According to the prescription, he first took thirty packs of medicine, and Bailiyan quickly left the palace to rush to Xiangguo's mansion, and met Fan Tao on the way:

"Yan Gongzi is a good doctor."

"I don't know what Master Fan has to say."

"According to the edict of my king, from today onwards, in order to cure the chronic disease of Xiangguo, I order Baili Yan, the proton of Qiguo, not to leave the three boundaries of the palace, the Sima Mansion of the city government, and the Xiangguo Mansion, and the violators will be severely punished!"

"You, you deceive people too much, this son wants to see the disciprocal envoy!"

"I'm very sorry for Yan Gongzi, the king learned that Xiangguo was hopefully cured, and he was very relieved, and he had summoned Zhang Qi, the envoy of the country, and made a good alliance with gold, silver and jade. Therefore, Master Zhang Qi is already on the way out of the city at this time, if Yan Gongzi has anything to say, he can also relay it on his behalf. ”

"You!" Baili Yan was angry, his chest sank, his eyes were almost blackened, and he thought to himself, this is a fucking plan.

Seeing that Bailiyan's eyes changed greatly, Fan Tao said proudly:

"Since Yan Gongzi has already grabbed the medicine, please decoct the medicine for Xiangguo. Come! ”

"No!"

The palace guards on the left and right stepped forward, and Fan Tao ordered:

"According to the order of the king, from today onwards, I will protect Yan Gongzi, if there is any mistake, or leave the above three realms, you and the others will be severely punished."

"No, obey the king's orders."

Fan Tao decided that Bailiyan would not dare to murder Xiangguo's uncle Kuo, if Uncle Kuo did not reach Bailiyan's prediction, King Jin could also use an excuse to kill Bailiyan, so Bailiyan could only bite the bullet and treat Uncle Kuo.

Similarly, Bailiyan can't return to the mansion, which means that no one can be contacted during the period, and the Jin Kingdom can refuse to visit people from the Proton Mansion for other reasons, which means that it has been set aside now. If you don't get Xiangguo's death date, it is the death date of his Baili Yan.

In order to prevent Bailiyan from escaping, the King of Jin selected fifty elite armor soldiers from the palace guard, and kept an eye on Bailiyan all the way, without giving a chance to escape.

At the same time, soon after Zhang Qi received the edict of the King of Jin to marry the Qi Kingdom, he was preparing to transfer foreign affairs and return to the Qi Kingdom with gifts. About before dark, Zhang Qi came to the Proton Mansion and saw the steward He Kuan:

"Why, the son of the world still hasn't returned?"

"Yes, Zhang Envoy, the old man has sent people to inquire many times, and the Jin people all say that the prince is still diagnosing and has not yet come out, and the old man has nothing to do."

"Shhh...... It's strange, what kind of illness did Xiangguo get, and he needed His Royal Highness the Prince to go to the clinic in person. ”

"The old man doesn't know, but if the son doesn't return, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

"I'm afraid so. Before coming down, I wanted to see His Highness, but I never thought that His Highness had not returned so far, and now I can only bother with the steward to send a message to His Highness. ”

"Zhang envoy said it was okay."

"In the next place, it is indispensable to delay the time, if there is an accident during the period, you can conspire with the master of the Ligong faction, Wu Suan, and others must not be trusted."

"The old man understands, please rest assured."

"Okay, the old man will be on the road tomorrow, if His Royal Highness has not returned to the house, you can quickly go to the Tongwen Yuan to inform the Ximen Academy."

Zhang Qi has stayed in the Jin Kingdom for many years, and knows that Bailiyan has a close relationship with the Ximen family, and the Ximen family is a close friend of Wu Shu, and there is a friendship with Sai Qian, and the three of them are somewhat influential. So if you have any difficulties, you can get some help from Ximenhua and Wu Shu.

On the night when Zhang Qi met He Kuan, Bailiyan did not return overnight, and the next day Zhang Qi went out of the city, Bailiyan still did not appear.

From this day on, Bai Liyan was placed under house arrest in three places: Xiangguo Mansion, Wang Shuo's Mansion and Jin Palace, and there were Jin State palace guards to follow him when he came and went, and there were palace guards surrounding the entire Wang Shuo Mansion at night, and it was impossible to escape. He Kuan came to the door many times, but failed to see Bailiyan as he wished, and the matter has developed to this point, and the crisis is imminent.

