.

When Buyi heard that Li Yuan was sick, he felt a little depressed.

"He hasn't given me a gift yet, why is he sick?"

"He may not know what gift to you, so he became ill." Li Jing smiled and said, "I remember he had been sick once, and that time the Lord was suspicious of him. He was afraid that he would be killed when he saw the Lord, so he called him sick. As a result, the Lord was furious and asked him if he had died, which scared him to death for several months."

Li Jing said this and got up and left, but before leaving, he said, "Li Yuan was sick this time just right."

Xiao Buyi understood Li Jing's meaning a little and curled his lips, "Now the dead people will give me a gift when they see me, the general, let alone a patient, without regrets, don't you think so?"

Fang Wuhui no longer considered Xiao Buyi as a hero for the country and the people. He felt that Lord Xiao had the potential to be a corrupt official.

Xiao Buyi's depression is understandable. After all, it is a very awkward thing to let the future founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty give gifts. He is very excited about Li Yuan coming to give gifts.

But even he could not see where Li Yuan was. After thinking about it, it was not difficult to understand. Those who were too arrogant, such as Yang Xuangan, Li Hun and his group of people had been eradicated one by one by Yang Guang. Even the previous Yuwen clan was killed by Yang Guang's old man. With such an emperor, it would be a disaster. Although the clans had been divided for more than 300 years to the unification of the Sui Dynasty, the waves were surging and could overthrow a dynasty at any time. Yang Guang seemed to be too hasty. He wanted to solve internal and external troubles together, but he did not know that it would cost his life if the internal and external erupted.

"Mr. Li is sick, I have to go and see it," Xiao Buyi stood up and made a decision. "No regrets, prepare some gifts."

"Ah?" Fang Wuhui was a little surprised and thought to himself that he didn't know what kind of wind was blowing today. But if he didn't ask much, he would have prepared a gift list quickly.

After being with Lord Xiao for a long time, Fang Wuhui didn't learn anything else, and his familiarity with the gift list was better than others. Fang Wuhui felt that Xiao Buyi trusted him very much, which was his blessing. Lord Xiao actually had a lot of people around him, not more than him, not less than him. But because he did something and said a few words, Xiao Buyi brought him to his side. From then on, he changed his life.

Lord Xiao is laughing at me, but I will never forget what I said to my brother's subordinates.

Seeing Fang Wuhui busy, Xiao Buyi suddenly asked, "Wuhui, do you have family?"

Fang Wuhui laughed and said, "Of course there are. They are all in Mayi City. I am a city soldier, so I can live in Mayi City. I have my mother and wife, and a young son of a few years. Why did Lord Xiao suddenly remember to ask these questions?"

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "It feels good to be home."

Fang Wuhui smiled silly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"I have something I want you to help with, go to Mayi City. Also, give more money to your family. Don't be polite, just say my instructions."

"Don't Lord Xiao need me anymore?" Fang Wuhui was a little worried.

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Of course it is necessary. After you finish your work, you will come back soon if you want to come back. You must know that the people who follow me have always been like duckweed and will never know where the next stop is. Give you a few days to go home and get together with your family. Maybe it will take another year and a half when you meet your family again. When you are not here, leave more money for your family."

When he said this, his expression was a little lonely. Fang Wuhui looked at Xiao Buyi and felt very grateful.

"Mr. Xiao, where are your family members? But are they all in Dongdu?"

"My family?" Xiao Buyi was a little distracted and said for a while: "That's right."

Fang Wuhui asked a lot, "What did Lord Xiao ask me to do?"

Xiao Buyi lowered his voice and said, "Help me find out about a person's whereabouts. If you can find the local language, no matter what method you use, you will bring him back to Taiyuan..."

**

When Xiao Buyi came to Li Yuan's residence, he was thinking about Li Yuan's condition.

He is not a doctor, and even if Li Jing doesn't wake up, he still thinks Li Yuan's illness is strange. He has been practicing Yi Jin for a long time. Although he is not as accurate as a monk, Xiao Buyi knows the external manifestations of full essence, qi and blood. Li Yuan was still energetic a few days ago, and he doesn't look like he is going to get sick no matter how he is sick. At this time, did he know that he was on the target of public criticism and deliberately kept his door closed?

Li Yuan was an old slippery man. When Xiao Buyi was thinking about this, he followed the servants to Li Yuan's room.

When he arrived at the courtyard, he smelled the strong smell of medicine. Xiao Buyi sniffed it and felt that Li Yuan was very sick.

The servant took Xiao Buyi to Li Yuan's room and came in to report. Before the servant finished speaking, Li Yuan's room was already angry: "General Xiao is here, please come in when he comes. What else do you want to ask me! Hurry up, help me to welcome General Xiao."

Immediately afterwards, a few coughs came from the ground, and she looked like she was out of breath. Xiao Buyi had to push the door and go in. Seeing that Li Yuan was already dragging his sick body out of bed, panting.

