Chapter 685: Tongguan Female General, Chang'an Traveling Doctor(1/2)

In the main hall of the royal palace, everyone was discussing the rescue of Xue Rengui. The housekeeper suddenly came to report: "Madam, second wife, Qingzhu, the follower of Doctor Yun, is here!"

"Oh? Let him come in!" Liu Yinhuan raised his eyebrows lightly, and then ordered.

After the butler responded, Zhou Qing couldn't help but frown and asked, "Sister-in-law, what is Qingzhu doing at this time?"

"Zhou Qing, don't think too much! This Qingzhu should have been asked by Doctor Yun, and it was probably brought to his sister by giving medicine," Zhaoyang said calmly.

After hearing what Zhaoyang said, Zhou Qing and the others looked at each other and couldn't say anything more.

Soon, under the guidance of the butler, Qingzhu walked in with a quaint black wooden box.

"Qingzhu has met his wife, second wife, lady!" Qingzhu, who did not look at Zhou Qing and others at all, said politely to Liu Yinhuan, Zhaoyang and Xue Jinlian.

Liu Yinhuan smiled and asked, "Qingzhu, why are you here alone today? Is there anything wrong?"

"Madam! Last night, Yun Weng refined the ginseng pills for Peiyuan Qi cultivation overnight and asked me to send them to the two wives," Qingzhu said, then raised his hand slightly and signaled the ancient black wooden box in his hand.

When Xue Jinlian heard this, she hurried over with joy on her face and reached out to take it and said, "Thank you, Brother Qingzhu!"

"Slow down!" Xue Xiantu, who was sitting at Zhou Qing's head, stood up, walked straight to the side, and reached out to Xue Jinlian: "Jinlian, come, show me."

Xue Jinlian hesitated slightly when she heard this, but still handed the black wooden box in her hand to Xue Xiantu.

After taking the jade box, Xue Xiantu, who slowly opened it, saw two exquisite jade bottles, one of the blue and the other, placed side by side.

He reached out and took out the white jade bottle. He handed the wooden box to Xue Jinlian, and opened the white jade bottle directly. In an instant, a refreshing aroma of medicine spread out. It made people feel a little shocked when they smelled it.

"Hmm? This medicine smells a bit unusual. Can I taste one?" Xue Xiantu, who raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his head and looked at Qingzhu with a smile and asked.

Seeing this, Zhaoyang frowned slightly, and then hurriedly said, "Picture first, I'll give this medicine to me and my sister. You're not sick or painful, what should you taste?"

"Yes. Picture first! It's three parts poisonous, don't do anything," Liu Yinhuan also said hurriedly.

Qingzhu looked at Xue Xiantu indifferently and curled the corners of her mouth: "It's okay, this is a medicine for nourishing qi. Even if it's not sick or painful, taking it will be beneficial to the body. And this general should have suffered severe internal injuries. Although it has healed, he still has old diseases, sometimes chest tightness and uncomfortableness. Taking one pill smoothes out qi and blood is fine."

"Is that so? Then I want to try one more," Xue Xiantu's eyes narrowed slightly, then he smiled and gently poured out a pill in the jade bottle, twisted the white pill like a little pearl, and threw it into his mouth.

The pill that melted in his mouth directly turned into a cool energy and spread down his throat and dispersed towards his internal organs. Xue Xiantu, who had a trembling body, took a deep breath after a while. He couldn't help but look up at Qingzhu in surprise.

Seeing this, Qingzhu smiled: "How is this general? Does this medicine taste good?"

Xue Xiantu, who was slightly twitching from the corner of his mouth, capped the jade bottle, placed it in the wooden box held by Xue Jinlian, turned around and walked back to her original position and sat down.

Seeing Xue Jinlian walking back to Liu Yinhuan with a light walk, Qingzhu smiled and said with a light smile: "Two ladies, Miss Jinlian! The two bottles of pills, the white bottle was prepared by Yun Weng for the second wife, and the blue bottle was prepared for the wife. The two bottles of pills were made of thousands of years of wild ginseng and medicine, but because the two ladies' situations were different, the medicine was different, and there were still some differences."

