Record of ups and downs in troubled times

049 Adjutant

As expected, Mr. Lu kept his promise, and after a while, the escort officer was ordered to lead the military doctor to come, and carefully diagnosed and treated Ade.Of course Ade was fine, he was young and his body was always strong. After taking a dose of hot soup, he became much more energetic, the pain in his abdomen was not as severe as before, and he was alive again.

It's just that when the medical officer was about to leave, Ade's arm suddenly accidentally hit a protruding wooden nail on the prison car, and a lot of blood suddenly came out.Thanks to the fact that the wooden nail was not long, the medical officer felt that there was no serious problem, so he just wrapped a layer of gauze around Ade's arm.

"Master medical officer, can you give me some creative medicine?" Ade squinted at the medicine box beside the medical officer for a while, and begged bitterly: "Even if you don't use medicine, it's okay to give me more medicine." Okay!"

Has this kid lost his mind?How good is the wound medicine that can be used on prisoners in the military?Not to mention the pain in the wound from the sting, with this level of broken skin, even skin and flesh wounds are not ranked in the army, so it is a waste of medicine, isn't it?The medical officer tidied up the medicine box carefully, and smiled and scolded Ade: "How can you use wound medicine for your injury? You are an adult when you stand up, so you can't bear it? Should you be ashamed? I will put the soup and medicine in the kitchen There, just wait for him to boil it and send it over, you eat it well for a couple of days, and within two days you will be alive and kicking."

The escort officer next to him also nodded with a smile.

Ade smiled wryly, and when the medical officer and the escort officer were far away, he immediately took off the gauze from his arm.The medicine gauze stuck to his flesh, which made him grin his teeth.

"Son..."

Ade was holding the medicine gauze, as if he was holding something extremely valuable.

"Master Ade, Mr. Ade," suddenly a slender and weak woman called him in a low voice. Ade turned his head and saw that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in the prison car in front.The girl was lying on the wooden fence a little thicker than her wrist, her round face was squeezed until her nose and eyes were wrinkled, she was very cute.

In the line of prison cars, Mr. Fu's wooden cart was at the end, followed by two mule carts loaded with miscellaneous objects, and the front one held the three women.Apart from the people who bring food every day, these three women are the only ones who are closest to them, and they are both fallen in the world, so of course they become acquainted with each other day by day.

"Ok?"

Glancing at "Young Master of the Fu Family" who was sitting upright, Ade asked why the girl called him.

"Master Ade," the girl was about to cry out in embarrassment, "Can... can you please share some of the medicine yarn with us? Sister Luzhu hurt her leg yesterday, and she has not been well."

"This?" Ade glanced at the short piece of cotton gauze in his hand, and then at his pale young master. He felt a little embarrassed, but he was embarrassed to reject the woman so easily.

He knew Luzhu, and she was also one of the three women in the prison car in front.She doesn't like to talk very much, and when others are chatting, she just smiles quietly with her two wine dimples in her hands, she is a quiet and peaceful lady.But being caught in the army, how can she tolerate her ladylike style?As far as the injury on her leg is concerned, Ade can guess that it is probably the result of being scratched while accompanying the general in the army drinking for fun.

Is there any way, these thin and thin women can't escape, they can only make a compromise to serve the generals in the army, in exchange for a few cold meals.

The girl in the prison car in front was still crying: "Just now Xiaohong was taken away again... Sister Luzhu is stubborn and injured, what should I do?"

Luzhu tugged at the girl behind her, poked her head out and waved her hand to Ade with a smile, indicating that she didn't need it.

Girl: "What's the matter, Sister Luzhu! The medicine gauze that is one finger wide is also good, you..."

"Give it to them."

The young master who had been staying out of the matter opened his mouth.He slowly opened his eyes, his face was pale, and he sighed in a calm tone: "It won't work. You can give it to them."

"Young master, maybe it will work? The medicinal yarn has the effect of creating medicine anyway," Ade did not give up. "The cotton yarn in their army is different from... it is soaked in medicinal water. Maybe it really has a curative effect?" ?”

