[Red Mansion] Princess Ji

Hearing that there were soldiers camping nearby, all the people in the village gathered in the yard of the village chief's house. Seeing that the village chief was talking with a young man, they couldn't help whispering and guessing.

The village head nodded towards Ji Yuanlan, and looked at the villagers gathered around, "Come and listen, everyone, General Ji is from the capital, they are going to Liangzhou Daying, and they are in our village when there is a sudden heavy rain on the way. Camping outside, I was afraid of disturbing us so I came here to tell us, everyone should leave. If there is extra hot water and hot food at home, they can be sent to the camp two miles outside the village. It is not easy for them to guard the northern border. They eat Only when we are full can we live a stable life.”

Ji Yuanlan didn't expect the village chief to say this later, and asked the village chief to stop him when he was about to stop it.

"If Liangzhou is not peaceful, our small place will also suffer. If Liangzhou is defended, those people dare not come to our place to rob women and livestock, and bring you some hot water and hot food. It’s not worth the money to eat at home.”

"...Have enemy troops come near you?"

Ji Yuanlan stopped pushing back and couldn't help but ask a few more questions.It's quite a distance from Liangzhou, how come there are enemy troops disturbing the people near here?How did the defense lines of Longzhou and Liangzhou manage to allow small enemy troops to infiltrate and harm innocent people.

Unexpectedly, the situation here was even more chaotic than he had expected.

"We will set off immediately after the rain stops tomorrow, and will not stay here any longer, so that the villagers can feel at ease."

"You are all soldiers in the army, what are we afraid of? We are afraid of bandits, bandits and enemies." The village chief looked at Ji Yuanlan, "You will camp outside tonight, and we won't worry if we don't close our doors at night."

Hearing that Ji Yuanlan was talking to the village chief, he just glanced at the room next to him from time to time.

Just now he came over with Daiyu in his arms, and troubled the village head's wife to help her change her clothes. It has been a while since he went in and he hasn't come out yet. I don't know if he has changed.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw the door open from the inside, and Daiyu stood there in ordinary clothes, with her hair tied casually with a cloth towel, "Please help me, auntie, otherwise I won't be able to use my arms, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to wear clothes." not on."

"Young lady is polite, but you are just helping out. Seeing that you are completely drenched, and there is still a fire on the stove, I will heat up the dishes for you. After eating, you will be warmer."

When Daiyu heard it, she subconsciously said to help, but thinking of the injury on her arm, she swallowed her words again, "I'm in trouble."

Ji Yuanlan and the village chief whispered a few words before walking to Daiyu's side, "I changed into clean clothes, let's go into the house, and I'll show you the wound on your arm."

"Do you have medicine with you?"

"I bring a bottle or two with me. Sometimes I get separated from the team, or I can have an emergency in other situations. Otherwise, where can I find a doctor in the mountains? Not everyone knows the herbs to stop bleeding."

Hearing this, Daiyu nodded, and went into the next room with Ji Yuanlan. The two sat down at the table, and Daiyu rolled up her sleeves, "Looking at it just now, it's already swollen."

Ji Yuanlan moved closer, rolled up his sleeves carefully, and frowned more and more tightly, "It's a good thing that you didn't hit your elbow directly when you hit it, otherwise you will either be dislocated or fractured right now."

After taking the medicine out, uncorking the cork, a smell of medicine came out, Ji Yuanlan directly reached out to support Daiyu's arm, "Tell me if it hurts, or I'm afraid of hurting you with this strength."

"En." Looking up at the cautious Ji Yuanlan, Daiyu couldn't help but chuckle, "Why are you more nervous than me? I'll be the one who hurts later, and no matter how strong you are, you'll always be worried about me. hurt me."

Seeing that Daiyu could still laugh, Ji Yuanlan shook his head helplessly, "You really lack heart and lungs. You know why I am nervous and you ask why, but--my strength was used to beat people in the past, and I was able to deal with it. Man, with your arm, I will use some strength, but something will happen."

Under the light-colored coarse cloth cuffs, Ji Yuanlan carefully supported his thin white arms. His elbows were swollen. Ji Yuanlan applied the ointment little by little. The wine he asked the village head just now came in handy.

The palm was pressed against the red and swollen place, and Ji Yuanlan rubbed it slowly while talking to Daiyu—fortunately, he didn't hurt the bone, and he was about to hurt it, so he didn't dare to do it yet, lest it would aggravate the injury.

"What were you and the village chief talking about just now?"

"I mentioned the things around here. Enemy troops will come here to rob women, and bandits and bandits will come here occasionally. It's not safe."

"Then the government here doesn't care?"

"Since ancient times, rogue bandits have been the most difficult to deal with, and bandits can change places to make a comeback at any time. If they want to catch these people, unless the people in the government are willing to spend their time, it will just knock the mountain and shake the tiger, and it will not work." Ji Yuanlan shook his head, "It is the enemy army It is even more troublesome for a small team to infiltrate, the border government between Longzhou and Liangzhou is so lax, I am afraid there will be future troubles."

When the two armies are at war, if something happens to the rear, it will undoubtedly tear a gap from the rear, and the defense line will be quickly defeated. Therefore, even if there is no obvious intention to fight now, we have to take this matter to heart.

No wonder he was sent here. Although he made a statement in Beijing, but at this age, he would only worry about his little prince who was born in the Yongkang Palace. How negligent he was, it was more convenient for him to investigate more things.

Flaws are most likely to appear when people are slack. Regardless of whether the internal value of Liangzhou is worth checking, but when he comes, it has to be checked.

"The two armies are at war. Although there are small disturbances in northern Xinjiang, there are no major disturbances. Is there any other arrangement for the officials to let you come here?"

"I don't know what the emperor means, but right now, the things I have to do are obviously in order." The defense line between Liangzhou and Longzhou should be strengthened first, just in case.

As for the internal thief, we have to think about it carefully.

Hearing this, Daiyu nodded. She didn't know much about these things. It was just that after she came out of Jia's mansion, there were too many books of this kind in Lin Wenjin's study. some.

"Are you going to get bored?"

"This place is not at all what I thought. It was windy and sandy and the sun was high along the way, making people dizzy from the sun." Seeing that Ji Yuanlan's expression had not changed, Daiyu curled her lips and changed her tone, "You are really not afraid of what I say Is it not as good as the capital? Hiss..."

"You know it hurts?"

Ji Yuanlan shook his head and laughed, "Try not to touch each other these two days, it may take half a month to be thorough."

Watching Ji Yuanlan tidy up the table, Daiyu stared at him with her face on her other hand, and suddenly laughed too, "It's really not as good as the capital."

"kindness?"

"But there are places that are better than the capital."

Ji Yuanlan, who got up and was about to return the things to the village chief, stopped when he heard this, stood by the table and stared at Daiyu, bent down and kissed Daiyu's forehead.

"Where I am, there is no need for the capital."
