Lintai Storm Record

"Give me some money."

"Ah...how much?"

"20 taels, is there any? If not, I'll go find Zhou Xian." Lu Guan collected himself, and came up to touch Song Qianzhi's forehead.

Song Qianzhi retracted with a strange expression, and said awkwardly: "It's not hot anymore."

Regardless of Song Qianzhi's avoidance, Lu Guan quickly put his hand on his neck and stood up.

"The fever has finally subsided, otherwise you will become a disaster victim in Rongzhou. There are only three of us this time." Lu Guan said, "Your health is too poor. I will teach you a few sets of boxing when I go back."

"I don't want to learn, you can practice your wild tricks yourself." Song Qianzhi mocked.

All the masters who have taught Song Qianzhi have been with the crown prince. His martial arts are not weak, but he is lazy.

"It's delicious and lazy to make." Lu Guan commented, and asked Song Qianzhi to go down to eat by himself, go to the bag to dig out the silver, take it and leave.

☆、The Difficulty of Rongzhou ([-])

Before evening, Rongzhou City was close in sight. Panting, Song Qianzhi stood on his horse and pulled the reins vigorously.

"Here we go?"

Zhou Xian lowered his bamboo hat and raised his voice, "Do you want me to clear the way for the adults first?"

"Let's go, the sooner you enter the city, the sooner you can help me." After speaking, Lu Guan slapped his horse's butt and rushed out.

The gate of Rongzhou City was closed tightly, Zhou Xian went up and beat wildly, but no one came out, the dozens of people lined up on the city wall, obviously someone saw them from the city wall, none of the soldiers moved.

Simply inexplicable.Song Qianzhi walked out of the city, covered his eyebrows with one hand, looked up, and then shouted: "Open the gate, open the city gate, we are imperial envoys!"

A soldier moved at the city gate.

Song Qianzhi had just recovered from the wind and cold, and his body was weak. He rode his horse and galloped day and night, and his physical strength was on the verge of limit.When they got there, they were not allowed to enter, and their lungs almost exploded.

"What about the decree?"

Hearing Song Qianzhi's question, Lu Guan took out the imperial decree from his arms, and was about to go down to the city to speak out, when the city gate finally opened.

A city gate captain ran out in a hurry, his leather armor was not fully dressed yet.

"What are you all doing?!" Song Qianzhi interrogated all the high officials in Beijing all the year round, and he was so powerful after drinking it.

The captain of Chengmen scrambled to Song Qianzhi, saw Song Qian's extraordinary demeanor, and spoke standard Mandarin, and saw the unusually tall man next to him holding a roll of yellow silk in his hand, presumably it was The imperial decree, with eyes full of fear, hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and reported: "I didn't know the arrival of the imperial envoy, my subordinates have neglected their duties, my subordinates have neglected their duties..."

Song Qianzhi waved his hand: "Don't talk about it, let's go, go in, where are you masters of the state capital?"

"Master Shen has gone to give out porridge, and is not in the yamen."

A group of three people followed the city gate captain and went directly to the state government office to wait.There were no people on the main road in Rongzhou City, which was wide enough to accommodate six carriages. Occasionally, someone would appear, all wrapped up in cotton-padded jackets, bowing their heads and walking briskly forward.

All the shops were closed, and on the two main streets passing by on horseback, only a medicine hall named Xinglinchun was open. The wind blew the cloth banners hanging outside the medicine hall. The sky was gloomy, and a long queue formed outside the door. .

There were everyone in the team, old people, children, and strong men who were out of shape, all of them had gray faces and slack eyes, and they didn't respond to the horse's hooves stepping past them.

There was no one in the Yamen of the state capital, and the three of them were taken to the small building on the east side of the Yamen to receive the imperial envoys.Although there are no people in the small building on weekdays, and it is cleaned every day, it is still clean.It's just that the bedding needs to be changed, and the decorations on the table, towels on the wooden shelf, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc. must be done now.

There was no one in charge, and the servant girl obeyed the order of the Chengmen captain, brought tea, and waited outside.

Chengmen Wei has something to do, so he can't wait any longer, and he will go as soon as he confesses his crime.

At the beginning of the Hai Dynasty, Song Qianzhi sat cross-legged on the couch, dozing off with his hands on the low table, and was wearing a big robe brought by Lu Guan to change.

The voice of the servant girl outside was heard.

