Chapter 29: Going Again
Li Xiaofei drove to the General's Mansion by himself and was stopped at the gate of the mansion.
Li Xiaofei shouted loudly outside the mansion, "Prince Taifu Li Xiaofei wants to see the general!"
Wang Fu was not at home at this time, but was summoned into the palace by the emperor.
Qian Jingzhi and Dong Xing were playing chess in the house when they heard Li Xiaofei's shout, and they came out together to greet him.
"You guys are so unruly. This is Mr. Li, how can you block the door?"
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, please follow me into the mansion."
The two of them invited Li Xiaofei into the house, one on the left and the other on the right. "Mr. Li, General Wang was summoned by the emperor and will not come back until later today. If it is convenient, we can pass the message on your behalf!"
"Excuse me, you two. Li came today because he heard that there is Dr. Dong in the general's residence and wants to ask him to come to my residence for emergency treatment. My wife, Wang Ruoyun, is suddenly suffering from an emergency and is in critical condition."
The tea cup Dong Xing was holding fell. "Master Li, what are you talking about? What happened to Mrs. Wang? I am Dong Xing. I don't dare to be a miracle doctor. Without further ado, I will pack the medicine box and go with you!"
Li Xiaofei hugged Dong Xing excitedly, "Li will definitely repay sir for such a great kindness!"
Dong Xing was a little embarrassed: "Master Li, there's no need to be like this. I understand how much you love your wife, so don't delay any longer!"
Li Xiaofei was driving, and Dong Xing opened the curtain in the car: "Mr. Li, you must be familiar with Mrs. Wang's symptoms. I know you also know some medical skills!"
"With a weak pulse and two lumps of qi and blood, the oil is about to run out! But ordinary blood and qi replenishing methods may not be effective!"
"Master Li, even you are helpless, how can I do anything else?"
"Do not be humble, Divine Doctor Dong. I have only been back for a few days, but I have heard from children in the capital that my husband has the ability to bring the dead back to life!"
"Master Li, is it too late for me to get out of the car now? If Dong is helpless, he may become a dead soul under your sword!"
"Dr. Dong, Li is not that kind of person, but as soon as I met you, I felt at ease. Moreover, Li only said that his wife had an emergency, so you were more anxious than me."
"It's not easy for Mrs. Wang. She took your son all the way from Yuzhang to the capital. Don't worry, I will do my best to treat Mrs. Wang!"
When he came to Li Mansion, Wang Ruoyun smiled when he saw Dong Xing, "I recognize him. He wanted to take Zhan Fei as his apprentice, but it's a pity that Zhan Fei went to the Imperial College!"
"Madam is very knowledgeable. If you can't study medicine or become an official and make a fortune, it's better to go to the Imperial College! Haha, if Madam can still be in such a good mood, Dong can be sure of it now!"
Li Xiaofei also smiled, "Finally we have found the right person. Divine Doctor Dong only writes prescriptions. Even if it is dragon liver and phoenix marrow, I will get it!"
Dong Xing also smiled at Li Xiaofei, "This prescription contains several herbs that are not found in China. The first is ambergris, the second is peacock gall, the third is three-tailed falcon, and the fourth is rhinoceros horn. These four are added with ginseng and angelica.
Four kinds of Polygonum multiflorum cicada can be shed to cure Mrs. Wang!"
Li Xiaofei twitched his fingers, "I have collected some ambergris, peacock gallbladder, and rhinoceros horns overseas, but I have never seen this three-tailed falcon. I wonder where it can be found?"
"The three-tailed falcon is in the Qiyun Kingdom on the eastern sea, but there are not many of it. It is said to be their sacred bird. Whether you can get it depends on Mr. Li's ability!"
"In order to cure Ruoyun, let alone a divine bird, I will pray for him!"
"Mrs. Wang, you can't rest at home because of your illness. You have to travel thousands of miles to find the three-tailed falcon with Mr. Li. You can cure it by taking medicine every day!"
Several people were shocked, "Mr. Dong, Sister Ruoyun is already very weak. Another bump in the road might not be good."
Hong Rui had some doubts about whether this doctor was a liar, and Murong Qing also found it unbelievable: "Dr. Dong, ordinary people can't stand this bumpy ride. Sister Ruoyun even vomited blood and fainted, and she still has to walk thousands of miles. This..."
"Mrs. Wang, can you do what I said?" Dong Xing ignored them and asked Wang Ruoyun
Wang Ruoyun stretched out her hand, "Sister, I believe in Dr. Dong, I can do it! I will follow you to the ends of the world!"
Dong Xing nodded, "Very good, then there is no problem with this matter. Dong said goodbye."
"Doctor Dong, don't leave in a hurry, we haven't thanked you yet!"
"There's no need for these polite things, besides, I don't do this for a living!
