In Liu Pan's room in You County, Liu Pan looked at the short young man in front of him and said, "Are you telling the truth?" Just now, the young man named Chen Qi told him the news about Liu Qi and also conveyed Liu Qi's order.
This person was Chen Qi sent by Liu Qi to inform Liu Pan. Seeing that Liu Pan didn't believe it, Chen Qi took out the token from his arms and handed it to Liu Pan. Liu Pan took the token and looked at it for a while before saying: "You are indeed sent by my elder brother.
Since eldest brother asked you to come here, you must be a reliable person, so you won’t bother others by informing the military advisor. You go tell the military advisor exactly what happened and let him make a decision."
Chen Qi hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely live up to your great trust." Liu Pan nodded and asked someone to secretly send Chen Qi out of the city.
"Come here." Liu Pan shouted to the door as soon as Chen Qi left. Although Chen Qi didn't speak in detail just now, Liu Pan knew that his eldest brother must be in danger at this time. He wanted to complete his mission as soon as possible and protect his eldest brother from danger.
"What are your orders, general?" asked the soldier guarding the door.
"Go and invite General Huo, General Su and General Ma over, and tell them that I have something important to tell them." Liu Pan ordered to the door.
"No." The soldiers outside the door hurriedly went to inform him.
Not long after, Huo Jun, Ma Liang and Su Fei came to Liu Pan's room together. Ma Liang and Liu Panshu saw Liu Pan and asked, "Why did the general summon us?"
Liu Pan glanced at the three of them and said, "Eldest brother has sent back the news."
After hearing this, Ma Liang was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Master, are you okay? How are you doing now?" Huo Jun and Su Fei also looked at Liu Pan with a happy face.
Liu Pan said: "Brother is fine now, but he was delayed by something on the way and won't be back in a short time."
Huo Jun and others were all excited when they heard that Liu Qi was fine. Ma Liang said: "Then where is my lord now?"
Liu Pan shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but my eldest brother has already sent back the order."
Several people were busy waiting for Liu Pan's instructions with serious faces. Liu Pan nodded secretly and said to them: "From today on, all orders in You County must be issued in the name of General Zhengnan. In addition, all orders in You County must be issued in the name of General Zhengnan."
The common people, soldiers, and even the enemies outside the city know that General Zhengnan is in You County. During his absence, the generals in You County must hold fast and not go to war. They will deal with it after the military advisor arrives."
Although the order was short, several people understood the meaning of Liu Pan's words and knew that Liu Qi wanted to hide his whereabouts to do something important and asked them to wait for the military advisor to send them. Several people hurriedly said: "No."
The next day, all orders in You County were issued in the name of Liu Qi. The soldiers and people in You County speculated whether Liu Qi was in You County. Later, Liu Qi, the general who conquered the south, personally climbed up the city tower to check the status of the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, and asked You County to
Everyone believed that Liu Qi was in You County.
………………..
In the mountains, more than a thousand people of Liu Qi lived in the courtyard for one night, but nothing happened, and there was no problem with the food and water sent by Mr. Xu. This made Liu Qi start to wonder if he was being too careful, but he
He did not relax his vigilance. Regardless of whether there was danger or not, he was used to that kind of tense life.
Early the next morning, Liu Qi ate the food sent by Mr. Xu, went out of the house, and looked at the courtyard. It was already evening when they came yesterday, and he had not had time to look at the courtyard carefully.
There was nothing in the front yard of the courtyard, just about a dozen houses. Looking carefully, it should be where the guards and servants lived. Liu Qi came to the middle courtyard. After hearing the news, Gan Ning and Wang Yi also followed Liu Qi in.
Intermediate Court.
The guards entered first and checked the middle courtyard again before letting Liu Qi and the others in. The middle courtyard had about ten houses like the front yard, but it was much better than the houses in the front yard.
What caught Liu Qi's attention the most was that among the more than ten houses in the middle courtyard, the Taoist founders of the Sanqing Dynasty and the legendary three human emperors were enshrined.
Fuxi is in the middle, Shennong is on the left, and Xuanyuan is on the right. Fuxi is holding Fuxi's harp, which means that Fuxi plays music to comfort all living beings, while Shennong is holding Shennong's whip to pay for all living beings and save mankind. Xuanyuan is holding the Xuanyuan sword to kill decisively.
