Mr. Yangui

Chapter 122 Chapter [-] The situation is critical

When Li Wuchang returned home, the servants of Li's mansion brought him an invitation, Lu Xuandong's, inviting him to go for an outing at the foot of Nanshan Mountain the day after tomorrow.

"Oh, this Lu Xuandong always wants to make troubles and rains." Li Wuchang held the invitation, feeling helpless in his heart.

Li Wuchang was about to go to the study to look through the unnamed medical book he brought out from Martial Arts Pavilion. He wanted to learn a few medicines for self-defense. Forbidden medicines like Sanqi Pill must be studied carefully to see if they can be improved so that It is also useful for people above the fifth rank, in that case, you can have some confidence even when you meet a master.

There are other harmful drugs such as Cartilage Powder, Hemiplegia, Wangxin Pill, and Three-day Bishi Pill, which can also be learned. These are excellent self-defense weapons.

"Is Fourth Young Master here?" A voice came from outside.

"Hi Steward Ye, the young master is in the room." Xiao Ru's voice.

It turned out that Steward Ye was here.

Li Wuchang went back the same way, came to the hall, and saw Steward Ye, he was sweating profusely, and Li Wuchang felt strange.

Steward Ye is usually very personable, he is not in a hurry or hasty in doing things, and he rarely loses his composure.

"Hey, Mr. Ye, what's the matter?" Li Wuchang laughed.

"Fourth young master, the master ordered you to rush to the East courtyard as soon as possible... By the way, remember to bring the golden needle." Steward Ye didn't have time to talk nonsense, and directly explained the purpose of coming.

Who is this sick?
Li Wu didn't see Butler Ye in such a hurry, so he didn't talk nonsense, and said, "Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he stepped up and walked towards the east courtyard, very simply and neatly.

When he came to the side hall of the east courtyard, Li Wuchang found that there were many people around there, besides his family members, there were also a few acquaintances.

Zhou Chengwang and Shen Tongguang looked anxious.

Isn't Shen Tongguang Zhou Sheng's lieutenant general?
Shouldn't we be fighting the Khitans in Anle County, Jizhou now?

Why did you return to Beijing?
And also came to the Li Mansion.

"Here we come, the fourth young master is here, let's all make room." Ye Rong opened the way ahead.

Li Wuchang was about to greet everyone, Li Lingwu said directly: "Stop talking nonsense, go to the room to see the old lady of the Zhou family?"

Mrs. Zhou is sick?
At this moment, there was no time to think about it, and also unable to ask questions, because Li Lingwu looked very anxious, Li Wuchang let out a cry, and followed Li Lingwu into the guest room.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Liu were waiting beside the bed, and the old lady of the Zhou family was lying on the bed, as if she was asleep.

"Go and have a look." Li Lingwu ordered.

Li Wuchang took a deep breath, walked to the bed, sat down, observed the old lady's face for a while, calmed down a little, and then felt her pulse.

After a while, Li Wuchang came to a conclusion and said, "This is a rush of anger."

Zhou Chengwang was very anxious and said, "Impermanence, my grandmother?"

Li Wuchang said: "Let me tell you, what kind of news did you tell the old lady? She has obviously been greatly stimulated by her appearance. For the old man, this situation is very dangerous. If she is not careful, she will have a funeral of."

When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale with fright.

Li Wu did not see the situation, and quickly said: "This time I am lucky, I am by the side, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

After a pause, he instructed Steward Ye, "Old Steward, please get some hot water and a new towel... and then send someone to Caiyunju to find my nanny and bring a few bottles of tranquilizing pills."

The Anshen Pill was specially prepared by Li Wuchang for his nanny. It nourishes qi and blood, calms the nerves and calms the mind, and the effect is very good.

Ye Rong hurried down to get ready.

Only then did Li Wuchang take out the needle bag, and administered the needle to the old lady without any haste. Everyone knew Li Wuchang's habits, so they kept quiet and did not dare to disturb him.

