Chapter 389: Going south, Xi Zhicai's determination
In the evening, those who left the city lord's mansion returned.
Who is the leader if it’s not Xi Zhicai?
Behind Xi Zhicai was Zhang Song.
At this moment, Zhang Song deliberately slowed down his speed, and when he looked at Xi Zhicai, his eyes were full of awe.
Although I don't know what happened between these two people.
But judging from Zhang Song's demeanor, he was respectful and a little happy, which was obviously related to the school affairs.
If I guessed correctly, the mineral deposit matter is basically stable!
Just when such thoughts flashed through Xiao Wen's mind, Xi Zhicai also discovered Xiao Wen's existence. He quickened his steps and came to Xiao Wen in two or three steps. He bowed his hands and said, "Greetings, my lord."
"Sir, you don't have to be polite. Seeing that you are in such a happy mood, I guess it's what you asked me to do. Do you already have the answer?" Xiao Wen responded with a smile, looking at Xi Zhicai with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
Only those with ambitions can help me make plans, so what do I have to worry about?
For a time, he was even more determined to find Zhang Zhongjing and help Xi Zhicai change his fate against the odds.
The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, with a slight smile on his face. Xiao Wen smiled and said:
"I will leave the matter of the mineral deposits to my husband. If there is any need for me, sir, just ask. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"
"My lord is interested. However, General Huangfu comes and goes, even if the letter is sent by flying pigeons, it will be more than a month before the imperial court issues the reward. But there is no need to be impatient." Xi Zhicai handed over his hand and said.
Hearing this, Xiao Wen nodded with a look of understanding on his face.
"In this case, the military affairs for the next period of time will be entrusted to sir. I have something to do and may have to travel far away." Xiao Wen took a step back and bowed to Xi Zhicai.
Hearing this, Xi Zhi was stunned and didn't ask if he wanted to go with him.
After all, this person has entrusted the affairs to himself, which means that he does not need to go there himself.
In this way, Xi Zhicai didn't think anything was wrong. He just nodded and agreed to the matter, and then turned to ask: "I wonder if my lord needs General Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to take him?"
"The two generals are capable of conquering and fighting, so it is best to keep them."
"If my guess is correct, when General Huangfu comes this time, he should complain a lot in front of you, right?" Xiao Wen asked with a chuckle.
As soon as these words came out, Xi Zhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.
More than just a lot of complaints?
That guy simply poured out his bitterness in front of me as soon as he arrived, as if he wished he could vent all the resentment in his heart and let himself complain on his behalf.
However, Xi Zhicai naturally laughed at the general's complaints and acted as if he had heard nothing.
Although it is only a matter of time to confront Dong Zhuo.
But for this kind of thing, it would be best if we could do it later and prepare more!
After all, Dong Zhuo is not easy to deal with either.
"Don't worry, my lord, I've already dealt with General Huangfu's side. Once the weapons in Master Ma's hands are transformed, General Ma Chao and the others will be able to lead their troops out to try out the power of the new weapons." Xi Zhicai said with a raised hand.
Hearing this, Xiao Wen nodded, and the smile on his face became stronger.
"As long as you are here, sir, I will have no worries."
After saying this, He Xi Zhicai thanked him and turned around to leave.
Returning to the hall, looking at Dian Wei lying on the ground sleeping directly at the door of the courtyard, Xiao Wen's eyes were particularly soft.
Silently he took out a coat from the package and put it on Dian Wei.
After doing this, Xiao Wen walked into the hall.
The next day, when the sun had just lost its light and had not fully appeared, Xiao Wen and Dian Wei appeared outside He Yi's courtyard.
At this moment, Doctor He was transferring his energy and blood in the courtyard. Each move he made did not have the slightest intention of killing, but it had a somewhat more righteous and peaceful meaning.
After finishing a set of movements, He Yi just stopped working, but his face was rosy and there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
Looking back, he saw Xiao Wen standing outside the courtyard, but he did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly came out, bowed and said:
"I didn't know that my lord was here, but I missed you from afar. Please forgive me, lord."
"Sir, your words are serious. Please get up quickly." Xiao Wen quickly stepped forward and helped He Yi up.
He Yi stood up and looked at Xiao Wen with a bit of curiosity in his eyes. He obviously didn't understand why the lord came to see him so early in the morning.
Moreover, even if he is looking for himself, he only needs to find someone to give him a message, and he will rush over to meet him without stopping. Why go there in person?
