Hanhou

Zhao Jia didn't know how long he had slept.

When I regained consciousness, my limbs seemed to be filled with lead, my eyelids felt tense, and it was extremely difficult to even move my fingertips.The only consolation is that the cushions under the body are very comfortable.

Maybe it was too comfortable, Zhao Jia closed his eyes, unconsciously approached the heat source, rubbed it lightly twice, and let out a satisfied nasal sound.

Rubbing and rubbing, a low laugh came from my ear.

The voice is very familiar...

His mind began to spin, and his memories gradually came back. The battlefield, the fire, exhaustion, and fainting. The last memory was that he almost fell off his horse and was supported by Wei Yue.After that, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he still couldn't remember anything, not even a fragment of the picture.

"Hodor."

As the warm breath brushed past his ears, Zhao Jia opened his eyes with difficulty, his vision changed from blurred to clear, and he finally saw the so-called "cushion".

Probably because his sanity has not yet fully returned, Zhao Jia made a move that would never appear when he was "sober", stretched out his hand, and poked the half-open neckline of the "cushion".

There was another burst of laughter, clearer than before.

Immediately afterwards, warm palms covered his forehead, his slender fingers combed through the scattered black hair, and gently pressed the top of his hair.

"It's not hot anymore."

Zhao Jia raised his head, but before he could observe the surroundings, he saw Wei Yue leaning on the couch, with his clothes half open, no bun, and his black hair tied only with silk, hanging down his shoulders like satin.There was a smile in his eyes, which softened his handsome features, and the corners of his lips were raised, obviously in a good mood.

"Third son?"

Zhao Jia was completely awake, opened his mouth to speak, but his throat was dry for a while, and he could only make mouth shapes, and it became extremely difficult to speak.Surprised, he was about to stand up with his elbows, ignoring the big hands covering his shoulders, and was quickly pressed back to his original position.

"Hoduo has injuries on his shoulder, back and abdomen. Even though his fever has subsided, he still needs to be careful in his actions."

Wei Yue sat up from the couch while speaking.Without calling anyone, he carefully picked up Zhao Jia, walked around the screen in a few steps, sat down in front of the short table, poured warm water from the clay pot, held a cup with one hand, and handed it to Zhao Jia's mouth.

Leaning in Wei Yue's arms, Zhao Jia's face was marked with a big "惊".Handing the lacquer cup to his mouth, it took him two seconds to recover.Tried to raise the arm several times without success.

Third Young Master Wei clearly intended to do it himself, but his throat was really dry, so Zhao Jia could only give up struggling, and tried to take a sip from the lacquer cup that was handed to his mouth.

The water soaks into the mouth and tastes sweet.

Zhao Jia wanted to grab the lacquer cup very much, and raised his head to catch it. Wei Yue deliberately moved his hand away, and said with a smile: "Aduo just woke up, don't be impatient, be careful of choking."

A glass of warm water, drank for 3 minutes.

When the smoke stopped coming from his throat and he could move his arms, Zhao Jia tried to stand up, not wanting to be bound around his waist.Wei Yue smiled gently, but her strength was not light at all.Carefully avoiding his wound, without causing any discomfort, pushed him back again.

Second time.

Zhao Jia frowned and said, "Third Young Master, please let go of Jia."

The arms around his waist did not move, but instead gained some strength.Wei Yue rested her chin on the top of Zhao Jia's hair, and sighed, "Aduo hasn't woken up, I'm really worried."

Zhao Jia was silent for a moment, and just about to speak, he heard Wei Yue say, "For three days, I have slept with Ah Duo every night, using my body as a pillow, no credit but hard work, how can Ah Duo be so ruthless?"

What? !

It was like thunder falling from the sky, with a crackling sound, Zhao Junhou's outside was scorched and his inside was tender.

Seeing someone with a sad face, Zhao Jia's eyes widened. He couldn't believe it. This was the gentle and gentle Mr. Wei, who was praised by the world.

He has always known that Wei Yue has a bad appearance and is a white-skinned black-skinned girl.But I never thought that this person has the attribute of a rogue.

It was too shocking, Zhao Jia forgot what he said, and just sat in Wei Yue's arms, maintaining an expression of disbelief.

After a while, success elicited a chuckle.

"Hodor."

With both arms around Zhao Jia, Wei Yue shook gently, as if she was coaxing him to sleep when she was young.The tone became more gentle, and the laughter was low, like catkins brushing the water, and the breeze plucking the strings.

Before Zhao Jia came back to his senses, there was a rush of footsteps outside the room, and then the door was opened, and Li Danghu, who was dressed in straight dark clothes and had his hair tied up in silk cloth, appeared by the door.

Seeing the two people in front of the screen, surprise first appeared on their faces, and then surprise appeared on their faces.He took off his shoes, walked quickly into the room, and sat directly opposite Wei Yue.

"The doctor said that Ah Duo would wake up in the next two days, so it is true." Li Danghu said as he picked up the clay pot, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it in two gulps.

