Chapter Twenty-Five: Asking for Help
"So, what is the little emperor going to do with me?" At this time, Henin was in prison, but his tone was still tough, he didn't think he had done anything wrong, and he didn't even feel that at this moment, he should make a bad plan for his end.
"Grandpa......" Chongkang looked at his father in the prison cell next door and whispered. The scenery of the past is no more, and now the master and son have become prisoners of the subordinates, and they have experienced so many days of hiding in Tibet, that is, Chongkang is idle and unskilled, and he also feels the arrival of the crisis at this moment.
It was good that Hening waited for Chongkang to not see him, but when he heard Chongkang speak, he was even more angry: "You shut up for me!" Rubbish! If you don't learn something that has no skills, what is the use of me keeping you! How nice it would be if it was your eldest brother who was alive at the moment, he would definitely be able to find a plan for me to escape! ”
As he spoke, he also used his finger to regain health, as if he blamed all his unwillingness on Chongkang's body, "You, you, you...... Don't let me see you again! ”
Originally, Heninghou thought that Chongming and Chongkang were not arrested, and there was still a chance to operate, and there were more possibilities for him to escape, but he didn't expect Chongming to die in the chaos that night, which made Heninghou very angry, in this case, Chongkang was arrested in embarrassment, so far, his painstaking business for more than ten years was ruined, every time he thought of this, Heninghou would be angry, and there was only one Chongkang who did not learn and did not know how to do it, so what Chongkang experienced these days is a completely different from the past. A father who makes himself feel extremely strange.
But the sentence "If it was your eldest brother who is alive at this moment, how good it would be" still deeply pierced Chongkang's heart. Although Chongming is the eldest son and the eldest brother, he is a concubine and an illegitimate child. It is precisely because of this that Chongming has always been conscientious and cautious, which has been reused by Heninghou. Chongkang has always believed that his father loves him. But all the things he has experienced in the past few days have made Chongkang feel that his past self seems to be a fool.
"How good it would be to be the eldest brother alive at the moment...... Grandpa, how can you say that? The eldest brother is very knowledgeable, and it is indeed embarrassing to suffer this catastrophe, but that's not what I think! It's not my fault! Besides, I'm your sister-in-law! How can you say that? Chongkang's nerves at this time were like a full arch.
But Heninghou's next words made the string in Chongkang's heart completely broken, "Sister-in-law? Will the sister-in-law help Benhou's great cause? Especially a waste like you! What about sisters-in-law? Now Ben Hou has not fallen to this step of the field, he can only wait for death in this dark and damp place! Ben Hou is unwilling! Unwilling! ”
Looking at the hysterical Henning Hou who was almost crazy and clutched the prison door. Chongkang finally believed the fact that he had already seen clearly but didn't want to believe, and muttered silently and turned around: "It turns out that you don't love me at all, you only love that ethereal cause......"
In the corner, Shen Ke looked at the words of the two, smiled, and retreated with satisfaction.
"Really?" Emperor Yuan asked in disbelief.
Shen Ke replied respectfully: "It's true, the father-son relationship between these two has almost broken down. The two are re-healthy, which is the best breakthrough point. ”
"That's very good. But this is a good ...... How this person is. Emperor Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Ke recalled for a moment, "When his subordinates were in Hening, they knew him a little, this person was a gentleman, he didn't learn or did not know, he was idle, and he often lingered in the land of fireworks. ”
"Sure enough, it's not the same as the record in Su Yu's book!" Emperor Yuan opened his mouth and laughed, "This person will be handed over to you for trial." If you can really learn from him the list of officials who colluded with Hening, then it would not hurt to spare his life, and the son would inherit his father's title. ”
"Your Majesty is merciful, and your subordinates will do it."
--------------------------------------
"Sister Yang, we are going to leave for Chang'an tomorrow, thanks to your care these days, An Jing is here to thank you!" An Jing left the seat and bowed to Yang Shu in a dignified manner.
