(777) Night Rise

- Concubine De's subordinates actually wandered to the desolate and barren land of the northern frontier, thousands of miles away from Kyoto? The purpose is self-evident. Following this vine, Luo Xing'er finally found Lin Shan's whereabouts.

Mr. Lin didn't seem to be in a good state, even though she only occasionally walked outside the house where he lived as a peasant woman carrying bundles of firewood and farm tools, and she could hear the coughing sound inside through the courtyard wall. It wasn't a cough that itched in the throat, but a cough that seemed to cough up the body and break the lungs. It seems that although Mr. escaped death, he was extremely seriously injured, but it is a fact, otherwise he would not have been raised for two years and still looked like this.

However, she was not unaware of this. Before she set off, when she was preparing in the palace, she heard the second prince say that the flames that burned down the Lin family's old house may have used military oil and an iron projectile stuffed with animal medicine, and the temperature was extremely high. When the fire was extinguished, the thinner iron in the house, such as kettles and spatula, melted into iron pulp.

It is a great blessing to be able to escape from such a sea of fire, and there will be some losses, which are also visible to common sense. Although the onset of the gentleman's injury did make the onlookers worry, it was also a helpless result.

Fortunately, Mr. Lin's condition seems to be gradually improving. It's just that the speed at which his body recovers seems to be extremely slow.

It's okay to slow down, it's better than not getting better at all! While observing Lin Shan's condition improving for a month, Luo Xing'er unexpectedly discovered that Liao Shi, the rumored medicine ghost with three heads and six arms, also lived near here, as the second prince expected.

That's fine, with him here, inseparably treating that gentleman, then it is only a matter of time before he recovers completely.

As for Concubine De's subordinate, who found out Mr. Lin's whereabouts one step ahead of her, it seemed that there was no suspense in being cut off.

Think back to it again. The reason why the noble general of the North ** Battalion led his army to rush to this town, but when he was still thirty miles away from the town, he was bumped into by a Nanzhao soldier who looked like he was passing by. The reason can be imagined, but it is not what you see on the surface, it is just as simple as the county garrison.

You know, in that fierce battle, the noble general was almost captured alive. Which small border county has such a strong military? If this was the case in every county, how could there be so many towns in northern Xinjiang that had been looted without the power to resist?

As for the folk rumors, the reason why Nanzhao would strengthen the military force in this town was because of the sincerity given for a commercial agreement with Xiaoliang State. The caravan of the Yan family is going to start living in this remote land, and they want to trade here. Therefore, Nanzhao had to give persuasion that he had the ability to protect the trade road, and the Yan family was willing to let the caravan come.

Ke Luo Xing'er escaped from the brutal North ** Camp and came to this town where it is said that the Yan family came back to do business for almost a year, and she didn't feel that the few caravans passing by were for business. The people in northern Xinjiang who have lived a hard life all year round do not understand. Luo Xing'er, who had stayed in Kyoto, knew that the Yan family's way of doing business was not just to send a few cars carrying half a cart of dissatisfied goods to go through the motions.

It's just a pretense to anesthetize the doubts of the northern ** side.

Bei ** Fang is not a fool, if he doesn't talk about this reason, of course they will be suspicious. What could be the nature of this Nanzhao small county garrison that almost killed a battalion of their border army.

It is necessary to cover for this special army, and then protect Mr. Lin, who has not completely recovered from his injuries, and continue to hide his traces.

As for the pretense of the Yan family's northbound line, the Yan family's trade routes in Nanzhao are complex, and in recent years, there have indeed been actions to expand to the north. But to find out if there is a business line connecting this town, it is as difficult for people outside the Yan family to find the freckles on their hair.

After waiting and observing near the gentleman's house for more than half a year, and making sure that the gentleman was all right, Luo Xing'er returned to Kyoto with a notebook.

Live up to the prince's trust. Although there were many difficulties and dangers, Luo Xing'er, who finally completed this task and returned to Kyoto with the booklet, looked at the scene in front of her more and more familiar, but her heart became more and more afraid.

Returning to the familiar place, she was about to see His Royal Highness the Prince, who had missed her thousands of times, but the moment she walked through the Kyoto City Gate, she flinched, and did not dare to continue to take a step closer in the direction of the palace gate.