Someone was calling: "Master is back."

Song Qian shook his head, woke up, and put on his shoes on the ground. Zhou Xian was guarding the door all the time, holding a long sword in his arms, like a majestic door god.

Lu Guan called Song Qianzhi to stop.

Song Qianzhi: "?"

Lu Guan straightened his brocade robe, which was messy and messy, and walked out the door.Song Qianzhi hurriedly followed behind him and went out.

In the empty state government office, a man in his thirties and forties, with a thin figure, a pale face, and a dark complexion came, followed by a clerk in the yamen, a secretary, and a young man, holding a lantern in front of him. according to the road.

"Master Shen."

Hearing this sound, Shen Yushu stopped and followed the prestige.

"Imperial envoy?" Shen Yushu had already heard the report from the city gate captain, frowned, and cupped his hands slightly towards Lu Guan who was striding forward, and continued, "Do you have any documents from the imperial court?"

While Shen Yushu was examining the documents, he raised his eyes to look at Lu Guan. His eyes slid over him, swept over Zhou Xian, and finally settled on Song Qianzhi's face. His eyes froze immediately.This young man's life is enough to make people's eyes shine, but he is too young, with beautiful and delicate features, one can tell at a glance that he was raised by pampering.

Shen Yushu had to be careful with the series of changes that happened in Rongzhou in the past few days.

"Who is this?" Shen Yushu asked Lu Guan, looking at Song Qianzhi.

Song Qianzhi came up and showed Shen Yushu both the official and private seals.On weekdays, it would be rare to have to tease the state capital, but it's a pity that he was ill for two or three days on the road, and he didn't have the energy to argue with him.

Song Qianzhi smiled and said: "Secretary Governor, Song Qianzhi, accompanied our Secretary Supervisor to announce the decree. Where does Mr. Shen plan to receive the decree?"

Shen Yushu's expression froze.

"Three imperial envoys, wait a moment, I will order someone to clean the main office." Shen Yushu repeatedly ordered people to clean it, and also burned incense, and went into the back office first to change clothes.

"My lord, can you give me something to eat?"

Lu Guan never took a look at Song Qian.

"Ah, yes, the reception is not good enough. The imperial envoy will go back to his seat, so I will send someone to prepare the meals. How can I let the three adults be hungry? Wang Qingshan, hurry up, go and ask the kitchen to take out the chicken and duck for cooking." , steam a basket of white rice."

After returning to the room, Lu Guan's expression was not very good.

"We always have to eat before doing things. The victims have nothing to eat, and we don't eat. Who will help the disaster?" Song Qianzhi said with his hands in his hands. He picked up the teacup and looked at it. There was no water, and there was no water even after picking up the teapot.

Zhou Xian took the teapot with a clear mind and went out to ask someone to add water.

"I hope the imperial doctor will come soon. What's the use of the three of us, just stare at Shen Yushu and release the food." Song Qianzhi sniffed, looking like a sick ghost.

Shen Yushu changed his clothes and asked someone to pass it on, and Song Qianzhi followed Lu Guan to announce the decree to Shen Yushu. The main government office of the state capital was deserted, as if no one had attended the court for a long time.

After hearing the decree, Shen Yushu frowned, took the decree, and sighed.

"Lord Lu, it's not that I don't want to open a warehouse, it's that there is no food in the warehouse."

Lu Guan: "At the end of last month, the capital ordered to open the Chuxi warehouse from Quzhou to transport 50 shi of grain to Rongzhou. This is the warehouse where Mr. Shen inspected the income. Why is there no grain?"

Shen Yushu looked up at the crowd, stretched out his hand, and said, "Talk while eating, are the imperial envoys hungry?"

Song Qianzhi: "He starved to death a long time ago!"

Lu Guan: "..."

Shen Yushu laughed: "Master Song is straight."

Lu Guan squinted at Song Qianzhi, as if he had something to say, he swallowed it back.

The wind chicken and wind duck are all prepared in advance. It is very convenient to take out or steam or boil. In addition, there is a dish of fried vegetables and stewed tofu with fish head.

It is far inferior to what Song Qianzhi used at home, but these two days on the road, he either ate pancakes or steamed buns. He was already so hungry that his eyes glowed green. Song Qianzhi didn't care to talk when eating, and only listened to Shen Yushu and Lu Guan's talk. .

