the enlightener says

Ren Tu was still drinking by himself, eating peanuts and crispy radishes very happily, but then he felt that there were two more people beside him, and he raised his head strangely.

He first saw Huang Yao with a smile clearly, then turned his head and saw Qin Ke's familiar face, he immediately screamed, his body subconsciously moved backwards, trying to escape, but he didn't realize he used it wrong With strength, his head fell back to the ground like an onion.

"You...you you you you, what do you want to do?" Ren Tu, who got up from the ground in a panic, pointed at Qin Ke with trembling fingers. It seemed that the memory of being thrown into the cesspit last time was still in his mind and could not be erased. go.

"I think he has to remember you forever." Huang Yao said to Qin Ke.

Qin Ke gave a wry smile, thinking that he was not in a good mood at the time, so he gave that order, but it was only that one time, why would he be afraid of being like this?

Huang Yao was also very straightforward. He stretched out his hand and pulled Ren Tu up, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, as long as you don't talk nonsense, I promise he won't throw you into the latrine. I just heard that you are a doctor?"

"I worked as a doctor for a year or two, just to earn some money. But my ancestors have been famous doctors for three generations. I have studied medicine since I was a child, and I am much better than those who live in poverty."

"Oh. Do you want to join the army?" Huang Yao asked again.

"It's none of your business." Ren Tu still shrank his body, his eyes looked up and down on Qin Ke, which made Qin Ke roll his eyes.

"If you want to join the army, that's none of my business." Huang Yao said with a smile, "What did they say when you went to the barracks?"

"They say I'm so thin that it's hard to even lift a weapon." Speaking of this, Ren Tu finally stood up straight and said with a bit of indignation, "What kind of talk is this? It's obviously judging people by their appearance. Who said that they would join the army?" I have to be five big and three thick, my body shape is comparable to that of a great general, take a look, isn't it a jade tree facing the wind?"

With a "poof", Qin Ke covered his mouth, but the laughter still leaked out from between his fingers.

Huang Yao also couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really... okay, but what I want is a doctor, and there is a shortage of doctors in the wounded barracks. If you want, go to the barracks and report my name, Huang Yao, and someone will arrange for me."

Ren Tu was slightly taken aback, and said, "Are you serious? Are you not lying?"

"Cheating or not, you'll know if you try it yourself." Qin Ke curled his lips and said, "But I'm a little worried that you won't dare to go, after all, it's always easy to brag."

This is a radical, but people like Ren Tu obviously like it very much, and immediately jumped up and shouted: "I'm not bragging! As long as I can join the army, I will go if I cut off my head!"

"How can we go after cutting off the head." Huang Yao glanced at Qin Ke, and the two exchanged a look full of meaning, "Then it's settled, we still have work to do, so let's take a step first."

7 Chapter Seventy

Speaking of this, Ren Tu was still a little skeptical, but couldn't hold back his restless heart, and finally went to the military camp after dinner.

Those who joined the army these days have been screened out batch after batch, and those who can stay are all strong and courageous people. Compared with those people, Ren Tu's thin figure looks like a small Chicken, really not worth mentioning.

So in front of that tall sergeant, Ren Tu still felt sorry for him, and he didn't dare to raise his head to speak loudly. He was very worried that he would be tricked and lose face again.

"You said Huang Yao sent you here?" The sergeant at the door frowned slightly.

It's just such a small expression, but Ren Tu almost scolded him: "Damn, I really got cheated, that guy is playing with me..."

But this is a military camp, and he was really worried that his noise would be picked up and beaten by this seemingly powerful sergeant, so he could only whisper: "If the military master thinks it's inappropriate, I'll leave first..."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, hunched over as if holding his tail between his buttocks, and planned to sneak away before he was ashamed and thrown home, but before he could run away, a large and powerful palm came across He directly held his thin shoulders.

"Wait, what are you in a hurry for?" The tall sergeant said with a smile, "I didn't say you are unsuitable, I was just wondering where I should arrange you."

Ren Tu's eyes widened, and soon he said with joy: "Master Jun is serious? Do you really want me?"

