After worshipping Tong Lin, Jiang Sheng asked the Yue Nu Battalion to escort the three wives and concubines back to the village, and he took Zhao Yun and the Xuanqi Battalion to the secret cave in the back mountain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now that Jiang Sheng has mastered the land of a state, the total number of soldiers and horses under his command has reached more than 200,000, and he already has the capital to dominate the world, and it is time to use the fluorescent stone in the secret cave.

Although the world is unstable, but the rich people living in the south and north of the big cities are still willing to enjoy, this kind of fluorescent stone is rare in the world, I believe these landlords will like it.

The Zhen family caravan has grown to twenty, and its business covers the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty and the surrounding alien races such as the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Qiang, as well as the countries of the Western Regions, and these fluorescent stones can be sold along the way.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, the two merchants, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, once sold war horses to Jiang Sheng, and also gave war horses to Liu Bei, and were later poached by Zhen Yan and became the leader of the Zhen family's caravan.

After the soldiers of the Xuanqi battalion entered the secret cave, they were all very surprised, they didn't expect the cave to be so beautiful, they each had a cloth pocket, Zhao Yun ordered everyone to line up, and then went to Zhao Yun in turn to register their names and the number of fluorescent stones they received, and then put the fluorescent stones they received in the cloth pocket and carry them with them.

After the distribution was completed, Zhao Yun counted the total number of fluorescent stones according to Jiang Sheng's counting method to be 41,257, and then the thousand Xuanjia cavalry went south first under the leadership of Zhao Yun, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were temporarily led by Zhou Cang, escorting Jiang Sheng and his wife and concubine south back to Yecheng.

After a few days of marching, Jiang Sheng and the others returned to Yecheng, Liu Qian's body was delicate, tired, and he was sick, Zhang Wanrong and Zhang Wanying took turns to serve, but Liu Qian kept nausea and retching, and the backyard of Jiang Sheng's mansion was full of people who did not know medical skills, and they were helpless for a while.

It happened that Yecheng came to an old Taoist who walked the rivers and lakes, it is said that he was proficient in medical skills, and most of the doctors in the rivers and lakes at this time were born as Taoists, and Hua Tuo, who was widely respected by later generations, was usually dressed as a Taoist.

In later generations, Jiang Sheng couldn't look down on this kind of unlicensed barefoot doctor at all, but in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, those doctors who were listed for business were not as good as this kind of barefoot doctor who walked the rivers and lakes, so Jiang Sheng asked Xun Yu to take someone to invite.

Xun Yu is from a big family, and he somewhat looks down on these Jianghu warlocks, but since he defected to Jiang Sheng, the first thing Jiang Sheng gave him to do had to be done.

Xun Yu took his entourage around the city, and did not find this old Taoist, when he was helpless, a beggar came to the street in front of him, and the clothes on his body looked like a tattered Taoist robe, this person's beard and hair were all white, although he was sloppy, but he also looked like a fairy wind and bones, so he went to meet him.

"Daoist, please stay." Xun Yu arched his hand.

"Huh? Did you call me? "That's the old man.

Xun Yu was extremely dissatisfied with this extremely rude reaction, but he was afraid that this person was an old Taoist who was a legend, so he said patiently: "I am talking to the Taoist chief below." ”

"Okay, boy, tell me what's the matter?"

"Recently, I heard that there was a Taoist who was proficient in medical skills in the city, so I came to visit and see what the Taoist looked like, but this legendary person?"

"It doesn't matter if it's yes or no, can you tell something?"

"The wife of my lord is sick, and I respectfully ask the Taoist chief to come over to the house to diagnose my mother." Xun Yu bowed.

"What does your father-in-law's wife have to do with you?" The old Taoist snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Xun Yu hurriedly stopped in front of him, "I am the servant of the lord below, so I naturally have to share the worries of the lord." ”

"How can some things be done for you? Your lord is rude! Go away, why should you be humiliated by me here? The old Taoist pushed Xun Yu away and walked away.

The voice of the old Taoist came from the wind: "Just look at the spring breeze from where it comes, the broken back has no legs, the sky is boundless, and the field is erecting a big flag; Laughing and talking about today's tiger tail, see it or not, let him go, hahahaha-"

Xun Yu listened to these two lines of poetry that were not like poems and words that were not like words, and he was puzzled, so he had to write them down and report them to Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng saw Xun Yu returning empty-handed, and was puzzled, Yecheng is such a big place, it is impossible to find even a person.

Xun Yu said: "The subordinates failed to invite the old Taoist, please punish the lord!" ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Didn't get it? Have you seen him? ”

"My subordinates have seen this person."

"What is this life like?"

"He is over fifty years old, his beard and hair are all white, and he is wearing a tattered robe, which is extremely sloppy."

"This person's surname is Hua?" Jiang Sheng thought it was Hua Tuo.

"I haven't seen it, he intends to let the lord personally invite him."

"In person? Did he tell him where to go? ”

He didn't mention it, but when he left, he threw down two lines of poetry that didn't look like poetry and words that didn't resemble words, and his subordinates were stupid and didn't understand what they meant.

"What did this man say?"

"He said, 'Just look at the spring breeze where it comes, the broken back has no legs, the sky is boundless, and the field is erecting a big flag; Laughing and talking about today's tiger tail, see it or not, let him go'. ”

Jiang Sheng groaned, pacing in the room, and after a while, he said, "I understand!" This old Taoist is a dumb riddle, and he has already told him when and where to look for him. ”

Xun Youqi said: "The lord is smart, please give me some advice!" ”

"Where the spring breeze comes, the spring breeze, also known as the east wind, which says that the direction is in the east, the broken back has no legs, but it is a word split, put ' The word 'back' is broken, it is for the north and the moon, no legs is not the lower part, so the place he said is in the north and east of the city; the second half of the sentence is boundless and wide, and the big flag erected in the field is by, and the upper and lower are by, it is for the temple; this person must settle down in the northeast city god temple; the tiger tail said in the latter sentence is the hour, the zodiac and the earth branch communicate, the tiger represents Yin, the tail represents the end, together is, today Yin at the end of the city god temple in the northeast of the city to meet. ”

Xun Yu thought about it and nodded again and again, "The lord is wise, and his subordinates are far from it." ”

"Hurry up and prepare a generous gift, I will visit in person."

In the second half of the hour, Jiang Sheng accompanied by the two hairpins of the personal guard and went down to the City God Temple in the northeast corner, Zhou Cang prepared a carriage to go with him, Zhao Yun wanted to take the Xuanjia cavalry to escort him, but Jiang Sheng refused, in his opinion, the old Taoist is testing him, if he leads the troops, it will be counterproductive.

At the end of the Yin period, it was equivalent to about five o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Sheng dismounted and walked into the City God Temple, only to see that the pilgrims in the temple had left one after another, and the old Taoist did not show up.

Zhou Cang said: "Lord, isn't that old Taoist deliberately teasing?" ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Capable people have their own way of doing things, we just have to wait, and what should come will eventually come." ”

"Papapa-" The old Taoist clapped his palms and walked in from outside, but he was silent.

"You didn't disappoint me! The old way is polite! The old Taoist said politely, but his demeanor and actions were extremely arrogant.

"Why should the old fairy be polite? Have a seat! Jiang Sheng pointed to the floor and said.
