The next day, Prince Xixia personally came to apologize, but was rejected by Prince He.
The concierge said politely, "It's really unfortunate that your Excellency is here. Our lord has something to do today, and said early in the morning that he would not be there."
Li Angshun put the generous gift in the hands of his subordinates behind him expressionlessly. He was about to turn around and leave. After a pause, he remembered something and asked the concierge, "Have you fought on the battlefield with the prince before?"
Such news is not a secret. The doorman said, "Your Highness has fought on the battlefield."
Li Angshun smiled, "Many people who fight on the battlefield will leave dark wounds."
The concierge sighed: "Isn't it? Fortunately, our prince's body and bones are quite good. Even if he suffers some injuries, he will be able to take care of him quickly."
Li Angshun felt that something was wrong, he frowned, his eye sockets were sunken, "Is it difficult to raise?"
The concierge, "That's not true. Just take the tonic, and that's enough for our lord."
Li Angshun frowned.
Could it be that people can't look at their appearance, they look very thin on the carriage, but in fact they are very powerful and strong
Prince Xixia always felt that something was wrong. He took his subordinates to leave, and when he was halfway, he suddenly thought of Chu Wei.
This official is handsome and very attractive to Li Angshun. A flash of light flashed in his mind, and Li Angshun suddenly thought that the person on the carriage must have something to do with Chu Wei, his mouth twitched coldly, and he instructed the left and right: "Go check the mansion of the Daheng official named Chu Wei. where."
Left and right: "Yes."

The prince of Xixia came and went, and the governor of the capital, who was staring at him, reported the matter to Gu Yuanbai on the same day.
Gu Yuanbai: "Why is it related to the prince?"
He rubbed his brows, and didn't have the heart to care about these trivial matters, "Keep watching, don't let them be presumptuous in my Daheng capital."
As for the prince, that's all, he still believes that his cheap brother has a lot of brains, and it is impossible to cooperate with a little Xixia.
The governor of the capital, Ying Shi, immediately retreated.
An eunuch with agile hands stepped forward and rubbed Gu Yuanbai's forehead. Kong Yilin saw this scene when he entered the hall, and he couldn't help but look a little worried, and suddenly remembered: "Sir, do you still remember the den of the bandits in Lizhou? the woman?"
Gu Yuanbai lay on the back of the chair, closed his eyes to let his nerves rest, "I remember."
He sighed, "That woman is not easy."
However, among the thousands of men in the world, few would find it difficult for women. Kong Yilin suddenly sighed a little. He looked at the sage's faintly tired face, and said with concern, "Sage, there are thousands of people in and out of the court. You must not be yourself."
"Naturally," Gu Yuanbai said, "it's just a few recent events, all of which have to pass through my hands. Well, let's not talk about this matter, I remember that the woman seems to have committed suicide because her family was killed by bandits. Heart?"
"Yes," said Kong Yilin, "but after listening to what Master Sun said, I learned that the woman was a doctor girl."
Gu Yuanbai, "Huh?"
"This woman's ancestors used to be the descendants of famous doctors, and she has also learned some medical skills since she was a child. Master Sun of the Supervision Office once asked her why she would go down the mountain to seek medical treatment since she has a little knowledge of medical skills. The woman asked back: If I understand medical skills, Where is the chance to go down the mountain in this life?" Kong Yilin said in a low voice, "She originally wanted to cut herself off, but after Master Sun told her about the court's plan to suppress bandits and anti-corruption, she rested. After that, she followed me to the capital."
"Not bad." Gu Yuanbai nodded.
When he heard the words "medical woman" or "famous doctor", he never had the slightest reaction to these words. It seems that he has long been determined that no matter what kind of doctor can cure his disease.
Kong Yilin couldn't help but look up at Sheng Shang.
Compared with the day of the temple test, the Holy One seemed to be thinner and thinner. The fingers sticking out of the sleeves seemed to be able to be crushed by the heavy robe.
Kong Yilin doesn't know the way of seeing, hearing, asking, and knowing, but he knows whether a person is healthy or not. This is something that can be seen at a glance.
No matter how good the sage's face is, it can't stop the signs of weakness.
Kong Yilin retracted his eyes and opened his lips a few times, but he could only persuade dryly, "Your Majesty, if you don't dislike women's medical skills, can you ask him to diagnose your pulse?"
Gu Yuanbai only opened his eyes at this time, his eyes turned around Kong Yilin, and then pointed to the two wolves lying in the corner, and said with a smile: "If that heroine is not afraid of these two wolves , then come and give me a pulse."

The woman really came.
Xue Yuan once said that if anyone touches a finger or a strand of hair from Gu Yuanbai, the two wolves will bite off his finger. No matter whether others believe it or not, Tian Fusheng believed it anyway, because every time he brought tea and water to the Sage, the two wolves would bow down and stare at Tian Fusheng's hand.
But what is very strange is that when the imperial doctor of the Daily Tai Hospital took the pulse of the Holy Master, the two wolves showed no signs of attacking.
