Everyone rushed out of Meng Yutang separately and searched every residence within 300 steps, but did not see any archers. I guess the Tibetans were well prepared. After shooting nine arrows in a row, they immediately pretended to be local businessmen and businessmen. Break them into pieces and evacuate them in batches. When everyone discovers that they have been tricked, where will they go to find someone?
When I returned to Meng Yutang, I discovered that Ma Xiangzhong Bajie had also escaped long ago. Jiang Shuo slapped his thigh in annoyance and said, "I fell into the trick of old Fatty Ma and let him run away." Dugu Wen consoled him, "This Tibetan named Ma is a very important person. He just went around you and knocked on the door." The purpose of hitting the golden pestle is to position the archer. I guess he has more than one way to escape. Even if you see through this plan, he will still have a way to escape." Tuoba Chaoguang also said: "I always thought that we The long archers of the Jingbian Army are invincible in the world. Looking at the archery skills of the Tibetan people today, it seems that they are not inferior to the long archers of my grandfather. If they can really listen to the sound and identify the position at such a long distance, and accurately shoot the arrows, That's really a formidable enemy, Young Master Jiang, I think you'd better not chase them, just in case the other party is ambushing you with back-ups." Ge Ruliang also advised: "Shuo'er, the purpose of our trip is not to capture the Tubo people, but to capture them. Just drive them away, don't delay the business." After hearing what the three said, Jiang Shuo could only give up the idea of chasing Ma Xiangzhong Bajie again.
Everyone split up to check the people who were injured by the arrows. Thanks to the help of the heroes in the Jianghu, no one of the Xiang Qiang people in the Xihai Party was shot to death, only one person was seriously injured, and no one was lightly injured. Otherwise, the casualties would have been heavy.
The most ridiculous thing is that after Meng Lu was knocked away by Ma Xiangzhong Bajie, he fainted and fell to the ground. No one cared about him, but he was shot in the thigh by random arrows. Fortunately, Tuoba Qimei and all the Xihai Party members braved the rain of arrows to drag him away. Entering the house, his life was saved.
Meng Lu was shot by an arrow, and there was no one who could wake up. Fortunately, he was a famous doctor himself, and he had many capable doctors under his command. Everyone worked together, picking out the arrowheads, stopping the bleeding, and applying medicine. , and wrapped the wound tightly with white cloth.
Jiang Shuo waited for his wound to be taken care of before he came forward to see him and said, "Mr. Meng, Shuo is not presumptuous and comes uninvited. Please forgive me." Meng Lu injured her leg and couldn't get up, so she had to lean on the couch. , returned the courtesy to Jiang Shuo, and asked doubtfully: "Isn't this the young master of the Jianghu Alliance, Jiang Suzhi? Why did you come to Jincheng?" When he was knocked unconscious, Jiang Shuo and others had not yet appeared, so they suddenly saw the heroes of the Jianghu. , he was confused and didn’t know when they came.
Jiang Shuo hurriedly talked about what happened before. Meng Lu crossed his hands again and said, "Thank you, Young Master Jiang, for your righteousness in saving you." Jiang Shuo said, "Master Meng, it wasn't me who saved you, but Brother Tuoba who took the risk himself." Bow and arrow, drag you back into the house from the courtyard, otherwise there will be chaos in the courtyard, and even if you are not shot to death, you will be trampled to death." Meng Lu actually woke up as soon as he was hit by the arrow, so how could the Xiang Qiang people of the Xihai Party save him? When he returned to the house, he knew all about it. It was just that he had been very rude to the Dangxiang Qiang people earlier and felt ashamed, so he pretended to be unconscious and dared not speak. Although Tuoba Qimei saved him, he did not want to take credit and had made peace with him early. Chinese medicine farmer Xiang Qiang stood far away.
At this moment, Jiang Shuo handed over the words. He struggled to get up, knelt on the couch, and said to Tuoba Qimei on the other side of the room: "Brother Qimei, thank you so much for helping me regardless of the past grudges. If it weren't for you, Meng would not be here today." This old fate is settled." Tuoba Qimei ignored him at first, but seeing Meng Lu kneeling on the couch for a long time, he had to step forward to lift him up and said: "Mr. Meng, the Xiang Qiang people in our party are the most important In fact, although you are mean, you are also the food, clothing and parents of the medicine people. We miss your kindness and cannot bear to see you die in an unknown manner." Meng Lu choked up and said: "I am blind and angry. I believed the lies of the Tubo people and made the Dangxiang brothers suffer...I, I...I regret it." As he spoke, tears flowed down his face and he began to sob.
