Before Chun Yu reached the city gate, several officials in soap clothes standing on the side of the street stopped him. Chun Yuji took out the official card and handed it over, saying that he was a medical officer of the border army. A slightly older official took the official and looked at it carefully, looked up again, and asked, "How many are you?" ”

Chun Yu nodded, listened to his hoarse voice, and subconsciously glanced at him.

The official seemed a little annoyed, and asked with a sinking face, "Where are you going?" ”

Chun Yuji replied: "Go out of the city to heal." The little prince of Shan Yuting, the Huns outside the Saiwai, was injured in a fall, and the Taishou ordered me to send medicine over. ”

The official said sharply: "The Huns have committed a border, and Taishou has ordered the city to be closed to defend against the enemy." If you go out of the city with medicine now, aren't you collaborating with the enemy? ”

Chun Yu was shocked a few times, and stammered: "I didn't know that the Huns were on the side, and they were too obedient to my orders to go out of the city to treat and deliver medicine." ”

"But there is too much to keep the letter."

"Nope. It was the people who kept the house who spread the message. ”

The older official snorted, snatched the medicine letter and examined it. Chun Yuji thought to himself: "If you want to search, you can search, but it can also prove that I am a medical officer." ”

The official flipped through for a while, took out a carefully bound linen bag, opened it and inspected it, and it was a few root-like medicinal herbs. He sniffed it, nodded slightly to a few officials around him, turned around and asked sharply, "What is this?" ”

Chun Yu glanced at it a few times and said calmly: "Sanqi." ”

"Sanqi? Sanqi is a forbidden item at the border and is not allowed to trade out of the customs, don't you know? ”

Panax notoginseng, produced in Yizhou, south, has the miraculous effect of stopping bleeding and dispersing blood and fixing pain. Those with golden blade arrow wounds, stumbling and cane sores, and blood that does not stop, chew and smear, or grind and mix it, and the blood will stop, which is a necessary medicine in the army. Therefore, the imperial court listed it as a strictly forbidden trade material with iron tools, and the offender was guilty of a capital offense.

Chun Yu was stunned and defended: "I'm not going to trade, I'm really going to heal the little prince of the Huns." ”

The older official couldn't help but twist his arm, and several officials crowded over, pushing and shoving towards the yafu in the city. Some passers-by looked curiously here, only to see a group of people hugging one person, and they didn't know what was happening.

Chun Yuji suddenly felt that something was wrong. Shuofang is a small place, and the border army has a lot of contacts with the government officials, and they often look at each other, and this group of officials looks very good-looking. He thought, "I've been caught for no reason, and I don't know where I'm going to go." No, you have to report to the barracks. ”

happened to see that the group of acquaintances were still not far away, and he had an idea and shouted loudly: "Wang Wu, Lao Liu." When the sergeants heard the sound and looked this way, they recognized it as the medical officer, and they all gathered around and asked what was going on.

The official also seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and said, "It's nothing, Taishou asked the medical officer to go back to the house for questioning." ”

Chun Yuji deliberately said loudly to the sergeant, "After you return to the camp, tell the chief Hua that I have gone to the Taishou Mansion, and if I can't return to the camp in time, I will go to the lieutenant to take leave, and I dare not delay military affairs."

When the sergeant heard that it was the Taishou Mansion who took people, it was inconvenient to stop him, so he promised Chun Yu to pass the word for him.

The official residence of Shuo Fang Taishou was as calm as usual. Taishou Ren Xuan was entertaining the Huo Mansion messenger in the inner room of the backyard, and a government official came to the door and said that there was something to report.

Ren Xuan got up and went over, frowned while listening, and waved him to go after the official said.

Ren Xuan returned to the case and sat down, and told with an expressionless face that the messenger of Huofu had been taken to Shuofang County Prison.

The Huofu messenger was overjoyed, stood up and walked around the room a few times, rubbed his hands together and said, "Great, this is a great achievement." He laughed and said, "Let's have a glass of wine and celebrate." ”

Ren Xuan was a retainer of Huofu, and he was originally a Beijing official with a rank of thousands of stones in Chang'an, but because he was entrusted by Huo Yu, Shangshu asked Feng Zidu to be a marquis, which annoyed the emperor and was sent to this remote and desolate border city.

He also complained about the Huo family in his heart, he shouldn't let him come out. Now the Huo family wants him to do something that is not embarrassing or embarrassing, and he can't help but feel resentful, and the messenger of the Huo Mansion has been arrogant when he comes here, which makes him even more unhappy.

