Chapter 8: The Friendship of Ten Thousand Golds

The light shone slightly through the window railing into Fu Xuan's house, Fu Xuan opened Su's closed eyes slightly, and suddenly felt a breath of the world rushing to his face, the picture scroll of the world was translucent and fresh, the center of the picture scroll leaned on a dozing boy, his face was like a crown of jade, but at this time he added a little sadness and sleepiness, the towel that tied his hair hung down on his sideburns without arrangement, and the hem of his shirt with big sleeves was messily cathartic. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 There is no one else in the info scroll except for the teenager. Fu Xuan couldn't help laughing, lamenting that the usually beautiful young man was so unkempt at the moment, so he reached out to tease the young man's wide clothes and help the young man put them in order.

"Fu Xuan ......" The young man was startled, his hazy sleepy eyes had not yet opened, but the name in his mouth jumped out before his gaze.

As soon as the young man opened his eyes, he saw his friend staring at him with a smile, with ripples in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "You're awake." ”

"Of course. Fu Xuan said proudly, and Lang Run's color smeared his face, "I feel much more refreshed in my body." You see, you can move your arms too. With that, he put his arm in front of the young man, clenched his fist and struck the young man twice. Indeed, compared with when he was just injured, Fu Xuan's face was like a red jade at this time, and his voice was like a bell music, and he was like two people when he was injured.

"Peach Branch. The young man called.

When I was young, a clever and lovely little girl came outside the door and offered new tea in early spring.

The young man took the two teas, lightly opened the porcelain cover, and saw that one was white peach and jade crisp tea, and the other was Dongting tea, and the tea leaves of Biluochun were still clearly suspended in the bowl, so he smiled, secretly changed the two porcelain bowls, and handed the white peach and jade crisp tea to Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan sat up, leaned on the bedrail, took the tea, skimmed the lid of the bowl, and a refreshing smell of sweet fruit rose into the air with white smoke.

"Isn't this my Dongting tea? Fu Xuan frowned.

The young man smiled lightly and said nothing, but the peach branch on the side said first: "Son, your body is just better, you can't eat such strong tea, Su Zhigongzi just changed this warm fruit tea for you, but you don't know the hearts of good people." ”

"Okay, you clever little girl, you have said all the good things. Okay, I'll just drink it. Fu Xuan smiled and took a sip. In the past, Fu Xuan was extremely disgusted with this sweetness, but today's product is also sweet and clear, and he can't help but drink a few more sips.

"I said, in the past, the white peach blossoms stained from the homeland, the son did not taste it, but today the tea material given by the son of Su Zhizi is as sweet as a glutton. I know that your two brothers are like brothers, but I don't see such a bully, it's really unfair. Momoeda pouted.

"From now on, I will taste the same as if you stained it. Fu Xuan smiled and said, "It's none of your business here, let's go down and play." ”

After Taozhi retreated, Fu Xuan called the young man and said, "Su Zhi, last night I heard in my sleep in a daze, the emperor urgently recruited my father and Uncle Wang into the palace, what happened?"

Su Zhi glared at Fu Xuan, who was lying on the bed, and said calmly: "Where is last night, it's the night before yesterday, no, it's the night before yesterday." Xianbei attacked the city of the Great Jin Dynasty, the emperor and the courtiers discussed overnight and decided to raise troops to cut Hu, tomorrow the Beifu army will set off to the north, and then meet with the Northeast Lingan army to resist Xianbei to recover the lost city. ”

"Uncle Wang must be busy these days. ”

"My father is in charge of the world's martial arts, so he should naturally be busy, but Uncle Xie, the matter of sending troops affects the whole body, and all aspects of Jin Min's life are affected, and various affairs are more complicated. Xie Da Situ Mansion is also a crowded city these days, and we are the only one here, but it seems to be a paradise that is not disturbed. ”

"So much has changed in the world in a few days. Fu Xuan closed his eyes and sighed, "Then I can't mention my assassination at this moment, and I must not distract my father and Uncle Wang." ”

"Uncle has already planned your business, but unfortunately, we are still a step late. ”

"Why?"

"We followed the geisha to a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city, and that night someone saw a gentry carrying a lying girl on a wooden cart on Xiulin Street, but when our men arrived at the gentry's farmhouse......" Su Zhi shook his head slightly, and said, "The hut is burning with a raging fire, the house is full of smoke, the fire is transparent, there is almost only one stand left at the scene, after the fire is extinguished, we checked the charred corpses, a total of three, and they were killed under the knife before the fire." ”

"It's so ruthless...... Three lives were lost in vain. Fu Xuan's face gradually became solemn, and he changed his previous spirit, "That geisha can be among them?"

