Chapter 16 Return to Camp
The heavy rain stopped in the early morning, the red sun rose from the east, and dewdrops were still hanging on the trees, flowers and plants in the mountains.
Outside Yueyang City, in the huge military camp, civilians often push grain chariots and weapons in and out.
Now the situation in Chu has basically stabilized. General Tu Qianchu is in Ezhou with his troops to confront the "Dongyue" troops. Because gunships and other weapons are still being vigorously built, they cannot be sent to Chu for a short time, which is a stalemate. Apart from the dispatch of food and grass in the military camp, there is not much to do.
In the small tent near Shuai Tiao, Zhongli Jiujiu got up early, came to the workbench, and prepared various medicines.
As the autumn rain came, the weather became much cooler, and the little beetle, which was cold and afraid of the heat, was also released, running around like a joy in the tent; the little sparrow might be upset, flying from time to time, holding the little beetle back in the bottle, and holding it with its claws and holding it down, and then letting it go with a look of Zhongli Jiujiu.
In his busy and leisure time, Zhongli Jiujiu occasionally looked outside the tent. Seeing that Xu Buling and Ning Yu had not come back, his eyes were obviously a little envious and jealous.
Two women and one man ran out to play all night, and Zhongli Jiujiu didn't have to think about what to do. She envied the stinky Taoist nun, who could spend the night with her husband; she was also surprised that the stinky Taoist nun dared to take her apprentice to spend the night with the man outside.
If she and Chuchu were lying side by side with each other, she would move by herself with her tail...
Zhongli Jiujiu shivered secretly. Such a bad and bold thing, just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed. I really don’t know how the shameless and stinky Taoist nun convinced Qingye…
If only Chuchu was so easy to fool...
Zhongli Jiujiu secretly glanced at the side and then quickly lowered her head.
Zhongli Chuchu was pounding medicine next to her, obviously a little absent-minded, and took the medicinal materials wrong several times.
Zhongli Jiujiu initially thought Chuchu was also thinking about Xu Buling and Da Ning, but after looking at it a few times, he felt Chuchu's expression was a bit abnormal. He hesitated, got up and sat next to Chuchu, and asked:
"Chuchu, why are you always distracted today? You don't want to make your qi and blood strong, and you need to use warm-hearted medicinal materials to nourish and regulate your health. Do you add so many ginseng and cordyceps to make him bleed with nosebleeds? "
"oh……"
Zhongli Chuchu came to her senses, looked down at the pounding medicine jar, quickly picked out the extra medicinal materials, and said softly:
"Nothing...well..."
I stammered for a few words, but stopped.
Zhongli Jiujiu realized something was wrong, sat closer, and said with concern:
"Chuchu, I am your master. Can you hide it from me if you have something? Did you go out with Xu Buling last night? What did he do to you? Did he kiss you or touch him? Tell your master, I'll go and deal with him."
Zhongli Chuchu shook her head, not knowing what to say.
Nanyue is different from the Central Plains. The mountain village is a small group, which is surrounded by thousands of barren and steep mountains to keep warm. The relationship is much closer than that of ordinary villages in the Central Plains. Moreover, even ordinary villages in the Central Plains are in common with each other.
Chuchu and Jiujiu both grew up in the Nanyue Mountain Village. Jiujiu's grandmother was the daughter of the old village leader, and his grandfather was the doctor who escaped from the Central Plains during the war. His parents practiced medical treatment and asked medicine in the village all their lives, and finally went to the mountains to collect herbs and had something to do. The young Jiujiu was also taken care of by the village.
When he was young, he received the favor of the elders of the village. Now that the master and the disciple are traveling around the world, they are still well developed outside. They can't just break off relations with the village, and they don't even care about the life and death of the elders in the past.
Zhongli Chuchu hesitated for a while and said softly:
"No. Yesterday... I went out with Xu Buling yesterday and met a few people from Nanyue, saying that we were catching the strong men, which made a big fuss."
Zhongli Jiujiu sat upright for a few minutes and recalled a little:
"Now we are fighting, we probably want to arrest the strong men. I remember that every village has to be sent out. My father is a doctor. Aunt Gui asked my father to hide in the mountains, so as not to be taken away by the government... Why, the court wants a lot of people this time?"
Zhongli Chuchu just heard some rumors in the market, and it was hard to say it directly, just shook her head:
"I don't know either. Xu Buling has someone to inquire about the news. When he comes back, you can ask him."
Zhongli Jiujiu felt something was wrong, but Chuchu seemed to be really unclear about the inside story, so she didn't ask any more questions and got up and walked out of the camp...
