Fanjin

He recruited the guards to pack his luggage, and set off for Jiangzhou without delay.

Brother Huang's edict is still on the way, so when I brought Fan Jun and the others to appear in front of Han Ruoqin and Liao Xiyuan, they were very surprised.

"My lord, why are you back again? Didn't you mean to meet in Huaizhou?"

Liao Xiyuan scratched his head and looked at me puzzled.

If it was normal, I would still joke about his appearance, but now I really don't have that mood.

"Brother Huang has already declared war on the Mu Kingdom." After calmly telling the truth, Han Yuqin frowned suddenly.

"Did something happen? Logically speaking, Xu Zhuguo and others have not been escorted to the capital. Although the confession was submitted, but Xu Zhuguo did not admit it in court, the emperor should not be in such a hurry."

Pulling Jun Fan to sit on the armchair beside him, "Luo Jinhan ran away."

"What?! That turtle grandson ran away?!"

"Weizhen!" Han Yuqin sternly said, "Don't be rude!"

I waved my hand, "Brother Huang has already removed him from the family tree, he's just a traitor." That's right, Luo Jinhan's running away has completely cut off the blood of Brother Huang, and he has been removed from the family tree.

Liao Xiyuan touched his nose in embarrassment, and muttered aggrievedly: "My lord doesn't mind, Mu Qing, you're yelling at me again."

Han Yuqin: "..."

"Okay, Brother Huang's oracle is already on the way. It's [-] li in a hurry, and I think it will be there the day after tomorrow." Looking at the two men who became serious, "Now, let's make defensive preparations first. Brother Liao, you Arrange the garrison to do a good job of guarding, and arrange day and night inspections in shifts."

Liao Xiyuan grimaced and nodded, "Don't worry, my lord, I won't let those bastards from Mu Kingdom take advantage of my loopholes."

"Brother Han, organize the transfer of the people in the city. Those near the gate of the border will be moved to the rear. There is also a plan to break through the gate. Make a detailed plan to protect the people in the city."

Han Yuqin nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely protect the safety of the people in the city."

"I... can I do something?"

The weak voice immediately attracted three pairs of eyes.

Seeing that we were all staring at him, Fan Jun's ears turned red immediately, but he still stared at me with wet round eyes, and whispered: "I want to do my part too."

I looked at him with a smile, reached out and rubbed the top of his hair, "You don't have to do anything, you just need to protect yourself."

"But... But, I also want to do what I can." Fanjun hesitated for a moment, but still looked at me firmly.

Seeing his small appearance, I was helpless.

"Okay, then Fanjun, you can help organize the doctors in the city, determine a treatment point, and prepare for the rescue of the wounded."

When Fanjun heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he happily agreed.

From the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of Liao Xiyuan whispering to Han Yuqin——

"Mu Qing, do you think Mr. Yun is a man or a woman? Why do I think he is much prettier than that jade girl!"

"...How do you know that he is prettier than Miss Yu?"

"Aren't these two people wearing veils, but look, Mr. Yun wears a veil, so he has that... oh... oh! Yes, yes, yes!! Temperament! Much more temperamental!"

"..."

"Hey, you said he couldn't be a woman disguised as a man?"

"..."

"Ahem!" He took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and glanced lightly, "You guys, are you free?"

Han Yuqin trembled, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no! I'm going to set it up right now! I'm going!" After speaking, he pulled Liao Xiyuan hard and pulled him away.

After going out, Han Yuqin lowered his voice and angrily shouted at Liao Xiyuan: "Idiot! Next time, don't pull me when you want to die!"

"I didn't, I just wanted to find out!" Liao Xiyuan's voice was a little aggrieved.

"When you figure it out, I won't die with peace!!"

"...I will help you take care of Uncle Han."

"!!!"

When the two walked away, the noise completely disappeared.

Shaking his head with a smile, he turned his head to look at Fan Jun, "I asked Wei Si to lead someone to follow you, and he will help you. If you have any questions, just talk to him."

"Hmm! I see! Should I also prepare now?"

Seeing his excited little appearance, he smiled and tapped his forehead with his fingers a few times, "So excited." Seeing him shrugging a few times in embarrassment, "Go, go, go early, come back early, pay attention Safety."

"Okay! Then I'm leaving!" After speaking, he ran out excitedly.

