Chapter 73 The Old General Runs Away
Chapter 73 The old general leaves
Tiezhu's father was helped by his brother, and he could walk by himself. Her wife was carrying a bamboo basket on her back and supporting him. She had to continue walking forward. Xiao Lan took them to the sweet potato field. The hunters and the picking team went on, and soon dug out the sweet potatoes left in the sweet potato field and put them in the bamboo basket.
Xiao Lan planned to continue to take them to the last two traps to harvest, and then walk back after setting up the traps.
Xiao Lan asked the picking team to pick some herbs that can be sold for money. She also found some herbs she needed and had to make some life-saving pills. The white tiger blood has not come in handy yet and cannot be left in the space and forgotten.
The wild game harvested in several traps was also quite good. Although it was not as much as the two teams yesterday, they were already surprised today.
When good luck came to them, they couldn't believe it, but fortunately they were both captured by prey and mountain goods.
In Kyoto, the General's Mansion of Zhenguo.
"General Su, the old general asked me to give you this!" A man in black handed the secret letter in his hand to the young general in front of him.
As a military general, Su Lie in front of the man in black is the son of Su Ding, the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Su Ding and Xiao Pingyang are the two pillars of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When fighting against the enemy country, Su Ding died in battle, Xiao Pingyang's son and daughter-in-law died in battle, and Su Ding had only Su Lie.
Xiao Pingyang was left with only the lonely man, and even the only granddaughter in his last bloodline disappeared.
Su Lie stepped forward to avenge his father, and the enemy soldiers and generals retreated one after another. The Emperor of Great Zhou asked him to continue the title of General of the State.
As a young general, he was as tall as a pine tree. He was probably 1.9 meters tall. He was brave and good at fighting on the battlefield and had great strength. He was born and died for the Great Zhou Kingdom. After several battles, he was still injured at a young age.
The Great Zhou is now threatened by its neighbors in the north. The northern countries always want to occupy the cities of the Great Zhou to make up for the economic depression and natural disasters in their own country.
The northern army has been assembled, and Su Lie is going to go to war again next year. The old general is worried about him. So Ji Heng comes to see him. Ji Heng comes from the Divine Doctor Valley and has great methods. This time he comes to treat Su Lie's secret injuries.
"Su Lie, I'm going to go to the north, and suddenly there is news about my granddaughter. I'm going to go no matter whether it's true or not. I'm not sure if I can find Lan'er and Yu'er. It depends on this incident. Ji Heng has a medicine to cure secret injuries. You must cheer up as soon as possible. Da Zhou needs you!"
After reading the secret letter, he was extremely excited. Is there finally news? How have you been doing in the past few years?
He thought about something in his mind, subconsciously took Ji Heng's pill, put it in his mouth without any thought, and swallowed it.
Ji Heng was secretly shocked. He hadn't seen Su Lie for a long time. His aura is different from the high spirits he was when he was young. Now he looks lifeless, comparable to the old generals.
The old general's secret letter was turned into debris by him using candlelight, and the burned paper chips fell under his feet. His expression fluctuated. It seemed that the old general's letter really played a certain role.
Ji Heng saw that he had finished taking the medicine and left the general's mansion. Now he didn't know whether he could still pursue the uncle of the master and the old general.
At this time, the veteran general Xiao Pingyang was already sitting in the carriage, facing Shen Zhisheng, drinking tea and chatting.
"Zhisheng, I heard that you have seen the little lady who gave the white tiger. What does she look like?" Xiao Pingyang asked with a smile on his face.
"What do you look like? I really didn't pay much attention to this. I looked like an ordinary person. I was tall, had a black face, and my hair was simply tied up. I looked very neat and I wouldn't even look at it even if I threw it into the crowd. However, when I was interested in her, it was her who took the white tiger blood. Her clean and neat methods felt that they were even more skillful than my senior brother's methods. There were also the two snakes she caught, which were quite delicious." Shen Zhisheng said.
"Is there anyone else in her family?" Shen Zhisheng's focus was really different from that of ordinary people, and Xiao Pingyang asked about it again from her family.
"I heard from Manager Gu that she has a son, about six or seven years old, I have never seen him." Shen Zhisheng was surprised. The woman didn't look like the old general's granddaughter. I don't know why the old general ran so far for that woman.
"Okay, I'll go and identify it myself." Xiao Pingyang couldn't find any useful information from Shen Zhisheng's mouth. For a moment, Xiao Pingyang was a little excited and bored.
Xiao Lan took the prey from the last trap back, and on the way back, she caught a few small animals, which were rewards for Li Jiang.
Maybe in less than a month, the villagers will not be able to lead her team and can safely shuttle through the jungle. Her main thing is to live a leisurely life with her little ones at home. After the villagers are self-reliant and self-reliant, she will have to continue to stock up on more things. Now that there are so many people, it is really inconvenient to use space.
The two teams looked at Xiao Lan with so many things on her back, which were said to be rewarded by Li Jiang. Li Jiang only used the horses bought by Xiao Lan and the carriages built by Xiao Lan to send prey and mountain goods to Furong Town. They really couldn't figure it out.
When Xiao Lan saw everyone's eyes, she also understood what they thought, but she felt that the reward for Li Jiang was too high?
This is nothing difficult to imagine. Li Jiang and his disciples were responsible for escorting supplies. In a short period of time, other villages did not notice it. After a long time, the villagers promoted it to the outside world. Everyone knew that this carriage was a valuable wild game and mountain goods sent to Furong Street by Lijia Village. There was no guarantee that there were still people who had bad ideas.
When Xiao Lan returned, she had to focus on teaching Li Jiang’s self-defense skills to prepare for emergencies.
What's more, there is Dalin. This is the lifeblood of Mrs. Li, so she won't feel at ease with Dalin, and she will give Dalin some tips at night.
Only after ensuring their personal safety can we make money. If we can’t make money, it will be bad if we get injured.
Of course, the reward is calculated based on the risks of the work done. In the eyes of ordinary people, Li Jiang will be rewarded more, but including Li Jiang's son, and four disciples, and Li Jiang will also give some rewards to several disciples.
As a carpenter, Li Jiang has also seen the world. Of course, he knows that this errand is not very easy to do. It is similar to bodyguard escort, but there are still certain risks.
There are several villages near Lijia Village. Although they are a little far apart, there are not many intersections. Several wives in the village have married from other villages, and there are also women in the village who marry to other villages. As long as there are relatives, whenever there are changes in Lijia Village, the changes in several nearby villages will be spread all over the place.
So Xiao Lan is looking for someone with good character and certain strength. It is reasonable to give more compensation to the job of escorting materials.
