Chapter 374: Supremacy
Jiang Chengzi smiled and said, "You don't blame me for being arrogant." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"At first, I was a little angry. "But you convinced." ”
"Hey, hey. She smiled slyly and looked up at him, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were slowly tender.
He was uncomfortable, and said embarrassedly, "What do you see?" ”
"Also, wearing a mask, I can't see it. She shrugged, stood up, and changed the subject, telling him what she had seen and heard on the other side of the house.
"This kid is interesting. Li Ke said.
"It's a little interesting, I don't know if it's a general knowledge. Jiang Chengzi said while cleaning up the cups and plates, then stopped and said with some confusion, "It's just that I don't know why he hates me very much." If it is influenced by his family, then according to his aunt and sister-in-law, he will not be. Moreover, he was congenitally deficient, and he seemed to be poisoned, and his life was short. The elders will never tell them bad things. ”
Li Ke thought about it, and then asked what Yang Hong said. Then his face sank, and he snorted, and said, "I don't know what to do, just ignore him." ”
"You just agreed to me forming an alliance with Ofang. Jiang Chengzi was puzzled.
"To form an alliance with the big house, you don't have to be angry with them. The person in charge of the big house is Yang Gongren. Hmph, just this old guy, you have to give me three copies. Li Ke was unceremonious.
"That's not your way of life. Jiang Chengzi pointed it out, then jumped over and whispered in his ear, "Ah Nian, tell me, why?"
Li Ke glanced at her and said, "No." I just don't like you to be wronged. ”
Jiang Chengzi knew that he didn't want to say it, and he didn't force it, so he "sneered" and said, "What grievances are not wronged." Hong'er is a junior, and she has been terminally ill since birth, suffering from illness and death threats at any time. He has a temper, and I can afford it. ”
"Hmph, that's his business. I'm not happy. Leave him alone. Li Ke was stubborn.
In fact, he can't say it directly: Judging from the man's mind, Yang Hong has some undesirable thoughts and feelings for his ninth aunt. Now that I see that what I imagine seems to be different from reality, I am naturally extremely disappointed, and I turn to all kinds of cynicism towards Jiang Chengzi.
"Ignore you. I went to Dr. Wang and asked about Hong'er's illness. Jiang Chengzi cleaned up his clothes.
"Don't go. Li Ke stopped her, like a stubborn child.
"You know you can't stop me. Besides, you agreed. This old lady is very old, and she will definitely be the owner of the big house in the future. Nowadays, what Hongnong Yang can achieve is a room for the king. If the big house is presiding, he will definitely break away from the old aristocratic alliance and promote reform. Jiang Chengzi patiently explained.
She actually knew that Li Ke knew everything, but she didn't know the reason why Li Ke was so vexatious.
Li Ke had long been persuaded by her, and he knew that she was imperative. After all, her father is jealous of her, and he is also afraid that she is the Yang family's careerist behind her. But if the Yang family breaks away from the old aristocratic alliance and appears in a new attitude, his father will be much more relieved. At that time, he was less dangerous.
"But, Ah Zhi, have you thought about it? If the old aristocratic alliance is dissolved. Who is going to restrain the eldest grandson Wuji. You once knew that the world was nothing more than the word 'checks and balances'. My father was a top emperor, and it was impossible not to know about it. Li Ke hurriedly seized on this point to refute her.
In fact, even he wasn't worried about this problem, so how could she worry about the eldest grandson's family getting bigger?
"But it's a matter of interest. The lesser of two evils! Your father would prefer to see the cancer of the old aristocracy dismantled. Of course, he had long been preventing the new aristocracy from becoming the old aristocracy of the future. We don't have to worry about that. Jiang Chengzi said.
Li Ke pursed his lips and only said in a low voice: "I know." From the beginning, he was making the prince independent. Try your best to keep the crown prince from having anything to do with the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson queen also found such a princess for the crown prince. But in the end, didn't it hurt the prince?"
"That was in the previous life, in this life, the prince has you and me!" Jiang Chengzi said.
Li Ke didn't come back to his senses for a while, and only looked at Jiang Chengzi in a daze. Her eyes were soft and her expression was serious, not at all like a joke.
"Ah Zi, do you know what you're talking about?" he asked.
He never thought of helping the crown prince, the only thing he wanted to do was to protect Ah Zi and his mother.
"I know. She replied firmly.
"Then you still say that?" Li Ke was puzzled.
