Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 631 The magnanimity of Astragalus

Gao Wushi looked at the wild fruits picked by Huang Zhiting, looked left and right one by one, and asked in amazement, "Miss Huang, what are these things? How did you know them?"

"The daughters of Guangxi Chieftain's Family are not like your Han ladies. Our Chieftain's position is hereditary. Sometimes there is no direct male in the family, and the daughter has to take over. So if the son understands, the daughter must also understand." Huang Zhiting He explained with a smile: "When marching and fighting in the mountains of Guangxi, sometimes the military rations are definitely not enough, so it is possible to find some wild fruits and vegetables to supplement the military rations. What if you say I don't know some wild fruits? Row?"

She happily took out several different wild fruits from the straw basket and showed them to Gao Wushi, and then introduced: "Look at these wild fruits, they are called Bufuna, Huangpiguo, Myrtle and Prickly Pear. , these fruits can not only be eaten, but also can be used as medicine, but this is complicated, and you don’t understand it.”

Gao Yushi said sincerely: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. The ancients did not deceive me. I have learned from you."

Seeing that he spoke so sincerely for the first time, Huang Zhiting couldn't help being very satisfied, her big beautiful eyes were smiling like crescent moons, but she immediately took out another straw basket and said to Gao Wushi: "That's right. , I see that you have been bitten badly by mosquitoes, and you may have blisters on the soles of your feet, just now I just picked some simple herbs, let me help... um, just chew it up and rub it on yourself. "

Gao Wushi looked at the herbs she mentioned, and sure enough he didn't know any of them, but although he attached great importance to medicine, he didn't intend to learn it, because in his impression, medicine is a very complicated knowledge, and it is definitely not just a few random questions You can get started, and if you have that time, you might as well try to cultivate more medical talents.

However, he became more and more grateful to Huang Zhiting, and said again: "I really bothered Miss Huang, I am very ashamed."

Huang Zhiting glanced at him and saw that he didn't seem to be mocking or perfunctory, so she was happy, but she said: "It's good that you know what to worry about. Although I know these things, I usually don't need to pick them myself... but you Don’t feel sorry for it, just take it as my reward for saving my life.”

Gao Wushi nodded and didn't say anything more, but he said in his heart: Although this Miss Huang has good temper and bad temper, she has a good heart. As far as she is in Guangxi, she is willing to help me a "little scholar" personally Picking fruits and herbs, it seems that she can't just think that she is interested in my so-called trifecta. If in the future... it's not that I can't help her, anyway, it won't do any harm to Daming.

He remained silent, and instead of eating wild fruits, he crushed the seemingly simple herbs according to Huang Zhiting's instructions, and almost wiped them all over himself.

At the beginning, Huang Zhiting was just giving him instructions on how to use the medicine, but then somehow, an idea popped into her head: This decent figure is quite nice, it is neither as strong as a bear nor as thin as a monkey.

Then suddenly woke up, and secretly spat: bah bah bah, what am I thinking, Grandpa Buluotuo forgive me.

In fact, their Huang family was obviously born as a Han general in the Song Dynasty, and Bu Luotuo might not be her grandfather...

After applying the medicine and eating enough wild fruits, Gao Wushi sighed and said, "Miss Huang, when can we get out of the mountains? I'm really not used to running around naked like this all day long."

Huang Zhiting couldn't help but give a "puchi" smile, and half-truthfully said: "I thought you were quite happy."

Gao Wushi was surprised and said: "How come? What's so happy about this?" He found that he couldn't keep up with Miss Huang's train of thought again.

Huang Zhiting didn't answer, but tilted her head to calculate, and said, "There is one good news and two bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"This..." Gao Wushi sighed: "In this situation, bad news is not surprising. Let's listen to the good news first."

Huang Zhiting smiled and said: "The good news is that if there are no accidents, we will probably be able to find the village tomorrow, and then maybe you can find a way to cover yourself with clothes."

"What about the bad news?"

"Bad news..." Huang Zhiting blinked: "First, we will enter the Bazhai area tomorrow, and there are almost all Yao villages there. It is estimated that it is difficult for you to meet Han people; second, the two of us are now without Even if you find Yaozhai, and they don’t plan to kill you alive, it’s probably hard for you to get clothes from them.”

When Gao Wushi heard about Yaozhai, he panicked immediately, and hurriedly said: "Yaozhai? That is too dangerous. They have just been suppressed by the imperial army. I am afraid that it is the time when I hate the Han people to the bone. I will go to that kind of place at this time. , Isn’t it delivering food to your door? Ms. Huang, why don’t we find a way around it.”

Huang Zhiting giggled: "So you are not only afraid of snakes, but Yao people are also afraid. I thought you scholars of the Han family were fearless."

Gao Wushi smiled wryly and said: "Miss Huang, don't be joking, you are a fool if you are not afraid of the sky and the earth. Isn't it good to live? How can ants be greedy for life?"

"Really?" Huang Zhiting showed a thoughtful look, thought for a while and said, "But I've heard a word called "tens of millions of people", and it doesn't seem to mean that."

"If you shrink back on your own, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go." Gao Wushi said with a wry smile: "This saying comes from "Mencius", and you can roughly understand it as: As long as there is righteousness, even if tens of thousands of people oppose it, I will go forward. "

"That's right, that's what it means. Why don't you listen to Mencius?" Huang Zhiting looked at him with wide eyes and said.

