Chapter 295: The Beggar
This is the Yan Kingdom, no matter how powerful Xiao Wanyao is in the Wei State and the Chu State, it will not be useful here, Xiao Wanyao comforted Mingyu and said, "This place is safe for the time being, and what they are looking for is a woman, as long as they don't find out that I am a woman, I can probably be fooled for a few days." In the past few days, we have tried our best to get out of the city. ”
Mingyu nodded, and this was the only way to do it now.
The next day, in order to find out more information, Xiao Wanyao disguised herself as a wandering doctor, holding a wooden sign and hanging a beard and wandering around the street. Watching the patrolling guards pass by, I couldn't help but sigh, is there anyone in this world who can cause trouble more than her? actually killed the queen of Wei, and Yan would definitely pour the strength of a country to hunt down her.
When she saw a group of patrol guards passing by, she couldn't help but say to herself, "It seems that Lord Ben is really in trouble!" With a hint of teasing, he continued to walk into the distance.
Originally, it was just a matter of strolling around, checking on the patrol guards, and then looking for a way to get out of here. The result was fruitless, just when Xiao Wanyao was about to go back to the inn with a wooden sign with 'ancestral secret recipe, curing all diseases', she was suddenly stopped by a young and handsome man, "Doctor, you are a doctor!" Quick, there's a guy here who is dying, save him. ”
Xiao Wanyao paused slightly, stroked her beard, and looked at the beautiful man in front of her, he looked very handsome and dignified, but he felt a little young and vigorous, "Where?" Has anyone been sick? "This is her old job, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, it has always been her medical purpose. Of course, when she uses poison, she will run away from the clouds.
The young man pulled her into an alley, and could see a person lying on the ground, dressed dirtily, with fluffy hair, and a few ordinary people standing around him pointing at him, Xiao Wanyao frowned, "You let me save a beggar?" The man said, "Although he is a beggar, he is also a life!" You're a doctor, save him. ”
Xiao Wanyao paused and stepped forward to touch the beggar's pulse, and then tested his finger in front of his nose, then got up and said, "He's not dead, he's alive and well." Maybe he's fainting from hunger, so you can buy him something to eat, and maybe it's fine. If it's okay, I'll go first. ”
After speaking, Xiao Wanyao wanted to leave, but was stopped by the young man here, "He is not hungry and faint, he is really sick, are you a doctor or not, how can you not save him when he dies." Seeing that this man was about to be anxious with Xiao Wanyao, she was stunned, squinted at him and said, "Okay, I can save him and ensure that he doesn't die, but I have one condition." ”
The man asked, "What conditions do you ask, how much money does it cost, I will give it to you." ”
Xiao Wanyao shook her head, "What I want is not money, I am a wandering doctor, and I originally wanted to go to another state and county." But Liuzhou City was sealed, and he said that he wanted to arrest a woman, do you think I look like a woman? The man looked Xiao Wanyao up and down carefully.
Xiao Wanyao was really worried that he would accidentally see through it, so she hurriedly changed the topic, "I'm not a woman, right, so the person they are looking for is definitely not me." Isn't it! As she spoke, she leaned in and patted the man on the shoulder.
The man didn't see anything, she was quite delicate, but ordinary folk wandering doctors probably looked like this, "Do you want me to help you leave Liuzhou?" ”
Xiao Wanyao's eyes widened, and he smiled, "Aren't I also in a hurry, if I don't have something to do, it's okay to stay here for a while longer." ”
The man thought for a moment, and then said, "Brother Huang, if I personally order the blockade of Liuzhou, if I go to tell him in person, maybe I can really let you leave then." It's not that hard, okay, I promised, you can save people quickly. ”
The beautiful man turned around and walked towards the beggar, Xiao Wanyao suddenly grabbed his arm, "You, what did you just say?" Brother Huang? The crown prince of Yan is your royal brother? "Isn't the man in front of you also a prince?
