The three people were greeted outside Zhuangzi by a group of people led by the old housekeeper. Lin Yuan had a few broken ribs. Of course, he was carried in on a soft couch. A doctor came to see him, reattached the bones and drank medicine.
He fell into a drowsy sleep, and seemed to still have a slight fever, but his life was definitely safe.
After Lin Fengjin got rid of some skin injuries on his body, the most serious injury was that when he killed Shan Yong, his lung spirit was stimulated and the meridians of his left and right lungs were torn. He kept coughing. However, Lin Fengjin rested all the time.
After coming down, he couldn't rest, because the plan was to go down the river to Yunzhou overnight, so a lot of things were accumulated for him to make a decision.
However, in the past year or so, Lin Fengjin is also very familiar with the business at home. Although the things were reported as if they were first-class, he also approved them as if they were first-class, who should stay and who should go, take-out
When Zhiyinzi sent people to sell houses, land, and other things, they were all done clearly and smoothly, without any omissions.
After getting all the things done, he had to load the heavy household items onto the ship overnight, which was even more chaotic. Fortunately, Lin Fengjin had nothing to do at this time. He couldn't be allowed to do this hard work? Finally, Lin Fengjin had nothing to do.
You can also take a breath.
At this time, the door curtain was lifted, and a person walked in. It was Li Hu. Next to him was a maid. On the tray in his hand was a two-inch-high blue and white porcelain bottle with a turtle painted on it.
With pictures of unicorns, phoenixes and other auspicious beasts, he said respectfully to Lin Fengjin:
"Master, I heard that your voice became hoarse when you coughed. You must have injured your lungs. This is the Shouwu pear ointment sold by the most famous poor relief hall in Xiangdu. Please take some first."
Xiangfan, the capital of Nanzheng, is very prosperous. It is usually called Xiangdu. It is the most prosperous city and its medicines are also very famous. Lin Fengjin took the bottle and opened it. It was all black.
The translucent jelly-like medicine must have been carefully prepared by steaming and brewing seven times.
Lin Fengjin inhaled slightly at the mouth of the bottle, and felt a cool medicinal smell coming from his nostrils. The burning sensation in his chest and abdomen also subsided a lot. He nodded and said with a smile:
"Thank you for your trouble."
As he spoke, Lin Fengjin waved the girl next to him to retreat. While sniffing the medicine, he said casually to Li Hu:
"There are no outsiders here. If Uncle Li has any ideas at this time, you can tell me. My father returned your slave contract ten years ago. Now you can go to any country according to your ability."
There is no problem in being a captain. If you have any money issues, just tell me."
Li Hu had already sat down, but after hearing Lin Fengjin's words, he immediately stood up in shock and said:
"Master, are you going to drive me away and let me be spat on behind my back all my life? The old man has been very kind to me. Master, you even snatched me back from the underworld and transformed me.
Where else can we go in this life? In short, life and death will be in the Lin family."
Obviously, although Li Hu's statement was expected by Lin Fengjin, he was still very satisfied. Lin Fengjin also smiled and said:
"You can't say that. You already have the destiny of a general, and your talent is more than enough to win a martial arts exam. It can be said that you have the right time and the right place. It is really unfair to be the leader of the guard here. However, this time
After all, you still stole your destiny from others, so it is not very stable at the moment, and there are still some hidden dangers that need to be adjusted slowly, but it is really possible to lead thousands of people... You sit down and talk first."
After Li Hu sat down half sideways, Lin Fengjin continued:
"I have also thought carefully about it. According to the current practice in various countries, unless it is a war, you still have to take the path of martial arts. You are not even a martial arts scholar now. You have to pass the exam level by level. Next July
Enke, the martial arts test lasts for three months, you should be able to handle it with your hands without any problem."
"But if you are selected as a martial arts scholar, you have to wait another two years to take the martial arts examination. It has been here for three more years. If a martial arts examiner who has never been on the battlefield wants to get an official position, he often becomes a soldier in the county.
, this is definitely not your ambition. Then you have to wait another three years to take the martial arts examination, which is too long."
Li Hu listened to Lin Fengjin's words very seriously. To be honest, he had not thought about the future carefully, but in his heart at this time, Li Hu definitely did not want to be the leader of the Lin family's bodyguard for the rest of his life, so
, Lin Fengjin’s words really spoke to his heart.
"Of course, there is another way, which is to join the army after being selected as a Wu scholar." Lin Fengjin picked up a cup of tea and took a sip and said: "You can become a corps commander after joining the army. Looking at the future situation, Nanzheng and Zhongtang should
There are battles to be fought, but most of your skills are on horses, and the rest is to train cavalry. But without the merit of martial arts, if you get promoted, you can only be a deputy. You also know that I am from Nanzheng.
