"Lord, someone is coming from the inner city! They are riding to Chengdu!" Han Jiu's high-octave voice sounded in front of the palace.
Xu Mu looked surprised and hurriedly walked out of the palace. He only thought that it was a miracle doctor who came to Shu, but he didn't expect that it was Chang Wei, waving to him from a distance.
With seven or eight riders, Xiao Changwei stood out from the crowd wearing a majestic black armor.
Xu Mu frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy, lingering in his heart.
"Han Jiu, go tell Si Hu that his old friend is here."
Han Jiu ran back quickly.
Exhaling a breath, Xu Mu stepped forward.
Seeing Chang Wei again, Xu Mu felt as if he was a lifetime away. The last time, it should have been during the meeting in Jubeidi. He took Chang Wei and rushed into the Saibei grassland to fight in and out.
But at this moment, Chang Wei in front of him has finally lost his youthfulness, grown a light beard, and moved with a military spirit.
The old friend is no longer the Amon of yesterday.
"Little boss!" Chang Wei was very excited, got off his horse, and rushed towards Xu Mu. As soon as he got close, there was a set of small punches.
"I miss you so much!"
"I miss you too." Xu Mu also smiled.
He has always been very relaxed about Chang Wei.
"Where's the tiger? Where's my tiger?"
"I guess he is running over crying."
After a pause, Xu Mu raised his head and spoke slowly.
"Chang Wei, the matter of the miracle doctor——"
Chang Wei sighed, "There is an old man in Yuzhou City. Last year during the war in Laizhou, he dragged his family all the way to the inner city. My young master went to invite him. This man has a very weird temper. I didn't give him any money. He just said he was busy and couldn't leave the inner city."
"However, I secretly told me about my illness. The old guy thought about it and said that it was caused by overwork, and he might have internal sores on his brain."
Xu Mu was stunned immediately. He asked Jia Zhou, and Jia Zhou said that his brain often suffered from numbness and pain.
The miracle doctor in the inner city guessed it without even taking a pulse. However, Jia Zhou's situation is really not good. No wonder so many good doctors in Shuzhou are at a loss.
"Xiao Dongjia, I used the knife to scare him! In my heart, Chang Wei, the first one is the young master, and the second one is the Xiao Dongjia! If something happens to the Xiao Dongjia, I will definitely help. But... Military Master Liu, let me I don’t want to mess around.”
"Liu Zhongde?"
"That's him. My young master calls him the best assistant in the world."
Xu Mu was silent for a while, and then spoke again.
"Chang Wei, how good is that miracle doctor?"
"I heard that he is as famous as the miracle doctor Li Wang'er. Many people in the inner city come to see him for medical treatment. But again, this old man is very weird. He never visits the doctor and doesn't pay any amount of money."
Li Wang'er was the one who originally treated the young Marquis, but the poison penetrated his heart, so he had to spend all his efforts to refine a life-sustaining medicine, and finally died.
"Don't worry, little boss. I, Chang Wei, came here personally just to help. I will personally send Military Master Jia to the inner city. When he is cured, I will personally send him back."
Xu Mu didn't know how to answer. He can trust Chang Wei and even Chang Shiro, but he can't trust the counselors in the inner city and the aristocratic families whose interests are in line with them.
In this world, anyone who can stand out will not be a fool. There are too many people who want to poison the owl to death.
Seeing Xu Mu not speaking, Chang Wei's face turned red.
"I, Chang Wei, am now a general, and I will definitely not betray my little master. I dare not forget the time when my little master took me to kill him in the Saibei Grassland."
"Chang Wei, of course I believe you." Xu Mu smiled and patted Chang Wei on the shoulder, "Don't be anxious, enter the city first and see the scenery of Chengdu. Chang Wei, you have been to Qingguan in the inner city. Alright?"
Chang Wei hurriedly argued, "My young master took me there, and I just sat in the lobby and cracked melon seeds all night. My little boss, that's impossible. I, Chang Wei, want to be a general, so how could I go to the land of fireworks?"
"No, that's not the case. The madam wanted to be spared the money for the night, but I didn't even go. He hugged me by the leg and pulled me, but I just walked forward."
"Little boss, please don't slander me. The discounted Hua Niang costs two taels. Some time ago, I even charged one or two half for the Lantern Festival. I have a friend who heard that he went there and asked for money to listen to the music."
Listening to Chang Wei's chatter, Xu Mu suddenly understood in his heart that this should be... a real deal. It has been done.
He asked casually, "Good guy, to be a great general is to hide your authority."
"Let's enter the city..."
Chang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and his flushed face slowly calmed down.
"Chang Wei, how is your young master doing during the war?"
"What else can we do? Military Master Liu said that he must find a way to conquer the four states of Hebei next year. However, Military Master Liu doesn't like me. He always feels that my background is not good. I was originally a small guard. But I followed him when I was seven years old. Young Master, when the Young Master was young, he lost a fight and I carried him on his back."
"The young master originally agreed to let me be a vanguard general, but later, he changed it to a son of a noble family... If the young master doesn't talk about it later, I don't dare to ask."
Xu Mu paused and remembered what happened last year.
The young Marquis was still alive, and Chang Shiro had not yet rebelled. Among the people coming and going, what he saw the most was Chang Wei driving a carriage, driving Chang Shiro around.
"Young master, you don't know, but I still like... the young master only wants to be a rice merchant." Chang Wei hesitated, and there was an indescribable gloominess in his eyes.
Xu Mu turned his head and took a serious look at Chang Wei.
"Chang Wei, if one day you can't survive, come here to Shuzhou. Don't forget that in this world, I, Xu Mu, am also your brother."
Chang Wei thought it was a joke, pursed his lips, and said a few more nasty words.
"Little Chang Wei, my little Chang Wei!" At this moment, Si Hu's high-octave voice really started to cry.
"Tiger, my brother Tiger!"
On the official road outside the city, two big, crying men talked about their true feelings regardless of other people's eyes.
…
"Does the King of Yuzhou mean it, or does the miracle doctor mean it?" Dongfang Jing frowned, "Master, if the teacher goes to the inner city, if something bad happens, there will be no one to help."
"It should mean the miracle doctor." Xu Mu was silent for a while before spitting out.
Changshiro might lie to him, but Changwei would not. He can tell without even trying. Of course, it doesn't rule out that someone is setting things up.
"We don't have much time. Wenlong vomited blood again yesterday."
"Lord, I know... you and the King of Yuzhou are very good old friends. But in these troubled times, it is a struggle for interests."
"When the teacher dies, many people in the world will applaud him."
Poisonous Eagle's name has long been resounding throughout the world. In the battle of Fushan when he resisted Chen Changqing, he defeated Rulong in one fell swoop and shocked many people's jaws.
Dongfang Jing's voice was still full of worry, "If there is a miracle doctor, he will definitely cure it. We can only send more dead soldiers and masters. In addition, 10,000 troops will leave Shu from Xiangjiang River to respond at any time-"
"I'll accompany Wenlong."
In the palace, Xu Mu's voice was not loud, but it made Dongfang Jing in front of him freeze on the spot for a moment.
"My lord, how can this be done? As the king of Shu, you should sit in the fourteen counties of Shuzhou."
Xu Mu calmly shook his head, "I don't worry about others going. And Wenlong's illness can't be delayed any longer."
"But my lord——"
"Bo Lie, if I don't do this and Wenlong has an accident, how will I deal with it? If Wenlong can be cured, there's no harm in taking some risks."
“I will try to find a way to come back around the beginning of spring.”
Dongfang raised his hands and bowed his head, his body trembling, and he burst into tears for a while.
