【Chapter 22 - Dark Room】This kung fu cures all diseases

People come and go in the Wu family car dealership, and the inquiries to see the goods are lively, and the business looks prosperous.

Chu Yuan glanced at the signboard from a distance across the street, and was just about to go in, but was stopped by Duan Baiyue, so he was puzzled: "Something?" ”

"Since you are disguised as a small trader, you will naturally have to rely on it." Duan Baiyue reminded, "Walking like this is incompatible with appearance. ”

Chu Yuan paused and asked, "Then how do you go?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Just like the people on this street." ”

Chu Yuan: "......"

He didn't feel that he was any different from the people when he walked.

Duan Baiyue shook his head with a smile and pressed his straight back down a little: "It's like this, or it's okay to bend over and hunch over a little more." ”

Chu Yuan was suspicious: "It's so simple? ”

Duan Baiyue nodded and entered the Wu family's car shop with him.

The guys were busy, and when they saw two strangers, they didn't have time to come forward to greet them, so they could only shout from afar, asking the guests to look around first, and come over when they were free.

"It doesn't matter." Duan Baiyue said, "Little brother is only busy, and we are only idle, so let's just come and have a look." ”

The carriage is lined up in the open space in the backyard, there are quite a lot of styles, and there are newly made tables and chairs samples in the back, and then I want to go inside, but I was stopped by the family, saying that the back is the private house of Boss Wu, and refuse to enter.

Duan Baiyue apologized, and the two walked around the shop in front of them again, before leaving the car shop and walking slowly along the street.

"What did you find?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Nothing was found." Duan Baiyue replied. That's what it's called weird, the main thing in the car shop is all kinds of carriages, and it also sells some tables, chairs and benches, and nothing else, and I really don't see what those wooden boxes are used for.

"According to the villagers of Qiufeng Village, tomorrow there will be people from the car dealer who will go to him to collect the goods." Chu Yuan said, "At least you can follow and see where those wooden boxes were sent in the end." ”

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Okay." ”

"Let's go." Chu Yuan said, "Go back to the post house." ”

"There are a lot of people in the daytime, what if they are discovered." Duan Baiyue shook her head, "I'll go back in the evening." ”

"So what to do now?" Chu Yuan asked.

"I've been out for so long, and I haven't eaten a meal." Duan Baiyue stretched out her hand and pointed, "There is just a restaurant, go back after filling your stomach." ”

Chu Yuan frowned.

"Let's go." Duan Baiyue couldn't help but say, and pulled people upstairs. Xiao Er came to greet him warmly, and Chu Yuan didn't say anything more, he looked at the menu for a long time, and ordered a green vegetable soup and a bowl of stuffed tofu.

Duan Baiyue said casually: "Eight treasures tender duck, drunken beef, braised pig's feet, sea cucumber balls, braised lamb legs, cloth bag fish." ”

Xiao Er agreed, and at the same time reminded: "Just your two masters? I'm afraid it's a bit much. ”

Someone at the adjacent table inevitably looked over here after hearing it, and Chu Yuan suddenly had a feeling of a rice bucket like a man's back.

This time, not only was his face uncomfortable, but even his whole body began to pierce.

Duan Baiyue handed him a cup of tea: "It is made of fried grain, which is different from tea, but it also has a different flavor." ”

Chu Yuan took a sip, full of barley aroma.

"Do you still like it?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Chu Yuan nodded: "It's a little sweet." ”

"I'll just tell you, don't always eat at the inn on weekdays." Duan Baiyue said, "Everyone in the world knows that the emperor is diligent and thrifty, and local officials even want to make you a few more fish and bowls of meat, but they have to worry about whether they will lose their heads." ”

Chu Yuan shook his head: "If you continue to exaggerate it, I will not be honest and thrifty, but have something wrong with my brain." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled and reminded in a low voice: "You still call yourself me outside? ”

Chu Yuan paused and said, "Me." ”

Duan Baiyue's smile became more and more hearty, and asked Xiao Er to bring flower leaf tea, so that she could try it.

The dishes were quickly served, and a steaming array of dishes was set on the table. Chu Yuan saw that his appetite seemed to be quite good, so he didn't urge, and kept eating slowly - naturally, there would still be people next to him from time to time, but it would be okay to have a few more times, it would be easy to look at it after all, and it would not be ashamed to be treated as a rice bucket.

Duan Baiyue said: "Why is your appetite so bad today?" ”

Chu Yuan raised his head: "Huh? ”

"That duck leg tossed and turned in your bowl, and it was pinched a dozen times, to say the least." Duan Baiyue said.

