Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Li Min's Careful Intentions
In a neat house in the Tsushima Island military port, Lu Hong sat in the yard to taste tea. He actually disagreed with the arrangement of Li Zhi to Tsushima Island because he knew that Li Yan asked Li Zhi to Tsushima Island to actually let him go to a very cruel and bloody place, which was a top secret place. Except for a few of them, only the people on the island knew about the existence of this place.
In order to dispel Li Yan's idea of letting Li Zhi go there, Lu Hong also wrote a letter to Li Yan, but Li Yan wrote in his reply: The Ninth Brother is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he not only needs to see the bright side of the world, but also needs to see the dark side of the world. Anyway, that place is almost useless. After the Ninth Brother finishes reading, it will be destroyed soon, so just take him to see it!
Regarding Li Yan's efforts to cultivate Li Zhi, Lu Hong had no choice but to sigh at their deep brotherly love, but he had no choice but to take Li Zhi to the place called Gui Crying Island. Thinking of this, Lu Hong in the yard sighed and drank the tea in his hand.
The next morning, Lu Hong called Li Zhi out alone after breakfast. Although Caier and Yizi wanted to follow him, Lu Hong kept them very tactfully. After all, places like Ghost Crying Island are not something women can go to.
"Mr. Lu, where are we going?" Li Zhi stood at the bow of a special warship and asked in confusion. Originally, Lu Hong wanted to take him around the island, but he was taken on the ship by Lu Hong.
"Your Highness, don't be impatient. The place you are going to this time is a bit special, but it's not far away and you can arrive in less than an hour." Lu Hong's face was very serious. After saying that, he seemed to think of something, and then he continued. "In addition, you must be mentally prepared, because what you see today may be a bit bloody. And this is also one of the top secrets of His Highness King Qi, so the Crown Prince must keep what you see and hear today confidential!"
Seeing Lu Hong's solemn appearance, Li Zhi became even more curious and immediately agreed to the other party's words. He would never be rumored about what happened today.
As Lu Hong said, after less than an hour of the ship, they came to an island with a strange terrain. The island was full of mountains and caves. When the sea breeze blew, it made a "whimper" sound, which sounded like a ghost crying and howling, so it was named Ghost Crying Island.
The location of this island is relatively secret, and there is no mark on the island on the charts released by the Qi Palace, so few people can come here. Even if a merchant ship accidentally hits it, they will be driven away by patrolling warships and strictly ordered that the information about the island be not disclosed to outsiders, otherwise they will be severely punished by the Qi Palace.
When Li Zhi and his other ship stopped at the only port on Gui Crying Island, Lu Hong immediately got off the ship and took Li Zhi into the island. It was not until this time that Li Zhi discovered that the Gui Crying Island was covered with cliffs on three sides. Only this side could be feasible, and there were 200 soldiers stationed. There was also a main warship and more than a dozen small warships in the port. The defense was very tight.
After passing through the barracks on the dock, the soldiers in the barracks blocked all the guards behind Li Zhi and allowed only him and Lu Hong to enter. This made the guards from Chang'an very dissatisfied and almost started fighting with these soldiers. However, Li Zhi finally stopped them and ordered them to stay here. Then the two of them walked along a concrete road and soon came to a huge cave. What made Li Zhi feel strange was that the cold wind was blowing out of the cave. Before he could get close to the cave, he felt a sense of coldness.
Li Zhi tightened his clothes and then entered the cave with Lu Hong. When he got inside, he found that the entire cave had traces of manual digging, the ground was very flat, and there were many lamps hanging on the walls. Although the light was dim, he could see the road ahead clearly.
The two walked about a hundred steps towards the cave, but found two forks in the cave. An unpleasant smell came from the hole on the left, which made people unable to help but cover their mouths and noses. A cool wind blew out from the hole on the right, and a faint fragrance of flowers came from the wind.
Facing these two strange cave entrances, Li Zhi couldn't help but look at Lu Hong beside him, his eyes full of inquiries. Lu Hong smiled and said, "Your Highness, the road on the left leads to a warehouse, which stores some experimental materials in the warehouse, and the road on the right leads to a valley where a secret base is built to do some very confidential research."
"Oh? What research is so mysterious?" Li Zhi asked with a very interested smile, "Is it possible that Brother Six is making any new weapons?"
