Emperor Qianlong: the beginning of his glory

Chapter 17 Blind Wu Escorts Away the Rivers and Lakes
"Little Yu'er" suddenly showed this kung fu, and hundreds of people inside and outside the store were startled for a moment, and then burst into applause.When Qianlong saw that this young man was the water bearer who talked to him last night, he couldn't help being shocked: such a small town, such a small shop, there are such talented people, and they are so young!The monk smiled strangely, and said, "I have finally forced your truth out! You are no match for Buddha. Your master is Pan Shijie, right? Take me to a meeting!"

"Master wanders all over the world, and Xiao Yu'er doesn't know where he is." Xiao Yu'er said with a grin, "If you have any quarrel with my master, tell me, and the debt will be repaid." The iron Buddha stared at him with deep-set eyes. Xiao Yu'er said, "I'm afraid you can't bear it. The surname Pan didn't go far, but he was recuperating nearby, right?" He raised his palm and wanted to take a picture.Qianlong was about to order the guards to go up to capture him, but Li Wei tugged at his sleeves and whispered, "Master, this is a kindness and resentment in the underworld. We just stand by and watch." An old man who was drinking tea, who did not know what kind of spell he used, came over with a few steps, and caught the iron Buddha's palm with a "slap". The person came and asked, "Who are you?"

"Blind Wu." As Blind Wu said, he tore off the white beard sticking to his chin, and said with a chuckle, "Go back to Guangdong and Guangxi and become the king! This is Jiangbei. I have asked Senior Brother Luo to pass down the order , You are not allowed to commit crimes in these four provinces within three months. Do you understand the rules of the Green Gang?" The cast iron Buddha laughed loudly like an owl, shook his head and said, "What is the Green Gang? Who is Luo Zu? Blind Wu? Hmm, I’ve never heard of it.” Blind Wu smiled coldly, and said, “Then I’ll tell you to see it today. Xiao Yu’er, it’s none of your business, you go!”

Xiao Yuer opened his eyes wide, looked at Blind Wu in amazement, and said, "Are you the grand master? The old man who captured Ganfengchi in Qingyun Tower, Nanjing—old senior?" The iron fish on the ground took a step forward and fixed it with his feet, then turned around and twisted, and the inch-thick iron fish was crushed and crushed.The six spring-loaded steel nails in the iron fish all bounced out at once, nailed tremblingly to the brick wall, buzzing!

"This is not a place to make gestures." Blind Wu glanced at Li Wei, and said to the pig iron Buddha with a smirk, "I'll let you go wherever you say!" Tie Yu flew as high as one person, and landed on the stone steps outside the shop with a "bang".The spectators uttered a cry, and immediately scattered in all directions, watching blindly Wu, the pig iron Buddha and Xiao Yu'er walk away.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief at this point, hurriedly ordered people to settle the rent, took the horse and asked Qianlong to ride, took the goods out of the north of the city, and crossed the Yellow River at Youxian Ferry.Seeing that Qianlong was just in a daze on the horse, Fu Heng asked, "Master, do you seem to have something on your mind?"

"I don't know how they are playing." Qianlong said: "I—I really want to see it with my own eyes." Liu Tongxun sighed: "It's really eye-opening today. How many of these people are as good as the guards in the palace?" Li Wei laughed and said, "The master wants to see them, and I will arrange for them to return to Beijing. Tell the master, there are only two things you need to win over these people, one is fame and the other is righteousness. Give him a reputation and promise him loyalty, and he will be able to do it for you." You go through fire and water." Qianlong laughed and said, "Li Wei really has a way to control robbers!"

A group of more than ten people crossed the Yellow River from Youxian Ferry.The north shore is a boundless yellow sand beach, the sand sinks into horseshoes, and it is very difficult to walk.At this time, it was the beginning of hot summer, and the heat was steaming. There was no water on the beach, and there was not even a big tree to rest.Ascending to the river embankment on the north bank, a gust of cool wind blew in. As soon as Qianlong said "It's so cool", he heard a thunderclap from far away in the west.

"The rain is coming!" Li Wei set up an arbor on his horse and looked west, and said, "Let's go quickly, we'll stay at Xiling Temple tonight, and we're still sixty miles away!" A puff of yellow sand rolled up, and the hot and sweaty guards cheered in unison. When Qianlong looked west, the dark clouds had pushed from west to east and covered half of the sky in a short while. Qianlong smiled and said: "Why should Li Wei be flustered? The smoke and rain hat rolls are single, do you know the meaning of this?"

