Chapter 605 What the old monk said(2/2)
Tian Chong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I'm afraid my master won't take the risk to the disaster area easily.
Liu Maohai was wearing a gorgeous brocade dress, with exquisite patterns embroidered on his sleeves, and a belt inlaid with gems around his waist, making him look elegant and luxurious.
He stepped into the tent, looked straight at Tuoba Lu with a firm look, and said straight to the point: "I am the emperor's bloodline. Now the whole world is under the control of Xi Yu, and I really can't calm my anger. I also know that Tuoba Lu must also want to attack the Central Plains. Instead of fighting each other, it is better for us to cooperate."
Tuoba Lu's face changed, his eyes stared at Liu Maohai with sharp eyes, and shouted sternly: "Come here, take him down and ask for guilt! I don't have such an idea!"
Liu Maohai laughed loudly, he held his head up and said confidently: "Tuoba Lu, you are just testing me."
A trace of surprise flashed in Tuoba Lu's eyes, but he quickly recovered from calmness.
He waved his hand and asked his subordinates to let Liu Maohai go quickly, and then said with a smile: "Haha, Brother Liu is indeed extremely intelligent. I did use a plan just now. Now I have confirmed that what Brother Liu said is true."
He came forward in person, took Liu Maohai's hand, invited him to the seat, and said enthusiastically: "Brother Liu, please sit down. From now on, you will be my guest of honor."
Tuoba Lu frowned and said in a deep tone: "Since last winter, many people have had such thoughts. Why should we live in this harsh environment and why can't we step into the prosperous and splendid world of the Central Plains? However, I have sent an envoy to negotiate with Xi Yu, and everything will be decided after the envoy returns."
Liu Maohai's face instantly became gloomy.
He widened his eyes and shouted indignantly: "Sending an envoy to go is a waste of time! It is best to attack the Central Plains directly!"
A trace of doubt flashed in Tuoba Lu's eyes. He stared at Liu Maohai and questioned: "Can you have soldiers? Could it be that you are borrowing my power?"
Liu Maohai's lips raised slightly and he said confidently: "I do have soldiers and have been recruiting people secretly over the years." A hint of pride was revealed in his eyes.
When Tuoba Lu heard this, his face suddenly became very ugly. He glared and shouted angrily: "Those are just scattered soldiers. How can they be compared with my regular army?"
Liu Maohai disagreed. He straightened his body and responded confidently: "My soldiers are not weak! And the key is that my bloodline is pure. If I win this time, I will be willing to divide the country equally with you Tuobalu."
A hint of heart moved in Tuoba Lu's eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment.
Seeing this, Liu Maohai continued: "Now there are plagues in several places in the Central Plains, which is an excellent opportunity to attack."
Tuoba Lu finally nodded, with a decisive look on his face.
He looked at Liu Maohai and said slowly, "Okay, I agree. Then, let's start studying the next combat plan."
In a place in the whole province, several doctors were surrounding Song Shuwen, and their faces were filled with excitement.
One of the doctors said excitedly: "We have finally developed a drug to treat the plague!"
Song Shuwen also showed a hint of relief on his face, but he quickly frowned again and said, "However, experiments are still needed, and it cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely effective."
Hearing this, the excitement on the faces of several doctors disappeared instantly, replaced by a disappointed expression.
A doctor said dissatisfiedly: "Doesn't this treat people as experimental works?"
Song Shuwen sighed helplessly and said, "We have no other better choice except this method." A hint of worry and firmness revealed in his eyes.
After hearing Song Shuwen's words, the doctors showed even more embarrassing expressions on their faces.
One of the doctors frowned and said, "This is too risky. What if something goes wrong?"
Song Shuwen gritted his teeth and said, "I know it's a risky one, but it's the only thing we can do right now. We can't watch more people lose their lives due to the plague."
Another doctor sighed and said, "Oh, this is the only way. But I hope this drug can really work."
Song Shuwen nodded and said, "We will do our best. Everyone should work harder and step up the experiments to find a way to cure the plague as soon as possible."
County Ma Lin hurried to Guan Yu and bowed and said, "General Guan, you must have heard of what happened in the whole province. Those doctors and Song Shuwen have developed drugs to treat the plague, but Song Shuwen said that experiments are needed and cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely effective."
When Guan Yu heard this, his brow frowned and fell into deep thought.
His thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and a hint of worry was revealed in his eyes.
After a while, Guan Yu slowly spoke: "Song Shuwen's medical skills are indeed superb. It is not easy for him to be able to develop drugs. But he said that he needed to do an experiment, and it seems that the situation is not optimistic."
Marin nodded, with a worried expression on his face and said, "Yes, General Guan, this matter is related to the lives of many people, which is really worrying."
Guan Yu raised his head and looked at the county magistrate Ma Lin. His eyes were firm and powerful, and he said, "Mr. Ma, don't be pessimistic. Song Shuwen is skilled in medical skills, and maybe he can really develop good medicines and have good results. When this matter is achieved, I will quickly go to Qingzhou to tell the Prime Minister."
After hearing Guan Yu's words, the worries on his face were slightly relieved.
He nodded and said, "General Guan said very well, and hopes that a good turnaround will occur as the general said."
The night in Qingzhou is like thick ink, covering the earth.
Xi Yu sat alone in the room, feeling worried.
He didn't know what was going on in Quanzhou, whether the epidemic was under control, and whether Song Shuwen and the others had made progress.
Time passed little by little, and it was late at night, and the lights in Xi Yu's room were still on.
At this time, Cheng Yu came to his door and knocked on the door gently.
"Prime Minister, it's time for you to rest, don't worry too much." Cheng Yu's voice sounded outside the door.
Xi Yu stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door. He looked at Cheng Yu, with a wry smile on his face, and said, "I can't sleep at all, and I always think about the things in the whole province."
Cheng Yu walked into the room and looked at Xi Yu's tired face, feeling heartbroken.
"Prime Minister, don't worry too much, everything will be fine."
Xi Yu nodded.
Late at night, everything was silent, and the moonlight shone through the window lattice on the desk.
Liu Bei was sitting in the study, focusing on the books in his hand.
At this time, a little eunuch hurried over and said softly: "Lord, someone asked for a visit at the palace gate and called himself Liu Maohai."
When Liu Bei heard this, he was slightly stunned, and the book in his hand couldn't help but stop.
He frowned and thought to himself who Liu Maohai was.
"Come in quickly!" Liu Bei thought for a moment and ordered. After a while, a figure appeared at the door of the study. Liu Bei looked up and saw Liu Maohai appear in front of him.
Liu Maohai sat down with a swagger, with a confident smile on his face, as if he was a long-time friend of Liu Bei.
He said generously: "I went to Xianbei today and have a big plan! I'm going to work together to destroy the Xiyu. I just don't know what your opinion will be on this?"
Liu Bei frowned slightly, stared at Liu Maohai, his tone with a little puzzled look: "This movie is not easy to deal with. Do you really have the confidence to win?"
Liu Maohai suddenly burst into laughter, with a hint of joking in his tone.
"Hahaha, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you finally show your fox's tail!"
When Liu Bei heard this, his face instantly turned red and his forehead was bulging.
He roared angrily: "I'm talking sincerely. How dare you make fun of me like this!"
Seeing Liu Bei angry, Liu Maohai seemed particularly happy.
But he immediately became serious.
"Okay, let's get back to the point, I won't make fun of you anymore. So what do you think about this? Are you willing to oppose Xi Yu with us?"
Liu Bei sighed but said nothing.
