Chapter 229: Fleeing without knowing whether to live or die

Chapter 229 Running away without knowing whether to live or die

Qu Chongyu gently straightened his collar, folded his hands and saluted solemnly, "Since General Su is in charge of the three armies, Chongyu dares to ask me, I wonder how much military rations and civilian labor will be prepared in Xizhou this year? Spring is about to begin in the blink of an eye, and there are many in Xizhou. Make some preparations.”

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "Su is only in charge of the three armies temporarily, and we don't know what the holy will is. How can I know this?"

Qu Chongyu hurriedly bowed and said, "It was Chongyu who was abrupt."

Su Dingfang pondered for a moment and then said with a smile, "I was in charge of food and grass for a few days last year. It was extremely difficult for Xizhou to produce 120,000 shi of military rations and nearly 10,000 people's chariots and horses. The most benevolent emperor today is Prince Qu. Don’t worry too much.”

Qu Chongyu showed a smile on his face, "Thank you, General Su, for your consideration."

Su Dingfang was thinking about the affairs of the military camp, and when he was about to say goodbye and leave, a voice came from outside the door curtain, "Mi Dalang, please see me." Su Dingfang couldn't help laughing, and even Pei Xingjian showed a smile on his face, "Please come quickly!"

Amidst an extraordinarily powerful sound of boots, Mi Dalang walked into the main room with his chest puffed out. When he saw Su Ding, he stood up, folded his hands and saluted, "Young man, meet the general!"

His voice was full of breath, buzzing and echoing in the hall, and Qu Chongyu couldn't help but frown.

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "You're doing well! Don't worry, I've already paid you back during the battle in the canyon that day."

Mi Dalang’s face suddenly lit up, he hurriedly bent over and folded his hands, “Thank you, General, for the promotion!”

 These days, he seems to be floating in the clouds when he walks. Not to mention that he finally saw the light of day again after a month. He only found out when he went out that he saved the Tat Du woman and injured the Tang army. It is already known to everyone in Xizhou; as for how he passed out from serious injuries that day, and how he was killed in the middle of the night. The guys at the drug store realized that they were still alive, so they simply faked their death to avoid disaster, and it was rumored that they had noses and eyes; even the number of Tang soldiers he injured had changed from two to one team in a few days!

Therefore, whenever he goes out in the past few days, he will be surrounded by people who ask questions and sigh endlessly. There was an endless stream of people who came to visit him and invited him to drink. Among them, there were actually some rich businessmen and servants who had ridiculed him before, and even looked at him without looking at him. Everyone knew that Mi Dalang was from Xizhou City. A good man. He had never even dreamed of this kind of treatment in his life - if he could really get military honors back, would he, Mi Dalang, become a big shot in Xizhou City in the future? Thinking of this, Mi Dalang grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears, and the words of gratitude flowed out from his stomach, and he said them over and over again several times.

Su Dingfang just waved his hand, "It's okay to say these kind words slowly in the future. There are still some affairs to be handled in the military camp these days, so I won't disturb you anymore."

Mi Dalang said hurriedly, "General, can you use the little thing? Now that your body and bones have been well-established, you can serve the general well."

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "It's easy to say now. After autumn, there will be no place for you to go." After thinking for a while, he said, "If you have time, you can come to the camp."

Mi Dalang had already sighed, but when he heard the last sentence, his eyes immediately lit up, and he patted his chest twice, "Don't worry, General, I'll tell my family when I get back, and I'll go tomorrow!"

Su Dingfang smiled and nodded, then said goodbye and left. Several people in the room escorted him out of the city gate and watched him mount his horse and leave. Pei Xingjian glanced at Qu Chongyu and spoke first, "Your Majesty, I wonder if you still have time today?"

Qu Chongyu lowered his eyes and said, "Chongyu has nothing to do, but he is dispatched by the long history."

Mi Dalang glanced at the two of them, his brows furrowed slightly unconsciously, he took a step forward and said to Pei Xingjian, "Chang Shi, I wonder if Madam is feeling better today?"

