Ah Qiu nodded obediently. At this time, the maid came in with a bucket of hot water, and Liu Yuzhen also walked in. Guo Song quickly saluted, and Liu Yuzhen stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It looks like he is recovering well!"
"Thanks to Doctor Liu for the good medicine!"
Liu Yuzhen sat down and checked Ah Qiu's pulse again, and looked at the tongue coating. He pondered for a moment, stood up and said to Guo Song: "This little lady has some hidden diseases, which should have been brought from her mother's womb. Fortunately, she is not old and can still be cured. Let's take advantage of the opportunity."
I will take this opportunity to cure her as well."
Guo Song was overjoyed, "Thank you so much, Dr. Liu!"
"How do you plan to arrange for her?" Liu Yuzhen asked again.
"Please ask Huichun Hall to take care of her for two days. I will pick her up the day after tomorrow. In addition, I have two followers who will protect her safety. Doctor Liu, please forgive me!"
"It's understandable. This is the rule of a wealthy family. I can provide a room for your entourage to live in. I don't care about the food."
After Liu Yuzhen finished speaking, he said to the servant woman: "You will be responsible for taking good care of this little lady these two days."
The servant girl quickly agreed, and Liu Yuzhen gave a few more instructions before leaving.
Guo Song washed his face, and Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu also came back at this time. After he had breakfast, he saw that Aqiu also drank porridge, and his complexion improved a lot.
He held Aqiu's hand and smiled: "I'm going back first. Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu will stay here to protect your safety. I gave her money for this servant girl. You can do whatever you want with her. You can rest in peace and recover. My wife and I will come the day after tomorrow."
Pick you up."
Ah Qiu nodded and put Guo Song's hand on his face, "Sir, be careful!"
Guo Song lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. When he saw her shyly hiding under the quilt, he laughed, stood up and walked out of the room.
"When I leave, Aqiu's safety will be left to you two. I will give you a heavy reward when you come back!"
"Don't worry, Commander, nothing will go wrong."
Guo Song took the horse and got on it. He thought for a while and decided not to visit Zhang Guangsheng. After all, this was his private matter. He urged the horse and galloped away from the city.
.........
The baggage team is stationed by the Qingshui River. They will have a day off today and set off again early tomorrow morning.
Xue Tao was very worried. She was very afraid that Aqiu would not be able to survive this disaster. Although Aqiu had not been with her for a long time, less than a year, she loved this young lady who had a temperament similar to her own and sympathized with her life experience.
, and gradually regarded her as his sister.
Xue Tao also knows that Aqiu is facing a life-or-death crisis. Many children like her who are infected by colds end up not receiving timely treatment and die. Will Aqiu suffer the same fate?
Xue Tao spent the whole day and night in fear. Even in his dreams at night, Aqiu was crying to him for help. He saw her being kidnapped by several big black men, which made Xue Tao suddenly wake up from the nightmare.
"Madam, Aqiu will be fine. The young master also knows some medical skills. He will definitely save Aqiu." Xiaoyu Niang comforted Xue Tao.
"I know!"
Xue Tao sighed, "It's all my fault. She was obviously sick and fell ill. I thought she was too tired. If I let her take medicine earlier, she would not be in danger."
No matter how Xiaoyu Niang tried to persuade her, Xue Tao could not let go of the self-blame in his heart.
At dusk, someone suddenly shouted: "The governor is back!"
Xue Tao was refreshed and quickly stepped out of the carriage to greet him. He saw his husband galloping towards him on horseback, with a fierce man hovering above his head.
Xue Tao's heart suddenly tightened. She wanted to know the news, but she was afraid of hearing the unfortunate news.
Guo Song ran to her and reined in his horse, turned over and dismounted and said with a smile: "That's good news, we've been rescued!"
Xue Tao suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled and said: "I'm worried to death!"
Guo Song took his wife into his arms and hugged her, then let her go and said: "Aqiu is indeed in danger. Thanks to meeting a famous doctor and using the right medicine, her body temperature has returned to normal now. She needs to take medicine for two more days to recover.
I asked Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu to protect her safety. If you see her the day after tomorrow, she should be fine."
"Then we leave tomorrow?"
"We will set off early tomorrow morning and arrive in Guzang County the day after tomorrow."
"You must be hungry, husband!" Xue Tao suddenly realized that your husband must have not eaten lunch or dinner.
"I'm a little hungry. If you have something to eat, feel free to grab some."
"There are fried meat patties and millet porridge, specially reserved for you."
Xue Tao pulled her husband back and announced to everyone that Aqiu was safe and sound. Everyone applauded with joy.
Guo Song sat down, and the little fish girl brought him food and a pot of wine. Guo Song was really hungry, so he rolled up the meat cake and started chewing it.
.........
Guo Song immediately arranged military affairs and ordered the army to be on guard outside to prevent sneak attacks by wolves at night.
Before dawn the next day, everyone packed up and set off again. After a day's rest, although they were still exhausted, everyone's spirits were obviously much better. The team began to talk and laugh again, and continued to head west.
