Chapter 67 The Rich and Noble Kingdom
The hall was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and a group of healers knelt on the ground, taking the pulse of the person on the bed for the first time, and replied to Bai Yuxuan who was standing aside.
"The eldest prince, the king's illness has penetrated into the bones, and although he has been conditioned, he cannot be cured. There is only one last breath left, and I'm afraid it's ...... Time is running out. ”
"How many days are left?"
"Up to ...... Three days. ”
"Ten days."
The healer was puzzled.
"I don't care what medicine you use, I want him to live another ten days."
"This ...... If the drug is used too violently, it is a great load on the royal body, and it is more painful than death if it suffers from both physical and mental torment. At the moment, although the medicine stone was ineffective, it ended up returning briskly. If you live ten days......"
The healer raised his eyes slightly, and saw that Bai Yuxuan's eyes were staring at him sharply, so he didn't dare to say any more, so he closed his mouth and retreated.
Lian is the richest country among the hundred countries, and the reason for this is that the feng shui here is very good.
Decades ago, Lian was a small country in the hundred countries, a place of Chinese people in the suburbs to find feng shui treasure burial ancestors when hoeing a gold jade, the streamer is shining, very eye-catching, and then digging, found that the underground was originally a mine of gold and jade, this person suddenly got a huge treasure, crazy under the great joy, alarmed the whole city, and then the whole country was shocked.
King Lian moved the capital here, thinking that the country was owned, taking local materials, bartering gold and jade, and over time, it became more and more prosperous. In just ten years, Lian Guo became the richest man in a hundred countries, and borrowed and collected profits when countries were short of money, so all countries were friendly with him and did not want to offend.
The national oath of the Lian State said that the Lian State was very sympathetic to the matter of the son's attack on the hundred tribes, but the manpower in the country was sparse and it was not easy to go abroad. If necessary, he is willing to buy soldiers from other countries at a high price to replenish them. It's just that nearly a year has passed, and I haven't seen anything about it, so I don't know if it's a repentance or a polite remark.
When I arrived in Lianguo, I realized that the country built up of gold and jade is really a rich country, and I don't say much about ordinary things, just look at the current cold winter, all the clothes and fur outside, and the brazier burning inside, and there is no suffering from the cold and cold, only this one, you can know where the Lian country is rich.
Zi Xiben didn't want to provoke this rich country, but recently, Lian Guo's reward was lacking, and he hadn't handed over the national oath for a long time, which inevitably made people speculate, so he took this opportunity to come to visit.
Ning Zeqing and the others walked outside the Lian State Palace, and there were already a number of people waiting, led by the eldest prince Bai Yuxuan.
Qu Ming was worried, he and Bai Yuxuan had met when they were in Keli, although their friendship was very shallow, but Yu Ming often mentioned that this person was very intelligent, and he would remember his appearance. It's been a year since the last meeting, and now his appearance has changed slightly from before, and he is wearing men's clothes, so it is unknown whether he can be recognized.
Fortunately, Bai Yuxuan only talked to Ning Zeqing and did not look at others a few more times.
"General Ning came from afar, and he missed the distance. It's just that my father has been suffering from scabies for nearly half a year and can't meet him in person, so General Wangning Haihan explained one or two for my father in front of King Ming, and forgave him for his rudeness. ”
Ning Zeqing replied: "The eldest prince is serious, and since it is inconvenient, there is naturally no need to come forward. ”
Bai Yuxuan smiled again: "My father has entrusted me with the affairs of the country a few months ago, if there is something, just tell me." Please forgive me for the poor hospitality. ”
It turns out that Lian Guo is now Bai Yuxuan's final say, and it is no wonder that Yu Ming said that he is smart.
Qu Mingli looked at the group of men standing behind Bai Yuxuan, thinking that it was his brother, there were as many as six people when he counted them, one was cowardly and cowering, one was supported by a servant, coughing non-stop, thinking that there was a stubborn disease, one was blackened and yellow, and at first glance he was a person who was addicted to beauty, one was fat and big-eared, and there was a lot of oil and water, which made people feel distressed that there were too many clothes and materials, one person looked obscene, and never looked at people squarely, a son was like a folk thief, and he couldn't see anyone, and another person was still young, led by a nurse, Seeing this big scene, he went straight to the nurse's arms. There are seven brothers, who is higher and who is lower, it is not surprising that King Lian handed over state affairs to him.
