Zhi Xuan

That night, Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao returned to the camp respectively.

The camp gates were closed, fires were lit in the camp, and torches were lit around the tents.

The firelight and the moonlight complement each other, attracting light-loving bugs.The bugs were no more than the size of a sesame seed, and they gathered more and more. Large groups flew around the camp, like black veils circling and fluttering at night.

The swarms continued to gather and spread, gradually covering the entire camp.

These little black bugs don't bite, but they are really annoying.Often large pieces fall on the patrol soldiers, and they will continue to drill into the nose and ears, and even the eyes cannot be spared.If you are not careful, a few will get into your nostrils and ears, leaving an unpleasant smell after being crushed to death, which will not disappear in a few days.

Fortunately, there are witch doctors in the camp.

After inspecting the swarm of insects and identifying the main types of insects, the witch doctor took local materials and ordered people to search around the camp with torches, looking for a unique herb, crushing the root of the herb, mixing two kinds of medicinal powder, and The residue and juice are applied to the body, which is very effective in repelling the insect swarm.

There is also a disadvantage in doing so. The sap of the plant has a dyeing effect. When applied to the skin, it will appear light blue, and it needs to be washed with warm water.

"Harmless to people?" Zhi Xuan walked out of the tent and saw the herbal medicine that the witch doctor put in a bowl, the faint green color, no matter how you looked at it, it looked poisonous.

"Don't worry, my lord, the herbs are non-toxic and beneficial." The witch doctor said with a meaningful smile.

Zhi Xuan looked at him carefully, and felt that the old man was smiling strangely, and he didn't look like a good person at all.

Delusion?

Herbs should be used naturally.

Patrolling soldiers line up to get the medicine, and apply the herbal medicine on the cheeks, forehead, neck and hands according to the witch doctor's instructions.

The witch doctor's medical skills are quite superb, and the medicine is also very precise.The color of the medicine juice is not good-looking, but the effect is excellent.It is cool and refreshing when applied on the skin, exuding a refreshing smell, and the annoying bugs are quickly dispelled, and they never dare to approach again.

In addition, Zuo Wu also discovered that herbal medicine has another effect, which can refresh the mind and make people energetic.

"Don't take it orally!" Seeing a soldier trying to put the concoction into his mouth, the witch doctor immediately stopped him.

"Remember, this medicine can only be smeared, not taken." The witch doctor was worried that some people would not listen to the advice, and there would be problems with taking the medicine in private, so he immediately ordered the medicine servants who accompanied him to send a message to everyone, and the medicine must not be swallowed, otherwise it will not become a person. Spirituality, but a hard night.

"Why can't you take it?" Zhi Xuan asked curiously as the soldier who was waiting to receive the medicine left.

"My lord, this medicine can refresh you when you take it externally, and strengthen your yang if you take it orally," said the witch doctor.

In a camp with more than 1000 people, you can't take medicine casually!

While speaking, the witch doctor opened the medicine box and took out a small clay pot, solemnly handed it in front of Zhixuan, and said, "This is something I prepared before, adding three kinds of medicine in it, the effect is better."

Zhi Xuan looked at the witch doctor, then at the pot handed to him.

Aphrodisiac?

Is it the aphrodisiac he thought of?

Give it to him and say it works well.

What does this mean?

Seeing that Zhi Xuan didn't move, the witch doctor directly stuffed the medicine jar into his hand, and said seriously: "Young master has been poisoned twice, and his body's vitality has been damaged, and more recuperation is needed."

Zhi Xuan didn't speak.

"Young Master has no concubines, and neither does Gongzi Hao. To prevent unharmonious life in the future, keep this thing by your side. If you have the opportunity, you might as well give it a try, so you can be confident." The witch doctor said it calmly, without the slightest hint of concubine. I feel something is wrong.

Zhi Xuan continued to remain silent.

It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but that he didn't know what to say.

The matter between him and Zhao Hao hadn't even been written off, and even the engagement procedure hadn't gone through, this one started to worry about his married life, isn't it too fast?

Furthermore, when talking about similar topics, there is no concealment, it is as natural as eating and drinking.

People in ancient times were so enthusiastic, bold and unrestrained?

With an indescribable feeling, Zhi Xuan accepted the medicine jar.After sending the witch doctor away, he sat in the tent and meditated. Compared with the real ancients, he was more conservative and feudal.Although it was unbelievable, the facts were right in front of my eyes, and I couldn't even pretend I couldn't see them.

