Non-dye Emperor Jingchen

?Because of Yang Ziya's injury, the three of them had to stay in Ci County for an extra day.

Xiao Qi's face was expressionless, there should be expressions of anger, resentment, and pain on his face, but these emotions seemed to dissipate into the air overnight.

"Mingshen, where are you going next?" Yang Ziya's wound healed very slowly, obviously it was not conducive to long-distance travel, they had to find a safe place to stay.

Xiao Qi's voice was calm as usual: "Go to Xijing and find Zhao Lingcang. Didn't he say that my Xiao family rebelled? Just right."

Yang Ziya frowned: "I'm afraid my injury..."

"Let's go to Hangzhou to look for Lu Zilou first. With him here, your injury will heal faster." Xiao Qi pondered for a while, and continued: "Feng Mengyou came to look for Lu Zilou, most likely for Military expenses. What's more, they have long wanted to recruit us."

Yang Ziya also felt that this was more appropriate, so he agreed.

After all, the three of them are criminals wanted by the government, and they dare not stay in Lu Zilou's house for too long. Lu Zilou informed the people from Wuwangzhai to ensure that they can reach Xijing safely.

Feng Mengyou naturally knew the news early on, and when he learned about it, he was all smiles.

Zhao Jichen was surprised why she was in such a good mood, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't it just Xiao Qi and Yang Ziya plus that bodyguard? I don't see anything special about them."

Yu Jie murmured: "It's fine if Yang Ziya's martial arts is high, but this Xiao Qi...?"

Feng Mengyou replied: "You don't know, and I don't blame you. What is Yang Ziya, it's just an accessory, the focus is on this Xiao Qi."

She glanced at the two of them, and said slowly: "Although Xiao Qiming only took a part-time job in the Imperial College on the face of it, he has actually done a lot of great things. Do you know why Yang Shu is so favored at such a young age?"

Yu Jie pondered: "Wangfei means there are other articles here?"

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Feng Mengyou's mouth: "I sent someone to monitor Yang Shu day and night, but I accidentally learned a secret. The so-called strategies and theories he presented to the emperor to divert water and stabilize the country were all suggested by Xiao Qi."

Zhao Jichen didn't understand: "Yang Ziya has a better relationship with him, why did he choose Yang Shu?"

Feng Mengyou glanced at him, and smiled: "You have to think about it yourself."

Yu Jie had a pensive look on his face, Zhao Jichen felt a little depressed for a while, and thought to himself, hey, he still has to put on a sophisticated look, and he doesn't know who to pretend to be.

After Yang Ziya, Xiao Qi and others came to Wu Wang's mansion, Zhao Lingcang had to prepare a banquet for reception. After everyone entered the banquet, they first drank a few glasses of wine and exchanged greetings, then they got to the point.

"My lord, you must already know why we came this time." Xiao Qi said.

Zhao Lingcang nodded regretfully: "Mengyou told me that Mr. Yu is loyal and dedicated to the country. It's a pity...I respect him with this glass of wine, and I hope his spirit in heaven can rest in peace."

Xiao Qi was in a daze for a moment, his father covered in blood, his sister died in his arms, all this seemed to happen yesterday.He even spoke with a hint of hatred: "If you don't avenge this revenge, I'm afraid that father will not be able to be at peace under the nine springs."

Zhao Lingcang nodded: "There are two people who are willing to take refuge in us, and it is also a blessing for the common people in the world."

Xiao Qi frowned: "These polite words will be avoided, we can be regarded as people on the same boat now, I don't know how the prince will arrange us?"

Zhao Lingcang said: "This matter, according to my opinion, Mr. Xiao can serve as a counselor under General Yu's tent, and Mr. Yang is very skilled in martial arts, so it is not a problem to lead troops. Of course, this also depends on General Yu's intention. "

Xiao Qi felt that their names were a bit strange, Zhao Lingcang called Yu Jie General Yu, but Yu Jie still called him King Wu.Presumably, Yu Jie's real identity is not known to many people.

Yu Jie smiled and said: "Wu Wang's arrangement is naturally the same. I don't understand anything now, I just learn more from you and General Qi."

Xiao Qi's heart skipped a beat: "General Yu said General Qi, but General Qi's blood?"

Zhao Lingcang nodded: "That's right, it's the old general Qi. The old general was framed by Ning Zhou and had to return home. If he had been there back then, I'm afraid there would be no change in Renhai."

Feng Mengyou was afraid that he would bring up those sad things again, so he rushed up to persuade him to drink. Zhao Lingcang took the wine and continued: "Speaking of which, there is another person coming tonight. Young Master Xiao will be happy to see him."

Xiao Qi was full of doubts: "Who is the king of Wu talking about?"

At this time, a servant came in and said something to Zhao Lingcang, he couldn't help clapping his hands and smiled: "Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, why don't you invite him in quickly."

Xiao Qi looked out the door, only to see a man wearing a blue robe, who looked a little old but was hale and hearty.

"Master!" Xiao Qi couldn't help blurting out, "You weren't in that fire..."

