C9 Tai Ping Shui

"Duke, this street is blocked by commoners. It can't be done." Xiao Zhong felt wronged.

"Hmm? The big man ordered Lingmingming not to let the people meet, how could this group of people dare to block the streets? "

Xiao Yan's brows twitched. He opened the curtain and took a closer look, but his gaze froze.

On the streets of the city, hundreds of residents had gathered, surrounding the two Taoists with their heads covered in yellow scarves. They were all attentively watching the scene and were discussing fervently at the same time.

"The Qi family's eldest sister-in-law is lucky to meet the Taoists of the Taiping Road to save the people."

"That's right, the immortal arts of the Taiping Dao are truly amazing, there's no need to torture the herbs, just drink the water in one bowl to cure the disease."

"What do you know?" "The immortal elder used his mana to draw talismans and fused his mana into the water."

Surrounded by the crowd, there were two Daoists wearing yellow scarves, linen clothes, and straw sandals. There was also a woman carrying a little girl in her arms.

The woman kneeled to the ground and cried out in grief, "Two immortals, I beg of the two county magistrate, please save my son's life!"

The little girl's face was a sallow yellow, and her arms and legs were thin and small. She powerlessly leaned into her mother's embrace, and had no strength to move at all.

The Daoist Priest with a short beard on his left lip said, "Yes, your child is indeed sick, and not lightly. But it's alright, I'll use my magic power to mix a bowl of water with talismans and let your daughter drink it."

The short-bearded Daoist said to his companion, "Junior Brother, cook a bowl of water with talismans."

The other Daoist Priest nodded and first took out a clay bowl filled with clear water. Then, he took out a piece of yellow paper and used cinnabar to draw out a talisman.

"Freeze!"

With a roar, he placed the talisman into a clay bowl. It turned to ash and fell into the water.

The short-bearded Daoist took the talisman and gave it to the woman. "Here, give it to the child to drink. Drink it, and you will be free from all diseases."

The woman responded excitedly. She trembled as she received the water rune and fed it to her daughter.

"My good daughter, quickly drink it. After drinking this bowl of symbol water, your illness will be cured."

The little girl frowned and shook her head. The woman was slightly angry: "You really know how to treat your son. Your mother didn't have the money to buy medicine, so luckily I met two immortals and gave you some water symbols. Why don't you drink? Quick, drink! "

Although the little girl was unwilling, under the pressure of her mother, she could only drink it.

"Yes, this water rune will enter your stomach. It will take a few days before you can use your magic power. You should just carry your child back." The short-bearded Daoist smiled.

"Many thanks, Immortal Elder! Many thanks!" The woman kowtowed to the two Daoists a few times, then left with the child in her arms with a grateful expression.

The citizens who were present became excited at the sight.

"Two immortals, I also feel a bit uncomfortable these few days!"

"Immortal Elder, Immortal Elder, my wife's health hasn't been good for the past few days. Can you give me a bowl of talisman water?"

"Me too, Immortal Elder!"

Facing the surging crowd, the two Daoists smiled and said, "Everyone, don't worry. Everyone has it. Come, everyone."

With that, the two of them started to lay down the runes and shouted at the same time, "Everyone drank the runes and don't forget that this runic water was created by the great and virtuous teacher of the Ji Prefecture Great Deer Country. Everyone in the world is suffering, so Huang Tian sent this great and virtuous teacher to seek blessings for everyone."

"My god, is this rune water really that good?" It makes me want to give it a try. " Xiao Shi clicked his tongue.

"Humph!"

However, Xiao Yan frowned: "Deceiving people's hearts. Those who mess around with the world, must be on the safe side!"

"Duke, isn't it very good for the Taiping Road to distribute talismans and water throughout the world?" Xiao Zhong scratched his head and asked as he didn't understand.

"It's the right medicine, wind chill, fever, and other illnesses. The medicinal herbs used are all different, so how can a bowl of Talisman-Dollar Water solve all of them?"

Xiao Yan said coldly, "This Taoist views human life as a threat, but if that virtuous and virtuous teacher were to ascend to a higher level in the future, the commoners would have to follow him. What's wrong with that?"

Xiao Shi and Xiao Zhong were in disbelief. Although the imperial government had not been successful in the recent years, ever since Emperor Guang Wu rebuilt Han Family, there had been no riots like Chen Shengguang and Red Eyebrow Green Forest. Was Duke trying to scare them off?

"Xiao Zhong, send a gold medal to that sister-in-law and ask her to take the child to a doctor." Xiao Yan instructed. Right now, this was the only thing he could do. He had to save up his strength to deal with the chaos three months later.

Xiao Zhong jumped down from the carriage and ran out with the money. Xiao Yan only saw the woman shake her head from a distance. Xiao Zhong ran back with the money in his hand, gasping for breath.

"Jun... "Duke, that woman is not willing to take it." Xiao Zhong shook his head and said, "She said that after her daughter drinks the rune water, she doesn't need to go to the doctor."

"Ai!"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh. Why were peasant uprisings so frequent in ancient times? As long as someone started it, it would immediately be filled with flames. In large part, it was because the people's wisdom had yet to come to fruition.

The imperial government controlled the hearts of the people and pursued the folly of the people. Therefore, in the last years of the dynasties, whenever a group of godly men appeared, countless commoners would immediately follow them.

If I govern the world, I will definitely promote education and open up the wisdom of the people, Xiao Yan thought.

Forget it, I've been thinking too much. I'll think about how to deal with it after three months.

"Xiao Zhong, change the route!"

"..."

"Duke is back, and he brought a weapon!"

Xiao Yan and his men rode the horse carriage back to the barracks. A thousand of the country soldiers were overjoyed and rushed up.

"Duke is truly resourceful. When he went out on a trip, not only did he bring back so many weapons, he even brought back armors!" Taishi Ci was surprised.

It had to be known that in ancient times, having a few swords at home was not a major crime. Scholars had swords hanging from their waists every day, and hunters had more than one bow and arrow.

Concealed armor was tantamount to conspiracy and rebellion. The moment it was discovered, the punishment would be extreme punishment!

For example, Zhou Yafu, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, had helped pacify the Imperial Court and saved the Central Court by himself. As a result, five hundred of them had been sent to prison and were now on a hunger strike.

Taishi Ci grabbed a lead suit of armor and praised its craftsmanship.

It should be known that the Han Dynasty's armor was still relatively primitive. Many suits of armor only had two sides, the front and back, and not the arms and neck. The two sets of armor were connected by belts.

On the other hand, the sleeve armor had improved. It protected the wearer's shoulder and half of the arm, and the neck area had a basin collar, protecting the weak throat.

"It's a pity that there are only ten Territories. If there had been more of them, with just a little training, we would have been able to make a strong army." Taishi Ci said in pity.

In ancient times, especially before gunpowder was used in war, the influence of weapons and equipment on the fighting strength of soldiers was very important.
