Chapter 128: The Strange Illness of Qi Jin
、、、、、、、、、、
Yu Ming's words gave him enough beggar noodles and made him sound very useful. In addition, Yu Ming's stunt of shooting two arrows at the same time was really scary, which made Xue Qiluo respect and fear it.
Although he has a straightforward personality, because he is the leader of the Xue Yan Tuo Department, he has been cultivated as the future leader of the Xue Yan Tuo Department since he was a child. So it's impossible to be completely scheming.
At this moment, Xue Qiluo saw that Yuming actually took the initiative to turn it in, and expressed his willingness to become friends with him. I also saw the thousand soldiers he led, all of them well-equipped and their morale was high. Especially the kind of awe-inspiring momentum that emanates from it, it is definitely after a battlefield battle in a sea of corpses and blood, and the combat effectiveness must be quite amazing.
Therefore, he naturally has a trace of friendship.
"General Yu, since you regard me as a friend, how can I, Xue Qiluo, not know how to lift?" Xue Qiluo even made a "please" gesture and said: "My tribe is in a valley twenty miles away from here, and I invite General Yu to my camp as a guest!" Friends come from afar, if you don't go to drink a cup of mare's milk tea and leave, it is a poor hospitality of Xue Yantuo people! ”
Seeing that he was sincere, Yu Ming also had the idea of going to the camp of the Xuyantuo people to see it. After all, it is really unreasonable for him to win over others, but not accept the invitation of others.
"Since the brothers of the Xue Yantuo Department have been so kindly invited, we will look down on others if we don't go! Let's go! Brothers, let's see what good things Brother Xue Qiluo has brought to entertain us! Yu Ming smiled, then turned his horse's head and walked towards Xue Qiluo.
Xue Qiluo was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly beckoned one of his subordinates and said, "Chiyan, you go back to the camp quickly, tell everyone, prepare mare's milk and mutton, and entertain your guests!" ”
Na Chiyan answered, and then led a few cavalrymen and went back to report the news first.
Immediately, Xue Qiluo Fang made a gesture of please, led Yuming and his party, and went to the northeast.
On the first day, Yu Ming and Xue Qiluo had a very happy conversation. For this young master of the Xuyantuo Department who had no scheming, he only used a little trick to understand the details of this person and the Xuyantuo Department.
It turned out that the Xuyantuo tribe was originally a tribe that belonged to the Western Turks. However, in the Eastern and Western Turkic War more than ten years ago, the Western Turks were defeated and retreated to the west of Jinshan, and the steppes were almost completely occupied by the Eastern Turks.
However, because they did not want to move to their residences, they were forced to surrender to the Eastern Turks and expressed their willingness to submit.
Although the Eastern Turks were victorious, they also suffered heavy casualties and were unable to clear the Xuyantuo tribe. In addition, the Khan of Qimin was influenced by his wife, Princess Yicheng, and believed that he should be like the Sui Dynasty, convincing people with virtue and letting the surrounding tribes return to their hearts. He agreed to accept the Shoyanta and recognize it as one of his subordinates.
However, because the Xuyantuo tribe had stood on the opposite side of the Eastern Turks in the war that year, it had always been guarded against and suppressed by the Qimin Khan. If it weren't for his fear that he would go all out to exterminate the Xuyantuo tribe, causing the other tribes to feel cold, and at the same time forcing the tribe back to the side of the Western Turks, he would have sent troops to attack this thorn in the side long ago.
Just last month, out of courtesy, the leader of the Xuyantuo tribe, he went to visit the seriously ill Qimin Khan to show the righteousness of his ministers.
But when he returned, he fell ill and is now terminally ill. Let Xue Qiluo also be shocked and angry in his heart. Many people in the Xuyantuo tribe rumored that it was the Qimin Khan who knew that his fate was not long in coming, and he was worried that the Xuyantuo tribe would rise up to rebel after his death, so he put poison in the food of the catty, hoping to poison other tribal leaders who threatened him.
This rumor is not only in the Suyanta tribe, but also in other non-Turkic tribes in the steppe. And the Turks were also busy with internal power struggles and the distribution of benefits, so no one paid attention to this matter. Therefore, the dissatisfaction of the Suyantuo tribe against the Turks is also increasing day by day.
After Yu Ming learned about these situations, he looked like he was listening, but he was already secretly planning in his heart. Especially after hearing that Tong Jin was seriously ill, his eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of joy, and he glanced at the carriage that Shumeng was riding.
……
It was not far from the place where Yuming and Xue Qiluo had tried their archery skills, and they arrived after riding slowly for more than an hour. Yu Ming looked at it and saw that it was in a valley, and there was a small stream flowing through the valley bottom, which could be seen to be a treasure land with abundant water and grass.
At the mouth of the valley, a fence was built, and soldiers from the Xuyantuo Department were also stationed on the hills on both sides, which showed that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The group had just walked to the mouth of the valley, and Chiyan, who had been sent back by Xue Qiluo to prepare mare's milk and mutton, stumbled in front of everyone, stepped forward and said breathlessly: "Young master, it's not good! Lead him, he can't do it......"
