My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

The next day.

When it was daybreak, many mountain people had already brought herbs to the city to sell.

Ever since Wei Cheng began to purchase a large amount of herbs, the mountain people in all parts of Hedong County have lived a good life.

Due to the hundreds of stones of medicinal herbs every month, many villages have even specialized in herbal cultivation.

Of course, herbal medicine has a long growth cycle and without a certain material basis, the mountain people dare not waste that time to open a medicine garden.

All of this is also due to the stable food prices in Hedong County, allowing the mountain people to try the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine without worrying about food and drink. As long as they register with the health office, they will be given a variable amount of subsidies every year.

After passing the city gate tower, the vision in front of me suddenly opened up.

On both sides of the street, there are a variety of shops, there are incense pavilions selling rouge and gouache, there are cloth shops selling brocade and silk, there are shops selling money, rice, oil and salt, there are medical clinics that help people see doctors, and more are inns. , restaurant, snack bar.

Gollum~
The two teachers and sisters stood in front of a shop specializing in lamb offal and steamed buns, and the offal soup steaming on the wood-burning stove was fragrant.

The proprietress was a woman in her early forties, holding a bowl in her left hand and a spoon in her right hand, and said warmly, "You two ladies, would you like a bowl of offal soup?"

The gray-eyed woman glanced at her junior sister, pressed down on her bamboo hat, and asked, "How do you sell this broth?"

The proprietress neatly served a bowl of soup, "It's not expensive, ten cents."

"Ten Wen?!" The little junior sister exclaimed, "It's not expensive anymore!"

The gray-eyed woman also frowned slightly, and touched the purse at her waist, only six or seven copper coins were left in it.

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, but instead of scolding the two of them, she took a look at their clothes and said tentatively, "You don't look like girls from poor families. You must have encountered some difficulties, right?"

Needless to say, the two teachers and sisters were wearing serious Sichuan brocade and cotton shoes, even though they were a little dirty, they could still tell they were rich.

Before the gray-eyed woman could speak, the proprietress sighed softly, and said with sad eyes: "Forget it, forget it, I'll give you two bowls for free, and it's a good start for today."

As he said that, he filled another bowl of offal soup, and specially put a little more shredded sheep tripe, and put it on the low table next to the previous bowl, and said to the two with a smile: "This broth is free of charge. , no more steamed buns."

The gray-eyed girl and her junior sister looked at each other in blank dismay.

The proprietress urged angrily: "Sit down and eat, what are you doing in a daze, you dislike my craftsmanship?"

Gollum~
Little Junior Sister's face was flushed, she was really hungry, and her stomach kept growling.

The gray-eyed woman hesitated for a moment, and then bowed to the proprietress with her fists in the palm of her hand. She didn't say any words of thanks, but she had already made up her mind that after she completed the task assigned by her master, she must come to repay today's kindness.

"Sister?"

"Sit down and eat."

The gray-eyed woman said softly: "The grace of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, and you must keep it in your heart."

The little junior sister licked her chapped lips, nodded her head again and again, she sat down, picked up a spoon and started to gobble it up, as to whether she listened to her words, it was probably doubtful.

While the two were eating, the small shop welcomed a few more regular customers.

As soon as a woman came in, she put on her apron by herself, and urged the proprietress: "Second sister, the time will be right soon, you have to hurry up to see Dalang off, and I will go to Dingjunfang here to stop talking for a while." fragrant."

The proprietress handed her the big spoon in her hand, and said anxiously: "I can't help it, I'm too busy to take my time."

The woman took the spoon and greeted the newcomer, saying, "Don't be reluctant to spend money, just hire a rickshaw."

The proprietress looked towards the clock tower and nodded, "Okay, I'll be extravagant today."

Seeing this, several diners nearby jokingly said, "Where is Second Aunt going? I heard that the Longshan Army is going to send troops again. Is this going to help your Dalang?"

"Oh, it's Er Niang's fate. Both sons are serving in the army, and the eldest is still the small captain of the Longshan Army. After returning from this expedition, he must be promoted again."

"The next level should be the platoon leader. If you don't say that you are in charge of No. 30 people, you can be regarded as an official."

"It doesn't matter whether you are an official or not. We in Anyi don't care about official status. The main reason is that the salary and benefits have been increased. I heard that every time the Longshan Army is promoted, all the benefits will be doubled."

"Tsk tsk, then I really want to congratulate Second Aunt. When your eldest son comes back, I'm afraid the threshold of the house will be trampled by matchmakers, hahaha..."

Listening to the ridicule of the neighbors in the neighborhood, the proprietress's heart was full of joy, and her face was smiling from ear to ear.