The man was stunned, but he didn't expect to accidentally say something just now, he hurriedly glanced around, made a small gesture, and said in a low voice, "Don't let others know about this." ”
Xiao Wanyao nodded again and again, happy in her heart, she didn't expect to meet the prince of Yan Kingdom, and now she has a chance to go out of Liuzhou. So she took the beggar's pulse and found that he didn't actually have any symptoms of Yan zhòng. I was really hungry and fainted.
Xiao Wanyao said the situation, the man still didn't believe it, and even doubted Xiao Wanyao's medical skills, he pointed to the beggar's body and said, "You see that he has so many sores on his body, he must have some kind of disease." ”
Xiao Wanyao frowned, "It was indeed a sore, but it didn't endanger his life, it was just because he didn't take a bath for a long time, beggars are generally like this." I said that you are a prince, why do you care so much about a beggar? ”
The man turned his head to stare at Xiao Wanyao who was about to get angry, but was suppressed by her words, "If you don't believe me, go to the tavern opposite now and buy a plate of good dishes, and he will wake up immediately when he comes back here." ”
When the prince heard him say this, in order to prove that he was true, he really went to the tavern to buy vegetables, Xiao Wanyao stood in place, looking at his back, and couldn't help frowning again, and said to himself, "A dignified prince, this brain is too simple." ”
But after thinking about it again, Xiao Wanyao felt that this was an opportunity. So he obediently waited for him to come back, and the people who were watching the excitement around were also sent away by Xiao Wanyao, but when an old woman was leaving, she muttered, "Look at the sores on his body, could it be a plague!" What if it's an infectious disease. ”
Although it was just a casual remark, Xiao Wanyao remembered it in her mind, and her eyes were fixed on the beggar's body, those sores did look like a common plague. But she's sure it's definitely not.
When the prince came back, Xiao Wanyao had already left. After returning to the inn, Mingyu waited there, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao Wanyao's dress, "It turns out that you went to play the Jianghu Langzhong!" How's the news going? ”
Xiao Wanyao tore off the mustache on her face and smiled, "I know how to get out of here." I have a solution. After that, she told Mingyu her idea.
Mingyu paused slightly, and said suspiciously, "Is this okay?" ”
Xiao Wanyao's eyes were full of excitement, and she nodded fiercely, "Absolutely!" Believe me, we can take the opportunity to leave Liuzhou when the time comes. We can't afford to stay here any longer. ”
Mingyu thought about it, and finally agreed, "Since you think it's okay, then let's try it, you can do the things here, and leave the outside things to me." ”
Gong Liran was waiting for news and wanted to catch Xiao Wanyao. However, neither the people in the government nor the army have been getting any news about Xiao Wanyao for two days. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she had already left here?
On the third day, the guards from outside suddenly ran in and shouted that it was not good. Gong Liran was discussing things with several other officials, and when he heard the voice of the guard, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, suppressing the anger in his heart, raising his eyes to look out, watching the guard stumble in, and said in a low voice, "What happened, it's like this." The sky hasn't fallen yet. ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not good, it's ...... outside There's a plague out there! The guard gasped.
As soon as his words came out, several officials sitting on both sides suddenly stood up, Gong Liran's face also changed, several officials looked at each other, and one of them said, "What nonsense, how can there be a sudden plague, if there is a plague, it should have been known a long time ago, how can a plague occur in one day." Speak nonsense, be careful with your skin. ”
Gong Liran didn't speak, his brows furrowed slightly, the guard was a little flustered, and continued, "It's true, the news of the plague has spread in Liuzhou City. Many people have been infected with the plague, and the people have already believed it, and now everyone is panicking, and people who are not sick are rushing to leave Liuzhou, and the people have gathered at the city gate, and we can't resist it. ”
Hearing the words later, Gong Liran's complexion finally changed, and he turned around and strode outside, and the faces of several officials also changed abruptly, and they followed Gong Liran out.
Here, Xiao Wanyao stayed in the inn, walking back and forth in the room with her hands on her chest, waiting for the most favorable opportunity. On the chair on the side, an old man was tied up, staring at Xiao Wanyao with wide eyes, most blocked by a white cloth, and whining at her from time to time.
