The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

Xuanbei City.

The leader of Nanping City, Yi Xiang, was not mistreated in any way after being captured. When Xing Ji appeared, he had already regained his composure.

"Who provided you with the explosives?" Xing Ji went straight to the point without any nonsense.

Yi 𫖯 looked at Xing Ji coldly, snorted softly, and turned his head to look at the arborvitae outside the window.

It is now late March, and Xuanbei City is not far from Nanping City. However, the ancient trees here have sprouted tender green shoots, while the same trees in Nanping City are still only dull dark green and gray.

Liangguo has just survived another long winter, but the hoped-for spring has not yet arrived. In the winter that just passed, Yi's first grandson died not long after he was born. Even if he holds a high position in the Liang Kingdom and the Yi family can hire the best doctors in the palace, it will not help.

Now Yi 𫖯 still remembers that when he first heard the bad news, the only thought he had in his heart was: If he could seek help from the miracle doctor Su Liang in time, would the outcome be different?

However, Su Liang is a miracle doctor, but not a miracle doctor from the Liang Kingdom.

There is an invisible chasm between Nanping City and Xuanbei City, which are not far away. The temple named Heian Temple always felt full of irony during the war, as if the Buddha was watching the stupid people kill each other with cold eyes.

Yi 𫖯 was immersed in his own thoughts, and suddenly thought of Peng Wei again. Perhaps, someone in Nanping City would exchange Peng Wei for him. Xing Ji would definitely agree, and Peng Wei would be fine.

But immediately, Yi 𫖯 felt that he was in a daze. Peng Wei made no mistakes, he was not a sinner, and he had made many more military exploits than him. Why should he be exchanged for him? Who dares to treat Peng Wei like that? Unless Peng Wei came to negotiate on his own, but thinking about the strange words he said to Peng Wei for the last time, Yi Wei felt that he was really dreaming.

Xing Ji watched Yi 𫖯 staring blankly at the trees outside, and did not urge him to answer the question just now. The two were similar in age and had fought against each other in the early years. If Yi was chosen by Situ Xie to be the general, he was naturally talented. As for his personality, according to Xing Ji's understanding, he is not an impulsive and irritable person.

After a long silence, Yi Jian looked at Xing Ji and shook his head calmly, "I don't know who that person is. Everything is just following the emperor's orders. I think you probably know the so-called Lord better than I do." Maybe he is with you? Am I right?"

"How can you see it?" Xing Ji asked.

Yi 𫖯 sighed, "Using such a person to encourage the emperor to send troops to attack Qian State, morally speaking, Liang State is not justified. When the right time comes, it was yesterday, let the situation be reversed, he disappears, you counterattack, it is only natural and right . Qian Guo has always been like this, and he likes these grandiose styles the most. "

"Without that person, would Liang Kingdom be content with the status quo? There has never been a war initiated by Qian Kingdom." Xing Ji asked.

Yi 𫖯 was silent again, and after a while he snorted coldly, "Why do all the good places and good things belong to you, and we have nothing, and we deserve to live a hard life? You were born in a noble family, and everything goes smoothly. You have everything you want, descendants." We all live a life of superiority, how can we understand how difficult it is for people in Liang to stay alive? I was born in a commoner's family and suffered from hunger and cold since I was a child. I almost didn't survive it several times. I heard that you have a grandson. , Doctor Su personally delivered the baby, but my grandson died right after he was born. You don’t know what despair is, so don’t accuse Liang of starting a war. Even if we lose, I will not regret it, and I will not betray the country. Seeking glory."

After saying that, Yi 𫖯 closed his eyes. Those words were hidden deep in his heart. For the first time in his life, he said them to Xing Ji, which made him feel a little ridiculous.

But there was one thing he didn't say: he was able to get ahead in Liang Kingdom not only because he worked hard enough, but also because he was lucky enough to meet a noble person, and that noble person was Peng Wei. Without Peng Wei's support and cultivation, no matter how hard he works, it will be useless. He couldn't say it because just now, he suddenly realized that he had also changed. Peng Wei was his teacher and benefactor. He actually treated him with that attitude the day before. It was just because their status was different. …

Realizing this, Yi 𫖯 felt a little guilty before Xing Ji responded to his remarks. When he accused Xing Ji of having a smooth life and not understanding the sufferings of the Liang people, he himself had forgotten his original intention under the erosion of power.

