After the general fell ill

In the confused eyes of Yan and Yan, Yuan Xue paused, turned to look directly at the young imperial physician, and said in thought: "Du Jing, your words are also a solution, but..."

"But your teacher and I haven't returned to the teacher's school for decades, so whether we can find it is another matter." Cao Shiren said with his hand resting on his forehead.

Su Ce's eyes flicked between the three of them. The young imperial doctor Du Jing seemed to be the favorite student of Xue Yuanshi, and Xue Yuanshi and Cao Shiren were brothers who were from the same school.

The topic was drawn between their masters, which made the pair of brothers suddenly start talking.

"Yaowang Valley hasn't moved much for hundreds of years, why don't we send a letter to Junior Brother Qi first, so that we don't go there and others are gone." Xue Yuanshi suggested.

Cao Shiren nodded in agreement, took out a pen and paper, and said, "When Junior Brother Qi became the owner of the valley, we didn't go back to have a look, so Hongyan sent a letter to congratulate him."

Envoy Xue took it very seriously, walked to the chair next to him and sat down and said, "Before we went down the mountain, we hadn't spoken a few words to Junior Brother Qi. Among our senior brothers, Senior Brother Dou has the best relationship with him." .”

Su Ce was leaning on Gu Yan and felt a little drowsy, but when he heard the word "Dou", he suddenly woke up, and asked tentatively, "The Senior Brother Dou mentioned by the Envoy Xue just now, is Mr. Dou Xian?"

Hearing this, the three doctors sitting in front of the desk looked back at Su Ce, and asked in surprise, "General Su knows this person?"

More than just acquaintance, Su Ce thought, Dou Xian was the insider when he was assassinated by poisoned wine three years ago. Before this person resigned from office and retired, all his medicines and illnesses were handled by him alone.

Fortunately, when he first came to Gu's mansion, he was quite impatient with the words of these two doctors, thinking that they were as good as what Dou Xian said, and he still ridiculed in his heart that they should be born by the same teacher, but he couldn't imagine that they were real brothers .

This is a more beautiful coincidence than the misunderstanding between him and Gu Yan. I can only sigh that the former owner of Yaowang Valley is full of peaches and plums.

Su Ce chuckled, "Dou Xian was the imperial physician who was in charge of treating me when I was in Yan Kingdom."

"General Su, do you know where he is now?" Envoy Xue asked.

Su Cesi and Dou Xian exhorted Yin Yin before they left Guangyang, and said with regret: "Before I went out to fight, he had resigned and retired. Now, I don't know where he is either."

Under Xue Yuanshi and Cao Shiren's regretful eyes, Gu Yan lowered his head and said in a low voice: "An Lan, I never thought that the doctors who treated you were all brothers and sisters. Haven't you become a living signboard of Medicine King Valley?"

Su Ce glanced at him, and said with a smile, "That's not necessarily the case. The doctors I randomly arrested in Jinling are just ordinary people. How can all the doctors in the world learn from the Valley of the Medicine King."

Gu Yan laughed sullenly, "I heard that Junior Brother Qi is very powerful in what they said, maybe there is a way to cure you."

Su Ce watched Cao Shiren write the letter and let the pigeons fly, then patted the back of Gu Yan's hand lightly, and said warmly, "It will be fine."

Before receiving Junior Brother Qi's reply, Court Envoy Xue and Cao Shiren tried their best to stabilize Su Ce's condition, lest it would deteriorate to the point of uncontrollable.

Although the two doctors exhausted their lifelong learning, they failed to make Su Ce's hemoptysis symptoms better. When he was frowning, Du Jing couldn't bear the two old people staying up all night with the lamp on, so he asked him to stay in Gu's mansion to take care of Su Ce, and hurriedly coaxed him The two old men went back to rest.

While Tan Qiu was boiling water, Du Jing came in with big and small medicine bags and boiled medicine beside him.

Du Jing has a calm demeanor. He looks about the same age as Zhuangyuan Lang who rode his horse through the streets some time ago. Although he is young, he is quite skilled in brewing medicine.

Having nothing to do, Tan Qiu approached him and said, "Mr. Du, how long have you been studying with Xue Yuanshi?"

Du Jing turned to look at Tan Qiu and replied, "Four years ago, when I was about to die of illness on the side of the road, I was picked up by my teacher."

Tan Qiu and Du Jing gathered together in the kitchen to wait for the moment, and every word you said turned the topic back to the two masters of Gu's mansion.

"General Su's condition has not improved in the past six months, at least he has stopped vomiting blood, and now he can even get out of bed." Tan Qiu said sadly.

After getting Tan Qiu's permission, Du Jing ate a piece of sugar cane in the kitchen and said, "Don't worry, the teacher said that Uncle Qi is the best among them, and he will have a way to save General Su. I heard that General Su and General Gu are planning to get married, but now because of this illness, I don't know what will happen."

Tan Qiu was silent for a moment, then said softly: "They originally planned to get married after going to war to put down Udi, but now that General Su's condition has relapsed, what should they do when they go to war against Udi?"

Du Jing was surprised for a moment when he heard the words. He was completely different from what Tan Qiu thought. It was just that this sentence was not so profound and formal, but it made him suddenly understand Cao Shiren's persistence.

