After hearing Huo Shuwen's description, the little dumpling had a plan in mind.
She lifted the curtain and ran to Zhihua's side, asked for paper and pen, climbed onto the chair, and began to draw.
"sister"
"What's wrong, Long'er?"
"The pen was too soft; I got the paper all wet from drawing."
Zhihua stood beside the little dumpling and saw clumps of ink on the paper.
The girl thought for a moment, then took out an eyebrow pencil.
"Take this painting."
What kind of young lady uses an eyebrow pencil to draw? It's such a waste. But it was the little dumpling who spoke up. Let alone an eyebrow pencil, even if she wanted to use a mule-shaped eyebrow pencil in the past, her older sister Zhihua could have gotten it for her.
With a flick of the wrist, a triangular military blade leaped from the paper.
After Huo Xiaolong finished the painting, he wanted to take it home.
Wait a minute.
Zhihuadao
"Look at you, your face is covered in ink."
The girl took a damp towel and wiped away the black marks for her.
The little dumpling grinned, showing its two tiny tiger teeth.
"Okay, I'm off then, sis."
Go ahead.
Zhihua nodded and casually patted her little bottom.
This child is so lovable; he's so young, yet he already helps out at home.
"Dad, is this what it looks like?"
Huo Xiaolong showed the painting he had just finished to his father and said...
Huo Shuwen looked at it for a while, then lowered his head in deep thought.
"Yours is better than theirs."
The man was describing a three-edged dagger, crafted entirely from solid wood.
Huo Xiaolong, however, drew a standard triangular military blade from his previous life.
The blade is prismatic with three blood grooves. The blade has been treated to remove shine, resulting in a grayish-white color that does not reflect light. It is also hollowed out in the middle and has an additional blood groove, making it far more formidable than the daggers used by the Xiongnu.
"But this can't be made."
Huo Shuwen said
No blacksmith could forge a knife like the one depicted in the painting, not because of a lack of skill, but because the iron was not hard enough.
"So how did they fight?" Huo Xiaolong asked.
"Didn't they drop a strange stone there? I suspect it was used to make something."
Dr. Gu was invited into the room by He Yi.
Older people tend to sleep less, and the old man woke up after a short nap, so he came over to take Huo Shuwen's pulse again.
"Good. Take good care of the external injuries. Once I refine the elixir, one pill will be enough to heal them completely."
"Thank you, miracle doctor," Huo Shuwen said.
Dr. Gu waved his hand, "What you gave me is much more than the money you paid to save you."
I can't accept this thanks
Huo Shuwen heard from his wife that the Ganoderma lucidum they had picked that day could be used to pay for the medicine.
good
It was worth the trip.
Pingyang County Government Office
"Ah Cen? What brings you here?"
It was so dark and blazing, when suddenly someone jumped in through the window.
Magistrate Wang was about to shout when Madam Hua covered his mouth.
"Long'er's father was seriously injured in the deep mountains outside the county. He was wounded by a Xiongnu cavalry unit," said Mother Cen.
"What?"
Magistrate Wang shouted out.
He and his wife were both wearing their undergarments, which were a bit cold in the border town without blankets.
"Keep your voice down!"
Madam Hua slapped him on the head and said...
Wei Ci arrived around dinner time and is currently staying in the courtyard next door.
Cen Ang and she looked to the left.
Then Mrs. Hua said
"Wei Ci asked Zheng Ge to take him to your place tonight, but Fengyue Tower is closed today. Also, the courtesan from Fanghua Tower is with him. She sent someone to give me this, asking me to deliver it to you tomorrow. Since you're here, here you go."
She took a strip of cloth from her purse beside the bed and handed it to Cen's mother.
Cen Ang opened
There were only three words written on it.
Don't open the door
"Wei Ci's arrival was ill-intentioned."
Mrs. Hua said after seeing the above content
"He went to Fanghua Tower tonight, but found the girls there unattractive, so he came back and rested in a hurry," Magistrate Wang continued.
"What's he doing here?"
"The Emperor sent him to investigate the government's performance."
"Investigate every single place in the entire Yan Kingdom? Can he possibly finish?" Mother Cen continued.
“You know we only investigate the cities and counties,” Magistrate Wang said.
"Then what is he doing in Pingyang County? The Huo family just discovered yesterday that there was a spy from the Great Yan among the Xiongnu, and he arrived today. Isn't that too timely?"
Magistrate Wang and his wife looked worried.
"Possibly"
Magistrate Wang began to speak.
"But there's nothing we can do right now. We have no evidence, and even if we did, we can't touch him."
"Your three-year transfer period is up. Who will be the next commander of the border army?" Cen Ang asked.
"It's General Xiao," Madam Hua replied.
"Xiao Lanyi?"
"Um"
Madam Hua nodded.
Where are the others?
With the year-end approaching, without an imperial pardon, the commander of the border garrison would be appointed immediately upon receiving orders.
Haven't we arrived after three or four months?
"General Xiao has disappeared..."
This was a confidential report; Magistrate Wang hadn't even told his own wife.
I'm afraid it will shake the morale of the military and the people.
Madam Hua looked at her husband with surprise, only to hear him continue speaking.
"Only one of General Xiao's bodyguards survived. He said that the general was assassinated near Pingyang County, and... he escaped into the city wounded and then disappeared."
"You didn't tell me about something this important?"
Mrs. Hua slapped him again.
"It seems to be related to the cavalry in the mountains."
Cen Ang said
Magistrate Wang nodded.
"I've transferred two top-notch officers to keep an eye on Wei Ci. You'd better have a few constables thoroughly investigate everyone who's entered or left the county town these past few days."
"good"
Magistrate Wang agreed.
immediately
Madam Cen took a small porcelain bottle from her waist and handed it to Madam Hua, saying...
"Luan'er, this is a life-saving elixir. Keep it safe."
Madam Hua looked at Cen Ang with eyes full of doubt.
"Take this, just in case."
"good"
"Then I'm leaving."
"Take care on your journey."
Madam Hua watched the woman jump out of the window, and a sense of worry welled up inside her.
"Don't worry, Luan'er, Cen Ang is so strong, she'll definitely be fine. She's the most resilient of them all."
Madam Hua glanced at her phoenix eyes
"Lord Wang, you're quite tight-lipped."
"Madam...please let me explain..."
The woman smiled slightly.
"No need for explanations. Take your things and get to the study! You're not coming back until this is all settled."
Madam Hua opened the door and threw Magistrate Wang and his bedding out the door.
Only one person remained at the door, knocking in the moonlight.
"Madam! Madam, open the door! Let me explain!"
His response was that the candles inside the house were blown out.
The room was plunged into endless darkness.
well
What should we do?
He married his own wife.
Just bear with it.
In the neighboring courtyard
Wei Ci also sent people to listen to every move on this side.
"My lord, Magistrate Wang has been kicked out by his wife."
"Oh? Just as the county head said, she's henpecked."
The alluring young woman beside him filled his wine glass.
Wei Ci pulled her into his arms.
"Your Magistrate Wang has no one to warm his bed tonight. Why don't you go?"
Fanghua suppressed her trembling hands and said
"I can't bear to part with you, Master."
Wei Ci burst into wild laughter.
"Hahahaha, I know, my beauty has feelings for me."
