Section XVIII

He glanced at Zhu Yuqing gratefully, careful why Xiaotian pinched the quilt, then stood up and said loudly: "What are you doing like this?" There is still hope for Governor Ho's health."

Hearing Wu Ming say this, everyone's spirits perked up, Ye Lihe glanced at Wu Ming, and said a little dejectedly: "Grandpa, don't lie to us, the old governor is hurting his heart and lungs, and this kind of injury is difficult for the gods to save." ”

Wu Ming took Zhu Yuqing's hand and said loudly: "If this disease is placed in normal times, it is naturally hopeless, but don't forget, my wife and I went to Persia last year. In exchange for the life of his national teacher, the dead wood not only cured his wife's stubborn disease, but even the dead wood magic skills were taught, with this magic skill, what other diseases could not be cured? ”

The dead wood has been passed on to Zhu Yuqing for some **, but it is not the essence at all, it is just a side branch such as the rejuvenation technique and the yin and yang Jiaotai. Most of these things talk about the way of health preservation, and it is impossible to cure He Xiaotian's illness. Unless you find him again and beg him to make a move, there will be a chance of survival. But dead wood only has ten years to live, and if you shoot once, it will accelerate the consumption of life, how can you agree? Besides, now that the old monk is far away in Gehan, the distant water can't save the thirst, even if he rushes over, it's too late in time.

Wu Ming said so much, just to keep these camel battalion generals confident.

Deadwood only gave Zhu Yuqing the technique of fur, which was not clear to others, plus his proud disciple, the former Persian saint Esther was also one of Mrs. Wu Ming. These camel battalion soldiers believed eighty percent at the moment, and He Lei even said in an urn voice: "What the grandfather said is, damn it, now is not the time to be sad, manly husband, what are you crying and crying, everyone is gone, go back to sleep, raise your spirits, and prepare to fuck the Persians, so why the governor will take revenge." ”

Seeing that these big men were scolding and scolding, Zhu Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief, and she swept around: "Ah Ming, it's so late, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go get you something to eat." ”

Seeing He Xiaotian's situation, Wu Mingna still had some appetite, but he couldn't resist his wife's kindness, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't eaten the food you cooked for a long time, I miss it." ”

Zhu Yuqing sighed and said softly, "Just don't dislike the vulgar food." ”

When she said this, Wu Ming thought it was a polite word at first, but when the meal was served, he realized that the meal was really "vulgar". Three wowotou, a plate of dried pickles, plus a small pot of vegetable soup. There were a few pieces of black minced meat floating in the soup, and I don't know how long it was dried meat. A few leaves and minced meat tumbled up and down, the only green color in this late dish.

Wu Ming couldn't help frowning: "Xiaoqing, you usually eat this?" ”

Zhu Yuqing sighed: "Although there is a shortage of food now, Lord He has not deducted me in grain logistics. But all the people in the city, there are people who starve to death every day, and I, as the Virgin, still have a lot of fish and meat in idleness. ”

She really regarded herself as a virgin, Wu Ming actually wanted to say, since you are a temporary replacement, don't take it so seriously, why treat yourself badly. But when the words came to his lips, he held back again. Whether it is Xiaoqing or He Yi, the two not only look the same, but their personalities are also very different. Seeing the people like this, it is reasonable for her to feel uncomfortable.

After eating, the husband and wife stayed in He Xiaotian's tent all night, but He Xiaotian was unconscious, and Wu Ming couldn't talk to him. When it was almost dawn, Zhu Yuqing finally couldn't stay up and fell asleep on the table. Wu Ming was very distressed, and carefully carried her to a tent next to her, and asked a maid to serve her, and then quietly retreated.

Back at He Xiaotian's tent, Wu Ming found a chair and sat down. In the past few days, he has been busy with the war, and has not been able to rest well, even he feels a little sleepy, and can't help but doze off, and when he is half-asleep, he suddenly hears a commotion outside, he wakes up with a spirit, stands up and says, "What's the matter, has something happened?" ”

A guard came in from outside, saluted, and said, "Grandpa Qiqi, Lord He has arrived and is waiting outside." ”

He Dubo is here?

Although Wu Ming was the prince of the Southern Han Dynasty, He Dubo was the lord of a country, and he didn't dare to slack off when he heard the words, so he hurriedly straightened his clothes and walked out of the tent. As soon as I arrived outside, I saw a large sedan chair with a red top parked at the door, and a large group of officials gathered around, one of whom was wearing a crown and luxurious clothes. There is almost no need to guess, there must be no doubt about He Dubo. As soon as he saw Wu Ming come out, He Dubo smiled and said: "I have long heard that Dingguo Gong is a young hero, but when I see it today, it is heroic and extraordinary." ”

Now that the whole city is short of food, this He Dubo is so pompous, Wu Ming is a little unhappy in his heart, but he thinks of asking for the other party, but it is not good to offend him, he is patient at the moment, and he also smiled: "The lord of the country praises falsely, the kid is uninvited, he is really a villain, and I hope I don't blame him." ”

He Dubo laughed, looking very hearty: "Grandpa said that, according to the relationship between Governor He, we are still a family, you can come to Yuchen as a guest, I can't be happy, how can I blame?" ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and He Dubo said straight to the point: "Xiao Wang has prepared some side dishes in the house, and I specially invite my grandfather to come over the house to talk about it, and I hope to appreciate my face." ”

Even if He Dubo didn't come by himself, Wu Ming would go to the door to discuss the plan to withdraw from the army, and now it was sleepy and met the pillow, and he said happily at the moment: "The lord of the country is invited, but it is disrespectful, the kid thanked him first." ”

He Dubo smiled again: "In this way, this king is waiting for his grandfather." After speaking, he hugged his fists, returned to the sedan chair, and twelve sedan chair men carried the sedan chair, surrounded by a large group of officials, and hugged him away.