It turns out that this is the feeling of being close to home.

I have a dark red slave scar on my head, will I be disgusted by him?

Of course, I hope that he will not dislike it; But at the same time, reason is clearly telling itself, even if it is disliked because of this, it is also in common sense; But I still feel heartache for this common sense thing, as if someone died in my heart.

If you don't go to see him, you can keep the good memories of being in the palace three years ago forever; But I have to go back, otherwise what is my three years of hard work for?

Luo Xing'er, who was in a struggle between two loves, did not immediately contact the person who had left her in Kyoto three years ago after returning to Kyoto. She just rented a private house in obscurity for nearly half a month, didn't go out of the house much, didn't cook on the fire much, and only ate some dry cakes. Although she had thick bangs, she was still afraid of seeing the face reflected in the water tank, and she was afraid that other people's eyes would fall on her face for a few more moments.

But she eventually walked out of the closed room.

And the first time she mustered up the courage to approach the inner city, she saw him galloping towards her.

After three years of grinding in the sandstorms in northern Xinjiang, even if he ignores the slave scar on his forehead, he must still be black and ugly in his eyes, right?

Fortunately, he didn't seem to see himself half-hidden behind a willow tree on his side, and only cared about galloping forward.

Luo Xing'er stood with the tree in her hands, and the Yulin Army galloping in front of her stirred up her aura, she hurriedly covered her forehead with thick bangs, and her sleeves covered half of her face, but it did not cover her gaze at the prince who was galloping at the front of the Yulin Army.

I haven't seen him for three years, but he has grown a lot. The contours of his face have faded to the childishness of a young man, and there is a deep curvature. His eyebrows were a little deeper, and he was closer to the momentum of his father looking down on the world.

He was still so thin, but he learned to ride a horse, and his body seemed to be much better than before.

But why are his lips so pale? Because of the wound on his palm wrapped in a bandage? Did there be another assassination in the palace? He was wounded, and if he had been before, no one would have allowed him to gallop out of the palace like this.

A heart was lifted, but she didn't dare to follow it directly. First, there was still some fear that he might find her, and secondly. I haven't returned to Kyoto for three years, I don't know if the power pattern within this imperial capital has changed? She didn't want to cause trouble for anyone.

After waiting for a few hours, I finally saw him return. But he changed his horse and got into the chariot with the emperor. The curtain of sparsely woven golden threads was lowered, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on it, blurring the figures in the chariot. But it can be seen that the emperor seems to be in poor spirits, and the emperor who was as stable as a mountain when he sat upright in the past had the impression that when he returned to the palace from the outside, he leaned half of his body on the prince's shoulder in the chariot.

The palace really seems to have happened to something big in the near future.

That night, Luo Xing'er contacted the contact person that the prince had left for her outside the palace three years ago. In the middle of the night, I passed through the palace wall and entered the Huayang Palace.

In Huayang Palace, the begonias planted like a wall of flowers in the front garden, the leaves swaying gently in the night breeze, Luo Xing'er has just stepped into this courtyard. I remembered the scene of featherworms shuttling among them on a summer night.

The prince who lives in this dormitory seems to have only grown up handsome in appearance, but his temper is the same, and he is still used to silently supporting his hard work. She walked lightly into the inner sanctum, and saw him lying quietly on the couch, seemingly sleeping, but in fact frowning. Sweating coldly.

I really can't bear to leave this man who won't take care of himself!

But when he woke up and recognized her, she read in his eyes the courage to leave.

Sure enough, it still scared him.

If it was just that she didn't get back to her old face, it wouldn't prevent her from being humble, but she could continue to stay by his side. However, with this slave scar on his forehead, not only is he shameless. It's impossible to drag him anymore!

Left the notebook written in three years of blood and tears, and inquired about the injury on his hand, which was roughly healed, and she could leave with confidence.

Luo Xing'er left, although she agreed to the second prince Wang Hong's stay. For the time being, she still lives in Kyoto, but her heart has actually wanted to leave.

Staying in this familiar place will only make her see clearly all the time that she has lost the most precious thing. If a new living environment can make her avoid these things for a while, then she is willing to be a deserter who hides from her heart.

