Chapter 309 Afterglow (2)

Zhu Yunxiu was drunk and staggered back to the Ganqing Palace.

He had never drunk so much wine, nor had he ever felt so happy.

The unhappiness comes from pressure. Now he is in his age in his later years and is still a willful little boy. But now, his family, country and the world are under his shoulders, and his fear of his relatives leaving makes him breathless.

At this moment, he wanted to take advantage of the alcohol to have a good sleep.

But as soon as he crossed the threshold of the Ganqing Palace, his wine immediately woke up.

There is someone waiting for him.

~~

"When did you enter the palace?"

Zhu Yunxiu sat in the warm room and asked.

The person in front of him was nothing but someone else, but Mr. Xi, who was responsible for the old man's body in the palace.

The old Taoist still looked the same, with a dirty and obscene expression. But his eyes were different from the mouse that seemed to steal oil in the past, but with a full solemnity.

"It's been half an hour since I came in!" Old Dao Xi looked around, "The old Dao has something to say to the emperor!"

Zhu Yunxiu's heart skipped a beat again and waved his hand, "Go down!"

The solemn turtle bent and slowly retreated.

At the same time, the people of the Ganqing Palace also retreated, leaving only Deng Ping standing outside the door.

The drunkenness was a little surging, and the uneasiness in his heart made Zhu Yunyu feel irritated again.

"But Grandpa the Emperor is in poor health?" Zhu Yunxi asked, and then said to the public, "Give me tea, strong tea!"

"It's not bad," Mr. Xi frowned, "but... it's not bad!"

"Hmm?" Zhu Yunxiu sat up straight.

"Since the Emperor went to the palace, the old Taoist has helped him take his pulse every day!" Mr. Xi was rarely smiling, but gritted his teeth and said solemnly, "In recent days, his pulse has been a bit abnormal!"

"Don't keep it a secret, just say it!" Zhu Yunxiu roared in a low voice, "What's wrong with it?"

"It's not bad, it's too good!" Xi Laodao still frowned, like the word "Sichuan", "Your Majesty, you know that, normally, it's great that a person of his age has always had a flat pulse!"

"The pulse is flat and the body is stable, which means that although the old disease has not been cured, there are no new diseases! But now, the old emperor's pulse is surprisingly good. He can work, speak, eat and drink all day long, and his appetite has been rising. He did not touch those fruits and vegetables in the past, but now he has to take a few bites occasionally when working!"

Zhu Yunxiu opened his mouth and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"It's a good thing for a young man to do this. Is it a good thing for him at that age?" As he said that, Old Dao Xi immediately shut up.

Deng Ping walked over with tea, put down the teacup, and then bowed and retreated.

There was no expression on his face, and his steps were average in size, but as he was about to step out of the warm-up pavilion, his steps were slightly slower.

"If the disease is not replenished!" Mr. Xi said to Zhu Yunxi again, "If the life is replenished, the deficiency will be replenished!"

Zhu Yunxiu's hand shook and he could hardly hold the teacup.

Deng Ping outside the door was instantly terrified, his eyes full of fear.

~~

"You mean..."

Zhu Yunxiu was trembling and didn't dare to speak, "You mean the old man...reply..."

"Yes!" Mr. Xi nodded, the folds on his old face were as dark as hills. "The old emperor is not a person who has been lying on his bed for a long time, or to be precise, it is not a return to the light...but the time is approaching, and his body is naturally...."

"How long will it take!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly grabbed Master Xi's hand, his eyes flushed.

"It's hard to say! Maybe ten days and half a month, maybe two or three months." Old Dao Xi was afraid to look at Zhu Yunxi's face, "Actually, the old Dao said three years ago that your old man's body is actually supported by one breath."

"Now that the tone has dissipated, it's just..." As he said that, he still looked at Zhu Yunxi, "It's better to prepare early!" As he said, he sighed again, "The old Taoist dare not say anything else in his life, and he hasn't seen the doctor yet. But your old man... can't understand it! Some people have lost their lives and are dragging them away. Some people are away when they die, and they smile..."

Zhu Yunxi on the opposite side was already petrified, and he didn't listen to Mr. Xi's words at all.

The old man held on with one breath!

What anger?

Of course, I was afraid that his grandson would not be able to support the country, and that he was afraid that his grandson would not be able to sit firmly.

And now, his grandson is a qualified emperor.

Naturally, he...had no nostalgia.

Thinking of this, two lines of tears fell down my eyes unconsciously.

Mr. Xi sighed and couldn't bear it. "Actually, what the old man said is not exactly right..."

"Use medicine!" Zhu Yunxiu suddenly grabbed the other party's shoulder and shook desperately, "Don't you have a secret recipe? You can use medicine, any medicine!"

"The medicine cannot cure life!"

~~

Three days later.

Suck! Suck!

