Bright moon out of Tianshan

Three days later, the two countries finally reached a final agreement and withdrew their troops together.

The first group of people from the Eastern Qi Dynasty who set out to conquer Zhao State returned under the leadership of Gao Huai.Jinling Stone City is in sight, with big grimaces protruding from the solemn and heavy city wall, watching the boats coming and going on the river indifferently.The flags were flying on the city, and the soldiers of the Eastern Qi Dynasty were guarding it in rows with bright armor.

Gao Huai got off the boat and looked around, the mountains outside the city were still cloudy and the river was still flowing.He looked down at Xiao Jian on the stretcher beside him, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jian, do you know? We're back in Jinling, we're home."

Xiao Jian seemed to feel his words and the atmosphere of his hometown, his eyelashes moved slightly, and then fell into a deep sleep, soundlessly.Two years ago, the two went out together, fresh clothes and horses, young and heroic.Now they are finally back together again, but things are different, and their moods are very different.

Gao Huai stared at Xiao Jian and let out a long sigh.

The soldiers and horses led by Wei Mingzhen can be regarded as having strict military discipline. They did not destroy the imperial palaces and ancestral temples of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, nor did they disturb the people.It's a pity that Emperor Xuwen has been militaristic in recent years. Eastern Qi is a big country, and the treasury is not abundant.Gao Huai seized the treasury of Zhao State, so it is not too bad. The industry has not been disturbed by the flames of war.He was overjoyed in his heart, entered the Bieye, and the subordinates of the Fifth Hall guarding the Bieye were both surprised and happy when they saw the return of the Second Hall Master. He was so happy that Hall Master Lin was gentle and beautiful. Things are not easy to explain.

When Lin Zaichun rushed to his medicine garden, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he almost passed out.

Now there are no herbs left in the garden, only an empty white field.

He stood there blankly for a while, then sat down on a rock by the ground. Several subordinates surrounded him, and Lin Zaichun murmured, "Where are my herbs? Where are my herbs? Help, what should I do?"

One of the subordinates accompanied him carefully and said: "The second hall master, the medicinal herbs disappeared overnight, and I don't know if they were stolen by some thief. Presumably he is also an expert, knowing that our medicinal herbs are valuable, so he dug them up and sold them." Yes. It’s also my fault that my subordinates didn’t know that there were people who would use medicinal herbs, and as a result, the defense of this place was neglected, so I ask the Second Hall Master to punish me.”

Lin Zaichun sighed: "How can even some medicinal herbs be stolen? What's the use of punishing you? You go, let me be quiet for a while."

A few people retreated listlessly, Lin Zaichun always felt that things were weird, resting his jaw on his hands, he thought hard about where the herb had gone.After much deliberation, he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he planned to go back to the major pharmacies in Jinling City to collect medicinal materials, and use whatever they got.

Before he stood up, he heard a faint voice behind him asking: "What is Ah Chun thinking?"

Lin Zaichun's whole body stiffened immediately, and he sat still. After a while, he said slowly, "How do you know I'm here at Liting Bieye?"

Behind him, Shi You stood with his back to him, and his voice was very aggrieved and helpless: "Since I went to Youzhou, I didn't follow you to Taiyuan, but came here directly to take care of your medicinal herbs quietly. I know they It is your darling, but your lazy subordinates just refuse to water your herbs well. I really couldn't see it, so I took people to transplant all the herbs away. In Zhuangzi, your sister-in-laws are watching. Ah Chun, your sister-in-laws miss you very much, but they have no affection for me, do you understand?"

Lin Zaichun felt cold again, but he tried not to shiver, and frowned, "I'm waiting to save someone. What's the matter if you remove it? What if you remove the herb to death? Let the woman How about raising it? Don't you think it's too cloudy?"

Hearing his bad tone, Shi You hurriedly said: "No, no, I put it in a big wooden box when I transplanted it, and my mother's family brought a lot of soil, and now they are all living well in the wooden box, and none of them died. Your sisters-in-law It sounds like it’s yours, and it’s been taken care of very carefully. It doesn’t seem to have any yin. Even if there is a little yin, it offsets my strong masculinity. You...won’t you go and have a look? "

The matter has come to this point, Lin Chunchun can't go there, but he said coldly: "It's fine in the past, you can move it back for me quickly. This medicine garden was selected by me with a lot of effort. The terrain is very good, the water veins and the soil quality They are also good, suitable for the growth of herbs. How can you compare with your Zhuangzi?"

He stood up slowly, turned to face Shi You, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and repeated again: "It's fine in the past, but what exactly do you want me to do in the past? Can you tell me clearly?"

Shi You nana said: "What do you think? It's just... your sisters-in-law miss you, but..."

Lin Zaichun looked at his back, smiled, and said solemnly: "I, Lin Zaichun...have never suffered from anyone, you have to think clearly."

This time it was Shi You's turn to tremble, and it took him a long time to hear him sigh softly: "You don't suffer if you don't suffer. I am so magnanimous, so I will suffer. Your sisters-in-law... really miss you."

The next day, the medicinal herb was transplanted back in a mighty way. In order to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of Xiao Jian, Lin Zaichun sent a letter to Gao Huai, asking him to send Xiao Jian to Liting Bieye.So Gao Huai hurriedly sent Xiao Jian over, and Xiu Mei and Ding Xiang were used to Xiao Jian, so they also followed him to take care of him.

After arriving on his own territory, Doctor Lin finally began to shine. Under his wonderful hands, Xiao Jian finally woke up after a few days, but he slept a lot every day and spent less time awake. catch a cold.But although it was still difficult to move, I was able to sit up slowly.Xiao Yao and Ding Wuxia came to see him, and it happened that he was awake, so he smiled happily at them.Xiao Yao leaned over and said, "Brother, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

Ding Wuxia said: "Tiantian loves crab roe buns, can he eat them now?"

