Chapter 56(1/2)
After Guan Liu left, there was no movement.
Xie Changgeng waited overnight. At noon the next day, he was a little uneasy and was about to send someone to ask, but a follower returned quickly and brought back a message.
When Liu Guan arrived at the horse farm in the middle of the night, he saw the face of the master of Weng. After talking about the situation, the master of Weng set out to the Mahe Valley. Liu Guan led a team of people to escort the accompanying party.
The follower said that at this time, the group should have arrived.
The car Mu Fulan was riding in stopped at the intersection leading to Mahe Valley.
Although the two armies confronted each other and arrows flew across the sky, although the scene of the fire flying was gone, there were still traces of burning fire everywhere on the side of the road. The locals did not take the precautions, and there were still checkpoints and people at the entrance of the valley. When they learned that the Jiedushi's wife was coming, they heard that she was only allowed to enter, and the rest could not enter.
Manager Liu was going to negotiate. Mu Fulan said, "Just do what they said. I'll go in, you'll wait outside."
Guan Liu looked at the fully armed local soldiers at the valley entrance and hesitated. "Or, Master Weng, wait, I will report to the governor quickly."
"No need, it's another day, so you can't delay it. Don't worry, I won't have anything to do."
She took something from her entourage and asked the natives to lead the way. Under the attention of everyone behind her, she quickly walked in.
Liu Guan had no choice but to send someone back to the city and report the latest situation to the governor, and he took his people to wait outside.
He was nervous and did not dare to leave for a moment. He waited hard for noon until evening. Seeing that half a day had passed, the master of the man had not come out yet, he was really worried. He came to the valley again to negotiate and asked about the situation. Suddenly, he heard a faint sound of cheering from inside.
He turned his head and looked over.
The natives guarding the valley entrance also heard the movement and looked around.
In the Mahe Valley, outside the old leader's residence, countless natives gathered here, resting and waiting. When they learned that the old leader finally woke up from his coma, they were very excited, cheered, and knelt down one after another.
In the room, Bai Long was even more happy and said to Mu Fulan: "I heard that the wife had left before, but I didn't expect that she was still there. Today I saved my father. I and the people of the tribe are extremely grateful. Please accept my worship!"
He took his men and bowed to Mu Fulan.
After a long period of busyness, Mu Fulan felt a little tired and took a breath. He asked someone to serve the old leader who had just woken up to take medicine. He called Bai Long out and said, "Although the old leader is awake, it is not hindered for the time being, the remaining poison in his body will probably not be eradicated by our methods and ordinary antidotes. It is still life-threatening."
The smile on Bai Long's face froze and he asked, "Madam, do you have any other way?"
The Medicine Written not only helped the world, but also studied the poisons and herbs in the world. He traveled all over the country, straddled the Western Regions, and wrote notes. In the Northwest chapter, it specifically mentioned a rare plant that was born in the cracks of the Tianshan Mountains in the northern part of the Mo. Due to the severe cold climate, the growth was extremely slow, and the flowers were highly poisonous and quenched into poison. If a person enters the intestines, he is paralyzed and unconscious, he will definitely die.
But this grass is very strange. Flowers are highly toxic, but the rhizomes can detoxify and complement each other. According to its characteristics, the medicine man named Yin and Yang grass. In his notes, he described the toxicity, methods of inhibiting poison, and the characteristics of the plant in detail, and drew it into a picture.
The cluster of arrows that shot the old leader was still there. Mu Fulan had repeatedly tested the poison before, combined with Yaoweng's notes, and the poisonous arrows were from northern people who were active in the north of Tianshan Mountain, so she made such inferences.
She pondered for a moment, explained the medicinal properties to him, and said, "Fortunately, the poison is caused by blood, and the toxicity has been slightly reduced. Go to Tianshan as soon as possible and pick the rhizomes. Maybe you can try it."
Bai Long looked excited and immediately said, "I'll send someone right away!"
"Master's notes record that after the rhizome is harvested, it takes several days to refine the medicine, and the longer the time, the weaker the medicinal properties. It takes one or two months to go back and forth to Tianshan here? Is it better for me to go there in person and deal with it on the spot, which is the most appropriate."
Bai Long was extremely grateful and knelt down again: "Mrs.'s great kindness cannot be repaid! I personally took the people to escort the lady over!"
Mu Fulan asked him to get up. "I have limited knowledge, but I try harder, and I hope it will work."
A person came out of the house and said that the leader asked his wife to come in.
Mu Fulan returned to the house.
After the old leader woke up, he slowly recovered his energy, leaned on the pillow, smiled, and said to Mu Fulan: "Mrs. I was very grateful to have used his skills to save his tribe members. Today I saved my life again. I heard what you and my son said just now. It was winter to go to Tianshan. Not only was the road dangerous, but I was afraid that I would also be disturbed by the northerners. I will die or live, and I will be destined to fate. Madam is noble, so I can't ask Madam to take risks for me again. Madam doesn't have to go."
Seeing that his father was desperate for his life, Bai Long spoke to stop him. Although he did not dare to refute, he was very anxious and kept looking at Mu Fulan.
Mu Fulan said: "The old leader Yan Chong. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will take this trip."
Bai Long breathed a sigh of relief and became more and more grateful to Mu Fulan: "Father, my son will take our best warriors to escort the wife with his life! Don't worry, father!"
Mu Fulan nodded: "Besides, there are also garrisons along the way. To be honest, the leader is my husband's intention. He is also very concerned about the leader's injuries. If I will explain the situation to him, he will send an order and ask people to take care of him. The leader does not have to worry."
