Rebirth of Weak - Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Off the edge




The fourth prince’s illness was very vicious. He had a high fever in one day and became confused. His lips were cracked, his face flushed, and he did not sweat.

He hasn't been a hindrance to everyone along the way, and he usually helps clumsily. He has a mild temper and has won everyone's love. Now that he is down, everyone is very worried. The crowd gathered around the bed and watched Duan Zeng frowning. Duan Zeng let go and said: "It's not a strange disease that the accumulation of food, coupled with exhaustion, and coldness into the body."

Shi Helin was puzzled: "The accumulation of food does not help us not eat greasy food."

Duan Zeng did not look at Shi Helin: "Um, when we were running in the wild some time ago, we often ate some rabbits, elk, etc..."

Shi Helin stared: "Why don't you bring me some back"

Duan Zeng said: "How to bring oily ones"

Shi Helin shook his head at the four princes: "If you get oily and catch the cold, you will die..."

Su Wanniang cried.

Duan Zeng waved his hand and said, "It's okay! I'll give him strong medicine!"

Shi Helin frowned: "The tiger and wolf medicine hurts its roots..." The two people discussed and wrote the prescription. Su Wanniang kept crying, and Shen Wen comforted her in a low voice: "It must be all right! Really!" She knew that Su Wanniang was very guilty. The four princes would not become ill if they did not follow her out.

Zhang Yunzheng said on the side: "Is it just greasy? When I was a child, I often ate too much during the Chinese New Year, so I gave him Huanglian!"

Duan Zeng angrily scolded Zhang Yunzheng: "If you don't understand medicine, don't slap your fingers here! Be careful, I'll give you a supplement!"

Zhang Yunzheng disdain: "Anyone who knows what's going on with medicine is almost dead..."

Duan Zeng was about to argue again, Shi Helin hurriedly stuffed the prescription into Zhang Yunzheng's hands: "Brother Lao, go grab the medicine!"

Zhang Yunzheng looked at the prescription in his hand: "Look! Isn't there Huanglian? It's just that. I used to eat more than this. Should I add more money?"

Shi Helin was scared and said: "Don't dare to add it casually!"

Duan Zeng said: "I have to go with him! Otherwise, he will be fooling me, and what happens is counted on me!"

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Cut! I don't know good people!" Before leaving, he winked at Shen Wen: Stop here!

The two went to grab the medicine together, Shi Helin stayed in the house, Shen Wen pulled Su Wanniang, Su Wanniang shook her head, and Shen Wen had to leave by herself.

When the medicine came, Su Wanniang went to boil the medicine, Duan Zeng gave the fourth prince a needle, and when the medicine was decocted, he poured it down on the fourth prince. Duan Zengshi Helin and Su Wanniang stayed overnight and day after day. In the afternoon of the next day, the fourth prince finally sweated and the fever subsided for most of the time. Duan Zeng signaled the pulse and said, "It's time to see you."

After listening to them, everyone relaxed. At night, Su Wanniang said that she would guard. Duan Zeng and Shi Helin slept outside, which was regarded as a caregiver.

The fourth prince felt very uncomfortable in the high fever, his chest was stuffed with cotton wool, his throat was burning with fire, and his headache even seemed to burst open with his eyes. His mind was full of bizarre pictures. For a while, Concubine Jiang was holding him to sing a rhyme to him, another was a dead body exposed by the roadside; another was Ding Naishi building blocks with him, and another was a dry field in the dark...

He seemed to faint from crying next to the coffin again, so uncomfortable that he didn’t want to live... Vaguely, he felt that someone wiped his face and hands, and whispered to him: "You will be fine, it’s okay, soon It will be better..."

He knew this was Su Wanniang, and he felt a little better. He thought that the pain of people really belonged to him, and no one could feel so uncomfortable for him. Since people have to bear all their pain, it also proves the loneliness in the essence. If he is dead now, and the sun, the moon, the mountains and the river are still there, maybe the people he knows will be sad for a while, but he will eventually be just a passerby in most of the lives. Probably only Ding Naishi and Su Wanniang were the ones who really wanted to be sad for him all his life. In his life, he doesn't ask for those vain things, he just hopes to live up to these two people...