Su Zhi closed his eyes and shook his head, and said, "It was the farmer's family of three who died, and the geisha was not among them." I have heard that Sima Xi, the king of Nanling, has a group of killers under his command, all of whom have the bloodline of Hu Man, and these killers are loyal to Sima Xi, and their whereabouts are strange, swift and ruthless, but no one knows the more precise situation so far, because the people who have seen them are no longer in this world. ”

"I've heard a thing or two about Sima Xi's brutal killer, but it's always just a rumor. Judging from the scene, it is very likely that they did it, but if Sima Xi wants to take my life, he can just send a killer directly, why send a geisha to assassinate him, and then send a killer to kill a geisha?"

Su Zhi also seemed to be stumped by this question, and he raised his eyebrows and thought about it.

"When the farmhouse burns down, don't all the clues be broken? Fu Xuan lay on his back on the bed and sighed.

"Not really. Su Zhishu leaned over, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "However, if you want me to tell you, you have to promise me one thing first." ”

"Su Zhi, you are all weak and weak, you look like an eight-foot man on the outside, how can you still be so stubborn inside, playing these children's tricks?" Fu Xuan was disturbed by Su Zhi to cry and laugh, sighed bitterly, and said, "Say it, what's the matter." ”

"Taste for me the freshly picked greens in the garden today. Su Zhi said lightly.

"What?" Fu Xuan's eyes widened, "Okay, you Wang Suzhi, you took the opportunity to tease me." You know that what I hate most is eating green vegetables, which are weak and bitter, so what is delicious? You just tell me to eat green vegetables!"

"It turns out that the 'jade-faced Langjun', who is as gentle as jade outside, also has such a cowardly side. Su Zhi mocked.

"You're still laughing at me......"

Fu Xuan is not anorexic since he was born, he likes to eat when Fu Xuan was a child. When Fu Xuan was young, her mother, Princess Nankang, was still alive, and she ordered someone to cultivate a vegetable field in the garden and plant it herself. In autumn, vegetables are harvested for the whole family to cook. Fu Xuan also asked her mother why she didn't love flowers and plants but fruit trees, and her mother only said that flowers bloom and fall hurt spring and autumn, so it is better to plant some vegetables. The vegetables grown by her mother are fresh and delicious, but since her mother passed away, Fu Xuan suddenly dislikes eating green vegetables.

"You're prejudiced against greens. I'm for your good. In the past, you were strong and healthy, and I couldn't take care of it, but now you are lying in bed sick, and recovery is the top priority. The doctor said that although meat is healthy, vegetables and fruits are beneficial to the body, fresh and calm the nerves, and are of great benefit to the recovery of wounds. ”

"Yes...... But I really don't like to eat it......"

"If you don't like it, you have to like it, maybe you never want to know the purpose of the murderer's assassination of you?"

"Good...... I'll just eat......" Fu Xuan's expression seemed to be a little gloomy, but Su Zhi ignored it completely, and raised his voice: "Okay, then I'll prepare lunch for you." You are recovering from a serious illness, and the meat and fish are not blessed, so I will get you some soft and delicious porridge and a little greens. Su Zhi accentuated the word "greens", and then walked out of the house with brisk steps.

"Hey, you don't have to go yourself, just leave this to the maidservants......"

Before Fu Xuan's words fell, Su Zhi had disappeared without a trace. Fu Xuan looked at the direction Su Zhi left with disgust, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a trace of arc.

After a while, I heard that Taozhi came to report that Fu Xuan had woken up, and his younger brother Jinting also came to visit the eldest brother's house. As soon as Jin Ting entered the house, he saw Fu Xuan with a clear expression on the bed at a glance, and from a distance of more than ten zhang, Jin Ting saluted his brother respectfully.

Jin Ting is sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows and eyes, beautiful lips and teeth, and was born very handsome, although he was not born by a mother, but his appearance is quite similar to Fu Xuan. Since the death of Fuxuan's biological mother, Princess Nankang, Jinting's mother Zhao has taken care of Fuxuan like her own child, and Jinting is also respectful to her brother, and Fuxuan's kindness to her concubine is remembered.

"Brother, do you feel better?" Jin Ting's voice was gentle but solemn.

Jin Ting raised his head slightly when he heard this, and signaled Jin Ting not to be polite, Jin Ting was humble and polite, but he was often too formal.