The old man was Xun Gechou, the former royal historian who taught Xiao Qi back then. Five years ago, the Xun Manor was caught in a fire by thieves, and it has become an unsolved case.Xiao Qi mistakenly thought that he had passed away, and even went to pay respects every year.How can I not be surprised, how can I not be happy to see people come back to life suddenly?

Xun Gechou looked at this talented but unwilling apprentice, and felt infinitely emotional: "Unexpectedly, you also thought I was dead."

Seeing that Xun Gechou was still standing at the door, Zhao Lingcang hurriedly said, "Mr. Xun, take your seat first, it's not too late to speak slowly."

Xun Gechou joined the banquet, and Xiao Qi talked about the past, and everyone talked about some strange things in Xijing recently, and the banquet ended.

After the banquet was over, Xiao Qi naturally knew that Xun Gechou still had something to say to him, so he said to Yang Ziya: "You go back first, I will see the master for a ride."

Xun Gechou smiled and said: "He is also infatuated with you. He left the Yang Mansion and came to Xijing with you. You have a good eye." He had already seen the clues about his apprentice and Yang Ziya, so he didn't say anything, just Everyone has their own blessings, just follow the way of heaven.

Xiao Qi blushed, and quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, why did you come out of the mountain, Master?"

Xun Gechou smiled wryly: "If you want to get to the bottom of it, it's not for you. The King of Wu knew about my seclusion in Xijing from somewhere, and has sent people to invite me many times over the past few years, but this time, I am I have to come."

Xiao Qi felt a little guilty: "It's my apprentice's fault, I couldn't even protect my family."

Xun Gechou waved his hand: "You can't blame all of this. You are the smartest apprentice I have accepted."

Xiao Qi couldn't help but said: "It's also the one who is in the worst situation right now."

Xun Gechou smiled: "Not necessarily. Back then you learned the principles of governing the country, you learned it, you memorized it, but you just didn't want to think about it."

After being pointed out by Xun Gechou, Xiao Qi sighed: "I will definitely not be like this now."

Xun Gechou hoped that he would be enlightened, but he didn't expect to use such a thing as a price, so he couldn't help saying: "It's so late, just send me here, go back."

Xiao Qi stood there watching Xun Gechou go away, just in a daze for a while, the master who was in charge of the court back then is also old.

When he returned to his room, he saw Yang Ziya reading a long and short scripture, Xiao Qi couldn't help but say: "Why are you reading a book?"

Yang Ziya put down the book and asked back, "Can't I read?"

"That's not true." Xiao Qi thought for a while and said, "Mr. Yang's poetry is quite profound, I remember."

Yang Ziya was a little embarrassed for a while, he worked hard on poetry at that time, not for anything else, but to coax those women in the Jianghu.The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are often forthright by nature, and it is not known why they prefer these literati who are good at dancing and writing.

Yang Ziya coughed twice, put the book aside and said, "Anyway, I can't understand it, so I just don't read it."

Xiao Qi laughed: "Then you'd better keep watching." After finishing speaking, he turned and went to the opposite room.

Yang Ziya looked at his disappearing figure, and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

Before Yu Jie arrived in Xijing, the drills of this huge army were all led by Qi Xue.Although Yu Jie is only his lieutenant now, Qi Xue knows his identity and gradually delegates power to him.

Not long after Yu Jie arrived, the people under him were naturally a little unconvinced, but he didn't care about it, and he regretted that Zhao Lingcang took over the drudgery of the rebellion, and even envied Zhao Lingcang who spent all his time outside. Zhao Jichen came.

According to his idea, Yang Ziya should have been given a not-so-low position in the barracks, but Yang Ziya went to eat and live with the most ordinary soldiers in the barracks.Although Yu Jie wondered why he insisted on asking for trouble, he didn't understand.

Xiao Qi often comes to the camp, but he is not good at martial arts, and in winter, wrapped in fox fur, he looks like a sickly beauty.

The generals in the army only said that he was sent by their superiors, but they didn't have any respect for him from the bottom of their hearts.

The days went on like this day by day. Xijing is located in the south, and the winter is not particularly long. After the first month, everyone is celebrating.Soon it will be spring.

It stands to reason that the plan for a year lies in spring, and the barracks should train more diligently, but it has only been half a month since spring, and the haze has shrouded everyone's hearts.

plague.I don't know when, some soldiers in the camp began to vomit and diarrhea, and in the next few days, more and more people were sent to the temporary sheds to rest.Everyone knows that this is a disease.

Xiao Qi was already weak, and he didn't go to the military camp these days, and Yang Ziya also went back to live in Prince Wu's Mansion for the time being.

Zhao Lingcang was also very anxious. After training the army for so many years, he saw that he was almost done, but he got into something like an epidemic.

All the famous doctors from Qingzhou and Jingzhou were invited by him, but there was still nothing they could do.Those soldiers who were the first to get sick had symptoms of ear and nose bleeding, so they might not live long.

On this day, Zhao Lingcang knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he asked everyone to come to the front hall to discuss the epidemic.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Among the people present, there are those who are proficient in the art of war, those who understand the strategy of governing the country, and those who are skilled in martial arts, but none of them are good at the way of Qi and Huang.