Rongzhou has suffered from banditry for three years, and the weather this year has been bad since autumn. The sun does not shine during the drying season, and it rained for a month and a half.Half a month ago, Shen Yushu sent a letter to Yang Wen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and at the same time left for Beijing. After finally getting through the relationship with the Ministry of Household Affairs, he brought the grain back into the warehouse.

The dam facing the river in the northwest of Rongzhou fell into disrepair, and the garrison was led by generals to repair the dyke. At this time, the bandits hiding in the Heilang Village in the mountains of Rongzhou came down the mountain and ransacked the government office and the granary. Get it clean.

Hearing that Song Qianzhi didn't care about eating, he asked, "Master Shen didn't report such a big case?"

"Master Yang knows." Shen Yushu said.

"There was no movement in the capital. The troops were dispatched to take the Heilang village, and the food was brought back first. He didn't dare to use the official money. These bandits are so crazy, how many people are there in the Heilang village?" Song Qianzhi ask.

"Hundreds of miles to the southwest of Rongzhou are mountains. Heilangzhai is hidden in the mountains and is good at guerrilla warfare. Originally, there were not many people. The family led the way into the mountains. The mountains are connected in groups, and they cannot be defended. Rongzhou has never been a pass fortress, and the garrison in the city is only two thousand. In the north, General Bai Guyou is in charge of Beiguan, and now outside Beiguan they are fighting with the Amodanjung clan, even if it is a truce, it is not easy to directly withdraw. Besides, this action is too big." Shen Yushu's complexion was dark, His eyes are blue now, with bloodshot eyes that haven't had a good rest for several days.

He leaned back and almost sat down on the ground, but fortunately Zhou Xian dragged him back and sat down.

Shen Yushu slapped his forehead: "Forgot, forgot, I must sleep well tonight, otherwise I will collapse before I get over the difficulties. Fortunately, the three adults arrived in time, I wonder if the doctor brought it?"

"The doctor is on his way."

Shen Yu was overjoyed in writing: "That's good, I've heard a lot about Du Yizheng's medical skills, and he has a wonderful hand of rejuvenation..."

As soon as he heard this, Song Qianzhi knew what he meant, and interrupted: "I don't know who sent it." Seeing that Shen Yushu's face sank again, Song Qianzhi said, "It's the imperial doctor, the leader of Xinglin, and the state capital first. Relax, eat enough and go to bed, and we will be called tomorrow morning, Master Shen, is he going to give out porridge tomorrow?"

Shen Yushu covered his eyes tiredly, shook his head and said: "Someone came to sue a few days ago, followed the clues and arrested the second master of Heilangzhai, and went to the prison tomorrow to ask him if he thought it through. Food, go on like this..."

"How did you catch it?" At this table, Song Qianzhi didn't like the food at all. He wolfed it down at first, but now he couldn't eat it when he heard Shen Yushu's words, so he put down his chopsticks.

"He brought dozens of shi of grain to the city, which caused looting by the people, and someone reported it to the officials."

"Who reported to the official?" Song Qianzhi asked.

"A man who didn't get food."

"He did what the government should do." Zhou Xian put down his wine glass, groping for the scar in the corner of his eye with his thumb, his eyes implied appreciation, like a shooting star in the dark night, "Master Shen, why don't you take me to listen with you tomorrow."

Shen Yushu glanced at Zhou Xian suspiciously.

Lu Guan opened his mouth and said, "Master Shen, would like to know where the grain is stored in the Black Wolf Village?"

Song Qianzhi shook his head: "Not only that, Master Shen must want this person to draw a map of Heilangzhai so that he can mobilize people to encircle and suppress it."

Shen Yushu's eyes were amazed: "Master Song has a good opinion."

"He has the heart to help the victims. Even if you let him go, he will come again. You don't have to force him to find out where the food is stored. It is a great achievement to wipe out the Black Wolf Village and report it to the court."

"Shen is a greedy person." Shen Yushu sighed, "The Black Wolf Village has been entrenched in the mountains for nearly ten years, and the banditry is like a fire, and it ebbs and flows. There are more than [-] people in this bandit village."

With so many people already in the same situation, plus Rongzhou's current epidemic situation, more people will go to Heilangzhai for a bite to eat.Song Qianzhi thought that he knew more about the problems in Rongzhou than before he came here, so Xu San didn't mention Heilangzhai at all, but Xu San is in a county in Rongzhou, so he might not know the situation in the state capital.

