"Yes!" Qin Wu responded and immediately gave the order.
"Since the general is about to leave, I will say goodbye to the general here today." King Yan then stood up and raised his hand to salute the Duke.
The reason why he has been staying by the general's side these days is not because of his own leisure. On the contrary, every extra day he delays here, the more likely he is to be discovered, and there are still things that need him to go to in Mizhou.
processing, and preparation.
But now that the general has woken up safely, he can naturally go back with peace of mind.
It was impossible for Duke Zhen Guo to persuade him to stay at this juncture. He nodded, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, please be careful along the way."
"General, please take care. I am waiting for your good news in Mizhou."
The two of them stepped out of the front hall together, when King Yan's entourage came quickly, holding a box in his hand.
Only then did King Yan remember: "I had almost forgotten that my men had retrieved this Ganoderma lucidum from the Northern Desert last night. This is a thin medicine that can cure the general's poison. Although it was much late, it was no longer available."
It’s very useful, but it’s also good to keep it to replenish the general’s health.”
After the King of the Northern Desert saw the letter that his messenger had brought, he ordered his people to offer a reward to the tribe for information on the whereabouts of this medicine, and indeed one plant was found.
But the search for the medicine could not be found immediately. It was delayed for seven or eight days——
Fortunately, the general's poison was cured in time.
The Duke of Zhen Guo signaled Qin Wu to take the box, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you have taken care of my affairs..."
Although the medicine is late, the intention is not late.
Since this medicine was obtained from the King of Bei Mo, King Yan must owe the King of Bei Mo a favor this time. After all, there is no free help in the world, especially for those in high positions.
However, at this juncture...it's not necessarily a bad thing to owe a favor.
If the other party is willing to let you owe this favor, it at least means there is no strong opposition and it is also an indirect gesture of goodwill.
The Northern Desert is adjacent to Mizhou. If the prince raises troops in the future, even if he does not talk about help, as long as the conditions given are appropriate, he will at least be safe...
There is no need for him to remind you of this, the prince can naturally imagine it.
"General, there is no need to be polite to me." King Yan saluted again: "Dingchen will take his leave first."
The Duke of Zhen Guo looked at Qin Wu and said, "Go and see the prince off. Remember to be careful and don't let anyone notice you."
"Yes! I obey my orders!" Qin Wu's voice was like a loud bell, and his spirits were high.
But the Duke of Zhen heard the noise and frowned and scolded: "Why are you always so startled?"
This guy is banging gongs in his ears!
Qin Wu scratched his head when he heard this and laughed "hehe" a few times.
He is happy to be sent by the general!
Qin Wu sent King Yan's master and servant out from the back door of the post house.
King Yan mounted his horse, raised his hand to Qin Wu, and then rode away.
The sky is clear after the rain, the sky is clear and broad, the weeping willows on both sides of the road are like new, the greenery is everywhere, the golden sun shines on the slightly damp green brick ground, and the horses' hooves are walking northward with wisps of golden light.
Zhou Shilang and his party also quickly packed up and set off to continue their journey.
Qin Wu rode a horse in front of him to open the way, but the Duke of Zhenguo did not try to be brave. He did not need Xu Yun and Xu Mingshi to persuade him, and he got into the carriage on his own. In the face of important events, you should recharge your batteries. This is very simple.
The way of using war.
A group of chariots and horses headed towards the capital in a mighty manner.
…
Five days later.
When they had entered the palace, they were stopped by the guards in front of the forbidden palace.
"I have something urgent to report to Your Majesty!" The man got off his horse and was dressed in black clothes stained with dust.
While speaking, he took out the token from his arms and showed it to the two guards.
The two guards looked at each other and immediately opened the palace door and let them go.
However, the rule of not riding horses in the inner palace could not be broken, so the man in black abandoned his horse and ran quickly, holding the token and no one dared to stop him.
"His Majesty……"
In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Qingming had already rested.
The outcome of the Zhen Guogong incident has become clear, and the elixir refined by the imperial master is indeed effective, and the attacks of headaches have been greatly alleviated recently. All these factors have stabilized the emperor's mood a lot.
Until then, Li Ji gently woke up the person next to the dragon bed.
Emperor Qingming opened his eyes. Although there was only one candle left in the palace, it was still so bright that it made him frown: "...What's the matter?"
Looking out the window again, it was still dark at night, and this hour woke him up——
Emperor Qingming returned to his thoughts and was very agitated. Could it be that there was another riot somewhere?
"Your Majesty, we have an urgent report." Li Ji tried his best to speak softly, but there was already a hint of uneasiness in his eyes: "It seems that he came back from the east..."
The person who brought the news had been traveling for several days, and now he was kneeling in the outer hall, looking as if he couldn't get up. If he was in such a hurry, I'm afraid it wouldn't be good news...
Emperor Qingming also realized what was unusual, immediately got up, put on his clothes, and strode towards the outer hall.
"See Your Majesty..."
The man in black knocked his head on the ground and did not dare to lift it up.
Seeing that this was a gesture of apology, Emperor Qingming frowned: "Is there any news? Yue Pei has successfully obtained the military talisman and led his troops back to Beijing?"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yue Qian is already on his way back to Beijing... Also rushing back are Zhou Shilang and Zhen Guo Gong..."
What does it mean that the Duke of Zhen is also back together?
Emperor Qingming narrowed his eyes slightly, filled with chills: "Is it a person or a corpse?"
News that he was seriously ill had already come back, and it was said that he would not be able to make it through now...
However, I heard the man in black reply: "Your Majesty, Duke Zhenguo left Dongyuan City with the army only a few days ago, and he woke up on the way..."
"Where is the military talisman?" He asked hurriedly with a serious expression on his face: "Yue Pei can get the military talisman!"
"Your Majesty, I haven't..."
The man in black pressed his forehead against the bright and cold gold brick, and his voice was tight and trembling: "President Qi Yueqian failed to assassinate the Duke of Zhen. He has been detained by the people ordered by the Duke of Zhen. He is now on his way to the capital."
Go back..."
"..." Emperor Qingming's pupils were shaking, his face was livid, he almost gritted his teeth and said word by word: "A bunch of trash...can't even take down a dying person!"
After the news that Xu Qiwei was seriously ill spread back to Beijing, he had already determined that this plan must be foolproof...
But now he came to tell him that Xu Qiwei was awake! He didn’t even get the military talisman!
And Xu Qiwei actually arrested his people, what is he going to do!
"There is no cure for the poison in his body...how can he still be alive!" The emperor's eyes at this time were like a furious jackal with fear seeping out of his heart.
"I don't know what's going on...I just know that Duke Zhen Guo is accompanied by a doctor of unknown origin..."
What doctor can cure a poison that has no cure!
Is there something wrong with the poison prepared by Qiao Bing?!
Or maybe there was a traitor in the poisoning process?!