Xing Ji spoke, not mocking Yi Jian, but asked him calmly, "Do you really think you are seeking a better life for the people of Liang Kingdom? Situ Xie also launched the war for the people? Do you think it is unfair? , because Qian State and Yan State have better areas, so what if Liang State wins? Should we drive the people of Qian State and Yan State to Liang State and let them starve and freeze, or should we simply drive the people of Qian State and Yan State to Liang State? Do you think it’s fair to kill everyone and let you take over their homes and everything else?”

Yi 𫖯 frowned and did not answer Xing Ji's words because he couldn't say the answer. How could the aloof royal family really care about the life and death of the people? The Situ family just wanted to satisfy their own ambitions. Yi Xiu was not naive enough to think that Situ Xie's statement that the war was for the people was true.

Xing Ji also looked at Platycladus orientalis outside, "You know the situation in Liang Kingdom better than I do. You have experienced many of them personally. In the past few decades, the royal family of Liang Kingdom has always been thinking about how to use war to rob Qian Kingdom. Territory and resources, but have you ever looked back and looked at what this has brought to the people? Of course you can say that it is worth sacrificing some people in exchange for stability and prosperity for future generations of the Liang Kingdom. You can also say that the Liang Kingdom is not If you attack the Qian Kingdom, the Qian Kingdom will be defeated sooner or later. This is the general trend of the world. But there is no need to talk about fairness and justice. Your behavior has nothing to do with fairness and justice. No one can choose their own origin. My background is better than yours. , does not mean that I owe you. If you compare with me, why not compare with Situ Xie? He was born into the royal family. If you say that I cannot understand the sufferings of the common people in Liang Kingdom because I have not experienced it, then you think that Situ Xie Do you understand?"

The generals of the Liang Kingdom have all experienced brainwashing from the royal family: their wars are just, for fairness, for the people, and for their own descendants. Yi 𫖯 is no exception.

But at this moment, Xing Ji's words exposed those bandit remarks that were simply untenable.

After another long silence, Yi 𫖯 suddenly laughed, with self-mockery on his face, "Even if you are right, what do you think it should be? Back to the past, peaceful coexistence, nothing changes, Liang Guo's life in a bitter cold land. Accept your fate and endure it for generations?”

Xing Ji shook his head, "Of course not. But I do have an idea about this. Although there is no decree from the capital yet, I believe the emperor will agree."

Yi 𫖯's eyes immediately became alert, "What do you want me to do?"

Xing Ji smiled, "Don't worry, I won't force you. But I believe that you will make a wise choice, whether it is for yourself, your descendants, or the people of Liang Kingdom."

…

Nanping City.

Because Yi Xiu was captured, everyone in the Liang army was in panic. Peng Wei and Peng Qian's father and son stayed low-key at this time and did not want to stand out. Although Peng Wei still has prestige in the military.

That night, Peng Wei was flipping through an old military book under the lamp that he had left in the General's Mansion in Nanping City many years ago and had never taken it away. He sighed as he read it.

There was a noise near the window, and Peng Wei turned his head to look over, his expression changing suddenly! He saw a masked man in black entering the room and walking towards him.

Before Peng Wei could hold his sword, the man took off his mask, revealing a young and handsome face.

"You..." Peng Wei frowned, "What are you doing here?"

It's Qiu Jing. When Peng Wei met him a few years ago, he was still a young general in Xuanbei City, Chen Yun. Later he became a general, then the second prince of Liang Kingdom, and now he is the chief general of Xuanbei City.

At this moment, Peng Wei was more confused than afraid. Because he knew Qiu Jing would not hurt him, thanks to Xing Ji and Su Liang.

"I have something I want to talk to Mr. Peng." Qiu Jing said and sat down.

Peng Wei picked up the books that he had just thrown away, arranged them, put them in front of him, and sighed, "Just tell me."

…

When it was getting dark, a group of people came to Nanping City, and there was a carriage in the group. When we arrived at Xuanbei City, the sun had already risen.

After emergency repairs, the bombed Xuanbei City Gate and Wall have been basically restored to their original condition. There are soldiers patrolling the city tower. If they see someone appearing from a distance, they will immediately report it.

At first, I thought it was the Liang Kingdom's army that was coming again, but when I got closer, I found that there weren't many people coming.

When Xing Ji and Qiu Jing were standing on the city tower, the Liang people had already arrived below the city. The leader is Yi Chong, the eldest son of Yi Chong.

