The climate of Qiuli is warm, and the wind has some unpleasant hot flashes, and Chang'an City in Daning has a cold spring in March and April, but it is already hot and irritable.

The people outside the door were even more anxious because they were waiting, and the quarrels that came from time to time in the room made it even more difficult to settle down, it was the quarrel between the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital and Mr. Shen and Shen Wanyi, the voice was still small at first, and then the voice became louder and louder.

Everyone standing in the courtyard stared nervously at the inside of the house, even though the door cut them off from view, and they couldn't see anything.

Hearing that Shen Leng had rushed to Haisha from hundreds of miles away day and night back to the camp, he was standing beside Shen Leng at this moment, and the two of them glanced at each other, and each other's eyes were worried.

The quarrel in the room was getting louder and louder, and the people in the hospital seemed to be about to go crazy and couldn't help but roar.

And Shen Wanyi's voice was still calm, as if she wanted to convince the two holy hands.

Haisha looked back at the courtyard next door, where the great general Zhuang Yong was lying there waiting for news.

"How?"

Haisha still couldn't hold his breath after all, and asked Shen Leng.

Shen Leng said: "Shen Wanyi's statement is incredible, it doesn't sound like saving people but like killing people, but it seems to be the only way." ”

Haisha: "That's not a casual gamble, that's the general's life." ”

"No one wants to gamble."

Shen Leng shook his head: "Unless it comes to the time when we have to gamble, and losing the bet is the same as not gambling, then our only hope is to win the bet." ”

At this time, Zhuang Ruorong walked in from outside the door, and a group of generals in the courtyard hurriedly clenched their fists and made way at the same time, it seemed that at this time, it was Mrs. Zhuang and Miss Zhuang who could really call the shots.

"My father told me to tell some gentlemen."

Zhuang Ruorong looked very haggard, and her eyes were also sad that could not be hidden, but she was like a small wildflower blooming in the cracks of the stone in the cold winter wax moon, she swayed in the wind and snow, but refused to bow her head and refused to admit defeat.

"My father said that if you fight for your life with the sky, if you don't fight, you will return to heaven, and if you fight for a breath, then you will fight."

It should have been Zhuang Yongdu, who was in the courtyard next door, heard the quarrel here, so he came to make a decision, and he felt that he should make the decision by himself.

"My father said that in the art of war, there is a battle against the water, and those who lead the soldiers in the army are fearless."

Shen Leng saw her shoulders trembling slightly when she spoke.

What kind of courage did it take for her to say that?

What a difficult choice was it for her?

It's her father's life that is at stake.

The door of the house creaked open, and the two imperial doctors came out of the room first, and hugged their fists at Zhuang Ruorong: "Since it is the general's choice, we will do it according to the general's wishes, Mr. Xiao Shen's method we have never heard of before, and we have never even thought that there can be such a method, although the two of us do not agree, but we are willing to do our best to assist." ”

Zhuang Ruorong leaned over and bowed: "Thank you on behalf of my father." ”

Then knelt down: "Thank you, gentlemen." ”

The prostrate was on behalf of her father, Zhuang Yong, and this kneeling and prostrating represented herself.

Mr. Shen went out and helped Zhuang Ruorong up: "Rong'er, you take your mother to leave temporarily, it's best not to return until you get the news, and in the next few hours, no one can approach within a few hundred meters around the yard, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"I understand."

Zhuang Ruorong got up: "I'll take my mother away." ”

They are Zhuang Yong's closest relatives, so they must leave, and if they don't leave, they may distract a few gentlemen.

"Where are the general's personal soldiers?"

Haisha looked back and said.

"Yes."

"Blockade the camp, except for the own soldiers, everyone quit the camp, block the surrounding roads, no cars and horses approach, no noisy sounds, pass on our military orders, if there are people who move around indiscriminately, those who make noise, there will be no forgiveness."

Mr. Shen, Shen Wanyi, and the two imperial doctors entered the courtyard where Zhuang Yong lived, and except for the cronies who were left behind, everyone withdrew far away, including Shen Leng and Haisha.

There was silence all around.

It was so quiet that Shen Leng, who was far away from the small courtyard, felt that his breathing was noisy.

In the clearing, dozens of people in general armor looked nervously over there, no one spoke, they clutched the saber at their waists, for the first time, they used their swords to comfort themselves except on the battlefield.

There is a rumor.

The generals are disgusted by the rumors, and if they can cut them with one sword, they will cut them with one sword.

Shen Leng glanced at Haisha, although he didn't speak, Haisha understood what Shen Leng meant, Haisha nodded slightly to him, and Shen Leng immediately turned around and left.

In the lakeside pavilion outside the camp, Mrs. Zhuang and Zhuang Ruorong sat there, and they didn't talk either, but their hands were clasped tightly.

Shen Leng walked into the pavilion, glanced at the two women who were relying on each other, and then said softly: "I actually don't believe in any fate, nor do I believe in any destinedness, many things are changed by manpower, but now I am convinced that if luck can change due to prayer, inside and outside this camp, the prayers of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the prayers of His Majesty who are far away in Daning, will be useful." ”

Shen Leng found that he was not comforting.

But he knew that now Mrs. Zhuang and Zhuang Ruorong needed to say a few words alone.

