Rabies is almost incurable without a rabies vaccine. The virus acts directly on the nerves and is a highly lethal condition.
The most frightening thing is that the saliva of a rabies patient can be contagious, and once he bites someone, the disease will spread.
Therefore, when He Mulan saw Li Shun who was struggling desperately to attack the guards of the Hu Ben army, his first reaction was to rush forward, raise his fist and knock Li Shun unconscious.
If you let him go crazy like this, it is possible for his throat to spasm to the point of suffocation. If he bites someone else, it will really be a sin.
"Didn't you say he was just scratched?" He Mulan ordered Hu Benjun to remove Li Shun's shirt in full view and let the imperial physician examine him.
The imperial physician was also very frightened of "hydrophobia", and was trembling during the examination, for fear that Li Shun would suddenly wake up and bite.
"Ah, yes, here it is!"
The imperial doctor pointed to a long and narrow mark on Li Shun's shoulder: "This is a wound from an animal's teeth. Because the wound is not deep, I am afraid that Li Shijun didn't take it to heart and did not deal with it at all."
He Mulan was a forensic doctor, so she was very familiar with all kinds of wounds. She went to check and found that the wound was healing very well, so she knew that the imperial doctor was right.
Compared to the wound on his arm, the wound on his shoulder is really insignificant.
"Immediately block this place. Your team protects Li Shijun day and night, but they didn't find anything unusual about him, and they didn't report it. It's regarded as a dereliction of duty, and you will receive ten whips yourself!"
He Mulan frowned and punished the group of guards. The latter knew that this had to be seen by the envoys of Bei Liang, and accepted the punishment without complaint.
"General Hua, this... how is this good?" Mo Gan, the envoy of Beiliang, said in a distraught; "Is it really hydrophobia? Are you going to tie him up?"
yyxs.la
"There is no cure for Li Shijun's illness." Master Cixin concluded, "Overwork made his condition come on earlier, and now he is afraid of light and water. This is a terminally ill condition. Ten days at most, four or five days at least…”
"He'll be manic and die."
After receiving the message, the imperial physician carefully cupped He Mulan's hands: "General, we must keep Li Shijun here, and then let the army leave quickly. Once this disease spreads, the entire mission will suffer. Danger."
"You are Lang Zhong, you have the final say in this regard."
He Mulan was very kind.
Although she knew that rabies can only be contracted through saliva, she really couldn't afford to delay on the road now. The matter of Li Shun was just a reasonable reason to let them hurry as soon as possible.
As for Li Shun, it's impossible to harm others like this, and it can only be said that the way of the heavens is clear, and that she has her own retribution, and it is really great to not have to get her hands dirty.
After being summoned by He Mulan for a meeting, Wei's envoys naturally had no objection to He Mulan's decision. Everyone cherished their lives. The Xianbei people liked hunting, and they were more afraid of hydrophobia than the Beiliang people. This is an incurable disease, and there is no reason to offend the next actual controller, Hua Mulan, for a mortal person.
It's just that everyone involuntarily left a deep awe for He Mulan. Being able to drive her enemy directly into a situation of doom, and convince everyone to follow her footsteps, this Hua Mulan will be valued by His Majesty, and she definitely has a terrifying ability.
For a time, everyone's label of He Mulan's "developed limbs, a simple mind and a righteous personality" was replaced by "unpredictable" and "hidden".
If Zheng Zong knew that his plan could turn He Mulan into such an unpredictable image, he would definitely not be able to resist wanting to "plan and plan" more.
It's a pity that one wave has not settled, and another wave has arisen. When Li Shun woke up, he learned that he had been scratched by a leopard and suffered from "hydrophobia". I am afraid that after he died soon, he was completely crazy.
At this time, in order to fear that he would hurt others, he was tied up in a tent by the Hu Ben army, and only the imperial doctor was there to take care of him and do his final personnel affairs.
When Li Shun had no rabies attack, his mind was still clear, but he was irritable and irritable and could not control his emotions. When he heard that the imperial doctor said that he had "hydrophobia", he finally cried out unbearably:
"That was Hua Mulan who framed me! He framed me! The leopard is the name he made! He communicated with foreign countries and was bribed by Beiliang in private, you can find out! I'm looking for Yuan Po Qiang! It's called Yuan Po. Qiang come! Hua Mulan hurts me, hurts me!"
When Li Shun shouted wantonly, in addition to the imperial physician, there were also several envoys from the Northern Wei Dynasty, all of whom were kindhearted to send him on the last journey to comfort his former colleagues. When they heard Li Shun's roar, they couldn't help but They looked at each other in dismay, and didn't dare to take a step to really look for Yuan Po Qiang.