"Xiao Jing, what are you doing, doing this big gift, Yang Shu can't stand it!" Seeing this, Yang Shu hurriedly went to help, "You and I have fallen in love, I have long regarded you as a confidant, and between friends, we should watch and help each other, so we don't have to take it to heart." ”
"You are leaving tomorrow, tonight's banquet is for you to practice, this is a long way to Chang'an, you must take good care of yourself." Yang Shu raised the wine bottle and drank it all, and An Jing and the two also drank together.
As soon as the wine bottle was arrested, someone rushed in: "Hu Lingye! Hu Lingye! ”
The three of them were shocked when they saw this
Yang Shu opened her mouth and asked, "Uncle Jiang, what happened, but someone has an emergency?" ”
Jiang Bo panted and said, "Plague...... There's a plague on the sandbar! I am afraid that a large number of refugees will flee in all directions, and the city lord ordered that the city be sealed after half an hour and not let them in...... In fact, Shazhou came to ask you for a diagnosis more than half a month ago, but the city lord ignored it......"
"Nonsense! Human life is at stake, how can the city lord be so childish. Yang Shu sounded a little angry.
"Actually, I don't blame the city lord, Shazhou County Ling Aicai, I heard that Hu Lingye has excellent medical skills, so I have always wanted to invite Hu Lingye to go, even if someone has a cold, I will use the excuse to invite a return, Shazhou is in the west of the river to the northwest, the road is so far, separated by two large mountain ranges...... The city lord didn't pay attention to it this time. Jiang Bo gradually eased up, and then he came to the original story one by one.
Yang Shu heard these words and made a decision immediately, "Uncle Jiang, let's withdraw this seat." ”
"Hey, okay." Jiang Bo went to clean up the scraps. said that it was a banquet, but in fact, it was only the amount of three people, and it could be cleaned up when talking.
At this time, the doctor also handed the packed salute to Yang Shu.
Yang Shu turned back to An Jing and said, "We have to separate from each other." The epidemic is urgent, and I must rush to the sandbank, and you may have to leave tonight and overnight. ”
An Jing and Mo Bunuo understood that because they had been staying here in Yangshu for a long time, and now that there was a plague, as a doctor, they naturally had to treat the sick and save people, and it was time for them to leave.
Yang Shu walked to the door, and suddenly turned back and hugged An Jing. Her eyes were red, and An Jing couldn't help but start crying when she saw this.
"Sister Yang, you must come back safely, come to Chang'an when you have time, and we will play together." An Jing choked and said.
Yang Shu knew An Jing's worry and reluctance, but she still regarded death as home: "Hmm...... If I can't come back...... Remember to help me return the relics to Yu Kingdom......"
"Sister Yang! Don't talk nonsense! You're so good at medicine, you'll be fine! An Jing cried, helped Yang Shu wipe away her tears, and sent her on the horse.
Yang Shu turned the horse's head, "Try to take the road with fewer people, so that it is not easy to be infected with epidemics." He said to Mo Bunuo again, "Take care of Xiao Jing!" ”
After saying this, he raised his whip and whipped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and the horse was in pain, and the wind galloped out.
"Sister Yang! Take care! ”
An Jing even chased out more than a dozen steps, but she knew that that road was the road that Yang Shu was destined to take.
"She'll be fine." Mo Bunuo patted An Jing on the shoulder behind him, "We should go too." ”
"I don't know when we'll see each other again." An Jing reluctantly turned around, as if her figure was still in the direction Yang Shu left.
--------------------------------------
"Your Excellency...... You haven't closed your eyes in a few days, so take a break. The attendant handed over a cup of tea.
It is said that it is tea, but in fact, it has been brewed several times, and it is already clear water.
Zhang Xianling didn't touch the tea, rubbed his head and asked, "Ren Wu, how long have we been locked down?" ”
"It's been more than a month." The attendant, Ren Wu, replied.
"How long will we have enough food......
"Inadequate...... Two months. ”
Wang Xianling sighed helplessly: "Can anyone reply to the letter sent out?" ”
Ren Wu was silent.
