Chapter 127
Zhan Zhao leaped down lightly, drew the Juque back to the scabbard, then turned around and saluted Zhao Zhen: "Your escort is late, hope Your Majesty will be happy."
Zhao Zhen and all the ministers were dragged back from the emptiness by Zhan Zhao, and they couldn't help sweating profusely, but seeing the sullen girl with the snake tail in the field, her expression seemed to have fallen short .
This girl is actually Long Yan in the Wuhe Sect. Not only does she have a snake-tailed body, but she can also perform a kind of coquettish technique. People who are skilled in the technique will fall into it and let them be manipulated. She was just about to succeed in going to the throne to seduce the soul of the little emperor. Unexpectedly, being interrupted by Zhan Zhao suddenly, the magic weapon made everyone wake up!
Zhao Zhen coughed twice, thinking that it's good that Zhan Zhao came, otherwise all the officials and him would lose their dignity in front of the Xixia people. When he calmed down, he raised his hand and said, "Get up."
Zhan Zhao got up, looked around, saw Li Yuanhao beckoning to Long Yan, Long Yan reluctantly swam over, and the tail of the snake dragged out a series of winding arcs.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates have found a cure for the disease 'Fire Snake's Spot', and the disease in the capital will be alleviated in a short time!"
As soon as Zhan Zhao said this, everyone exclaimed again, and Zhao Zhen couldn't help but stood up and said eagerly: "Is this really true? Have you found Hulancao?"
Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "This recipe is not Hulancao."
"Tsk." Li Yuanhao, who was playing with a wine glass, said disdainfully, "I'm still thinking about how powerful Mr. Zhan is, to make this situation... Tsk tsk, this is not Hulancao, it can't cure fire snake spot at all, you, please don't Use your so-called good prescription to show your shame!"
The Xixia envoys echoed one after another.
Zhan Zhao looked at Li Yuanhao and said, "There are tens of thousands of herbs in this world, how can the King of Xixia conclude that only Hulancao can cure fire snake spots, and nothing else?"
"Why don't I know, we put this disease..." Li Yuanhao paused, and almost told the whole story in order to show his tongue, but fortunately he woke up in time, and changed the subject, "This disease is We... used Hulancao to cure it, we tried other medicines, but they didn't work."
Zhan Zhao laughed and said: "My medicine is the ancestor of Hulancao. Not only is the effect better than Hulancao, but it also greatly shortens the healing time. Hulancao is incomparable!"
"Blow it and go!" Li Yuanhao sneered, "I didn't expect the famous Yumao Zhan Zhao to be a cowhide king. This cowhide blows so loudly that it's ridiculous!"
"You do not believe?"
"I don't believe it."
Zhan Zhao nodded: "Alright then, I wonder if the King of Xixia brought Hulancao here?"
Li Yuanhao looked at Zhan Zhao, not understanding the meaning of his question, but he had told Zhao Zhen before that Hulancao was still in Xixia, so he couldn’t admit that Hulancao was transported here and hidden by him, so he said: “I only brought a few for cooking. For self-defense, what?"
"Since this is the case, why don't we use our own medicines to see whose healing effect and speed are faster?"
"What?" Li Yuanhao froze for a moment, never expecting Zhan Zhao to make such a request.
"The king of Xixia dare not compare?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, I will be afraid?" Li Yuanhao stood up dissatisfied, pointed at Zhan Zhao and said, "Tell me, how do you compare?"
"To show fairness, when we treat the same patient, we treat the acne on his arm at the same time. After the treatment, the two sides compare each other to see whoever recovers better is the winner."
Li Yuanhao smiled and said: "Okay, anyway, external application of Hulancao can relieve acne, and oral administration can heal inflammation. However, the patient you are looking for must have acne on both arms to the same degree, otherwise it will not count."
"This is natural. Before the doctor's consultation, the King of Xixia can compare the symptoms of the two arms in person. If there is any objection, the King of Xixia can choose the hand with less spots for treatment."
"That's not necessary. It seems that we Xixia people are stingy." Li Yuanhao touched his chin and said again, "Then tell me, so what if you win, so what if you lose?"
Zhan Zhao couldn't make up his own mind on this issue, so he had to look at Zhao Zhen who was sitting on the throne. Seeing that all eyes were on him, Zhao Zhen thought for a while and asked Zhan Zhao, "Are you sure?"
As soon as these words came out, he immediately remembered that a few years ago, when Xixia was still Xiping Wang Li Deming, he once asked Zhan Zhao to challenge four in front of the imperial court. At that time, he asked Zhan Zhao the same way.
Unexpectedly, time has changed and we are facing the same situation now, but last time it was Li Deming who provoked it, but this time, it was Zhan Zhao who suggested it...
Was it suggested by Zhan Zhao? !
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he understood a little bit. Before Zhan Zhao could give a reply, he said to Li Yuanhao: "If the King of Xixia wins, then I will agree to the three demands you said today!"
Li Yuanhao was startled, he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to gamble so much, and he was stunned holding the wine glass for a while.
The grand master Pang couldn't sit still for a while, and was about to make a sound when he was grabbed and pressed down by the eight sage kings. Grand master Pang said anxiously: "My lord, why don't you stop it? You can gamble on this matter? What if you lose?" manage?"
