The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

The shouting and shouting at the gate of the city did not stop until noon.The sound of driving cattle and pulling horses was everywhere in the city, as if they were transporting something to the city gate. Later, even the old man of their landlord started to move, and Lin Mo was embarrassed to lie down. The cotton trousers in the middle of the quilt were put on tremblingly.Shui Rong felt that he was swollen like a radish, so he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "I really should ask someone to draw it and take it to the capital to see if there are any big girls and young wives coming to you next time you ride a horse in the city." Throwing flowers and fruits on them."

Lin Mo took a long time to put on the cotton trousers, and carefully tied the knee pads and leggings. His legs had old ailments, and he didn't dare to be careless. After they were tied up, they became more and more swollen. When he walked, he felt that his legs were rubbing against each other. .Shui Rong looked amused: "Go and save lives and heal the wounded for the country and the people, and I'll go back to sleep after a while."

"You can really sleep." Lin Mo dismissed him, but he knew that he had a fever for a long time last night. Once it’s ready, it’s burnt and I haven’t stopped tossing.After covering the quilt for others, he rolled over and got out of bed, washed himself, and then went out. When he opened the door, he was shivered by the cold wind blowing in his face. He wrapped his jacket tightly and followed the landlady out of the yard.

The old man is getting old, but he is in good health, so he asked along the way: "Is the official coming from Beijing?"

"That's right." Lin Mo asked casually, "The old man lives in Mohe, except for this time, is the rest of the time peaceful?"

"It's rare this year. No matter how we fight, it's rare to enter the city. In the first few days, General Bai hasn't come back. From time to time, people from Beidi broke into the city. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, there were small One hundred, killed a lot of people.” The old man felt sorry for him, “At that time, there was not much food in the city, so you can’t starve Bing Ye, everyone is trying to find something to eat—fortunately, the official You are here."

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat: "Crane City and De City didn't have any food transfers?"

"Where can that be, it's not enough for animals to eat, and there are still people." The old man said happily, "Guard, I think you are young, have you married yet?"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "We're married." He thought of his younger siblings, wife and children, and felt quite at ease, "I don't think the old man is in a hurry?"

"General Bai said, there is no need to worry about shutting people out of our city gates. Back then, there were still people who broke into the gate and went to the emperor's feet. Now there is no need to worry about food and food. Medicine, the city gate has been strengthened, and they won’t be able to enter for a while, and after a while, the reinforcements will come.” The old man smiled, but asked again, “It’s just that the officials are here, why are the reinforcements not coming?” arrive?"

Lin Mo was taken aback for a moment, and then said casually, "I... I took a shortcut, because I was afraid that the folks would have nothing to eat."

"The officer is really a good man."

There are people coming and going on the road, which is not orderly.Lin Mo looked at the kerosene and rocks on the uncle's cart. He was getting closer to the barracks where he was stationed, and more and more people were in a hurry. He had informed someone outside and pushed the cart in. There was a big The tarpaulin tent was originally the camp of the coach, but it was vacated to house some seriously injured patients. Lin Mo pulled out and went in, looking at them one by one. Some people wanted to salute him, so he shook his head and helped them lie down, helping others to watch To see whether the bones are straight or not, a corporal leader was changing bandages for someone. Seeing him coming, he first said: "I have seen Mr. Lin—General Bai is on the tower."

"I know, I won't make trouble for him." Lin Mo muffled.

The gates of Mohe were different from the ones in his head, from the many gates he had seen in the past 20 years.It is very tall, reinforced by all kinds of stones and wood, but it is full of holes, which makes people feel trembling.There are more than a dozen catapults on the city gate—in fact, there were only five of them, and the others were made by craftsmen in a hurry. They are very rough, so they can't put too heavy stones, let alone throw gunpowder.

Below the city gate are the Beidi people who are screaming. They just lost a general, and when they are very angry, they almost want to rush forward to take revenge.The ladders were driven one after another, and the rope hooks were thrown up one after another. The archers who were far away, as soon as they reached the city gate, there was a rain of arrows.

"Where did they get so many supplies?" Lin Mo asked.

Xiao Bing replied: "How can this little one know?"

Shouldn't.

Bai Shiyue had no time to pay attention to his nephew's whim.He stood on the city gate, not daring to wear his conspicuous silver helmet and red-tasseled bright armor as usual as a target for others, but he didn't leave even a single step, Xi He rushed forward holding his shield: "Change the medicine."

Bai Shiyue lowered his head and took a look: "The wound is not open, it doesn't matter."