"Then I have to honor everyone's good words. If my Dalang is really promoted in the future, I will kill a sheep and invite everyone to have a whole sheep feast."

The proprietress happily dealt with it, and hurriedly brought out the package she had prepared earlier from behind. Inside were two pairs of cloth shoes with mille-soled soles, and some close-fitting inner linings and socks, all of which were prepared for her son.

"rickshaw!"

A rickshaw happened to pass by, and the proprietress hurriedly stopped her, "Go to Dingjunfang."

The middle-aged man on the bike smiled and said, "Is there someone in the eldest sister's family who works in the army?"

The proprietress got into the car, sat on the cushion of the sofa, raised her head and replied, "Yes, my Dalang is the small captain of the Longshan Army."

"Yo, you're still a man from the Longshan Army, are you going?"

"Give the child some close-fitting, lined shoes and socks. Isn't this going to war again?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he laughed and said, "That's a good relationship. The elder sister sits down firmly. There is a long way to go from here."

Suddenly the rickshaw shook.

"Hey, you startled me, what are you two doing here?" The proprietress exclaimed, and found that the two little girls had also boarded the car.

The gray-eyed woman coughed lightly in embarrassment, pressed the bamboo hat on her head, and said, "Don't blame me, auntie, my sister and I are going to Dingjunfang to find someone, please take us along the way."

The proprietress frowned.

On the other hand, the middle-aged man on the bike glanced back at the saber on the gray-eyed woman's waist, nodded and said, "Big sister, just take them with you. Don't worry, I won't charge you for this trip... I just want to Go and admire the magnificent scene of the army going out."

"..."

The proprietress looked at the two gray-eyed women with a speechless face. They came early in the morning to eat and drink, and now they are still rubbing their car. Should it be said that they are ignorant of world affairs, or are they really cool?

···
Dingjunfang.

Wei Cheng stood on the top floor of the watchtower, holding a copper monocular in his hand, and was observing the formation on the square.

The magnification of this telescope is not high, and it is an imitation handicraft. The barrel body is made of brass and leather. The lens inside can achieve up to four times the zoom. It is too far away to see clearly, but it is good to take it out for a kilometer or two to hold a pen. .

"Young master, let me take a look too!"

Wei Cheng put down the binoculars, looked back at Zhang Fei who couldn't wait, as well as silver carp and Huang Xu, and said with a smile: "Here, here you are, looking at your worthless appearance, isn't it just a binoculars."

Handing the telescope to Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei hastily took it with both hands, and said with a smile: "Clairvoyance, this is it. If you can climb high and look far in battle, you will be able to predict the enemy's opportunities with this object."

"Progress, don't you still have the eyes of the sky, isn't it better than this?"

Wei Cheng was talking about drones, which is no secret among the top management.

Several people shook their heads when they heard the words, Xu Huang said: "Young master, the eye of the sky is the eye of the sky, and the clairvoyance is the clairvoyance. The sky eye is too difficult to operate and has a service life. If it is a long-term battle, I personally think clairvoyance is more practical."

Wei Cheng chuckled and did not refute. The so-called service life is actually the battery life. Although the battery life of DJI is already the industry benchmark, the battery life of about 10 minutes is still unable to meet the needs of the battlefield, unless you bring a few more batteries. , or buy a military version.

dong dong dong~
While speaking, the deafening sound of drumming came from the square.

Xu Ding took out his pocket watch to check the time, turned around and shouted to the generals: "It's getting late, Zhang Fei, Hua Chuan, Huang Zhong."

"Here!" The three of them stepped forward at the same time.

Xu Ding looked at Wei Cheng, Wei Cheng nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.

Xu Ding didn't hold back, stepped forward, and distributed the tiger talisman among the three, saying: "Specially order Zhang Fei to lead the [-] Longshan army as the forward, the flower carp to lead the [-] city guards to fight together, and Huang Zhong to lead the [-] Longxi guards." Follow the orders of the military commander."

Hearing the word military division, everyone looked at Xun Yu behind Wei Cheng at the same time.

With a smile on his face, Xun Yu took a step forward, bowed his hands in greeting, and said, "Please give me your advice."

Zhang Fei and Hua Chuan were familiar with him, and they all laughed. Huang Zhong didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly clasped his fists in salute, and saluted him.

This was Longxiwei's first real action. As the coach and commander-in-chief of Longxiwei, Huang Zhong felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, and he was afraid that he would fail Wei Cheng's expectations.

On the contrary, Huang Xu, Tai Shici, and Yang Feng looked cheerful. They had all participated in the battle of the Longshan Army, and they were not afraid of this operation, not to mention full of confidence.

Mainly everyone's equipment has been upgraded.

