Chapter 497 Things Have Changed
Pingzhou, Liaoxi County, Longcheng Horse Farm
Zhou Yuanhua stayed in the horse farm for a few days and finally bandaged and treated all the injured horses.
In the past few days, he saved most of the horses, and only thirty or forty horses were seriously injured and died, and then they were dragged to the slaughterhouse to be killed and eaten.
After the treatment was almost done, Zhou Yuanhua proposed to go back to Houcheng.
The horse farm manager sent him out respectfully. In addition, three or four pounds of roasted horse meat were packed, and the horse farm manager was carrying it.
Zhou Yuanhua carried his medicine box and walked out while saying, "These horses are injured in the hoof. Even if they are cured, they probably can't run long distances. I'm afraid they don't want to run. This takes time, don't worry."
In the words of later generations, it is a psychological shadow.
For Doctor Zhou's instructions, the horse farm manager naturally nodded and kept it in mind. However, it doesn't delay anything if they can't go to the battlefield for the time being. Let them breed well this year and have a happy year!
"It's too harmful to the horses to insert glass shards into the cement board." Zhou Yuanhua shook his head, "This strategy is too vicious." It was only when he was treating the horses that he knew the reason why these war horses were injured.
What could the horse farm manager say? He could only smile, "There's nothing we can do. This strategy is not vicious and can't destroy the Xianbei cavalry."
Zhou Yuanhua nodded.
As they were talking, the two had already arrived outside the horse farm gate, waiting for the carriage to pick them up.
"Doctor Zhou, we will sponsor you to open a branch clinic in Liaoxi County, and guarantee that it will be as big as the one in Houcheng."
Zhou Yuanhua glared at him, "I think you want to tire me to death!" Let him manage two clinics alone!
The horse farm manager smiled, "Doctor Zhou, you can accept disciples. If there is something, the disciples will do the work, and you just need to be responsible for instructing."
Before Zhou Yuanhua could speak, two people came over at this time, and Zhou Yuanhua was attracted by the conversation of the two people passing by.
"Now the gates of Youzhou and Pingzhou are closed, will they not let us out?" The person on the left said worriedly.
The person on the right replied disapprovingly, "No, Pingzhou officials have always emphasized that Pingzhou is free to come and go. Lord Lu has said that he will give us an explanation in the next few days, so we just have to wait."
"Actually, I don't want to leave Pingzhou." The person on the left said depressedly, kicking the stone under his feet, "Pingzhou is so good. It's just that Lord Lu has led Pingzhou to rebel now, and I'm a little scared. What if the court sends troops to encircle and suppress, what if Pingzhou can't resist, will the court punish us civilians?"
The Dali court has been around for two hundred years, and it still leaves a strong impression on the people.
"No, isn't there a saying that the law is not enforced, and the law cannot punish the masses? There are so many civilians in Pingyou and Youzhou."
The two talked and walked forward, and soon they walked farther and farther.
Zhou Yuanhua, who was standing in front of the horse farm gate waiting for the carriage, couldn't believe what he heard?
He looked at the horse farm manager in disbelief, "Lord Lu rebelled against the court?"
"Yeah." The horse farm manager looked away with a guilty look.
Zhou Yuanhua saw that there was still something he didn't understand, "Such a big thing, you didn't tell me?"
The horse farm manager smiled apologetically, "We are afraid that after we tell you, Doctor Zhou will be distracted and delay the treatment of the horses."
"You are good! Really good!" Zhou Yuanhua was angry.
Zhou Yuanhua never expected that he just came to the horse farm to treat the horses and stayed there for a few days. When he came out, the world had changed.
"Doctor Zhou, are you going back to Houcheng now?" The horse farm manager asked carefully.
"Go to Changli!" Zhou Yuanhua decided to change the route.
Didn't Lord Lu say that he would give everyone an explanation in the next few days? He wanted to listen to it!
"Okay, I will arrange a carriage for you right away." The horse farm manager agreed happily.
Zhou Yuanhua looked at him, "Such a big thing, you didn't reveal it at all, it's really good."
The horse farm manager laughed. The two of them were the Qin family's personal soldiers, and they were also the first batch to follow the Qin and Lu families to Liaodong County. Whether the masters rebelled or not, they would follow them to death.
The carriage came, and when the manager of the stable sent him to the carriage, he comforted him and said that Pingzhou was safe and asked him to stay there without worry.
Zhou Yuanhua didn't say anything, but sighed in his heart. How could he come to the nest of rebels?
After Zhou Yuanhua arrived in Changli by carriage, he found that it was more heavily guarded because it was the governor's mansion.
Everyone had to search when entering and leaving.
Just then, he heard someone shouting, "General Qin is back!"
The guards at the city gate saw the young general of the Qin family and immediately opened another door for him. That door was an emergency passage.
Qin Sheng was originally galloping on his horse, followed by his personal soldiers. When he was about to reach the city gate, he subconsciously squeezed the horse's belly and slowed down.
As soon as he approached, the people couldn't help but call him.
"General Qin!"
"General Qin!"
Qin Sheng nodded slightly to them when he rode past them.
"So heroic." Zhou Yuanhua sighed in a low voice. He knew Qin Sheng was the youngest son of Qin Yue, Duke of Qin, and the husband of Mrs. Qin Liu, the president of Lu.
The two looked very well matched.
The people were also discussing.
"Did you notice that the generals of the Qin family have returned one after another!"
"Second Master Qin and Third Master Qin returned around noon."
"Well, Prince Qin entered the city in the afternoon."
"They are all back. Did something big happen?"
"It shouldn't be."
...
This night was destined to be an uneasy night for the Qin and Lu families.
After the Qin and Lu families rebelled, the Qin family moved out of the military settlement under the arrangement of Lu Songli and moved to the four-story mansion next to the governor's mansion.
The Qin family was in a trance when they moved into the mansion that symbolized their status again.
After the four brothers of the Qin family returned, the two families prepared to have dinner together.
This time, the dinner party was held at the Lu family.
The Lu family was the governor's mansion, and they had their own cooks to prepare dinner, so the Qin family women didn't have to do it themselves.
The Qin and Lu families were originally in-laws, and they could be said to be a family, and there was no need to strictly follow the rules of gender separation.
But in the spacious hall, they still subconsciously divided into two parts, men and women.
The men gathered together to talk about men's topics.
The women sat together and talked about family matters.
On the left, Qin's mother and Jiang were chatting while watching the children, while several sisters-in-law of the Qin family talked to Tian.
Lu Songli sat in the middle, leisurely playing cat's tuck with two little girls, Lu Dan and Qin Xin.
The wide door was opened, and the children were playing in the yard.