After entering the Hexi Corridor, the team's march began to speed up. After another day and a half of trekking, the team gradually arrived at Guzang County at noon.
Less than five miles away from the county seat, Zhang Guangsheng, the governor of Liangzhou, personally came out to welcome Guo Song. Although he was just passing through, Guo Song also brought him 5,000 auxiliary soldiers, which was a great favor.
Guo Song asked the soldiers to build a temporary tent, and ordered Zhang Qianyi and Liangzhou officials to hand over the armor and materials. He then invited Zhang Guangsheng to sit in the tent.
Zhang Guangsheng is about fifty years old, tall and powerful in martial arts. He was a legendary figure in the Tang Dynasty. He saved Wang Sili and Xin Yunjing successively, and later became the governor of Daizhou. Last year's massacre of envoys made him famous again. Although the massacre
The diplomatic envoy was a stain in politics, but everyone in the Tang Dynasty regarded Zhang Guangsheng as a hero. He killed a group of evil devils. Even the emperor Li Yu did not blame him, but transferred him to Liangzhou to continue to serve as the governor.
Guo Song asked the soldiers to serve tea, and Zhang Guangsheng took a sip of tea and said: "Ganzhou is under great pressure this year! Shatuo has increased his troops in Suzhou to 30,000 people last year, and is determined to win Ganzhou. If it weren't for the strong and tall Zhangye City,
Ganzhou was captured last autumn, so if you go to Ganzhou now, you will face a lot of mess!"
"Is it that serious?" Guo Songxiao asked.
"The Ganzhou Army lost three battles in a row last summer, which led to instability in the morale of the army, disunity among the people, and soaring prices in the city. Many Zhangye people and businessmen fled to Liangzhou. I wrote to the emperor twice, requesting a change of commander and strengthening the defense of Ganzhou.
, I have no choice but to tell you. If Ganzhou falls, Liangzhou will be in danger. Governor Guo takes office this time and is in danger. If you need help from Liangzhou, just send someone to tell me and I will try my best to help. I hope that the two of us can join hands to save the city.
The last barrier on the Hexi Corridor."
Seeing his sincere attitude, Guo Song stretched out his hand and shook his hand tightly, "I share the responsibility of guarding the land with the envoy, and I am also willing to share the reputation of opening up the border with the envoy!"
........
Zhang Guangsheng led the soldiers to escort a hundred ox carts away. Guo Song kept watching him go away. At this time, Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu stepped forward and clasped their fists and said: "Miss Aqiu has come back, and I give the order to the governor!"
Guo Song was overjoyed and patted their shoulders, "Thank you for your hard work!"
He quickly came to Xue Tao's carriage and saw a rosy smiling face. Ah Qiu was healthy again.
"It looks like he's fully recovered!" Guo Song stepped forward and smiled.
A Qiu was a little embarrassed, so Xue Tao knocked A Qiu on the head, "I found that this little girl seems to look better than before she got sick."
"It should be that Dr. Liu's medicine is good. He said it can cure some of Aqiu's hidden diseases."
Ah Qiu whispered: "Sir, Divine Doctor Liu is here too."
Guo Song was startled, "Where are they?"
"It seems that we are treating some elderly and children in the back."
Ah Qiu said a little apologetically: "I accidentally let slip and told him the identity of the young master."
Guo Song chuckled, "Is that why he comes to the free clinic?"
When he came to the back, he saw Liu Yuzhen treating a dozen children and prescribing medicine. Guo Song smiled slightly and said, "They don't have big problems, right?"
Liu Yuzhen's face turned red and he said, "Captain Guo, I'm so rude."
"You're welcome. I'm seeking treatment from you in my private capacity and has nothing to do with my official position."
"But I received such a high consultation fee from Governor Guo, hey!"
"That's what you should do. You saved Ah Qiu, how could I not thank you?"
Guo Song waved his hand again, "Stop talking about this, what about these old people and children?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem. The medicine prescribed by the military doctor is very suitable for the symptoms. As long as you have a good rest and eat, you can recover. I brought some medicine for them to use."
After a pause, he continued: "Miss Aqiu is different. She has a hidden disease. There is a problem with her lungs, so her condition is much more serious than theirs. Fortunately, Governor Guo arrived in time. If it took a little longer, it would have been impossible to save her.
"
"Can her hidden disease be cured?" Guo Song asked with concern.
"I gave her a prescription. If she takes the medicine for half a year, she should be cured. The main reason is that she is still young and there is still a possibility of cure. It will be difficult after the age of twenty."
Guo Song nodded happily and said: "Ganzhou also needs pharmacies. I welcome Huichuntang to open a branch in Ganzhou!"
Liu Yuzhen was even more embarrassed, and said after a while: "Huichuntang has a branch in Zhangye! I hope Governor Guo will take care of me."
Guo Song laughed and said, "Okay! I will definitely take care of you."
