Chapter 107 Zhang Ji Resigns

Man Wang is a very enlightened old man.

In fact, after General Fubo Ma Yuan conquered the Wuxi Man, the Wuxi Man tried to absorb the culture of the Han people in many ways.

After listening to Shamoke's statement, the barbarian king looked curiously at Dong Pi and then at Dian Wei.

After pondering for a moment, he said little by little: "Shasha, it's very good that you have such an idea, and I am also very happy. In fact, since last year, I have been worrying about your future. You are so proud that you don't even bother to accept things from the Han people. The fact In fact, I have said long ago that although the Han people are cunning, they also have real warriors. Fortunately, you met them."

"Father, have you agreed to my request?"

The barbarian king didn't answer Sha Moke's question, but walked to Dong Pi's table and served him a pot of wine.

"Han Chinese warrior, I am very glad that you have taught my Sha Sha that in the words of your Han people, there are mountains beyond the mountains and sky beyond the sky. It is his blessing that Sha Sha can meet a Chinese warrior of his age at this age. I heard Shasha said, your father is the prefect of Hedong. You should be of noble origin. I very much hope that Shasha can follow you and learn something from the Han people...Of course, I hope you can give me a guarantee that he will not be harmed. .”

Dong Bi stood up and took the wine from the barbarian king.

"Lord Barbarian King, I'm sorry, I can't give you a guarantee. It's a very good thing that Shasha wants to go out. But I can't guarantee whether he can come back alive. It all depends on him, on his own good fortune."

The smile on the barbarian king's face suddenly faded.

He looked at Dong Chuan quietly, without saying a word.The atmosphere in the simple house seemed to become very tense all of a sudden.

Sha Sha held his breath, Dian Wei couldn't help but clenched the eucalyptus tightly.

Suddenly, the barbarian king burst out laughing.

"I'm relieved... Han Chinese warrior, if you agreed without hesitation just now, I would think that you have evil intentions. You are very honest, and Shasha will not suffer if you follow an honest warrior. Well, I don't need you It is up to him to ensure his safety. But I hope you can give him a chance and teach him well."

Dong Yu said solemnly: "You will definitely live up to the high expectations of the barbarian king!"

In a word, Sha Moke smiled and showed two canine teeth.

Living in Samoke's home, Dong Bi felt like he had returned to his previous life.

It was a very peaceful, simple life without any fights and intrigues.The Wuxi barbarian's way of life is very simple, and it really echoes an old saying: work at sunrise and rest at sunset.They have a very clear division of labor, either hunting or farming.Use the fruits of labor to conduct some transactions with the Han people outside the mountains.

Dong Bi didn't understand why the court said that such a group of people were stubborn?
It was only when I chatted with Shasha that I understood some clues.It turns out that the aristocratic families in the nine prefectures of Jingxiang are no less than those in the Central Plains, and it is even said that their foundation is stronger.These aristocratic families control almost everything in the Jingxiang Nine Counties...land, business, politics and even the military.

From Shasha's mouth, I learned that the regular officers and troops in the Jing and Yang areas are actually nothing to worry about.

What is really scary is the private soldiers of those aristocratic families.These private soldiers are not only better equipped than the official army, but even outnumbered.They often captured Wuxi Man and Shanyue people and returned them as slaves.And controlling the sources of livelihood of ethnic minorities such as the Wuxi Man from all aspects has also caused the conflict between these ethnic minorities and the Han people to intensify.

Dong Bi fell into deep thought: No wonder the imperial court sometimes suppressed scholar-bureaucrats.

Indeed, the scholar-bureaucrat class with such terrifying energy has already posed a huge threat to the Han Dynasty.Presumably there are so many smart people in the court who can't fail to see this.But what if you see it?Still helpless.

Dong Bi shook his head helplessly, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him.

Even the court can't solve the matter, let alone try to solve it.It's better to protect your family well, and don't think too much about other things.

However, Dong Bi and Dian Wei were very interested in Shasha's mount.

According to Shasha himself, his cow is a foreign species, or it was bought by his father from the Nanman area with a lot of money.

Wuxi Man lacked horses, but not infantry.

Almost every Wuxi barbarian man stood up and was a qualified fighter.Without horses, they had to think of other ways.

This cow can not only walk on mountain roads as if walking on flat ground, but also run at a speed no worse than a war horse on the plain.

Moreover, the stamina of cattle is much better than that of ordinary horses.

When I exchanged this cow, I wanted to be a breeding cow.Unexpectedly, this bull is very ferocious, and the pair of horns on its head even killed many Wuxi barbarian warriors.Later, Shamoko, who was still 12 years old, took it in and it became his special mount.In the entire Wuxi Man, except for Sha Moke, it can be said that no one can get close to this cow.

"Brother Ah Chou, you have read the book, give my cow a name."

Sha Mo Ke is thirteen days younger than Dong Bi, and is just over 14 years old.This guy is not convinced all his life, but once he is convinced, he will be sincere.First he was defeated by Dong Pi, and then he was beaten submissively by Dian Wei in the contest with Dian Wei.

So now when he saw Dong Pi and Dian Wei, he would call each other brother.

Dong Bi looked at the cow that was snoozing under the tree, thought for a while and said, "This guy's horns are as red as red lacquer... I have heard that there is an animal called rhinoceros, which is of the same family as the cow. Well... ...Dan Xi, what do you think of calling it Dan Xi?"

Dan rhinoceros?

Shamoke tilted his head and yelled twice, then shouted loudly: "Danxi, good name, let's call it Danxi!"

