Volume 1: The First Signs Chapter 40, Jianghan Waterway Dense Net
"In Xia Suqian, on the order of the second brother, I went to the disaster county with Lu Niangzi."
"Oh! It turned out to be Su Shiro. Lu Zhaoyi was blessed.
Su Qian is the fourth son of Su Gong, and he is the doctor of Taiqu Pavilion who sacrifices wine, and his official position is not high, but he is a generation of celebrities, and he is also familiar with some medical skills.
"Lu Niangzi, my father asked me to tell you that before going to the court, he had sent the materials needed for the treatment of the boil to Yingshangguan first. There were also thirty volumes of prescriptions for furuncles, which were placed in the baggage box at the back. ”
At this time, a man about thirty years old behind Su Qian chuckled, "Lu Niangzi should be a role model for women, and she has long heard of Lu Niangzi's deeds in the lower Qifeng. ”
Then, everyone greeted each other, and Qu Zhiyun called Gu Man by the river and went on the road together.
"Brother Qi, you are the guide to the road, is there a better way to walk, I will arrive at the disaster county in half a month." Su Qian rode on his horse and asked as he walked.
Qi Feng pointed ahead, "Our trip is to go to Yuyuan Pass, arrive at Yangcheng, change the water route from Yinghe River to the east, get off the boat at Yingshang Pass, and enter Huainan County." ”
He also knew that this group of people was not a tourist, and that there was an urgent business, and the waterway would be more than twice as fast as the land route.
In the carriage, Qu Zhiyun saw Lu Zhaoyi's dark face, so she said aloud: "But we plan to go to Xiakou Pass in Jiangxia County to join the six thousand horsemen there!" ”
Yesterday, Gou Chen's military division sent 6,000 cavalry to Xiakou, and Lin Xingzhi and Su Qian both heard about it and understood it.
"It's also very convenient." A voice from outside came into the carriage, "The Jianghan waterway is as dense as a net, take a boat all the way south, if the wind is good, you can arrive in less than 15 days." ”
"Good! Then follow it! Qu Zhiyun saw Lu Zhaoyi nodding secretly before replying.
Qi Feng outside shouted "Sit tight", and ordered the horse team to gallop south, along with the convoy.
When the group passed the Yuyuan Pass and passed through Songshan Mountain, it was already late at night.
Because the speed of the journey was faster, Lu Zhaoyi found Su Qian, Lin Xingzhi, and Qi Feng, and after discussion, it was decided that they would spend the night in Songyang Academy first and make a little repair.
Early the next morning, the team set off again and headed straight for Yangcheng Ferry.
When they reached the pier of the ferry, they found that there were already soldiers waiting for them.
It was only after questioning that they learned about the situation.
It turned out that after Xia Pei retired from the court yesterday, he sent 800 miles of urgent documents to Yangcheng, and ordered the sailors stationed here to mobilize dragon boats to escort them south, and strictly ordered that everything in the disaster county should be dispatched by Lu Niangzi's order.
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty can be so good? Let you board the dragon boat and go south? Qu Zhiyun was completely dumbfounded, staring at her face with her eyes.
Su Qian, Lin Xingzhi and others looked at each other tacitly, tacitly.
Seeing this, Lu Zhaoyi's face was slightly red.
Who doesn't know, this dragon boat is exclusive to the emperor, the imperial boat of the Son of Heaven, how can ordinary people log in? Even close people will not be allowed to ride.
Therefore, the emperor's behavior is really shocking.
Only Gu Man, he was very calm, staring stupidly, nibbling on the sugar gourd in his hand.
In his opinion, this is all as it should be, and he also thinks that the emperor still owes her the position of Taifu and Taishi.
It seemed to see everyone's reaction, and the sailor dudu smiled at everyone, "Your Majesty's edict, the disease is raging, for the sake of the common people in the world, I ordered the dragon boat sailor to fully assist and help Lu Niangzi and her party to rush to the disaster county as soon as possible." ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned again.
This...... How is it a bit like the emperor is extremely worried about Qi Niang, and specially ordered someone to protect it?
At this time, Qu Zhiyun came back to her senses, "Why should we worry, since Your Majesty has said so, just get on the boat." ”
After speaking, he directed at a group of medical officers and accompanying shadow guards behind him, and ordered, "Everyone hurry up and get on the boat!" ”
As a result, this fleet of three dragon boats sailed out of Yangcheng Port and went down the river.
After that, after seven more days of turbulence, it finally turned around in the Huai River.
And here, it is only ten miles away from Yingshangguan.
