Ah Qiu nodded obediently, at this time, the servant woman came in with a bucket of hot water, Liu Yuzhen also walked in, Guo Song hurriedly saluted, Liu Yuzhen stroked his beard and smiled: "It seems that the recovery is good!" ”

"Thanks to Imperial Doctor Liu's medicine!"

Liu Yuzhen sat down to re-diagnose Ah Qiu's pulse, and looked at the tongue coating again, he groaned, got up and said to Guo Song: "This little lady has some hidden diseases, it should be brought from the mother's womb, fortunately, she is not very old, and she can be treated, take this opportunity, I will cure her together." ”

Guo Song was overjoyed, "Then thank you Imperial Doctor Liu!" ”

"What are you going to do with her?" Liu Yuzhen asked again.

"Please ask Huichun Hall to take care of her for two days, I will pick her up the day after tomorrow, in addition, I have two attendants who will protect her safety, please forgive Imperial Doctor Liu!"

"It's understandable, this is the rule of a wealthy family, I can provide a room for your entourage to live in, and I won't care about eating."

After Liu Yuzhen finished speaking, he said to the servant woman: "You will be responsible for taking good care of this little lady for the past two days." ”

The servant woman hurriedly agreed, and Liu Yuzhen gave a few more instructions before leaving.

Guo Song washed his face, and at this time Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu also came back, he finished breakfast, and saw that Ah Qiu also drank porridge, and his complexion was much better.

He held Ah Qiu's hand and said with a smile: "I'm going back first, Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu stayed to protect your safety, I gave her silver for this servant, you can call her, recuperate with peace of mind, and my wife and I will pick you up the day after tomorrow." ”

Ah Qiu nodded and put Guo Song's hand on his face, "Childe, be careful yourself!" ”

Guo Song lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and when he saw her shyly hiding under the quilt, he laughed, got up and walked out of the door.

"I'm leaving, Aqiu's safety will be handed over to the two of you, and I will have a heavy reward when I turn back!"

"Don't worry, the governor will be foolproof."

Guo Song took the horse and turned over on the horse, he thought about it, but decided not to visit Zhang Guangsheng, this was his private matter after all, he urged the war horse and galloped away outside the city.

.........

The baggage team is stationed on the bank of the Qingshui River, and it will rest for a day today and set off early tomorrow morning.

Xue Tao was very worried, she was afraid that Ah Qiu would not survive this catastrophe, although Ah Qiu had not followed her for a long time, less than a year, but she loved this temperament and herself quite like a little lady, sympathized with her life experience, and gradually regarded her as her sister.

Xue Tao also knew that Ah Qiu was facing a life-and-death crisis, and many children like her who were infected by wind and cold eventually died without timely treatment, would Ah Qiu also have the same fate?

For a whole day and a night, Xue Tao spent it in fear, and even dreamed that Ah Qiu was crying to himself for help, and he saw her being captured by several black men, which made Xue Tao wake up from the nightmare all at once.

"Madam, Ah Qiu will be fine, Childe also knows a little bit of medical skills, he will definitely save Ah Qiu back." Xiao Yu Niang comforted Xue Tao and said.

"I know!"

Xue Tao sighed, "It's all my fault, she obviously fell ill, I thought she was too tired, let her take medicine earlier, she wouldn't be in danger." ”

No matter how Xiao Yuniang persuaded her, the self-blame in Xue Tao's heart was always difficult to let go.

At dusk, someone suddenly shouted, "The Governor is back!" ”

Xue Tao was in good spirits, and hurriedly stepped out of the carriage to meet him, only to see her husband galloping on horseback, and the fierce son hovered above his head.

Xue Tao's heart fluttered suddenly, she wanted to know the news, but she was afraid to hear the unfortunate news.

Guo Song ran to her and restrained the war horse, turned over and dismounted and said with a smile: "It's good news, it's saved!" ”

Xue Tao suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and shook his smile: "I'm going to worry about death!" ”

Guo Song hugged his wife into his arms, let go of her and said: "Ah Qiu is indeed very dangerous, thanks to the famous doctor, the medicine used is symptomatic, her body temperature is back to normal now, she needs to take medicine for two more days to recuperate, I let Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu guard her safety, the day after tomorrow when you see her, you should be safe." ”

"So we're leaving tomorrow?"

"We will leave early tomorrow morning and arrive in Guzang County the day after tomorrow."

"Husband, you're hungry!" Xue Tao suddenly realized that her husband must have not eaten lunch or dinner.

"I'm a little hungry, if you have anything to eat, just come and have a little bit."

"There are boiled meatloaf, and millet porridge, which is reserved for you."

Xue Tao walked back with her husband and announced to everyone that Ah Qiu was safe and sound, and everyone applauded with joy.

Guo Song sat down, Xiao Yuniang brought him food, and brought a pot of wine, Guo Song was really hungry, rolled up the meatloaf and chewed it.

.........

Guo Song immediately arranged military affairs and ordered the army to be on guard on the periphery to prevent wolves from sneaking up at night.

