Chapter 200
The rain continued for two days before it stopped. After the rain, the sky cleared up, the air was moist, a rainbow bridge hung on the horizon, and the fragrance of trees and soil in the mountains and forests filled our noses. The fresh smell made people feel refreshed.
The soldiers got up early and prepared to pack their bags and hit the road again.
Huilan also carried a medicine bag with her, which contained some necessary antidote medicine Bigu Dan as well as a small kettle, flints, ropes and other things.
Past experience told her that she must not rely entirely on space. Once the space cannot be opened, she will be in dire straits. Therefore, it is necessary to carry some life-saving medicine and outdoor survival equipment with you. Storage bags are also hung, eggs. You can't put everything in one basket.
Wearing a neat Hufu with a waistband, light gray cloth soap boots, and her hair combed into a simple Taoist nun hairstyle, she is most suitable for going out.
Li Chengze also came out, dressed almost in the same way. Without his fancy clothes, he looked even more elegant and handsome.
"Let's go, let's set off."
Li Chengze got on the horse, but Huilan got into the carriage and planned to read the jade slips.
Pei Xin also followed up on horseback, "Your Highness, I bought the things, shall I distribute them now?"
"Well, send it on."
Pei Xin came back from the small shop and bought a batch of water bladders. Huilan thought that the water bladders they brought were far from enough, so she went to buy some more. It would be sunny in a few days, so she brought a few more water bladders just in case. .
They will reach their destination in a few days' walk. They are going to a town deep in Yunnan. This is a natural military fortress where someone is waiting for the handover.
This time, I may stay in Yunnan for about three years, dealing with the struggles between Yunnan tribes, as well as frictions with neighboring small countries such as Nanzhao Kingdom, and fighting from time to time.
That afternoon they were going to find a water source to camp down. Huilan took a packet of medicine and handed it to Pei Liang, "Give this to the general, put it in a pot and boil it, and each person will drink a bowl."
"yes."
Pei Liang went to General Xu with the medicine, "General, Mrs. Xi said to boil this medicine and let everyone drink a bowl."
"Um, this..."
General Xu was a little hesitant about the food he was about to put into his mouth. He was not sure whether it was true or not, and he did not doubt Huilan's intentions.
A young general next to General Xu took it and smelled it, and couldn't help but frown, "I can't tell you what kind of medicine this is, and it smells so bad. Besides, our brothers are very strong and don't need to take medicine. It's for us." Thank you madam, this will not be needed for the time being."
How can we take medicine when we have nothing to do? Besides, we are not sick, so what kind of disease is this being treated for?
Pei Liang's face turned cold, "Are you sure you don't want to?"
Li Tong saw it and ran over quickly, "Give it to me, I'll take care of it. Thank you very much, Liangzi."
After saying that, he grabbed Pei Liang and patted him on the shoulder, hinting him not to cause trouble.
Pei Liang sneered, "Madam never does useless work, just forget it if you don't eat it, just don't regret it."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The junior officer's name was Zhang Yu. He rolled up his sleeves angrily and was about to step forward to beat him, but Li Tong grabbed him and said, "We are all our own people, so don't worry about it."
"What kind of attitude does he have? I just said I'm not sick and don't need to take medicine. Why should he look at people with his nostrils?"
Zhang Yu's face turned red with anger.
"Brother, I believe in you, there are a lot of poisonous traps here. Madam really means well. I have to ask Madam to treat old injuries myself. Her medical skills are even better than those of the imperial doctor. If she says it works, it will definitely work."
"You go ahead and eat it. There's nothing wrong with drinking that kind of medicine. You'll feel so good."
Zhang Yu shook off his arm, turned around and left.
General Xu touched his chin and asked Li Tong doubtfully, "Is Mrs. Xi very skilled in medicine?"
"General, I was brought up by you. You know very well what my martial arts skills were like in the past. It is all the credit of my wife that I have improved so quickly now. Her medical skills and alchemy skills are particularly powerful. You believe me, she gave me
We must take the medicine, and with Your Highness here, she will never harm us."
General Xu waved his hand, "That's not what I meant. You know, these wolf cubs are most afraid of taking medicine. They would rather get a knife than drink the bitter medicine. Since she said she wanted to take it, then take it. I never
I never doubted her, hey! I'm also afraid of taking medicine."
The old man left with his hands behind his back.
Li Tong personally boiled the water and boiled the medicine, and gave everyone a bowl. "Come and drink this. Everyone must drink it. This is the general's order. It is to prevent poisonous diseases. Everyone must drink it."
The soldiers didn't ask so many questions, and they all drank. Only Zhang Yu took a gamble and didn't drink. Li Tong shook his head slightly and didn't persuade him anymore. Forget it, he won't learn to be good without some hardship.
They set off early the next morning at dawn. The white fog in the mountain forest became thicker and thicker, and the sunlight was almost invisible. They had to pass through the mountain forest before turning onto the official road.
I don't know how long everyone has been walking, and some of them are tired. General Xu looked at the sky and couldn't tell what time it was. It was foggy, and it seemed that after walking for two or three hours, it was time to take a rest.
"Take a rest and eat something."
"yes."
Zhang Yu felt more and more uncomfortable when he got off the horse. He fell over with a plop, his whole face was like gold paper, and his face was extremely ugly.
"Zhang Yu, what's going on? Military doctor."
They brought their own military doctor with them, and when they drank the medicine last night, the military doctor also drank it. He also said that it was a good medicine, so don't worry about drinking it. The general believed Li Tong's words.
The military doctor hurried over with a medicine box on his back. He looked at his eyes and took his pulse before saying, "He was poisoned. The mist is poisonous. It's a poison barrier. Did he not drink medicine last night?"
Li Tong nodded quickly, "Yes, he didn't take medicine."
"Nonsense, why don't you take medicine? Why don't you ask me?"
The military doctor immediately became angry. Even if you don't trust Mrs. Xi, you can come over and ask me. I've already drank. How can a big man do such a petty thing?
"Maybe he's afraid of taking medicine."
The military doctor angrily used gold needles to seal his acupuncture points, temporarily closing his heart veins to prevent the poison from entering his lungs.
"General, this poison barrier is very troublesome. I am not good at detoxifying, and the medicine in my hand is not complete. I have to ask Mrs. Xi. I told you that her medicine is very good. I drank the medicine soup yesterday and I know
This is a master."
General Xu sighed in annoyance. He hesitated a little yesterday. Zhang Yu always acted based on his expression. He probably thought that he looked down on Mrs. Xi and suspected that she was unreliable, so he refused to take the medicine.
"I'm going to ask Madam."
General Xu gritted his teeth and bowed his head for the sake of his subordinates.
"I'll go with you, I'll tell you."
Li Tong stood up and voluntarily bowed his head for the general.
General Xu waved his hand, "It's my fault. I never took her ability seriously. If I could have respected her a little more earlier, I wouldn't have ended up like this. I'm going to admit my mistake and ask my wife to save Zhang Yu."
Li Tong was very worried. It would be very costly for Madam to save people, and not everyone had such a good life that she could take a fancy to and save them.
"The madam has a very bad temper and cannot be saved by anyone."
Li Tong twitched the corner of his mouth uglyly.
"I made a mistake, I'm going to apologize."
