Li Angyi held a sick leg and walked to the door to send the saint away.
Gu Yuanbai walked too far, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and he turned his head to look back, Li Angyi was still standing in the same place, still sending him off.
The long distance blurred the expressions on the faces of the two people, but Li Angyi looked as if his right leg had never been broken, and his back was slightly hunched, the same as before.
As long as he doesn't move, others can't see through.
Gu Yuanbai turned back and boarded the carriage, and Tian Fusheng glanced at it by chance, and saw Sheng Shang's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips turned slightly with his fingers. Tian Fusheng hurriedly lowered his head, the saint clearly had the intention to kill.
Two years ago, when the Holy Master executed Lu Feng, this was the look on his face.
The carriage moved slowly and slowly disappeared behind the street corner. Li Angyi was still standing at the gate, and the attendant behind him supported him and whispered, "Your Highness, why don't you hide?"
"Hide?" Li Angyi smiled, he patted his right leg, "A broken leg saves a life. Isn't this business worth it?"
Attendant: "It's a broken leg."
"But the emperor's heart is reassured," Li Angyi narrowed his eyes and was helped to walk into the bedroom, "If I hide, this life will be completely taken by Emperor Daheng."
The Daheng Emperor really was decisive, he had already put his hands on his own hands, but Gu Lian still didn't believe him.
*
Gu Yuanbai's carriage arrived at the shipbuilding workshop of the Ministry of Industry.
The Minister of Works and the left and right servants have been waiting here, accompany the saint to look at the recently built ships, vehicles, sea falcons and other sea warships.
These behemoths appeared in front of them, and they looked up in amazement.
The ancient shipbuilding technology is world-class, which is why Gu Yuanbai dared to fight drugs and send sailors to the coast. Smash enemy ships into the deep sea.
The weapons that matched the battleship were all equipped, and Gu Yuanbai looked at the specifications of the shells and bows and arrows. Every warship must prepare fire fighting equipment, and oil is an essential fuel for combustion.
Because the navy of the Tang Dynasty was in the forefront, the Ministry of Industry never had a lot of silver taels to build ships. After Gu Yuanbai came to power, two million and two million dollars were invested in it for shipbuilding supplies. From the previous dynasty to the present, the number of warships that Daheng can take out to fight should be counted in thousands.
Even if Daheng's ships are small and medium-sized, a single ship can carry about 200 soldiers, and a traditional large-scale battleship such as a building ship can carry about 500 soldiers.
Gu Yuanbai believes that even if there is a sudden war now, even if he won't win, he won't lose.
The only weakness is that the Daheng Navy has been abandoned for many years.
No matter how sharp a weapon is, if the person in charge of the weapon cannot exert its power, what is the difference between a child holding a knife and an adult being naked
Gu Yuanbai naturally did not forget the training of the navy, but if the people behind Xixia had been preparing for decades, how could the soldiers he supervised in just two years fight others? In this battle, Daheng must be cautious and careful.
After coming out of the shipyard, Gu Yuanbai returned to the palace full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit. His expression was sharp, and his robes and feet flew between his steps. Xue Yuan looked at him several times, and there was always a feeling that the little emperor was about to rush into the battlefield.
But the saint took a few steps and felt a little breathless.
Slowing down, Gu Yuanbai turned his head and asked Tian Fusheng, "There is no news about Jiang Nuyi's uncle so far?"
Xue Yuan followed behind, and when he heard the three words "Jiang female doctor", he frowned slightly. After his class teacher returned to the court, he deliberately inquired about the woman who was rumored to be deeply in love with the saint and his wife. The "female doctor" mentioned by the palace attendant should be this one.
Tian Fusheng lowered his voice: "Sacred Lord, Jiang Nuyi's grandfather and uncle were separated on the way to flee the famine in Hebei. Our people went door-to-door to investigate, and there is no news yet, but Hebei is so big and there are so many remote places. It's not surprising that it's been a bit slower."
"And these people who fled the famine, where they had food rations back then, they would go where they went," Tian Fusheng thought about it, "Maybe Jiang Nuyi's uncle has already left Hebei, the world is big, and the left is only the three surrounding provinces. Absolutely find him."