And this time too.
The woman named Jiang Bajiao brought back from the Lizhou bandit den by Mr. Sun Shan of the Supervision Department. She is beautiful, but tall, and it is rare that there is a bit of heroism between her eyebrows. Doctor Jiang calmly bowed to the saint, unfolded the medicine bag, "Please raise your hand."
Gu Yuanbai raised his hand, admiring such a woman, he smiled slightly, and pointed at the two wolves walking slowly beside him with another finger, "These two things are here, can you still calm down? "
The two wolves seemed to understand Gu Yuanbai's words, but one of them came over and stretched out his thick scarlet tongue to lick Gu Yuanbai's outstretched fingers. The sticky saliva made his fingers glow, Gu Yuanbai was surprised, and then looked at the wolf helplessly.
Jiang Bajiao froze when he saw the two wolves, but he forcibly calmed down and felt a pulse for Gu Yuanbai.
Tian Fusheng wanted to step forward to wipe his hands on the Sage, but he didn't dare to look at the wolf. Tian Fusheng said with a bitter face, "Why is there nothing wrong with Miss Jiang when she stepped forward, and the little girl kept staring at the little girl when she stepped forward?"
Gu Yuanbai thought about it for a while and understood, "She smells like medicine."
Tian Fusheng was stunned, "Huh?"
Gu Yuanbai snorted, thinking that Xue Yuan had really thought of everything, even the imperial doctor who needed to give him a pulse. The words he said would bite off anyone's finger if they dared to touch him. Is it still true

"Sir," the lieutenant pointed to the water bladder on Xue Yuan's waist, "Is this wine?"
Xue Yuan had a water bag on his body, but he also took another water bag to drink water. Hearing the lieutenant's question, Xue Yuan grinned, patted the water bladder on his waist leisurely, and deliberately lowered his voice, "This is something better than alcohol."
The lieutenant was curious, "Oh, what could that be?"
Xue Yuan said: "Soup, fascinated soup."
The lieutenant laughed, "Your Excellency is joking."
Xue Yuan raised his brows and did not refute. After he finished drinking the water, he strode to another place where no one was around and sat down, and untied the ecstasy soup from his waist.
After several days of exposure to the scorching sun, the water in the water bag seemed to be less. Xue Yuan lifted the lid, probed his nose and smelled it, and the fragrance inside penetrated into his nose. The medicinal incense and incense were thoroughly infused, and the incense of the little emperor was inhaled. Even after so long, there was still a smell of spring water.
Xue Yuan really wanted to take a sip, but he was reluctant to take one less sip. His whole body is now full of stench, and the men in the military camp are also full of stench. The only thing that smells good is Gu Yuanbai's bath water.
What if you take a sip and miss a sip
Counting the time, the Longevity Festival should also begin. He has also been gone for more than ten days, and the person in the palace wondered if he would accidentally think of him.
Fingers rubbed, the time to rest soon was over, Xue Yuan put the water bag back on his waist, stood up, "Hurry up for Lao Tzu."
The lieutenant stepped forward quickly and walked forward together. Gale was being tied to a tree and eating grass, when he saw Xue Yuan coming, he kicked his hoof in resistance.
The lieutenant smiled, "This good horse is indeed full of spirituality, knowing that we should set off, and it can't eat anymore."
But Xue Yuan didn't take his words.
The lieutenant turned his head in doubt, and saw Xue Yuan's face was serious, he looked at the tree deeply, and suddenly stepped forward to catch something. The lieutenant stepped forward and saw that it was a yellow locust.
The lieutenant was taken aback.
Xue Yuan pinched the locusts to death and looked around, "It looks like we are about to go to the northern disaster area."
"Protect the food and grass, prepare the torches and the big net," Xue Yuan lifted the reins and strode away with his horse, "Go to those officials who control locusts and let them make adequate preparations."

At the end of September, the day has come to the eve of Longevity.
The congratulations from all over the world have entered the treasury one by one. Regarding the congratulations of those powerful people, Gu Yuanbai asked people to return them and mentioned the locust plague in the north implicitly.
The tyrants are really smart and powerful people, and they immediately responded to the hint of the saint. They inquired about the locust plague in the north, gathered together, and finally planned to transport 100,000 ducks to the north to eliminate locusts.
When locusts gather in large numbers, toxins are produced. The yellow locusts are poisonous, and only the green locusts are non-toxic. It is precisely because of the toxicity of the locusts that the birds that feed on the locusts dare not approach.
Autumn locusts can only live for three months. When they are about to die, they will find a place to lay eggs. This period is called the nymph stage. During the nymph stage, the toxins in the locusts will dissipate. This time is when the ducks come to prey on them. There are 100,000 ducks, and one duck can eat 200 locusts a day, which can quickly control the locust plague.
