Chapter 212
Tian Wuruo still couldn't get out of bed and walk around, occasionally Zhuo Ran would go to talk to him about something, mainly because of Nie Hanshan.

Zhuo Ran didn't like talking about it with Tian Wuruo, so she just said a few words before diverting the matter away, and quickly moved on to the next topic.What was strange to Zhuo Ran was that since sending Fu Sisi and Tian Wuruo back that day, Nie Hanshan had never contacted Zhuo Ran again, and it was impossible for Zhuo Ran to find him in person.

Fu Sisi's injury was almost healed, Mu Heng sent someone to bring the medicine to Fu Sisi, and the next moment he directly pulled Zhuo Ran to the kitchen, staring at her to finish the medicine.

"It's been four or five days, why do you still want to drink?" Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, "I'm fine now."

"Are you a doctor or am I a doctor?" Mu Heng pushed the medicine bowl in front of her, "I didn't let you drink three meals a day, it's a grace, even if my master will arrive soon, but before that, you still have to drink it." listen to me."

Zhuo Ran sighed, and still didn't intend to drink it up, but when he mentioned Mu Heng's master, Zhuo Ran took advantage of it to talk about it for a long time.

"I've never heard you talk about your master. Don't you live in Suicheng? How did you meet a doctor in Nanjiang? Or did you go to study there specifically?" Zhuo Ran said, "He's not a good talker. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to accept apprentices."

Mu Heng said: "At that time, my father sent me to a doctor in Nanjiang. To be honest, my grandfather was also a doctor in Nanjiang, but when he was young, he encountered some things. I hurt a good man who was framed, and my grandfather felt very sorry and didn't want to stay in Nanjiang anymore, so he came to Suicheng, and we have been living in Suicheng since then, and even opened an inn. My master, in fact He is the apprentice of my grandfather and senior brother, and he treated me very well. My father didn’t want my grandfather’s medical successor to be left behind, so he sent me to southern Xinjiang. With this relationship, I was safe and smooth in southern Xinjiang. Some furs, but when I returned to Suicheng, I ran into you and saved you by mistake."

Zhuo Ran smiled: "This is still called a mistake? Why are you so humble? The skills of doctors in Nanjiang are something that others can't learn even if they want to."

"But I still can't help you," Mu Heng sighed, "I still need Master to come and see, otherwise I'm afraid I will delay you."

"Mu Heng, don't think about these things anymore, I'm fine now." Zhuo Ran said, "You're so kind to me, it makes me feel like I'm delaying you."

Mu Heng shook his head. She wanted to say something more, but found that Zhuo Ran quietly pushed the medicine bowl aside, and suddenly realized that Zhuo Ran was deliberately consuming it.Mu Heng stopped talking, tapped his fingers on the table, and looked at Zhuo Ran with raised eyebrows.

"Okay, I'll drink it." Zhuo Ran smiled helplessly, and finished drinking the medicine with the bowl in both hands.

Mu Heng took the medicine bowl from her, turned around and put the medicine bowl on the chopping board. Before Zhuo Ran got up, Wu Song rushed in, crying, "Sister, something is wrong!"

"What's so alarming about?"

"Sister! Bayer... Bayer has come to Yongzhou!" Wu Song shouted loudly.

"what!"

In the next few days, Li Xunchuan traveled a bit slower, but fortunately, he did not delay the process.The number of guards at Dingbei Pass doubled, and Li Yunchuan couldn't help frowning.

Qi Du couldn't help being taken aback when he saw Li Yanchuan, and invited him in first.Seeing his puzzled expression, Li Xunchuan laughed and said, "What's the matter, you don't even know who I am these days?"

Qi Du shook his head: "No. Lord Hou, I'm just wondering why you came back? Is Yongzhou taking care of everything?"

Li Xunchuan frowned: "What did Yongzhou take care of?"

"Master Hou didn't receive Xiong Zhenghao's letter?"

Li Xunchuan said: "Received. Didn't you say that Bayer came to Beili? There is nothing going on in Yongzhou for the time being, so I will come back and have a look first."

Qi Du's face immediately became terrified, he bent over and saluted: "Master Hou, let's go back to Yongzhou as soon as possible."

Li Xunchuan raised his hand, frowned and said, "Speak clearly."

Qi Du said anxiously: "Xiong Zhenghao sent the letter to Lord Hou half a month ago. Now Bayer is not in Beili, but has gone to Yongzhou. Xiong Zhenghao sent someone to send the letter to Lord Hou quickly. Didn't Lord Marquis receive the last letter?"

