Painting Doctor Jinhua

Chapter 202: Lanling King's Battle Song, Madness

After the snow, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is filled with morning glow.

Xie Yuxuan stretched, got up and went to the backyard of the mansion, only to see Xiao Jinyu already sitting in the yard and reading again.

In her childhood memory, her elder sister seemed to love reading very much. She had read almost all the books in the Xie family's library. So it was not surprising that she later gained the reputation of being the most talented woman in Southern Liang. It was a habit and interest since childhood.

"Sister, what are you looking at?"

Quietly coming behind Xiao Jinyu, Xie Yuxuan noticed that there seemed to be words about medical cases written on the paper.

Xiao Jinyu turned around and smiled: "It's a medical record, left by my mother... Xiao Luan, the mother of this body of mine. Although there are some strange stories in it, I always feel that she wants to tell me something."

"What kind of strange little story is it?" Xie Yuxuan asked.

Xiao Jinyu handed the book to her and said, "It says that there is a kind of person in this world who seems to have two souls with different personalities living in his body. One may be good, and the other may be evil. These two souls will fight each other for autonomy, and even kill each other. This will cause the person to suffer a lot. Sometimes he doesn't even know what he has done."

Xie Yuxuan's face changed and she looked a little frightened.

"So scary, are there really such people in the world?"

"Yes!" Xiao Jinyu said, "Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang was such a person. Even Emperor Xiaozhao Gao Yan became mentally unstable after killing his nephew Gao Yin."

"Oh, that's still scary. Fortunately, these two people are dead. Then will it be..." As if thinking of something scary, Xie Yuxuan looked at Xiao Jinyu and her face changed.

At this time, Xiao Jinyu was ready to stand up, but at the moment she was about to stand up, she seemed to feel uncomfortable somewhere and uttered a very low whimper.

"What's the matter, Sister?"

Xie Yuxuan went to help her, but when she saw the blush spreading across her fair skin and there seemed to be a kiss mark deep on her neck, she understood what was going on. She couldn't help but blush and sighed: Men are so scary!

"Sister, are you okay? You have been staying in that little house for a whole day and a whole night since the third quarter of yesterday. You were enjoying the flowers and the moon, being affectionate with each other, and you had a lot of free time. But I was staring at one person after another outside the mansion yesterday. I stared at them all day and my eyes were tired!"

"What are you staring at?"

"I can't believe you two know nothing. Ever since the battle at Mangshan, the people of Luoyang have heard of your reputation, Xie Zhen, and Prince Lanling. They have been scrambling to come to the palace to see your elegance and splendor. The young ladies are the most numerous, crowding towards the door like crazy. If I don't glare at them one by one, they will squeeze down the gate of Prince Lanling's palace!"

"I told them both to go back, and I acted like a vicious villain!"

"I think no one will dare to marry me from now on!"

Xiao Jinyu smiled slightly.

"Oh, thank you, Xuan!"

Then his smile faded again, as if he had thought of something important, and suddenly asked solemnly, "By the way, Your Majesty should be arriving in Luoyang in a few days, right?"

After saying this, he suddenly stood up, then groaned as if in pain and was about to sit down again.

Xie Yuxuan was just about to help when a figure flashed over, immediately picked up Xiao Jinyu and ran straight to the warm room.

Xie Yuxuan was stunned and hesitated to speak!

This person is naturally King Lanling!

After Lanling Wang carried Xiao Jinyu into the warm room, he said he wanted to check her body. His gentle appearance was very different from last night.

Xiao Jinyu decisively refused: "No, really no, I'm fine, very good!"

"I am a miracle doctor. I know my physical condition very well!"

"No problem, it's really no problem!"

If this happens again, how can I bear it?

I originally thought that I was just fulfilling his small wish, but who knew that there was a fierce tiger hidden under this handsome and gentle appearance!

"Ayu, I'm sorry, I was too self-indulgent last night and hurt you!"

He apologized softly, and there was indeed regret in Yaoliang's eyes.

Xiao Jinyu's heart also softened.

"Nothing, just remember what I said last night. I'll just take a rest!"

Having said this, he paused and added, "However, Chang Gong, you still need to...control yourself a little in the future!"

"it is good!"

"Let's go to Luoyang City and see if there are any fun places here, or see what's happening outside?"

"it is good!"

……

After the siege was lifted, Luoyang was no longer the lifeless place it was when Xiao Jinyu first arrived. Everything had regained its vitality. Merchants and peddlers could go about their business as usual. Everyone's face was filled with joy of surviving a victory in a great war. Shouts, cheers, and the noise of gongs and drums could be heard everywhere.

I saw a pair of people who looked like brother and sister passing by. The man's demeanor and bearing were quite gentle and elegant, like those of southern scholars.

Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but sigh: "The New Year is coming soon, I wonder how Uncle Xian and the others in Jiankang are doing?"

Although she promised to write to Xiao Xian often after arriving in Qi, the series of events that happened did not leave her much time to think more. In total, she had written no more than four or five letters in the past six months.

Seeing that she seemed to miss her family in the south, Gao Changgong came to a roadside stall and took a few small candy figures. Just as he was about to turn around, the vendor's eyes suddenly lit up and he was shocked. He shouted in surprise: "My dear, you are so handsome, like a god. I seem to have seen you somewhere before?"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly realized: "My dear, you must be Lanling King! During the siege of Luoyang and the battle of Mangshan, a painter drew your portrait, and I am lucky enough to see it!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Lanling is the savior of the people of Luoyang and a great hero of our time. We should all remember the kindness of Prince Lanling in saving Luoyang!"

