Chapter 131: Matters of the Heart Add more to 700 diamonds
Liang Yan packed her bags, dressed in civilian clothes, left Wu County, and looked around.
Li Xuanyi naturally didn't worry about letting her run around alone, so he walked with her, and Shangguan Xi naturally wanted to join in the fun.
Shangguan Ruixing was strange, he didn't urge Shangguan Xi to go home, but put down his body as a patriarch and followed Shangguan Xi closely.
With such a group of people, the lineup is not small.
Liang Yan's original plan for a quiet secret visit turned into a huge "secret visit". However, she asked everyone to pretend to be ordinary big families, and no one was allowed to reveal their official identity.
A large family, richly dressed, except for the guards brought by Li Xuanyi to sit like a clock, their expressions were too serious, but they also had the style of a big family.
Xu was Li Xuanyi's order to "dismiss his post and investigate on the spot," which was very deterrent.
The measures to prevent the plague in various localities have also been implemented very well. The streets are also kept exceptionally clean, and in some places there are even a lot of cleaners hired by the local yamen to clean the streets around the clock to prevent the accumulation of garbage and stolen goods and the spread of diseases.
Everywhere Liang Yan went, when she first checked the implementation of the local plague prevention and control, she couldn't help but go deep into the quarantine area, personally diagnose and treat the patients, and exchange experiences with local doctors.
Even when she met poor people, it was not that they had a big head plague, but that they had no money for treatment for other diseases, and she would also treat them for free and send money and medicine.
Liang Yan traveled all the way, and wherever she appeared, both local doctors and people praised her. Even some of the places where she rescued also built stone statues for her, calling her the "Bodhisattva Niangniang" who saved the world and saved her life, and let her stone statue sit in the temple and bear incense.
Liang Yan's fame has become bigger and bigger in Jiangdong.
So much so that she couldn't make an "unannounced visit" later, and as soon as she appeared, she would be recognized. The people knew that she was thousands of miles away, and that they had come from the capital without fear of the plague, and rescued them from the panic of the plague, and they were deeply grateful to her, and as soon as they recognized her, they immediately bowed their heads in thanksgiving.
The people were so enthusiastic that Liang Yan was very uncomfortable.
She hid back in the carriage and looked at the people kneeling outside the carriage, chanting "Thank you to the Bodhisattva Niangniang......" and so on, she only felt extremely embarrassed.
Shangguan Xi retracted his gaze from the car window and looked at her with blazing eyes, "Master, so mighty, so domineering!" I just said that it was wisest to apprentice at the beginning! ”
Liang Yan shook her head and chuckled, "It's really simple folk customs, the people's requirements are too low, what I have done is meager, how can I be so praised by them?" What a deserved! ”
Shangguan Xi shook his head again and again, "Master, you are too modest!" As long as the officials who do not exploit the people, they will be called good officials by the people! You can do so much better than those officials! Don't feel ashamed of it at all! ”
Liang Yan smiled with her head bowed, although she said that she was worthy of it, but her heart was still beautiful. Who doesn't love to be praised by others? People like to listen to good words.
Her trip was originally the purpose of her visit to Jiangdong to be affirmed by everyone and to prove her ability.
It's just that I didn't expect that the effect was even better than I expected.
They should really be thankful, this simple life is not enough, but the kindness within their ability makes them so grateful.
The carriage gradually drove away from the street where Liang Yan was recognized, and slowly walked out of the city.
Liang Yan reached out and lifted the curtain and looked out the car window.
Li Xuanyi rode on a tall horse and walked at the front of the team. His back was straight, and his straight back was like a green pine, resolute and calm.
Liang Yan lowered the curtains of the car and lowered her eyebrows.
Why does she think that something is not quite right with Li Xuanyi in the past two days? Feeling unhappy?
She has been affirmed and praised by the people, shouldn't he be happy for her?
Why is he a little absent-minded and sullen?
At night, when a group of people stayed at the inn.
Liang Yan asked the store for water, carried the water to the door of Li Xuanyi's room, and knocked on the door.
"Who?" A deep voice came from the room.
"It's me." Liang Yan responded.
There was silence in the room, and after a while, I heard Li Xuanyi's footsteps and came to the door.
He pulled the door, and his eyes fell on Liang Yan who was standing outside the door.
Liang Yan also looked back at him, his eyebrows and eyes were still so beautiful. But there seems to be a dull gloom between the eyebrows.
"Can you come in?" Liang Yan asked in a low voice.
There is definitely something wrong with this guy, if she stood at the door in the past, he would have pulled her in as soon as he could, and he would wait for her to take the initiative to speak?
Li Xuanyi hesitated for a moment before he nodded, let go of his hand holding the door, and turned sideways to let her in.
When Liang Yan put down the kettle on the table, he had already closed the door with his backhand, turned around, looked at Liang Yan with a smile and said, "Shouldn't I congratulate you?" So popular now? ”
Liang Yan raised her eyes to look at him, although she heard his sincere tone, she saw that he was smiling reluctantly.
"Do you have something on your mind?"
Li Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No." ”
Liang Yan looked at him fixedly, and after a while, she lightly opened her lips and said, "I am affirmed and praised by everyone, aren't you happy?" ”
Li Xuanyi sat down across from her, "How come?" Your efforts have paid off, you have proved yourself with your own strength, so that people who originally questioned you and did not trust you have to admit that although you are from a mediocre background, you don't have to be worse than anyone, as a woman, you are more productive and courageous than men. I'm happy for you and proud of you. ”
Liang Yan looked at Li Xuanyi's deep eyes and chuckled: "But you clearly have 'I'm not happy, don't mess with me' written on your face." ”
Li Xuanyi pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly, sighed lightly, raised her hand and rubbed her hair, "Don't think too much, there's nothing to do." ”
Liang Yan looked at him and was speechless for a long time.
