Title: Journey to Ezhu

Summary: He replied flatly: "The master is dead, I am martyred, and I cannot protect him."

The person who came came was clean, dressed in a green skirt, and his eyes were bright. There were several pedestrians behind him, and the carriage rumbled by.

I said to the patient after the consultation: "It's nothing serious, don't eat hair when you go back." The patient went out, and I hurried to the door of the medical hall to welcome someone in: "Master Liang, please come in. Why don't you come to Hemu personally?" Infirmary?"

"You don't have to call me your lord soon," said Liang Zeren, who was an official in Tongping Zhangshi, as he entered, "I'm going to retire." I closed the door of the medical center and stood aside, while he sat on the consultation chair and said : "Li Ping, I'm here to ask you something."

I said: "Lord Liang has a great favor for me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Liang Zeren smiled: "I will go back to Lizhou for the last time before I retire. Lizhou is plagued by another plague. You and Wang Huaiyuan have cured the epidemic, so I want to take you with me. The travel documents are ready, and we will travel far away in three days." , pack it up."

"I would like to follow Master Liang's instructions. Three days is enough for me to close the medical clinic." I asked, "Should I go directly to Lizhou?"

"Go south to Ezhu, cross the Huangshui River, take Wangzhou Yutan City, and then go east to Lizhou." The 39-year-old Master Liang shook his head. Powerful. The transshipment envoys can’t move the grains stored in the seven states along the Huangshui River. When I met you in the eighth year of Shenglin, when I met you, there was 5 taels of disaster relief money allocated to Lizhou by the imperial court, which was escorted by my former colleague Guo Bing. I left Yutan City. I used to have some friendship with Shen Lingbin, Lizhou’s loyal army commander, and he agreed to help me exchange silver for the grain stored in Lizhou, and transfer it to Ezhu to help the hungry people.”

I listened to the general idea and asked him: "Maybe I need to bring more people. Do I need to send a letter to Mr. Liang's residence after I make the decision?"

"No need. No matter how many people come down, we will let you go." Lord Liang opened the door, "At most, I will have more horses. This time, I am in a hurry and ride horses all the way. Li Ping, you will suffer a lot."

I smiled: "It will take some time to get used to it."

Mr. Liang walked out: "I'll see you at Maoshi, Donghua Gate in three days."

I go back to the kitchen to cook dinner.As soon as Wei Yan landed, I told him, "I'm going to travel far in three days, first from Ezhu and then from Yutan City to Lizhou. You probably want to go with me, right?"

"Beside Master." Wei Yan nodded happily, "Master knows me."

I poured the dove into the pot, and the smoke rose up.

On June [-]th, Xu's jade shop sent someone to send a message asking me to go, and I touched the child Siwen: "Go to the yard with black tallow trees by the river in Caoshi, and ask Shen Lian to come to the Hemu doctor in the future Museum, saying that Li Ping will travel far in the future." The child ran fast.

I brought my seal, and as soon as I went to the jade shop, Xu Yiqing invited me to sit in the wooden chair and put something on the side table.I opened two white jade towel rings, and he said: "It's hard to get your date. This bird holds two flower towel rings as a pair, what do you think?" The double-sided openwork of the towel ring has a bird with a ribbon.The bird perched on the lotus stalk, holding a lotus in its head.The wings are engraved with incised lines, the tail feathers are long, and the tail tip is divided into three forks.The bird's foot and the lotus stem on which it stands have a large hole for wearing a headband.I said: "Ingenious and vivid, worthy of a famous craftsman." Then I went to the Baotong Bank next door to take out five small gold ingots of one tael and some broken silver.

After paying Xu Yiqing two taels of gold, he took out the grate, pressed me on the chair and said: "White jade is a new material, it's best to wear it in your hair and raise it before giving it away." I said: "Listen to shopkeeper Xu."

He tied my hair, and sighed with emotion as he tied it: "Doctor Li always looks as gentle as jade and elegant, and he wears a jade scarf whenever he wants."

