Li Chengzong smiled, and said in his heart that Li Xiuning is really an understanding person. Knowing what he wants, transferring back Ma Sanbao is just a matter of words. But it's useless if this person doesn't come, Ma Sanbao has always been Li Xiuning's person. Originally, Li Chengzong wanted to persuade Li Xiuning to give Ma Sanbao a stick this time, causing a split between master and servant, and he was coming forward to defend Ma Sanbao. I didn't expect that there was no need to say anything that was not easy to say, and there was no need to do things that lacked morality. As long as Sun Simiao cures Ma Sanbao's illness, the emperor's grace is mighty! As long as Ma Sanbao is still a person with a conscience, he will always not be half-hearted about himself.

"Thank you, Auntie." Li Chengzong has a smiling face.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be happy too early, many famous doctors say that diseases that can't be cured. Sun Simiao went, but he might not be able to do it. "Li Xiuning is not attacking Li Chengzong, but this is the case.

"One yard is one yard, and you should be thanked. Whether Sun Simiao can do it or not is another matter, if he still can't cure Ma Sanbao, it means that his life is not good and I am unlucky, and it has nothing to do with my aunt. ”

Li Xiuning said: "Ma Sanbao is also a hard-working person, he has been born and died for so many years, and he hasn't had a peaceful birthday in a few days!"

Li Chengzong knew that Li Xiuning's words were definitely not pretended. At that time, Ma Sanbao did not help Li Xiuning, and later followed Chai Shao's side to fight in the north and south, and conquered everything. Li Xiuning has the grace of knowing Ma Sanbao, why doesn't Ma Sanbao always sacrifice his life to protect each other.

Sun Simiao set off on the same day, and left before the New Year passed, fortunately, this person has nothing to worry about, and the New Year has no effect on him. Saving people and curing diseases is a big deal, not to mention the order given by Li Chengzong himself, it must be cured.

After seeing Ma Sanbao's condition, Sun Simiao hurriedly sent someone to inform Li Chengzong, saying that it was best to go back to Chang'an for treatment. Some scarce medicinal materials are only available in the palace, and it is inconvenient to treat them here. After Li Chengzong saw it, he said in his heart that it could be cured! hurriedly ordered Ma Sanbao to return to Chang'an, and sent a team of people to greet him along the road.

Ma Sanbao was not terminally ill at this time, but his body was indeed not as good as before.

"Daochang Sun, how did Your Majesty know that I was suffering from a vicious disease, but Princess Pingyang told Your Majesty?" Ma Sanbao endured it for a long time, and didn't ask until it was almost Chang'an. I don't understand it, but I'm sad in my heart.

"I don't know, I only know that Your Majesty is in a hurry, and he sent someone to send me to Tongguan under the stars." Sun Simiao said.

"Isn't it Princess Pingyang?" Ma Sanbao said in his heart that there was no one else in the court.

"When you get to Chang'an, you can just ask yourself. Your illness is not mild, and if you get medical treatment sooner, you can recover in a month or two. It's much later now, let alone staying in Chang'an for half a year. Sun Simiao means, half a year! There is enough time to ask why the emperor sent me to treat you.

Ma Sanbao exclaimed: "It takes so long? But I'm the Tongguan guard, how can I not go back for half a year!"

Sun Simiao replied in a deep voice: "General Ma is really an honest man. Even the poor Dao thought that His Majesty took care of you so much, do you still have to worry about losing the position of a Tongguan guard?"

Is the position of the Tongguan guard very important?

Tongguan is located in the east of the Guanzhong Plain, the key place in the Guanzhong, the situation of Tongguan is very dangerous, there are Qinling Mountains in the south. There is a forbidden valley in the southeast, and there are 12 cities in the south of the valley; There are Wei and Luo Erchuan in the north, and the Yellow River hugs down, and the west is near Huayue. Mountains and mountains around. Peaks and peaks, valleys are deep and precipices are absolute, the mountains are high and the roads are narrow, and there is a narrow sheep intestine trail in the middle, and only one car and one horse can be allowed to go back and forth. In the past, people often compared the situation here with "the danger of the road and the ape" and "the danger of the road stopping at Tongguan in the world".

