Chapter 505: Let Go
After feeding Xiao Ruxue something, Xu Qing went to boil the medicine.
Xu Qing borrowed the medicine pot from the inn when making medicine, and Xu Qing was very satisfied with the service attitude of Yuelai Inn.
As soon as he heard that he was renting an upper house, the little girl immediately looked at her closer than her own father.
Originally, the mistress meant that she could do it for herself, but Xu Qing still wanted to do it herself for making medicine for the little girl.
It is said that the technology of boiling medicine was learned from my father-in-law back then.
My father-in-law didn't teach me many things, but I learned them for my whole life.
The first one taught was how to chase after his daughter.
The second thing he taught was how to make medicine when his daughter was sick.
Now Xu Qing's technology of brewing medicine has obviously reached perfection.
When Xu Qing came in with the medicine, the little girl lying on the bed immediately retracted her head into the quilt after smelling the pungent medicine smell.
Seeing Xiao Ruxue's appearance, Xu Qing said, "Xue'er, get up and drink your medicine."
Xiao Ruxue's muffled voice came from under the quilt: "Don't drink..."
Xu Qing persuaded: "Drink the medicine and you will get better soon."
Xiao Ruxue's muffled voice continued to huddle under the blanket: "The medicine is very bitter..."
Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "After drinking the medicine, I'll give you a big white rabbit."
Xiao Ruxue sniffed and snorted, "Do you think I'm Sister Bing'er? A big white rabbit wants to bribe me?"
Xu Qing added: "How about two?"
Although Xiao Ruxue's head did not stick out, a white and tender little cold hand slowly stretched out from the side of the quilt.
Xu Qing was startled: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Ruxue: "Sugar..."
...
Xu Qing took out two milk candies and put them in Xiao Ruxue's cool hands, Xiao Ruxue's cool hands retracted, and then a head slowly stretched out, a small mouth already contained a A piece of candy, the small mouth opened and closed, waiting for Xu Qing to feed.
Apparently she had no intention of taking the medicine herself at all.
Xu Qing asked Xiao Ruxue to lean against her, and said, "Do you want to drink faster or slower?"
Xiao Ruxue asked, "Is there any difference?"
Xu Qing said: "Drink it fast, you will feel deep feelings, and drink it slowly, you will feed it spoon by spoon."
Xiao Ruxue thought for a while and said, "My mouth is small..."
Xu Qing held a spoonful of medicine to Xiao Ruxue's mouth, and said, "Then you will have to suffer for a while longer."
That's what Su Qian said when Su Qian was sick and he gave him medicine.
Every time Xu Qing fed a spoonful of medicine, Xiao Ruxue's brows would constrict due to the bitter taste of the medicine, but soon relaxed again.
After Xu Qing finished feeding the medicine, he gave Xiao Ruxue another glass of water to suppress the bitter taste.
After feeding the medicine, Xu Qing put her hands under the quilt to warm Xiao Ruxue's little cold hands, and said, "When I was going to make the medicine just now, the waiter in the shop said that there will be a lantern festival in this city tomorrow night. There will be fireworks, get well soon, and if you get better soon, I can take you to see them."
When Xiao Ruxue heard this, a happy expression appeared on her face: "Okay, okay, I like watching fireworks and lantern festivals."
Xu Qing pinched Xiao Ruxue's little cold hand and said, "If you like it, after I go back, I'll hold a few more lantern festivals in Anding County and set off a lot of fireworks, okay?"
Xiao Ruxue said happily, "Okay."
After the medicine took effect, Xiao Ruxue's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep in Xu Qing's arms not long after.
When Xu Qing wanted to take back his hand, he found that Xiao Ruxue had firmly grasped his own hand, and he couldn't take it back even if he wanted to.
How did this girl still have so much strength when she fell asleep?
...
Chu State Border
Zhou Guo Daying
The scout knelt on one knee in the commander's tent, cupped fist and said: "Report to the commander, the Chu army is continuing to advance towards our army."
Zhou Guo's coach Nian Kang couldn't help being surprised when he heard the news: "What?"
It is inevitable that Zhou Guo's coach is not surprised, because all Zhou Guo's concern for Chu State is based on the emptiness of Chu State's treasury.
Chu State had many disasters and rebellions last year, which also made Zhou State's guess more certain.
But why is Chu State able to mobilize so many soldiers and horses now?
Where does his money come from?
No, when war was declared, Zhao Guo, who was about to form an alliance with Zhou State, suddenly chose to reject the alliance and stand still.
Could it be that Zhao State lent the money to Zhou State for the Chu State's war?
Looking at it now, there is only such a possibility.
If not, how could the state of Chu collect such a huge sum of money?
After returning to the country, I must make it clear to His Majesty, and then I will ask Your Majesty to send troops to Zhao Guo!
Thinking of this, Nian Kang couldn't help but thumped the table in front of him, looked at the kneeling scout and asked, "Besides this, is there any other movement in Chu?"
The scout continued: "Chu's army has followed many catapults."
"Catapult?" Nian Kang was slightly taken aback when he heard this: "The catapult is one of the siege tools. This is the border between the two countries. Where can the army camp and attack? Have they brought stones?"
The scout said: "Reporting to the commander, you guys have never seen any convoys transporting stones in the Chu army."
Nian Kang frowned and said: "The place where the two armies are facing each other is an open field. There are neither mountains nor quarries. They don't bring their own stones, but they still push a lot of catapults. What is the Chu army doing?" ? King Xian, the undefeated leader of the army, shouldn’t have issued such an absurd order, that’s all, let’s investigate again!”
The scout cupped fist said: "Yes!"
After that, he backed out.
Nian Kang walked out of the big tent, looked at the deputy commander who was already waiting outside the tent and said, "Assemble the army and order the crossbowmen to prepare. As soon as the Chu army enters the range, they will immediately shoot their arrows!"
The deputy commander cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
Just when the crossbowmen were assembled and the army was ready to put on their armor for battle, another scout rushed over and said in a cupped fist, "Report to the commander! The Chu army stopped ten miles away from our camp!"
Nian Kang was even more confused this time: "Never fight, never retreat, what exactly does the Chu army want to do?"
The deputy commander said: "Commander, the morale of the Chu army is high now, why don't we pull out the camp and retreat to avoid the sharp edge for now."
Nian Kang refused and said, "Nonsense! It's unreasonable to retreat without a fight! In this way, isn't it because our Zhou State is afraid of their Chu State?"
After thinking for a while, Nian Kang looked up at the sky again, and issued an order: "Tonight, all the soldiers are on standby at any time, and step up patrols to prevent the Chu army from attacking the camp at night! Once you see the Chu army approaching, you don't need to ask for orders, just shoot arrows immediately! "
...
night falls
Under the cover of darkness, the Chu army advanced several miles.
The scout of the Chu Army knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Ye, cupped fist and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, we can't get any closer. Zhou Jun has already spotted our army, and the crossbow is ready to fire at any time. If we get any closer, our army will enter the enemy's crossbow." Range."
Xiao Ye looked at the distance and said: "Zhou Guo is really cautious. If a catapult is used at this distance, it is really impossible to throw stones weighing dozens of catties into the enemy's camp, but unfortunately, we did not throw stones weighing dozens of catties this time. A heavy stone."
Having said that, Xiao Ye turned his head and ordered: "The bomber is ready to load!"
Not long after, a voice came:
"Report to Your Highness, the loading is complete!"
"Report to Your Highness, the loading is complete!"
"Report to Your Highness, the loading is complete..."
...
Xiao Ye heard the sound of the filling being completed, and waved his hand: "Let it go!"