Chu Yuan: "......"

He really couldn't eat it.

Duan Baiyue stretched out her chopsticks to get the duck leg into her bowl, and brought him a lighter bamboo soup.

Chu Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, he had already taken a bite before.

But Duan Baiyue obviously didn't care, she finished eating it by herself in three or two bites, and fished out a large piece of beef.

Chu Yuan: "......"

According to this amount of food, when he was in the post house a few days ago, he had never eaten a full meal.

After the meal was over, it was already dark outside, Duan Baiyue put down the teacup, and said in her heart that this is called eating. In the past, there was little soup and little water in the post house, and at most it was a stomach.

Chu Yuan said: "Can you go back?" ”

Duan Baiyue looked out the window, the Yanshui River was twisting and meandering, and the scenery on both sides was quite good.

Chu Yuan had already gotten up and gone downstairs.

Duan Baiyue felt sorry in her heart, so she had to follow behind, and said in her heart that if she had the opportunity next time, she would definitely enjoy the scenery and wind together.

Chu Yuan didn't have the heart to think about anything else, so he stepped up all the way back to the post station, and asked Sixi to boil hot water when he entered the door.

Sixi's father-in-law hurriedly ordered to go down, and looked at Duan Baiyue with inquiring eyes, what is wrong with the emperor, why is he going to take a bath when he comes back.

Duan Baiyue finally noticed something wrong: "What's wrong?" ”

"The mask is too stuffy." Chu Yuan said.

"I'll help you." Duan Baiyue reached out and groped in his ear, then tore off the mask entirely.

Chu Yuan let out a low cry of pain, his face was already flushed with red dots, and it was itchy when he looked at it.

"Ahh Sixi's father-in-law was taken aback, how could it be like this.

"Why didn't you sue me earlier." Duan Baiyue frowned, let him sit on the chair, and turned on the light again.

Chu Yuanxin said, looking at your posture, you were hungry for more than ten days without knowing it, and it was not easy to catch a full meal. It's better not to bother, or not to bother.

Duan Baiyue was distressed and annoyed, so she first dipped a handkerchief in warm water, gently wiped his face clean for him, and then applied medicine: "Does it still hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt all the time." Chu Yuan said, "It's just a little itchy." ”

"It's because I didn't think it through." Duan Baiyue gathered his broken hair. In Xufu, when the dust is big, you will sneeze, not to mention covering your entire face with medicine, fortunately it is only half a day, otherwise I am afraid that it will be stricter.

The face is cold, and it has long been itchy when it was in the restaurant, but it is not uncomfortable. Chu Yuan looked at Duan Baiyue's close face, and said calmly: "Looking at your expression, it looks like you want to be disfigured." ”

"Nonsense." Duan Baiyue couldn't cry or laugh, "Don't worry, at most tomorrow morning will be fine." ”

Chu Yuan said, "Hmm." ”

Duan Baiyue continued to check carefully, and found that there was indeed no major problem, and after taking the medicine, those red spots had also receded a lot, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yuan looked at him with some amusement.

"Still laughing." Duan Baiyue sat beside him, "I won't take you to play like this next time." ”

"But tomorrow the people from the car dealer will have to go to Qiushui Village to pull goods." Chu Yuan said.

"I'll just go." Duan Baiyue said, "You are waiting for news in the post house." ”

"Your Majesty." Sixi's father-in-law said outside again, "Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor?" ”

"No need." Chu Yuan said.

Sixi's father-in-law is very worried, is it really necessary, otherwise let's see.

"Father-in-law doesn't have to worry." Duan Baiyue opened the door, "This king will take care of Emperor Chu." ”

Sixi's father-in-law had no choice but to nod and continue to sigh with a bitter face.

Outsiders say that the southwest province is full of drugs, but now it seems to be true.

No matter how easy it is, the emperor can make it easy to blush.

In the room, Duan Baiyue watched Chu Yuan rest, then sat on the edge of the bed and extinguished the candle.

Chu Yuan asked, "The prince doesn't go next door?" ”

"I'm watching over you." Duan Baiyue covered the quilt for him, "If there is anything uncomfortable, tell me." ”

"You can't help but think I'm too weak." Chu Yuan was funny.

Duan Baiyue thought to herself, isn't it just weak.

But after thinking about it, it was obvious that he couldn't say it, so he said, "Sleep." ”

Chu Yuan couldn't resist him, and wanted to lean against the wall sideways, but he pressed him again: "There is still medicine on the face, don't move around, just sleep like this." ”

……

Sixi's father-in-law was puzzled outside, seeing that the candles were extinguished, why didn't the king of the southwest come out.

