"Miss Jing, how is Teacher Wen Ji?"
Cloud Mountain, Sun Simiao's courtyard.
Hu Jing was brought into the room by Yuchi Baolin. After taking Li Gang's pulse for a while, she put down Li Gang's wrist with a heavy expression. At this time, Li Tai hurriedly asked.
The others also looked nervously at Hu Meng. Hu Meng was silent for a moment before he finally said softly, "Teacher Wen Ji said too much to you guys just now. His body can't take it anymore and he has already fainted. When Master comes back at noon, he will give Teacher Wen Ji acupuncture. His condition should be better!
Teacher Wen Ji is already very old, and last night he was injured. Those injuries may only be minor injuries to ordinary people and will be healed in two days, but for Teacher Wen Ji, they can take his life!
This morning, I heard someone say that although Teacher Wen Ji was injured last night, he was still fearless in front of Wu Jie, and even righteously denounced Wu Jie as a barbarian martial artist. Teacher Wen Ji must have been holding on for the sake of the Academy! However, he has consumed a great deal of his life potential. Elder's pulse and aura of life are getting weaker and weaker. What Master and I can do is to keep him alive and try our best to keep him alive for a few more days! "
"What?!"
Hearing this, Li Tai, Qin Huaiyu, and the others all opened their eyes in shock. Sun Zifan anxiously said, "Miss Jing, is there really no other way? As long as we can cure Teacher Wen Ji, we will find any rare herbs for you! "
Li Tai's eyes lit up and he quickly nodded, "Yes! Zifan is right, Miss Jing, if you need any herbs, just tell me. If I remember correctly, there should be a ginseng that is nearly a thousand years old in the palace. Do you think it will be useful for Teacher Wen Ji? "
"Thousand year old ginseng?!"
Hu actually opened her small mouth in surprise, then she frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Ginseng is a great supplement to the vitality, it can heal the meridians and stabilize the broken bones. In order to save people in danger, the effect of the thousand-year-old ginseng is even stronger. Just a root can also save Teacher Wen Ji's life. This thousand-year-old ginseng does have some use, but Teacher Wen Ji is already at the end of his life. Even if we have the elixir, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do to save him!"
Hearing this, Li Tai and the other three couldn't help but reveal a deep sadness on their faces. At this time, they couldn't help but think of the kind smile that Li Gang had revealed in the Academy in the past, and last night when the Academy was facing a great enemy, Li Gang, as a scholar, had stepped forward without hesitation to stand in front of all the students and let out a deafening cry. They would never forget this scene for the rest of their lives!
"Miss, please take care of Teacher Wen Ji. Even if it can only increase Teacher Wen Ji's life by a few days, I will go back to the palace and ask father for the elixir!"
Li Tai's eyes were a little wet. He quickly turned his back and wiped his eyes with his sleeve. Then he turned around and solemnly saluted Hu.
Hu hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will take good care of Teacher Wen Ji!"
"Okay!"
Li Tai nodded, then waved to the other three and said, "Huaiyu, Bao Lin, Zifan, let's go! Don't disturb Teacher Wen Ji's rest! "
"Okay!"
The three of them nodded and said their goodbyes. Then, they followed Li Tai out of the room.
…
"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Wei requests an audience!"
At noon, Li Er took a nap in the Sweet Dew Hall. As soon as he woke up, a chamberlain came in and bowed.
Li Er frowned and said in a deep voice, "Let him in!"
"Yes!"
The chamberlain cupped his hands and left. After a while, Li Tai walked in quickly. Just as he was about to salute, Li Er waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite! Did Li Zexuan send you any news? "
Subconsciously, Li Er thought that Li Tai had come to the palace because he had received a telegram about the front line.
Li Tai was startled at first, then he shook his head and said, "Father, Yamachō has not sent back any new news. I am here today to ask father for a medicinal herb!"
"Medicinal herb? What kind of herb? "
Li Er was a little disappointed at first, but when he heard that Li Tai was here to ask for a medicinal herb, he couldn't help but be curious.
Li Tai bowed deeply and said, "I heard that there is a ginseng that is almost a thousand years old in the palace's warehouse. I beg father to give me one of the roots of this ginseng!"
Li Er couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want a thousand years old ginseng for?"
There was indeed a thousand years old ginseng in the palace, but Li Er had prepared it for himself. After all, ginseng of this age was really hard to come by. No matter how rich or powerful you were, you might not be able to get it! This thing could save one's life at a critical moment. For Li Er, it couldn't be measured by money. It was definitely a priceless treasure!
Li Tai said with a sad face, "Father, Teacher Wenji is seriously ill and urgently needs a thousand years old ginseng to save his life. I beg father to give him the medicine!"
"What? Li Gang is seriously ill?! "
Li Er stood up in shock and asked, "I heard that Teacher Wenji only suffered some minor injuries last night. Why is he in such a critical condition now?"
Li Tai cupped his hands and said, "Teacher Wenji is already old. Even if it is a minor injury, his body can't bear it. At this moment, he is already at the end of his life! Doctor Sun can only rely on acupuncture to save Teacher Wenji's life! "
Li Er was shocked. He stood with his hands behind his back and paced on the spot. After a while, he stood still and ordered loudly, "Zhao Song!"