"Because it is impossible for the eldest grandson Wuji to let you and me go. Moreover, in the matter of Gewuyuan, we must be firmly tied to the crown prince. In the previous life, the prince fell off the horse, and in this life, we will become the prince's most solid backing. Jiang Chengzi said firmly.
Li Ke shook his head and said, "These things are too far away, let's talk about them when we go back to Chang'an." Now, you have to take care of the affairs of the big house, and I have to go with you. ”
"It's not ——, good. Jiang Chengzi was a little embarrassed. His current identity is General Ah Nian, and if he followed, the nature of the matter would be different.
"No matter. I'm going to follow. Li Ke really looks like a child at the moment.
Jiang Chengzi looked at his stubborn look, and smiled and said, "That's it, you can come together." ”
Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke walked through the back hall and arrived at the backyard wing. Dr. Wang was reading an ancient book, and when he saw the two of them coming, he stood up and saluted.
"Doctor Wang doesn't have to be polite. Jiang Chengzi took a seat, handed a hand towel to Dr. Wang and asked, "If I am wrong in judgment, the powder on this is poison, right?"
Doctor Wang took a look, sniffed it lightly, and nodded: "This is poison, not poison." ”
"What's the explanation?" asked Li Ke.
"General Ah Nian, if this thing is given to a normal person and involves a certain amount, it will be a deadly poison. If it is given to a person who has been poisoned by another poison, it is a temporary antidote. Dr. Wang explained.
Jiang Chengzi asked, "It's a chronic poison, but it's also an antidote at some point, right?"
Doctor Wang nodded and said, "That's right." However, what the Nine Girls said was not entirely accurate. This is an antidote, but it is not a real antidote, it can only neutralize the toxicity and reduce the pain when the toxicity occurs. ”
"I see. Jiang Chengzi had suspected that Yang Hong was poisoned, not a real congenital deficiency, and it seemed that Xiao Lingling really wasn't lying.
"Ninth girl, also, where did you find this poison?" Doctor Wang looked serious.
Jiang Chengzi noticed that his expression was abnormal, so he asked, "What's the matter?"
"This poison is very peculiar, it was developed by my master to suppress the poison in the younger disciple. At that time, my master's son was also poisoned, and even though he was killed on the spot, my master tried his best to treat him, but he was also in great pain. The master had no choice but to use this poison to suppress the toxicity and seek an antidote. Dr. Wang said slowly.
"Then your junior brother has completely eliminated the poison?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
Dr. Wang nodded, and then said: "However, back then, Wang Shichong forcibly conscripted us into the army, and the benevolence of the master and doctor was not spared, and later died in the war with his junior brother. A group of our brothers and sisters are also scattered. I have the love of the three princes to be able to settle down. ”
"War is the most cruel man-made disaster in the world. Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but sigh, and then remembered the eventful years in the army, someone once said this to her. In the era of peace, she and a group of comrades-in-arms carried out the task of exterminating the enemy under the peaceful sky. Bleeding and dying, no one knows anything but a tombstone and a certificate of honor that the family knows.
However, none of the childish comrades-in-arms flinched. Every time I see children entering and leaving the campus with smiling faces, I see couples wantonly on the streets, and I see old ladies and grandfathers dancing swords in the park.....
All the fighters felt that it was worth it, and they were all worth it.
"We are fighting to stop war. Her first captain had said to her. It was a handsome man with the brightest smile, but he was also the one who cherished her the most.
He said: "You are your daughter's family, I can't bear to send you a task." ”
"I'm a soldier. "She's unequivocal.
He smiled and said, "Yes, we are soldiers." ”
Later, while on a mission at the border, he died under heavy fire from the crossers to protect her.
He died in her arms, and his last words, still smiling, said: "War is the most cruel man-made disaster in the world, and we must end it with war." ”
The topic of war silenced all three people who had experienced war.
After a long time, Li Ke asked: "Then the person who is making poison now, could it be an acquaintance of Dr. Wang?
"It's hard to say. The theory of making this poison was proposed by my master, but my master is not a conservative person. When I was in Luoyang, the master was in Xinglin and never had reservations. Moreover, the poison in the junior brother is very peculiar. Master also discussed it with a few old-timers. Therefore, I have to see that person, otherwise I am not sure if that person is someone I know. Dr. Wang replied.
"That's easy, tomorrow, I'll take you to meet this person. Jiang Chengzi said.
