Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Medicinal Fragrance Kills the Machine
Lu Shenyan poured the decoction of the grate residue into the bowl, let it dry for a while, felt that it was not so hot, and brought it to Di Qing, who sat up on the edge of the bed. He took the bowl and said, "It's okay not to see it, but it's also tiring to socialize when you do." After saying that, he drank the medicine. He looked like he was getting up. Xiao Lu hurriedly put down the bowl, picked up the cotton robe next to the bed and draped it over Di Qing, and helped Di Qing to the table.
Wang Bi and He Libo hurriedly stood up and helped Di Qing sit down, Di Qing looked at the chessboard and asked, "Libo is a good chess player, and I don't have to ask you about your background when I am in a hurry." ”
He Libo arched his hand and said: "Lord Hui, I am not Han below. ”
After saying this, everyone was shocked, and saw that He Libo said: "I can't hide it, I am from Liao." King Di Qing looked at each other.
Xiao Lu's eyes widened and asked, "Big man, aren't you here to persuade Master Di to go to the Liao Kingdom?" ”
He Libo smiled bitterly and said: "I escaped from Liao, how can I persuade adults to go to Liao." Everyone was a little reassured, Di Qing asked him to continue, and saw him say: "I was originally a child of a small tribe in Liao, but in recent years, there have been many tribal disputes, and the government and China have paid serious taxes, in addition to offering horses and special products every year, they have often been plundered and humiliated by the women of our tribe. There are also often silver angels who want to be accompanied by women from the tribe. The men were all arrested to be strong men, and the tribe was depressed. I don't want to fight as soldiers and kill each other for these mongrels, because when I came to the Song Kingdom, I have always heard of the prestige of Lord Di, so I came to defect. ”
Di Qing looked at him and said, "Okay, it's rare for you to be so frank, I'm willing to accept you by my side, but I'm afraid it will affect your future."
He Libo said: "The villain follows Master Di and does not seek fame and fortune, and he really admires Lord Di. If you have learned a skill, you will be able to revitalize our people in the future. ”
Di Qing nodded: "Who else is in your family?" ”
He Libo returned: "There are still parents and brothers at home. ”
Di Qing didn't ask again, He Libo can bluntly say that he is not Han, it can be seen that he is upright, and he will leave it for the time being and make plans later. He turned to the king and said, "Although the bowl here is a few years older than you, you are in a foreign land, and you can only see the truth in adversity, so you will take more care of each other in the future." ”
Wang Fang knew that Di Qing was suppressed by the imperial court at this time, and his colleagues were harming, and the future of this trip to Chenzhou was even more uncertain. Before he arrived in the Song Dynasty, he also liked Di Qing, and he knew in his heart that Chen Zhou was Di Qing's fall, and he understood his words even more. Xiao Lu stood by with a smile and watched, He Libo thanked Di Qing, turned his head to look at Xiao Lu, and saw that he had a strange smile, so he asked, "Xiao Luzi, what are you laughing at?" ”
Lu Shenyan said: "I said that if you are a big man, you will look at Lord Di and Gongzi for being kind, but I have a question, you said, now we will not go to war with the Liao State for decades, but it is very good, if there is a fight one day, will you fight the Liao State or help the Liao State fight us?" ”
"I really haven't thought about this or this." He Libo scratched his head, and then said: "Xiao Luzi, you really asked me, the king of the Liao State is mediocre, and our people are victimized, but we can't take the Song soldiers to fight the Liao State and do the thing of destroying the country; But you are all from the Song Kingdom, treat me like a relative, and I can't be ungrateful; Oops, forget it! If there is a war between the two countries one day, then I will, I will stand on the border, I will fight the Liao State when the Liao State fights the Song State, and I will fight the Song State when the Song State fights the Liao State. ”
The three of them laughed when they heard it, and it was easy to talk when they closed the door, and seeing the truth of what He Libo said, Xiao Lu continued: "I understand, you want to set yourself up as a king." He Libo hurriedly said: "I don't have this idea, isn't this your run." ”
Wang Jian listened to their conversation and thought to himself: Since ancient times, the world must be divided for a long time, and in the era where Wang Pan lived in his previous life, China has been unified, and the territory of Song, Western Xia, and Liao is larger than these countries together. The small dynasty, the big world, in his heart, is not as hostile as the Song people to the Liao State and the Western Xia, and there is a kind of pride in the character of the Northeast man in this He Libo. Then he said: "I am willing to be commensurate with Brother He Libo, I don't know if Brother He minds." ”
He Libo was overjoyed when he heard it, the famous family next to the king did not have the frame of a son's brother, he was not very old but thoughtful, and he was even more respectful to the master of Master Di, and he had long liked this person, and when he heard him say, he slapped him on the shoulder next to the king excitedly: "Good brother." How would I mind. ”
He was very excited, and Wang Fang suddenly felt the power of He Libo, and He Libo's big palm was like a board exhaling down. Fortunately, He Libo only used three points of strength, and Wang Bi has also learned to draw a bow and shoot arrows since he began to apprentice Di Qing, not to mention arm strength, let's just say that this stake, hanging his arms for a few months, will not be as irresistive as ordinary people. Even so, Wang was also a bared of teeth, his body shook slightly, and he almost didn't come out, and said in his heart that if this was slapped on Xiao Lu's body, Xiao Lu would lie down, no wonder He Libo grabbed the wrist of the rouge tiger that day, and the wrist rouge tiger screamed so miserably.
