Chapter 873 The edge of danger

Xiao Zhen barely covered herself. When someone saw her while sneaking into the army, they didn't even cross-examine or suspect her. They even said hello: "New face, new recruit. She looks pretty pretty."

"The new one? It's probably some official's son who comes to buy military merit." Another person whispered softly.

Xiao Zhen ignored them. However, wherever she passed, every soldier looked at her with envy and occasionally lowered his voice and whispered. Xiao Zhen had deep inner strength, so he could naturally hear these whispers clearly. This

Only then did I realize that in order to obtain military honors, the children of those nobles would spend money to come here for several months. The general who received the money reported to the court that this boy led the troops to repel the foreign invasion and was credited with one merit. The Ministry of War would directly record this boy with merit.

Give it to a petty official.

Buying military merit? Xiao Zhen couldn’t believe what he heard. Can military merit be bought?

"General, don't do it." A coquettish voice came.

"General, come and catch me, come and catch me quickly."

"General, Ahong is behind you."

Xiao Zhen turned around, and there were female figures with red flowers and green willows floating in front of his eyes. The men surrounded by the women covered their eyes with cloth and were playing hide-and-seek with these women.

Xiao Zhen looked coldly at the so-called general who was full of makeup. In all her years in the army, she had never seen a general without even a trace of muscle.

"I've got it, I've got it." The general grabbed one of the women. He didn't even take off the cloth from her mouth before pouting, and even raised and lowered his hands.

It was simply unsightly, and there was anger in Xiao Zhen's eyes.

A pair of hands suddenly pulled her arm to the corner: "What are you looking at? Do you want your life?" It was a young soldier: "Thankfully the general is blindfolded, if he sees you looking at him like this

, it would be strange if I didn’t kill you.”

The young man in front of him was only sixteen or seventeen years old. His facial features were still childlike, and his skin was so white and tender that he didn't look like a soldier. Xiao Zhen's eyes fell on her hand that was holding her arm tightly. His fingers were slender and fair, without calluses.

.

"Are you also a son of a powerful person, and you came here to buy military merit?" Xiao Zhen looked at the young man coolly.

The young man sighed: "I don't need these things to gain fame. I'm here to protect my family and my country."

"You? You have thin skin and tender flesh." Xiao Zhen laughed angrily.

"Sir, it turns out you are here." A young man dressed as a servant ran over out of breath, "There are rough people everywhere here. Don't run around. If something goes wrong, how can I follow you?"

The old lady will explain it."

"Didn't I tell my grandmother earlier? I'm here to join the army and protect my family and country." The young man looked impatient.

The boy looked pitiful and said: "Sir, please stop it. How can anyone come to join the army and bring two carriages of food and clothing with them? We've been playing for three or four days, let's go home."

Xiao Zhen: ""You said you weren't here to buy military merit? You rolled your eyes and left.

"Hey, where are you going?" The young man quickly caught up with Xiao Zhen, walking beside her and chattering: "I really didn't expect the general in the military camp to have more fun than us noble children. I just saw you looking at the general.

His eyes are full of anger, and so am I. We must be the same kind of people, throwing our heads and blood for the sake of the country and the people, we"

"Shut up." Xiao Zhen turned to look at the tender young man, and narrowed his eyes slightly when he came into contact with the waist badge on the young man's waist: "The Cui family's waist badge? You are Mr. Cui

Taijun’s grandson?”

The young man said in surprise: "You know my family?"

Of course Xiao Zhen knew about the Cui family. They were famous admonishers in the Han Dynasty. Although they had no real power, their reputation and status were not inferior to those of the prime minister. Just like this boy’s grandfather, in order to persuade the late emperor to take back the current emperor,

A powerful relative of the Ning family, his mother's family, crashed to death on the Jinluan Palace. His death caused the late emperor's guilt, and later he rewarded the Cui family and gave them privileges and so on.

As for Si Mo, he hated the Cui family very much. He had such a difficult life back then because the Cui family's advice had reduced and reduced the power of his mother's Ning family.

Xiao Zhen thought that the things Zhu Youshu said about the Ning family could be said to mirror each other, but in reality she participated in this matter as a man and as Si Mo Yingshi, while in Shu Zhong

She was fighting against the Ning family as a woman, but the final outcome was similar.

"Hey, what do I want to ask you?"

Xiao Zhen's eyes flickered on the young man's face, and his outline was indeed similar to that of the old man who was killed: "What? The current emperor doesn't pay much attention to your Cui family, and even hates it very much, so you also plan to change your career and buy some military merits to get one

A small official position?"