"What's wrong with my dad?" As soon as Xue Qiluo heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he grabbed Chi Yan's collar and said, "Before we came out in the morning, wasn't he still in good spirits?" I said I could walk around on the ground, but why couldn't I do it all at once? ”
"I ...... I don't know! Chi Yan also said with a sad face.
Xue Qiluo is a filial person, it is cold and windy outside, and he still insists on going out to hunt, but also wants to change his father's taste. Unexpectedly, not long after he came out, his father's condition deteriorated.
At that moment, he saluted Yu Ming and said, "Brother Yu, please sit in the big tent, and I will ask someone to bring you mare's milk and mutton!" My father was seriously ill, so he had to miss him for a while! ”
With that, Xue Qiluo turned his head to leave.
Yu Ming hurriedly grabbed his wrist and said, "Brother Xue Qiluo, since you and I have seen each other. I'll treat you as a friend! My friend's father is seriously ill, how can I, a nephew, stay out of it? ”
At this time, he pointed to the carriage lane where Shumeng was riding: "To tell you the truth, our team was ordered by the Great Sui Emperor to visit the seriously ill Qimin Khan in the Turkic tent. Therefore, there is a famous doctor in the envoy group who is known as a medical immortal, and she may be able to cure Ling Zun's illness. Why don't you let her give it a try? ”
Xue Qiluo was already so anxious that the six gods had no master, but when he heard Yu Ming say this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Then there is Brother Lao Yu!" What is the name of this medical fairy? Sarbear begged her! ”
Yu Ming smiled slightly, said Shumeng's name, and then he walked to Shumeng's carriage and told her about the situation in front of him.
Shumeng was originally a kind woman, and I heard that she was going to save an old man of the tribe. Naturally, he nodded in agreement. He grabbed his dress and slowly stepped out of the carriage.
Her appearance immediately made Xue Qiluo and the surrounding Xue Yantuo tribesmen amazed, the grassland is windy and sandy, and they eat cattle, mutton and horse meat and the milk of livestock, so most of the women on the grassland are ugly. An ordinary woman in the Central Plains can be regarded as a beauty when she gets to the grassland.
And Shumeng's appearance is also one of the four beauties in the Eastern Capital in the Central Plains, and she has been practicing medicine for many years, and she has a holy and dignified, noble and pure temperament that other beauties do not have. How can these people who have never been to the Central Plains not be stunned.
After all, Xue Qiluo is a tribal leader, and he is much more determined than the ordinary Xue Yantuo people. In addition, he was anxious about his father's condition, so he quickly came back to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded: "Please also ask Miss Shumeng to help my father as soon as possible!" You will remember your kindness and thank you with all the cattle, sheep and horses of our tribe! ”
Shu Mengqiao's face was slightly ashamed, and she raised her jade hand lightly and waved it slightly: "Helping the world and saving people is what people like us who practice medicine should do, and Tie Shaoling doesn't need to thank you at all." Saving people is like fighting fire, and please Tie Shao Tie to express his dream to Ling Zun's ward! ”
Xue Qiluo was not polite, and hurriedly led Shu Meng and Yu Ming to walk briskly towards the camp where his father Qi Jin was. Red Sleeves is the life-saving benefactor who never leaves his dreams and protects himself.
They soon met Xue Qiluo's father, Qi Jin, and saw that this was a middle-aged man in his forties. He has a short beard like a steel needle, a burly figure, a dark complexion, and a look of majesty in his appearance.
He was supposed to be a stout man. But now he is lying in bed, with withered eyes and dull eyes. When he saw himself leading a large group of people in, he tried to stand up, but he felt that he had no strength.
Xue Qiluo hurriedly rushed forward and helped him to his feet.
Shu Meng also walked quickly to the side of Qi Jin's bed at this time, and then grabbed one of his wrists, put his white and tender jade hand on his wrist, and checked his pulse.
Xue Qiluo didn't dare to come out, but stared at Shumeng with a pair of eyes wide.
After a while, Shu Mengfang put down his wrist, frowned and said: "Xue Qiluo Gong, Ling Zun is not sick, but poisoned, and it has been nearly a month!" ”
"What? Was my father poisoned? And it's been almost a month? The words of the dream surprised everyone present.
"Yes! What is in the collar is a chronic poison, called the Black Evil Pill. After taking this poison, it will not attack immediately, but the poisoned person will gradually weaken his limbs, and at the same time develop symptoms similar to typhoid fever, and often cough, making people think that he has some kind of disease. After a month, the condition will suddenly deteriorate, and then it will last for about two months......"
At this time, the poisoned person will often have a fever, do not know the personnel, and even talk nonsense. It wasn't until a few months later that he died. This kind of poison is generally used in the palace struggle in the Central Plains, and I heard my master Sun Simiao say that Yujue poisoned the Western Wei Emperor and Gao Yang poisoned the Eastern Wei Emperor. Because they wanted to poison these two emperors so that they could ascend the throne themselves, but they didn't want others to gossip, and they killed the emperors of the previous dynasty. Only then did he use this kind of poison that could confuse the eyes of the fish to create the illusion that the emperor was sick and dead. "The dream is right at this time.
Everyone was shocked when they heard it, but they didn't expect that Tong Jin would be hit by this rare poison. It's just that, listening to the tone of the dream, this poison is also very rare in the Central Plains, how could it spread to the prairie and be used on the body?
