Zuo Menggeng waited until dark and before the medical officer came back, Zuo Liangyu, who was lying on the sickbed, coughed continuously. His red face had turned dead gray at this time. He coughed a few times, gasping heavily, as if he was very difficult to breathe.

"Medical officer! Medical officer!" Zuo Liangyu used all his last strength and shouted loudly.

"Father!" Zuo Menggeng ran in and knelt in front of Zuo Liangyu's sickbed. "The two medical officials went out in the morning and have not returned yet. The child doubted whether they ran away with your money."

Zuo Liangyu could no longer speak, so she could only point her finger at her son and her lips were stammering.

A personal soldier leaned in Zuo Liangyu's ear and listened, then turned to Zuo Menggeng and said, "Criminal, lord said, "You must find the medical officer! You must find it at no cost!"

Zuo Menggeng retreated and ordered his personal soldiers to find people. After about two hours, the personal soldiers came back and reported to Zuo Menggeng: "Criminal, two medical officials were killed by thieves and chopped into meat paste, and even the prescription was lost."

"Who did it?" Zuo Menggeng suppressed the secret joy in his heart and shouted loudly in a pretentious manner.

"I don't know, the people nearby saw it and said that the thief came to kill the two medical officers." The personal soldiers replied tremblingly.

Zuo Menggeng ordered: "Be sure to find the murderer! Retrieve the prescription! Otherwise, my father will have little time!"

At this moment, Zuo Liangyu's own soldiers walked out from behind the screen: "The lord said, let your own medical officer go to that pharmacy shop, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy shop must know the formula!"

Zuo Menggeng turned around and left, returned to the small courtyard where he lived, handed over the medical officer, and whispered a few soft words in his ear.

The medical officer was shocked: "Criminal Master, do you really want to give the wolf and tiger medicine to your uncle?"

"You can do whatever you ask, why do you ask so many questions!" Zuo Menggeng snorted coldly.

"No, I'll go here." The medical officer retreated. When he left Zuo Menggeng's residence, the medical officer was hesitant: The prince wanted to kill his father, it was a ruthless act. But even if the uncle did not die today, he would have lived in a few days. Forget it, he still listened to the prince. It can be regarded as helping the uncle relieve his pain.

The medical officer opened the city gate with the waist sign of Ningnanbo Mansion, left the city and went to the medicine shop.

When the shopkeeper saw the medical officer, he asked, "Why didn't the two soldiers who used to come today? The young men were waiting here for a day, but they didn't see anyone."

The medical officer said, "The two medical officers have an accident. They met a thief and were killed on the way, so they were unable to come. The shopkeeper, do you have a prescription for your uncle?"

"Some." The shopkeeper replied, and then handed over the prescription.

The medical officer looked at the prescription and pointed to the name of the medicine, saying, "Replace these two medicines with..."

After hearing the doctor's words, the shopkeeper was shocked: "My uncle's life is in danger, and he must not use this wolf and tiger medicine..."

The medical officer interrupted the shopkeeper impatiently: "My uncle's condition has worsened. If he didn't use strong medicine, he would be afraid that he would not be able to last tonight!"

"The disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes like a thread being drawn. My uncle is already suffering from a terminal illness, so he can only temporarily hold his life with mild medicine. Once the medicine is applied to the wolf and tiger, his life may not be guaranteed." The shopkeeper said.

"I said I can use whatever medicine I want! Is it still sick like getting a wire drawn? My uncle has been alive for a few days, and mild medicine can't save him. If he doesn't take the strong medicine, he can live for a few more days." The doctor said.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to take the medicine as the medical officer said.

After the medical officer took the medicine, he immediately rushed back to Wuchang. When he arrived outside the city gate, the medical officer shouted loudly at the top of the city. After a while, the city gate opened, and a soldier came out to check the medical officer's waist sign and put him in.

After returning to Ningnanbo Mansion, the medical officer immediately boiled the medicine. After an hour, the medical officer sent the boiled decoction to Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu took the medicine and immediately coughed, feeling much more comfortable in his throat. So he lay peacefully on the couch, fell asleep. But in the middle of the night, Zuo Liangyu suddenly screamed and sat up and coughed.

