Chapter 53: The Medical Corps
Three people, six eyes, froze there for a moment.
Shi Wei's gaze, as if it had been filled with lead, always lingered on the spring body of the Cheshire Lord, and he couldn't move half a minute.
Only a few seconds passed, but at that moment, Shi Wei felt as if a long time had passed.
"Ahh
The Lord of Cheshire woke up, screamed, wrapped his hands in a few secret places of his own, and fled back to the sauna in shame.
She just heard that the second prince was coming, and she ran out in surprise, but she forgot to wrap the bath towel in it.
When the Cheshire Lord fled in embarrassment, Shi Wei and Ume also came to their senses.
Ume threw a strange smile at him and hurried in.
Shi Wei coughed a few times and said in a loud voice: "County Lord, then the lower official will go to greet His Royal Highness first." ”
"Well, you go first, and I'll come later." In the sauna, Cheshire's voice trembled, and it was obvious that there was a heavy embarrassment.
Shi Wei walked out of the door.
In front of the subordinates of the county lord's mansion, Shi Wei quickly regained his composure and walked to the front hall.
When Zhao Dezhao saw that Shi Wei was also there, he was a little surprised.
Shi Wei frankly claimed that the Cheshire Lord was unwell, and he was invited to come to see the county lord's body.
Zhao Dezhao didn't suspect either, his expression seemed to remember something, and he said with a smile: "You came just in time, I still have something I want to tell you." ”
"Second Highness, please speak." Shi Wei listened attentively.
Zhao Dezhao said what was in his heart.
It turned out that the second prince also expected that the Great Song Dynasty's invasion of the Southern Tang Dynasty would be a foregone conclusion, and when more than 100,000 Central Plains soldiers attacked Jiangnan, there would be diseases such as water and soil adaptation, so the medical service should not be underestimated for the Southern Expedition.
Thinking of this, Zhao Dezhao gave a lecture to the Son of Heaven, asking for a special medical team to be formed in advance, so that he could march south with the army to provide timely treatment for the soldiers.
As for the leader of this medical team, Zhao Dezhao proposed that Shi Wei should take the role.
"Second Highness, do you mean to let me go south with the army?"
Zhao Dezhao nodded and said: "That's right, I think you have excellent medical skills, and you have lived in Jiangnan for a long time, and you are familiar with the customs and geography of the Southern Tang Dynasty, maybe in addition to providing medical treatment, it is also helpful for military affairs." ”
After a pause, Zhao Dezhao then lowered his voice and said: "Of course, the southern expedition of the army is also a rare opportunity for meritorious service, I recommend it to my father and emperor, and I also want you to take advantage of this to make another miraculous achievement, you must take advantage of this opportunity." ”
Dezhao's cultivation heart, how could Shi Wei not understand, listening to his words, Shi Wei was naturally grateful.
In addition, Nantang also has a lot of his former enemies, as well as the people he misses, originally he was still thinking about how to follow the army to the south, and now there is a recommendation from the Second Highness, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.
At that moment, Shi Wei said happily: "Thank you Second Highness for cultivation, Your Highness rest assured, I, Shi Weiding, should live up to the expectations of His Second Highness." ”
The words fell, but the footsteps sounded, and the Lord of Cheshire stepped into the hall.
Shi Wei turned to look, but saw that the Cheshire Lord was already neatly dressed, and there was no trace of disheveled appearance in his sideburns.
It's just that her face is extremely ruddy, and it is obvious that the effect of sauna fumigation has not been eliminated.
When she saw Shi Wei, a trace of imperceptible shame quietly flashed in her eyes.
"Second brother, why did you remember to come to see me?" The Lord of Cheshire walked past Shi Wei and saluted Zhao Dezhao with a natural expression.
"I heard that Pearl is not feeling well recently, so I stopped by to take a look today."
Zhao Dezhao glanced at the Cheshire Lord up and down a few times, and suddenly his face showed a strange color: "Pearl, I see your face, radiant, and tight, and you don't seem to be feeling unwell at all." ”
The effect of Shi Wei's salt bath is now revealed, and even the second prince can see it.
It's just that Shi Wei was secretly thinking that the red light on the Cheshire Lord's face was partly due to the salt bath, and partly due to the previous embarrassment.
Lord Cheshire turned his gaze to Shi Wei and said with a smile: "Thanks to Shi Dianyu's recipe, my face looks better." ”
As soon as he said this, Zhao Dezhao immediately became interested, and said: "Yuanzhi, I didn't expect you to have this recipe for refining and recuperating the spirit, I have been a little sleepy recently, why don't you use that recipe for me." ”
Shi Wei was embarrassed on the spot.
Wouldn't you like a salt bath too?
It is a pleasure to give a bath to a beautiful woman like the Lord of Cheshire, and if it were a big man like you, wouldn't I have become a bath worker.
The Cheshire Lord over there was also panicked, and gave Shi Wei a look again and again.
Of course, she didn't want Zhao Dezhao to know what the "salt bath" was all about, but she was afraid that Dezhao would guess that she had shown Shi Wei naked before.
Shi Wei didn't need her to remind him, so he didn't hurry up and said: "The lower official does have a few wonderful medicines for self-cultivation, but now it has been given to the county lord, if His Royal Highness also wants it, the official of the world will send someone to the mansion." ”
Zhao Dezhao was perfunctory by his words, so he didn't ask any more.
The Cheshire Lord secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Ume, who knew the inside story, was snickering beside him.