"Of course, you are a doctor, aren't you?"

"Yes! The little one has three generations of famous doctors! The little one has traveled all over the country and healed many people..."

"It's good to be a doctor, don't take it easy, I'm not a military master, my surname is Lu, you can call me General Lu." Abu waved his hand to stop the excited Ren Tu from continuing, "Well, I will arrange for you Going to the camp with the most casualties is very hard work, can you do it?"

"Of course, I can do things day and night." Ren Tu saw that he was really capable of joining the army, and his voice became louder, as if he wished to announce it loudly here, so that those who had looked down on him before would clean their eyes. Look at people with low dog eyes.

"Very good." Abu didn't know that this guy was sent into a cesspit by Qin Ke to eat a few mouthfuls of feces because of scolding Zhu Ran. He looked up and down at this thin and weak scholar who obviously had the heart of serving the country with fists, and said with a smile, "Then tell me with a smile. Let me come, I will take you to get the badge, although you don't have to stay in your own camp like those soldiers in the army, but if you enter or leave the barracks, you must report to your superiors and get permission, and you must not be slack."

"Yes." Ren Tu nodded again, following Abu almost like a chicken pecking at rice, if he completely swept away his wild appearance in the wine shop, he became cautious.

Abu introduced all the way, took Ren Tu to get his waist card, and entered the camp where the wounded and sick were placed, then patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Work hard, although you can't go into battle, you can also avoid danger. , in the future, you may be able to exchange for a title based on your qualifications and merits, so that you can glorify your descendants."

"Yes, thank you General Lu."

Ren Tu took root in the military camp in this way, and with his medical skills and drive, he was very appreciated by the superior.

In fact, in the past, it would never have been like this, but now it is also a special situation.

At the beginning, Gao Changgong and Huang Hansheng went out twice and took away a large number of doctors at the same time. Therefore, although there were sufficient food, grass and equipment in the barracks, the number of doctors was much smaller.

Zhu Ran once wrote a letter, and now the regent Sun Ji'an is also very aware of the importance of this matter, so with a swipe of a pen, he directly stuffed the medical officers in the palace into the army to fill the manpower vacancies.

This sounds like a beautiful thing, but most of the medical officials in the palace usually treat high-ranking officials and dignitaries. After entering the dirty and messy barracks full of blood and sweat, they immediately broke out.

Some old people who had stayed in the palace for a long time even relied on their old age to sell their old ones. They directly impeached Zhu Ran for using them like cattle and horses, which hurt the court's face.Sun Ji'an was also a little displeased, and directly beat the buttocks of several people with a military stick, and suppressed those complaints.

It is impossible to walk, but these pampered medical officers still find it difficult to adapt to the military camp. Not only are their movements as gentle as cattle, but their medication habits are far from the simple and simple habits of the army, so they are not as good as Ren Tu, a civilian doctor.

"It's just a group of people who eat too much gold and think they are powerful." On this day, Ren Ran once again quarreled with a medical officer in the palace, and after being forcibly pulled away, he angrily faced a group of people. A wounded soldier scolds his mother.

He is a person with no fame, although he did not expect to be treated differently by these medical officials, but these people put on airs in front of him, and even said from time to time that he is a third-rate doctor, which is unbearable Forbearance, with his temperament, naturally he wants to compete.

"Doctor, why bother arguing with them, anyway, after waiting for a while, they won't stay for long." The wounded, whose face was splashed with saliva, grinned, but twitched in pain from the knife wound on his leg At the corner of his mouth, "Anyway, we are a life you saved, so we will recognize you as a benefactor."

Ren Tu felt that it was very useful, so he laughed, bent down and pulled the gauze, and said, "Then let's change the dressing."

Half an hour later, Ren Tu watched the injury that was covered in cold sweat from the pain when the dressing was changed, and finally fell asleep with the help of tranquilizing drugs, and finally let out a long breath.

In fact, he didn't feel too tired, but just witnessed so many wounded soldiers passing in front of him in just a few days, some were dying, some were hissing and crying, and some were silent and patient, which inevitably caused some waves in his heart.

