Chapter Ninety-Seven: What Medicine Is Sold in the Gourd?
"Interesting." King Lanling took a sip of the teacup and couldn't help but chuckle.
"What is King Lanling's answer?" The envoy raised his head and looked into the eyes of King Lanling.
When the two pairs of eyes looked at each other, the complex color emanating from their eyes.
King Lanling felt that the messenger in front of him did not seem to be as simple as he imagined. With his understanding of Lord Yan, he would not be so ambitious.
"Is there a handwritten oracle from King Yan?" King Lanling smiled suspiciously and asked.
"Please take a look at King Lanling." As he spoke, the messenger offered the oracle. He had a well-chested smile on his face, which made people think deeply.
King Lanling took the edict and took a closer look. This is indeed the handwritten edict of King Yan!
"It's getting late, the road is long, how about the envoy rest in our country tonight?" King Lanling hooked his lips and smiled, blurting out.
"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, my lord is waiting for me to go back to my life......" The envoy frowned slightly, and said in a hesitant manner.
King Lanling observed the change in the expression on his face, and laughed heartily: "This king also has to think carefully, after all, this matter cannot be neglected in the slightest. β
Hearing what he said, the envoy felt that it was very reasonable, but he was a little hesitant.
"This king will order someone to rush to Yan Kingdom to bring a letter." In order to relieve his worries, King Lanling said calmly.
"Thank you, King Lanling. Please think carefully about what I just said. The messenger stood up and bowed, emphasizing the last sentence in a heavy tone.
When night fell, Mo Xuanyin returned to the camp and sat down directly to rest.
These days, he really can't figure out why these residents are secretly digging rivers behind his backs?
"Your Highness, can I come in?" The guard stood in front of the tent and pondered for a moment before speaking.
Mo Xuanyin put his slender fingers on his temples and rubbed them over and over again.
"Why are you so flustered?" Mo Xuanyin narrowed his eyes, and his deep eyes fell on the curtain.
The guard lifted the curtain and walked straight inside.
"The subordinates have just interrogated, and those residents really just want to dig down the water source......" Before the guard finished speaking, he saw that Mo Xuanyin's face was a little gloomy.
Mo Xuanyin got up slowly and let out a long sigh of relief, "Okay, you don't care about this matter." Now you lead a team to the front to scout. β
"Yes." When the guard had answered, he turned and went with a team.
Then, Mo Xuanyin walked to the curtain of the camp tent and lifted the curtain. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind rolled up the sand and hit Mo Xuanyin.
"Look at it like this, it won't rain anymore. Perhaps, there is only such a way out. Mo Xuanyin lowered the curtain and returned to the chair to sit.
β¦β¦
"Head, there's a voice over there."
"I heard that, too."
A few soldiers cautiously approached the guards and whispered.
"Don't make a sound, squat down for me." The guards organized cautiously, and then a few men hid against the grass. "Drive, drive...... ......Suddenly, a man in low-key clothes drove by.
When he arrived at an inconspicuous house, he tied his horse to a tree and sneaked his way into the house.
"There must be some secret behind it. A few of you are guarding the wind here, and I'll go over and find out. The guard crept over to the room.
"You immediately rush to Yan Kingdom to say hello to King Yan now, and say that the envoy of Yan Kingdom who took the past today will rest in Lanling Kingdom for a night." As soon as the man entered, he spoke to another man wearing a mask.
The man wearing the mask wondered: "What is the purpose of this time, actually King Lau Lanling personally left him?" β
"Yan wants to ally with Lanling and ask for a share of the land of Nanyue. You say, if I were the king of Lanling, I would have to think about how to make a profit. The man sneered, then hurried away.
The guards took in their remarks and hurried back to their tents.
"His Royal Highness, his subordinates have urgent matters to repay." The guards hurriedly walked in.
Mo Xuanyin hates others yelling and waking him up when he is resting.
He opened his deep eyes and glanced at the guard with some impatience. Since it was an urgent matter, he adjusted his state and said in a low voice: "Say." β
"There is a mysterious man sneaking around, and his subordinates are following him and overhearing a conversation between him and another man." The guard bowed his head and took a few steps forward.
Mo Xuanyin raised his head suddenly, motioning for him to continue.
"They are the envoys of the Lanling Kingdom. The subordinates heard them say that the Yan State had sent an envoy to the alliance with the King of Lanling, and asked for a share of the land of the Nanyue Kingdom. The guard said without rambling.
Hearing his words, Mo Xuanyin's eyes lingered with a complicated color.
"Did King Lanling agree?" Mo Xuanyin took a breath and squinted his eyes at the guard. "I heard from them that the envoy of King Lanling was left behind in order to think carefully before making a decision." The guard said as he reminisced.
Looking at it like this, according to the character of King Lanling, I'm afraid the final answer is to agree to this matter.
Who wouldn't want that kind of perk? Is he just deliberately stalling for time? Mo Xuanyin couldn't figure this out.
