It's probably because I haven't heard anyone call me that for many years.
Liu Li, no, it should be Pharmacist Guo.
He looked at the chopsticks scattered across the table, but he didn't feel nervous at all.
"Master Xin, are there any more?"
"Well," Liu Bang thought for a while, "when I heard your name that day, that little girl Daoji gave me a few words of advice."
"It is said that in their rules for being a monk, there is an image of an herb holding something called...Tathagata of Glazed Light? Is that the name?"
After hearing Liu Qi confirm his statement, Liu Bang continued:
"Your name does conflict with that of Buddha, but that Tathagata of Light has another name, Medicine Buddha... Why did you go to imitate those monks if you don't behave like a golden man?"
"Just study. You even keep your hair. It's so nondescript, but it suits your nature."
Pharmacist Guo smiled instead of being angry: "That's because his master Buddha imitated us. I have no intention of imitating him."
"But Mr. Xin, now that you know so much, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you here."
"It doesn't matter, but before that, I still want to ask you three things."
"Must I ask?"
"You must ask."
Pharmacist Guo sighed lightly and said, "You scholars are just too curious."
Liu Bang was not very happy when he heard his comments.
To say that you are a scholar is not a curse!
This old boy's words are much dirtier than his own.
"You ask, I will tell you what I can tell you."
I ordered someone to clean the table. The two of them had been here for a long time and the dishes were getting cold.
When the food and wine were served, Liu Bang said:
"That ever-victorious army was disrupted and dispersed among the Jin Army? Can you still contact us?"
At that time, that army could almost be said to have been supported by the entire Song Dynasty. It was the first division of the Song army. Its performance against the Jin people was not inferior to that of Yue Fei's troops...
To put it bluntly, Liu Bang wanted it very much.
Even if some of them are old, according to the Jin people's habit of using the Song people, their descendants should also be soldiers.
In this way, if we can get in touch, we might not be able to stab the Liao and Song Dynasties, and then stab the Jin Kingdom.
Pharmacist Guo drank a glass of wine and did not answer directly:
"I really admire and like people with your courage and courage."
"But you..." He shook his head, "But you are still no different from other Song people."
"The Ever-Victorious Army is not an object, but a living person. Why do you all want to treat them like beasts, do whatever you want and do whatever you want?"
Liu Bang recalled what he said to see if he was really wrong.
But soon, he denied looking for the reason from himself.
This Pharmacist Guo is really very sensitive.
"Why, have others asked you about their information?"
"Of course there is," Medical Master Guo smiled scornfully, "Lu Yihao, the prime minister of the Zhao family's ninth son, when I surrendered to the Jin people, this old guy was just an envoy."
"But he did have some backbone. At that time, he had the toughest mouth. Even if I beat him or killed him, I couldn't scare him. In the end, I tied him up and let him go to the Kingdom of Jin with me."
"When he was about to die a few years ago, he was like mourning here. He begged me and threatened me, insisting that I contact the Chang Sheng Army to bring the emperor of the Zhao family back."
"What are you bringing back? Are you going to sell his Song Kingdom?"
"Ninth Boy has done a very good job in this matter, and he is quite superior to others, so I rejected him."
His words were so disrespectful. Liu Qi frowned and looked at his emperor with some worry.
To people like Liu Dushi, Medicine Master Guo was a traitor to the country, and the trouble in Jingkang was caused by him. Even if he was cut into pieces with a thousand swords, it would not be enough to realize his serious crime.
Liu Bang didn't think anything of it. To a certain extent, he and Medicine Master Guo had similar ideas.
"So, Marshal Guo, are you willing to tell me?"
"It doesn't matter, you are going to die anyway, and the people we respect the most are the dead."
Pharmacist Guo paused and then said:
"The Liao people believe in me because I was born among the hungry people of Liaodong and have suffered from the Jin people for a long time; the Liao people doubt me because no matter what I do or what I do, I am still the blood of Han people in my bones."
"On the contrary, the people of the Song Dynasty believed in me because I was a Han son; the people of the Song Dynasty doubted me because I grew up in the Liao border, was a captive general, and was a barbarian."
"In this way, after the first siege of Kaifeng, Wanyan Zongwang asked me: 'How did the Emperor Tianzuo of Liao treat you?' I said yes; he asked again: 'How did the Emperor of Song treat you?', I Said it was quite good; so he said: "Emperor Tian Zuo was good to you, but you rebelled against him; Emperor Zhao was nicer to you, but you rebelled against him again. The Kingdom of Jin does not have so many things to give you, and you will definitely rebel in the future." of'."
"In the end, Wanyan Zongwang deceived the main force of the Ever-victorious Army, ten thousand people, into the Songting Pass to be killed. Now, I am the only one left in the Ever-Victorious Army... Mr. Xin, this is the answer you want."
"Alas!" Liu Bang slapped the table angrily, "What a pity!"
The thing he cared about the most failed to come to fruition, and his own mood also deteriorated.
"It's a pity, it's a pity that the Song Dynasty lacks 8,000 troops, right?"
Liu Bang cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's a pity that eight thousand people didn't even resist, so they died in vain."
"Second, you have been operating in Lin'an for many years, and it is impossible that you have never exposed yourself. How many people in this court are related to you?"
Pharmacist Guo wanted to persuade him, but he was about to die, so why should he care about the Zhao family?
It is better to eat two more bites of food and drink two more glasses of wine. These are the things that really concern you.
However, I also know that these literati are the most stubborn and are too lazy to waste their thoughts, so they just said:
"I told you that day that I don't like the peacemakers, and there aren't many warlords. I'll send all the ones who can be sent across the river, but you... have been in Lin'an for many years, but you have always been It’s my fault that I ignored a man like Mr. Xin.”
"Hmm... thirdly, you were completely wiped out by Wanyan Zongwang. How did you come to Lin'an, and where did you get the money?"
Pharmacist Guo smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that I sent many people to various places in the Song Dynasty to do business."
"The ever-victorious army that paid gold is gone, but the ever-victorious army of the Song Dynasty is still there."
"As for how you came to Lin'an... Mr. Xin, this matter involves other people, so I can't reveal it to you."
"You've finished asking. Let me offer you another glass of wine. Have a good journey on the road to hell, and don't be a Song Dynasty person in the next life."
As he spoke, Pharmacist Guo raised his cup and looked at Liu Bang with great sincerity.
"Are you so capable that you can kill imperial officials in Lin'an City without having to worry?"
"Of course not," said Pharmacist Guo, "It's still a bit troublesome, but it's not important anymore."
"Well," Liu Bang nodded, looking at Liu Qi who looked calm, "just take what you can, and you have heard what I said just now. Let's see if you can ask me anything else."
Liu Qi bowed and said... Sibei Tower, which was originally very quiet, started to become restless from outside.
