The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 46 046
Xiapi Chen Mansion.

Chen Qun held a bowl of herbal medicine that had just been brewed, put it to his mouth and blew it again and again, and then delivered the bowl of medicine to his father Chen Ji's mouth.

"Father, it's still hot, drink it slowly." Chen Qun said with concern.

The strong smell of herbs came to his nostrils. Chen Ji stared at the bowl of medicine again and again, and finally turned his head away.

Seeing this, Chen Qun hurriedly said in a comforting tone: "Father, I know you hate taking medicine, but if you don't take this medicine, your legs will never get better. Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. The boy hopes that his father will not shy away from medical treatment."

"Changwen, being a father is not about avoiding medical treatment, but because I really don't want to take it. In the past two years, I have never stopped taking medicine for my father, but look at my legs, I can't even move..." Chen Ji said here , sighed heavily, pinched his legs with both hands, but felt no pain at all.

Chen Qun frowned. Seeing his father's depressed appearance, he was also psychologically uncomfortable. He grabbed Chen Ji's hand and said comfortingly: "Father, didn't the doctor also say that this illness is all about persistence. Father I have persisted for the past two years. Wouldn’t it be a pity if I gave up halfway now? I heard that the genius doctor Hua Tuo appeared in the Pengcheng area recently. After two days, I will go to Pengcheng in person to inquire about Hua. The whereabouts of Tuo, I asked him to come and treat his father. I often heard people say that Hua Tuo is a master of medicine, and any intractable disease can be cured by medicine in his hands. He is a living god and is called a miracle doctor. As long as my father persists until Hua Tuo arrives, I believe it will not take long for my father to stand up again..."

"If there really is such a genius doctor, then I won't have to suffer this kind of torture anymore..."

"That's right, father, so, you must persevere. Come on, drink this medicine quickly. After I invite the miracle doctor back, father will no longer need to take medicine."

Chen Ji nodded, like a child, he obediently drank the whole bowl of herbs.

Chen Qun watched his father drink the medicine with a smile on his face, but his heart felt like a big stone was pressed down, and he was almost out of breath.

He had heard of Hua Tuo's name a long time ago, but he also knew that Hua Tuo's whereabouts were erratic. Last time he heard that he had appeared in Pengcheng, but now he didn't know if he was in Pengcheng.For this reason, he already had a plan, and planned to go to Pengcheng as soon as possible to find Hua Tuo and help his father treat his illness.

"Dong dong dong..."

Just as Chen Qun put down the medicine bowl, there was a hasty knock on the door outside.

He hurriedly got up and walked outside the main room. Through the crack of the door, he saw that the person standing outside was his neighbor Fang Wang, and asked hurriedly, "Old sister-in-law, seeing your flustered face, what happened?" ?”

Fang Wang hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, Mr. Chen, I was in the market just now, and I saw a few big and three thick men coveting Mrs. Chen's beauty, and wanted to moles Mrs. Chen, but Mrs. Chen refused, so she dragged Mr. Chen away , but was stopped by those people, and in broad daylight, Mrs. Chen and Mr. Chen were all kidnapped..."

"What did you say?" Chen Qun was taken aback when he heard the news, he opened the door immediately with a flustered expression, "Did you see all this with your own eyes?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. There were so many of them at the time, my wife didn't dare to talk too much, so she hid and took a peek. Seeing that they had kidnapped Mrs. Chen and Young Master Chen, I hurried back and told Mr. Chen about it."

"Old sister-in-law, can you see which direction those people are fleeing?"

"I saw them walking toward the west gate..."

Before Fang Wang could finish speaking, Chen Qun jumped out in one stride, and ran towards Ximen.

But when he ran to the west gate, the group had already disappeared.He then asked the soldiers guarding the city if they had seen a few strong men leading a young woman and a child out of the city. The soldiers shook their heads and said they hadn't seen them.

Chen Qun immediately went back to the city and inquired about the news in the market, only then did he know that those people got into the carriage halfway and ran out of the city.

It is said that this group of people are thieves roaming around Xiaqiu.

After Chen Qun inquired about the news, he was in a terrible mood. If this group of thieves really brought his wife and children to Xiaqiu, how would he save them?
After thinking about it, Chen Qun couldn't do anything.

He returned home with a depressed mood. Seeing his uneasy expression, his father, Chen Ji, hurriedly asked, "What? Didn't you find it?"

Although Chen Ji didn't hear the conversation between Chen Qun and Mrs. Fang very clearly just now, after Chen Qun left, Chen Ji called Mrs. Wang into the house again, and asked Mrs. Fang, only then did he know that he The news that his daughter-in-law and grandson were kidnapped.

"Father, you know everything?" Chen Qun asked.

Chen Ji nodded, frowned, and asked, "Looking at you, you probably haven't found it. Tell me about the situation."

