Chapter 41: Goodbye Cao Zhang
This night, Tian Pengzu and Guan Ning's meeting was known to no one other than the people in this room.
On the second day, Li Li ordered Tian Pengzu, Guan Ning and others as his entourage, escorting a batch of heavy grain and grass to Sangqian County.
Along the way, Guan Ning and the others were all dressed in black and hats, and then masked with black scarves, but the group of people in such a shape was still not the most eye-catching, the most eye-catching was a group of people with the same strange shape, they were wrapped in white silk, their faces were covered with thick white cloth, and they shuttled through the courtyards where people gathered in the depressed cities, and all of these places were seriously ill people without exception.
"Although it still hasn't improved today, at least it hasn't deteriorated, continue to drink medicine for a while, remember not to get cold again, I'll take a look in two days, don't think about it, you can get out of here alive!"
"Your condition has weakened a little, it seems that the prescription from Mr. Zhongjing is not completely symptomatic, but it also has some efficacy, don't worry, you will be fine soon."
"Come on, hurry up, there's someone who can't do it!"
"Get out of the way, I'll give the needle!"
"There's one here too!"
"Come on!"
"No, there's nothing I can do!"
"Don't think about it, there are still many people who need us, let him rest in peace, don't let others touch the corpse, let's burn him, and return the ashes to the family!"
"Yes, come on!"
……
One after another, people wrapped in white silk walked in, and one after another people with withered faces were carried out, some in cold clothes, some in unclothed bodies, and some people also wrapped in white silks, and also carried out!
Li Wei looked at them, turned his head to Guan Ning and asked, "Who are they?" ”
"Retrograde!"
"Retrograde?"
"When the epidemic happened, all the people of Daijun couldn't wait to fly out of Daijun directly with long wings, hiding far away, only this group of guys packed their luggage from various counties, brought their own medicinal herbs, prepared their own dry food, and came to Daijun one after another!"
"What are they trying to do?"
"Peace of mind.".
"Peace of mind?"
Guan Ning looked at the busy people in front of him and fell into memories, "The old man traveled all over the world when he was young and was fortunate to see Mr. Zhongjing, that is when he is still the Taishou of Changsha, he must sit in the public court on the tenth day of the month to consult the doctor, and he has also seen the old man for hidden diseases. ”
The old man asked him, since he was already a great Han Taishou and a well-known young talent at that time, why did he do such thankless things when he had a bright future.
"Brother Zhongjing told me at the time that although he could treat very few patients, and even some people didn't believe him, and some scholars said that he was famous, but every time he cured someone, his heart was steady, he said that every night he could remember the words hanging outside the door when his teacher taught him medical skills in the medical hall when he was a child, I hope that people in the world are free of disease, and would rather put medicine on the shelf!"
"This sentence has been passed down for a long time, many medical centers, doctors' families have these two sentences, they say that this is their ancestors passed down, not only do they have to remember for a lifetime, as long as there is the profession of doctors, as long as there is a place like a medical center, they must be remembered from generation to generation!"
Li Wei listened to Guan Ning's words, and his heart was a little agitated, these white silk doctors are not wealthy families, none of them are wealthy, and no one is a court official, and even they are not recognized by people, but they have been passed down from generation to generation, even if they are hungry and cold, and they are also living a frugal life, but when the Han needs them, they have never flinched or complained.
"The big man will remember them!" Li Li's words seem to be said to them, and it is also like saying it to himself!
"Let's go, go to Sangqian County one day earlier, let them get out one day earlier, and let Tian Pengzu, who has no official or position, be in a dilemma in Dai County."
"Good!"
The group went on the road again, hurried day and night, gnawed dry food immediately when they were hungry, drank some cold water immediately when they were thirsty, except for sleeping and toileting could not be on the horse, everything else was done on the horse, and strive for the fastest time to rush to Sangqian County.
Five days later, the group finally saw the city wall of Sangqian County, which was built during the Qin Dynasty and stood alone outside the Great Wall after being weathered.
Li Li took Tian Pengzu's warrant, entered the city smoothly, and smoothly handed over the grain and grass to the Han army in Sangqian County, and then Li Liu, who had just ended, saw Cao Zhang, who came in a hurry.
"Hanlong, hahaha, I know that your kid can't die!" Cao Zhang's voice is still so majestic, his posture is upright and he walks with the wind.
