Li Zhang

When Mu Yan rushed to the dungeon, he saw He Qing lying on top of Li Zhang, and neither of them made a sound.His expression changed, and he rushed in a few steps, only to realize that He Qing fell asleep from crying and tired, while Li Zhang was seriously ill.He hurriedly patted He Qing to wake him up, picked up Li Zhang, and left in a hurry.

Emperor Jing used to go to Xishan Hot Spring to stay for a short time before the year. Because Mu Yan was not at ease about the matter of the great prince, he went back to arrange the guards himself, and did not return to the city with Emperor Jing until New Year's Eve.On the first night of the first day of the new year, there was a lot of trouble in the palace, and it spread to the guard camp that night. Zhang Yu, who was on duty, hurriedly found someone to change his shift, and went out of the mansion overnight to find Mu Yan.Mu Yan didn't believe it at first, but after hearing Zhang Yu also tell about Li Zhang's whipping, he felt that things were really bad.He has always been Emperor Jing's bodyguard, and has served as the commander of the bodyguards and instructor in the palace. He has seen too many tricks of killing people in the harem of the inner palace. Sima Yi, who asked for peace in the palace, went back to the mansion and broke into the dungeon of the palace.

Mu Yan brought Li Zhang back to the guard camp, and invited Jin Bai, who was also Sima Yi's staff, to treat Li Zhang.When Jin Bai saw it was Li Zhang again, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.Mu Yan couldn't help becoming nervous and asked, "How?"

Jin Bai glanced at Mu Yan: "If you are really nervous about this child, you should insist on keeping him."

Mu Yan scratched his head in embarrassment: "The prince is always the prince..."

"The male waiter is just a male waiter, right?!" Jin Baibai gave Mu Yan a look: "Then what kind of formation and mental skills are you teaching! Let him practice a few fists and kicks to strengthen his muscles and bones!"

"He... is indeed a prodigy at practicing formations. If not for his weak physical foundation, he would be a prodigy at practicing martial arts."

"Then you just accept him!"

"..."

"Is it because of your status? Then why did you save him this time! If it wasn't for the prince's will, he wouldn't be able to reach this point. I don't want to save a person and die again because of the same thing!"

After Jin Bai finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Mu Yan hurriedly stopped him: "You have such a temper! What time is it, you still make trouble! It's important to save people!"

"I can't save him. He suffered a violent blow when his internal breathing was disordered, and his heart vessels were damaged. What's the point of saving if he no longer wants to live?"

Mu Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and looked at the drowsy Li Zhang in disbelief, remembering the way he asked himself if he was a qualified bodyguard, with such flying pride and self-confidence, gushing youthful vigor, now he would Waiting to die? !Mu Yan finally felt that he was wrong, although he still didn't understand where he was wrong or why he was wrong.

He pulled Jin Bai hard again: "You save him! I'll take him as a disciple when he recovers!"

Jin Bai squinted his slender phoenix eyes: "Have you figured it out?"

"Yes!"

"Then go ask the prince and allow Li Zhang's mother to come and take care of her."

"...Must be so?"

"It must be so!"

"Okay! I'll go there now."

As soon as Sima Yi returned to the mansion, he saw Feng Yu came to greet him with a sullen look, and was about to scold him for not recovering from his injuries, when he heard him whisper that Commander Mu broke into the dungeon and took Li Zhang away, he felt strange, Mu Yan already begged to see him loudly outside the house.

After Feng Yu withdrew, Mu Yan knelt down on one knee and confessed to Sima Yi: "This subordinate made his own decision and brought Li Zhang back to the guard camp for treatment. Please forgive me, my lord!"

Sima Yi has already thought about the process of that night quickly. Although he knew that Feng Yu's injury was indeed Li Zhang's fault, he still didn't want to let Li Zhang go.So with a cold face, he said in a calm voice: "Why does Commander Mu take care of the affairs of the prince's inner palace? Even with the emperor, there are no such rules, right?"

Mu Yan carefully explained: "Li Zhang has excellent aptitude, and his subordinates intend to accept him as a disciple. Due to his identity, he has never dared to reveal it. The prince has lofty aspirations, and Li Zhang is a piece of rough jade. It must be the prince's right-hand man, no less than Ling Jiaerlang!"