"Tomorrow we will also meet the second head of the Black Wolf Village."

After hearing Lu Guan's words, Shen Yushu frowned.

"We are in the dark room, with Mr. Shen as the main one. We just listen and don't interfere with Mr. Shen's decision."

When Lu Guan said this, Shen Yushu had no choice but to agree.

Song Qianzhi was so thirsty that he didn't have enough to eat at night, so he got up in the middle of the night to find water to drink.The entire building in the back office of the state capital was used to receive Beijing officials, and Song Qianzhi no longer had a fever. He slept by himself tonight, his hands and feet ached from the cold, and he just wanted to find a cup of hot tea to drink.

As Song Qianzhi pushed open the door, a gust of cold wind rolled back, blowing his nose to run wildly.

"Come here." He shouted, but no one came.Song Qianzhi was speechless.It seems that in this state government office, everything has to be done by oneself.He looked around, there was no one on duty outside, the wind was blowing loudly, and he didn't know where someone could provide some hot water, so he went downstairs and wanted to go to the kitchen based on his memory.

When he reached the corner of the stairs, Song Qianzhi sneezed and almost threw the teapot out.

There was a strange smell in the night wind, as if something had rotted, and it seemed to be just an illusion.

There was a sound of "creaking" as the floor in disrepair was stepped on, and there was a jade mirror for suppressing evil on the wall of the stairs.

Song Qianzhi turned left, just took a step, bumped into something head-on, and immediately lost his mind.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

"Ah!" Zhou Xian gasped for breath, he couldn't catch the belt of his trousers, and his strong leg muscles were shivering in the cold wind, so he hastily lifted up his trousers.

"What's your name?!" Song Qianzhi was scared to death, "I'm scared to death!"

"Young Master, you scared my pants off." Zhou Xian said helplessly.

"Where can I get more tea?" Song Qianzhi asked.

Zhou Xian: "How do I know?"

"You go with me." Song Qianzhi said shivering, he was dying of cold, thinking why he didn't wrap up his robe.

At this moment, the two of them heard a slow and steady footsteps, creaking on the floor.

The snow wind was blowing, and it was hard to tell whether the footsteps were coming down from the top or going up from the bottom.

Song Qianzhi and Zhou Xian looked at each other, his heart almost jumped out, and he quickly hid behind Zhou Xian, but he didn't know whether he should stand one level above him or one level below him.

At this moment, two hands grabbed the shoulders of Song Qianzhi and Zhou Xian at the same time.

A frightened scream resounded through the entire third floor, and was swallowed by the swift sound of the wind.

The shadow in the darkness spoke.

"Don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you two doing, broken sleeves?"

It was clearly Lu Guan's voice, low and hoarse.

Zhou Xian: "Master Lu, you are too dark."

Song Qianzhi: "You also wear this black when you sleep?"

After Lu Guan lit the candle with the tinder in his hand, the two of them could see clearly. Lu Guan was wearing his dark blue martial robe, with his bronze chest open, not afraid of the cold wind at all, watching them coldly. The half of Zhou Xian's sleeve, which was tightly tugged, moved to his face, and then he frowned disgustedly: "Wipe your nose."

☆、The Difficulty of Rongzhou ([-])

Song Qianzhi shrank his neck and asked Lu Guan listlessly: "What are you doing if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

Lu Guan narrowed his eyes: "Fuck you."

"..."

Zhou Xian laughed out loud, showing kindness, and said in a low voice: "Master Song is thirsty, so he got up to find some water to drink." After a pause, he seemed to have just recovered, "Master Lu, where are you going?"

"Walk casually." Lu Guan took two steps downstairs, then turned around, "Let's go, don't you want to drink water?"

Song Qianzhi followed, and Lu Guan took him to the kitchen. It was late at night, no one was around, and the air in the kitchen smelled of charcoal, firewood, and cold oil.

Lu Guan fetched water from the tank and poured it into the cauldron, skillfully lit the fire.

In an instant, the flames shone brightly on his face.

"It will burn for a while, go up and put on your clothes." Lu Guan didn't raise his head.

Song Qianzhi was really very cold, he jumped upstairs to get dressed, and then came down, let the cold wind blow back and forth, completely awake.

Song Qianzhi sat down next to Lu Guan and stretched out his hands to warm himself by the fire.

Lu Guan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to his hand.