Butler Ye acted quickly, hot water and tranquilizing pills were ready, put them on the table, and stood aside, waiting for orders at any time.

Li Wuchang seemed to be able to handle tasks with ease, still in that unhurried manner, and even hummed a ditty.

Everyone looked at Li Wuchang's foolish look, although they were speechless, they knew that everything was under control, otherwise Li Wuchang would not be so relaxed.

After a while, Li Wuchang finished the acupuncture, and then sat on the stool, quietly observing the changes in the old lady's expression, about a quarter of an hour, Li Wuchang nodded slightly, and began to shrink the needle.

"Here comes the medicine, and another glass of warm water." Li Wuchang stretched out his hand.

Steward Ye quickly handed Li Wuchang a bottle of medicine, and Zhou Chengwang poured a glass of water.

Li Wuchang unplugged the stopper, smelled it, poured two pills, and fed it to the old lady, then gave her another sip of water, sent the medicine down, and asked the servant girl to wipe the old lady carefully with a hot towel Face.

After doing this, I felt the old lady's pulse, turned around and said: "The old lady will wake up soon, can you tell me what news you all told the old lady just now? Let me have a mental preparation, and I can stabilize later." Live in the old lady."

"My father is in danger, and my grandmother is very worried..." Zhou Chengwang explained.

Li Wuchang nodded, probably understood what was going on.

It should be related to the robbing of Jizhou's grain and grass. The Khitans attacked fiercely, and Zhou Sheng was not a vegetarian. He defended Anle County stubbornly, but the logistics would not be able to keep up.

The treasury and internal treasury of the imperial court are very tight. It will take a lot of expenses to wipe out Japanese pirates and bandits. It may take a while to get together another batch of grain and grass to send to Jizhou.

But time waits for no one.

Once the logistics can't keep up, the consequences can be imagined. Everything is caused by the attack on food and grass.

Shen Tongguang came back to Beijing at this juncture to ask for help.

Since Zhou Sheng took back Anle County, he has always used Anle County as a fortress, built many defensive facilities, spent a lot of financial and material resources, and almost all the resources in the rear were allocated. Once Anle fell, Yuyang in Jizhou, Zhuojun , Beiping, Shanggu and other places will collapse across the board. At that time, Liaodong, Liucheng, and Yanjun, which are guarded by the King of Beihai, will be attacked by the enemy, and the entire army may be wiped out.

Since the governor of Jizhou died last year, there has been no new governor. At present, the overall situation in Jizhou is presided over by the king of Beihai. Once the king of Beihai retreats secretly or the entire army is wiped out, not only Jizhou will be lost, but Dayan's morale will be greatly affected. blow.

Jizhou is the place where Dayan started. There are more than [-] counties, and its territory is equal to that of Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and Yangzhou.

Once Jizhou is lost, Khitan and Goryeo will have more room for development, and I am afraid that there will be endless troubles.

Therefore, Anle County cannot afford to lose.

It is a pity that some senior officials of the imperial court believed that the northern part of Jizhou was already a bottomless pit, and suggested that they give up first, and build a new line of defense in Yanmen, Boling, and Hejian areas in the southern part of Jizhou, relying on the terrain, and then gradually map it out.

There are not a few people in the DPRK who hold this idea.

And His Majesty is still considering it.

If His Majesty listens to this suggestion, Anle and Liaodong will have no choice but to give up, and of course Beihai King Lu Yuanke will follow the imperial edict and retreat.

And Zhou Sheng... According to Zhou Sheng's temper, even if he received the imperial decree to retreat, he would definitely not leave Anle and the people in Yuyang and run away privately. There is only one dead end.

At present, the three cabinet ministers have not yet reached a unified opinion, and everything depends on His Majesty's ruling.

Shen Tongguang was thinking about the friendship between Li Lingwu and Zhou Sheng. This time, he came to see if he could ask Li Lingwu to report his interests to His Majesty and quickly support Anle County.

