"Maybe it's because of the trouble Tao Kanglai of Jin Weiguo caused?"
The butler guessed.
Tao Kanglai's intention to assassinate Li Juncheng, the second prince of Jinwei Kingdom, spread the news within two days, and even heard about it in Ronghe Prefecture.
"Absolutely." Ruan Zhiheng put down the tea cup in his hand, "It's just that Lu Qiyan said in the letter that he occasionally caught wind and cold due to a heavy snowfall, and now he is very ill. He wanted to rest for a few days when he passed here..."
"I really didn't know what kind of medicine Lu Qiyan was selling in this gourd."
After all, there is another troublesome person living in Ronghe City.
"No matter what kind of gourd or medicine it is, as long as it passes through our Ronghe Prefecture, there is no need to worry." The housekeeper said with a smile.
This was said a bit arrogantly.
But Ruan Zhiheng liked to listen very much.
After all, he is not the kind of person who works alone in the court. The forces behind him, whether it is the troublesome figure or the new commander of the Western Frontier Army, Lu Qiyan, are existences that cannot be offended.
Since they are so willing to stay in Ronghe Fucheng, then let them come.
The soldiers came to cover up the water and earth, and they also took a good look at Lu Qiyan to explore the current situation of the Western Frontier Army for the Wen family to see if it could be used by the Wen family.
Ruan Zhiheng thought for a long time and then opened his mouth and said, "There are many people from the Jinwei Kingdom in this peace negotiation delegation. It is very inconvenient to live in the city. There is a Zhuangzi outside the city, which is the residence of a businessman named Cao. This person has thought many times He tried to find my way but to no avail, so I gave him such a good opportunity to perform.”
The businessman named Cao he was talking about was a businessman selling spices. His full name was Cao Xingwang.
From working as a waiter in a spice shop in his teens to becoming a wealthy businessman in his twenties, his ability is evident.
Although Cao Xingwang was wealthy, he was born in mud and had to flee from poverty when he was young. He had no family to help him, so the large amount of money he held in his hands made him a coveted fat sheep.
Cao Xingwang wanted to seek asylum and more money, so he turned to Ruan Zhiheng.
Coins, spices, treasures...
Countless and worth thousands of gold.
This made Ruan Zhiheng a little moved, but he also wanted to see more of Cao Xingwang's attitude.
As for Lu Qiyan and his party being placed here, if anything happens, they have little to do with him and Ruan Zhiheng, and it will be very easy to escape.
"Yes." The butler responded, "Old slave, I'll tell someone right now."
"Also, isn't Lu Qiyan seriously ill with wind and cold? You can hire a few doctors with good medical skills to diagnose and treat Commander Lu." Ruan Zhiheng added.
"Yes."
The butler agreed again.
The news that the place to receive the peace delegation was placed at Cao's residence outside Ronghe Prefecture was quickly sent back to Lu Qiyan, and someone was even sent to meet and guide the way.
Lu Qiyan and others followed, and after half a day's work, they arrived at the Cao family residence. The house was more spacious than Lu Qiyan imagined. It was just a garden next to the house that was used to entertain guests, so the whole group could be accommodated.
And in this garden, there are pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, ponds and gardens, small bridges and flowing water... everything is available.
Even so, Cao Xingwang was still very uneasy, "The house is humble and simple, so I feel sorry for you to make do with it here. If there is any improper hospitality, please forgive me."
Lu Qiyan claimed to be ill, and now Xia Yunji was the one to deal with everything, "Cao Langjun is too polite, but we came here rashly, too much trouble..."
"Commander Xia's words are serious." Cao Xingwang was frightened and bowed lower and lower.
Seeing that Cao Xingwang was an unworthy businessman, Yin Zhizhou, who was sent by Ruan Zhiheng to supervise the matter, rolled his eyes and said, "Go down first. The two commanders from Lu have orders here and will tell people to pass them on."
"Yes." Cao Xingwang saluted again and stepped back somewhat uneasily.
Yin Zhizhou pretended to hold his fists, "Originally Lord Ruan wanted to come in person. However, he was busy with official duties and couldn't get away. He only sent a low-ranking official to come and be at the disposal of Commander Lu and Commander Xia at any time."
"Thank you, Master Yin." Xia Yunji replied politely.
"Hearing that Commander Lu was infected with wind-cold, Lord Ruan was deeply concerned. He specially asked his subordinates to invite several highly respected doctors with excellent medical skills in Ronghe Mansion to diagnose and treat Commander Lu. He hopes that Commander Lu can recover as soon as possible."
Yin Zhizhou said, "Why don't you go and treat Commander Lu now? I would like to pay a visit to Commander Lu for Sir Ruan."
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
"This..." Xia Yunji hesitated immediately.
After all, Lu Qiyan's so-called cold was just an excuse. If he really asked the doctor to go to see him...
Yin Zhizhou immediately caught the hesitation on Xia Yunji's face, immediately became energetic, and deliberately asked loudly, "Commander Xia, do you think there is any inconvenience?"
When I got cold, I was reluctant to see a doctor at home. The reason was obvious.
Zhuang Cui came over at this time and whispered in Xia Yunji's ear.
After hearing this, Xia Yunji raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at Yin Zhizhou, "It's nothing inconvenient. It's just that Commander Lu just took medicine and fell asleep. I was worried that going to the doctor at this time would disturb him, but someone came to report , it is said that Commander Lu has woken up now. If Yin Zhizhou wants the doctor to see him, then go ahead.”
Seeing Xia Yunji's attitude change drastically in an instant, Yin Zhizhou was a little unsure about what happened. But since he could go see Lu Qiyan now, he naturally did not give up this opportunity and just followed Xia Yunji there. Lu Qiyan left for the courtyard and house where he rested.
At this time, Lu Qiyan was sitting and lying on the bed. He looked a little lethargic, his face was a little red, and there was a soaked handkerchief on his forehead, as if he was using ice to cool down the fever.
Xia Mingyue took care of it, taking a handkerchief and soaking it in the warm water in the basin, and then wiped the sides of Lu Qiyan's neck and the palms of his hands.
"Sister, how is your brother-in-law?" Xia Yunji asked deliberately.
Xia Mingyue sighed, her voice sounding anxious and sad, "I've just drank the decoction, but the fever still doesn't go away. It's probably because the doctor accompanying the army has poor medical skills. I think you'd better go outside and hire a doctor as soon as possible." It would be better to give Qiyan a look.”
High fever persists?
Xia Yunji was a little confused and tentatively stretched out his hand to touch Lu Qiyan's forehead.
Xia Yunji was shocked by the astonishing hot feeling. He didn't understand how Lu Qiyan, who was fine just now, could get a high fever just by talking about high fever. However, when he noticed Lu Qiyan winking at him, he hurriedly put away his surprised thoughts and frowned. frowned. (End of chapter)