That night, because Zhixuan brought the witch doctor, everyone in the camp was spared the pain of being harassed by bugs, and finally got a good night's sleep.

Zhao Hao's subordinates are not the same.

There is no deworming medicine, so when Zuwu patrols the camp, he can only cover his face and neck with a cloth towel.Try to seal the curtains when you sleep to prevent bugs from getting in.

However, there are too many bugs, and there are still many people who are infected.Walking in the camp at dawn, everyone who passed by would cover their noses.

The smell is really bad!

When Zhao Hao learned about the situation, he remembered that there was a witch doctor beside Zhi Xuan, so he personally took people across the camp to ask for help.

Zhi Xuan was having breakfast, when he heard Zhao Hao's visit, he hurriedly put down his chopsticks, straightened his clothes as quickly as possible, and drove to meet him.

As soon as they met each other, Zhi Xuan found that Zhao Hao had changed into a long robe again.

Flame red, embroidered with gold thread at the sleeves and neckline.The belt is inlaid with white jade of the same color, and the jade crown is the same color as the belt. Under the sun, the complexion becomes fairer, and the whole person is as if carved from white jade.

Standing on the car, Zhi Xuan looked at Zhao Hao opposite, feeling a little dazzled.

He found the government order's proposal to be forward-looking.If I didn't prepare a few more sets of clothes in advance and compare them with Zhao Hao, wouldn't it appear that I didn't pay enough attention to the meeting?Sure enough, listen to the old man.

As soon as the thought came to him, he remembered the clay pot that the witch doctor gave him.

Zhi Xuan immediately paused.

Although they are all old people, individual circumstances still need to be considered, and they cannot be trusted blindly.If you doubt anything, you can't doubt his kidneys, this is a man's dignity!

After the two met, Zhao Hao explained his purpose.

After Zhi Xuan listened, he said generously that there was no problem, and immediately ordered someone to invite the witch doctor.Although he knows the herbal medicine to repel insects, he can't do it for him.This is respect for witch doctors, as well as etiquette and rules.

The witch doctor listened to the attendant's explanation, speculated about the situation in Zhao Hao's camp, and specially brought a medicine box.If Zhi Xuan ordered, he would go to the camp for diagnosis and treatment in person.

While waiting, Zhao Hao's subordinates also saw clearly the appearance of everyone in the camp.

Since the insect swarm only left temporarily and did not disappear, no one in the camp planned to wash off the herbs.As a result, the face, neck and hands are stained green.

Lighting torches at night looks absolutely terrifying.Fortunately, everyone is the same, you scare me and I scare you, you can get used to being scared two or three times.

The sky was bright, and everyone on my own was used to seeing it, so naturally I didn't think there was anything wrong.Apart from Zhixuan and the two subordinate doctors, even the chief of the armor was walking around in the camp with a green face.

Zhao Hao's subordinates have never seen such a scene.

At first glance, there was a row of green men standing behind Gong Zixuan. He was quite surprised, but he tried to maintain his expression, his facial features were unconsciously distorted, which looked a bit funny.

After the witch doctor arrived, he solemnly stepped forward to salute.

Zhixuan explained the situation face to face, and intentionally sent a witch doctor to the camp temporarily to help people in Zhao land deworm and treat them.

"promise!"

The witch doctor took the order and left with Zhao Hao and his party.

When Zhi Xuan sent Zhao Hao out of the camp, he found that the other party was a bit reluctant, and even took a look at the place where the cooking smoke was rising.

"Illusion?"

Zhi Xuan scratched his chin, thinking that he was thinking too much.

The majestic son of Bei'an, the son Hao who swept across the frontier and made Di Rong frightened, would want to have breakfast, impossible, absolutely impossible!

Thinking about it, Zhi Xuan turned back to the tent, picked up his rice bowl, and took a bite of the very thick boiled millet porridge, paired with a piece of pickled vegetables, the taste was so good that he squinted his eyes, it was so delicious!

After the witch doctor came to camp, he quickly formulated the right herbal medicine.Since they are all used for external use, the people of Zhao land have been dyed green one after another after using the medicine, just like those in Zhixuan camp.

Three poles in the sun, all the herbs have been distributed.

According to the original plan, Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao sent a team to set up a tent and build an earthen platform between the two battalions. After they were ready to negotiate, they made a marriage contract on the spot.