If it was him who went to the top of the city, would he be any better than these wounded soldiers?I'm afraid not, just yesterday, a battalion officer with vitality and blood cultivation had a broken leg and was carried back on a stretcher like a dead dog.

Vigorousness is a characteristic of young people, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what fear is, and being in a place full of death and pain makes him even more afraid.

"Trash." Ren Tu slapped himself on the face, trying to wake himself up. "Didn't you say you died for the country before without blinking? What are you afraid of now?"

At this moment, he saw a strange wounded soldier he passed by, bent down with a strange expression, and touched the wounded soldier's wrist with one hand.

"It's so cool..." Ren Tu felt a little weird before he touched the veins. Although the wounded soldier seemed to be sleeping peacefully and breathing very smoothly, his pale complexion and cold skin were unrecognizable. normal.

These days, wounded soldiers often die, not because of multiple injuries, but because of the invasion of external evils after being injured, the most common of which is the "seven-day wind" that the people call sick.

The reason why it is so called is because the disease usually occurs in about seven days, and once the attack occurs, the body becomes stiff, the mouth cannot be opened, the limbs tremble, and the bones ache, and the pain does not stop until death.

Although the wounded soldier didn't look like he had such a fatal injury, Ren Tu didn't dare to relax his vigilance. He stretched out his fingers to hold the pulse gate, and closed his eyes to check for the wounded soldier.

"The pulse condition is weaker, but nothing abnormal can be seen." After a dozen or so breaths, Ren Tu opened his eyes again, stretched out his hand to look at the whites of the wounded soldier's eyes, and checked the chest and wounds. Never been able to find out what the problem.

With such a result, he could only attribute the cold body problem to the weak constitution of the wounded soldier, so he carried another quilt to cover his torso.

Ren Tu looked at the wounded soldier and said softly, "If you still have a little bit of energy, don't give up. There is wine and girls in this colorful world, how can the underworld compare?"

The wounded soldier was still sleeping quietly, and Ren Tu didn't care whether he heard it or not, so he sighed and turned around to check the condition of another wounded soldier.

Chapter 771 The Strange Thing

The military doctors in the barracks were short of manpower, and the medical officers in the palace were a group of ineffective workers, so at the end of the day, Ren Tu was decocting medicine, changing his pulse, and sweating profusely. The sun that can be seen in the sky is like a yellow-orange egg yolk falling to the top of the city.

On this day, there was no battle at the top of the city, and naturally there were no more wounded soldiers. Ren Tu also heaved a sigh of relief. On the one hand, he could finally rest for a while, and on the other hand, he was also happy for the soldiers defending the city. Knowing that this day has passed safely.

But when he passed the wounded soldier again, his face changed slightly, and tears of sadness appeared in his eyes.

He squatted down slowly, and slowly touched the forehead of the wounded soldier with one hand, feeling the icy cold seeping from the inside, knowing that this heroic spirit had gone to another world, he could only say After a few words of comfort, a few sergeants were called to take the corpse away.

"Doctor Ren, thank you for your hard work." The two soldiers who resisted the stretcher have been with Ren Tu for a long time these days, and they also know what kind of person Ren Tu is. I will bless you too, you are a great kind person. Thanks to your care, only a few people died in our barracks today. In the A-shaped barracks, there were more than [-] people who died like this. "

"It's nothing..." Ren Tu replied subconsciously, but stopped abruptly, his eyes sharpened, and he stepped forward and pressed his hands on the sergeant's shoulders, "What did you say? Three dead Dozens of people? Are they all like this? Feeling cold all over?"

The sergeant was also taken aback by Ren Tu's sudden excitement, and he replied strangely after standing still: "Yes? What's the matter?"

"I thought it was just a few people's physique..." Ren Tu pondered, but a terrible thought came to his mind.

Could it be some disease he has never seen before?You must know that since he entered the camp, it was the first time he heard that more than [-] people died in a wounded battalion in a day, and they all died in the same weird way.

