Chapter 503: Deathbed Arrangements
The second Tea Horse Market was held as scheduled, and talented businessmen once again gathered in Chicheng and Yexian to enjoy this business feast together.
The two places are still as lively as last year, but anyone who is a little more sensitive can feel the difference between the two places.
The biggest difference is that although Akagi can still often hear all kinds of rumors about Qin Wang, and can still see various orders stamped with his great seal from time to time, it seems that he hasn't seen him for a long time. He has always been hands-on in everything, and he seems to have retreated into the background, handing over the affairs of the tea and horse market to Dong Zhuang.
Xiao Ding went to Chicheng in person before the tea horse market was opened, and discussed relevant matters with Qin Wang, but did not see him in person. Jin Li was also received by Dong Zhuang because the Fire Dragon King had eliminated the bandits and asked him to discuss the next step of cooperation. In short, Qin Forget seemed to have suddenly disappeared, just like he had suddenly risen.
All of a sudden, rumors were rampant, and all parties secretly showed their magical powers, but there was no news that Qin had forgotten. There are also many bold guys who sneak into Qin Wang's residence to inquire about the news, and without exception, they all go and never return.
Qin Wang's residence was brightly lit, and his room was full of the leaders of the entire Akagi Group, and everyone silently looked at Qin Wang, who was lying on the bed, and they all secretly wept.
Qin Wang's situation was already extremely bad, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as dying. His sideburns were all white, and even his hair was mixed with a lot of gray hair. People have long been thin and out of shape, and their eye sockets are particularly prominent. It turned out that the long, narrow, bright eyes were cloudy, and there was no energy in them.
No one expected that Qin Wang's situation would deteriorate so quickly, since the beginning of summer, probably because of the scorching hot weather, Qin Wang's body has taken a sharp turn like an avalanche, and in less than a month, he will be completely bedridden. Even if Chen Wan'er and other daughters forbade him to contact any government affairs, it still did not get better. In August, Qin forgot that his deadline had come, so he specially gathered all his subordinates back.
"Lord Dong, what the hell is going on, General? It's only been more than half a year, why is this like this? Ding Chen wiped his tears and asked Dong Zhuang Xingshi.
Hearing Ding Chen's question, Dong Zhuang was just silent and did not make any answer.
"Master Dong, please give us an explanation." Seeing that Dong Zhuang just didn't speak, Cao Qing also said dissatisfied.
"What do you mean by two brothers? Do you think that General Dong assassinated the general? Seeing Ding Chen and the two of them attacking Dong Zhuang, Wang Ping couldn't stand it anymore and said in a deep voice.
"What do I mean by this, you should know, the general has such a big thing, why only you know? I now have serious doubts about whether the General's illness has anything to do with you. Ding Chen's face turned cold, and he blurted out.
At such a time, the factions of the Akagi Group appeared again, especially the most powerful Akagi County military faction
and the Qinjia village system, even if there are no interests involved, the contradictions between the two sides are intensifying at the fastest speed.
"Ding Chen, it's my Dong Zhuang's fault that I didn't take care of the general, but if you accuse me of harming the general, I will definitely not agree." Hearing Ding Chen say this, Dong Zhuang finally stopped being silent and said very unhappily.
"We didn't suspect General Dong, we just wanted to know what was going on with all this." Su Dingnan took over the conversation, and this time he was rarely on Ding Chen's side.
"Yes, General Dong, their young people are inevitably a little impulsive when they speak, what is going on in this matter, please tell us in detail." Seeing that a few people were about to quarrel, Yin Xian stood up and played a round game.
"This matter is that I can't help everyone, it's just the general's strict order, and I have to obey it." Dong Zhuang sighed and said dejectedly.
"I just want to know, does General Yang know?" Ding Chen interjected again.
"Ding Chen, what do you mean? Something to say! Wang Ping was really angry this time, but he didn't blame him, Ding Chen's words were really out of place. Even Yin Xian, Wang Wen and the others couldn't help frowning when they heard this. Ding Chen is still too young, if this is not conducive to unity, how can he say it at this time.
"Enough, what are you arguing about at this time?" Chen Wan'er pushed the door and walked in at this time, holding a medicine bottle in her hand, "This matter has nothing to do with Dong Zhuang, the general has long been ill, and only a few of us know the inside story." If I don't tell us, I don't believe you, but I'm afraid that you will be out of proportion. ”
At that moment, Chen Wan'er told Ding Chen and the others about this matter as it was.