Duan Baiyue leaned on the side of the bed, guarding the person beside him, and he also closed his eyes to recuperate. After a while, I checked it again, and waited until the red dots had completely faded, and even called the pulse, and made sure that there was nothing else, before I got up and went back to my room.

Listening to the soft sound of the door, Chu Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed, and the corners of his lips were a little ...... Smile. Sideways hugging the quilt, but it was out of the whole night.

Early in the morning of the second day, Duan Baiyue secretly went to Qiufeng Village. waited until the afternoon, and sure enough, I saw the guys from the Wu family's car dealer driving and stopping at the end of the village. Yesterday, the man greeted him warmly, and several people talked and laughed and moved the scattered pieces of wood to the car, and after counting the number, he settled the silver on the spot, and then dispersed.

Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows, the silver was really not small.

The man drove the carriage all the way back to Dayan City, and sent the wooden pieces to different warehouses in batches, and finally there were three large boxes left, looking at the wooden boxes from yesterday.

Duan Baiyue followed the guy all the way, first through the private house behind the shop, then circled, and finally entered a deserted guest house in disrepair, took out the key to open the door, and carried the three big boxes inside. After going out, he looked around to make sure that no one noticed, so he swaggered back to the front.

This house looks like it is leaking everywhere, and it hasn't been repaired for a long time, and even the roof seems to be leaking with one foot. Duan Baiyue leaned against the window and glanced in, but was slightly stunned - the room was empty, except for a few broken wooden boards, there was nothing else, and the three boxes just now did not even have a shadow.

There's a secret passage...... Duan Baiyue smiled, turned around and went back to the post house.

"Secret Passage?" Chu Yuan was surprised when he heard this.

"If you can't see people, you naturally have to do it in a place where you can't see it." Duan Baiyue said, "Although I didn't find the mechanism today, it doesn't matter, you can see the clues by staring a few more times." ”

"Will it be dangerous?" Chu Yuan asked.

"There should be no danger, just don't startle the snake." Duan Baiyue asked, "What about you?" Can you find out the relationship between the Wu family car dealership and Xu Zhiqiu? ”

"They're extremely close." Chu Yuan said, "But this car shop is one of the most prosperous shops in Dayan City, so it's not surprising that you have to deal with the government a few more times." ”

"There are many car dealers in this city, when did the Wu family start to become popular?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Chu Yuan replied: "Two years ago. ”

That is to say, before Xu Zhiqiu took office, the Wu family car dealership was still a little-known shop. To have today's climate, it must be secretly supported by the government. Duan Baiyue said, "There is one more thing, the woman who pretended to be a firewood delivery person before, after leaving the mansion, returned to the Wu family's car dealership, like a rough envoy." ”

Chu Yuan asked, "What is the next step?" ”

"It's better to put a long line and catch a big fish." Duan Baiyue said, "I'm going to keep an eye on the car dealership, at least I have to find out what they are doing in secret." ”

"Then I will send someone to keep an eye on Xu Zhiqiu's side." Chu Yuan said, "Listening to what you said that day, Lan Ji seems to have pushed him into a corner, and he should make a decision in the next few days." ”

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Okay." ”

"Duan Wang!" Seeing him coming over, Chu Yuan instinctively dodged back.

"What are you afraid of?" Duan Baiyue smiled dumbly, "When the business is over, let me look at your face, what's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Chu Yuan said, "Sixi deadlifted the accompanying imperial doctor in the morning to come and see. ”

"And then?" Duan Baiyue pulled over the chair and sat beside him.

"Then the imperial doctor observed and called the pulse, and found that there was really nothing, and he didn't dare to say that he didn't diagnose anything, and he was trembling all the time." Chu Yuan said.

Duan Baiyue smiled: "This is not like your temperament, deliberately making it bad and scary." ”

"Your Majesty." Sixi's father-in-law said outside, "Dinner has been prepared." ”

Duan Baiyue's mind suddenly appeared with a bowl of green vegetables and tofu.

"Biography." Chu Yuan commanded.

"Yes." Sixi's father-in-law opened the door and brought in the dishes one by one, and on weekdays they were all finished with three or four dishes, and this time there were seven dishes and eight bowls on the table, and there was a big fish - it was really big.