"Okay, we understand!" Liu Yinhuan, who nodded slightly, smiled and said, "Qingzhu, please come and go."

"Madam is so serious! If nothing else, I will say goodbye first!" Qingzhu, who was about to turn around and leave, seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile at Xue Xiantu and said, "By the way, this general, if you meditate and run qi and blood, the medicine will be better. The old diseases in your body should be eradicated soon."

After saying that, Qingzhu turned around and left.

After Qingzhu left, everyone in the main hall looked at each other and didn't say anything for a while.

"Cough!" After a while, Zhou Qing, who coughed lightly, said with a straight face: "This Qingzhu has extraordinary martial arts skills and must be taught by a famous teacher. It seems that it is not as simple as an ordinary servant. That magic doctor Yun has a superb medical skills and his origin is definitely not simple."

Li Qingxian shook his head and said helplessly: "Okay, Zhou Qing, what's the use of this? What we need to consider now is how to save our elder brother."

"To save my elder brother, we must naturally know what happened," Xue Xiantu said: "We learned about the general situation before. My elder brother is still intoxicated in the prison! This matter is really wrong. We all know that my elder brother has a good alcohol tolerance. Therefore, we need to find a way to see what happened to my elder brother, and it is best to ask the doctor to check him. Only by awakening my elder brother can we know what happened."

Brothers Wang Xinxi and Wang Xinhe couldn't help but nodded slightly: "It makes sense!"

"But we can't get in the heavenly prison, let alone bring the doctor in," Zhou Qing shook his head.

Xue Xiantu hurriedly said, "So, when we go to Chang'an, we still have to ask Duke Lu and others for help. The two sisters-in-law went to see the elder brother. I think the emperor would not be so unreasonable, right?"

"This is hard to say!" Zhou Qing frowned and shook his head, "In fact, if you can find someone who can speak in front of the emperor and plead for the elder brother, it is the most effective way. We do not seek to find out the truth of the matter so easily. As long as the emperor can know some of the tricks, there is hope to save the elder brother."

Xue Xiantu nodded thoughtfully and said, "We still have to go to Chang'an to check the specific situation before we can decide what to do. Time is not waiting for anyone, and the eldest brother is still suffering in prison. When will we set off for Chang'an?"

"The two sisters-in-law are not in good health. I think they are still waiting for a few days. Let's talk about it when their bodies recover!" Zhou Qing couldn't help but frown and said.

When Liu Yinhuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Six brothers, my body doesn't matter, you can set off immediately!"

"Yes! We have the medicine prescribed by Doctor Yun. There are those pills that you can take. There will be no problem, so don't waste your time," Zhaoyang also said hurriedly.

Seeing them saying this, the six generals who looked at each other nodded slightly. They really couldn't wait.

Tongguan is located at the Yellow River Ferry. It is located in the key to the three provinces of Jin, Shaanxi and Henan. It is the key to the post road from Chang'an to Luoyang. It is the key to entering and exiting the Three Qins. Therefore, it has become a must-pass place and pass for the Western Regions to enter the Central Plains and go west to Guanzhong since the end of the Han Dynasty. It has always been a place that military strategists must fight for. It is known as "the first danger within the capital", "the throat of the four towns", and "the hundred and two gates".

Between rivers and mountains, Tongguan has been dangerous since ancient times. One man should be a pass and ten thousand men cannot open it.

On this day, when the sun sets and the sky is about to turn red, Tongguan has been closed. On the official road in the distance, the six imperial generals and Xue Jinlian are carrying dozens of cavalry guarding a carriage, running towards me in dust.

The general of Tongguan, who received the report from the soldiers guarding the pass, hurried to the pass, and dozens of cavalry had already arrived outside the pass.

"Who are you? You are going to pass the pass at night?" The general of Tongguan frowned and shouted.

Zhou Qing climbed forward and raised his head and shouted, "We are the six generals of the imperial conferred by the late emperor. Now we are escorting the wife and daughter of Marshal Xue Rengui, who is shoulder to shoulder with him, to Chang'an to meet the saint. I hope the general will make it easier to go, and to remember Marshal Xue Pingboliao's contribution to the country. I am sorry for Mrs. Xue coming from all the way and let us pass the test."