He is often with Xue Yuanshi, and everything is done from the perspective of a doctor. In the past, he simply understood that Cao Shiren's medical service in the army was treating the wounded, but Tan Qiu woke him up today.

—— There are many choices for doctors, and behind Cao Shiren's insistence is a barrier to protect the Central Plains.

The barrier protects the dynasty from being invaded, but he chooses to stay behind the barrier, willing to be unknown.

33. Worry

He finally admitted it, faced up to the weakness in his heart, and was afraid that Su Ce would walk in front of him.

In a few days, it will be the Light Snow Festival, and the temperature in Chang'an City will drop sharply. On the way to court, Gu Yan learned through Chen Su's mouth that the people at Sitiantai are expected to usher in the first snow in early winter.

Su Ce's illness is still not improving, but this winter is not difficult for him.

Although his illness flared up violently, and bitter medicine entered his throat every day, perhaps because Gu Yan was by his side, even if he died of illness, he was willing to die.

But he still needs to try his best to survive, and he has already agreed to go to Udi with Gu Yan.

— Only this promise must be fulfilled.

During the day, the room was brightly lit, and Gu Yan was afraid that Su Ce's eyes would be damaged if he couldn't read clearly, so he brought the lamp from the study and heated up a charcoal fire at the same time, to protect him from the wind.

Su Ce blinked his sore eyes, and put the books and brushes aside. Today, he finally finished sorting out these military books.

Just as he was about to pull away from the soft pillow behind him and lie down, he saw Gu Yan leading Cao Shiren in hastily.

"Ting Yuan, is it the reply letter from Yaowanggu?" Su Ce asked when he saw this.

"Exactly." Cao Shiren walked up to Su Ce. As soon as the letter was sent back today, he hurried to Gu's mansion, opened the letter and quickly read it, and said, "Junior Brother Qi will return to Yaowang Valley before the end of the month, he told us You can go to him now."

Gu Yan frowned and said, "Can you invite him to come here in person? Now that An Lan is in this body, I'm afraid..."

Cao Shiren handed the letter in his hand to Gu Yan, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only reply: "There are all kinds of precious herbs in the world in the Valley of the Medicine King. I think Junior Brother Qi must think that General Su's treatment in the valley would be better."

Gu Yan wanted to say something, but Su Ce stopped him with his eyes.He took the letter in Gu Yan's hand and read it carefully, then raised his eyes to Cao Shiren and said, "Please trouble Mr. Cao, we will leave soon."

Cao Shiren bowed his hand in return, and after taking a pulse check on Su Ce's condition, he explained some matters to Gu Yan.

When Cao Shiren left, Gu Yan was about to ask questions, but was stopped by Su Ce's casual glance.

Su Ce raised his hand to brush the hair from Gu Yan's sideburns, and softly comforted his brows, "Tingyuan, the Valley of the Medicine King is in Bingzhou, not far from Chang'an City, and we will arrive in a few days."

Gu Yan slowly clasped Su Ce's palm, his warm cheek pressed against Su Ce's cold palm, and he lowered his eyes in silence, as if trying to convince himself.

"Don't worry." Su Ce gently wrapped Gu Yan with his other arm, smoothed his hair, leaned forward so that Gu Yan could look him in the eyes, and said word by word.

"With you here, how could anything happen to me."

Through Su Ce's eyes as clear as autumn water, Gu Yan saw his weak side.

With this body, he has been in the world for 23 years, and he does not know life and is not afraid of death.

If meeting Xiao Zhuo was a watershed in his life, one day the emperor would abandon his desirable weapon—he could die.

But Su Ce can't, he can't allow Su Ce to leave him again.

The journey from Chang'an to Bingzhou is not far at all, everything will be better when he arrives in Yaowang Valley, he just...

"An Lan, I'm afraid." He finally admitted, facing up to the weakness in his heart, afraid that Su Ce would walk in front of him.

In the quiet room, only the slight sound of candles burning could be heard. Su Ce and Gu Yan were so close that apart from the faint scent of medicine lingering around them, they couldn't even hear each other's breathing clearly.

He looked at Gu Yan, who rarely showed a fragile expression, and felt a dull pain in his heart. It was he who forced this man in fresh clothes and angry horses to be frightened and left a weakness.

"Ting Yuan, after you enter the palace and report the situation to His Majesty, hand over these military books to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for me."

Su Ce didn't answer Gu Yan's question directly, his voice was calm and hoarse, but it carried a stabilizing force.

Gu Yan gradually calmed down. He stood up, took Su Ce's military book aside and read a few pages, his expression became more serious as he looked at it, and then he flipped through all these military books, and said in a daze: "An Lan... …you……"

——You annotated and sorted out all the art of war and tactics we discussed, integrated what you have learned all your life, and left it to me.

"Give it to His Highness the Crown Prince yourself." Gu Yan gritted his teeth and paused every word.

"I will definitely explain it to His Royal Highness in person, but I don't know when I will return from this trip. You first give it to His Royal Highness, and I will explain it to him carefully when I come back."

Gu Yan unexpectedly kept silent when he heard the words, and after a while, he nodded his head, which was regarded as his agreement.

"You have a good rest, I'll be back as soon as I go." He bowed his head and kissed the corner of Su Ce's lips lightly, with a gentle voice.

Su Ce nodded and said, "Okay."
