Chapter 035: The Dead Ministers of the Royal City
The patient outside returned to the house all of a sudden, Ye Tao was curious, so he and Ye Lao came out to take a look, and saw that the soldiers on the street were like a small honeycomb, surrounded by a carriage parked in front of Zhao Yi, this formation seemed to be only available in Wangcheng.
"Miss Zhao, what's going on?" Ye Tao's voice was calm, Zhao Yi turned around and saw that it was Ye Tao and Ye Lao walking together.
Zhao Yi responded: "This gentleman wants to see Ye Shaoxia, what a coincidence, Ye Shaoxia is coming out!"
Ye Tao and Ye Lao looked at the people in front of them when they heard this. When the man heard that the slender and extraordinary young man in front of him was the person he was looking for, he burst into tears inexplicably, and stepped forward and said, "Old man Li Ye, come to visit Ye Shaoxia." ”
"General Lee!"
Ye Lao's face was terrified when he heard this name, and he raised his hand to ask for guilt, "The grass people are clumsy, and they can't recognize the general for a while, so I ask the general to forgive me." ”
Ye Tao and Zhao Yi glanced at each other, and they were also a lot surprised, but the position of the two of them did not need to salute Li Ye.
Ye Lao said that he was about to kneel, Li Ye hurriedly helped the person up, and said with Yue: "The Xicheng plague can be eliminated this time thanks to Ye Lao, and Jishitang has made a great contribution!"
Zhao Yi always felt strange when he heard it, the plague? This royal city is too airtight, and he still doesn't know if this is not a plague, or if Ye Tao and Ye Lao have not mentioned this matter to the outside world.
Li Ye said, looked at Ye Tao, and said: "A few days ago, when the young man arrived in Yongle City, the old man heard a little, but the plague in the city is really bizarre, and many doctors in the royal city are helpless, and the old man is also... Alas!"
Li Ye wanted to speak and stopped, sighing ashamedly, Ye Tao knew that Li Ye didn't believe that their brothers could cure this bizarre "plague".
Li Ye sighed, raised his hand and said, "I neglected Shaoxia, please forgive Shaoxia." ”
Ye Tao smiled slightly, raised his hand and bowed slightly, returned the salute, and said: "General Li is serious, I dare not be ashamed, General Li came this time for the city lord's illness?"
"Shaoxia is smart, indeed, the city lord was also infected with the plague after most of the people in Xicheng suffered misfortune, and the royal city has closed the city gate for dozens of days, and he also bothered Ye Shaoxia and Ye Lao to go to the royal city to eliminate the epidemic for the city lord. ”
Li Ye spoke sincerely, he was a senior and a city general, put down his body to ask for help, Ye Tao naturally would not sit idly by, Ye Lao was also a person in the city, and he was naturally willing to save the city lord, so the two agreed.
Ye Tao said: "Please rest assured, the old man in Xia and Ye will do his best to heal the city lord." ”
Li Ye nodded with satisfaction, and pointed to the carriage lane surrounded by soldiers behind him: "Young man, the old man has ordered someone to prepare the carriage, please let the young man and the old man go to the royal city with the old man." ”
Ye Tao looked at it, his eyes moved, even if he was a guest, he was a junior after all, Li Ye was not in good spirits today, and he was less tired in the carriage.
Seeing Li Ye's green horse wagging its tail leisurely, Ye Tao was overjoyed and said, "I wonder if the general is willing to borrow his foal for the next ride?"
Li Ye was speechless when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Ye Shaoxia, this is not appropriate, you are a distinguished guest, how can there be any reason for you to ride a horse?"
Ye Tao glanced at the rare clear sky, and said with a smile: "Today's sky is clear, it is a whim, and I hope that the general will be fulfilled." ”
Li Ye choked again, hesitating, everyone with a discerning eye knew that Li Ye was unwell, and Ye Lao also supported Ye Tao at this time, and persuaded Li Ye: "General, since Brother Ye likes the general's treasure horse, the general might as well borrow it, and it will be an hour's journey." ”
Saying this, it was like he didn't want to borrow it, Li Ye immediately smiled and said, "Then it's hard Ye Shaoxia?"
