The back house is still a bit big, and Dong Xiaowan, who didn't find anyone, finally chose to go to the back garden.

Today's Zhou Mansion, that is, the original Tan Wang's Mansion, the area is not small at all, and the houses are quite luxurious, such as this back garden, which is also quite wasted to build. Although it was abandoned for several years, Feng Ji settled in and re-managed it, and a lot of luxuriance was restored.

After that, it was Li Qingzhao who moved in.

As a woman, she naturally wanted to be beautiful in every aspect, so she once again transformed the back garden, not only expanding the area, but also creating a bamboo forest and a small pond. Among them, there are bamboo houses in the bamboo forest, and there are water pavilions in the small pond.

Dong Xiaowan was walking on the periphery of the bamboo forest at this moment, and a cobblestone path circled the bamboo forest. On weekdays, I heard Zhou Shaoyu say that walking barefoot on the pebbles is good for health, and the sisters have not come to walk around less.

It's probably not a very remote place, because people come here a lot. But at this moment, it was very quiet, thanks to the bright moonlight, if it was also pitch black.

Because of suspicion, Dong Xiaowan didn't dare to take the maid with her, and was looking for the traces of the two alone, and was walking, when she suddenly heard a sound in the forest.

"Ah......h

Dong Xiaowan's heart tightened, although it was just a simple tone, she could understand that this was her mother Bai's voice. However, the problem is that the sound is obviously coming from the opposite direction on the other side, which is very unreal, which also leads to the sound of 'ah', under Dong Xiaowan's suspicion, it becomes more suspicious.

And the other side......

"But your foot is broken?" Zhou Shaoyu supported Bai's crooked body, reduced physical contact as much as possible, and said with concern in his mouth. Looking down, I saw that there was a pebble on the ground that was quite big, but the pebble on the side was gone.

"No, it's okay, hiss......" Bai Shi was a little flustered, and subconsciously wanted to avoid Zhou Shaoyu's support, but as soon as he took a step to the side, the heart-like pain in his ankle made Bai Shi break out in a cold sweat.

Although Zhou Shaoyu didn't see the injury, he could look at Bai's appearance, and generally knew that the injury was not light, looked left and right, and saw a flat boulder in the bamboo forest on the side, so he said: "You can sit there for a while, and help Mrs. over first." ”

Bai Shi naturally nodded, but it hurt so badly that he couldn't touch the ground at all, if he wanted to move, he had to stick to Zhou Shaoyu and jump on one leg, that's all, the partial road was not flat, if it was a one-legged jump, it would be impossible to say that the other leg would also be lost.

"Madam, offended." Zhou Shaoyu hesitated for a moment, then said, as soon as he bent over, a princess hugged Bai over.

Bai's 'ah' life, his body was out of control, and he subconsciously put his hands around Zhou Shaoyu's neck, and then reacted, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he bowed his head and was silent, but he also knew that it could only be so for the time being.

Coincidentally, Dong Xiaowan happened to hit the rear and walked around, and just as he could see half of the figure, he saw Zhou Shaoyu picking up the Bai family and entering the forest. When I opened my mouth, I subconsciously wanted to shout, but in the end I held back.

Very uneasily, he quietly followed, and vaguely saw Zhou Shaoyu put Bai on a big stone and sat down. At this time, Dong Xiaowan was also embarrassed, I didn't know whether I should speak out, but before she could make a decision, a black cloud floated in, which happened to block the moonlight, and for a while, the entire bamboo forest was pitch black, although she didn't reach out and couldn't see her five fingers, but at most she could only see what was in front of her, and if she was a little farther away, she was like a blind man.

And at this time, I only heard another 'ah' from the forest......

"It's swollen." Zhou Shaoyu put down Bai's, squatted down and carefully took off Bai's shoes and socks, and frowned.

Because the sprain has not been for a long time, there is only a slight swelling at this time, but it will definitely get worse over time. After all, during this time, the Bai family didn't think about going to the ground.

In this case, it is not suitable for immediate massage with medicine, and the best way is to apply cold compresses.

Cold compresses are used to contract, reduce bleeding and swelling of locally injured muscle tissue. But also be careful not to frostbite your skin when applying cold compresses.

Although Zhou Shaoyu has storage space, it is not enough to say that he even has ice cubes, at least not now, so he can only use wet and cold compresses.

Immediately take out a basin, pour cold water, throw in two towels to soak, and then take out one piece and twist it to a half-dry to wrap Bai's ankle. This water is the water of the mountain spring that Zhou Shaoyu once took, it was very cool, and as soon as it was packed, Bai couldn't help but open his mouth and exclaimed, well, that is, the second sound that Dong Xiaowan heard.

