Outside the door of Gu Cheng's mansion.
The two people were discussing things, it was Lu Zhen and Ji Gang.
"Corruption in Texas is rampant and rampant, but it is also monolithic and cannot be shaken."
"For the current plan, we can only rely on General Gu, who has come to visit us. He has troops in his hands."
"As long as we find out the son of Song Guogong Feng Sheng who is the backstage person in Texas, all problems will be solved."
According to Ji Gang's investigation during this period, a huge network of interests was discovered in Texas.
Feng Sheng, the Duke of the Song Dynasty, was not only the Duke of the State, but also the father-in-law of King Zhu Tan of Lu. He was a relative of the emperor and the country, and his status was extremely noble.
Now Feng Sheng is in charge of military affairs in Henan and other places.
Feng Sheng's son relied on his own connections to open up a tea-horse smuggling route.
This route starts from Jinzhong, passes through Dezhou, and leads to the mouth of the river.
Use government vehicles to transport tea and horse business, and sell tea overseas. Not only are there no tariffs during this period, but because they are government vehicles, no bandits dare to make any plans.
It can be said to be a huge profit, and the beneficiaries should involve many officials.
This is using the government's manpower and material resources to engage in smuggling!
Originally, Ji Gang's investigation was almost complete, and he planned to start in Texas, stop the government's convoy, and steal the stolen goods personally.
As a result, the dozen or so Jinyi guards he brought with him were all inexplicably intercepted and killed.
Now that he didn't have any soldiers in his hands, he naturally had no idea.
Because it was a secret operation, Lu Zhen was afraid of alerting others and did not dare to report the matter.
They were originally planning to conduct a secret investigation, but they were intercepted and killed on the way.
Now the two of them discussed with each other and felt that if they could only rely on them now, let alone solve the case, they might not be able to protect themselves in Texas and there were many dangers.
Having no choice but to rely on outside forces, Lu Zhen set his sights on his friend Gu Cheng.
Old General Gu Cheng was guarding Guizhou and brought many guards with him all the way from Guizhou.
The two of them visited the house and entered the mansion after making the announcement.
"You two sit down and wait for now. My master is not in the mood to meet guests right now."
After the servant led the two people into the mansion, he said.
"What's the matter with General Gu?" Lu Zhen asked.
A servant in the mansion said: "General Gu's old mother is ill and is looking for treatment from famous doctors. The situation is not optimistic."
"Thanks."
Lu Zhen nodded.
After the servants left, Lu Zhen and Jigang looked at each other, feeling extremely depressed.
As a result, General Gu has no time to care about him, and their plan may be in vain.
Ji Gang suddenly thought of something and said: "Mr. Lu, I met a traveling doctor in Texas a few years ago. Although he is a charlatan, his medical skills are superb and may be useful!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhen said happily: "Then what are you waiting for? Come find us quickly!"
"Okay, I'll go find the doctor right now."
Without further ado, Ji Gang immediately left the mansion to look for the wandering doctor.
He borrowed a fast horse from the mansion and went to the village in his memory.
It was also good luck. After two hours of haste, Ji Gang found the person.
The wandering doctor's name was Li Kefang, and he lived in seclusion in a village in Linyi County, Dezhou. Because Ji Gang had saved his life, Wu Kefang immediately followed him.
at the same time.
Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun also bought gifts for the visit on the street.
I bought some supplements and medicinal materials at the pharmacy, and also brought some fruits, wine and other items.
At this time, Li Xiongzhi also found out the address of General Gu Cheng's mother.
"We have almost everything. Let's go to General Gu's house now."
Li Xiao held Zhu Ningyun's hand and said.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Xiaolang. It's obviously something my father arranged for me to do, but you've been busy all the time."
Zhu Ningyun held the hand of Li Xiao, who was close to her, and felt that she didn't have to worry about anything when she was with Li Xiao.
Li Xiao said softly: "What do you mean? We are husband and wife, and your affairs are my affairs."
Zhu Ningyun nodded obediently: "Yes."
