after being kidnapped by the general

Yuanli happily braved the night and rushed to the livestock farm.

When she first got "Postpartum Care of Sows", Yuanli wanted to practice the knowledge in the book.Finally, after waiting from spring to winter, he could be regarded as waiting for his chance.

Yuan Li had never delivered a sow's cubs before, so he was in the same mood as a stupid father standing at the door of the delivery room for the first time, curious and nervous.

The pigsty of the livestock farm has been cleaned according to Yuanli's previous orders.

The dirty things were cleaned up and disinfected as best they could with hot water.A new layer of clean straw was laid on the ground, candles were lit around, and the dim lights created a warm and safe environment, which would give the sows who are about to give birth a sense of comfort.

The pigsty is not built tall, because it is winter, and the short and dense pigsty can gather more temperature and prevent the pigs from getting cold and sick.

Yuan Li got into the pigsty, and saw the pregnant sow curled up in the corner uncomfortably, she didn't move when she saw the person coming in, she only rolled her eyes a few times, looking very weak.

None of the wounded soldiers who worked in pig farms had the conditions to raise pigs, and they didn't know how to deliver sows. Knowing that Yuanli was coming to show them, they selected a dozen people with good memories to talk to Yuanli. Learn how to help a sow calve.

The wounded soldiers looked more serious one by one, wishing they could squat beside Yuan Li and observe his every movement.

For them, raising pigs is their livelihood in the future, even Mr. Yuan can do it, how can they not?Is it possible that you will have to bother Mr. Yuan to do this kind of work every time in the future?

Yuan Li, who was actually delivering pigs for the first time, was very nervous. He went through the theoretical knowledge in his mind several times, then turned around and asked, "Are you ready for everything I want?"

Zhao Ying nodded quickly, untied a bag, and took out the contents one by one.

Sacks, towels, sharp knives.

Everything was cleaned, and the dagger was scalded with hot water for a long time, and it was still warm to the touch.

In fact, in addition to these, the book also mentions the need for disinfectant and iodine.

But because the hardware conditions can't keep up, Yuanli can only work harder on the cleanliness of the tools.

After checking everything, Yuanli nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Sows give birth mostly at night, so it should be soon."

While waiting for the sow to give birth, Yuanli went outside to get some air because she was too nervous.The snow was still falling at night, but it was much lighter tonight.

He took a few breaths of the cold winter air.

Take it easy, don't shake your hands.Yuanli, always remember that you are a professional.

After half an hour, the sow began to exert strength.

When a sow gives birth, the first piglet is the most difficult to give birth, and the sow can only rely on her own efforts. After the piglet is born, Yuan Li immediately holds the piglet with both hands and cleans the mouth and nose of the piglet. Mucus, which is to prevent the piglets from being suffocated by mucus.The mucus on the piglets also needs to be wiped off with sacks or towels to prevent the piglets from freezing in the cold winter nights.

The only place where technology is tested is the broken umbilical cord.After Yuanli carefully handled the first piglet, he gained experience and the speed of handling piglets became faster and faster.

After about an hour and a half, the sow passed out the afterbirth, and that was all.

Yuan Li followed the same pattern and prepared several other sows to give birth, and the wounded soldier also understood.After working for most of the night, Yuan Lire broke out in a head of sweat, and those who watched him work also broke out in a head of sweat.

After washing his hands, Yuanli asked the wounded soldiers, "Did you see clearly?"

The wounded soldiers nodded and said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, we have seen everything clearly."

After finishing speaking, they couldn't help admiring Yuanli and praised Yuanli several times.

Yuan Li was very general, and said with a calm smile: "During this period, there will always be sows reaching the due date, you can try it yourself. I will also watch at the pig farm these days, if you don't understand Come and find me."

The wounded soldiers nodded gratefully.

On the second day, Yuanli woke up early to see the piglet he personally delivered last night.

The three sows gave birth to a total of 32 piglets.Eleven of them are sows and 21 are boars.

This ratio can tell the gold of the sow at a glance.

But Boar Yuanli also likes it very much.

Yuan Li looked at these boars with gratified eyes, already thinking about how to castrate them a month later.

In the next ten days or so, [-] sows arrived one after another on their due dates.

The candles in the pig farm were lit night after night, and soon, the weak cries of the piglets spread throughout the pig farm.

But not everything went well, because the weather was so cold that some piglets would freeze to death just one day after birth.Others were even more outrageous, being eaten alive by sows.

