But it was a March day in Yangchun. It was only warm in Dali, but in Nanzhao it was a bit hot.
Fortunately, the capital of Nanzhao was located at the location of Chuxiong in later generations. It was only over 200 kilometers away by land and could be reached in a few days by horseback.
Upon entering Nanzhao, Nanzhao officials came to greet him.
"Liu Hong, the young minister of Honglu Temple in Nanzhao, my country, has met Duke Ping!"
There are also many Han people in Nanzhao, and Liu Hong is obviously one of them.
Tang Ping looked at Liu Hong in front of him, nodded and said, "Master Liu, there is no need to be polite."
"It's been a long journey on Pingguo Highway. Do you want to take a rest first? It's still about two days from here to the capital."
"Okay!" Tang Ping nodded. Anyway, he was not in a hurry for a day or two. HeWe were only slightly hot, but the sun was not suitable for the Xuanjia Cavalry. In this way, the armored heavy cavalry before entering Nanzhao was indeed a bit big.
Following Liu Hong to what looked like a temporary shanty town, Liu Hong said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Ping, this Nanhua County is just a small border town with a population of only two thousand. There really is no place to receive people."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Tang Ping didn't embarrass him, and there was nothing wrong with what Liu Hong said.
There were not as many people in the entire city as there were Tang soldiers, so there was really no way to receive them.
Moreover, they had their own marching tents and other things, and they started setting them up as soon as they stopped. In less than a moment, a camp appeared.
Liu Hong sighed: "He is indeed the strongest Black Armor Cavalry in the Tang Dynasty."
After saying this, he was glared at by several Xuanjia Cavalry soldiers, which made him feel that the horse was slapped on the horse's leg.
It seems that the news of tanks appearing in the Tang Dynasty Ceremony has not reached here yet.
Tang Ping took a sip of tea and then asked: "I heard that the king of Nanzhao is seriously ill?"
"Yes!" Liu Hong sighed worriedly after hearing what Tang Ping said: "I have been ill for a long time. About four months ago, the king stopped going to the morning court."
Tang Ping looked at Liu Hong's expression and it seemed that it was not fake, but the people in Honglu Temple couldn't tell for sure.
So he continued to ask: "Then who is in charge of Nanzhao Kingdom now?"
Liu Hong sighed again: "Now everyone in Nanzhao wants to take care of it. Not only the king is sick, but also several princes have become sick one after another."
"Huh?" Tang Ping was surprised. If Liu Hong hadn't lied, then the problem would be a bit complicated.
"Could it be that you have some infectious disease?"
If it's an infectious disease, then they all have to be careful.
"No." Liu Hong shook his head: "The strange thing is that except for the king and a few princes, there is no problem with the guards, the maids who serve them, or the doctors who treat them."
As long as it's not an infectious disease, it's fine, otherwise Tang Ping would have to consider whether to go to Chuxiong.
"Then do you know what the symptoms are?" Li Shan asked curiously.
Liu Hong looked at Li Shan, who was wearing a strange short shirt and didn't look like he was from the Tang Dynasty. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Ping explained to him:
"This is Dr. Li. In our Tang Dynasty, both His Majesty and the princes and ministers all lined up to see him."
"This time our Majesty the Tang Dynasty learned that your king of Nanzhao is seriously ill, so he specially asked me to bring Dr. Li to show your king."
When Liu Hong heard that Li Shan was a miracle doctor from the Tang Dynasty, he quickly bowed and said, "I was so negligent just now, please forgive me for my sins."
"It's okay, it's okay. Just tell me how your king and several princes have recovered."
"Yes!" Liu Hong tried his best to recall and said: "Because I am employed at Honglu Temple, I don't know that much about what happened in the palace. But it is said that the king and several princes have similar symptoms."
"Usually everything seems to be fine, but after a while I will shed tears, sneeze, shiver, and my mood is still... very bad."
After all, he was talking about his own king. Although the miracle doctor in front of him was asking about symptoms, Liu Hong still hesitated before speaking out.
Li Shan was a little confused after hearing this: "You mean you are usually fine, but you will get sick after a while?"
"I heard the news from the palace is this." Liu Hong nodded and said: "It is said that this happens several times a day, but other conditions are normal. It is just that the pain is abnormal when it attacks."
"So the king and the prince were unable to handle the affairs of the state, and entrusted the affairs of the state to Bu Xie and Zheng Luofeng. It was just that many of the courtiers were dissatisfied... so the Nanzhao Kingdom was in chaos. As a result, no one was sent to the Tang Dynasty grand ceremony."
Bu Xie is from Nanzhao
As for the position of prime minister, some of their official positions imitated the Tang Dynasty, but some still retained their own characteristics.
Buxie is one of them.
And he spoke in such detail to explain why no one went to Nanzhao for the grand ceremony of the Tang Dynasty.
"How many times a day does it happen..." Li Shan thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "The symptoms you mentioned are quite common. Tears, sneezing, chills, etc. will also appear when there is a fever."
"But it's impossible to repeat it several times a day for several months..."
He looked at Tang Ping and said, "Just listening to what Mr. Liu said, it's still difficult to tell what the specific disease is. I'm afraid it can only be clear by looking at it in detail."
Tang Ping also knew that this Liu Hong was originally just told by hearsay, and what he said may not be accurate.
Even if is accurate, it’s really hard to tell what the symptoms are from these symptoms, so he nodded and said: “Okay, let’s take a rest and wait for tomorrow morning Head to Chuxiong.”
It can be seen that Liu Hong tried his best and arranged for people to deliver a lot of supplies, mostly live cattle, sheep and other livestock.
Gou Shaoqun got a few steaks and asked Li Shan while grilling them: "I really can't tell what the symptoms are?"
Li Shan glanced at him and knew that Gou Shaoqun would not ask this question if nothing happened, so he replied: "I really can't tell, but I have a suspicion."
"What a coincidence, I also have a suspicion." Gou Shaoqun said mysteriously: "How about we use tea to write it down on this table? Let's see if we think the same thing?"
"Okay!" Li Shan dipped his finger in some tea and wrote two words on the table, while Gou Shaoqun also wrote two words at the same time.
Then the two people compared it. Although the two words they wrote were completely different, they had the same meaning.
At this time Tang Ping came over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Li Shan and Gou Shaoqun both looked at Tang Ping seriously and said, "Brother Ping, if our suspicions are correct, then going to Nanzhao this time may not be that simple."
Tang Ping looked at the two words written by two people on the table that Gou Shaoqun pointed at, and his pupils trembled.
"You are saying that...the king of Nanzhao is not actually ill?"
"Right now I'm just speculating. I'll know if it's true the day after tomorrow!"
