Chapter 137: Suddenly
In the winter of the third year of Lin'an, the barbarians united with the Xiongnu to launch the final battle, and Wang Zhan Ge led the soldiers to meet the battle and successfully blocked it.
Recovering all the occupied cities, and even directly occupying the territory of Dayi to the north, it looked small, but it was a great success.
After the successful signing of the treaty, Zhan Ge led his troops back to the city, and after re-arming the army, he prepared to return triumphantly.
When the news reached the capital, not to mention how excited the court was, it was happy that this belated happy event was to be side by side with the palace.
After knowing that Zhan Ge was about to come back, Yan Wu's tears fell without warning, God blessed, fortunately Zhan Ge came back safely.
So, is this calamity even if it is over?
"Madam, this is a happy event, the general is finally able to return." Shuangshuang supported Yan Wushuang and cried with joy.
Yan Wushuang no longer knows what kind of emotions he should be, whether to cry or laugh, so that he can be more comfortable and behave more naturally.
"yes, I'm finally back......"
The mansion he had prepared for himself was finally able to welcome back its original owner.
After thinking about it day and night in the past few months, I was finally able to fulfill my wish.
"Go and see, is there enough in the house? I remember that Zhan Ge loves to eat fish, you remember to prepare more, and when he comes back, he must taste what I made. Northern Xinjiang is cold and bitter, he must have wanted to eat for a long time. ”
"Madame, don't worry, everything in the house is very well prepared, and the general has everything he wants to eat."
The so-called concern is chaos, and that's it.
Gently rubbing his forehead, Yan Wushuang smiled bitterly, with a little helplessness: "Okay, you go down, tell the people in the house to clean up all the places, and wait for Zhan Ge to come back, I will also calm down for a while."
"Yes, ma'am." With a smile in his eyebrows, he bowed and retreated, and the moment he closed the door, tears fell like rain.
Frightened for so long, how calm she behaved, how frightened she was in her heart, in this life, she never wanted to have such an attempt again.
Hearing the crying in the room, both sighed softly, and stayed outside, it's okay to cry, if you cry, you don't have to keep it in your heart, Mrs. is like that, and it hurts to look at it.
Just when the entire capital was looking forward to Zhan Ge's return, he had an accident.
"General, you seem to be ......" After the military doctor took the pulse, his face was frightened, and he didn't dare to look at the pale face and sharp eyes on the bed.
Mo Shang glanced at Zhan Ge: "The military doctor said, no matter what it is, the general must always know."
"This seems to be the plague on the Huns' side, but it is a little different, according to the good observation of the subordinates these times, this disease is not contagious."
The military doctor knelt on the ground, and he was extremely scared in his heart, if Zhan Ge did not go back, or if something happened, they would not be able to escape responsibility.
Mo Shang looked stunned for a moment, and rushed to the military doctor, his expression a little hideous: "You say, how should this be treated?"
"General, Ink Guard, this ...... At present, there is no charter, so I can only wait for the consultation of the Imperial Doctor Chang and others after returning to the capital. ”
The military doctor was grabbed by the collar, and his life was threatened, but he calmed down: "Ink guard, general, what the subordinates said is true, I don't know where the barbarians got such a disease, but I have never encountered it before."
Just when Mo Shang kept asking, Zhan Ge, who was lying on the bed, sat up, his face was extremely pale, and his lips were a little purple, that is, his eyes were extraordinarily bright, so bright that people were very frightened.
"Ink merchant, let him go down."
Unwillingly letting go of the military doctor, Mo Shang looked worried and sad, and the military doctor hurriedly retreated after saluting.
"General, it was the mistake of your subordinates that caused you to suffer such a thing." The ink merchant knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, and his whole person was full of sadness.
Zhan Ge's expression was calm, but his slightly trembling arm revealed his mood: "Don't tell the capital about this matter, although the military doctor said that this will not be contagious, but no one knows, wait until you return to Beijing, after being consulted by the imperial doctor, let's talk about it."
"Yes...... Where is Madame? ”
Mo Shang didn't dare to look up at Zhan Ge, for fear of seeing the general's eyes, he wanted to kill the barbarians again.
The people above were silent for a while, and after a while, Mo Shang heard Zhan Ge's voice: "Don't say it, she's happy now, instead of letting her worry from now on, it's better to go back and talk about it."
His eyes drooped slightly, and Zhan Ge clenched his fists, but he was not as powerful as before, what was going on with this disease? Why is it him, and why is this time?
Wushuang, I'm sorry, I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my promise......
"Go and send a letter to King Sheng and explain it, and Wei Guogong will also say that they have traveled to the rivers and lakes for many years and know a lot of people, so they may be able to find a way."
It's just that Zhan Ge is still unwilling to give up, he doesn't want to, let other men accompany Yan Wushuang, watch her laugh, and watch her make trouble.