Gao Wushi sighed: "Miss Huang, Mencius has another sentence, I wonder if you have heard it?"

"Uh, what are you talking about?" Huang Zhiting asked with a guilty conscience.

Gao Wushi said: "Is it fate? Just accept its righteousness. That's why those who know their fate don't stand under a rock wall. Those who die after doing their best are righteous lives; those who shackle the dead are not righteous lives."

Huang Zhiting was dumbfounded, let out a dry laugh, and said inanely, "What... what does this mean?"

Gao Wushi smiled, as if teaching a student, and said gently: "This sentence is the origin of 'a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall'. So, Miss Huang, Mencius said, 'Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go ', that refers to the time when it is necessary to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, but the premise of sacrificing one's life for righteousness must first be "the place of righteousness"! Now, where is the righteousness in the place where the Yao people in Bazhai gather? It's just a life in vain. The so-called death is light Yu Hongmao, who is more important than Mount Tai, will die in vain, which is not the way of a gentleman, and I will not do it."

What he said was actually righteous.

When it comes to identifying herbs and medicines, high pragmatism is not enough for Huang Zhiting; when it comes to explaining scriptures, how can Huang Zhiting be a highly pragmatic opponent?
So as soon as Gao Wushi said these words, Huang Zhiting immediately knelt - oh, I was convinced, and immediately said: "You seem to make a lot of sense..."

Gao Wushi relaxed, but Huang Zhiting looked distressed and said hesitantly: "But if you don't go to Bazhai, it's not easy to go in other directions."

Gao Wushi was stunned immediately, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Huang Zhiting said: "If you don't go to Bazhai, you can only make a detour from the south or north, not to mention that this detour will take at least one or two hundred miles more. Even if you don't care about this, the detour is very troublesome. .”

Gao Wushi frowned and thought for a while, then said puzzledly: "Bazhai is near Binzhou in the south and Xincheng County in the north. One is ruled by officials from the imperial court, and the other is ruled by Chieftain Mo. They are both the territory of the Ming Dynasty. What's the trouble? ?”

"When you go south, the first thing you encounter is not Pennsylvania, but Nandanwei." Huang Zhiting shook her head and said, "Young Master Zhang, you may not know that the imperial court is in Guangxi, and the three guards who are closest to the left and right Liangjiang chieftains rule the land. From north to south are Qingyuanwei, Nandanwei and Nanningwei. Among them, the main task of Nanningwei is to deter us southern Guangxi chieftains, especially my Huang family; Qingyuanwei is to deter western Guangxi chieftains, especially Cen The family is the main one; but what about Nandanwei?
Before this war, its main task was to deter Bazhai, and in addition to deter Zhao's Sien Mansion and other places. At the same time, it also had to bear the responsibility of supporting Qingyuanwei or Nanningwei at any time... Think about it, it alone Wei has to be responsible for so many responsibilities, if he doesn't strengthen it, how can he do it?Therefore, the Nandan Guard is considered to be the most powerful guard in Guangxi's army. If there were not three guards in Guilin, I am afraid that Guilin's army may not be stronger than Nandan Guard. "

After she finished speaking, she gave a wry smile: "We don't know what the attitude of that high inspector is now. If the Nandan Guard has also dispatched to chase me and Cen Ling's troops, we will appear in Nandan at this time. Near Danwei... that's just like what you said, it's food delivery!"

Naturally, Gao Yushi is not afraid of Nandanwei, but he has only been in contact with Cen Ling and Huang Zhiting for a day or two, and he has already learned a lot about the inside story of the chieftains in Guangxi. Expose your identity so early?So Huang Zhiting's concern must be considered.

He thought for a while and asked: "Well, even if Nandanwei is not easy to go here, it shouldn't matter if you go to Xincheng County under the control of Mo's chieftain? I remember that Mo's is not counted among the Guangxi chieftains. Very strong, as long as you reveal your identity, Miss Huang, are you afraid that Mrs. Mo will send you back to Siming Mansion honestly?"

Huang Zhiting shook her head: "The Mo family's own strength is not very strong, but his family's foreign aid is not weak. His family's stability in Xincheng County depends on the support of the Cen family. Well...of course the court is also happy."

This was an unexpected situation. Gao Yushi asked: "The reason why the court is happy is that they don't want to face the Cen family directly, so it is beneficial for the court to have the Mo family as a buffer. So why does the Cen family support them?" ? Is it just because you need a buffer with the court?"

"Hey, it seems that you are really not bragging when you say that 'the benefit of pen and ink lies in politics'. This girl just said it casually, but you can see it all at once?" Huang Zhiting looked at Gao Yushi in surprise, Xindao: If he is really so powerful, my Siming Mansion really needs such a person, but I don't know how my father can keep him?if i...

She blushed, and hurriedly threw this bad idea out of her mind, and said in a disguised way: "But what you said is not complete, of course it's not your fault, there is a reason that outsiders will never know."

Gao Yushi pretended to hesitate: "Since outsiders will never know..."

"It doesn't hurt to tell you." Huang Zhiting now wants more and more to win this talented young master Zhang to work in her Siming Mansion, and she is very generous and authentic: "Do you know the Northern Dynasty of the Mo Family in Annan?"
