Chapter 84: Hard work
Fang Ling said: "The number of people in the Zhu Department is already the largest, and the number of the Zhou Department is the same as that of the Xu Department, if they form an alliance, they should be the largest in terms of number and strength." ”
Commander Li sighed: "Yes, our royal family has more than 800 people, but the strength is only more than 300, the Xu Department has 1,500 people, the strength is more than 600, the Zhou Department is almost more than 600, and the Zhu Department has more than 2,000 people and more than 800 troops. And Zhu Conghou is very ambitious, I even suspect that he wants to replace the emperor!"
Xi Zhengyong said lightly: "It seems that there must be a mystery in his desire to meet and 'touch' the four parts." However, the reason why he has not moved is because my imperial city is the strongest defense and is heavily guarded, even if I gather thousands of soldiers and horses, it may not be pleased. Second, if you want to send troops, you must be justified and convinced by the people. No matter what he wanted to plan, it was also a rare opportunity to be able to get the four to gather. ”
Commander Li also nodded and said, "Yes, the war between the two departments is a disaster for all people." ”
Fang Ling listened to the conversation between the two, looked at the direction in which Zhu Conghou left, and secretly said that this is really a big deal, this Zhu Conghou is arrogant and domineering, obviously coveting the imperial power, if he really makes him the emperor, then this borrowed army is estimated to become a phantom.
Xi Zhengyong said to Fang Ling at this time: "I'm sorry, this is not a peaceful and prosperous world, I'm afraid it's much worse than the outside world, right?"
Fang Ling came back to his senses and said with a smile, "The emperor has a benevolent heart, and this is the most important thing. ”
Xi Zhengyong laughed, and said with a little curiosity: "I don't know what the situation is like outside?" In the past three hundred years, people in my clan have also gone out to inquire about the situation, but because they can't stay outside for a long time, they don't know much, especially in the past ten years, and they don't know what the outside world has become. ”
Fang Ling said: "The outside world is similar to ten years ago, but the national wars are gradually becoming more frequent, and now the border between Chu and Cai is not stable." ”
Xi Zhengyong nodded, and said to Commander Li: "Find two capable people to be Fang Gongzi's guards, so that Fang Gongzi can familiarize himself with the environment here." ”
So, Commander Li called two guards, both of whom were young people around 20 years old, good-looking and energetic, the slightly stronger one was called Zhao Meng, and the thinner one was called Wei Cheng.
Xi Zhengyong smiled: "You are the one who brought my daughter back, that is, my benefactor of Xi Zhengyong, so you don't have to worry about living here, you can go and take a look in this imperial city, but it's best not to go out of the city, by the way, Zhao Meng, you take my token and take Fang Gongzi to get an antidote grass!"
Hearing the lead plant, Zhao Meng couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but Fang Ling said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I don't have any symptoms now, this detoxification herb is not needed for the time being, and Village Chief Ge also gave me a bag of green silk pills, let's talk about it when I need it." ”
Seeing that Fang Ling was so considerate, Xi Zhengyong couldn't help but say with relief: "Okay, then Fang Gongzi, you can go down and rest first." ”
So, Zhao Meng and the others took Fang Ling to a palace in the deep palace, although this is the world at the bottom of the valley, but the rules in the palace are the same as the outside world, and the news is obviously spreading quickly, there are not many people in the palace, but the people who pass by along the way seem to have heard the news that the little princess was brought by a foreign boy, and they are very regular after meeting Fang Ling.
It didn't take long for him to come to the side courtyard of a palace, and Zhao Meng said respectfully: "Young Master Fang, you just have a good rest, we are guarding outside the door, and you can call if you need anything." ”
Fang Ling walked into the room and took a look, although there were some regulars, but the furniture was complete, and every place showed a royal style, and then, he said to the two: "Two guards, I have something to ask you. ”
Zhao Meng smiled and said: "Gongzi Fang is our great benefactor of the Xi Kingdom, if you have anything to order, just ask." ”
Fang Ling then asked, "Guard Zhao, you also have that strange disease, can you tell me more about it?"
Zhao Meng replied: "The villain didn't know that he had a strange disease until he was 10 years old, but before the age of 10, my mother would send me some jelly beans to eat, and it was only later that I learned that these jelly beans are Qingsidan's ♀ strange disease In fact, the body usually doesn't feel anything, but once it happens, there will be some dizziness, and then there will be a faint stinging pain in the body." ”
"Sting?" Fang Ling sensitively caught this word.
Wei Cheng said on the side: "I heard that the older the person, the more obvious this stinging sensation will be, and once the disease occurs, if you don't take the 'medicine' in time, you will bleed from the mouth and nose, and once the bleeding occurs, the faster the symptoms will occur." ”
Fang Ling asked, "Then what is the location of your stinging pain, Guard Zhao?"
Zhao Meng pointed to his abdomen and said, "It's usually here." ”
Fang Ling asked Wei Cheng again, "What about you?"