"Wei Si, take good care of Mr. Fan."

"Yes, master."

In two days, Jiangzhou City has entered a state of combat readiness, the people have also moved to a safer rear area, and various defensive matters have been completed.

What surprised me even more was that Fan Jun, who had no experience in this kind of pre-war work, also did his job well. At least the doctors in the city obeyed the arrangement and stayed, and nothing happened. moth.

The imperial edict has also arrived.I was named Marshal of the Army, Liao Xiyuan was named General of the Fu Army, Han Yuqin was appointed as the Supervisor of the Army, and Xu Guogong, the first-rank general of the town, is rushing to Jiangzhou with an army of one million.

At night, after coaxing Jun Fan to sleep, he went to Dongli Garden where Han Yuqin and Liao Xiyuan were.

The post station has been used to accommodate foreign businessmen, and many imperial guards have been sent to guard it. Now we live in the prefect's mansion of Jiangzhou.

Speaking of which, the new prefect of Jiangzhou is also unlucky. He just took office the day before yesterday, and the border is about to start preparing for war.

The [-]-year-old Jiangzhou new magistrate was a second-class Jinshi in the last imperial examination, and he was a pure and simple literati from a poor family.

When I first arrived in Jiangzhou, I was full of spirits and joy, but I didn't see many people along the way from the street, only seeing the patrolling garrison, and I was a little dazed.

When he stepped into the mansion and heard me say that Jiangzhou was entering the war, his face turned pale and his whole body was on the verge of falling. Fortunately, his attendant helped him up quickly, otherwise he might have fallen to the ground.

After he reacted, he looked at me like he was looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then he stammered a little and expressed the hope that we could stay in the house.

Is it safe if I live in the house?I was a little speechless, but I have lived here for a few days anyway, and I didn't plan to move, so I nodded casually.

So, I lived in Zhongzhengyuan, the best main courtyard, Han Yuqin and Liao Xiyuan lived in Dongliyuan in the east, and Zhifu himself moved to live in a small courtyard in the west.

"My lord."

Stepping into the main room of Dongli Court, he waved for them to sit down.

From Zhongzhengyuan to Dongliyuan, you have to go through a long corridor and a courtyard. The summer night is very hot and stuffy, and you are so thirsty now.

Sit in a high position, pick up the teacup and drink it down in one gulp, and then drink another cup to feel better.

Heaving a sigh of relief, he took out his folding fan and shook it lightly, "There is news from the hidden stake in Mu Country that the army of Mu Country has already set out to march, and it is estimated that they will arrive in one and a half months."

Han Yuqin frowned, "Do you know how many troops there are?"

"80."

"Who leads the army?"

"Grand General Zeng Qingzhi of Mu Kingdom."

"80?! Or is Zeng Qingzhi leading the troops?!" Liao Xiyuan yelled strangely.

Like Han Yuqin, I have never been in contact with too many generals, and I don't know much about them, so I raised my eyebrows and asked: "Why, Zeng Qingzhi is a veteran general who has experienced many battles. Although he is almost seventy years old, I heard that he is in good shape Very tough, what is your reaction?"

Liao Xiyuan waved his hands again and again, "No, no! This old man is quite capable of fighting, and I didn't mean to look down on him. My father fought with him back then, and he was injured by that old man. The posture of Bai was shocked. Although my father won, but the victory was quite tragic. In the end, there were only four soldiers left in one battalion, and they were all broken flowers and willows! His old man was the root cause of his illness in that battle. , there is no way to lead troops anymore."

"..." Han Yuqin, "Weizhen, read more books."

"???" Liao Xiyuan rubbed his head blankly, "But what I said is true!"

"..." Han Yuqin.

Seeing Han Yuqin's pained expression, I held back my smile, coughed a few times, and turned back to the topic, "According to Brother Liao, this Zeng Qingzhi is not easy to deal with."

Liao Xiyuan nodded vigorously: "That's right, this old man has a very tough fighting style. He doesn't defend by force, because his strong attack makes people powerless to fight back. He can only defend and cannot fight back. My father just got a shit luck back then, and only took the opportunity to counterattack once, and he made himself into that kind of virtue in the end."

Han Yuqin: "..."

It seems that this Zeng Qingzhi is a hard nut to crack. Even though our military strength is 20 less than ours, we should not underestimate it.

