Chapter 31 Entering the Wild Goose City
The time to arrive at the gate of Dasheng Guanding Yancheng is about the same as we estimated, and if you enter the city smoothly, you may be able to have lunch in the city.
Then, we were mercilessly stopped at the city gates.
With a haggard face that is in the epidemic area every day and the suspicion of seeing four people surrounded by thick veils, the soldiers defending the city rushed to the people without mercy: "Do you know what the situation is in the city now, go into the city to find death?" β
I took out the customs clearance documents given by Lin Yi: "Look, Master Jun, can you enter the city with this?" β
The soldiers defending the city were fortunate not to be illiterate. He was shocked to see Lin Yi's signature and seal, and after reading the content of the document, when he looked up at us, it had changed to the look of seeing the savior.
The city guards beside him came over to take a closer look, and then the two of them whispered again, I was worried that something would happen, but I didn't expect to be politely invited into the city next.
But everything went weird after entering the city.
Dingyan City was panicked by the "plague", and there were sparse people everywhere, only the officials of the county government were still distributing supplies everywhere in the city, and occasionally the soldiers of the Gu family army who helped patrol the city lined up. The faces of the people were full of sorrow, and many people hung white cloths in the mourning hall, crying endlessly.
"I know the situation in the city is serious, but why do you have to go into a city like a thief?" Sun Zhongjing was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the leading soldiers taking us around and around and picking a secluded path to drill: "Do you pick an open road and get sick, or will you hit a tartar?" β
The soldier looked at us apologetically: "Forgive me, you are really in the city...... The situation is exceptional. β
"Don't, the divine doctor can't afford it, it's just a traveling doctor." Although Sun Zhongjing's face was dissatisfied, he didn't dwell on this matter anymore.
The Gu family's barracks stationed in Dingyan City obviously did not have such a huge momentum in the rear army, and it was thought that it was because of the heavy combat tasks that needed to be undertaken and the large number of sick soldiers. But the order is still in order, but a little more urgent, as soon as I step into the barracks gate, I feel that I am indeed on the front line of the battlefield.
Our horses were taken away by the soldiers at the city gate as early as the city gate, and it hurt enough to choke on the way. The leading soldier carried the paperwork into the main tent of the Chinese army, and the four of us waited outside, and countless curious or vigilant eyes came over, which made people feel like a man's back.
"Invite them in."
There was a faint voice in the main tent, and I wondered in my heart, the owner of this voice ...... It's not over the voice change period yet.
When we were led into the tent by the leading soldiers, this doubt was infinitely magnifiedβsitting on the main seat was a young man with sharp eyebrows.
Although Lin Yi, who is the commander of the rear army, is not very old, and I have heard Sun Shujing say that there are indeed many generals in the Gu family's army who can fight at a young age, but the young man sitting in the handsome position in front of him is only fifteen or sixteen years old, which is also outrageous.
I looked at Ah Chu, Xin Yi, and Sun Zhongjing, but the young man had already stood up and respectfully saluted us:
"I've seen all the divine doctors, now that the situation in Dingyan City is critical, the divine doctors have worked tirelessly to solve problems for the Gu family, please accept Gu Shan's courtesy."
Although he is young, the etiquette is comprehensive, and he does not see the mud and water, which is indeed the bearing of the son of the general. But a person sitting in the coach's seat was so low, and there were a number of generals in the tent watching, so it inevitably hurt his majesty.
The young man ordered someone to set up a seat for us, and his attitude was still respectful: "General Lin Yi said in the official document that all the divine doctors have found a prescription for the plague, I don't know what this prescription is?" β
The title of "Divine Doctor" was probably what the young man named Gu Shan thought of himself, but after all, it still made people blush. I noticed that although the young man looked old and serious, his right hand on the table was unconsciously clenched into a fist, which should be eager and nervous, and I guessed a few points in my heart.
I smiled lightly and said, "How old is the little general?" β
He subconsciously replied, "Fifteen." β
"Offended to ask, what is the relationship between the British Gong Gu Ye and the little general?"
He was a little stunned, with a little resistance in his eyes, and finally replied honestly: "It's my father." β
All four of us sank in our hearts.