Li Xunchuan shook his head: "I only received one... You said Bayer went to Yongzhou? How did you know?"

"Xiong Zhenghao led people to track Bayer from Beili, and found that he bypassed the border and did not meet Agamula, but they didn't dare to take it lightly, so they lurked for a few days, and finally found that Bayer's target was not there. Tuzhou, so I guessed that he wanted to attack Yongzhou. It seems that the letter had an accident on the way and did not reach Lord Hou..." Qi Du said, "It's also my fault, I should send someone to try to stop it halfway Lord Hou's."

Li Xunchuan's heart was beating like a drum, and Xiong Zheng must have guessed right.There is Zisha Hall and Wuli in Tuzhou now, it is impossible for Bayer to get in, the most likely place is Yongzhou.Now in Yongzhou... Nie Hanshan may not be able to really help Zhuo Ran, and there are not many people around her. If Bayer really wants to go to Yongzhou, I am afraid that Zhuo Ran and the others will be injured.

"Master Hou... The matter of Nanqing is very important, Master Hou should go back quickly." Qi Du frowned, "According to the distance calculation, Baier should have arrived in Yongzhou by now."

Li Xunchuan clenched his hands tightly.He really suspected that someone was playing with him.It is difficult to march on the road in winter, so he can't stand it, let alone these forbidden troops.Li Xunchuan took a few deep breaths, and still ordered in a deep voice, to go back the same way.

He didn't dare to trust her, even if he was tricked, he didn't dare to let Zhuo Ran face danger alone.

After Nie Hanshan knew about this, he was not overly surprised or worried, but just looked at Zhuo Ran, wondering what Zhuo Ran was thinking.Zhuo Ran said in a deep voice: "Bayer has set up camp outside the city, and may attack at any time. Now we should think about how to defend the city."

"I'm talking about Nanqing..." Nie Hanshan said, "Zishatang was left in Tuzhou by you, and now you don't have a single soldier. This matter is very difficult."

He didn't mention his subordinates, he told Zhuo Ran clearly that he had to do this, and Zhuo Ran asked him for help.Zhuo Ran didn't mean to ask him, but just said: "No matter what happened, the boss still thinks that I'm not enough to be trusted?"

"What Nanqing said," Nie Hanshan smiled, "I have no right to refuse Nanqing's order. But I have only a few people under my command, so I'm afraid it's not enough to resist Bayer. Bayer is Who is he, he is the prime candidate for Wu Ge Yuan Jian, aren't we just hitting a rock?"

"The big boss means that we just sit and wait for death?" Zhuo Ran smiled, "Then this matter cannot be left to the big boss. After Baier enters the city, he will only kill you and me. If the big boss wants to say anything else, he can No chance."

"I didn't say that."

Zhuo Ran said in a deep voice: "The head of the family must know that to deal with these matters, of course a professional person should come. I heard that the head of the house has a military adviser. I wonder if he can be invited to give us some advice?"

Nie Hanshan raised his eyebrows: "Nan Qing...is really amazing."

"It's not difficult to know these things." Zhuo Ran said in a low voice, "The military adviser has been with my father, so he naturally knows how to fight. We, a group of inexperienced people, can't put our lives in vain."

Nie Hanshan nodded: "Yes. But Nanqing has to promise me one thing. If Nanqing wins this match, she needs to fulfill my request."

Zhuo Ran stood up: "As long as there is life to live, I will definitely promise you."

Zhuo Ran hadn't seen this military advisor for a long time.When the two met, Zhuo Ran didn't mention the past, but just asked him what he thought.The military adviser's name is Wang Heng.

"Don't you ask me why I'm here at Nie Hanshan?" Wang Heng and Zhuo Ran talked about it for a while, then suddenly asked.

Zhuo Ran was slightly taken aback: "Senior, are you willing to say anything?"

"I did it...to have a vigorous fight with the ancient Qiang people." Wang Heng looked at Zhuo Ran, "I was the one who brought Nanqing here earlier."

Zhuo Ran nodded: "I know."

"Your father is not that kind of person. They are all hearsay. Now that you are here, I hope you can figure out the past and justify your father's name." Wang Heng said, "It was just a hasty meeting with you back then."

"Senior...does senior know what happened back then?" Zhuo Ran said, "Father was framed?"

