Shu Blossoms

Chapter 82 Persistent Youth
Liao Wennan thanked Han Shidi for his help, and said with a smile, "General Han's question is nothing but a gourd. If you want to understand it, you can ask the Zheng family girl when you return to Jiankang in the future."

Seeing his surprised look, Liao Wennan explained that he also learned about this method from Zheng Wei, "I know it but I don't know why, but recently there have been fewer seriously injured soldiers, but there are still a lot of people who are not effective. Great."

"General Han can ask her more in the future."

After Liao Wennan said with a smile, he continued busy with his work, ignoring him.

She was actually a little strange in her heart, but she was just a woman who had appeared by his father's side. Presumably, such a woman as General Han was indispensable. Why did she arouse the curiosity of this General Han.

"The carrier pigeon was sent back to Jiankang, and the letter was passed on to the underhand."

Han Shidi said softly.

Liao Wennan paused slightly, and the doubts in his heart were answered.

But she didn't explain much.

I'm afraid this can't be explained clearly.

Han Shidi looked at Liao Wennan's beautiful side face, and wanted to say that the carrier pigeon was used to send family letters, and his father left it to her because he valued her and regarded her as his family.

These thoughts came to his mouth, but he finally swallowed them back, turned and left.

Such a transparent girl must make decisions that are best for herself, so why should she say more.

In the afternoon of the same day, Han Shidi took the army to Zhongzhou.

The fighting there is simmering.

Originally, the main general stationed south of the Yellow River was Emperor Zhou's confidant Sun Xicheng. He was also a veteran. He followed the former emperor several times. When the latter emperor was the prefect, he followed him until he escorted Zhou emperor Ru Jiankang to the throne.

After Zhou Di was enthroned, he relied heavily on him. If it weren't for his prestige in the army, he would not be as good as Han Daoyuan, and he was afraid that Sun Xicheng, the general of Han Daoyuan, would also be able to move.

This time he was stationed on the bank of the Yellow River, and it was also the Zhou Emperor who favored him.

However, Adou really couldn't support the wall. When the Great Wei army attacked the four cities of Zhongzhou, the Yellow River began to freeze at night. At that time, the defenders of Great Zhou couldn't bear it and were quickly defeated. Sun Xicheng had the intention of retreating because of this.

Later, he did not accept the advice of the generals and soldiers to station Qingzhou in order to attack Jizhou, and insisted on leading the army back to Yangzhou. Along the way, he was lightly dressed and obeyed, discarding and burning countless materials, leaving warehouses in various places empty. Yanzhou and Zhongzhou were occupied one after another. It has also become a joke without a fight!
And this time Qingzhou was trapped, mostly because Sun Xicheng fled because of cowardice, which caused the chaos in Yanzhou.

In a fit of rage, Emperor Zhou ordered Sun Xicheng to be dismissed and imprisoned. Han Daoyuan hurried to Zhongzhou to support him, and he also sent Dongfucheng defenders to support him. This time, Xie Hui was the only one who did not send him, and he was only ordered to stand by in Jingzhou!

However, after Sun Xicheng's withdrawal, Xiao Chengyan defended the city alone behind the Wei army, and was greatly praised by Zhou Emperor.

No matter how difficult the situation in other prefectures was, Qingzhou City gradually became lively, and the displaced people slowly returned. The few slaves who survived, Zhao Yi also gave them a good record as he said at the beginning.

At the beginning of the Qingzhou City War, soldiers and civilians died a lot, and the army was in urgent need of replenishment. The cultivated land was also less people and more land. It was up to them to choose whether to join the army or cultivate land.

Liao Wennan also has more boys around him, a child named Sanping, who is said to be only two years younger than Liao Wennan.

This child was also a slave left by the gentry, and when Liao Wennan pulled him out of the ruins, he was dying.

He was seriously injured. The doctors in the city said that he would not survive, and Liao Wennan was not disappointed. After seeing too many people leaving in the past few months, her heart seemed to be a little harder.

But when she was about to leave, the child tried her best to open her eyes. Liao Wennan placed him in the corner, looked at him every day, brought him some rice water, and occasionally gave him a little bit of wound medicine. sprinkle on the wound.

Unexpectedly, the child survived tenaciously.

When Zhao Yi changed his nationality to him, Sanping refused, and only followed Liao Wennan.

Liao Wennan also looked at him with a helpless smile, "You're a clever kid. Your injuries will have to last for a few months. Even if you change your status in the past few months, you won't be able to live. Now that you've become my person, I naturally want to take care of you."

Sanping heard that Liao Wennan had left him, and lay there with a bright smile.

A few months later, when Sanping recovered, Liao Wennan sent him to the barracks, not to send him into the army, but to let him practice martial arts.

When they can't travel in the future, both of them are powerless, so what's the use of raising him by themselves?

As for her own martial arts, although it is necessary to learn some martial arts for self-protection, in the end, she has been pampered for decades, and she really can't force herself to work hard, so she has to force others.

She plans to ask Zhao Yi to help find two rangers for protection in the future. As for money, there is a fairly good income recently.

Two days ago, Zhao Yi invited his wife, Mrs. Xie, to accept Liao Wennan as her righteous daughter. Naturally, she was grateful for her help in the past few days, and said that Mrs. Xie felt that their mothers were destined.

But Liao Wennan refused again, this time still asking for silver taels.

Liao Wennan was in a good mood when she looked at her relatively abundant small treasury, and she also had the courage to leave Qingzhou to travel.

But Zheng Wei, who is far away in Jiankang, is in a good mood.

She begged the eldest princess for a long time, and finally after her injuries were almost healed, her grandfather and her father made peace together, and she was able to go out.

Although she was ordered by her mother to take Aro with her, she was able to go out to breathe.

She was going to see Liu Erlang and the others who were in Jing'er in Kyoto today, and she also wanted to go to Qixia Temple to find out the origin of that strange person named Ming.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the gate, she saw the young man who sold the horses who had caused her to be arrested.

The young man was overjoyed when he saw her sallow face, trotted to her, and said excitedly, "I'll be waiting for you!"

As he said that, he looked inside the gate of Zheng Mansion again, "Why hasn't your husband ever gone out these days, doesn't he plan to buy a horse?"

Thinking of this, the look on the young man's face became sad, "If your son doesn't buy a horse, what am I going to give you back the money?"

Zheng Wei thought of the young man's life experience that Brother A told him, and couldn't help but soften his heart and asked curiously, "You have been guarding in front of my house these days?"

"Yes! Yes!" The young man nodded again and again, "I have to sell the horse so that I can pay you back. Your five taels of silver really helped a lot, otherwise my grandmother might not be able to support it!"

"Grandmother said that it is not easy for you to save these silver taels as a servant. It is a righteousness to lend it to us. We have to find a way to pay you back!"

Zheng Wei was helpless and angry with this young man, I don't know whether to praise him for being innocent or call him stupid!
With the Zheng family's family background, there is no servant who can carry five taels of silver with them. Even if it is the daughter of the eldest princess, these silvers are her petty expenses for two months.

Not to mention the fact that the Zheng family itself is not strong, the eldest princess was even more pitiful when it came to dowry.

What is even more irritating is that the eldest princess, like Emperor Zhou, has inherited her grandfather's stingy housekeeping style, and it is absolutely right to give one less copper plate for the usual petty silver!