Xiao Buyi took a few steps to support Li Yuan and said apologetically: "Mr. Li, please rest more. I was going to see you. If you are tired of Lord Li, it would be my fault."

The room is quite neat, but it smells so good that it makes people feel heavy.

There was a medicine bowl on the table next to the bed, and it was so dark that it was impossible to tell what it was.

Li Yuan didn't know whether it was urgent or hot, his forehead was covered with sweat. Hearing Xiao Buyi's comfort, he said gratefully: "General Xiao has been in Taiyuan for some time and has been busy with affairs. Actually, I wanted to visit General Xiao, but I didn't expect that the continuous battles over the past six months were not strong enough. A few days ago, I felt a cold and couldn't get sick. I was really old."

Xiao Buyi sighed: "Mr. Li is a pillar of the country. He is busy all day long and it is also hard to recruit and conquer. Now that overwork has become ill, I am really worried. I just hope that Master Li will get better as soon as possible."

Li Yuan finally returned to the bed and sighed, "I also hope to improve sooner. Now that bandits are rampant, Shanxi cannot avoid it. I have been appointed by the emperor and should do my best to fight the bandits and quell the rebellion. I didn't expect this disease..."

"Mr. Li can recover from his illness with peace of mind."

Li Yuan was a little moved and grabbed Xiao Buyi's hand with both hands and said, "Fortunately, General Xiao is still here. General Xiao leads troops to fight in the east and west. He has made great contributions. In my eyes, General Zhang is no longer allowed. I think that General Zhang is in the east of the Sui Dynasty and General Xiao is in the west. The emperor is restless."

Xiao Buyi had always wanted to tell the truth about Li Yuan's words, but he found that he could not tell.

Li Yuan was very moved, his eyes were red, and Lao Huai's relief was what made everyone who saw him feel. This person was indeed loyal to the Great Sui. His current performance and actions were all about the Great Sui, even if he was sick.

"Mr. Li really respects me. In fact, for the Sui Dynasty, a veteran like Mr. Li is the most precious wealth."

"The most precious wealth?" Li Yuan was a little surprised and Xiao Buyi described it.

Xiao Buyi coughed, "I mean, having loyal ministers like Lord Li is really a blessing for the Great Sui Dynasty."

Li Yuan finally showed a smile on his face in sweat, which made him look like a child bride who suffered all his grievances and suffered all his hardships.

The general was joking. In fact, in my eyes, General Xiao is a blessing for young talents. I am old, but I am also lucky to see the rise of people like General Xiao.”

The two of them praised each other for a few words, testing the truth and reality. Li Yuan coughed a few more times. Then he said, "General Xiao is quite understanding of the emperor's will. I wonder if there is a saying that should be asked or not?"

"Please speak with Lord Li."

Li Yuan looked at Xiao Buyi in front of him and felt that he was very different from before. But the only similarity was that he would never hope to draw any useful things from what Xiao Buyi said. And according to his intuition, he always felt that Xiao Buyi seemed to have a very strange expression towards him.

"This is the location left behind in Taiyuan..." Li Yuan coughed again, "I wonder who Lord Xiao thinks will be suitable?"

Xiao Buyi shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, of course, the emperor is appointed by the emperor, but I don't know much about the emperor's intentions. However, in my opinion, Lord Li is calm in his military use and does not make a quick move, which should be more suitable than General Pan Changwen."

Li Yuan's face turned pale and waved his hand, "I am not suitable for me. Don't joke with this General Xiao. To be honest, I am worried about this matter. When General Xiao comes, I want to speak up. I just hope that General Xiao will not blame me for being too verbally."

"Please speak with Lord Li."

"In my opinion, General Xiao is the only one who stays in Taiyuan." Li Yuan looked at Xiao Buyi sincerely, "General Xiao, I am old, the only thing I want is to spend my old age. It is just that the emperor trusts him, so he dare not slacken. General Xiao defeated tens of thousands of bandits with thousands of Sui soldiers. He is really the unspoken person to stay in Taiyuan. If one day the emperor asks me who is suitable for the position of stay in Taiyuan, I will definitely recommend General Xiao!"

He said it firmly and sincerely. Xiao Buyi thought in his heart that this old ghost is doing a good job, and you also know that the emperor will not ask you, so he said with a slap in his chest.

I just saw you dying of illness, and now I feel energetic. It may seem that the show is very big, but you and I can't control this position now. What's the point of selling me a short favor?