Not long after taking the Baili Yan prescription, Uncle Kuo's condition stabilized, but he did not improve. In fact, it can't get better, the reason is very simple, with the current drug power, it can only slow down the spread of tuberculosis cells, and after the physical fitness improves, it is only barely stable and the symptoms are not cured.

Tuberculosis has a lot to do with the patient's physique, the strong immune system is strong, the tuberculosis hepatobacteria will automatically choose to dormant and latent, the elderly are weak, once the host immune system is weakened by the tuberculosis bacillus, it immediately begins to recover the spread rate, so just taking decoction can not solve the problem at all.

And Uncle Kuo is almost seventy, if he wants to get better, I'm afraid that even if he takes antibiotics, he may not be able to save his life.

On this day, fifteen days after Bai Liyan was placed under house arrest in disguise, the weather gradually turned cooler, Bai Liyan returned to Wang Shuo's mansion in the afternoon and saw Wang Rui reading a book in the inner courtyard:

"Brother Yanzi, I came back early today."

"Oh, Sangkook's condition has eased, so he came back earlier. Why, when did Rui Niang read the book. ”

"It's the family tree that my mother asked her daughter to see, saying that her mother would go back to her hometown in a few days."

"Provincial?"

Bailiyan wondered, this is not a New Year's holiday. And this year's national drought, are you not afraid of accidents on the road? While thinking about it, Wang Rui said again:

"By the way, Brother Yanzi, Sister Yunfang came to look for you at noon today, I asked my sister to go to Xiangguo Mansion, but Brother Yanzi saw it?"

"Nope."

"How so?"

"Don't mention it, I'll go prepare tonight's meal first, and wait for my father-in-law to return home later, and then I'll discuss it separately."

Ximen Yunfang came to look for herself, it was all reasonable, and even He Kuan and other people should have come to find it, since she hadn't seen it, and she didn't even know it at all, it was obvious that the Jin people were obstructing it.

Wang Rui's brain is not bright, she can't imagine that it is greasy, and it is not logical at all that she wants to go back to her hometown to save her relatives.

Seeing that the war was about to start, how could Wang Shuo, the family of generals in Gyeonggi and other important places, let him go at this moment, it was obvious that the King of Jin must have agreed, and even the King of Jin arranged it single-handedly.

Then the question arises, is it a special case of Wang Shuo's family, or a common phenomenon. Either way, it's not normal. Or was it directed at him in the first place?

After thinking about it to no avail, Bailiyan returned to his bedroom, filled the medicine box with some things, and then went to the stove room.

At the same time, in the main hall of the inner courtyard of the Tongwen Garden, Ximen Hua was eating and drinking with Wu Shuan, and it was Baili Yan who was talking:

"Wu Suan, today the old man asked Yun Fang to go to Wang Shuo's Mansion, and then he was sent to Xiangguo's Mansion, but he was closed, you see how this matter is."

"The sailor warships have set off one after another, and the old man thinks that at the end of September and the beginning of October, or November, there will be a war."

"That being the case, why did King Jin put Gongzi Yan under house arrest at this time, why did he have to kill him?"

"Not necessarily, it is rumored that Uncle Kuo is critically ill, and he will turn the corner under the treatment of Bailiyan, if he had killed him, he would have been killed a long time ago, and it would not have been delayed to this day. It's just that I can't figure it out, why does Uncle Kuo's illness have to be diagnosed and treated by Bailiyan, could it be that the rumors about Uncle Kuo's illness are wrong? ”

"I think that's all there is to it. If Uncle Kuo does not die for a day, Bailiyan will be worry-free for a day, and if Uncle Kuo dies, it is difficult to say. ”

"Well, it's possible." Wu Suan agreed, and then took a sip of the liquor brewed by Baili Yan, and praised endlessly: "This fine wine really satisfies my cravings, but it's a pity that ......"

Without waiting for the voice to fall, Ximen Yunfang pushed the door and entered:

"Grandfather, Master Wu Shu, He Kuan, the steward of the Proton Mansion of Qiguo, has arrived."