The pain must still hurt, but at the moment, the cold sigh is indeed a little comfortable, with that sound, it seems to be painful and refreshing, and I can't tell what it feels like.

Outside the forest, Dong Xiaowan bit her lip, wanting to get close and see it with her own eyes, but she was afraid of being discovered, and she was in a dilemma for a while, so she quieted down after thinking about it, and vaguely seemed to hear what Zhou Shaoyu said, but the voice was too small and too vague.

For ancient women, the feet were a private part and would never be easily revealed. This alone is enough to make Bai's shyness unnatural. And the Bai family is a person at the end of the Ming Dynasty, at that time foot binding has long become a trend, foot binding women because of the slow walking, coupled with gorgeous clothing, so that the feeling is more delicate, look graceful, for the literati high-level like.

But although Bai's background is not bad, there is no foot binding, and a pair of heavenly feet is not big, but it is definitely not small. At most, it's just because the family has always been good, and there is no need to do any physical work, but it is very well maintained and in good shape.

But in the end, it is the kind of woman who has grown up under the atmosphere, and her concept has been somewhat affected, even if she has been in Daliang for a while, she will still think that the three-inch golden lotus is the best. So I am not confident in my own pair of heavenly feet.

Zhou Shaoyu didn't expect Bai Shi to think so much, but it must be unnatural and a little embarrassed, so he said without words: "This kind of cold compress method, you need to change the towel once in less than half a cup of tea, a total of about half an hour, and then apply the medicine ......."

Dong Xiaowan didn't hear it clearly, probably that's it, and nothing else is more than a precaution, but nothing else. It's just that when it came time to change the towel, Bai still exhaled 'ah'. Okay, it's hard for Dong Xiaowan to think about it too much.

For a more serious sprain like this, you can apply some medicine with a cold compress at the beginning, or you can take some internal medicine, and it is best to lie down and raise your feet, which is conducive to recovery, and after two days, you can use massage to speed up the recovery.

At this time, the problem comes, among many girls, there is no proficient in medicine, Cao Jie learned at the beginning, but later his interest turned directly to politics, and he has never been exposed to these again, and the other one who knows some fur is Wang Mang's queen.

It's just that Wang Yan is the most special, and the most maverick, if there is nothing to do, she lives in her own Buddhist hall all the year round, and her friendship with other girls is quite ordinary, like today, and she has never participated. In fact, Zhou Shaoyu didn't mean to hook up at the beginning, and he was completely entrusted by Wang Mang to take him away.

With Wang Yan's temperament, if she asks for a favor, she will naturally agree to come over to help massage one or two at that time, but Bai will not be so embarrassed to accept it, after all, she is not familiar. But if it is a normal doctor, male doctors can be excluded for the time being, and as for female doctors, they have not yet recruited one, which can be described as rare.

It's not right, the woman who claims to be from Xuanyang Mountain has good medical skills, but it's not in Tanzhou.

Zhou Shaoyu will have some bone-setting massage, but it is not so suitable to do it himself, it doesn't matter if he arrives, it mainly depends on Bai's attitude.

There is a pair of people who don't have a pair to say, according to Zhou Shaoyu's meaning, is to call someone to come over to help the Bai family go back, but the heavenly prince is not beautiful, and it starts to rain lightly, so I have no choice but to continue to send the Bai family back with the princess. And Dong Xiaowan never appeared from beginning to end, for her, she only heard Bai's soft calls from time to time.

After leaving the lobby for so long, the result was that the person didn't take it back, Dong Xiaowan was still thinking about how to explain, but when she came back, she had already been too high, the wine was surging, and she slept several times on the spot.

The next day, after the rain, the weather was very good.

At this time, Huofeng was invited to secretly rush to Taiyuan City in Bingzhou to discuss the next development plan with a group of women.

Xiao Jiwen's attack on Huofeng can be described as a tiger's head, and she was forced to withdraw from the army due to Sun Shouren's attack. Even if Sun Shouren has retreated now, the containment has been formed, in other words, unless Xiao Yuwen is ready to fight in many ways, otherwise, it will be difficult to attack Luoyang again. Not to mention that there is not too much left this year, and in the coming year, Tubo will start attacking the Western Regions, and Xiao Jiwen will not have so much energy to take care of other things at that time.

