Chapter Sixteen [The Trouble of the Marshal] Part 1
A rapid knock on the door woke Tang Lie up. He yawned and looked out the window. It was already three o'clock in the morning. The crazy night last night had delayed his time for consultation. It seemed that there was already a queue of waiting patients outside.
Tang Lie quickly got up and put on his clothes, took the shortest time to wash his face and brush his teeth, then made the bed and cleaned up the traces left by Sima Feifei, and then came to the door and opened it.
The people standing outside the door turned out to be Sima Tianfeng and Lang Yuan. Tang Lie stayed there for a while. He had a guilty conscience and secretly complained in his heart. He must have discovered his affair with Sima Feifei.
Sima Tianfeng smiled and said: "What? Mr. Tang, don't you welcome us in?"
Only then did Tang Lie come to his senses and hurriedly called for the two of them to come in and sit down.
There are no traces of pain from Lang Yuan's appearance. It seems that his injuries have fully recovered. Lang Yuan laughed and said: "We have known about Mr. Tang's business for a long time, but General Heter suddenly asked us
He was transferred to the military camp outside the city for military training. He has been living, eating and sleeping in the military camp for the past few days, and he can't get away from him at all."
Sima Tianfeng looked at the repaired courtyard, nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that everything went smoothly, Mr. Tang."
Tang Lie said: "I asked someone to sort it out briefly."
Lang Yuan asked Tang Lie about the status of the clinic.
Tang Lie smiled bitterly and said: "There are quite a few patients, but unfortunately most of them have minor problems. They are busy here and there and don't make much money."
Sima Tianfeng laughed: "I discovered this problem just now. The people lining up in front of the door are all ordinary people. If you continue to operate like this, it will be difficult for you to make big money."
Lang Yuan nodded sympathetically and said: "Your consultation fees are too low. Although there are many patients, it is difficult to increase your income."
Tang Lie said: "Chunhui Clinic has just opened, and I want to make it famous first so that more people know about this place."
Sima Tianfeng said: "Mr. Tang is smart, why didn't you think of the key to this matter? If you want to get famous as soon as possible, you have to treat more ministers and famous people. Only in this way can you maximize your chances of success in a short time."
to enhance your reputation.”
I can't tell that Sima Tianfeng is a good publicity expert.
Lang Yuan said: "I have spread the word in the military camp about Mr. Tang's healing for me. It won't take long for the generals in the army to come here."
Sima Tianfeng said: "Just being a big brother is not enough. If people with considerable influence in the empire can see your medical skills, your fame will soon spread throughout the entire imperial capital."
Tang Lie smiled bitterly and said: "With my current reputation, who else with considerable influence will take the initiative to seek medical treatment from me?"
Lang Yuan smiled and said: "Do you dare to treat Marshal Heite'er's illness?" The Heite'er he mentioned was one of the three marshals of the Xuanwu Empire and had a very high prestige in the Xuanwu Empire's army.
Tang Lie asked curiously: "What's wrong with him?"
Lang Yuan said: "His eyes hurt, he couldn't see light, and his vision was blurred. He went to many doctors but couldn't cure it."
Eye diseases were not Tang Lie's specialty. He thought for a moment before saying, "I have to see him in person to know if it can be cured."
Lang Yuan smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle. He made an appointment with Tianfeng and me to go hunting in Mengshan Mountain in the afternoon. You can go with us and help him check his eyes."
Tang Lie suddenly remembered that the two of them had been here for so long, but no patient came to see a doctor in the clinic. He asked a little strangely: "What's going on today? It's almost noon, and there are no patients!"
Lang Yuan and Sima Tianfeng laughed at the same time: "Your patient was driven away by us. If you can cure the eye disease of Commander Heitier, the princes and nobles of the entire imperial capital will come to you soon, and you will not care what these common people do."
What?"
Tang Lie secretly sighed in his heart that the classes in this world were so clearly defined. The sufferings of ordinary people were not taken seriously by these noble generals at all, let alone the slaves at the lowest level. When he thought about it, he was just a person who strayed into another world.