These are the hands of someone who doesn't work very often. Song Qianzhi has practiced martial arts, so he doesn't know what kind of weapon he used.Lu Guan thought to himself, his fingers were slender and white, with thin and distinct joints, like jade flutes, very beautiful.

"Really cold."

"Come here." Lu Guan signaled Song Qianzhi to sit closer, putting his hand on his shoulder.

This made Song Qianzhi feel embarrassed, he sneaked a glimpse of Lu Guan's expression as usual, relaxed his mind, leaned on Lu Guan's shoulder to keep warm, stretched his hands towards the stove, and kept rubbing each other.

"You want to go out?" Song Qianzhi felt that Lu Guan was a deep-minded person, and he came out fully dressed in the middle of the night, and it must not be for the purpose of peeing.

"Hmm." Lu Guan seemed to have something on his mind.

"I'm not afraid of running into ghosts in the middle of the night." Song Qianzhi teased.

"There is no ghost in my heart, even if a ghost appears, I will not be afraid."

Song Qianzhi twitched his lips, sat upright, and signaled Lu Guan to come over.

"Take me there, I also want to see what's going on in Rongzhou City."

Lu Guan was a little surprised, took a look at Song Qian, and added fire to the stove.Boil the water, put it in a bowl, take it out and let it cool for less than half a moment, Song Qianzhi finished drinking the water and followed Lu Guan out of the state government office.

The two were wandering in the street, Song Qianzhi was a head shorter than Lu Guan, and his back was hunched, the two shadows on the ground, one long and the other short, looked like two hungry ghosts walking together.

"Look, Master Lu." Song Qianzhi pointed to Lu to watch.

Lu Guan: "...boring."

"You're not bored, come out for a walk in the middle of the night." Song Qianzhi sneered, walking next to Lu Guan, although he never touched a half of Lu Guan's clothes, it was not that cold after all.

On the long street, the sky is gloomy and snowy. The fine snow falls from the sky, and the scattered lights shine through the windows.

In such a late night, many people have not yet fallen asleep, sporadic dogs barking and babies crying break the dead silence from time to time.

Walking outside the Xinglinchun Medicine Hall, I saw that the medicine hall was not closed, and there were dozens of people waiting in the yard. The crowd was silent, and the child was sleeping soundly on the mother's chest with his frozen red face.

A young man came out from inside and rushed to Lu Guan.

Lu Guan stretched out his hand to help him.

"Thank you." The young man hurriedly thanked him and walked quickly.

"The family members are sick." Song Qianzhi sighed.With his hands in his sleeves, he thought of Zhou Wanxin, wondering if his mother had taken the medicine and fell asleep on time at home. When he was four or five years old, his mother was very beautiful.Growing up so big, Song Qianzhi has seen countless beauties, but there has never been one with a pair of eyes full of aura, like a celestial being, like his mother.It's just that I don't know when, the Song family has scoured it like a flower that has been drained of energy, withered and withered.

"This doctor is a kind-hearted man." Lu Guan glanced in and led Song Qianzhi to the patient.

An old lady next to her raised her head and asked, "Brother, your family members are also sick?"

The arrival of two new patients revived those who had waited through the long night.

One person said: "Miansheng, I don't know where you two live?"

Song Qianzhi met Lu Guan's eyes, and he coughed violently, leaning against Lu Guan's shoulder.

"Going to Guibao to do business, this is my second cousin."

Song Qianzhi: "This is my eldest cousin."

"..." Lu Guan smelled Song Qianzhi's breath, it smelled very good, not like the fragrance of a woman.Lu Guan held his shoulders so that he could lean more comfortably.

Song Qianzhi simply crossed his legs and leaned comfortably on the land to watch, his eyes were half closed, and he looked very sick and confused.

"It's not easy, we depend on each other. Why do you come to Rongzhou to do business? Rongzhou suffered a catastrophe after autumn. We want to leave the city, but we can't. Why are fools like you trying to get in there?" The old man beat the ground angrily with his cane.

"That's right, it's a fool to run if you can." Everyone echoed.

"I came to Rongzhou to collect some good inkstones. I didn't expect that the city would be closed all of a sudden." Lu Guan said with a sad face, "I don't know what the governor of the state thinks."

Immediately, a middle-aged man said: "Master Shen is a good official, little brother, don't talk nonsense."

"That is, if Mr. Shen didn't pay for the porridge every day, many people would die." The woman said.

