Chapter 53: Wounded
Three o'clock is the darkest hour before dawn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Yuanche took advantage of the night at this time and quietly slipped out of the Shanzhou Garrison Mansion.
On the second day, Li Yuanche and his entourage, who were supposed to leave immediately, stopped at the Shanzhou Annex. Governor Ma inquired and hurried over.
"Lord Shizi, what's wrong?" Ma Zhifu looked worried, okay, why did he stop in his own Shanzhou, this time escorting the second prince of the barbarian clan to Beijing, the stakes are very high, if something goes wrong in Shanzhou, he can't afford it.
"Hey," Li Yuanche sighed, "Prince Antonzan wants to stay in Shanzhou to see the customs of my northern corner of the Great Jin Dynasty, the prince is a distinguished guest invited by His Majesty, I really can't shirk it, so I have to agree." Li Yuanche's tone was quite helpless.
"Master Ma, I was about to go to you," Li Yuanche changed his voice again. "His Royal Highness the Prince wants to walk around the city, but it's my first time in Shanzhou, so I'm really not familiar with this city. I can only ask Lord Ma to take His Royal Highness the Prince to visit Shanzhou City. ”
"Shizi is joking." Governor Ma hurriedly refused. Let yourself be accompanied, how can this be done, how can a literati manage the second prince of the barbarian who grew up on horseback. This Shanzhou is less than three days away from Qilian Mountain, if this prince escapes in his own hands, then where will his family of more than 80 people have a way to live.
"Master Ma, I'm not joking. This was requested by Prince Antonzan himself. If you can't enjoy the fun in Shanzhou, Your Royal Highness the Prince is afraid that you will be unhappy, and if you delay His Majesty's summoning of the prince in the New Year, then ......" Li Yuanche looked serious.
"But, Shizi, I, I can't do it." Ma Zhifu wanted to cry without tears.
"Then Ima-sama, what should I do? If you can't visit this Shanzhou City, Prince Antonzan will not leave, and when the time comes, the diplomatic relations between the two countries will be mistaken, and Your Majesty will blame it, and none of us can afford it. Li Yuanche looked at Governor Ma's face, and smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was embarrassed.
"This ,......" Governor Ma only hesitated for a moment, and then remembered someone, "Otherwise, please ask Lord Garrison Wang to accompany the prince to go around." "Yes, let that prince of the family go, even if there is an accident, with the Wang family on top, there will be nothing to do with himself. The more Ma Zhifu thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good. "General Wang has been in Shanzhou for two years and is also familiar with Shanzhou. Moreover, General Wang is young and promising, and he is from a famous family, and his knowledge is extraordinary, so he will definitely be able to talk to Prince Antonzan. ”
"In that case, please ask Master Ma to ask General Wang to accompany the prince for a walk." Li Yuanche saluted, with a sad face, "Master Ma, you also saw it yesterday, Lord Wang is afraid that he has some opinions about me, if I come forward to ask, I am afraid he will not agree." ”
"No problem, I'll go to the garrison mansion." Governor Ma happily agreed. Yes, I almost got angry at the city gate yesterday, these two ancestors, one is the son of a thousand-year-old family, and the other is a general with a heavy army, and I can't afford to offend anyone, so don't let them meet again.
In the evening, Ma Zhifu was enjoying the service of the eighth concubine who had returned from Xinna's bedroom in the bedroom, when he was interrupted by a series of dense knocks on the door.
"My lord, my lord, something is wrong. Something happened to Wang Shoubei and the second prince of the barbarians, so go and take a look. The steward outside the door stretched out his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat on his head, and he didn't have time to think about whether he had interrupted the master's good deeds, so he howled.
"What?" When Governor Ma heard this, he didn't care about the charming concubine on the bed, lifted his trousers, approved a coat, and ran out of the room. "What the hell is going on?"
"Master, the specific situation, the slave doesn't know, only that Wang Shou was seriously injured, unconscious, and it seems that the sea broke his leg." Steward Ma said hurriedly while tidying up his master's clothes.

"Lord Shizi, what the hell is going on?" Ma Zhifu hurried to the other courtyard, and didn't bother to wipe the sweat on his forehead, so he hurriedly asked Li Yuanche.
"Master Ma, I don't know the specifics. Hearing that the guards who followed him came back and said that the second prince didn't know why he was startled and ran out of the city. In order to save the second prince, Lord Wang stopped the startled horse outside the city gate, but he fell off the horse and broke his leg. Li Yuanche's face was heavy.
"Is the second prince injured? Can you get back to the city? "Governor Ma is concerned about the barbarian prince, God bless. Don't let this barbarian prince have trouble in his own realm. If he escapes from Shanzhou City, he will not be able to cut off a few heads.
"Master Ma, don't worry. The second prince was only frightened, and there was nothing serious, and he had already sent someone back to the courtyard to rest. Li Yuanche looked relieved at Governor Ma's mansion and continued, "It's just that Lord Wang's injuries are relatively serious, and he has not woken up yet. And Shanzhou is located in the border area, there are no good doctors, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome. ”
"Ah, that's good." Ma Zhifu's heart just let go of it was raised again, if something happened to the son of this family on his own territory, the Wang family would definitely not let him go, with the power of the Wang family, he would not end well at that time.
Li Yuanche just shook his head and was silent.
Ma Zhifu was so anxious that he turned around the room a few times, and after a while, he gritted his teeth, "It's better to send someone to send Lord Wang back to Wang's house in Jiangnan to treat his leg injury, there are many doctors in Jiangnan, I heard that Zhang Qingshan, who is known as a national player, is in Jiangnan, and with the ability of the Wang family, he will definitely be able to find Doctor Zhang to take care of Lord Wang, and Lord Wang's injury will definitely get better at that time." ”
"But there is no edict from the imperial court,......" came, and finally waited for this sentence. Li Yuanche's heart moved, but his face was difficult.
"I can't care so much at this time," Ma Zhifu stomped his feet, "I'll write to the court to explain this matter." After all, Lord Wang was injured in order to save the second prince of the barbarian race, and there was a reason for it, and presumably the elders of the court would not blame him. ”
"This matter is the internal affairs of Shanzhou, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere, so I will follow what Master Ma said." Li Yuanche bowed.
"Yes, yes, what the prince said is that human life is a matter of heaven, and there is no hesitation. I'll go back to the book. Ma Zhifu nodded on his face, but he sighed in his heart. What is good state internal affairs, inconvenient to meddle! It's nice to say, but you just don't want to have to do it. I don't want to think about it, if you hadn't brought the prince of the barbarian tribe here, where would I have such internal affairs in Shanzhou?
A day later, Wang Zeren, the unconscious Shanzhou guard, was sent out of Shanzhou by the Wang family's servants and went to Jiangnan to find a famous doctor. At the same time, the excerpt of the Shanzhou prefect's explanation of the matter was also sent to the capital in an expedited manner of 800 miles.
After the imperial court received this excerpt, it saw that it could take the opportunity to take back the military power of a military general who was born in a family and was a military general, so he readily agreed. Not only did he not blame Wang Zeren for leaving his post without permission, but also because he saved the second prince and avoided another dispute between the two countries, he issued a commendation, so that he could stay in Jiangnan to recuperate from his injuries and not have to rush back to Yunyun. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