"Oh." Wu Suan's eyes lit up: "Quickly invite him over." ”

"Yun Fang understands."

When Ximen Yunfang retreated, Wu Suan asked Ximen Hua:

"The old man was not here before, He Kuanke has been to your house."

"After coming, the old man couldn't do anything, so he could only send him home. Now that you have just returned from the river, you must have received the news. ”

"Well, this must be for Bailiyan, but how to deal with this matter."

Wu Suan expected that Jin Guo would not let anyone see Bailiyan, even if he went out in person, I am afraid that he would not be able to see Bailiyan, and he may not get an honorarium, which is also Wu Suan's weakness. When He Kuan heard the news and came back, he must have come to ask himself to come forward.

So after a while, He Kuan entered and saw the two of them:

"The old man has seen Master Wu Shu, Ximen Deacon."

"No courtesy, no courtesy. What's the matter, the old man knows that you are here for Bailiyan, but this matter is very tricky. ”

"I know it below, but now the disagreement envoy is not there, and the people who stay in the post house can't see the King of Jin, and the old man has asked to see him many times but has not been able to get his wish, and he also asks Master Wu Shu to give him some advice."

"Alas...... This is easier said than done, but it is only because Your Royal Highness is too sharp, and as a result, he was secretly calculated by his uncle. ”

"Could it be that His Royal Highness my family will not be able to escape this fate."

He Kuan was anxious, but Wu Suan said:

"It's not that there is no way, for today's plan, only when the golden cicada comes out of its shell can Bailiyan turn the corner into safety."

"Please also ask the master to give advice, and I will hear the details in the next wish."

"Baili Yan has medical skills, and now the Jin Kingdom is about to raise troops, and there is a lack of Lang Zhong in the army. And Baili Yan's father-in-law, Wang Shuo, is the Sima of the capital city, a rare good general in the Jin army, and one of the few people who can be recruited. Therefore, the old man thought that the king of Jin would definitely send his overseers, and in this case, Baili Yan could invite himself to go with the army, so that he could accompany Wang Shuo, which was reasonable and reasonable.

Second, the old man and Sai Qian once talked about Baili Yan's martial arts, although the spear skills are still lacking in fire, but compared with ordinary soldiers and soldiers, it is more than enough to deal with one or two, so if Bai Li Yan can accompany the army, he can choose the opportunity to get off the reins and never return. ”

"What if King Jin doesn't allow it."

"Your Royal Highness has only one way out, and there is no other way, so if the King of Jin does not allow it, I am afraid that there will be no other way in the short term."

Wu Shu and Fan Tao wanted to go together, Fan Tao wanted to kill Bailiyan after the expedition, and Wu Suan wanted Bailiyan to escape on the way out, obviously both measures could happen.

And coincidentally, on the night after Wu Suan and Ximen Hua He Kuan talked, in the study of Sima Wang Shuo's Mansion in the city government, Wang Shuo called Bailiyan to speak:

"It's been six years since the little girl Rui'er and the prince set a wedding ceremony."

In front of Wang Shuo, Bailiyan was honest and respectful, and he didn't dare to have any sharpness, he said:

"Yes father-in-law, it's been six years."

"Well...... Wang Shuo twisted his cheeks, and then said: "Rui'er's illness is also carefully regulated by the prince, so that he can have today's complexion, and I, Wang Shuo, am grateful......

"My father-in-law is serious, it's really a matter of duty, so why worry about it."

"That being the case, there is still a reluctant request for the father, and I don't know if the son can accept it."

"Father-in-law, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"For my father, I received the king's edict, and soon I will lead the troops westward. There are not enough people in the army, so I want the prince to go out with the army, what does the prince want. ”

"On the march?" Bai Liyan was surprised, and he was extremely reluctant in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "My father-in-law should know that I am the son of the Qi Kingdom, how can I go out for the Jin Kingdom." ”

"The son of the world is not only the son of the Qi Kingdom, but also the proton of the Jin Kingdom, and he is also the son of the father and son-in-law, Langzhong of Pingtang City can also go out with the army, can the son of the world bear to see the blood of my Jin soldiers stained the battlefield without medical treatment?"

