Chapter 283 Do you know something about the Wuman? (2 more)
Li Ziting didn't know that Li Zian's focus at this time was no longer on pursuing this matter.
Because according to reports from the spies below, refugees have begun to appear in the area closest to Juzhou in Huguang.
At this time, Li Zian not only had to tell his subordinates to be prepared to accommodate and resettle the refugees, but also to guard against whether the Wuman people who had already conquered Juzhou would continue to advance eastward.
The Wuman people have always been mysterious, but because they have rarely come out of the deep mountains and forests for many years, they have basically no contact with Daqi, and the two sides have always been in peace.
Therefore, Li Zian could not even find any records or information about the Wuman people, and he could say that he knew nothing about them.
Looking at the information about the refugees sent down below, Li Zian frowned and said: "We haven't found Xie's clan members yet, and the refugees don't know exactly what happened. It seems we have to send someone deep into Juzhou to find out.
OK."
"The imperial court can't delay it anymore. It has to write a note explaining the situation quickly and send it to the capital as soon as possible." Fan Yuru reminded.
"You can draft one and show it to me." Li Zian rubbed his brows and said. He was rummaging through information in the study last night and almost didn't sleep all night.
If you do find something useful, then it's all in vain.
At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot and he felt very tired.
"Your Majesty, please go and rest first. I'll make a plan for my father to see." Fan Yuru suggested, seeing that he looked like he was losing energy.
"That's fine, it's more reliable to give it to Master Fan than to me." Li Zian said and stood up, "I'll teach you this. I have to go back home first. Miss Shen is going to give my father an acupuncture today, so I have to go
Watch it."
Seeing Li Zian's body shaking a bit, Fan Yuru said worriedly: "The prince's condition has been getting better, so the prince doesn't need to worry too much."
Li Zian patted Fan Yuru on the shoulder and said, "I know, I know what's going on."
At this time, in the main palace of the palace, Shen Tianshu was ready for the acupuncture.
Princess Rui looked towards the door and said, "Miss Shen, Zian said that he is coming too. Maybe he is tripped up by some official business ahead of him. Let's wait for him a little longer."
As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from the courtyard: "The Crown Prince has arrived!"
Not long after, Li Zian's figure appeared at the door.
Shen Tianshu could see his fatigue at a glance, and then thinking about the official business that Princess Rui had said before, he thought to himself, could something have happened in Huguang recently?
She is now in the palace and knows nothing about the outside world.
When she saw that everyone was here, she suppressed the doubts in her heart and said, "Then I'm going to start acupuncture."
Princess Rui sat on the opposite side of the bed, clasping her hands nervously.
"Mom, it's okay." Li Zian patted her hand soothingly, telling her to relax.
For Shen Tianshu, the difficulty of acupuncture this time was far less than the last time.
But after all, as a doctor, she knew that there were still many things that were beyond the reach of medical skills, and she could never tell them all, so she did not speak to ease their tension.
However, today's acupuncture does not need to go deep into the skull like last time. It only needs to be placed on a few acupuncture points normally.
Li Zian was still staring at the silver needle in Shen Tianshu's hand with all his attention, but soon the movement of her fingers gently twisting the needle tail made him feel sleepy. His eyelids became heavy and he couldn't hold them up.
Shen Tianshu was about to close the needle when he heard a "clang" behind him.
At the same time, Princess Rui’s exclamation came: “Ah——”
Shen Tianshu looked back and saw Li Zian lying on the ground, and the chair he had just been sitting on was turned aside.
"An'er! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Princess Rui was so frightened that she could not move. She could only keep shouting, "Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly!"
"Your father hasn't woken up yet. If something happens to you again, how will you let me live?"
Shen Tianshu hurriedly took the silver needle away from Prince Rui, and then walked to Li Zian's side in a few steps.
"Miss Shen, look at An'er quickly, what's wrong with him!" Princess Rui's eyes lit up when she saw Shen Tianshu. She was so frightened just now that she forgot that there was a ready-made doctor in the room. exist.
After Shen Tianshu stretched out his hand to feel Li Zian's pulse, he opened his eyelids and looked at him. He stood up and said, "Princess, the Crown Prince is not seriously ill. He just fell asleep due to fatigue."
"Are you asleep?" Princess Rui was dumbfounded when she heard this, "Everyone, everyone has fallen down and hasn't woken up yet. Yes, is he asleep?"
Shen Tianshu said: "The prince must have not rested for several days. Although his body has long been exhausted, his spirit has been tense and unable to relax.
"When I was sitting here just now, maybe because I was back in a familiar place and surrounded by familiar people, I suddenly relaxed and fell into a deep sleep immediately.
"So don't worry too much. Ask someone to put the prince on the bed and let him have a good sleep and he will be fine."
Princess Rui asked someone to lift Li Zian up and lay him down on the soft couch, while looking at Li Zian's personal servant Mo Ze with a stern expression.
Mo Ze had no choice but to kneel down and say: "Princess Qi, a few days ago the Wuman Ghost Lord led his people to capture Juzhou City. Now refugees have come to our territory in Huguang. The prince has been in the city in recent days. I'm so worried about this matter that I can't even eat and sleep well. I stayed up all night in the study last night because of this matter, so I can't stand it today..."
"Wuman people?" Shen Tianshu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "They have always lived in isolation from the outside world. In fact, they are not as ferocious and cruel as the rumors outside. Under normal circumstances, they are very peaceful. Why do they suddenly attack? City? "
"Do you know anything about the Wuman people?"
Before Shen Tianshu finished speaking, Li Zian, who hadn't even been able to wake up after falling down just now, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at her and asked.
"The Wuman people seem to be born to live in the mountains and forests. They can walk barefoot in the mountains as if they are on flat ground, and climbing trees or climbing cliffs is not a problem for them.
“Many medicinal materials that outsiders may not be able to collect even if they risk their lives, are easy for them.
"Dr. Jiang Shen has had many contacts with the Wuman people in order to obtain precious medicinal materials in the mountains and forests. I have read his letters, so I have a little understanding of the Wuman people."
Li Zian was no longer sleepy at this time. He stood up and said, "Tell me in detail and tell me everything you know."
"They have their own simple beliefs. They were born in the mountains and forests, died in the mountains and forests, and their souls are with the mountains and forests.
"Especially for the Ghost Lord, the Wuman people believe that the Ghost Lord's power comes from the mountains, rivers and vegetation. This is an unbreakable belief passed down by their clan since ancient times.
"The ghost master relies on his witchcraft power to rule his people, and it is very dangerous for him to leave the mountains and rivers where his witchcraft power comes from.
"So I think that if there hadn't been a serious change within the Wuman tribe, it would have been impossible for them to abandon the mountains and forests they depend on for survival and rashly come to the outside world."
After listening to Shen Tianshu's words, Li Zian made up his mind. If he wanted to find out the ins and outs of the matter, he should send someone to go deep into Juzhou to contact the Wuman people.
