She was promoted to a high place, but she didn't feel that she was here because of it. Instead, her character was still the same as before.
So she doesn't think that not being recognized is a big deal, and she doesn't think that she has to live in the most luxurious house on the road, and she doesn't necessarily have to eat those precious foods.
She lived an extremely ordinary life.
Even when she is not needed, she is still herself.
Xuan Yuyan breathed out gently.
There are people who know the things that Xuan Duanya only understands now.
It was a blessing in disguise for her that she did not marry that Tanhua, but now that she realizes this truth, everything is as it was before.
Xuanxian did not enter the other states in the waterway, because it had already cooled down and some parts of the river near the shore would freeze, so he did not bother.
Ging Guo had been giving Xuan Xian medicine to maintain his health along the way, but when Ging Guo was writing the prescription, he realized that the dosage had reached the limit and he had just arrived in Fengmin Prefecture.
The wrist hung for a long time without falling, and the pen and ink dripped and blurred into a big black shadow.
From this day on, Xuanxian's body seemed to have entered the beginning of decline. He kept coughing every night and could no longer move around.
Bai Guo only took Xuan Xian to see the waterway that used to command all transportation in the fifteen states. The countless ships stopping there seemed to tell the story of the glory of the year.
Xuan Yuyan could not move her eyes away for a long time.
Even though no one is controlling them at this time, just being in the harbor makes people dare not underestimate them.
The flag with the words "Leping" written on it is still flying on it, with bright colors.
"The merchants take care of them every day. As the battlefield in Hongliang Kingdom expands these days, they take a detour from Yifeng and transport them to other states by water."
Bai Guo's eyes fell on it for a long time, "They are indispensable for Leping's current achievements, so they stay."
Even if such a ship is rented out, it's still a lot of money, not to mention that Leping obviously doesn't need that much now. It's better to stay here and watch them rot than to continue to let them have glory.
Xuanxian's physical condition declined too fast, and he was almost bedridden on the third day when the dosage of medicine could not keep up.
The prescriptions that Gingguo spent several days searching for were all rejected at this time.
In the huge pharmacy, thousands of medicinal herbs and ginkgo seemed strange to me.
The regret in the past was that I had no ability to save people, but now my ability is being denied.
It seems like after years of hard work nothing has changed.
What Xuan Yuyan saw when she came was Gingo's unwillingness and pain. The emotion was so real that it was hard to ignore.
"My father asked me to come look for you." Xuan Yuyan looked at it for a long time before speaking out to wake up Ging Guo, who was immersed in it. "My father said that just increasing the dosage of the medicine is enough. He also wants to see Governor Mo Pian. once."
Neither of the two present knew how Xuan Yuyan said the following words, but they both felt the same feeling of powerlessness in their hearts.
"The dose of medicine has been increased... The emperor cannot survive this winter..." Ging Guo's voice was so hoarse that it was unbelievable, almost distorted.
"But if we don't do it, my father will have no choice but to lie on the bed and wait to die." Xuan Yuyan acted much calmer and calmer than Bai Guo at this time, "My father has been lying on the bed for several months. If you hadn't proposed to take care of me, If my father leaves, I'm afraid he will lie on the bed all the time, and he will still be working on the state affairs of Chengzhou Kingdom until the day he closes his eyes."
Xuan Yuyan has been seeing her for much longer than Bai Guo, which may be why she accepted Xuan Xian's words so easily.
The reason for accepting it so easily may also be that the palace has already searched for all the famous doctors from Lezhou and all the doctors that can be found in the world. Over the years, the secret guards asked one after another and tried on one after another. One pair.
"I have seen hundreds of medicine prescriptions, but this one may have made my father stand up. During that time, my father lay in bed and tried the medicine for as long as he wanted. In the end..."
"Supervisor Bai doesn't need to blame himself, these..."
Xuan Yuyan's last words were not spoken, but she comforted the confused Bai Guo, "Just do what you can. You have done enough."
But with this sentence, Ging Guo's always flamboyant eyes shed several tears one after another without any hint of crying, "I've been asked to do so many things, why can't I do one more?"
Why?
I don’t know.
It's like why Bai Guo can do so many things, but she, Xuan Yuyan, can't.
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.
Xuanxian's body no longer allowed him to try more medicines, and even if there were thousands of other medicines, they would be of no use anymore. This was the result of Ginkgo's pulse diagnosis when he left Fengmin Prefecture.
She didn't expect the condition to be so different.
It didn't take long to travel by water from Fengminzhou to Fengzhou, but the second day on the boat, Baiguo received a letter from Yifeng.
Cheng Zhouguo's letter, Cheng Zhouguo's handwriting, and Cheng Zhouguo's words were written in the words of Cheng Zhouguo, personally addressed by Supervisor Bai.
When the ginkgo was opened, the first thing he saw was the signature, which was also written in the name of Cheng Zhou, Zang Qi.
Only the location was written on the letter. The location was in the Leping Granary in the Four Cities, which could be said to ensure Gingguo's safety.
When I read this letter, Bai Guo was next to Xuan Xian, and Xuan Yuyan was also there. At this moment, Xuan Yuyan's eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry.
"Go ahead."
Xuan Xian still drank the medicine, and at this time he still had the time to play chess with Ging Guo.
Bai Guo calculated the distance. It would take at least half a month to go back and forth. If something happened to Xuan Xian while she was away, there would be no one around him who knew about the condition...