At this time, Sha Moke, who had lost the bravery of wrestling with Dong Bi earlier, clapped his hands and laughed like a child.

The Bison Danxi seemed to be very satisfied with the name, and raised its head and barked twice to show its approval.

The person who kidnapped Zhang Ji was indeed King Ke of Laolongling.

His beloved wife was seriously ill, her whole body was swollen, and she even found it difficult to breathe.Sometimes when you cough, you not only cough up a big mouthful of blood clots, but it is even accompanied by a heart-piercing pain.The doctors in the Wuling area were helpless, but Ke Dawang is also a very violent person. When he saw that his wife could not be cured, he had the heart to kill.

In desperation, those doctors involved Zhang Ji.

From their point of view, Zhang Ji was the prefect of Changsha. Even if the Wuxi barbarians were arrogant, would they still dare to go to Changsha to kidnap people?
It's a pity that these doctors neglected a son's love for his mother.

King Ke still hesitated, but his son couldn't bear his mother's daily pain.He sneaked out of Laolongling with his confidants.There was nothing wrong at first, if they saw Zhang Ji, maybe Zhang Ji would come over on his own initiative.But when the Han people in Changsha saw them, they became hostile.It is no wonder that the grievances between the Wuxi Man and the Han people have been going on for many years, and even as far back as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, the grievances are too deep.

These Wuxi barbarians all had weapons in their hands, and the officers and soldiers asked them to hand them over.

Maybe it was some differences in the way of expression, and the two sides immediately clashed.Especially after the officers and soldiers killed a Wuxi barbarian, these already rough people were enraged at once, and the two sides fought.

But the official army is no match for the Wuxi barbarians!
King Na Ke's son did nothing but rush into the government office with his men, kidnapped Zhang Ji, and killed hundreds of people.

By the time King Ke finds out, it's too late.

Although King Ke is also a very rough person, he has much more things to consider than his son.

Kidnapping the imperial court official means that the Wuxi Man will face disaster again.

Just when he felt embarrassed, Samoko sent someone.Explain the matter clearly, and tell King Na Ke that as long as he does not hurt Zhang Ji, it will be treated as if this incident did not happen, and Zhang Ji can treat his wife first.

After King Ke agreed, Dong Bi and Dian Wei came to Laolongling immediately.

At this moment, Dong Bi also remembered who this machine was.The famous medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, many stories about him will be circulated in the future.Dong Bi is not clear about Zhang Zhongjing's deeds.I didn't even know that this Zhongjing was from the Three Kingdoms period.In his previous life, he knew from some old people that this person was amazing. Even in the county where he went to school, there was a pharmacy named after Zhang Zhongjing.

If it was in the past, Dong Bi might be very excited.

But now... Hehe, he is really numb.

Zhang Ji is over 40 years old.But I don't know if it's because he was born with a baby face, or if he has taken good care of it, his complexion and charm look like he is in his early thirties.He looks gentle, with a bookish air.In those deep eyes, one can feel a kind of compassionate temperament.When Dong Bi saw him, he was treating people.

King Ke's wife is suffering from a common mountain disease.

Only due to improper conditioning, complications occurred, and even emphysema, which is called modern medicine, appeared.

This disease is difficult to cure and requires long-term recuperation.

Zhang Ji wrote a prescription, put it in King Ke's hand, and carefully reminded him several times.King Ke thanked him gratefully, and asked his son to go out to collect the medicine with the prescription.At this time, Zhang Jicai and Dong Bi had a chance to talk.

"Master Yu's kindness, I have taken it seriously!"

Zhang Ji and Dong Bi walked on the old Longling, showing a sad expression from time to time.He said softly: "But Ji doesn't want to go back to Changsha... After being an official for so many years, Zhang Ji almost forgot his duty. In the early years of Nanyang epidemic, Ji watched his parents and family... At that time, Zhang Ji swore, We must use this medical skill in the right place to relieve the suffering of the common people. But after becoming an official, I was busy with those trivial matters and socializing every day, but I forgot the oath of the year. I have been confused all these years, Mr. You, when I saw these people, Zhang Jicai I feel very useful."

"But……"

"My lord, don't try to persuade me. I have been hesitating for the past two days, and I didn't make up my mind until today. The career of an official is not what Zhang Ji likes. I would like to stay here. On the one hand, I will treat these people, on the other hand I also want to sort out some of my experience over the years. I will write a memorial, please help me to bring it to my student."

Dong Bi thought for a while and said softly: "My lord, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your students. Besides, you don't want to be an official, I can understand. But you don't have to stay here, the environment It's too sinister."

"Is it dangerous?" Zhang Ji said with a smile, "I think it's much simpler and safer here."

Dong Bi wanted to persuade him again, but Zhang Ji waved his hand, "My lord, the Bank of China has a simple mind and is really not suitable for being an official. If I am here, I can still protect him. If I am not... Hehe, Zhang Ji has a request. I want to ask Mr. You to take care of my stupid apprentice. Your father is also a member of the imperial court. You... Although I don’t understand it, I may feel that you are a good person. It is also good for the Bank of China to stay by your side. At least for minor illnesses and disasters , can help."

Speaking of this, Dong Bi couldn't say anything more!

Why did everyone who saw him say he was a good guy?Why no matter who it is, you have to put it on him?

The barbarian king is like this, and so is Zhang Ji.

Ha, I didn't expect that the ancients would already use the good person card.

Well, in this way, I'm afraid there will be one more person by my side.

Dong Bi thought about it, nodded helplessly, with a wry smile on his face, "Master Zhang, don't worry, you will definitely take good care of him."
