Zong Yanli wanted his arm to heal sooner, so Feng Pei recommended someone to perform acupuncture on Zong Yanli.

There are many military doctors in the military tent, but most of them only know the basics and it is enough for them to know how to bandage. Therefore, if they really encounter a difficult illness, they sometimes have to seek help from outside.

June is extremely hot.

This summer seems to be particularly hot. The soldiers in the army dare not train on that day. The scorching sun shining on the ground seems to be drying them out.

Even in the military tents it was stuffy and the soldiers had to find some shady places to hide. The rotation frequency of soldiers standing at the sentry posts was also increased. If they continued to stand guard as before, they would all suffer from heatstroke.

"Zong Yanli, why don't you practice with me with your right hand?" Since the last time, Ning Chi felt like he had known Zong Yanli for a long time, and followed Zong Yanli like a tail all day long.

"Do you want to practice or not?" Zong Yanli couldn't get rid of him, so he simply asked him to practice with him so that his left hand could recover as soon as possible.

"practice!"

"..."

Under a big tree, Meng Qi, Qian Zhixing and others were sitting, fanning themselves with tattered palm-leaf fans that they had gotten from somewhere.

Several people watched the two people sparring. Zong Yanli's left hand was obviously a little weak as it had just recovered. He was beaten back several times by Ning Chi and kept adjusting his arm position.

Monkie looked at him for a while, frowned and muttered, "Why does this guy seem to be getting braver as the battle goes on? Does he really think that our general can't kill him?"

Pei Liang was reading a military book while glancing at the two men practicing. He sneered and turned the page, saying, "General, you are teasing a child. Why are you competing with each other?"

Monkie snorted and said, "In the past, the only one who could spar with the general was Wen Nian. With Brother Nian away, this kid has taken advantage of him."

"What you said means, are you willing to practice with the general?" Qian Zhixing was amused when he heard it, and turned to look at Monk.

"Am I not happy about that?" Monkie said confidently, "I just can't beat him!"

What Zong Yanli did with them was not called sparring, that was called instruction!

I am just giving in to them and it does not benefit me at all.

Several people laughed when they heard Monk's words. Lu Hao pulled his collar and said, "Ah, it's too hot. How can the general still be in the mood for sparring?"

"Otherwise, how could he become a general?" Pei Liang said quietly.

"..." Lu Hao and others looked at Pei Liang in unison. Pei Liang immediately raised his hands in surrender and turned away silently.

"Brothers, I know a stream!" Qian Zhixing waved at Lu Hao and the others and said, "It's not far from the border. Why don't we go take a bath and cool down?"

"You left the camp without permission. Are you itching for trouble?" Pei Liang couldn't help but turn his head and said.

"Pei Liang, you are such a good talker, go and convince the general to go with us." Qian Zhixing laughed and winked at Pei Liang.

Pei Liang naturally didn't want to go, but Lu Hao and Meng Qi came over and encouraged him. In addition, he also felt that the heat was unbearable. If he could jump into the river to take a bath, he would be so happy. Under the encouragement of several people, Pei Liang entered Zong Yanli's tent as if he was going to be sacrificed heroically.

then……

Zong Yanli kicked him out with a hammer and a kick: "The enemy is outside the pass! You can't even stand this little heat, why are you here to fight? Get out!"

Pei Liang was kicked out covered in dust and dirt. Meng Qi, Qian Zhixing and others shrank their heads, pretended not to see it, and scattered like birds and beasts with a smile.

Pei Liang was very angry. He finally understood that these damn guys were just watching him get scolded on purpose!

into the night.

A figure appeared by the stream outside the pass. Zong Yanli saw the narrow stream clearly in the moonlight and felt a little relieved. She really wanted to thank Pei Liang.

Zong Yanli was not greedy for this little bit of coolness, but it was really inconvenient for her as a woman. If she didn't wash herself, she was afraid that her lower body would be infected with some disease. In addition, her sinusitis had come again in the past few days, and the damn guy Ning Chi was clinging to her like crazy, wishing to sleep on the same bed with her.

But Ning Chi is different from other soldiers. His status is much higher than Zong Yanli. Zong Yanli cannot scold him like he scolds the soldiers and can only tolerate him again and again.

If it were in the past, Zong Yanli would never have risked coming to the stream to take a bath.

Zong Yanli did not dare to be careless. She went into the water wearing her middle shirt. She dived into the water and rubbed her stinky hair vigorously. The comfort of the water made Zong Yanli relax for a moment. In this moment, she suddenly turned her head and looked back at the woods from which she came.