【Ding! You and Zhu Ningyun are of the same mind and work together. The husband sings and the wife follows, and their affection is endless. Earn sweet points: 100 points. Trigger 50x critical hit and get sweet points: 5000 points. 】
That's it.
The two of them walked towards Gu Cheng's mansion.
Gu Cheng's mother's residence.
Standing in the room were many famous doctors snatched from Texas.
The doctors came forward one by one to diagnose, and then they all shook their heads and walked out.
"You are a bunch of trash, you all claim to be famous doctors, why are you speechless now?"
In the room, Gu Cheng watched his old mother lying on the bed angrily, while a group of doctors were helpless and couldn't help but curse.
"Mom, the child is unfilial and came a step too late."
Gu Cheng knelt in front of his old mother's bed, crying.
He came all the way from Guizhou at high speed, but he didn't expect to arrive a step late.
My mother has lost consciousness now and will die at any time.
Gu Cheng has been working day and night for ten years and has little time to visit his mother.
Who knew that this last moment would mean separation.
His mother fell to death without even having time to look at him.
"Mom, you can make it through."
Gu Cheng kept wiping his tears, feeling extremely sad.
After a long time, he looked at the maid in the house and asked, "How has my mother been doing at home these years?"
The maid also wiped her tears, and then said: "My mistress is living a good life, but she often misses you, the general. She sits in the mansion looking south in a daze, and all she talks about is the general."
Upon hearing this.
Gu Cheng was even more sad.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop; the child wants to be nurtured but cannot be kissed.
I am really unfilial. I think it has been seventeen or eight years since I went home to visit my mother.
Gu Cheng felt sad and felt even more uncomfortable. He sat next to his mother and was filled with grief.
"General, it's not that we are incompetent, it's that your mother is old and ill with longing for her," a doctor sighed.
Gu Cheng remained silent, just sitting in a daze.
At this time, a guard wearing armor came in and reported: "General, there is a man named Lu Zhen outside the door asking to see you."
"No, no!"
Gu Cheng was now in no mood to receive the guests and said sadly: "From now on, I won't see anyone. I have to accompany my old mother on her last journey."
The guard took two steps closer, cupped his hands and said, "General, Lu Zhen said he brought a miracle doctor named Li Kefang, who was specifically brought here to treat the old lady."
"Li Kefang?"
Hearing this, Gu Cheng's eyes lit up, and then he looked at the doctors in the room and asked, "Have you heard of Li Kefang's name?"
All the doctors shook their heads.
But one of the doctors recalled the man.
His eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Tell me, General, this old man Li Kefang has a connection, and he can be called a miracle doctor!"
"How to say!"
Gu Cheng stood up suddenly and walked to the doctor who was speaking in two steps.
The doctor cupped his hands and said: "This Li Kefang is a weirdo, a barefoot doctor who travels around. I only met him once, but that time left a very deep impression on me."
Gu Chengdao: "Speak quickly."
"Is such that."
The doctor continued: "Lao Cheng once sought medical consultation and met a patient who had fever all over the body and was vomiting. This disease is very common. At that time, Lao Cheng diagnosed it as wind-cold syndrome and prescribed a warming prescription. treat."
"Two days later, the patient was still not feeling better, so I added another prescription, which I thought would cure the disease."
"As a result, the traveling doctor Li Kefang was also invited to this family's house and he also prescribed a prescription."
"You must know that doctors are taboo about treating one patient at the same time, because each has its own treatment method, and the methods are easy to conflict with each other, which is not conducive to treatment."
"The old man was very dissatisfied at the time, so he read the prescription given by Li Kefang. The patient had vomiting and diarrhea, but the prescription was for severe cold, which was completely opposite to the prescription prescribed by the old man."
"At that time, the old man had no eyes to see Mount Tai and even had a dispute with him. Li Kefang said that the old man's diagnosis was wrong. The patient was cold but not hot. It was not typhoid. Serious diseases require strong medicine!"
"I found out later that the diagnosis of old age was indeed wrong."
"The patient's family believed the words of the wandering doctor and used his prescription. The old man was so angry that he waited for the two of them there to see the result."
