The first thousand and forty-four chapters, the powerful and powerful who hold together to keep warm
"Why were you afraid that the Demon Sect would come to deal with me before, so you had to travel day and night... Then now that you have returned to the Southern Dynasty, you don't even have to meet him. I know he is very busy, how busy he is. Are we still considered brothers?"
"What's the matter? What do you mean by asking you to send me a gift first? Let me practice quietly first. This is because I dislike my low cultivation level now. What is the second tiger of Qiyun Academy? I think he is a real tiger. I
It becomes a worm."
Early in the morning, in the governor's mansion of Geyang County, Shi Jian yelled at a Tiece Army sergeant with a fierce look on his face.
After both being generals, Shi Yan was originally more rugged than Lin Yi. When they were at Qiyun College, he and Lin Yi were both childish. Now many years have passed, although he and Lin Yi are about the same age.
But he looks much older.
"There was no way before. Lin Yi couldn't let the emperor transfer me to the frontier army or to your party. Now the emperor has handed over all military affairs to General Wei Rui. He is now a man who can dominate the sky. Why, let you
You came here to deliver the message and asked me to find a secret place to meditate first?"
"Lin Yi, he has even forgotten what kind of character I am, and wants me to find a quiet place to live in seclusion and meditate? Why don't you let me become a monk and just become a monk?"
"And what time is it now and what kind of practice should I do?"
Shi Yan yelled at the Tiece Army sergeant who had been standing respectfully and awkwardly. He felt a little annoyed, but looking at the other person's appearance, he also felt that there was no point in getting angry at him, so he waved his hand.
He said, "Just bring my words to Lin Yi, and take any gifts back to him as well."
"this……"
Originally, no matter how much Shi Qian yelled and cursed, the Tiece Army sergeant listened honestly and did not dare to reply. However, when he heard that Shi Qian was about to withdraw his courtesy, he was suddenly startled and said: "General Shi, you
If so, we will definitely try to bring it to General Lin, but you must accept this gift. Regarding military orders, we..."
"What's the order from the army? I'm not from the Tiece Army. It doesn't matter to me." Shi Yan snorted heavily and interrupted the Tiece Army sergeant.
"this…."
The Tiece Army sergeant raised his head and took a sneak peek at Shi Qian. He saw that although Shi Qian's words were vicious, the look on his face clearly had some room for change, so he did not force an argument and just said: "This is also what General Lin said.
Thank you very much, General Shi, please take a look at the gift first, not to mention that it is extremely difficult to carry this gift and the quantity is huge. It will take too much manpower and material resources to carry it back as a gift..."
"What is extremely difficult to transport and is extremely large in quantity?"
Shi Qian originally didn't want to embarrass the sergeant of the Tiece Army. He just couldn't see Lin Yi staying in a place like this and complaining. For a person with his temperament, he actually wanted to go to the frontier army to gain experience, so he
He was afraid that now that Lin Yi was in power and worried about his safety, he would turn into a rabbit in a nest. At this time, he was a little surprised when he heard the Tiece Army sergeant say this, "Let's take a look first.
Say it again."
"Then General Shi is coming with me."
The sergeant of the Tiece Army was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, "I have already said hello to the military before, and the convoy is now parked in the empty forage yard."
"Convoy?"
The doubts in Shi Yan's heart became more serious, "Why should we use a convoy to transport something? Moreover, when your convoy arrived in my Geyang County, I, as the county governor, didn't know anything about it."
"That's because this thing is indeed valuable, so we have made proper arrangements along the way. From the Dangxiang border to here, we will break up first and then gather again, trying to be as secretive as possible." The Tiece Army sergeant looked at Shi Qian.
, smiled.
He knew that if he said this, Shi Qian might be able to guess what he was giving.
"Could it be the rumored spirit ice?" Shi Yan was surprised when he thought of a possibility.
The sergeant of Tie Cejun looked at him without saying a word, and just nodded.
"it turns out….."
Seeing more than twenty horse-drawn carriages covered with black felt in the fodder yard, Shi Xian suddenly turned to stone.
He had also heard the rumor that Lin Yi discovered the Lingbing vein in Dangxiang before. At that time, the entire Southern Dynasty felt that Emperor Xiao Yan had really made a big mistake because of this incident, because just when Lin Yi said that he would use a lead cart
When the spirit ice was delivered to the Southern Dynasty military, the emperor's letter of revolt had already been issued.
Although no official mentioned this matter publicly, there was a lot of discussion in private. According to some sources, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the spiritual ice in this lead cart is quite astonishing. These more than 20 carriages
The spiritual ice is far beyond Shi Xian’s imagination.
"General Lin said when he arranged these things, General Shi, you will do your best to use these spiritual ices to practice."
The Tiece Army sergeant stood beside Shi Qian and said softly: "General Lin also asked me to tell General Shi that now he and some important figures in Jiange are not in the party, so there will be some problems with the production of this spiritual ice, but these spiritual ice
It should allow you to practice for a long time. The production of spiritual ice will not be a problem in the future. He will continue to send spiritual ice to you. The most important thing is that you should not stay in the governor's mansion now and find another place to meditate.
Practice.
"This...he still thinks that I am a worry for him, that my cultivation level is too low to hold him back." Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but uttered a curse word. The sergeant of the Tiece Army was a little nervous here.
When he got up, Shi Qian's eyes filled with tears, "This kind of help in times of need, such a big gesture, this is the real brother."
….
"Have you found out the origin?"
"The people arranged by the military should probably be related to the Chen family and Wei Rui."
"The Holy Spirit only handed over the general power to Wei Rui temporarily, and the Chen family has never made any decisions in Jiankang. They interfered too hard. Now it is time to let them understand that Jiankang is not the northern border, not what they want.
It’s a place that is whatever it is.”
In the early morning, most of the roofs in Jiankang City were covered with a thick layer of frost. A middle-aged official with a gloomy face stood at the window of a pavilion, looking at a row of low houses in the south of the imperial city.
The chimneys of the row of low houses emit smoke day and night, and the roofs of the low houses are always filled with white steam, rising with heat, and there is no frost.
That was the place where Jiankang Imperial Pharmacy made medicines and brewed them.
This middle-aged official was Situ Jijiu, who had just been promoted half a year ago, and the official in his fifties standing behind him and talking to him at this time, wearing a medical officer's robe, was the fifth shift official in charge of the Pharmacy Department.
, this Imperial Pharmacy Bureau is just a yamen under the Pharmacy Department.
After Emperor Xiao Yan secluded himself in Huxin Jingyuan, the entire power of Jiankang also quickly and quietly changed.
Some of the Zhongzhou Army and the Xiao family's affiliates quickly lost power, but most of the original dignitaries stayed together in this winter to keep warm and deal with the sudden appearance of the biggest enemies, the Chen family and Wei Rui.
Not long ago, the military arranged for a medical officer and two young practitioners to go to the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau in the south of the imperial city. Then, under the pretext of urgent military affairs, all the medicines from the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau and Pharmacy Department were sent to the medical officer first.
For the purpose of selection, even many outstanding medical officers in the Royal Pharmacy Department are under the command of that medical officer to refine and trial-produce medicines for him.
The medicine they requisitioned at this time was considered a rare item, and it was originally needed by the old Situ who had recently left office to offer wine.
The newly appointed Situ Jijiu was promoted by the old Situ Jijiu. In return, he naturally wanted to seize this medicine.
Situ Jijiu was in the third class and already held a high position in Jiankang. What's more, although seizing the medicine was a trivial matter, for all the nobles who gathered together for warmth, it was a big deal.
He dared to come forward because he could be sure of the support of the other powerful people. (To be continued)
