As for whether it's disgusting or not, Bai Shan doesn't know.

Man Bao said: "When I get the chance later, I must ask General Meng about it."

"Why not with Guo Zhao?"

"I'm not familiar with him, so it's hard to inquire." Man Bao said, "General Meng still has a connection with asking for medicine."

In the past two days, General Meng had sent people to purchase a batch of medicines made by her and Zhou Liru. He had personally experienced the efficacy of the medicines made by Zhou Man, so he was working hard to build a good relationship with them recently.

However, he only communicated with Zhou Man when buying medicine, and most of the time he communicated with Bai Shan, so he was more familiar with Bai Shan. General Meng, who was sitting in the restaurant opposite and watching the excitement, saw the two standing

If you are watching the excitement from outside the crowd, wave to them immediately.

As a result, when he raised his hand, he felt the stretch of the wound on his abdomen. He immediately did not dare to shake it. He slowly put down his hand and covered his stomach. He took a slow breath and asked the soldiers to go down and ask for help.

Well, although it's a little slow, it doesn't hurt your stomach.

Bai Shan glanced at Bai Erlang, Liu Huan and others who were still in the crowd, took Man Bao and turned around to go to the teahouse. For the first time, he did not stand with his friends, but looked at the children from another angle.

The excitement of friends.

It feels... quite special, not bad at all.

Man Bao also watched with great interest. After standing at the window and watching for a while, he sat on the table to drink tea and asked General Meng, "Don't you live in the Duhu Mansion? Is it okay to come out and watch General Guo's excitement?"

General Meng smiled and said: "Xizhou City is so big. Almost everyone knows about what happened yesterday. One person less than me is not a big deal, and one more than me is not much. General Guo is busy, so there must be no

Kong Guo asked me where I had been."

"But the wound on your stomach hasn't healed yet. Aren't you still going to lead troops to frighten Tibet? When will you be able to go to the battlefield?"

General Meng: "... Mr. Zhou, although you are an imperial physician, your experience in healing wounds is really not as rich as mine. How can you keep lying at home with this kind of trauma? The wound will only heal slowly."

He said: "With this kind of injury, you should walk outside more often, as long as it doesn't involve the wound and let it open."

If Man Bao hadn't been a doctor, he would have believed it, because he was so serious when he said this, so serious that it seemed like it was true.

Bai Shan couldn't help laughing and asked, "Where's General Guo? He went out to suppress bandits again?"

"Yes, I will go a little further this time and won't be back for probably three or four days."

Bai Shan straightened his face and said, "In this case, there is one thing that I can't wait for him to come back to ask. I can only ask General Meng."

General Meng was curious, "What's going on?"

"Does General Meng know about the grudge between General Guo and Liu Shangshu?"

General Meng: "That's it? Wouldn't it be better to ask Mr. Liu?"

Why are you asking him? It's not good to speak ill of someone behind their back, right?

Bai Shandao: "Liu Huan doesn't know, just because he doesn't know. General Guo has been sending things to our yard recently, but there are some bad rumors outside, so we find it strange that we don't know that General Guo is close to him.

Or..." The meaning is self-evident.

In fact, it is not surprising. They are all very sensitive to people's likes and dislikes. Whether General Guo is malicious or kind, they felt it the day they entered the city.

General Meng became confused.

Bai Shan lowered his voice and said: "General Meng, just say, originally we wanted to ask General Guo about this, but unfortunately, he happened to be out, otherwise we would have to ask General Guo himself.

"

"No," General Meng stopped him quickly: "If you ask someone in front of the master, not only will you not get the truth, but you may also really annoy the person."

Bai Shan said distressedly: "Yes, but we can't suffer it in vain, right? General Guo is sending gifts again, but the words spread outside are just a little unpleasant."

General Meng glanced at their guards.

Bai Shan paused and nodded to Daji.

Daji then led his people out and stood guard at the door. General Meng Xiao's personal soldiers also went out. He then said: "I don't know much. I just heard that Liu Shangshu couldn't understand General Guo's style."

"What style?"

General Meng had a look of embarrassment on his face. This was the first time he spoke ill of someone behind their back, but he was a little excited. However, he was still cautious. He didn't just say it like a bamboo tube, but tilted his head.

After thinking for a while, he said carefully: "General Guo is a bit... luxurious."

He laughed awkwardly and said: "It's understandable. After all, he is from the Guo family in Xuzhou. His family was wealthy when he was young. He suffered some hardships after the world was in chaos, so his daily expenses are more luxurious."

Thinking of the food and supplies he had spent in the Duhu Mansion during this period, General Meng felt uncomfortable all over. He said, "Liu Shangshu is on the contrary. He is frugal. Although the two have different styles, as long as they do not commit crimes or commit crimes, this kind of

It's just something I can't stand, but..."

He glanced at Liu Huan outside and said, "But Liu Huan's grandmother is General Guo's aunt, and the relationship between the two is quite close. Liu Shangshu couldn't help but give a few more words of advice. Over time, their relationship became less good.

alright."

General Meng paused, his voice became deeper, and he said softly: "There is one thing that I heard my father mention. One year, General Guo independently attacked Xue Yantuo's tribe with another army. It was autumn and winter at that time, and the snow was falling heavily.

Early in the morning, many soldiers froze to death. At that time, General Guo reported his death in action, but was reported by the supervisory army. The supervisory army believed that the Ministry of Revenue did not prepare enough cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers, which caused the freezing death and frostbite."

"But Liu Shangshu checked the records and believed that there should be no freezing deaths in the army. There were many wars at that time, the national treasury was severely consumed, and the Ministry of Household Affairs was very strict about armaments. But my father said that although the restrictions were very strict, they should be given

The household department will calculate it."

He lowered his voice and said: "For example, that year my father also sent troops, with the same number of troops as General Guo, and the same armaments. They also sent troops to fight Xue Yantuo, just with an east route and a west route. But our army has

No one died, because we fought with the Eastern Turks the previous year and won a lot of spoils. Not only was my father able to keep part of it for military supplies, but he was also able to give a lot to the soldiers for household expenses."

"All these are known to the Ministry of Household Affairs." General Meng Xiao said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs will not pursue such tacit matters, but will give them less when preparing armaments. And the army has some left over from the previous year.

The spoils of war can make up for this reduction, not to mention that the soldiers also have a lot of money. If they want to eat and wear such things, if the army is not prepared enough, they will buy cotton-padded clothes themselves if they have money, but..."

Bai Shan understood, "But General Guo didn't?"
