1493 A serious illness

The army finally left the Kushan territory, and Xiangju used the real blood relics of the Buddha in his private possession to inspire the locals to join the army, and the team soon grew to more than 100,000 people.

When the Guishan army heard that the Han army had withdrawn, they immediately returned to kill the army, Xiangju was insufficient, Fulousha was reoccupied by the King of Guishan, and the eighteen relics left by the True Buddha also became the largest capital of Guishan.

In other words, the disparity in strength between the two sides was gradually narrowing, and in the next hundred years, Xiangju and his descendants led the local natives to wage countless wars against the Kushan.

The devastated Kushan was eventually defeated and split into several small states, and the Gupta Empire arose, eventually unifying the entire territory. Following Zhuge Liang's instructions, the Gupta Empire put the people first, vigorously developed the economy, supported religion, and became a country with a fairly good reputation.

Zhuge Liang led the army, set off from Fulousha, and it took three months to come to Sanjiang City, where the king of Yuanmulu lived, and now renamed Nanzhong City.

Rushing back all the way, Zhuge Liang has been eating very little, and he doesn't talk much to Wang Baoyu on weekdays, often staying alone in the big tent, taking out his daughter's jade box containing essence and blood, gently stroking it, and sighing uncontrollably.

Time is a good medicine to heal wounds, and Wang Baoyu did not persuade him too much, he believed that Zhuge Liang would be able to untie this difficult knot by himself.

Whenever he thinks of Zhuge Guo dying like that, Wang Baoyu's eyes are also red, and his mood is heavy, at this time he has already regretted it, if he risked condemnation and agreed to marry Guoguo to himself, Yiqiē should not become like this.

As for the blood relic left by Zhuge Guo, Wang Baoyu hid it quietly, and didn't tell anyone, he wanted to give it to his sister Huang Yueying, just as his daughter's last thought left to her!

Wukong did not stay in Guishuang and followed him all the way back, which made Sun Shangxiang very happy, as if he had a child.

"Good son, that's right, where to stay can't chant Buddha, now Guishan is going to be a mess, the monks are participating in the war, how can we Yiling be good." But you are only allowed to be close to me, and don't let other women hug me, especially that Yunyun, who is very arrogant, and has a temper like a tiger, which is very scary. Sun Shangxiang brainwashed Wukong in advance, Wukong was expressionless, one ear in, one ear out.

And Fan Jinqiang, who really picked up a son, couldn't hide his worry, the child looked more than half a year old, and his development was normal, but in addition to crying, he couldn't make any other sounds. was so anxious that Fan Jinqiang hurriedly asked the military doctor for examination, but he didn't see anything wrong, so he had to wait a little longer.

Along the way, Wang Baoyu asked his subordinates to collect some butterflies with unique shapes and patterns and make them into specimens, which he kept for use.

Hearing that Zhuge Liang's army had returned from Guishuang, Chen Zhen, the assassin of Nanzhong, immediately led officials to greet him from the city. ”

"It doesn't matter! It's just a tiring journey. Zhuge Liang waved his hand.

"King Hanxing, the style is still the same!" Chen Zhen arched his hand.

"What's the same demeanor, don't you see that I've lost weight and darkened a lot? You say that as if I didn't do anything to fight. Wang Baoyu said with a smile.

The king laughed.

The army stopped outside the city, Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu led a group of generals into the city, and now the Nanzhong City is much more prosperous than the original, Chen Zhen works diligently and conscientiously, tirelessly, and appeases other barbarians in Nanzhong, opens up roads, and vigorously develops commodity trade and material circulation, so that all parts of Nanzhong have made great improvements in a short period of time.

While Zhuge Liang praised Chen Zhen, he felt that he was too tired, so he decided to let Lu Kai stay and take up the position of a different driver to help Chen Zhen take care of the affairs of Nanzhong.

Lu Kai did not complain about this, and soon devoted himself to work, and later after Chen Zhen returned to Chengdu, Lu Kai also followed, and finally took the position of Taichang, ranking Jiuqing.

At this time, it was April of the second year, and a few days after arriving in Nanzhong City, Zhuge Liang suddenly fell ill, no matter how the doctor used the medicine, the high fever did not go away, so that his face was always red, but his body kept feeling cold, and the quilt was added one by one.

Wang Baoyu was anxious, and arranged for people to constantly wipe Zhuge Liang's body with cold water to lower his body temperature, at first, Zhuge Liang spoke normally, but after a week, he often fell into a short coma.

The situation became strict, and at this time, even if he went to Hua Tuo, it was too late, and the doctors nearby were all searched, and they were helpless one by one.

Wang Baoyu sighed, he used all the methods he could think of, but Zhuge Liang occasionally talked nonsense, revealing the situation of the next life.

"Baoyu, in my opinion, Mr. must have missed Guoguo too much." Sun Shangxiang reminded.

"It makes sense, Mr. has always felt that he owes Guoguo, and then such a thing happened, so he couldn't bear it." Wang Baoyu sighed: "It's just that this matter is the most difficult to do, and Guoguo seems to be here to collect debts." ”

"Who said that, I think Guoguo is here to pay off debts!" Sun Shangxiang retorted, and was also worried: "Guoguo is gone, if Mr. has three longs and two shorts, Sister Yueying will definitely not be able to bear it." ”

"Don't say such discouraged words, the gentleman will be fine." Wang Baoyu said a word, got up and went to see Zhuge Liang again, Wukong came over from the side, took Wang Baoyu's hand, and looked forward to it.

"Little one, you want to go and see Mr. too, well, let's go together!" Wang Baoyu nodded.

Wang Baoyu took Wukong's hand like this and came to Zhuge Liang's room, Zhuge Liang, who was lying on the bed, had just woken up, his face was still burned red, his lips were dry and cracked, and there were bloodshots.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance, Wang Baoyu's eyes were moist, and he went over to take Zhuge Liang's hand and asked softly, "Sir, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I suddenly dreamed of Guoguo again just now, and she was laughing with me!" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly.

"Guoguo is gone, don't think about her anymore, Sister Yueying and Zhan'er are still waiting for you at home!" Wang Baoyu persuaded.

Zhuge Liang showed a puzzled look, and then laughed at himself: "I even forgot about it, and it was like a dream." ”

"Sir, you have always been strong, and everyone needs you." Wang Baoyu comforted.

"I know so, but I can't get rid of my knots, and I'm depressed. Life in the world, decades of waste, without me Zhuge Kongming, what can I do. Zhuge Liang was a little negative, then squinted his eyes and looked out the window, and asked in surprise: "Baoyu, you see the butterflies fluttering there, but Guoguo is back?" ”

Wang Baoyu looked back, where was the shadow of a butterfly! Hey, I'm confused again, touching Zhuge Liang's forehead, it's hot, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that even good people will be burned.
