The old horseman opened his mouth without front teeth and said with a smile: "This is the clerk in our store. The military master has not come to the store to drink for some time."
As he said this, the old horseman put some broken silver into the soldier's hand.
The soldier collected the money and suddenly smiled and said: "Oh, you guys in the store are fighting a war now. Be careful and don't let Long Chengen's spies sneak into the city."
The old horseman laughed and said: "With you guys guarding me, how is it possible?"
The defender waved his hand and let the carriage enter Yangcheng.
The dilapidated carriage made a rustling sound, and the wheels rolled over the khaki streets. The doors of the households on both sides were closed. Soldiers were everywhere on the street, and the atmosphere of war was everywhere.
The carriage was pulled to a liquor store, with an old carriage swinging wildly in the wind. The old horseman got down and led the horse slowly into the backyard.
The lean and wretched man in the car jumped out of the car and immediately entered a room in the backyard.
In the room, an old man in his 60s held a dry cigarette rod with his dry pine-like hands, and a gold wire cigarette bag hung on the cigarette rod.
The wrinkled lips were covered with a sparse short white beard. He puffed his lips slightly, and the flame of the pipe became brighter. As the flame dimmed again, the old man blew out a cloud of white smoke from his nose.
Through the smoke, a pair of sinister eyes watched the lean man walk in.
"Palace Master Gan."
The lean man was Shi Han who was delivering the letter for Shen Wanjin.
And this old man is none other than Gan Xin, the daughter of the Western Xia Dynasty.
"The original poster's order."
Shi Han respectfully presented the bamboo tube, the sealing mud on it was intact.
Gan Xin took the bamboo tube, and Shi Han immediately retreated to the wall and lowered his head without looking.
Gan Xin placed the bamboo tube on the table and slowly smoked the last few puffs of dry tobacco.
He raised his feet and tapped the pipe on the sole of his shoe. The ash fell out of the pipe and fell to the ground.
Hanging the tobacco stick on his waist, Gan Xin picked up the bamboo tube, opened it, and read the letter on it carefully.
After reading the secret letter, Gan Xin picked up the dry tobacco rod at his waist, crumpled the secret letter into a ball, slowly stuffed it into a pure gold pipe, and took out some shredded tobacco from the gold tobacco bag and stuffed it in.
He took out the fire stick and lit it on the shredded tobacco, and smoked it slowly.
When a puff of light smoke came out of his mouth, Gan Xin put away the Huozhezi.
"knew."
Gan Xin's voice was very gentle, just like the old man next door talking to the neighbor's child.
Shi Han then raised his head and bowed: "I'll take my leave, little one."
Gan Xin continued to smoke cigarettes, and Shi Han left the room.
...
Zhenguo Temple.
Zhang Qian and five other people lived in a newly built room. The sheets, quilts and toiletries were all sent from Jade Buddha Pass.
There is Xifeng City near Jade Buddha Pass, where you can buy everything.
Han Ziping and others arranged for soldiers to go to Xifeng City to purchase, and everything was quickly completed.
Zhang Qian, Wu Chuchu, and Dugu Jiali set up defenses on the mountain, preparing to fight Xixia.
Shi Le's army has already assembled in Yangcheng, and everyone knows that a big war will come at any time.
Bai Tingting and Wu Xiangyun continued to practice in the room, hoping to break through to the level of Emperor Wu.
in the room.
Bai Tingting lay on the camel hair mattress. Wu Xiangyun brought a glass bottle next to her, which contained white ointment.
"Husband, I brought medicine."
Wu Xiangyun handed the glass bottle to Long Chen.
This medicine was prepared by Su Yourong, and the prescription was written by Long Chen.
Boil the medicine into a paste, then add sesame oil to make it into a liquid.
"Husband, please use a gentler pressure later. You pressed me so hard that it hurt for several days."
Bai Tingting was wearing white pajamas, with a blue silk pillow underneath, holding the pillow with both hands.
Bai Tingting's cultivation speed was still too slow, so Long Chen had to continue to help her move her Qi.
Long Chen smiled and said: "To move qi, you need to stimulate the meridians. If the true qi travels in the meridians, it will definitely hurt."