Cao Chang laughed all the way, walked to Li Li's side, hugged Li Li Li with a big hand, and slapped Li Li's back a few times, "Boy, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!" ”
"Ha, don't worry, Shizi, I don't have anything else but a thick skin and a big life, but it's a pity that Brother Yan and them..."
"Alas, forget it, I miscalculated and killed Cao Yan."
"The Son..."
"Let's go, go home with me, we won't get drunk and won't return!" Cao Zhang put his arm around Li Li and walked towards his mansion, "These men are also here, the mansion has prepared wine and meat for you, and then go to rest after eating!" ”
"No, thank you Akishiko." Guan Ning and the others bowed down to thank them, and then followed Cao Zhang and Li Wei.
When he arrived at the mansion, Cao Zhang waved his hand and retreated, "You all go down, I want to get drunk with the Hanlong brothers, if you have something today, you will go to Lou Ban and Kebineng!" ”
Then he took Li Li into the main hall, and Guan Ning and the others followed in after watching the people disperse.
In the main hall, the main seat Ueda Yu is looking at a bamboo slip, holding a glass of warm wine in his left hand, looking very attentive, and drinking with relish.
"General Guorang, Hanlong, they have arrived!" As soon as Cao Zhang entered, he sent Li Wei, and then walked quickly to Tian Yu's side and whispered to him.
Tian Yu put down the bamboo slips, raised his head and saw this group of people with a sense of grandeur, and smiled, "I really didn't expect to meet again." ”
Li Wei looked at Tian Yu, who had become ruddy and shiny in a short period of time, and greeted him first, "Li Wei has seen General Tian!" ”
"Well, it's good to be alive."
After Li Wei made a promise, he flashed to the side, revealing Guan Ning behind him, and at the same time, Wang Yue, who was at the back, reflexively went out of the door, Niu Er followed Wang Yue, closed the door after going out, and stood aside.
Guan Ning unveiled his masked black scarf, and the accompanying scholars and others were also lined up on both sides.
"Tian Guorang, I've seen the manager!" Tian Yu was a little excited after seeing Guan Ningde's face, got up and walked in front of Guan Ning, bowed down and saluted.
"You are not a member of my Yingchuan family, you don't have to make this big gift to me!" Guan Ning hurriedly helped Tian Yu up and said to him.
"Although I am in the Youzhou lineage, I have followed Xuande Gong and General Gongsun, but the steward bears the burden for my poor children in the world, no matter who we learn from, the poor children of my Han Dynasty owe the steward a great favor!"
"Don't say it, I haven't been able to do anything for the Hanmen, but I have been living in the land of Liaodong for many years, sitting and watching you fight on the battlefield!"
"What are you talking about, when General Gongsun was defeated, Yuan Ben's junior family killed us all, if it wasn't for the management of the book, how could I enter the wall of King Wei's gate and be reused!"
"Alas, don't mention the things of the past, don't mention it, don't mention it."
Tian Yu looked a little lonely when he saw Guan Ning, and sighed in a low voice, and stretched out his hand to bring Guan Ning and the others into the banquet.
The little girl Zhang Xin'er followed Li Li to sit on the outermost side with an ignorant face, waiting for them to sit at the table, Zhang Xin'er secretly asked Li Li, "Is the bearded old man so powerful?" Why do so many people respect him so much? ”
"He is indeed a respectable old man, and besides, he is only fifty years old, not an old man." Li Li touched the top of Zhang Xin'er's head and looked at Guan Ning, who was greeting Tian Yu, while Cao Zhang, who had been arguing with Guan Ning before, stood aside respectfully, and Li Liu, who looked honest, also really wanted to laugh.
Zhang Xin'er wanted to say something, but Li Li pinched the back of her neck and stopped her words, "Don't say it again, this is not the place for us to speak, and besides, none of the people in this room are simple." ”
Zhang Xin'er nodded as if she didn't understand, lowered her head and ate the snacks on the table, not seeing that when Li Li said this just now, her eyes were also looking at herself at the same time.