"Master, are you here?"
He Yi groaned, his eyes fell on Xiao Wen, and asked.
Xiao Wen did not hide anything, and immediately said: "I came here for Dr. Zhang. I heard that Mr. Zhang got the whereabouts of Dr. Zhang, so I came here to ask for his address so that he could pay a visit."
Hearing this, He Yi understood, but the doubt on his face still did not dissipate. Instead, he turned to look at Dian Wei behind Xiao Wen.
Didn’t he already tell Dian Wei about the news about Zhang Zhongjing?
Mr. Xi was also there at that time!
Why are you here now?
Could it be said that the information given by He before was wrong?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, He Yi saw Dian Wei scratching his head and saying with an embarrassed look: "Doctor He, I forgot the address you mentioned before! Then I brought my lord here to see you.
, please don’t blame me, Doctor He.”
Zhang Zhongjing understood, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
This General Dian is really...
That’s it!
"Since my lord and General Dian are here, I think that my old friend is highly valued by my lord. In this case, I don't want to disgrace my lord. Please wait for me for half a quarter of an hour. I will pack my bags and follow my lord.
Let's go." Heyi cupped his hands and said.
When he said these words, his face was full of solemnity, and it was obvious that he was not joking at all.
"Mr. He also wants to go with you?" Xiao Wen raised his eyebrows and looked at He Yi, quite surprised.
Over the past few days, he has come to understand that Mr. He has an indifferent temperament.
In the past, when he went out with the army, he would go with him only if he asked for it.
Now in the territory, I see patients every day, and occasionally take a few students to the city gate to diagnose and treat the refugees in the past, so I am very busy.
Now, how could you take the initiative to ask to follow?
Dian Wei also had such doubts.
Although he had not been in contact with He Yi for a long time, this time was enough for him to understand what kind of temperament this Mr. He was like.
On weekdays, even if there was a party or something in the city, and he was invited, he would decline as soon as he could. Even if he was attending a banquet, he would be the last to arrive and the first to leave.
The reason for this is not because of disdain, but because there are many patients in the city, and they cannot be diagnosed and treated in one day, He Yi always has some concerns in his heart. Even when he is attending the banquet, he thinks that if he can spare some time, he can treat more patients.
one person.
He Yi nodded and looked at Xiao Wen's surprised look, and couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.
He could more or less guess what this gentleman was thinking.
If this gentleman can succeed without following me, he will naturally be willing to stay in the city.
But others may not know what kind of temper his good friend has, but he knows it in his heart.
If the person who goes to seek medical consultation is an ordinary person, or even a businessman, his old friends will warmly receive him. (Note: Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, class status ranking. In ancient times, businessmen were not valued and were called
Lowly businessman, ranked last among the four categories)
But what if it is an official who goes for consultation?
Sorry, there is a high probability that I will be thrown out by my friend!
Even though he is one of the three most powerful beings, his old friend refuses to treat him if he wants.
News came that when the emperor was lying in bed, he was recruiting miraculous doctors from all over the world to go to Luoyang. If he could cure the emperor's disease, he would be appointed an official and he would be the leader among doctors in the world.
Later, some eunuchs came out of the Heavenly Palace (Note: Imperial Palace) with the imperial edict and entered the mortal world to deliver the edict to Zhang Zhongjing.
What's the result?
An old friend of mine went missing for fun, and after locking the door, he didn't know where he went.
The angel was left waiting at the door for three days.
After not seeing a shadow of Zhang Zhongjing for three days, he left angrily and returned to Luoyang, labeling Zhang Zhongjing as arrogant and arrogant.
Zhang Zhongjing didn't take this seriously. In the afternoon after the angel left, he "returned from a long journey" and continued to diagnose and treat the people around him. However, he didn't even mention the angel's coming to deliver the message. He didn't ask any questions.
No one asked.
Seeing this, many people may ask, why is Zhang Zhongjing not only unwilling to get close to the emperor, but others can't even get close to him, and he even doesn't even see the angel's face.
The reason for this is that his father was an imperial envoy back then and was ordered to provide disaster relief. He offended certain people's interests and was slandered by traitors and executed.
Zhang Zhongjing escaped by chance and was accepted as a disciple by Zhang Bozu, a generation of medical masters. He took him under his wing and trained him day and night, leading to his current achievements.
It was also because his father was beheaded by the imperial court, and he had no good feelings towards the officials above the imperial court, and even the emperor. Naturally, he would not meet him, let alone help him.