"Listen, don't spread the word about it without my command." Mo Xuanyin sneered and said slowly.
"Your Highness......" The guard was about to say something, but was interrupted.
"Don't you think that South Vietnam has been at ease for a long time? Stick to the status quo? Suddenly, Mo Xuanyin hooked his lips and smiled, "It's time for them to feel a sense of crisis, and it's not a bad thing." β
It turned out that he did not intend to tell the king of South Vietnam, and no one could guess his own plans.
"Subordinates obey." The guard didn't dare to say anything more, and stepped back.
Yunnan Country:
"Ahem...... cough ...... "The weather has been changeable these days, coupled with the busy government and politics, the king of Yunnan unfortunately contracted the wind cold and was bedridden.
"Lord Wang, drink some medicine quickly." The princess was anxious, and carefully scooped the potion to feed the king of Yunnan.
In the past few days, many imperial doctors have also been invited to see the king of Yunnan. Fortunately, the king of Yunnan is not irritable, otherwise these quacks would have been questioned a long time ago.
"Say, what medicine can cure the prince?" Finally, the princess couldn't bear it anymore, and she didn't have much hope in the face of the last imperial doctor.
"Lord, the princess forgives her sins. Chen Dou dared to say a word, this heart disease still has to be treated with heart medicine...... "The imperial doctor was so supportive that he didn't even dare to speak too loudly."
"Come on, don't blame them." The prince said intermittently, "You all stand down." β
Then the imperial physicians bowed gratefully and hurried away. "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and decoct the medicine?" Subsequently, the princess vented to her maid again.
The king of Yunnan's face was a little pale, and his eyes showed tiredness, "Where is Yin'er!" β
Mo Xuanyin can be said to be one of the most valued sons of the king of Yunnan. As for the heart disease of the king of Yunnan mentioned by the imperial doctor, it is not difficult for a discerning person to see that he is waiting for Mo Xuanyin to come back.
"Mo Xuanyin didn't take the words of this king as the wind in his ears, and the palace didn't want to go back, right?" The king of Yunnan sighed, looking helpless and angry.
"Don't worry, the concubines will let them spread the word again, they must know Yin'er's whereabouts." Then the princess asked Mo Xuanyin's other personal guard to pass the word.
β¦β¦
Mo Xuanyin was wandering beside the newly excavated river.
Thanks to the hard work of the team led by Mo Xuanyin in the past few days, more water has been exchanged.
Now the residents are also satisfied, and regard them as lifesavers.
"We poor people don't have anything valuable, but we have plenty to eat."
"If His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't dislike it, please accept it."
The residents enthusiastically took things and presented them to Mo Xuanyin.
"There's only enough water here for a few days, and I'll help you fix the root cause. That's what I'm supposed to do, you don't have to. Mo Xuanyin sighed and politely refused.
"Your Highnessβ" The guards hurried over and whispered in Mo Xuanyin's ear.
Then Mo Xuanyin hurried to the camp tent.
"Your Royal Highness, the prince has been bedridden with a cold for the past few days." The personal guard said as he presented the letter from the king of Yunnan.
Mo Xuanyin took the letter and opened it to take a look, looking at the contents inside, he couldn't help but smile.
"Father is just caught the cold?" Mo Xuanyinyun closed the letter lightly.
"Yes." The personal guard didn't know what the smile on his face meant, so he had to answer truthfully.
"Thanks to you, otherwise I would have let my father cheat again." Obviously, the content of the letter was different from what the personal guard said, and Mo Xuanyin expected that it must be the king of Yunnan who lied again.
The personal guard was a little stunned, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse for him to say a few more words.
"Go back and tell your father, and I'll be back in a few days. Remember, don't tell him where I am. Mo Xuanyin patted the personal guard's shoulder.
"Yes." The personal guards were just about to leave.
Mo Xuanyin said again: "Slow, remember to go to my mansion and invite Mr. Yin out, he will definitely be able to cure my father's illness." β
Not long after the personal guard left, Mo Xuanyin received another message from the flying pigeon.
"Shizi, what happened?" The guard saw that his face was a little complicated after reading the letter, so he spoke. "Gu Xiqian actually tried every means to sneak into the palace to attend the emperor's banquet." For a long time, Mo Xuanyin said worriedly and angrily.
The guard naturally knew his thoughts, "If there is no Liuyun girl here, the county lord will definitely be fine." β
"Mouthy." Mo Xuanyin looked at the guard's eyes, a little more comforted. No, a few days ago, the little couple almost broke up over that incident, both sides were stubborn, and no one took the initiative to contact anyone, which would make Mo Xuanyin almost worried to death.
"Your Highness, Miss Liuyun also said that the county lord is safe now." The guard stole a glance at the letter and quipped.
Unexpectedly, Mo Xuanyin quickly put the letter away, showing a proud look, "You still don't care about the affairs of this world." β