I said, "You guys are so sweet. I've bought them all, so there's no need to talk about them."

Xu Yi smiled brightly, sweetly.

On June [-], I went to Yan Butou's house and said, "I'm going on a long journey, please help me tidy up the front shop and the backyard of the hospital." Then I handed him a set of keys to the hospital and five taels of silver.

After returning to the medical hall, Wei Yan and I packed up our luggage.

On the morning of June 19th, Wei Yan and I left the bedroom without turning around and locking the door. [-]-year-old Shen Lian was holding the Longquan sword case and leaning under the grape arbor with a bundle on her back.Qi Jin was beside him and said: "If you are sorry to the world, I will destroy your martial arts with my own hands."

Shen Lian said: "Yes, master." He and Qi Jin suddenly turned their heads, and Wei Yan who was beside him flew out of the wall and came back after a while.I asked: "What's wrong?"

He said: "Someone came, but they were not caught."

Qi Jin interjected: "Doctor Li, be careful when traveling far away." He left quickly.

I asked Shen Lian: "You want to go with me?"

"Can't you?" He asked back, "A man's ambition is everywhere. It's useless for me to stay in Caoshi Town. I want to travel to the south. How do you get there?"

I said: "Let's go with Master Liang Zeren, first Ezhu, then Yutan City to Lizhou."

He walked into my bedroom by mistake: "There is a famine in Ezhu. Zhilantang Dingxinxiang, be careful not to put it out, and take it with you." Before I could stop him, he took the only two pillars left on the bookshelf and stuffed them into his luggage. inside.

At the time of Mao, there were seven people riding on tall horses outside the Donghuamen gate.Mr. Liang is the leader, there is a young man in the middle, and the five people behind are dressed as bodyguards.Another servant led five horses and waited on the other side.

After I approached, Master Liang said: "There are five capable men with strong martial arts escorting us, you choose three horses and go."

Shen Lian rolled onto a red horse that was four feet long from head to tail.Mr. Liang said: "The jujube horse is fierce and unruly." The smallest horse in front of me was completely white, and he lowered his head to rub against my hand. Wei Yan grabbed my back and sat on it. inside.Mr. Liang laughed: "Snowflake Silver Mane is spiritual." The young man surrounded in the middle sneered: "You are as bad at riding a horse as I am." He was wearing a noble purple round-neck gown with a button on the collar and front.Leather belt cinches at waist, Upper Paley State embroidered pocket.Although the embroidered pouches are expensive, they are somewhat whitish and old.As soon as I moved up and met his gaze, he dodged immediately, with a slightly flinching expression.Master Liang pointed at me and said, "Li Ping, Doctor Li."

Shen Lian rode the horse behind Mr. Liang: "Shen Lian." Wei Yan picked up the black satin horse, which was as shiny as oil, with only four snow-white hooves, and rode the horse to the outside of me.Mr. Liang said: "A thousand miles of dark age is hard to tame." Wei Yan clasped his fists: "Wei Yan."

The young man hesitated before saying, "Shen Sheng."

"Shen Sheng is the son of an old friend," Mr. Liang added flatly, "He is also from Lizhou, so he will go with us this time."

Amidst the clatter of horseshoes, Shen Lian asked Shen Sheng: "How old were you when you were born?"

Shen Sheng said: "I am Shenglin's second-year student, and I am 19 years old this year."

Shen Lian said: "It's a coincidence, I'm also Shenglin's second year student, 19 years old."

A group of ten people set off immediately, and Chang'an City gradually disappeared behind them.

When I first left Chang'an, I privately pulled Weiyan aside and said, "Can you protect Shen Lian in times of crisis? He is young, and he will be more alive in the future."

Wei Yan rarely shook his head.

I wondered and asked him, "Why not?"

He replied flatly: "Master is dead, I am martyred, I can't protect him."

As it should be, the sky is turned upside down.I couldn't speak at once, and after a while I said, "Wei Yan, I will treat you the same."

But he shook his head, lowered his head and kissed my forehead: "The master will not be martyred, but the master will live on."
