Zhao Guangyi returned to the Great Song Dynasty. The spies sent back one after another came back to tell him that the peach girl had arrived in Jinling safely, and was now in charge of the Huayue Fang. It is said that she is good at dancing with long sleeves, it is said that she is famous, it is said that she has a good way to run the flower moon workshop like flowing water, it is said that she is very appreciated by Li Yu and often has royal gifts - every news makes his heart soothe first. But then it was pulled up. His people, he wanted to drag her to him desperately, watch her, guard her.

If she wanted, he could ignore Zhao Kuangyin's anger, Nantang's protests, and Qi Zhengxiu's threats, at any cost, as long as he kept her by his side. Unfortunately, she didn't want to, she wanted to get out of the way. Zhao Guangyi didn't know what attracted Xiao Tao in the Southern Tang Dynasty, was it the affection of his homeland? Or Qi Zhengxiu Li Yu? Or is it the life of Huayuefang? She did live a prosperous life in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but did that matter? What is he in her heart? He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't guess it. It's just that it hurts to think that she pulled him to jump into the river, and it hurts to dance "Longevity Girl" for him. It hurts to write his words on the ground, and these pains have been buried for a long time, and they have worn him down and emaciated. She is his, in this life, and always will be! Zhao Guangyi clenched his fists.

A while ago, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to spy on the strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty Navy and sent hundreds of people to inspect the river pretending to be bandits, but he lost the battle, and Zhao Kuangyin was extremely unwilling. Now every day after retreating from the dynasty, he and Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu are discussing where to start to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin's ambition is to unify the world, and to unify the world, the Northern Han supported by the Khitan in the north cannot be moved for the time being, and the Southern Han and Wu Yue in the south are not a problem, sooner or later. The most scratching the head is the Southern Tang Dynasty, which occupies the danger of the Yangtze River, and the natural danger and the tough naval army are undoubtedly a hard bone for the Great Song Dynasty, which is good at riding infantry. Previously, in the Later Zhou Chai Rong period, the territory north of the Yangtze River in the Southern Tang Dynasty was not bad, and there were many land battles. There are few water battles. And the Southern Tang Dynasty is now the capital of Jiangbei Prefecture, and only the south bank of the Yangtze River remains. If you want to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, you must first cross the river.

Zhao Guangyi doesn't care much about other places, but Nantang, he is going to decide. After discussing for a few days, Zhao Guangyi proposed to start from three places: Anhuikou, Changzhou, and Runzhou. Anhui is the western front, Changzhou is the eastern front, these two places after the detection of troops, can build naval defense as a base for attack. Runzhou and Yangzhou are across the river, and the Song army has already occupied Yangzhou, and it is most convenient to attack in Yangzhou.

Zhao Kuangyin immediately made a decision, first taking Wankou as a pilot, increasing the Song army patrolling the river to detect the terrain. Build military fortifications. Zhao Kuangyin is very confident: "It is expected that the Southern Tang Dynasty will not be able to resist the three pincer attacks, this time I will go to explore the wind, and once I get the benefit, I will send a large-scale naval army to fight." ”

Zhao Guangyi nodded slightly, no matter if Changzhou or Runzhou is used as a breakthrough, it is not far from Jinling.

In midsummer June, Kaifeng is still breezy, and Jinling is already scorching. Xiao Tao had to lock herself in Taoyuan all day long, and easily refused to go out. She only went out for a walk at night, and some people secretly rumored that she was sick.

Yueniang saw that Xiao Tao's face was yellow, and her body was a little bloated, so she kept persuading: "Let's ask a Lang Zhong to take a look, you can't carry it hard if you are sick." A few days ago, Hongzhu coughed and couldn't get his heart down. I coughed up blood, and now I was scared, just thinking that I was helpless. Coincidentally, I caught up with a traveling doctor in Yuezhou, and I took a few medicines, and now I am better. So if you are sick, you still have to see. ”

Yuezhou traveling doctor? Xiao Tao's heart moved, and she hurriedly said, "Is the traveling doctor still there?" Please take a look. ”

Yueniang looked at Xiao Tao and was relieved, and her face was happy: "Yes, yes, I have come to see Hongzhu these days." If you agree, I'll send someone to ask for it. With that, he hurriedly walked out.

In less than an hour, Huo Zhong, who was carrying a cloth bag, walked in under the leadership of his subordinates, and Xiao Tao looked at the human figure outside through the curtain, and his heart was sour. I haven't seen each other for many years, but I met again here.

Xiao Tao ordered everyone to go out, and even Qingqing, who served closely, was instructed by Xiao Tao to guard at the door. No one is allowed in. to estimate the madness.

Xiao Tao gently opened the curtain, walked out, looked at Huo Zhong and bit her lip and said, "Doctor Huo, do you remember me?" After saying that, his eyes were a little damp.

