As soon as Wang Shicheng came, there was no way to talk deeply, so why bother to ask for his resignation immediately. Luo Guoqi sent him out, and he didn't turn back for a long time. Footsteps sounded outside the door, and five or six people entered. Wang Shicheng didn't come alone, he brought Tian Jialie, Ji Zongzhou, and two generals, and a middle-aged man who Deng She didn't know.

Dunsher struggled to get out of bed to greet him. Wang Shicheng hurriedly took two steps, pressed him on the bed, and said with a smile: "King Yan is unwell, why be polite?" Besides, you and I are our own family, and you still use it to be polite to me? Lie down, lie down. Looking around, he frowned, "Why is there no one to serve?" Where is Lao Sun? Come, go and call him. ”

Lao Sun is the steward of the State Guest House.

Deng She hurriedly told Bi Qianniu to stop and explained, "Don't blame Sun for taking care of things. I was so quiet that I sent the maid away. ”

Wang Shicheng laughed and said: "The Goryeo woman is the best in the world, and King Yan has been in Haidong for a long time, and he is used to seeing beautiful women and enjoying all the blessings." I have some disdain for my Yidu's rouge, and it is a matter of course. ”

Deng Shelaiyi brought a lot of Korean girls as gifts, some for Wang Shicheng, and some for Ji Zongzhou and others. These Korean women are all trained by Hong Jixun, and they are all beautiful and can sing and dance. I don't know what Ji Zongzhou and the others think, anyway, Wang Shicheng is extremely satisfied, so he said this.

Deng She smiled and said, "Haidong is not as good as Yidu. Yidu Wuhua Tianbao has a lot of output. The cold land of Haidong is very barren, and the only people who can handle it are a few Goryeo women. If the prince likes it, when I go back, I will pick the good ones and send some with the prince. ”

"Haha. King Yan is beautiful, but disrespectful. I thank you in advance. Wang Shicheng noticed that the curtains and curtains in the room were all tightly covered, and it was expected that because Deng She was sick and did not dare to see the wind, he first introduced the people brought by Deng She, and the two generals were Xu Jizu and Gao Yanshi, who had all seen at the banquet, and they stepped forward to salute Deng She. Deng She ordered Bi Qianniu to help him up as usual.

Wang Shicheng said: "Last night, Lao Sun reported to me urgently, saying that King Yan was sick. What did the doctor say? ”

"The weather is hot, the hair is vented, and the evil of summer heat invades the lungs, steaming the muscles and the surface, and depleting the Jinqi. No big deal. It's just a little bit of qi deficiency and yin injury. Yesterday morning, because of greed, I ate two more cloves of chilled watermelon, and I was cold and had a little diarrhea. ”

"The evil of summer heat, invading the lungs" Yunyun, in popular terms, is a heat cold, a heat cold. Deng She was half-leaning on the bed, covered with futon, and there was no window in the room, very stuffy, his face was pale, his forehead was hot and sweaty, he spoke in a low voice, and swallowed a few times from time to time, indicating a sore throat. Judging from the symptoms he showed on the outside, it did look like a heat cold.

He pressed it twice on his stomach, wondering in his heart: "After eating Croton, it's been so long, why hasn't it worked?" Isn't there less food to eat? ”

Last night, on the effect and dosage of croton, Luo Guoqi and others specially tested it first. One of the guards took the initiative to ask for help, and he also ate so much that in less than half an hour, he ran to the toilet two or three times in a row. There should be no problem. Deng She thought to himself, "Wait a little longer. ”

Wang Shicheng couldn't understand the pathology of Chinese medicine, and Ji Zongzhou explained to him in a low voice. He let out an "oh" and said, "It's frozen, no, it's hot." Wang Shicheng has been in Liaodong and knows that the weather in Yidu is indeed hotter and wetter than in Liaodong. Deng She fought in Liaodong all the year round, and it is not surprising that he was not very accustomed to the humidity and heat of Yidu.

From the beginning of entering the door, Tian Jialie kept looking and observing, looking at the furnishings in the room for a while, looking at the medicine bowl on the desk for a while, and putting more observations on Deng She.

He interjected at this moment and said, "The doctor in the museum is just an ordinary gentleman, and it is difficult to call him a good doctor." This ,......" pointed to the middle-aged man Deng She didn't know, and he continued, "Mr. Wu Yulin, Mr. Wu, is a famous doctor in Yidu. Skilled doctors. I specially invited to treat King Yan. and lest quacks make mistakes. ”

Deng She's heart thumped.

He is in good health, all the illnesses are pretended, listening to Tian Jialie's tone, this Wu Yulin is still a famous doctor, once he takes the pulse, it will be difficult to conceal it, isn't it all exposed? Fortunately, he had already guessed that Tian Jialie would come to this hand, and he was prepared for a follow-up move. He glanced at Bi Qianniu, who nodded invisibly.

Deng She's expression did not move, he arched his hand towards Tian Jialie, thanked him, said hard work, stretched out his hand frankly, and let Wu Yulin come up to diagnose the pulse.