After sending He Dubo away, Wu Ming entered the main tent again and glanced at He Xiaotian, and saw that the other party's eyes were closed, and there was still no sign of sobriety, so he couldn't help sighing. Originally, he wanted to say hello to Zhu Yuqing, but when he walked to the small camp next to him, he saw that his wife was sleeping soundly, so he didn't bother. On this trip, Wu Ming didn't bring any entourage, and there was nothing to prepare, so he only tidied up his clothes a little, and told Hei Wu to pay attention to the safety of his wife and Governor He, so he asked the camel battalion soldiers for a horse and rode towards the palace.

Compared with the imperial palace in Nanning, the palace in Yuchen Kingdom is much smaller, but although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Compared to the surrounding buildings, it is much more majestic and easily recognizable. Under the guidance of the two retinues left by He Dubo, the three of them hurried all the way, and it didn't take long for them to enter the palace and go straight to the main hall. When I arrived at the door of the main hall, I saw many palace people shuttling back and forth from afar, which was very lively. A eunuch in front of the door said in a loud voice: "General Hanzhong and Xi, Wu Ming, the Duke of Dingguo, has arrived." ”

Although this man was a eunuch, his voice was clear, and he did not feel the slightest hint of hissing.

Walking in the inner hall, but saw that there were many people sitting inside, Wu Mingyi walked in, He Dubo, who was sitting on the main seat, took the lead in standing up, as if receiving an order, the rest of the people all stood up in unison, He Dubo pointed to the first position on the left and said: "Grandpa, please sit here." ”

The seat is respected by the left, but with Wu Ming's current status, it is not surprising that he has this treatment, but he still said politely: "Lord Wang, I really dare not be." ”

He Dubo said with a smile: "Grandpa is the half-son of Governor He, and he led the army to help, and I am grateful to the dust country." This position belongs to you, grandpa invited. ”

Wu Ming gave in slightly, and then sat down on the left side. Only then did he realize that there was still a seat on He Dubo's right side, and he couldn't help but be suspicious. With He Dubo's identity, who else deserves his attention so much that he has reserved a seat on the right, could it be that today's banquet is not just for himself?

He Dubo glanced at Wu Ming, but as if he knew what he was thinking, he continued to smile and said: "Grandpa is really coincidental, I just have a friend here, and it is your old friend." ”

Old friends? Wu Ming frowned, but no matter how much he wanted to break his head, he didn't expect who this person was. I was about to ask again, but then I heard the eunuch just now say in a loud voice: "Persian envoy, Wolf Marquis Chutian has arrived." ”

Is it Chu Tianxing!? Wu Ming was taken aback and almost lost his voice. The grudge entanglement between Chu Tianxing and him can be traced back to several years ago, when he led his army to the west, and Chu Tianxing, as the head of the Wolf Tooth Army, assassinated him, almost killing Esther. Then he was invited by Xiyi Kingdom to make a move to He Yi, the Holy Mother of Bailing, but was caught up by Wu Ming, and the two were in a life-and-death battle.

Isn't the Persian wolf marquis arid? How did this guy become a Persian wolf?

He was thinking about it, Chu Tianxing had already walked in a tiger's step, walked to He Dubo's right head and stood still, and saluted him first: "Chu Tianxing has seen the king." ”

He Dubo smiled: "The wolf marquis doesn't have to be polite. Have a seat! ”

Chu Tianxing sat down, then looked at Wu Ming opposite and smiled: "Grandpa, after a long time, the demeanor is better than in the past, Tianxing sees it today, but he is ashamed of himself." ”

He said it very politely, but the more polite the relationship between him and Wu Ming, the more hypocritical it became.

Seeing this, Wu Ming's heart sank. It is said that observing qi is like observing people, and Chu Tianxing in the past, although it was very difficult, his whole body was sharp, like a sharp blade out of the sheath. As the saying goes, one blow is exhausted, and then exhausted, three and decline, as long as this kind of person blocks the three-plate axe in front of him, the rest will be insufficient, but easy to deal with. But now he is deep and introverted, and there are almost no weaknesses in his body, so I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with.

He couldn't help but look the other party up and down a few times, and this look made his heart even more shocked, he couldn't even see the depth. In this way, Chu Tianxing's rank will not be lower than his own, and it is also a ninth rank.

Nine-stage masters are already rare in the world. Now the Persian army is surrounding the country of Yuchen, and Chu Tianxing has become a guest of He Dubo with the respect of wolves, could it be that He Dubo has already descended?

Seeing that Wu Ming was silent, Chu Tianxing smiled again: "Grandpa's face is different, is it because he is not in good health?" ”

Wu Ming settled down, and also smiled: "It's not that you're not in good health, it's just a little strange." ”

Chu Tianxing raised his eyebrows: "Oh, what's strange about Grandpa, can you teach me?"

Wu Ming looked at him and said word by word: "Brother Chu, although I am hostile to you, I admire you very much for what you have learned, and now I serve Persia. Don't you hear the old saying that Yidi has a king, not as good as Huaxia? ”

Chu Tianxing was stunned, suddenly laughed, and after a long while, he said with a straight face: "Grandpa's words are ridiculous, your general Fubo is more bright, wasn't he the Marquis of Persia before?" Now he is ridiculing Yu in turn, doesn't this also fulfill the old saying 'only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps'? ”