The fourth prince woke up and opened his eyes to see the simple beams of the farmhouse, with spider webs hanging between the beams, and years of dust on the walls. He glanced around, there was an oil lamp on the table over there, and Su Wanniang was sewing a piece of cloth while sitting at the table.

Just after the high fever, the lips of the four princes burned a layer of skin, and he reluctantly said: "Don't...do it...take your eyes..."

Su Wanniang hurriedly raised her head and saw the fourth prince wake up, her eyes wet again. He got up and took the kettle from the charcoal basin, poured hot water into the cup, and sat down by the bed. The fourth prince stood up, took a few sips of water from the cup in Su Wanniang's hand, and lay down again. Su Wanniang asked in a low voice: "What do you think you want me to call the doctor?"

The fourth prince shook his head slightly: "It's okay, but my throat hurts..."

Su Wanniang is about to cry: "It scares me to death, what can you do if something goes wrong"

The four princes said with difficulty, "Take my corpse back to the imperial tomb...it won't be broken in winter...just say that I died there..."

Su Wanniang burst into tears: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can you die when you are so young!"

The fourth prince can no longer make a voice: "Don't cry...Don't cry..."

Su Wanniang wiped her tears: "Then don't talk nonsense! Say you are not dead..."

The fourth prince closed his eyes: "Okay...no nonsense...I'm not dead..."

When the four princes wake up again, it is already afternoon. There were people's deep whispers outside the house, and Duan Zengzheng was sitting on the side holding a book to read. Seeing that the four princes woke up, they got up and said: "I said you should wake up! Come and drink the medicine! It was Su Niangzi who made you fry, and Brother Wen forced her to go to bed and said that you were okay, just pretending to be sick to earn her. Tears."

The fourth prince smiled bitterly. Duan Zeng took out the medicine bowl warm in the water and said: "Just right." Come and help the fourth prince. The fourth prince took the bowl and drank the medicine in one breath, although it was so bitter. I wanted to vomit, but at this moment, I felt a very suitable feeling, which completely extinguished the dryness in my throat. He let out a sigh of relief, and said in a dumb voice with some embarrassment: "I'm so sick, is it a delay?"

Duan Zeng whispered: "I don't think. The uncle Yan is here today. I heard that we are not leaving. I am very happy. I have to talk to Xiaoge Wen. You can take care of it for a few days. You are suffering from a cold. Stop catching the cold, it won't be good to turn to typhoid."

The fourth prince nodded, and Duan Zeng folded a spare quilt, cushioned the fourth prince behind his back, let him sit firmly, and said: "I'll bring you some gruel. You haven't eaten for two days. Your body bones, in the future, you can eat a few chicken wings, venison and the like, you really have to eat less, you can’t overcome it."

As soon as Duan Zeng went out, Shi Helin came in, smiled and lowered his veins, nodded and said: "It's good to be young. If you have a fever, you will go to the cold."

The four princes only felt extremely tired, falling apart, tired from sitting, half lying down and weakly asking: "How many days will I be better?"

Shi Helin said: "It should be all right in twenty days. Don't be anxious. Go to the roots."

The fourth prince was very frightened, and felt that he was in trouble, and whispered to Shi Helin: "Go and tell Brother Wen, you can go first."

Shi Helin smiled: "How can you say something like this, everyone comes out together, and naturally they want to go back together."

Duan Zeng came in with a bowl of porridge. Hearing Shi Helin's words, he said, "Oh, that, I won't go back with you."

Shi Helin opened his eyes wide and said in a panic: "Why!"

Duan Zeng tried his best to act as irrelevant. He handed the porridge bowl to the fourth prince, and said casually: "A war is inevitable in three years. I have to make some preparations here. I told the third-ranked division that he gave me a few people. Build a medical hall here. Um... Brother Wen also said that a team of medical soldiers should be trained to treat the wounded on the battlefield."

Shi Helin's smile was completely gone, and she looked like she was about to cry: "Why are you so cruel that it's so cold here, I'm almost frozen to death..."

Duan Zeng didn't buy it and said, "Why do you want to stay? You have to go back to take care of Little Brother Su. He needs someone by his side. I am so old and I don't need you to take care of it!"