She didn't realize that because of her inferiority complex and apprehension, when she saw the prince again after three years, she didn't accurately understand the meaning in the prince's eyes when he first looked at her.

The shock was real, and then it was more distress.

He originally planned to marry a young wife, but he went to Northern Xinjiang once, but he was tortured like this. It should be him who is to blame, it was his wrong decision-making that destroyed the woman he cherished with his own hands. If a way to save it could be found, he certainly wouldn't give up. If he can't, because of that slave scar, he did cut off the possibility of taking her back to the palace, but he didn't feel disgusted because of this.

Why was she so adamant about leaving?

Regarding the matter of helping Luo Xing'er repair her appearance, although the second prince Wang Hong was anxious, he also knew that this matter could be done without urgency. Even if you can find a skilled hand in Kyoto who is good at medical knives, and fix the appearance of a woman whose identity has disappeared in Kyoto for three years, for what reason, how to avoid suspicion, and avoid leaving a handle, these are all details that need to be carefully considered.

What's more, in the medical world at that time, the medical sword is on the sidelines, not focusing on traditional medical techniques such as herb and tree pharmacology, but specializing in the medical knife skills similar to butchers. It is said that this kind of medical knife technique is extremely risky to perform, and even if there is such a doctor, it is half of the wandering Langlang who walks the rivers and lakes, and it is not visible in the market.

――――

Although Xiao Song's linen clothes are not dyed with dye, reflecting the original dark color of twine, it looks a little dirty, and it seems that it can't be washed clean, but on the appearance of the cloth woven by this body of twine, those spots and red marks are still obvious and dazzling, and the different shades of color are faintly reflected, this dress is likely to be Xiao Song's special dress when he wants to do something special.

Among the people and people who know the nature of the Xiao family's medicine house, the rumors about this medicine house and the evaluation of Xiao Chung himself are actually a little close to mixed praise and criticism.

The word "ghost" is preceded by the title of pharmacist Liao Shi by the secular folk, because of the rumors that although there are few people who have been treated by Liao Shi, it is rare for those few people to die well. It is also said that the purpose of Liao Shi's treatment for others was to test the medicine on the living, and the diseases he handled have generally turned into manic wild ghosts, as if Liao Shi himself was also entangled in a body of resentment from the dead that was difficult to dispel.

In comparison, Xiao Chung's reputation is better, but it is only slightly better than Liao Shi.

Xiao Chung is good at using two knives, one knife cuts the skin and scrapes the poison, and has saved some patients with severe external injuries, but this one is extremely risky, and there are not a few people who die because of this treatment, it is for slaughter. In addition, Xiao Song's second knife is a relatively pure slaughtering knife. It is rumored that he transferred from a butcher to a medical profession, using a butcher's knife to save people, which in today's medical world, is really only Xiao Chung who has done it, and he does not shy away from it.

For this reason, he also caused a lot of trouble for himself, after all, this medical practice to save people is still a sideline, and the experience accumulated by his predecessors is very lacking. Today's orthodox medical Taoism is actually verified with the lives of countless people, but those are all historical accumulation, unlike what Xiao Chung did in front of him, no matter what the purpose and result are, if there is the slightest problem, the person responsible can only be him.

Because Xiao Chung's practice of medicine is contrary to the usual way, the treatment scene is quite cruel, and the death rate is high, this method of practicing medicine always gives bystanders a feeling that he is not saving people but accelerating the death of patients, and the medical community often does not agree that he is qualified as a "doctor".

As for his reputation among the people, it is generally extremely light. Xiao Chung is not without self-knowledge, he knows that the practice of medicine he adheres to is still difficult to be accepted by the public, and often brings endless trouble to himself, after squatting in a few cells and changing a few places of residence, he also understood a problem that coincides with Liao Shi's views and made a similar choice.

Therefore, in recent years, Xiao Song's whereabouts are really as "traced Xiao Xiao" as his name.

And the interesting thing is that although he has not met Liao Shi in person, and talked with him about the life and morality of "strange" people like them, what he is doing today is very close to Liao Shi - either he does not save people, and if he fishes for a hand, he will have to make a lot of money, and then disappear for a while.