Yi Chong looks a lot like Yi Chong, with a square face, tall and strong. He was riding on horseback, looked up at Xing Ji and Qiu Jing, raised his hands and said loudly, "Yi is here to talk about peace today." He waved behind him.

The carriage curtain was opened by soldiers, and Peng Wei was helped out of the carriage. He looked weak, unsteady on his feet, and coughing constantly.

"General Yi, what do you mean?" Xing Ji asked coldly and condescendingly.

"Mr. Peng suddenly fell ill and was very ill. Even the military doctors in Nanping City said they couldn't cure it. Mr. Peng said that he had a relationship with Dr. Su from your country and wanted to go to Qian Country to ask Dr. Su for treatment." Yi Chong said loudly. , "I don't think General Xing and General Qiu will stop me, right?"

"If General Peng just came to seek medical treatment, no one would stop him," Xing Ji said.

Yi Chong nodded slightly, "That's good, but... whether Mr. Peng can go depends on my father's approval. Mr. Peng came to Nanping City under the emperor's order to give guidance to my father. The emperor has told his father to take good care of Peng. Lao, I can't make the decision to go to Qian Country at this time. I can't make the decision for such a big thing. Yesterday, my father came to see General Xing for discussion. I wonder if he got drunk last night? We need to ask him to come out and see how Peng Lao is doing. Determine.”

Qiu Cong appeared on the tower and cursed angrily, "Stop saying those shameless words! I replaced your father with an old general and pretended to be human. If you want face, don't come. If you come, don't be disgusting! Use it!" A Liang country person is replaced by a Liang country person. It is really the most ridiculous thing in the world! You Liang country invaded for no reason. What happened to arresting your father? It is only natural to arrest your whole family! If you have the ability to come here and talk glibly, if you have the guts, don't push out the person named Peng. You can exchange it for your father!"

Peng Wei kept coughing, which made people anxious.

After being scolded by Qiu Cong, Yi Chong's face turned green and white, and then he heard Xing Ji say, "Since General Yi can only talk about Mr. Peng's matter, then go and ask him to leave the city!"

Yi Chong looked relaxed and breathed a long sigh of relief. A letter appeared on his bed last night. He didn't know who sent it, but he was sure it was his father Yi's handwriting, and it gave instructions on what he was doing at the moment.

Peng Wei couldn't hold it any longer and was sent back to the carriage. Yi Chong waited at the foot of the city for about an hour. When he heard the sound of the city gate opening, his expression was shocked!

Yi 𫖯 came out on a horse. He was wearing regular clothes. His clothes were a little wrinkled and he looked bad. He looked like he was hungover.

As for the nonsense that Yi Chong said before about Yi Xi coming to Xuanbeicheng on his own initiative, no one cared about it.

"Dad!" Yi Chong looked excited.

Yi 𫖯 shook his head at him and looked at the carriage, "Peng Lao is going to Liang Kingdom to seek medical treatment. It has nothing to do with anything else. Let him go."

Peng Wei opened the car curtain and looked over. When Yi 𫖯 saw his old face, a trace of shame flashed in his eyes.

Yi 𫖯 returned to Liang Guo's team, and after driving Peng Wei's carriage into the gate of Xuanbei City, the gate was closed again.

"General Yi, go slowly. I hope we can really have a good talk next time." Xing Ji snorted coldly, turned around and walked down the tower.

After leaving Xuanbei City far away, Yi Chong raised his hand to signal the team to stop and rest.

"How is dad? Are you okay?" Yi Chong looked Yi 𫖯 up and down.

Yi 𫖯 shook his head, "It's okay."

"Dad..." Yi Chong felt that Yi 𫖯 came back so easily because he was betrayed by Gan's national policy.

Yi Jian stared in the direction of Nanping City and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back." Xing Ji assured him that as long as the Situ family is gone and the Liang Kingdom is gone, the people of the Liang Kingdom will live a better life than they are now. And Yi 𫖯 and his children and grandchildren will also have a bright future because they made the right choice. Yi 𫖯 was moved, because he could no longer see Liang Guo continuing on the original path. What kind of tomorrow would there be...

As for Peng Wei, he was just the tool in today's drama. He was informed and very cooperative, because what Qiu Jing told him last night was exactly what he expected.

In the eyes of the uninitiated, as Qiu Cong scolded, it was Yi Chong who chose to use Peng Wei to threaten Xing Ji after Yi Xi was captured, in exchange for Yi Xi's return, and also said some high-sounding words that were meant to cover up.

