In the middle of May and summer, Koto is already hot, mosquitoes breed, and flies are swarming. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At such a time of year, sleeping in the wild is not a wonderful experience. Especially for those children of the family, being bitten by mosquitoes every night, in order to hide their whereabouts, they can't even be infected with mugwort, which is really miserable. In the past, the fatigue of the day and night rush could still offset the pain, but now staying in this abandoned garden, the pain will inevitably be doubled.

After nightfall, those family members realized the intention of sifting through the fine dust in the garden during the day, which was originally to mix the soil into mud with water and smear the whole body to resist mosquito bites. Although these people have practiced for a long time, they still retain some smug habits, and they are willing to take the initiative to smear the sludge all over their bodies.

But as the night deepened, the mosquitoes became more rampant, and they didn't dare to let go of their hands and feet to slap and drive away, and finally someone couldn't help but take the mud and smear it all over his body. The mud is smeared on the body, and there is no imaginary stench, but because the soil is carefully sifted, and some herbs are added to grind into powder, there is a faint fragrance. Although it was unsightly, it did have an insect repellent effect, and those who followed the example soon felt the benefits, fell across the haystack between the walls, and soon fell asleep.

Seeing this scene, there were a few people who had a habit of cleanliness and stubbornly refused to smear, and finally couldn't bear it, and finally got rid of the suffering. Like a mud monkey, there is no longer the original high-level appearance. It's just that this look is really not good-looking, I'm afraid that their mother-in-law won't recognize it when she sees it.

Shen Zhezi didn't know about the twists and turns of his subordinates, and after sending Xu Su away, he returned to the room, and according to the information he got from Xu Su earlier, he sketched the current distribution of soldiers inside and outside Jiankang City on paper, and then thought deeply, hoping to see some opportunities to break the situation.

Sneaking in the enemy-occupied area, it is light and simple, and the small lamp is not only dim, but also has a strong smell of oil smoke when it burns. However, in order to prevent the light from penetrating out, many cracks and window holes in this room were blocked and could not breathe and transmit light, and soon the whole room was filled with a smoky smell, which was so spicy that Shen Zhezi's eyes were full of tears.

Although it is difficult to compare the material life of later generations in this era, Shen Zhezi has been pampered since the crossing, and such inferior lamp oil has really not been used, and it can be regarded as an experience of the hardships of the life of the small people. But then again, if it is really a small people's home, it should be sunset, but I am afraid that even such inferior lamp oil will be reluctant to consume.

Ji You pushed the door in, saw Shen Zhezi sitting there with red eyes, and said that he had something on his mind, and wanted to step forward to comfort him. But he didn't want to take a few steps forward, Shen Zhezi looked up, his face suddenly changed and he roared: "What a ghost!" ”

Everyone outside smeared their bodies with mud, and Ji You was naturally no exception, his face was covered with mud, and when he heard this, he grinned, revealing two rows of white miserable teeth. As soon as he was about to sit down, Shen Zhezi waved his hand again and again: "You stay away from me, it's really dirty!" ”

"You still have the face to dislike me! If you hadn't encouraged me to come here, I wouldn't have ended up like this in this life! ”

Ji You was not angry when he heard this, and sat opposite Shen Zhezi despite Shen Zhezi's drive, opened his nostrils and sniffed, and said in surprise: "There is no mugwort in this room, how can you not be bitten by mosquitoes, Wei Zhou?" ”

Shen Zhezi smiled after hearing this, and poured out a few incense pills from a bag around his waist, these incense pills are fine products made in the garden, although there is no too pungent smell, but the effect of repelling insects is very strong, or before leaving, Princess Xingnan asked people to prepare to stuff into Shen Zhezi's suit.

"Okay, you Shen Weizhou, what kind of friend are you who don't share your private good products!"

When Ji You heard Shen Zhezi's explanation, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he swept the incense pills into his arms. Shen Zhezi didn't stop it, this is not a rare item nowadays, everyone should have inventory, but those gentlemen outside are used to being served on weekdays, how can they remember to prepare these things, but there is no considerate lady to prepare for them, they deserve to be bitten by mosquitoes!

After laughing for a while, Ji You saw the sketch sketched by Shen Zhezi on the bookcase, and couldn't help but be curious: "What is this?" The picture is so clumsy, sooner or later my father's name will be ruined in your ink and paper! ”

Shen Zhezi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, it was no secret that his penmanship was clumsy, which could be said to be against the trend in the era of advocating calligraphy. But even so, no one criticized him for this, but many people avoided talking about penmanship and ink when he was present, lest they be mistaken for ridiculing him. Shen Zhezi was also noncommittal about this, which became his reason for promoting printing.

In the final analysis, he already has the qualifications to be opened up and given more tolerance. After all, calligraphy is just a skill, just like playing the piano and painting, the children of the family are really not good at this, and it is just a harmless little thing, anyway, they don't need to rely on these skills to drill the camp for progress. However, Shen Zhezi's calligraphy has indeed improved, even if he doesn't deliberately practice, he can still see it, but he is limited to the communication circle, and he can only accompany the last seat. The difference is not in the pen power, but in the friends who can highlight him.