When Lu Hong heard Li Zhi’s question, he smiled and said, “Your Highness is wrong. What we are studying here is not a new weapon, but something to save people and cure diseases. But this kind of thing may not look very beautiful, and may even be a little bloody.”
Hearing that Lu Hong had used the word "bloody" to describe this place twice, Li Zhi couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lu, what research is being done here?"
After hearing this, Lu Hong turned his head to look at Li Zhi, and then said with a solemn look: "Human anatomy!"
"Hiss~" Li Zhi took a deep breath after hearing this. He had been to the Medical College in Chang'an and talked with Sun Simiao about the medical college. So he naturally knew what human anatomy meant and what it represented. He was only restricted by the idea that "human death is the greatest" in traditional culture. No one dared to dissect the dead body. What he didn't expect was that his brave sixth brother dared to take such a big risk. And looking at the appearance of this base, I'm afraid that human anatomy research has been going on for more than a day.
Seeing Li Zhi's shocked expression, Lu Hong sighed helplessly and said, "I originally opposed letting you come here by Prince, but His Highness of the King of Qi told me that as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, you have to do some things."
"I... I know!" Li Zhi's expression changed. With his intelligence, he naturally knew the reason why Brother Liu asked Lu Hong to bring him here. In fact, visiting this place was just the second. The most important thing was to tell him through this top-secret base that the emperor not only had to maintain his bright image, but also had some darkness, but he also had to do things that were beneficial to the country and the country.
Thinking of the Sixth Brother's good intentions for him, Li Zhi couldn't help feeling excited. When he was able to become the crown prince, the Sixth Brother made a lot of efforts behind his back. The reason why Caier was able to get in touch with him was also the support of the Sixth Brother. Now the Sixth Brother is even revealing his secret to himself in order to teach him the way to be the king. This kind of care from his brother made Li Zhi feel a long-lost warmth.
But at this moment, Li Zhi suddenly thought of something, and said with a pale face: "Wait, you said that the cave on the left is a warehouse for storing experimental materials, and this is for human anatomy, so that is, this is..."
"That's right, in the cave on the left, there is a warehouse for storing various corpses and experimental equipment." Lu Hong pointed to the entrance of the cave on the left that emitted a strange smell.
As a result, Li Zhi's face suddenly became paler. The cave was stored with corpses, so the smell emitted was naturally the smell of corpses. However, there must be anti-corrosion methods inside, otherwise it would have been stinking. But even so, the smell emitted from the hole still made him feel a little churning in his stomach.
Seeing that Li Zhi's face was not very good, Lu Hong quickly figured out the joints. Although Li Zhi was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he was still only a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old. When he heard that there were a large number of corpses in it, he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. Therefore, he immediately said: "Please move on, let's go to the valley where we are studying!"
"Oh... OK, let's go quickly!" Li Zhi also said hurriedly. When he thought of the large number of corpses stored in the cave next to him, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, especially the smell emitted from the entrance of the cave. He just felt bad just now, but now he was disgusting.
The two entered the cave on the right and walked not far. They soon left the cave and came to a valley isolated from the world. The valley was surrounded by mountains and was very steep, so ordinary people could not climb up at all. In the middle of the valley, there was a solid and bright building complex.
As soon as the two of them walked to the entrance of the valley, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe, black and thin, with a vulgar face came up and bowed to Lu Hong and Li Zhi respectively and said, "Wu Tiande, director of the Anatomy Research Institute, pay homage to Lord Lu, and pay homage to the young master!"
Wu Tiande is the person in charge here. It was he and dozens of subordinates who started this anatomy research institute. Now, after several years of development, the research institute has made great contributions to the human body structure. The human body structure diagrams they drew and the human body models they made have been sent to the medical colleges in Taiwan for teaching purposes in the college. However, except for themselves and a few people such as Li Yan, no one knows their contributions. Even Cui Mengxue, who is in charge of the medical college, does not know that there are such a group of special "doctors" in this world.
"Director Wu doesn't have to be too polite. I brought Mr. Li to you today. I have visited your place, so I have to bother Dean Wu to lead the way!" Lu Hong said with a smile. Although Wu Tiande received the notice in advance, for the sake of Li Zhi's safety, the notice did not explain Li Zhi's identity, so he and Lu Hong both called him the son.
