037, the greedy general (II)

Lord Beidao led the delegation into the capital of Zheng Muro, and lived in a post house dedicated to entertaining state envoys, and was received by officials who were in charge of welcoming Zheng Muru. There were too many goods in the convoy, and the courtyard of the welcome post house could not stop, and it was lined up on the road outside the courtyard, which also attracted many onlookers.

These ox carts were only half of the time when the mission set off, and they were loaded with goods and utensils for Zheng Muroguo. As for the supplies of the caravans, they had already been sold in the cities along the way, and the last remaining batch was also transported to the largest bazaar in the national capital.

Zheng Muroguo's Cangzheng Da led his subordinates to come the next day and count and hand over with the envoy Beidao. Lord Kurama was very surprised, not only did Ba Muru not only send so many goods and utensils, but the monarch also gave an extra heavy gift, and the monarch of the Zheng family and the lords of the court and the central government all had a share, and even he, Lord Kurasho, got a lot of benefits.

The North Dao clan explained to him that this was because the monarch was in a good mood. Recently, the monarch had been unwell, but fortunately he was restored to health by a divine doctor, and the country of Ba was celebrated, and the monarch was very generous as soon as he was happy.

Hou Liao is very generous, but the envoy of the country, the Beidao clan, is stingy. When Kuramasa finished counting and was about to transport the things, the North Dao clan said: "You move the goods and utensils, but the cart and cattle have to be sent back to me, and I have to load the things and bring them back to China." Master Cangzheng couldn't cry or laugh, and turned around and reported the matter to the monarch.

That night, the greeting officer in charge of receiving the envoys set up a banquet in the post house to entertain the Beidao clan, and asked privately during the banquet: "I heard that there is a divine doctor Peng Keng in the country of Ba Mur recently, and this divine doctor has a very close personal relationship with the general, and you recommended it to the king of your country." If you have the chance, can you also refer me to it? I have a close friend who is suffering from a strange illness and would like to ask this miracle doctor to treat him. ”

The Beidao clan was shocked at that time, the tiger baby mixed in the embassy and entered the Zheng Chamber, this is an absolute secret, could it be that this welcoming officer heard the wind? He replied quietly: "After Lord Peng Keng's rule for the monarch. So he said goodbye and went away, and now I have traveled thousands of miles to your country, and I do not know where he is...... How did you know that?"

The receptionist said with some disappointment: "I just heard the news recently, the king of your country met a divine doctor, and that divine doctor had the ability to resurrect the dead and saved the king's life, and the monarch gave him a fief and gave him the title Peng Keng. I thought the doctor was a close friend of the general, and you must know where his mansion is. Now that he has a fief, can't he find anyone?"

Beidao replied: "I also met a miracle doctor in the mountains when I was collecting medicine. Forgot to ask where he lives. But in the kingdom, it is indeed the best relationship I have with this miracle doctor, and it is I who recommend him to the king. As for his back cover, it was where the elixir was collected. It was a treacherous mountain, with only flying snakes and poisonous miasma, but no people. ”

The two chatted for a while, and then the Beidao clan figured out that the welcoming officer didn't know that Huwa had been mixed in the mission, he just heard about what had happened in Bamuro Guozhong recently. This person claimed that one of his close friends was suffering from a strange illness. However, the Beidao clan sensed his aura, and it didn't look like he was healthy and normal, and it was estimated that the sick person was the greeter himself.

This general with a heroic and upright temperament is actually thoughtful. He did not break it in person, but asked the close friend of the receptionist what strange illness he was suffering from? As soon as the receptionist started to grind and chirp, he didn't want to say anything, but then the general ordered the guards to serve wine, which he also brought privately. After the receptionist drank too much, he finally said three words very embarrassed - snake spirit disease.

The North Dao clan wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he held back. Snake spirit disease is indeed a strange disease. It appears from time to time in the three kingdoms of the phase room, the Ba room, and the Zheng room. It is said that one of the reasons for this disease is that he had an affair with a demon woman. But it is not clear whether snake spirit disease is contagious or not, because so far they have not heard of it. Whoever has the snake spirit disease will pass it on to others through daily life.

The cause of snake spirit disease cannot even be determined, and people can only guess based on various rumors.

Most people who suffer from this disease are silent, seeing it as an unspeakable secret, and do not want others to know about it. Even the name "snake spirit disease" is a curse word on Ba Yuan. The symptoms of snake essence disease are very strange, it is not easy to detect at first, and when it is more obvious, snake scale-like markings will appear on the skin of a certain part of the body.

Every time it rains on a cloudy day, or when the night air is heavier in the early morning, the skin and even the flesh and bones near the markings will be itchy and unbearable. Not only that, but patients are also prone to thinking about what is wrong, and sometimes they can't control their impulses and do things that are out of line. When the illness is very severe, there will be all kinds of illusions in front of you, and you can't even distinguish between illusion and reality.