Shen Zhezi rubbed his eyebrows and told what he had learned earlier, and then sighed: "It is not a long-term plan for us to go deep behind enemy lines, and it is difficult for hundreds of people to hide in the suburbs of Beijing for a long time, so we need to quickly come up with a strategy to move." Alas, I don't know the situation in Taichung, and it's really hard for me to make a decision. ”

"What? You—You don't have a strategy yet? You don't know how to do it, so you drive straight here? ”

When Ji You heard this, his eyes suddenly widened. He had no lack of blind confidence in Shen Zhezi, and he was confused by Shen Zhezi's attitude of being a bamboo in his chest, but when he heard Shen Zhezi tell the truth, he was really taken aback.

Seeing Ji You's reaction, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Be quiet, don't be heard by others." ”

"You can still laugh?"

Even if Ji You laughed, it was really a bitter smile. This group of them drove straight to the outskirts of Beijing with light equipment, and there were rebel troops everywhere, and they didn't have a definite plan at all, and they dared to say that they were not ashamed to recover Jiankang!

"I'm already thinking about it, and I'll have eyebrows soon."

Shen Zhezi has a lot of ideas, but because of the lack of the most important information about Taicheng, he doesn't dare to make a plan even if he has an idea. Only when all the joints are thoroughly touched, can we find the breakthrough and attack quickly. Moreover, he seemed to be in danger, but before leaving, he had already made a deduction about various variables with his uncle Shen Shen, who was left behind to command the Dongyang army, and even if he couldn't do it, he was sure enough to escape back into the army.

――――――

In every war, the most rare thing is peace. After dark, the curfew falls into a dead silence in the southern city. Occasionally, some soldiers patrolling at night cursed the captain for being too harsh, and walked aimlessly through the streets with torches.

"What people!"

A patrol commander sensed movement ahead, and when he yelled with his hand on the hilt, the soldiers behind him picked up their blades and slowly walked towards the place where the movement had originated.

"Don't be idle! I don't care about you! ”

In the darkness, a large man walked out quickly, holding a ring-headed knife in one hand and a patina medallion in the other. These soldiers may not be literate, but they are no strangers to the shape of the military card, and their hearts are full of joy when they see this.

Now the city defense seems to be chaotic, in fact, there are its own rules, the outermost outermost outerpart of the city is the defense of the guards under the command of the Liyang army, and after passing the fence, it is a part of the township warriors formed into an army as a sentry. The soldiers on the inner layer are much more important than the first floor, and the least that can have military cards are the defenders near the big truss. As for these peripheral soldiers, they don't even have military badges, they just change their military numbers day and night to distinguish them.

The other party can show the military card, which shows that the origin is not small, and these stragglers naturally did not dare to step forward and ask carefully, so they obediently retreated to another street and alley to avoid conflict. After a while, they saw a woman holding what seemed to be a woman in the middle of several figures, and the woman was still struggling, and her mouth was slightly shrill begging for mercy, but then her mouth was covered and she soon disappeared at the other end of the street.

"These are the ones who should be cooked in oil!"

When the chief saw this scene, he understood that the other party must have trespassed into the house to kidnap the woman as a catharsis, so he hated and cursed. Although these stragglers succumbed to the city, they were all from the left village of Gyeonggi, and they were resentful when they saw this tragic scene, but it was not easy for them to save their lives, and they really couldn't stop the voice of these tragedies.

"Brother, that old man just now doesn't have a gentleman's accent!"

"This is the most hateful!"

The patrol cursed as they drifted away.

Xu Su and others used this method to evade many patrol soldiers one after another, and returned to their posts without any danger. There are more than 500 people in this office, and Longxi is mainly concentrated here. The lieutenant in charge of them was originally an officer of the guard, and the military ban was not very strict. Although he returned late at night, Xu Su stuffed a gold ring buckle with a lot of weight into the captain's arms, and the sin of not returning to the camp at night was revealed.

Taking advantage of the night to go out and loot this kind of thing, these defenders often do it, and some people even rushed directly into Wuyi Alley to kidnap the nobles and their daughters, as long as they are not caught, it is a trivial matter.

Because of his mission, Xu Su's heart was half excited, half anxious, and he stayed up all night thinking about how to pass to the opposite side of the big truss to deliver news to Taicheng. These guards each have their own guard range, and it is strictly forbidden to cross the boundary. Yongqing Lane, where Xu Su is located, is still some distance away from the big truss, and the south of Taicheng is an empty no-man's land, and the houses have been demolished.

If it was another situation, Xu Su would not be too anxious, just wait patiently for the opportunity. But now that his family Lang Jun is outside the city, Xu Su can't help but be a little impatient, hoping to quickly deliver the news for Lang Jun to make a trade-off, or act quickly, or stay away as soon as possible, and stay longer, the more danger there will be.

I didn't sleep all night, and when I patrolled the next day, Xu Su's spirit was a little weak. With a status like his current status in the guards, there is almost no chance of being able to cross the Qinhuai River justifiably. And if you want to climb to a high position again, the first is to have a Harajuku guard captain who has a residence in the Protector's Mansion, and the second is to have a good family in Danyang, and move all your family members to Taicheng to stay in Taicheng. Xu Su does not have these two conditions, so it is naturally difficult to go up and fish in troubled waters.

Patrolling to the edge of the road and seeing Nanyuan on the other side of the street, Xu Su's heart moved, and he quickly stepped forward and stabbed the captain in the waist, and then signaled the other party to look at Nanyuan, his eyes already showing undisguised greed. The lieutenant is not a good type, seeing Xu Su's eyes, he knows what he is thinking, this is planning to make a big ticket, and he wants to capture Nanyuan!
