After a rain, the roads near Jiudou Mountain were muddy, and the relocation of people was also met with considerable resistance.

Just when Zhou Huai was commanding the Xiang army to clear the road, Tang Ning was writing a reply to Wang Shi in the camp tent.

I pondered for a long time, but I couldn't figure out how to write.

He can read classical Chinese, but he can't write, which can't help but make Tang Ning worry about his cultural level. After thinking about it, I finally wrote a vernacular article.

The main thing is that I am very touched by the feeling that you miss me. Everything is fine with my body, I just forgot to write to you because I was too busy. Don't blame me for this, I will definitely write to you regularly in the future.

By the way, I also wrote a letter to my family, which I read to Aunt Niu and Liu Yier.

After writing it in a hurry, he asked the guard at the door to find the one who had sent the letter before, and the one who had not left was in a hurry to send the letter back, so he stretched his waist, packed up the table and went out of the camp.

The vans who had gone to clear the road had returned, their trouser legs and feet covered in mud.

Qi Fu was even more miserable, and there was no clean place on his body.

After meeting Tang Ning by chance, Tang Ning clicked his lips and said, "Are you rolling in the mud pit, or what's wrong?" ”

Qi Fu said depressedly: "When I encountered a downhill slope, I didn't stand firm and fell when I was working, and it became like this." ”

Tang Ning couldn't help but smile: "Let's go take a bath first, just like you, let your sister see it and count you down." ”

Qi Fu nodded, he had this intention.

As the two of them said this, a team of officers passed by. When I saw Tang Ning, I politely said hello to Tang Ning, and said a word to supervise the luck to make the adults good.

Others are so polite, Tang Ning naturally has to be polite. After arching his hand slightly, he said with a smile: "Where are the few messengers going?" If the official remembers correctly, a few of them should be on the mountain. ”

The leading official returned the salute, and then said: "Today, someone in the county government sent a message saying that a Taoist priest paid to buy all the women and children found from Jiudou Mountain this time, and this matter has been completed, and we are no longer needed here."

Therefore, the humble post is now taking people to prepare to leave and go back to the county office. ”

Tang Ning raised his eyebrows, the Taoist priest in the mouth of the official was not Pei Xiantong's group? Calculating the time, from Chuzhou City to Quanjiao County, it is estimated that it is about the same at this time.

"Do you know why those Taoist priests bought these women and children?"

"What else can it be, the thieves on Jiudou Mountain have a relationship with the Taoist priests of Yinling Mountain, and it hasn't been a day or two since this matter came out.

It is estimated that because of the disaster in Jiudou Mountain this time, most of those bandits died and fled, and most of them were missing, leaving only this group of orphans and widows here.

If no one takes care of it, life will not be too easy. Those Taoist priests should have thought of this, so they paid to buy them and find a place to settle them. ”

Tang Ning glanced at Qi Fu, Qi Fu nodded slightly, and Tang Ning knew that the speculation of the official in front of him was already eight or nine, and they were all agreed by Qi Fu, the former Nine Doushan bandits.

So he arched his hand and said, "Thank you for sending someone to solve your doubts." ”

"The superintendent makes the lord not have to be polite, if there is nothing to do, the humble post will leave first."

"Have a nice trip."

"Thank you, Envoy."

After that, this official led the people to the whole court

Walk in the direction of Jiaoxian.

Tang Ning was puzzled: "Are you Jiudou Mountain's thieves really supported by those Taoist priests in Yinling Mountain?" ”

Qi Fu nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise how do you think we can be the biggest robber in Chuzhou with our style of acting?"

Seeking money does not kill people, and arresting people does not kill people. The robbers who obeyed these two articles basically died miserably, and we in Jiudoushan were lucky because we didn't have to rob at all.

Yinling Mountain is close to the left, and when those Taoist priests are transporting grain and grass to the mountain, they will also stop and divide a part of it for us.

At the end of the year, robbery days account for only a quarter of the day. ”

Tang Ningxin said that ninety-one days is not a few, but for a group of robbers who have to make a living from robbery, it is quite rare to work only one quarter a year.

At the beginning, the Nanshan thieves had to go down the mountain to rob the road almost every day to have income. And it is estimated that the time of rest in a year is not even a month.

Compared with the big boss of Jiudoushan, Han Xiong is simply a black-hearted boss who squeezes every trace of energy from employees.

I wanted to pat Qi Fu on the shoulder, but I remembered that this kid was covered in mud, so I did it. Nodding his head, he said, "I've gained knowledge." ”

Immediately asked Qi Fu to hurry up and take a bath, and he lifted the hem of his robe and wandered around idlely.

Because Tang Ning is rich and wealthy, he will reward the soldiers with some money at every turn, so he is very popular with the soldiers.

Although Tang Ning no longer rewarded him under Zhou Huai's warning, he was still very much admired by the audience's soldiers. Because if they don't know something, as long as they ask the envoy, the envoy will definitely answer it, and after answering, it will make the questioner feel like he is open.