"Mrs. Lu." Su Qian found Lu Zhaoyi, "I decided with Brother Qi to take a part of the medical officer and Langzhong first, cross Yingshang Pass into Huainan County, and put it into treatment." ”
"As for Brother Xing and the rest of the medical officers, I will go to Xiakou Pass with you and arrange for them to be sent to Anfeng County, which is also serious."
After hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi immediately nodded, "That's very good." ”
Qi Feng took over the conversation, "Then, Brother Su and I will take the first step, Lu Niangzi, and we will contact each other by letter in the future." ”
"The disease is harmful, the two of you enter the disaster county, and everything is done carefully." Lu Zhaoyi looked worried.
"Mrs. Lu doesn't need to worry about us, if you have an order, just send someone to inform you."
Everything is explained clearly, and they disperse.
Su Qian and Qi Feng, with some people and a baggage team, took another boat and went directly to Yingshangguan, while the rest of the dragon boat team turned and continued to the southwest river.
After another five or six days, it was close to the pass of the Jingzhou waterway, and as soon as it passed, it had entered the boundary of Jiangxia County.
Everyone looked ahead, stunned. And Lu Zhaoyi stood on the bow of the dragon boat and blew the night breeze, holding the mast with one hand and looking into the distance, feeling quite heavy.
In this way, she quietly looked at the outline of Jiangxia County, and gradually appeared in her field of vision, her face was very solemn.
Since the early morning of the fifteenth day after leaving Luojing, the dragon boat has traveled to Xiakou Pass.
Here, Jiangxia Taishou and Xiakou Pass Commander led local officials and soldiers stationed in the pass to greet them.
The dragon boat docked, and the group jumped off the dragon boat one after another, and was taken to Xiakou Pass by the Taishou.
"I've heard of Lu Niangzi's name for a long time. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he received an urgent edict from His Majesty a few days ago, ordering the officials to be the first and follow the dispatch of Lu Niangzi. Jiangxia Taishou Song Chu said.
Lu Zhaoyi immediately saluted, "Don't dare, don't dare, in terms of official position, it should be Qi Niang who is called the lower official." ”
As the guard of a county, although it is only a four-rank official position, it is directly under the orders of the emperor, and the appointment, promotion, and removal are also approved by the emperor.
Due to the extreme chaos of the previous dynasty, the power of the state pastor reached its peak, and the competition among the heroes caused the world to suffer and the people to make a living. After the opening of the dynasty, the state pastor was abolished and the history of assassination was changed, but it was only the responsibility of supervision and had no real power.
But this county guard is in charge of the affairs of a county, and holds the real power of the place.
Song Chu laughed heartily and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, Lu Niangzi is the envoy appointed by His Majesty, so she is naturally Shangguan." You have been tired for a long time, and you will enter the city with the lower officials, sit down and rest, and tomorrow morning, the lower officials will send you through the customs? ”
Lu Zhaoyi and Lin Xingzhi exchanged glances, and then she politely refused: "No, the harm of the disease should be treated as soon as possible." ”
Song Chu lowered his head and pondered, and suddenly nodded solemnly, "That's true, Shangguan is sympathetic to the people, and Xiaguan will go all out to help." ”
"Okay, Song Taishou, let's do this......" she leaned closer and whispered, "Now the disease in Wancheng is relatively mild, and most of them have been controlled by Su Taishou, but you still can't take it lightly, Xiakou Pass, you order people to guard it strictly, let the guards do a good job of covering their mouths and noses, change it once a day, and if it is used, it must be burned on the same day." ”
She paused for a moment and continued to whisper, "It's best to have another batch of antidote herbs." ”
"Don't worry, Mrs. Lu, the lower officials know." Song Chu nodded.
"In addition, please send some medical officers and Lang Zhong to station with the army to avoid any accidents." Lu Zhaoyi advised.
Song Chu nodded again and again, indicating that he remembered it, and led them all the way into the city.
After that, he sent an order to the guards to prepare to open the pass in the mountain pass, let the road pass, and take strict precautions to prohibit the people of Linjun from entering.
"Qi Niang, here, is it really that serious?" Gu Man tilted his head and looked at her with big innocent eyes.
Lu Zhaoyi glanced down at him, with a smile that seemed to be smiling, "What?" Are you scared? Then leave you in Jiangxia, and I'll look for you when this matter is resolved? ”
Gu Man turned his head and didn't look at her, pretending to be strong, "I'm not afraid, as long as I follow Qi Niang, I'm not afraid." ”
Hearing this, she smiled and stretched out her hand and rubbed it on the top of Gu Man's head.
Laughing and laughing, in the city of Wengcheng, shouts resounded in the sky, and the neat and uniform cavalry queues, and the queues of spears, archers, and shield soldiers all over the city complemented each other, standing at the gate of the gate in a dusty field......