"This" the general of Tongguan frowned slightly when he heard this, and then he was embarrassed: "This is General Zhou Qing? General Zhou, Is this general unwilling to do this convenience. It is really the court's own laws and regulations. He is in seclusion at night and must not be turned on and off unless it is urgent. Otherwise, the general will retreat for the time being and come back tomorrow morning!"

Zhou Qing couldn't help but frown and said, "General! We are in a hurry to go to Chang'an, but now we have missed the place where we sleep in the open. Even if the general doesn't let me go out of the customs, should we wait to enter the customs and rest?"

"General Zhou, I really can't turn on the switch!" said the general of Tongguan and was about to turn around and leave.

Xue Jinlian was angry when she heard this, and couldn't help but step forward and shouted: "What kind of general are you? My father made great achievements in the Tang Dynasty, but now he is wrongly imprisoned. You are also a general in the army, so he ignored it. We are just to pass the test, so why bother us, the orphans and widows, so we are so embarrassed? Can we show the general's loyalty to the court in this way?"

"Bold! You are a little baby, and you dare to speak rudely to me?" The general of Tongguan suddenly became a little embarrassed and upset when he heard this: "I have been ordered by the emperor to guard Tongguan, so I naturally have to perform my duties conscientiously. What's wrong with this? What's wrong with this general? It's not your turn to evaluate me! Humph, I admire Marshal Xue, but I didn't expect that his daughter would be so uneducated!"

Xue Jinlian was so angry that her pretty face turned red: "It's not your turn to ask whether I have education or not! But you, a general guarding the gate, actually bickered with me, a little woman. Don't you blush? Don't you want to guard the gate? Well, my aunt, I'll pass the gate today. What do you want to do? If you have a good experience, I'll share the same level with my aunt and see if you, the general of Tongguan, who was granted by the imperial court, is qualified!"

"What a rampant girl!" The general of Tongguan was so angry that he laughed: "Come here, come and take my weapons! I want to see how brave the daughter of the king who is shoulder to shoulder can be as brave as his father!"

While speaking, the general of Tongguan got off the gate and rode alone in his arms and galloped out of the slowly opened gate.

"Jinlian, don't be impulsive, let me do it!" Zhou Qing frowned and held a big knife in his hand and said immediately.

Xue Jinlian waved her jade hand and looked at the general of Tongguan with beautiful eyes: "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, my niece knows it's amazing! He dares to underestimate me, but underestimate my father. I must ask him to see how powerful I am."

"Hmph! You're pretty, I hope you really have that ability," the general of Tongguan sneered when he heard this.

Xue Jinlian, with a slightly dark face, said nothing more. She held the reins of the horse with one hand and a long halberd in the other hand, and rode her horse directly towards the general of Tongguan.

The general of Tongguan didn't care at all, and he also rode his horse in a row with a gun in his hand.

The two horses approached, and the spears and halberds raised together, striking hard. The General of Tongguan, who had a trembling body, shook back with a moving expression. Almost at the same time, the long halberd brushed his chest and flashed with a low impact. A few shells flew out, revealing a broken hole in the armor on his chest.

The two horses intersected, looked down at the general of Tongguan on his chest. He turned his head and looked at Xue Jinlian, a girl who was only over ten years old opposite him with a slightly complicated expression. He shook his head and sighed: "It turns out that he is a tiger father without a dog. I lost, I am convinced! I will let you pass the test."

"Really?" Xue Jinlian was stunned, and then she was so surprised that she immediately bowed to the General of Tongguan and said, "Thank you for your kindness to be at peace with the general!"

The general of Tongguan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and rode his horse towards Tongguan to close the door: "Open and close the door!"

"Haha. Jinlian, it's amazing!" Zhou Qing and others came to protect the carriage, and they couldn't help but smile at Xue Jinlian with praise. Xue Jinlian's pretty face turned slightly red.

When the group was heading into Tongguan, they did not find that on the top of the south mountain, several figures were looking far away at the east gate of Tongguan, Yun Lingyun and Qingzhu Qingyuan brothers.