Mr. Li and his ladies, please feel free to look for the three-tailed falcon!"
Wang Fu, who was summoned, thought he was going to talk about rectifying military affairs, but he never thought that the emperor asked him about selecting concubines for the prince and the king of Jin.
Wang Fu was unprepared for the moment, and he was not married, so he blushed from time to time.
The emperor saw his embarrassment and said, "Haha, I know you are at a loss. Have you really never touched a woman?"
Wang Fu hesitated, and the emperor waved his hand, "Okay, you have already told me the answer. What I mean is that the prince's mother, Queen Xiao, is from the Xiao family. If you marry the prince, you can no longer be from the Xiao family. The mother of King Jin is Concubine Pei.
Even the Pei family cannot choose Princess Jin from the Pei family. So if there is any virtuous and virtuous woman in your Wang family, you can recommend it and I will give it priority!"
Wang Fu was a little panicked, mainly because he became uneasy when he mentioned women. "My lord, the Wang family, the women of the Wang family are too rough and have naughty temperaments. I fear that they will disappoint His Majesty's high expectations!"
"What General Wang means is that the royal inner palace is so tight that it can't train your Wang family's daughter well?"
"I don't dare. I have no intention of doing so. It's just,"
"It's nothing. I just want you to recommend. It doesn't mean that it has to be your Wang family! I will also choose people from the Xie family, Chen family, Lu family, Yang family and other families! You are too nervous. By the way, you
What kind of woman does General Wang want to marry? He has not married a wife for so many years. This is not in line with the etiquette of this dynasty!"
"Your Majesty, I will only dedicate my loyal heart and this body to Your Majesty in this life. Loyalty to the Emperor and patriotism are the greatest etiquette!"
"Come on, your flattery skills are as good as Li Xiaofei's. I'm surprised. You can even betray your friends and attack your family, but you can only be obsessed with one woman! I even doubt whether I really understand you!
"
"I am terrified. Everything I do is for the sake of Daliang. I am loyal to Your Majesty. I have no complaints or regrets!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Are you a general, or are you talking about military affairs? Do you think Zuo Sanxiang's expedition to the Western Regions can bring surprises to Daliang?"
Wang Fu murmured in his heart. The emperor never believed anyone easily. This time he spent several years of taxation to support five thousand elite troops to attack the Western Regions. Naturally, he wanted to have a good result. However, Wang Fu's response to the Changping Protectorate was
With his understanding, Zuo Sanxiang is very likely to achieve nothing or even be ruined and still have five thousand elite soldiers.
But at this time, he could not dissuade the emperor, so he had to think again and again: "As long as the Changping Protectorate fully cooperates, Zuo Sanxiang will definitely make great achievements. However, Zuo Sanxiang is arrogant and arrogant, so he may not be able to compete with the Changping Protectorate."
The remaining ten thousand miles are as bright as the dust! But even if you can't achieve great achievements, you can still declare the power of our country, intimidate the tribes in the Western Regions, and support the king of Gaochang!"
The emperor smiled, "It seems that you neither understand Zuo Sanxiang nor Yu Wanli, and don't know whether you are really confused or not! There are two thousand people in the Changping Protectorate, which consumes half of the national treasury's food every year. I'm here
Now I dare not repair the palace, nor accept concubines, nor go out on patrol, all because I have no money! But Yu Wanli spends a huge amount of money and food from the country every year, but he only serves as a watchdog, which is so disappointing to me. And the third prime minister of Zuo
This man is unruly and rebellious, but I can still control him around me. If he leads troops outside, I'm afraid he won't obey my orders! He won't discuss anything with Yu Wanli at all!"
Wang Fu's face changed greatly, "Your Majesty, if Zuo Sanxiang is really like this, there will either be a conflict with Yu Wanli, or his subordinates will mutiny, which will damage your Majesty's reputation!"
"Hahahahaha, you don't understand this. Zuo Sanxiang is proud of his superiors and never humiliates his inferiors. Moreover, he has been a member of the public in his early years, so there will be no mutiny. I'm afraid the relationship between him and Yu Wanli is not a disagreement, but a fight.
! Well, we just want to see who is more powerful, the frontier troops of the Protectorate, or the Fengxiang Army under your command and Zuo Sanxiang’s rabble. No matter who wins, I will get a real elite army, and I will not give any military expenses in the future.
So much!”
Wang Fu was stunned on the spot and did not dare to answer. People said that the emperor was ruthless and ruthless. Today, his impression was once again deepened. He originally thought that only the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were looking forward to something happening in the Western Regions, but he did not expect that the emperor also had the same thoughts. Then he thought about how many troops he was still in charge of.
Ma, Wang Fu was sweating on his forehead.