"Take me to see those corpses..." Ren Tu took a deep breath and looked at Sergeant solemnly, "I hope my guess is wrong, but this matter must not be neglected!"

……

The night was chasing after the carriage, and the horses were galloping in front of the carriage. The shadows were like moss growing on the bluestone slab, spreading extremely fast, little by little, mottled figures appeared on the rear window of the carriage.

Zhu Ran, who was already sitting in the carriage, had his eyes half closed, and there seemed to be a few more strands of white hair floating on his forehead.

He was not alone in the carriage.

"My lord, what does the prime minister want to see me?" Zhu Ran asked softly.

Although the light is dim, you can still see that the old eunuch who has served Zhuge Wanling for many years is still amiable, with a calm and indifferent aura: "Of course it is important. Although the old slave is a minister, he doesn't know everything. , just thinking about it, maybe the most likely thing is related to that big formation?"

Zhu Ran's eyelids twitched slightly, but he pursed his lips and remained silent.

The construction of a large formation in Ye City, covering a radius of more than forty miles, cost so much that it could raise another 5 strong army for Jing Wu, but Zhuge Wanling resisted all opinions and forcibly completed it. Seal it, and submerge this large formation in the long river of these years.

Even Zhu Ran has only recently come into contact with this secret, and only belatedly understands why the national treasury was still empty when the people's livelihood was continuously restored in the early days of Jing and Wu.

It was also during that time that the Sun family and the Zhuge Wanling faction fought countless times. Many people even felt that the newly born Jingwu was once again on the verge of splitting.

For ordinary people, this great formation is just a ray of invisible souls, quietly lurking under this land.

But for masters above the master level, this large formation is like a natural moat. Once activated, it is difficult to cross the city gate even half a step before the power is exhausted.

If it weren't for this large formation, Gao Changgong would have broken into the city already, right?

Although Zhu Ran thinks that he has been in the army for many years and can be counted as one of the famous generals, the role Gao Changgong's energy and blood cultivation can play in such a siege battle is immeasurable.

Back then when he followed Gao Changgong into the territory of the Tang Kingdom, he once saw Gao Changgong single-handedly knocking down a city gate weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Even if the gates of Jianye City are ten times stronger, no one knows what level Gao Changgong is now.

"Is the prime minister retreating behind the scenes because of the great formation?" Zhu Ran suddenly said: "Giving the power of the Jingwu court to the Sun family is probably not a good choice. The prince is by the prime minister's side on a fair day, so he should be persuaded." It is to persuade the prime minister."

Wang Gonggong still had that gentle look, and said in a soft voice: "This matter is the prime minister's own decision, and this old slave, as a servant, can't stop the master from doing things after all."

The horseshoes with hooves on the floor made a crisp sound of "stamping", and as the conversation in the car progressed, the air gradually became heavier.

"You are not a prince." Zhu Ran opened his eyes, and the dark eyes were full of deep meaning, "The prince...wouldn't answer like this."

For a long time, the prince, as an internal official, has been managing the affairs of the palace. Although Zhu Ran, the commander of the imperial army, also controls the palace ban, he has not had an overly close relationship with the prince.

Some of them are to avoid suspicion and prevent Zhuge Wanling from thinking too much, but the main reason is that the two of them are like the difference between a horse and an ox. Even though they are close together when doing farm work, they each have their own Responsibilities don't overlap much.

However, this does not mean that Zhu Ran is ignorant of this kind-hearted old eunuch who has been serving Zhuge Wanling.

"What do you mean by what the general said...?" At some time, the carriage had already stopped steadily, and the prince in the carriage narrowed his old and cloudy eyes, showing some doubts.

Zhu Ran just looked at him from the air, rubbing his broad and rough palm on the leather-wrapped handle, but he didn't directly unsheath it: "Indeed, there is almost no difference between you and the prince, Even if you stand side by side, others may think you are a pair of twin brothers. It is only now that I know that there is such a method in this world that can imitate a person to such an extent, but your answer just now exposed you I don’t know the prince well enough, and I don’t know enough about the prime minister’s facts.”