"Bah, what are you kidding?" Xi He didn't shy away, and was about to take off the clothes of the temporary commander in front of people, "You have a brother-in-law surnamed Lin, is this something a wounded person can say? The general is not here, if you get infected, I can't help it."

The people around did not squint.Bai Shiyue let someone strip his upper body in broad daylight, revealing the blood-stained bandages that had been whipped, hurriedly removed them, and wiped them with a damp cloth—rather he also screamed: "This Is it salt water?"

"A burnt knife mixed with water. Your nephew brought it here." Xi He carelessly wiped the wound, applied ointment, and put on a new bandage.Don’t forget to tidy up the ones that have been replaced, and they can still be used after washing. “There are enough supplies in the camp now, so don’t worry too much.”

"What am I worried about?" Bai Shiyue sneered, "either today or tomorrow."

Xi He tacitly said: "Okay. Shall I inform you?"

They have fought side by side for decades, although they are not as tired as the younger generation, but when it comes to tacit understanding and advancing together, they are inferior to the younger generation.Shui Rong didn't dare to let Lin Mo know, Bai Shiyue was able to tell Xi He.So seeing Shui Rong's provocative appearance, he told the two of them to go back and laugh for half the night.It's too bad the kids don't know.

Lin Mo tried his best to calm down, and he was treating the wounded, when suddenly someone came and said, "Master Lin, General Xi has an invitation."

General Xi?In this place, there is Mr. Xi, who is at his uncle's place now, and of course there is General Xi—it doesn't mean that he is seriously injured, and he is old, and now it is difficult to get out of bed. Has he not gone to the pass for treatment?To be honest, Lin Mo felt that Xi Songxi would not live for a few more days based on the injury Lin Mo heard.He took a deep breath and said to the visitor, "Lead the way."

In terms of rank, Xi Songxi is higher than him.He put his hands behind his back and thought, really, it's a good thing that King Beijing Jing is not here.I have to salute—I don't know how injured General Xi is?

Old General Xi also lived in the fellow's house, but he was surrounded by his own soldiers in three circles in the courtyard.He stood at the entrance of the courtyard, looked at the little soldier who was about to search him, folded his arms and asked, "Did you hear the sound of the drum?" He was taken aback by the question, and said, "It's Beidi's drum." Lin Mo Nodded: "You have 100 people here?"

"Back to adults, 61."

"I brought more than 300 people here," Lin Mo said with a smile. "There are more than 100 people on the city wall, and the rest are all practicing. Last night, the King of Beijing was burning, so I personally guarded him." He asked, "Are you from the Xi family, or from which camp?"

The guard froze, speechless.

Just as Lin Mo wanted to call for someone, he realized that he was really a bare-handed commander, and he didn't even have anyone to support the situation, so he could only pat the soldier who was stunned by his question: "Go and call Adjutant Xi. I'll wait outside." After that, Seeing that no one was moving, he could only sigh, "Hey, don't look at me like this, in fact, I really brought Shang Fang's sword here."

The soldier ran away.

Lin Mo was not afraid of the strong wind, so he sat on the threshold with his arms folded.When Shui Rong held his Shangfang sword and asked a fellow villager to lead the way, he couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this: "Jingyuan Hou looks like this, with a big fur hat, he can put a grass sign Sell ​​yourself."

"Will King Jing buy it?" Lin Mo sat aside.

Shui Rong sat down regardless of his appearance, and gave him an earmuff: "Your ears are red, you will get chilblains when you go back. I'm afraid it won't get better in the future. When winter comes, it will be painful and itchy again." I don't know how distressed Princess Jingning and Tonglin should be."

The two of them are sitting outside.Others still don't feel it, please

I heard that Xi Songxi would get out of bed to invite her in person despite her illness, and the two of them remained unmoved until Xi He came over with a half-eaten porridge bowl: "Xiao Lin, what's important? Can't even wait for a meal?"

"Call 61 people to send the old general Xi to Decheng, invite the best doctor, and make sure there is no delay." Lin Mo also disagreed with him, "The carriage is from the Beijing Palace."

"Master Xiaolin." Xi He restrained his smile, "I don't remember that the supervising army has the right to control what the general does."

Generals in foreign military orders are not accepted, not to mention that the officer has already reached the point of Xi Songxi.

Shui Rong gave a dry cough, and handed Shang Fang's sword to Lin Mo.

"There's no such reason!" Xi He said angrily, "What do you mean, Marquis Jingyuan? Do you think the Xi family is holding back? Or don't you believe us?" Shui Rong said, "Actually, it's what I meant..." Lin Mo interrupted He: "Don't talk." He smiled, "That's what I mean. Old General Xi gets out of bed if he can fight, and if he can't, he goes to the pass. What good does it do for the army's heart if he is here?"

