Beigong Jing was silent for a while and whispered: "It's probably for peace of mind."

Li Rui was stunned: "For peace of mind?"

Beigong Jing said, "Yes. Although our Liangzhou Army has been repeatedly suppressed by the imperial court in the past two years, every time we are in trouble, the elders of Luoyang will lend a helping hand. When we are short of food, they will take out all the few grains stored in our family for us. When we are short of clothing, they will spend all their savings to buy cloth for us... In the past two years, I can't remember how much food and clothing they have sent to us, and how many sons and nephews they have sent to the army. The imperial court is sorry for my Liangzhou Army, but the elders of Luoyang have treated us as much kind as a mountain. I can't repay them, so I can only do my best to protect them. If I live for one day, I will protect them for one day. If I leave them and run away and let them be slaughtered by the Hu people, I will be in a state of conscience in my life!"

Li Rui was silent.

Beigong Jing was also silent. After a long time, she choked and said, "It's a pity that I couldn't protect them in the end..."

Li Rui said: "You have tried your best, and even the most picky person cannot demand more of you!"

Beigong Jing murmured: "It shouldn't be like this... The situation had improved last winter, and Luoyang shouldn't have fallen so quickly..."

The slash of the slash last winter, which evolved from a strong counterattack to an in-court in the court, was an eternal pain in her heart. Even though half a year had passed, she was still worried.

Li Rui said: "It's all over, don't think about it anymore. Recovering well, okay? Luoyang is falling, but the passionate men who are unwilling to be slaves of the Hu people in Northern China have not yet died! They are all waiting for you to ride on the war horses again and lead them to fight with the Hu people again!"

Beigong Jing smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I can't get up anymore. Li Rui, help me take care of Huier and Yang Xiu... Especially Yang Xiu, her brother died in Luoyang, and the head of the family also died in battle. Now she has become an orphan... I have always regarded her as my sister, you have to do it for me..."

Li Rui was frightened and interrupted loudly: "I can't promise you! You can only do this by yourself, and I won't help you!"

Beigong Jing sighed: "I think so, but my injury is probably not cured."

Li Rui said: "Isn't it just an injury? What's the big deal? I will cure you. Even if I lose my life, I will cure you... By the way, in the battle for the floating bridge, I seized an extremely tall war horse, which is sixteen palms high. When you recover, I will give it to you..."

Beigong Jing closed her eyes and murmured to herself: "A war horse with a height of sixteen palms... I really want to see it..."

While muttering to herself, she fell asleep.

Even in a drowsy mood, I would cough from time to time, as if I was about to tear my lungs apart.

Li Rui boldly pushed open the mosquito net and used the back of his hand to test the temperature on her forehead. He couldn't help but be shocked:

It's so hot that even the wet wipes pressing on the forehead are emitting white air. The body temperature is probably above forty degrees!

Then he put his ear on her chest and listened to the sounds in her chest when she coughed. He guessed that she was probably suffering from acute pneumonia.

In this era of backward medicine, diseases like pneumonia are a hundred times more terrible than the trauma caused by swords, bows and arrows. The trauma looks like skin and flesh is exposed, which is indeed terrifying, but in the end there is a way to cure it. Use hot water to clean the wound, apply gold-burning medicine, carefully bandage it, and even use needles and thread to suture the wound when necessary. There is still some hope of survival. However, diseases like pneumonia are basically left to fate. Some herbs such as licorice and Sichuan shellfish can only relieve symptoms and cure it? That is impossible. In ancient times, this type of disease was found. In most cases, it was only possible to rely on one's own physical condition to survive. If you can't bear it, you can live. If you can't bear it, you can fall into a box. There is no other way.

This is also the reason why rain may kill people in ancient times. Because rain will cause low temperatures and reduced immunity, viruses and bacteria to take advantage of the situation, which will lead to acute pneumonia. When it comes to this point, it depends entirely on fate.

Originally, Beigong Jing's physique was not prone to this kind of fatal disease. However, she suffered internal injuries in the battle of Yiyang. After arriving in Luoyang, she fought with injuries and was hit by rain several times, and even the body was broken. People like her who practice martial arts are generally not very sick, but once they get sick, they are seriously ill, which is simply fatal!

He stared at her pale face blankly, and could clearly feel that her vitality was losing little by little.

Since she met her, she has been wearing military uniforms and fighting to protect the Luoyang people who had extended a helping hand to the Liangzhou army in Luoyang. She tried her best to protect them, but she couldn't even protect herself.

How can she save her life?

He could not imagine what would happen if she died in front of him, just thinking about him would go crazy!

The maid walked in and said to him mournfully: "Mr. Li, please save my lady!"

Li Rui stood up and said, "I know... Let me go back and think of a way. I will definitely find a way to save her, I will definitely be able to!"