What he said is true, soldiers are often injured in the army, especially during wars, and there is no time to see a doctor and apply medicine to the soldiers one by one.So someone came up with this method, grinding the wound medicine into powder, taking the medicine to dissolve it, and soaking it with cotton gauze for a day.Take it out to dry on the second day, and apply it directly on the wound when necessary to solve the urgent need.

Even though Ade had never seen the injury on the young master's body, it was supposed to be the hole opened by the arrow bestowed by Feng Shuxing, but why did the young master refuse to let others know that he had an injury on his body?That's all, a little medicine gauze is a drop in the bucket, but why does the young master insist that it "doesn't work"?Ade was full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask further questions, so he stretched out the piece of gauze and handed it out.

The girl took it, thank you very much.

"Ade," the young master called him softly, but it sounded more vain than the previous few days, "Ade, if Yan returns to this place tonight, please wake me up, remember."

"How do you know that Mr. Tan will definitely come?"

The young man leaning on the fence smiled softly, and said tiredly, "I can't guess whether he will come or not. But if he doesn't come tonight, you and I will probably die in the south."

If that person doesn't come, I'm afraid he can't even hope to die in the southern border.If it's just death, it's not terrible. If you can't look at him again when you die, then it's really a loss to live until now.

The young master folded his arms, pulled his thin clothes back together, leaned against the fence and fell asleep faintly.

King Xiang's army rested for a while, then packed up and walked south for a few miles, and finally branched out to a small tributary of the Grand Canal in the south at dusk.The wealth and wealth of southern Xinjiang depend on this canal. If you go a little further from here, as long as you find a section of the river where you can sail, the army will go south much faster than the current land route. Moreover, the north is not good at water warfare. I am afraid that the pursuit is not used to marching on the water, so it is difficult to match the King Xiang's army.

The army stationed at the side of the tributary, only to sail back to the south by boat early tomorrow morning.

Ade boredly looked at the sparkling not far away. In the twilight, he saw a few young soldiers about to catch fish by the small river, bluffing, and it was very lively.

Looking back again, the young master has not woken up yet, but his complexion seems to have paled a lot.

A cloud of dust rose from the north wing of the army, and a group of more than a dozen cavalry galloped along with the rapid sound of horseshoes.The patrolling young general hurriedly flicked his horsewhip to meet him, and after seeing the face of the visitor, he immediately asked for instructions in a solemn voice: "General Zhengbei!"

The person who came also clasped his fists in return: "I'm returning from Xiayan, and I'm passing General Lu's camp!"

Patrol officer: "Little General Feng wants to see General Lu?"

Tan Yangui: "Yes, there is an official letter to convey it. Please trouble the young general to report to the camp for me, thank you."

The young general turned around and went back to the camp to report, and casually grabbed a barefoot soldier carrying two or three fish from the side to serve the adopted son of General Lu.Tan Yangui looked at the young general galloping away, and unintentionally looked down, only to see the soldier grinning and looking at him just now, as if he knew him well.

Ever since I came to King Xiang's army, I have always said what I should say and what I shouldn't say if I can. Everyone in the army thinks that he is withdrawn and dare not laugh and offend in front of him.This little soldier is strange.

"You," Tan Yan Guiqu pointed at himself with the horsewhip, "know me?"

"Isn't this the first time I've seen your true face!" This little soldier was a talkative guy, and before General Zhengbei could continue to ask, he started chattering, "But I've been to your army to find you many times. My brother is working in the escort battalion, and one of his prisoners wants to see you. Didn’t I run to your army many times? I originally said that you really wouldn’t come, look, isn’t this just to see the prisoner?”

Tan Yangui was surprised, and glanced back at the lieutenant general beside him, who lowered his head and muttered: "It's not someone important, so there's no..."

Tan Yangui: "Who?"

Xiao Bing was stunned for a moment, and asked in a daze, "You don't know?"