The hawker's words immediately caused an uproar in the surrounding area. For a moment, the street was crowded with people, all gathering towards this side!

"Prince Lanling! It's Prince Lanling!"

Cheers resounded through the sky!

"Thank you, Prince Lanling, for saving the people of Luoyang!"

Instantly, everyone shouted, and Lu Yu, who was following behind, had only time to order a few guards to catch up quickly and surround the two of them.

In times of war and chaos, once a city is breached and the army enters the country, corpses will be trampled upon by horses. Countless people will be separated from their wives and children and become homeless. Some relatives may never see each other again in their entire lives.

Therefore, this kind of gratitude is self-evident. In the hearts of the people, whoever saves the city is the god in their hearts, and is worthy of their lifelong remembrance, gratitude, and even worship!

Lanling Wang was a little surprised and thought to himself: I should have worn a veil when going out today. But it was no use regretting it. He hurried to Xiao Jinyu, took her hand, and protected her by his side, fearing that the surging crowd would push her down.

This action immediately attracted the attention of the people, and more eyes were focused on Xiao Jinyu, who was still dressed as "Xie Zhen".

"Is this Xie Zhen, the one who played the qin on the top of Jinyong City and destroyed the enemy's morale?"

Suddenly, a very pleasant female voice came from the crowd and asked.

As the question was asked, a beautiful woman wearing a veil and a colorful dress, who made tinkling sounds as she walked, came forward.

She first bowed to King Lanling, smiled sweetly, and then turned to Xiao Jinyu.

"I have long heard of Minister Xie's talent. After hearing the song on Jinyong City, I am very interested in it. I would like to ask Minister Xie for advice!"

After that, he explained: "Lingyi is not talented, but I want to compose a dance for Lanling Wang to break the formation! I don't know how to thank the minister..."

The woman's tone of request was very sincere, as if she was afraid that she would refuse, and there was a begging look in her eyes.

Xiao Jinyu paused for only a moment before answering, "Okay! But I'll only play it once. Whether you can remember it or not depends on you, girl!"

"It's natural!"

The woman's words revealed great confidence. She immediately asked someone to bring the zither and handed it to Xiao Jinyu personally. She also asked everyone to make way for her so that Xiao Jinyu could play the zither on a carriage with fluttering curtains behind her.

The stirring sound of the piano aroused everyone's reverie, as if they were there, seeing an indomitable soldier breaking through the formations of thousands of soldiers and horses!

Many people couldn't help but shed tears, their hearts were overwhelmed!

When the song ended, the woman who called herself Lingyi seemed to still be savoring the experience. She withdrew her gaze from Xiao Jinyu's dancing fingertips and asked with emotion, "It's really a good song! May I ask what the name of this song is?"

Xiao Jinyu glanced at Lanling Wang and replied, "It has no name yet. It was just what I wanted to do. If the girl insists on a name, then let's call it the Battle Song!"

"But it's 'Lanling Prince's March into Battle'?" the woman asked happily.

Xiao Jinyu nodded: "This song might be better if it is played with pipa and drums!"

"Then Lingyi will give it a try. I would like to ask Prince Lanling and Minister Xie to see Lingyi's results and give her some advice someday!"

The woman was about to leave happily, but at this moment she heard Xiao Jinyu loudly say to everyone behind her:

"However, the victory at Mangshan was not the work of Lanling Wang alone. General Duan and General Hulu were both the main generals in this battle. The governor General Dugu even persisted in defending this city for a whole month. And every soldier on the battlefield, although they never left their names, fought bloody battles for the safety of this city and for the people of the world. Every one of them deserves our gratitude and remembrance!"

"For the sake of Prince Lanling and the lives of every general and soldier who is protecting everyone's safety, Xie Zhen hereby implores everyone not to make too much noise. Asking for war on behalf of the people is a great favor from the Emperor. Please be grateful for the great favor from His Majesty of our dynasty!"

These words made the people around them fall silent again, and some couldn't help but burst into tears!

A scholar stood up and said, "We understand Minister Xie's intention. Just as Minister Xie once said to the Zhou envoys in the Taiji Hall, it is not easy to be a monarch, and it is even more difficult to be a minister. If loyalty and faithfulness are not shown, there will be suspicion.

We will never let Lanling Wang and the generals fall into the predicament of being suspected by the king!"

Xiao Jinyu nodded to the scholar.

"Thank you very much, everyone!"

After saying this, she respectfully bowed to the people around her, and those scholars and people also returned the greeting in fear.

At this moment, Xie Yuxuan, Gao Yanzong, Lu Yu, Fenghuang and others hurried over with their guards and saw this scene.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Xiao Jinyu looked at Xie Yuxuan and smiled: "Nothing, go back!"

Then she looked at Gao Changgong again, but saw that Gao Changgong's starry eyes were staring at her without blinking, as if thinking about something, so she walked over and asked:

"What are you thinking about, Chang Gong?"

Gao Changgong smiled slightly and did not answer, but just held her hand tightly. The group hurried back to their mansion in Luoyang.

Two days later, Gao Zhan finally arrived in Luoyang City.

As soon as the emperor's procession arrived in Luoyang, it was immediately greeted with warm and noisy welcome by the people of the city.

I don't know who took the lead, but all the people on the street knelt down in front of the emperor's procession.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

The words "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" echoed throughout the city!

Gao Zhan was extremely happy to hear this, and immediately summoned all the generals in Jinyong City and appointed Duan Shao as Grand Chancellor, Hulugu as Grand Commandant, and Gao Changgong as Minister of the Chancellery.
