The spring sun is bright and the warmth is cozy on the skin.
Wan Jinlan wore a short-sleeved shirt and rode his horse to Xiaping Village to find Doctor Li.
Doctor Li was drying medicinal herbs in the yard. He lowered his eyelids when he saw her.
Wan Jinlan handed over several pounds of meat cut in the town and two large black fish tied with straw ropes to Doctor Li's wife.
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Madam, why are you so polite? Let's go today. I'll cook some rabbit meat. You can stay and eat some with me."
Wan Jinlan did not refuse, "Thank you very much, Auntie."
Mrs. Li took it and went to the kitchen to get busy. Wan Jinlan extended his arm to Doctor Li and said, "Thank you for your help."
Madam Li took the pulse and said nothing. She stood up and went back to the house to get a porcelain bottle. "Three times a day, six pills each time."
Wan Jinlan opened the wooden stopper wrapped in red cloth on the porcelain bottle and saw small brown medicine bowls inside. This was much more convenient than drinking soup medicine.
"Thank you very much."
Li Fugui nodded and then asked, "Has Doctor Liu not returned yet?"
Wan Jinlan nodded and said, "It should be soon. The battles on the front are almost over. He has made great contributions this time and should have a bright future. Doctor Li, aren't you a little envious?"
Li Fugui glanced at her with his small eyes, knowing that she was trying to find out his background, and snorted, "I'm doing well now, there's no need for you to envy me."
Wan Jinlan chuckled and said bluntly, "I have an errand here. Yue Feng is easy to talk to. If you are willing to come, I will definitely treat you as a guest of honor."
Li Fugui, still rummaging through the herbs, flatly refused, "You'd better ask someone else for help."
Wan Jinlan was not discouraged. Doctor Li was very skilled in medicine. If he rejected her this time, she could just come again next time.
The rabbit meat cooked by Madam Li was indeed delicious. After having dinner at Doctor Li's house, Wan Jinlan rode his horse back to the mountain stronghold.
After getting off the horse and returning to the mountain stronghold, he saw Li Dazhuang and his men, who were both of considerable size.
Wang Shu saw her and stepped forward with a grin, "Meet the Madam."
Seeing this, Wan Jinlan understood what was going on.
Li Dazhuang and others took her to see the goods. The goods had been piled up in the back mountain, together with the place where the iron ore was stored, and piled under the shed outside the workshop.
Wang Shu talked about what happened along the way. He had been investigating the copper mine for many days and found a breakthrough from the mouths of the miners he bribed. He bribed a manager of the mine and spent two thousand taels just on bribery and gifts. He used the remaining four thousand taels to buy more than eighteen hundred kilograms of copper.
Wang Shu said: "We were almost robbed on the way back, luckily we had more brothers."
Everything is ready, except Uncle Lu.
After a great victory on the front line, the emperor would send people to reward the three armies, but after the war, Li Wei, the governor of Liangzhou, also held a celebration banquet and rewarded the troops according to their merits.
The three sons of the Li family were all praised this time, but the eldest son, Li Bozhen, became the one who made the least contribution among the three brothers.
Li Yanfeng had the merit of resettling refugees and recommending Liu Langzhong to treat the epidemic. Li Yue was even more brave and good at fighting, and his performance was outstanding. He was commended by Li Wei in front of all the soldiers.
Xiao Feng, who was sitting at the end of the table, watched the three brothers' quarrel without any expression.
Thinking of the news from Xia Feng, he already knew that Wan Jinlan had returned safely, and a faint smile flashed across his eyes.
Xiao Feng has already caught Li Wei's eye. Although he is not his confidant, in Li Wei's eyes, he is a general who is capable of fighting, brave and resourceful, and can be used in the future. The fact that he can now sit at the last seat as a lieutenant general also speaks volumes.
Li Wei was clear about rewards and punishments, and had a burly figure. After experiencing bloody battles, he had a murderous aura. Compared with Emperor Jian'an who sat in the temple, they were obviously of similar age, but one looked very old, while the other looked vigorous and vigorous.
Xiao Feng couldn't help but think of Emperor Jian'an, and a gloomy light appeared in his eyes.
After the celebration banquet, Li Yanfeng sent someone to invite Xiao Feng to his house for a small gathering, under the pretext of letting him come to see his nephew.
Xia Feng now follows Li Yanfeng every day, giving him advice. He has participated in a series of matters related to the resettlement of refugees this time, and is highly valued by Li Yanfeng.
When they met again, Li Yanfeng's attitude towards Xiao Feng was no longer comparable to before. He was much more polite. After all, Xiao Feng now had three thousand troops under his command. In fact, if you counted carefully, there were more than three thousand.
The casualties in this battle included not only ordinary soldiers, but also low-ranking and high-ranking officers. Li Mazi and others brought by Xiao Feng also won many military merits because of their bravery, and became low-ranking officers and mixed in the army. There were nearly two thousand people in total.
"Brother Song is truly courageous and resourceful. This young master has impressed me with his courage and wisdom."
As soon as Xiao Feng entered the hall, he knelt on one knee very respectfully, "This humble general greets you, sir."
Compared to the hatred between him and Emperor Jian'an, and compared to everything he wanted to give to Wan Jinlan, lowering his status now was nothing.
Li Yanfeng's eyes showed satisfaction. He took two quick steps to the front and helped the man up with a smile. "Brother Song, please get up and take a seat. You have worked hard for several months. It's time to relax and have some fun."
Li Yanfeng saw a hideous scar where Xiao Feng's shoulder and neck met and sighed, "Brother Song's neck wound is truly shocking. It is my honor to meet a brave and skilled warrior like Brother Song."
While Li Yanfeng was speaking, the maidservant filled the glasses of wine for everyone, and Li Yanfeng drank first as a gesture of respect.
Xia Feng fanned himself sourly and said, "Young Master really values Brother Song. It makes me, a scholar, seem completely useless."
Li Yanfeng laughed heartily, "You two, one is a scholar and the other a warrior. It is my honor to have met you."
Xiao Feng looked solemn and clasped his fists, saying, "Sir, you are too kind. It is only because of you that I have this opportunity. I should be the one to thank you."
Xiao Feng poured three glasses of wine in a row and drank them all.
For a moment, both the host and the guests were happy.
When the atmosphere was just right, Li Yanfeng asked with a smile: "Song Yi, you are not young anymore, you should have been married, right?"
Xiao Feng had thought about this question a long time ago, and he didn't want to hide Wan Jinlan's existence. He nodded and said, "I have a wife, but we got separated on the way to Liangzhou."
Li Yanfeng narrowed his eyes, "With Brother Song's ability, how could he let his wife get lost?"
Xiao Feng showed an expression that was difficult to speak, and looked at Xia Feng with embarrassment.
Li Yanfeng said: "If you have something to say, feel free to say it. We are all family."
Xiao Feng closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly and said, "My wife and I have been married for many years, but we have no children. It is because of my illness."
"If she wants to leave, why should I stop her?"
Li Yanfeng was shocked and a little unconvinced, but from his expression, he didn't seem to be lying to him.
His father rewarded Li Wei with a house today, and he was planning to send a few beautiful concubines there, both to win him over and to keep an eye on him.
But no man would bring up this aspect.
Li Yanfeng clapped his hands, and a group of dancers in cool clothes walked in, stretching their bodies.