Meng Lu, a profiteer, may be crying partly from his heart, but it must also be a show. Naturally, Tuoba Qimei would not take it seriously and said: "Mr. Meng, you don't need to do this. Since we have already signed the contract, , then it will still be the same business, just pretend that this thing has never happened, I wonder what you think, Master Meng?" Meng Lu said: "Of course, of course... I will increase the price by 10%!" At this moment Cangtou, who had gone to the government office to have his official seal stamped, came back. He bowed down and said, "Sir, the matter has been done!" He saw countless arrows stuck inside and outside Meng Yutang's house, and he was secretly frightened. There was another group of unknown people. The young and old men and women who came from nowhere didn't know what happened for a moment and didn't dare to ask. They just lowered their heads and handed over the paperwork.
Meng Lu waved his hand and refused to take the document and said: "Quickly, ask the gentleman who wrote the contract to rewrite the contract and increase the price by 10%!" It seems that this is Meng Lu's common routine. No matter whether Meng Yutang is writing or cangtou, no one can move. pace.
Tuoba Qimei chuckled, took the contract from the Cangtou's hand, unfolded it, read it, folded it again, put it into his arms, and said: "Mr. Meng, don't bother, it's our duty to save you, It's not for profit." Meng Lu said hurriedly: "Yes, yes... Brother Qimei is so righteous, but I seem to be a philistine. In this way, I will ask the people in the hall to not deduct or make things difficult when collecting medicinal materials next time. I have repaid the Party Xiang Qiang people with my heart." However, these words could not be taken seriously, Tuoba Qimei just smiled lightly and had no words to explain.
Tuoba Chaoguang said to Qimei: "Brother, why do you have to work for this profiteer again? My grandfather has already said that the saint gave Xiang Qingzhou Hue County and Xiazhou Shuofang County the land of sixteen states. The Dangxiang people have settled down. If you take the people to move inland, he is willing to give up Qingzhou and let us go to Xiazhou. The Tuoba family is of the same clan and we really don’t want to see you, brother, suffer from the oppression of the Tubo people again." Tuoba Qimei sighed: "Chaoguang, I know your thoughts, but it's hard to leave your homeland. The West Sea is the hometown of our ancestors. Everyone has left. What about the tombs of our ancestors on the Dafeichuan Ridge? I always want to stay a little longer. Just stay one more day, and stay one more hour." As soon as he said this, Chao Guang had nothing to say and could only respond in silence.
Cheng Qianli pushed Jiang Shuo gently from behind and said, "Young Master, our business has not been done yet." After being reminded by Cheng Qianli, Jiang Shuo hurriedly crossed his hands at Meng Lu and said, "Mr. Meng, Shuo has one more thing to do." I would like to ask, did Quan Xingjian, Quan Daxian, bring an injured person to your side?" Meng Lu slapped his forehead repeatedly and said: "Damn it, damn it, I should have thought that you are here for this, young master, Quan Daxian But I have been here before, and I was accompanied by Xie Yanchang, the leader of the Western Gang, Xie Laoyingxiong, and Nan Jiyun, the Jizhong hero. I should have thought that they are all your subordinates, Young Master Jiang... A capital crime... a capital crime... "Duguxiang saw that Meng Lu was confused, so he stepped forward to interrupt him and asked: "Don't say it's useless, where are Quan Daxian and the others now?" Meng Lu answered strangely and asked: "Ah, that little girl... ...I think it’s impossible. I only have one breath left, but my soul is gone. I’m afraid it’s hard to be saved by gods and ghosts...” Dugu Xiang grabbed Meng Lu’s collar angrily and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you to curse Ye? My sister?" Dugu Xiang felt very sorry for Ye Qingyao being stabbed, so he was very concerned about her injury. Hearing what Meng Lu said, he couldn't help but get angry and threatened to hit her.