Put your left hand on the table, and tap your index finger, "Gong Xu and his troops will probably arrive in a month and a half, and the two sides don't have a big advantage in terms of time... In this way, let's send the shadow guards to burn their guns first." Don’t be in a hurry to burn the grain and grass immediately, wait until they are halfway there, and if they don’t pick up the food, it’s the most likely to disturb the morale of the army. Take the opportunity to delay their time.”

Just do what you say, and immediately recruit the shadow guard, "Wei San."

"master."

"Did you hear what Grandpa said just now, put on oil. Leave immediately."

"Yes."

He thought about it again: "Zeng Qingzhi likes to attack by force, he uses offense as defense, just like a hedgehog."

Seeing that the two nodded in agreement, he said again: "The formation of the Mu Kingdom army is usually cavalry first, followed by infantry. We set up bridle ropes and horse feed outside the city gate, and dismounted the cavalry first. .”

Liao Xiyuan frowned suspiciously: "But, this tripping horse needs someone to pull it. The outside of the city is barren, and there is no place to hide!"

I shook my fan and smiled slightly, "Underground."

The two were taken aback for a moment, then rejoiced, "Yes! You can hide people underground, just dig a hole for cover!"

Shaking his head, pretending to be unfathomable, "No, digging a hole is not acceptable, what we want to dig is a tunnel."

"typical?!"

"Yes, the tunnel." It is still a tunnel that can cover most of the battlefield.

Han Ruoqin looked a little worried, "Even if we start construction tomorrow, we only have a maximum of one and a half months. Is it too late?"

"No, it should be two months at most." I turned the teacup, "If the dark guards can lose their food and grass, then we have at most two months, which is enough."

Liao Xiyuan scratched his hair anxiously, "What if they fail?"

The subordinates paused, looked up at General Liao with a gentle smile, "Brother Liao, are you questioning my ability as the first person?" You are quite bold.

Liao Xiyuan froze for a moment, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no! Absolutely not! I'm just making a reasonable analogy! There is absolutely no other meaning!"

Han Yuqin helped his forehead speechlessly.

"Well, I will draw the tunnel blueprint tonight, and I will hand it over to you for arrangement tomorrow morning."

Back in the main house of Zhongzheng Courtyard, even though I had lightened the movements of going to bed, Fanjun still woke up with a start.

I saw him stretch out his hand to grab my arm in a daze, and said, "Why did you come back?"

Holding his little hand, he went to bed and lay down neatly, squeezed the quilt on Fanjun's side, and replied softly: "It's a bit late to talk to them, I didn't pay attention to the time, did it wake you up?"

Fan Jun moved, rested his head on my arm, and buried it in the crook of my neck, "I couldn't sleep well without you by my side."

His heart softened into cotton in an instant, he tilted his head and kissed the top of Fanjun's hair, and hugged him tightly, "Sleep, I'm here."

"Hmm..." After a while, Fan Jun took a long breath.

I smiled silently and closed my eyes.

The blueprint has been drawn in the study and handed over to the dark guard, so I don't need to intervene in the rest of the arrangements.It seems that you can sleep late tomorrow.

Shuri, Mr. Fan insisted on dispensing commonly used hemostatic medicine with those doctors, saying that he wanted to learn some skills, but I had no choice but to agree.

I thought I could take a sneak break with the two of them and be alone for a while, but I didn't expect him to be so serious.

Touching my nose, I proposed to go with him, and he happily took me out together.

There are very few people on the street, but there are still many shops open, after all, it won't be open for a while.

The doctors in the city are concentrated in the largest pharmacy in Jiangzhou - Jishitang.

In front of Jishi Hall, where doctors sit and take medicines, after passing the small door next to the medicine cabinet, there is a courtyard with four entrances behind.

Previously, this yard was used to store medicinal materials, to consult privately with some dignitaries and dignitaries, and to rest for Dr. Ji Shitang. Now it has been temporarily changed to the Military Medical Office.

Being dragged into this yard by Fan Jun, the first thing that catches the eye is the scene of doctors tossing medicinal materials in full swing.

"Jin Lan! I'm going to help!" Fan Jun greeted me and quickly joined the group of doctors.

Looking at Fanjun's figure with a smile.It was rare to see him so energetic, so I just let him go.

