An Empire as a Betrothal Gift - Chapter 74

On a path down the mountain, the mighty motorcade is heading southeast. The wheels creaked, leaving two deep ruts on the road.

Zhou Mingli, who served as the imperial envoy, rode on a high horse and paid close attention to the trend of the four quarters.

They had to cross the mountain to get back to the official road. There are a lot of money for disaster relief from the imperial court in the team. You should always be on guard against bandits’ robbery.

After Ji Yue came to power, he widely accepted the world’s sages and focused on promoting the younger generation. Zhou Mingli, who is now in his first year, is one of the nine ministers. If handled properly, the official career will be smooth and prosperous in the future.

But pestilence is hard to deal with. Since ancient times, no one can resist the plague. Doctors did not know the origin of the disease, did not understand how to spread the disease, nor could they prescribe the right medicine to the case. They could only hope that God would grant mercy. As soon as the plague subsided, the human body would be covered with remains and devastated.

Thinking of the hard battle to be fought, Zhou Mingli frowned deeply and looked solemn.

“Drive!” The horse’s hooves raised dust and a faint “bang bang” came from behind.

Zhou Mingli immediately said, “be on guard!”

The guards immediately pulled out their swords and looked back.

A young man in white with a hat was riding a red horse. He pulled the reins in front of the army and lifted his hat to reveal his delicate and cold eyes.

“I was ordered by the king to take over the plague in Jiangzhou.” Wei Lian opened his mouth and showed the imperial edict and a dark gold token on a black background.

As soon as Zhou Mingli saw the token, he immediately turned over and dismounted and half knelt on the ground.

It is like a king in person.

The rest of the guards also put the sword back into the scabbard and knelt down to salute.

“No need to be polite.” Wei Lian put down his bamboo hat, took back his token, beat his horse and penetrated into the team. “The epidemic situation can’t be delayed. Keep going.”

He handed the imperial edict to Zhou Mingli: “let’s have a look at it.”

Zhou Mingli took over the imperial edict and quickly swept his eyes from the top to the bottom.

He knew that the young master had been restrained. It was originally a proton sent by the state of Chu, and later it was favored by his majesty.

Last time in the Jinluan palace, gongzilian killed the assassin in public, which was obvious to all. He was also present at that time, and knew that the young master was not empty. He might have some real skills.

…… But even if it’s Tianda’s ability, it’s always the people of Chu. What’s it like to give him such an important thing as pestilence!

If the childe was selfish and allowed the epidemic to develop more and more seriously, and the state of Qin was deliberately killed, how should his majesty deal with it? Have not your majesty thought about these consequences!

It’s just What a daze!

Zhou Mingli, who was in charge of the prison, was famous for his selflessness and inhumanity. He was straight-minded and could not speak in a roundabout way. His query about Wei Lian was clearly written on his face, but he was also shut up because of the token.

Wei Lian didn’t see it.

For people like Zhou Mingli, it’s useless to say more than one word. Only by talking with facts can people be convinced.

The motorcade must stop to have a rest. It’s been half a month since we got close to Jiangzhou.

Wei Lian has been almost invisible for half a month. He neither commands nor cries out for thirst. He eats dry food like the guards. When Zhou Mingli ordered parking for rectification or re departure, he also had no objection. Instead, he asked Zhou Mingli to improve his impression.

He is most afraid of people in the palace. He is used to it. But now it seems that the childe is still very relaxed on the road.

But this does not mean that Zhou Mingli recognized Wei Lian’s ability. He didn’t think that Wei Lian could be of any use in this plague. His silence over the past few days made him convinced that the other party was just a person who came to make a profit. He had no real ability and had nothing to say.

They were imperial ministers, but like two strangers, they didn’t communicate with each other all the way.

Wei Lian said more to the doctor than to Zhou Mingli.

Wang Taiyi was too old to bear the heavy traffic, so he did not come here. However, many of his students in Tai hospital were involved in this war without gunpowder smoke.

Doctor Xu also came, accompanied by a little doctor Xu, who is the son and apprentice of doctor Xu. He is also very good at medical skills.

The boy was only seventeen years old. He was addicted to the way of medicine. He didn’t care about everything else. In time, he was a miracle doctor again.

One night, the motorcade stopped at a post station. Wei Lian happened to meet Xu Taiyi in the corridor. He asked him how much he knew about the epidemic. He shook his head and sighed and quietly gave him a number: one in ten thousand.

There’s nothing to be afraid of. In the past, mortals have never succeeded in fighting against the plague. However, many lives have not been killed. Until all the people have died, the disease will disappear.

Everyone knows this cruel truth, and everyone has this psychological preparation.

The field of medicine is vast and boundless. What the world can master is only a drop in the ocean. There are a lot of difficult and miscellaneous diseases that can not be overcome. The next tuberculosis is incurable, not to mention plague. Often they have not found out the source, the catastrophe will laugh and rampant, leaving countless life and death.

It’s better to die together than to relieve the disaster. They are flying moths to the fire to turn the tide back. Fire may not be extinguished, but moths must die.Everyone is determined to die.

Rao is so, half of the hospital still came. It’s not the king’s order. It’s all voluntary.

This time, both soldiers and doctors, Ji Yue followed the “three no go” rule.

This is the rule that Ji Yue made to the army when he was 15 years old when he first went out to fight. However, when he was in a desperate situation and needed to fight, there were three kinds of people who did not need to be listed.