"I don't know that the general knows the old slave so well." The prince smiled slightly, "I don't know which sentence the old slave said is wrong in the general's opinion, which caused the general to have such a misunderstanding?"

"You're right, but if you're too right, it becomes a problem." Zhu Ran said, "That's right, since the founding of Jingwu, eunuchs have been strictly prohibited from intervening in politics, so I deliberately asked you to persuade the prime minister, just to lure you along the way." I replied, and you were also aware of this, knowing that I was testing you, so killing yourself could not stop the Prime Minister. But it is a pity that you made a mistake. "

"What's the matter?" Wang Gonggong smiled, and his body finally began to stretch. It seemed that he was sure that Zhu Ran would not believe him, so he no longer hid it, and his voice actually began to change, becoming... sharp and soft.

Zhu Ran said coldly: "The prime minister doesn't like eunuchs interfering in politics, but this prince...is an exception. Even I can't understand the trust that the prime minister has in him."

Indeed, in the early years, he was also very puzzled why Zhuge Wanling trusted the prince so much. After all, he was a eunuch with no roots, and he had no real benefit to the people of his family and country. Could it be that he developed affection just because he had served him for a long time? ?

But the prime minister had promoted the prince to his side since the first day he entered the palace, and had placed infinite trust in him. Unless they had known each other for a long time, there was no way to talk about the relationship.

No matter what the reason is, at least for these years, the princes have really fulfilled their duties and responsibilities around Zhuge Wanling like a shadow, and they have never shown any desires, nor have they really affected the court situation. repulsion.

"The general is really resourceful, and he set a trap of talking skills, which caused my family to make a mistake." Opposite Zhu Ran, the "prince" gradually lost his old man's appearance in sitting position, stretched his waist, and his eyes also changed. As she continued to regain her clarity, her voice had become a female voice, as clear and melodious as a girl's, but with the softness and charm of a mature woman.

"It's actually a woman." Zhu Ran was a little surprised, and at the same time admired the person in front of him even more.

"I'm not an ordinary woman, but the general is so smart and has such a mighty body, it makes me fall in love with him, and I want to be a human again, so that I can experience the happiness of you people once again." The woman's delicate laughter carried Infinitely charming, her panting like moaning can almost make any man's blood flutter.

But with that father-in-law's cheek, it makes people feel very weird. At the same time, Zhu Ran also noticed that her pupils are gradually fading, and from the shining circle of light, they seem to open like a rift, as if... …the eyes of a cat, as round and penetrating as amber.

Zhu Ran gripped the handle of the knife tightly.

"Oh, general, do you want to kill my family?" While speaking, the woman's skin is also constantly rejuvenated, and a strong fragrance of flowers emanates from her body, "It seems that the big boss in the army I really don’t know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.”

After speaking, she giggled again.

But this kind of laughter was very harsh in Zhu Ran's ears.

The reason why he can continue to tolerate it is because he still can't confirm how many people are ambushing in the darkness outside the carriage. It may not be the best time to launch it at this time.

After he realized in the carriage that his place was not going to the palace, he soon realized that this street was a trap specially designed for him.

So it's not so much that he revealed the identity of the other party with words, but rather because the vibration of the carriage wheels rolling on the stone slab exposed the abnormality of the carriage.

"Who are you? Are you from the Sun family?" Zhu Ran asked.

"Who knows. Maybe it's just a bunch of boring guys?" The woman put her hand to her mouth and yawned slightly. The lazy outline was gradually outlined in the darkness. is a temptation.

"However, if the general is willing to put down the knife in his hand now, maybe we have more to talk about?" The woman smiled like a flower, and suddenly leaned forward, the crown fell down, and her hair was full of black hair. Scattered, part of the face in the shadows was slightly revealed in front of Zhu Ran, but it was already shockingly beautiful.

The beauty lightly opened her red lips and leaned towards Zhu Ran's face, as if she wanted to kiss Zhu Ran's face, and her breath was like a gust of fragrant wind blowing on Zhu Ran's face.