"The general said that if one person is obsessed with it, it can be done, if ten thousand people are obsessed with it, the war will be won, and if tens of millions of people are obsessed, the country will be prosperous."

Shen Leng said: "With so many people obsessed, the general will be safe and sound." ”

Mrs. Zhuang glanced at Shen Leng gratefully: "I didn't have time to say thank you to General Shen all the way, thank you for bringing us here." ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "Because the general needs you the most, so I'm thinking, after the treatment over there is over, the general wakes up, and the first thing he sees should be you, so Madame and Miss should wash and change their clothes now, and when the general sees you, there will be less distress because Madame, you have traveled thousands of miles to the dust." ”

Mrs. and Zhuang Ruorong glanced at each other, at this time their minds were already confused, and suddenly felt that what Shen Leng said was very reasonable, in fact, Shen Leng was just talking nonsense, just looking for something to say, but the two of them took it seriously, and felt that it was really not good for them to be so dirty, so the two of them really went to bathe and change clothes, because I remembered that someone said that if you pray sincerely, you should bathe and change your clothes first.

A full hour and a half.

Some soldiers ran over from the courtyard quickly, their faces could not hide their excitement, and after seeing Shen Leng, they gasped and suppressed their voices: "Mr. Shen, they have already come out, and they said that it was very smooth, and then we will see when the general will wake up." ”

Shen Leng suddenly made his legs weak, and sat on the ground with his buttocks.

When he comforted Mrs. Zhuang and Zhuang Ruorong, wasn't he comforting himself?

The long wait was even more painful, and six hours later, Zhuang Yong woke up.

How many generals in the courtyard clenched their fists, but they didn't dare to cheer loudly.

Shen Wanyi explained that no one was allowed to disturb the general in the next half a month, even Mrs. Zhuang and Miss Zhuang could not enter, even if it was a few of them, they had to take a bath and change their clothes before entering the house, and ordered people to spread a layer of lime in the yard, and then compacted it with stones, and the soles of the shoes worn every time they entered the door could not be stained with mud, and the house was wiped every day with the potion configured by Shen Wanyi.

In the past half a month, I was so nervous that I couldn't eat or sleep.

After the seventeenth day, Shen Wanyi's face finally showed some relaxed expressions, and she told everyone that the general's injuries had been basically controlled, and Mrs. Zhuang and Miss Zhuang could also come in to visit.

A month later, Shen Leng's sea patrol also arrived at the camp, and by this time Zhuang Yong could already drink some slightly thicker liquid food.

Sitting on the edge of Zhuang Yong's bed, looking at the general who was already skinny, Shen Leng tried to control his emotions, his lips trembled slightly but he was still smiling, looking at Zhuang Yong's face that had been completely out of shape, and was silent for a long time.

Zhuang Yong couldn't help but smile slightly when he looked at him: "Am I looking ugly at this time?" ”

Shen Leng also smiled: "Where did the general say, it seems that it is not ugly." ”

Zhuang Yong wanted to laugh but didn't dare to make it loud, so he endured it.

"Stinky boy, if it weren't for the fact that you still owe me money, I'll have someone drag you out for military justice."

Shen Leng: "A big general, how many years have I been thinking about twenty taels of silver." ”

Zhuang Yong said: "I have entered the ghost gate, on the palace of the king of Hades, Yama asked me, what are the unfinished things in your world?" I said, I owe my wife and children, I owe my subordinates, and I haven't paid it back, Yama said, which one doesn't say that, who died after I asked, I said that I owe this and that, I am tired of listening, this is not the reason for me to let you go back, I thought about it and said that there is a stinky shameless person who owes me money and does not pay it back, Yama Luo immediately said, then how can it be done, you go back, when will you get back the money that guy owes you, you will come down again. ”

Shen Leng: "This is a waiver?" ”

Zhuang Yong snorted: "Yan Luo definitely doesn't know what kind of person you are, if you know, how can you let me live." ”

Shen Leng: "It turns out that the life span of the general depends on how shameless I am, then congratulations to the general, how long I live, how long can the general live, and you owe you the money I am afraid that I will not go back." ”

Zhuang Yong snorted: "What am I afraid of, it was Yan Luo's miscalculation." ”

Shen Leng laughed, and Zhuang Yong laughed too.

Shen Leng asked, "What the general just said is true?" ”

"I don't know."

Zhuang Yong was silent for a while and then said, "Maybe Mr. Xiao Shen had a dream when they fell asleep when they were treating my injuries. ”

"What else are you dreaming about?"

Zhuang Yong looked at Shen Leng's eyes and said seriously: "It's still a little unbelievable when I think about it now, I dreamed of it that day, I close my eyes now, everything is as if it just happened, clearly...... I dreamed that I had stepped into the hall of Yama, and Yama said that I should enter reincarnation, and I said that I did not want to enter it, and Yama said that this was the underworld, and his words were a certainty. ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "At this moment, I suddenly saw a golden light on the Yama Palace, and the golden light broke through the hall and entered, and in the golden light, I stepped on the Yama case with one foot, and faintly heard Your Majesty's voice, Your Majesty said...... What about Yama? I said that if I don't allow it, I won't allow it, I won't let Zhuang Yong come back, I will carry 100,000 banners, set foot on the earth, and behead you Yama. ”
