Chapter Twenty-Three: Long Song Seeks Medicine
"Miss Li, something happened to the master."
At night, Li Changge was about to fall asleep, when suddenly there was a knock on the window.
She knew that there must be something urgent, so she quickly asked Qi Huan to open the window and welcome people in.
Sure enough, the dark guard took out a waist card from his arms and handed it over, "Miss Li, I am the dark guard Sanqi by the master's side. The master took care of the affairs of the Jiangnan side and was about to return to Beijing, but he fainted inexplicably in the evening, and he was so hot that he couldn't get up at all. ”
Li Changge was also taken aback in his heart, and forcibly calmed himself, "But only if you are infected with the plague?" ”
Sanqi was silent for a moment, and his voice was a little heavy, "The master is with the patient every day, and he doesn't shy away from anything at all. However, Dr. Hua said that the master was not only infected with the epidemic, but also poisoned. ”
"Poisoned?" Li Changge opened his mouth in confusion, and his mind was a little swollen by the impact of this huge amount of information.
Sanqi lowered his voice and was a little sluggish, "Doctor Hua said that the poison in the master is a strange poison, which is unique only to Xishu. This poison causes a person to fall into a coma, slowly erodes the person's body over time, and eventually causes the person to die suddenly and unknowingly. ”
What a vicious heart!
"Who is so vicious to do this?" Li Changge muttered in a low voice, and there was a tremor in her voice that she couldn't believe herself, "What's the situation now, has the news been blocked?" ”
Sanqi nodded, "It's been blocked, but there is no backbone over there for the time being, so my subordinates can only come to the General's Mansion to ask you what happened." ”
Qi Huan brought a cup of tea to calm her down a little.
can understand his every move so well, and has this ability, it is hard for people to think that Tuoba Yuan.
"Go and wake up your father." Li Changge turned his head to Qi Huan and said, "I have to discuss this matter with him now, and I can't delay it." ”
Qi Huan received the order, and she instructed Sanqi to push her wheelchair and walk out.
By the time he arrived at the study, Li Ke was already sitting at the table, his face full of exhaustion.
"Daddy, I have something urgent to say." As soon as Li Changge entered the door, he didn't make any tricks, and told the story from beginning to end without letting go of any detail.
After Li Ke heard this, the alarm bell sounded in his heart, "Who dares to be so rampant, murdering the prince is a capital crime!" ”
She knew that her father was easily impulsive, so she began to follow the temptation, "Daddy, think about it, in the huge capital, who is the person who wants to defeat him the most and sit on the throne now?" ”
"The Fourth Prince, Tuoba Yuan." Li Ke said without hesitation.
Although he didn't know when his daughter and Tuoba Truss were so close, he always treated her sincerely.
Now that something like this has happened, how can he be relieved?
Li Changge paused slightly, raised his head and said, "No matter what, you have to hide it for a while, the affairs in Jiangnan have just improved, and he will fall ill over there." Without the backbone, it will definitely be a mess, and the other party's intention is to worsen the situation, so that he has no way to make this great contribution in front of the emperor. ”
"So what do you mean now?"
Li Ke's voice was tinged with a hint of melancholy, and he instinctively didn't want his daughter to take this risk.
As he expected, Li Changge's voice was sonorous and powerful, "The best way is that I will leave for Jiangnan immediately tomorrow to personally investigate the ins and outs of this matter." ”
Li Ke knew that he couldn't resist her, and the only solution was in front of him, so he had to do it.
"But if you leave the house this time, you will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, so what?"
Li Changge smiled on his face, "This depends on Daddy's cooperation." ”
stems from the blood relationship in her bones, and almost at that moment, Li Ke understood her thoughts.
Since we have been involved in these things, it is inevitable that we will have to bear the corresponding responsibility.
"Be careful on all the roads, I will transfer all the elite troops around you to you, and you must ensure your own safety."
Li Changge nodded vigorously, his voice was as solid as a rock, "It will definitely be, Daddy has to be more careful of himself in Beijing." Hidden arrows hurt people, try not to go out if you can. ”
Father and daughter talked for a while, and by the time she got back into the house, it was midnight.
After working for a while, I finally finished packing my things.
simply didn't do anything, Li Changge took Qihuan and Sanqi and set off to Jiangnan overnight.
The carriage was a little bumpy along the way, and she leaned back in her seat and slept grogily, always dreaming restlessly.
Layers of cold sweat appeared on his body, sticky and clinging to his body.
reminded me of the tragic pictures of my previous life, the appearance of my father's innocent and tragic death, replaying scene by scene in front of her eyes.
Half-asleep for a moment, she opened her eyes.