"Two days later, the medicine was enough to cure the disease. The patient quickly got better after taking his prescription. I was really convinced that time. I still remember it."
"Later, I wanted to find this person and worship him as my teacher, but I couldn't find him at all."
After listening to these words.
Gu Cheng's eyes were filled with hope!
"So, this Li Kefang is really a miracle doctor!"
"Okay, great, my mother is saved!"
Gu Cheng was overjoyed, looked at the guards, and immediately ordered: "Please quickly invite Lord Lu Zhen to come in."
"yes."
The guards received the order and immediately invited Lu Zhen, Ji Gang and others in.
soon.
Lu Zhen and Ji Gang took Li Kefang, the visiting doctor, into the room.
Lu Zhen thought to himself that as long as the miracle doctor he brought cured Gu Cheng's mother, the smuggling case would be settled!
"Brother Lu, long time no see, long time no see! Why do you have time to see me today?"
Gu Cheng greeted him cordially, and at the same time saw an old man dressed in simple clothes, and immediately asked: "Is this Brother Lu the doctor who brought me the general?"
Lu Zhen took Gu Cheng's hand and said, "Brother, I'm a little late. I'm sorry! I heard that our mother was seriously ill. I immediately brought this famous doctor non-stop. I hope I can do my best."
"Thank you so much! I will keep this feeling in my heart."
Gu Cheng said excitedly.
After the two exchanged polite greetings.
Gu Cheng then kindly took Li Kefang to pay for his mother's hospital bed.
"Divine Doctor Li, you must save my old mother. Even if you can make her open her eyes and look at me, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"
This Li Kefang was in his fifties, dressed simply, even wearing straw sandals. His skin was dark and wrinkled. Compared with the group of doctors in the room, he did not have the demeanor of a famous doctor.
But after hearing the story just now, no one dares to underestimate this Li Kefang.
As the saying goes, masters are among the people, and there are mountain people outside the mountains. There are always some humble-looking masters in this world.
Li Kefang cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare to be a famous doctor. I am just an ordinary doctor. I travel around and it is my duty to treat illnesses and save people. I will definitely do my best."
Upon hearing these humble words, Gu Cheng was even more convinced that Li Kefang was definitely an expert.
"Good work!"
Gu Cheng bowed deeply.
As long as he could save his mother's life, even if he could live a little longer, Gu Chengdu regarded him as his savior.
As soon as Li Kefang saw that this person had an extraordinary appearance and an aura about him, he knew that the person in front of him was extraordinary.
He did not dare to neglect, sat down in front of the bed, and began to check the pulse.
Half a stick of incense has passed.
Li Kefang finished the whole paragraph, stood up slowly, and turned around.
Everyone's hearts were so nervous that they were in their throats.
Especially if Lu Zhen can cure the old general Gu Cheng's mother, it means that he can ask Gu Cheng to borrow troops.
"Excuse me, the general's mother is very old now?"
Li Kefang asked.
"My mother is in her seventies this year"
Gu Cheng had a bad premonition in his heart and asked, "Miracle Doctor Li, how is my mother's condition?"
"No disease. Just..."
Li Kefang sighed and said: "Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. The old lady is not ill, but her time has come and cannot be reversed. Maybe I will ask the general to express my condolences tomorrow."
Li Kefang said so.
There was nothing he could do. The old lady had no symptoms at all, but as she aged, her organs aged and her flowers blossomed and fell.
To put it bluntly, as we get older, our body’s resistance decreases.
Almost equal to natural death.
Even gods can't save him.
This statement was no different from that of other doctors present.
This shows that those doctors did not make a mistake in diagnosis.
In addition, it comes from the mouth of the miracle doctor, which is equivalent to confirming this matter.
"Mother."
The glimmer of hope that Gu Cheng had originally ignited was extinguished, and his whole body went limp. He almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Lu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, supported him, and comforted him: "General, I'm sorry, my mother is already seventy-two. There is nothing we can do about it."
Gu Cheng wiped his eyes and said, "Hey, I'm not filial. My mother has lived for seventy-two years, which is enough. But she missed me day and night, and she didn't see me for the last time until she died."