Shi Helin said in a crying voice: "Listen to me, I only recognize you as a son! You drove me away."

Duan Zeng was going crazy: "What do you mean by acknowledging my son and chasing you? I've been by your side, okay, can you teach me to treat my illness and save people, isn't I being used here?"

Shi Helin sat down next to the fourth prince’s bed with a bewildered look, whimpering a little: "I followed you, but you won't go back with me..."

Duan Zeng stomped and said: "Who asked you to follow! I didn't say I won't go back! You can wait for me in the capital! I will definitely go back in three years! Really!" The door opened and went out.

The fourth prince was at a loss when he was holding the bowl of porridge. Shi Helin took the bowl from the fourth prince and fed the porridge to the fourth prince with the spoon inside. While feeding, he shed tears and said: "When I picked him back , Just feed him every day. At that time, if I don’t feed him, he won’t eat anything..."

The fourth prince was treated as a child and was embarrassed, but seeing that Shi Helin looked pitiful, he had to open his mouth and drank the porridge. Shi Helin babbled: "You have to be nice to your parents. When you are old, your heart will be softened. I want the children to stay by..." In his sadness, he completely forgot that the four princes were the identity, that the mother of the four princes was dead, and his father was the emperor.

The four princes suddenly felt sad, and the son wanted to support but the relative was absent. His mother didn't even see it in the dream, and the father, even if he was alive, could not meet each other... His eyes turned red for a while. Just when both of them felt sad, Zhang Yunzheng opened the door and walked in. When he saw Shi Helin feeding the Fourth Prince's porridge, he was surprised and said: "What! You are so ill! Just now, Doctor Duan said you are all right."

The fourth prince was embarrassed to take the porridge bowl from Shi Helin and said, "I'll do it myself."

Shi Helin found a new confidant and wiped tears at Zhang Yunzheng and said: "My son said no to go back with me..." Since he recognized Duan Zeng as a son, he sometimes put "My son" on his mouth.

Zhang Yunzheng waved his hand carelessly and said: "I haven't been with my parents for a few days in the past few years. If my parents are as uncomfortable as you, they won't cry and break their eyes. But every time I go back to see them, they all Not yet blind..."

Shi Helin angrily said: "You unfilial son! Near Zhuzhechi, how can my son be good with you!" He said that, but he didn't cry.

"Oh! I know why you are so uncomfortable!" Zhang Yunzheng slapped his hands, Shi Helin was puzzled, and Zhang Yunzheng approached and said, "You should marry a lady!"

Shi Helin stared and cursed: "How old are you! Are your hairs all the same? You dare to come and say this to me if you don't have any relationship with you!"

The fourth prince wanted to laugh, but he coughed up. Shi Helin turned around and patted him on the back. Zhang Yunzheng raised his chin and said, "It's reasonable not to be young! Think about it."

Shi Helin shook his head and said: "I have never married a wife, just because the woman I marry is not good to my son. People say that the stepmother is vicious and I don't know what to do behind your back."

Zhang Yunzheng said in a puzzled way: "Duan Langzhong is older than me, who can do anything to him"

Shi Helin said, "But I still have a little brother Su to take care of."

Zhang Yunzheng looked at the sky: "Then I can't help it."

The four princes sighed: "The doctor is really a bodhisattva heart."

Shi Helin waved his hand hurriedly, "Don't blaspheme! I'm just a selfish person. I tell you, I have saved a lot of money for my son, so that I can marry him in the future. If I marry a woman, In terms of love points, there are no more than the children I raised since I was young. I would naturally want to leave more money to my children, but that woman would be willing to practice medicine for so many years. Those who want to dowry, those who want to murder relatives... are all for a word of money. My son is generous in nature and doesn't care about money, but I can't let my son suffer this grievance in the future."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Maybe you will have your own children."

Shi Helin shook his head and said, "I am getting older. If I want to have children, I have to marry a young woman. But that will not ruin anyone who wants to live with a half-old man. In case I can no longer have children, it will not delay her life. It's all guilt!"

The four princes looked at Shi Helin and felt that he was not older than his father, and thought of the thousands of women in the harem in their early twenties, and suddenly felt ashamed of his blood inheritance.

