[Two hundred and forty] Picking elixir
"Don't worry, Mu Yun knew what kind of temperament I had, and prepared the pills that suppressed the cold poison for me early in the morning. Moreover, although I have come to the North these days, you always cook soup for me according to the medicine list and recipes she prepared for me. I have been taking it, and I have never stopped. Although my physical condition is not as weak as before, I am not as weak as last year. Otherwise... I can't stay here with you day and night.
You should take my pulse every day and be the clearest, and my body is not seriously damaged now. Since that is the case, I should do what I should do.
At present, the situation in the city is critical, and you must not leave the city. With the army coming, as well as the doctors in the border city, although there are some medical techniques, none of them have ever experienced such a scene and will definitely not make up their minds. If you are not here, there will be trouble in Shanyuan Hall, which takes in and places patients.
I thought about it all. After all, this medicine is rare and has dozens of appearances. It has not been fully entered in ancient medical books. These doctors in the city may not recognize them all, and they cannot help them even if they go. Instead, they have to let the soldiers be affected and protect them. Moreover, Shanyuan Hall is not enough and the doctors are short of the most. I don’t know what the situation in Min Lane on the north side is. At this time, none of you can leave the city. Only when I go can I solve all my worries.”
She tried her best to persuade her, and every word hit the key points, making Nian Qian unable to find a reason to refute.
The husband bowed and frown, hesitated for a while, and said helplessly: "The Lord of the Pavilion really wants to do this? I dare to ask... You went to the mountains on both sides to look for medicine... But have you ever considered the Lord? His injury has only been relieved for a few days, and he woke up and repeated again and again. It was the time of uneasiness. If he knew that you were in such a danger, he would definitely be in a state of silence and always breathed a sigh of relief for you. This would inevitably affect his injuries... Do you ignore these?"
Jiang Chengjia stared at her, her eyes fell on the husband, and said softly: "This morning, after you came to report that you found the medicine that can suppress this epidemic, I told the husband about my thoughts. Although he was worried, he agreed to me to go. I promised him that he would return safely. Since I had this promise, I would never break my promise."
"Your Majesty agree?" Nian Qian never expected that the moment he raised his eyes and looked at the girl, he was stunned.
Jiang Chengjia: "I know you are worried about my safety. But this matter is urgent. Don't worry, I will ask the general of the city to ask the breeze and Zhuying to follow me. With them beside me, can you feel at ease?"
After hearing this, Nian Qian knew that there was no room for improvement in this matter, so he had to agree: "Since the Pavilion Master has arranged everything... how can I continue to object? It's just a little bit..."
He paused, looked around, and then knelt down to Jiang Chengjia on both knees and shouted: "I hope the Lord of the Pavilion will take care of himself! I hope to return safely. Otherwise, even if my subordinates die, they would not dare to return to the capital and report to Yun Jingjun."
Jiang Chengjia looked down at him and shook his head helplessly: "You actually threatened me with your life?"
Nian Qian: "How dare my subordinates have such thoughts? But if the Pavilion Master has something to do, my subordinates will not dare to survive."
Jiang Chengjia sighed: "I know, I will not let you lose your life."
In the afternoon, the breeze rolled up and the dust flew. The bright sky added a hint of warm blue, which made it look particularly comfortable and incompatible with the whine of the city.
On the school ground, Jiang Chengjia changed into military uniforms, held a long sword in his hand, and stood alone among the men. His posture was high and he felt quite brave, which made the soldiers coming and going frequently look at each other.
Chenggeya, Zhao Fu, Qian Hui and others rushed to the school ground as promised, and saw that the girl had already waited here early, strode with her sword, straightened her chest, and had the ambition to win. Many soldiers in the camp seemed very inferior in front of her.
"Since the general has arrived, I believe that he should prepare a competition for the slaves. The journey to save the city is imminent, and I hope the general will start soon."
Jiang Chengjia's voice was clear and majestic, and his every move added a hint of heroism.
Chenggeya stared at the woman with eyes fixed on her face. After Qian Hui reminded her, she waved her hand and said, "It seems that Miss Axiu is ready to be fully prepared? But you have to take a look. I, a soldier of the Great Wei Dynasty, can be as good as a warrior, and one person can match ten people. Are you sure you can defeat them?"
Jiang Chengjia was calm and composed: "Since I dared to ask the general for a war, I would have no words of fear, let alone defeat."
Chenggeya looked bad, but admired the girl's courage and said with a snorted smile: "Miss, such a big tone. Since that's the case, let's start. I will prepare five generals for you, each of them is the King of Hell on the battlefield. If the girl defeats them, she will naturally be able to follow the army to the mountains to pick medicine."
As soon as the gongs and drums sounded on the school ground, the five men standing on the right entered the field one by one, all of whom raised their heads and eyebrows, with great momentum.