In fact, Gu Cheng didn't know in his heart that his mother was very old and her death was approaching, and she couldn't be saved.
What he felt guilty in his heart was that his old mother did not see him for the last time.
This will be an eternal pain in my heart.
"You all go out, I want to accompany my mother on this last journey."
Gu Cheng felt sad in his heart and began to withdraw from everyone and quietly accompany his mother.
Everyone was getting ready to leave.
The guard soldier just now came in again: "General, we have a distinguished guest to see you."
"No! No matter who it is, I won't see any guests today, general, so don't bother me."
Gu Cheng waved and then sat in front of his mother's bed.
The guard came over and whispered in Gu Cheng's ear: "General, the person here is Princess Yong'an, the eldest daughter of King Yan Zhu Di, who is here to pay a special visit to the general."
"Princess Yong'an?"
Gu Cheng was stunned, and then he stood up. The princess had arranged it herself, so she couldn't help but see it.
"Please come in quickly, I will greet you personally."
Gu Cheng stood up and walked towards the door.
Lu Zhen on the side was dumbfounded. What kind of noble person is here?
Can General Gu, who is in grief, come to greet him in person?
Not long after, the guards invited Zhu Ningyun and Li Xiao in.
Gu Cheng wiped away the tears on his face, smoothed his clothes, and then walked out of the room to greet him.
He forced a smile, and as he walked away, he cupped his hands and said, "Oh, it's my eldest niece who is here to visit. I'm sorry for the indifference. Why don't you pay your respects to Princess Yong'an soon?"
Hearing this, the expressions of the maids, servants, and soldiers present changed. It turned out that the princess was here in person, and they all knelt down and worshiped: "Greetings to Princess Yong'an."
"Your Majesty, Gu Cheng, pays homage to Princess Yong'an."
Gu Cheng walked up to Zhu Ningyun and was about to kneel down when Zhu Ningyun immediately supported him and said, "Old general, don't be too polite. Ningyun is a junior and should not be so polite."
After saying that, he looked at the others and said, "Everyone, please get up. No need to be polite."
Zhu Ningyun's etiquette was very decent, and Li Xiao stood aside and admired him very much.
At this time, Lu Zhen and Ji Gang were stunned.
The person who saved them emotionally was Princess Yong'an, the eldest daughter of King Yan.
Then the man next to him is probably King Yan’s new recruit, the Commander-in-Chief?
But why did they come to Texas? How strange.
The two of them didn't think much, and immediately came over, cupped their hands and said: "Greetings to the princess, I was too blind to see Mount Tai before, but I hope that the princess will be grateful, and I am grateful to the princess for saving my life. I am so grateful that I can't repay you!" "
"Huh? My brother and the princess also know each other?"
Gu Cheng was slightly startled: "What else is there to save my life?"
Lu Zhen smiled awkwardly: "It's a long story. Thanks to the princess for saving the officer's life, actually I came here this time. Forget it, I don't care, I don't care."
Lu Zhen felt that now was not the time to talk about this matter, so he didn't say more.
"I remember back then, when my eldest niece was one month old, I hugged you, haha."
Gu Cheng laughed, but the smile seemed a little forced, and then asked: "I wonder if my eldest niece is here today. What's the important matter?"
"Uncle Gu, can't I see you if there is nothing important?"
"My niece was traveling south and stopped here, so she came here specifically to visit."
"By the way, my father also specifically told me that Uncle Gu is the senior, so I must be here to display Uncle Gu and Grandma Gu."
Zhu Ningyun waved his hand, and Li Xiongzhi and others behind him immediately brought over several boxes of gifts from the visit.
Gu Cheng cupped his hands and said. "I'm so flattered. Please ask your aide to say hello to King Yan. Gu Cheng appreciates it."
Zhu Ningyun nodded slightly, and then discovered that there were unwiped tears on the face of old general Gu Cheng. "Uncle Gu, what happened to you?"
"It's nothing. I do have something to worry about, and it's not worth the princess' concern."
Gu Cheng sighed.