In the defensive battle, the giant bed crossbow dominates. I'm afraid there is no place where you can use your strengths in horse warfare, so this road will be equally bumpy."
Li Hu took a deep breath. He had thought about his future before, but never like Lin Fengjin who could break it into pieces and tell him everything. When he was about to speak, Lin Fengjin...
smiled and said:
"You already know my abilities and secrets. Since I can transfer Pojun's destiny to you, I don't want to hide it from you. The stars in my destiny must be stronger than Pojun's.
, I will go out to visit Tianxia Academy for study tour, and then join the official position. I think it will not be difficult to be promoted according to my ability. It is true that I am short of capable people, but you can wait here for me for three years, and then come to me
To do things, it seems to be the safest and fastest way for you."
Li Hu immediately knelt down and said:
"Dare you not die for your master!"
In fact, Li Hu would definitely be able to stay if Lin Fengjin didn't say anything, but then Li Hu would inevitably have regrets and grudges in his heart. Now that Lin Fengjin has given him a detailed analysis and explanation, it will also make it easier for him to serve him wholeheartedly and avoid any trouble.
What a knot.
After the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk, Lin Fengjin put the bottle of medicine next to his nose and sniffed it slowly. Then according to the method Li Hu said, he found warm soju, drank the medicine, and asked his servant to take it.
Rubbing my chest with strong alcohol, I felt that although the two meridians on my chest were stinging, I also felt a warmth slowly spreading to my whole body, giving me an indescribable sense of comfort and warmth.
After taking the medicine, Lin Fengjin did not slack off, but continued to cultivate his mind according to the mental methods of the Five Pregnant Gods. Although he had brought his mind to the realm of "nothing" when the Lung God woke up before, that was just
A good hand comes by chance.
At this time, in a normal state, Lin Fengjin can still only restrain his mind to the size of his fist, but he can maintain this state for a cup of tea. This kind of practice must be a grinding effort every day, Lin Fengjin
It is also mandatory that one must practice three times a day if conditions permit.
***
After practicing three times, Lin Fengjin was very tired after a hard battle and a near-death encounter. But since he decided to go down the river all night, he had no choice but to get on the boat and sleep again. At this time, he let
The girl waiting next to her brought a basin of hot water and simply wiped her face, then went to the back room while her spirits were still high:
The injuries of Wang Tie and Tuoba De who were rescued were quite critical, so they had to go and take care of them. The more than 20 horses brought back also had to be dealt with in a way, which was very difficult in Nanzheng.
It’s rare to see such a tall horse. How many of them are you keeping? How many are you selling? Who are you selling them to? It’s hard to make a decision without seeing them with your own eyes.
When passing by the corridor, Lin Fengjin saw two slaves kneeling outside, a man and a woman, both paralyzed on the ground, tied up as if they were rice dumplings. Old Butler Liu stood beside him with a gloomy face, ordering people to move them.
Move out and soak the pig cage.
Lin Fengjin also knew about this. The man was a shop assistant, but he had an affair with Liu Zhi, a maid in the inner room. The maid Liu Zhi was quite pretty, but she saw this messy situation.
He wanted to steal a sum of money and elope but was caught. He didn't have time to deal with the matter and went directly to the wing.
There were three oil lamps lit in the wing, illuminating everything everywhere. The lamp oil must have been squeezed from castor seeds sold in Xirong, so there was a faint aroma in the air. The Lin family has caravans transporting grain all year round.
Liu Yitie, who was very familiar with Doctor Hongshang, had been invited over to treat their injuries a long time ago. At this time, he was standing in front of the hospital bed and changing their dressings.
Wang Tie's face was pale, and it looked like he had lost too much blood. However, the wolf-fang arrow on Tuobad's neck was still not pulled out, and the wound around the arrow shaft was swollen, plus the black medicine applied on it.
The foam mixed with blood solidified, and it was shocking to see it.
After Lin Fengjin arrived, he first threw a piece of broken silver to Liu Yitie, who then waved his hands with a wry smile in fear:
"Master Lin, I don't dare to accept this reward. The injuries of the two warriors are very serious. It's hard to say whether they will survive tonight. My medical skills are poor and I can only do this."
Lin Fengjin lifted the quilt and looked at the wounds on Wang Tie's body. The fatal one was the one on the lower abdomen. Liu Yi stood next to him and whispered:
"The knife passed through the intestines. The internal organs were fine, but there was too much blood. If he could survive these three days, he would be a good man again in a few months."