Ye Tao bowed his head, and Li Ye and Ye Lao approached the carriage accompanied by the soldiers.
Zhao Yi seemed to be looking at Ye Tao on the side, but he was not staring at others, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, his eyes were soft and light, and he seemed to like Ye Tao's character more and more.
"Miss Zhao, the inn is still a matter for you!" Ye Tao looked at Zhao Yidao.
Zhao Yi nodded, Ye Tao walked towards the green horse, and jumped on the horse with his feet in the stirrups.
Seeing that Ye Lao and Li Ye had already gotten into the carriage, Zhao Yi paced to the side of the green horse and whispered to Ye Tao: "Ye Shaoxia, don't say that I am too talkative, this person's popularity is extremely weak, most of it is a long-term evil disease, I am afraid that time is running out."
Zhao Yi glanced at the carriage, Ye Tao's brain was buzzing when he heard this, and he immediately looked at Zhao Yi, his eyes were like torches, so frightened that Zhao Yi gasped, don't look over his head and didn't dare to look at him, and subconsciously slapped himself lightly, "Call you troublesome!"
Seeing Zhao Yi's frightened deer appearance, Ye Tao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, bent over and said with a warm smile: "Do I mean to blame Miss Zhao?"
When Zhao Yi heard this, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he turned around and said mischievously: "No!"
Ye Tao put away his smile, sat up straight, and said, "I remember Miss Zhao's reminder, don't worry, General Li Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine." ”
Ye Tao's words were like a needle in the sea, Zhao Yi's heart quieted down, and she knew that he would have a way to save Li Ye.
————
A few days ago, the royal city was closed, and Ye Tao had never come, but now that he came, he really felt a little emotional, every corner of Yongle City was showing its prosperity, and the royal city was even more so.
Enter the bronze city gate, a smooth road in front of you, there are two three-storey high-rise buildings at the end of the road, red beams and tiles, Li Ye leads the way up the middle stairs, the stairs are very empty, the ground is paved with boxy stone slabs, go inside and step again, the stairs are the splendid Zichen Palace, glazed tiles, pink walls, red lacquer columns, dragon pattern carved columns.
However, Li Ye took them to the left and went directly to the dormitory of the city lord Huangfuhe.
Walking into the backyard, the most pleasing thing to see is the pool of clear water, where koi fish play in the water, surrounded by a corridor of carved beams and painted columns.
After detouring from the corridor to the pond, it is the Longyan Palace, the dormitory of Huangfu He, and the two guards respectfully called "General" and opened the door of the palace.
In the huge hall, the thirty-six-year-old Huangfu and a gray brocade robe, wearing a dark gray leopard fur fur, wearing a large-brimmed hat, sat boredly on the desk, looking at the chessboard on the table, very distressed, there were seats on the left and right in front of him, and tea and snacks were prepared.
Li Ye stepped forward and bowed: "City Lord, Ye Shaoxia and Ye Lao are invited."
Huangfu and Wenyan raised their heads, and their distress turned into joy in an instant, and they hurriedly got up to greet them.
"It's been a long time, please sit down with the two distinguished guests!
When everyone sat down, Huangfu and a smile on his face, quietly looked at the two of them, a few days ago I heard that Ye Lao was crazy, now he is in good spirits, and the stubble has also been shaved, and the previous words should be rumors.
Looking at Ye Tao's clean face and calm demeanor, I thought it was the son of a prince and nobleman who had read poetry and books.