Wang Heng said: "I actually participated in the Battle of Jixi, but it was delayed by some things before. I went to your father three days before the incident. Your father told me that walls have ears, so I knew there were people in the camp. It’s just that the battle with the ancient Qiang should not be careless, and this matter cannot be made public to affect morale, so your father plans to use his tricks and secretly eliminate them at the banquet. One step, but something happened..."

Zhuo Ran frowned slightly: "Is it Liao He?"

Wang Heng nodded: "Yes. At the banquet, the few of them behaved the same. Your father wanted to do something, but he heard him mention Yongzhou. The words were threatening, meaning that Zhou Yu and you are now In their hands, tell your father not to act rashly. Your father naturally understood what it meant, so he temporarily changed his plan and sent a letter from his family back to Yongzhou, only to let Liao He find out that he also sent a letter to Gaodu. I thought that a short wait would be successful, but I didn’t expect them to kill the Zhuo’s army in the camp. No matter how powerful your father is, he couldn’t save everyone. Liao He sent a poisonous powder and took your father away. I was I was ordered by your father to go to investigate the Pingxi mountain stream, escaped unharmed, and found something was wrong when I returned to the camp. Without the leader, although the Zhuo family army is capable of fighting on its own, it is still a little powerless. After the battle, the Zhuo family army was defeated. I retreated all the way to Yongzhou and witnessed the so-called massacre in Yongzhou City with my own eyes. When I was exhausted, someone saved my life. After wandering around for many years, I discovered the cold mountain king in Yongzhou City, so I stayed here and wanted to take the opportunity Knowing the current situation, I heard the news that Zhuo Ting's daughter Zhuo Ran entered the capital. I wanted to go back to Gaodu City, but it was not a good time, and it might speed up your death, so I didn't go. Yongzhou has not been peaceful these years , I have been staying here, and now when you come, I will tell these things, and I will fulfill one of my wishes."

Zhuo Ran shook his head: "Senior can tell me this, it is already a great kindness. Now that Liao He is dead, what I want to do is actually meaningless, but apart from rectifying my father's name, I must do it of."

"I believe you too." Wang Heng said, "But Nanqing, I still want to remind you that Nie Hanshan is not a kind person. If you want to join forces with him, you will inevitably suffer. Nanqing doesn't have any People, Nie Hanshan is likely to tie Nanqing with this, Nanqing must be careful in everything."

Zhuo Ran curled her lips into a smile: "He doesn't want to die at the hands of the ancient Qiang people either."

Wang Heng said sternly: "There are still some gunpowder in the city. They can block them in the first round. Later, Nanqing will come by himself. The tactics are only auxiliary. The ancient Qiang people should not be underestimated, so we have to do it." Be well prepared. I remember that Lord Hou just left Yongzhou... I don’t know when he will come back."

Zhuo Ran frowned: "Actually, I don't expect him to come back. The road is difficult, and he really shouldn't run around anymore. The nearest to us is Xinzhou. I don't know if General Ye can come to help. It's just that the letter has been sent now. I'm afraid it will be a little late."

Wang Heng said: "Xinzhou cannot be touched. Xiqi has not fully agreed to Nanqing, and Xinzhou is not very peaceful. Ye Ji must have no skills in Xinzhou. This time it is a game between Bayer and Nanqing. He deliberately lured Lord Hou to go north, the purpose is to win Yongzhou, and not confront him head-on, this is what he wants. Once Lord Hou finds out that there is a fraud, he will come back as soon as possible, so we Just drag it on, until Lord Hou comes back."

Zhuo Ran smiled: "Bayer is afraid of Lord Hou. Then I will delay it and let Lord Hou come to take revenge in person."

Wang Heng narrowed his eyes: "Revenge?"

"To be honest, the Marquis' parents were killed by Agamula and Bayer." Zhuo Ran said, "Maybe Bayer didn't go too far, but he shouldn't focus on attacking Dayu. That's his fault."

Wang Heng nodded: "That's true. But Bayer is not so easy to deal with. If Nan Qing wants to delay, he has to think about what to do with the people in the city."

"The people in the city arrange them to a hidden place first," Zhuo Ran said, "all gather in a dark place, those who are willing to guard the city gate can go, and those who don't want to guard it, I have my own way. But, according to the footsteps, Master Hou is already on the way back, and he only needs to stay for three days. Just three days..."

Wang Heng nodded: "Should guard for three days... I'm afraid it will be really difficult. Baier is not so easy to deal with, Nan Qing, think it over."

Zhuo Ran said: "This is the place my father has guarded all his life, can't I guard it for three days?"
