After a while, Xizhi calmed down in Xu Jiang's arms.
Shan Bo smiled and said, "It seems that our girl is still useful."
Divine Doctor Dai nodded. "Although I don't know the reason, it seems that Madam Xu can indeed make Madam Wan feel something."
Shan Bo echoed the sentiment, "Since there is some resonance, perhaps our girl can help Madam Wan's illness. In my humble opinion, it would be better to let our girl spend some time with Madam Wan first and see the effect."
"That's fine." Doctor Dai asked Wan Sheng, "What do you think, Master Wan?"
Wan Sheng looked at the two people cuddling together, and thinking of his wife's appearance just now, how could he harden his heart? He said to Divine Doctor Dai, "I promise to treat you." Then he said to Xu Jiang, "If Madam Xu is willing to help, that would be great."
Xu Jiang said lightly, "This is my responsibility as a junior, so I will do it without hesitation."
It's part of my job. Everyone present, except for a fool and a lunatic, understood the hidden meaning in his words.
Wansheng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that something was gradually leaving him. He was extremely reluctant but also felt relieved. He didn't have to pretend anymore from now on.
He invited her again, "Madam Xu, since you are so compatible with my wife and are willing to help me, why don't you move into the garden? It will be more convenient there."
Xu Jiang did not refuse this time, "Thank you for bothering me."
Shan Bo smiled like Maitreya Buddha.
The fool was also very happy, "Then I will immediately have someone clean up the yard, and then ask someone to help you move the things."
Shan Bo bowed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Wan."
Wansheng looked at him and cursed inwardly, "Old fox!"
Xu Jiang looked down at Xizhi in his arms, and couldn't help but reach out to touch her face, calling softly in his heart, "Mother."
But Xizhi seemed to have sensed something, tightened her arms and hugged her tightly.
In her dream, she heard a baby crying and then went to look for the source of the sound.
————The unlucky dividing line————
Going along the Chixi River, there was no shortage of water and grass. The camels were well fed and walked much faster. Zhao Xiu and A Yanlianshan soon arrived at Xizhou.
When the two arrived at the city gate, Zhao Xiu saw soldiers holding portraits and checking passers-by.
"It looks like we can't get in." Zhao Xiu asked, "Do you have any way to call your people out to inquire about the situation in the city?"
Ayan Lianshan reached out to him.
"What?"
"Is it free to ask someone to deliver the message?"
Zhao Xiu had no choice but to take out a piece of silver and give it to him, looking quite sad.
Ayan Lianshan took the silver and spotted a few Tibetans among the people queuing to enter the city, then went up to talk to them.
When Zhao Xiu saw that the Tibetans accepted the silver and nodded to the Turkic barbarians, he knew that the matter was done.
After returning from Lianshan, Ayan pulled her camel towards a small road heading north.
Zhao Xiu followed, "Where are you going?"
A Yan Lianshan said, "There's a Buddhist cave over there. Let's go there and wait."
It seems that the Buddhist cave is the meeting point of these Turks.
When the two men arrived at the Buddhist cave, they saw a group of Hu merchants also stopped there, so they could use them to hide from others.
In addition to the group of Hu merchants, there was also a monk and a Confucian scholar with wide sleeves in the Buddhist cave. The monk and the Confucian scholar sat opposite each other, but neither of them spoke.
A Hu merchant was standing behind the scholar, scratching his head and face with a look of worry.
This is a strange sight. "What are you doing?"
The Hu merchant beside him glanced at him and replied in Chinese: "The monk and the Han man are meditating."
"You speak Chinese quite well." Zhao Xiu was a little surprised, and then started chatting with him, "Then what is that person behind them doing?"
Ayan Lianshan pulled Zhao Xiu and said, "Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
Zhao Xiu glanced back and said, "No one's here yet, so I'm just joining in the fun."
Ayan Lianshan just wanted to kick him into the mural.
"That's our new partner, discussing his first business deal." Hu Shang looked the two of them over and asked Zhao Xiu, "You speak with a Beijing accent. Are you from Beijing?"
"I guess so."
"Our caravan goes to the capital every year." He then pointed to his new partner and said, "His name is Yilale. He has lived in the capital for many years. The deal we are negotiating now was also taken place in the capital."
"That's quite a coincidence." Zhao Xiusui asked, "What kind of business did he take?"
"Looking for books for someone."
"Looking for a book?" Zhao Xiu laughed, "So there's an even better coincidence."
Seeing Hu Shang looking at him with doubt, Zhao Xiu said, "I used to run a bookstore in the capital. I'm good at finding books."
For example, he would "buy" all the books from various bookstores in Beijing.
Hu Shang didn't believe it, "Really?"
Ayan Lianshan also cast a suspicious look at him, "Just you?"
Zhao Xiu said complacently, "Don't disbelieve me, I used to be the owner of Wanjuanlou, the best bookstore in the capital."
A Yan Lianshan sneered, "How could the owner of the First Bookstore fall to this point?"
Zhao Xiu didn't bother to pay attention to him and asked Hu Shang, "Your Yilaer, how did you come to Xizhou looking for books?"
Hu Shang said, "That book was written by a man named Dong Lingzi. The original is out of print and very hard to find in the capital. The buyer somehow heard that one of Dong Lingzi's disciples had drifted to Anxi, so he asked Yilale to help find him. It just so happened that when we were in Focheng, we heard that Dong Lingzi had a disciple in Xizhou, so we found him and came here."
"Donglingzi?" Zhao Xiu looked at Yilale and the scholar, stroking his chin and saying, "Could the book he's looking for be the Donglingzi Collection?"
Hu Shang was surprised and asked, "You know all this?"