There was another thunderclap as he spoke, as if it exploded right above his head.Then, corn-sized hailstones fell.Qianlong didn't come back to his senses, his face had already been hit with a few grains, and the beating was painful. Fu Heng flew off the horse and scolded the guards with staring eyes: "You bastard! Why don't you protect the emperor quickly?" Two guards rushed forward In the past, one person hugged his waist and the other pulled his leg, dragging Qianlong off the horse without any explanation.Qianlong got off the horse and burrowed under the horse's belly, but was grabbed by Li Wei.

"Your Majesty can't do it!" Li Wei said anxiously, "What if the horse is stunned by the impact and kicks up?" Seeing that the hailstones were falling more and more violently, and the hailstones were as big as walnuts, Li Wei shouted: "Turn your boots on!" Take it off and put it on your head!" Fu Heng also didn't care about the face of the nobleman at this time, and imitated the others by tearing off the boots and putting them on his head.Qianlong sat cross-legged on the sand.Three or four guards hurriedly surrounded Qianlong, covering Qianlong tightly.At the beginning of the shock, Qianlong smiled and said: "The method of inverting the crown and shoes is really good. Today, Li Wei has done a good deed by rebelling against the scriptures and using all the tricks of beggars--Li Wei, you step back, they are enough to do it." It's over." Before the words finished, some horse neighed wildly, and suddenly a group of horses screamed and jumped wildly, and ran without a trace in the rain.

The hailstones passed after a while, but the rain didn't mean to stop. The drenched people were blown by the wind, and their hearts were piercingly cold.Qianlong's lips were black and blue from the cold, Fu Heng ordered people to search for the horses, and said to Qianlong: "Master, we have to walk, otherwise we will suffer from frostbite. It's all because the servants are not careful..." Qianlong didn't wait for him After finishing speaking, he waved his hands and went northward, and seeing Li Wei chasing him, he smiled and said, "Everyone's face is ashen from the cold, why does your sick man seem irrelevant?" , the servant never stopped walking with his boots on. The master has to quicken his pace this time, and it doesn't matter if he sweats."

But Qianlong couldn't walk anymore, probably because his body was warmed up and immersed in the rain for too long, his limbs were stiff and he couldn't move.He trudged with all his strength, his internal organs were tumbling and surging, but the sweat never came out.Fu Heng, who was walking beside him, saw that his complexion was not good, so he approached him and asked, "Your Majesty, are you unhappy?"

"..."

Qianlong was very dizzy, dizzy, gritted his teeth, reluctantly walked forward, staggered a step, and fell to the ground.Liu Tongxun and several guards screamed and surrounded him.

"master!"

Li Wei and the other three saw that Qianlong's eyes were closed tightly, his teeth were gritted and unconscious, and they panicked.Li Wei broke out in a cold sweat, his face was pale, he pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Find a place to shelter from the rain—Pegasus informed the front station to call the doctor! Just grab the medicine for dispelling cold, dispelling wind, dispelling heat, and detoxification." !" Fu Heng said anxiously: "There is a Zhuangzi over there, you go! I will inform Xiling Temple!" After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and slammed the whip on the horse's buttocks with all his strength, and the horse hissed and galloped away.Liu Tongxun bent down and carried Qianlong on his back. Li Wei and several guards followed closely on the right side, one foot high and the other foot low, and walked towards the village along the ridge of the corn field.There is a temple at the entrance of the village, and the gate and courtyard walls have collapsed.There is a broken plaque on the main entrance, with the three characters "Zhenhe Temple" written on it.

Everyone rushed to get Qianlong to the altar, built a bed with several tea baskets, and put Qianlong on it in a hurry.Liu Tongxun ordered people to pull down the wooden fence in front of the shrine and light a fire to keep warm.The fire folder was wet, and there was no way to light it. Li Wei fiddled with the incense ash with his hands, and seeing that there were still a few unburned incense heads, he hurriedly took out a handful of tea leaves from the tea basket and put them on the incense head. While blowing gently, he said, "Take off the veil of God and start the fire."

"Go to two people and ask where this is. Is there a doctor or a raw medicine shop in the village?" Seeing that everyone was watching Li Wei's actions, Liu Tongxun stared angrily and said, "When is this, how dare you be dumb!" Li Wei Carefully waited on the fire, and finally lit a bonfire beside Qianlong.People who just came in from the rain got this heating and immediately felt very comfortable.Seeing that Qianlong's face was turning rosy, Li Wei boldly strangled him.Qianlong trembled, his eyes slightly opened.Qianlong's lips twitched, and Li Wei hurriedly moved to his ear, but he heard Qianlong say: "There is... Vigorous Zijin Pill in my horse, take it..."