Ren Xuan reluctantly ordered someone to put the wine and food, a handmaid came over to pour wine, and the Huofu messenger looked at the handmaid's white and delicate little hands, her color heart rose sharply, she grabbed it, and said with a salivating face: "It's so soft." ”

Ren Xuan was disgusted in his heart, and he couldn't wait to kick the Huofu messenger away. He motioned for the maid to retreat, poured wine for the Huofu messenger, and said expressionlessly: "I'm not Prince Dan, and you're not Jing Ke, just drink and don't think about anything else." ”

Seeing that he was displeased, the Huofu messenger laughed dryly, raised his glass and said, "Drink, drink." ”

That night, Chun Yu did not return to the camp, Hua Yanshou listened to the sergeant's words, felt that this matter was quite strange, and wanted to break into the governor's mansion several times to report, but considering that it was too late, he endured it.

Early the next morning, he found out that the lieutenant had gotten up and was dancing his sword in the courtyard, and was waiting outside the door. After the dance was finished, he walked in and told Chun Yu that he had been detained.

Du Wei was also puzzled when he heard this, and no one informed the Huns that they had committed crimes, so why did they arrest Chun Yu for the crime of financing the enemy? He promised Hua Yanshou to go to the Taishou Mansion to negotiate immediately.

When Ren Xuan heard the visit of the captain of the border army of Shuo Fang, he knew that it was for the sake of Chun Yuji, and asked the messenger of Huo Fu how to answer. The Huofu messenger didn't care, and said: "Let's just say that it is just a few fornications with foreign vassals and stealing and selling forbidden things." Deal with it first. He leaned into his ear and muttered in his ear.

Du Wei was already waiting in the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, and when he saw Ren Xuan coming out, he got up and saluted. Ren Xuan returned the salute and beckoned him to sit down.

Although the commanders of the border army are under the rule of the local Taishou, one side is in charge of the military and the other side governs the locality, and basically each performs its own duties and has nothing to do with each other

Ren Xuan smiled and asked, "What is the matter with Captain Du's here?" ”

Du Wei said: "The medical officer of my nunnery was detained by the government yesterday, I don't know what the reason is, but Taishou knows?" ”

Ren Xuan pretended to think about it, and suddenly realized: "It's just a few questions, someone reported that he fornicated with foreign feudal clans and stole and sold forbidden materials to enemies. ”

"Fornicating with foreign vassals, stealing and selling forbidden materials to the enemy? How is this possible. Besides, the Monan Xiongnu have been attached to the imperial court, even if there are some contacts, it is impossible to say that there is any fornication with foreign vassals. ”

Ren Xuan sat up straight and said with a serious expression: "According to the news obtained by the officials, the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu in Monan tried to make trouble and rob the border people. Therefore, in the past few days, the officials have been patrolling the streets to strictly guard against spies and enemies. ”

The lieutenant was taken aback: "Why didn't I hear this news?" ”

Ren Xuan pretended to be mysterious, leaned over and whispered: "Although the Monan Xiongnu have reconciled with the imperial court, I, as a border guard, dare not relax at all. Therefore, I often sent officials to pretend to be business travelers and go deep into the hinterland of Monan to inquire about the news. The Monan Xiongnu Shan Yu had no dissenting intentions, however, the Right Xian King was quietly gathering soldiers and horses, preparing to plunder the border people. ”

"Is the information reliable?"

"Reliable, someone has already seen the cavalry of the Right Virtuous King gathering by the Great Wall."

The lieutenant has the responsibility of guarding the border, and when he heard the news, he immediately became uneasy, and his two hands habitually kept rubbing.

Ren Xuan smiled secretly and said very considerately: "I said, be prepared." You should also reorganize your armaments and send more men to garrison the Great Wall in case the Huns attack and harass. If something happens, the court will blame it, and you and I can't afford it. ”

The lieutenant was a little ignorant by what he said, and he forgot to investigate the matter of Chun Yuji, and hurriedly said goodbye.

After sending away the lieutenant of the border army, Ren Xuan suddenly felt empty in his heart. At this time, the Huofu messenger turned out from behind the screen, laughing and clapping his hands; "Good, good. Well flickered. ”

Ren Xuan was very annoyed by this person, and said coldly, "You asked me to say that, and I said so." And then what to do. ”

"Quietly killed Chun Yuji."

Ren Xuan was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, and shook his head very resolutely: "No, he is a registered medical officer in the border army, and there are captains and chief doctors staring at him at the moment, if he dies in vain, the court will blame him, and I can't afford it." ”

The Huo Fu messenger disagreed: "What can't you afford, isn't it just a little medical officer." Then put him in the county prison first, and General Du Liao will arrive in a few days. Huo Fu took care of the life to see people, and the death to see the corpse. ”

"General Du Liao, Fan Mingyou is coming?" Ren Xuan was secretly shocked, thinking in his heart, for the sake of this little medical officer, the Huo family really made a big move.
