Chapter 129 The Whispering of the Mountains
Early the next morning, Kanto called everyone to Dr. Ding's house.
At this time, there was a strong smell of medicine in Doctor Ding's room, and Yang Xiaoyang saw that Doctor Ding's face was much better, and he became the strong man who could scare children into crying with a glance.
"Hahaha, everyone, the medicine has been made yesterday!" Doctor Ding didn't sell Guan Zi at all, and said loudly.
"Very good, very good...... Ruan Ren said tremblingly, his excitement hard to hide.
Although Yang Xiaoyang was pleased, he saw a basket of medicinal herbs in the corner of the room, which he picked back yesterday.
"Doctor Ding, the medicinal herbs you picked yesterday are useless?"
Doctor Ding was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the bamboo basket, scratched his head and laughed: "Hahaha, it was a test medicine, who knew that it was too lucky, just put the second medicinal material into the medicine and it worked, and the effect was excellent, and the rest was naturally not used." ”
He no longer paid attention to Yang Xiaoyang's questioning eyes, and said to everyone: "Brother Guan has written to Taixian Ling, and the medicinal materials are estimated to be delivered in two days, and the decoction of the medicine will be taken by the infected person, and it should be cured in one day." ”
Ruan Ren immediately said a few good words in tears, and bowed deeply to Doctor Ding.
"Doctor Ding found a cure for the poor village, and even tried the medicine himself, so great kindness, Ruanjia Village doesn't know how to repay!"
"Hahahaha, the village chief doesn't have to be like this, it's my job to treat the sick and save people. If the village chief really doesn't want to go, why don't you give me a few bamboo baskets, I see that the bamboo baskets are very strong, and it will be more convenient for me to go into the mountains to collect medicine in the future. ”
Everyone was amazed when they heard this, and bowed to Doctor Ding, all expressing their admiration.
Two days later, Yang Xiaoyang came to Li Congwen's bed with the medicine that had been decocted by Ju Ye.
"Why is this medicine so dark?" Li Congwen looked disgusted.
"You don't care about him, drink it quickly, let's leave after drinking. Yang Xiaoyang looked impatient.
"Brother Congwen, when you get better, I will accompany you to eat frozen pears!"
Do you want to eat frozen pears yourself?
Li Congwen drank the medicine with a bitter face, and drank a few more sips of water before the bitter taste in his mouth was washed down.
"Well, I don't know how to sprinkle me with a handful of frosting. Li Congwen's face was twisted together, and he said casually, "It's almost summer, let's go to Lushan to escape the heat earlier." ”
"What's delicious in Lushan?"
"Why don't we build a grass house in Lushan? ”
As soon as Li Congwen wanted to join the discussion between Xiao Di and Ju Yeqi, he heard Yang Xiaoyang say: "I want to ask something before making a decision." ”
"Ask what?" Li Congwen was surprised.
Yang Xiaoyang didn't answer, and walked out of the room to find the crippled man lying on the easy chair.
"Cripple uncle, I want to ask you something. ”
"I was a Chu soldier. ”
Yang Xiaoyang was stunned, "I didn't want to ask this ......"
The cripple tapped on the armrest's right arm and paused, "Ask." ”
"I wonder where you got this trick from?"
The cripple chuckled and teased, "What?
"It's not. ”
The cripple turned his head to look at him, saw that he looked serious, and raised his eyebrows, "Back then, I was cut off by someone in Wanzhou, and after barely saving my life, I was taken by a lieutenant and asked if I wanted an arm."
I was depressed at the time, so I casually agreed, but I didn't expect that the captain actually made me a machine arm and a prosthetic leg out of cow tendons. Unfortunately, when I tried to look for him again, I was locked up somewhere else and couldn't find him. ”
"Where's Wanzhou?"
Although the lame man was surprised by Yang Xiaoyang's eagerness, he still replied: "Oh, Wanzhou, according to this, go up two thousand miles against the current." ”
Seeing that Yang Xiaoyang was lost, he continued: "Do you want to find that master? Even if you go to Wanzhou, you can't find him, because he followed the Shu army later, and I don't know where he ended up." I don't think you're missing arms or legs, what are you looking for that master?"
Yang Xiaoyang smiled bitterly and didn't answer, he looked at the lame man's arm hidden under his sleeve, and felt that the master was really magical.
An arm has not broken after nearly 20 years, and the force it can emit is extremely large, and it is easy to control.
He wondered, could he ask that master to make a body for Xiao Di?
................................................
Twenty-five years of Anyan, autumn, capital, Qi Nian Palace.
"Your Highness, Li Xiang asks to see you. ”
Zhao Qinian, who was reading a book, was startled, and hurriedly walked outside the hall to invite Li Jinglan in.
"What is the matter with Li Xiang here?" Zhao Qinian asked with a smile.
Li Jinglan didn't like it and snorted coldly, "How can your first prince come out to welcome your courtiers?
Seeing Zhao Qinian bow his head, he sighed, "I came here this time to discuss something with His Highness." ”
Zhao Qinian retreated left and right and poured a cup of tea for Li Jinglan, "Li Xiang, please speak." ”
"A few days ago, His Royal Highness Sun Sheng, the prince of the Northern Prince, led 50,000 iron cavalry from Northern Xinjiang to attack the Qi Palace. ”
"What, King Qi has already been defeated?" Zhao Qinian said in a lost voice.
"The King of Qi was connected to the Nine Clans. ”
Zhao Qinian stood up abruptly and asked tremblingly, "Why is this here? Who gave the order?"