…

Peng Wei sat in the meeting hall of the Xuanbeicheng military camp again, holding hot tea in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh, "The last time I sat here, I was still negotiating with Su Liang. I heard that she gave birth to a girl? That's great, she must be long. It’s got to be nice.”

Qiu Cong immediately took out a letter from his arms that was almost ruined by reading it, opened it and showed it to Peng Wei. There was little girl Gu Nuannuan's small handprint on the paper.

There are many things that need not be said again. Peng Wei was already deeply disappointed with the Situ royal family. And he was able to support Yi Xiang back then because Yi Xiang climbed up from the bottom and was ambitious but also had a conscience.

When Xing Ji asked about Peng Qian, Peng Wei shook his head, "He will take care of himself." If Peng Qian came too, it would be easy for the Peng family to be suspected of betraying the Liang Kingdom.

"Mr. Peng's body..." Xing Ji asked.

Peng Wei chuckled and said, "It's all just pretending. It's okay. I was tired when I came here, and I have felt better in the past two days."

…

Qiu Cong went to Min Rou to say goodbye.

Min Rou was surprised, "Where are you going, Grandpa Qiu? Going home?"

"I would like to, but I can't go back for a while! If I go back, I will take you with me!" Qiu Cong looked helpless, "Jing'er and I are going to Yaocheng to get revenge on that bitch Situ Xie! Originally, I wanted to Jing'er will take you back to the capital, but he is filial and doesn't want me to go alone."

Min Rou nodded, "It's good that the two of us can take care of each other. Grandpa Qiu, go take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, let's go together. We won't be able to capture Situ Xie's head!" Qiu Cong said with a smile, "Are you in a hurry to return to the capital?"

Min Rou was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand quickly, "Don't worry, there's no need to arrange for someone to send it to me."

Qiu Cong nodded, "That's it, just wait here for us to come back, and let's go home together!" He has his own little Jiujiu in mind. If Min Rou returns to the capital early and is abducted by some kid, his grandson, Yumudada, Where can he find a grandson-in-law for him? All the good girls around Su Liang have their masters, and this is the only one left.

Min Rou didn't know what Qiu Cong was thinking. After her grandfather and grandson left, Xing Ji asked if she needed to send someone to escort her back to Beijing. Min Rou thought she had made an appointment with Qiu Cong, so she said no other arrangements were needed, but she wanted to give her Su Liang wrote a letter and asked Su Liang to tell Mr. Min that everything was fine and that she would go home after a while.

…

The war reached its climax in a "robust" manner, and then suddenly subsided.

When Su Liang received the news, he was teaching his two young apprentices to identify the medicinal materials that Gu Ling had picked up on his way out of the city.

"How's the battle going?" Zheng'er asked with a frown as Su Liang read the letter.

Su Liang sighed, "We should stop fighting now." The letter was about Min Rou, Qiu Cong's meeting with He Wei.

Gu Ling read the letter and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. I didn't want Mo Yan to recognize you. It was just to end the war as soon as possible and avoid causing too many casualties. The goal should be achieved. Next, we will deal with the Situ family. Use all your strength to deal with Xingluo Island.”

Ji Xiaoshu blinked, "There are bad guys on Xingluo Island? Just let the stars fall and smash the bad guys to death!"

Gu Ling shook his head, "If a star falls, we will all be killed."

Zheng'er's face was confused, "But the stars are so small."

"Yes! Master, what are you talking about?" Ji Xiaoshu expressed his confusion.

Gu Ling flew across the lake to the other side, then flew back, looked at the two young apprentices and asked, "What did you find?"

Ji Xiaoshu looked surprised, "Master, is he crazy?"

Zheng'er scratched his head, "Master...has your Qing Gong improved again?"

"When I'm on the other side, I look smaller than when I'm in front of you." Gu Ling said.

"So?" Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu said in unison.

Gu Ling explained, "You see the stars are so small because they are very far away. If they really fall, they will be bigger than the sky and the earth."

Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu were both shocked. The two little guys even ran away to look at each other to verify Gu Ling's statement. The conclusion was: it's true!

"How does Master know that the stars are far away from us?"

"Master, do you know how big the stars are?"

"I know." Gu Ling nodded.

"How did master know? Was it hit by a star?" Ji Xiaoshu grabbed Gu Ling and asked.

Gu Ling knocked on Ji Xiaoshu's forehead and saw Su Liang standing not far away holding Gu Xiaonuan and smiling. His eyes suddenly turned gentle, "I have a star, she told me."
