Will settle accounts after the fall
When Li Hanning returned to Xiao's mansion, it was already afternoon, and she used the few remaining grains in the room to cook a bowl of porridge for Xiao Ce.
But when she went to the granary, she also saw that the goods stored in the warehouse on one side, the boxes were scattered and wrapped in red silk, or simply mahogany boxes, from gold and silver jewelry to rouge gouache for girls, neatly arranged in the storeroom.
The difference elsewhere is that these things seem to be her favorites, either from the shops in Chang'an, which she usually likes, or her favorite colors and styles, and it can be seen that the people who buy these are very attentive, and the person in every small place remembers that this should have been bought a few weeks ago, because the box has fallen with a thin layer of dust.
Li Hanning suddenly remembered her, and Xiao Ce told her about preparing the dowry before leaving.
That's what he prepared.
Originally, if there was no epidemic, he would have been able to come back after fighting the battle on the Nanjiang River, and he would naturally be happy when he saw this scene. However, when Li Hanning saw this scene at this moment, he did have some mixed feelings in his heart.
The arrangements and plans between personnel have not kept up with many changes, and now she only hopes that they can still use these things in this life.
Li Hanning quietly retreated and closed the door of the room again, as if she had never seen the things that Xiao Ce had prepared for her in these warehouses.
However, he couldn't drink much anymore, and Xiao Ce now caused a violent cough almost every time he swallowed.
Li Hanning was of course worried when she saw this scene, but Xiao Ce still had the strength to comfort her and tell her not to worry.
Li Han took out the thin book from the cloud sleeve and handed it to Xiao Ce.
"Your Highness, this is what I found in Mofu when I went out during the day, and this is a prescription for the treatment of epidemics."
But at the moment, she has no way to confirm the authenticity of the prescription, but this is also their only chance at the moment.
"But then I went to the pharmacy in the city, and all of them went, either the building was empty, or there were no more medicinal herbs in it."
This is the biggest trouble at the moment, even if the prescription is true, they don't have that many medicinal materials.
Li Hanning said to the person in front of him: "Your Highness, I want to go out of the city to try my luck." ”
Maybe there will be places around Chang'an City, but if Li Hanning goes out, it is very likely that the epidemic will also spread.
Or maybe you can contact Song Heng and ask him to think of a way to send these medicinal materials to the city.
Xiao Ce glanced at her: "After all, General Song is from Luoyang, if we go out, it will make him embarrassed, let me write a letter to General Song." ”
Li Hanning felt in her heart that it was okay, Song Heng must know Xiao Ce's handwriting, if she could, she could tie this letter to an arrow and shoot it to the side of those soldiers guarding outside the city gate, as long as they saw it, as long as Song Heng could see it, I believe he would not ignore so many people in the city.
After Xiao Ce finished writing the letter, Li Hanning took the letter all the way to the city gate, and jumped lightly to the top of the city tower, but at this time, he saw that someone was about to enter the city, and he was followed by many wooden wheeled carts transporting goods.
Who is going into the city at this time?
Li Hanning jumped down and glanced at it from a distance, only to feel that the person at the head was very familiar. After seeing clearly who the person who came, Li Hanning couldn't help but be surprised.
Son?
Li Zhao also saw her from a distance, and seemed to be a little surprised, because Li Zhao was in the field a few days ago, and he also heard about Li Hanning leading troops to attack southern Xinjiang, but he didn't expect that she was actually in Chang'an at this time.
Seeing that Li Zhao came over, there were only a few people between the two people, Li Hanning hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him:
"Childe, don't come here."
"Why did Gongzi come to Chang'an at this time, did the guards at the door tell you about the epidemic in Chang'an?"
It is very likely that she was also infected with the epidemic at this time, but Li Zhao is different, he has just entered the city, and he should not be infected at this time, so it is still too late.
Li Zhao said calmly: "I know that the matter of the epidemic has been ascertained, it was done by the Mo Mansion, and I came here for this matter this time, and the medicine I brought today can treat the people in the city." ”
It was Li Hanning's turn to be a little surprised when he heard this.
Li Zhao waved his sleeves and asked the people behind him to knock on the door along the street to distribute medicinal herbs, and he quickly took two of the packets and handed them to Li Hanning in front of him:
"It's yours."
Then he hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard from General Song stationed outside the city that Xiao Ce is also in the city now, and the other one is for him, you can take it back and let him take it after it is fried for him." ”
Li Zhao said, she naturally believed it, although at the moment Li Zhao did not explain the origin of these medicinal materials in his hand, but the current situation is critical, Li Hanning can't delay for a moment, so he has to face the humanity in front of him:
Li Hanning said: "Thank you, son." ”
Without further ado, she will come to the door to thank you on the other days.
