Chapter 159: The Wilderness
Feng Axi was afraid that Tang Xu would really go with Luo Gang, and he was afraid that he would leave Yang Ximei alone, so he pulled the hem of Tang Xu's coat in a hurry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Tang Xu understood what he meant and nodded to him. Although he knew that Yang Ximei would not recover and wake up in a short period of time, he still had to leave as soon as possible and could not deliberately delay.
"I appreciate General Luo's kindness, but I have something important to do now, can I come back to visit after I return?" Tang Xu said politely.
"Oh? I don't know what is important for Imperial Doctor Tang? Could it be that he was ordered by the emperor to go out of the city to do errands? "Although Luo Gang guards the key points of the city gate, he is only an inconspicuous petty official in Kaifeng City in terms of grade, and everyone in the imperial city is full of dignitaries. A celebrity like Tang Xu can't even find a way out on weekdays, but now Tang Xu's anxious appearance makes Luo Gang excited. His heart jumped suddenly, as if he saw an opportunity that might be able to stammer Tang Xu or even the emperor.
"Thank you General Luo for your kindness, it's just that this matter is my private matter, so I won't bother General Luo Luo." Tang Xu smiled.
"I see, it's just that three days later it will be the Queen Mother's birthday, the Tang Imperial Doctor is the emperor's important courtier, and he must be very busy, I don't know what the Tang Imperial Doctor is doing in a hurry out of the city at this time?" Luo Gang suddenly became serious, he was a little unhappy after being politely rejected by Tang Xu, feeling that Tang Xu didn't give him face, but he didn't dare to show his unhappy emotions on his face.
"I'm a doctor, and a few days ago I happened to meet two patients with strange diseases, and although I tried my best, I still couldn't cure them." Tang Xu said and glanced back at the carriage. Luo Gang was taken aback by Tang Xu's actions, and subconsciously took a step back, muttering in his heart that he didn't know what kind of patient was in the carriage, but he felt that he immediately retreated and seemed too bold.
"It's a very strange illness, and General Luo still doesn't think it's good." Tang Xu saw that Luo Gang was a little stupid, so he deliberately provoked him with words, if Luo Gang didn't check, wouldn't he let Yang Ximei suffer in vain? And let them out of the city plainly, and they will inevitably be questioned when they come back. If Luo Gang is narrow-minded, it would be troublesome to even go to the emperor to denounce it.
"Oh? Even Imperial Doctor Tang said it was very weird, and the lower officials wanted to see what was going on. Luo Gang was really enraged, picked up the shelf of the general guarding the city, walked to the carriage in three or two steps, and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain hanging on the door.
"What smells so bad?" The light in the car was weak, and before Luo Gang could see what was inside, he smelled an unbearable smell of rot, which made him almost vomit.
"Ahh What is this? Then Luo Gang saw that there was a tired and emaciated man in the car, and two people wrapped in quilts. Luo Gang was shocked by this strange picture, and he was already a little timid and didn't want to continue to pursue it, but he felt that he was too cowardly to let it go.
"General Luo beware!" Tang Xu deliberately raised his voice and shouted, Luo Gang was startled and hurriedly retreated.
"What?" Luo Gang looked at Tang Xu in shock.
"There's a patient who has passed away." Tang Xu pretended to be mysterious, and Luo Gang was frightened again, and secretly cursed in his heart.
"Even so, it's better than bothering to get out of the city and find a place to bury it." Luo Gang calmed down slightly.
"The corpse decomposes very quickly, I'm afraid there is some infectious disease, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to stay in the city." Tang Xu said again.
"Contagion? So why did Imperial Doctor Tang personally escort him, wouldn't it be bad if he was infected. The stench in the car was unbearable, and Luo Gang had to believe that there was such a thing as a dead person, but he was used to guarding the city and checking it, and Tang Xu's actions aroused a trace of suspicion in him.
"Thank you General Luo for your concern, but don't worry, I, as a doctor, will act safely. If it's just left to someone else to deal with, I don't feel at ease, and if there is a change on the way, I can't bear to affect the innocent. Tang Xu's reply.
"What Imperial Doctor Tang said is extremely true." Tang Xu's answer was calm, and it didn't sound flawed, and Luo Gang believed him a little more.
"This shouldn't be delayed, can you let us out of the city?" Tang Xu pretended to be worried, but Luo Gang still hesitated. Although Tang Xu was reasonable, he felt that something was wrong when he really let him go.
"If General Luo is not at ease, let someone walk with me." Tang Xu commanded Luo Gang's army.
"What did Imperial Doctor Tang say, the lower officials did not suspect Imperial Doctor Tang's intentions, so I will order it to be released, and I hope that Imperial Doctor Tang will be more careful." Luo Gang heard this, and hurriedly accompanied the smiling face. Tang Xu took the initiative to ask for someone to go with him, which completely dispelled Luo Gang's concerns, if there was really a problem, how could he take the initiative to install an eyeliner beside him. And Luo Gang really didn't dare to arrange it at will, first, he was afraid that Tang Xu would complain about himself from now on, and second, if someone was infected with an incurable disease because of his forced arrangement, his prestige would be greatly damaged.
"Thank you, General Rowe." Tang Xu got a satisfactory answer, no longer delayed, bowed his hand to Luo Gang and turned back to the car. At this time, the guards at the city gate were also ordered by the general to make way for a passage. Bai Lun immediately raised his horsewhip and shouted, urging the carriage to slowly move forward and out of the gate of Kaifeng City.
When the carriage had already walked on a small road outside the city, Tang Xu got out of the carriage and sat side by side with Bai Lun.
"Yichi, aren't you afraid that person really sent someone with us?" Bai Lun sweated in his heart when he heard Tang Xu say this just now, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Luo Gang let them go.
"Brother Bai is too worried, I just put him in the army, he doesn't dare." Tang Xu smiled and told Bai Lun about his plan, as well as Luo Gang's reaction, he had already guessed it.
"Yichi, you're still smart enough." Bai Lun had never really dealt with people, and he admired Tang Xu for being thoughtful and thoughtful.
"Where, where, Brother Bai has won the prize." Tang Xu was a little embarrassed.
"Dr. Tang." Feng Axi also poked his head out of the carriage at this time, presumably choking on the unpleasant smell, and exhaled several times after the probe came out.
"Doctor Tang, does it really matter to my wife?" Feng Axi was very anxious all the way, and now that the car had left the city and would not be blocked again, he was more and more worried about Yang Ximei.
"It doesn't matter, don't worry." Tang Xu returned to the car and checked again, and found that although Yang Ximei looked like a dead corpse and constantly emitted a foul smell, her skin did not really fester, and her body was not stiff. All this is exactly the same as the situation after Ah Long took the fake death pill, so he felt more relieved. Feng Axi nodded obediently when he heard him say this, and said no more.
"Brother Bai, when will Yan Ji wake up?" Tang Xu looked around, and could only vaguely see some scattered households and farmers, and the rest was an unobstructed view of the land, and it seemed that he could not find a place to live immediately.