The tyrants have calculated the time. Now they are sending ducks to northern Xinjiang. When they are delivered, the locusts have reached the nymph stage. The ducks can play their role there. To be the meat in the bowls of soldiers, why not do it
The saints burned the letters sent to them by the rebels, and refused to accept their precious gifts. Now they finally know where to go to show their hospitality. Naturally, the tyrants will not miss it.
They were busy serving the emperor with loyalty and diligence, while the emperor in the capital had ignited a little bit of hope that they could live.
A few days ago, female doctor Jiang took the pulse of Gu Yuanbai, and she said frankly, "The ability of the people is not enough."
After Gu Yuanbai smiled slightly, she pondered for a while, and said, "But my grandmother once gave birth to a small child at the age of 40. My uncle was born with poor health and was extremely frail, but he lived until I was kidnapped on the mountain by the bandits. Before. At that time, his body was already much healthy, and the women also saw his pulse. If he took good care of him, he should be able to last a long time."
At that time, Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes, his face was calm, no one knew the turbulent fluctuations in his heart, "Oh? But your relatives have been killed by bandits."
"Indeed," Jiang Nuyi was silent for a while, "but if Minnu remembers correctly, the grandfather in the family has a younger brother, and most of the family's medical books are in the hands of this younger brother. The two brothers were separated when they were young because they fled the famine. Forty years."
"Grandfather once told Minnu that he only had 50% of the prescriptions for treating congenital malaise, and his younger brother was more talented than him. If this uncle survived the famine with a large number of medical books, There must be a prescription that can cure the sickness of the Holy Spirit."
It is unknown whether the fugitives scattered 40 years ago will be alive now. But after Jiang Nuyi said this, the people from the Supervision Office immediately asked for details. They broke the casserole and asked to the end, and they were already planning to do their best to find this lost uncle.
Even if a person may die, even if the person's medical books have already been sold, or even if he himself has no medical skills at all, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, the people in the Supervision Department are like chicken blood.
Although Gu Yuanbai didn't say anything, he acquiesced to the actions of the Supervision Office.
There was a little hope in his heart, but the spark of hope was too small and subtle, and Gu Yuanbai didn't dare to let it bloom wildly. He could only wait for the final result rationally and calmly. Put it on things such as locust plagues, nomadism and longevity festivals.
In this calm and restless atmosphere, the day of Longevity finally arrived.
On the day of the Longevity Festival, Gu Yuanbai dressed in complicated and luxurious clothes according to the emperor's dress code of the Great Heng Dynasty. After all the accessories were hung on his body, Gu Yuanbai held his breath and looked at the person in the bronze mirror.
Tianhuang is expensive, and it is indescribably expensive.
Gu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows and smiled, Mian Yan above his head shook slightly. The incense burner was swirling around, and the dragon pattern on the yellow robe was swimming. He turned around and walked slowly towards the outside. Tian Fusheng stepped forward to support him, "Your Majesty, how tired I am today."
But the sight of people all over the world bowing down to me to celebrate, can't it cure exhaustion
For an ambitious person, such a privilege can be addictive, like the sweetest poison. Gu Yuanbai smiled without saying a word, and walked steadily towards the Golden Palace.
After the sage was firmly seated on the dragon chair, the hundreds of officials below were wearing python robes and stood in awe. In the early rising sun in the east, they said congratulatory messages and worshipped Gu Yuanbai.
At the same time, local incense cases were filed, and local officials dressed in neat robes, leading officials in the government, and bowing three times in the direction of the capital: "May the Holy Body be healthy and the world is peaceful!"
The incense case was filled with smoke, and the whole country celebrated the birthday of the saint. During the three-day rest period, the government will send craftsmen to roam the streets to show the prosperity of Daheng under the current governance.
Wealthy local tyrants or officials even paid for their own pockets to provide free cakes with the four-character "life and nianfeng" for the common people, in order to obtain a good fortune.
There has been no curfew for the past three days, restaurants and restaurants are bustling and bustling, and people come and go when they say "how much is the harvest?" One sentence: "This year is a harvest year."
And far north, thousands of miles away.
Xue Yuan looked up at the noon sky, he restrained his horse, and said loudly: "Dismount the horse and line up!"
The soldier in armor did not hesitate, and the moment he heard the order, he turned over and dismounted.
The cavalry lined up, followed closely by the infantry, and the large troop instantly became a majestic phalanx.
Xue Yuan led the crowd towards the direction of the capital, lifted his robes, knelt down neatly, and said loudly, "I wish me great prosperity, and I wish my holy dragon a healthy body."
This voice was heard back by the officers, eating the food of the saint, and tens of thousands of soldiers wearing the clothes of the saint also knelt firmly, densely packed with blackness, the sound came out, shocking the flock of birds in the dense forest fly.
"I wish me great prosperity! I wish my holy Shanglong good health!"
Xue Yuan shouted three times together with the soldiers. He looked into the distance and thought, if there is really a shameless immortal in the sky, then this immortal can be heard clearly for him.
With so many people praying for Gu Yuanbai, what happened to the little emperor would have to live a hundred years.
