Chapter 12 - An Unexpected Encounter
When Tuo Zhixin woke up, it was noon the next day.
"Zhilan, didn't His Highness say that he was going to come to ask me last night, why didn't he come?" asked Xin'er.
"Doctor Huituo, His Royal Highness came last night, and when he saw that the girl was asleep, he went back to the Yeheng Palace. Zhilan replied.
"Hey, you can still avoid being scolded when you sleep? This is a good way! Do you also follow them and call me Doctor Tuo, Wen Xuan, besides, I am not a real doctor, and I can't cure diseases, only refine medicine. You just call me Xin'er. Tuo Zhixin said.
"Then how can it be done, Doctor Tuo is already ranked as a first-class physician in the Xuan Medical Department," Zhi Landao.
"Aren't you tired and panicked?" Xin'er smiled and took Zhilan's hand.
Zhilan let go of her hand a little shyly, no master was so affectionate to her.
Xin'er stepped forward again and took Zhilan's hand, and said coquettishly: "Zhilan, can you help me inquire if General Xia Leng has returned?"
Zhilan looked at Xin'er's soft smile, how could she refuse? Sure enough, women are coquettish, which works for both men and women.
"I'll ask. Zhilan replied.
After a while, Zhilan came back and said, "Doctor Tuo, General Leng has not returned since he went out last night. ”
"Oh. When Xin'er heard this, her heart became heavy. Leng Xuan is going to see off his brother, could it be that his brother has something?
"Zhilan, why don't you go and have a look again, General Leng will tell me as soon as he comes back, okay?" Xin'er said to Zhilan.
It wasn't until the night was dark that Zhilan came with the news, "General Leng is back, and as soon as Xin'er hears it, she will go out immediately."
Zhilan hurriedly grabbed her: "As soon as General Leng returned to Lengfu, he was announced by His Highness to enter the Yeheng Palace. ”
"What?" Xin'er was anxious, she had waited so long, but this was the result.
Xin'er thought about it, according to previous experience, as long as these two people are in one place, it is estimated that they will not come out for a while, Xin'er decisively decided to go to the Yeheng Hall to find it, her brother's life and death are uncertain, where can Xin'er sit?
Being an official is really different, with the name of Dr. Tuo, this palace is really unimpeded.
Xin'er only said that she wanted to see His Royal Highness Haoye, and it didn't take long for the news to spread that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Leng were practicing swords in the Jing Si Garden.
Xin'er thought to herself: "This His Royal Highness the Prince's problems are really not ordinary, and they just called people to practice swords as soon as they came back!"
Before I arrived at the meditation court, I heard the sound of fighting.
Looking at the colorful coral reef from afar, the sword light is staggered.
When he got closer, he found that there was also a retinue soldier standing aside.
As Xin'er approached, the soldier looked sideways at her, his eyes rather strange, as if hateful.
Xin'er also looked at the soldier, he looked very handsome, for a man, he was not tall, but he was taller than himself, and his clothes were very bloated, and he couldn't see that he was fat or thin.
Since arriving in the Sea Empire, no soldier had ever looked at her so boldly, and when Xin'er saw him staring at her, she smiled at him. He smiled coldly in return.
Xin'er looked at it from afar, Haoye and Leng Xuan were both elegant, and the sword light was flowing.
Leng Xuan used a long sword with a lock heart, and the speed was extremely fast, and the white light flashed around Haoye, and Haoye's body was like a coiling dragon, smart and fast!
The escaped blade shuttled between Leng Xuan's sword blades, forcing Leng Xuan's sword wind to move back!
Haoye's palms flew to find a gap to attack, Leng Xuan gradually felt struggling, and suddenly a flaw, the ghostly blade grazed his left neck, leaving an extremely thin scratch!
At the same time that Leng Xuan turned his head sideways to avoid, Haoye exhaled with both palms, and Leng Xuan was hit with two palms in his chest, almost unable to stabilize his body!
Leng Xuan took a few steps back, put away his sword and said, "Your Highness, your subordinates have lost." ”
"Leng Xuan, this king sees that you have been very careless lately?!" Hao Ye floated down, and a few strands of long aqua blue hair crossed his shoulders.
