Chapter 72: The Epistles
Since Luo Shixin got acquainted with Princess Pingyang, although Pingyang is a princess, he has been silently helping him: such as dealing with Yin Arat, such as Leping's compromise and cooperation, and then his partiality when competing with Li Yi.
With this feeling, Luo Shixin categorically will not sit idly by and watch Pingyang die like this.
"Doctor Lu, you quickly make a list of the precious medicinal materials needed to treat the princess, and I will send them to Chang'an urgently for eight hundred miles, and explain the situation, and ask His Majesty to send the imperial doctor to bring the medicinal materials to Zuoren City to support...... King Lee, I need a few reliable people who are proficient in Goguryeo and Silla languages, and it is better to be smart. ”
Luo Shixin had a good idea of both worlds, and while asking Li Yuan to send an imperial doctor to assist Lu Wenming, he went deep into Goguryeo and Silla to find Sun Simiao in Taebaeksan. Start with both sides, within your ability, and strive for the greatest hope.
Lu Wenming has been the boss of the Imperial Medical Department for more than 30 years, and he still knows a lot about the reserves of medicinal materials in the palace.
The precious medicinal materials that are cherished can be taken out in the Imperial Palace, and there is no need to save any frugality. He had already turned around and entered the room, preparing his pen and ink, and jotting down the materials that kept coming to his mind on paper.
Li Yi didn't hesitate much, nodded and strode out. Although obeying Luo Shixin's orders made him unhappy, he had already decided to stay out of the matter, and he would not give Luo Shixin the handle of the counterattack at this time, and seriously went to find someone for him. What Lu Wenming said was reasonable, and Li Yi also saw that Sun Simiao was the only one who could save Princess Pingyang. And Sun Simiao is far away in Taibai Mountain, it takes nearly a month to come and go, and in just one month, he is looking for a doctor to collect medicine in the mountains that stretch for thousands of miles in a foreign land, what is the difference between looking for a needle in a haystack?
As long as Princess Pingyang died unexpectedly because of Luo Shixin's decision, it would not be so easy for Luo Shixin to get rid of it. Taking advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well was what he should have done at that time.
"I'm going to make you jump right now!"
Li Yi thought to himself, if Su Dingfang was his original first enemy, the current Luo Shixin was honored to take this position.
Luo Shixin stepped in front of Pei Qingyi, looked at this anxious and almost ownerless beautiful chivalrous woman and said: "Don't worry, sharpen the knife and cut the wood, and when you are fully prepared, we will leave together." ”
Pei Qingyi was stunned: "The general is also going with you?" ”
Luo Shixin nodded and said, "I'm in a hurry, and if I want to wait blindly in this ghost place, I can't do it." Besides, the purpose of this trip is not in my Li Tang homeland, and it is not suitable for many people. You are a woman, and many things are not as convenient as our men. You and I go together, and we can take care of each other. ”
"I'll go too!"
"I'll go with me!"
"Count me in!"
Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, and Qiu Shili stood up one after another, and their actions were very ordinary, but they were loyal to Princess Pingyang.
Five or six of the female knights also came forward.
"It's good!" Luo Shixin looked at these volunteers and thought for a while: "In groups of two or three, we will be divided into four groups to go to Taibai Mountain and the towns near Taibai Mountain to inquire about Dr. Sun's whereabouts, at most two months, no matter whether we find Dr. Sun's whereabouts or not, we must come back." Now you all go and rest, and when you're ready, set off immediately. ”
Luo Shixin inherited the martial arts of this body, but in general, it is still based on the soul that has crossed over, and he likes to plan and move when he does things, and he uses his brain when he should use his brain, and of course he is not ambiguous when he should do it.
Taking advantage of Li Yi's search for someone, Luo Shixin specially found local dignitaries who had business dealings with Goguryeo and Silla to understand the general situation of Goguryeo and Silla and the country's trends.
The current king of Goguryeo is Gao Jianwu, known as King Rongliu, who ascended the throne in the year of the fall of the Sui Dynasty and the establishment of Li Tang. When he ascended the throne, he also specially asked Li Tang for Taoist classics to show his friendship. Although the two sides have a feud in their bones, because the ministers control the government and are unable to take care of others, there is no strict rejection of the Central Plains merchants.
As for the king of Silla, a guy named Kim Baek-jeong, known as King Jinpyeong, this person is quite capable, highly respectful of the Central Plains culture, based on the bureaucratic system of the Central Plains, perfecting various Silla bureaucratic systems, is a country close to the Central Plains, and treats the merchants of the Central Plains as if they were guests.
Relations between the two countries are not harmonious, and border frictions are constant. Especially for the competition for the resources of Taibai Mountain, it is often overfired. However, because of the equal strength, the two sides deliberately restrained, and there was no large-scale battle.
Through a series of understandings, Luo Shixin finally realized that the so-called Taibai Mountain is actually Changbai Mountain.
Thinking of finding someone on the mountain that stretches for more than 1,000 kilometers, Luo Shixin can only hold the mentality of doing his best to obey the destiny of heaven.
"Silla is so polite to the merchants of the Central Plains, and he has a pro-Tang heart for a long time, which is not impossible to take advantage of."
Luo Shixin pondered any conditions in his favor, and suddenly got a good news, after Lu Wenming performed the extremely clever acupuncture method in acupuncture, he finally made Princess Pingyang regain consciousness.
**********
In the bright, spacious and airy bedroom, Princess Pingyang leaned in front of the couch with Pei Qingyi's support, listening to Pei Qingyi talk about what happened after she fainted.
As for her condition, she naturally knew it at the first time.
In front of Princess Pingyang, Pei Qingyi's clumsy lying skills were exposed as soon as he showed his head.
Pingyang never imagined that the moment she suffered back then would bring her life in danger five years later.
Thinking that death was so close to her, thinking that she was only twenty-six years old, the age to make great achievements, but she was about to die of illness, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but show weakness in how she knew it, and her spirit was a little low. But when Luo Shixin finally decided to divide into four teams and go to Taibai Mountain to find Sun Simiao in person, a trace of wonder flashed in his eyes unconsciously, and he shook his head and said: "It's too irrational, he shouldn't carry this matter!" If I really have an accident, even if my father knows that it is not General Luo's fault, he will not be able to help but be angry with him because he is too involved in it. ”
She knew her father, it was human nature, and people can't always be rational.
Pei Qingyi also showed a sad color, but said affirmatively: "I think this is what makes General Luo different, he has the courage to take responsibility." It's like Li Yi's bastard, it's clean, it's really a bastard. Looking at his face, I wanted to give him an ear scraper. ”
Princess Pingyang smiled weakly, and bits and pieces of contact with Luo Shixin came to her mind: "What you said is right, General Luo is indeed different from ordinary people. Bring pen and paper, I will first repair a book and give it to my father. General Luo is the best of the tiger and bear generals comparable to Wei Qing and Huo Quai. It is an indispensable talent for me Li Tang, and no accident can occur because of me in any case. ”