After Jin Ting finished saluting, he sat on the edge of Fu Xuan's bed, carefully examined Fu Xuan's face, and said for a while: "It's really much better." No wonder I met Brother Su on the way here, he always looks calm and breezy on weekdays, but today I see him happy, so I guess you are safe and sound. At this moment, it is indeed very different from when I was injured, and I will return to my concubine later, so that she can rest assured that my concubine has not closed her eyes properly for a few nights for her brother's business. ”

Although Zhao is Jinting's biological mother, Jinting still calls her mother a concubine according to etiquette.

"Jinting ......" Fu Xuan reached out to pull Jinting's hand, and his eyes were red for a while, "Thank you for my concubine's kindness, and when I get better, I will personally go to thank her." Please don't worry about the concubine, your body is important. ”

Jin Ting responded in a low voice, and said: "Brother Su Zhi is also as worried about his concubine as his mother day and night, and he stays by his brother's side every step of the way, so that he is also very ashamed of his younger brother." ”

"This Su Zhi, I don't know him yet. Fu Xuan's cheeks tugged at a smug smile and said, "He must have been assassinated for me, and he felt that he was to blame, and he felt ashamed to take such care of me." ”

"Brother, don't say this, otherwise you will live up to Brother Su's good intentions. Jin Ting suddenly seemed to remember something, and clasped his hands together and said, "In this way, Brother Su's Xiliang Miracle Medicine really has a miraculous effect!"

"What Xiliang Strange Medicine?"

"After my brother was injured that day, Brother Su Zhi always guarded him, but one night he suddenly went back to the house, we were all surprised where he went, and after a while, he brought back a bottle of Xiliangwan What kind of pill?"

"Xiliang Wanjin Pill?"

"Exactly!" Jin Ting clapped his hands and said, "Xiliang Wanjin Pill, contained in a glass agate bottle, is the night when my father entered the palace to face the saint, Brother Su Zhi gave it to his brother, Brother Su Zhi said that this miraculous medicine saved the life of Emperor Xiliang in Xiliang, but unfortunately, such a good thing, there is only one pill in a bottle." ”

"Jin Ting, do you know why this medicine is called 'Xiliang Wanjin Pill'?" Fu Xuan looked into the distance.

"Jin Ting doesn't know. But I guess it's worth 10,000 gold, so it's called '10,000 gold pills', right?"

Fu Xuan closed his eyes and sighed: "Do you still remember that three years ago, in the Battle of Jinshan, I was kidnapped by Hu bandits?"

"Of course I do. This battle was the first battle in which Brother Fu Xuan and Brother Su Zhi participated in the war with the army. The battle was extremely dangerous, and the fighting lasted for months and was stalemate. ”

Fu Xuan said quietly: "At that time, I was injured and fell from my horse, and was kidnapped by the Hu bandits, Su Zhi concealed the big Sima and the general, with more than 100 people, sneaked into the Hu camp at night, assassinated the leader, and rescued me from the camp. After returning to the dynasty, the emperor rewarded Su Zhi with this Xiliang Wanjin Pill as a reward. This Xiliang Wanjin Pill, taken from the stamens of Xiliang Wanjinhua, this flower grows in the Xiliang Wanzhang Snow Mountain Cliff, the Yang Rui of heaven and earth, resistant to thousands of years of cold and independent, when picking the need to bathe the heart, naked on the snow cliff, there are many people who died because of this, it is rumored that this pill is the only three grains in the world, one is known to be taken by the Xiliang Emperor, one was rewarded to Su Zhi by the Jin Emperor, and one was stolen by the Xianbei tribe, so it is extremely precious. ”

"There really is such a precious medicine in the world, Brother Su is generous and righteous, and Jin Ting is ashamed, it is really less than one in ten thousand. ”

During the conversation, Su Zhi walked back to the house lightly with warm porridge, Jin Ting got up and saluted, and when he raised his eyes, he rarely saw Su Zhi with a smile on his face, and he was feeling strange, Fu Xuan saw through the young brother's thoughts at a glance, and quipped: "Do you know why Su Zhi is smiling, he must have heard you praise him at the door, and he was overjoyed." ”

Jin Ting also smiled, although his brother can joke, but he is not suitable to help, at this moment Su Zhi came, it was expected that the two had something important to talk about, and it was inconvenient for him to bother more, so he found an excuse and left.

In the huge house, only Fu Xuan and Su Zhi remained.