"As long as I'm not dead, I'm still the master! You guys still don't help me invite Yuan Po Qiang!" Li Shun scolded hoarsely: "I'm not dead yet! The Li family hasn't fallen!!!"
At this time, someone remembered the in-law relationship between Li Shun and Cui Hao, and the friendship between the Li family and the Cui family. Finally, someone gritted their teeth and went to Yuan Po Qiang.
After Yuan Po Qiang was found, he didn't get close to Li Shun, he just stood far away in the corner of the tent, and then let everyone in the tent leave.
Seeing Yuan Po Qiang, Li Shun almost caught the last straw, and said in a panic, "I know that General Yuan is deeply trusted by His Majesty. Zheng Zong and Gai Wu have a lot of gold items of the Northern Liang royal family, all of which are bribes received by Hua Mulan, you can find out when you take someone with you..."
"Oh, Zheng Zong and Gai Wu? You mean that Yan Guan and Hua Mulan's apprentice?" Yuan Po Qiang asked Li Shun with a smile. "Did Li Shijun make a mistake? If you want to give it to Yuan Fang, you know that Yuan Fang takes care of Hua Mulan's money. Why give it to an unfamiliar translator and his own disciple?"
Li Shun was already in a daze at this time, and he shouted irritably: "How do I know what Mulan thinks, you just need to search! If you want to stumble on Hua Mulan, this is the only chance!"
Yuan Po Qiang stood in the shadow of the tent, and shook his head helplessly after listening to Li Shun's hysteria: "I originally thought that you and Hua Mulan would lose both sides, but now look at you as Hua Mulan's opponent. I don’t even have the ability, and losing is too ugly. Don’t say I dare not search, even if I dare to search, what good will it be for me if I find it…”
Yuan Po Qiang looked at Li Shun's desperate eyes, and was even more tired of his stupidity.
When he was about to leave Beijing, he was entrusted by His Majesty to keep an eye on Li Shun and the envoys. He had long known the secret relationship between them, and it was unclear who accepted the bribe.
This kind of thing is only useful to those who have been suspected by His Majesty. For a general like Hua Mulan, even if he really accepts Bei Liang's bribe, perhaps His Majesty will tell that he is deliberately letting it go. Mulan has received an increase in income.
Tuoba Tao really did such a thing, and Hua Mulan was indeed short of money.
Yuan Po Qiang Ruo originally had some careful thoughts, but now he has put it away when he saw Li Shun's downfall, but even though Li Shun came to him, he had to perfunctory. All his feet were exposed.
Thinking of this, Yuan Po Qiang's face became even more regretful.
"Li Shijun had a lot of opinions on Hua Mulan all the way, that's why he suffered this disaster. Although I am the right Sima of the Huben army, I am still under General Hua, and I don't care about the leadership of the army. I really dare not offend General Hua. As for you I am very sympathetic to what happened, but it can only be sympathy, Li Shijun had better recuperate, maybe the situation is not so bad."
He sighed and turned to leave.
"Mulan is a broken sleeve!"
Yuan Po Qiang was just about to lift the curtain, when he heard his footsteps, he suddenly stopped and looked back in disbelief.
"What did Li Shijun say?"
"This matter was accidentally broken by my cronies. Zheng Zong, the translator beside Hua Mulan, was a broken sleeve and seemed to be interested in Hua Mulan, but Hua Mulan didn't like him, but he did not refuse his closeness. Zheng Zong There is a lot of congratulations in the words that Hua Mulan has broken her sleeve, and Hua Mulan also acquiesced."
Li Shun panted and said, "Later, after the big hunting banquet in Liziyuan, I specially asked a male dancer to test Hua Mulan. He was dismissive of women, but he couldn't take his eyes off of men. He really was born with broken sleeves..."
"It's just that I have no evidence, and secondly, he is not good-looking and has no bad deeds. Even if it is revealed that he has a broken sleeve, it will not hurt his roots, so I originally planned to leave this news in Beijing and then spread it..."
This secret is now known only to his cronies and Beiliang King.
His secret letter should have arrived in Guzang, and with Juqu Mengxun's means, Hua Mulan will eventually end in ruin.
Regarding Yuan Po Qiang, he did not shake out all the old bottoms, but closed his eyes to avoid the light and continued: "I don't ask General Yuan to avenge me, I just ask you to take good care of my servants and entourage. We can bring them back to the Li Mansion safely."
Yuan Po Qiang was still immersed in the huge shock of "Mulan is a broken sleeve". Hearing Li Shun's request, he could only nodded silently.
"I see, I will send your family back to your house."
Li Shun knew that Yuan Po Qiang would not help him, because he was unwilling to confront Hua Mulan, which would make the rest of the group unbelievable, and they did not have the energy to affect Tuoba Tao, so he could only ask Source broken Qiang.
