Chapter 246: First Sight of Guo Kui Visit Dong Guo
Wei Si was also shocked when he learned that Zi Lian actually caused the plague because of his own reasons.
"This ...... This...... This...... How can it be? ”
Suddenly, not far away, Zi Lian suddenly shouted.
"I'm so itchy... I'm so itchy... I'm so itchy......! ”
Wei Si hurriedly ran back and hugged Zilian and comforted him.
"Lian'er, you're fine, it's okay, just bear with it, just bear with it!"
Then immediately asked Wei Yu:
"What the hell is going on? Why does Madame have itchy all over her body? ”
Wei Yu's expression was obviously very frightened.
"Lord... Master, do you see that Madame has red spots elsewhere on her body now? ”
Wei Si hurriedly pulled up Zi Lian's sleeve to take a look, and found that some subtle red spots appeared on Zi Lian's body.
"It's... This...... How did it become so fast, wasn't it okay before? ”
Wei Yu hurriedly pulled Wei Si.
"Master, you must not go near Madame again, Madame has red spots all over her body now, if you get close to her, you will also be infected!"
Wei Xing and a few people also came over and pulled Wei Si away from Zilian with Wei Yu.
"The hosts... Master...... You have to take care of yourself now, and that's the most important thing! ”
Two days later.
Wei Xing finally found two sleds from nearby, and then took Wei Si and Zilian to Wuyang, the new capital of Yan Kingdom.
Wei Yu returned to Changcheng with two guards to find an antidote to the plague.
When he was about to arrive in Wuyang City, Nie Xian finally came to greet Wei Si, but at this time, there was also a man dressed as a strange official of the Yan State by Nie Xian's side.
After Nie Xian came over to salute Wei Si, he saw Queen Zilian's haggard appearance, so he asked:
"Ma'am, what's going on?"
Wei Si also said bluntly:
"Madame is infected with the plague!"
This suddenly made Nie Xian take a few steps back.
"You say... You say, husband... Madame, she contracted the plague? ”
Wei Si's expression was very uncomfortable.
"Yes, I don't know if Nie Zhuangshi has a good place to admire his wife?"
Nie Xian looked at the strange official on the side, who hesitated for a moment, and then pointed in the direction of the north of Wuyang City.
"My master has a spare house over there, why don't you go there for a while?"
Nie Xian also said:
"It seems that I can only go over there, otherwise Madame will definitely not be able to enter the city!"
So the official welcomed Wei Zilian to a quiet mansion not far north of Wuyang City, where he lived alone in a small courtyard because Zilian was suffering from the plague.
And Wei Si also asked Wei Xing and several guards to check them one by one, and found that two of them were actually infected with the plague, and immediately placed the two infected with the plague in one place.
The next day, as soon as Wei Si woke up, he heard a burst of knocks on the door outside, only to hear someone outside saying:
"My lord, why did you come here?"
"Stop talking nonsense, is King Wei inside?"
"King Wei? My lord, we don't have King Wei here, right? ”
"Is the master who came to live in our house with a plague-stricken lady the King of Wei?"
"Don't spread the word about this, do you know?"
"If I hear any rumors of King Wei and the plague outside, I'll ask you!"
Then a footstep quietly approached Wei Si's residence.
Wei Si had also gotten up at this time, put on his clothes, and walked out to see that a middle-aged man was talking to Nie Xian and Wei Xing outside his door.
As soon as the middle-aged man saw Wei Si, he immediately knelt down and saluted.
"Meet Mr. Wei at the Minister of State Guo Kui of Xia Yan State!"
Wei Si took the opportunity to take a look at it, and found that this Guo Kui seemed to be really quick-witted, and his expression also revealed an unusual aura, which seemed quite similar to the first time he met Chen Zhen.
After Wei Si reacted, he hurriedly helped up this Guo Kui.
"Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite... No need to be polite, how can I bear it? ”
Guo Kui also looked at Wei Si after getting up.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Wei, you are really as wise and martial as the legend, different, no wonder you can achieve today's hegemony!"
Wei Si invited Guo Kui into his residence and sat down and drank a cup of hot tea together.
"Your Excellency, you King Yan shouldn't know about my coming here, right?"
Guo Kui said with a smile.
"Sir, since you have ordered, do not reveal your whereabouts to anyone, of course, no one will tell our monarch about this!"
Wei Si couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Aren't you afraid that your King Yan will blame you?"
Guo Kui shook his head.
"Our King Yan is magnanimous, and Mr. Wei, you came to Wuyang and didn't enter the city, how could I, Guo Kui, know that you came to our Yan Kingdom?"
Wei Si remembered Yan Guo's recent recruitment of talents.
"Lord Guo Xiang, I heard that you Yanguo recruited talents and recruited talents, right?"
Guo Kui replied:
"I can't say that, our Yan country's recruitment of talents is selected by special auditors, and then the talented ones are sent to my Guo Kui's Prime Minister's Mansion, and then I Guo Kui will look for them again, and finally the people left behind will be sent to our monarch for evaluation, so the recruitment of talents is really presided over by our monarch!"