"It's not like there's anything else inside, it just feels comfortable and won't hurt."
Bai Tingting tilted her head and lay on the pillow. When she heard what Long Chen said, she cursed in a sweet voice: "Damn eunuch, what did you say? Who said you can only feel comfortable? You are not me. How do you know if I am in pain?"
Wu Xiangyun chuckled and said, "That's right, you're not Tingting! How do you know if it hurts or not?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "This is not easy, just look at his expression."
"I see that Tingting's expression is pretty good every time, so there's nothing wrong with her."
Bai Tingting suddenly raised her leg, kicked Long Chen, and said softly: "I won't ignore you again."
Long Chen uncorked the bottle, sat on it, and said with a smile: "Then do you want to practice to achieve a breakthrough? If I don't let you move your Qi, how will you open up your meridians?"
The pajamas were taken off, and Long Chen slowly applied the ointment on his fair back, spreading it slowly and evenly.
Then follow the direction of the Ren and Du meridians and slowly press down from the head.
Long Chen tried his best to control his strength, but in order to open up his meridians, he still had to exert force in some places.
Bai Tingting grasped the pillow tightly with both hands, and beads of sweat broke out on her body.
"Husband... be gentle..."
Bai Tingting gritted her teeth and persisted. Wu Xiangyun saw that Bai Tingting was really in pain, and whispered from the side: "Husband, Tingting seems to be really hurting."
Long Chen said: "I know that this is the only way to improve your cultivation."
To circulate Qi for Bai Tingting, Long Chen himself also consumes a lot of energy.
The true energy must be condensed into the fingertips and penetrated through the skin without damaging Tingting's meridians. It must be controlled just right.
Half an hour later, when the Qi movement was over, Wu Xiangyun brought a towel to help Bai Tingting wipe it clean, and then brought some clothes to change into.
Long Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and drank a glass of hot water.
"Husband must be tired too."
Wu Xiangyun helped Bai Tingting get dressed and came over to help Long Chen squeeze his shoulders.
"It's okay, just take a rest."
Bai Tingting sat cross-legged on the bed, pinched her fingers, and slowly regulated her meridians.
Long Chen held the teacup in his hand and slowly drank the tea, admiring the way Bai Tingting was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Wu Xiangyun turned around and looked over, frowning slightly and said: "Husband...what are you looking at!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "It's not my fault, why did you only wear half of her clothes?"
Wu Xiangyun immediately picked up the quilt and covered Bai Tingting's legs to prevent her from catching a cold.
It’s cold in early spring and it’s easy to catch a cold.
"You guard Tingting here, and I'll go out to see how the defense is being deployed."
"good."
Long Chen stood up and left the room, while Wu Xiangyun was guarding Bai Tingting in the room.
When I walked out of the door, the cold wind blew on my face, making the sweat that had not completely dried get cold.
Long Chen walked down the mountain, where Dugu Jiali was directing the soldiers to set up the catapult.
"How do you set up a catapult on the mountainside?"
Long Chen felt it was a bit strange. Catapults were usually used to attack cities. They were set up on the mountainside to throw stones down the mountain?
Dugu Jiali said: "Yes, I moved the kerosene jars from Jade Buddha Pass here. When the Xixia army attacks, I will throw the kerosene jars down. The effect will definitely be good."
Long Chen stood on the catapult and calculated the distance, nodded and said: "Yes, if you throw it from this position, you can just hit the bottom of the mountain."
Dugu Jiali said: "I have installed catapults on all sides, which can attack the invading enemy forces from all directions."
Zhenguo Temple is a mountain. When Shile's army attacks, it is likely to be completely besieged.
Therefore, Dugu Jiali set up catapults on all sides and placed kerosene jars in the fortress to ensure that Shi Le had a good drink.
Ye Chang hurried over and said, "Sir, there is a situation."
Dugu Jiali immediately stopped, and Long Chen asked: "What's going on? Shi Le has started to send troops?"
Seeing how panicked Ye Chang was, it was probably Shi Le who was starting to leave.
Ye Chang shook his head and said, "No, Shi Le is still gathering troops in Yangcheng."
Dugu Jiali asked strangely: "What is that problem? Is it worth you being so panicked?"
