"No problem, no problem." This inquiry made Liu Tao feel a little bit guilty.
I have to find Lu Yan and others, explain a little bit, just go and go back, and I should be able to come back before the spring.Just to be honest, Liu Tao is not sure when he can come back.
After all, we have to find a way to get through Huguan before we can go to Jizhou.It is also possible to cross the Taihang Mountains, which requires the cooperation of Zhang Yan.At this stage, there is no way to contact the other party urgently.
"Zhen Yi is ill. What did you do there? You are not a doctor?" Lu Zhi was the first to object. How could a prefect go to another county.
"I can order spells to cure diseases..." Liu Tao explained, it was impossible for Lu Zhi not to know the identity of his immortal disciple for so long.He even felt that it would be a matter of time before Luoyang knew about it.
As long as the secret is known to the second person, it means that it is completely exposed, and it is only a matter of time.
"If my father's illness hadn't deteriorated to a certain extent, my mother would not have written a letter." Zhen Jiang had no choice but to bow her head to everyone, "Please, please help me!"
"Sister-in-law said that, there's nothing I can do if I don't help..." Lu Yan looked at Lu Zhi, who sighed, obviously acquiescing.
"Brother, don't worry, we'll watch over here and make sure that whatever you leave is the same when you come back!" Zhang Fei assured Liu Tao, patting his chest.
"It's winter now, so there shouldn't be any problems." Guo Jia thought for a while.
"It's just that there must be enough guards, the identity of the lord is extraordinary!" Xun Yu gave a suggestion.
"I'll take my personal guards there. With Yang She as the guard, it's not a big problem." Liu Tao replied, of course he will arrange this, and he will go to Jizhou alone, of course he will not be so stupid.
In case someone is robbed along the way, let alone Zhen Jiang, he doesn't even guarantee that he can protect himself.
"The number of personal guards has been raised to 500... With this number, there shouldn't be a big problem." Xun Yu nodded. Of course, he knew better that the number of people had increased, but the combat effectiveness had dropped significantly.
A lot of newcomers came in, and the promotion of personal guards was an inevitable result, after all, there were more and more factions under Liu Tao's command.Sometimes the increase in power means that loyalty may deteriorate. At this time, the only thing that can be pinned on is the personal guard.
According to the court of the Han Dynasty, Zhi Jinwu and Wei Wei even counted Guang Luxun.These troops were the last line of defense of the Han emperor.It was also the last strength the emperor relied on to protect himself when only the last city of Luoyang was left in the Han Dynasty.
Of course, those who really play the emperor to death generally do not come from outside, but from inside.The three layers of defense are no match for the villain's assassination. Sure enough, the strongest bunkers are often breached from the inside...
Whether Liu Tao was assassinated, Xun Yu couldn't guarantee it, but the expansion of personal guards was an inevitable result.
Several other people also agreed that Liu Tao would go out with his personal guards, and there was enough food, so they simply prepared quickly. In the early morning of the next day, Liu Tao took Zhen Jiang and started to move forward quickly.In order to facilitate the journey, Zhen Jiang had to ride a horse alone.
Fortunately, there was not much activity in the cloud, so Zhen Jiang also learned how to ride a horse in her free time.For this reason, Liu Tao specially prepared riding clothes for her, including a pair of soft leather trousers. Without these, her thighs would suffer a little crime.
"Are you still used to it?" About two days after leaving Yunzhong, a group of people began to enter Yanmen County, and later entered too far, and then entered Jizhou through Huguan.After driving for two days, Liu Tao looked at Zhen Jiang and asked.
"I'm not used to traveling like this, but everything is fine." Zhen Jiang nodded firmly.Obviously, this little girl had a skin scratch on her inner thigh last night, and it was Liu Tao who came forward to treat her.
She may have ridden a horse for fun before, but it was definitely not such a high-intensity and long-term gallop.Perhaps because of fear, her legs were only clamped on the horse's belly, and needless to say, it was common sense that the skin would be worn out.
Fortunately, Liu Tao's healing technique is indeed very useful, and the side effects are also obvious, that is, the injury has completely recovered, but no old skin has grown, which means that the skin on her thigh is still very delicate, and she probably will not feel well today.
"I'll use another method to treat you tonight, which will be better." Liu Tao replied, vitality regeneration is a method to promote the body's self-healing, and in this way, old skin may appear.After a long time, she can also adapt to riding a horse.
The side effect is probably... In the boudoir in the future, the touch will probably be worse.
"Well, okay..." Zhen Jiang had to say that even though she was usually a soft and cute girl, at critical moments, she showed a strength that surpassed that of ordinary men.
"She's a good girl, but she's too young." Liu Tao sighed. If she really wanted to count, she would have to wait at least until later, which would take four or five years.After all, her real age is only 12 this year.
In the next few days, relying on 'vitality regeneration', Zhen Jiang gradually adapted to riding a horse.A group of people walked a hundred miles a day, and it took four days to enter Zhongshan County.
It was only when he arrived at Wu Ji's hometown that he realized that the house had been decorated as a mourning hall... Zhen Yi, it seemed that he couldn't hold on.
Zhen Jiang let out a cry of pain, dismounted and ran into the house.Liu Tao looked at the mourning hall, feeling very complicated...