Wei Yue still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were slightly unkind.

I don't know if he didn't notice it, or if he found it but ignored it on purpose, Li Danghu put down the lacquer lamp and said with a smile: "Ah Yue's performance that day was really scary. And rushed back to kill people."

Having said that, Li Danghu put away his smile and became solemn.

"Aduo, I will remember this kindness. If you want to help me in the future, I will have nothing to say!"

"Jia is a county lieutenant, this is the duty that should be fulfilled."

Hearing this, Li Danghu behaved very strangely, looked at Wei Yue, the corners of his mouth trembled twice, reluctantly took out the dagger from his waist, and put it on the table together with the scabbard.

Zhao Jia was puzzled.

Where's the trouble?

Wei Yue picked up the dagger, tested the sharpness of the blade, and nodded in satisfaction.

"I said Ah Duo would answer like this, but Li Sima didn't believe it."

Li Danghu drank another cup of warm water, and said in pain: "I knew Wei Jiyu was cunning, but I didn't remember the lesson. To be honest, you have already set your sights on my dagger?"

"That's a bad word."

"really?"

Wei Yue smiled and said nothing, her superior IQ, everything was said in silence.

Seeing him like this, Li Danghu felt angry, no matter how much water he drank, it would be difficult to suppress his anger, and he was about to shoot the case.

When the three of them were talking, Zhao Jia regained his strength, pushed the arms around his waist, stood up and sat down.Just a few simple movements made his eyes dizzy, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

This time, Wei Yue didn't pull him back, but poured another cup of water, and like a magic trick, he took out a flat box a few times, opened the lid, and there were lumps of caramel inside.

Zhao Jia took a sip of warm water, took another piece of caramel, and watched Li Danghu and Wei Yue compete, feeling more relaxed.Recalling all kinds of grasslands, thinking of the lost comrades, the ease became unreal, and the heavy weight weighed on my heart again.

When the water cup was placed on the table, there was a light sound.

"After the battle that day, did anyone return?"

As if pressing the pause button, Wei Yue and Li Danghu fell silent at the same time.

After a long time, Wei Yue said: "Nothing."

"No?" Zhao Jia sighed. He knew that the possibility was slim, but he always held the last hope.

"The Huns have retreated." Wei Yue continued, "When they stepped into the camp that day, more than [-] Hu cavalry were killed and injured, most of them were killed and trampled by each other. The rest retreated ten miles. A few days ago, Taishou Zhi and Li Taishou jointly sent troops, and the Xiongnu were blocked. Outside the county. Just yesterday, the Hu Qi who attacked Yanmen and Dai County all retreated to the grassland."

In fact, the Huns could not withdraw if they wanted to.

The consequences of Ying Xiao are too terrifying, the dead don't mention it, the living have no fighting spirit, and the morale of the army is lax.

Yi Zhixie knew very well that if he pressed his subordinates and forcibly marched, he might not be able to win, but the possibility of failure would be even greater.Now that he knew the result, he was determined to withdraw even under the pressure of the royal court.

Affected by him, the Xiongnu who attacked Dai County also quickly turned back.

The main force going south was in Yanmen County, and Yi Zhixie left just like that. If the Han army slowed down and surrounded him with heavy troops, they lost their lives instead of food, would they be wronged?

Historically, Zhidu died at the age of Ming, and the Huns invaded the country. They once broke through Yanmen, and Ma stepped into Wuquan and entered Shangjun.During this war, several horse farms in Bianjun were destroyed and looted, and the horses were either looted or fled and scattered. More than 2000 officials and soldiers died in battle, shaking Chang'an.

Now, Yunzhongqi was born out of nowhere, together with the cavalry from Shangjun and the pawns brought out by Zhao Jia, they first robbed the headquarters of the Huns, and by the way put a black pot on Xianbei's head, causing chaos in the grassland hinterland;

Immediately afterwards, he stepped through King Zuoguli's camp, causing a howl in the camp, and involved Hu Qi who had been chasing him all the way. Not counting the deaths, he also lost a lot of luggage, causing immeasurable losses.

In the past two years, every time the Xiongnu went south, they didn't take much advantage, and the other departments suffered a lot, and the headquarters was no exception.

In this case, even if the Huns come back next year, they will not be able to easily break through the frontier defenses.

What's more, Wei Shang, Zhidu, and Li Guang are three great gods sitting on the frontier, and if they catch a fighter, they will give the Xiongnu a counterattack.

Saddles and stirrups appeared in advance, and with the efforts of Tangyi Hou Chenwu, a large number of frontier troops have been equipped.With the confidence of Han Qi to fight head-on with the Xiongnu, it is not difficult to really chase into the grassland and wipe out a few unsightly tribes.

Yunzhong County is already doing similar things, and with Zhidu's temperament, he will only be more ruthless than Wei Shang.

Li Guang wiped out the army, Wei Shangtu's troops, and Zhi all cut off the roots of the Hu people.