The two sat for a while, and then Liang Yan got up and left, and Li Xuanyi did not insist on staying.
He is clearly not normal.
Liang Yan hesitated, found Shangguan Xi, and asked Shangguan Xi to go with her to find her Aya Shangguan Ruixing.
When Liang Yan and Shangguan Xi found Shangguan Ruixing, he was sitting in the shelter in the backyard of the inn, sipping warm tea and listening to Le Ji playing the flute in the inn.
"Take the liberty of disturbing and look at the Shangguan patriarch Haihan." Liang Yan stood at the door of the Shelter Pavilion and arched her hand.
Shangguan Ruixing waved his hand, let Le Ji retreat, got up and asked, "Liang Tingshi is polite, please take a seat." ”
Shangguan Xi stepped forward and grabbed Shangguan Ruixing's hand and said, "Aye, you just let that Le Ji play, but the one that A-Niang liked the most before?" ”
Shangguan Ruixing glanced at his daughter, touched her head and said, "It's just similar, you heard it wrong." ”
Shangguan Xi blinked, "A-Niang's favorite song, how could I hear it wrong?" ”
Shangguan Ruixing pursed his lips and said nothing.
Shangguan Xi looked at him and said, "Aya, in fact, you miss A-Niang as much as I do, don't you?" ”
Shangguan Ruixing ignored her words, looked at Liang Yan and said, "I don't know what happened to Liang Tingshi?" ”
Liang Yan bowed, "I want to ask the Shangguan patriarch about something, but I don't know if it's inconvenient." ”
Shangguan Ruixing nodded, "Liang Thorn Shi said that it doesn't matter. ”
Liang Yan said in a low voice: "Patriarch Shangguan must have heard from all directions, I wonder if there has been a major event in the court recently?" ”
Shangguan Ruixing glanced up at her, "How could Liang Tingshi ask such a question?" ”
Liang Yan pondered the words, and still said truthfully and slowly: "I see that Lord Duhu has been a little absent-minded recently, and even when he is on patrol, he is often silently distracted. Asked Lord Metropolitan Protection.,But Metropolitan Protector-sama talked about him left and right.。 So a certain guess, what happened to Xu is the court to distract Lord Duhu? Take the liberty to ask the patriarch of Shangguan, if there is anything inappropriate, the patriarch should not blame! ”
Shangguan Ruixing lowered his eyes and thought about it, and did not speak for a while.
Shangguan Xi shook his arm and said coquettishly, "Aya, do you know or not?" If you know, tell my Master! My master is not an outsider! ”
Shangguan Ruixing glanced helplessly at his daughter, whose elbow was turned out, and chuckled.
Liang Yan said: "Ah Xi, if it is inconvenient for the Shangguan patriarch to speak, forget it, there is no need to force it." ”
Shangguan Ruixing looked at Liang Yan and said: "Liang Tingshi is worried about Sheji, although he is a woman, everyone sees what he has done along the way. A certain also admired Liang Tingshi. ”
Liang Yan smiled humbly.
"There is indeed something happening in the DPRK, I don't know if this matter is something that worries Lord Dugo." Shangguan Ruixing said slowly, "Speaking of which, this matter is also related to the plague. In order to block the epidemic area and prevent the plague from spreading more widely, the imperial court transferred more than 50,000 soldiers and horses from Jingzhou and Yuanzhou. I think I also know about the history of Liang Thorn. ”
Liang Yan nodded.
Shangguan Ruixing continued: "Jingzhou Yuanzhou is adjacent to the Tubo Hui and other ethnic groups in the Western Regions. Originally, from the time of the first emperor, the Tubo Hui had the intention of being a vassal to my Great Zhou, and often came and went, sending people to the Great Zhou to learn grain planting, the construction and use of industrial and agricultural tools, and the learning of the Great Zhou culture, language, and so on. It can be said that the relationship has developed well, and the first emperor also made a princess marry far away in the Western Regions. But the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, the Tubo Hui gradually unified the Western Regions, the power became stronger, and learned the advanced culture and technology of the Great Zhou, and the greed rose sharply, and was already uneasy with the status quo. Although on the surface, he still claims to the Great Zhou. But this time, taking the opportunity to raise troops to invade our Jingzhou Yuanzhou has already shown its wolf ambitions! ”
Liang Yan only understood when she heard this.
The Tubo and Hui tribes, who were originally really subservient, took advantage of the Jiangdong plague and the sage transferred the soldiers and horses stationed in the Western Regions, and raised troops to invade the territory of the Great Zhou.
"How's the war going?" Liang Yan asked.
Shangguan Ruixing shook his head slightly, "They came prepared, they were originally friendly countries, but they suddenly attacked, Jingzhou and Yuanzhou were completely defenseless, and now they can only be tired to face the battle." The soldiers and horses that the saint transferred to support are still on the way. ”
Liang Yan couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard this.
In this ancient march, the main force was infantry, and even if it was a non-stop rush day and night, it would take many hours to reach the battlefield.
A plague has caused a lot of things.
Fortunately, now the plague in Jiangdong has been basically controlled, otherwise internal and external troubles will be in danger!