A bright light flashed in Mo Shang's eyes: "What the general said is that his subordinates will arrange it, the general should pay attention to his body, this is only a dozen days away from the capital, and he will have to take a carriage on the way back from the general."
Zhan Ge's body gradually lost strength, and now it was less than half of his previous strength, if he continued like this, would he have to lie in bed in the future?
This is the first time he has encountered such an uncontrollable thing.
Since he was a child, he lost his parents and lived alone in a huge mansion, which was later the General's Mansion, and then later, with Wushuang, he finally became popular, if it was ......
A letter was sent to the Wei Mansion by Mo Dark's fast horse, and the horses were a little unable to hold on to the road for several days, and as soon as Mo Dian arrived at the gate of the capital, the horse was so tired that he was foaming at the mouth, obviously not working.
When Mo was in a hurry, the guard next to him recognized the totem on his clothes: "You are the person from the palace side by side?" If there's something to do, go first, the horses stay here and we'll take care of them. ”
"I'm sorry for your trouble, there is an urgent matter now, thank you another day."
After saying that, he took up the light gong and left quickly, and when his figure disappeared, the guards hurriedly led a few people to move the horse to the side, and it was also an honorable thing to be able to talk to the people who were side by side with the palace.
Unexpectedly, the people in the palace are still so polite, and they are really much better than the guards of many families in the capital.
At the gate of the capital, there are not a few people who come every day, and the news about the side by side palace soon spread all over the capital.
In the Mansion of the Duke of Wei, Wei Guocheng and His Royal Highness King Sheng were chatting and drinking tea, and the wine in the mansion was sealed by the Duchess of Wei, and only tea could be regarded as a formality.
"My lord, Your Highness, a guard from the side of the king has come with a letter, saying that it must be handed over to you personally." The little guy saluted and greeted him, a little puzzled, isn't the king coming back soon?
King Sheng and Wei Guogong glanced at each other, both puzzled: "Go and invite someone in."
"Yes."
Just when the two were speculating, Mo Dian hurriedly came, the whole person was very tired, but his spirit was high: "I have seen Lord Guogong, His Royal Highness King Sheng, I have something important to report."
Handing the letter to Lord Wei Guogong, Mo Yin was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and King Sheng personally poured him a cup of tea and let him rest for a while.
The main thing is that there is no one to hear what is said here, so naturally there is no one to serve.
“…… How so? What the hell is going on? The more Wei Guogong looked at it, the more angry he became, he hadn't been so aggressive for a long time, King Sheng glanced at it suspiciously, took the letter over, and after a while, he had the same reaction as Wei Guogong.
"This matter may be a conspiracy of the barbarians, but now that the contract has been signed, even if it is a calculation, it can't take their lives. It's just a pity that the general, and the military doctor has no choice, only that it will not be contagious, but the general's weakness day by day makes his subordinates feel guilty. ”
Mo Di simply sat on the ground, leaning against the pillar behind him, and he really didn't have any extra strength.
The corners of King Sheng's mouth were a little smiling, but his eyes were unkind and cold: "Don't worry, there will be a way, there are still about ten days before Zhan Ge comes back, so I will write a letter and summon them to come, so that I can show Zhan Ge."
"Don't worry, the divine doctor happened to live in Qinglong Temple recently, and his junior brother is the ghost doctor who likes to study strange and incurable diseases the most in the rivers and lakes, and he will be in the capital in a few days."
folded the letter in his hand, this matter, until the last moment, can not let anyone know.
"When the time comes, you remember to bring Zhan Ge back to the side by side palace, I remember that the courtyard next door to the palace was also rowed over at that time, and it happened to be there, as for the capital, the matter will be handed over to us, although there is age, but these things are still okay, as long as Zhan Ge can get better."
Mo Shang propped himself up, knelt down on one knee, and was extremely respectful: "Mo Shang thank His Royal Highness and Guogong for my master." ”
Letting go of one thing, the ink merchant had tiredness on his face.
Wei Guogong sighed and comforted him: "Don't worry, it'll be fine, you can rest in the mansion for a few days now, and then go back after Zhan Ge arrives, as for the county lord, I won't tell her." ”
"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty." The ink merchant was taken down to rest by the little servant, and there was silence for a long time in the small pavilion.
How many things King Sheng has experienced, he is still so mixed at this moment, the tea cup in his hand trembled for a long time and could not be sent to his lips, so he could only put it on the table, his face was full of vicissitudes and tiredness.
"What happened this time is that we can't stand the war, and we can't stand the Wushuang...... In any case, we have to save him, and I am going to the palace to go to this matter, and the Holy One must know about it. ”
Wei Guogong hesitated a little: "The saint is still young, if he knows about this matter, he will definitely not be able to bear it in his heart." ”
"He wants to know what someone has paid for his empire, and I don't want to."