When he thought about it, Xiao Buyi was a little surprised and thought that Li Yuan was indeed cunning. He knew that he was powerful and did not want to offend him. But he felt that he had a great hope of getting this position, otherwise he would not have come to Taiyuan City in person, saying that he was a comforting ambassador, but he couldn't say anything about it these days, so he pretended to be sick and stayed to wait and see what happened? Regardless of whether Li Yuan could be the position of Taiyuan left behind, he obviously wanted to please both sides. If he couldn't be the one, he would not turn against him. But if he became a left behind, he would not turn against him. Thinking of this, Xiao Buyi saw Li Yuan's sincere face again and wanted to print a shoe print sincerely. If he was about being a right person, he would not let others go, and if he was a left behind, he would definitely not be a good person.

Seeing Xiao Buyi silent, Li Yuan was unsure of his mind, "Does Lord Xiao disagree with me?"

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Actually, I was so moved by Lord Li's enthusiasm that I couldn't speak."

Li Yuan didn't understand what Xiao Buyi said, so he could only cough a few times, "I'm really the heartfelt words."

In fact, according to Li Yuan's idea, Xiao Buyi should have been moved to say a few words to him at this time. This was originally a matter of reciprocity. If Xiao Buyi also said that the emperor would ask and would recommend him Li Yuan, it would be a great joy.

If the prefect's position was to fall on him, Li Yuan, of course he would not refuse, but after being suppressed and despised for a long time, he would inevitably think more. When he saw Xiao Buyi, he replied indifferently. Li Yuan's heart was empty and unsure, as if he was really sick.

"Dad, it's time for you to take medicine." The door rang, and a woman walked in carefully with the medicine bowl.

The woman was wearing a long gown with white background, blue and white background, with a bun and a jade hairpin, which looked simple and clean. When she entered the room, she found someone in the room and said softly. Her beautiful eyes rolled and she said in surprise: "It turns out to be Lord Xiao."

When Xiao Buyi saw Li Caiyu, he was somewhat shocked. "I don't know that Miss Caiyu has also arrived in Taiyuan City?"

The woman who came was Li Caiyu, who had met Xiao Buyi in the East. Compared to the time in the East Capital, Li Caiyu was less sad and more concise. She was pretty and elegant, and her eyes were quite charming.

Li Yuan's eyes swept through Xiao Buyi's body quickly, and he coughed a few more times, and said with a distressed feeling: "Caiyu, I have left the servants to do the work of boiling medicine and delivering medicine. How can you do it yourself?"

Li Caiyu shook her head and said, "Dad, you are sick, how can a child not be there to serve? Besides, I am afraid that the servants will not take care of themselves, so I boil the medicine by myself. Lord Xiao, I have just come to Taiyuan City for a short time."

Her last sentence was what Xiao Buyi said, of course she didn't want to neglect Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi stood up and said, "Since Lord Li wants to take medicine, I have to rest, I won't disturb you..."

"General Xiao, wait," Li Yuan shouted hurriedly: "I have something to say to General Xiao."

Xiao Buyi had to stop. Li Caiyu sat in front of the bed and complained: "Dad, can you say that if you have anything to do, you can't get rid of your illness?"

Li Yuan coughed twice, almost bursting his throat, and waved his hand and said, "What do women know? General Xiao and I don't meet often. Besides, General Xiao is busy with affairs, so why are you always troubled him?"

Li Caiyu frowned, wondering what his father was going to bother Xiao Buyi. Qiubo passed by, glanced at Xiao Buyi beside him, and stood up, "Please sit down, how can you stand?"

"Thank you, Miss Caiyu." Xiao Buyi said politely. Seeing that Li Yuan finally finished the medicine, he couldn't help asking: "Do you know what to order?"

Li Yuan gasped for a while before saying, "I dare not take the order. It was only when I arrived in Taiyuan City that I heard that General Xiao wanted to visit my son Xuanba?"

Xiao Buyi was a little ashamed, "It's true, it's just because I've been busy these days and I have no time to worship. In addition, I don't know the place where Brother Xuanba's worship..."

"I am really touched by General Xiao with this intention." Li Yuan's eyes turned red again, "I don't know when General Xiao will have time, but I can let Caiyu take you there."

Li Caiyu was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Buyi thought, "I have time these days. If I can, what will happen tomorrow? I just want to ask Miss Caiyu."

When Li Caiyu heard the worship, she looked a little sad and shook her head gently and said, "Mr. Xiao is too polite. Then Caiyu will take Master Xiao to Xuanba's tomb tomorrow."

**

After Xiao Buyi left, Li Caiyu was holding the medicine bowl and was about to leave. Li Yuan suddenly shouted: "Caiyu..."

"Dad, what's the matter?" Li Caiyu felt that her father had always been worried these days. When she heard that her father was on the battlefield, she rushed back from Dongdu. Unexpectedly, her father was sick and could not afford to rest as much as possible.

"You think, you think," Li Yuan hesitated for a while, and finally waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Tomorrow, you take General Xiao to Xuanba's tomb. Remember not to offend General Xiao. Now he is at its peak, offending him is not for us.

Li Caiyu frowned and said, "Dad, okay, what did I do if I offend him?"

Li Yuan nodded, "That's best."