"It's been 40 years since they were separated," Gu Yuanbai sighed with a calm demeanor, "Even if her uncle was only a dancer at the time, he is now fifty years old."
Are you really alive
This chance is too slim, and Gu Yuanbai didn't have much hope. But as long as there is a prescription for treating him in this world, more than one person must know it. What he wants most is not the uncle of Jiang Nuyi, but the medical skills in the hands of her uncle.
Books are sometimes easier to find than people.
Gu Yuanbai suddenly frowned, thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard the word Hebei some time ago."
"Jingchen Temple, a monk from a famous Hebei temple," Xue Yuan said suddenly, "I still remember it clearly. I stopped him in front of the courtyard before the rain fell that day, and the monk said something with a Hebei accent."
Yes, Gu Yuanbai suddenly realized, he asked casually: "How old does the monk look?"
"You are still young," Xue Yuan said, "but the answer is calm."
Gu Yuanbai nodded lightly and did not ask any further questions.
When it was time to take a nap, Xue Yuan personally went to wait on the saint to go to bed and rest, gently pulling the silk belt around the saint's waist, and asked in a low voice, "sister, who is this female doctor Jiang?"
"People from Lizhou." Gu Yuanbai replied.
Xue Yuan quickly took off his belt, and the smooth and bright robe scattered like flowers blooming. He stood up and bent down, taking off the clothes on the shoulders of the saint, "The saint clearly knows that this is not what I want to ask."
Arms were raised, and the robe was removed from the cuffs. Xue stayed close, moving slowly, Gu Yuanbai's face brushing across his chest from time to time. Xue Yuan marches all the year round. He is a person who doesn't pay attention to himself, but the smell on his body is not unpleasant. Instead, he has a unique smell that seems to be accumulated over the years.
As soon as I smell it, it is windy sand, desert, and fireworks.
Gu Yuanbai was a little lost until his fingertips were touched, "Her ancestor studied medicine, and medical books are useful to me."
Xue Yuan's expression condensed, "I understand."
The palace attendants in the inner hall were all busy doing their own thing, and the guards outside the hall stood upright with their backs to it. Xue Yuan lowered his head, just in time to meet Gu Yuanbai's raised face, the corners of his lips touched, and then quickly separated.
This is clearly cheating.
Such an inadvertent encounter, on the contrary, aroused itching. There was something missing from his lips, and he just wanted the other party to lick it, and then give it a light bite. The feeling in the memory was too comfortable, so comfortable that Gu Yuanbai wanted to pull Xue Yuan's collar at this moment, forcing him to bow his head, and then forcibly kiss him. But if he did, wouldn't he be completely entangled by Xue Yuan
Gu Yuanbai said that he would not prostitute Xue Yuan, and the previous intimacy was not someone he prostituted. Now if you kissed and prostituted, then you really have to be responsible.
Gu Yuanbai's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't want to take responsibility, "Go on."
Xue Yuan's eyes darkened, he touched his lips, and his chest began to be dishonest again, jumping like crazy wolves colliding.
Standing still, reluctant to go.
Gu Yuanbai lowered his head to straighten the hem of his clothes, raised his eyebrows when he saw that he was still not leaving. He was about to laugh at him, but as soon as he raised his head, Xue Yuan bent over and took a strong bite on his lips. His lips hurt, and Xue Yuan stood up and strode away.
"..." Gu Yuanbai clicked his tongue and said softly, "I'm sick."
He slowly got into bed and was about to close his eyes and fall asleep. There were some hurried footsteps outside, and the door of the bedroom was suddenly knocked along with a whisper that could not be heard clearly.
The knocking on the door became more and more urgent.
Gu Yuanbai had a bad premonition in his heart, he propped himself up from the bed, his black hair hung down behind him, scattered and messy.
"What?" He tightened the blanket.
The voice of the guard outside tightened, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan, Concubine Wan..."
Gu Yuanbai took a deep breath, and his whole body froze on the bed. He heard himself ask, "What happened to Concubine Wan?"
"Concubine Wan is seriously ill and her life is in critical condition," the guard said with difficulty, "The guard of the palace is waiting in the hall with a waist badge."