Li Wei said softly: "Master, this slave does not dare to follow orders. You must obey the doctor when you use medicine, and someone has already sent someone to invite you. You are much better than before, so it's okay." He paused and said: "Look at you With this body, no matter what, I can't go. According to my servant's knowledge, I will find a family to rest for a while, and it will not be too late to leave after the illness is cured."

"Okay." Qianlong nodded.

After spending a bag of cigarettes, Li Wei and Liu Tongxun found a compound with three entrances and three exits. Although it was older, it was a green hall with bricks to the top, and it was easy to fortify without relying on neighbors.Liu Tongxun then went to knock on the door, knocking on the first ring with his hands. After a long time, the door opened with a "ah", and Liu Tongxun saw that the girl who opened the door was the girl who had been avoiding debts in Yao's old shop last night, so he couldn't help saying in surprise: "Ah!" ,It's you?"

"What's wrong with me?" The girl was taken aback by what he said, put her hand on the door frame and said, "I don't recognize you!" Liu Tongxun then told what he saw last night, and said, "You were killed by your seventeenth master." Forced back to the village, why didn’t he just pay for the dozens of taels of silver? Let my master stay for a few days, and leave when he recovers. Your little debt is really trivial.” The girl turned around and went in after hearing this. He came out and said: "There are vacant rooms in this courtyard, and any number of people can live there. It's just that it's just us two, it's probably inconvenient."

Liu Tongxun was stunned for a moment, remembering that Li Wei's wife Cui'er had gone to Xiling Temple first, he smiled and said: "It's okay, we are serious business people. If the master is not sick, we don't dare to bother. There is also a female family member Wouldn't it be convenient to come here together and serve the sick?" The girl went in again and came out and said, "Since there are sick people, where is it not a place to do charity? Come live here." Then Liu and Li went back to the temple and returned to the temple. After Qianlong.Li Wei ordered someone to pick up Cui'er again.Qianlong lived in the west courtyard of the Wang Family Courtyard, and it was dark already.Everyone was already hungry at this time, but Qianlong was ill, so no one dared to speak.Li Wei and Liu Tongxun were busy up and down like a revolving lantern, and they were relieved only when the doctor came.The doctor is about fifty years old, and he is very honest.The two led the doctor in and gave Qianlong a pulse.At this time Qianlong had already fallen into a deep sleep, he looked very peaceful, his body was burning like coals, his face was flushed, and his breathing was rough and uneven.

"Sir, this disease," the old doctor let go of his hand, and said slowly, "according to the pulse condition, the pulse is slow and stagnant, and the feet are slippery. The five internal organs are suddenly attacked by cold and heat, and the two poisons attack the spleen. Hurt but Jinsheng—" He shook his head and continued to say, Tweety lifted the curtain and came in, and said with a smile: "Old man, you are memorizing the medicine book with us, you only said that this disease has nothing to do with it, how to use the medicine That's it!" The old doctor said: "It's definitely not a problem, just take a dose of medicine and sweat a lot, and you'll be fine. But you have to take good care of it, otherwise, the root cause of the disease will be left behind, and it will be easy to make mistakes when facing the scene." When he came to the outside room, he saw that Fu Heng had packed medicine bags all over the floor, so he just unpacked the bags and spread them out on the floor.The old man was taken aback.Fu Heng hurriedly explained: "I was busy, so I grabbed some medicines for backup. If you see what is missing, I will ask them to catch it again." The old doctor couldn't help laughing, and wrote before the case:
Bupleurum (wine fried) [-] qian, Anemarrhena [-] qian, Radix Ginseng [-] fen, Minlou [-] qian, Wang Buliuxing [-] qian, Cheqian [-] qian, licorice [-] qian, Sichuan pepper [-] qian, fried in a hot fire, cast large A few jujubes and three stalks of green onions are used as quotations.

Fu Heng looked at it and said: "Is it okay for the Bupleurum to be promoted?" The old man said: "The Bupleurum that has been fried in wine will diverge, so it's okay." Fu Heng said to the doctor again: "Doctor, there is no need to go back. Our The master's health is important, you have to take care of it here at any time—oh, don't worry, I have sent someone to take care of the house. The rewards will definitely be good." Just as I was about to send someone to prepare meals for the doctor, I remembered my group of people He didn't even eat, so he said, "Tui'er, go over and ask the landlord if you can borrow the cooking utensils and stoves. I can only cook some rice porridge tonight, so I'll make it up." A guard had already taken the doctor to live elsewhere.