Meng Lu was pulled by her, and the arrow wound on her leg was pulled. She screamed loudly and begged for mercy: "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore... Miss Ye is so blessed that she can turn danger into danger and live a long life." "Ge Ruliang couldn't help frowning when he saw his daughter being so presumptuous, and pulled her hand away and said: "It's ridiculous, how can you be so presumptuous to Senior Meng!" Dugu Xiang was quite afraid of her, so he had to step aside. Ge Ruliang helped Meng Lu lie down again. , then said: "Mr. Meng, please tell me slowly, what is going on." Meng Lu then told the story exactly.
It turned out that Quan Xingjian and others had arrived in Jincheng five days ago. Quan Xingjian thought that there was a branch of Meng Yutang in Jincheng, so he wanted to try his luck to see if there were any herbs that could cure apathy.
Guo Ziyi was the military envoy of Zhenwu and was now under the control of Longyou Jiedushi. He led his army to Huangshui City in Shanzhou, so Meng Lu did not see Guo Ziyi's large army.
Quan Xingjian and others did not expect Meng Lu to be in Jincheng Pharmacy, so they invited Meng Lu to treat Ye Qingyao's condition.
Meng Shen, the ancestor of Meng Lu, was a great doctor in the Tang Dynasty. He was originally a scholar. He was awarded the title of Jinshi, and was awarded the title of medicine. Tao, author of "Dietotherapeutic Materia Medica", is the ancestor of traditional Chinese medicine and dietary therapy.
Meng Yutang is the direct descendant of Meng Shen, but Meng Lu's skills are all in the business world. It is recorded in Meng Shen's book that ice silkworms eat medicine. Meng Lu does not ask for a clear explanation, but only says that ice silkworms can bring people back to life and cure all diseases. He was very generous to his colleague Quan Xingjian. He gave him a large bag of ice silkworms and asked him to grind it into powder and drink it with Ye Qingyao and water.
But they didn’t know that ice silkworm is the best medicine for calming the lungs and nourishing the kidneys. It has miraculous effects in replenishing qi and replenishing deficiency. However, Ye Qingyao’s symptoms are caused by evil rather than deficiency. The supplement is useless but harmful. Quan Xingjian doesn’t know the pharmacology of ice silkworm and only talks about Menglu. After being a famous doctor, the great doctor of the world gave Ye Qingyao the ice silkworm according to his prescription without much thought for two days.
At first, her complexion gradually became rosy, and it seemed to be effective. However, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Originally, Ye Qingyao's breath was weak, the energy consumption was minimal, and she could still maintain balance.
At this moment, the inner breath is gradually replenishing, but the soul does not hold on, which in turn accelerates the signs of exhaustion. Quan Xingjian was shocked and had to calm down Ye Qingyao's inner breath immediately, but the weather was getting hotter and hotter at this time, and the energy of the human body combined with the four seasons. When it is hot, it will be full, and when it is cold, it will be restrained. Ye Qingyao's injuries were even more harmful.
This time Meng Lu finally came up with the right idea. He suggested that everyone cross Longyou and enter Dafeichuan. There is a glacier that has not melted for thousands of years on the top of the mountain. He took Ye Qingyao there and hid it in the ice. Among them, it can lower her heartbeat, slow down the flow of her inner breath, and prolong her life. We are slowly looking for life-saving medicine.
Meng Lu wrote a letter asking Quan Xingjian to go to Dafeichuan to look for Tuoba Qimei. Quan Xingjian and others did not dare to delay, so they hurried westward. Unexpectedly, after only three days, Tuoba Qimei brought him. Many drug farmers came to the door, but two groups of people happened to miss it.
After hearing this, Dugu Xiang jumped up again and pretended to beat Meng Lu, saying: "You are a quack doctor. You are using medicine indiscriminately. If you harm the life of the Ye family girl, I will sacrifice your life." Jiang Shuo stopped him. She said: "Mr. Meng is also kind-hearted. Ice silkworms are good medicine. Xiao Yezi's injury is too weird. No famous doctor can guarantee it." Ge Ruliang also said: "For the current plan, we should go to Dafeichuan to find Quanxing as soon as possible. Jian and his party are the main ones. They can't find the Dangxiang Qiang people. If they get lost in the high mountains, they will have nowhere to look for them." Tuoba Qimei heard this and said: "Jiang is helping me today. It's your business. We have to help each other. If you ask me, we will set off back to Dafeichuan immediately. Tang and Tibet may have another war soon, and it will be terrible if the army and horses block the road."