Standing on the porch, looking casually, he felt that he couldn't help much, and was about to instruct Wei Si, so he went to Han Yuqin's side to see how the authentic arrangements were going, but in the end, he stumbled across a person inadvertently.

"Wen Liu?"

What is he doing here?Only then did I suddenly remember that I hadn't seen him since I came back from Huaizhou.

But what about my minions acting without my orders?

He squinted his eyes, but found that Fanjun and him seemed to get along very well, at least Fanjun was very happy to discuss something with him.

Now I'm not in a hurry to leave, I want to continue to see what my slave is planning.

Fan Jun was carefully identifying the medicinal materials, and Wen Liu also followed him and explained to him.

"What kind of trouble do people who don't understand medicine come here?! Didn't you see that everyone is very busy!"

A white-faced and beardless middle-aged man next to the medicine shelf on Fanjun's left held the medicine in his hand and scolded Fanjun impatiently.

Fan Jun was at a loss for a moment, and the wet round eyes exposed outside the veil revealed panic and embarrassment.

"Yes... sorry! I just want to help sort out the medicinal materials!"

The middle-aged man looked at Fan Jun contemptuously, "Can you tell the difference between medicinal materials?"

Seeing that Jun Fan was even more at a loss, Wen Liu suddenly said: "Sorry, although my young master doesn't know how to distinguish medicinal materials, he is working hard to learn how to distinguish them. He just wants to do his part. Please forgive me."

After finishing speaking, Wen Liu bowed apologetically to the middle-aged man.

Seeing this, I curled my lips slightly.What he said was very meaningful, and he was really a good servant who was kind and protected the Lord.

The middle-aged man looked at Fanjun with increasing disgust from behind, "Young master who doesn't know medicine, you should go back and hide! Don't misclassify the medicinal materials and kill people! This is not a private school, no one is free Here to teach you! Go away! Don't make trouble here!"

Fanjun was about to cry, his eyes were red, and he rubbed the corners of his clothes unconsciously.

"Oh, forget it. It was this young master who called us together. He wanted to learn how to distinguish medicinal materials. You can let him learn it aside. It won't have much effect."

An old doctor with a long white beard seemed a little unbearable, and he couldn't stand it anymore and tried to persuade him.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Why didn't it affect it? It has a big impact! If he makes a mistake in distinguishing the medicinal materials, if something happens at that time, it's not us doctors who will be blamed! Who would believe that when these medicinal materials are distinguished, Did someone other than the doctor do it? If something really happens, how should we explain to the marshal!"

The old doctor sighed and shook his head, and kept silent. The others also shook their heads and turned to do their own things.

"I'm really sorry, I'll take my young master away now." Wen Liu showed an expression of not wanting her young master to be humiliated again, and pulled the red-eyed Fan Jun to go out.

With a slight movement of his feet, a figure appeared in front of Fan Jun, knocking off Wen Liu's hand holding him, and gently hugging him into his arms.

"Jinlan..." Jun Fan lay in my arms, his aggrieved voice was muffled, which made me feel a little distressed.

I patted his back lightly, comforted him for a while, and stared at the middle-aged man with cold eyes.

Seeing his face turn pale, and he took a step back unconsciously, I withdrew my gaze and cast a stern glance at Wen Liu.

"My lord, why are you... here?"

Wen Liu turned pale and trembled a little, but she was still trying to stay calm.

I don't want to talk nonsense with him, "Wei Si, take this slave back and deal with it after listening."

"Yes."

Wei Si stepped forward, and neatly took the man away.

"Wang... my lord?! Cao Min sees my lord! My lord is a thousand years old!"

The old doctor with a long white beard reacted quickly, and when everyone saw him like that, they all knelt down and saluted in fear.

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Lord!"

I looked down at Fan Jun who was still lying in my arms, rubbed his head, and asked softly, "Do you still want to stay here?"

Seeing him nodding his head slightly, he led him to the pile of herbs he was distinguishing before, "I'll teach you."

When Fan Jun heard this, he raised his head and looked at me in disbelief.

"My lord, the battle is imminent, please don't make jokes!"

"Presumptuous! How dare you speak to the prince like that!" The guards who followed immediately drew their swords and glared at him.

It was this middle-aged man again, with a cold face, and looked at him with unfriendly eyes, "I am a teacher of the medicine king Gu Laifeng, I am familiar with the medicine scriptures, and I understand the principles of medicine. In your opinion, this king is a joke?"

