"Master, thank you for your kindness. This disease is a gift from God. Please don't make it difficult for me anymore. As the old saying goes: medicine can't cure the disease, and Buddha can save the destined people. If it is destined, why force it?" The girl frowned slightly and then showed her face. Only a trace of regret in her eyes quietly revealed her thirst for life.
"My girl's words are too negative. It's not the final moment yet, and it's hard to draw a conclusion on anything. Haven't you heard of the saying that man can conquer nature?" Wu Feng laughed loudly and said proudly, "Mr. Hua, You haven't finished what you just said, unless what?"
"Uh, this" Hua Zhongjing didn't expect Wu Feng to be so persistent in pursuing him, so he had to say, "Unless a miracle happens."
"Then what does this miracle mean?" Wu Feng was still digging to get to the bottom of it, looking like he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
"Well, for example, if we can find the legendary divine object, and then use special means, we might be able to-" Hua Zhongjing replied hesitantly, "But-"
Before the other party could finish speaking, Wu Feng immediately interrupted and asked, "What exactly is the divine object you are talking about?"
"Well, I have been practicing medicine all my life and I don't believe in such strange things. However, there is a thing recorded in the ancient book "Stories of Mountains and Seas". It is said to have the power to restore the heavens and can make people's meridians smooth and solid. If the patient takes it, it can make the body smooth and strong." The meridians of the patient's whole body are being reshaped. This girl's condition is actually very simple. The yin and cold energy in her tendons and veins are deeply planted. If the yang medicine is used to forcibly drive it away, the patient's body will collapse. If this medicine is used to supplement it, it can It can not only cure the disease, but also be of great benefit to the patient's body." Hua Zhongjing pondered for a long time and finally said the meaning of this miracle, "It's just that this kind of strange thing has never been heard of in my life, let alone There seems to be no geographical environment for such a thing within the empire.”
"What exactly is it? Where is it produced?" Wu Feng was impatient, his sharp eyes locked on the face of the thin black old man.
"This object is called Tianzi Star. It is a pearl produced in a swamp mussel for many years. However, this kind of mussel is called a green mussel. It is difficult to find in ordinary rivers and lakes. It is usually produced in the depths of large swamps. Moreover, this thing has a long lifespan. It is extremely short-lived, and usually dies within one or two years, but Purple Star is that green clam that absorbs the spiritual energy of the world and is over a hundred years old. Its body will turn purple, and the beads produced in its body are called Heavenly Purple Stars. According to what I know about the empire, There seems to be no such large swamp suitable for green clams to survive in the territory, so I have never heard of anyone obtaining this thing."
"What about other areas of the mainland?" Wu Feng asked.
"I heard that there are many large swamp areas in the central and western continents, and there may be green clams. But I only know about these century-old green clams in medical books, but I have never heard of them in reality. Whether they really exist is still unknown. Hua Zhongjing shook his head, obviously not believing in such rumors.
"Oh, what Mr. Yihua means, is it possible that such things exist in swamps in other parts of the mainland?" Wu Feng's eyebrows relaxed.
"Sir, the theory contained in the book should exist, but I dare not say whether this item really exists." Hua Zhongjing also saw what Wu Feng was thinking and explained tactfully.
After a long illness, the girl in snow clothes probably heard about famous doctors in the empire. She sighed and said: "This gentleman is probably Mr. Hua Zhongjing, who is known as the 'Medical Saint' in the empire, right? Please invite this gentleman Young master, please don’t make things difficult for Mr. Hua anymore. My father also has some assets and has sent people to various parts of the mainland to search for medicines to treat the slave family’s illnesses, but he has found nothing. As Mr. Hua said, items are things that can be found but cannot be obtained. It is not forced. It’s earned.”
Looking at the girl who was as pale as water with some regret, Wu Feng shook his head reluctantly: "How can you know if you haven't tried it? There must be something strange in all things in nature, and there is no need for the girl to be too desperate. Just take a look, this is not an impossible thing. .”
He turned back to the thin black old man and said, "Mr. Yi Hua only thinks that the Green Sea Swamp in the Central Continent can produce this kind of thing?"
"Well, I heard that the green sea swamp has a vast area of nearly a thousand miles and is the most magical place in the Central Continent. It is shrouded in clouds and mist, and there are indeed all kinds of extraordinary things. It is said that no one has ever been able to reach the core. But I dare not say whether there are such century-old green clams. Moreover, even if there are, I am afraid no one can find them." Hearing Wu Feng mention the green sea swamp, Hua Zhongjing's expression changed slightly, but in the end he still said Didn't dare to make a conclusion.
"Well, that's it." Wu Feng nodded heavily and was speechless.
The sky turned white. The girl was lying on the bed, trying to hold herself up. She was still a little weak. A wry smile made her face crawl. Did she really only have half a year to live? Even the famous medical sage had given her an injection. After reaching a conclusion, I am afraid that there is really no other possibility except a miracle.
Holding on to the wooden wall, I quietly moved to the window, opened the window, and saw the fresh morning light. The streets were already busy. The traders who got up early had already started running their own businesses, and the traveling caravans were already packing their luggage. The goods and animals were restlessly crowing and kicking, as if they were about to get on their way; the sound of soldiers training in the distance could be heard intermittently, and everything seemed so harmonious and peaceful.