"Jiang Guo? Wangzhou? Danzhou? Oolai? Didn't you get a reply? Wang Xianling is still trying to find a glimmer of hope.
However, Ren Wu's continued silence gave him the answer.
"Forget it, you go down and rest first." Wang Xianling looked at the ever-increasing list of deaths and was worried.
Ren Wu really couldn't stand it: "My lord, it's you who need to rest!" If you're tired, who else can preside over the big picture! Please, go back to your room and rest for a while! Rest assured! I'll let you know as soon as there's news! ”
Wang Xianling naturally understood this truth, and his body was indeed at the limit, but he didn't expect that he would faint when he got together.
When I woke up again, I was greeted by a strange woman in white, although the veil covered her face, she could still vaguely feel the beautiful face behind the veil.
"Lord Wang, are you awake?"
"You are ......" Wang Xianling's mind was a little dizzy.
Ren Wu said excitedly: "My lord! She is Hu Lingye! It was specially rushed before the lockdown of Danzhou. ”
Wang Xianling was shocked when he heard this, this is the famous Hu Lingye! Immediately got out of the stay, knelt directly on the ground and saluted: "Wang has thanked the divine doctor on behalf of more than 80,000 people in Shazhou!" If the divine doctor can come, the people of my sandbank will be saved! ”
"Lord Wang, please get up!" Yang Shu helped Wang Xianling up, "Don't dare to be a miracle doctor!" It is the duty of our doctors to save lives and help the wounded, so how can I thank them. Time is pressing, if Lord Wang is in good health, then tell me about the epidemic as soon as possible. ”
Wang Xianling is also a person who knows the priorities, so he immediately went to find a resting doctor and told Yang Shu about the situation.
"My lord! My lord! Wedding! Wedding! Ren Wu went out to listen to the news, and suddenly stumbled all the way back.
"What's the matter?" Wang Xianling asked.
"Your Excellency!" Ren Wu's joy was overflowing, "The Duhu Mansion has sent something!" Lots of food and herbs! ”
When Wang Xian heard the order, he was also very happy, someone responded, and if the materials were sent, the people of Shazhou would be saved!
"Invite them into town!"
"No!"
Yang Shu and the doctor said in unison. The two looked at each other as a sign of appreciation.
Wang Xianling didn't understand: "Why don't you let it go?" People come all the way to deliver things! ”
Only then did Yang Shu explain: "The people in Shazhou City, everyone may have been infected, if they meet and come into contact with each other, and pass the illness to the people of the Duhu Mansion, then Wulei is the next sandbank, but Wulei is more than 80,000 people." ”
The other healer nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Wang County Commander went to the city gate with the county lieutenant, the chief bookkeeper and others, and led everyone to greet them. The people made a great salute to the people of the capital on the city wall, and although they could not meet each other, they could not lose their courtesy. Moreover, this is gratitude from the bottom of my heart, and this kind of touching in the snow makes Wang Xianling more determined to overcome his thoughts and must overcome the difficulties with the people of Shazhou.
He asked the people of the Imperial Protectorate to unload their things at the gate and leave, and when they were far away, he brought them into the city. At the same time, the royal magistrate also learned from the letter sent that the capital protector tried his best to procure grain from the surrounding rich counties, and even took out the grain produced in the tuntian fields of the capital protection prefecture. At the same time, he has already made a note to Chang'an, and I believe that there will be support from the imperial court soon.
In this way, the sandbar was saved.
"Hu Lingye just stopped the Duhufu army from entering the city, for fear of crossing the illness to them, so when Hu Lingye entered the city by himself, did he also think of this?" Wang Xianling asked.
"My lord, I didn't think about bringing my illness out again since I came in, so I don't need to think about it." Yang Shu smiled and replied lightly.
It's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, Wang Xianling thought to herself, a weak woman, can still not ask for anything in return, put life and death aside, and advance and retreat with the people in the same city. What else do you have to be afraid of?
So he hurried to follow.