Huo Zhong squinted his eyes at the dim light in the room, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen her for a few years, and the girl has changed a lot. If you don't look closely, you really can't recognize it. As he spoke, he looked Xiao Tao up and down and said with a wry smile, "But for so many years, every time I see you, my body is not good." Now his complexion is more floating. ”

Xiao Tao hurriedly invited Huo Zhong to sit down and said, "Is Doctor Huo in good health?" Have you been traveling around all these years, practicing medicine and saving people? ”

Huo Zhong waved his hand: "I'm old, I can't walk anymore." In the past, I was out for ten months a year, and I had to go to some dangerous places to find out what rare medicinal herbs were. Now I only go out for half a year at most, and I only go to some prosperous and flat places. Now as long as you can see some rare diseases, it is worth it. As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Tao and smiled, "The girl's illness is all cured, right?" At the beginning, there was still a stitch missing, but by mistake there was no chance. ”

Xiao Tao hooked her lips and smiled: "Almost." What should be remembered, everything remembers. If you can't remember it, maybe you shouldn't remember it either. ”

"Hahaha." Huo Zhonglang laughed, "Girl, this is a good statement, open-minded. People are not afraid of getting sick, but they are afraid that heart disease will be difficult to cure. The girl was as smart and transparent as we were when we first met. ”

Xiao Tao's heart moved when she heard this, stood up, bowed to Huo Zhong, and said in a low voice: "Since I have known Dr. Huo for many years, please ask Dr. Huo to save me." ”

Huo Zhong hurriedly helped Xiao Tao up, and said in a loud voice: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, if there is anything girl, just say it." ”

Xiao Tao slowly sat down again, stretched out a hand and handed it to Huo Zhongdao: "You help me check the pulse, and I will know everything." ”

Huo Zhong rolled up his sleeves, reached out and put his hand on Xiao Tao's arm, only cut it a few times, his brows were already furrowed, and he looked at Xiao Tao and stopped: "Girl, this" paused and said, "But really?" ”

Xiao Tao nodded, bit her lip and whispered, "So you want the doctor to save me?" ”

Huo Zhong carefully cut the veins of Xiao Tao's two arms, and his face was worried: "Girl, have you ever had the experience of slippery tires before?" Seeing Xiao Tao nodded, he said, "So the girl's body looks strong on the outside, but empty on the inside." If you slip the child off again this time, it will be difficult to have children again in the future. The girl still thinks twice. Huo Zhong understood what kind of place Huayuefang was, and the girls here were all official prostitutes, so naturally they didn't dare to have children.

As soon as Huo Zhong's words fell, Xiao Tao hurriedly said, "Doctor Huo misunderstood. I'm not trying to slip the baby, I'm trying to keep him and give birth to him at all costs. ”

Seeing Huo Zhong's surprised face, Xiao Tao said in a low voice: "Huayuefang naturally can't tolerate me giving birth to a child, I'm afraid that someone will report to the sect or Taichang Temple to find me trouble." So I just thought of a way, I don't know if it's feasible, and I want Dr. Huo to help me. ”

Huo Zhong didn't hesitate and said, "Girl, please speak." ”

"Is there any medicine that I can take or use to have symptoms of the plague? But it doesn't hurt the child. This will allow me to report to the workshop and isolate me to a secluded place. When the child is born, I will be able to bear all the punishments, and I only hope that he will give birth safely. Xiao Tao looked at Huo Zhong, her eyes full of pleading.

Huo Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, thought about it carefully, and said after a while: "I won't be able to remember for a while." There are people who have taken medicines like plague, but they will affect the fetus. So I need to go back and look up the ancient recipe, find the right one, and come back to you. ”

Xiao Tao was overjoyed, her eyes were red and she was about to bow down again, but Huo Zhong helped her and said, "Girl, don't torture me." I will do my best. ”

After Huo Zhong left, Yueniang hurriedly ran over and asked Xiao Tao, "How is it?" Is that okay with Langzhong? How so? ”

Xiao Tao looked at Yueniang with a sad expression: "Lang Zhong is a divine doctor, but it is the divine doctor who can see that my illness is unusual and difficult to treat." Say it's two times and come again. ”

Xiao Tao's words frightened Yueniang: "Don't scare me." Will it work? Do you want to tell the emperor to send the imperial doctor? ”

"Not necessarily. How to say it after two days. Xiao Tao smiled reluctantly.

Two days later, Huo Zhong came to Daohuayuefang again. Xiao Tao still branched people out. Huo Zhong took out a square box and handed it to Xiao Tao and said, "Here is the prepared medicine." It is mainly a kind of Dong brown powder that is born in the south, and it will cause red spots and itchiness when rubbed on the body. It is also mixed with rice flour and grass ash, which can only isolate the effect of Dong Brown outside the skin, and will not enter the body and hurt the fetus. When using, rub a layer of fat powder on the body before applying this medicine, a thin layer is sufficient. ”

Xiao Tao held the medicine and bowed heavily to Huo Zhong: "Doctor Huo's life-saving grace, Xiao Tao is unforgettable." ”

"If you want to thank me, you don't have to thank me, you should thank you-" Huo Zhong couldn't help but say, he stopped his mouth again, and said with a smile, "Girl, take care of yourself." If he can really get out, it is also Huo Zhong's merit. ”

On the third day after Huo Zhong left, Xiao Tao had red spots all over her body, and when she scratched it hard, it became a piece of red spots. The whole person was swollen a lot. Yueniang was so frightened that she couldn't care about anything and hurried to report to the teaching workshop, but the teaching workshop didn't dare to delay and ask for the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor didn't dare to touch Xiao Tao, and after looking at it, his voice trembled a little: "It looks like I'm infected with an epidemic, but I can't see which one it is for a while." ”

The imperial doctor didn't dare to stay longer, the epidemic is contagious, and before leaving, he instructed Yueniang to quickly settle Xiao Tao, so as not to infect others. hurriedly rushed back to the palace and hurriedly told Li Yu.

In the huge peach garden, no one dares to step into it except Qingqing. No one even dared to set foot outside the Taoyuan. Only Qingqing ran in and out, serving Xiao Tao wholeheartedly.

Epidemics are no small matter. After Li Yu got the report, he hurriedly sent troops to take Xiao Tao to the southern suburbs of Jinling City to prevent infection. It was originally the annex of the former prince Li Hongji, and it has been abandoned since the death of the prince. A few more imperial doctors were sent over to treat Xiao Tao as hard as he could.