Fortunately, all this is a dream, and she must live well.
"Are you sure you're going to be foolproof about what I've asked you to do?" Li Changge took a deep breath, calmed down again, closed his eyes and asked.
Qi Huan nodded, "Reliable people have been arranged around the general, and any movement will be communicated to us, so Miss can rest assured." ”
Her brain felt like an iron thorn piercing through it, and the pain was a little numb.
It hadn't been long since she had just been reborn, and so many things had already happened that she didn't have time to guard against.
Every step forward is a risk, and she can only deal with it with the spirit of twelve.
"Sanqi, tell me about the specific situation in Jiangnan." Li Changge's gaze was as sharp as a blade in an instant, and the words that came out between his lips and teeth did not have the slightest warmth.
Sanqi's expression was a little tangled, and she was completely looked at it.
Li Changge knew in his heart, it seemed that he still had something to hide from him, "If you don't tell me everything from beginning to end, I will immediately return the same way I came, and I don't have to worry about anything about your master." ”
As soon as these words came out, he had to reply stiffly, "Actually, Dr. Hua has found a solution, but there is still a lack of flavor in the medicine primer." ”
Yes, Li Changge was now irritable and just wanted to scold, "What kind of medicinal herbs are missing, is it possible that there are no such medicinal herbs in the palace?" ”
Sanqi's heart is also very broken, "Doctor Hua said, this kind of medicinal herb can only be found in Xishu, and it has to be made up of the right time and place. Not only is it extremely scarce, but the journey to Xishu is also very difficult. ”
It seems that Tuoba Yuan was ruthless this time and made up his mind not to let him live.
"Did Dr. Hua say where the specific location is?" Li Changge suppressed the helplessness in his heart and asked slowly.
Sanqi took out a piece of cloth from his breast pocket, and Dr. Hua had already completely marked the specific growth place of the herb on it.
It turned out to be the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
Snow lotus is mostly distributed in alpine areas, such as the rock crevices near the snow line.
It's not that there is nothing in the palace, but what Dr. Hua wants is a fresh snow lotus.
This means that Li Changge and the others have to go to the snow mountain to look for it.
It is already extremely difficult for ordinary people to find her, let alone according to her physical condition......
Li Changge took a deep breath, "One road doesn't work, then let's go another way." There will be warriors under the heavy money, and as long as the price we offer is reasonable enough, there will definitely be people who dare to take the risk of picking. ”
"But ......"
Sanqi's heart was a little hesitant.
He now regretted telling Li Changge about it.
If there was another way, he wouldn't have taken such a risk.
But now that his master is lying on the bed, life and death are uncertain, and this can only be the case.
Now that there is a solution, Li Changge did not rush to Jiangnan first, but asked Sanqi to directly change his route to Xishu.
Along the way, I slept in the open air, hurried and hurried, and finally arrived in Xishu within two days.
In a remote town, Li Changge bought three sets of men's clothing.
"Since we came incognito and kept a low profile, we can't reveal our identities. From now on, my name is Li Chang, my family is in the rice and grain business, because my father has a rare disease, I need to come to ask for medicine, you can just call me son. In order to avoid too much trouble, it is more convenient to wear men's clothes. ”
Li Changge originally looked very cold, and wearing a beige robe, it actually set off her unapproachable fireworks aura even more obviously.
The night was bleak, and there was a dark atmosphere.
Although she has been outside the frontier all the year round, the environment of Xishu is different.
Outside the window, there are endless mountains, and in the night, it looks more like the shoulders of giants shrugging up, which makes people feel very desolate.
Li Changge faintly retracted his thoughts.
Even though she has been a human being for two lifetimes, it is the first time she has gone away like this.
In her previous life, she had been imprisoned by all kinds of rhetoric, and she knew nothing about the outside world.
The only thing he knew was what he wanted her to know.
Since God has given her a chance to live a new life, she must not give up.
The long night seemed to be spent in such complex emotions.
Li Changge was so worried that he didn't sleep all night, and Qihuan, who was waiting outside the door, didn't sleep all night.
"Childe, I've already inquired. We are currently in the realm of Xisha, as long as we go a short distance, we can reach Xishu. ”
Sanqi entered through the window at the beginning of the day, covered with the smell of dust.
Li Changge immediately instructed the little servants and brought them some breakfast.
"You eat something first, don't wear yourself out for these things."
Sanqi grinned a weak smile, "The subordinates are fine, and the son doesn't have to worry." As long as the master is okay, that's the best thing.
As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion outside the door.
Li Changge gave a look, and Sanqi tentatively opened the door and watched.
Unexpectedly, a white figure came to him.
