Chapter 2705 Young Couple
The emperor had been working at his desk until a palace servant came forward to light the lamp. He then raised his head. After his eyes adjusted for a moment, he couldn't help but rub the corners of his eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Zhong immediately stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty has been tired all day. Why don't you go out for a walk? It's getting dark, and it's not good for your eyes to see at night."
The emperor thought about it and felt his head was a little heavy, so he dropped his pen and stood up to walk out.
The emperor walked around the camp with his neck twisted. They had been fighting continuously for a while, and it was time to stop for a while, even for the sake of the soldiers' physical and mental health. That's why the emperor chose to deal with the backlog of affairs at this time and let everyone rest for a few days.
Of course, it was also because the several small cities below had surrendered directly, and they were busy taking over the cities and could not push the front line forward for the time being.
The emperor walked around the camp and was about to go to the medical tent to check on the wounded when he saw a familiar-looking man standing at the door.
It was getting dark, and the emperor's eyesight wasn't very good, so he squinted his eyes, pointed over there, and asked, "Is that Bai Shan?"
Gu Zhong took a look and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has good eyesight, it is Bai Sheren."
"It's almost dark. What is he doing there?"
The emperor was about to go forward with his hands behind his back when he saw four riders coming from a distance. A more familiar-looking man got off his horse, and Bai Shan went straight to meet him.
The emperor stopped.
Seeing his constipated look, Gu Zhong couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that Mr. Bai is waiting for Mr. Zhou."
The emperor muttered, "Who doesn't have a wife?"
But when he saw Zhou Man and the guard behind her carrying baskets, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "Are they going to collect herbs?"
Gu Zhong lowered his voice a few degrees, lowered his head and responded, then explained carefully, "I heard that the camp doesn't even have many herbs left to stop bleeding."
The emperor's good mood suddenly turned bad and his face turned gloomy.
Gu Zhong immediately stopped talking and carefully stepped aside.
Manbao and Baishan returned to the tent hand in hand. She asked Daji and the others to leave the backpack behind and then let them go.
It’s good to have a higher rank. In the army, even the lieutenant general has two people in one tent. There are only a few people who can have their own tent.
Manbao happens to be one.
Of course, when Bai Shan was around, he lived with her.
Bai Shan asked Manbao to wash his hands and eat, and he took out the things in the backpack.
Manbao was unwilling to do so. She squatted down, carefully took out a bag from her backpack, moved the food aside and placed it on the table.
Seeing her so serious, Bai Shan couldn't help but ask, "What's in it?"
Manbao opened it layer by layer, but there were only a few layers, just a piece of cloth. After opening it, she looked at Bai Shan and asked in a low voice, "Are you surprised or not?"
Bai Shan was stunned and nodded, "Surprise, unexpected."
He touched the ginseng on the cloth and asked in a low voice, "Is there any more in this thing? I'll go dig with you next time."
It's a joy to dig this kind of thing.
Manbao was troubled and asked him quietly, "Your Majesty, do you want to unite the troops and attack Anshi City? Or will you continue to divide the troops and march south?"
This is a military secret and Manbao doesn't know it at the time.
Bai Shan also lowered his voice and said, "We should unite our forces. We can't advance any further. Anshi City is stuck there. If we don't take it, the army can't advance south. If we divide our forces, they'll easily be cut off."
"How long will the battle for Anshi City last?"
Bai Shan shook his head. "Not necessarily. Many city defenders have fled. Anshi City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is also an important gateway to Goguryeo. I'm afraid they won't give up easily."
This means that they may need to remain in a stalemate for a long time, and Manbao will have time to search the mountains and fields for precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng.
Manbao then said, "Then we'll go dig when we have time."
But she wasn't sure if it was there, so she asked Keke, "If I include it for you, I'll ask you again, do you want points?"
Keke: "...No, hurry up and collect it. You haven't collected anything in the past two years. It's rare to make any money, and you're still procrastinating."
Keke said helplessly: "I can scan any species that can be included, whether it has been included or not."
Is this okay?
Koko was so considerate that Manbao happily asked it, "Has the main system stopped keeping an eye on you recently?"
"Well, I heard some rumors that they have discovered meteorites in similar conditions in other worlds and are trying to lure the hosts of those worlds to collect them. They probably won't be keeping an eye on us for a long time."
Manbao became more and more happy, and began to choose among the five ginseng roots. He would definitely not give the two thickest and strongest ones to the encyclopedia, and the remaining three...
Manbao compared them carefully, and finally picked up one and set it aside. Then he hesitated between the cut ginseng and the smaller one, "Tell me, which of these two should I give up?"
Bai Shan subconsciously asked, "Are you going to give it to His Majesty?"
Manbao immediately shook his head and whispered, "Your Majesty doesn't know about this, so there's no need to send it to him. Besides, they've captured so many cities, so it should be among the spoils, right?"
Bai Shan was surprised, "Is it for my father-in-law?"
Manbao was silent.
Bai Shan couldn't help but smile, and lowered his voice and asked, "Shouldn't you choose the best one for your father-in-law? Why did you choose the worst one?"
Manbao whispered: "It's not for him to use..."
She said vaguely, "I'm selling it."
Bai Shan also compared them, and finally pointed to the one with the broken whiskers and said, "This one, although two whiskers are broken, it looks pretty good."
Manbao picked it up and put it aside, then went to tidy up other plants. Bai Shan helped her. As they were busy, a soldier came to call Bai Shan, "Mr. Bai, His Majesty summons you."
Bai Shan looked outside and frowned slightly. It was already dark. He immediately stood up and said to Zhou Man, "Put your things away first. I'll go see what's going on."
Manbao was also surprised, "They won't break camp, right?"
Bai Shan said: "Well, it's dark now, so it shouldn't happen, but we still need to make some preparations."
Bai Shan went to see the emperor.
Manbao thought about it and decided to keep one copy of each of these things and collect all the others at once.
Then she wrapped the remaining ginseng and placed it in Koko's space before washing her hands and eating.
She took a steamed bun and ate it, then went out to look for someone.
Qibi Heli was not in the big tent. I heard that he was also called away by the emperor. Manbao returned to the tent sadly. It seemed that they really had to move camp.
Sure enough, when Bai Shan came back in the evening, he told Man Bao, "We'll break camp early tomorrow morning."
"Why so soon? Didn't you say you would stay here for a few more days?"
"Just now, a group of soldiers came from Duke Zhao's side. The siege there was not going smoothly, so His Majesty planned to combine the forces. All the wounded will be sent back to Baiyan City, and the rest will go to Anshi City to join them."
I saw many comments from book friends, all of whom mixed up Goguryeo with present-day South Korea, but in fact, the Goguryeo during this period was not the Goguryeo that everyone is familiar with.
This Goguryeo was a former frontier regime of China. It was sometimes called Goryeo in the Central Plains. In history, in order to distinguish it from the later Wang Goryeo, it was called Gao Goryeo.
Its range is from Liaodong area to present-day North Korea. In the past, this part was unified with the Central Plains. Later, when war broke out in the Central Plains, they established separatist forces here.
Later, Goguryeo was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty and returned to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Some people stayed in the original place to live, some were moved to the inland, and a small number fled to Silla and Baekje further south. These two vassal states are the scope of the South Korea that everyone is familiar with today, and their ethnic groups are also the current Korean ethnic groups.
So please don't get me wrong, the Goguryeo mentioned in the article is the present Liaodong area, and we have the same origin, hahahaha
I don't know if you can see the pretense, so I plan to add a few more chapters. I'm too lazy to introduce the anime section.
