She fell out after crying at the wrong grave

The doctor invited was Gong Yangliang.

There was no way to avoid it, and since he was already in Kezhou, he had to realize his ambition to cure diseases and save lives. So, regardless of Gong Sheng's anger, he resolutely went to Kezhou Camp to work as a military doctor.

His medical skills were completely inherited from his teacher Gong Sheng and were not inferior to his.

The subordinates around Zhao Hou were so anxious that they invited him over as if they were being chased by a wolf. Then he waited in a tent nearby, and he waited until it was almost dark.

No matter how good-tempered a person is, he will become impatient if this wastes his patience.

Gong Yangliang caught a soldier at the door and found out from asking him that the city had been catching spies for the past two days, and in the end a few of them were let go in the city and burned down most of the East Street.

Hengzhi didn't need to worry about the damage caused by the fire, but he still went there in person despite his injuries. It was normal for him to go back and forth at this point.

Gong Yangliang shook his head, not knowing what to say, and went to the main tent with his medicine box on his back.

In front of Hengzhi were piles of state affairs that had not been dealt with for the day. No matter whether they were scholars, farmers, merchants or workers, they were all stacked on the desk according to date, like a small mountain, covering half of the person.

I'm afraid even the emperor's desk doesn't have so much trouble nowadays.

"Take off your clothes." Gong Yangliang didn't look at Hengzhi again, he opened the medicine box and started preparing for acupuncture.

According to Yun Cheng's description, this injury was treated personally by his master Gong Sheng. He even went to read the previous medical records before coming to the camp and was well prepared.

When Hengzhi heard someone talking, he realized that the person coming was another acquaintance. "Mr. Gong Yang?" He stopped writing and walked over. "It's been a long time since we last met. How are you, Mr. Gong?"

The shiny silver needle was placed in front of the candle flame and burned.

Gong Yangliang was meticulous and answered perfunctorily, "I can eat and sleep well, and I'm healthier than you. Take it off quickly."

Who has offended this person again?

Hengzhi had been running around all day, and his eyes and eyebrows were tired. He was too lazy to ask any more questions. He raised his hand to unbutton his robe, sat down on the wide chair nearby, and exposed half of his arm.

"I heard that Madam Cui's shop was also affected and burned down."

After the injection, Hengzhi doubled over in pain. His whole body began to tremble violently, his arms and left hand hanging limply, his right hand tightly grasping the back of the chair, veins popping out on his forehead and hands.

Hengzhi didn't bother to ask him. He didn't know which acupoints had been pierced on him just now, and it hurt even more than the old injury.

Even so, he endured it in silence without saying a word.

Gong Yangliang was startled, then sneered. He knew that the pain was unbearable, but he still wanted to stab him, "Zhao Hou's body is just like this. If you don't take care, your wife will be able to remarry in five years!"

Yun Cheng came in to serve tea, and was unhappy when he heard it, "Mr. Gong Yang, what do you mean by that!"

Hengzhi was forced to lie down, slowly recovering. The burning pain eroded his consciousness fiercely, and he saw stars in front of his eyes, and could not hear clearly what people said.

The location where Gongyang Liang pierced was exactly the acupuncture point where he had been injured and blocked by an old injury. It was exactly the place where his left shoulder was injured in the jungle of Dang County.

The wound had not healed for a long time, and the blood loss was too much. The cold air from the heavy snow had not been removed in time, which had already become a sequelae, and then he was poisoned. Although Gong Sheng was a superb doctor, the remaining crux would be fine if it did not flare up. If it did, it would definitely be very painful and make people restless.

The skin under the silver needle began to bruise quickly, and when the blood came out, the pain was relieved a lot.

Hengzhi wanted to laugh, but he was too weak to move the corners of his mouth. "You are still thinking about my wife." His voice was not loud and his pronunciation was very forced. He was still holding back.

Gong Yangliang then slowly began to seal a pain-relieving acupuncture point with a silver needle. "Young Marquis, you have already seen it, right? So what? You are the ones who march and fight, with new injuries on top of old ones, and you don't take your bodies seriously. What's wrong with me being concerned about you?"

"Mr. Gongyang is not such a person." These words did not annoy Hengzhi at all. "When my wife was by my side, she often told me that Mr. Gongyang was a very kind person. Whether in medical skills or character, he was first-rate."

Gong Yangliang's heart, which had been half ruthless, suddenly relaxed.

The couple really talked about everything. Although Gong Yangliang knew that he was interested in Ah-an, he didn't take it seriously at all. Who knows, he might talk about it as a joke after dinner.

Where Hengzhi couldn't see, Gongyang Liang shook his head half in self-mockery.

He had never fallen in love in his entire life. The only time he fell in love was with a precious princess who was already married and lived in harmony with her husband.

Even though I gave up early, when I think back on it now, there's still a bitter feeling in my heart.

Gong Yangliang took out a pen and paper from the medicine box and wrote down the prescription neatly. "Take it and get the medicine according to the prescription. Take a few doses and you will be safe on rainy days."

Yun Cheng took the prescription and went there immediately.

Gong Yangliang and Heng Zhi were the only ones left in the tent. He sighed again and murmured, "What good can it do to think about them?"

Hengzhi closed his eyes and curled his lips.

Although someone was thinking about the pearl in his arms, fortunately the other party seemed to be very clear that even if he was thinking about it, it would be of no use.

Gong Yangliang was nothing but sharp-tongued towards him.

He removed the needle, placed a box of ointment on the table, and before leaving with the medicine box on his shoulder, he couldn't help but say, "My master said that Mr. Huai Chengbai had already arrived at Changguan for the Ma family's affairs, and met Madam Cui at the Ma family. Are you worried about this? Even if it's for her, you should hold on for a few more years and work harder on yourself."