The special weapons custom-made by Wei Cheng were already in place, and Xu Huang, Zhang Fei and others were all equipped with the latest weapons, while their previous weapons were distributed to their respective apprentices.

Incidentally, Wei Cheng's 'water gun' was also given to Sima Yi.

Whether it should be said or not, this apprentice finally recognized it. If he didn't teach well in the future, Wei Cheng could only kill his relatives righteously.

dong dong dong~
The sound of the drums suddenly became louder, because Xun Yu, Zhang Fei, Hua Chuan, and Huang Zhong had already stepped down from the watchtower and stood on the high platform of the square, doing routine encouragement before the battle.

With his hands behind his back, Wei Cheng stood by the railing, overlooking the neat square formation, feeling a sense of pride in his heart.

A total of ten months before and after, he already had such a strong army.

[-] city guards, [-] Longshan troops, [-] Longxi guards, and the same number of over [-] city guards. At first glance, it seems that there are not many, but don't forget the existence of stab-proof suits and thermal weapons.

If you have the heart, the five hundred dragon guards can take Luoyang unscathed, and even quietly kill Dong Feifei who is immersed in the gentle village...

"what?"

"how."

Xu Huang put down the binoculars in his hand, pointed at a house in the southeast of the square downstairs, frowned and said, "Just now, two figures sneaked in over the wall."

Wei Cheng looked at the house, and said indifferently: "It should be two thieves who sneaked in while taking advantage of the family's see-off team, let them grab it and turn it over to the guard, don't make too much noise , so as not to disturb the swearing-in meeting."

Xu Huang clasped his fists and saluted, then turned and left.

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, and looked at the house curiously. Although it was a little far away, he could see two figures hiding behind the bushes in the corner of the backyard, looking around vigilantly.

Wei Cheng didn't expect that there would be a thief who dared to break into Dingjunfang. He really had the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard. The next moment, he suddenly frowned.

"It's not... bad!"

···
Bang!
The closed door suddenly opened by itself, and the expression of the second daughter who was hiding behind the bushes changed in fright.

"Is it Xiaobai?" Zhang Xiu's hoarse voice came from inside the room.

The gray-eyed woman frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, got up and walked to the middle of the yard, and performed a strange courtesy, "Greetings to Master Uncle."

At this time, the sergeants in the square outside were shouting enthusiastically, 'We must win, we must win', but the small courtyard separated by the wall was like a world of ice and snow. The gray-eyed woman raised her eyes to look at the empty main room, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

Zhang Xiu didn't know where he was, his voice seemed to be everywhere, coming from all directions.

"Seeing you appear here, the old man is almost sure of his previous guess." He seemed to be talking to himself, and then laughed at himself, saying: "You should have found it for the book."

The gray-eyed woman knelt on the ground, with her hands level with her forehead, not daring to move the slightest bit, she replied in a deep voice: "Master Uncle, the Human Book is a secret book in the sect, it is of great importance, it must be left outside, I must take it back. "

Zhang Xiu laughed out loud, as if he had heard a big joke. After playing for a long time, he said teasingly: "When did this record of strange men become the secret book of ghosts? ?”

The gray-eyed woman's expression changed, and after thinking for a while, she bowed her hands together and said solemnly: "The human book has always been the secret book of the sect, and I ask my uncle to take the overall situation into consideration."

Hearing the words, Zhang Xiu sneered contemptuously, and the voice came from far and near, "You are still such a solid-minded child. You always spare no effort to complete what she instructs you to do. Do you respect her so much?"

A trace of struggle flashed in the eyes of the gray-eyed woman.

Zhang Xiu continued: "Thinking about it now, your life experience is very pitiful. Your gray pupils are very special. I have lived for more than 100 years, and I have only seen them in the eyes of two people."

The body of the gray-eyed woman shook, and she looked at the empty main room with fear and hope, wanting to ask who those two people were.

It's a pity that there is only a set of simple tables and chairs in the room, a landscape painting is hung on the wall opposite the door, and a few scrolls of bamboo slips and a potted pine tree are placed on the table under the scroll.

Zhang Xiu's voice continued to be near and far away: "You should go back. With the means of the two of you, I can't persuade the old man, let alone the phantom spirit fragrance on your body. Don't you know that the phantom spirit fragrance Was it created by the old man when he was young?"

The gray-eyed woman frowned slightly, and looked up at the little junior sister who was slowly moving towards the main hall while leaning on the courtyard wall. To be precise, it was a short incense that the little junior sister had lit in her hand. Entering the illusion, seeing a strange world.

"Senior sister, you continue to distract him, I secretly... Hey, senior sister, why did you fly... Wow, there are many senior sisters in the sky..."

Zhang Xiu: "..."

The gray-eyed woman: "..."
