Chapter 179: Where in life do we not meet
In the early morning of the next day, Rong Xi was still sitting behind the table of the Eight Immortals, thinking about the events of last night, she was naturally not interested in the shitty things in Zhao County's house, the important thing was that the thirty-eight beautiful man ...... Who is it?
She thought for a moment and said to Xiao'er: "Go, tell the guy at the door, tell those people who come to see the disease, whoever can name the latest rare thing in the city today, will be exempted from half of the consultation fee." ”
Xiao'er's eyes rolled, knowing that there would always be new things happening with her, so she nodded hurriedly and ran out.
Li Haijiang was sorting out medical books on the bookshelf, and he naturally listened to Xiao'er about what happened last night, and now when he heard Rong Xi's instructions, he immediately thought of what happened last night.
"Childe, but do you think there was something unusual about what happened last night?" Li Haijiang touched his beard and said, "Do you want to hear a few words from the old man?" ”
"Oh?" Rong Xi turned the brush in his hand, "The old gentleman knows?" ”
Li Haijiang coughed twice, every time Rong Xi called him "old gentleman", he always felt that her smile was weird, making people feel a little cold, as if there was a taste of being calculated and sarcastic.
"How many times have you said that...... It's called the housekeeper," Li Haijiang muttered dissatisfiedly: "I used to travel here when I was young, so I have heard some things about it. ”
"When you were young?" Rong Xi was stunned, and recalled the age of the thirty-eight beautiful man, how could it have anything to do with Li Haijiang's "youth", it is estimated that when he was young, that person was not born yet, right?
Li Haijiang naturally understood Rong Xi's doubts, and said curtly: "I mean, I have been here when I was young, and my stay is not short, and I know that the royal surname of Mingxiao Kingdom is Hao Lian." ”
"What do you mean......" Rong Xi squinted his eyes slightly, thinking about Zhao Xiancheng's attitude towards the thirty-eight beautiful men, and even his guard Zhao Xiancheng was respectful and polite.
"The meaning of old decay," Li Haijiang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he twisted his goatee and said, "This man with a mysterious identity may be a royal person." ”
As he was talking, the curtain was lifted, and a patient walked in, Rong Xi finished the diagnosis first, and said to Xiao'er: "Record what he said, and I'll look at it later." ”
At the end of the day, there are still a lot of new things in the city, and most of Rongxi can be swept by at a glance, only those "a few people in special clothes have entered the city", "it seems that there are distinguished guests in Zhao County's mansion", "Zhao County's mansion procurement staff said that a large number of precious ingredients have been purchased in the mansion" and so on, will be carefully watched.
The total information boiled down to one place, coupled with what Li Haijiang provided, Rong Xi finally came to a conclusion that this thirty-eight beautiful man is a royal man nine times out of ten, this person is very dangerous, it is better not to approach.
Moreover, what are his guards called...... Hao Lianzhao, how could there be such a strange name? Could it be that his guards are arranged according to the surnames of Zhao Qiansun and Li Baijia?
In that case, it is the same as those named by numbers in Leng Yixiuning Palace......
It's all wonderful!
When Rong Xi remembered the unlucky guard Leng Fifteen, he was running around in the eastern frontier, blowing the sea breeze, eating seafood, and suffering from ...... Bitter in my heart.
It has been three days since Leng fifteen arrived in Dongjiang, and he directly took over with the leader of the woodcutter last time, and listened patiently to what he said, Wu Keqing really died, as for whether it was under the hands of the prince of Miao Jiang or Leng Yiwei, the king of Qi, it is no longer important, the important thing is that the cooperation between the prince of Miao Jiang and Leng Yiwei has been broken.
King Qi also came to Dongjiang, he entered the Wen Mansion, and then went to Wu Keqing's house, as for what he did in it, no one knows, but he knows that he was so angry that he almost relapsed from his old illness at that time.
Leng Fifteen wrote down these things, but what he wanted to know most was not these, he hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "I said, ...... recently Have you found any trace of the princess? ”
"Huh?" The firewood chopping leader was stunned for a moment, and did not react for a while.
"It's Princess Ning who came last time." Leng Fifteen said worriedly, he stared at the other party's mouth, really hoping that what came out of his mouth was, "I've seen it." ”
The firewood chopping leader was still stunned, and then stood up suddenly, and said with an excited face: "Has the princess come to Dongjiang again?" What's the mission this time? Do you still need our brothers? The last time the brothers came back, they were all happy...... It's been a long time since I've carried out such a happy mission, and the princess is really ...... O god-like person......"
Leng Fifteen looked at his open and closed mouth, listening to his chatter, his heart cooled little by little, and it can be concluded that the other party has never seen Rong Xi.
He waved his hand to block the other party's incessant talk, "Well, the current situation is, I don't know if the princess is here, the reason why I came to see you is that I want you to let all your subordinates go out to find the princess's traces." ”
"This ......" the firewood chopping leader was a little puzzled.