If you have a high house but no brothers, don’t go.

If you have a wife and a wife, you can’t go.

Those who have young children and children without mothers are not allowed to go.

Three not to go, is to prevent the elderly no one to support, the wife lost rely on, young children become orphans.

Other people, etc., all have to obey orders, go through fire and water, and will not refuse.

This is also the reason why Ji Yue was so loved by the Qin army. With this commander in chief, the morale of the army will naturally gather, and it will naturally be invincible.

Because they have such kings.

Today, the “three don’t go” is used in Taiji hospital. There are a lot of people who can choose to stay in Yongping, but they still voluntarily ask for orders, and many people come.

Wei Lian is not surprised to hear this answer.

He stopped for a moment, as if inadvertently mentioned: “I heard that doctor Xu’s wife…”

All the way, the doctors were bored and talked about many old things. One thing that Wei Lian cared about was that in his early years, doctor Xu had a very affectionate wife, but unfortunately, she had a bad face and left early.

Wei Lian is now extremely sensitive to such things as “love parting”.

Seeing his reticence, Xu said with a smile: “you don’t have to be embarrassed. My wife died many years ago. This is not a secret in the whole Tai hospital. I have been practicing medicine all my life, but I can’t save my wife In the final analysis, it’s also nature’s trick. ” He said this with a dim look.

“I have no intention of mentioning your sorrow.” Wei Lian apologized, “but your majesty has said that only one person can be sent from one household. Why do you want to bring your son in?”

“I don’t dare to be called a childe.” Xu Taiyi even busy way, mention his child, he some helpless, and some proud color, “the child is his own to come.”

“Oh?”

“Wen Qing, a child, has been obsessed with medical skills since childhood.” Xu Taiyi could not help smiling and said, “he is really talented. He is 17 years old. He has mastered pharmacology thoroughly and always sneaks out to give free medical treatment to people in Yongping city. This time, I wanted him to stay in Yongping He insisted on coming, but I didn’t agree with anything… ”

Wei Lian said with a smile: “why did doctor Xu finally agree?”

“The child said a word,” said Xu

“He said – what’s the point of learning medicine if it can’t be used to save people?” Xu Tai said, “it is meaningful for him to feel happy when he is practicing medicine to save people. In Yongping, although he can save his life, he will feel very sad. ”

Wei Lian was stunned.

If learning medicine can not be used to save people, what is the significance of learning medicine?

Wei Lian has been practicing medicine since he was young, which can be called the peak of perfection. However, it is undeniable that he has never had a chance to show his strength because he always keeps in mind that he can not show his edge.

He can use silver needles to kill people. He knows how to poison people. He can use acupoints to plot against people.

…… But he really has no chance to save people.

The only time was to bandage his wound for Ji Yue.

He is really a doctor It’s useless.

If you learn a skill, but do nothing to bring into the loess, that is for what?

Even if the ability is extraordinary, it is meaningless.

He seldom had a happy time when he grew up, until he watched a fireworks with Ji Yue on New Year’s night, which seemed to be the beginning of meaning.

“There is a family motto in the Xu family. Doctors are benevolent and have no fear of life and death.” Xu Taiyi said, “I always let Wen Qing remember this sentence. Later, the minister refused to let him go to Jiangzhou, but the little bunny dared to refute him with this remark… ” Although he was angry, his eyes were full of pride, “the child has grown up.”

Wei Lian looked at the smile in Xu’s eyes and nodded.

“I know that many people in this team don’t trust childe, so don’t worry about him.” Xu Taiyi turned his words and said, “on that day, when your Majesty was assassinated and returned to the palace, I saw your Majesty’s bandaging techniques and wound treatment methods I believe in your ability. ”

Wei Lian’s eyes are light.

“Dad A bright young voice came out of the room, “help me to see if there is a problem with this prescription! I had a new idea yesterday

Xu Taiyi choked and bowed his hand to Wei Lian: “Sir, excuse me.”

Wei Lian nodded quietly and watched doctor Xu enter the door.

The father and son are happy together. Even if they are going to risk tomorrow, they will live and die without fear.

He drooped his eyes.

……

Wei Lian went back to his room and found a white jade porcelain bottle from his bag. He poured a pill out of the bottle and took it.When he took the antidote for half a year, he was told that he needed to take the antidote once a year. It’s time to take medicine again.

After taking the medicine, Wei Lian lay on the couch, unable to sleep.

He’s thinking about Ji Yue a little bit.

Not some. I really want to.

The jade pendant with the fox holding flowers still sticks to the warm skin. Wei Lian holds the jade pendant and slowly rubs the carved shape.

He remembered that day in the imperial study, Ji Yue had almost no one to kiss him, his breath was deprived, and even his heart seemed to suffocate. When they separated, they were very embarrassed. They looked at each other’s appearance, and all of a sudden they burst into laughter.

Wei Lian’s collar is pulled slightly disorderly, and Ji Yue finds the jade pendant hanging on his neck. Then he took out the jade pendant, lowered his head and gently dropped a kiss on the flower.

The smaller the fox says in my heart

Wei Lian put the jade pendant back, closed his eyes, and involved the missing days into the dream.

At least I’m doing something meaningful.

He thought.

The meaning of his life began with a new year’s fireworks, but fireworks should not be his whole meaning.