After a day's rest, although exhausted, everyone's spirit was obviously much better, and the team began to talk and laugh again, and continued to march westward.

After entering the Hexi Corridor, the speed of the march began to increase, and after another day and a half of trekking, at noon, the brigade gradually arrived in Guzang County.

Less than five miles away from the county seat, Zhang Guangsheng, the governor of Liangzhou, personally came out to welcome Guo Song's arrival, although it was only a transit, but Guo Song also brought him 5,000 pairs of soldiers, and this favor was very great.

Guo Song asked the soldiers to set up a temporary tent, and asked Zhang Qianyi and the Liangzhou officials to hand over the armor materials, and he invited Zhang Guangsheng to sit in the big tent.

Zhang Guangsheng is about fifty years old, tall, strong in martial arts, he is a legend in the Tang Dynasty, has saved Wang Sili and Xin Yunjing, and later served as the governor of Daizhou, last year's massacre case made him famous again, although the massacre of diplomatic envoys is a stain in politics, but the Tang Dynasty all regard Zhang Guangsheng as a hero, he killed a group of heinous devils, even the son of heaven Li Yu did not blame him, but transferred him to Liangzhou to continue to serve as the governor.

Guo Song let the soldiers serve tea, and Zhang Guangsheng took a sip of tea and said: "Ganzhou is under a lot of pressure this year!" Shatuo has increased his troops to 30,000 in Suzhou last year, and he is determined to win Ganzhou, if it weren't for the strong and tall Zhangye City, Ganzhou was captured last autumn, so that you will face a mess when you go to Ganzhou! ”

"Is it that serious?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

"The Ganzhou army lost three times in a row last summer, resulting in unstable military morale, discouraged people, prices in the city are also soaring, many Zhangye people and businessmen have fled to Liangzhou, I twice sent a letter to the Son of Heaven, asking for a change of commander and strengthening the defense of Ganzhou, no way, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if Ganzhou is lost, Liangzhou will be in danger, Guo Dudu can be said to be in danger this time, if you need help from Liangzhou, although you need someone to tell me, I will try my best to help, I hope the two of us work together to keep the last barrier on the Hexi corridor."

Seeing that his attitude was sincere, Guo Song stretched out his hand and shook him tightly, "The responsibility of defending the land is shared with the envoy, and the reputation of opening up the territory is also willing to be shared with the envoy!" ”

........

Zhang Guangsheng led the soldiers to escort a hundred ox carts away, Guo Song kept watching him go away, at this time, Yang Jun and Zhao Xiu stepped forward and hugged their fists and said: "Miss Aqiu has returned, I hereby give orders to the governor!" ”

Guo Song was overjoyed and patted them on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

He walked quickly to Xue Tao's carriage and saw a red and smiling face, and Ah Qiu was healthy again.

"Looks like he's fully recovered!" Guo Song stepped forward and said with a smile.

Ah Qiu was a little embarrassed, and Xue Tao knocked Ah Qiu on the head, "I found that this little girl seems to be better than before she got sick." ”

"It should be that Imperial Doctor Liu's medicine is good, and he said that it can cure some of Aqiu's hidden diseases."

Ah Qiu whispered: "Childe, Doctor Liu is also here." ”

Guo Song was stunned, "Where are the others?" ”

"It seems that some old people and children are being treated in the back."

Ah Qiu said a little apologetically: "I accidentally leaked my mouth and told him the identity of my son." ”

Guo Song smiled, "So he came to the free clinic?" ”

When he came to the back, he saw that Liu Yuzhen was prescribing medicine to more than a dozen children, Guo Song smiled slightly: "They don't have a big problem!" ”

Liu Yuzhen's old face turned red, "Guo Dudu, the villain is rude." ”

"You're welcome, I'm seeking medical treatment from you in a private capacity, and it has nothing to do with official positions."

"But I received such a high consultation fee from Guo Dudu, hey!"

"That's as it should be, you saved Ah Qiu, how can I not thank you."

Guo Song waved his hand again, "Don't talk about this, how about these old people and children?" ”

"It shouldn't be a big problem, the medicine prescribed by the military doctor is very symptomatic, as long as you have a good rest and food, you can recover, I brought some medicine, just for them to use."

After a pause, he said: "Miss Aqiu is different, she has a hidden disease, and she has a problem with her lungs, so the condition is much more serious than theirs, fortunately, Guo Dudu arrived in time, and it will be hopeless if it takes a little longer." ”

"Can her hidden illness be cured?" Guo Song asked with concern.

"I prescribed her a prescription, and after drinking the medicine for half a year, she should be cured, mainly because she is still young, and there is still the possibility of cure, and it will be difficult after the age of twenty."

Guo Song nodded happily and said: "Ganzhou also needs a pharmacy, and I welcome Huichun Tang to open a branch in Ganzhou!" ”

Liu Yuzhen was even more embarrassed, and said for a while: "Huichun Hall has a branch in Zhangye!" I also hope that Governor Guo will take care of it. ”

Guo Song laughed, "Okay! I'll be sure to take care of it. ”