In the Jinan Prefecture post station, Li Jinglong, Deng Duo and Zhao Shi, each of whom was holding a bowl of braised noodles and eating in big mouthfuls.

Along the way, they had such simple meals and refused banquets from important personnel from all over the country. For example, today they rejected the enthusiasm of important personnel in the army such as Shandong Commander and Jinan General.

"Try this!" Li Jinglong put down the bowl and pushed a plate of dishes in front of Zhao Shi, "This is a gua stick. The braised food from Shandong is another taste compared to our Yingtianfu!"

As he said that, he smiled at Deng Duo, "I still remember when I was a teenager, I was ordered to train troops for the first time. I couldn't get used to the food in the camp. But after being hungry for a few days, I could eat half a pound of pork head meat at a time! Haha!"

Speaking of this, he frowned slightly again, "Too light!"

Then he grabbed a white and tender green onion and took a bite.

Zhao Shi was a little stunned. He grew up in the south since childhood. Although he had lived a small family, he still prefers southerners in terms of diet.

"This... is eaten raw!"

"Ah!" Li Jinglong dipped some sauce and clicked again, "Try it, Shandong onions are sweet!"

Deng Duo next to him also picked up a piece of sauce and ate it with a slight sausage. The noodles were eaten with the top.

Zhao Shi was still a little hesitant and dared not take action.

"The dishes in the north are better than the south!" Deng Duo said vaguely, "The more you go, the better the dishes, because the four seasons in the north are distinct. When the vegetable planting ground is resting, it will be full of energy. This dish will be big after storm and frost, and it will be crispy and sweet!"

As he said that, Deng Duo smiled, "When I arrived in Liaodong, the tofu over there was more fragrant than meat. I stewed a bowl of tofu and soaked rice, and made a stack of mustard and pickles and green onion. Wow, there is nothing to compare!"

"I really want to go to Liaodong to see the scenery of my Ming Dynasty's extreme north." Zhao Shi smiled, "I heard that the snow over there is much more than Jiangnan!"

"It's not just big!" Li Jinglong smiled, "After a snowfall, the door of the barracks cannot be pushed open. The barracks of the Liaodong Bianjun have small windows. After it snows, you have to choose the thinnest one to climb out from inside, and then sweep a road outside before you can get out!"

As he was talking, a sudden hurried footsteps came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiaowai's voice sounded, "Head of the family, I'm from the capital!"

"I understand!" Li Jinglong said slowly, put down the bowl, "You can eat!" After that, he stood up and walked out.

When I arrived outside the door, my original smiling face immediately became nervous, "Who came?"

"Big Young Master!" Li Xiaowai handed over the letter, "Six fast horses died along the way, and now the person has only one breath left!"

Li Jinglong found a place with light on his back. As soon as he opened it, his body trembled violently, as if he was struck by lightning.

~

It was late at night and everyone else was asleep, and the lights in Li Jinglong's room were still on.

Deng Duo came in quietly and saw Li Jinglong walking around the ground with a red beard and his eyes were red, like a trapped beast.

"Are you?" Deng Duo asked in confusion.

"I want to go back!"

“Where to go back?”

"Capital!"

"What happened?"

Li Jinglong frowned and shook his head, "I want to go back!"

"What's wrong?" Deng Duo took two steps forward and said anxiously, "You are the imperial envoy. You can't go back to Beijing without the emperor's order..."

"I have to go back, I'm afraid..." As he said that, Li Jinglong slowly squatted on the ground against the wall, covering his face with his big hands, "I'm afraid I'll be too late to go back, so I can't see him being energetic! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Deng Duo was shocked, "But the old lady?" and suddenly woke up, "The Supreme..."

"I have to go back!" Tears couldn't stop dripping along Li Jinglong's fingers, "I have to go back to see him, even if I look at him, I have to go back..." As he said, he couldn't help crying anymore, "I, Li Jinglong, are not a conscientious person, but I am to him..."

"I have never had a father since I was a child, and I don't have the protection of him, how can I...? I...? Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

Deng Duo's mind was buzzing.

But he still kept a little sober and stepped forward and said, "Brother-in-law, you can't go back!"

As he said that, he squatted down and whispered, "It is a serious crime to return to Beijing without the emperor's life. Think about it again, what a serious crime is it to have an affair with the palace ban? Death crime!"

Deng Duo didn't know how Li Jinglong learned about the things in the palace, but what is certain is that it was not an open and upright way.

If the old man really... there is something unexpected.

The emperor issued an order to ask Li Jinglong to return to Beijing to attend the funeral, but if Li Jinglong went back by himself.

Li Jinglong is not the only one who is unlucky.

That's a string!

"Wuwuwuwuwu...I..." Li Jinglong looked up, his nose, tears hang on his face, "I... just want to go back and see him...even if he scolds me!"

"Brother-in-law!" Deng Duo patted Li Jinglong's back, "I know your filial piety, but you are all a family!"