This is also the reason why Dr. Zhang would rather travel far away than live in a temple.
My lord is the royal hussar general of the imperial court, an official rank second only to the general He Jin.
With such an official position, Xiao Wen must not be looked down upon by others wherever he goes.
Only when I go to my old friend's place, not only will I not look down upon him, but I won't even look at him and I will be kicked out.
Therefore, in order to save Xiao Wen's face, He Yi decided to accompany Xiao Wen.
Hearing He Yi's explanation, Xiao Wen's eyes showed a look of understanding. He cupped his hands and fists at He Yi and said, "In this case, Mr. Lao is here for you."
"It's a blessing for Yi to serve the lord!" He Yi sighed with emotion, but took a step to the side, not daring to accept Xiao Wen's courtesy.
What are the facts?
Even He Yi had no idea whether his old friend would give him face, so he could only bite the bullet and push for it!
With such thoughts flashing through his mind, He Yi did not hesitate and immediately went back to the house to pack his bags. Soon he walked out with the baggage on his back, following Xiao Wen and Dian Wei.
Dian Wei went first and got a carriage.
When Xiao Wen and He Yi arrived at the city gate, Dian Wei was already waiting in a carriage.
Inviting the two people into the carriage, Dian Wei shook the reins in his hand and the carriage galloped towards Yizhou.
An hour later, Xi Zhicai, carrying a pile of corrected official documents, went to the hall of the city lord's palace with Zhang Song to meet Xiao Wen.
Although they have already corrected the official document, they should let Xiao Wen review what they have done so that they can be fully aware of it.
However, when these two people came, they got the news of Xiao Wen's departure.
Hearing this, Zhang Song didn't think anything was wrong, only Xi Zhi vaguely felt something was wrong.
After asking the soldiers leaving the city, they learned that He Yi followed Xiao Wen out of the city, and the two of them headed south. The person driving the car was the Lord's personal guard, Dian Wei!
When Xi Zhicai heard that it was a combination of these three people, he already vaguely understood his lord's plan.
If the person hadn't left, he might have been able to stop him.
But now, everyone has left, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
"Dian Wei is such a fool! He is such a big mouth! If I had known, I should have stopped this big mouth!" Xi Zhicai complained in his heart, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Of course, in addition to resentment, what is more important is gratitude.
Thanks to Xiao Wen.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
If you can have such a lord, you will have no regrets even if you die!
Xi Zhicai thought this in his mind, and suddenly a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Lord, don't worry, your ambition and ambition will be known to you.
Zhicai is willing to use the sharp knife in your hand to cut through the thorns in front of you and carve out a broad road!
"Excuse me, Deputy City Lord Zhang, and send someone to invite the three generals Ma Chao, Tian Yu, and Zhao Yun to come over." Xi Zhicai said, cupping his hands to Zhang Song.
Zhang Song was stunned and looked at Xi Zhicai with some surprise, but he vaguely guessed what the Xi Zhicai wanted to do.
Deal with Dong Zhuo!
But, isn’t it not the time yet?
Is it really okay to take action now?
"Sir, are you a little anxious to take action now? Now Dong Zhuo's army has arrived at the border of Xiliang, and a conflict with it now may alert that person." Zhang Song raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Xi Zhicai, and asked.
Xi Zhicai smiled and shook his head: "The deputy city leader said something harsh. Who said we were going to take action against them?"
"Those who fought back were obviously the Xiliang rebels!"
"Have someone tell the horse craftsman that he has been busy these past few days, so he can quickly make a set of masks and give them to the soldiers."
"Since Dong Zhuo can do that thing where people are dead and no one can argue, why can't we do it?"
"He is in the first year of junior high school and I am in the fifteenth year. Xi wants to see if Dong Zhuo will feel bad if he kills all the four generals under his command!"
Hearing this, Zhang Song narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold look on his face, and sneered:
"Probably not! After all, Mr. Dong is also a very thoughtful person, so he will not be confused about these matters."
As soon as they finished speaking, Zhang Song and Xi Zhi looked at each other. They were both stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly. Zhang Song turned around and left, asking people to invite Ma Zhaotian and the others.
Perhaps even Xi Zhicai didn't know that his actions made the entire Xiliang water turbid in a short period of time, making it difficult for leaders Zhang Rang and He Jin to see clearly. Liu had just arrived.
Macro's respite.
However, these are all things for later and will not be mentioned for now.