, murderous, symbolizing the supreme power of the Human Emperor.
Liu Qi looked at these statues and felt a little strange. There were actually people worshiping statues in this small mountain village.
"Huh?" Liu Qi was about to turn around and head towards the backyard when he noticed something strange about the statue of the Human Emperor. The Human Emperor Xuanyuan held a sword in his right hand, but what he held in his left hand was not a scabbard, but a black object.
Liu Qi looked at the dark thing for a long time and couldn't figure out what it was, so he wanted to get on the desk and take the thing off.
"Young Master." When Wang Yi of Gan Ning saw that Liu Qi was going to stand on the table dedicated to the Emperor, he wanted to persuade him. He didn't know what to say. It was difficult for ordinary people to understand the worship of gods in this era.
Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter." After saying that, he jumped up on the desk, went forward to take the object off, and then realized that it was an ordinary piece of jade. It might have been a mistake when carving the statue. He smiled.
He laughed and threw it on the ground, but not only was the jade not broken, but it also made a sound of gold and jade, which was extremely clear and crisp.
Liu Qi was a little surprised. He picked it up again and looked at it for a long time without understanding what it was. He looked at Gan and Ning and said, "Do you know what this piece of jade is made of?"
Gan Ning and Wang Yi held it for a long time and looked at it without knowing what it was made of. Liu Qi put it away and prepared to ask someone later.
Then Liu Qi and the others looked at the backyard but found nothing. Could it be that this was really an ordinary courtyard? Liu Qi was a little confused.
Liu Qi was about to go back to his room when the boy from yesterday ran in. Seeing Liu Qi, he ran to Liu Qi's side and said, "When are you leaving?"
Liu Qi thought it was Mr. Xu who asked him to ask. Knowing that it was inconvenient to live here, he said, "Let's do it tomorrow."
The young man was startled and said, "It's so fast. I have to go home and prepare." After saying that, he ran outside.
Liu Qi quickly took his hand and said, "What are you going to prepare when you go back?"
The young man said: "You are leaving tomorrow. There are still many things at home that I cannot take away. Now go back and give them to the villagers." Liu Qi was a little dazed and did not expect that he would really go with them and asked: "Then Xu
The boss will let you go with us."
The young man whispered: "Mr. Xu's friend is coming tomorrow and they will definitely get drunk again. I will take the opportunity to go with you."
Liu Qi also heard from Xu Ao yesterday that he had a friend who often came to see him. Unexpectedly, they got drunk together and said, "What does Mr. Xu's friend do?" The young man said, "He is a herbal collector. He always comes.
We came to the mountains to collect herbs. Later, Mr. Xu asked us to collect the herbs in advance for his convenience. He would also treat us. His medical skills were so good that once Aunt Zhang was so sick that she only had half her life left.
He saved her."
Liu Qi smiled and said that Mr. Xu's friend had some skills, and asked casually: "Do you know the name of his friend?"
The young man thought for a while and said, "People in the village seem to call him Hua Tuo."
"Hua Tuo? Hua Tuo!" Liu Qi exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" the young man asked doubtfully.
Liu Qi looked at the young man and asked: "You just said that Mr. Xu's friend is called Hua Tuo?" Liu Qi had to be cautious when mentioning Hua Tuo. At this time, the only two people with good medical skills were Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. If they could ask him to help
, then the soldiers’ injuries can be well treated and the casualties of soldiers can be greatly reduced.
"Yeah." The young man nodded.
"Is he coming tomorrow?"
"yes."
"Okay, we'll leave the day after tomorrow, don't worry." Liu Qi said with a smile.
The young man asked a lot of questions about the outside world here, and Liu Qi told him one by one, and finally reluctantly left.
"My lord, do you want Hua Tuo to serve your lord?" Gan Ning asked.
Liu Qi nodded and said: "This Hua Tuo is no small matter. His medical skills are superb. If we could hire him, the seriously injured soldiers in our army would not have to die."
Gan Ning's expression changed and he didn't speak. Even Wang Yi beside him looked downcast. Liu Qi glanced at them and naturally knew why. After every battle in the army, some soldiers were seriously injured and could not be treated. In order to reduce their pain, the general
They often order them to be executed secretly. This is not always a secret in the military.
