Liu Jing knew that his recent anxiety and boredom had nothing to do with the Chu army's capture of three cities in the Song Kingdom. When he heard the news of the Song army's successive defeats, he even felt that the Song Kingdom was about to be destroyed, which was gratifying! But as the king of Song, above the court, he naturally had to show his anger in front of the hundred officials, and held them accountable one by one.

Perhaps, this is what the chief of the Xuan Dao said: "Flesh and bone are not one person, one bone is one, and the body is one person." ”

When all this love and hate are entangled in him alone, it is a bone-eating heartburn day and night.

At this time, when he suddenly heard this pure piano sound, the anxiety and boredom in his heart were indeed a little less. Facing the violin behind the bamboo curtain, Liu Jing slowly took down the hand that had been covering the hilt of the sword.

Xue Fan filled the brazier with new firewood, handed a straw futon to the King of Song, and left the thatched house.

Liu Jing sat cross-legged on the futon, like a cultivator, closed his eyes and spit out with the sound of the piano of the Xuan Dao Chief, and while exhaling, he silently recited what Xue Fan said - the medical heart needs to be explained, and the explanation is to be depressed, and the depression is dispersed.

He thought, "Is it really possible to 'depressurize' by talking about my suffering?" But how can I tell my secrets to outsiders? But apart from a worldly master like the Profound Dao Chief, who else can I tell these pains to? The Song people can't say it, and Shu'er doesn't want to listen to it......

Perhaps, only this centenarian with a mute disease can solve my broken words.

He is dumb and has lived in seclusion, so he should not tell my secrets.

But he is a native of Chu and was born in Shu. Now that Song and Chu are at war, the fall of Shu is also the work of the Song State, this old man came to the Jade Capital at this time, and he has figured out my temperament, and led me here, it seems that he came prepared, how can he be gullible? ”

So when the words came to his mouth, Liu Jing finally sat quietly and listened to the piano.

The sun will fall, Liu Jing did not say a word, and the old man's piano sounded endlessly.

After a song, Xue Fan pushed the door in, and said to Liu Jing with a smile: "Your Highness, it's not early, my master should rest." ”

Liu Jing immediately got up and saluted the old man: "Thank you Dao Elder for entertaining the younger generation with peerless music." The younger generation listened to the music and listened to it fascinated, and sat at this hour for a while, which was a lot of disturbance! The music of the Taoist qin can indeed make people's minds clear. The previous worries of the younger generations have also been resolved. ”

The sound of the piano drifted leisurely, and the old man wrote with his pen.

Xue Fan handed Liu Ying's book to King Song, and it read: "Fortunately." ”

Nothing else than this short word.

Liu Jing had no choice but to bow to the old man and leave the thatched house with Xue Fan. When Xue Fan sent him to the chariot, he asked, "Little sir, do you know why the Sect Master of Xuan Xuan lives in the Jade Capital?" When to come and when to go? ”

Xue Fan said: "Before I apprenticed, no, no, before I was born, my master often personally took his disciples to visit all over Kyushu. He said, "How can you do it if you can't practice and practice?" Meaning, how can you practice without walking on the road.

I heard from my fellow brother that my master lived in Yudu, not less than 20 times, and each time he stayed for a short season, either in spring or winter. He said that whether it is the jade capital of Qi or the jade capital of Song country, the spring flowers of this city are in full bloom, gathering the vigorous atmosphere of all things in Kyushu, and although the winter is cold, it is the snow lining the fireworks, and it is quite warm in the world.

This time, we also set off before the beginning of winter according to Master's custom. Around the time when the Chu army set out to attack the Song Dynasty, my master took me across the Chu River into the Jade River to the Jade Capital. As for when Master will leave, I don't know for sure, but he should leave at the turn of spring and summer, as he does every time. "I love watching Chinese

Liu Jing asked again: "Do you have a friendship between the chief of the Xuan Dao and the dignitaries of the Chu State?" ”

Xue Fan replied with a smile: "My master is not famous, and the dignitaries and nobles of any country want to visit my master more or less." The nature of the state of Chu is no exception. For example, the aunt of the current King of Chu has been living in seclusion in Qiandang Mountain for several years, and occasionally goes back to the spiritual temple to ask questions, and has also spoken something to my master. Also, a few years ago, King Zhao also visited my master when he was living in Pingliang and asked my master to heal him. ”

"After your master healed King Zhao's injuries, has King Zhao's old illness improved?"

