It was only sterilized because of the burning pain. Xie Jingan glanced at Cui Tong with a smile, and didn't explain, but missed him and put it on Lin Yan behind him. He pretended to search for a moment, and said, "Remember, it seems to be useful in the army." Did General Lin hear the rumors about washing the wound with wine to heal it faster when he was in Chang'an?"

Lin Yan had been following Xie Jingan since he got up, so he could clearly hear him visiting Zhao Duizheng and talking to the medical officer Cui Tong, although he was still a little surprised that Xie Jingan said that the wound was like clothes Usually it is stitched together, but there is still a lot of energy on the face, when Xie Jingan called him, he was shocked immediately, and replied: "Returning to Your Highness, the last general has indeed heard such rumors when he was in Chang'an. It seems to be an unwritten tradition handed down in the army. According to what the general heard, it seems that washing the wound with wine can eliminate the poison on the iron and prevent the wound from festering and pus. But these are just word of mouth among the soldiers in the army. It has not been confirmed by a medical officer, and whether it is true or false will not be known in the end."

Although it was just a rumor, Cui Tong's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in disbelief: "It turns out that wine still has this purpose. If the baijiu workshop that His Highness called man-made, if all the wine is used to save people, wouldn't it be better than that?" Ordinary medicine halls have saved many people, but since the ready-made wine can eliminate iron poisoning, why does His Highness have to ask people to distill it a few more times, isn’t it just a waste of time?”

The longer Cui Tong stayed by Xie Jingan's side, the more courageous he became. Now he can't see the slightest bit of timidity and panic in the past. He even smiles a lot more than before, and his words and deeds are more and more like the freshness and kindness that he should have at his age. innocent.

Xie Jing'an was also happy to see him shed that cowardly shell and return to his original nature, he kept walking outside, with a three-point smile on his face, he explained: "This wine is different from wine to wine. Didn’t I tell you before calling the artificial liquor workshop? Apart from the different recipes for the auxiliary ingredients, the biggest difference in making wine is the degree. The higher the degree of alcohol, the more burnt it tastes. The more burnt the wine, The more you wash the wound, the more you can eliminate the poison from the iron."

"It's no wonder His Highness wants to make the steward of the workshop distill a few more times," Cui Tong suddenly said, "That's how it is."

Xie Jingan saw the eyes on his small round face staring more and more roundly, like a kitten with round face and round eyes, couldn't help but couldn't help laughing, and almost couldn't help laughing out loud, but fortunately Lin Yan was behind him solemnly replacing his brothers Thanks to Xie Jing'an, he attracted the attention of several people, and managed to maintain his dignity.

The Xunchengwei's mansion is not big, and the group of people walked to the door in just a moment, and there were servants who had prepared their carriages and waited outside the door.

Because Xie Jingan wanted to go around the city for a tour, it was inconvenient to take a carriage, so he had someone prepare a fast horse, and turned to Cui Tongdao: "Nowadays, the new workshops are all outside the city. It’s not convenient to go out of the city on horseback, it just so happens that the king wants to ride a horse, so you can go in a carriage, go early and return early, the king is still waiting for you to come back to run an errand for the king.”

Xie Jing'an really didn't need to take a carriage, but in the eyes of others, he thought it was because of Cui Tong's young age, he deliberately made him feel excited, his eyes sparkled, especially Cui Tong, who was so moved that he almost burst into tears Looking at Xie Jing'an with a pair of bright eyes, he said: "This subordinate is just a servant, there is no reason for a subordinate to sit in a carriage, but let His Highness ride a horse. Besides, His Highness, regardless of his young age, his equestrian skills are not bad. , even if the snow is heavier, this subordinate can go to the liquor workshop and come back safely, so don't worry, Your Highness."

Cui Tong said that he refused, and even Liu Zhubo came to persuade him: "What Cui Xiaoguan said is that there are no people in the lower class who ride in the carriage, but let His Highness ride on the horse. If the imperial censor knows , I still don’t know how to accuse His Highness of a crime, His Highness can go back in a carriage, if you are really worried about Cui Xiaoguan, you can send at most two more people to follow.”

Seeing this one and the two trying to persuade him, Xie Jingan couldn't laugh or cry, and was too lazy to argue with them. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a guard leading a horse over, pulled the rein and turned over, then looked down at them and said: " This king has made up his mind, so you two don’t need to persuade you any more. You have time to walk a few streets. Besides, this king is not going back to the mansion, but is going to ride a horse to see outside the city. Although the carriage is warm, it is It's clumsy and heavy, but it's lighter and faster on horseback."

Hearing that Xie Jingan was not going back to the mansion but going out of the city, even Lin Yan and others were a little bit shocked, and opened their mouths to persuade him, but Xie Jingan stretched out his hand first to signal them to silence, and said with a serious face: "My lord It’s just going for a walk outside the city, and it’s not about going to Pingzhou to fight. Besides, the king even went up the city wall of Pingzhou. Are you afraid of the heavy snow? You can just stay in the city and rest when you should. Those who go on errands to do errands, when the king comes back, you will be busy."

As Xie Jingan pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, he was about to set off, but Lin Yan took two steps forward, clapped his hands and said earnestly, "Your Highness is going out of the city for inspection, so why don't you take the junior general with you, please allow the latter Follow along."