Zhang Yunzheng is gone: "Even if you are practicing for the next life."

Shi Helin smiled bitterly: "Maybe I owed my son in my previous life, and I have come to pay him back in this life." He sighed, "Just pay it back, I'm willing."

Zhang Yunzheng came up with an idea: "You should pay him more than you want. Let him owe you. In the next life, he can pay the debt. If the debt is cleared, he won't see it."

Shi Helin nodded: "Yes, yes!"

Zhang Yunzheng said triumphantly: "I know someone owes me, and how many lives have been taken to me!"

Shi Helin finally laughed: "You kid, you are not so stupid!"

Although the four princes did not say it, they thought so in their hearts: If Su Wanniang owes him, they can be together in the next life, but then they worry: What can he give Su Wanniang to make her still unsure for a few lifetimes.

Although Duan Zeng comforted the fourth prince and said that he did not delay things, in fact, Shen Wen did spend more time in the border due to the illness of the fourth prince. She knows about colds, saying that small is small and big is big. It is less than March, and there is also a leap March. The weather is still cold, and it is easy to get sick from illness. She doesn't dare to take the risk of walking. , We have to wait for the four princes to be fully raised.

Shen Wen couldn't leave for a while, and the one who came most was Yan.

Now in Yancheng, what is striking is the reorganization of the army of Ji Wenzhao and Shen Yi and Shen Jian, together with the recruitment of migrant workers for the construction of Yancheng. Yan followed Ji Wenzhao and others every day to find out where the army was, and dispersed in the middle. She and Zhang Ding went to the garrison village where Shen Wen was located.

Mr. Yan and Shen Wen and Zhang Yunzheng discussed the production of various weapons, the smelting of special metals, and even talked about how to use the gunpowder in firecrackers for weapons... Sometimes, Ji Wenzhao would come with Shen Yi, and several people repeatedly talked about the future. The deployment of the battle.

Although Shen Wen handed over his plans and weapons to the border customs, this is not a certainty after all, and there are many uncertain factors in it. Moreover, in the end, what kind of weapon and what kind of strategy still needs people to implement. So as we talked, Shen Wen became more guilty and worried: These are all her relatives, in case there is a long and two short...

Ji Wenzhao saw Shen Wen's thoughts, and said to Shen Wen unhappily: "Do you think that you are extraordinary, no one except you can do?"

Shen Wen pursed his mouth: "I hope to be foolproof..."

Ji Wenzhao laughed: "How can this kind of thing be thrilling and dangerous! It's best to walk on the edge of a cliff..."

Zhang Yunzheng rarely supported Shen Wen. Instead, he nodded in agreement with Shen Yi. Shen Yi said: "Little...brother, you have helped us a lot. You have given us so many new weapon designs. Don’t worry about the others. Up."

Shen Wen sighed: "In fact, new weapons can only be used for one battle. In the future, the design of these crossbow arrows will eventually be learned by the other party, and our side, in order to facilitate the rule, will always suppress the military and prosper..."

Ji Wenzhao frowned: "You mean, sooner or later, someone will come and hit us with these advanced weapons."

Shen Wen nodded, "The sword puller died under the sword. There is no end to the renewal of weapons. Once it starts, there is competition. If our emperor does not have the courage, we will not be able to take the lead in weapons in the future."

Shen Yi said: "If this war can be won, it may give peace to the border for decades."

Shen Wen said: "If you can really win, you must convince Hou Ye to retire."

None of the three men expressed any dissent this time.

Ji Wenzhao went to see the four princes with worry on his face. The four princes asked: "It is difficult to cultivate Ming"

Ji Wenzhao sat next to the bed of the Fourth Prince: "Sometimes, I also feel hopeless. The imperial court ordered the reduction of troops, and the Shen Jiajun had no source of troops. Bei Rong was at the time when the army was prosperous. Our army must rely on sharp weapons and fortifications. There is a chance to win, but..." He sighed.

The fourth prince asked inexplicably: "Is it possible to win?"