"It's not that I'm bragging, I'm listening to the senior brothers, they say that if it weren't for my master, King Zhao would have returned to the west a long time ago. Because of this, King Zhao not only gave my master a large sum of money, but also gave us a large sum of money to return to the spiritual temple, which is enough for us to cultivate eight more spiritual temples! King Zhao also said that he wanted to mention a list of famous doctors in Kyushu, and naturally listed my master at the top of the list, but my master refused. My master said that medical skills are incomparable, and I have never dealt with King Zhao again. ”

"Your master has seen the King of Chu?"

"I heard my senior brother say that since King Chu You succeeded to the throne, my master has never been to Linjiang. Master thinks that the magnates in the Chu palace do not believe in Taoism and nature, and believe in power and wealth, and do not speculate, and have no intention of staying. Therefore, my master should not have seen the current King of Chu, nor has he seen King Chu Hui, King Chu Yu, and King Chu Mu. ”

Liu Jing saw that the kid knew everything about his problems, and the doubts in his heart dispersed. It seems that this Xuan Xuan Dao Master is really just a master outside the world, and he was not sent by anyone to bewitch King Song, but has other plans.

Before leaving, Liu Jing finally asked, "Little Sir, in your opinion, what can the widow do to offend and offend your master?" If the widow comes to visit his old man later, will he still be willing to see the widow? ”

Xue Fan stood in the snow, waved at him, and then turned around and went back to the thatched house.

He remembered not abandoning the words at the end of his brother's manuscript: "In the course of intercourse with people, the best policy lies in knowing without saying anything, and the best strategy lies in arousing their curiosity and asking questions." If you are curious, you will have more exchanges, if you ask, you will talk about more than you, and if you talk about more information, you will have endless exchanges. ”

Xue Fan sat by the brazier and rubbed his little hands, looked up at Liu Ying, who was already standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Don't abandon my brother, I really didn't expect that you still have this ability!" What that fool King Song asked me today, you guessed everything! I just told him what you had written, and he listened with great interest, and he didn't want to go a single step! ”

……

When King Song returned to the White Jade Palace, he wanted to go back to the Bumeng Pavilion to rest, but when he learned that a Song army general was guarding outside the Ningguo Palace, he had to divert to the Ningguo Palace.

The general led the wind and dust, and it was obvious that he rode his horse to the jade capital day and night. Seeing this, Liu Jing exempted him from saluting.

The general said eagerly: "Your Highness, there is an urgent report in the army!" There is a plague in the Yide military camp! The plague is fierce, and hundreds of soldiers in the army have been infected with the plague! The last general has not been to the Yide military camp, nor has he been in contact with people infected with the plague, so he should not pass the plague on His Highness. But the last general heard that the Yide military camp was short of medicine stones, and the military physicians had not treated the epidemic, and when the last general set off, ten of the more than 100 soldiers who were infected with the epidemic had died, so 100 people should have died today! ”

Liu Jing was stunned for a moment. "Does the general know where the plague is coming from? Could it be that the Chu people brought it? ”

The general said: "The military physician said that this plague was probably not brought by the Chu people, and according to the report, there were also soldiers in the Chu army who were infected with the epidemic, but I don't know how the Chu army treated it, and I don't know how many Chu soldiers died of illness."

Does Your Highness remember the incident when the Zhiluo River next to the Jade River burst at the end of last summer? After the flood, there was a small village on the bank of the Luojiang River, and the whole village was infected with the epidemic, and it seemed that no one left the village alive. ”

"Naturally remember. Last year, the widow sent the imperial doctor to the white goose village on the bank of the Luojiang River, but when the imperial doctor arrived, the white goose village had become a mass grave. The imperial doctor replied that it was caused by a ferocious plague after the flood, and although the White Goose Village was tragic, it was also meritorious. At that time, the imperial physician concluded that the plague had disappeared in the White Goose Village and would not ravage the Song Kingdom. ”

The general said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's too late to trace back to the source, regardless of whether the plague in the Yide army is related to the plague in White Goose Village last year, the plague in the army has reached the point where it is difficult to control!" The only good news in recent days is that the Chu army has also been infected with the epidemic. ”

Liu Jing didn't have time to think: "The widow and the quick doctor will go to Yide with you." Don't worry about the Chu people anymore, epidemic control is the top priority! It doesn't matter if the Song army can't hold the city, what if it's all given to the Chu State? Soldiers and ordinary people, they can't die in vain by natural disasters! If the plague spreads wantonly, it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe in Kyushu! ”