The world seemed to be quiet.
Gu Yuanbai was clearly sitting on the bed, but he seemed to be floating among the clouds, without a solid foothold. After a long while, he said, "I don't believe it."
This must be another little trick that the enemy is doing in secret. The palace was protected by Gu Yuanbai's people, and the imperial doctor had sent a letter a few days ago, saying that Concubine Ming Wan had rarely had some energy recently. How could she be in such a critical condition
Gu Yuanbai smiled, "A trick, does it really mean that I will step in twice?"
He wanted to get out of bed to punish the guards who dared to report false news, but when the quilt was lifted, his feet suddenly became weak and his mind became dizzy.
Gu Yuanbai grabbed the bed frame violently, and the safety buckle tied beside the bed was hooked by his tail finger and fell to the ground, with a "slap" sound, and it shattered into pieces.
The door was slammed open, but in an instant, Gu Yuanbai was hugged by Xue Yuan. Gu Yuanbai looked at his tail finger absently, how could he be so careless, it was too unlucky.
"Take me out." His voice was low.
Xue Yuan hugged Gu Yuanbai and walked out in silence. The person kneeling outside was the one Gu Yuanbai sent to protect Concubine Wan. These people are loyal and loyal, and Gu Yuanbai trusts them very much, but seeing them at this time, the young and thin emperor's eyes are red and his face is frozen.
"Your Highness," the guards of the palace looked haggard and bloodshot in their eyes, "Wan Concubine, she—"
"I don't believe it," Gu Yuan interrupted them calmly. "It's not enough to deceive me once. Do you want to deceive me a second time? Come on, prepare your horse, and I will rush to the palace."
Tian Fusheng threw himself to his knees, risking his own death and admonishing: "Your Highness, your body can't bear it!"
Gu Yuanbai said, "Prepare the horse."
The captain of the bodyguard also knelt on the ground with his people, anxious, "Please think twice!"
Naturally, they couldn't stop Gu Yuanbai, but Gu Yuanbai looked at the people kneeling all over the ground, and the blood slowly dyed his expression red.
Concubine Wan was seriously ill and might die tomorrow, or before he got the news. Only by rushing with the whip can it be possible to rush over to see Concubine Wan for the last time. Why stop him
Because of his body? Because of this useless body, can't even see Concubine Wan for the last time? !
Gu Yuanbai gritted his teeth, and there was a bloody smell in his throat. His teeth trembled, and he squeezed out word by word, "Xue Yuan, prepare a horse, take me to the palace."
The whole hall was silent, and no one dared to make a sound. Just when Gu Yuanbai thought that Xue Yuan would not make a sound, Xue Yuan suddenly hugged Gu Yuanbai and turned back to the inner hall, found the cloak and shoes and socks, and walked hurriedly in front of the crowd with the saint, saying concisely: " Go now."
Gu Yuanbai's hand holding his neck slowly tightened, and his shoulders trembled.
He didn't look at the road under his feet, he only knew that Xue Yuan was walking extremely fast. He didn't know how long he had walked, but he had already walked into the stable and said loudly, "Red Cloud!"
The fierce horse roared a few times, and Gu Yuanbai turned around and was carried by Xue Yuan onto Hongyun's back. His shoes and socks were put on by a pair of warm and dry palms, and a thick cloak was covering him. Xue Yuan turned on his horse and pulled the reins. Young.
The mane fluttered, and the cold wind came. It was clear that the spring breeze was warm in June, but Gu Yuanbai felt extremely cold at this time, and his fingers were so stiff that he couldn't bend them.
The palace gates have faded, the bustling streets have faded, and the walls of the capital have faded.
Xue Yuan stretched out his hand from behind and held Gu Yuanbai's stiff fingers.
"I have to see her for the last time," Gu Yuanbai murmured. "If I don't see her this time, I will never see her again, and she will never see me again."
At that time, even if he ran to the ends of the earth, even if he shouted loudly, no matter how powerful or rich he was, he would not be able to exchange this side of Concubine Wan.
This is the mother of the little emperor, and also his mother.
Xue Yuan said loudly, "See you."