Taking advantage of Wu Yulin's time to diagnose the pulse, Deng She smiled and said: "Tian Gong just said, 'so as not to make a mistake with quacks', but it reminded me of a joke of the ancients. He sat firmly on the bed, looked at the eight roads, and clearly saw Wang Shicheng's expression suddenly becoming a little uncomfortable as Wu Yulin began to diagnose the pulse. Deng She knew in his heart that before Wang Shicheng came to visit the patient, Tian Jialie must not know what to say to him.

Wang Shicheng was absent-minded, and Tian Jialie couldn't take his eyes off Wu Yulin's diagnosis, and neither of them responded to Deng She's words immediately.

The room suddenly became quiet, there was a brief cold scene, and the atmosphere was eerie. Xu Jizu and Gao Yanshi didn't know Wang Shicheng and Tian Jialie's intentions, but they were very interested in Deng She's jokes. However, without waiting for the two of them to ask, Ji Zongzhou slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask King Yan, I don't know what joke I remembered?" ”

"A certain person, too. Beginner literature, three years without middle school. Then he practiced martial arts, competed in the school field, sent a arrow, and the drummers were chased everywhere. It is a doctor, successful, one day sick, write a good prescription, take it, and die. ”

Before Ji Zongzhou could react, Gao Yanshi couldn't hold back and laughed first. Then the room burst into laughter. Including Tian Jialie and Wang Shicheng, everyone laughed. Even though Ji Zongzhou was steady, he couldn't help it, he smiled and said: "Such a person who can't write or martial arts, and who studies medicine and harms his own life, is really rare in the world." ”

Deng She was afraid that Wu Yulin would be uncomfortable, so he smiled and said to him: "I thought of this joke because of Tian Gong's words, and telling it is nothing more than fun for you." It's not an insinuation. ”

Wu Yulin was in his thirties, and this joke amused him, and he smiled: "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness King Yan, before I studied medicine, although I also studied literature and did not achieve much, but I definitely never practiced martial arts." He finished diagnosing his pulse, took a few steps back, and said, "The gentleman in the hall has diagnosed and treated well, and King Yan has indeed suffered from the evil of summer heat." ”

Bi Qianniu presented the prescription prescribed by the doctor in the hall and asked him to watch it, Wu Yulin looked at it carefully, and said: "The medication and dosage are roughly right." It's just this flavor medicine,......" He picked up the pen on the case, deleted and corrected two places, and then returned Bi Qianniu, saying, "According to this prescription, your highness will be cured within seven or eight days." ”

Tian Jialie was suspicious and said, "A little fever and cold, it will take seven or eight days?" ”

There is a saying that "if you are not a good person, you are a good doctor", and people who read not only read the Four Books and the Five Classics, but also often dabbled in medical books. Although Tian Jialie has no medical skills and can't diagnose pulses, he has read some basic medical books.

Wu Yulin said: "If you stop the cold, you naturally don't need to wait for a long time. King Yan has lived in a cold place in eastern Liaodong for a long time, and his physique is cold. Yidu is both hot and tidal, heat is yang evil, and tide is yin evil, for example, above the cold, yin and yang attack each other, and Yan Wang is cold again, and he has diarrhea. In addition, King Yan was young, he joined the army early, and he had no eyes on the battlefield, so he must have suffered a lot of injuries. I just checked the pulse with King Yan, and I noticed that there was a slight loss of qi and blood. Combined with a few strokes, I had to work hard to recuperate. ”

He turned his head and explained to Deng She: "Young people, there is not enough blood and energy. Yan Wang can pay more attention in the future, to replenish the qi and blood, you must know that medicinal supplements are only external forces, strengthening the body and consolidating the foundation, it is fundamental. ”

Tian Jialie was skeptical.

Deng She said: "Thank you Mr. for reminding me." He sighed and said, "Strengthen your body." Easier said than done. People only see one side of the scenery, who knows the hard work behind it? Sitting in this position, thousands of miles and millions of people, I am not afraid of your jokes, I am really walking on thin ice, trembling. often has a strong sense of inadequacy, and repeatedly abdicates to give way to the heart of the virtuous. ”

He seemed to have a feeling and said: "At a banquet last year, I asked the generals of Haidong what their ambitions were. Some say that the people are hanging upside down, and some say that they are promoted to make a fortune. ......, lord, do you know what my ambition is? ”

"I don't know."

"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan. Drunken woman, enjoy it. ”

Wang Shicheng was unhappy and said: "King Yan is in his youth and working hard, how can he have such a negative and decadent thought? An old man like me is often ambitious! ”

He glanced at Tian Jialie, and the meaning was very clear, you have to say that Deng She pretended to be sick, where did he pretend to be sick? You have to say that Deng She has the intention of plotting against Shandong, do you hear? People don't even want Haidong anymore.