In most cases, snake sperm disease is not fatal, but it only causes a lot of trouble to people, and more trouble to those around the patient. Sometimes, although the snake scales do not appear on the body, the symptoms of snake sperm disease have already flinched, and they are often unaware that they are sick.

If you have snake spirit disease, how serious will it be? Many people have not figured it out. Someone may have a snake spirit disease all their life, but they will still be like that until they die. The condition seems to be latent and, if worsened, could plateau for decades. However, once the symptoms worsen dramatically, there may be two results: one is that the markings will spread throughout the body and eventually lead to death, or the person will become insane and have a noticeable loss of demeanor and sanity.

Many witch doctors believe that the worsening of the symptoms of snake spirit disease is caused by the patient's other problems. Therefore, you only need to pay attention to the body, keep your mind calm and sober, and you don't need any special treatment. That being said, everyone knows that snake spirit disease is a "terminal disease". Although it is not necessarily fatal, it is a strange disease that is difficult to cure. Whoever has this disease is regarded as an unspeakable hidden and will never admit it lightly.

The Beidao clan patted the welcome officer on the shoulder with some sympathy and said, "For the sake of your friend's illness, it may be a bit unrealistic to deliberately invite Lord Peng Keng's family from Bamuro Country to Gantian City. Let me teach you a method, joining the military camp to cultivate the strength of the mountain, although it may not be able to cure the snake essence disease, but it can also make the symptoms as low as possible. If you practice the strength of the mountain and cultivate the martial arts, then the snake essence disease will be cured by itself. ”

The welcoming officer smiled bitterly and said, "If I can cultivate martial arts, no, no, no, if my friend has this ability, why should he seek a divine doctor?

Ordinary healers can't cure snake essence disease at all, but it's not absolutely incurable. If you practice the martial arts in the opening strength, the snake spirit disease will naturally be cured, and it is the same to have the cultivation of the two realms. In fact, the mountain god also said to Huwa that cultivating the strength of the mountain is also a way to explore the path to the sky, but this road is only equivalent to the end of the cultivation of the second realm.

The whereabouts of the tiger baby were not revealed, but such a small incident happened that still aroused the vigilance of the Beidao clan. He and the monarch left the Pengshan Forbidden Land at the same time, and there was no news before. As soon as he returned to the capital, he immediately set out with his mission. The mission went straight out of the country to the capital of Zheng Muro, and did not stop much along the way, and the speed was already quite fast.

Of course, the spread of news among the people is by no means so fast. Now that the greeters who connected the embassy all knew what was happening in the Pengshan forbidden land, it showed that someone had been secretly communicating with Zheng Muguo, and before he led the delegation to arrive, someone had already sent the news to Zheng Muruguo's capital at a faster speed.

Taking advantage of the fact that he drank too much wine, the Beidao clan said a lot of words to the welcome officer. The greeting officer unconsciously told him some of the things he knew, even including the details of some things in the Pengshan Forbidden Land. This kind of news can't be reported by Zheng Muguo's secret spying on rumors, it can only be sent by people in the forbidden land at that time, and I don't know what the purpose is?

This is not a good thing, but who did it? Everyone in the Pengshan Forbidden Land was suspicious at that time!

This greeter is the son of the Zheng family's national soldiers, so this person may have heard some secrets at home. If it weren't for the fact that he suffered from snake spirit disease and was poured too much wine by the Beidao clan, I am afraid he would not have revealed such information lightly.

Although the Beidao clan remained silent, they had decided that they must privately remind the monarch after they returned. There are indeed people in the country who are plotting to make a move, and the secret action is not small!

The next day, Zheng Gu, the monarch of the Zheng family, summoned the envoy of the Ba Mur country, the Beidao clan, in the palace. The Beidao clan expressed Hou Li's gratitude to Zheng Gu in public, and presented Hou Li's additional gifts to Zheng Gu and Zheng Muguo Zhuzheng. Zheng Quan was very happy, this time he made a lot of money, and he set up a banquet in the palace that night to entertain the delegation led by the Beidao clan, which was also the highest state banquet in Bayuan.

Zheng Gu heard Master Cangzheng talk about the small things of the Beidao clan yesterday, and also knew that he had made a lot of money along the way, so he deliberately asked in public: "Your Excellency, I heard that more than half of your envoy team is caravan vehicles, and the gain from this mission to the country is not small...... Those who don't know, do you think that I have asked for a lot of goods from your country, and that the queen of your country made you do this?"

How can such a thing be said in public at a state banquet? This is to embarrass the Hokuto clan and even the Bamuo country. All the attachés of the mission bowed their heads in silence, their faces showing shame, while the ministers of the Zheng family let out a burst of laughter.

The general was eating meat, but he wiped the oil from his mouth with his cuff and replied in a loud voice: "I have to thank the king for sending me, it is really a good errand to envoy to your country! Zheng Muroguo has made so much money, why do you have to let me, the messenger who delivered things, have some meat to eat? Don't look back and make people laugh, I came to deal with Zheng Muguo, and I only suffered losses but no benefits, so who wants to come again?" (To be continued......)
