Chapter 44: Healing Zuo Liangyu
There is no airtight wall in the world. Old Master Fang has long known about the misfortune between Fang Chenglong and Chen Yuanyuan. Chen Yuanyuan is the number one beauty with the name of Tian. Whoever encounters who is unlucky will not be able to do anything. Even if the immortal is a matchmaker, it is just a blind man who lights the lights in vain.
Liu Yan left in shame. His face was not good. He could not hold the knife on the neck of the old man of the Fang family and force him to nod. He could not let the third young master cut off relations with his family for a woman. This matter could only be put aside. Fortunately, Fang Chenglong and Chen Yuanyuan did not take this matter seriously at first, and it was not a big expectation that it had nothing to do with disappointment.
...
Wu Sangui was awarded the title of head, which shocked the entire Central Plains. The morale of the Hongguang court of the Southern Ming Dynasty was boosted, as if he had a shot of a heart-warming agent. The Han people in the occupied areas of the Qing Dynasty were also encouraged. Many Ming troops who rebeled and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty again. Wars were everywhere. Duoduo, who should have been drinking horses and Yanziji, had to divide his troops to suppress them, and they lost sight of the other.
Guanning iron cavalry had no leader, some were incorporated by the Qing army, some were surrendered to nearby Han armed forces, some were directly defeated as bandits, and the trees fell and money scattered. During the Kangxi period, the Three Feudal Rebellion was extinguished before it even appeared.
As for whom Wu Sangui died, everyone's answer is the same. In the forbidden city of Origawa, whoever touched him died, first it was Liu Liangzuo, then Gao Jie, and now it was Wu Sangui. Duoduo just approached the surrounding area of Origawa, and the camp caught fire and lost a lot of food and grass. Why, Origawa is surrounded by immortals, the immortal surname is Liu, who was originally the Zhijinwu next to the Jade Emperor of Heaven. He violated the Heavenly Rules and Betrayed the earth. He only received favors from the people of Origawa before becoming an immortal, so he killed Liu Gao and Wu. In this way, he had a nose and eyes. Even the time when the immortal became an immortal and ascended to heaven was calculated. It should be the early years of the Song Dynasty...
Liu Yanzhi's reputation spread quickly, which brought a lot of convenience. The warlords and bandits around the Anjiang River all walked around and did not dare to enter within a hundred miles. The Anjiang River was safe. The people who traveled through the group could make time to go to Wudang Mountain to find the Dragon Ball.
The task was quite arduous. In the late Ming Dynasty, the war was in chaos, and too many people went, causing chaos. So Guan Lu stayed and handed it over to Fang Chenglong for care. Liu Yanzhi borrowed five river boats with the governor, one hundred sailors, artillery, armor, bows and crossbows, and had enough food. He rode along the river and headed straight to Hubei.
At this time, Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong's army were still in a confrontation on the Yangtze River. The official ship of Okinawa Mansion was planted with a red flag, with the main hall of the governor of Okinawa, and there was another big apricot and yellow flag embroidered with the word Liu embroidered in it. Five ships were traversing the waves through the east wind and were about to meet Huang Degong's navy. The other party saw the flag from afar, hurriedly covered the cannon suit, treated him with courtesy, and sent the official ship of Okinawa Mansion to leave the controlled waters.
"Huang Degong is a wise man." The Party Patriotic Road, "Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie and him are the generals of the four towns in Jiangbei. How did they die? Old Huang is as clear as a mirror in his heart."
After passing the area controlled by Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu's navy was ahead. The river surface was wide and covered with the Zuo Army Navy warships. The Ming army's warships were small tonnage and poor equipment. Only a small cannon was installed on the bow and stern of the ship. The soldiers on the ship used muskets and crossbows to attack the enemy. Liu Yanzhi and others made a good argument and talked about the gap between Zheng Chenggong's navy at the same time, the Dutch Navy entrenched in Taiwan and the Ming Yangtze River Navy.
"A Dutch warship can fight all Zuo Liangyu's navy one-on-one." Party Patriotic Road.
Suddenly, flags were uttered on the left army's warship, and the sailors here came to report that the other party had signaled to stop the flight.
The atmosphere became tense, and Liu Yanzhi ordered preparations for war. These five official ships were not warships, but ordinary civilian ships, and had few troops. If they fought for one round, the entire army would be destroyed.
A ship from the Zuojun drove over, and a general on the bow asked loudly: "But is a ship coming from Oeme Prefecture?"
There was a loud voice here and said, "That's right!"
The war general said, "Is the famous exiled immortal Liu Yanzhi on the ship?"
Here he replied: "How could the name of the immortal be called casually?"
The general hurriedly apologized: "I will be reckless and ask for forgiveness. My left governor has invited the immortal to cross the boat and I hope to agree."
Liu Yanzhi whispered: "Zuo Liangyu is not good anymore. She is in a hurry to seek medical treatment. I'll go there, otherwise they won't give up."
"Adap the situation." Dang Maiguo nodded.
Liu Yanzhi left the cabin, still dressed as a scholar with a straight body in a square scarf. He also pinched a folding fan in his hand, kicked his feet, soared into the air, flew more than ten feet away, and landed steadily on the bow of the other party's ship. This hand shocked all the witnesses on the river. His true immortal style was definitely not the kind of wild fox Zen pretending to be a ghost.
The flagship of the Zuojun is a huge giant ship with horse racing on the deck. Liu Yanzhi was invited into the cabin. The cabin was full of military generals, and an old man lying on the bed was lying. It was without any questions that he knew that it was the largest warlord in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Zuo Liangyu, who raised troops to clear the king's side.