The bosses of the border county cooperated with each other and showed the banner. It is hard to guarantee that the Xiongnu will not stop cooking a few years earlier.Before that, the Biebu barbarian nomads near the border of Han were excellent training targets, and they would all knelt down and sang conquest first.

Through the mouths of Wei Yue and Li Danghu, Zhao Jia knew that he was in the Yanmen Fortress, and the Yunzhong Cavalry and Shangjun cavalry were resting. Wei Qingye and the caravan leader set off to return to Yunzhong first, and reported to Wei Taishou how they left the fortress.

If it wasn't for the fact that Zhao Jia was too seriously injured to move, he should have set off for Shaling as soon as possible after the battle.

He held the seal of the county lieutenant in his hand, and he was not allowed to leave the county for too long unless it was a war.Even if the situation in the border county is special, the county magistrates will leave if they say no, but since the person is still there, he cannot be absent at will.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jia and Wei Yue suggested that since he has regained consciousness and proved that his injuries are not serious, he should see the prefect Zhi as soon as possible, and then leave to return.

"It's time to start."

Compared with Zhao Jia, Wei Yue, as the captain of the Ministry, and Li Danghu as Sima, should not stay in other counties for a long time when there is no war.It's just that the Xiongnu army had just retreated, and the troops needed to rest, and Zhao Jia was still seriously injured, so the journey was delayed.

"On the way back, ask Zhi Shijun for a medical craftsman and a cart." Li Danghu suggested.

The medical craftsman who treated Zhao Jia's wounds was a descendant of a family of doctors, and the method of cutting pulse was passed down from doctor Lu.

It is reported that when Zhidu was the prefect of Jinan, this person followed him and played a great role in punishing local tyrants and bullies.

As for the details of the "function", it is not easy to get into it for the time being.But when it comes to treating trauma, this person is extremely skilled, definitely one of the best in Bian County.

Li Danghu meant to ask this person to leave.

Zhao Jia shook his head without thinking.

Based on this person's origin and behavior style, he will continue to be attached to Zhidu.Besides, he has been injured a few times, and he has confidence in his resilience. At worst, he should eat more meat and be careful on the road. He shouldn't need to find a doctor specially.

As for the injured cavalry, according to Wei Yue and Li Danghu's tone, they rested for a few days, and now they are alive and kicking.He was not the most injured, but he was the last to wake up.

While talking, the healthy servant outside the door reported that the medical craftsman came to change Zhao Jia's medicine.

When the door opened, a benevolent old man walked into the room with a medicine box on his back.

After seeing the ceremony, the old man asked Zhao Jia to go back to the couch, untied the cloth strips tied around his body, and carefully inspected the wound.After confirming that there is no redness, swelling and inflammation, take out a can of wound medicine from the medicine box, dig it out with bamboo slices, and apply it to the wound that is starting to heal.

"I heard the name of the Marquis earlier, but it's a pity that I never got to see him." The old man put away the pottery vase, took a clean cloth and wrapped it around Zhao Jia, and said, "Now I have to face to face. I actually have something to ask the Marquis."

While speaking, the old man bowed his hands to Zhao Jia.

"Elders don't have to be like this. Jia will know everything within his ability."

"Thank you, Marquis Jun." The old man was overjoyed, and immediately pointed out that he had heard about the punishment of "Ling Chi" and tried it in the county.It's just that during the interrogation, the cuts are often less than a hundred cuts, and the prisoner is already breathless, which can't reach the rumored "thousand cuts".

"Where did you do it wrong?" The old man said, gesticulating with his hand to demonstrate how he cut the knife, "I also ask the Marquis for your advice."

Three key criminals were held in the county prison, all of whom were Huns spies.One of them was of Han descent, who had been hiding in the county for several years, and even became a big businessman in the county. He even organized a gang of bandits in private.

Before Zhidu took office, the Xiongnu broke through Yanmen several times, and the three of them often passed on information.He even joined Hu Qi and burned, killed and looted the city.In order to avoid revealing his identity, he had to slaughter all of Liju, and his methods were no less cruel than the Xiongnu.

After being arrested and brought to justice, the three were held in prison for several months, exhausted their means, their backs, buttocks and legs were almost torn apart by whips, and they were still bitten to death without opening their mouths.Zhi thought of using Ling Chi, but the old man was worried that the knife would be too fast and kill the person directly.

Fortunately, Zhao Jia is now in the county, and as the swordsman trusted by the prefect Zhi, the old man upholds professionalism, and in order to keep improving, he takes the initiative to come to ask for advice.

Facing such a professional talent, Zhao Jia really didn't know what to say.It is absolutely impossible to hem and haw and deal with things. In the end, he can only tell the truth, saying that he only has theoretical knowledge and has not really implemented it.

The old man sighed very much.

It is really extraordinary to have such a superior idea without practical experience.

"Master Zhao Jun!"

Zhao Jia pressed the wound, looked at the old man's kind smile, and then glanced at Wei Yue and Li Danghu who were obviously snickering. He could only twitch the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and bit the bullet to accept the compliment.