"A lot of people have died now. If it wasn't for Mr. Shen, they wouldn't be able to buy food even if they had money." Someone sighed, "I heard that the second head of Heilang Village was arrested..."

"He is here to do good deeds. Master Shen is right. Since ancient times, officials and bandits have been incompatible. What's wrong with officials arresting mountain bandits?"

"You can't say that, we also ate food from Heilang Village..."

"I heard that Heilangzhai robbed the official treasury. Hey, life is hard. Our city is empty now. It's better to die." The person who spoke coughed twice, leaned against the flower stand behind him, There was already nothing on the shelf, and the flowers and plants could not survive this season, so he gasped for breath, his lips trembling slightly.

"You from the Liu family, stop talking." The person next to him stroked his chest vigorously twice.

At this time, another person walked in the ice and snow, coughing while walking, beating his chest desperately with one hand, walked to the edge of the crowd, found a small corner, and was about to sit, when the bench was taken away by someone, and sat down In the mud.

"You..." The man was so angry that his face was blue and purple, his eyes were bulging, and he opened his mouth to scold.

A young man was sending a patient out, but the man had to keep quiet for fear of being chased away.

Song Qianzhi noticed this scene, leaned on Lu Guan quietly and asked, "Who is that?"

"How do I know, it's cold?" Lu Guanyi lowered his head, his lips almost touching Song Qianzhi's forehead.

Song Qianzhi's face was reddish, and he muttered in a low voice: "I'm going to be killed by you, I'm still not recovering from the cold, no one can make troubles better than you."

Lu Guan's ears were red to the base of his neck, and he looked very hot.

Song Qianzhi touched his neck with his hand, and asked suspiciously: "It's so hot, don't you have a fever?"

Lu Guan pressed his hand and glared at him angrily: "Don't touch it randomly." Then he explained, "I was born like this, fire body."

Song Qianzhi stared blankly at the man who had fallen on the ground and got up, then stood shyly aside, many people were looking at him, one glance after another.

He stood for a while, then turned around and left.

The crowd started talking.

"He still has a face. If I were him, I wouldn't let anyone find out if I died of illness in the house." The man who pulled the bench snorted.

"Don't talk about it, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and it's helpless." The old man took a long breath, and it was very difficult to say a word.

"Even if I die of poverty, I don't want to do this fucking thing of digging up ancestral graves."

A woman said: "I hope Mr. Shen will forgive so many people for the sake of saving so many people in Heilangzhai."

"I think the government can't count on it. So many people died. They didn't eat or drink, and they surrounded the city. You ate the porridge given by Mr. Shen and put a high hat on him. Whoever died of starvation will die I know. Far water does not put out near fire, our common people’s life is so hard, can the court pay more attention? That Li Yeyuan, Li Xiang, can be the people’s decision?" The man snorted heavily, "The children he gave birth to are golden mountains and silver mountains to eat and use. Endless, who is not greedy when you are an official? What did you eat tonight? What did Mr. Shen eat?"

"Stop talking!" The old man hit the cane heavily in his hand.

The man looked unconvinced and closed his voice.

For a while, only the sound of snow on the tarpaulin was heard, rustling.

When it was Song Qian's time, Lu Guan motioned for others to go in first, and after sitting for a full hour, only Song Qianzhi and Lu Guan were left.

The young man invited the two of them in.

The old doctor signaled Song Qianzhi to stretch out his hand, raised his head to look into his eyes, glanced at Lu Guan cautiously, and sneered.

"It's so late at night, and there are still people here looking for entertainment? Since you are not sick, let's go, I also want to eat and sleep."

The young man walked forward frowning.

"The two of you are not sick, so go back quickly, the medicine hall can't stay overnight." He regarded Song Qianzhi and Lu Guan as refugees.

"Wait a minute, doctor, please write a copy of the prescription for people who have the disease, we will be useful." Song Qianzhi took out the silver.

Lu Guan quickly pressed his hand.

The old doctor was about to speak to drive people away, but a man of five ranks and three rough men knelt down in front of him. Lu Guan put his hands on his knees and knelt very upright.

Song Qianzhi stared blankly.

Lu Guan raised his head and said earnestly, "Thank you, sir, for helping the people of Rongzhou to see a doctor and get medicine."

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said: "Doctors don't treat people, what kind of medicine hall do you open, you kid..."