Li Zhao also knew that she was in a hurry, not to mention that he had other things to do today, so he didn't keep her anymore:
"Come on, I'm just right today, who else has to be busy with these medicinal herbs, I'm afraid it's not enough for the people in the city to take, I'll find a way to transfer it from the nearby city again."
If the medicinal materials are really useful, Luoyang Jun will definitely help to find a way again, Li Hanning hurriedly said goodbye to him, and then went back to the house to decoct the medicine, and was busy for about an hour or two, Li Hanning barely knew a few of the medicinal materials, which seemed to be the same as the medicine on the prescription.
After the medicine was cured, she brought it to Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce glanced at it hesitantly, the pharmacies in Chang'an City should have been closed, Li Hanning had only been to the city gate during the day, how could it be spread to the city so quickly?
Li Hanning also knew what he was wondering about: "Your Highness, don't worry, there is nothing wrong with this medicinal material, this is when I went to the city gate today, I happened to meet Gongzi entering the city, he gave it to me, I have carefully compared it with the prescription prescribed by the doctor, there should be no problem." ”
That person Xiao Ce was also trustworthy, not to mention that if this was not a cure, there was no need for him to enter Chang'an City at this time to take the risk by himself, so he took the decoction and drank it all, and Li Hanning was relieved.
One pack of medicine is enough for three days, as long as you take care of it well in the next few days, there should be no problem.
Li Hanning has been living in the guest room of Xiao Ce's room for the past few days, very close to him, just worried about what happened at night, three days have passed in a year, Li Hanning has heard that the people in the city have successively received the medicinal materials distributed by Li Zhao and Luoyang Jun.
The medicine is useful, and the effect is very obvious, and most of the rash on Xiao Ce's body has subsided on the second day after drinking the medicine.
Today just arrived at night, and it was originally dark in Chang'an City, but tonight the lights were bright, and more and more people were cured.
When Li Hanning was reading a book in the bedroom, he suddenly heard a squeaky sound at the door, Li Hanning put down the book in his hand, walked out and pushed the door, and saw Xiao Ce, his clothes were already neatly dressed.
Li Hanning immediately asked: "Your Highness's illness has not been cured, do you have to go out at this time?" ”
If there was something unimportant, she could have done it for her.
"I received the letter from Song Heng to me, and the medicinal materials are not enough at the moment, but the surrounding cities need a certain amount of money and manpower to adjust the medicine, and they also need official documents."
He had to meet Song Heng in person and arrange all these things, Li Zhao had done enough for them, and they had to do the rest themselves.
Li Hanning immediately understood: "Then I'll accompany my son to the military camp outside the city." ”
"Okay."
The two of them came to the gate of the city, and now the people in the city can't go out at will, for fear that the people who haven't drunk the medicine will spread the epidemic, so the soldiers guarding the city gate saw that Li Hanning and Xiao Ce were going out, so they stretched out their hands to stop them:
"Your Excellency has an order, the people in the city can't go out for the time being these days, and the specific time will have to wait for the notice from the adult, please go back."
Li Hanning stopped in front of Xiao Ce and turned out the golden order pinned to his waist:
"Don't worry, we have already used the medicine, and behind me is His Royal Highness King Ming, and I want to see your General Song today."
The two guards hesitated when they heard this, but seeing that the golden order in Li Hanning's hand was fake, with a word engraved on it, they immediately knelt down:
"I didn't know that King Ming was here, I was offended, General Song is now in the main camp outside the city, I will take His Royal Highness down to see the general."
When he came to the barracks, perhaps the two soldiers had already reported it, and Song Heng personally brought his attendants to greet Xiao Ce at the door.
"I don't know that His Royal Highness King Ming is coming, and I am not welcome."
Xiao Ce glanced at him and helped the person up from the ground:
"Get up, you don't have to be courteous to me."
He can also see that this Song Heng is well governed by this Song Heng along the way, and the military camp can be regarded as strict military discipline, not to mention that there is a matter of the people in the city first, Xiao Ce still owes him a favor when he talks about it?
After entering the main tent of the barracks, there were only three people in the tent at the moment, and Song Heng immediately asked straight to the point: "King Ming is here today, I don't know what to think?" ”
For the locals, Xiao Ce naturally won't beat around the bush:
"I heard that the medicinal herbs in several nearby cities are difficult to adjust, I don't know if there can be such a thing?"
Song Heng thought of this, and immediately frowned, although now that the epidemic is now, there is a way to control it, but the medicinal materials that can treat the epidemic have become the biggest problem, not those medical halls lied that there was a shortage of medicines, or the soldiers guarding the city at the gate stopped them: "Yes, don't hide it from Your Highness, the medicinal materials in the three nearby cities have been extremely difficult to call recently." ”
Xiao Ce took out a letter from the cloud sleeve, Li Hanning immediately handed the letter to Song Heng who was standing, and Xiao Ce said:
"Use my handwritten book to adjust, and if there are officials in the city who obstruct it, you can be killed on the spot."