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Chu Yuan picked up the bowl and said, "King Duan plans to watch it all the time?" ”

Duan Baiyue felt that he needed to explain, in fact, he didn't have the same amount of food as yesterday in every meal, it was really because he had eaten tofu and vegetables for a few days in a row, and there was some lack of oil and water in his stomach.

Chu Yuan had already sandwiched a piece of ribs, lowered his head and gnawed slowly.

So Duan Baiyue swallowed his words again - if he could eat a few more pieces of meat at each meal, it would be worth it.

The candles in the house flickered, and there was only a small sound during eating.

Duan Baiyue asked, "Night Pearl?" ”

"Huh?" Chu Yuan raised his head, "What Night Pearl?" ”

"There's something glowing in the cupboard." Duan Baiyue stretched out her finger and pointed.

Chu Yuan glanced at it, and then said, "It's the Burning Star." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "Always with you?" ”

Chu Yuan continued to eat: "No." ”

Duan Baiyue served him a bowl of soup, but he felt that something seemed wrong, thought about it, and asked, "Is it really a burning star?" ”

Chu Yuan: "......"

Is there a need to lie about this kind of thing?

"When I picked it up from the Nine Mysteries that day, it didn't even shine, and it wasn't even as good as the Night Pearl." Duan Baiyue explained.

Chu Yuan was slightly stunned, then stood up and opened the cabinet door and took out a bead from it.

The blue is round and transparent, like a □□ child's eye.

Duan Baiyue: "......"

"Isn't that right?" Chu Yuan handed the beads back to him.

Duan Baiyue took it in his hand, and saw that the shape was indeed an Burning Star, but ...... Actually glowing?

Chu Yuan was also puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Duan Baiyue returned the thing to it, "No wonder everyone wants it, it turns out that there really is aura." ”

Chu Yuan shook the Burning Star back in his palm: "I don't know what it is for, but I have only heard people talk about it occasionally." I inadvertently mentioned that the two of them were not very old at that time, but they didn't expect that one day, they would really be found by him.

"If you like it, take it, no matter what use it is, you can be happy when you look at it." Duan Baiyue said, "What do you want in the future, just say it." ”

Chu Yuan took back the beads, sat back at the table and finished the soup, and drank another cup of tea to rinse his mouth.

Duan Baiyue felt that he was a little crazy again, and even when he wiped his mouth, he felt that it was very pleasing to the eye.

Chu Yuan said, "King Duan can go back." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Chu Yuan looked at him.

Duan Baiyue asked, "Can't sleep next door?" ”

"A hard bed, how can it be comfortable." Chu Yuan shook his head.

Duan Baiyue said in her heart, the bed here is soft, but-

"King Duan." Chu Yuan interrupted his flying thoughts.

Duan Baiyue sighed: "That's fine." ”

It's fifteen today, and you should go back to take medicine.

Duan Nian was waiting for him at the inn, and there was a letter written by Nan Mo Xie on the table.

Duan Baiyue said: "Can you not watch it?" ”

Duan Nian had a bitter face: "Master Nan is afraid that he will feed his subordinates to insects." ”

Duan Baiyue had no choice but to take it apart with a headache.

Inside, there is a martial arts cheats - there is really only one. Eight moves, a period of internal strength, it is not difficult to look at, and it is recommended that luck turn around on the fifteenth day of every month.

Duan Baiyue shook off another piece of paper, and saw that the sky was falling above, and he boasted about this martial art. It can not only walk in the martial arts alone, but also dominate the world, and can cure all kinds of diseases, from wind and cold, headache, brain fever, to men's impotence, and even women's lower abdominal pain and postpartum blood collapse.

Duan Nian was frightened: "The prince really wants to practice?" ”

Duan Baiyue asked, "Why don't you practice?" ”

Duan Nian was stopped.

And why is that?

Any normal martial arts person, when he gets this so-called "secret book", he shouldn't want to practice, right?

Duan Baiyue picked up the soup on the table and drank it all, and then entered the bedroom.

Duan Nian had no choice but to stay outside, for fear that his prince would accidentally practice something wrong.

After all, Master Nan doesn't seem to be very reliable.

In the Southwest Palace, Duan Yao was lying on Nanmo's back: "Master! ”

"Nope." Nanmo refused in one gulp.

"I don't want to practice, so I can't just see it?" Duan Yao rubbed him desperately with his face.

"If you can't say no, you can't." Nanmo locked the secret grid and said casually, "Yao'er is wrong, there is no Bodhicitta Sutra here." ”

It's clear that there is! Duan Yao's eyes were full of resentment, and he couldn't take a look?

Master is simply stingy.