The dawn is just beginning to dew.
Xu Buling took his master and disciple off the pleasure boat and drove his horse back to the military camp.
Ning Yuhe and Ning Qingye rode together on a horse. Ning Yuhe sat in front with a smile on his face.
Ning Qingye frowned, and his face was still red at this time. From time to time, he raised his hand and twisted his master's waist, obviously not calming down.
However, the relationship between master and apprentice is obviously closer.
Thinking of the scene last night, Xu Buling still felt a little floating at this time.
Last night, he was pulled away by Qingye and refused to let him go. Naturally, he followed suit.
Although I didn't really do anything about Qingye, Qingye, who was so thin that his face was bullied Yuhe, was afraid to see and couldn't avoid being embarrassed and angry, and was indescribable.
Especially in the end, Qingye was also dizzy. Under Yuhe's instigation, he held it for him. The taste can only be understood but not expressed in words.
After doing ridiculous things together, they just like a letter of fame in the world, and they became a grasshopper on the bed. The little pressure in Ning Yuhe's heart naturally disappeared, and he did not shy away from men and women.
Ning Qingye was almost the same. She was sleeping with her quilt. What else could she be strange about? She started to ridicule the master directly on the bed.
After going out for a while, the three of them relieved their mental fatigue over the past month.
After Xu Buling returned to the military camp, he asked the master and apprentice to go to the camp to rest, went to the commander's tent alone, and handled the cumbersome affairs in the military camp.
Just as he walked to the near the handsome tent, he saw Zhongli Jiujiu paced back and forth in the handsome tent, folding his hands around his waist, and a little worried on his face. Nightingale was also standing in front of him, waiting.
Xu Buling tidied up his clothes a little and walked quickly to the front:
"Jiujiu? Nightingale, what's wrong?"
Zhongli Jiujiu raised her head and saw Xu Buling coming back. She quickly pulled Xu Buling's sleeve into the handsome tent, with a slightly aggrieved look:
"My husband, is there something wrong with Nanyue? I just heard Nightingale say that the mountain village was suppressed by the government. Our village is not a bandit village. Even if we fight, there are rules for every village to send many people. The government has no reason. Why should we send troops to suppress the village?..."
Xu Buling was not sure about the specific situation, so he naturally couldn't answer. He looked at the Nightingale in a blink of an eye:
"Nightingale, have you heard the news?"
Nightingale stood in front of her and nodded: "Last night, I sent people to the city to inquire about the three religions and other corpses. In recent days, many people have escaped from Nanyue. Under the guidance of Chen Han, the leader of Yueyang, they found people in a village in Feishuiling. According to him, Zhan Bao, the current leader of the Eighteen Villages in Feishuiling, got close to the government government in Nanyue and informed the government that it was the old village that was hiding the bandits in the rivers and lakes, which caused the old village to be surrounded and suppressed by the government. Except for those who were walking outside, the people who stayed in the village were basically arrested..."
"He's talking nonsense!"
When Zhongli Jiujiu heard this, she was furious and looked at Xu Buling in a blink of an eye:
"My husband, that Zhan Bao has never been a good person since he was a child. He bullied people everywhere in Shiba Village with his martial arts. He wanted to marry me before, but I have dealt with him. Our village is the head of Aunt Gui, and he has scolded him several times. It must be that Zhan Bao was holding a grudge and took the opportunity to frame him..."
Xu Buling frowned. Seeing that Jiujiu was very angry, he raised his hand to comfort her and told her to rest assured her.
There are eighteen mountain villages in Feishui Mountain, and there are only tens of thousands of people. Each village has only a few hundred people. Speaking of which, it is just a dispute between villages. Far away in a foreign country, Xu Buling could not just follow the wind and rain, and directly lead the troops to kill him. If it is just a dispute caused by catching the strong men, the threatening letter to the Nanyue court will basically be resolved.
Xu Buling comforted Jiujiu and continued to ask: "Apart from these, are there any other news?"
Nightingale nodded and said, "I went to ask Sister Qi Qi last night. Recently, there have been reports from spies from Nanyue that the South Vietnamese court is recruiting soldiers and horses, but the intention is unclear. Sister Qi Qi is also paying attention to this matter. There are also major cases of slaughtering all the villages in the world. It is said that it is indeed like the Crazy King Gu in front of Jiazi. Sister Qi Qi Qi said that if the recruitment of soldiers and horses in South Vietnam is to wait for an opportunity and threaten the rear of Chu, it should be treated solemnly. Let the young master take time to go back to the boat and discuss it with you in person."