Among the several officials under his command, Lin Yan is the most difficult to persuade. Whatever he decides, no matter what you say, he will not change his mind easily. Therefore, when Xie Jingan saw Lin Yan's expression, he felt a little headache and lost his tone. The gentleness just now, with a bit of helplessness, said: "You are the one who just returned from suppressing the bandits, why don't you take a rest and follow suit? Although my king doesn't have many generals at his disposal, you are not the only one, you are patrolling Take a good rest in the city guard, and you can do your job when you have enough energy. This king knows that you are highly skilled in martial arts, so it’s okay to stay up for a few days and nights, but if you don’t feel sorry for your body, this king still wants to feel sorry for you. If you suffer from illness Already, where will I go to find a genius like you again?"

The world is clear, Xie Jingan said this just to express how much he valued Lin Yan, and it didn't have any other meaning, but Lin Yan's ears trembled when he heard it, not only his heartbeat was much faster than usual, but the tips of his ears He couldn't help but quietly blushed, but fortunately, he still maintained his usual calmness on his face, and his voice was as steady as ever, but there was some imperceptible trill in it, and he insisted: "The last general As a patrolling guard general, he is supposed to follow His Highness when he is patrolling the surrounding areas. How can he leave his post without permission due to other reasons? Please allow His Highness."

Seeing the expressionless Lin Yan, Xie Jingan almost laughed angrily, but he was concerned about his body, fearing that if he reprimanded him, it would make it harder for him to rest at ease, so he took a deep breath and swallowed the reprimand that came to his lips. Going back, he looked at him helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid of you. If you want to follow, just follow. It's just cold, you can't wear this suit. Go back and add something thicker." Bring the cloak, and bring a pair of gloves made by your sister, and set off with the king after wearing the clothes to resist the cold."

As soon as Xie Jingan's words fell, Lin Yan immediately turned his head and left. He didn't even need half a cup of tea, and he had already dressed according to Xie Jingan's words and stood in front of him.

At this time, Cui Tong hadn't recovered from the shock of Xie Jingan's compromise so quickly just now, when he saw Lin Yan turned on his horse as if he was about to set off with Xie Jingan, his jealous eyes turned red immediately, and he glared at him dissatisfied Protested to Xie Jing'an: "My subordinate and General Lin are both His Highness's people, why did His Highness accept his request, but His Highness rejected what my subordinate said, and both of my subordinates are on business for His Highness, how can His Highness treat you like this ?”

That's because you are easy to talk and he is difficult to deal with. Seeing Cui Tong's accusing expression, Xie Jing'an secretly sighed, and comforted him: "You are still young, and your martial arts are not as strong as General Lin. How dare this king let you go on horseback?" Outside the city? If you had one-tenth of General Lin's martial arts, I wouldn't worry about you so much."

Xie Jingan took it for granted. Although Cui Tong was still a little upset, he finally survived. He only thought in his heart that he must practice martial arts well from tomorrow onwards, and strive to treat him like His Highness treated General Lin as soon as possible, and not easily veto his proposal. requested.

After finally comforting Cui Tong, Xie Jingan was afraid that Mr. Liu would give birth to something like him, so he hurriedly flicked his whip, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and galloped towards the city gate. Lin Yan and a few guards followed closely. follow.

Because of the heavy snowfall in Mozhou City in recent days, there were few people walking around in the streets, Xie Jingan and his party arrived at the city gate very smoothly.

At the city gate, there were only a few sergeants guarding the city guards shivering from the cold. When they saw Xie Jingan, they were so frightened that they rushed forward to salute. He pulled the reins to stop the horses, excused them from the ceremony, and asked them a few words in a friendly manner. Their faces were flushed with excitement, and then they shook the reins and were about to start. Unexpectedly, at this time, a man came running from afar outside the city gate. Riding a fast horse, he seemed to recognize him, and while waving his whip vigorously to make the horse run faster, he hissed at him: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the house in Xishui Village has collapsed! The house in Xishui Village has been destroyed!" The snow has collapsed!"

The thing that has been worrying about for a long time finally came. Xie Jingan originally thought that he would tremble with fear, or his mind would go blank in shock, but when the thing really happened, he was uncharacteristically calm, and he didn't even shake the hand holding the horsewhip For a moment, he just stared at the figure running towards him, waited for someone to run up to him and scrambled off his horse. Before he could salute, he asked in a hoarse voice: "What is the population of Xishui Village? How many houses are there in total?" When it collapsed, how many people were in the house when it collapsed? How many people were old and young?

The one who came to report on horseback was a young man in his teens, who got off the horse too quickly and fell over the stirrups. Fortunately, the snow was too thick and he didn't get hurt. He turned over and got up and said anxiously: " Reporting back to Your Highness, there are 32 households in Xishui Village, and 26 households whose houses were collapsed by the snow, only a dozen people were outside when the houses collapsed, and the others were all trapped inside, because most of the young and strong in Xishui Village belong to the Liu family Long-term workers, when the house was crushed by the snow, almost all the people who stayed at home were the elderly, children and women. There were ten people in the city patrol team under his subordinates. Except for his subordinates who came back to report, the other nine people stayed in Xishui Village to save people. .”