Xi He laughed back angrily: "I didn't know that it would be good for the army's morale if the commander-in-chief leaves the city!"

The two were confronting each other, and someone came out with Xi Songxi behind his back.

He was seriously injured, with sunken eye sockets and protruding bones. Looking at it from a distance, Lin Mo knew that he must have fallen off a horse—there was an internal injury, and it was not serious.To be honest, at the age of old general Xi, he shouldn't have to suffer.He should have a few people guarding the yard.What's more, Mohe is now, Lin Mo is reluctant to pour water from loquat leaves, so what good is it for his injury.

"It seems that the old man is really old." Xi Songxi took a big breath every time he said two words, "However, there has never been a precedent for the coach to leave the camp! What Jing Yuanhou said was the old man's fault—— this guard The soldiers in the courtyard should not be serving the old man, He Qi, you take them away and arrange them."

Lin Mo said leisurely: "Old General Xi, this junior doesn't want to discuss matters with you. I hope you can understand." He turned his head to look at Shui Rong, "Your horse can still run?"

"I don't know which car it's tied to - that's fine, I know." Shui Rong muttered.

"The general has reached this age, and he is exhausted," Xi He gritted his teeth, "Master Lin is really kind."

Lin Mo looked back at him, and while making room for the soldiers to pack up, he said softly, "Mr. Xi, I'm a doctor." He shook his head, "It's impossible to bring medicinal materials from other places. Yes, these are the last supplies in Mohe. If you don’t spend a lot of time, you’ll be like Beidi in a few days—” He didn’t make it clear what he said.

But Xi He understood.

It's like a curse, but it's absolutely true.

But why is it the last supply?

That afternoon, Xi Songxi was sent to Decheng.

That night, Song Yan attacked Beidi's camp at night and set fire to Beidi's granary.

In the middle of the night, the gates of Mohe city were opened wide. During the day, Yue led his men to fight out.

A few days later, another batch of secret reports arrived in the capital.

Hou Jingyuan threatened General Xi to leave Mohe, but the carriage was attacked on the road. General Xi's whereabouts were unknown, and his life and death were uncertain.

Qian Xueguo sent troops to the north and lined up at sea.

Dongying refused to pay tribute to the imperial capital, and begged the imperial capital to marry her as a princess.

Bai Shiyue and Song Yan defeated Beidi and captured Beidi Khan alive.

"Snapped!"

The chess piece falls.

"It's time for the first spring rain in the imperial capital." Shui Rong laughed softly, "The answer I want is almost found."

"The price is too high." Lin Mo's face was expressionless, and his fingers were painfully pulled in his sleeves.

Ever since he heard that Dongying begged the princess to marry him, he has been in a bad state.Xi He regarded him as an enemy, but Bai Shiyue ignored him and broke off a bare branch to see him off: "Old General Xi, you are a little impatient, but you have a good nature. Tell me carefully." ?”

Lin Mo raised her eyebrows: "How does Uncle feel that I feel guilty now?"

Shui Rong listened to it and wanted to laugh.When did you hear Jing Yuanhou apologize?Who should feel sorry for such a heartless person?That's unless it's raining red.At least for the past few days, he saw that Shui Rong was eating well and sleeping well, and he didn't look emotionally unstable at all.Shui Rong also asked, but Lin Mo only replied: "Even if Hua Tuo is alive, it will only be a month or two." Shui Rong smiled and said: "Not necessarily, there is Mr. Liu, who is called a doctor Find it incredible?"

Lin Mo's smile stopped: "I just received the letter. It was sent by Zhongyun one and a half months ago. Fortunately, I haven't left yet, so I won't have to go all the way to save the letter from thousands of miles away—Brother Liu is gone."

No one can beat God.

Shui Rong didn't speak.He knew that Lin Mo still had a few picture albums in his bag, which he had spent a lot of time tracing—Jing Yuanhou didn't have much interest in calligraphy and painting, but he would draw a few strokes when he had time, even if the strokes were not sophisticated enough, The allusions and humanities of the mountains and rivers are recorded in detail, all because of Liu Xiangru's entrustment. When they left Beijing, he was writing the genealogy of mountains and rivers.

The Holy One urgently summoned Hou Jingyuan to return to Beijing.

Some people commented, no wonder the girl from the Lin family can be a princess.

It turned out to be the day to prepare for Japan.