Huangfu He said with a smile: "Ye Lao is a respected doctor in the city, saving the dead and helping the wounded, and the people praise Ye Lao's wonderful hand rejuvenation, this time it is thanks to Ye Lao for the city to solve problems,"
Ye Lao was flattered when he heard this, and got up and said: "Since the grass people are the people of Yongle City, they can't see their compatriots suffering, not to mention that it is the honor of the grass people to be able to relieve the worries of the city lord!"
The words were pleasant to the emperor, and he clapped his hands and said: "Well said! Ye Lao is worthy of being a citizen of my Yongle City, please take a seat!"
Ye Lao sat down according to the voice, Huangfu and saw that Ye Tao was holding a teacup but did not drink, his eyes were calm, so that people could not see through his heart, Huangfu and his heart doubted whether Ye Tao was unhappy, and asked: "Seeing that Ye Shaoxia has an extraordinary bearing, and is so handy in the face of the epidemic, I don't know what school Ye Shaoxia inherits?
He didn't know that Ye Tao was just not good at showing his inner thoughts on his face, and when he heard the emperor's question, Ye Tao's expression became gentler.
"In the Lower Five Peaks Trail, the family teacher is Zuo Ji Elder Ziyun. ”
"It turned out to be Elder Ziyun's high apprentice, no wonder this city felt refreshed when he saw the young man. Huangfu He opened his arms, so happy.
Li Ye smiled and said, "The old man also thinks that Ye Shaoxia feels very kind. ”
Huangfu and Gengle said: "I heard that the Wuzhi Immortal Realm is in the north of Liuyun City, but I haven't been able to see its true face, but now I can be regarded as witnessing the Wuzhi Immortal, and the three lives are lucky!"
Ye Tao smiled but couldn't smile, Huangfu He's words were perfunctory, this person didn't seem to be as good as the people said.
Ye Tao said: "The city lord is in love"
Huangfu and Wenyan said: "Hey, Wuzhi protects the people of the world, and the elders love the people like sons, Danzhou is so peaceful, it is also because of Wuzhi!"
"No matter how much Wuzhi loves the people, it is just a blessing from the distant water, and it is the city lord who can really protect them from the suffering of displacement, and live and work in peace and contentment. Ye Tao said and observed Huang Fuhe's expression attentively, and saw that his face was covered with sadness.
"That's right, this time, the city is sympathetic to the people, and went to Xicheng, I don't want this body to be unsuccessful, but I also contracted the epidemic, so I can only stay in the royal city and don't go out, and I bother the two of you to come to the royal city to show the city!"
A smile rose at the corner of Ye Tao's mouth, disappeared in a moment, got up and said: "In the next place, show the city lord first, if you can't see any clues, then bother to invite the wild seniors." ”
Ye Lao looked at Ye Tao, and Ye Tao made a look to reassure him.
Huangfu said: "Okay! ”
Looking at Ye Tao's calm and unjoyed expression, Huangfu He was at a loss in his heart, and asked anxiously: "Shaoxia, what's wrong?"
Ye Tao let go of his hand and said, "The city lord is in good health, he just needs to take medicine to detoxify, and then give the city lord a breath." ”
Ye Tao said and took the medicine bottle and handed it to Huang Fuhe, looking at the delicate green jade porcelain bottle, Huang Fuhe nodded, and said, "Then there will be Lao Ye Shaoxia!"
After saying that, Huangfu He poured out the pill and ate it, Ye Tao saw that he did not hesitate at all, and immediately cast a spell to instill a lot of true qi into Huangfu He.
The true qi launched by Ye Tao's palm can be seen as lilac to the naked eye, but when it enters the emperor and his body, it is white lingering, and when this white gradually turns purple, Ye Tao withdrew his hand.
Huangfu He twisted his neck, and Ye Tao said, "The city lord can get up and move around to see if his body is better?"
Huangfu and obediently stood up and moved his arms and limbs, happiness appeared on his face, he didn't feel so comfortable for a long time!
"It's really wonderful, Ye Shaoxia has worked hard!" Huangfu and Hequando.
