"Everyone else, don't worry. Take the land route. The land route is not slower than the water route. The roads are well repaired."
Qin Li shouted. The Winged Knights needed to go back. The 16 guards had arrived a few days ago.
They replaced the Winged Knights. Hao Lingquan, a general who was better at diplomacy than commanding, also needed to go back to report.
There was also a group of soldiers who had been here for a long time and needed to go home.
They had families, especially those who had married, so they had to go back and continue to have children.
Princess Jincheng took a boat. There were few boats, mainly carrying children and women, and precious wild animals.
Less than 10,000 people took the boat, and the rest had to continue on the land route.
The roads were good, but what were hundreds of thousands of people doing all day? Building roads and cities!
The roads were not asphalt or cement. They went uphill when they needed to. If they didn't want to, they had to take a detour.
It was paved with sand and stone. It was not a small road.
As long as they didn't take the Shu Road, carriages could pass.
There was no problem for carriages to go to Shu. The roads there were also repaired.
When they went uphill, the goods on the carriages couldn't move. They had to unload the goods first, put some on the carriages, and carry some up the slope.
Just like a person who was picking beehives and herding flowers, he poured them one by one.
Princess Jincheng was wearing a bamboo life jacket. She sat on the deck and looked at the water. The baby's stroller was next to her.
There was also a bamboo tube in the stroller. If the baby fell, it would be easy to catch it. The baby couldn't die. There was oxygen in the tube, so the baby could last for a long time.
"It looks fine, General Qin." Princess Jincheng touched the bamboo tube on her body. She didn't want it.
"Everyone who died in this river thought the same thing." Qin Li also had a lot of bamboo tubes on him.
Were the Winged Knights good in the water? They had all undergone anti-drowning training.
Their feet were tied and their hands were tied behind their backs. They could breathe by relaxing their bodies, twisting their limbs, exhaling, and so on.
Once they let go of their limbs, the Winged Knights were even more powerful in the water.
They were all wearing bamboo tubes. They knew how to cherish life. Wasn't it good to live? Why would they give up their life jackets?
They always had tactical backpacks on them and were always ready.
As the strongest army of the Tang dynasty, not only must they have an iron will, but they must also abide by absolute discipline.
"Son-in-law, the yellow mud from the Yellow River is the best."
As a diplomat, Hao Lingquan changed the atmosphere with just a few words.
"Oh? What do you mean? "Sure enough, he was interested.
"Yellow mud to make ceramics, yellow sand to make the Jade Lake. If you encounter a salt lake, there are many impurities in it. Boil it with the water of the Yellow River. Finally, it settles down and then boil it dry. The salt will be delicious."
Hao Lingquan gestured as she spoke. Her body movements made people's eyes follow her, making her more convincing.
"I see. General Hao, I'm in a good mood when I talk to you."
He was still young and wasn't shrewd enough to speak his mind.
"It's mainly because Young Master is easy-going and gets along well with others. When Young Master eats, he's still thinking about whether the children can eat their fill. If I meet someone I don't like, I won't say a word.
The son-in-law has a high status, otherwise, I would have long wanted to … Aiya! Young Master, just watch. If you go down this river, you won't be afraid when you encounter turbulence. "
As Hao Lingquan spoke, she adjusted the position of the bamboo tube of the life jacket so that there would be more of them behind. Then, she would naturally be able to hold her head high.
Hao Lingquan wanted to become sworn brothers with him, but it was impossible. What a pity! This person was so nice!
Qin Li watched from the side and felt quite helpless. When he first met Hao Lingquan, Hao Lingquan was not like this.
After that, Dongzhu gave Hao Lingquan a book. Hao Lingquan practiced hard according to the teaching content in the book.
Her voice changed, her expression changed, her smile and her eyes changed, including her body movements.
Since Dongzhu had such ability to teach others, why did she look delicate and pretty? She was very casual in other times.
If Dongzhu practiced according to her, wouldn't he be even more powerful?
Qin Li didn't understand. At Li Yi's level, he didn't care about influence. He only cared about benefits. When the benefits were there, nothing else was a problem.
In the face of absolute strength and benefits, everything else was fake.
Princess Jincheng smiled. The more powerful the generals of the Tang dynasty were, the happier she was.
… …
The Imperial Court Meeting began. It was the 15th day of the month.
The little girl was alive and kicking. She taught her junior brother how to taste medicinal herbs.
"Senior Sister, will I die if I eat this thing?"
Li Fukuan looked at the live centipede in front of him and raised his thumb. He was not afraid of centipedes. He wanted to crush them to death.
He didn't want to eat them. He was afraid.
The little girl had a little powder in her hand. She flicked it gently. When the centipede touched the powder, it immediately stopped moving.
"All things have a counter to each other. Pinch the head. Don't always think about violence. I know you've bitten the turtle's neck."
As the little girl spoke, she pinched the centipede's head. The centipede's body automatically rolled up and came to her hand.
"Senior Sister, what is this? Acupuncture and moxibustion. The moxibustion powder is mixed with realgar powder. Let's catch a few more and roast them. It's delicious.
In fact, the toxicity is not too high. It's just ordinary for medicinal herbs. If you want to improve the medicinal properties, adjust the feed. "
As the little girl spoke, she used a bamboo stick to skewer the centipede and went to catch the next one.
"Senior Sister, if it's cooked, can you still taste the medicinal properties?" Li Fukuan heard that it was edible and helped to catch it.
"Do you eat all the medicine raw? The turtle's shell is also medicine. Can you bite it? It has to be roasted into ashes or ground into powder. "
The little girl gave an example and spoke with conviction.
"Oh! Eating the centipede today? It doesn't feel good. "Li Fukuan was not so weak in front of others.
"There's also the scorpion. Master raised a lot of things for me. The whole Tang dynasty is raising them.
It's delicious when fried! There's also other medicinal herbs. I'll make them delicious for you in the future. Except for the golden juice. It's not delicious. It's disgusting!
As for the maggots, look for the ones in the sauce jar. Don't look for those in the latrine.
Under special circumstances, put the maggots on a big infected wound. Either the maggots kill you with germs, or the maggots help you clean the rotten flesh and you live.
If there's no maggots, you'll definitely die. Then put the maggots in the latrine and wash them. "
The Li Family Zhuangzi did not need the little girl to explain special circumstances to her junior brother.
Was there a need to choose between a guaranteed death and a 50% chance of survival?
"Senior Sister, I know how to catch scorpions. One at a time. Pinch their tails when they're not paying attention."
Li Fukuan was in Yin City. There were many scorpions there. It was Henan Xinyang during Li Yi's time.
During Li Yi's time, there were many scorpions and geckos in Hebei. Children would always catch them.
In the suburbs, there were always geckos and scorpions on the walls and ground.
Li Fukuan knew that scorpions were medicinal herbs. He caught them when he was young and sold them at a very low price.
"Actually, I'm just testing your courage. You don't have to use your hands to catch them and skewer them."
The little girl said as she took out a small buckle net from her bag. "Use this to catch scorpions and centipedes. Then throw them directly into a pot of oil and fish them out when they're cooked."
"Sigh!" Li Fukuan sighed.
"Junior Brother, are you tired? Are you tired physically or mentally? Tell me and I won't blame you. "The little girl had a sincere look on her face.
Li Fukuan wiped his sweat. "I'm not tired. I'm just thinking that there are other good friends of mine who can't eat such good food."
He felt helpless. Why was his survival wisdom not useful in front of Senior Sister?