He Libo looked back at Xiao Lu again and said, "In the future, you will also call me big brother, don't always call me big, big"
Xiao Lu smiled: "I will also touch your light, I will call you big brother in the future, I am not as capable of literature and martial arts as you, I can be content with the master and son." However, you can't let me call you big brother in vain, you said that you can teach me some martial arts, in case that tiger girl beats me, I can resist it. Everyone in the room laughed.
The snow was falling outside, but the room was warm, Xiao Lu picked up the medicine jar and cleaned up the medicine residue inside, the medicine residue still had residual heat, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of Chinese herbal medicine. He Libo said: "How can you smell the fragrance of this medicine?" everyone heard him say this, and they all sniffed it carefully.
Xiao Lu picked up the bowl where Di Qing had finished drinking the medicine, and reached out to hold the bowl in front of him, "Smell this, if you can't smell it, there will be medicine residue" He Libo frowned.
He Libo brushed away his hand, walked to the charcoal stove, squatted down, plucked the medicine residue with chopsticks, and said, "Master Di, have you been taking this medicine?" Wang Bi hurriedly asked, "Why, is there anything wrong?" ”
He Libo replied, walked up to Di Qing and said, "Master Di forgive me for offending, can you uncover your clothes and let me see?"
Di Qing nodded, He Libo flipped over the collar, faded down and looked over, his brows furrowed even tighter.
Wang Pan and Xiao Lu also came over, Wang Pan gasped when he saw it, and Xiao Lu was even more surprised and said, "Oh, how did it happen like this?" ”
I saw a big sore on Di Qing's back, which looked very scary.
He Libo hurriedly asked, "Where is the prescription?" ”
Wang looked at Lu Shenyan, Xiao Lu hurriedly took out the prescription from his arms, He Libo looked at it and said, "No wonder, there is sandalwood in this medicine." ”
Xiao Lu asked, "Is sandalwood bad?" ”
He Libo said: "Although sandalwood is good, but sex is fire, the cause of Master Di's coming is that he is anxious to attack his heart, and the yin is weak and hot." This fire is adding to the fire, how can it be good? ”
When the king heard this, he said, "The teacher has been taking this medicine, but it has never been good. "I thought it was no wonder that this Di Qing was not good, and it became more serious every time he recurred, but this prescription was prescribed by the imperial doctor, right? Thinking of this, Wang asked Di Qing: "Master, which minister is in charge of the imperial pharmacy?" Di Qing thought for a while and said, "Speaking of the worship of the Imperial Pharmacy, it is the eunuch Ren Shouzhong. ”
The king asked, "Does Master have a holiday with this person?" ”
Di Qing said: "I didn't have a festival, but I had a relationship with this person when I was in Nanping Nong Zhigao, and this person was a supervisor sent by the imperial court, and the relationship was good." ”
He Libo took out a pen and paper, and said while writing: "If you can trust it, Chinese medicine talks about the harmony of yin and yang, and I have a prescription for nourishing yin and replenishing qi, and the adult stopped the original medicine first." Slowly adjust and then see. ”
Di Qing said: "The believer is not suspicious, take it to Xiao Lu to catch it, anyway, it's already like this." ”
Lu Shenyan took the prescription and went to grab the medicine, and it took a long time before he came back. Everyone was afraid that he was not familiar with the road, whether he was lost, and it was estimated that it would take more than an hour for Xiao Lu to come back. He entered the door and looked left and right before closing the door. When they saw him sneaky, they asked him what he was doing.
Xiao Lu said: "I went to grab the medicine, and by the way, I went around and saw a few strange things, so I came back slowly." ”
He Libo said: "Don't sell Guanzi, what's the matter? ”
Xiao Lu said: "When I grabbed the medicine, I heard Na Langzhong say that the city has been closed for the past two days, and the entry and exit are strictly checked, especially the vehicles out of the city are tightly checked, and I don't know what happened in the city." So I went around the edge of the city. Really! Guess what, the guards are strictly guarded, and passers-by have to be carefully checked. I went around, I didn't hear about anything big in the county, and then I went to the county government gate to look around, and found out that the county order of Zhoukou County was called Chen Guang, who was from Dingzhou, and then came back. ”
Di Qing pondered for a long time after listening, and when Wang saw Di Qing thoughtfully, he asked, "Master, has you ever thought of anything?" ”
Di Qing said: "When the expedition to the south exterminated Nong Zhigao, the Song army was defeated, the army's heart was shaken, and generals such as Chen Shu attacked without authorization and returned with heavy casualties. I suggested to the Emperor that the operation of borrowing Cochin's troops and horses to help the war should be stopped. Chen Shu and other people who did not obey orders were executed. That Chen Shu is from Dingzhou, and he has a younger brother named Chen Guang. ”
Xiao Lu heard it and said: "Hey, hey, can't it be that you don't see adults here, and you are still locking down the city for adults?" ”
He Libo glared at him and said, "What are you afraid of?" ”
Wang Bian pushed open the window to look outside, closed the window and said to Di Qing: "Master, you can let Xiao Lu continue to explore, we will be safe when we come, just so you can stay for two more days to recuperate." Di Qing saw that he was not in a hurry or slow, and he didn't know what he was selling, so he followed what he said and asked Xiao Lu to inquire again.
They only knew half of it, Zhoukou County was Chen Guang, and it was the reason why Di Qing was not seen, and another reason was that Chen Guang received a secret letter two days ago, asking him to kill Di Qing in Zhoukou County.
