Jiang Weiwei asked, "why did you go to Xisha?"
Old eight erases the handwriting on the small blackboard and writes new content.
The content of this time is relatively long, densely filled with small blackboards.
"The master once saw the king of Huoluo. At that time, the king of Huoluo was only half a child in his teens. He followed his father and brother to Bianjing city to pay tribute to the son of heaven. The master is well-informed. At a glance, he can see that the king of Huoluo must be extraordinary when he grows up. The master wanted to kill him directly, but he was blocked by Xu Yizhi. Xu Yizhi thought that killing the envoy would provoke disputes between the two countries and let the king of Huoluo go first. The master was afraid that letting the tiger go back to the mountain would eventually become a great danger. When he dismissed us, he specially assigned me a task. He hoped that I could hide in Xisha under my own name and had better find a chance to get close to the king of Huoluo. If Xisha goes to war with southern Chu in the future, I might be able to help Southern Chu at the critical moment. "
Facts have proved that Gu Zheng's concern is right. The king of Huoluo unified Xisha and led troops to attack Southern Chu, and his ambition is clear.
Fortunately, Lao Ba helped lead the way this time, otherwise Gu Fei could not save Zhong Fu, and maybe even himself would get in.
Jiang Weiwei thought that her father-in-law was really farsighted. He could see through a person at a glance and predicted what would happen in ten years. Such talents, not to mention the ancient times, must be powerful people and things even in the modern era with highly developed science and technology.
Old eight wiped off the handwriting on the blackboard again and wrote new words.
"Young lady, do you have anything else to ask?"
Jiang Wei said, "no, go back."
Old eight wrote and asked, "will you come back for dinner tonight?"
"No, I still have a lot of wounded people to deal with. It is estimated that they will come back very late. You don't have to wait for me. Go to bed after eating."
Old eight put away the small blackboard, bowed to her, turned and walked out of the wounded camp.
……
Jiang Shuan walked in the desert with 10000 Southern Chu soldiers for three days. When they ran out of water and food, they finally found the sunset country in Hong Yong's mouth.
A country is actually a small oasis.
There are some sparse small trees growing outside the oasis. The ground is yellow sand mixed with soil. The more you go inside, the more lush you see vegetation. The yellow sand on the ground gradually recedes, revealing reddish brown soil covered with thin turf.
They didn't go long before they were stopped by the people of the sunset country.
What Xisha pays attention to is that all the people are soldiers. The people usually work in agriculture. When they want to fight, they can become soldiers when they pick up weapons.
The whole sunset country adds up to 10000 people. Most of the young and middle-aged people were captured by the king of Huoluo as slaves. Now there are only some old and weak women and children left in the sunset country. One of these old and weak women and children are all out, holding weapons to confront Jiang Shuan and others.
Jiang Shuan sat on his horse and looked at the old and weak women and children in front of him.
"If you don't want to die, call out your king. I have something to say to him."
A Liang immediately helped translate his words into Xisha.
When the sunset people heard this, they looked at each other, and one of them ran back.
Soon the king of sunset came.
He is a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a black scarf tied on his head and simple clothes. If he doesn't see the exquisite sword at his waist, he is almost no different from ordinary people in the sunset country.
He first took a look at Hong Yong.
Hong Yong once brought a caravan to sell goods. The king of the sunset country met him and had some impression of him. At this time, he had recognized him.
Hong Yong arched his hand at him, smiled and greeted him in Xisha dialect.
"Haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder if your majesty is well?"
The king of the sunset country said in a deep voice, "before, every time you came to our country to do business, I never felt sorry for you and your people. Why did you bring the enemy to us?"
"Don't get me wrong, your majesty. We have no malice. We just want to borrow your precious land to replenish some water and food. When we replenish water and food, we will leave immediately."
This paragraph is a little long. Hong Yong stumbled and paused several times.
Fortunately, the king of sunset understood him.
The white haired old man who followed the king whispered.
"Your Majesty, don't believe their nonsense. They are the enemies of the king of Huoluo. If the king of Huoluo knows that we have taken them in and given them food and water, the king of Huoluo will not let us go. If we don't do well, our whole sunset country will be razed to the ground."
The fierce name of King Huoluo has spread all over Xisha. No matter a big country or a small country, they dare not be enemies as long as they want to survive in Xisha.
The king of the sunset country was silent for a long time before he spoke a word.
Hong Yong was obviously stunned after hearing this.
Jiang Shuan asked, "what did he say?"
Hong Yong answered truthfully, "he asked if we had a doctor?"
"What does he want the doctor to do?"
A Liang helped translate Jiang Shuan's question into Xisha dialect.
The king of sunset whispered a few words.
A Liang said, "he said that his queen was unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake. Now he is unconscious. He invited a domestic witch doctor to see the queen. Instead of getting better, his condition has become more and more serious. If we are willing to lend the doctor to him, he will promise to provide us with water and food."
Compared with southern Chu, Xisha civilization is very backward. Today, they still believe in gods and witch doctors. The so-called witch doctor is to treat people with some divine methods. If it is cured, the patient is lucky. If it is not cured, the patient is not favored by the gods. To blame, the patient can only blame his own life. Anyway, the witch doctor is reasonable.
The queen of the sunset country is a woman from southern Chu. Under her influence, the king of the sunset country has always respected the civilization of Southern Chu.
The witch doctor tried his best to cure the queen. Now the queen is dying and is dying. He can only place his hope on the medical skills of South Chu.
Jiang Shuan took out a small porcelain vase from his luggage and said, "we didn't bring the doctor out this time, but I have a medicine here, called huanhun pill, which can be taken by the queen. One pill a day may be useful."
Reviving pill is not an antidote, but it can prolong life.
In fact, the best way to relieve snake venom is to gently draw a knife near the wound bitten by the poisonous snake and release the poisonous blood.
In the past, Jiang Shuan used this local method of bleeding to cure several brothers bitten by poisonous snakes, but it is obvious that the queen of the sunset country has been poisoned for some time, and the bleeding therapy may not work.
There are twelve soul reviving pills in this bottle, which can at least make the queen of the sunset country live for another 12 days. Whether we can find a way to cure the queen in these 12 days depends on the attitude of the old God.