Li Jinglan glanced at him and took a sip of tea, "It's an order from His Royal Highness Gongsun Sheng himself." ”
Zhao Qinian sat down on the chair, still stunned.
"Brother Gongsun Sheng, I saw him when I was a child, isn't he only sixteen now?
Li Jinglan sighed, "That is a genius, but Your Highness, it is not this matter that I want to discuss with you. ”
"What else?"
Li Jinglan's voice was a little lower, "Although the King of Qi has been defeated, the armor of Qi has joined forces with the other four kings, a total of 90,000 troops from Jiangbei, and will march in the near future." ”
Zhao Qinian forced himself to come back to his senses and asked eagerly, "What should I do?"
"There are many coalition forces, but there is no need to worry. Now that our cavalry is far superior to the enemy, we only need to let most of the Royal Guards defend the city, and the rest will cooperate with the cavalry to attack. But the person who commands the cavalry should have both courage and strategy, and the cavalry in the northern frontier led by His Royal Highness Gongsun Sheng does not need us to consider, but there are not many people in the court who can command the Yongliang cavalry. ”
Zhao Qinian hurriedly asked, "Then who can take on this great responsibility?"
"Xie Feng, the squire of the military department. ”
................................................
Li Congwen was dragged away by Yang Xiaoyang that night after taking the drug, on the grounds that the place in Ruanjia Village was too evil, and the place he was going to had not changed.
On the night Yang Xiaoyang and his party left, Kanto also left.
He brought the record of Dr. Ding's treatment of the epidemic and prepared to report it to Taigui, and Taigui would report the matter to the imperial court, and the imperial court would have a reward at that time.
Doctor Ding carried a bamboo basket up the mountain, saying that he wanted to collect some herbs for his own use.
Tonight the moon is dim and the sky is dark and cloudy. The road in the mountains was difficult to see, but Doctor Ding was not affected at all and walked extremely fast.
He walked to a remote place in the mountains and whistled.
Just a moment after the whistle, a man in black walked out of the forest, not as big as Doctor Ding, but he looked extremely indifferent.
When the man in black saw Doctor Ding, he said, "A Twelve, how are things going?"
Divine Doctor Ding snorted coldly, "My business is naturally done, but it is not complete. A thirteen, Dushan Town asked you to catch a child, but you couldn't catch it?"
"You only gave me two days to prepare, and in the end I only had time to transfer five people, and you also know that Riying's ability. ”
Doctor Ding didn't pursue it, but just sighed: "There are too many variables this time, if you can catch Taizheng and be saved and cured by me, Taigui will definitely be grateful to me, it's a pity."
And that Li Congwen is also a strange person, I deliberately didn't cure his secret wound, just to ask him not to drink, so as to delay the onset of the epidemic virus that I planted on him. I didn't expect this person to drink even if he didn't want to die, which caused the epidemic poison and almost ruined me.
But fortunately, he didn't have a seizure until we arrived at Ruanjia Village, otherwise I might have been exposed about poisoning the village. Now that I have cured the epidemic and Li Jinglan's young son, this credit Taigui should report truthfully, but I don't know if I can enter the court as an imperial doctor. ”
"Are you sure you can succeed when you become a royal doctor?"
Divine Doctor Ding smiled contemptuously, the expression on his face was quite cold, "I will take revenge for killing the door, with my medical skills, as long as Yang Qi is sick, he will definitely die." ”
Jia Thirteen didn't say much, turned around and said don't forget the cultivation of Ren Killing, and left.
Doctor Ding patted his face, and turned into a bold man with a benevolent heart, picked a few herbs at random and threw them into a bamboo basket and went down the mountain.
Today, there will be a banquet in the village to celebrate the cure of the epidemic, and he will also buy people's hearts at the banquet to increase the probability of his successful entry into Beijing.
......
Not far to the east of Ruanjia Village, Yang Xiaoyang and Li Congwen sat on the wheel and slowly walked forward in the not-so-bright moonlight.
At this time, Li Congwen's face was no different from usual, and the red spots on his hands had long since faded.
His head followed the jolt of the carriage little by little, and he complained, "Why rush at night?"
Yang Xiaoyang ignored him, he just wanted to leave that village as soon as possible.
The carriage drove out of the dense forest, and the line of sight widened a lot. Yang Xiaoyang saw a small lake not far away, and there was a faint fire by the lake.
He turned his head to look at Li Congwen, saw him frown lightly and nodded, and then set up the carriage and drove towards the lake.
This lake is not very large, but I don't know if it is because of the night or because it is backed by a big mountain, which makes people feel a majestic atmosphere.
The fire by the lake was not very busy, but there was some firewood next to it, apparently deliberately by the person who made the fire.
There was a man sitting by the fire facing the lake, who should have heard the movement of the carriage, but did not respond.
As the carriage approached, Li Congwen made a silent gesture to Yang Xiaoyang with a serious face, and got out of the car softly, and several people followed behind suspiciously.
Li Congwen walked to the man and stood still, first glanced at him, and then looked up into the distance with his hands down.
"Brother Congwen, what are you looking at?" Xiao Di Fei asked suspiciously, as he flew next to him.
Li Congwen shook his head slightly, smiled but did not speak.
Yang Xiaoyang looked at the person who was sitting, and saw that he looked and dressed very ordinary, about twenty-five years old.
And next to him was an object covered in black cloth, square, half a man tall and half arm's wide.
It took a long time for the man to open his eyes, and Li Congwen smiled when he saw this and asked, "What are you doing?"
