When Li Wuchang returned home, the subordinates of the Li Mansion really brought him an invitation card, Lu Xuandong's, inviting him to go to the foot of Nanshan Mountain for an outing the day after tomorrow.

"Alas, this Lu Xuandong always wants to make the wind and rain. Li Wuchang took the invitation card and felt helpless in his heart.

Li Wuchang was about to go to the study to flip through the nameless medical book brought out from the Martial Arts Pavilion, thinking about learning several kinds of medicine for self-defense, such as the forbidden medicine of the Qi Scattering Pill, he must study it carefully to see if he can improve it, so that it can also be useful for people above the fifth grade, in that case, he can also have some confidence when he encounters a master.

There are also harmful drugs such as cartilage scattering, paralysis, forgetfulness pills, and three-day death pills, which can also be learned, which is an excellent self-defense weapon.

"Is the fourth young master here?" a voice came from outside.

"Hello Steward Ye, the young master is in the house. Xiao Ru's voice.

It turned out that Steward Ye was here.

Li Wuchang returned the same way, and when he came to the hall, he saw Steward Ye, who looked sweating profusely and in a hurry, which made Li Wuchang feel strange.

Steward Ye is usually quite personable, he is not in a hurry or impatient, and he rarely loses his temper like this.

"Yo, Ye Lao, what's the matter?" Li Wuchang said with a smile.

"Fourth young master, the master commanded, let you rush to the east courtyard as soon as possible...... By the way, remember to bring the gold pin. "Steward Ye didn't have time to talk nonsense, and directly explained his intentions.

Is this who is sick?

Li Wuchang was in such a hurry as Steward Ye, so he didn't talk nonsense, and said, "Let's go." ”

After that, he walked in the direction of the east courtyard, which was very neat.

When he came to the side hall of the East Courtyard, Li Wuchang found that there were many people gathered there, in addition to his family, there were also a few acquaintances.

Zhou Chengwang and Shen Tongguang, they looked very anxious.

Isn't Shen Tongguang Zhou Sheng's lieutenant?

Shouldn't this time be fighting the Khitans in the area of Anle County, Jizhou?

How did you get back to Beijing?

And also came to the Li Mansion.

"Here, the fourth young master is here, let's let go. Ye Rong opened the way in front.

Li Wuchang was about to greet everyone, Li Lingwu said directly: "Don't talk nonsense first, go to the room to see the old lady of the Zhou family?"

Is Mrs. Zhou sick?

At this time, he had no time to think about it, and he couldn't ask, because Li Lingwu looked very anxious, Li Wuchang sighed, and followed Li Lingwu into the guest room.

Zhang and Liu were waiting next to the bed, and the old woman of the Zhou family was lying on the bed, as if she was asleep.

"Go check it out. Li Lingwu commanded.

Li Wuchang took a deep breath, walked to the bed, sat down, observed the old lady's face slightly, settled down for a while, and then took her pulse.

After a while, Li Wuchang had come to a conclusion and said, "This is an angry attack." ”

Zhou Chengwang was very anxious and said, "Impermanence, grandmother?"

Li Wuchang said: "I said, what did you say to the old lady? She was obviously very stimulated by this, for the old man, this situation is very dangerous, and one will have to do a funeral if he is not careful." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces turned white with fright.

Li Wuchang hurriedly said: "This time I am lucky, I am next to me, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

After a pause, he instructed Steward Ye: "Please ask the old butler to get some hot water and get a new towel...... Send someone to Caiyunju to find my nurse and get a few bottles of tranquilizing pills. ”

The tranquilizer pill was specially made by Li Wuchang for his nurse, which nourishes qi and blood, calms the nerves and calms the heart, and the effect is very good.

Ye Rong hurriedly went down to prepare.

Li Wuchang took out the needle bag and gave the old lady the needle without hurrying, everyone knew Li Wuchang's habits, so they all kept quiet and didn't dare to disturb him.