"Zong Yanli!" The familiar figure walked out of the woods and called out in a low voice, "Where are you!"

“……”This bastard!

Zong Yanli was almost in a state of collapse. He stretched out his hands to tie up his shirt and immersed himself in the water. He then said, "What are you yelling about?"

Ning Chi turned his head upon hearing the sound, squinted his eyes and saw clearly that Zong Yanli was soaking in the water. He was immediately overjoyed: "Haha! I said I wasn't mistaken! You actually sneaked out to take a shower without calling me!"

Ning Chi laughed and started to take off his clothes and pants.

Zong Yanli's face froze: "What are you doing?"

"Take a bath!" Ning Chi couldn't wait to take off his clothes and jumped into the river. He had wanted to take a good bath for a long time, but the conditions were not available in the army.

Ning Chi originally thought that since Zong Yanli was so outstanding, he must train harder than others, so he wanted to follow him to see how he trained.

It seems that there is no difference between Zong Yanli and Ning Chi during this period of time. However, Ning Chi is a patient person. If he really saw Zong Yanli leaving the tent at night, he would be secretly happy. He wanted to catch Zong Yanli and train him secretly. However, he didn't expect that Zong Yanli went all the way out of the pass and came here!

Ning Chi paddled towards Zong Yanli dissatisfiedly and said, "You are really disloyal. Why didn't you ask me to join you in this matter?"

Zong Yanli watched Ning Chi approaching and quietly retreated, while dealing with him, he said: "I am already a general. If my subordinates knew about this, wouldn't it be considered as an unrighteous person? How can I control them?"

"That makes sense." Ning Chi raised his eyebrows and nodded affirmatively, muttering, "I'm almost covered with a layer of grease, help me rub it off!"

Zong Yanli was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned around to walk to the shore.

Unexpectedly, Ning Chi saw Zong Yanli was about to leave, and anxiously reached out to pull Zong Yanli and said, "Since you are here, play for a while longer!"

Zong Yanli avoided Ning Chi's hand. Before he could say anything, he saw Ning Chi dive into the water and reach out to hug Zong Yanli's waist.

At that moment, Zong Yanli felt as if his scalp exploded instantly. Almost immediately, his eyes flashed with ferocity. He grabbed Ning Chi's neck with his backhand and pushed him directly into the river. He raised his foot and kicked him in the stomach, forcing him to choke on the water and let go of his hand.

The violent struggling and flapping noises were very loud, but Zong Yanli had no intention of letting go.

She held Ning Chi's neck tightly, and in that instant, Zong Yanli even felt a strong desire to kill.

"Puff! Cough cough cough--" Zong Yanli let go of his hand at the last moment. Ning Chi suddenly emerged from the water, breathing heavily and coughing violently. He swam to the shore with difficulty and knelt on the shore coughing water violently.

Zong Yanli didn't even change his wet clothes and quickly put on a soft armor coat.

Ning Chi covered his neck with one hand and looked at Zong Yanli with fear on his face. He really thought that Zong Yanli wanted him to die!

Zong Yanli glanced at him and said coldly: "Ning Chi, stay away from me. If you do it again, I won't let go."

Ning Chi's heart trembled at those harsh words. He actually really wanted to kill him! ?

Ning Chi was dumbfounded, watching Zong Yanli walk away without looking back. He knelt on the ground in a mess, touched his neck which still felt a little painful, his throat was burning with pain from coughing due to choking on water.

The next day, when Ning Chi went to see Qin Wujiu with his head down, Qin Wujiu stared at Ning Chi for a long time, frowned and asked, "Have you ever fought with Zong Yanli?"

Ning Chi: …………

"Uncle!" He raised his head with a little sadness and anger.

"It seems that they really haven't fought." Qin Wujiu was happy. Seeing the bruises and scars on his neck, he thought that this kid had been beaten by Zong Yanli. He said happily, "Now you know your own weight, right?"

Ning Chi sat down on a chair in a depressed mood, as if he had a thousand words to say. Finally, he raised his head and asked Qin Wujiu, "Are all the soldiers in the army as difficult to get along with as Zong Yanli?"

Qin Wujiu casually replied while reading the military report: "Zong Yanli is brave and resourceful. He has achieved so much at such a young age. It is normal for him to be a little arrogant and difficult to get along with."

"If you want to make friends with him, you should be on par with him, so that it can last long." Qin Wujiu paused and said, "He will not stop here. It will not be surprising if he is on par with me in a few years."

Ning Chi's eyes widened upon hearing this, probably because he didn't expect Qin Wujiu to praise Zong Yanli in this way.