The Eighth Sage King patted Taishi Pang on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Taishi, think about it in another direction. Even if we don't agree to the three requirements of Xixia, can our 50 elite soldiers stop them?" Live in the heart of Xixia's invasion? It's just a matter of burning everything, not to mention the Liao Kingdom is watching over there, but now, we have an opportunity for Xixia to voluntarily give up these three requirements. Shouldn't we hope that Zhanwei will win more beautifully? "
Grand Master Pang sat down, thought carefully about the words of the Eight Sage Kings, and fell silent.
Zhao Zhen asked back: "Then if the King of Xixia loses, what should we do?"
Li Yuanhao suddenly lost his voice. At this time, a Xixia envoy beside him whispered something in his ear. After hearing this, Li Yuanhao's expression suddenly returned to his original arrogance.
"Since Your Majesty has said so, it is a show of sincerity. If we lose, not only will we take back the three demands we made today, but we will also pay tribute to the Song Dynasty every year as before. Moreover, I personally issued an order to shave my hair and take the lead. Shave your hair and apologize to Er Dasong!"
"Okay, let's say it!"
Li Yuanhao continued: "It's hard to catch a four-horse horse!"
"Then the competition will be at Sishi tomorrow."
……
After the dinner party was over, Li Yuanhao went back to his residence. As soon as he opened the door of his room, he saw the ghostly old man lying on his couch drinking wine. Said, only gourd grass can be cured?"
The ghost gave him a blank look: "Bullshit, the old man is plagued, can something go wrong?"
"Then Zhan Zhao and his swearing appearances don't seem to be lying to me, do they?"
The ghost hiccupped loudly: "They really didn't lie to you. He and Bai Yutang just came back from Linzhou, and they brought the old lair of the Wuhe Sect and robbed the orchid grass stored by the Wuhe Sect."
"What?" Li Yuanhao was taken aback, "Then you still want me to bet with him? So, they also have Hulancao in their hands?"
Gui Shen smirked and said: "You bastard, I really can't hold back, the Lord has long expected that something bad will happen to the two of them going to Linzhou, so Hu Lancao, who was prepared in the Wuhe Sect, has already been manipulated, and they will never win us of."
"The Holy One also knows about this?"
"I know, it's just that you don't know, otherwise the play won't be good."
Li Yuanhao was speechless, and after a long while he was still curious: "Then what did you do to the Hu Lancao of Wuhe Sect?"
Gui Shen took a sip of the wine and said with a smile, "It's been poisoned. Don't worry, we're sure to win tomorrow's competition. When the time comes, watch Zhao Zhen cry and regret that he trusted Zhan Zhao and the others!"
Li Yuanhao is still a little worried: "Don't worry too much, the orchid grass we brought with Wuhejiao is exactly half and half, don't ask Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to replace your orchid grass with poisonous ones. Time backfires."
The ghost wiped his mouth, then wiped his hands on the pillow: "Hey hey, there are our people in the Kaifeng mansion, and we know exactly what tricks they use. Do you think the master is as stupid as you? Let me tell you, tomorrow We already know who you are going to heal."
"who is it?"
Gui Shen smiled obscenely as if he could feast on it right away: "Gongsun Ce."
……
It's time the next day.
Everyone gathered in front of the hall again, it was about the fate of the country, and everyone looked like they were waiting in line. Li Yuanhao looked left and right, and seeing that the Song officials were so nervous, he felt a little proud at once, and couldn't help urging: "Your Majesty, Si Shi It's here, hurry up and ask the patient who needs treatment to come out, stop moaning."
Zhao Zhen looked at Zhan Zhao when he heard the words, and Zhan Zhao took the order to leave. After a while, he really invited Mr. Gongsun to the stage.
At this time, Mr. Gongsun's neck and limbs were already covered with fire snake spots. Obviously, the condition was already serious.
When Li Yuanhao saw that it was really Gongsun Ce, he began to laugh and said, "Hahahahaha, don't tell me, the patient who needs to be treated is your so-called genius doctor Gongsun Ce, right? You Song people, are you too shameful?!"
Zhan Zhao said: "Mr. unfortunately got infected with fire snake spot in order to treat doctors and patients. Both arms are already covered with fire snake spot. You can compare the degree of infection on both hands of sir. Besides, sir is proficient in medical skills, and his own He is very clear about the extent of the effect of the medicine. Even if the erythema does not go away, we can ask him which side feels better after taking the medicine. To show justice, we will cover Mr.'s eyes and not tell him which side we choose. Whether it is the left hand or the right hand, so that his judgment on the medicine will not be biased."
Li Yuanhao walked up to Gongsun Ce, pulled his hand away for comparison, and called the doctor from Xixia again: "Look, is he really a fire snake spot? Don't let the Song people pretend to be other and take advantage of the loopholes." .”
The doctor examined Gongsun Ce, and then replied: "That's right, this gentleman is suffering from fire snake spot."
Seeing that Li Yuanhao had lost his voice, Zhan Zhao said, "Since the king of Xixia has finished the inspection and has no objections, then we will start the competition."
Then he nodded to Gongsun Ce, and Gongsun Ce covered his eyes. Li Yuanhao waved his hand in front of the blindfolded Gongsun Ce, thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to give him another shot." Covered with a layer of black cloth."
Zhan Zhao said, "Okay."
At this time, even the always cynical Eight Wise Kings became a little nervous: "Old Bao, Zhan Zhao and the others, are they okay?"
Bao Zheng paused for a moment: "My lord, don't you know? I thought you were also one of the planners..."
The Eighth Sage King hissed: "Why does it sound like you don't know if they can do this?"
"I thought you knew, my lord..."
"That's a good thing, this king also thinks Bao Xiang is clear..."
"..."
