Without Xue Shao's expected bending, or even superfluous conversations, the hundred-year-old Taoist Sun Simiao, who was dressed in a fairy spirit, said simply after meeting Xue Shao, "Where is Gong Pei?" The poor road goes down the mountain with you! ”

The Taoist servant in Tsing Yi was stunned, "Master, your old man hasn't come down the mountain for ten years!" ”

"Why do you need to say more?" Sun Simiao said, "Human life is greater than the sky, what about Pei Gong's life? - Pack up, go down! ”

"Yes!"

The Taoist servant in Tsing Yi put two large medical boxes on top of the donkey and tied them firmly. Although Sun Simiao is proficient in the art of health preservation and is well maintained, after all, he is already a hundred-year-old, Xue Shao was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the bumps of the horse, so he dismantled a door panel and made a step and carried him down the mountain with the moon slave!

Sun Simiao didn't prevaricate too politely, and sat down on top of Buyu with one knee crossed. From this place to Wenxi County, the mountain road is rugged. It may not be a big deal for a young man like Xue Shao, but for him, a centenarian who hasn't gone down the mountain for ten years, it's really a severe test.

Soon after, the Tsing Yi Taoist led the donkey and two horses to lead the way, and Xue Shao and Yuenu carried Sun Simiao one after the other, and slowly walked down the Doumu Peak step by step.

The two were very careful and walked steadily.

Sun Simiao sat cross-legged on top of the step, closed his eyes and meditated, and didn't say a word on the way.

Xue Shao's self-thinking body is quite good, but it is really a bit choking to carry a person down the mountain on such a steep and slippery peak. Not to mention the moon slave, no matter how strong her martial arts are, she is a woman after all, and she can't bear it if she doesn't go far.

I had to stop and rest.

Sun Simiao still sat with his eyes closed and sat cross-legged pranayama, like a sculpture, motionless and not saying a word.

The Taoist servant in Tsing Yi explained to Xue Shao that after all, Shizun was already a hundred-year-old man, and he was embarrassed and tired. It's not that he doesn't want to take care of his son, he wants to save the little body and energy he has left for the treatment of Pei Gong.

After a moment of rest, Xue Shao carried Sun Simiao and continued to walk down the mountain. After walking like this, I finally finished several miles of mountain roads in the evening.

Xue Shao and Yue Nu's hands were all worn out with a lot of blood blisters, and their skin was broken and bleeding. Sun Simiao called out to the servants to give them a simple treatment. Subsequently, Xue Shao rented an ox cart in the county town and laid a thick quilt for Sun Simiao to sit in.

Taking advantage of the night, Wangwenxi County walked slowly.

After noon the next day, Xue Shao and his party finally returned to Peijiazhuang Courtyard. So far, Xue Shao has not slept for two days and two nights.

Sun Simiao's immortal arrival made the Kudi clan cry bitterly and kneel down to greet him, as if he had ushered in a real immortal. Sun Simiao didn't say a word, and took his medicine box directly into Pei Xingjian's ward.

At this time, Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief.

"The faces of Childe and the Moon Slave girl are so ugly, they must be tired!" "Hurry up and have some soup and sit down and rest!" ”

"Nope. I want to get some sleep right now! ”

After sleeping with clothes, Xue Shao only slept for an hour. When he opened his eyes, he sat up and went straight to Pei Xingjian's ward, and heard Pei Xingjian and Sun Simiao talking inside outside the door.

"Pei Gong, after all, Poor Dao is just a healer, not the king of Yama." Sun Simiao said, "A doctor can only heal people who want to live." It is clear that Pei Gong's approach is to beg for death, and the doctor is useless! ”

"Old fairy, listen to me!" Pei Xingjian seemed to be pleading, "Two months, I only need two months!" I don't want anything else! ”

"No." Sun Simiao's voice was very soft, but his tone was very firm, "With your current illness, you can stay at home to recuperate with peace of mind, and let Poor Dao personally treat you, or you can live for two years." If you go to the march again, you are tired from the wind and cold, and you are exhausted and sleepless, and your life will not be guaranteed! ”

"Two years longer?" Pei Xingjian laughed, "Old immortal, if I let Pei Xingjian lie on the hospital bed, regardless of state affairs and worries, so reluctant to make a living, how is it different from the dry bones in the grave?" Even if you can live for 20 years, what is the use? ”

"......" Sun Simiao was silent.

"Old immortal, Pei Xingjian never asks for help in his life." Pei Xingjian said, "The day before yesterday, I begged my students; Today, I ask you - I don't ask you to cure me, I don't want to live for a few more years. All I want is two months—two months is enough! ”

Xue Shao moved his feet, and wanted to rush in to stop Pei Xingjian.

Sun Simiao spoke, "The righteousness of the world is better than the way of heaven!" ”

"Pei Xingjian, thank you to the old fairy!!"

Xue Shao's tears rushed out in an uproar.

In the past and present life, all the tears of Xue Shao added up, not as much as these two days.

……

Sun Simiao took his Taoist servant to live in Peijiazhuang Courtyard, and Pei Xingjian asked Xue Shao to return to Chang'an and surrender to His Majesty.

Before leaving, Pei Xingjian said, people do not stand without faith, you remember, you are willing to gamble and lose!

The old fox said this very lightly, but Xue Shao wanted to cry when he heard it.

Xue Shao returned to Chang'an, and the imperial court was about to start moving the capital in a big way in three days, and everything was almost ready, and the Yulin army had already risen up and was ready to be in place.

