He held his hands firmly on the ground, stood up, and limped slowly back down. The thirty-nine steps almost killed him. He felt that if he took one more step, he would fall, but he couldn't. He gritted his teeth and endured it until he reached the palace gate and saw Song Fu running towards him, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

Lu Zhishan was in a coma for a day and a night. He woke up only in the evening of the second day. His whole body was sore and his knees were in terrible pain. He reached down and touched it. Sure enough, it was already swollen to the point of being unbelievable. Staring unblinkingly at the bamboo sign on the bed tent, he suddenly remembered that when he returned to Beijing last year, he saw the same bed tent when he woke up, and then Mrs. Duan came in to help him wash up while suppressing his cough.
A year has passed, and he still seems to be standing still.
Lu Zhishan closed his eyes tiredly.
Song Fu came in to help Lu Zhishan wash up. Looking at Lu Zhishan's expression, he didn't dare to say a word. He served the medicinal meal and a few delicious side dishes and left after finishing his work.
As soon as Du Heng came in, he had a look of suppressed anger. He said viciously: "This is someone who deliberately framed the general. He knew that the general had a chronic knee disease, but made the general kneel on the floor tiles for an hour in the cold weather. We must find out who has this evil intention! Is it because he hopes that the general’s legs will never recover?”
Lu Zhishan lowered his head, drinking the medicinal food that Song Fu brought in, and said in a slow tone: "I want to find out, and I really need to peel off the skin and cramp."
Du Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the edge of Luzhi Mountain. As soon as he smelled the smell of the medicinal food, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "My subordinates are really aggrieved for the general. The general is killing the enemy with blood on the front line. This villain is here." The capital is just sitting back and enjoying its achievements, but now it wants to use such despicable methods to frame the general, which is really annoying. "
"They think that I have been killing the enemy for twelve years, and it is not as effective and safe as giving away the enemy's gold and silver women. What they are most afraid of is not that Dali will be defeated, but that the eldest prince will make new achievements," Lu Zhishan stirred the bowl. He said with a sarcastic smile, "Now that I have been defeated and have been deprived of the title of king by Long Live, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. I, a cripple, can no longer stand in their way."
Du Heng couldn't hide his sadness: "Prince, you don't have to make yourself so embarrassed. As long as you take good care of your legs, they will definitely heal. After all, you are still young and have a good foundation."
Lu Zhishan took a sip of the medicinal meal and said nothing.
Du Heng was afraid of hurting Lu Zhishan, so he was so busy that he took out three land deeds from his arms, forced out a smile and said to Lu Zhishan: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell the general, the last general built three more in Jiangnan. Zhuangzi has a total of 1,300 acres of land. My subordinates want to plant tea in two farms and crops in one farm. These three farms are not wild land. It turns out that the tenants in them have not left. They will be able to make profits in the second half of next year. General, please take a look."
Lu Zhishan said to Du Heng: "You have good eyesight and have always been smart. You can just do whatever you want. If you hadn't been holding on to that silver mine back then, you wouldn't have enough money to buy more property now."
Du Heng smiled: "At that time, the direction of the wind in the court was already in the wrong direction. Of course, I must consider the prince and leave a way out. I also want to thank the general for trusting his subordinates and leaving such a big matter to his subordinates. "