"It seems that our worries are unnecessary." Qingzhu shook his head and smiled slightly, "This golden lotus is still very powerful!"

Qingyuan, who was also wrapped his hands in his chest and smiled and said, "I said it long ago! This is Tongguan. Even if someone wants to attack them, he will not dare to act rashly. After leaving Tongguan, it is not far from Chang'an. Let's go quickly and try to arrive in Chang'an before them and prepare early."

Chang'an, as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is naturally prosperous and lively, and people from all walks of life gather.

Pinglefang in Chang'an is a place where all parties gather and all the people of all religions and the people of all religions and the worlds are mixed.

In the past few days, a visiting doctor has come to Pinglefang. At first, people didn’t care much. But slowly, this visiting doctor’s medical skills has been spread.

In a small alley in Pinglefang, a scar-faced man with a cold expression stood with his hands behind his back. On the side, a young man who looked like an ordinary gangster was whispering something to him respectfully.

The scarred man stood quietly, staring at the opposite side of the street in front of him, where there was a small stall. An old man with gray hair and beard smiled gently on his face to take his pulse for the patients who were queuing for the doctor. On the side, a slim girl with a veil and a young man, and a bearded man were helping, enjoying himself.

"Sir, you have also seen that the people who are treating the doctor here are almost blocking the streets. The old man's medical skills are absolutely amazing," said the young man on the side, "A few days ago, a beggar was hit by a carriage and flew out directly. His chest was sunk. He was unable to survive, but he was rescued by the old man in a few seconds. He could walk and leave at that time!"

The scarred man trembled slightly when he heard this, and he said calmly: "Is it so amazing?"

"Hey! Sir, don't believe it! I specifically asked those who went to treat the disease. There were no ones that the old man could not treat. Almost all the medicine could cure the disease!" said the young man.

The scarred man with a deep face looked thoughtful after hearing this, and after a while, he said, "Okay, I understand, you go!"

"Hey! Thank you sir!" After taking the silver ingot that the scar-faced man threw at him, the young man couldn't help but nod and bowed with a smile on his face and left.

After the young man left, the scarred man then walked forward and went straight to the stall where Yun Weng was diagnosed.

He was unceremonious and pushed away a middle-aged man who sat in front of Yun Weng and stretched out his hands. The scar-faced man standing in front of Yun Weng took out a ingot of gold and placed it on the table in front of Yun Weng, and said calmly: "Follow me to treat someone. If you are ready, you will receive a reward!"

"Haha!" Yun Weng looked up at him, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

Qingyuan and Qingzhu, who were sorting out her medicinal materials, looked at each other not far away, then walked over with a slightly raised corner of their mouths, reached out to stop the scar-faced man and smiled: "Please queue up!"

"Huh?" The scar-faced man suddenly looked slightly dark when he heard this, and his eyes were sharply looking at Qingyuan.

Facing the scar-faced man's gaze with a cold and gloomy smell, Qingyuan smiled calmly and directly reached out to pull the scar-faced man out of the crowd.

The scar-faced man, who was slightly stunned, saw Qingyuan attacking him, immediately took a sharp move and grabbed Qingyuan's arm.

However, Qingyuan, whose arms were tense in an instant, shook his arms, and the scar-faced man took two steps back as if he was struck by lightning. His loose hand trembled slightly, and he looked up at Qingyuan in horror.

"Little brother, good means!" After taking a deep breath to calm down the shock in his heart, the scarred man couldn't help but look at Qingyuan with a serious look. He knew that he had met a real master. However, although he was shocked, he was also surprised. Only a real master can have real skills and be more confident in curing diseases and saving people!

Qingyuan smiled calmly and said, "Your Excellency, if you want to see a doctor, you must abide by our rules."

"Haha, I was reckless before!" The scar-faced man couldn't help but bow, "But I wonder if the old man can go with me to diagnose someone's illness? The conditions are easy!"

Qingyuan refused to comment: "Haha, if you can afford a person like Brother Taiwan, the identity of that patient should be extraordinary. So, I naturally believe that you can pay a generous medical fee. However, our old man also has his own rules. Let's do it! When he finishes his diagnosis today, go and diagnose the patient you mentioned!"