Ordinary doctors are not saviors. On the premise of saving their lives, they try to make their lives as comfortable as possible, so why bother about others.
Although Tang Lie had practiced equestrian skills in the past, riding a unicorn was still a completely new experience for him. Lang Yuan briefly explained the key points of the operation, then took the lead and rushed forward.
Sima Tianfeng gently patted the back of his mount. It was a black unicorn with silver horns on its head and a dazzling bright silver mane. He smiled at Tang Lie.
Said: "You follow first, I will hold the line for you from behind!"
Tang Lie was sitting on a silver unicorn. Although the unicorn had a saddle, it had no reins or bridle. Without Tang Lie's command, it was already chasing after the Wolf Abyss.
At the beginning, its strides were small and its walking was quite steady. But as soon as it walked out of the noisy Panlong Street, its speed suddenly accelerated. Tang Lie's body stumbled due to its sudden acceleration, and he hurriedly hugged it tightly.
neck, the unicorn accelerated and ran wildly.
Lang Yuan turned around and laughed: "Let's compete to see who can reach the foot of Mengshan Mountain first!"
Tang Lie secretly shouted that it was unfair. It was his first time riding a unicorn, and he was obviously at a disadvantage compared to them.
Unexpectedly, Lang Yuan commanded the unicorn to slow down and stop there side by side with Sima Tianfeng.
The unicorn under Tang Lie's crotch showed no sign of stopping and was still running at full speed. When Lang Yuan taught him the key points of control, Tang Lie didn't pay attention to it. Now he had forgotten all about it and had no choice but to forget about it.
All the tricks for dealing with horses were brought out. No matter how he shouted, the unicorn still ran as usual, throwing away Lang Yuan and Sima Tianfeng in the blink of an eye.
Sima Tianfeng smiled and said, "Brother, are you still not convinced?"
Lang Yuan said: "I just don't believe that my edelweiss will lose to your black rose!"
"Then let's compare!" Sima Tianfeng said loudly without showing any signs of weakness.
The two of them suddenly grasped the unicorn's horns at the same time, and the two unicorns rushed forward instantly like two flashes of lightning, one black and one white.
Tang Lie made a rough estimate and found that the running speed of this unicorn should be about 80 miles. If it were driving a sports car, there would be no sense of speed at all, but now it is riding on a unicorn, let alone it.
Instead of taking the main road, he chose the narrow and rugged path, sometimes jumping around, sometimes making sudden turns. Tang Lie's arms were wrapped around its neck, and his body was pressed tightly against its back, for fear that if he was not careful, he would be killed by this animal.
Throw the unicorn out.
The reason why Lang Yuan and Sima Tianfeng dared to let Tang Lie go first was because the unicorn was quite spiritual. As long as the location was specified in advance, it would take Tang Lie to the destination.
Tang Lie gradually adapted to the rhythm of the unicorn's running, and his mood was no longer as nervous as it was at the beginning. He turned around and saw that Lang Yuan and Sima Tianfeng, one white and one black, were rapidly chasing in his direction.
Coming. The competitive spirit in his heart was suddenly aroused, and he loudly shouted into the unicorn's ear: "Run faster, wouldn't it be very shameful for us to start so far first, and then be caught up by the two of them?"
The unicorn ignored Tang Lie's words and still maintained a steady speed. Tang Lie saw that Lang Yuan and the two were getting closer and closer to him, and couldn't help but feel anxious. He clamped his legs around the unicorn's waist and shouted loudly.
Said: "Drive!"
It's a pity that the unicorn didn't agree with him. Tang Lie helplessly patted the unicorn's golden horn: "It's an unsatisfactory thing..."
Before he finished speaking, the unicorn's front hooves suddenly rose up, and Tang Lie was almost thrown off its back. In a panic, he grabbed its long horn with one hand and its golden mane with the other.
The hairy unicorn hissed in pain, spread its hooves, and rushed forward like lightning.
Tang Lie could only feel the wind whistling in his ears, the vegetation on both sides retreated rapidly, and the scenery in front of him became blurry.