The old lady was worried about the safety of her son Zhou Sheng, so she came with Shen Tongguang, thinking of begging Li Lingwu.

Li Lingwu and Zhou Sheng are old friends, and he did not hide the truth from the old lady. Based on his understanding of His Majesty, it is estimated that His Majesty may give up the northern part of Jizhou.

When the old lady heard the bad news, she fainted on the spot.

This is how Steward Ye went to Caiyunju to invite Li Wuchang.

After Li Wuchang knew the reason, he secretly sighed.

At this time, the old lady opened her eyes and came to her senses. Li Wuchang smiled at her and said, "Old lady, are you okay? Do you still remember the boy?"

The old lady was a little lacking in spirit, when she saw Li Wuchang, she showed a forced smile, and said: "Brother Wuchang, it seems that this time it is thanks to you again."

Li Wuchang smiled and said: "Lady, General Zhou is so lucky and fateful, it is so easy to have accidents, you must hold on at this time, don't let General Zhou be distracted, in case the news of your fainting is spread by someone who cares When we arrived in Jizhou, didn’t that kill General Zhou?”

Now I can only stabilize the old lady temporarily, lest she be stimulated again.

The old lady is also used to big scenes, so she won't be easily fooled by Li Wuchang, so she took Li Lingwu's hand and said, "Lingwu, you grew up with that kid Zhou Sheng, you must persuade Your Majesty at this time Ah, you must not give up on the northern part of Jizhou... Otherwise, alas, otherwise..."

Li Lingwu said: "Madam, you must take care of your body, otherwise Brother Zhou will not be at peace on the battlefield."

As for the promise, he didn't dare to give it, because he couldn't influence His Majesty's decision.

Seeing this, the old lady got up from the bed, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said mournfully, "Ling Wu, I beg you, go and talk to His Majesty, otherwise Zhou Sheng will not survive..."

Everyone would have expected that the old lady would do this, they were all taken aback.

Doesn't this shorten everyone's life?
Li Wuchang has quick eyes and quick hands, he quickly helped the old lady up, and said: "Old lady, don't get excited, my father will definitely find a way, you also know that General Zhou is usually upright and has offended many people, there must be many people waiting at this time Looking at his jokes, His Majesty's attitude is not clear now, so if he speaks rashly, it may be self-defeating."

Then he winked at Li Lingwu.

Li Lingwu hurriedly said: "That's right, old lady, you've really upset this junior just now, don't worry, I will never just sit and watch Brother Zhou just hang on in Jizhou like this."

The old lady's eyes were dull, and she held Li Lingwu's hand tightly, tears were about to flow out.

Li Wuchang had no choice but to grit his teeth and said: "Old lady, don't worry, the boy will give you a guarantee, and I will definitely find a way for you. If His Majesty really gives up the northern part of Jizhou, I assure you, even if you send someone to I will tie General Zhou back to Chang'an, and I will do what I say."

After hearing the words, the old lady regained her spirits, and said incoherently: "Yes, yes, you go and send someone to tie him back, please, please tie him back, please."

This idea is obviously unrealistic, but the old lady can't care so much anymore.

Li Wuchang continued: "Madam, please don't get excited. The matter has not reached the point of no return. After all, this matter is not trivial. Your Majesty needs some time to fully consider it. Although some of Jizhou's grain and grass were burned by the bandits, but There is still a lot left, General Zhou can hold on for a while, we can use this time to find a way."

After Li Wuchang talked about it, the old lady finally calmed down, but her expression became dull again. Li Wuchang had no choice but to support her well, and then gave her a few needles to make her fall asleep.

When the old lady fell asleep, Li Wuchang felt like a battle had been fought.

"Father, there is no way to go on like this. The old lady is well-informed, and she is not so easily fooled. She must find a way, otherwise her body will collapse soon. I can only temporarily stabilize her and cannot continue Basically cure her." Li Wuchang explained.

Of course everyone knows.

Heart disease also requires heart medicine.