It stands to reason that this is also a good time to counterattack Xiao Jiwen. Outsiders don't know that Huofeng has secretly surrendered to Cheng and sent troops to attack Chang'an in her name, which can be said to be no problem at all, but the gains outweigh the losses.

Under the leadership of Gao Yuyao, the Liang court has become more and more powerful, at least in terms of military strength, and Sun Shouren's previous actions and the subsequent announcement of the queen's candidate fully show that Sun Shouren, whose attitude has always been unclear, is still leaning on the side of the Liang.

In this way, the sum of the two will directly increase the total strength of the army!

It sounds exaggerated to raise a million troops with half of the country, but Gao Yuyao did it, which is also due to the location of the territory left by Gao Yuyao. In the past few years, natural and man-made disasters have basically had little impact on the Jiangnan region, and the population has not decreased sharply.

Unlike other places, such as Shuzhou, there was a natural disaster first, and then there was a rebellion, Xiao Jiao's wife entered Shu to suppress it, and there were too many people who died, while Yunzhou was remote and relatively sparsely populated, even if there were not many disasters, many people died in the subsequent crusade. As for Yongzhou, let alone that the Turks swept once, and the Western Regions Coalition swept once, how many people could they win.

Therefore, even if Xiao Jiwen is gradually abundant in funds, she has been expanding her army, but the number is limited after all. Assuming that the war starts and people continue to die, and they die to a certain limit, it will be difficult for Xiao Jiwen to develop again.

Zhou Shaoyu is not much better, except for the relatively stable population of Tanzhou, Chenghui itself is a small state, and after so many years, the population is not much, as for the merger of states, all kinds of solicitations have increased, and there is also an upper limit.

But Da Liang is different, in his direct jurisdiction, the population is tens of millions, and a wave of deaths? No matter how big it is, it's easy to recruit again.

So there is no doubt that the girder is the absolute enemy. It is precisely because of this that even if Xiao Shaoyu's wife touched Zhou Shaoyu's neck, and Zhou Shaoyu did not take revenge afterwards, she still did not destroy the alliance between the two parties.

Based on this, it would be too stupid to go and consume troops with Xiao Jiao at this time.

"There is no need for the Turks to deal with it, we will not move, and the Turks at this time will not act rashly. Everything is still based on the consumption of the strength of the beam. "Wu Meiniang has a small face, very serious." Now that Zhou Shaoyu is known as the King of Liang Jin, unless he is ready to bear the name of treason, he will never send troops in the name of merging states, so at the moment, Ye Niangzi's identity is very important, and it is very suitable for Ye Niangzi, who started with an uprising, to send Liang. ”

is basically such an issue, at the beginning, it was considered to let Huofeng surrender to Zhou Shaoyu, so that the eastern half of Yuzhou, which is dominated by Luoyang, will fall into the hands of Zhou Shaoyu, so that unless Xiao Yuwen tears up the covenant, it will not be good to attack again.

At the same time, deliberately leaving an opening, Xiao Jiaowen could directly send troops to Jingzhou to attack Sun Shouren, thus causing the two sides to fight each other.

It's just that the current situation is different, no one thought that Tubo would enter the game, so Xiao Jiwen's energy will be very limited, and if Xiao Jiwen really waits for Tubo to solve Tubo, I don't know how long it will take.

You can't let Liang An develop steadily.

It is not good for Zhou Shaoyu to send troops directly here, once he rebels, then Zhou Shaoyu will have the name of a chaotic minister and thief on his head, even if he becomes a king and loses and finally ascends to the throne, he will not be able to wash away this stain.

Under these premises, Huofeng's identity is particularly important, she is a thief, she can fight anyone, and she has made the feat of directly pointing at Jinling, so that Huofeng can come forward to attack Daliang's territory, which is really suitable.

It's just that it's just as hard at the moment.

To the east of Yuzhou is Qingzhou, where Gao Yuyao personally led the army, and fighting with the strength of the fire phoenix is no different from hitting a stone with an egg. And the southern expedition to fight Sun Shouren is also a difficult bone to gnaw, as for Huizhou, which has been fought, it is now also strengthened in defense, and there is Gao Yuyao in the north and Sun Shouren in the south.

After several discussions, the result of the women's deliberations was to take Jingzhou.

As for how to fight, it needs to be further discussed, after all, it is not a matter of a while, during this period, it is still necessary to sort out Huofeng's army and retrain it to become a strong army.

The matter was reported by Xiao Qiao, and the Tanzhou girls who woke up with a hangover forcibly cheered up and discussed, and finally passed a resolution, and discussed a method that can be called the apex of difficulty!