Steward Ye's movements were very fast, the hot water and the tranquilizer pills were ready, placed on the table, and stood aside, waiting for orders at any time.

Li Wuchang seemed to be at ease, still unhurried, and even hummed a small song.

Everyone looked at Li Wuchang's hanging appearance, although they were speechless, but they knew that everything was under control, otherwise Li Wuchang would not be so easy.

After a long while, Li Wuchang finished applying the needle, and then sat on the stool, quietly observing the change in the old lady's expression, and after about a quarter of an hour, Li Wuchang nodded slightly and began to collect the needle.

"Medicine, another glass of warm water. Li Wuchang stretched out his hand.

Steward Ye hurriedly handed Li Wuchang a bottle of medicine, and Zhou Chengwang poured a glass of water.

Li Wuchang pulled the stopper, smelled it, poured two of them, fed them to the old lady, and then gave her another sip of water, sent the medicine down, and asked the maid to wipe the old lady's face with a hot towel.

After doing this, he touched the old lady's pulse, turned around and said, "The old lady will wake up soon, can you tell me what you just said to the old lady? Let me be mentally prepared, and I can stabilize the old lady later." ”

"My father is in danger, and my grandmother is worried...... Zhou Chengwang explained.

Li Wuchang nodded, probably understanding what was going on.

It should be related to the robbery of grain and grass in Jizhou, the Khitans attacked fiercely, and Zhou Sheng was not a vegetarian, and he held Anle County to the death, but the logistics couldn't keep up.

The imperial treasury and the inner treasury are very tight, and it takes a lot of expenses to exterminate the Japanese and bandits, and it is estimated that it will take a while to gather another batch of grain and grass to send to Jizhou.

But time waits for no one.

Once the logistics cannot keep up, the consequences can be imagined, and everything is caused by the attack on grain and grass.

Shen Tongguang returned to Beijing at this juncture, just to ask for help.

Zhou Sheng since the recovery of Anle County, has been Anle County as a fortress, built a lot of defense facilities, spent a lot of financial and material resources, the rear resources are almost exhausted, once Anle is lost, Jizhou's Yuyang, Zhuo County, Beiping, Shanggu and other places will collapse on the whole line, when the Beihai King guarded Liaodong, Liucheng, Yan County will be the enemy, maybe the whole army will be wiped out.

At present, the overall situation of Jizhou is presided over by the King of Beihai, once the King of Beihai secretly retreats or the whole army is annihilated, not only Jizhou will be lost at that time, but also Dayan's morale will be greatly hit.

Jizhou is the starting place of Dayan, there are more than 20 counties, and the territory is equal to Yongzhou, Liangzhou and Yangzhou.

Once Jizhou is lost, Khitan and Goryeo will have more room for development, and I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future.

Therefore, Anle County cannot afford to lose.

It is a pity that some officials in the imperial court thought that the northern part of Jizhou was already a bottomless pit, and suggested that they should give up first, and establish a new defense line in the southern part of Jizhou in the Yanmen, Boling, and Hejian areas based on the terrain, and then slowly draw it.

There are not a few people in the DPRK and China who hold this kind of idea.

And His Majesty is still thinking about it.

If His Majesty listens to this kind of advice, then An Le and Liaodong can only give up, and Lu Yuanke, the king of Beihai, will of course obey the holy decree and retreat.

And Zhou Sheng...... According to Zhou Sheng's temper, even if he received the holy decree to retreat, he would definitely not leave Anle and the people in the Yuyang area to run away without permission, and would only use all his strength to fight to the death with the Khitan, without logistical support, there was only a dead end.

At present, the three ministers of the cabinet have not yet agreed on a unified opinion, and everything depends on His Majesty's ruling.

Shen Tongguang thought that Li Lingwu and Zhou Sheng were on good terms, and this time he came to see if he could ask Li Lingwu to explain his interests to His Majesty and quickly support Anle County.

The old lady was worried about the safety of her son Zhou Sheng, so she came over with Shen Tongguang, thinking about begging Li Lingwu.