Xiao Wanyao stopped in front of him and smiled, "I'm really sorry, it's a last resort for us to tie you up, and now you know my identity, I am the queen of Chu who killed Gong Qing." But she's not a queen anymore. Outside, Gong Liran was chasing me, and I poisoned the water in the city to make them look like they were infected with the plague, but it wasn't, and there was no danger to them, as long as they didn't have to eat anything for a few days. ”
At this moment, she heard a noise outside, got up and walked to the window, looked outside through the gap in the window, a team of patrolmen passed, and did not find here, she returned to the old man's side, tilted her head and said, "I know that you want to accept me as an apprentice, and I also know that you have excellent medical skills, but unfortunately, we are destined to have no fate of master and apprentice." ”
The old man whined again, and Xiao Wanyao looked at him with an innocent expression, "You want to ask, why did I arrest you, right?" It's none of your business, right? ”
The old man nodded as expected, Xiao Wanyao sighed slightly, and said with a look of great pity, "I arrested you because you know Gong Liran, and if Gong Liran knew that there was a plague, he would definitely go to you." I believe that in Liuzhou City, you are the only one who can see that it is only poisoning, not plague. So...... I'll have to catch you first. ”
The old man finally knew what was going on. It turned out that Xiao Wanyao was using herself, he glared at her angrily, Xiao Wanyao pursed her lips, sat down on the chair opposite the old man, and said slightly apologetically, "I know it's not good for you, but there's no way." That's all I can do. And ......"
Xiao Wanyao took out his notebook from his body, flipped it up seriously, and then pointed to a place and said to the old man, "I think you used the wrong medicine here when you were treating those patients, you shouldn't use this medicine, and I thought of a medicine that could replace it." Maybe there will be improvement, and ......"
She flipped through the pages, pointing out the mistakes the old man had made.
Chapter 296: Tracking
The old man suddenly fell silent, staring at the book in Xiao Wanyao's hand with shock in his eyes. Until she said at the end, "Actually, your idea and direction are right, but I think there are problems in these places, if you improve, maybe you can really cure this disease." And I also came up with a prescription. ”
Xiao Wanyao closed the book, and the old man immediately became restless, kept whining, and became more and more eager, his eyes were about to pop out, and he kept stretching his neck to let Xiao Wanyao remove the cloth from his mouth.
Xiao Wanyao looked at him as if she had something to say to herself, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Do you have something to say to me?" The old man nodded. Xiao Wanyao asked again, "Is it about this prescription?" The old man nodded again.
"I can help you untie the cloth from your mouth, but you have to promise me that if I do, you must not scream, or I will make you unconscious immediately." Xiao Wanyao threatened.
The old man whimpered, he was about to die of this little thing.
Xiao Wanyao untied the white cloth on the old man's mouth, and after the old man's mouth was freed, what he began to say had nothing to do with the prescription, but scolded Xiao Wanyao angrily, "You little poisonous woman, be careful that you will be punished by God!" Quick, let me read your prescription. ”
She was stunned, "What prescription?" "Don't pretend to be garlic, you just said, you came up with a prescription, let me see." The old man craned his neck and said, he was obsessed with medicine in this life, and medical skills were more important than his life.
Xiao Wanyao shook her head, "No, I can't sue you." "Why?"
"Because I want to surpass you!" Xiao Wanyao squinted her eyes and said, "That's why I don't want you to be my master, because I think I'm better than you." ”
The old man looked at Xiao Wanyao in a little surprise, and immediately laughed, "But don't you think that the prescription you came up with also has half of my credit in it?" Without my notes, you could have come up with a prescription so quickly? What's more, I don't know if your prescription can really cure this disease. Show it to me, you stinky girl, believe it or not, I'll call someone now. ”
Xiao Wanyao crossed her hands on her hips to argue, and the old man said angrily, "Hurry up, let me see the prescription, if there is a problem with your prescription, you will hurt your friend." Are you so sure you're right? If you really surpassed me now, you wouldn't have come to Yan Kingdom to look for me. ”
Xiao Wanyao was a little speechless by the old man's words, but it was a little interesting. She then took out her prescription and leaned in front of the old man, "This is what I just wrote." ”
The old man saw that the two pieces of paper full of herbs were written with the names of herbs, and the other paper was written with the time of taking medicine and other dispensing. It was written in great detail, and when he saw these contents, the old man couldn't help but exclaim, "You actually thought of this, let me take a closer look." ”
The old man wanted to take a closer look, but his hands were tied, and he suddenly said angrily, "Untie me, don't worry, I won't run, I just want to see the prescription." ”
Xiao Wanyao saw that he was so obsessed, so she really untied him.