Li Ke didn't object, he only picked up the question he wanted to ask and asked Dr. Wang. When Dr. Wang heard this, he quickly shook his head and replied, "General Ah Nian, my master did not say who the poisoner was. However, Master said that the people who do this are nothing more than enemies and people who want to learn their skills. As for the enemy, the master said that there is only one person in his life, and that is his junior brother, my senior uncle. Because his uncle likes to make drugs, he was reprimanded by his grandfather, and he passed on the technique of disambiguation to his master, and also married his daughter to his master. From then on, Uncle Shi regarded Master as an enemy. As for the people who learn from each other, there is also one person who is eccentric. ”
"What's the quirk?" Jiang Chengzi interjected.
"I just like to poison and let Master solve it. Or if you encounter any incurable diseases, you always have to try with the master to see whose craftsmanship is superb. Dr. Wang replied.
"Where is that person now?" asked Li Ke.
Dr. Wang shook his head and said, "I only know that person is from Dingzhou, and Master calls him Cui Er." In the past, Zeng Xiu wrote a letter and ordered me to go to Dingzhou to deliver a letter, hoping that he would raise his noble hand and let go of the little junior brother, but the other party did not reply. Soon after, the world was in turmoil, there were wars everywhere, and Dingzhou was also in the midst of war. After the war, I don't know if Cui Erqi is still there. ”
"Then has your junior brother's poison been cured?" Jiang Chengzi was most concerned about this matter. If his brother's poison is cured, as his master's successor, Dr. Wang should be able to cure the poison. Then, Yang Hong will be saved.
"Solved. Dr. Wang said proudly, "My master studied hard, and finally found medicinal materials to condition his brother's body, mainly acupuncture. In fact, the focus of this poison is not the antidote to detoxification. The technique of acupuncture is the antidote, but the technique must be appropriate. ”
"Doctor Wang, if you face someone who may have the same condition as your junior brother, can you be sure?" Jiang Chengzi asked again, unable to hide a trace of surprise in his heart, he could finally live up to a mother's great heart.
"If it's the same as the little junior brother, I'm completely sure. "Dr. Wang packs the ticket.
"Then Dr. Wang will make some preparations, and tomorrow morning, come with me. Jiang Chengzi said, Shi Shiran got up, pointed to the handkerchief on the case, and instructed Dr. Wang to deal with it properly, after all, it is poison.
Coming out of Dr. Wang, Li Ke sneered: "I didn't expect this ancestral house to be so turbulent and dirty. ”
"The harem of the house, the rivers and lakes of the court, where there is interest, there is dirt. Jiang Chengzi replied.
Li Ke was silent, Jiang Chengzi thought that he must have thought of the terrible battles in his previous life, so he stopped, and said a little coquettishly: "Ah Nian, anyway, your itinerary has changed, and it will take several days to set off, can you help me do something." ”
"What's the matter?" Li Ke saw her cunning eyes dripping, and immediately had a bad premonition.
"Anyway, you're idle, help me write a few words. Jiang Chengzi said with a grin.
asked Li Ke to write a note, a strategy for the art of war, and he was able to capture it, but he could make up a notebook, which really killed him.
"This, I think of the disaster situation around here, I want to investigate, and before opening a position, I want to check it myself. Li Ke immediately said.
Jiang Chengzi pouted, snorted, and said, "This book is to save my life, and you won't help?"
"Help?" Li Ke didn't know why.
Jiang Chengzi told him what she had seen and heard along the way, including all kinds of gestures of goodwill at the Yingxi Inn and the big house, as well as the method she came up with.
Li Ke pursed his lips, and it took a long time before a sentence burst out from between his teeth: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and I will not let go of any of the people behind the scenes." ”
His murderous intent suddenly rose, and Jiang Chengzi stood aside and was silent. The person behind this scene, don't say it's Li Ke, even if she finds out, she will definitely not let it go. At this juncture, those who dare to do this themselves want to put her Jiang Chengzi to death.
"Such a big thing, but you just said it this time, confused?" Li Ke saw that she was silent, so he made a straight face.
"Hmph, are you helping or not?" Jiang Chengzi also hummed coquettishly.
"Help. He chuckled, his tone softened, and then urged Jiang Chengzi to go faster and go to the study to discuss how to lay out the book and how to operate the inn to expand its influence.
"I think that when I return to Chang'an in the future, I have to make a proposal to His Majesty and establish a court image promotion department. After Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke finished discussing matters related to the notebook, they threw the pen aside and drank water to joke. (To be continued.) )