"The subordinates are guilty!" Leng Xuan said with his sword in his hand and bowed his head.
"There was a new retinue today?"
Haoye turned to look at the very small-eyed soldier that Leng Xuan brought today. The blade in his hand suddenly flew out of his hand, passing through the soldier's turban!
I saw that the turban was broken, and the soldier's hair was scattered, and it turned out to be a woman with a pretty face!
Leng Xuan hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Highness is angry!
Standing far away in the night, the blade that had returned to his hand suddenly grew by a foot, and in an instant, he had already picked up the woman's chin and said angrily, "What did you say?"
This woman is the crown princess who has long been selected by the Emperor and the Empress of the Sea for Haoye, Yan Leyao, the daughter of Prime Minister Yan.
This marriage has been delayed again and again because of the changes in the court of the Sea Empire, and now every time the emperor and queen discuss the marriage date with Haoye, he has repeatedly resigned for various reasons.
At this moment, Haoye's cold and sharp blade pressed against Yan Leyao's skin! Yan Leyao was caught off guard!
The sudden threat hit the center of the head!, and the slight pain from the biting cold of the Phantom Blade made her shiver even more!
Rao is that she has been bold and bold since she was a child, and such a change also makes her whole body tense, and she is extremely shocked!
And it was the first time she had looked at this man who was about to become her husband so closely.
His god-like face was dangerously charming, and in this case, she found that she could still indulge in his deep blue pupils, unable to extricate herself!
In Yan Leyao's memory, in the past, he either did not participate in the banquets between the monarchs and ministers, or always hugged the left and right with many concubines, she could only look at him from a distance, but he never cared about her. Despite meeting her a few times, he barely recognized her. In order to get close to Haoye, Yan Leyao even took the initiative to go to Leng Xuan to inquire about him.
Since Haoye swept away the henchmen of the other princes and took power, the concubines around him were also dismissed. The emperor also happily told her that the prince was really growing up and wanted to marry the crown princess. But whenever the emperor and the crown prince discussed the marriage date, he postponed it again and again, and even said that he would wait until he succeeded to the throne before marrying the queen, seeing that the marriage was far away. The emperor was already very anxious, so she had to make this decision, and deliberately stopped Leng Xuan on the way to the palace and ordered him to bring Le Yao into the palace to meet the prince. Zhang Xingliang believes that as long as Haoye sees Yan Leyao's face, he will definitely rush to urge the marriage, instead of pushing it again and again.
Prime Minister Yan and his father Leng Xiaoyan have always had a very good relationship, Leng Xuan and Yan Leyao have known each other since childhood, even if it was just Le Yao asking Leng Xuan to take her to see Haoye, Leng Xuan must not bear to refuse, not to mention that this time to take Le Yao to see Haoye, it was arranged by the emperor and queen.
Haoye's questioning at this moment, Leng Xuan only wanted to be responsible for himself, and did not want to push others, so he knelt and did not say a word.
"Your Highness doesn't have to blame General Leng, it was Niangniang who asked him to bring me to see Your Highness. ”
Le Yao plucked up the courage and said: "Your Highness has somehow postponed the wedding period again and again, and she is unwilling to meet the concubines. ”
Haoye put down the blade of his sword, turned back to Leng Xuan, who was kneeling, and said, "Do you know who you obey orders?
"His Royal Highness is angry, Leng Xuan is guilty, and he is willing to be punished!" Leng Xuan said.
Tuo Zhixin originally came to ask about his brother's situation, but he couldn't interject at all. At this moment, Mianxing came in and said, "Your Highness, General Pu asks to see you!"
"Xuan!" said Haoye.
After a while, a muscular man in dark green armor and a very rough appearance came in.
He owed a debt and said, "Your Highness, oh ......", suddenly saw Leng Xuan kneeling on the ground, he was stunned for a while, and he stopped halfway through speaking, wondering what the situation was?
"Speak!" said Haoye.
"Yes, Your Highness, the remnants of the silver concubine have all been subdued, but the emperor is too sad in the Yaoyang Palace, so let the word be ......"