"Stop talking nonsense! Find it. Leng Fifteen's last patience was worn out, and in the past few days, he has changed several horses and run countless places, but there is still no news of Rongxi.
What's even worse is that the prince's carrier pigeon is almost every two days, each time it is just a few words, and every time it is to ask the princess for news, Leng Fifteen felt that he was about to collapse, and his heart trembled when he saw the birds, especially the birds with white hair.
It's just that he still didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, before leaving, the prince stood alone in the pearl of the Red Sleeve Garden, and the lonely figure was too sad, like pouring vinegar into the veins, and every pore was sour.
The dishes in the small kitchen are more exquisite than when the princess was there, because the prince went to the Red Sleeves Garden every day to eat, and then asked his subordinates to put two sets of dishes and chopsticks on the table, the only difference from before was that the prince used to not drink except for important banquets, but now he does not leave the wine glass.
After eating on the bowl, the prince was standing under the pearl tree, holding the swing where the princess had once sit, with a sad expression and deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and such a station was often near dawn.
Leng Fifteen couldn't stand it when he saw it, he had been with the prince for fifteen years, and he had never seen the prince like this, even when he mistakenly regarded Rong Qiu as Rong Xi and couldn't marry her because of his identity, he didn't feel sad like this.
Leng Fifteen thought of Leng Yixiu's lonely and painful expression, and his heart seemed to be pinched fiercely.
Princess...... Where the hell are you?
Rong Xi, who was in the country of Mingxiao, stretched her waist, she looked out the window and said to Xiao'er: "There are fewer patients today, and we will be busy for a while, let's go shopping on the street." ”
"Okay." Xiao'er was naturally happy.
The master and servant have never been shopping here before, they are busy looking for stores and medicinal materials, and after the opening of the medical hall, they are busy diagnosing patients, and there is really not much leisure time.
Xiao'er held two strings of sugar people in her hands, amazed and reluctant to eat, Rong Xi stopped at the bookstall on the side, she casually flipped up a copy of "The Book of Poison", she has never given up on poison, poison can hurt people and save people.
"Hey, it's a good book." A hand reached over and picked up a book of poems in Rong Xi's hand, the hand was white and delicate, the fingers were full, smooth as jade, and the scarlet sleeves slid gently, like a sunset on the horizon.
Looking at the hand and the sleeve, Rong Xi had a headache, and she raised the book at the bookstall owner, "I want this one." ”
"Wait," the owner of the hand said with a vague pause, "If I'm not mistaken, this bookstall should be a frequent visit of Lord Zhao County, right?" Is he registered here? ”
The bookstall owner nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
"Well, that's right," the man said with a smile in his voice, "Ye is a distinguished guest in the Cheng Mansion of Zhao County, so what about it...... The book here has priority, this ...... I want it. ”
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the other end of the book in Rong Xi's hand.
"Hey! Feed! When Xiao'er saw it, she immediately gave up her addiction to sugar man, puffed out her cheeks and said, "What's the matter with you?" You are a distinguished guest in Zhao County's mansion, what does it matter to us? Not our guests! This book is what our son said he wanted first! ”
Hao Lianzhao stepped forward and said, "Presumptuous! Don't be rude! ”
"Let you go...... Xiao'er pinched her waist, the sugar man in her hand was used as a gun, and she suddenly pointed at Hao Lianzhao.
Rong Xi laughed secretly in her heart, Xiao'er Xiao'er is getting more and more fierce, but what she said is indeed reasonable, but is this person next to her a reasonable person? I can't hide from it...... It is a small world?
"Don't be in a hurry." Sanba's beautiful man's words were said to Xiao'er, but his eyes smiled lightly at Rong Xi, his two curved like the moon, and his thick eyelashes trembled slightly, "I mean I want this book, but it's not for myself to read." ”
As he spoke, with a slight force, he pulled the book out of Rong Xi's hand, Rong Xi was too lazy to bother with him, let go of his hand, and let him go.
"Hmm...... Buy it and give it to you. The thirty-eight beautiful man said, motioned for Hao Lianzhao to pay, and handed the book to Rong Xi.
"Thank you!" Rong Xi waved his hand, "No merit is not good, I don't have this habit in the next, say goodbye!" ”
"Hmph." Xiao'er bit at the sugar man fiercely, "Click! With a bang, the sugar man's head was bitten off by her.
Hao Lianzhao looked at the broken sugar man, and suddenly there was a little chill on his neck, he peeked at the master, and found that the master's eyes did not pay attention to the murderous little guy and the unlucky sugar man at all, but fell on the young man's body.
It's just that...... How is the master's gaze strange?
It seems to be ...... Those girls and ladies of the official family secretly looked at their masters!
When he thought about it, the cool air on his body became more cheerful, didn't he...... This young man is a man! Ahh Could it be that the master is a broken sleeve?!
