Han Zhiyuan pointed to the red maple forest, and said to Jiang Ning: "A hundred miles away, it will be the territory of the Yi people, so sometimes when we practice, we will use this maple forest as the boundary. When I saw it, I would I thought, it would be nice to show you when the maple leaves are red."

He looked at the fiery red color and said, "I thought it would take a long time."

What Han Zhiyuan didn't say was that after leaving Yuezhou, his heart was filled with fear. Yes, fear. This place is different from modern times. Even if the two of them are separated by half a world, things can be easily done with a phone call or even the Internet. , In the eyes of ancient times, how difficult it is, he suddenly thought of a sentence, life does not meet, moving is like participating in business, only a small twist, he and Jiang Ning may never meet again.

Fortunately, none of them gave up.

Han Zhiyuan hugged Jiang Ning in his arms, rubbed his neck, and sighed contentedly, neither of them spoke, the air was extremely quiet, only the sound of the wind was blowing, and the sun was shining down through the clouds, which was very warm.

The two wandered outside the city all morning, and they didn't go back to Shahe City until noon. When they arrived at Jiang Ning's place, Han Zhiyuan remembered and asked, "What happened this morning?"

He was referring to Cai Peng and his group. Jiang Ning briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and Han Zhiyuan said with some regret: "Oh no, it's better than him in the morning. I shouldn't have broken that arrow."

Jiang Ning suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, it would be bad if he didn't fold it down, right?

The two talked again, and only then did Jiang Ning learn that Shi Gaocen had been transferred to Shahe City as a guard, and happened to meet Han Zhiyuan, who had just been dispatched at that time, and helped him express his love to Cheng Wu That's why Han Zhiyuan wasn't thrown into the back kitchen to be the leader.

Jiang Ning couldn't help sighing: "This is too coincidental, I must invite him to drink another day."

Han Zhiyuan nodded, and asked again: "What's for lunch?"

Jiang Ning: "..." He stood up and said, "Wait, I'll go and see the back kitchen."

Han Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, but he didn't follow. Jiang Ning was a little surprised, but he went alone. After cooking a few side dishes, Han Zhiyuan hurried in from the outside with sweat on his forehead.

Jiang Ning asked a little strangely, "What did you do?"

Han Zhiyuan thought for a while, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and replied briefly: "Do something."

Jiang Ning looked at it for a while, and he understood in his heart. After taking a slow bite, he said, "Who are you going to hit? Cai Peng?"

The dish that Han Zhiyuan had just picked up fell on the table with a bang. He looked at Jiang Ning in shock and asked, "How do you know?"

Jiang Ning pointed to the back of his hand, where there was still a red mark, and said in a leisurely tone, "I lied to you."

Han Zhiyuan muttered secretly: "It seems that next time I can't do it myself..."

Jiang Ning knocked on the bowl without laughing: "Let's eat, Mr. Han."

After lunch, Han Zhiyuan went to wash the dishes as usual. Jiang Ning took out two small porcelain bottles from the house and fiddled with them in the yard for a long time. Han Zhiyuan came out to wipe his hands after washing the dishes. What is it?"

Jiang Ning opened one of them and motioned him to look at it. Han Zhiyuan took it suspiciously and glanced inside. Inside the porcelain bottle was a bright white plaster, exuding a light herbal aroma.

Han Zhiyuan picked it up to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. He didn't know what he thought of, his eyes suddenly became strange, and the tips of his ears were a little red. He cleared his throat and said to Jiang Ning: "This...you bought it? "

His voice was a little hoarse for some reason. Jiang Ning looked at him suspiciously, nodded and said, "Yes, I bought it from a pharmacy a few days ago. What's wrong with your throat?"

"It's okay." Han Zhiyuan closed the lid calmly, endured it, but still couldn't hold back, then lifted the lid and looked, and said, "I didn't expect this smell to be quite good."

Jiang Ning responded briefly, and opened a small paper bag in his hand, which contained off-white powder. He divided the powder into three parts, poured it into another small porcelain bottle, stirred it with a clean bamboo stick for a while, and finally covered it .

He didn't know why, but he always felt that Han Zhiyuan's eyes were extremely hot. When he looked up, Han Zhiyuan's eyes were on fire. He was a little startled, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" They just ate It is indeed rice, not X medicine, right?

Han Zhiyuan ignored him, quickly put the two porcelain bottles into his arms, and suddenly picked up Jiang Ning by the waist, carried him into the room with agility, closed the door and fastened it, and his movements were like flowing water, all in one go.

After a while, there was the sound of water in the room, and Jiang Ning's voice was a little vague: "Huh? What is that—"

"Wait! Damn! What are you holding?!"

Han Zhiyuan didn't answer, and after a while, Jiang Ning understood everything. He finally knew why Han Zhiyuan suddenly lost his nerve, and finally beat the bed dumbfoundingly: "That's not how it works!"

Han Zhiyuan finally had time to reply: "Then you teach me how to use it?"

