"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, old slave... I will go get the life-extending golden elixir right now." Zhang Rang raised his head and looked at Liu Hong with a look of grievance in his eyes.
"Go! Ya's father is good to Gu, and Gu takes it into his heart. If one day, Gu is really gone, Gu's son will have to pay more attention to Ya's father."
Seeing that Zhang Rang's mood was not very high, Liu Hong finally said these words.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Rang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face immediately showed a look of joy, and the grievances he had felt just now were wiped away.
He bowed, turned and left, only to return within a quarter of an hour, holding an exquisite jade vase in his hand, and handed it to Liu Hong.
"Your Majesty, the life-extending golden elixir is in the bottle." Zhang Rang said.
Liu Hong nodded and said: "I know, please step back."
"Here!" Zhang Rang bowed and immediately stepped back.
However, just when he was about to exit the palace gate, he was stopped by Liu Hong and said: "By the way, there is no need to look for the guards outside the gate for the time being. It's a bit noisy. I want to be quiet for a while."
"Here."
…
After Zhang Rang had gone far, Liu Hong said: "Come out, he has left. I have already fetched what you want for you."
Liu Hong threw the jade bottle in his hand forward.
The jade bottle was thrown into the air, and before it fell, a black shadow flashed across the sky. When he took a closer look, he saw Xiao Wen holding the jade bottle with one hand and standing beside him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, General." Xiao Wen said, cupping his hands.
"When I saw this scene tonight, I realized that the rumors about His Majesty outside were all false."
"Your Majesty's talent, even Zhang Rang, is just a chess piece in His Majesty's hands."
Since he got the benefit, Xiao Wen didn't mind complimenting the emperor.
Anyway, it’s just talking, and all it’s worth is just saliva.
Liu Hong did not answer, but just stared at Xiao Wen, snorted coldly, with a bit of displeasure on his pale face: "There is no need to tell Tonggu this. You know better than anyone else what I need from you."
"Now, what I promised you has been accomplished. I just hope you don't forget your promise!"
"I will never forget the last general!" Xiao Wen replied.
"Go, there is nothing for you here. Luoyang is not peaceful these days, so you can just stay in the city. Your agreement with Gu will start from the day of Gu's funeral." Liu Hong said.
Hearing this, Xiao Wen didn't say much, bowed, turned and left.
In addition to the palace gate, I found the official disciples of Zhongdu hiding in the dark, and under the leadership of that person, I left the palace through a secret passage.
After Xiao Wen was gone, Liu Hong leaned on the backrest, his face became increasingly pale, and he coughed violently. He hurriedly took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose.
When he put the handkerchief down, there were already bright red blood stains on it.
After staring at the blood stains on the handkerchief for a long time, Liu Hong grabbed it into a ball, put it into the quilt, and looked at the door: "You're back."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared.
Isn't this person the official disciple of Zhongdu who brought Xiao Wen into the imperial city just now?
"What do you think of that person?" Liu Hong asked.
"He is the person chosen by Mr. Shen, but I still feel that he is unreliable! His Majesty should not put the future of the big man on him."
Hearing this, Liu Hong smiled.
"Yes! An unreliable person, a selfish person, and even an ambitious person! But there is one thing you are wrong about. Gu is not trying to put the future of the Han Dynasty on him, but to put the future of China on his shoulders.
The future is weighing on him."
"Gu has read his intelligence and knows the political situation in his territory. Even after the decline of the Han Dynasty, such a person is unwilling to help the Han Dynasty, but chooses to dominate in troubled times. For the people of China, it is also a good thing.
A good thing."
"Although the big man is gone, the people are still there and the people's hearts are still there, and that's enough!"
"Besides, who said that the future of the big man is placed on him? Have you sent all the letters that Gu asked you to send?" Liu Hong asked. Although he was weak at this moment, there was light in his eyes.
That is……
The light of hope.
"Sent it out, but I have only received one reply for now."
"Oh? Who is it?" Liu Hong raised his eyebrows, becoming interested.
"Master Shen's best friend during his lifetime, Wang Yun, Prince's Master."
"It turns out it's him. It's good that people are paying attention. If possible, use the power hidden in the dark to lift him up."
"If the official position is too low, it will not have much effect on Gu Ke." Liu Hong said.
"What should we do with the newly arrived Fengche Captain Dong Min? Do we need to find an opportunity to make him disappear in a reasonable manner?"
Liu Hong shook his head, but there was a flash of light in his eyes: "No, just keep him. There is still use in keeping him. Dong Zhuo is very ambitious. This time it is just time for Gu to see what he is hiding secretly.
How much power!”
"Doesn't he want to explore Gu's true identity? Give him this opportunity and let him check it out!"
"By the way, it's time to give him the official position of governor of Bingzhou."
"I just want to see what the governors of our two states will do next!"
"yes!"
In the palace, the dark shadows dispersed, and when everything returned to silence, Liu Hong flicked his sleeves, and a weak force of energy shot out of his sleeves, fell on the candle in the palace, and directly fanned out the candle.
After the fire light dissipated, this huge palace seemed a little deserted. Only the moonlight fell from the skylight and fell on Liu Hong's face.
Make that originally pale face look even paler!
…
On the other side, after Xiao Wen left the palace, he went straight back to Long Mansion without stopping.
Outside the Long Mansion, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun stood on the left and right. The direction they were looking at was not the side, but the palace.
This time, my lord went to the palace, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Once something unexpected happens, they can rush into the palace and rescue Xiao Wen.
In their eyes today, the concept of king has weakened, and the only thing they care about is their lord, Xiao Wen!
Fortunately, Xiao Wen came back safely.
"Why are the two generals waiting outside? Go back to the mansion and rest quickly." Xiao Wen said immediately when he saw the two people waiting outside.
When Xiao Wen saw these two people, their eyes also fell on Xiao Wen.
Seeing that Xiao Wen was fine, the turbulent breath on his body calmed down.
"Greetings, my lord!"
The two said in unison.
"Two generals, get up quickly. It's cold outside. Go back home quickly." Xiao Wen said.
"Yes! Lord."
"I wonder how my lord's trip is going?"
"It's quite rewarding." Xiao Wen replied with a smile.
This is not true.
After all, he really got some good stuff.
That is, the life-extending golden elixir.
In this way, Xi Zhicai's life was saved.
As long as they can hold on until Zhang Zhongjing achieves the status of medical sage, both Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia have the possibility of changing their lives against the odds!
"Lord, there is news."
"Oh? What news?"
"Wang Yun's spies are in Kyoto and have just come to see the lord."
