Reborn from the bottom of the coffin, the miracle doctor and the ugly concubine fight against the wo

Due to the limited number of doctors, the wounded among the Jingnan Army and the soldiers who defended the city were transported to the backyard of the county government for centralized treatment.

Chu Zhao, along with a few Yun family disciples and a dozen doctors from the city who came spontaneously, were busy until almost noon, when they had time to sit down and take a breath.

Just when I felt hungry, I smelled the aroma of food.

When I went out, I saw that the people in the city had prepared meals in their own homes and brought them to them. Because there was blood stained by the wounded in the backyard, the magistrate ordered people to put several tables in the front yard and asked them to put all the meals on them.

The bowls and dishes in each household are different. They are packed together in various shapes and colors, densely packed, chaotic but orderly.Every bowl and plate was piled high, like small hills.

"The princess and the Jingnan Army saved our people in the city from danger. We have nothing to repay. We can only cook some food to show our sincerity. Our craftsmanship is crude and the food is simple. Please don't find it objectionable to the princess." An aunt wearing a flowered headscarf was eager. said.

Chu Zhao's eyes were sore. He picked up a piece of eggplant with chopsticks and tasted it. He said with a smile: "It's not vulgar at all. This is the best roasted eggplant I have ever eaten."

"I cooked it, I cooked these eggplants." Another aunt squeezed over and said, because of the princess's praise, the wrinkles on her face turned into flowers with a smile.

The others also became bolder, pointing to their own bowls and plates and saying: "Princess, try this, I made this..."

Chu Zhao nodded with a smile and tried them one by one.

"They're all very good. They're all very good. I like them very much. Thank you all for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. From now on, we will cover three meals a day for the princess and Jingnan Army." The aunt with the flower headscarf said loudly.

"No need." Chu Zhao waved his hand and said, "The Jingnan Army has food and a gang leader, so I won't bother you."

"No trouble, no trouble at all. We wish the princess could live in Yongcheng. We are willing to cook for you every day."

His simple words are full of enthusiasm. Regardless of his past life or this life, Chu Zhao can always be easily moved by this simple enthusiasm.

The magistrate was on crutches, with one arm hanging on his chest, and he was joking happily with the aunts: "Is it just for the princess? I also put in a lot of effort."

The women all laughed.

"Don't worry, sir. If you have a princess, it belongs to you. Just tell us what you want to eat." Everyone said at once.

The magistrate nodded happily: "Very good. I didn't eat Baijia rice when I was a child, but now I can eat it as an old man."

Everyone laughed again and said one after another: "If you eat the food of hundreds of families, you will live a long life. Adults also want to live a long life."

The laughter dispelled the haze of war, and the small county town suddenly became full of life again.

As soon as Chu Zhao and the magistrate went inside to eat, the magistrate said that the matter must be reported to the court and asked if there was anything taboo between her and the Jingnan Army.

After all, she came to the capital to treat the Queen Mother's illness under the emperor's orders. Although rescuing troops was like putting out fire, she would inevitably be punished if she delayed the Queen Mother's illness.

The world is vast and the emperor has the greatest power. The Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, so she is naturally the most important.

Chu Zhao disagreed.

No matter how important the Queen Mother is, she is not as important as a city full of people.

The people are like a river, and the Queen Mother is just a small boat on it. If she becomes dissatisfied because she saved the people, she will be overturned by the waves sooner or later.

"My lord, just write, praise me for my good work, and use all the nice words you know." Chu Zhao said, "Even if you don't write, I will still write to the court to express my merit."

Magistrate: "..."

Princess Jingnan is just different from others.

After lunch, Zhang Xingzhou led his team back to the county town, bringing back with him the heads of several rebel leaders and dozens of decent women who had been kidnapped by the rebels.

These women were all disheveled and disheveled, huddled together like frightened birds. You didn’t need to think about what they had gone through before.

Chu Zhao asked Tie Shui to invite the auntie with the colorful headscarf to come over and ask her to help find a few more women to take care of these poor girls, collect some clean and fitting clothes for them to change into, and wait until everyone's emotions stabilized before handing it over to the police. The Jingnan Army escorted them home.

The magistrate said that if anyone has no family members or is unwilling to go home, they can stay in Yongcheng and he will give them appropriate arrangements.