Since there is no precedent, it is difficult for the clan to set all the procedures.In view of the identities of the two sons, we can only refer to the alliance of princes and the marriage, the covenant and the marriage contract are half and half, and a unique ceremony is blended.

The historian writes and follows the clan. When the other party makes a decision, he will record two.Zongren started to scratch his head, but he just stood by and happily acted as the background board.

Sure enough, things need to be compared.

Seeing someone so distressed, my troubles were instantly relieved, and I felt extraordinarily comfortable.

The patriarch glanced at the official historian. The latter looked at his nose, nose, and heart, and he didn't look at him at all. His gloating look was obvious, and it was impossible to cover it up.

Holding his breath in his chest, Zongren gritted his back molars vigorously.It's hard to care about it now, and don't let him find opportunities in the future.Yanlu, you wait for me!

No matter how troubled the clan members were, the relevant ceremony was finally settled.

On the day of the negotiation, Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao each put out their guards of honor, and after the witch doctor prayed, they climbed up the earthen platform side by side, offered sacrifices to all sides, and then walked into the big tent.

There are two rows of desks in the tent, Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao are at the top, and their subordinate officials are at the bottom, sitting opposite each other, neatly dressed, with solemn expressions.

According to the procedure, before the negotiations start, each side will have a subordinate official make an opening statement.

The situation is at an impasse over who comes first.

If there is a distinction between strong and weak, regardless of marriage, the strong country will be in front and the weak country will be in the rear.If the strengths are equal, the one who asks to marry will be the first.

Zhixuan and Zhao Hao set a precedent. The two sons agreed on a marriage alliance. There is no historical data to follow, which can be called unprecedented.Also, Xiyuan Kingdom and Bei'an Kingdom are similar in strength, and they are both sons of the first line, so it is difficult to decide this order.

After a long stalemate, there was no result. Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao discussed that it would be better to omit this link, lest the matter could not continue.

According to Zhi Xuan's assumption, he and Zhao Hao should discuss this matter alone.First confirm each other's intentions, then start to exchange conditions, and finally agree on the marriage and sign the alliance.

Unexpectedly, the plan did not change quickly. The other party brought the clan and the historian, and the two of them could not talk behind closed doors. Everything had to be strictly followed.

This not only slows down the progress of the matter, but also adds a lot of difficulty to the issues that need to be discussed.But it is also beneficial to do so. Everything follows the procedures and etiquette. After the matter is agreed, the marriage letter can be signed. After copying it, it will be delivered directly to the monarchs of the two countries.

Zhi Xuan and Zhao Hao reached an agreement, and the subordinate officials in the tent did not want to continue the stalemate, so they put aside this link very tacitly and went directly to the topic.

The first question, the two young masters intend to form a marriage alliance, whoever will marry whomever.

"My son gave the divine bird pendant as an engagement."

"No, my son first gave the jade ring."

"Nonsense!"

"I speak the truth!"

The subordinates refused to give in to each other.When the words were fierce, it was almost necessary to roll up the arms and sleeves, and the transition from verbal confrontation to armed confrontation.

Zhao Hao has participated in the alliance of the feudal states, so he is not surprised by this.

The first time Zhi Xuan saw it, it was an eye-opener.When he saw that both sides started to throw bamboo slips and knives and pens towards the opposite side, he was about to stop, but Zhao Hao held down his wrists.

"No problem." Zhao Hao said.

no problem?

Zhi Xuan turned to look at Zhao Hao, it's all about copying weapons, is it okay?

Seeing Zhixuan's expression for the first time, Zhao Hao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, still pressing Zhixuan's wrist with his palm, brushing the back of his hand with his fingertips, and said gently: "It's okay, don't worry about it."

Zhi Xuan blinked, and looked down at the overlapping hands of the two.

Is he being taken advantage of?

Amidst the fierce quarrel, only the historian remained motionless, sitting behind the desk with bamboo slips spread out in front of him.

There was an unidentified object flying towards him, and the historian calmly tilted his head to avoid it.

This is the experience imparted by the elders in the family. Training has been started since childhood, and it is very useful in similar situations. It can save life if necessary, and avoid injury.

Bowing his head to avoid the flying knives and pens, the historian held a pen to record, meticulous, and the handwriting was very neat, not affected by the surrounding environment at all.

"It's the day, I will be in the tent, and the words are very strong."