Ji Wenzhao slowly shook his head: "If our side wins, the weapons used will be imitated by the opponent sooner or later. Moreover, as the birds are doing their best to hide their bows, Little Brother Wen said, let Zhenbeihou please retreat after the war."

The four princes also frowned: Zhenbeihou retired, Shen Jiajun was slowly replaced by the court's army, and Shen Wen led the people out to sea. After more than ten or twenty years, Bei Rong Huqi came back and brought the powerful crossbows and gunpowder arrows they designed today... The situation was no more dangerous than it is now. At that time, the generals at the border were comparable to the current Shen family father and son. More loyal but there are foreigners like Shen Wen to help

The fourth prince asked: "She didn't explain the rescue method"

Ji Wenzhao reluctantly said: "It's a cliché! Saying that the emperor has no courage, will not let people study weapons."

The fourth prince said: "The third prince has always been fond of martial arts and attaches great importance to border defense. Maybe he can understand this hidden danger."

Ji Wenzhao nodded: "You go and tell your friend the Four Princes the truth, let him..." Ji Wenzhao shook his head again: "No! That would cause him trouble! The emperor's younger brother asked for more weapons research, this Is it ill-intentioned"

The fourth prince murmured: "Third...the prince may not be so...the fourth prince and him...have a good relationship...they go to school together..."

Ji Wenzhao waved his hand: "Once a person becomes an emperor, the first thing he thinks about is how to keep the throne. At that time, family fraternity and classmate friendship must give way to the grasp of power."

The fourth prince was repeatedly explained by Shen Wen about the corruption of imperial power along the way. He already understood the darkness of this system. He reluctantly said: "Then I...let the fourth prince..." He wanted to say "Sponsor you", but stopped again--- One’s own legs must always be "cured." If one day the third prince really becomes suspicious of him, wouldn’t the people he recommends also be implicated?

The two were silent for a while, and the fourth prince asked Ji Wenzhao: "Do you still want to be an official in the court?"

Ji Wenzhao shook his fist: "I'm going to promote the rule of law!"

To preach the rule of law to the highest power holders is simply deadly. The four princes said worriedly: "The rule of man and the rule of law cannot coexist. The framework of our power is indestructible from top to bottom, and the time is not ripe for it now."

Ji Wenzhao said fanatically: "Then I have to go too! The big man mustn't let the time go! Now that I know the crux of the matter, if I don't say a word and let it go, won't I become the same as the woman who let go! I scolded her to retreat, and I couldn’t avoid it! I must enter the court and speak out for the rule of law! It’s best to anger the emperor or other people and kill me, so that I can stay in history. Name, the first generation of advocacy for the rule of law..."

The four princes hurriedly said: "Xiuming can't say such obscure words! Three...The prince is hearty and will not kill Zhongliang, just tell him well and he will listen." Although he himself did not believe this.

But Ji Wenzhao was not very happy, his tone was heavy: "Even if the emperor listens, it's useless. There are many other emperors and official emperors. If you want to succeed, you must revise the code and cultivate talents for the rule of law, and then gradually reform the system. It is definitely not an overnight effort. It will take decades of hard work. There is an emperor who will be so steadfast that there are three thousand beauties in the harem, many relatives, and flattery. That woman's point is not bad, I see it clearly, I finally The end of the game must be a dead end. But in this way, I have to go this way, otherwise, how can I be worthy of being born in the world, I am the only one who can do this!" Ji Wenzhao is narcissistic Said tragically.

The four princes once again looked at Ji Wenzhao respectfully: "Xiu Ming's courage, no one in the world can match it." I don't want to do such a difficult thing!

Ji Wenzhao said to the four princes: "Thank you, you and I have been together day and night, and have become confidantes. I know you have no intention of being in court, otherwise, you should be an official with your talents."

The four princes were a little sad: "I don't have any talents. Do you remember the three wrongs in life as quoted by Little Brother Wen, who is poor in virtue but respectful, small intellect but big, small but heavy duty. All I can do is Don't make these mistakes."

Ji Wenzhao laughed: "It sounds like I am making these mistakes."

The four princes said hurriedly: "No, no, you should have both morals and wisdom, so you should make a difference."