The young man was stunned. He didn't expect that the man in front of him could see through his intentions at a glance.

"Don't follow me anymore. It's boring to watch." Xiao Zhen wanted to say some harsh words, but he did have some respect for the Cui family, so he didn't say any more and ducked directly behind the tent, taking advantage of the opportunity.

When there was no one around, he just used Qinggong to fly away.

After leaving the military camp, the two shadow warriors had already been waiting for her. They were relieved to see Xiao Zhen back.

"Sister, we are really worried about what you might do on impulse."

"Fortunately nothing happened."

Xiao Zhen's face was livid, and it took him a while before he said calmly: "Even if I want to, there are so many unfair things in the world that I can't do. Go home."

There was no rest for a day and a night, and it was already late at night when Xiao Zhen arrived home.

Bai Hao didn't know what he told his family. When she came home and came out of the house, her sister-in-law and the others seemed not to know that she had disappeared.

Xiang'er has gone through the most difficult days, so the fever has gone away. The little miracle doctor said that this is due to Xiang'er's good health. Now the whole family is worried about Xiao Han Yan. His physical condition is not good to begin with.

The miracle doctor stayed by Xiao Han Yan's side all day and night.

Mrs. Liu cried every day, until her eyes were swollen from crying.

Seeing how the little miracle doctor kept guarding Han Yan, Xiao Zhen's heart sank.

When Han Ziran came back from the county government, Xiao Zhenzhen wanted to sleep. Before the two of them could exchange a word, a clerk came over and said that Xiao Han Yan wanted to see Zi Ran, so he hurried to Xiao Han Yan's place.

Xiao Zhen also followed. As soon as he stepped into the corridor, he heard the choked voice of his sister-in-law: "Yan'er is her son, and she doesn't even want to see her own son?"

"Mrs. Xinyue is afraid that Young Master Yan's disease will be transmitted to her, and she says that their fate as mother and son has ended," the waiter said.

When Han Ziran heard this, his eyes became colder and he entered the room.

Xiao Zhen did not enter the house, but looked up at the starry sky, which was thousands of miles away and had no idea of ​​the hardships of the human world. How beautiful the sky was, how ugly the human world was.

"What should we do? Yan'er wants to see her parents." Liu covered her face and cried bitterly: "He has a high fever and keeps calling mother."

"Little Han Yan?" the little miracle doctor's voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Xiao Zhen jumped uneasily and entered the room.

A bitter smell of medicine came, and the smell of medicine in the room was almost nauseating. We had not seen him for a few days. Little Han Yan was so thin that it seemed as if he would float away if the wind blew. His small face was sallow and his eyes were dull.

It is a state of confusion before death.

"Sister, I can't help it." Seeing my sister, the little miracle doctor showed guilt for the first time.

At this time, Xiao Han Yan's eyes seemed to have a little focus. He looked at Xiao Zhen and suddenly laughed: "Mom, are you here to see me?"

Xiao Zhen walked over and sat by the bed. The sound of "mother" reminded her of the scene in Zhu Youshu. She adopted little Han Yan and stayed with him for many years to eliminate the uneasiness in his heart. Her emotions were actually not

Even though she is very affectionate towards her own children, she is mostly indifferent, but little Han Yan is so clingy that she actually spends more time with him than with her own children.

"Is there really no other way?" Xiao Zhen looked at the little miracle doctor.

Cai Wanglin shook his head: "If those with fever from this plague can survive four or five days, their bodies will slowly recover, and after recovery, they will no longer be infected by the plague."

Xiao Zhen quickly touched Xiao Han Yan's forehead and said in surprise: "Yan'er doesn't have a fever. Didn't she have a fever before? It's obviously gone."

The little miracle doctor's face became more and more serious: "He did have a fever at the beginning, but it went down sharply in just half an hour. This shows that his body is too weak to resist this illness, and all the power of the plague has accumulated.

It cannot escape from his body."

"You mean that fever is caused by the body's fight against the plague?"

The little miracle doctor nodded: "The body is too weak, and even a fever is a luxury. The evil spirit will permeate the entire body, and eventually it will slowly wither and die."

"Mom, I will be good, don't hit me." Xiao Han Yan's eyes were blurred again and gradually became distracted.

Xiao Zhen's eyes fell on little Han Yan's sallow and thin face. This child was very pitiful, both during the operation and in reality. He bent down and asked softly: "Child, what can I do for you?"