Liu Yanzhi was famous and the left military generals were respectful to him. They knelt down together, and then presented a thousand taels of gold and asked the immortal to save the life of the Zuo Dashen.
"Let me see." Liu Yan didn't even look at the gold ingots. He stepped forward and put Zuo Liangyu's wrist, squinted his eyes slightly to take the pulse carefully. The generals concentrated and held their breath, looking forward to the immortal's diagnosis.
Liu Yanzhi is not a Chinese medicine doctor, but he can find that Zuo Liangyu's pulse is very weak and messy. According to historical records, Zuo Liangyu died in March 1645, which is recently. He must have been terminally ill and has no way to save him.
Of course, I can't say that. After Liu Yanzhi finished his pulse, he shook his head and sighed. The hearts of the generals were hanging. Zuo Liangyu's old face was calm. I guess the general who was used to life and death had already taken everything lightly.
"Master Zuo is very sick." Liu Yan said straight, "But it's not helpless. Who told you to meet me? I'll go to heaven to steal some elixirs, but I have a condition."
"Not to mention one condition, even one thousand or ten thousand, we agree." The generals said in unison.
Liu Yan said straight: "Just one condition, stop the troops and return to Wuchang."
The cabin was suddenly silent, and the generals looked at each other. Clearing the emperor was their important political proposition and military purpose. How could the army be dispatched to give up halfway?
After a while, Zuo Liangyu said, "I promised you."
Liu Yan said straight: "Shuo Shuai comes out and see how I get the medicine."
Zuo Liangyu, who was seriously ill, was put on the deck by his personal soldiers. Liu Yan jumped into the air and flew higher and higher. His figure turned into a small black dot and disappeared into the clouds. Zuo Liangyu's old eyes were dizzy and he was stunned. He had fought for many years and had never seen any stranger before. Those who cheated were absolutely able to see through it at first sight. Today's immortal is absolutely real.
After a stick of incense, Liu Yanzhi came down from the clouds, holding a crystal clear ice bead in his hand, which made people melt with rootless water and gave Zuo Liangyu a dose of water.
"If you take the elixir, you can live for one year, but if you do something without any help, you will have no medicine." Liu Yanzhi explained, "Except for fighting with the Tartars, the more Tartars you kill, the better the medicine."
Zuo Liangyu believed it without doubt, and his waist was erect. He actually suffered from cancer, which was absolutely incurable. However, before the late stage, all the organs had not completely failed. As long as he was in a good mood, he would have no problem dying for a while.
"I have something to do, say goodbye." Liu Yanzhi bowed his hand and said goodbye. Zuo Liangyu waved his hand, and his personal soldiers presented the gold again.
"Does Marshal Zuo think that the yellow and white things are meaningful to me?" Liu Yan smiled.
Zuo Liangyu thought for a while and someone brought a gold-toothed flag to come over and said, "Holding this flag is like I'm here in Hubei and Jiangxi."
Liu Yan accepted the gift, took care of it, flew back to the Omi official ship, continued northward, and the left army fired cannons to pay tribute.
With Zuo Liangyu's tooth flag inserted at the bow of the ship, the boat was even more unobstructed and he encountered no difficulties along the way. After entering Hubei, Liu Yanzhi left some people to guard the ship and brought 80 soldiers into Wudang Mountain to look for dragon balls.
Wudang Mountain is very large, and finding a cave is like looking for a needle in a haystack. A small team entered a small local village. They were wearing Ming army uniforms, with red tassels and helmets on the top and wide sides, cloth armor with copper nails, swords on their waists, crossbows and muskets on their backs. They were frightened by the villagers and fled everywhere. Some young people even took hatches and hoes to resist.
The villagers were terrified for reasons. Nowadays, bandits are rampant. When bandits come, they rob grain and women. The same goes for officers and soldiers. Even more ruthless than bandits. However, this time they wrongly accused good people.
Liu Yanzhi shouted: "Don't be afraid, fellow villagers, we are not officers and soldiers, but medicinal materials merchants. Wearing armor also means to protect ourselves."
The villagers were skeptical, and Liu Yanzhi took out a lot of copper coins and said, "Buy some dry food, hire a guide, and we'll leave now."
The elders in the village came to greet these uninvited guests, and the Dang Paiguo came forward to negotiate. His gentle scholars were very deceptive. The kind villagers believed that this group of people were not robbers, so they sold some medicinal materials and grain to them. Liu Yanzhi also took out the exquisite pastries brought by Omi to fool the young children in the village in exchange for favor.
These measures were extremely effective and the atmosphere was quickly eased. When Liu Yanzhi saw the young man in the village drooling as he looked at the muskets, he said, "The muskets are either sold."
The musket is a powerful weapon that can penetrate heavy armor. With several muskets in hand, the bandits have to consider it carefully. The elders in the village make the decision: "Buy, how many guan?"
Liu Yan said straight: "No one penny, I'll give you five muskets for free. Just tell me who has seen this thing." He said that, and took out a photo of the dragon ball.
The villagers passed it over to each other, and finally a lame old man said he had seen it.
"This thing is in a cave, and there are bones everywhere in the cave." said the old man.
"Give them five muskets." Liu Yan said straight, "Old man, take us to find this cave, and I will give you another hundred taels of silver."
One hundred taels of silver are enough for the annual GDP of this small village. The villagers are happy and the lame old man naturally has no choice but to do so.
The team led by five local guides set out again, walked in Wudang Mountain for three days, and finally found an extremely hidden cave.
Liu Yanzhi was in front, Dang Aiguo and Ji Yugan followed closely. They walked into the cave. Under the torch, the cave was covered with bones, and in the center was a long-standing dragon ball.
And they all witnessed this scene with their own eyes, but at that time they were the audience and now they were the protagonists.
