Xie Ming

Chapter 152 Preparations
Xiao Lang and Xu Jialin were discussing confidential matters downstairs. Unexpectedly, as soon as they mentioned the plan to go south at the end of the month, the girl Jingyi who was hiding on the wooden stairs could not stay any longer and ran down in a hurry!
"Xiao Jingchuan!"

"You are not allowed to go!"

"You can't go anywhere!"

As soon as he said this, the three people present were completely stunned!

For a long while, there was silence all around!

Jingyi's chest heaved and she gasped for breath. It seemed like she paused for a long time before she realized that she had said the wrong thing!

In embarrassment and anxiety, her face turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Jing, Jingyi, you!"

"Get back to your room!"

After Xu Jialin came to his senses, he became furious instantly!
He smashed the tea bowl in front of him to the ground, pointed at the two girls who were stuck halfway up the wooden ladder, and shouted at them.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Lang wanted to give advice, but he was also dragged into the situation by this girl and was in a dilemma. How could he speak up? !
Right now, he is the one who is not getting any good treatment anywhere!
"Humph!"

Jingyi was stubborn and annoyed with Xiao Lang, but also with herself. When she heard her father scolding her, she felt even more wronged and was too humiliated to stay there any longer. She turned around and ran back to her room!
She ran upstairs, but Xiao and Xu were in the hall downstairs, which made things even more awkward!
Xu Jialin wanted to say something but stopped himself. Seeing this, Xiao Jingchuan knew it was not a good idea to stay any longer and it would be best to run away!
"what"

"Well, anger is harmful to your health!"

"Patriarch Xu, please calm down!"

"Jing, Jingyi is a straightforward girl!"

"But it's not that kind of nonsense, it's not that kind of tactless!"

"Patriarch Xu, please continue to persuade me later."

"Well, as for the matter of going south, I hope the clan leader can help and persuade me. It is not a good idea to leak it for the time being!" Xiao Lang said reluctantly.

Hearing this, Xu Jialin's expression eased slightly and he forced out a bitter smile out of embarrassment.

"Yes Yes!"

"Don't worry, General Xiao!" They both agreed reluctantly.

"Oh, well, that's good."

"I am sorry to bother you today!"

"I won't stay any longer!"

"hehe."

As he spoke, Xiao Jingchuan bowed and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Xu Jialin led the way and saw Xiao Lang off, walking straight out the door.

After what happened to Jingyi at home, it was not easy for him to keep her any longer, so he just went along with it and had to say goodbye in a hurry!
Noontime.

After Xiao Jingchuan hurriedly escaped from Xu's house, he went to Jimintang Medical Clinic again.

There, Xiao Lang had a meal with the waiters in the inn.

After the meal, he called Doctor Hu, the pharmacy owner, and several managers to the back hall to discuss matters.

This time, it took more than an hour to open.

During the conversation, in addition to instructing on some detailed rules, regulations and strategies regarding the future operation of the clinic, he also mainly talked about the specific matters regarding the clinic's assistance to the villagers!

First of all, Xiao Lang highly praised Jimin Hall’s efforts to help the poor and the weak over the past half month and affirmed this approach!
Afterwards, Xiao Lang also pointed out that helping the poor and the weak will become a golden signboard of Jimin Hall in the future!
It is also stipulated that in the future, anyone who comes to this clinic for treatment must follow the procedure of saving lives first and treating diseases first, and then settling the payment and paying the money!

The benevolence of the doctor!
If you don't pay, or even pay first, you won't see a doctor or get medicine?
It shouldn't be this way!

Afterwards, in response to this lecture, Xiao Jingchuan struck while the iron was hot and finalized the specific regulations for the museum seal.

After ordering someone to write it down clearly, he framed it in the clinic!

From now on, all the waiters, doctors, and managers in the medical clinic must abide by this rule!

Don't let this chill the hearts of the villagers!
It was almost 3 p.m. in the afternoon.

Qiu Zhizhong said goodbye to the prince of Jiulong Academy as agreed, and finally came to Jimintang Medical Clinic to meet Xiao Lang. The matter of the medical clinic had been discussed, and Xiao Jingchuan had no intention of staying any longer, so he took Zhizhong and rushed out of the town at dawn, and returned to the camp!

Two days later, on the evening of April 17th.

Qi Dayong and Jin Xuan received information from Gu Changting and finally returned to the camp.

During this trip to Bairui Valley, the two of them recruited another 500 soldiers.

That night, Xiao Lang called the two men to his tent and talked to them about staying behind in the Jiulong Town base!

After half a night of detailed discussion, the two generals finally understood Xiao Lang's plan in detail. They were all full of confidence in the development of this place and accepted the order with ease!
In a blink of an eye, it was April 24th.

During these ten days, in addition to daily training in swords, guns, firearms, fighting and shooting skills, the generals also practiced tactics such as city attack and defense and field guerrilla raids under the instruction of Xiao Lang.

Forced marches through the mountains are also essential.

By evening, the red sun was hanging in the west.

Xiao Jingchuan stood on a high stone hill near the military camp halfway up the mountain, looking out at the scene of thousands of soldiers marching in rows with heavy loads in the mountains.

The rows of soldiers are like giant pythons and dragons running through the mountains and forests!
Xiao Jingchuan looked at it from afar and couldn't help but feel sad.

It has only been more than a month, and he has worked hard without stopping for a moment, and finally gathered a team of more than 3,000 people!
The achievements are remarkable and the hard work has paid off. I am very pleased!

"Old Xiao?!"

"Old Xiao?"

Just as Xiao Lang was feeling deeply moved, Qiu Zhizhong suddenly came running towards him from the direction of the barracks.

"Hey! Here it is!"

When Zhizhong came over at this moment, Xiao Lang guessed that something must have happened, so he waved his hand to greet him.

"Haha, hey, Lao Xiao, you ran so far!"

“Standing so high!”

"Pull, come on, pull me!"

Zhizhong trotted and arrived at the foot of the stone hill. He saw Xiao Lang and stretched out his arm, panting, so that Xiao Lang could pull him up and climb up the stone hill together.

"okay!"

"Hey? Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), you're here right now, is there something important?"

When they reached the stone hill, Xiao Jingchuan asked hurriedly.

"Haha, it must be said that you, Old Xiao, have the best nose! "

"Haha, new intelligence has been delivered from Baoding Prefecture!" Zhizhong teased and quickly returned to the topic.

"Oh?!" Xiao Lang's eyes widened when he heard that.

"Two of my men just came back, saying they took the risk to find out the details of the Baoding garrison!"

"Return after you have found out everything."

"Li Zicheng previously set up military governors in Zhending and Baoding. We have discussed this in detail before."

"To the west of Baoding, there is Zijing Pass!"

"To the west of Zhending Prefecture, there is the Jingxing Mountain Road. These two places are the only two routes from the Northwest-Shanxi region to the Northern Zhili!"

"So, the number of defenders in Zhen and Bao is unimaginable!"

"However, Zhuanzi returned this time with the latest news, saying that ten days ago, a large number of Dashun enemy bandits suddenly began to gather urgently in Baoding Prefecture!"

"Leave the city at night and see the direction. They may be quickly transferred to the capital!"

"Seven days ago, the night before Zhuanzi rushed back to deliver the letter, the nearly 10,000 Dashun troops in Baoding City were completely withdrawn!"

"Right now, the only people left in the city are the surrendered soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"