Sima Yi was suddenly amused when he heard it before, but the last sentence aroused the hidden hatred in his heart, he couldn't help but look a little darker, and snorted coldly.

Mu Yan himself didn't expect that sentence to come out, and was so regretful that he wanted to bite off his tongue.But he was the one who watched Sima Yi grow up, seeing that Sima Yi's thoughts on Ling Yuncong had never been let go, he always felt uneasy.The Ling family army in Youzhou has always been the most solid barrier for the Great Wei. If they act willfully and recklessly, they will self-destruct the Great Wall.Therefore, regardless of Sima Yi's unhappy face, he continued to say: "Isn't this the intention of the prince to put Li Zhang into the guard camp? And Li Zhang really lived up to expectations. The battle at Qifengkou, for a fledgling He said that the formation is already remarkable. He has quite the essence of Jiufan formation now, what he lacks is only the cultivation of martial arts. The subordinate decided to pass on all the knowledge he has learned all his life, and carve out this beautiful jade for the prince . Please complete it, my lord!"

Although Sima Yi didn't like to be poked out, Mu Yan's words still fit him well.He just hated his uncontrollable strange thoughts about Li Zhang, so he wanted to take the opportunity to destroy him altogether.He must control everything, whether it is people or things.Only when everything is under his control can he feel safe.

Therefore, he calmed down and let Mu Yan stand up to speak.He still respected Mu Yan very much, knowing that Emperor Jing cared about him, so he asked Mu Yan to come to help him, but he was still bitter about the death of his mother and Concubine Zhao, and even blamed Emperor Jing for his inaction.

"If Commander Mu intends to accept disciples, it will be Li Zhang's blessing. If that's the case, let Commander Mu deal with Li Zhang."

"My lord, I still have something to ask..."

"Oh?"

"This subordinate would like to ask the prince to allow Li Zhang's mother, Mrs. Gu, to come and take care of her for a few days."

Sima Yi frowned: "Why?"

"Li Zhang is seriously ill..."

"Fengyu's injury is being watched by Doctor Zhang, and by the way let him also look at Li Zhang."

"My subordinates have already found Jin Bai..."

"I forgot about him. Since I found Jin Bai, it should be fine."

"Jin Bai said that Li Zhang has no will to survive, and I'm afraid he won't be able to survive."

"Oh?..." Sima Yi was stunned for a while, got up with a smile, and said, "You actually know what this king is thinking. Hehe, it's getting more and more interesting. This king will go and have a look." As he spoke, he strode out go.

When they arrived, Jin Bai had just finished administering the needles to Li Zhang, causing a mouthful of blood, and was helping He Qing to feed him medicine.Li Zhang frowned tightly, feeling dizzy from the fever, and had no consciousness of swallowing at all. Every spoonful of medicine had to be swallowed by Jin Bai squeezing his teeth and stroking his throat.Sima Yi couldn't help frowning as he watched.

It took more than half an hour to finish a bowl of medicine.Jin Bai had been Sima Yi's accompanying student for three years, and was a few years older than him, so he didn't have as many rules with him as Mu Yan.Besides, he had some complaints about Sima Yi's handling of Li Zhang's matter, so he gave a little salute and followed He Qing who packed up his things and left, without any intention to elaborate on his illness.Sima Yi knew his temper, so he didn't take it for granted, he just sat at the table and drank tea slowly.Seeing that Sima Yi had no intention of leaving, Mu Yan also sat beside him.

Li Zhang stabilized for less than a moment, then lifted the quilt uncomfortably.Mu Yan went over to cover him up, and pressed the corner of the quilt to prevent him from lifting it again.Li Zhang's face was thin and small, and his black hair was scattered between the pillows. He kept shaking and trying to break free from Mu Yan's oppression.Mu Yan looked uncomfortable, and twisted a new cold water towel to replace his forehead, which was already steaming. Li Zhang finally calmed down a little, but called "Mother" softly.

This call made Mu Yan stop his hands in embarrassment, and Sima Yi also stopped drinking tea.