All dynasties have had heavy troops in Tongguan, but there is no such thing when it comes to Li Chengzong. All the soldiers and horses in Tongguan are added together, but only 5,000. These soldiers and horses did not belong to the regular army, but were still under the hands of the civil officials of Luoyang. Li Chengzong's soldiers and horses who could fight and charge were all concentrated in a few places, and the city defense troops in various prefectures, counties, and passes were all under the jurisdiction of local civilian officials.

Ma Sanbao was also angry in Tongguan, and it was not impossible to fight with these city defense soldiers. The key is why people are brand new knives and guns, and they are all obsolete rotten goods here. It is said that this goods are more than goods to be thrown, and Ma Sanbao looks down on the weapons and armor issued by the imperial court to the city defense soldiers.

"Thank you for mentioning it. There is another question below, I don't know if His Majesty wants me to go north to Turkic, or to go west to Liangzhou. Ma Sanbao thought that he finally had a chance, and when the time came, the emperor would ask for countermeasures, and he would be prepared.

Sun Simiao shook his head and said, "How do I know this!" The major affairs of the court, I, a doctor who sees a doctor, don't understand. However, there are rumors in Chang'an that His Majesty seems to be raising troops against Tuyuhun. ”

"Tuyuhun!" Ma Sanbao just wanted to laugh, but it was wrong to think about it! I still have this disease, and I can't take my turn to fight!

Full of doubts, the emperor knew that he was sick, so he would not let himself go on the expedition. Is it just to see a doctor for yourself?

When he arrived in Chang'an, Ma Sanbao returned to his home. He should have entered the palace to meet Li Chengzong as soon as possible, but the reasonable emperor knew that he was unwell, so he deliberately issued an order to exempt him.

Li Xiuning didn't show up, Ma Sanbao said in his heart that he would go and have a look! But don't dare, because you are sick, the emperor authorized you not to come to face the saint, and you turned your face and dragged your sick body to visit Princess Pingyang, is this like words? Don't say what the emperor does to you, even Princess Pingyang has to suffer.

It's been more than a month. The year has passed, and Ma Sanbao still hasn't waited for anyone to come. Except for Sun Simiao and some old friends who came to the door every day, there was no one else.

Ma Sanbao sent people to Princess Pingyang's mansion several times and brought gifts to Li Xiuning. But this gift was accepted, and Li Xiuning and Chai Shao never came. Can this not be angry! It's a master and servant, and the servant is sick, so when the master comes to take a look!

Later, I don't know if it was arranged by someone with a heart. Ma Sanbao heard that Li Xiuning had never asked to see the emperor for himself at all, and specially recruited Sun Simiao to see a doctor for himself. It was the emperor himself who heard the news, remembered that he had made outstanding contributions, and specially let Sun Simiao and his party.

Unbelief! Ma Sanbao's first reaction was, of course, disbelief. Isn't it clear who Li Xiuning is?

When Ma Sanbao was about to come to the door in person, Li Chengzong arrived.

If Liu Bei hadn't looked at the thatched house three times, how could Zhuge Liang die willingly.

Li Chengzong saw Ma Sanbao and said: "Sun Simiao said that your illness will take another three months to recover." I hope you can stay in Chang'an, I wonder what you think?"

Ma Sanbao is like nothing, what the emperor says is what he says.

Li Chengzong saw that Ma Sanbao looked puzzled, but he generously told him the ins and outs of the matter. Among them, there are many hints that Ma Sanbao is not Li Xiuning's intention not to come to see him at all. It's just that I don't want her to have too close a connection with you and get you into trouble.

Ma Sanbao suddenly realized. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation ......)