Lin Zaichun confessed: "It's okay to eat less, and the main food is medicinal." Xiao Yao squeezed to Xiao Jian's side and said angrily: "Brother, I have no time to say that all the people who went to the imperial court this time have been conferred official posts. ..." Ding Wuxia suddenly reached out and pulled her clothes, Xiao Yao understood, stopped talking, but still had an angry look on her face.

Xiao Jian looked at his younger sister, smiled slightly, but said nothing.

The next day, Wei Young heard that Xiao Jian was back, and rushed over with the cook who made the crab roe buns and various snacks from Xue Yuan, and brought him a lot of new clothes.As soon as he entered the door, he saw the skinny Xiao Jian lying on the soft couch, and immediately burst into tears, he went up and hugged him: "My dear brother, he has been tortured into this state after fighting for two years. My sister heard about this new brother in Jinling. The emperor gave rewards to those who followed him, and my sister asked people to inquire about it, but you didn’t have any part in it. It’s unreasonable! I’m going to settle the score with the emperor!” She said that the wind is rain, and she got up and went back. Go to Jinling.

Xiao Jian raised his hand and grabbed the corner of her clothes, and said, "Sister, are you not satisfied that I can come back alive? Still want to argue? Don't go, let me look at you more, my sister is getting better and better. The more beautiful she is, do I have a brother-in-law now?"

Wei Young said angrily: "No!" She turned around and hugged him again, stretched out her hand to touch the scar on his face, the scar was on the right cheek near the temple, it was more than two inches long, not much could be seen from the front face, but Wei Young still Feeling extremely regretful, he sighed: "It's a good face, but now I have this scar, it makes me panic, alas!" Xiao Jian bowed his head and remained silent, but after a while he forced a smile, and said in a low voice: "I used to go out wearing that mask with a burn scar and frightened many people. Maybe God couldn't see it, so he just gave me a scar. Maybe it's retribution."

Wei Young noticed something was wrong, quickly looked at it carefully, and said seriously: "This scar...is very beautiful, very masculine! This shape...is like a phoenix! By the way, Tiantian, my Cuixiu Academy's new scar... A tattoo master came here, and he tattooed several girls with flowers and plants. Shall I ask him to cover up the scar on your face?"

Xiao Jian hurriedly said: "No, no, I don't want it! The tattoo is very painful, so please forgive me, why are you staring at my face all the time?"

But a few days later, Gao Huai brought Gao Che over to see him in the afternoon, but Xiao Jian made up his mind to deal with the scar on his face.Because Gao Che accidentally saw his scar again, his beautiful and delicate face was wrinkled into a ball, and he refused to come to him. No matter how Gao Huai coaxed him, it was useless, and finally he almost lost his temper at Gao Che.Gao Che flattened his mouth, and was immediately ready to cry.Xiao Jian was very frustrated, he covered his scar with his face covered, and said weakly: "Why are you losing your temper with him? What does he know? Forget it, forget it, stop talking."

Gao Huai had no choice but to have someone take Gao Che out to play. He walked slowly to Xiao Jian's side, sat down on the edge of the soft couch, and said, "You must have heard about my awarding my ministers, right?"

Xiao Jian hummed, indicating that he understood. Gao Huai looked at his face, but couldn't see anything, and continued: "It stands to reason, you should also accept the reward. But your illness is not getting better, you see you have been You are so thin, I don’t want you to work anymore. No matter what I can do in the future, I will do it, and you can rest. Of course, I will compensate you. Your brother-in-law has been promoted, and I will find him in the future. Opportunity to support, don't worry."

He then told Xiao Jian who was awarded what official position, and who got how much salary. Xiao Jian listened and dozed off.Gao Huai stretched out his hand to stroke his forehead hair, and said, "Why do you feel sleepy when I talk to you, just pretend you don't want to talk to me like that?"

Xiao Jian snorted impatiently, shrunk down, curled up into a ball, and fell into a drowsy sleep.He can't wake up for long every day, and Gao Huai is also very aware of his condition, but he is still a little disappointed, so he can only tuck the quilt for him, saying: "Then you go to sleep, I will call you after eating."

It was evening when Gao Huai took Gao Che to dinner, and Xiao Jianzi was on the soft couch and his attendants served him the medicinal food prepared by Lin Zaichun. Gao Huai saw that he was eating happily and lost his appetite, and said: "I have a meal today. Do you want to eat the fresh white prawns from Taihu Lake? Let me peel some for you?" After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and began to peel the prawns for him.He was so flattering, Xiao Jian gave him a surprised look, and finally he didn't go against his good intentions.

As soon as the meal was finished, Xiao Jian was supported by his attendants, and he went to wash and sleep. Gao Huai followed him in, and seeing that he had been put on the bed, he said, "Xiao Jian, don't rush to sleep just after eating. " He took off his coat while talking, sat down beside his bed, and said: "I have come here every night these days, but everything in our court has been pre-determined, and I don't have the ability to govern the country. As a result, you have fallen asleep every time I come, and you haven’t woken up when I leave. It’s nothing serious today, you came here earlier. I have to massage your joints every day, but Master Lin said, you can wake up, It's best to mobilize your internal breath and cooperate, don't go to bed so early in the future, wait for me to give you a massage before going to sleep, okay?"

Xiao Jian said: "I'm sleepy, what should I do if I don't sleep? Besides, I think I'm getting better soon, so you don't have to come here anymore."