Chapter 315
"It seems that I'm still a step late..." Liu Tao came to the mourning hall, and the person who received him was Zhen Yu, after all, Zhen Yi's eldest son, even if he was the only one, he had to preside over everything, because he was about to become the head of the family.
He may not be the patriarch of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, but he is the patriarch of Zhen Yi's family. After all, the other sons and daughters have not yet separated.
"I originally planned to come here to treat him, I'm sorry." Liu Tao solemnly apologized to Zhen Yu, and his gesture must be sufficient.
"No, no, the prefect doesn't need to be like this." Zhen Yu hurriedly helped Liu Tao up, "My father's illness came on quickly and deteriorated quickly. When we realized that the situation was critical, we didn't expect it to be three days later. With a snowfall , my father left."
Zhen Jiang was only notified a few days ago that others rushed from Yunzhong to Zhongshan in the winter snow. Judging from the distance, they all knew that they were trying their best to hurry.In this case, no one is qualified to blame Liu Tao, and even wants to say thank you.
Thank him for traveling thousands of miles, coming from the clouds in the middle of winter, this kindness is enough.
After all, Liu Tao is just the fiancé of the Zhen family, and he and Zhen Jiang are not yet married.Zhen Yu knew very well that Zhen Jiang was indeed too young, even if he could get married, as an elder brother, he was a little worried.The initial three-year agreement was also based on this principle.
Under Zhen Yu's leadership, Liu Tao entered the mourning hall, and Zhen Jiang was already lying on the coffin, crying into tears.Dressed in white, Mrs. Zhang slowly came to her side, and comforted her with words.
Sure enough, "women should be pretty and filial." Zhang is also in her 30s this year, and her mature temperament coupled with white filial piety can directly awaken the original impulse of men.Or the man himself, he can't figure out whether he wants to protect her, conquer her, or both at the moment.
Speaking of which, after Zhen Yi's death, Mrs. Zhang never remarried, but silently brought up Zhen Yi's children.From this perspective, she is a qualified, even excellent wife and mother.
"Deran pays respects to mother..." Liu Tao stepped forward to salute. These days, there is no talk about father-in-law and mother-in-law, nor father-in-law and mother-in-law, Tai Shan Tai Shui.
Even Dong Cheng is the cousin of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time because Dong Guiren is his father-in-law.In "Three Kingdoms", the title of "Uncle Xiandi Chariot General Dong Cheng" is used.
Later, Pei Songzhi commented on the Three Kingdoms and said that he would use this title because there was no relationship between the title "zhangren" in ancient times.
Liu Tao didn't know what title he should use, and he couldn't use it rashly, so he used 'mother' as the title.Anyway, even in modern times, it is normal to call father-in-law and mother-in-law like this.
"Deran, I didn't expect to trouble you to go there yourself. I'm really sorry." Mrs. Zhang looked back at Liu Tao, saluted him, and then apologized to him.
I can guess that it should be my daughter begging, so I had to come here.But being able to come here also meant that he really cared about Zhen Jiang, which moved her very much.
Zhen Yi's death means that the patriarch has to choose again, and Zhen Yi's status in the Zhen family is naturally not as good as before.If in the end, the collateral lineage becomes the patriarch, it may be necessary to renegotiate the marriage and arrange another marriage partner.
It is even possible that Zhen Jiang will change from a big wife to a dowry daughter of other clansmen, which is the worst outcome.
Now that Liu Tao came forward and called her 'mother' in public, it also meant that he was on Zhen Yi's line.As far as Liu Tao's current importance to the Zhen family is concerned, his position can solve many problems.
At least, it can save her from many problems.Just yesterday, the day after Zhen Yi passed away, a family member privately revealed that the following subordinates were already thinking about letting her, an 'outsider', give up the power to take over.
After Zhen Yi passed away, she temporarily took over the power of the head of the family, mainly to maintain the normal progress of the family business and various affairs.But in the eyes of many people, she is an 'outsider' after all.The most important thing is that she really lacks enough right to speak.
"Father is seriously ill, and I, the son-in-law-to-be, should also come and have a look." Liu Tao said slowly, "I was still thinking on the way, if I can catch up, I should find a way to save him if he can be cured, but unfortunately it was a step too late .”
He also considered the possibility of feigning death to test the attitude of him or other clansmen.After all, how could someone who died in 186 suddenly die early at the end of 185?
So when he came in, he had already secretly performed vitality regeneration on Zhen Yi, but the magic power only covered him and then dissipated.The failure of the magic power to enter Zhen Yi's body meant that Zhen Yi, who was lying in the coffin, had lost his vitality.
Unlike healing, healing is an externally applied healing effect, using his magic power to replace the vitality of life to heal injuries.But vitality regeneration is different, it is a magic that stimulates the life potential of the human body to promote self-regeneration.
There is no vitality in itself, so naturally there is no way to stimulate it again.Only in this way did he really confirm that Zhen Yi was really dead, and even laughed at himself for a moment if he was a little suspicious.
"Well, you have a marriage contract with Jiang'er, so you are not considered an outsider." Mrs. Zhang nodded, "You can do whatever you want here. After all, what happened now, we can't entertain you well."
"It's okay, I can take care of myself, if you need anything else, just tell me." Liu Tao replied.