"Father, I inquired about some news in the market. It seems that this group of people are rogues from the Xiaqiu area. If their wives are really taken to Xiaqiu, I don't even have a clue how to rescue them." Know……"

Chen Ji thought for a moment, and said to Chen Qun: "I heard from the Fang Wang family next door that the Xiapi Prime Minister Ruo Rong who has been domineering here has been killed by Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan has taken over the entire Xiapi. , including the army. Changwen, didn’t Zhang Yan come to you two days ago? You go to Zhang Yan immediately and ask him to send troops to save their wives, maybe there is still time.”

Chen Qun said worriedly: "Father, I rejected him last time, and the tone of my words was also very bad. If I go to ask him now, he might not be willing to help me, right?"

"It depends on human effort. If you don't give it a try, how do you know he won't help you? If he really refuses to help you, it's not too late for you to come back and think of other ways!"

"Okay, it's not too late, then I'll go to the prefect's mansion first. Father, you are at home alone, can you do it?"

"Don't worry, because the father can take care of himself, go and come back quickly."

"Here!"

Chen Qun turned around and strode outside. When he walked out of the gate and disappeared from Chen Ji's sight, he heard Chen Ji yelling in a loud voice: "Chang Wen has already left, you two can come out."

As soon as the words fell, two people came out of Chen Ji's room one after another. One of them was wearing a strong suit, and the other was wearing a long robe. Both of them bowed respectfully to Chen Ji: "Thank you, Mr. Chen For your help, sir, I am very grateful!"

The man in the strong suit is Chen Deng's younger brother Chen Ying, and the man in the robe is Chen Jiao.

Chen Ying and Chen Jiao came to visit Chen Ji this time under Zhang Yan's order, with the purpose of persuading Chen Ji to help them.

Chen Ji is a well-known celebrity in the country, Chen Ying and Chen Jiao have heard about it, they came directly to the Chen Mansion according to the time Zhang Yan instructed, and first paid a visit to Chen Ji, which explained the purpose of their visit.

Chen Ji is also a sensible person. After Chen Ying and Chen Jiao persuaded him, thinking about his son's future, he agreed to help Zhang Yan and play a role in fueling the flames.

"You don't have to thank me. I'm also thinking about Changwen. Since even Chen Yuanlong is willing to work for Zhang Yan, it is enough to show the charm of Zhang Yan. Changwen may have a different future with him. I promise Your business will be done, you go back first." Chen Ji waved his hand.

Chen Ying, Chen Jiao exchanged pleasantries with Chen Ji, and then they left.

In the prefect's mansion, Zhang Yanduan was sitting in the hall, browsing the bamboo slips sent by Zhou Kui. When he saw the shocking small characters on the bamboo slips, he frowned and couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"I didn't expect that there are more than 200 monasteries and temples in the city of Xiapi alone, and there are 3 or [-] monks and nuns, and they own up to [-] mu of fertile land..." Zhang Yan closed the bamboo slips, angry Said.

Zhou Kui went on to say: "Not only that, Ruo Rong once ordered that all monks and nuns should be exempted from taxes. This has further stimulated the common people who want to become monks and nuns. In addition, many monasteries and temples The monks and nuns in the pi are all secretly cheating, which is detrimental to public morality, if the adults don’t deal with it as soon as possible, I’m afraid there will be no more people after the pi.”

After hearing Zhou Kui's words, Zhang Yan was very angry, and immediately said to Zhou Kui: "Master Zhou, don't worry, within three days, I will definitely carry out a thorough rectification of the temples and temples in the territory!"

At this time, a yamen servant from outside the door came in, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, a man named Chen Qun came outside the door, saying that he wants to meet your lord!"

"Invite Mr. Chen in quickly!" Zhang Yan immediately said with a beaming smile.

The yamen servant responded, and was about to turn around, but heard Zhang Yan say again: "Forget it, I'd better go to the door to greet him in person!"

As soon as Zhang Yan finished speaking, he strode towards the door, but was stopped by Zhou Kui.

"Master Zhou, why are you stopping me?"

"Think twice, my lord. I heard that when my lord went to the Chen Mansion last time, Chen Qun didn't give me any face. Now that Chen Qun came suddenly, he must be asking for something. If my lord went to greet him, it would be too imposing. Your Excellency should just sit in the lobby and wait, and let Chen Qun take the initiative to find your Excellency."

Zhang Yan heard that what Zhou Kui said made sense, so he returned to his seat and sat upright, and then asked the yamen servant to bring Chen Qun in.

A moment later, the yamen servant brought Chen Qun to the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Chen Qun saw Zhang Yan sitting there majestic, with a stern face, and a pair of piercing eyes staring at him closely.

"Grassman Chen Qun, meet Master Zhang!" Chen Qun clasped his fists respectfully.

Zhang Yan waved his hand, motioning for Chen Qun to be excused. He sized up Chen Qun first, and then said, "I don't know why Mr. Chen made a sudden visit."