"Needless to say. Pu Zhang was hesitating whether to say the following words, but he was interrupted by Haoye.
The words of the emperor and queen are related to this. Niangniang ordered me to tell His Royal Highness that the emperor was already too sad, and he could no longer press on step by step, and hoped that His Royal Highness would no longer put the five princes under house arrest from Yin Guifei, and allow him to return to his biological mother's white phosphorus clan to live in peace. Le Yao said.
"You have brought the words of the queen mother, Mianxing, and someone will send Miss Yan back to the house. Haoye completely ignored Yan Leyao's words, and directly ordered Mianxing to ask someone to send her back to the mansion, and didn't even recognize her as the crown princess.
Although Yan Leyao was unwilling, she didn't dare to make a mistake, so she had to go back with Mianxing, and when she left, she looked fiercely at Tuo Zhixin, who had not left.
Tuo Zhixin was stared at by her.
Yan Leyao had already received news from the palace that this Tuo Physician had become a first-class physician out of thin air, and not only that, but he was also arranged to live in the Leaning Moon Palace, which was closest to the Yeheng Palace.
The Dan room in the Leaning Moon Hall is a place where the prince refines medicine alone, and ordinary people are never allowed to enter, but now there is a female physician living in it, which is really suspicious.
Seeing that Yan Leyao was gone, Pu Zhang kicked Leng Xuan with his foot: "Second Leng Lao, why did you make His Highness unhappy?"
Tuo Zhixin saw that Leng Xuan was still kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but he knelt still.
Tuo Zhixin had no choice but to kneel with him and ask, "General Leng, is my brother okay?"
"Brother Ling is very good, after taking Ziyunzhi, I used my spiritual power to help him calm down some medicinal power, and his talent is also extremely high, and now he is fine. Leng Xuan said.
Seeing that His Royal Highness didn't speak, Pu Zhang saw that the meaning had eased somewhat, so he stepped forward and dragged Leng Xuan up, "Second Leng Er, you wooden head, why don't you get up yet?"
Haoye sat at the stone table and wiped the already bright blade, seemingly unconcerned about this side of the matter.
"General Leng, thank you so much. If you hadn't saved my brother, I wouldn't have known what I would have done!" Xin'er asked.
"Actually, this is all ordered by His Royal Highness to do it, Doctor Tuo wants to thank His Highness. Leng Xuan said.
"Well, what about my mother, have you seen her? Is she worried about me? How is she?" Xin'er said with a sigh of gratitude, but did not come to Xie Haoye, just asked about her mother's condition.
"I explained the reason to Ling Tang, and in addition, Dr. Bituo had already guessed that my father Leng Xiaoyan and Dr. Tuo's grandfather were brothers, so Ling Tang was also very relieved about this, and she also asked me to tell you to take good care of yourself. ”
"Well, I also thought about it for a long time before I understood, I'm smart, right? Thank you very much, General Leng, oh, no, in this way, you are my uncle? Haha, I have a backer!" Xin'er Jiao smiled.
"Doctor Tuo doesn't have to be so serious, just call me Leng Xuan. Leng Xuan looked at Haoye's expression and felt a thorn in his back.
"Actually, I also feel awkward, General Leng is young and promising, and your uncle is called old. Leng Xuan broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.
Haoye watched Xin'er and Leng Xuan talking, and suddenly felt something in his chest clogged up.
Xin'er saw that Leng Xuan frowned and seemed uncomfortable, and hurriedly said:
"Uncle Shi, are you injured and uncomfortable? Since His Highness asked you to compare with him, you don't have to let him because of His Highness's identity, Your Highness also has to be reasonable, right?"
As she spoke, Xin'er glanced at Haoye, who was sitting there and had put down her sword blade and slowly sipping tea. Mianxing had already sent Yan Leyao away and came back to wait.
Leng Xuan was embarrassed when he heard Xin'er say this: "Doctor Tuo smiled, and the last general has done his best." ”
"Uncle Shi, you are too modest, I heard Mianxing say that you also took Ziyunzhi and cultivated with double spiritual power, and you are a few years older than him, will you be inferior to him?"
Xin'er's words could make the three men present vomit blood!