The three of them talked about the usual short gossip again, and then turned this one over.
……………………………………………… As Zhao Dezhao said, a few days later, Shi Wei was summoned by Zhao Kuangyin alone, and the right thing was about Dezhao's recommendation of him to be the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Military Doctor.
Although Zhao Kuangyin had issued an ultimatum to Li Yu and began to prepare to use force against the Southern Tang Dynasty, in order to cover up the specific time of the army, Zhao Kuangyin still decided to keep a low profile.
Moreover, the south is hot and humid, and there are some diseases that the doctors in the north may not have seen.
Therefore, it is necessary for these doctors to be stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River in advance to understand and learn about some local epidemics that are prone to occur in advance.
So, at Shi Wei's suggestion, Zhao Kuangyin ordered Shi Wei to lead dozens of imperial doctors from Bianjing to the south to collect herbs and collect materials in the southern states in the name of compiling a medical codex.
With this excuse, Shi Wei can go south in a grand manner, without worrying that the Southern Tang side will speculate about it.
Soon after the decree was issued, Shi Wei selected about 30 imperial doctors from the Shang Medicine Bureau and the Imperial Medicine Bureau, and chose a zodiac auspicious person to leave Beijing and go south.
Because of the heavy responsibility of this trip, Shi Wei did not reveal the true purpose of this trip to Fan Peilan.
Considering that he could go south with the army in the future, he would inevitably experience war at that time, so Shi Wei didn't even take the clove with him, and only went out of this far door alone.
In order to hide people's eyes, after Shi Wei led his medical team out of Beijing, he did not go straight to Jiangbei, but went around in a big circle.
He first went east into Jingxi Road, until he reached Haizhou, and then turned back to the west through Suzhou and Haozhou to enter Luzhou, and then from Luzhou through Wuwei Army, and finally arrived in Hezhou.
Hezhou is on the verge of the north bank of the Yangtze River, and across the river from this state is the Jiangning Mansion where the Jinling of the Southern Tang Dynasty is located.
In the afternoon, Shi Wei, escorted by Xiong Qingye and several other forbidden soldiers, drove his horse and swam to the riverside.
Standing on the side of the Ma River, looking into the distance, the south bank of the river is the boundary of Dangtu.
At the foot of the mountain along the river, the pagodas appear and disappear from time to time, and it is thought that Fan Ruoshui deceived the monks of the Guangji Temple to build.
Those monks probably couldn't have dreamed that they had chanted the Buddha and prayed for peace for the Southern Tang Dynasty, but unknowingly, they became the "accomplices" of the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
"Aoba, did you see it, the other side is just Dangtu." Shi Wei raised his hand and pointed to it and said with emotion.
"It's really Dangtu, I didn't expect to be away from my hometown for so many years, and my old bear will have to see his hometown again one day."
Xiong Qingye was so excited that he burst into tears.
It is no wonder that the ancients have always relocated to their land, and the plot of their hometown is extremely heavy.
Although Shi Wei is also a Dangtu person, but that is only in terms of the "deity" of his body, for Shi Wei, he actually does not have much affection for the so-called hometown of Dangtu.
Xiong Qingye is different, he grew up in Dangtu since he was a child, he was persecuted before, and he had to go to other countries with Shi Wei.
Seeing this, Shi Wei patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "It won't be long before you don't have to look across the river, but you can return to the township with dignity." ”
Xiong Qingye wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and refreshed his spirits.
He clenched his fists and said: "I don't know if that Xinyi is still the county commander, if I can really kill back to Dangtu one day, I will definitely revenge him." ”
If Xiong Qingye didn't mention it, Shi Wei almost forgot about Xin Yi, recalling what he and his nephew Ma Bo had done, almost killing himself, and Shi Wei also had a heart of revenge in his heart.
His eyes were like electricity, staring at the south bank of the Yangtze River, and he sneered: "Don't worry, we will definitely pay back those new and old hatreds." ”
After the two sighed, seeing that it was getting late, Shi Wei ordered the group to go back to Liyang, which was more than ten miles away.
Drive the horse slowly, and enjoy the scenery of Luoyue all the way.
When passing by a village, Shi Wei suddenly saw a **-year-old girl holding her throat and crying endlessly, and a young woman next to her was anxious about something, thinking that it was the little girl's mother.
As a doctor, his intuition told Shi Wei that the little girl must be sick.
Shi Wei then called a pause.
Turning over and dismounting, Shi Wei stepped forward in a few steps and asked kindly, "This little lady, your girl is sick." ”
The young woman suddenly encountered a living person, and she was busy taking a few steps back with the girl in her arms, with an alert face.
This young woman was no more than twenty years old, dressed plainly, and at first glance she knew that she was a country woman, but her appearance was quite standard.
Seeing her scared look, Shi Wei smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, little lady, I'm just a Lang Zhong passing through here, if your girl is sick, I may be able to help her take a look." ”
The young woman's vigilance eased a lot, and she stared at Shi Wei carefully with a pair of big watery eyes.
After looking at it for a moment, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in her expression.
"Far ...... Yuanzhi, are you Yuanzhi? The woman unexpectedly called out Shi Wei's words.
Shi Weiton was taken aback, and said curiously: "Doesn't this little lady recognize it?" ”
The young woman threw herself at once, and cried out with tears in her eyes: "You are really Yuanzhi, why don't you recognize me, I am your cousin." ”