"Can I ask Li Shijun why he must tell me this?" Before Yuan Po Qiang came out of the tent, he asked Li Shun, who was no longer struggling, curiously.
"Because of jealousy." Li Shun closed his eyes and said boredly, "I am very sensitive to jealousy in other people's eyes. Every time you look at Hua Mulan, the jealousy in your eyes falls into mine. Yours My background, ability, and ability to lead troops are not under Hua Mulan, but he is crushed by him everywhere, so it is no wonder that there is dissatisfaction in my heart. Now that I am about to die, my words are also good, and Mulan will only climb higher and higher. If you can't get rid of him as soon as possible, sooner or later you will regret it more."
Yuan Po Qiang did not expect that he would say such a thing, so he left the camp noncommittally.
"Jealous..." He let out a long breath, as if speaking to the people inside seemed insulted. "How can you not be jealous when you meet such a person?"
He snorted coldly and shook his head.
"It's a pity that no matter how capable he is, he will only be a leader for the rest of his life. What I value, how could this be..."
Yuan Po Qiang smiled contemptuously, and even more disdain for Li Shun, strode away.
When He Mulan received the news, it happened that Yuan Po Qiang was begging for an interview outside the tent.
She already knew that Li Shun had sent someone to look for him, and she expected it to be Yuan Po Qiang who came to explain.
Yuan Po Qiang was born with two tiger teeth, and his face also looked a little childish, but he inherited the martial arts of his father and brother, and fought bravely without fear of death. Even Tuoba Tao thought he was a desperate Saburo, and it would not be because of his appearance. and despise him.
He Mulan didn't have much contact with him. He used to sway the soldiers who were disobedient to him. He once obtained a complete set of exquisite and gorgeous harnesses, and once received a precious gift from him. It can be seen that he is very generous and can be a man. .
Ever since He Mulan and Yuan Po Qiang were the left and right ministers respectively, they were not as natural as when they were in Montenegro. If it wasn't for Su He-jun's letter, it was clearly written that Yuan Po Qiang was Tuoba Tao who was placed in the mission. He Mulan might have to think about the relationship between Yuan Po Qiang and Li Shun.
Thinking about it this way, Li Shun had to use a plan to alienate the Hu Ben army before he died, which was indeed a shame.
"Li Shun came to me just now and said that General Hua had access to foreign countries and accepted bribes from Beiliang." Yuan Po Qiang sold Li Shun as soon as he entered the account, and said straight to the point, "If General Hua was added 'inexplicably' here. Anything, it's best to get rid of it as soon as possible."
Yuan Fang and Zheng Zong looked at each other with a "surely so" expression on their faces.
He Mulan nodded and accepted his kindness: "That's what Li Shijun used to bribe Zheng Zong. I have written letters with Your Majesty, and most of them have been exchanged for other things through trade, so it doesn't matter."
As soon as Yuan Po Qiang heard He Mulan said that he had written a letter with His Majesty, he knew that he had made the right bet. Hearing this, he only smiled warmly: "General Hua knows the importance, I just came to remind you."
As for the broken sleeves, never mention it.
Every time Yuan Poqiang smiled, he showed his dimples and teeth, and He Mulan stared at Yuan Poqiang's face with interest, "General, it's better not to laugh too much, otherwise the women of Beiliang will chase after the general. I pinch your face."
So cute, how inspiring motherhood!
Yuan Po Qiang originally wanted to quarrel habitually, but suddenly thought of what Li Shun said, his face suddenly stiffened, and he quickly retracted the smile.
"Cough cough, this... General don't joke. I have promised Li Shun to bring his family back to the capital. Can General Hua make it convenient for them to come with me?"
It was a pity for He Mulan that Li Shun's crimes could not be exposed to the world, but no matter what the crime was, it was impossible for her to be conjoined. She readily agreed to his request.
Since he knew that he was loyal to Tuoba Tao, he was his own.
Yuan Po Qiang was here to show his favor and dignitaries, and after the goal was achieved, he got a warrant to lead Li Shun's entourage and others. Among the six people, an old servant was left to take care of Li Shun, who was not far from death. The others probably received instructions from Li Shun before.
A centurion's Hu Ben army had to recuperate because of the whipping, and the rest of the journey could only sit in a heavy car. Li Shun suddenly became a loner. Except for the old servant and the imperial physician, everyone left him. Tomorrow we will set off and go straight to Guzang.
Yuan Po Qiang promised Li Shun to bring his entourage back to Pingcheng, just to let the egret official investigate Li Shun's disgust. Who would have guessed that his actions had gained Li Shun's trust in a certain sense, or he was about to die. The previous dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and could only return hope to Yuan Po Qiang. Just after these followers entered the account and thanked Yuan Po Qiang for taking care of him, Li Shun's most trusted subordinate handed over a bag of things to Yuan Po Qiang.