I sorted out my thoughts for a moment, took out the sorted out prescription and medicine list and handed it to Gu Shan's attendant, asking him to present it to the other generals, and still replied with a smile: "I know." β
"Our three doctors have written down all our opinions and prescriptions, please take a look at the generals, and besides"
I took a deep breath and said, "Dare to show me, do the generals you haven't seen today need our help?" β
The faces of the people who had circulated the prescription were already extremely difficult to see, Gu Shan called the attendant beside him and said something, and the attendant left in response.
Standing beside Gu Shan was a general who was about twenty-four or five years old, and he asked in a deep voice, "Dare to ask the conclusion of the divine doctor, is there any basis?" β
"First of all, the miracle doctor doesn't have to be called. My surname is Shen, and my name is Shen Bingran. This girl in an ivory shirt is named Gu Xinyi, and this son's name is Sun Zhongjing, if the general doesn't dislike it, just call us Doctor Shen, Doctor Gu, and Doctor Sun. In addition, the girl in the red shirt is called Chen Anchu, she is proficient in martial arts, although she is not enough to go to the battlefield, but if there is a quarrel and provoke trouble, she can still help. β
"Secondly, the general asked me what my basis was. We are not sure, but I do have three proofs: first, plagues are more common in the alternation of spring and winter, when it is already summer, and it is rare for plagues to occur; Second, although there are countless casualties on the battlefield, rusty weapons, and rotting corpses, all of which are very susceptible to infection, the symptoms are not correct; Thirdly, "
I paused, and then said: "The three passes in the north of the town are not far apart, and the merchants and people in the three passes have contacts and have more circulating water sources, but although the people in Feixia Pass are panicked, there is no case of disease after several investigations, is it really the blessing of the gods, but it has skimmed the two passes of Dasheng and Dayu?" β
"The doctor has a point." A warm voice entered the tent, and a man in civilian clothes walked into the tent.
In all fairness, Chen Yi is the best-looking man I have ever seen before and after the crossing, and the appearance of this civil official is not inferior to him, but the temperament of the two is completely different: one is handsome and extraordinary, and the other is personable; One is resolute and calm like a pine like a cypress, and the other is handsome and comfortable like a bamboo like a chrysanthemum; An eyebrow is like a scorching wind; A figure whose posture is like a bright moon, is a figure that makes people want to look at it more when they see it.
But the situation at this moment does not allow me or the women present to be, I don't know his identity and it is not easy to salute, and the general who does not know the name next to him reminds us very kindly:
"This is Ye Ziqi, a messenger from the capital, Lord Ye."
He smiled politely at us and bowed his hand: "I've seen a few doctors, I've seen generals. β
Another soldier wanted to move his seat up, he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to, and said to us: "The evidence that the female doctor said just now is quite confident and reasonable, but it is far-fetched to explain whether the plague in Dingyan City was poisoned by someone. β
I nodded and said, "What Ye Qincha said makes sense, so I still want to check the patient in person before verifying whether the conclusion is correct." β
Ye Ziqi said: "The four of you are willing to help, Ye will give full support, and the doctors in the treasury can use the medicinal materials by themselves, and if you have any requirements, just say it." β
Seeing this, the general who had questioned before said: "In this case, if you want to disturb Ye Qin and discuss important matters on this trip, I will let the guard Tianqi beside me follow the doctors, and if you want to treat and consult in the city, he will lead the way and escort you." Then he ordered his men to prepare food for us and tidy up our lodgings.
Xin Yi suddenly opened his mouth: "Dare to ask how the general is called?" β
The general was a little caught off guard: "Under the Gu family's army Lin Qian, may I ask Doctor Gu what's the matter?" β
Xin Yi, who was covered with a veil, couldn't see any expression, and she said lightly: "General Lin is busy with military affairs, we are embarrassed to use your subordinates as bodyguards, please ask your subordinates to tell us the location of the city treasury and several locations where sick people and soldiers are placed, so that you don't need to lead the way. β
At this time, in addition to the generals and Ye Ziqi, an "outsider" in the tent, Xin Yi refuted Lin Qian's kindness in public, even we didn't think of it, and we didn't understand what Xin Yi meant, and I was worried that Lin Qian would lose face and embarrass us.
Although Lin Qian showed an unbelievably embarrassed look on his face, his demeanor was still good, and he just smiled: "Doctor Gu is thoughtful for Lin Qian, if the doctor has any concerns, just do what you want." β
Xin Yi replied: "It's nothing thoughtful or inconsiderate, it's just that I'm not used to following outsiders all the time." β
The smile on Lin Qian's face was even more embarrassing: "Understand, understand." β