This is a pity for the wounded soldiers in the pig farm, and I watched it more closely day and night, for fear that some piglet would disappear again.Under such circumstances, the wounded soldiers quickly adapted to the various emergencies of the sows and piglets, and they did better than Yuanli imagined.

On December [-]th, Yuan Li was inspecting the pig farm, and when he was smiling at the white and tender little piglets, he got a piece of news - there was a change among the Baimi prisoners.

Some prisoners made trouble and killed people, and some prisoners wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape.

Yuan Li frowned, and immediately sent his own soldiers to suppress it, and he followed to see it.

After arriving at the place, the guards had surrounded the entire site.But compared with Bai Mizhong's [-] captives, [-] cavalry seemed too thin. Yuan Li was afraid that it would not be enough, so he ordered [-] soldiers stationed in Ji County.

The rioters were dozens of young people who suddenly jumped up. They didn't know when they hid a stone and carried it with them, and they killed dozens of prisoners in an instant.

Yuan Li asked the soldiers to hold these people in front of his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Who appointed you to do this kind of thing?"

These days, Yuanli only let Bai Mizhong do some road construction work, and there is no shortage of food, drink and shelter for them.It can be said that with him, Bai Mizhong can live a more stable and peaceful life than before the rebellion, so until now, the captives are also very satisfied, and have never thought of making trouble.

Yuan Li couldn't believe it was such a coincidence that on the same day and at the same time, this group of people made a riot together and killed dozens of people, and even tried to escape in the chaos.

Dozens of young people lowered their heads and gritted their teeth, looking determined not to speak.Someone even spat at Yuanli fiercely.

The soldiers kicked these people to the ground violently, pulled them up again, and threatened, "Be respectful to your lord."

Yuanli looked calm, "I'll ask again, who ordered you to do such a thing?"

After asking this sentence, none of these people spoke.But some people were already scared, and their bodies began to shrink slightly.

Yuan Li smiled faintly, and said directly: "Come here."

Wu Kai and Wang Er stood up.

Yuan Li said: "Shoot them here and kill them on the spot."

The two clasped their fists together, and then stepped forward with a knife.

Seeing them coming over with their knives in hand, these people stared wide-eyed in horror. They didn't expect Yuan Li to kill them without asking a few questions!

Wu Kai and Wang Er didn't talk nonsense, and their actions were not sloppy, they beheaded the prisoners one by one.When the first head fell to the ground, the rest screamed and struggled, and even peed their pants in fear, making the soldiers who were pressing them frowned unbearably.

The [-] white rice crowd watching behind them were ordered to watch this scene, so as to make an example to others.

Although they were afraid, they were more angry at these troublemakers than they were afraid.

They are very satisfied with the days they have food, drink and clothes, but these people insist on making troubles. If they are involved and get angry, they really want to hate these people to death.

Yuan Li quietly watched the dozens of people who caused the trouble die under the knife one by one.

Finally, someone couldn't bear the threat of death, and shouted with tears all over his face: "It's Li Yan! It's Li Yan who made us kill people and make trouble. He said he can take us away and give us glory and wealth!"

Li Yan?

The unfamiliar name made Yuan Li frowned, and he asked again: "Who is Li Yan?"

"Li Yan..." It was Zhan Shaoning who was standing behind him with a pale face who answered, "Yuan Li, I know him."

Yuan Li turned to look at him, suddenly realized something, and his chest throbbed twice.

He quickly walked up to Zhan Shaoning, with a bit of sharpness on his face without a smile on his face, he said sharply, "Is Li Yan one of the fifty plays you brought to Youzhou?"

Zhan Shaoning had never seen Yuan Li so stern, he was a little flustered, his lips moved a few times, and he nodded vigorously, "That's right, it's one of the old parts I brought. But Yuan Li, you believe me, I never asked Li Yan to do this kind of thing. I don't need to stir up turmoil among them! Just ask which Li Yan they are, if they just have the same name and surname?"

"That Li Yan I know has no reason to do such a thing..."

Yuan Li's breathing became heavy, he turned his head to look at Zhao Ying, "Hurry back to the mansion."

Zhao Ying was taken aback, "Master?"

"Hurry back to the mansion," Yuan Li raised his voice and repeated, "Go and see where Xiao Ce is now!"

His expression at this time was so scary that Zhao Ying didn't dare to ask, so he turned around and ran back.Because he moved so fast, he almost slipped on the ground.