What's more, the Lord Overseer sometimes goes to the fire head shift to cook in person, which makes the soldiers who have always felt that their status in this world is not too high, feel warm, so they support the Overseer from the bottom of their hearts.

The soldiers who passed by along the way were all like the leaders who came down to inspect, nodded their heads, and greeted Tang Ning with a smirk.

Tang Ning himself behaved like a leader who came down to inspect, waving his hand from time to time, holding the hand of a clean-looking soldier from time to time, and said affectionately: "Comrades have worked hard. ”

This act was very successful, at least the soldiers who were moved by the handshakers left tears one by one.

Guo An was still riding his horse, carrying his spear on one shoulder. When he saw Tang Ning, he immediately jumped down, looked at Tang Ning and said with a smile: "Lord Inspector." ”

Tang Ning glanced this guy up and down, and saw that there were no mud stains on his body, so he said disdainfully: "Your brothers are all working in the field, why don't you even have a piece of mud on your body?" can't do acting, how can there be a leader like you? ”

Guo An pouted and said: "Clearing the road is not a humble strength, going to the battlefield can protect them, and can kill people before they meet the enemy, they know this, how can they not respect the lowly duty?" ”

Tang Ning couldn't speak, rolled his eyes, scolded the reckless man, and walked back with his head.

Unconsciously walked to the side of Qi Xianyu's carriage, and after thinking about it, Tang Ning got into the carriage. Qi Xianyu was reading by the curtain of the car, and the sunlight that came in.

When he heard a movement, he looked up. Seeing that it was Tang Ning, he laughed and said, "You came just in time, or I'm going to look for you."

It's time to change the medicine on your shoulder, it hasn't been changed in two days. ”

After speaking, he stepped forward to help Tang Ning take off the clothes on his upper body.

When I opened the strip of cloth on my shoulder, I saw the wound on Downing's shoulder.

Although there are already traces of scabs, and the surrounding area is clean and there are no stains, the depth of the wound is still shocking.

Qi Xianyu looked at the wound distressedly, and while blowing gently, he gently applied the ointment given by Liu Ling to the wound.

"Does it hurt?" Qi Xianyu suddenly asked.

Tang Ning smiled: "The time when it hurts has long passed, and now it doesn't hurt, but it's still a little itchy." ”

"It's just itchy, and it's almost good if it's itchy." After Qi Xianyu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Tang Ning was also a doctor, so he glanced at Tang Ning with some embarrassment.

Tang Ning was amused by Qi Xianyu's action, and couldn't help but say, "I find that you are quite cute sometimes." ”

Qi Xianyu rolled her eyes and said, "Can the word cute still be used on me?" Haven't I always been an old woman in your heart? ”

Tang Ning said: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I think you were an old woman?" You're older, but you're not as close to an old woman as you are.

You're only twenty-five this year, aren't you? It's not too big, it is said that women have twenty-one flowers, and they only bloom in twenty years, so this flower has to bloom for ten years first.

You've only been open for five years, and there's still five years to go, why do you think of yourself as an old woman every day, it's not good, I don't allow you to say that about yourself. ”

"Five years later, you'll be twenty-two." Qi Xianyu said quietly.

This woman is in the horns of the bull. Tangning sighed to himself.

In fact, not only Qi Xianyu, but most men and women with a large age difference, this problem is very common.

The reason is that older women have no sense of security, and always feel that the other party will like the new and hate the old, and will like another young and beautiful rival, so as to suffer from gains and losses.

Although Qi Xianyu hates men and thinks that men are not a good thing, she has taken Tang Ning to see her father and mother after all.

What's more, as time goes by, the more you get along with Tang Ning, the less the idea of just borrowing from Tang Ning at the beginning. Maybe even she didn't know that five years after she said it, Tang Ning was only twenty-two like that.

Whether she admits it or not, it's a sign that she's starting to like Downing.

"Age is never an issue." Tang Ning pointed to his chest, and then to Qi Xianyu's chest, and said with a smile: "In the face of love, nothing is a problem. ”

"Who...... Who's in love with you! Don't talk nonsense! Qi Xianyu's face turned red all of a sudden, which actually made Tang Ning feel that she was very cute.

Because this woman can cross Erlang's legs and talk to you about making a villain without changing her face, but once it is like now, as long as she catches a straight ball, she will be very shy, which makes Tang Ning can't help but have teasing thoughts.

After Qi Xianyu finished applying the medicine to Tang Ning's wound and wrapped the wound with a clean cloth that had been prepared on the side, Tang Ning said to Qi Xianyu, who was blushing: "Do you think there will be love between the two of us?" ”

"It's just taking advantage of each other, there won't be." Qi Xianyu avoided Tang Ning's burning eyes.

"Then why don't you dare look at me?"

"You're so ugly, I've just eaten and don't want to waste food."