Tan Yangui frowned and asked again: "Who?"

When he frowned, he was the one who noticed it first.Almost as soon as he frowned, he hastily stretched out his hand to cover up the tip of his eyebrows, and then closed his eyes, pretending to be calm, sliding his fingers down the straight bridge of the nose, and pretending to be He rubbed the tip of his nose roughly.

After a long absence, he and that person really looked more and more like each other.

From this habitual frowning, to the seemingly patient and calm inner nature, which is actually irritable and irritable.It's really becoming more and more similar.

"I heard that he is the son of a high-ranking official named Fu in the capital, and I don't know anything else." Xiaobing was frightened by his anger, and hurriedly confessed, "Can we What do you know, people have specified that they want to see you, so there must be nothing to talk about with us bastards, right?"

Young master of the Fu family?Fu Xiyuan's son?What does it have to do with me?If he is really a person who has nothing to do with him as the lieutenant general said, it's fine if he doesn't see him.

Tan Yangui let out a nonchalant sigh, unable to arouse the slightest interest.

"The young master really wants to see you! If you want me to say, I'm imprisoned in a cage, I probably want you to let him out. The young master has spent enough of his old capital. Look, this finger pull, He is the one who gave it to my brother! It’s fine, tsk tsk!” Xiao Bing wiped his hands on the waistband of his trousers, reached into his cloth pocket and touched something out, “It’s locked in a wooden cart, and people exchange it for gold and silver. Eat, change medicine and drink, he is the only one, and he will see you at all costs! Isn't it because I have no choice but to forgive you..."

What was placed in his hand was a very ordinary emerald jade ring finger.

Tan Yangui glanced at it, thinking he had seen this thing before.

Seeing Tan Yangui staring at the wrench with displeasure on his face, the deputy general came up to please him and threw the horsewhip at the soldier's face. The general will make a move ahead of time!"

When the whip was about to be thrown out, Tan Yangui raised his hand subconsciously to stop it, not wanting the whip to be hard to stop, and hit his outstretched arm with a muffled sound.Although the winter clothes were thicker, the lieutenant general struck fiercely, and there was still a burning pain in his arm, which almost made Tan Yangui feel that he was being tortured.

Isn't it?Although it was his wish to be on the battlefield, wouldn't it be like being tortured if he stayed in King Xiang's army?

Enduring the pain, he retracted his arm, and continued to ask the soldier calmly, "What does a prisoner look like?"

Xiao Bing felt lingering in his heart, and stepped back two feet before timidly replying: "It's nothing different... Aren't all the sons and brothers from the capital city have fair faces, thin skin and tender flesh? But Fu Xiao The young master is more arrogant, he doesn't really like talking to people."

Tan Yangui nodded.

In the camp in the distance, the cavalry who had just entered the camp to report were riding their horses towards this place.

"You go to meet General Lu," Tan Yangui suddenly turned his horse's head and ordered to the adjutant, "deliver this document. I have informed Mr. Lu about the shipbuilding in advance, and he will explain it clearly to the general for you."

The adjutant hurriedly asked, "Then where are you going?"

Tan Yangui ignored him, and turned to the barefoot soldier: "Is there a medical officer in this camp?"

"Are you going to see Master Fu?!" The adjutant forgot his identity for a moment, and dared to stop Tan Yan before returning to his horse, "Is this piece of writing more important to General Feng than Fu Gou's son?! "

Where am I going, what does it matter to you?This thought lingered in Tan Yangui's mind, but he didn't say it impulsively.He has worked with this adjutant who was clearly sent by others to monitor him for a long time, and he already knows how to deal with him.Seeing the adjutant offside at this moment, he was amused in his heart, but his face became more and more peaceful.

Tan Yangui raised his arm and made a painful gesture: "Thanks to the adjutant, the pain in the lower arm is unbearable. Forget it, I will deliver this disc, and I can also ask the general for instructions. If the lower arm It's useless... how about borrowing your adjutant to use it?"