Ye Tao responded: "The city lord is polite" Saying that, Ye Tao walked towards Li Ye and said bluntly: "General Li worked tirelessly to go to Xicheng to pick up the old man in Xia and Ye, and now that the city lord has recovered, I want to show the general the pulse." ”
Hearing this, Huangfu was as surprised as Li Ye. Li Ye said in a panic: "The young man works hard for the people of Xicheng, and heals the poison for the city lord, he must be very tired, the old man's body is not tight, the young man will rest for a while!"
"General Li is polite, and it will be fine in the next meeting."
Huangfu frowned and said, "Ye Shaoxia is kind, Li Qing don't refuse"
Li Ye looked at Huangfu He in embarrassment, and said, "Then there is Lao Ye Shaoxia!"
After saying that, Li Ye pulled the cuffs, exposed his wrist, and after checking the pulse, Ye Tao felt bad in his heart, looked at Li Ye's forehead, and fell into silence.
Li Ye was worried when he saw that Ye Tao didn't speak, and after a while, Ye Tao asked, "Has General Li been injured in the middle of the battle?"
Li Ye looked at Huangfuhe when he heard this, and Huangfuhe was also shocked, it was more than ten years ago, he knew everything.
Li Ye said: "There is indeed such a thing, but it has been more than ten years, and I was very young at that time,"
Ye Tao nodded, as if he understood something, and said: "General Li, I have spoken bluntly, if you are offended, please Haihan,"
"Young man, but it doesn't hurt to say it"
"The wound was a little deep, and if it was not treated properly, the root of the general's illness also fell, and every time the weather was cloudy and sunny, there would be some pain, and the general's childlessness under his knees was also related to this injury. ”
Li Ye's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, really, how, let him know?
Ye Lao was drinking tea leisurely, and he was a little shocked when he heard Ye Tao say this.
Huangfu and guilt, this Ye Tao said that he remembered the past again, he was afraid that Li Ye would rob him of his position, but now he found out that he deceived people too much and mistook his loyal ministers.
"It's the city that can't live with Li Qing, you shouldn't have harmed Li Qing back then, Ye Shaoxia can have a way to save Li Qing,"
Huangfu He's words are true, Ye Tao's goal has been achieved, seeing that Li Ye and Huang Fuhe are looking at him, Ye Tao don't turn his head to look at Ye Lao, and said: "There is no way to do it, but Ye Lao has it!"
Ye Lao: "......"
This kid finally made a joke with him before he went back.
————
Huangfu and Li Ye sent people to the city gate, and asked the attendants to send the two back to Mingyue Tower.
In the carriage, Ye Lao held back the doubts in his heart, and after some entanglement, he asked: "I said Brother Ye, what happened more than ten years ago, how did you diagnose the pulse?"
Ye Taole said: "The younger generation cultivates the law in Wuzhi and does not practice medicine, but he just knows some tricks that peep into the heart! General Li is very afraid of the city lord in his heart, and he also has some hatred. ”
Ye Lao seems to understand whether he understands or not, in the war in Yongle City more than ten years ago, he was just a weak student, although he wanted to go into battle, he didn't have the ability.
"General Li and the city lord are good brothers who fight side by side, and the reason why Yongle City is divided between east and west, north and south is also because the city lord promised that half of his Huangfu clan's heaven and earth belonged to the Li family. ”
"But it doesn't seem to be the case now" Ye Tao said in his words, which caught Ye Lao off guard. I have to admit that Huangfu and have changed.
"After Yongle City became stronger, this city lord seems to have changed a person, and he no longer has the humility he had when he fought back then, and the current city lord should have put himself first in his heart!"
Ye Tao also guessed in his heart that this was the case, and his emotions did not fluctuate much.
"The younger generation only hopes that the city lord and the general will be brothers regardless of their past suspicions. ”
Ye Lao also nodded in agreement.