Wei Cheng replied: "I'm the same, if I get sick, the child won't be in pain, but when I reach adulthood, I will have a tingling pain in the abdomen." ”
Fang Ling's heart suddenly moved, whether it was an ordinary person or a martial artist, there was the existence of the qi of heaven and earth in his body, the difference was that the martial artist absorbed the qi of heaven and earth to urge him to cultivate, and then change the strength of his body after inhaling it.
Ordinary people absorb the qi of heaven and earth through daily breathing, and a small amount of the qi of heaven and earth is in the body.
Therefore, there is a common point between the two, that is, the absorbed qi of heaven and earth exists in the abdomen, and the abdomen is also the storage place of the qi of heaven and earth.
Generally, the position of the pulse is the blood vein of the wrist, and the condition of the whole body can be diagnosed by this, and even if there is pain in the abdomen, it can only be checked by compression.
The same is true for the probe you use, just press it on your hand and probe the sun to probe it.
Moreover, according to Dr. Li, people with strange diseases will have abnormal movements in their meridians, however, if the abnormal movement of the meridians is caused by the abdomen, then just studying the meridians and ignoring the abdomen is putting the cart before the horse.
So, he said, "Guard Zhao, I know a little about medical skills, can you let me diagnose it for you?"
Zhao Meng nodded, and sat down peacefully.
Fang Ling admonished again: "It may be a little hot or a little cold, you don't need to panic." ”
Zhao Meng patted his chest with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Master Fang, I'm not afraid of how hot or cold my body is." ”
Fang Ling sat on the side, stretched out his hand and pressed it on his abdomen, at this moment, he didn't have to hide his strength, he directly entered a large stream of fire.
Zhao Meng only felt that his abdomen suddenly became hot, and his face couldn't help but change, he thought that Fang Ling was just talking, and there were also people who knew martial arts among the doctors, so it was not necessarily a surprising thing to use internal force to detect the veins, and as soon as the external internal force entered the body, it would cause some hot and cold reactions, which was normal.
However, the heat rising from his abdomen suddenly turned his stomach into a furnace, and Zhao Meng couldn't help but gasp.
The fire energy was like an eye, and as soon as it entered Zhao Meng's body, the direction of the qi veins in his body appeared in Fang Ling's mind.
A variety of different internal forces form different qi vein directions in the martial artist's body, and different qi vein directions can produce internal forces of different intensities.
The internal force in Zhao Meng's body was wrapped layer by layer, and as soon as the fire energy entered, the internal force naturally rose out of the reaction.
However, Zhao Meng's cultivation was only in the Qi Accumulation Realm, while Fang Ling's cultivation had already reached the Rigid Force Realm, so even though this kind of internal force instinct rebounded, it did not hinder Fang Ling's detection in the slightest.
"Relax!" Fang Ling also sensed Zhao Meng's instinctive vigilance and admonished.
Zhao Meng hurriedly calmed down, lowered his body's posture of vigilance, adjusted his body to an extremely relaxed point, and his upright internal strength gradually eased.
Huo Jin carefully "groped" around the internal force and qi veins, and Fang Ling suddenly discovered the abnormality!
It seems that there is something different from the qi vein that surrounds the internal force, but when it is time to catch it, this thing quickly leaves, and together it is like a cat and mouse.
Fang Ling had never seen such a strange situation, but since he had found an abnormality, it meant that things had finally broken through, Fang Ling immediately pressed his left hand up, and at the same time, injected a wave of moon yin ice energy.
The corners of Zhao Meng's mouth couldn't help grinning, obviously feeling a cold feeling penetrating deep into his abdomen, he couldn't help but glance at Fang Ling, and said straight that he was underestimating him, the young man's internal strength in front of him was really strange, he could actually make his body produce two completely different reactions of cold and hot.
However, since the emperor had already ordered it, he was not reckless, so he had to stay steady.
With the slow injection of ice energy, the flow of internal force in the abdomen began to slow down, and the strange energy finally slowed down, Fang Ling's fire energy quickly pounced, and the boiling fire power finally caught the tail of this energy.
Then the cold followed the wrap, slowing down the speed of the qi again.
This abnormal energy was still in a state of struggle at first, it seemed to be like a living thing, Fang Ling didn't care about him, the ice energy quickly cut it into small parts, and under the melting power of the fire energy, the strange energy finally disappeared.
Fang Ling checked again at this time, and found that there was only internal force left in his abdomen, so he withdrew the two strengths, and at this time, Zhao Meng was already sweating.
Seeing his nervous appearance, Fang Ling smiled and said, "Guard Zhao, it's hard work." ”
"Don't dare, I don't know if Fang Gongzi found out anything?" Zhao Meng hurriedly said.
Fang Ling didn't answer immediately, but said to Wei Cheng, "Wei Guard, I'm going to trouble you too." ”
Wei Cheng naturally didn't dare to refuse, and immediately sat down, Fang Ling checked him again, and sure enough, he found that his abdomen also had that qi existence.
However, in order to distinguish between them, Fang Ling did not remove the abnormal energy in his body, but stood up and said with a slight smile: "There are already a little eyebrows, but let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
The two of them were suspicious, and they didn't want to ask anything, so they both retreated to the door.