In the past few days, he had been going to Pei's house every day, asking a few questions before leaving, but it was rare that he looked so solemn. Pei Xingjian was startled for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile, "ToEFL, she is much better now."

Mi Dalang let out a long breath, glanced at Qu Chongyu, and said sternly, "I heard from Dr. Han that my wife is well now, but she can't be too busy. Chang Shi was out all day. It's really not easy for Madam in Xizhou. Now, now, I should pay more attention to Madam, don't..." Looking at Qu Chongyu's suddenly darkened face and his gloomy and sharp eyes like a cold blade, he had developed the courage in the past few days. A hole was suddenly poked out, and in the blink of an eye it was all leaked out without a trace, and he was so stuttering that he couldn't continue to speak.

A strange look flashed across Pei Xingjian's face. He cleared his throat and said calmly, "The elder is worrying too much. Pei has his own sense of measure. He will never cause his wife any trouble or worry in the future."

Mi Dalang smiled awkwardly and took a step back, "I'm so presumptuous, I'll take my leave now. I'll take my leave now."

Qu Chongyu looked at Mi Dalang's back with cold eyes. When he reached the steps of the city gate, he whispered through his teeth, "The disaster will last for thousands of years!" He originally heard that Mi Dalang was still alive. When I heard the news, I felt a little strange in my heart, but at this moment, I thought, why wasn't that Cudi really cruel?

Pei Xingjian's eyes also fell on Mi Dalang's back, and he smiled and said, "He's just a fool who doesn't know how to live or die. Why should the prince be the same as him?"

Qu Chongyu snorted and did not answer. Pei Xingjian turned to look at him, "Even though Mi Da is too confused, she has a saying that is right. Being frugal has a lot of consequences for her. She must not be hurt anymore. She has a bad temper. I’m stubborn, if I’ve offended you in any way, please bear with me, Your Majesty.”

The anger on Qu Chongyu's face couldn't help but subside. He pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "Don't worry too much about the history. Madam Chongyu has always admired Madam's soul, wisdom and quality. Madam's disaster this time is somewhat related to Chongyu's ignorance. Regarding the matter, the chief minister is worried, and the general is worried about it. Although the chief minister and the general are in large numbers, Chongyu is really uneasy. If there is anything that can be done to make up for it, Chongyu dares not to obey."

Pei Xingjian smiled and bowed, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."

Qu Chongyu hurriedly returned the gift, and while the two casually talked about Xizhou's government arrangements for this year, they walked back and said goodbye in front of the Governor's Mansion. Qu Chongyu entered the house, but he stood there in trance for a long time before he took a deep breath and stepped into his house.

When Pei Xingjian returned to the yard, he happened to meet Han Si who had just come out of the backyard. He saw that his face turned red before he opened his mouth. Pei Xingjian couldn't help but feel a little strange, and asked quickly, "How is Madam's pulse today?"

Han Si calmed down and said respectfully, "Madam's pulse condition has improved very much. I have changed my prescription. From now on, I will focus on replenishing the body and nourishing Qi. In a few days, when the weather gets warmer, Madam will be the same as in previous years. It's just that there will be no difference in the future." It needs constant maintenance.”

Pei Xingjian breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled, "I will have to trouble Dr. Han in the future." Han Si's face turned red again, and he shook his head and said, "I don't dare to take it. I can't ask for it, and I can't ask for it!" He looked up and saw Pei Xingjian looking at him in surprise. , his expression became even more panicked, "I'll go back to the medicine store to fill out the prescription and take my leave." Without waiting for Pei Xingjian to reply, he turned around and left.

