Chapter 221: Arrival
Just when Li Xiaonuan racked his brains and tried to find a way to bring down the queen's family, a very atmospheric honor guard appeared on the official road of Yongzhou Mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There are few people in the world who can have such a team of honors. So those who had the good deeds inquired in dissension. In the end, it is said that the escort in the honor guard is the current noble concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Second Prince.
However, didn't the only canonized Concubine Lu of the Eagle King die in the sea of fire with the second prince Zhao Ruichen? Back then, in the palace like an iron bucket, the fire that was confusing spread all over the country.
In addition, the memorial text written by His Majesty the Emperor for the mother and son of the noble concubine has been circulated among the people to this day. From the words of the sacrificial text, everyone can taste the deep sadness and longing of His Majesty the Emperor. It can be seen how deeply His Majesty the Emperor has for Wei Lu's mother and son.
It's just that how can a dead person reappear in the world, and it is still in the rather remote southwest area of Yongzhou Mansion. Good deeds spread the word. Within a few days, places outside Yongzhou Mansion also vaguely knew about this matter.
Zhao Lichuan's mother and son didn't care about that. They enjoyed the honor guard treatment given by the emperor, and went all the way to the capital. In the accompanying team, there was also a particularly inconspicuous carriage, and in the carriage, it was Dad Li with Su and Xiaogang.
The more Dad Li and Su Shi thought about it, the more they felt that Li Xiaonuan should not be allowed to enter Beijing alone. Therefore, after learning the identity of Zhao Lichuan's mother and son, as well as their intention to return to Beijing, they begged to go to the door.
In this way, they hung at the end of this honor guard, enjoying the treatment that did not belong to them. However, the journey is not without its dangers. On the night they first left the city, when they were at the post station, someone blew the drug and set it on fire.
Fortunately, the people sent by the emperor are not useless. When those men attacked, they immediately captured everyone. It's just that that night, Dad Li, Su Shi and Xiao Gang were all unconscious.
The main thing is that he trusts Zhao Lichuan too much, so Xiao Gang will not be alert at all. But since then, Xiao Gang has secretly increased his vigilance. didn't think about it, he really helped Zhao Wangchuan and the others save a trouble.
It was the day when they passed through the post station where Li Xiaonuan and they had staggered. When Xiao Gang went to help Daddy Li fetch water, he suddenly felt that there was a very bad smell in the kitchen. It's similar to the smell of those colorless and odorless poisonous potions after they have been ignited by fire.
But fortunately, that kind of poison is only toxic when eaten, and it's okay to smell it. This discovery shocked Li Xiaogang. He dropped the bucket and ran outside the residence of Zhao Lichuan's mother and son in a shout, telling everyone not to eat.
The old Taoist who was walking with Zhao Lichuan listened to Xiao Gang's shouting, and began to check the tea and food. Sure enough, when he inspected a pot of Ming Qian Longjing in Wei Lu's room, he found that it was highly poisonous.
Later, they found the same poison in a small plate of pickles on the dinner table. In this regard, Lao Dao was very annoyed. After all, he is specialized in this area, but he did not discover this poison that directly kills people for the first time.
Since then, Lao Dao has begun to instruct and teach Xiao Gang, teaching him those views and medical theories that are different from those of conventional doctors. When I first started as a child, I struggled to learn. After all, many of the old Tao's views and practices are contrary to common sense.
However, Xiaogang is a good boy. He wrote down all the contradictory things and asked him for advice the next time he saw Qi Ji.
For Xiao Gang, a child who is always stupid, Lao Dao likes it and regrets it. I like it because Xiaogang's perception is very high, especially in pharmacology. Unfortunately, when he entered Beijing this time, he still didn't know if he would be able to leave alive. Therefore, he regretted that he could no longer teach such a gifted child.
To say, Lao Dao felt that Xiao Gang was more suitable for him to be his apprentice than Zhao Wangchuan. After all, Zhao Wangchuan just wanted to learn some martial arts and some ancient soldier formations.
But Lao Dao prefers to study medical theory and easy to learn. This side happens to be what Xiao Gang, the dead child, is most interested in. Although Xiao Gang always looks silly, his reflexes and receptivity are unmatched by many children who seem to be shrewd and intelligent.
No matter how old the Tao regrets, he didn't know Xiao Gang earlier, how Xiao Gang mixed what he learned and turned it into knowledge that he could master. In short, the capital soon appeared in front of their group.
Although there were a lot of bumps and bumps along the way, and there were several assassinations and killings, they still arrived at the legendary imperial capital.
"Old man, is this the capital? I think it's similar to our castle. If you look at that gate, it's a little higher and a little bigger than our city. The walls are newer and thicker than those of our city. The gatekeepers were taller and more powerful. Everything else, it doesn't make a difference at all. ā
It's rare that Xiao Gang has more unexpected words in addition to studying. Lao Dao sat beside him, and followed him to see this place he hadn't been back to for almost 60 years.
"That's right, it's really the same as your prefecture. It's all a place for people to live, as long as there are people, it's fine. "Actually, a lot has changed. Lao Dao lowered his head and pressed the sachet on his waist, muttering.
"Old man, you said that my sister would be happy to see us? I think my sister will definitely be frightened. She certainly wouldn't let us come, wouldn't let us go with her. Maybe, my sister will be angry. As soon as Xiao Gang spoke, he was sad and flattened his mouth. There was sadness leaking out of his white bun face.
When Lao Dao saw it, he couldn't bear to touch Xiao Gang's head, and comforted: "Boy, your sister is angry with you because she is nervous about you." I advised you not to come, but you didn't listen. Now you know it's wrong. ā
After hearing Lao Dao's words, Xiao Gang was no longer sad. He raised a smile and said, "No, we're on the right track." My sister will scold us on her lips, but she will worry about us in her heart. In this way, before she does anything, she will think about a way out. ā
Lao Dao looked at Xiao Gang, who had returned to normal, and could only sigh at the child's intelligence. He was always very introverted, and he collected all his talents in the deepest depths. If he didn't face the person he trusted the most, he would not easily show himself.
"Yes, you should pester her and let her have more scruples before doing things. Otherwise, with her temperament, sooner or later she will pierce the sky. You drag her back, and she has scruples, so she won't take risks. Lao Dao patted Xiao Gang's head again.
When Lao Dao was discussing Li Xiaonuan with Xiaogang, Father Li and Su Shi were also discussing how to explain to Li Xiaonuan in the carriage. In fact, Su Shi was as dizzy as Li Xiaonuan. But because he ate some mysterious pills prescribed by Lao Dao, he was much better than Li Xiaonuan.
"Say whatever you want. She's our daughter, shouldn't we follow her and stop her from getting into trouble? Anyway, I'm just here in the capital. Unless she goes back with us, I'll follow her, day and night. Su Shi held his stuffy chest and said unhappily.
"Yes, we'll follow her. No matter what she does, we don't leave her. Anyway, there is Xiaoyang at home to take care of his mother, so I don't have to worry about anything. Father Li also said firmly. (To be continued.) )