Qin Wujiu looked at Ning Chi, waved his hand and said, "Go find the military doctor to get some medicine to deal with it, don't hang around in front of me."

Qin Wujiu's words clearly showed that he would not help him. His nephew deserved to be beaten because he was not as skilled as others.

Zong Yanli had a rare few days of peace and quiet.

"General, General Mingwei asks you to come over." Gao Feilin hurriedly entered the tent and called out.

"What happened?" Zong Yanli tied his hair and turned to ask.

"It seems that there is an epidemic in Changfeng County." Gao Feilin's face was a little solemn, and he said quickly: "Several generals have gone there. This plague came suddenly. I don't know if it was the work of the Qing Kingdom envoy. Please go and discuss the matter quickly."

Zong Yanli's eyes were slightly shocked, and he immediately responded, "Let's go."

The generals in the tent were already discussing it. Epidemics occur every year, big or small, and are most common in areas of war or conflict.

The army already had a plan to deal with the situation, but right now, at the time when we are resisting foreign enemies, the sudden outbreak of plague in Changfeng County is worrying.

"Ge Li Village is located in the center of Changfeng County. If it is really the work of Qing Kingdom, could it be that there are spies who have sneaked into the country?" The general next to him said with a frown.

"The most urgent task is to stop the spread of the disease." Zong Yanhongtu raised his hand and asked, "How many people are infected now?"

"About a hundred people." Dong Haoqiang replied, "Ge Li Village has been completely controlled. The village is sealed and no one is allowed to enter or leave. But I'm not sure if anyone escaped before the disease was discovered."

"It's still within controllable range. The people in the city are important, but we must also pay attention to the soldiers in the army." Zong Yanhongtu did not dare to be careless at all. He immediately asked the generals to go back and check if the soldiers under their command showed any signs of infection.

"Order the military doctor to prepare a decoction. From today on, everyone must wash their hands and faces with the decoction. No one is allowed to leave the tent without permission."

"Get ready, send troops to Geli Village, kill and bury all those in emergency situations..." Zong Yanhongtu ordered in a low voice.

"General, I think the bodies should be burned." Zong Yanli said at this moment: "Although it is a bit cruel, we don't know where the epidemic came from. If it was done by the enemy, there must be spies hidden in Changfeng County."

"If the buried body is discovered by spies and dug out..." Zong Yanli's face was solemn, and he said with a folded hand: "To prevent future troubles, I think it should be burned."

Zong Yanhongtu was shocked when he heard this, and nodded slowly: "This makes sense. If we don't find out the source of the epidemic, we can't leave any trouble behind."

After Zong Yanhongtu gave orders one by one, he selected the soldiers who were going to Geli Village. It was obvious that no one was willing to go. The scary thing about the epidemic is that you can't see or touch it, and you never know when you will be infected.

Those who were lucky recovered on their own, while those who were unlucky died there.

At present, there is no medicine that can cure any disease. The only thing available is just medicine to prevent the epidemic.

This epidemic was also the disease that many doctors were most reluctant to treat, so the most common method they adopted was to lock up all the infected people together and let them fend for themselves. There were many cruel ones who directly burned people to death in order to prevent future troubles.

"Second uncle, let me go." Zong Yanli stood up at this moment. She was not trying to be a hero, but she had experienced many battles in her previous life and had seen many epidemics.

"No." Zong Yanhongtu's heart skipped a beat and he refused without even thinking.

"If we don't find the source of the disease, the army will be worried." Zong Yanli said calmly: "I have seen some information about prevention of the disease in ancient books. I will take Feng Pei with me."

"It's too risky." Zong Yanhongtu was obviously worried.

Zong Yanli had no choice but to call Feng Pei and tell him some things he had learned from other countries in his previous life, such as making masks with gauze and cotton wool, making gloves with cowhide and sheep stomach, using dried herbs to fumigate away diseases, or filtering out clear water and boiling it to drink, etc.

I heard that these were the words passed down by the goddess, and that they were recorded in the books that Zong Yanli looted from the Jin Palace after he invaded the Jin State in the previous life.

Although it is damaged, you can still see a little bit of it.

She presented this item to the new emperor, and the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau deduced together that this method was indeed feasible.

The more Zong Yanhongtu and Feng Pei listened, the more shocked they were. Finally, they reported to Qin Wujiu according to what Zong Yanli said, and allowed Zong Yanli to lead his troops to Geli Village.

Qin Wujiu asked Feng Pei to carefully record the situation of responding to the epidemic. If it is really feasible, it will be a great event that benefits the world. Afterwards, he will definitely report it to the emperor and record his merit!