Suddenly, I remembered something, took out a small wine pot from my pocket and handed it to the maid, saying, "She is now terrible in her body temperature and can easily cause irreversible damage to her mind. Wet towels are not useful at all. You can use this strong wine and use it to wipe her forehead, neck and other parts every half a stick of incense to lower her body temperature... Be sure to do what I said!"

The maid agreed, took the liquor and dipped it in a towel, and wiped Beigong Jing's forehead.

This thing has much better cooling effect than wet towels.

Li Rui smelled the strong aroma of wine, and inspiration suddenly burst out. He quickly walked out of the ward and roared: "Xu Hun!"

The summoned beast Xu Hun appeared in response: "Here!"

Li Rui asked: "The strong wine on you didn't move, right?"

Xu Hun said: "Not moving!"

Li Rui obviously believed him: "Didn't you drink it secretly?"

Xu Hun felt greatly insulted: "This is a life-saving thing, who dares to drink it!"

These strong liquors can be used to clean wounds, avoid wound infection and pus, and thus save their lives. This has become common sense for Li Rui's subordinates. Before leaving, Li Rui gave each of them a small bottle of strong liquor for them to carry with them. After suffering from external injuries, they used it to clean the wounds. No one in the military likes to drink a few sips, but no one dared to secretly drink such a rare fine wine. They all know how important it is. The wine tastes really good and is very satisfying to drink, but compared with their own life, the little bit of appetite is not worth mentioning at all.

In order to prove that he did not lie, he took out his bottle without saying a word and opened it for Li Rui to show:

It was full of drifts, not a single drop.

Li Rui asked for the flat wine bottle and said, "Give me half of it, I have an urgent need. By the way, go find Li Wo, Li Liang and the others, and ask them to half of the wine to give me."

Xu Hun wondered: "General, why do you want so much spirits?"

Li Rui said: "I want to use it to try to prepare a good medicine... Whether the major general can survive depends on whether the medicine can be prepared successfully."

When Xu Hun heard that he wanted to use strong alcohol to make medicine to save Beigong Jingming, he immediately felt stern: "I'll go find Li Wo, Li Liang and the others!"

Li Rui said: "Go. By the way, help me find some garlic, the more the better!"

Monk Xu Hunzhang Er was confused: Don’t you want to prepare medicine? Why do you make garlic? When will garlic become a medicine?

However, he didn't ask much, and he ran to find someone with his feet to ask for wine and garlic. He knew that his mind was not as flexible as Li Rui, so he guessed that Li Rui's thoughts were simply a waste of time. If he had that time, it would be better to do what Li Rui had to do!

It’s easy to handle wine. Every personal soldier brought a small bottle. Everyone took a little bit and I quickly raised four or five kilograms for Li Rui. But garlic was not that easy. Now the war is in chaos, and the weeds around Luoyang are almost gnawed. Where can I get garlic?

Fortunately, this is a new city. Li Rui had previously transported tens of thousands of hu of grain and some other supplies to Luoyang through the Wanluo Ancient Road. The new city had the first month of water and had some left some. Da Xi Yan was busy with work and found seven or eight kilograms of garlic for Li Rui.

"Is it enough?" he asked, "I will go find it if it's not enough. If it really doesn't work, I will go to the Hu people to grab it. I will make up enough numbers for you no matter what you say!"

Li Rui said: "Enough, enough. Find me a quiet place and don't let anyone disturb me."

Da Xiyan said: "There are still available houses in the Major General. You can go there, so you can take care of the Major General nearby."

Li Rui had no objection to this. He took this messy thing to find a room in Beigong Jing, closed the door and started his own experiment. As for the affairs of the army, city defense, etc., isn’t Beigong Chun? Just leave it to this general. He is not good at these things, and insisting on intervening will cause trouble.

Beigong Chun came to visit his daughter. Seeing that Beigong Jing was unconscious, but after wiping her forehead with strong wine, her body temperature dropped a little, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He did not disturb Li Rui, and told the maids to take good care of the lady, then buried his worries about his daughter in his heart, striding towards the Central Army tent, preparing to hold a military meeting.

In danger, he cannot tolerate any weakness. No matter how worried he is about his daughter's safety, he can only hide it in his heart. It is not possible not to hide it in his heart. Once people see his worries and weakness, the morale of the army will definitely be greatly affected, and it will be troublesome at that time. It is said that "righteousness does not protect wealth, kindness does not control the army." If you want to lead a good army to fight a good battle, you must have a strong heart, be cruel to the enemy, be cruel to your own people, and be even more cruel to yourself, otherwise you will not be able to eat this bowl of rice.

The more dangerous the moment, the stronger you must be, decisive, and never expose any weakness. This is difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, it must be done, otherwise it will be defeated and killed!