Jiang Chengjia bent her lips and smiled, waved her long sword, turned her soft waist, floated like a god, and walked in a slight step, and her long boots were stained with dust. Everyone only saw that the sword was dancing faster and faster, like a silver dragon surrounding her, swaying up and down, stopping slowly, but she was as beautiful as a wandering cloud.
She danced the sword, and used the pounds to turn into wind. Her sword technique was dazzled by everyone and became respectful.
She landed steadily on the ring, stole the horse, showed off the back of the knife, clasped her fists with both hands, and politely said, "My men, I've given me advice!"
Chengge Cliff was in front of the desk and was shocked by the girl Luoying's colorful figure. She trembled for a moment. She never thought that this woman was so powerful.
At this time, Qian Hui and Zhao Fu, who were sitting on both sides of the cliff of Chengge, also changed slightly.
Qian Hui withdrew his eyes in disbelief, looked at Zhao Fu, his eyes full of exploration. Others may not know, but he knew the flowing body technique - it was the unique swordsman of Mrs. Junhou.
He was immediately shocked, and all the doubts in his heart were resolved at this moment. No wonder Zhao Fu respected this woman very much. No wonder Junhou was also abnormal to her. No wonder this woman was surrounded by two peerless masters, and Nian Qian was accompanied. No wonder he felt that the woman's eyes were so familiar. It turned out that the woman had arrived in the border town in person.
Jiang Chengjia changed her face and changed her voice. As Nian Qian maid, Qian Hui did not dare to associate her with the wife of the Lord. For many days, he felt that this person's identity was a mystery and had been sending people to keep an eye on the movements in the West Courtyard to prevent them.
At this moment, Qian Hui was not only surprised but also uneasy when guessing the identity of the girl. He was quite disrespectful to this "Miss A Xiu" these days, and even became hostile because she was too close to Junhou, so he was afraid that she would be a fox-like demon and bewitch Junhou's heart.
But now, he regretted so much that he hated himself for not having eyes, and even his wife could not recognize him.
Qian Hui stared at Zhao Fu and cursed in his heart: This good grandson must have known A Xiu's identity early in the morning, and he actually concealed it so well, which made him not expect at all, and he watched him offend the female king, but he ignored the right of his colleagues.
Zhao Fu caught a glimpse of Qian Hui's expression that was about to swallow him, and immediately lowered his head guiltily, hurriedly grabbed the teacup, drank a cup to quench his thirst, but accidentally choked, and blushed and coughed.
However, his cough did not attract the attention of Chengge Cliff. The general on the main seat looked at the ring, staring at the girl's every move, and he had already admired her deeply.
Chenggeya originally ignored Ah Xiu and could directly refuse her request to go out of the city with the army. However, due to the rumors about the girl and the Marquis of Huaiyin these days, he had to do it perfunctorily. He could only find a few soldiers to fight against him, and privately discuss which military doctor to send to follow the soldiers to pick the medicine. Unexpectedly, the way to win the battle in the arena was an excuse, but he accidentally saw such a determined martial arts.
He was amazed and felt guilty for his contempt. How could such a strange woman deal with such a hasty and sloppy without respect?
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Jiang Chengjia settled the five soldiers on the field one by one, turned around, put their swords into the sheath, and stood steadily. The armor was slightly shaking, and the hem of the leaking clothes floated slightly, but she was not moving like a mountain, without any dust.
Watching this battle at Chenggeya was like a treasure, and he clapped his hands happily and shouted: "Okay, okay! I have never seen Ling Luo's martial arts in a long time. Miss Axiu is really good at it. All the things I have underestimated before."
Jiang Chengjia held his sword and said, "The general praised it, and I will never dare to bear it. Since this battle, I have won, I hope the general will keep his promise and let me follow the army out of the city, go into the mountains to find medicine, and save the people!"
After a pause in the city pavilion, everyone present was worried.
Immediately afterwards, he heard him say, "Since the girl wins, she can go."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Chengjia bowed again and said, "I thank the general for his kindness!"
The military generals on the school ground all whispered and started to discuss.
Chenggeya came forward in person and said solemnly to the girl: "This journey is crucial. I hope the girl... will lead the soldiers back safely."
Jiang Chengjia immediately knelt on one knee, holding his fists and bowed: "I will never let down my life!"
When traveling with the army, the dust settled. In order to comfort Nian Qian's heart, the wind and candle shadow were naturally requested by Jiang Chengjia to be included in the ranks of soldiers.
Night passed by. In the early morning of the next day, before the sky was bright, Jiang Chengjia set out with hundreds of soldiers, rushed to the mountains on both sides, and searched carefully along the high cliff walls, not daring to let go of any cliff walls.
Finally, hundreds of people successfully brought back dozens of herbs five days later and rushed back to the border town.
Nian Qian looked up at the city gate and waited for the return of the troops anxiously. Chengge Cliff also came to greet the generals in person, and the formation was extremely prosperous.
Jiang Chengjia's face was covered in dust. Seeing a group of people standing in front of the city gate, he quickly stepped forward, walked out of the soldiers, and knelt down to salute the generals.