When Mingyu came back, he saw Xiao Wanyao and the old man sitting in front of a pile of medicines, talking about herbal medicines, and the two of them seemed to be very unhappy, arguing with each other and not letting each other go.
"Little poisonous woman, you want to surpass me, hmph, wait. With the medical skills you have now, it's far worse. The old man said unconvinced. But he really admired her in his heart, because she was so young, she had such a comprehension, and besides, she had only been giving her a note for a few days, and she was able to find so many mistakes and correct them.
From this point of view, her talent surpasses ordinary people more than a little bit.
"Old man, don't think that if you write a note, you can make me recognize you as a master, you are far behind." Xiao Wanyao didn't dare to show weakness.
Seeing Mingyu come in, the two stopped arguing, and Xiao Wanyao stood up suddenly, "How is the situation outside Mingyu?" ”
Mingyu's face was a little ugly, and he frowned tightly and said, "That palace is asking for the entire city to be closed, and no one is allowed to leave." If anyone tries to force him to leave, he will be killed. ”
Hearing Mingyu's words, Xiao Wanyao and the old man were stunned at the same time.
The old man glanced at the two of them and said, "You may not know what kind of person this Gong Liran is, he is cruel and will not hesitate to pay a price to achieve his goals. When I was in Wei, I didn't want to treat him, and that's why I didn't want to treat him. ”
Xiao Wanyao frowned slightly, "In this way, Gong Liran won't stop if he can't catch me." Even if he threatened him with the lives of the whole city, he would not let go. She gritted her teeth slightly, she really met a dead opponent.
"I didn't expect Gong Liran to be such a person." Mingyu said.
Xiao Wanyao chuckled, "Just think about Gong Qing, you know, they are brother and sister after all, Gong Qing is so vicious, not to mention that Gong Li is dyed, it is really a mother's womb." It's good now, there's no way to get out of the city. ”
The old man interjected and said, "Little poisonous woman, it seems that if you don't die, Gong Liran won't let go." ”
The old man's words reminded Xiao Wanyao, and she smiled whimsically, "That's right! I'm dead, won't Gong Liran let go? So I have to die. ”
Mingyu panicked and said, "What nonsense, I will never let you have anything to do unless I die." ”
The old man laughed, "Little poisonous woman, you are so vicious, there are still people who don't even want their lives for you." That's a good guy! Mingyu paused slightly, turned his head to look away, and Xiao Wanyao smiled happily, "Mingyu, I just said that I would die, but I didn't say that I would die." All we have to do is make Miyazarin think I'm dead. After that, when he let his guard down, we will leave Liuzhou City again. ”
The old man said, "This is a good way, if you die, Yan will no longer be entangled in the affairs of the Empress of Wei, and it is also a good thing for the common people that Yan and Wei will not be able to fight." So you little poisonous woman, it's worth it to die. ”
Xiao Wanyao wrinkled her nose at the old man, "Are you old man just looking forward to my death?" We still need you to do us a favor, though. ”
The old man said, "What's the hurry? ”
Xiao Wanyao paused and turned her head to look at Mingyu, "When you went to catch the old man and came back before, there were all people from the palace, which means that he has already monitored the old man's home, but fortunately he didn't find out that we went back." This time let the old man go back, and then we went to his house to find him, and then created the illusion that he had died under his hands. ”
Mingyu didn't mind, because Xiao Wanyao had already thought of a way, and it must be feasible, but he was worried about whether the old man would cooperate, and then turned his head to look at him. The old man wiped his beard and said, "Yes, I'll help you." ”
After that, the three of them carefully studied the plan of suspended animation, and only decided to implement it when it was completely feasible.