"Wang Fu, what's wrong with you? I had no choice but to do it. If everyone was like Feng Xiangjun, who was self-sufficient in farming, I wouldn't have made such a move! Although there are virtuous kings who don't love unworthy ministers, they just eat the salary from the court.
If you squander the taxes paid by the people of the world, if you don’t do anything, you have to give up your position! Of course, I’m not talking about you, I’m just
For the Western Region, the Western Region needs a good change of blood!"
"Your Majesty is wise and considers the people of the world and the country. I admire you very much! I am willing to resign from the position of general, disarm and return to the field, and burn incense and pray for your Majesty day and night!"
The emperor shook his head, "You have misunderstood. I am relieved of you, for no other reason than that, because you have no heirs, other generals and ministers may rebel, but you are the only one who cannot! You can be your general with peace of mind, if
The day you figure out how to get a wife and have children, I will naturally cease to be your general! By the way, go and visit Li Xiaofei's house for me and urge him to go to sea!"
Wang Fu was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refuse, "I thank your Majesty for your kindness. I obey your decree!"
Wang Fu came to Li's Mansion and quietly told Manager Sun that he was coming to see Li Xiaofei. Manager Sun was a little surprised. General Wang had always refused to bow his head. Why did he become so polite and humble today?
After Manager Sun reported this to Li Xiaofei, Li Xiaofei did not hesitate and went out to invite Wang Fu in person.
When the two met, Wang Fu blushed extremely, but Li Xiaofei laughed out loud, "Ah Fu, you still love to blush so much. Come and come, I was thinking of finding an old friend to catch up on the past before leaving, and you happened to be here!"
Wang Fu replied with a few polite words, and Li Xiaofei patted him on the shoulder, "Don't remember the past anymore. Am I not doing well now? It's you, the boss is no longer young, and you haven't gotten married yet!"
"Brother Fei, can you please stop urging us to get married? The emperor is urging us to get married, and you are also urging us to get married, making me seem like your son!" Wang Fu became a little anxious.
"Hahahaha, don't mention it anymore, don't mention it anymore, I know you are an infatuated person! I also know that you came here today to see why I, a person who is going to sea, still refuse to leave! Brother, I will leave tomorrow!"
As soon as he heard that Li Xiaofei was leaving again, Wang Fu felt relieved and said, "Brother Fei, please take care of yourself when you go out this time and come back early!"
"Have I not left yet? By the way, haven't the grudges between you and the Xiao family been settled over the years?"
Wang Fu coughed for a while, "I went to Xiao's Mansion some time ago, but it was for official business. I saw Cong'er, she looks just like her mother Cai Die!"
"It's good, we're not together forever anymore. It's better to dissolve enemies than to end them! Speaking of which, I'm also responsible for Cai Die and you. If I hadn't had a high fever for three days, those accidents wouldn't have happened!"
Wang Fu waved his hand, "Forget it, it's all fate. Once I see that Cong'er is living a good life now, I feel that I have no regrets!"
"It is inevitable that there will be regrets in life, so why not have a glass of wine right now, come, come, come, we will not come back until we are drunk today!"
Two old friends, countless grievances and grudges, cannot be sorted out after a drinking session. After being drunk, they wake up and drink again, and it is already dawn when they wake up again.
The emperor had already sent Wang Fu to urge the departure, so Li Xiaofei and his wife had no choice but to obey the order.
Li Xiaofei was very decisive, "Sister Hongrui, please follow us on the road again, take care of Ruoyun, Qing'er is very skilled in martial arts, and stay here until Zhanfei comes home during the holidays so that he can teach him swordsmanship. With you here, we all feel more at ease!"
"Okay, I'll just stay here, but you guys have to take good care of Sister Ruoyun during this bumpy journey. When you get to Qiyun Country, remember to send someone to report back!"
"Well, fortunately, this three-tailed falcon is in Qiyun country. It is not difficult to find this medicine. Fortunately, we have the guidance of the knowledgeable Doctor Dong!"
"Don't be so happy so early. If you can't find the elixir, will you be able to get back to the capital?"
Li Xiaofei made a silence gesture, "Don't talk nonsense. Jin Liangwei may have been following us. The emperor doesn't want too many people to know his secret!"
"Forget it, let's clean up. Actually, there's nothing to clean up. I'll go make some medicine for Sister Ruoyun!"
Hong Rui walked away to find the maid to cook the medicine. Murong Qing stayed in the room and looked at Wang Ruoyun who was sleeping soundly. "Brother Fei, no matter what happens, if you three go there, you must all come back! What kind of magic medicine is that?"
Even if you can't find it, you have to come back within six years. If there is no news from you after six years, I will lead Zhan Fei to find you!"
Li Xiaofei lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way. I can definitely find this elixir!"
Chapter completed!