But within a few steps, he looked at the eastern sky in shock.

Yuan Li also sensed something was wrong, he raised his head, and the next moment his pupils constricted.

Thick black smoke billowed, sparks splashed with dust.

To the east there was a great fire.

That is the location of Chu Wangfu.

Not good.

Yuanli's eyelids twitched and twitched.

The next moment, a figure approached quickly from the side of the road.Yuan Li took a closer look, and it turned out that Lin Tian came on horseback in embarrassment.Lin Tian was covered in black and ash, his eyes lit up when he saw Yuan Li, and he said loudly: "My lord, it's not good, the backyard of the palace is on fire!"

In an instant, Yuanli felt that the dust had settled.

He took a deep breath and was about to walk over when another person rushed over from behind Lintian, it was Guo Lin who looked flustered.Guo Lin didn't even bother to see how other people were doing, he flew to Yuanli and knelt down, choked up and said: "My lord, the soap shop was burned, and it was the three craftsmen in our shop who started the fire. When I find them , they have disappeared, and their families have disappeared.”

Yuanli's Adam's apple rolled, and he wanted to say "say it again", but he didn't ask the words, but he knew that there was no need to ask any more.

He looked at the black smoke in the east and the panic tears on Guo Lin's face.Yuan Li couldn't tell how he felt at the moment, but he felt that he should be embarrassed.

After 18 years of heavy work, everything is in the palm of his hand, but today he turned a hard somersault.

The craftsman ran away, and the soap formula was naturally lost.

He closed his eyes and asked, "Is anyone hurt?"

Guo Lin's eyes became hot, "The wounded soldiers fighting the fire suffered some burns, but luckily no one died. It's just that the latest batch of soap was... burnt."

Yuan Li smiled wryly, "It's good that no one is injured or injured."

He didn't stay any longer, and immediately rushed back to Chu Palace to fight the fire with a thousand soldiers and five thousand infantry.

The palace of the Prince of Chu was already in disarray, and Liu Jixin, with a gray nose, was directing his servants to put out the fire. He was relieved when he saw Yuanli coming, and he ran over and said in a low voice, "My lord, Xiao Ce ran away!" gone."

Yuan Li paused: "I know."

Liu Jixin explained the reason to him in a few words.

The fire started from Xiao Ce's room. The people sent by Yuanli to watch Xiao Ce panicked when they saw the fire, and hurriedly notified Lin Tian. When Lin Tian reacted, Xiao Ce had disappeared, but the fire had become bigger.

The soldiers hurriedly found all the utensils that could hold water to save the water. The flames of the monstrous fire reflected on Yuan Li's face, illuminating the bewilderment, helplessness and anger in Yuan Li's eyes.

These things gradually settled down, condensing into a tough coldness.

Yuan Li can understand what Xiao Ce is thinking.

Chu Hechao beheaded the Xiongnu Shanyu, which means that there will be a few years of peace in the frontier, and Chu Hechao will return to Ji County.And once Chu Hechao came back, it would be even more difficult for Xiao Ce to play tricks.

So years ago, when everyone relaxed their vigilance, it was the easiest time for him to do it.

Xiao Ce caused a change in Baimizhong, attracting Yuanli and the army, took the opportunity to escape and caused a fire, and burned the soap shop to take away the craftsman who could make soap.

After Yuanli found out that he had escaped, he could not send troops to stop him, because the most important thing at this moment was to put out the fire.

The sky is dry and hot, if the Chu Palace cannot extinguish the fire, it may even burn down an entire street.

So Xiao Ce can escape openly.

Yuanli still underestimated him.

Under the firelight, the young man who had not yet set his crown lowered his eyes expressionlessly, and the flames cast bright and dark shadows on his face.

He thought that after breaking Xiao Ce's legs, as long as Xiao Ce lay quietly on the bed in the future, he could let Xiao Ce live.

But he forgot, people's hearts are unpredictable.

Xiao Ce is not willing to spend the rest of his life lying on the bed like this.

Yuan Li remembered what Liu Jixin had said to him, telling him to kill Xiao Ce.

he thought to himself.

am I wrong?

Did I cause this disaster because I didn't kill him early?

Yuanli stood silently.

The sparks flew to his hand, bringing a hot pain that almost felt nothing when it was touched.

Many people protected Yuanli behind them, fearing that the fire would spread to Yuanli.

Yuan Li raised his eyes and looked at the fiercely burning flames.

He thought, I'm not wrong.

