The warm medicine passed from Gu Heyan's mouth, Mu Zhiming smiled and closed his eyes and swallowed it all, then the tip of his tongue wrapped around Gu Heyan's tongue.
Gu Heyan still had the medicine bowl in his hand, and he didn't dare to kiss him too fondly, so he gently pursed Mu Zhiming's lips, loosened his neck and stepped back.
Mu Zhiming raised the corners of his lips: "The medicine that the general fed himself doesn't taste a bit bitter, it's too sweet."
Gu Heyan was speechless and lowered his head to take another sip.
Mu Zhiming smiled and grabbed his wrist to stop him: "Okay, it's just a joke, if you feed a bowl of medicine like this, Dr. Kuang has to knock me on the head."
Gu Heyan: "..."
Mu Zhiming picked up the bowl and drank the rest of the medicine in one gulp.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Tianwu trotted in with a bunch of bamboo slips in his arms: "General, you really are here, I found it! I found it! I found it for me!"
Mu Zhiming called the attendant to bring a chair to Xia Wu: "Don't worry, Doctor Xia, what did you find?"
Xia Xianwu unfolded a bamboo slip and handed it to the two of them: "I found the source of the cold scorpion poison. This poison comes from the southwestern borderland and was made by the Qiandu Valley of the Jianghu forces. Maybe someone in this valley knows the solution to this poison! It's just... this southwestern border is a wild land, with few people and a lot of insects and snakes. The forces of the rivers and lakes are hidden in the valley, and I am afraid it is extremely difficult to find. Also, there are rumors that they want to enter this valley. To ask for medicine, the injured and the sick must go to ask for medicine in person.”
Mu Zhiming cupped his hands: "Thank you, Doctor Xia, for your help, I will definitely seize this chance."
Gu Heyan did not hesitate: "I will accompany you."
Mu Zhiming smiled and said, "General Gu, if you can't go, have you forgotten that the southwestern border is the fief of the King of Shu."
Gu Heyan reacted, his face changed slightly, and his brows furrowed.
Xia Xia Wu is not a member of the court, and his face is full of doubts: "What happened to the fief of the king of Shu Jun? Why can't the general go there? When I was young, I traveled to the southwest frontier.
Mu Zhiming replied, "Because twenty years ago, the king of Shu Jun and the emperor fought for the crown prince."
The struggle for imperial power is fierce and bloody.
Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, he regarded the king of Shu Jun as a serious confidant, but the emperor did not want to be reprimanded for killing his own brothers through the ages.
But everyone knows how hard and turbulent the southwest is.
One has the Zhao State coveting tigers, and the other has the mosquitoes and poisonous miasma invading the body.
It is called a fief, but in fact it is expelled.
The reason why the King of Shu Jun can live is because he has only one daughter. After the lord of the county, he can no longer inherit the title. The King of Shu Jun has a lineage and has been a commoner from now on.
Even so, the emperor was very afraid of the king of Shu Jun and prohibited any generals from going to the southwest, lest they collude with the king of Shu Jun and form a party.
As a first-rank Yulin general, Gu Heyan would have committed the emperor's taboo if he went to the southwest.
The official position was demoted, and the guilt was added to the body.
"Oh, the consequences are so serious." Xia Xianwu was speechless after listening to it, "Then Lord Hou can only bring his guards there."
Gu Heyan frowned: "...No."
Mu Zhiming smiled: "Doctor Xia, please tell my father and mother about this. They should be in the side hall. I will call a servant to lead you there."
"Okay." Xia Wu got up to leave and left the wing.
There was no one else in the wing, Mu Zhiming looked at Gu Heyan: "General..."
Gu Heyan interrupted him and said with a low expression, "I'm not at ease."
Although he said so, Gu Heyan has always been obedient to Mu Zhiming. If Mu Zhiming did not let him follow, he would feel sad, but he would never insist on following.
Mu Zhiming smiled and said: "What? You are so sure, I said to persuade you not to follow?"
Gu Heyan: "..." He looked up at Mu Zhiming, his eyes lit up slightly.
Mu Zhiming held his hand with a hearty smile: "I always said a few days ago that when we have time, we will go on a tour. Now, it seems like a good opportunity."
Three days later, General Gu relapsed due to his many years of fighting, and wrote to the emperor.
The emperor allowed him to take a leave of absence for two months to recuperate, and the military affairs were handed over to General Wei Lingyun.
General Gu thanked the saint, closed his door to recuperate, and refused to see anyone.
At this time, Pei Mansion.
Wen Heyin sat up in shock: "What!!! Young master is going to the southwest border!! I want to go too!!! How can you not take me there!! Young master—"
Pei Hantang pressed him on the bed: "Little thing, your leg is still hurt, don't move."
What do you do when the young couple go for a tour of the mountains and water?
Wen Heyin shouted unwillingly, "Master—"
In a tea shed on the outskirts of the capital, Mu Zhiming: "Ah!"