"Hanging the pot to help the world has the merits of all ages. Now there are many people in Rongzhou who are sick, and you are the only one who is still staying up at night in the whole street. The younger generation is so respectful. This kneeling old man deserves it."

The old man looked at Lu Guan sharply for a while.

"Get up, you two, are you from the government?"

Lu Guan stood up.

Song Qianzhi admired the old man's gaze in his heart.

"Go back and tell you, Mr. Shen, I can save people even if I sit in Xinglinchun. I'm not used to living in the government office of the state government. If he wants to, tell him to release Long Jinshan." The old man got up and went inside without wanting to say more.

"My father is going to rest, and the pharmacy will be open again before dawn. This day, hundreds of people will be treated. Do you want to cure the epidemic?" The young man lowered his voice and looked behind the curtain I glanced at him, listened for a moment with my ears upright, but there was no sound, and then I said, "I will write you a copy of the food you eat frequently, and a copy of the medicine for preventing diseases. People in good health can also take it. If you come into contact with a sick person, you can also ask Mr. Shen to boil it for someone who is not sick to take it. There are only two of us, father and son, in the medicine hall, and it is really powerless."

A heavy cough came from behind the curtain.

The young man regained his composure, wrote down two prescriptions quickly, and blew them away.

"Generally, patients get medicine directly in the pharmacy. I have already memorized the prescription, or add one or two more herbs, all according to my father's orders. But..." He said helplessly, "It is difficult to go out of the city now, and the medicine is exhausted. What's worse, why don't people enter and leave Rongzhou all the time? What's more, the goods brought in from the east bank are all transported out of Rongzhou's canals. This is not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, the court will know what Master Shen is doing." He spoke quite harshly, and the young man only thought that the two in front of him were Shen Yushu running errands in the state capital and wanted to invite his father to sit in the state capital.

Song Qianzhi and Lu Guan went out as soon as they picked up Fangzi.

After leaving Xinglinchun, Song Qianzhi was already shivering from the cold.Lu Guan also wanted to go to the river to have a look.

"Let's go, let's go, it's not cold." Song Qianzhi sneezed earth-shatteringly.

"Go faster, it won't be cold, you have to move."

Song Qianzhi hummed, dragged his nose, and walked forward slowly, muttering, "Lord Lu, let's discuss something."

"Say."

"Could you not come out in the middle of the night to do errands?"

Lu Guan: "I didn't ask you to come out again."

"I have to protect you."

Lu Guan was taken aback, and said speechlessly, "You came out to protect me?" He glanced at Song Qianzhi, who was sick and distrustful, "Who is protecting whom!"

Song Qianzhi was too cold to speak, one hand tugged on Lu Guan's sleeve, Lu Guan had to slow down, walking forward, looking back from time to time.

"When can we go back to Beijing?" Song Qianzhi asked.

"Five or six days."

Returning to Beijing means that Lou Jiangyue's case can be concluded as soon as possible. Lu Guan intends to follow Lin Shutong's line to find out the concubine who gave Lin Shutong poisonous health tea. Yes, throw it in front of Fu Mingshao, he can do whatever he wants.

"This is not what the emperor wanted." Song Qianzhi patted Lu Guan on the head, but Lu Guan didn't expect it at all, couldn't hide, and stared at him.

Song Qianzhi looked amused, just opened his mouth, felt his throat a little burnt, coughed, and was stretched out by Lu Guan with an arm on his shoulder with an uncomfortable face, as if he was hugging him, Song Qianzhi laughed Twice, "You are so warm." He even touched the chest muscle in Lu Guan's open chest, it feels really good, and the more you pinch it, the more intense it becomes.

Lu Guan's face twitched, his brows were tightly furrowed: "Don't be fussy..."

"They're all men." Song Qianzhi put his hands in Lu Guan's arms more and more shamelessly, warming them.

"Presumptuous! Song Qianzhi, is this your attitude towards your boss?" Lu Guan pulled Song Qianzhi's hand out, it felt very strange, Song Qianzhi's hand was cold and slippery, scratching back and forth on his heart , is simply fatal.

Song Qianzhi had no choice but to tuck his hands into his sleeves, and said expressionlessly, "Where are you going? After walking for a while, I'll be blown into a popsicle."

Lu Guan glanced at him maliciously, nodded: "Well, it's very big."

"..." Song Qianzhi was choked and speechless after a long time of love affairs.