The old leader closed his eyes for a moment, slowly opened his eyes, and said, "I will never thank you for your kindness. I will never bother my wife anymore. I will send a message to you myself, and I urge you to make it convenient along the way."
Mu Fulan didn't say much, but just smiled and said, "This matter cannot be delayed. I have arranged the matter and set off as soon as possible. Liu Biejia from the Jiedu Mansion sent me here. At this moment, people should be waiting outside the valley entrance. The leader might as well let him send a message back."
...
Late at night, the lights in the study of the Jiedushi Mansion were still on.
Xie Changgeng stood alone in the study room, standing in front of the window, looking at the invisible night sky above the Mahe Valley in the distance, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps running from outside.
"Sir! Good news!"
Xie Changgeng's heart jumped slightly and turned around suddenly. He saw Guan Liu pushing open the hidden door with joy. He ran to his front and panted, "Congratulations! Mahe Valley's affairs have made progress!"
Before he could breathe, he took out a letter of trust from his arms that he had kept in his personal care and couldn't wait to hand it over.
"The old leader was rescued by the master! Ask me to submit this letter to the lord!"
Xie Changgeng took it, displayed the letter, and quickly browsed it.
Liu Guandao: "Sir, when the old leader woke up, he met me. He said that after two days, when he was in better health, he would ask him to take the time to discuss the matter of Mahe Valley."
The Mahe Valley incident that had been unresolved was hoped for easy resolution, Liu Guan was very happy. After saying that, he looked at the Jiedushi. Seeing that his eyes were still on the letter, he didn't say a word. He thought he was too happy, and didn't think much about it, and just said, "This time the matter can be resolved smoothly, thanks to the Master of the Cong."
Xie Changgeng slowly raised his eyes and asked, "Where are other people?"
Liu Guandao: "I know that the adults are concerned about this matter, and I am afraid that the adults will wait for a long time, so I rushed back overnight and sent the letter to him. Although the old leader was awakened, he was still very weak. The old master stayed there for the time being. When the old leader's condition was stable, she set off. Bai Long led someone to escort the old master on the way. The old master was very grateful to the adults and the old master, and begged us soldiers along the way to take care of him. The letter must have been mentioned."
"Sir, in the Jiaocheng, I will be transporting a batch of food and grass to Jincheng, Tianshan in the past two days to help the soldiers survive the winter. Since we are on the same road, it is better to arrange for the Master Weng and his party to go with the escort army, which is more safe. What do you think?"
Xie Changgeng looked at Guan Liu, and did not say good or bad.
Guan Liu was only happy at first, but at this moment, he finally realized that the Jiedushi's reaction was a bit abnormal. He hesitated and asked, "What's wrong with him? Do you have any questions?"
"There is no conditions?"
Xie Changgeng suddenly asked a question.
"condition?"
Guan Liu felt a little confused.
"No! The master of the man said that she would go on the road as soon as possible. However, he did remind me to tell you a word to the adults."
"What do you mean?"
"The Lord Weng asked me to tell the Lord that after she set out on the road, he would bother the Lord and take good care of the young master."
Xie Changgeng was silent for a moment and said, "I understand. You have done a good job. Thank you for your hard work, let's go and rest."
...
Two days later, Bai Long and the soldiers who set out from Jiaocheng were ready, and things could not be delayed. Mu Fulan was about to set off early tomorrow morning.
She left the maid to take care of Xier, and she only brought a maid from the horse farm with her.
It was night, and the room was warm, and Mu Fulan accompanied Xier to sleep with him.
Xier can't sleep.
"Mom, they said you are going very far..."
He hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Sir Xie, will he protect you, go with you?"
Mu Fulan said: "He is very busy and has more important things. His mother is already escorted, so it will be very safe."
"But I'm still worried..." The child stubbornly held her sleeves.
"What important thing does Lord Xie have?"
Mu Fulan whispered: "Xi'er, do you like the horse farm?"
"like."
"Mr. Xie wants to protect the horse farm, and there are many places like the horse farm. If something goes wrong, the bad guys will come over. The horse farm and those places will be snatched away by the bad guys. Xiaolongma has lost his home, and Xier can't come here again in the future. Do you want to do this?"
The child shook his head immediately.
"So you said, is it important to Mr. Xie's affairs?"
The child resisted the sadness in his heart and let go of his mother's sleeves.
"I understand. Mother, Xier will miss you."
Mu Fulan kissed his little face: "Go to sleep."
The child in his arms finally slowly fell asleep.
Mu Fulan was full of thoughts and could not fall asleep for a long time.
She put on her clothes, got up and went to the outside room, checked again about what she would take to the road tomorrow, stopped in front of the window, opened the window, and looked at the night sky, and then she found that snowflakes were falling in the dark night sky at some point.
She looked up and looked at her for a moment, and she stretched out her hands, caught a few pieces of snow, stared at the snow in her palm, and slowly melted into water.
A gust of cold wind blew, and she seemed to feel cold. She sipped the heat into her palm, then closed the window.
In the room, the sound of quiet footsteps gradually disappeared into my ears.
Xie Changgeng stood by the window like this, and he just stepped back and avoided her in the dim corner, motionless.
The world was quiet and everything was silent. The snowflakes were sparse at first, slowly, getting bigger and bigger, and accumulated on his shoulders, a thin layer of accumulation.
His heart was a little confused.
The contact with the natives was progressing smoothly.
Tomorrow, she will also set out. No matter whether she can cure the old leader or not, even if the old leader really can't stand it and die in the end, it should not affect the overall situation.
To be continued...