The soldiers rushed over to hear the news and saw Zuo Liangyu lying on the couch, heading towards the ground, and bleeding continued to spit out of his mouth with the sound of coughing. Suddenly, Zuo Liangyu screamed, and a mouthful of blood surged. Then his body became soft and he lay on the sick couch.

"Lord! Lord!" The personal soldiers surrounded Zuo Liangyu and shouted desperately.

After coughing, Zuo Liangyu had stopped breathing and his heart stopped beating. The original big man with red face was already skinny and his face turned white.

"Lord, lord!" Seeing that Zuo Liangyu had already left, the personal soldiers cried and cried.

The entire Ningnan Bo Mansion cried loudly, and everyone got up from their sleep. As Zuo Liangyu's only remaining son, Zuo Menggeng was the first to come to his father in mourning clothes. He and several servants put Zuo Liangyu's body into a coffin that Zuo Liangyu had already prepared, and nervously arranged the mourning hall.

The old man finally died! Zuo Menggeng thought viciously in his heart, but he looked heartbroken. When his father's body was buried, he cried and only grabbed his father's body, and refused to let someone put his father in the coffin. He cried loudly: "Dad, why are you so cruel to leave your child and leave by yourself! Dad, you are still young, only forty-seven years old, why are you leaving your child and your uncles like this and leaving like this?"

If we only look at Zuo Menggeng's performance, everyone would definitely think that this is a filial son.

Ma Jinzhong, Jin Shenghuan, Li Guoying, Hui Dengxiang, Wang Yuncheng, Li Cheng, Lu Ding and other generals were wearing mourning clothes and knelt in the mourning hall. Li Guoying also stepped forward to comfort Zuo Menggeng: "Criminal, the lord has left, the brothers are also feeling uncomfortable. The prince will be mourning for the change."

Zuo Menggeng stopped crying and sobbed, "Uncles and uncles, my father unfortunately passed away, we still have to live! After my father is buried, my prince will definitely take you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

The Ningnanbo Mansion was hung with white cloth, and the entire Zuo family army was covered with plain silhouettes. There were hundreds of banquets in the mansion to entertain General Zuo and local civil servants who came to pay their respects.

Huguang Governor Li Qiande, with a group of followers, walked into Ningnanbo Mansion with gifts.

Then, officials from Wuchang and other places also came to pay their respects one after another.

In Ningnanbo Mansion, Zuo Menggeng held the most solemn funeral for his father, invited a monk to perform a ritual for 49 days for Zuo Liangyu.

"The lord has passed away, and the ancients said that it should be buried in the land. Why didn't the prince build a tomb for Ning Nanbo?" asked Ma Jinzhong.

"The ancients said that the leaves fall back to their roots. My father was from Linqing, Shandong. My father died in a foreign land and was escorted to his father's coffin back to his hometown to enter his ancestral grave. This is the filial piety that the son should do to his father." Zuo Menggeng said.

"Linqing?" Ma Jinzhong was stunned, "Has Linqing already fallen into Jiannu's hands? How can he escort his lord back to his hometown?"

Zuo Menggeng pretended to wipe his tears: "This is what I will tell you after the matter is done. My father's will, after he dies, he will return to his hometown to go to his ancestral grave. In order to fulfill his father's last wish, I will be preparing to lead all the uncles and uncles across the Yangtze River, cross the river north and south of Henan, and seek the Qing Dynasty!"

"This," Ma Jinzhong was shocked, "I heard that all the soldiers in the army have to shave their hair and change their clothes. How would the young master face the ancestors in a hundred years?"

Zuo Menggeng's military advisor Huang Shu said: "General Ma, you don't know that although Jiannu forced all soldiers to shave their hair and change their clothes, he also respected the customs of our Han people. If he dies, he can tie it into a bun and wear Han people's clothes to bury."

"Bah!" Ma Jinzhong said angrily, "I've almost shaved my hair, and I've only had a rat tail braid left. How can I tie my hair? Even if I tie my hair and put it in Hanfu, I'll be wearing a monkey! Can my ancestors recognize us?"

Zuo Menggeng had a stern face: "General Ma, are you going to betray Ben Bo?"