Jiang Ning gritted his teeth: "All right, all right, take your hands out first."

Han Zhiyuan responded, "Oh."

Jiang Ning was a little annoyed: "You agreed, but you took it out!"

Han Zhiyuan had no choice but to do so reluctantly, and Jiang Ning immediately said, "This is for wiping chilblains on hands, not for this!"

"Oh, that's just right," Han Zhiyuan paused, and said unambiguously, "It's the same everywhere, as long as it works."

Jiang Ning snorted: "Your uncle..."

What is digging a hole and jumping by himself? He has seen it today...

Jiang Ning was dragged by Han Zhiyuan all afternoon, announcing that for a hundred days, until it was almost time to return to the camp, Han Zhiyuan rode away on horseback, and when he reached the gate of the camp, Cheng Wu was already there guarding, seeing When he came back on time, his complexion looked better.

Han Zhiyuan got off the horse and threw the reins to him. Cheng Wu touched the big horse's mane distressedly and asked, "What did you feed it today?"

Han Zhiyuan thought for a while and replied, "Grass." If the withered grass by the river counts, it should be eaten.

Cheng Wu glared at him: "Only grass?"

Han Zhiyuan nodded, and Cheng Wu's heart ached immediately, and he said, "How can I be full just by eating grass? I'll be hungry."

Han Zhiyuan said that he didn't know if the horse would be hungry, but he was not hungry anyway.

From then on, Jiang Ning found that Cai Peng never came to find fault again. However, in Cai Peng's view, let alone come to find fault, he saw Jiang Ning now and wanted to hide away three miles away.

Due to the rapid cold weather, most of the merchants in Shahe City had already evacuated. When winter came, the canals were frozen, and it was impossible to walk even if they wanted to. The market gradually became deserted.

On this day, it started to rain, and Jiang Ning was settling accounts in the goods store, when two middle-aged men suddenly came outside, both carrying a roll of fur, standing under the eaves, as if preparing to hide from the rain.

Jiang Ning raised his head, and there were two old faces, bearded, dark, with round arms and thick waist, and a burly figure, occasionally looking into the lobby, Jiang Ning thought for a while, walked over and said: "If the two of you Don't mind, you can come in to shelter from the rain."

The two men looked at each other, and the shorter one said politely, "Thank you, no need."

Since they were unwilling, Jiang Ning didn't persuade them much. When he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the furs on their shoulders. He was slightly startled, and asked aloud, "Do you sell your furs?"

Both of them were stunned for Jiang Ning's sudden question, but the short man hesitated and refused, "Not for sale."

Jiang Ning smiled and said sincerely: "To be honest, I saw that you have a white tiger skin here. It happens that our store is out of stock. Can you discuss it and sell it to us?"

The short man was about to speak, but the taller man stopped him and signaled with his eyes, the short man had no choice but to change his words: "Yes."

"Please come in." Jiang Ning led the two into the lobby, and untied two rolls of fur. Among them, there were indeed several complete white tiger skins, and they were the ones that had just been processed. The fur was shiny, and it was the best.

After thinking for a while, he said to the two big men, "How do you want to sell these tiger skins?"

One of the slightly taller men stretched out a hand and made a comparison, and the other man said, "Twenty."

Jiang Ning touched the fur and continued to ask, "How old is this skin?"

The taller man still didn't speak, and he motioned with his eyes, and the shorter man hurriedly said, "It wasn't long before the call was made two months ago."

His accent was a bit strange, as if every word wanted to roll his tongue, but he forced it straight again, which sounded a bit vague. Jiang Ning frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "There are not so many presents in small shops nowadays. Yin, how about this, please wait a moment, I will let the guy go to the bank."

The two men looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Jiang Ning wrote a piece of paper without haste, sealed it privately, put it in an envelope, went to the backyard, found a clerk, and whispered: " Send it to General Shi's mansion, if General Shi is not in the mansion, then go to the city tower to have a look, be sure to hand it over to General, hurry up."

The guy nodded and hurried away with the letter in his mouth.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, stood in the backyard for a while, and asked the waiter to serve tea to the two men, then entered the lobby, and apologized to the two men: "I'm really sorry, please wait a moment Wait a moment, the man will be back soon."

The two of them nodded after hearing this, as if they were not very talkative, they took a sip or two of tea and then put it down, as if it was not to their liking, then they just sat there in a daze, not talking to each other.

There was silence in the warehouse for a while, except for the light patter of rainwater falling on the tiles. After a while, there were only two thumps and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Jiang Ning immediately put down the pen and paper, and said to the clerk, "Get the rope quickly."

The guy took the rope from behind the counter that is usually used for tying goods. His two fingers were so thick, and he came over tremblingly. While tying up the two men who fainted, he said to Jiang Ning: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper!" , why did you tie them up?" They are not a black shop.

Jiang Ning's eyes were a little deep, and he lingered on those two people, saying: "They are not from Zeguo."