At this critical juncture, Xiao Qi suddenly said: "I have been weak since I was a child, I don't know how many medicines I have tried, and I know a thing or two about medicine. I wonder if you can let me go through the prescriptions with those famous doctors?"

Zhao Lingcang had no choice but to say: "We can't wait any longer, it's okay for Mr. Xiao to go and consult the prescription together."

Feng Mengyou persuaded, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, we will surely get through this disaster."

Zhao Lingcang sighed, seeing that no matter how much they discussed, they couldn't come up with anything, so he had to give up.

Xiao Qi got permission, and then came to those famous doctors, opened the door to go in, but could only hear the endless noise inside.He couldn't help frowning, seeing someone beside him boiling medicine, he walked over and asked, "Excuse me, I don't know why they are arguing?"

The man glanced at him a few times, and asked doubtfully, "You just arrived? It's strange to see that you have become a doctor despite your physical weakness since childhood."

Xiao Qi heard him admit his mistake, but he didn't explain it, he just asked: "Please tell me about the problem below, brother."

The man looked disdainful, and said: "What other reason can there be? The one on the left is Cao Liu, a famous doctor in Xijing, and the one on the right is Zhang Yuechao, who is famous in Jingzhou for rejuvenating his hands. They just disagree."

Xiao Qi listened carefully for a while, and finally realized that these two famous doctors were afraid of breaking their famous doctor's name.He smiled and asked the person who made the medicine: "Then why are you making medicine here?"

But the man suddenly became interested: "In general epidemics, Qingwenbaidu drink, Baihuhe rhinoceros horn cohosh soup and so on are often used. I also boiled these for the soldiers to try, and there was no improvement. I had a whim yesterday, Adding flavored medicinal materials into it, I don’t know if it will work or not.”

Xiao Qi asked: "I don't know what kind of medicinal material it is?"

The man looked mysterious: "If it is really cured, I will tell you. Hey, it's over, why don't you go to the barracks with me?"

Xiao Qi was very helpless, he wanted to say that he couldn't go, but when he changed his mind, he agreed without hesitation.

When the two arrived at the gate of the barracks, the guard recognized Xiao Qi and said, "Master Xiao, the army is seriously plagued by the disease, you really can't go there."

Xiao Qi frowned: "I just got permission from the King of Wu, if anything happens, I will take care of it."

The guard was helpless, and secretly slandered, if something happened to you, we would have to follow suit.But thinking like this, people have to let go.The guards were also shrewd, so they hurriedly ordered someone to go to Wu Wangfu to inform.

The person making the medicine came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Lord Xiao, forgive me, the villain was the one who was rude."

Xiao Qidao: "It's okay, I just ask my brother's name."

"Caomin's surname is Chen and his name is Muxiang, and Muxiang is also a kind of medicine."

Xiao Qi nodded, and the two walked to the camp where the patients were placed. The soldiers guarding the camp insisted on not letting Xiao Qi in.

He had no choice but to watch from a distance outside. Those soldiers were lying in tents in disorder, some were still conscious, most of them had already passed out, and there were faint bloodstains on their ears and noses. The invisible repression and anger merged together, making Xiao Qi feel a little depressed.

Chen Muxiang fed the bowl of medicine to one of the soldiers, and said to Xiao Qi: "It will take a few hours before we can see the effect."

Xiao Qi remembered the new medicine he added, and asked: "What medicine did you add?"

Chen Muxiang laughed and said: "There are eighteen anti-nineteen fears in the preparation of medicines, which means that some medicines will produce severe toxic side effects or reduce the effect of destroying medicines. The medicine I added is the same as the original medicine. Medicine is the opposite."

Xiao Qidao: "Fighting poison with poison may have a miraculous effect."

"I hope it is as the adults say."

The two were talking, but they heard a voice full of anger: "Xiao Mingshen, are you dying?"

Xiao Qi was stunned, but when he turned his head, he saw Yang Ziya walking towards him with an anxious expression on his face.

"You know that you are weak, so what are you doing here?"

Xiao Qi didn't know what to say for a while, he just said: "I'm worried about the soldiers, I can't do anything for them, and I just can't bear to watch them suffer."

A strange look flashed in Yang Ziya's eyes, and he said: "Then you've had enough of staying now, go back with me." After speaking, he took his hand in front of people: "Look at your hand, it's so cold! have to."

Xiao Qisu's cold face couldn't help turning a little red, but he couldn't break free, so he had to go back home with Yang Ziya.

In the afternoon, news came from the barracks that Chen Muxiang's medicine had taken effect, and the soldiers who had contracted the disease had improved.

Everyone was refreshed when they heard the news, Zhao Lingcang said happily, "Quickly reward that doctor."

Yu Jie said from the side: "Congratulations, my lord."

Feng Mengyou also had a long-lost smile on his face: "Bodhisattva bless you, we have finally passed this test."

Regardless of other people's congratulations, Xiao Qi's reputation in the army has faintly improved after this epidemic, this may be considered an unexpected joy. ?