Li Lingwu and Zhou Shengnai are old friends, and he did not hide it from the old lady, with his understanding of His Majesty, it is estimated that His Majesty is likely to give up the northern part of Jizhou.

When the old lady heard the bad news, she fainted on the spot.

That's why Steward Ye went to Caiyunju to invite Li Wuchang.

After Li Wuchang knew the reason, he sighed secretly.

At this time, the old lady opened her eyes and came to her senses, Li Wuchang smiled at her and said, "Old lady, are you okay?

The old lady was a little lacking in spirit, and when she saw Li Wuchang, she showed a reluctant smile and said, "Little brother Impermanence, it seems that this time it is thanks to you again." ”

Li Wuchang said with a smile: "Old lady, General Zhou's fortune is great, how can it be so easy to have an accident, you must hold on at this time, don't let General Zhou be distracted again, in case the news of your fainting is spread to Jizhou by someone with a heart, isn't that asking for General Zhou's life?"

Now I can only stabilize the old lady for the time being, so as not to be stimulated again.

The old lady is also used to seeing big scenes, and she will not be easily fooled by Li Wuchang, so she took Li Lingwu's hand and said: "Lingwu, you grew up with that kid Zhou Sheng, at this time, you must persuade Your Majesty, and you must not give up the northern part of Jizhou...... Otherwise, alas, otherwise ......"

Li Lingwu said: "Old lady, you must be careful of your body, otherwise Brother Zhou will not be at peace on the battlefield." ”

As for the promise, he did not dare to give it, because he could not influence His Majesty's decision.

Seeing this, the old lady got up from the bed, knelt on the ground with a plop, and cried mournfully: "Ling Wu, I beg you, you go and talk to Your Majesty, otherwise Zhou Shengke will not be able to live......"

Everyone would have expected that the old lady would come to this hand, and they were all frightened.

Doesn't this make everyone lose their lives?

Li Wuchang's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly helped the old lady up, and said: "Old lady, don't get excited, my father will definitely find a way, you also know that General Zhou is a square person, and he has offended many people, and there must be many people waiting to see his jokes at this time, and now His Majesty's attitude is unclear, and he is afraid that it will be self-defeating to open his mouth rashly." ”

Then he glanced at Li Lingwu.

Li Lingwu hurriedly said: "Yes, old lady, you can torture the younger generation just now, don't worry, I will definitely not watch Brother Zhou die in Jizhou like this." ”

The old lady's eyes were glazed, and she grabbed Li Lingwu's hand, and tears were about to flow out.

Li Wuchang had no choice, gritted his teeth and said: "Old lady, don't worry, the kid will give you a package ticket, and I will definitely find a way for you to come out, if Your Majesty really gives up the northern part of Jizhou, I promise you, even if you send someone to tie up, you will also tie General Zhou back to Chang'an, I will do what I say." ”

When the old lady heard this, she regained a trace of her spirit, and said incoherently: "Yes, yes, it's okay for you to send someone to tie him back, and it's okay to tie him back." ”

This idea is obviously unrealistic, but the old lady can't care about it that much.

Li Wuchang continued: "Old lady, don't get excited, things have not yet reached the point of no return, after all, this matter is not trivial, Your Majesty needs a little time to fully consider it, although some of the grain and grass in Jizhou were burned by bandits, but there are still a lot left, General Zhou can hold on for a while for the time being, we can take advantage of this time to find a way." ”

Under Li Wuchang's good words, the old lady finally calmed down, but her expression became sluggish again, Li Wuchang had no choice but to hold her well, and then pricked her a few stitches to let her sleep.

When the old lady fell asleep and died, Li Wuchang felt like a battle.

"Father, it's not a way to go on like this, the old lady is well-informed, and she is not so easy to be fooled, she must find a way to come out, otherwise her body will collapse soon, I can only stabilize her temporarily, and I can't cure her fundamentally. Li Wuchang explained.

Of course everyone knows.

Heart disease also requires heart medicine.