The auntie with the colorful headscarf worked quickly and quickly called a group of women to take the girls back to their respective homes to take good care of them.

After arranging these girls, Chu Zhao asked the county magistrate to send people to hang the heads of the rebel leaders at the city gate for public display, so that the people could feel at ease and at the same time deter the bandits.

Then, she returned to the lobby with Zhang Xingzhou and asked about the specific situation of the rebels.

Zhang Xingzhou said that this group of people were from the army stationed in Chengzhou in the south. They were dissatisfied with their superiors' long-term harsh deduction of military pay, so they united and killed more than a dozen officials and generals, looted their homes, and then fled Chengzhou and began their exile. road.

They burned, killed and looted along the way and made a lot of money. They attracted a large number of bandits and bandits from all over the country, and rogues joined the gang, forming a large-scale motley army.

As their scale grew, their ambitions also expanded. They wanted to take advantage of the chaos to establish themselves as kings and carve up the world. Unfortunately, they encountered the elite cavalry of the Jingnan Army. This ideal was declared dead before it could take shape.

After hearing this, Chu Zhao couldn't help but sigh. They were originally victims who had been severely deducted from military pay, but they did extreme things out of anger and passed their anger on to innocent people, causing many families to be wiped out and their families destroyed.

This kind of person is pathetic but unforgivable, deplorable but not worthy of sympathy.

Zhang Xingzhou was also a rebel at the beginning. He was hunted down by the Xining Army all the way, but he never harmed an innocent civilian. It can be seen that encounters cannot be a reason for killing.

It's just that such a large-scale rebel army came all the way from the south. Why did the garrison troops in various states and prefectures seem not to see or hear it, and just let them burn, kill and loot all the way, as if they were in uninhabited territory?

There must be something odd about this.

"It seems that we are going to visit Mr. Fang Da's good son-in-law." Chu Zhao said.

Zhang Xingzhou didn't understand who Mr. Fang Da's son-in-law was for a while. Qi Fengshan explained to him: "It's Ma Delong, the commander-in-chief of Huguang. His father-in-law is the son-in-law of his predecessor Fang Guanru."

Zhang Xingzhou suddenly understood, nodded and said, "Then when will we go?"

"After making arrangements for Yongxian County, we can leave tomorrow." Chu Zhao said, "Only seven of the Yongxian city defenders were killed. We have to leave some men here temporarily until we see Ma Delong. Let him send troops to replace him."

Zhang Xingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we let Zhang Dahan stay with my more than 100 brothers, and deploy another hundred or so Jingnan troops to cooperate with them. They have been defending the city before and have relatively rich experience."

"That's good, I feel more at ease with them here." Chu Zhao said.

So, early the next morning, more than 100 of Zhang Xingzhou's brothers stayed to defend the city. Except for the 100 people transferred and those who were seriously injured and unable to walk, the rest of the Jingnan Army all dressed up and set off for Wuzhou, Huguang Province.

Zhang Dahan and Zhang Xingzhou fled all the way from Xining to Yunzhou. No matter how difficult the environment was, they had never been apart for a day. Today's separation was the first time.

Although it was not a separation of life and death, the unshaven man's eyes turned red. He took Zhang Xingzhou's hand like a child and told him to take care of himself along the way. Then he said to Chu Zhao: "Princess, you must mobilize the troops as soon as possible. It will take a long time." I will miss my big brother.”

Chu Zhao couldn't help but want to laugh, patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "I will do it, don't worry, I won't keep you waiting for too long. In the past, you brothers defended Xining City to the death and did not let the enemy penetrate. Now, too, Please protect Yongxian County no matter what, the fathers and villagers of this city will be left to you."

When Zhang Dahan heard this, a sense of mission arose spontaneously. He could no longer care about his sadness. He clenched his fist and assured her: "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely fulfill my mission and protect Yong County. I am in the city and I will die..."

"Shut up." Zhang Xingzhou interrupted him, "Both you and Cheng will do well for me."

"I know, brother." Zhang Dahan agreed with red eyes.

Iron Hammer held the hammer and laughed at him: "Big bearded man, don't cry."

Zhang Dahan immediately jumped to his feet: "Big Hammer, don't talk nonsense, who is crying?"

Iron Hammer laughed and walked away.