I don't regret that I didn't choose to listen to Liu Jixin's words and kill him.

I just regret why, after sensing his danger, I just broke his legs instead of killing him.

Obviously.

Obviously, if I wanted to, there are many ways to kill him without showing anything.

Yuanli closed his eyes.

His breathing was a little short, and an unpleasant smell of burning filled his nostrils.

Outside Chu Palace, many people were also attracted by the fire.Because of Yuanli's killing of pigs and suppression of bandits, they loved Yuanli very much.After seeing such a big fire, he quickly took out the only wooden barrels and tubs left at home, and hurried over to put out the fire together.

The common people who had the honor to talk to Yuanli had the courage to comfort them: "Lord Inspector, let us help you put out the fire together, and it will be extinguished soon!"

Seeing that Lord Inspector was so young that he looked like a nephew at home, other common people also quickly interjected, "Yes, yes, a lot has been destroyed."

"Master Inspector, don't worry!"

Liu Jixin was also afraid of Yuanli's silence at the moment, so he said softly, "My lord, it's not your fault."

Yuan Li finally moved. He stepped forward without saying a word, picked up a wooden bucket and poured water on the fire.

Under the noisy sound, Yuanli acted calmly.

Yeah, it wasn't his fault.

There is nothing wrong with being kind.

But the mistake is that one should not be kind to disasters.

Dozens of people were crushed to death in the burned palace, soap shop, escaped craftsmen and white rice crowd, and dozens of people were executed.

It could have been without it.

But too much kindness will cause such consequences.

Yuan Li grasped the barrel tightly, his eyes dim.

He seems to want to understand something again.

Outside Ji County.

Chu Hechao is rushing to Ji County with hundreds of soldiers.

It was already dark.

On the way, they met a group of people who were also in a hurry.

Chu Hechao casually glanced at the pedestrians from the corner of his eye.

The pedestrians rode in four carriages, and guards rode around the horses.The look on the guard's face was vigilant and flustered, and he immediately lowered his head when he saw Chu Hechao and the others.

The carriages were tightly covered. When the carriage passed by Chu Hechao, Chu Hechao smelled a faint smell of medicine and a not-so-light burnt smell.

He retracted his eyes indifferently, and drove away carelessly.

Li Yan, the guard guarding the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat was already streaming down his forehead.

At this moment, Chu Hechao suddenly reined in his horse and turned to look at them, and said coldly, "Stop."

Li Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped with the carriage.

Chu Hechao led the horse and walked to the carriage again. The sound of the horse's hooves made the people in the carriage feel uneasy.Suddenly, a person popped out of the first carriage.This man was unshaven, with a thin but haggard face. He looked like he was recovering from a serious illness, "May I ask what's the matter?"

Chu Hechao looked at this man condescendingly, "Are you from Ji County?"

Xiao Ce's expression remained the same, "Yes."

"It's so late, the gates of the city should be sealed," Chu Hechao said flatly, "How did you get out?"

Cold sweat rose from Xiao Ce's back.

He didn't know Chu Hechao, but he saw clearly the power of Chu Hechao and the soldiers behind him, and he was sure that this was someone related to Chu Palace.He worked so hard to get to this point, so naturally he couldn't be arrested.

Fortunately, Xiao Ce already had a countermeasure. He took out a letter from his pocket and asked someone to hand it to Chu Hechao respectfully. It was Master Zhan who ordered me to do some urgent things."

Chu Hechao took the letter, looked at it casually with a black leather gloved hand, and smiled after reading it, "Zhan Shaoning is afraid that no one will use it, so I let you out with a broken leg." work?"

Xiao Ce was taken aback for a moment, wondering how he saw his broken leg, he became more vigilant, and dared not underestimate this person, and said modestly: "The villain's leg is broken, but his hand is not broken, and his brain is considered good." You can’t just eat and not work.”

Chu Hechao returned the letter to him casually, "Okay, I understand."

It seemed that he had no doubts anymore, Xiao Ce heaved a sigh of relief, and after Chu Hechao left, he lowered the curtain, wiped the sweat from his brow in the carriage, and when he started to rejoice, he suddenly heard Chu Hechao cool Authentic: "Come here."

Xiao Ce's heart skipped a beat.

The next moment, the general said: "Tie them up."

The sound of howling and begging for mercy came from the other several carriages that had been quiet all the time.

Chu Hechao sneered, and drove his horse slowly to the front.

Do you really think I am a fool?