After listening to the Yan State talent election method, Wei Si couldn't help but say.
"No wonder I, Wei Kingdom, have been a little scarce in recent years, it turns out that I didn't have the heart to do the job of recruiting talents!"
Guo Kui immediately said.
"Sir, your Wei Kingdom is different from my poor Yan Kingdom, if the monarch of our Yan Kingdom doesn't have the heart to personally preside over the recruitment of talents, then who wants to come to my Yan Kingdom?"
"And your Dawei already has a set of policies that are very attractive to talents, and there are opportunities for people in the world to show their ambitions, how can your Dawei be scarce of talents?"
Wei Si looked a little helpless.
"My Great Wei treats the virtuous people really well, but these great virtuous talents have all come to your Yan Kingdom!"
Guo Kui suddenly remembered something at this time.
"Mr. Wei, I remember, there was a very talented Mr. Dongguo in Qi before because he was not reused in Qi State, he went to your country, and he stayed in your country's Great Liang School Palace for three years, but he also had no way to report, so he came to my Yan country to serve, and was recommended by me to our monarch, and now he is awarded the Ji Capital Doctor, who is in charge of the entire old capital of my Yan country!"
"Because this Mr. Dongguo is very good at managing the people, after the capital of our monarch has been moved, the status is still not inferior to our new capital of Yan Wuyang, if Mr. Wei you have time, I can take you to visit this Mr. Dongguo, maybe he will have good words for you."
Wei Si asked.
"But my wife is still here and needs help, if I go to the thistle? This......! ”
Guo Kui said immediately.
"Mr. Wei, before you find the antidote, even if you are here, it will be useless, and some of my disciples who understand medicine have already shown you Madame's illness, and the continuum told me that your Madame's plague may have a way to cure it, so you don't have to worry so much!"
"The thistle is not far from here, and now that the snow on the road has melted, it doesn't take three days to go back and forth, so Mr. Wei, you don't have to worry about this matter at all!"
Wei Si thought about it, after all, Zi Lian really couldn't help himself here, and the purpose of his coming to Yan Country was also to visit the virtuous to learn from Yan Guo's recruitment of talents, since there was such a capable Mr. Dongguo who was not retained by my Great Wei, it must be that there was something wrong with my Great Wei's recruitment strategy, and of course I had to ask him for advice.
So Wei Si accepted Guo Kui's opinion, and the next day he went to Jidu with Nie Xian to visit Mr. Dongguo.
Jidu, the place where Yan once established its capital for 800 years, although it is no longer the place where King Yan lives, it is still prosperous and bustling.
Wei Si and Nie Xian were also walking in the capital of this Ji on this day, looking at the crowds of people in different costumes in the city.
"Nie Zhuangshi, it's the first time I've come to this thistle, it's really strange for people to dress here!"
Nie Xian responded with a smile.
"Many of these people are actually Hu people, because after King Yan moved the capital to Wuyang, in order to prevent this thistle from withering, he turned this thistle into a place to trade with the Hu people!"
Wei Si can be regarded as somewhat understood, because after the Central Plains country moved its capital, the old capital often withered, just like the current Wei State Anyi, even if he set Anyi as the accompanying capital, but still could not save the scene of Anyi withering.
And after the Yan Kingdom moved its capital, the thistle capital was still prosperous, and it turned out that the Hu people were introduced, so that the thistle was not lost to the new capital Wuyang.
Wei Si sighed.
"Although the location of Yan Country is remote, because of its close contacts with the Hu people, it is also a good way to use the Hu people to generate income for themselves!"
"It's a pity that my Wei country spans thousands of miles, but there is no such good conditions!"
After walking for a while, I saw a bearded man in front of me holding a white mink and selling it.
"Selling mink... Sell mink ......! ”
"The best mink is just a slick, just a slick!"
At this time, Wei Si walked up to the Hu man who sold mink skins and carefully looked at the two of them about this mink.
"What a good mink... What a mink! ”
Wei Si thought that he would just buy this mink back and make a shirt for Zi Lian, and he would be happy to wear it when Zi Lian was well, so he asked the seller:
"How do you sell this mink?"
The Hu man glanced at Wei Si with disdain.
"Can you afford my mink?"
Wei Si searched from his arms, only to find out that he had forgotten to bring money, so he found a piece of beautiful jade and put it in front of Hu Ren.
"How about I trade this with you?"
The Hu man took the jade and looked at it, and retreated.
"I don't like your jade, if you really want to buy it, take the money, if you don't have the money to buy it, go aside, don't hinder me from doing business!"
Wei Si glanced at Nie Xian on the side.
"Nie Zhuangshi, do you have enough money to bring?"
Nie Xian shook his head.
"This is too expensive, and I don't have so much money, I'll see Mr. Dongguo later, and ask him to buy it!"
Wei Si nodded.
"Okay, that's the only way to go, I hope this mink won't be bought!"