Bai Yuxuan welcomed the group into the palace and walked to the middle hall, where everyone took off the outer sink, but they couldn't feel the cold of winter. When I looked into the hall, I couldn't find anything like a brazier for warmth, and I didn't know why for a while.
Bai Yuxuan waved to the maid, and the maid understood what he meant to retreat, and after a while, a maid with a good face and pink dress led the others into the hall.
I saw them come to the temple with baskets, kneel on the ground and beside the wall, take out a small iron hook, and pry open the ground and the wall. There was a large box underneath, full of carbon fires, flickering reddish, and a few had burned out and turned gray. The palace ladies exchanged the carbon in the basket with the carbon in the box with pliers, carefully covered it, and withdrew.
Only then did everyone know that the charcoal fire was burning in a place where no one could find it, so that people could not find a trace, and they felt that the procedure was cumbersome and laborious.
After Ning Zeqing sat down, he wanted to inform the intention of coming: "Eldest son, Ning came this time to ......"
Bai Yuxuan inadvertently interrupted his words, and said with a smile: "General Ning, don't come, this time I came to my country, I must have been tired. Now that it's time to eat, why don't you have a light meal first, have a good night's rest, and talk about anything tomorrow? ”
Without waiting for Ning Zeqing to answer, Bai Yuxuan called someone to serve the food.
Ning Zeqing couldn't refuse, so he could only be invited to the dinner table.
Although it is a light meal, the dish served is not a light dish. Needless to say, a cup of golden mash is drunk for one person, and Rao is boiled cabbage is also mixed with chicken soup, which looks like a table of expensive dishes.
The food is a good dish, but the people who eat together are really unappetizing. Ning Zeqing, Qu Mingli, and Ban Fei, Bai Yuxuan and his six brothers were at a table, and a finely carved white jade table was filled.
Bai Yuxuan's posture is acceptable, but his six brothers, the mouth is open, the air is leaking, and the youngest child is still crying and asking the nurse to feed. Not long after eating, their places were already in a mess, and they couldn't bear to look at them directly, and only Ning Zeqing and Bai Yu were light and light, as if they hadn't seen them.
After the meal, Ning Zeqing wanted to find out what he meant, but was preempted by Bai Yuxuan.
"I have always had a habit of going to my father's side to say goodbye after dinner. If General Ning doesn't dislike it, let's come together. ”
Hearing that he could see King Lian, Ning Zeqing naturally agreed.
Although Bai Yuxuan had already said that King Lian was sick, he didn't expect to be so sick.
He was lying on the luxuriously carved Huanghuali bed, his eyes closed but he kept moaning, and the smell of medicine seeped into every crevice of the floor and wall, and the smell was heavier than that of the medicinal herb shop.
Qu Mingli couldn't get used to smelling such a heavy smell, and held his breath slightly.
"Father, General Ning Zeqing has arrived." Bai Yuxuan walked to the side of the bed and asked respectfully.
The man on the bed was still moaning, unresponsive.
"Father, General Ning Zeqing has arrived." Bai Yuxuan took another step forward and leaned into his ear.
King Lian still didn't react.
Bai Yuxuan was about to shout again, but Ning Zeqing stopped him.
"Eldest prince, I don't know what kind of illness King Lian has, can you tell me?"
"I asked all the famous doctors in the world, but none of them could diagnose it. Now I can only rely on some tonic medicine to hang. Bai Yuxuan looked regretful.
Qu Mingli looked at the seriously ill King Lian, his heart was slightly cold, and he could only sigh at the impermanence of life, thinking that his mother was also a living person, and he suddenly left him, seeing him like this, how long could he last.
"Please also ask King Lian to take care of his health." After Ning Zeqing finished speaking, he retreated, and Bai Yuxuan arranged everyone's residence.