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he knelt down in front of me in fear: "Small man... mean man, you don't want to be fooled by this spoiled pet anymore!"

Molestation? !Anger grew in his chest.

Raising his hand, a strong wind swept away, and the middle-aged man flew upside down and hit the wall, vomiting blood in embarrassment and unconsciousness.

"Bold!! Are you scolding me for being ignorant of people and blinded by sex?!"

"My lord, calm down!" Seeing this situation, the doctors in the courtyard were trembling and knelt down in fear.

I really want to slap him to death!How dare you insult my future princess like this!

"Jin Lan!"

Sensing that Jun Fan was tugging on my sleeve lightly, I suppressed my anger and looked back at him.

Fan Jun looked at me worriedly, and shook his head lightly: "Don't be angry, I'm fine."

I took a deep breath, suppressed my anger, and turned my head to face the crowd, "This kind of outspoken doctor with bad conduct, I can't believe his medical ethics!"

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Evict this person out!"

"Yes!"

Gazing at the head of the guards, he nodded slightly, turned around and followed out.

He glanced coldly at the kneeling crowd, and the court was silent.

"Hmph!" snorted coldly, "Slandering the royal family is a capital crime. For the sake of the upcoming war, this king will not continue to pursue it this time. Let's do something!"

Everyone got up immediately and continued to work.

Turning around, I saw Fanjun staring at me worriedly, "Jinlan, will this..."

Smiling, he walked over and stroked the top of his hair, "No, it's nothing, what's more, I didn't pursue him for the crime of slander, so I already let him live."

Fanjun nodded hesitantly, his little ears were a little red.

"Come on, let me teach you how to identify medicinal materials."

"okay."

Sitting on the wide nanmu chair, he coldly looked down at Wen Liu who was kneeling on the ground.

"As the king's slave, not only does he not obey the king's orders, travels without permission, but also helps outsiders oppress the master, such a slave, the king really can't afford it!"

Wen Liu's face turned pale in an instant, his expression flustered, he opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't make a sound.

With a light bark, he raised his chin, signaling the dark guard to release his dumb acupoint.

As soon as he untied it, he shouted: "My lord! I know I was wrong! Please give me another chance, I promise I won't do it again!"

Repeat?Hmph, I won't give you the chance to commit another crime.

"At the beginning, you insisted on being the king's slave, and now you do something to bully the master. Do you think the king will keep you?"

I will not give you a chance to hurt Fanjun again. Anything that threatens Fanjun must be eradicated as soon as possible.

"My lord! My lord! The slave didn't bully the master!"

He slapped him across the air, and half of his cheeks instantly became red and swollen.

"No? I saw you bullying my concubine with my own eyes today. Could it be that you lost your memory?"

With a pale face, Wen Liu stared at me blankly, her eyes full of disbelief and despair.

I glanced at it and was not interested in reading any more. I smiled coldly, "Wei Si, deal with it according to the rules of the palace."

"Yes."

Wei Si was about to move when Wen Liu suddenly blushed and shouted: "I like you! My lord! Wen Liu likes you!"

All the shadow guards were stunned, and my eyes suddenly turned cold when I looked at him: "Then you deserve to die even more!"

This person cannot stay.

Wen Liu smiled miserably when he heard this, and when he became depressed, his whole body exuded a sense of sadness.

He raised his hand to signal Wei Si to take him down to deal with him.

Back in the room, seeing Fanjun sitting on the bed reading medical books, his eyes warmed up, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, and he approached slowly.

"Why are you still watching, don't watch, it hurts your eyes if you watch for too long."

Gently pulling the medical book out of his hand, some fool who was addicted to it realized that I was back.

"I haven't watched it for long, it's only been a short while."

Fan Jun looked at me with slightly playful eyes.

Pettingly pinched his little face, "I've been watching it since I finished eating, it's been a while."

Hearing what I said, he turned his head in embarrassment.

"Okay, go to bed, you should be tired after a busy day."

"not bad."

He obediently lay down on the bed, and when I was lying on the bed, he got into my arms and rubbed against me, then closed his eyes.

I kissed the top of his hair, raised my hand to extinguish the candle with a strong wind, hugged the person in my arms, and fell asleep peacefully.