Mianxing, who was waiting on the sidelines, complained in his heart again and again! God Mingjian! That's not what I meant!
Leng Xuan didn't know if he was angry, or if he was really injured in the palm just now, so he immediately vomited a small mouthful of blood.
"General Leng, what's wrong with you, does it matter?" Xin'er said hurriedly.
Pu Zhang stretched out his long arm and grabbed Leng Xuan: "Second Leng Lao, what are you excited about?"
"Pu Zhang, you also heard the words of the queen mother just now, and the other conditions are agreed to by the king, but don't think about the five princes if they want to return to their biological mother's clan, although the white phosphorus clan is almost annihilated, it is not impossible to resurrect the ashes, you find a remote place to trap him." ”
Haoye sat there and commanded.
"Yes, Your Highness. Pu Zhang said, and then Pu Zhang pulled Leng Xuan and said, "Leng Er, you wilt now, didn't you drag it when you fought with me last time?"
"Leng Xuan, you went to get the punishment and went home. Mianxing, this king sees that you have been very idle recently, so go to the school to practice for four hours and come back!"
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness. Leng Xuan replied.
"Yes, Your Highness. Mianxing also responded, he was bitter in his heart, who let himself talk too much?
"Ah, Leng Er is going to be punished?" Pu Zhangqi said.
Without waiting for Haoye to answer, Leng Xuan hurriedly pulled Pu Zhang and the two out. Xin'er also gave a random salute and ran away. Haoye didn't seem to care.
"General Leng, this highness is simply unreasonable, bring someone in and that's it!"
Xin'er said indignantly, how to say that General Leng is also her uncle, although he said that he would not be allowed to call him uncle, but Leng Xuan is also the person she is most familiar with in the Sea Empire.
"Doctor Tuo, don't say anything about Your Highness, this matter was Leng Xuan's fault, not to mention that deception was a big crime, but now it's only twenty lashes. Leng Xuan said.
"It turns out that this is the newly appointed Doctor Tuo, I've seen it, and it's really amazing, I'm Pu Zhang, Doctor Tuo has just arrived in the Sea Empire, if you want to go somewhere to come to me, I will definitely accompany you. Pu Zhang patted his chest and said.
"General Pu is really righteous! I thanked you first!" Xin'er said happily.
"Drunkard Pu, you want to die, don't you? You don't have to worry about Doctor Tuo's affairs!" Leng Xuan poured a basin of cold water on Pu Zhang.
"What are you doing? You have your own elm head, don't you allow me to have some fun?" Pu Zhang said.
"Doctor Tuo, don't pay attention to him, he has many concubines in his family, and he doesn't have time to accompany you, otherwise the family will definitely be restless!" Leng Xuan ignored Pu Zhang, and only turned his head to Tuo Zhixin and said.
"Oh?" Tuo Zhixin's eyes widened, a little puzzled.
"Second Leng Lao, why do you keep demolishing the stage?" Pu Zhang said angrily.
"Tear down the stage, I'm saving you! How can you be a general if you're so stupid?" Leng Xuan said.
"Okay, okay, I'm stupid, the punishment table is here, you go up yourself. ”
Only then did Tuo Zhixin find that they had followed Leng Xuan into a small training venue, and there was a platform on the left side of the field, which was used to punish prisoners at first glance. There were some soldiers standing there.
Pu Zhang got on the stage first and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The one who walked slowly was kicked away by him!
Then he rolled up his sleeves, took the whip on the platform, and waved the long whip to drive away the soldiers around the platform: "I'm bothering the general to carry out the whipping today, haha, Leng Er, is it cool?"
"I usually win you, but now it doesn't hurt to let you get some money back!" Leng Xuan said with a smile.
"What? When did you win, come on, come on, come back another day. Pu Zhang said angrily with wide eyes.
Tuo Zhixin frowned and said, "General Pu, do you really want to fight General Leng?"
"Doctor Tuo, you don't have to worry, this whip is the most suitable to dredge the meridians of Leng Er, you are a woman, it is better to avoid it for the time being. Pu Zhang said.
Seeing this scene, Xin'er had to leave first and return to the Leaning Moon Palace.