Lu Guan started talking seriously, and there are ten Song Qianzhi who are not opponents.

Crows quacked on the branches, which were bare of leaves at this time.Under the tree is the largest water transport terminal in Rongzhou City.

Looking at Lu Guan's tall and lonely back in front of him, Song Qianzhi subtly noticed it.

Lu Guan has been here.

The river was not yet frozen, and there was a thin layer of crystal clear ice on the embankment, which would melt at dawn.The river was very shallow and the flow was slow, and the small civilian boat ran aground on the mudflat.

"God wants to accept people."

On the empty pier, there was no one guarding it. Song Qianzhi's words were blown away by the wind as soon as he uttered his mouth, and only the whistling of snow wind could be heard.The snow didn't know when it stopped, Lu Guan jumped down the river bank in twos and twos, and went to the boat.

Song Qianzhi had no choice but to follow.

"This ship has transported grain." The grains that Lu Guan picked up from the deck were indica rice that had not been hulled.

Song Qian looked forward and crushed the shell on his teeth.

"It's good rice, released from Chuxi's warehouse."

Lu looked around and said, "There are footprints. Someone has already come on board and scooped out all the rice in the corner. I dug it out from the planks of the boat."

Suddenly, Lu Guan pulled Song Qianzhi behind him, straightened his neck, stepped on the side of the boat with his bent foot, showing a faint gesture of starting strength.

Song Qianzhi also heard footsteps approaching, and there was more than one person.

The terrain on the pier is open, and they are exposed to the light, Song Qianzhi sucked his snot hard.

Lu Guan: "..."

Dozens of black shadows came over from the scattered boats, just waiting for an order.

☆、The Difficulty of Rongzhou (四)

Just when Song Qianzhi was about to pull out the dagger from his boots and share it with Lu Guan, he was pushed into the cabin by Lu Guan, hit his head on the board of the boat, and there was a buzzing sound and staring eyes.

Song Qianzhi: "???"

Then Lu Guanyi got short and rolled into the boat, pulling Song Qianzhi under him.

Amidst the swishing sounds, Song Qianzhi heard that the crossbow|arrow was nailed to the boat, and was about to turn over when he was rolled over the board by Lu Guan.

The short arrows were sent out like rain with the man in black pulling the trigger, one after another shot through the boat canopy made of bamboo slats. Lu Guan rolled around in the cabin with Song Qianzhi in his arms. Arrow up, ready for the second launch.

"Let's go!" Song Qianzhi roared, watching the machine and pushing Lu Guan up, the two ducked down to dodge, and ran out from the stern.

The black shadow chased after him silently.

Lu Guan and Song Qianzhi appear and disappear between the boat canopies.

Song Qianzhi wanted to get into a boat, but Lu Guan grabbed his hand and pushed him forward, signaling with his eyes.

There is a wooden house more than ten meters away in front of the right, which is supposed to be the place where the night watchman of the pier lives.

Song Qianzhi pulled out his dagger, snapped off the lock on the door, pushed the door open, and the dust hit his face, which made Song Qianzhi sneez earth-shatteringly, and he quickly pressed his mouth and nose.

It's too late.

Lu Guan hated the useless support of his forehead, so he had no choice but to admit it. He put his ear on the door, and sure enough, he heard the trembling sound of the wooden boards connected to the door being trampled by footsteps. Those people deliberately took light steps, obviously not skilled enough weak.

Lu Guan grabbed a black kitchen knife with a notch beside the cutting board, Song Qianzhi pulled out a dagger from the other boot with his left hand, holding a short dagger in both hands.

The window was pushed open a finger-width slit, and Song Qianzhi stuck his right eye on the slit and looked out.

After a brief count, there were eleven people, all dressed in black night clothes, orderly.In a flash, the wind swept back behind him.

While Lu Guan flew out, Song Qianzhi slammed the window panel out.

A man in black fell down with a muffled sound.

Panting, Song Qianzhi got out of the window, with the insteps of his feet upside down on the window sill, half of his body threw himself out of the window, and his daggers were tied to one person's shoulders. Hold the dagger loosely with three fingers, lift up your legs, spin your lower body upwards, and pull out the right dagger when it lands.

This series of actions was completed in one go between lightning and flint, as fast as electricity.

In Song Qianzhi's hands, the daggers are just like two blades as thin as cicada's wings.