When Lang Yuan and Sima Tianfeng were about to approach Tang Lie, they saw Tang Lie suddenly accelerate and immediately noticed that something abnormal had happened. The two did not care to continue the competition and drove the unicorn to catch up with Tang Lie as fast as possible.
, the two unicorns under their crotches were much younger than the steed that Tang Lie was riding, gradually closing the distance between them and Tang Lie.
Tang Lie quickly calmed down from the initial panic. If he wanted to get out of the predicament, he first had to find a way to stop the unicorn from moving forward. Recalling that just now he touched the unicorn's horn, which caused it to suddenly run wildly, Tang Lie
Hunter deduces that its horn is the key to control.
The big hand tried to hold the unicorn's horn and pulled it back hard: "Stop!"
Lang Yuan shouted loudly: "No..."
It's a pity that Tang Lie was all focused on the unicorn and didn't pay attention to what he said.
The unicorn's long horn was touched again, and it suddenly turned ninety degrees. Before Tang Lie could sit down, he started running wildly again.
A red mountain appeared in front of them, which was Mengshan, Tang Lie's destination today. Tang Lie's eyes suddenly widened, showing an extremely frightened look. The road 200 meters away from him suddenly stopped, and a wide gap appeared.
A deep trench of about twenty meters.
"Stop! Stop!" Tang Lie shouted at the top of his lungs.
The unicorn still did not slow down, and in the blink of an eye it had arrived before the broken wall. Tang Lie could clearly see the situation of the trench. This trench was at least about a hundred meters deep, and underneath were all jagged red rocks. If
If it falls, it will definitely end up being shattered to pieces.
"Stop!" Tang Lie was so frightened that his voice changed.
Unexpectedly, the unicorn kicked back its hind hooves with all its strength, bent its front hooves, and leaped towards the opposite side.
"It's over! I didn't expect that I, Tang Lie, would die in the hands of a beast like you!" Tang Lie closed his eyes tightly.
Lang Yuan and Sima Tianfeng arrived at the edge of the broken wall almost at the same time. The unicorns under their crotches stopped in unison, with their four hooves firmly nailed to the rock, and they no longer dared to move forward.
The two of them looked at the silver arc of the unicorn in the sky in surprise, with incredible expressions on their faces.
Tang Lie's body paused for a moment. He opened his eyes and saw the unicorn successfully leaping over the ditch and landing steadily on the rock on the opposite side. After this rush, the unicorn seemed to have calmed down.
Go down and stand there, not moving forward.
Tang Lie looked behind him in shock. When Lang Yuan and Sima Tianfeng saw that he was safe, they waved to him from a distance and said, "Mr. Tang, you stay where you are and wait. We will come to pick you up right away."
Turn around and take a detour from the side road to where Tang Lie is.
Tang Liesheng was afraid that the unicorn would be frightened again and run wildly, so he carefully climbed down from its back. Thinking of the scene just now, he was frightened and also very excited. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and patted the unicorn for warmth.
His back said: "You beast, why don't you know how to treat guests?"
The unicorn's golden mane suddenly stood up, its apricot-leaf-like ears trembled, then stood up, and its eyes were filled with an inexplicable look of terror.
Tang Lie was greatly surprised and asked, "What's wrong with you?" The unicorn suddenly turned around and ran wildly towards the hillside on the right, leaving Tang Lie there alone.
Tang Lie couldn't help but cursed: "Insane beast!" He found a red round stone and sat down, patiently waiting for the arrival of Lang Yuan and Sima Tianfeng.
The vegetation around him trembled slightly. At first, Tang Lie thought it was his imagination, but immediately the ground began to shake.
There was a loud noise in the woods behind him, like the sound of trees breaking and falling.
Tang Lie looked back in shock, only to see a rhinoceros the size of a tank running towards him in a panic among the smoke and dust.
In Tang Lie's impression, he had never seen such a huge rhinoceros. The rhinoceros was five meters long and about two meters high. Its thick armor shone in the sun and was smooth.
Liang. The huge horn in front of the mouth is sharp and sharp, enough to crack mountains and crack rocks. A pair of small eyes turned blood red, obviously in a rage.