Xue Shao entered the palace and died, and the two saints met him together.

"How is Pei Gong?" Li Zhi asked himself.

Xue Shao said briefly: "Pei Gong is seriously ill and it is difficult to travel. But he insisted on going out on the expedition under the king's order, and I have invited Sun Simiao, a Taibai medical immortal, to treat him. ”

"That's fine, that's fine." The two saints celebrated with their foreheads and laughed.

Their laughter made Xue Shao feel very harsh when he heard it, and his heart was sour.

"Now that Pei Gong has promised to take command, then the imperial court can start to recruit troops to raise grain and grass." Wu Zetian said, "Xue Shao, you are Pei Gong's student. What do you think of this expedition? ”

Xue Shao replied: "The minister is willing to follow Pei Gong and go out together!" ”

"But Taiping is now pregnant with Rokka......"

"This time, you must follow Pei Gong and go out to the army!" Xue Shao almost interrupted Wu Zetian's words, and said it categorically.

The two saints were stunned at the same time, and Li Zhi nodded, "Okay, just let him go!" ”

"In the Taiping place, you need to be properly settled, so that you can live and comfort." Wu Zetian frowned and did not forget to advise.

"Yes." Xue Shao replied simply.

"Let Cen Changqian, the squire of the military department, preside over this military recruitment." Li Zhi said, "Xue Shao, you stay in Chang'an and assist Cen Changqian to recruit troops together." After Pei Gong recovers from his illness, you will assist Pei Gong in the expedition. The imperial decree was issued on the same day. ”

"Obey orders!"

"As for the matter of sending troops, I will discuss with Pei Gong after he returns." Li Zhi said, "When the time comes, you will come to see me together." ”

"Yes!"

Wu Zetian looked at Xue Shao with deep eyes, as if he had something to say, but he didn't speak. Xue Shao didn't communicate with her much, and after Li Zhi's words were finished, he said goodbye and left.

"Your Majesty, Xue Shao seems to be dissatisfied." After Xue Shao left, Wu Zetian said to Li Zhi.

"It's expected, and it's reasonable!" Li Zhi sighed and said, "Xue Shao is a lover, and he has a deep relationship with Pei Xingjian. And over the years, we have been a little mean to Pei Xingjian. ”

"......" Wu Zetian was silent for a long time, and said, "Then after this triumph, let's make a reward!" ”

"That's it!"

Xue Shao returned home with smoke and exhaustion, and saw that hundreds of cars had been parked in the courtyard of Princess Taiping's mansion, all of which were full. There are a lot of porters who are still busy, and there are still some goods and belongings that need to be loaded onto the truck.

It seems that this is preparing to move to Luoyang with the second saint.

Yu Hongye was also there, drinking tea with Princess Taiping in the hall.

Seeing Xue Shao coming back, Princess Taiping was almost shocked, "Where have you been in the past two days?" ”

"On an errand." Xue Shao replied simply, sat down, and felt tired as if he had fallen apart. Yu Hongye hurriedly poured him tea.

"Good tea!" Xue Shao took a sip and praised with a smile, "Miss Yu's craftsmanship is becoming more and more exquisite!" ”

"Whose order did you go out on an errand?" Princess Taiping seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Xue Shao's attitude, and said with a hint of anger, "I didn't come back for three days and two nights, and I didn't hear from him." Suddenly came back, and dealt with me in such a hasty sentence! ”

"Imperial Order." Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, I'm so tired!" ”

"......," Princess Taiping frowned, "Then you go to the bath and rest first." We'll talk about it after we've rested. ”

"Okay!"

Xue Shao knew that Princess Taiping was angry in her heart, but she seemed to be a little salivating to coax her. It's only been three days since she saw her, and she's so angry. What if she knew she was going on a campaign at this time?

Three days later, the capital will be moved, and according to Xue Shao's opinion, Yu Hongye has already set up a new home in Luoyang. In this matter, Princess Taiping had already made a compromise, respected Xue Shao's opinion, and was willing to live outside the palace instead of living in a palace that was convenient for taking care of her pregnant woman. Now Xue Shao is going to go on an expedition...... Xue Shao didn't know how to speak up and how to convince her.

Xue Shao was very tired, but he couldn't sleep when he was lying on the bed. He opened his eyes and thought that Princess Taiping was pregnant with Liujia and moved her family, which was the time when the family needed his man the most.

Pei Gong? …… It was likely to be the last expedition of his life. What reason do you have not to accompany him through the last part of his life?

No matter what you do, this time, it will always be a debt!

Xue Shao was bored for two days and didn't talk to Princess Taiping about these things. It wasn't until the morning two days later that Princess Taiping took her family to the palace to meet with the two saints and prepare to leave tomorrow, that Xue Shao said: "An Ran, you go to Luoyang first." I'll be there. ”

Princess Taiping looked at Xue Shao fixedly, with no expression, and her eyes were very sharp.

Such a weak little woman was stunned and Xue Shao was furious.

"I knew it was going to be like this." Princess Taiping gritted her teeth and said these eight words, boarded the car and closed the curtain.

"Go !!"

The carriages and horses of the brigade carried Princess Taiping's grievances out of Princess Taiping's mansion.

Xue Shao watched them gradually move away, standing alone in the empty compound, feeling in his heart that it suddenly felt like an empty piece.

Suddenly, a horse stopped in front of the gate of Princess Taiping's mansion, and a thousand cows of Fengchenwei rushed in.

"General Xue, Your Majesty has summoned you and Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping to enter the palace urgently!"