"Guorang, since I am here, don't waste time on reminiscing about the past, and tell us about the current situation, so that I can have a preparation." Guan Ning stopped greeting Tian Yu after seeing that everyone was seated, "Zhang Shizi, please also ask you to give us a reasonable identity, so that it is convenient for us to act, whether it is for the country or for you!" ”
Tian Yu nodded and said, "The master is righteous, I should have gone immediately if there was a plague in Dai County, but first, because Wuhuan Xianbei had newly surrendered, his heart was unstable, and secondly, the floor and Kobe were able to surrender to my big man, but they were ambitious themselves, and now just suppressing Wuhuan and Xianbei will make me and Yanling Marquis separate, after all, in this case, if we are not careful, all our previous efforts will be in vain, or even worse." ”
"Exactly, now someone in Wuhuan is spreading the news that the plague is rampant in Youzhou, the people's hearts are in turmoil, and my Han has been too busy to take care of himself, at this time, as long as someone raises his arms and leads Wuhuan to Youzhou, he will be able to return with a big victory if he does not enter the Dai County, and my Han people dare not run!" Cao Zhang said hatefully, "This rumor is widely spread in the Wuhuan army, but the person who hates the rumor hides too deeply, but we can't find a clue." ”
Tian Yu took over the conversation again, "We have also discussed directly taking the Wuhuan Xianbei army back to Daijun directly, so that they can assist in the treatment, and at the same time, the general will send some reinforcements for us and others, it doesn't take much, as long as it can bluff them for a while." ”
"This method is okay, why did it fail?"
"It's still the guy hiding in the shadows, and there are rumors in the Wuhuan army again, saying that we are going to bring them into the Jedi, sacrifice them alive to the sky with the plague, and pray for the prosperity of the Great Han!" Cao Zhang began to grit his teeth as he spoke, "My great man is prosperous, and these ridiculous aliens deserve to be sacrificed to us?" ”
"In short, this time, we are very helpless, we can only entrust the affairs of Daijun to Peng Zu, these days, a careless, is to lose all the plates, it's ridiculous that the two of us think that they have the courage to kill the enemy, but they can't help the rat hiding in the shadows."
"It's true that sometimes the rats in the shadows are more of a headache and disgusting than the knives and guns of the enemies in the open."
"Alas, that's why I'm helpless."
Guan Ning lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said to Tian Yu, "Tomorrow, you and Zhang Shizi will hurry back to Dai County, no matter what, first settle the plague in this Dai County, and don't let them get worse!" ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Hua Tuo's apprentice Fan A has already rushed to Daijun first, I think it shouldn't continue to deteriorate, if we leave, the situation here, after all, the manager is not familiar with it, whether to stay..."
"There's no need, just leave a credible person to introduce the situation to us, the situation here is urgent, and Daijun is also urgent, I can hold it down here!"
Tian Yu looked at Guan Ning and was still not very relieved, after all, in his cognition, Guan Ning was more of a moral etiquette, a great Confucian in the world, although he was also strategic, but after all, he was not professional, the reinforcements he wanted to find were actually Xu Shu who was still cultivating in Yecheng, but Jizhou did not send anyone, but Guan Ning came by himself.
Seeing that Tian Yu was a little hesitant and hesitant, the scholar sitting next to Li Wei smiled "poof", stood up, and at the same time reached out and took off his face towel, "If General Tian is not at ease, then I don't know if it is enough?" ”
Tian Yu looked at some familiar scholars, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them, there were too few young people over the years, and there were even fewer of them that he could remember, Tian Yu was very familiar with this face, but he really couldn't remember it.
"Who is Your Excellency?" Tian Yu arched his hand a little embarrassed, "Tian really feels that Your Excellency is familiar, and he really can't remember it, forgive your sins." ”
"It's normal for General Tian not to remember." The scholar smiled on his face, "I'm afraid that General Tian thinks that the villain is familiar because he has seen his father before." ”
"Well, maybe, I don't know who Ling Zun is?"
"Father, Dr. Han!"
"Doctor?" Tian Yu squinted his eyes and thought about it carefully, the official position of "doctor" has hardly appeared in recent years, and this official position is inconspicuous, and he should not remember it......
Tian Yu thought about it and suddenly his eyes widened, and he stretched out his fingers and pointed at the scholar tremblingly, "You are, Li Wen......"
"Villain Li Hao, General Tian asked me to repair Qi." Scholar Li Hao interrupted Tian Yu's words, and at the same time, Tian Yu also stopped saying more.
"Xiu Qi is also learning from the master?"
"That's not it, I used to have a very strict family education, and I have been studying with my father, and I only followed my husband after my father passed away."
"I see, I see." Tian Yu nodded, then looked at Guan Ning, who was at ease with the old god on the side, and his eyes gradually narrowed again.