"Yes, father!"
Zhao Song, who had been standing quietly at the side like an invisible person, stood up and bowed to Li Er.
Li Er said in a deep voice, "Cut half of the thousand years old ginseng that I have collected and send it to Yunshan immediately!"
"… Yes, father!"
Zhao Song was slightly shocked. However, this was a decision made by Li Er after careful consideration. He couldn't say much and could only agree with it.
After that, Zhao Song slowly left the hall.
Li Tai said excitedly, "Thank you, father!"
Li Er closed his eyes and waved his hand. He sighed and said, "Wenji is not only a teacher of Yanhuang College, but also a rare treasure of Tang Empire! I don't want him to leave this world! "
The hall fell into silence. After a while, Li Er asked again,
"Does Li Zexuan know about this?"
Li Tai cupped his hands and said, "The Yamachō is currently setting up a defense line in the north to stop Wu Jie. I was afraid that if I told them about this, it would distract the Yamachō, so I didn't tell the Yamachō!"
"Yes! You did the right thing! "
Hearing this, Li Er couldn't help but nod and praise, "The most important thing right now is to keep Wu Jie here and snatch back the Academy's information. You go back and guard the telegraph. If Li Zexuan sends back any news, report it to this Emperor immediately! Once I'm done with my work, I will personally go to Yunshan tomorrow to visit Teacher Wenji! "
Li Tai bowed and said, "Yes, father! I will take my leave now! "
"Wait!"
Li Tai was about to leave when Li Er shouted again. Li Tai quickly stopped and heard Li Er say, "Qing Que, bring some guards with you when you go out in the future. Chang 'an City has not been peaceful recently!"
These words had a deeper meaning. Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but be puzzled, "Father, Chang 'an City is under the Emperor's rule. How can it not be peaceful?"
Li Er looked at him and said, "Where there is sunlight, there will be darkness. You can't go wrong by being careful!"
Li Tai didn't understand, but he still replied, "Yes! Father! "
… … …
"Imperial Teacher, the Tang Empire's Dragon Gate is not far ahead. After the Dragon Gate, we are only six hundred li away from the grasslands. I wonder if the Tang Empire's Imperial Court's arrest warrant has been sent to Jiang Province!"
On the main road to the west of Jiang Province, a black-robed man and four other warriors were hurriedly riding their horses towards the north. It was Wu Jie's group!
At this time, a warrior next to Wu Jie pointed at the impregnable pass in front of them and said.
Wu Jie frowned and said, "We will change horses along the way. Our speed will definitely be faster than the Tang Empire's messengers. The Dragon Gate is far from the Tang Empire's capital. Even if the Jiang Province's Imperial Court received the arrest warrant, they won't have enough time to dispatch troops! Of course, for safety's sake, we don't need to pay attention to the Tang Empire's army. We will just ride our horses and rush over! After rushing out of the Dragon Gate, we will continue to take the small path to avoid being discovered! "
"Imperial Teacher is wise!"
As soon as Wu Jie's voice fell, a group of licking dogs began to crazily lick his boots.
The sun set in the west, and the shadows of the few people were elongated on the ground. After a while, the sun had completely set and the sky gradually became dark.
"Shhh!"
"Wait! Stop! "
Seeing the Dragon Gate getting closer and closer, Wu Jie suddenly reined in his horse and shouted to the people next to him.
The other four people heard his voice and quickly began to rein in their horses. Finally, they stopped five steps in front of Wu Jie. Then, they hurriedly controlled their horses and returned to Wu Jie's side.
"Imperial Teacher, why aren't we going?"
A warrior asked in bewilderment.
Wu Jie looked at the Dragon Gate not far away and said with a dignified face, "It's too quiet here. I'm afraid there's a trap. Be careful! You, go ahead and explore the path! "
At the end of his words, Wu Jie pointed to a warrior next to him and said.
Although he didn't believe that the Tang Empire's army would set up a defense so quickly, his intuition told him that there might be an ambush here!
"Yes! Imperial Teacher! "
The man responded and continued to urge his warhorse to gallop towards the Dragon Gate.
"Who are you? Quickly dismount! It's so late, why did you come out? "
When the horses were still a few dozen feet away from the Dragon Gate, a general shouted.
"Shhh!"
The warrior reined in his horse and stopped not far in front of the general. He then dismounted and cupped his hands, "General, this humble one lives in Yangji Village in the north of Jiang Province. I have been helping people transport goods in the south. A few days ago, I received a letter from my family saying that my mother is seriously ill. This humble one hurriedly rushed home to see my mother for the last time. I hope the general can make it convenient for me!"
Listening to this person's accent, it was actually very standard Chinese, and there was a little bit of an accent from Chang 'an!
The general pondered for a moment and said, "Since it's urgent, for the sake of your filial piety, let's go!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and the gate of the Dragon Gate was immediately opened. The warrior quickly rode his horse and rushed to the gate.