Hearing this, Zhu Ningyun looked directly at Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen understood immediately and had no choice but to cup his hands and say: "Princess, to be honest, there is indeed something going on in General Gu's family. The old lady. The old lady is dying."
"Grandma Gu."
Upon hearing this,
Zhu Ningyun's eyes immediately turned red and she hurriedly walked towards the room.
Seeing this, others followed suit.
Seeing this, Li Xiao followed closely.
"Okay, Ningyun, who has his own feelings, knows how to deal with the world and win people's hearts."
In Zhu Ningyun's negotiation just now, her conversation was appropriate, her behavior was decent, and she was dignified and graceful.
This person obviously already has the demeanor of her mother-in-law Xu Miaoyun, and is a true inheritance of her mother-in-law.
Especially after hearing the news later, he rushed into the house, just like his anxious grandmother who was sick.
How moved was this move in Gu Cheng's heart?
The princess treated him like this. I'm afraid this friendship will never be forgotten, right?
Huh?
Why did the father-in-law suddenly ask them to visit Gu Cheng?
Li Xiao suddenly remembered this question
It doesn't matter if you don't want to, I found the clue as soon as I thought about it.
It seems that Prince Zhu Biao will die soon, right?
As soon as Zhu Biao died, the heir to the throne would change.
What a perfect time for Zhu Di to win over people's hearts at this time!
But how could the father-in-law know that Zhu Biao was going to die?
"Forget it, if you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it."
Li Xiao was too lazy to think so much, and stood quietly aside, enjoying himself.
At this time, Zhu Ningyun sat in front of Mrs. Gu Cheng, covering her face and crying, her voice choked with sobs.
What a real show of true feelings.
"Princess, you are a rich man, please don't feel sorry for me."
Gu Cheng comforted Zhu Ningyun.
Li Xiao stood aside and waited for two quarters of an hour, almost falling asleep.
Two hours later,
I thought this errand was going to be over soon.
Zhu Ningyun suddenly turned around and looked at Li Xiao and said: "Xiaolang, you must save the old lady, even if you let her see General Gu for the last time, it will be okay."
Li Xiao: "????"
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
What's going on?
The doctors in the room who were about to leave, as well as Li Kefang, the so-called miracle doctor, stopped one after another.
Gu Cheng sighed and said: "Princess, you must be too sad. I know my mother's condition. There is no hope of help. Thank you for your concern, Princess."
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Ningyun said seriously: "My Xiaolang knows medical skills, and my concubine's cough was cured by him."
A doctor said: "Princess, the cough... is different from the old lady's condition and cannot be compared. The old lady is old and cannot withstand the hardship."
Lu Zhen said: "Yes, the miracle doctor Li Kefang has also seen it just now. It is indeed... eh."
"Li Kefang? Who is Li Kefang?" Li Xiao asked.
Lu Zhen pointed at Li Kefang, who bowed his hand in return.
Li Xiao looked at Li Kefang, walked over excitedly and shook hands: "I've admired your name for a long time, I'm glad to meet you!"
Before Li Xiao traveled through time, he was from Hubei.
And this Li Kefang was the grandfather of the later famous Li Shizhen. He was also from Qichun, Hubei Province. He had gone to worship Li Shizhen at the cemetery before.
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it." Li Kefang was a little confused.
After saying that, Li Kefang looked at Zhu Ningyun and said, "Princess Princess, this old lady can't stand the trouble anymore."
"Uncle Gu, please believe me once."
Zhu Ningyun looked at Gu Chengdao: "My mother's cough has been treated by many famous doctors but to no avail, but Xiaolang has cured it. Just let him try."
After saying that, she looked at Li Xiao and said in a coquettish tone: "Xiaolang, you must save Uncle Gu's mother, can you?"
Ah this
Li Xiao was sweating on his forehead, he was no god.
Huh!
Suddenly it occurred to me that I could still use 'human albumin'. This thing is high-tech.
Or treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
"Xiao Lang"
Zhu Ningyun shouted again.
Seeing his wife begging him like this, how could he not agree?
Li Xiao pointed to his nose.
"Then let me try?"
The words fell.
The whole room was stunned!
Try it?
What's going on?