Just when Xiao Wanyao was studying how she died in Yan Kingdom, she found that someone was secretly following her in Wei Guoyanran, no matter where she went, there were always a few people sneakily following behind.
On this day, as soon as she walked out of the door of the inn, she was targeted. She frowned, turned and walked into the crowd, and soon came to a place where there were few people, and disappeared just before the mouth of an alley. After the few people who were following came over, Yan Ran suddenly appeared and caught them off guard.
Eventually, she caught a stalker and asked angrily, "Who are you?" Why are you tracking me? Who sent you? ”
The stalker didn't want to say, Yan Ran immediately removed one of his arms, "Say it quickly, otherwise it won't be so polite to start again, who asked you to follow me?" The stalker, however, refused to speak. Yan Ran noticed that this kind of person seemed to be specially trained, and she found a waist tag from his body that was only available in the palace. Immediately understood who was behind it.
She let go of that person, unhappy in her heart, so she went to inquire about Xue Tianao's whereabouts, only then did she know that he had returned to the palace. Yan Ran chuckled, the forbidden place of the palace, as long as it is a forbidden place, it is her favorite place to go, because as long as it is a forbidden place, there are treasures. She went in and out of the palace of Chu at will.
She didn't pay attention to the palace of Wei State, but she wanted to ask in person why Xue Tianao sent someone to follow her.
That night, Yanran was dressed in night clothes and came to the palace at night, fortunately, she was familiar with the architectural pattern of the royal family, so she quickly found Xue Tianao's bedroom, and found Xue Tianao in the imperial study.
Yan Ran hung upside down on the eaves, and through the gap in the window, she saw Xue Tianao sitting at the table, staring intently at walking. Dressed in bright yellow clothes, he looked more noble and Ling Ran than when he saw him before, but there was a little more loneliness and joy in his tightly locked brows. As if being an emperor is not a particularly good thing.
Yan Ran was a little fascinated by it, and accidentally slid the yellow tile on the eaves, and the eunuch waiting inside was suddenly stunned, "Who is outside?" Yan Ran was stunned, knowing that she was exposed, she turned over and went on the roof.
In the imperial study, Xue Tianao heard footsteps on the roof, and the chief eunuch who was waiting also heard it, and shouted loudly, "Someone, escort, there are assassins." ”
Xue Tianao slowly put down the ink pen in his hand, a faint smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and slowly got up and walked out. The chief eunuch stopped him, "Your Majesty, don't go out, be careful of danger outside." Wait until they catch the Assassin. ”
At this time, several palace guards had already entered the imperial study, but Xue Tianao didn't take them seriously, and walked straight out, bored for many days, but something interesting happened, he was very curious about who would 'visit' in the middle of the night.
The chief eunuch did not stop Xue Tianao, so he ordered the palace guards to protect the surroundings, but after Xue Tianao walked out of the imperial study, he turned over on the roof, and the chief eunuch was stunned, he had never seen the emperor go to catch the assassin in person, after reacting, he shouted, "Go, go and protect the emperor!" If something happens to the emperor, you don't have enough for a hundred heads, hurry! ”
The entire palace was suddenly in chaos, and now it was not only the matter of breaking into the assassins, but even more strictly the emperor was gone.
Xue Tianao came to the roof, found the figure of that person, and chased after him, just when he was about to leave the palace, the person suddenly stopped, looked back at him not far away, Xue Tianao also stopped, only to hear the other party say, "I didn't expect you to follow in person, do the guards in this palace eat rice?" ”
This voice was a little familiar, Xue Tianao seemed to have heard it from somewhere, and suddenly remembered, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be you!" You're here to find me? Why do you know that I am the emperor? ”
Yan Ran also chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm, "Because your people are following me, that's why I found here." ”R1154