Deng She said: "The prince is in his prime, and he is ambitious, so it is a matter of course. I've been in the army since I was a child, but I'm really tired of killing on the battlefield. To tell the truth, the reason why I have persevered until now is because I have received the favor of the Lord and cannot repay it. Death for a confidant. I promised this life to the lord a long time ago, and I don't see it as my own. Therefore, I had to cheer up and repay Jun's kindness. ”

Deng She's words were deeply meaningful. With his haggard and sincere demeanor at this time, he was well behaved and loyal. Wu Yulin, Gao Yanshi, etc., were moved when they heard the words.

Wang Shicheng's ears are soft, and Tian Jialie's words once or twice will inevitably make him suspicious of Deng She. In these days, he sent a lot of people to Haidong to find out what Deng She had done before. The information brought back to him by the meticulous workers was varied, but there was one thing in common, that is, the people of Haidong all spoke in unison and praised Deng She's benevolence.

There was another little thing that caught his interest.

It is said that in Deng She's mansion, there were three wives and four concubines, from the princess of the former Goryeo to the maids who served, and raised no less than dozens of women. There is a favored surname Li, who was snatched by Deng She from his courtiers. In front of him, compared with Deng She's ambition of "drunken woman", Wang Shicheng was convinced, and did not think that Deng She was cheating.

He sighed: "King Yan is loyal and courageous, respectable and admirable. ”

Tian Jialie suppressed his suspicions and changed his words: "King Fang Cai Yan said that after he goes back, he will pick some beautiful Goryeo women to send to my father-in-law. There is a reluctant request below, and I also ask His Royal Highness King Yan to agree. ”

"Tian Gong, please speak."

"The sage has a saying: Lust also. King Yan brought the Goryeo girl of Yidu this time, and she was fortunate to get two of them, and she really hooked her soul. If you are rich, can you ask King Yan to also give you two more? ”

"Haha. It's a little thing, it's a little effort. ”

"I wonder when King Yan will go back?"

Deng She was convinced of Tian Jialie, and he turned this question over and over again, and asked it almost every time he met. Deng She's dedication to him is also "respectable and admirable". Tian Jialie said again: "Yes, Yan Wanggui's body is sick, and it takes seven or eight days to recuperate." Then rushed to Anfeng, and it took more than half a month to go back and forth. In this way, it will take a month to say the least. Heck, I can't wait. He talked to himself, and without giving Deng She a chance to answer, he took the initiative to set a date for him to set off and leave Yidu.

"Maybe not a month."

"How?"

"The guards I sent to Huaisi to explore the way just came back this morning."

"How's it going?"

"Not optimistic."

"I want to hear about it."

"Qixian and Suzhou, although they are still under the control of Anfeng, but the Tartars in Caozhou, Bianliang, Luoyang and other places are becoming more and more fortified, and there are light horsemen and elite horses every day, patrolling the surrounding hundreds of miles. It was extremely difficult for them to pass through the defense zone. Moreover, Zhang Shicheng on the coast had only fought a battle with Wu Guobu a month ago, and the defense of the seaway was also very strict, making it even more difficult to pass. ”

"What does His Royal Highness King Yan mean?"

"To Anfeng, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the trip." Deng She was worried.

Tian Jialie sneered at the corner of his mouth and said, "Then, what are your highness's plans?" ”

"And think long-term. If I am cured, the road will not work. Then, I have no choice but to put aside the idea of seeing your majesty for the time being. ”

"Haha!"

"Why is Tian Gong laughing?"

"The joke told by Yan Wang Shicai is really ridiculous."

Deng She pretended not to understand what he meant, and ignored it. Wang Shicheng diverted the topic and said: "If the road is really dangerous, it is better to go to Anfeng slowly." Since King Yan has this heart, even if it is difficult to make the trip, presumably the lord can be considerate, and he will definitely be able to feel King Yan's loyalty. ”

Deng She sighed, hit the bed with his hand, and said: "The last time I saw the lord, it was the day of the Northern Expedition, and the lord personally swore an oath, and I was destined to see the face of the sky." It's been a few years now. The feelings of longing are beyond words. He changed his words, "The lord's kindness is deep, and I am hard to repay." Even if it is difficult to make this trip, I will definitely do my best to fulfill the order of the lord, even if I die! ”

Wang Shicheng said curiously: "The lord's order? What command? ”

"Of course, it is the decree made by the lord on the holy decree to make me the king of Yan,......。" Deng She also said curiously, "Why doesn't the prince know? Didn't I mention it to you when I first came to Yidu? Two days ago, we were discussing it together. ”

"You mean?"

Deng She covered his stomach, jumped up from the bed, put on his shoes, took three steps and made two steps, and walked outward, while walking, he did not forget to make a staggering posture: "Ouch, ouch! Sudden abdominal pain, ouch,......, please sit down. Offended, offended. Bumped into Luo Guoqi, who was belatedly returning at the door, Deng She made a look, left Wang Shicheng and the others, and went out by himself.

After he went out, he stopped outside the door and listened attentively, as he expected, Wang Shicheng was confused, and without waiting for Luo Guoqi to salute, he asked endlessly: "What edict did the Holy Lord give to your lord?" Deng She smiled slightly, and then had another unbearable abdominal pain, and hurriedly ran to the toilet through gritted teeth.