Ji Wenzhao slapped the four princes on the shoulders: "Don't cheer me up. Ever since I met Little Brother Wen, I dare not claim to be No. 1 in the world anymore. If you think about wisdom, that woman's tricks are weird, I can't match it. Now the only thing that can beat her is courage! Women are born..." He made another machismo remark, and found some psychological balance for himself.

The four princes understood Ji Wenzhao's feelings very well, so he could be more comfortable by speaking ill of fear to Miss Shen Er.

Duan Zeng said he wanted to stay in Yancheng. Shi Helin felt that he had no experience in life at all, and he would be fooled for a while, so he took Duan Zeng to the city and accompanied Duan Zeng to find the location of the hospital. He rented a house for Duan Zengzhang, bought furniture, and personally bought him a small servant and a cook from the refugees... Anyway, let Duan Zengshi owe him a debt of favor, and firmly calculate Duan Zeng’s next life. Up.

The fourth prince was able to get out of bed after lying down for four days. Su Wanniang naturally took care of him every day and made thick leggings for him, so that the four princes put on them and turned into elephant legs. When the four princes were able to get out of the house, the two of them first took a walk outside the farmhouse and gradually took a few more steps. In order to increase physical strength, the fourth prince sometimes went out into the fields.

At the end of winter and early spring, the wild is desolate, but there is always a hint of spring in the vagueness. Su Wanniang accompanied the four princes to walk slowly on the hard ground. The four princes looked at the blue sky above the mountains not far away, and sighed with emotion for the beauty of life: "I really want to live here and not go back. Up."

Su Wanniang smiled and said, "It's too cold here, your legs can't stand it, so go to the south."

The four princes smiled and nodded to Su Wanniang and said, "Where you say to go, let's go."

Su Wanniang glanced at him: "It's nice to say something again."

The fourth prince said softly: "How can a good thing be the truth! I will go wherever you go in the future."

Su Wanniang lowered her head shyly: "I listen to you too."

The fourth prince said: "I still listen to you..."

Su Wanniang: "Listen to you..."

Two people were asking me to let me. The four princes saw movement in the light, turned their heads and saw a gray hare leaping quickly across the field. The four princes pointed to the rabbit in surprise and said, "Look! You! Look there!"

Su Wanniang looked up: "It's a rabbit! Just like you said!"

The fourth prince had tears in his eyes: "Really, just like I said, dreams come true! God treats me so much!"

Su Wanniang also sighed and said to the fourth prince: "This is a good sign, what you yearn for will come true!"

The four princes nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will go to that college first, and study hard. You don’t know, many people don’t want to share their private books with others. Old Master Yan has millions of books. I can’t miss it. I’d better copy it back. A few years later, your lady probably opened up the island, so we’ll go there to buy land and build a house..."

Su Wanniang said: "It must be built next to them."

The four princes said: "That's natural. We can plant bauhinia in the small courtyard, and we can also let Ding Nai serve a big garden. He said he likes to grow flowers. The neighbors keep cats and dogs..."

Su Wanniang laughed: "We have to raise them too!"

The four princes then nodded: "Yes, I have to raise them too, so we can play with their cats and dogs, and we often visit."

Su Wanniang raised her eyebrows and said, "How often do we go every day. Our yard is open. Miss and I are sisters. We need to see each other every day to be at ease."

The four princes had a sense of fear in Shen Wen, but he couldn’t say anything bad about Shen Wen to Su Wanniang, so he said: "Okay, you go to see your sister, I will find someone to play chess, but Xiu Ming wants to be an official in the court. ."

Su Wanniang said: "The young lady said, he will not end. We will stay here at that time, and if something happens to him, we will take him over."

The four princes are entangled: he hopes that Ji Wenzhao can play chess with him without being an official, but he also feels that if Ji Wenzhao stays in the middle of Korea for a longer time, it will be beneficial to the people of Jiangshan. It’s just that I can’t win.”

Su Wanniang covered her mouth and smiled: "Aren't you bragging, isn't it okay?"

The fourth prince shook his head and said, "No, so I won't be able to learn anything."

Su Wanniang asked: "Is it sad to lose?

The fourth prince sighed: "Sad! Sometimes I feel bored! But then, I feel that I haven't played a game in vain. It's not like I won, but my heart is empty."