As if that was not enough, he added, "If I let her become a widow, I will never let her go."

After saying that, he regretted it again.

If Ah'an were to experience a heart-wrenching separation from her loved ones, I'm afraid neither of the two people in the tent would be willing to do so.

Hengzhi didn't answer, but Ah's tearful eyes appeared before his eyes. "The war in the north is about to break out, be careful."

Gong Yangliang's acupuncture was indeed effective. Heng Zhi took advantage of his arm being able to move and slowly put on his clothes. His tone became relaxed again, "Thank you, sir. Please call those people at the door in before you leave."

Gong Yangliang waved his sleeves, thinking that he really shouldn't have cared about this man so much, and walked away with a snort.

Hengzhi was the only one left in the tent.

The weather in June is unpredictable. As night fell, the humidity outside gradually increased and there were signs of a thunderstorm.

The sound of rain was heard, and the table was littered with the odds and ends he had taken off when he undressed. Heng Qi walked back to the table, casually held the talisman that commanded the entire army of Kezhou in his hand, and slowly began to think.

The sudden appearance of these spies in Kezhou Camp, the news of the blockade of Qing County, the sudden attack of Youbei, and the news of Yuanzhou where the army was approaching but no fighting had been reported.

The capital city has been slow to approve military pay.

When the military situation at the border was mentioned at a banquet at the end of the year, the new emperor looked hesitant.

An absurd yet completely reasonable idea suddenly occurred to Hengzhi.

Seemingly, one thing after another, with no connection, slowly pieced together, it is like a game of chess that confuses the players involved, until they walk into it personally, and then they discover some signs.

This hand, seemingly far away in the capital, stirring up the stagnant water in the officialdom, was inadvertently accelerating the demise of Da Chong.

If all this was really as he thought at the moment, Hengzhi slowly clenched the talisman until the protruding edges caused dull pain in his palms.

An equally absurd thought, like a weed, grew little by little in his mind.

I have endured for so long, in the past it was for the sake of the people in Kezhou living and working in peace and contentment, and to avoid the destruction of war. Now, even self-protection has become a problem, why should I endure it any longer?

He used to be a minister, but for the sake of military pay, he bent down and flattered the monarch.

But now, it will no longer be the case.

When Shi Ding, Chao Xu and Duan Can entered the tent, they could already hear faint sounds of thunder.

The three of them lined up in a row, standing very awkwardly behind the desk where Hengzhi was writing, pushing and shoving each other, and no one spoke a word.

Hengzhi had just finished writing an official document regarding the allocation of funds to aid merchants on East Street. Seeing that the visitor had been silent for a long time, he put down his pen, glanced at the three people with his eyes as clear as a pond, and leaned back in the chair behind him.

The three men in the army could not hide their anxiety and longing on their faces, but no one dared to speak out first, and they felt very uncomfortable.

"You won't say anything?" Heng Zhi asked. The three of them were stunned, but they still seemed to be hesitant to speak. Heng Zhi packed up the dagger and the token, along with the ointment given by Gong Yangliang and the key to the private vault box that Ah Yi gave him to keep, and pretended to leave. "Then I will..."

"Governor!"

Duan Can still couldn't help it, and knelt on his knees with a muffled sound, "Please forgive me, Governor! There are some things that Duan Can can't help but say! I, Da Chong, will have this battle with You Bei sooner or later. Today, even General Yuan Wei, who had disappeared long ago, has come out to fight again. Yuanzhou is in trouble. I have been waiting in the army for several years, so I am no less capable than him. I dare to ask the Governor to follow the original plan and let me lead troops to reinforce General Li!"

"Your servants also request reinforcements!" Shi Ding also agreed.

The original plan Duan Can mentioned was the previous deployment of Kezhou. If the troops arrived in Kezhou, the training would be very effective, and even under the order of Hengzhi, the combat capability of Kezhou Camp would be very different in terms of combat readiness and combat capability. Fight the most useful battle with the least loss, and then just fight.

The court's failure to provide supplies has not been a one- or two-day dilemma. We cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater. At most, we can spend money to buy food and armor in Yuanzhou, but we will not let the Youbei people attack Louguan.

Moreover, the terrain of Yuanzhou, combined with the experience of using troops in the past, is better at defense than fighting. If Youbei's troops reach Yuanzhou, then we will send troops to reinforce them.

The emperor is cruel. These two states are back to back and they cannot abandon each other.

"There's no rush. Wait a little longer." Heng Zhi said in a deep voice.

Still waiting?

Upon hearing this, Duan Can jumped up from the ground in a hurry, "Governor, at this point, what are we waiting for!"

Chao Xu was in charge of general affairs, and he was more thoughtful than Duan Can, who was straightforward. He stopped him and said, "Old Duan, you must not be rude in front of the governor. Let him finish what he has to say first."

If you say there is no rush, then there will naturally be plans for the time being.

"General Yuan Wei is a good general. It was my father's fault that he was not kept before. Now that he is willing to join the army again, it is only natural to spare no effort to keep him. This is not forced by the war."

Chao Xu nodded in agreement and agreed with it deeply.

Duan Shen sighed, "I was reckless, I was just afraid that the governor had a favorite general and would not need me anymore."

"Nonsense." Heng Qi scolded, "If you do it again, I'll deduct two years' salary from you."

"But what exactly is the Governor's plan?" Shi Ding frowned, feeling unsure. "It would be better for us to know what's going on. We can't fight a war without preparation."

"Everyone." Heng Zhi smiled faintly, but there was no kindness in his eyes. His eyes were like a frozen lake, turning cold overnight. "How about I make a bet with you?"

The three of them looked at each other, confused.

"I bet that this war cannot be fought."