Wang Shuo asked, and Bai Liyan found himself speechless and difficult to refute.

The reason is very simple, his father-in-law wants to go to the front line, and as a quasi-son-in-law or a doctor, he should accompany him. But doesn't Wang Shuo have a son, a father and son soldier who fights and fights! That's right, but a few days ago, Wang Li was ordered to escort Liang Guo's borrowed grain, and he had already left first.

Bailiyan, as a son-in-law and a doctor who rejuvenates her hand, has no reason not to go. But I am a son of a disgraced country, not a flat-headed common man, so it doesn't make sense for me to go to the front. So Wang Shuo hangs himself on the benchmark of morality, and you have to go if you don't go.

And if you don't go, with Wang Shuo's temper, you can drag yourself away, it's really not good, come to the door of the thousands of troops and thousands of people to ask for your life, you want to go by yourself, can you not go when the time comes.

But if you go, it's likely to be a poisonous ploy.

In case he dies on the front line, he can tell whether he was killed by the people of the Jin State or by the people of the Xian Kingdom, anyway, when the time comes, the Jin State will have the final say, and he will have to blackmail the country, and Bai Liyan can naturally think of these situations.

But on second thought, what if it was really a poisonous plan?

If it was Fan Tao or Uncle Kuo's poisonous plan, he would inevitably think that he was young and couldn't think of this layer, so he had to go under Wang Shuo's combination of soft and hard. If you don't go, you won't be able to think of this as well, but force them to find a way to kill themselves in advance.

If it is not good, Uncle Kuo would rather suffocate himself to death, and when the time comes, it is not impossible to blame him, whether he will take medicine and eat to death.

Moreover, today, Wang Rui suddenly mentioned the matter of saving relatives, which was clearly intended to avoid the news of his death, which brought an impact to Wang Rui, and he could delay it for a day, so he confirmed the fact that he killed himself halfway.

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan said tentatively:

"Father-in-law, now that Xiangguo is terminally ill and has eased a little, I will go out with the army, in case it ......"

"That being the case, the prince should carefully prepare good medicine before setting out on the expedition for the Xiangguo to drive."

Wang Shuo said without any leeway, Bailiyan knew that he couldn't escape:

"This ......"

"Why, a dignified seven-foot man, he is still afraid of the battlefield. In vain, you and Sai Qian have studied art for many years, and now they are just in the army, so they are afraid of danger and are greedy for life and death, if you return to Qi Country in the future, how to explain to King Qi for your father, you have to let King Qi denounce him for being his father's discipline. ”

Wang Shuo's words were fierce, and if he was someone else, he had already been provoked by the Fa and was so embarrassed and embarrassed that he had to prove that he was not a coward.

But Bailiyan is not stupid, can he believe this kind of nonsense, he is Wang Shuo's son-in-law, his father-in-law even harms his son-in-law, what can it be a good thing, but if he doesn't go, he will wait for death.

After thinking about it, Bailiyan decided to go. The official road is slowly thousands of miles away, and there is always a chance to escape on the way. Thinking of this, he said:

"The father-in-law wants the son of this world to follow the army, and the son of this world will obey."

"In this case, the son of the world has a good rest today. The king will soon send troops to fight, and he must be prepared properly and can be written down. ”

"Write it down!"

"Well, let's rest."

With a slight salute, Bailiyan turned around and left. Wang Shuo looked at his back with complicated eyes, and his heart was contradictory and heavy.

As a father, he was unwilling to disappoint his daughter, but as a courtier, he could not go against the king's will, either disloyal or unfilial, loyalty and filial piety were difficult to complete, Wang Shuo resolutely chose the latter.

Similarly, as Wang Shuo's nominal son-in-law, Bai Liyan clearly knew that there was not much time left for him, and he would either flee now or slip away on the march, and there was no other choice. But now that he is under house arrest, if he flees in a hurry, he will implicate dozens of people such as He Kuan of the Proton Mansion, although Bai Liyan knows that in the context of this era, human life is only a victim of the will of the monarch.

That night, Bailiyan couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. Faintly, it seems that the roar of the war drums, the shouts of the battlefield fighting, the sorrowful roar of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, the starvation of dry bones, the prelude to the great era is opening, and the real troubled times are coming!