Pei Xingjian looked at the fleeing figure in astonishment. Thinking of the sentence "you can't get what you want", it really didn't make sense. He turned around and entered the inner courtyard. Before he entered the door, he heard laughter in the inner room. When I opened the curtain and went in, I saw Ayan, Xiaotan, and Yunyi all inside. It was Xiaotan and Yunyi who were laughing loudly, but Ayan was packing the shelves in the room expressionlessly, Liuli leaned against Sitting on the bedside with a pillow, her face was full of smiles, and her eyes were shining as she followed Ayan. Pei Xingjian's heart moved, and he suddenly understood a little bit, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

When several people in the room saw Pei Xingjian, they all stood up, saluted, and left. Pei Xingjian walked to the bed and sat down, stretched out his hand to wrap Liuli's hand outside the quilt, and said with a smile, "What good thing is it that makes you so happy?"

Liuli rolled her eyes, "Guess!"

Pei Xingjian pondered and said, "But Dr. Han said that you are well and you don't need to take these bitter medicines anymore?"

Liuli's face suddenly fell, "Where are you talking? It's just that you need to change the side medicine! I don't know when it will be full!"

Pei Xingjian put her cold hand to her lips, kissed it, and said softly, "I will feed you until you eat."

Liuli's voice couldn't help but lowered her voice, "Don't you have to go to the camp? Your foster father came here today. Did he say anything?"

Pei Xingjian shook his head, "If you don't do well, I won't go anywhere. My mentor also told me not to worry about that and to take good care of you."

Liuli felt relieved, and suddenly felt that getting sick was not all a bad thing, and a smile appeared on her face unknowingly.

Her face was still a little pale, but it was made a little more radiant by this quiet and contented smile. Pei Xingjian felt a sense of sadness in his heart, lowered his eyes and smiled, "You haven't told me yet, what were you laughing at just now."

Liuli’s smile deepened, “Guess again.”

Pei Xingjian frowned and thought for a long time, "Has anyone else been here besides Dr. Han just now?"

Liuli's eyes were so full of smiles, "You might never guess it! Ayan wants to learn acupuncture from a Korean doctor, and Han Silang has already agreed. It's not known that our family will have many goddess doctors in the future!"

Pei Xingjian had a look of genuine surprise on his face, "Acupuncture? Han Si actually responded? I heard that acupuncture is a secret that is not passed down by doctors!"

Liuli smiled and said, "Exactly, I was also surprised. You didn't see Han Si's face, it looked like a cooked shrimp! Speaking of this, I want to ask you for something!"

Pei Xingjian looked at her and smiled, "What is it? Why are you asking for it?"

Liuli sat up with a smile and hugged his waist, "Didn't you let Ah Chengdu go? I want to take this opportunity to transfer Xiaotan and Ayan to good jobs. I will do whatever you say!"

Pei Xingjian put his arms around her, gently stroked her long hair, and sighed, "As long as you take the medicine and rest well, what does it mean if you let all the slaves in this house go? This matter is not urgent. It’s better to choose a suitable person to serve you first, and then let them go, okay?”

Liuli buried her head in his chest and smiled, "I have asked them and they are all willing to stay. I have also thought about it. As long as they are willing to stay here, I will pay them wages in the future. When will they leave? , it’s not too late to pick someone, I don’t really like being surrounded by people when nothing happens.”

Pei Xingjian said softly, "Yes," "You make the decision, but there are still a few people in our house. Anyway, the seventh uncle is also in Xizhou now. I will pick a few people when I have some free time in two days. From now on, you can It’s better to spend less time.”

Liuli couldn't help but laugh and said, "There are only two of us in this courtyard, so why do we need so many people? Speaking of which, it was because of me that Ayan thought of learning acupuncture."

Pei Xingjian couldn't help but lower his voice, "It's all my fault." That day he followed Han Si's technique of moxibustion, but it was a bit unfamiliar. The next day, he discovered that Liuli only had a few red marks on her back. However, the three places on my belly button had blisters, which gradually recovered in the past two days. Ayan probably thought that since Liuli would need long-term recuperation, she might need acupuncture in the future, so she thought of learning this skill.

Liuli sighed softly, "In fact, it doesn't hurt very much. It will be difficult for you that day."

Pei Xingjian was silent for a moment, "Liu Li, it's not that I mind Dr. Han, it's just..."

Liuli couldn't help but raise her head, "Just what?"