Su Wanniang rolled her eyes: "It's so weird in the song, I don't play chess."

The fourth prince moved in his heart: "Where is your miss?"

Su Wanniang shook her head and said: "She has never been down, but she can kill her."

The four princes almost blurted out to make Su Wanniang beware of Shen Wen. She was too unfathomable, but when she said, she became: "She knows so much."

Su Wanniang said with pride: "Of course!"

The fourth prince was a little unwilling, and whispered: "Actually, I also know a lot."

Su Wanniang suddenly laughed when she heard the four princes, who were young and mature, showed such a childlike character, but she immediately lowered her head and said, "Of course."

The fourth prince was satisfied. Hearing the sound of horses' hoofs in the distance, Zhang Yunzheng and a few people whizzed past. Thinking that it was time to go back to eat, they walked back slowly with Su Wanniang.

Zhang Yunzheng was very upset when he saw the Fourth Prince and Su Wanniang walking and talking so close outside! He decided to pull Shen Wen out and walk like this.

Zhang Yunzheng got off the horse and went to the room where Yan Shizheng and Shen Wen were studying, knocked on the door, he went in, and after saluting with Yan Shi, he gave out the excuse he had thought of long ago: "Uncle Yan goes to the lamp market. , There is a small wood carving shop, and then help me give that little shopkeeper a dozen silver."

Yan's puzzled: "Why"

Zhang Yunzheng said: "No, it's just that I like it."

Shen Wen explained: "The silver he gave was returned, and he was not convinced."

Yan smiled: "Stupid boy, there are still people who rush to give money like this"

Zhang Yunzheng said: "You can do it for me, oh, what are you looking at"

Yan pointed to the sketch and said, "This is a kind of missile. The gunpowder in the firecracker is mixed with nails. This is the fuse. Just click it and throw it out."

Zhang Yunzheng watched for a long time and asked: "What is this shell made of?"

Yan said: "This is what we are talking about. She said it should be an iron shell, and I said that bamboo tubes can be used."

Shen Wen said: "Where is there a bamboo tube"

Zhang Yunzheng said: "It's okay to dig it out with wood."

Yan Shi said: "Yeah! Dig into two bowls with wood, and just buckle them." ... They discussed each picture one by one, but Yan did not leave until it was dark, and Zhang Yunzheng also failed to hold Shen Wen. Come out for a walk.

For the remaining ten days, the four princes and Su Wanniang were walking outside every day. When Zhang Yunzheng couldn't go out to ride a horse, he and Shen Wen and Yan were studying the mechanisms and structures of various weapons. He felt that it would be nice to lie on the same table with Shen Wen, and he would not follow the fourth prince.

When the four princes felt that they were completely healed, they kept urging Shen Wen on the road. Shen Yi and Shen Jian also said that Shen Wen should not stay long, and Shen Wen had to leave after three days.

The farewell banquet was held at noon the next day, so as not to pass the gate of Yancheng late, and Shen Jian and Ji Wenzhao Yan would not return overnight, which aroused people's suspicion. Both Shen Yi, Shen Jian and Ji Wenzhaoyan arrived in the village of the barracks, and Duan Zeng, who already had a residence in the city, naturally came to send Shi Helin.

Shen Yi brought wine, but Su Wanniang sitting next to Shen Wen firmly did not let Shen Wen touch it. Because Yan was "Uncle Yan" in front of Shen Yi, he sat beside Shen Jian very seriously, just like a quiet and honest young scholar.

During this period of time, the arrangements and plans have been carefully discussed and compared. Before the meeting, everyone just wanted to say something happy, especially Shi Helin's tearful expression, which needed people to be forgiven. Ji Wenzhao handed the letter to his wife and teacher Yan Jing to Shen Wen, and told her not to say much to Ji Yan. Shen Wen nodded and finished the letter.

Shen Yi toasted Zhang Yunzheng: "Little brother, I'll leave it to you when I go back this time!"

Zhang Yunzheng nodded and said, "Brother Shen, don't worry." The two had a drink, which was considered a complete reconciliation.

Shen Jian turned his eyes to stare at the Fourth Prince, and said: "Young Master Jiang..."

