Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
On the official road, a carriage slowly moved forward under the escort of the cavalry, Cao Weiyi looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scene outside in front of the car window, he has been in the army since he was a teenager, although he can occasionally go back to Beijing to visit his family, but most of the time he is out fighting, the last time he returned to Beijing, was when his eldest brother Cao Can died, calculating the time, he has not been back for nearly ten years.
After Cao Wei received the holy decree from the imperial court, he also immediately left Gyeongju, mainly because his body was too bad, especially his legs, which were sore when it was cold, and they were even more swollen this year, not to mention riding a horse, he even needed someone to help him walk, plus some other illnesses, which made Cao Wei even more miserable, so he wrote a letter before asking to return to Beijing to recuperate.
Thinking of his condition, Cao Wei couldn't help but beat his legs, although he had other diseases, but the most serious is these legs, which is still the root of the disease when he was in Hebei, I remember that he led his troops to fight with the Liao people, once ambushed in the snow for three days and three nights, and then ambushed a team of Liao cavalry and annihilated them, but since then there have been problems with their legs, and now they are getting more and more serious.
In fact, their Cao Chang people are relatively long-lived, Cao Wei's father Cao Bin, who is also a famous founding general, and finally lived to be sixty-nine years old, and his eldest brother Cao Can, even lived to be seventy years old, but he is not yet sixty years old this year, and it is said that he should have more than ten years of life, but because of these legs, he can no longer stay in the army.
"Father, the capital is ahead, and I have already seen the walls of the capital!" At this moment, I suddenly saw Cao Ma riding a horse to the window and shouted to Cao Wei excitedly, this time he returned to Beijing to recuperate, and Cao Ma also deliberately put down the matter of the musket army to escort him back to Beijing.
Hearing his son's words, Cao Wei also poked his head out and looked forward, and sure enough, he vaguely saw the tall walls of the capital in the heart of the road, which made Cao Wei also excited, it seems that they will be able to arrive in the capital this afternoon, although he often communicates with the family, but he also misses the old wife and children at home very much, especially his grandson has already married a wife, and he doesn't know when he can give him a great-grandson?
"After entering the city, we must visit Brother Li's house, if it weren't for him this time, I'm afraid the court wouldn't easily agree to let your father return to Beijing." At this time, Cao Mata said excitedly again, he has not been back for many years, and even his wife has been taken to live in Gyeongju, and even his son was born there, so he can be regarded as settling in Gyeongju.
Cao Wei also knew that his return to Beijing this time was also thanks to Li Zhang, after all, after he received the will and learned about the martial arts, he had already inquired clearly, so he also nodded at this time and said: "I really want to thank Li Zhang, he not only helped me, but also helped our Great Song Dynasty, if that martial arts can really be established, it will also provide a steady stream of generals for the Great Song Dynasty in the future, so as to solve the situation that no one is available in the army." ”
"If you want me to say that I should have done this a long time ago, a few cousins of the second and third uncle's families are idle all day long, and they don't practice the art of war or learn martial arts, and if they continue to mess around, our Cao family will decline sooner or later in the future!" Cao Mata spoke again at this time, their Cao family has also branched out, and he is already the third generation, but in his generation, there are not many real weapons, most of them have given up the art of war and martial arts left by their ancestors, and indulge in pleasure every day, which Cao Mata also hates very much.
"I also see the decline of Jiangmen, but I have never thought of such a way, now that martial arts are out, those Jiangmen disciples want to enter the army again, they must enter martial arts, and then I will also polish them well, although this may offend some people, but now I can't take care of these." Cao Wei also spoke at the moment, but when he said the end, he showed a little worry, because he was worried about his condition, if he couldn't hold on and fell, I am afraid it would be difficult to find a suitable person to sit in martial arts.
Cao Ma also saw the change in his father's face, and sighed secretly at the moment, he knew his father's condition better than anyone else, not only the climate in the northwest was bitter cold, but also there was no clever doctor, which was also the main reason for his father's condition to deteriorate.
The capital was close at hand, Cao Ma also urged the team to speed up, and in the afternoon, they finally came to the city of Tokyo, and at the same time sent people into the city early to report the news, but when they came to the city gate, there were already many people who came to greet them, most of them were relatives and friends of the Cao family, and Cao Mata saw a person in the crowd who he missed for a long time.
"Brother Li, thank you so much this time!" I saw Cao Ma quickly step forward and salute a young man, this person was Li Zhang, who came to greet Cao Wei, and he also rushed over immediately after receiving the news.
"Brother Cao is polite, these are all things I should do!" Li Zhang also hurriedly returned the salute at this time, and then he followed Cao Yu to salute Cao Wei, and Cao Wei also pulled him for a while, but there were too many people who came to greet him, and Li Zhang was not good at chatting for too long, and finally he made an appointment with Cao Wei to visit, mainly to discuss martial arts, after all, Cao Wei is now inconvenient in his legs and feet, and some things definitely need him to worry about more.
In the end, Li Zhang watched Cao Wei's carriage enter the capital under the support of everyone, and then he also sighed, the last time he saw Cao Wei, the other party could still command thousands of troops to kill the enemy, but now when they meet again, the other party can only sit in the carriage, and his legs are almost crippled, which is undoubtedly extremely cruel for a general.
Three days later, Li Zhang estimated that Cao Wei should have been settled, and they agreed to meet today last time, so Li Zhang prepared it, and there were also several gifts for Cao Wei, the most important of which was a bottle of medicinal wine, which he prepared after knowing that Cao Wei had serious old cold legs.
Li Zhang doesn't know much about Chinese medicine, but there are some records about Chinese medicine in the information on his computer, including this method of brewing medicinal wine for treating rheumatism, and he doesn't know if it's useful, but he still collects all the medicinal materials, and uses the distillation method to distill the high liquor, and after soaking it for a long time, he is ready to try it for Cao Wei.
At that moment, Li Zhang came to the Cao family, the Cao family has a big business, and it has long been separated, Cao Wei has his own separate mansion, when he came here, Cao Ma also immediately greeted him in person, but Li Zhang found that Cao Mata's face was a little wrong, and he couldn't help asking: "Brother Cao, what's wrong, is there something in the house?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that my father has been tired all the way, and I just returned to the capital and was a little uncomfortable, so I got sick again." Cao Mata sighed at this time and said.