"After the master was attacked, he was always under the control of General Hua and couldn't fight back. We could only investigate carefully in the Lizi Garden. We found this package in the master's main room." He pointed to That cloth bag, "inside was the scraps of cloth picked out from the threshold, stained with blood, and some fine thorns picked from the clothes, and the tips of the thorns were also stained with blood, we suspect it was the blood of a leopard, the female leopard was It smelled of leopard blood and attacked."
"Leopard blood?"
Yuan Po Qiang asked keenly: "The leopard is alone, and will never come to take revenge for any one."
"I don't know about that. I'm just in charge of handing over this bag to you." The cronie pretended to be stupid, "Wait in Beijing, Egret officials will naturally make a judgment."
Yuan Po Qiang put away the cloth bag with a solemn expression.
"Apart from this, is there any other evidence?"
If Mulan is really so sinister and vicious, then I really need to remind His Majesty to be careful.
A person is not scary to be insidious. What is scary is that if he usually shows himself in a righteous image, he will be almost invisible when he is insidious, and the harm will be even greater.
"Those thorns are not ordinary thorns, but soft thorns sprouting from young hedgehogs. I heard that General Hua's personal guard Chen Jie once released many hedgehogs the day before their master was attacked. At that time, many people in Liziyuan had them. I bumped into it, and this is probably a piece of evidence."
The confidant gave another clue.
Chen Jie, Hedgehog, it seems that even if it wasn't Mulan's shot, she must have inspired her.
Yuan Po Qiang felt a chill on his back and became more cautious in his heart.
"I see, you can step back."
Is he actually such a person who is so inconsistent in his appearance, and who will pay his revenge
***
In just one night, Li Shun fell ill twice. One was in the middle of the night. He almost bit his tongue off in a frenzy. It was all because the old servant put a wooden spoon in his mouth to keep him from biting his tongue. suicide.
The second time was when it was dawn in the morning, when the imperial doctor entered the tent for a check-up. Because the light entered the tent, Li Shun sent troops again. He looked like a madman, and he was injured all over his body.
It is really unbearable that a handsome scribe should end up like this.
But it was also because of Li Shun's illness that everyone in the embassy and the caravan knew that Li Shun had hydrophobia. In this way, the speculation that He Mulan was avenging his personal revenge or malicious power struggle was much less likely. .
No matter how powerful He Mulan is, there is no way to control a person from having hydrophobia, otherwise he would already be invincible in the world.
It can only be attributed to Li Shun's bad luck.
Beiliang put a lot of money on Li Shun, and the envoys from Beiliang originally thought that they would get a lot of help from Li Shun.
The route originally set was to allow the mission to walk from an inaccessible and desolate place, giving Wei the impression of "a desolate and barren country with a sturdy folk customs", thus dispelling Wei's idea of attacking the Liang.
Most of Wei's wars were aimed at plundering people and property, which was related to the nature of most Hu people.
Guzang City is lush with water and grass, and the birds and flowers are fragrant. However, there is a large section of land in the east that is like stones, with no vegetation and trees. It can be said that people are thirsty and hungry to pass through it. Will put a lot of effort into the search.
But now these arrangements have been destroyed by He Mulan.
As a deputy envoy, she took a group of businessmen with her regardless of the safety on the road. These businessmen were not fools. Naturally, she had told He Mulan about the situation around Guzang City long ago. Might agree to go the way east.
If Li Shun was there, he would only expel the caravan and let them follow far behind. Since the two sides had no contact, these arrangements would naturally be a matter of course.
The poor Beiliang envoys almost turned their hair white overnight, and have no idea why things have developed to such an unfavorable situation.
But before they left the city, the Princess Xingping also arranged for them another task.
Speaking of this task, it is even more inexplicable.
"I don't think General Hua doesn't have a wife, is he too high-minded?" Two days later, Mo Gan, an envoy of Beiliang who was familiar with the Hu Ben Army, asked the Hu Ben Army's guards with a wink.
"You know, arranging beauties for the envoy... Hey, we have to know what General Hua likes?"
Several guards laughed tacitly, smiling wretchedly and expectantly.
"Cough, this, to be honest, our generals are not close to women, and they are not people who pay attention to appearance..."
"But it is said that..."
One of the guards lowered his voice and whispered mysteriously:
"Our generals like good people."
He still remembered that people around the general always asked questions like "what kind of person is a good person". During this period of time, they received meticulous hospitality from these Beiliang people. This kind of information is not a secret, and it is easy to find out just by inquiring.
Thinking of this, the guard smiled even more enthusiastically.
"You must be looking for the kind of woman who looks kind and lovely."
Uh…
Mo Gan froze.
Kind and cute
Send it back, will Her Royal Highness tear him up
