a bottle and brought it to Li Tian. Li Tian glanced at it, then looked at the front of the kang and said: "We will rest on this kang tonight.

Before going to bed, quietly sprinkle a thin layer of this fragrant powder in front of the kang." After Li Tian gave the instructions, Qingzhi and Yinhua understood. Yinhua raised her eyebrows in surprise, and Qingzhi smiled and said, "Girls just have lots of ideas.

, just follow the girl’s instructions, this is the best way, I will measure the shoe prints tomorrow and you will know whether they are male or female.”

"You can tell whether it's a boy or a girl by measuring the shoe prints? Have you forgotten that Daqing's sister-in-law, who is the kitchen in our house, has bigger feet than a man!" Li Tianwen retreated, and Yinhua and Qingzhi felt relaxed and happy.

They were picking each other's faults and joking, but Qingzhi thought more: "If there is really someone...that means that Yinhua and I were stunned by someone at that time? Girl! This matter..." Qingzhi thought more and more.

, with a look of fear on his face, Li Tian closed his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Don't think so much, it will be fine for a while." She didn't say anything else. If something really happened, what could she do? Or

Think of the good first.

"Girl, you must not eat this mustard again!" Qingzhi lowered his voice and solemnly said. Li Tian's lips curved into a smile, and he closed his eyes and leaned on the pillow without answering. She definitely couldn't just be sick and not eat mustard.

Is she really making herself sick? She still wants to live unless she has to, so at least for now, she doesn't want to take more risks. Eating mustard may seem dangerous, but it is the safest way to get sick. With this