Letting go of her physical problems, the girl in snow clothes could not help but focus on the man in green shirt who accompanied her back yesterday. This guy confused her even more than the female companion next door, and his identity made it even more difficult for her. Clear up doubts. I can be sure that this guy is definitely not a businessman, scholar or even a son of an official. He has a different feeling from anyone he has seen before.
What is the origin of this guy? Even the famous medical saint respects this guy very much? Could he be a noble child of the imperial court, or a relative of some royal family? Then how could he come to this far northwest? No matter how she thought about it, the girl did not connect this young man she met by chance with the world-famous Northwest King. In her mind, even if Li Wufeng was not a murderous warrior, he must be a scheming politician. Never would I have imagined that he would be such a handsome man.
"Sir, what seems to be on your mind?" Su Qin, who was good at observing people's emotions, could tell at a glance that his boss sitting in the handsome chair was a little uneasy.
"Nothing, come on, sit down." Wu Feng shook his head, as if he was about to throw something away, and his expression quickly returned to normal, "I want to go north to see if it's possible to meet the Boyin people. The threat to us from the Kaman people is too great. If we cannot effectively contain the other party, the Kaman people can cause harm to us at any time, leaving us in a very passive environment. This is something I cannot tolerate. of."
"Boin people? Sir, do you want to go in person?" Su Qin, an old man, was also shocked. "This is too risky and inappropriate. Su Qin cannot agree."
"Adventure? What's the risk? I'm staying in disguise, and I'm not going there blatantly. Who would know?" Wu Feng shrugged, looking indifferent, as if he was staying at a tourist resort for vacation.
"Well, the Boyin people are located in the Marston Wasteland in the far north, separated by the Hesthro and Kaman people. No matter which route they take, it is quite dangerous. Once the enemy discovers it, the consequences will be disastrous. If your Excellency, If you can trust Su Qin, why don't you live with me on behalf of your lord Su Qin." Su Qin still stubbornly objected.
"Needless to say, I have decided. I plan to pass through the territory of the Mote and Tubu people, reach the north, and then turn east to enter the territory of the Bein people. Although this will take a little longer, the risk is It's very small, and there aren't that many checkpoints. Maybe the time will go faster." Waving his hand, Wu Feng stopped the other party's persuasion, "I want to come back within a month, and I have to ask more of you three during this period. In addition, I still have a task to give you."
Su Qin had long known that the other party must have something to entrust to him. If it was just ordinary government affairs, he would definitely leave it to Xiao Tang and himself. This kind of summoning him alone must be an isolated incident.
"My lord, please give me your instructions."
"I would like to invite you to take a trip to the south of the Yangtze River." After pondering for a long time, Wu Feng put down Yu Zhong's black jade paperweight and said.
"Jiangnan?!" Su Qin was shocked again, but he knew that the other party must have something to say, so he waited patiently for Wu Feng to continue.
"Well, it's Jiangnan, your hometown." Wu Feng obviously said this after some careful consideration. "The head of Jiangnan County, Liao Qichang, had contacted me many times when he was in the imperial capital. After I returned to the northwest, he also made a special trip to I contacted people through letters, and I also know that he has a close relationship with the common people in Jiangnan and even Donghai counties who are established in industry and commerce. He even has considerable influence in the navy. It should be said that he is half of the king of Jiangnan. This man is from the city government. Shen Shen has hinted several times that if there are major changes in the situation in the empire, he is willing to support me with the power of Jiangnan."
"Oh?" It was also the first time for Su Qin to hear such a shocking top secret. The coach even revealed such secrets to himself, obviously considering him as a core figure. Su Qin was shocked and excited, and tried to settle down. After thinking about it, he carefully asked: "Then what are the other party's conditions?"
There is no love without reason, and there is no hatred without reason. Since the other party promises such huge benefits, there must be some collateral. However, given the current embarrassing situation in the northwest, this kind of temptation is really difficult to refuse.
"Well, he didn't say it clearly, but I guess since he represents the common people, he probably demands the abolition of the political privileges of the nobles. At the very least, he requires the common people to share political privileges with the nobles. Maybe there are other specific demands. Conditions, the situation was undecided at that time, and I myself was in the imperial capital and didn’t know if I could escape, so I could only respond vaguely, so now I want you Jiangnan and his party to get a good feel for him.”
Su Qin nodded silently. This is actually a strategic alliance, but now it seems that this alliance is only superficial and has no real meaning. After all, Jiangnan and Northwest are at the two ends of the empire. It seems a bit exaggerated to join forces. Early, of course, this also requires the joint efforts of both parties. As the situation changes, things on the surface can be realized.
"Situ Yuan is now ordered to inspect the two counties in the East China Sea and Jiangnan. This is a sign and a sign. The traditional nobles represented behind it are even more excited. I think Liao Qichang may feel the same, but he lacks the support of military strength and there is no one around him. As an ally, the Kingdom of Milan in the south is also within the sphere of influence of Situ Yuan’s maternal family. It can be said that Liao Qichang’s current situation is not good. At this time, perhaps our arrival can give him a glimmer of hope." Wu Feng said slowly.