Guan Ning looked up at Tian Yu, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Guorang, there is Xiuqi to help me, I don't know if you can rest assured?" ”
"Naturally, I am relieved." Tian Yu let out a sigh, "I knew that Guan You'an was a wise man in the world, but I never took it seriously before, but today I know that Guan You'an is worthy of being the person who was most feared by the world's family, amazing, amazing!" ”
Guan Ning lowered his head to a glass of wine, tasted it slowly, and didn't reply, as if the others hadn't heard it.
"In this case, early tomorrow morning, the Marquis of Yan Ling and I will return to Daijun, and this place will be handed over to the steward and Xiuqi."
Li Hao always had a kind smile on his face, and responded to Tian Yu, "General Tian rest assured, whether it's Wuhuan or Xianbei, it's not messy!" ”
"Marquis Yan Ling, let's go first, don't disturb the stewards and them to rest." Tian Yu stood up, the entanglement on his face before, the embarrassment was not visible at all, but there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes.
Cao Zhang opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't hold back and didn't say anything, bowed to Guan Ning and then followed Tian Yu out, and when he went out of the door, he was startled by Niu Er who was guarding the door, "What a majestic man!" ”
Tian Yu, who was attracted by Cao Zhang's voice, turned his head and looked at Niu Er carefully, and the smile on his face became even stronger, "There were too many people in the house before, and I really didn't find out, who is this little brother?" ”
Niu Er scratched the back of his head, and there was still a simple smile on his face, "My name is Niu Er, the word Kuiying, I have followed Mr. since I was a child, you can call me Niu Er!" ”
"Niu Kuiying, haha, the surname is Niu, the surname is Niu!" Tian Yu turned around and continued to walk, the laughter kept coming, and with Niu Er's honest appearance of scratching the back of his head, Cao Zhang was even more confused, so he could only step up and chase after him.
Guan Ning was holding a wine glass in the room, and the scholar Li Hao was still standing in the middle, with a kind smile on his face, harmless to humans and animals, Niu Er entered the house and closed the door, Wang Yue was still nowhere to be seen, and no one spoke first for a while.
In the end, Li Wei couldn't help it, "Although I still haven't understood what happened just now, I want to ask, is it okay to serve?" ”
The little girl Zhang Xin'er also nodded, "Yes, I'm hungry too!" ”
Guan Ning put down the wine glass and rubbed her forehead, turned her head and said to Zhang Xin'er, "Little fat girl, go to the kitchen to see, the cooks are still there, no matter who it is, get some food from the kitchen, Tian Guorang is becoming more and more unreliable!" ”
"Uh-huh!" Zhang Xin'er nodded, ran out quickly, and went to the kitchen with a jump.
"Hanlong, sit down, isn't there ......a snack on the table," Guan Ning saw that there was only the residue of pastries on Li Liu's table halfway through speaking, and then thought about the residue of pastries on Zhang Xin'er's mouth when she ran out just now, and couldn't help but shake her head, "Take care of this fat girl of yours, if she eats like this again, she will become a pig!" ”
Li Hao shrugged his shoulders, swayed back to his seat, and before sitting down, he stretched out his hand and took the pastries on Li Hao's table next to him.
Guan Ning ignored Li Hao, who was eating Haisai, and looked at Li Hao, who was now posing in the hall, and his anger came out again, "Isn't it good for you to stay in Liaodong honestly?" Even if you're not in Liaodong, isn't it good for you to honestly cover your face and watch the show? What a capability! ”
"Tian Guorang doesn't trust Mr.!"
"I know!" Guan Ning became even more angry after saying this, and was about to drink it all when he picked up the wine glass, but only halfway through the drink did he find that there was no wine in it, and the angry Guan Ning threw the wine glass to the ground.
finally stood up and left in a huff, "The old man doesn't care, one by one is full of what kind of ability, I don't know if you all die of seeing the light!" ”
When I walked to the door and saw Li Wei, who was still eating a lot, he raised his feet all of a sudden, "If you still eat, if you eat again, you will be the same as the fat girl in your family, they are all pigs!" ”
Then he reached out and grabbed the back of Li Li's neck collar and went out, Li Hao and others could still hear Guan Ning roaring in the yard in the house, "Old drunkard!" Where are they hidden? Said to teach him to practice swords! Get out! ”