Hearing Chen Wan'er say this, Ding Chen and the others stopped talking, looking at Qin Wang, who was unconscious on the bed, his face was full of solemnity. For such a long time, Qin Forget has been the backbone of these people, and if Qin Forget is gone, these people really don't know what to do. Everyone was very panicked, except for praying that Qin Forget would wake up and recover quickly, they really didn't know what to do.
Chen Wan'er walked up to Qin Wang's side and took out a pill from the medicine bottle, "This is the Great Return Pill, given to him by a master, saying that it can save his life once." I had already advised him to eat it, but he always said it was not the right time. I know he wants to wait until now, and he doesn't feel at ease if he doesn't explain things to you clearly. Chen Wan'er whispered as she put the elixir into Qin Wang's mouth.
That Da Huan Dan is really the treasure of the world, as soon as it entered Qin Wang's mouth, it immediately melted, and when he didn't see Qin Wang's swallowing action, it automatically rolled into his throat. It didn't take a few breaths to wake up, his face was full of redness, and his eyes were even more radiant.
When everyone saw Qin Wang's appearance, they secretly screamed in their hearts, feeling that Qin Wang's return to the light.
"All here?" Seeing that the room was full of people, Qin Wangqiang smiled,
Said in a hoarse voice.
"General!" Seeing Qin Wang's weak appearance, Ding Chen and the others had a sour nose and knelt down in unison. Everyone was accustomed to Qin Wang's strong and capable appearance, and they were all used to his omnipotent appearance, and the first time they saw Qin Wang so helpless, everyone had a sense of desolation in their hearts.
"What is this for? Get up for me, you've been with me for so long, and you know I don't like this. Qin Forget frowned and said unhappily.
"General!" Ding Chen screamed, tears flowed out of his eyes at once, "General, if you have three long and two short, Ding Chen will also accompany you, and continue to follow you below." ”
As soon as Ding Chen finished saying this, he immediately got the approval of Cao Qing and Wang Ping, and the death of a confidant was vividly reflected in them.
"Confused!" How do you know that Qin Forget didn't appreciate it at all, and his pale little face was almost blue, "What do I want you to do with the funeral?" You have to live well, for the sake of Akagi. When I go, the most reassuring thing is Akagi. ”
"Don't say these words, we have all gathered the thousand-year-old ginseng, Shou Wu, and iceberg snow lotus, and we are just about to recite the dragon beard of the Dao Chief, and he will definitely come back." Hearing Qin Wang's depression, Huang Chuchu said with a complaining face.
"Yes, Brother Forget, Wei Nian Dao has such a great ability, and he will definitely come back to save you." Qin Qing also hurriedly comforted.
"It doesn't matter, I can feel it, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through tonight." Qin Forget smiled slightly, "Tianxiang, doesn't Yang Xuan have any news yet?" ”
"General, I'm afraid General Yang won't be able to come back in a short time." Dong Tianxiang replied, "I just received the news that Yeluqi and Wan Qisong have also killed the territory of the Murowei people, and even if General Yang receives the assistance of several ships and materials from the Fire Dragon King, it is not so easy to defeat Yeluqi. Now the war between the two sides is in a state of stalemate. ”
Hearing this conversation between the two, everyone in the room was confused, they thought that Yang Xuan was thinking about it in the monkey's nest, but they didn't expect Yang Xuan to run to the Murwei in the extreme north.
"You don't need to know that clearly." Qin Forget sighed, "This matter is the same as my condition, it is all top secret in Akagi, if anyone dares to reveal half a word, don't blame me for not being emotional." ”
Everyone was awe-struck and quickly nodded in agreement. Concerning the secrets of the head and second of the Akagi Group, no one dares to talk nonsense.
Qin Forget turned his head to look at Dong Zhuang, looking at this calm, forbearing, but timid and indecisive eldest brother, and sighed softly, "Brother Dong, I appreciate your steadiness, but I can't hand over Chicheng to you." You have too many worries, and you lack a bit of motivation to do things. Yang Xuan may not be as good as you in many aspects, but he is more courageous than you, Akagi handed it over to him, plus your assistance, I can rest assured. ”