After a long time, Sima Yi said softly: "Just follow Jin Bai's opinion. It's just..."

Sima Yi didn't finish his sentence.He remembered Li Zhang's begging when he first entered the mansion.Thinking about it, he never cried to himself like that again.

Mu Yan went to Li's mansion in person and told Li Fengzhi very politely that Li Zhang was very good in the guard camp of the palace. Take care of one or two.Li Fengzhi was very surprised and a little flattered, he agreed repeatedly, and asked Gu Wen to pack up and take an old lady to the palace that day.

Mu Yan cleaned up two rooms for them in the outer courtyard of the palace. Gu Wen couldn't hold back his tears when he saw Li Zhang's sick and torn bones.In fact, she knew about Li Zhang a long time ago, and she didn't want Li Zhang to pretend not to know every time because she was worried about herself.Her son is too sensible, he knew how to protect his mother when he was four or five years old, she was afraid that she would not be able to protect her, so she forced him to learn to compromise, but in the end he still couldn't protect...

Gu Wen swallowed his sobs, seeing that Li Zhang was about to wake up, he hurriedly got up to wash his face and touch up his makeup, when Li Zhang opened his eyes, he saw his mother smiling kindly with a loving face.He was startled in a dream, closed his eyes and opened them again in disbelief, Gu Wen had already wrung a warm towel to wipe his face.

"Mother..." Li Zhang's voice choked hoarsely.miss mother.I was afraid of seeing my mother again.I was so full of grievances that I couldn't tell my mother, and I didn't even dare to shed tears.

Gu Wen wiped his hands and lowered his head to hide the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to Li Zhang with a smile: "My lord said you were sick and missed your mother, so I asked my mother to come and take care of you for a few days. Mother didn't know yet, so my Zhang'er has died. He's a man now, able to protect the prince..." She couldn't bear it anymore, and she touched Li Zhang's thin and pointed cheeks and wept.

Li Zhang hurriedly held his mother's hand and said, "It's just a little cold, it's okay. Mr. Jin is good at medicine, and he will get up soon."

Just as he was talking, Jin Bai brought He Qing over, and after entering the door, he bowed deeply to Gu Wen.Gu Wen hurriedly got up to return the gift.

Li Zhang introduced softly: "Mother, this is Lord Jin."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wen bowed deeply again.

Jin Bai returned the salute again, and then said with a chuckle: "Madam, please sit down, we can't keep presenting salutes like this, can we?"

Gu Wen smiled embarrassedly and said: "I am very grateful to the lord for his healing, I can't repay you, I can only have a few blessings."

Jin Bai looked at Li Zhang with a smile, and saw that his face, which had been gloomy for several days, was indeed much brighter, and nodded with satisfaction: "Sure enough, heart disease needs heart medicine. Auntie, you are the good doctor of Mr. Li!"

Gu Wen didn't understand, and turned to look at Li Zhang.Li Zhang lowered his eyes and said softly: "Chinese New Year... I miss my mother."

Only Li Zhang knows how much pain and grievances are contained in just a few words.Jin Bai also sighed secretly.Only Gu Wen stepped in without knowing it, and said to Jin Bai embarrassedly: "This child is delicate since he was a child, and adults laughed at him."

Jin Bai said solemnly: "My aunt is too modest. Although Mr. Li is weak in writing, he has a strong heart, which is not comparable to ordinary people."

Gu Wen's eyes lit up, and immediately swept away the mournful and weak attitude, showing a bit of heroism, seeing Jin Bai secretly praised him, and then realized that Li Zhang's inner pride and heroism came from a source.

Gu Wen bowed to Jin Baifu again, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Li Zhang is too stubborn. I know that rigidity is easy to break, but my nature is like this. It doesn't mean that I can change it if I change it. The palace is no more tolerant than Xiaojia. Willful and willful, I am bold, and I would like to ask the adults to mention a few more points, I will be grateful!"

Jin Bai returned the salute sternly when he heard the words, but said with a smile that although Li Zhang was stubborn, he had his own destiny, so that Gu Wen didn't have to worry too much, and he could see Li Zhang's outstanding day in the future.

Gu Wen really felt relieved at this point.
