The woman whose face was covered with black and red spots slowly opened her eyes and stared at the roof, feeling in a trance and not knowing where she was.
She felt the pain on her left shoulder and then remembered what happened before she fell into coma. She suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and sat up.
This movement was too forceful, causing another sharp pain in her left shoulder. She couldn't help but turn her head and found that the place where she had been stabbed by Liu Bao's copper spear had been carefully bandaged.
She smelled the bandaged area, and there was a pungent herbal smell. It was obvious that medicine had been applied.
The woman opened the quilt covering her body and found that she had changed into a new underskirt, and even the close-fitting belly-hugging undergarment had been replaced with a new one, but it seemed a little tight, making her feel a little tight in the chest.
Her face was hot, she bit her lip and put her hands into her clothes. After checking for a long time, she found that there was nothing abnormal about her body, and she was relieved a little.
She looked up and looked around and found that this was a wooden house with a low bed and some weeds and firewood on the ground. Apart from that, there was only a table and nothing else.
She wanted to get up and get out of bed, but the wound on her shoulder started to hurt again, so she had to sit on the bed to rest.
The door of the house creaked and someone pushed it open.
I saw a handsome young maid carrying the bowl of porridge and walking in. Seeing the woman sitting by the bed, she quickly put the porridge on the table and said, "The lady is awake?"
"The girl has eaten the porridge first, and I will inform the husband soon."
Hearing this, the woman saluted the servant and said, "Thank you very much for saving my life and healing my wounds."
The servant girl smiled and shook her head and said, "I don't want to be a girl. I'm just a servant."
"My husband asked a female doctor in the city to treat the girl's injury. I just helped out a little."
After hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Who is Mr. Lang? Why is this?"
The servant woman said: "Mr. Lang is the guard of Beixin City. He brought this injured and unconscious girl back to his home yesterday."
"My lady, let's have some porridge first, and I'll report to the husband."
When the woman saw the servant going out, she walked to the table and saw that the porridge in the wooden bowl was made from corn and was still steaming.
She picked up the wooden spoon, took a spoonful and put it in her mouth. The fragrance of rice porridge rolled on the tip of her tongue, and there were actually a few strands of minced meat in it.
At this time, the hunger in my stomach jumped up.
She swallowed the rice porridge in small mouths, feeling lucky to survive the disaster. At the same time, she was worried that the contents of those boxes had been destroyed or divided.
Even if it's still there, how can she get it back?
She felt out of breath and clutched her chest. It took her a while to wake up. Then she opened the clothes on her shoulders and loosened the straps of her inner clothes. Only then did she feel much more relaxed.
In the room over there, Yuan Xi and the other three were still talking.
According to Dong Zhao's thinking, no matter whether Zhao Yun wins or loses yesterday's bet, it will be difficult to explain to Gongsun Zan.
No matter whether Zhao Yun wins or loses, Dong Zhao has a plan to deal with it, but Zhao Yun went back directly after losing, which caught him by surprise.
Yuan Xi sat up straight and said to Dong Zhao: "Mr. Gongren, don't have any doubts. Zhao Yun has already acted brightly. This plan of killing two birds with one stone is more than half done."
Dong Zhao heard this and sighed: "Thanks to his magnanimity, if it had been anyone else, this plan would never have worked."
"I admire the young master even more. Although Zhao Yun is unknown, the young master can deeply understand his character and strength. This ability to recognize people is really powerful."
Ju Yi felt sour after hearing this, and said angrily: "While I am still strong, I may not be weaker than him!"
"It's a pity that I accidentally lost half of my moves yesterday. How shameful!"
Yuan Xi and Dong Zhao looked at Ju Yi's wide open mouth, where the gap between the two newly lost teeth was very obvious, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Ju Yi only raised his head to drink, but didn't notice the mean looks on the two people's faces. He suddenly remembered something and said, "This harvest is quite fruitful. It seems that these bastards have robbed a lot of good things. What should I do with them?"
Yuan Xi picked up the mutton with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Although it was fishier than the mutton in his previous life, he felt it was more delicious now.
The upper-class nobles did not like mutton in the past because they thought it tasted too strong in the mouth. However, with frequent famines in recent years, it was good to have meat, so mutton became a popular food.