The four princes hurriedly smiled and said, "I will stay at home after I go back, and I will never leave indiscriminately."

Everyone drank and chatted, and when the sun slanted west, Shen Yi and others said goodbye.

Shi Helin was drunk, and took Duan Zeng's hand and cried: "My son...you go home earlier..."

Duan Zeng was not drunk because he was going to ride a horse. He just choked up and said, "Father... don't worry, wait for me in the capital."

Shi Helin continued to cry: "You can't get hurt! You can't do anything!..."

Duan Zeng looked at Zhang Yunzheng: "Hurry up and help my dad go to sleep!"

Zhang Yunzheng came over to give Shi Helin and said, "Go, let's ignore that brat..."

Shi Helin slapped Zhang Yunzheng's hand vigorously: "Don't speak ill of my son! My son is a genius doctor! Much better than you..." Zhang Yunzheng was forced to walk away.

Shen Yi and Shen Jian solemnly saluted Shen Wen and said at the same time, "Thank you."

A girl, the softest sister in the family, traveled thousands of miles during the famine years, and sent them a good strategy to resist the enemy, and took people to Beirong to nurture a future enemy for the Tugu Khan. This is the Shen family. Shen Yi and Shen Jian had to pay their respects even as elder brothers.

Although Shen Wen was wearing a peasant blouse, he still bowed his sleeves and bowed his knees. He also solemnly said: "Big brother, second brother, the border will be handed over to you, you must take care."

In front of Shen Yi, the Yan family could not get too close to Shen Wen. He only said logically when he saluted: "I will ask Miss to take good care of my sister so that she can live comfortably in the temple." Shen Wen nodded depressed.

Ji Wenzhao was half drunk and bowed with others, and said to the four princes: "We will see Gongzi Jiang in the academy in the future!"

The four princes reluctantly said: "Xiuming must be cherished! I will count on Xiu Ming to sponsor me in the future, to be my senior, and to play chess with me."

Ji Wenzhao laughed: "Don't worry! I won't forget it."

Zhang Yunzheng put Shi Helin into the room and lay down, and then came out. Zhang Ding and Yulan said goodbye happily, and leaned against him with their throats and twisted shoulders: "My son..."

Because he was about to leave, Zhang Yunzheng stopped scolding him, and said with a drooping face: "Don't make trouble, be smart, don't get hurt, otherwise, don't think about pretending to be a little girl when you go back, just pretend to be an ugly monster! "

Zhang Ding looked very touched and looked at Zhang Yunzheng slimly: "The son is so kind to me..."

Zhang Yunzheng slammed out a punch, and Zhang Ding flashed away with a smile. …

Everyone said goodbye again and again, and Shen Yi took everyone away. Those who remain are either drunk or eat too much, and rest early. The next day they got up, spent a day preparing dry food for the carriages, and the next morning, leaving the border area. In order to avoid attracting any attention, only Shen Yi, who was stationed outside the city, sent them some distance away.

After they walked southward along the way they came for a few days, Shen Wen said that she wanted to lead the way, so he rode a horse and began to drive the convoy to the east. Zhang Yunzheng asked: "What are you going eastward?"

Shen Wen said: "That direction is the sea, and there is more rain along the coast. Maybe the drought is not that serious. I don't want to go to the drought-stricken areas anymore. Go around as far away as possible."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Then it is better to go directly to the beach. You can look at the sea. My mother and my grandparents both have ocean shipping business. Maybe we can find a family. We should go south by boat. It should be more comfortable than riding a horse."

Shen Wen also felt reasonable and nodded: "This season is still north wind, it should be possible to get on the boat."

Both Ji Wenzhao and Yan Shi stayed at the border. Shi Helin, the only elder, was in the shadow of depression. Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Wen, the fourth prince and Su Wanniang were very unrestrained.

The four princes helped Su Wanniang learn to ride a donkey, riding on the donkey by himself, holding the reins for her on one side.

Since then, Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Wen have kept pace with each other every day. The weather is still cold, and they can't talk while riding, but they are not lonely looking at the surrounding scenery when they are together. They have been away from Beijing for so many months, only then did they really feel like traveling.