"I will also follow you." Xuan Xian said to Bai Guo and Xuan Yuyan in astonishment: "I haven't seen the scenery of the Four Cities, which is also the territory of Chengzhou."
With just such a sentence, Bai Guo didn't know how to persuade her.
It was she who said this first.
The dose of medicine was increased.
The carriage was replaced by a fast horse. Xuanxian in black cloak controlled the horse with one hand and ran faster than Ging Guo. The cold wind seemed to be torn apart.
Xuan Yuyan, who didn't have much riding skills, followed Bai Guo on a horse and was led by Bai Guo. When she saw this scene, she said to Bai Guo: "My father must have been the most heroic general back then."
The words were full of tears, "But can you slow down a little bit?"
cannot.
Bai Guo knew that the current dose of medicine was to last until Xuan Xian came back to see Mo Bi. Half a month was simply nonsense.
On the day he arrived at the Four Cities, Baiguo asked people from the caravan to send a message to Zang Qi. It was already evening when Zang Qi showed up.
Dusk was really setting, and Zang Qi looked outside the granary for a long time before stepping in.
Zang Qi was surprised for a moment by the scene of more than 20 secret guards guarding the vacant compartment on the second floor. When he saw Gingo, he glanced at the two people beside her and said unexpectedly: "Become the emperor."
Xuan Xian nodded to Zang Qi, showing no emotion.
Xuan Yuyan curled her lips and continued to be an unnoticed person.
Zang Qi's eyes fell on Bai Guo for a moment and then back to Xuan Xian, "Is Emperor Cheng worried that I will draw Supervisor Bai into Yifeng?"
Xuan Yuyan hummed to express disdain, but Zang Qi's height and strength made Xuan Yuyan automatically ignore what he said.
Bai Guo didn't explain these feelings to Zang Qi. He just motioned for Zang Qi to sit down and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Over the years, the two of them have only met a few times, let alone actively sent letters requesting to meet.
Zang Qi and Gingo looked at each other for a particularly long time this time, and there was a faint sense of accusation and grievance that Gingo had seen from Bai Mingzheng.
"I just want to catch up with Supervisor Bai." After all, Zang Qi did not put Yifeng's embarrassment in front of Cheng Zhouguo. He just raised his hand and raised the teacup to gesture to Bai Guo and said: "I want to say happy birthday to you. "
If Zang Qi was so serious, he wouldn't have said this just this winter.
But Bai Guo accepted Zang Qi's kindness, "Thank you very much."
The tea was not in the mouth, because Ging Guo said: "I heard that Yifeng defeated Zhige and scattered it? It should not be long before the reunification, but the snow is thick in winter, and this year's harvest is not good. Zhige has just learned it." Planting, is there enough food and grass now?"
Zang Qi did not answer immediately, but just turned the tea cup in his hand, lowered his head and smiled, "You know this...are you just waiting for me to take the initiative to find you?"
Yifeng broke up Zhige and regained the territory and the traitors. However, this year, Hongliang Kingdom and Chengzhou Kingdom fought and transported food to the front line. Many of Hongliang Kingdom's own people starved to death, but there were some in Quan Kingdom. Some Hongliang Kingdom took action faster than them and had already let the merchants leave several times. Now, I am afraid that only Chengzhou Kingdom is left.
But the four cities were the barriers between them and the Zhou Kingdom, and they were indestructible.
Zang Qi, who said this, felt that he was not as good as Yifeng's previous leader. At least Yifeng at that time was truly fearless.
"The food supply in the four cities has not been out this year. I didn't expect Yifeng to be like this."
She also underestimated the weapons of Hongliang Kingdom.
Zang Qi didn't look up from Xuan Xian's gaze. He just lowered his eyes and said, "I didn't expect that what Hongliang Kingdom gave to Yifeng was completely different from what it gave to Zhige."
"But in the end you won."
Being far away from the tribes on the grassland is equivalent to accepting death. If the rule is broken up, the next step is the unification of Yifeng.
"So what if we win, now everyone will die."
Zang Qi, who said this, raised his head and looked down at Ginkgo. His calm eyes looked at Ginkgo's, "Is there any food left?"
There is not enough rain this year, there is not enough fodder on the grassland, and countless cattle and sheep have starved to death. They do not have enough cattle and sheep to exchange for food, and they do not have enough cattle and sheep to survive the winter. What's more, there are still traitors to raise, and their number has doubled.
Xuanxian was surprised. He didn't expect Zang Qi to say this so straightforwardly.
Yifeng, that is where the strong survive. At this time in previous years, the old, weak, sick and disabled would only starve to death, and the food left behind was enough for them.
but now……
Bai Guo sighed, "I just collected some, enough to share with you, but you have to be clear..."
Gingguo's eyes fell on the coral between Zang Qifa for a moment, "In what capacity do you come to ask me for these grains?"
When negotiating with Yifeng back then, Zang Qi promised to give Cheng Zhou another 3,000 horses in the next year, but now it seems that there is no hope.
In other words, Zang Qi now has nothing, including cattle, sheep, horses, weapons, food, grass and furs...
Zang Qi never looked away from Ging Guo. He looked at Ging Guo for a long time and asked, "What do you want?"
Bai Guo couldn't help laughing, "I want money, I want..."
"Is it enough for Yifeng to submit to Zhou?"
Bai Guo's smile stopped, Xuan Yuyan shook her head suspecting that she heard wrongly, and Xuan Xian's eyes paused for a moment.