Yuan Xi felt a little regretful. The steamed food did taste a bit strong, but it would cost too much to grill.
In today's troubled times, spices are luxuries and difficult to obtain. If you have enough money to buy spices, it is better to save a few bags of rice and noodles to make people feel at ease.
He put down his wooden chopsticks and said, "That's what I thought."
"In terms of military merit, it is calculated on a per-capita basis. This is a detailed job that requires multiple inspections. It will take a few days to complete, so you can take your time."
"After the property is converted, we will first provide compensation to the fallen soldiers."
"Take part of the rest and distribute it to the soldiers who participated in yesterday's battle, and the rest will go to Jizhou to buy grain."
"As for the antiques and antiques that are difficult to calculate, I would like to take out a large part and give them to Mr. Kimihito."
Dong Zhao was a little surprised when he heard this: "Leave it to me?"
Yuan Xi nodded and said: "Mr. Gongren wanted to join Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, more than a year ago. In the end, he wanted to go to Chang'an, right?"
"In the end, my husband was left here by me. I felt really sorry, so I had to take some things as a gift. The officials in Chang'an are always elegant, so I kept these things of no use. Mr. Gongren took them to take care of things and make more friends."
of."
Dong Zhao was deeply moved after hearing this, but still didn't believe it, "Young Master, are you really going to let me go?"
He has been wanting to leave this place for the past year, because after all, he has offended Yuan Shao and his life is in danger.
Although Yuan Xi treats him well, this place is under the rule of Yuan Shao after all, and if the news is leaked, he will not survive.
Now when he first heard that Yuan Xi was going to let him go and give him many precious possessions, how could he not be happy?
But Dong Zhao didn't know why, but he felt a little disappointed in his heart.
Yuan Xi let him go easily, but he became unbalanced.
Could it be that as a counselor, Yuan Xi still looks down upon him?
He felt a little depressed and unhappy, so he said it bluntly: "Master, do you think that I am not capable of assisting the master and accomplishing great things?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi knelt down on the mat and bowed to Dong Zhao: "Mr. Gongren's words are serious."
"Young man is incompetent. He has been trapped in this city for several years and has not been able to seize a single county. This is because the general situation has not been achieved."
"In my heart, Mr. Gongren is a wise man in the world, no less than Tian Feng Jushou. It's a pity that my father has no tolerance for others. It's not Mr.'s fault."
"Therefore, I am willing to help you to get out of the abyss. If you succeed in Chang'an one day and still remember the feeling of having dinner together today, I will be satisfied."
This is a very high praise. Tian Feng Jushou is now one of Yuan Shao's two great counselors, and no one else can match him.
Yuan Xi's words came out of sincerity.
Dong Zhao played an extremely crucial role in Cao Cao's future efforts to welcome Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
What he has to do now is to make Cao Cao's secret chess his own!
The only great enemies in this world are Cao Cao and a few others, whom Yuan Xi has no confidence in being able to deal with. He can only find a chance of winning by poaching Cao Cao at every opportunity.
Yuan Xi thinks to himself that he is not a genius, so in this troubled world where heroes emerge in large numbers, he can only find his own way to survive by seizing every opportunity and doing his best!
Just like yesterday, he risked his life to defeat Liu Bao and narrowly defeated Zhao Yun.
Dong Zhao was moved after hearing this. He bowed back and said, "I will remember the kindness you showed me today, and I will repay your kindness with a spring."
After Yuan Xi heard this, he was also very happy. With these words, it was not in vain for him to keep Dong Zhao for so long!
Dong Zhao was only in his thirties at this time and was in his prime. Although he had many military exploits, he was jealous of Yuan Shao and was forced to flee. His future was unknown.
Only Yuan Xi knew that Dong Zhao would become one of the important counselors around Cao Cao in the future.
Both Yuan Xi and Dong Zhao felt that the important matter in their hearts had been solved, and they were in a good mood. They raised their glasses frequently and ate most of the food in front of them.
Only Qu Yi had not recovered from yesterday's blow to Zhao Yun, and was drinking alone.
Dong Zhao saw this, he was in a good mood at this time, and he wanted to make fun of Qu Yi a few words, when he saw a young servant girl came in and said to Yuan Xi: "Lang Jun, the injured girl you brought back yesterday has woken up."
