Chapter 1: The Great Wu Dynasty

For three days, no matter what method Xiao Zhe used to find Lou Zheng, there was no news at all, and Lou Zheng seemed to have never appeared in this world.

Xiao Zhe sat at the desk with a haggard face, and it was not until this moment that he was sure that Lou Zheng had really disappeared in front of his eyes, and his brain was swollen and painful, as if something was always rampaging in his mind.

He rubbed his face with both hands, trying to get rid of the exhaustion on his face, leaning back on the comfortable revolving chair, but he didn't dare to tell anyone about Lou Zheng's sudden disappearance, he vaguely felt that he had something to do with it, but he couldn't figure it out.

After three days of searching, Xiao Zhe was almost sleepless, he put one hand on his forehead, his eyes were slightly closed, and he suddenly fell asleep like this.

This sleep was a little weird, and it wasn't until the sky was dark that Xiao Zhe was awakened.

His eyes suddenly widened, staring incredulously at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and he remembered, he remembered it all!

In the last days, in the interstellar, in the world of cultivation......

This time she left again......

Xiao Zhe closed his eyes in pain and despair.

The light in my heart seemed to be extinguished in an instant with the arrival of darkness.

***

Lou Zheng woke up in a blinding light.

When Mr. Sun, the medicine king, came in with the medicine bowl, he saw her staring at the top of the tent with dull eyes, as if her soul had been drained away.

The old gentleman hurriedly walked to Lou Zheng's side, picked up Lou Zheng's wrist on the outside of the quilt, and his tense face relaxed after the pulse, he let out a long breath and patted the back of Lou Zheng's hand.

"Zheng. Drink this bowl of potion quickly. ”

When Lou Zheng recognized that this was the old master's voice, she suddenly came back to her senses, she turned her head and stared at the wrinkled face of the medicine king, her eyes were hot, and she couldn't hold back the tears, and they slipped down her cheeks in an instant.

"Master!"

The next moment, a hairy head was drilled into the arms of the old Mr. Yao Wang.

The Medicine King reached out and touched Lou Zheng's forehead, and after making sure that the high fever had completely subsided, he patted Lou Zheng's back, "Ah Zheng is not afraid." Master is here! ”

A long-lost voice. Although it was in his ears, Lou Zheng felt as if it was coming from a dream.

Buried in Master's old but herb-smelling robe, Lou Zheng clutched Master's placket tightly and sobbed, "Master." It's all true, isn't it? ”

Mr. Sun, the king of medicine, thought that the child was burned and confused. Hurriedly comforted in a kind voice: "Yes." Don't be afraid, your high fever has subsided, and everything is true now. ”

Coquettish in the arms of the old man of the medicine king for a moment. Lou Zheng also quickly regained his senses.

Everything around is so familiar, screens, flower tables, bogu shelves, desks, well-lit bedrooms, this is her residence on Yaowang Mountain, and it is the boudoir where she has lived for more than ten years.

wiped away his tears and drank the decoction specially sent by the master in one gulp.

Mr. Yaowang just handed a small plate of candied dates next to him to Lou Zheng, but found that Lou Zheng's decoction had been drunk.

What's going on with this little girl today, I used to hate bitter decoction the most, when I was sick when I was young, I coaxed her and a small bowl of decoction to eat a plate of dates, but now I don't even need a date.

Lou Zheng saw the movements of Mr. Yao Wang, pulled the corners of his mouth and said to the master: "Master, I am no longer a child, and I don't need dates to drink medicine." ”

Hearing this, the Medicine King put down the diskette, touched Lou Zheng's soft black hair, and sighed lightly, "Yes, you are fifteen years old this year, you are a big girl, you can no longer stay on the Medicine King Mountain to accompany the master, in a few days, I will let you send you back to the Lou family in Shengjing, the Lou family has your father at the border to support, they will definitely find you a good husband." ”

These words gradually coincided with Lou Zheng's memory, and it was also that year that the master sent someone to send her back to Shengjing, she unintentionally saved His Royal Highness King Rui on the way, and under the protection of His Royal Highness King Rui, she arrived in Shengjing safely. Then in Shengjing heard the news of his father's defeat in the war, Liangzhou was besieged by the enemy, Liangzhou was lost within three months, his father's army withdrew from Liangzhou, Lou Zheng learned from the family letter that his father was seriously injured, she urgently asked to the king of Rui, and with the help of the king of Rui, it took ten days to rush to his father's side.

But it was a step late, her father was seriously injured, and she was framed by her colleagues, and became a rebel who colluded with foreign thieves, and the entire Lou family was affected, and her father finally died in her arms, desperately taking her last breath to let her escape away and never return to Shengjing.

Lou Zheng pulled back his distant memories and asked Master, "Master, I have been in seclusion in Yaowang Mountain for more than half a year, and I have almost forgotten what time it is. ”

The Medicine King laughed, "Ah Zheng, it's February of the tenth year of Taikang, and today is February Erlong is raising his head." ”

In February, there were still four months before my father's incident in Liangzhou.

Lou Zheng pursed his lips and lay down on the bed again, "Master, I want to rest." ”

"Okay, you can sleep again, I will call the medicine slave to guard you."

Lou Zheng nodded, and closed her eyes, she could clearly hear the master clean up the medicine bowl, and then deliberately relaxed as he left.

It wasn't until the footsteps completely disappeared that Lou Zheng opened his eyes again.

The tent was a rain-soaked tent, which the medicine slave helped her change at the end of January.

She's really back! Really got a chance to start over!

Thinking of the Nameless Hall where she disappeared in front of Xiao Zhe and then reappeared, the fierce beast totem in her palm instantly turned ink, and the ink-colored totem broke free from Lou Zheng's palm, instantly turning into a black light that merged with the silver light in the Nameless Palace.

Then Lou Zheng's eyes went dark, and he only heard the voice of light floating in the distant void, "Little girl, you succeeded, the old man was free, and you will also get what you deserve." ”

When she woke up again, she returned to the Dawu Dynasty, if it weren't for those memories that were too real, and the palm of her hand still left the faint mark of that strange beast totem, Lou Zheng might have thought that this was a long and absurd dream at all.

But the extra memories kept reminding her that they were all real.

In the moment when the ink-colored beast totem broke out of his palm, Lou Zheng's original lost memory of the small world of cultivation also returned.

That's nice. Everything finally started from scratch, and this time, she no longer had to worry about leaving, parting.

Thinking of this, Lou Zheng unloaded the fatigue of his whole body and closed his eyes, this time he rested, and his body and mind were completely relaxed.

The old Mr. Yaowang walked outside the courtyard, and the medicine slave who was drying herbs in the courtyard hurriedly ran over.

"Sir, how is the little lady?"

"It's all right."

The medicine slave followed behind the old man of the medicine king, "Why doesn't the old gentleman look a little happy?" ”

The Medicine King sighed. "I just feel like Ah Zheng has grown up in an instant."

The medicine slave paused before he hesitated and said, "Old man." The letter from the Lou family that you received in the medicine house before seems to have been accidentally seen by the little lady. ”

The medicine king was stunned, thinking of the letters written by the Lou family, no wonder this kid ...... Ay......

"Now that the little lady has seen it, you can bring it to her! Take good care of the little lady. ”

The medicine slave squatted down and said "snort". Just about to leave. Listen to the old Mr. Yao Wang again. "Hezhi Nu packed up a room and came out, Hongxiu is coming back."

The medicine slave looked at the old man of the medicine king in confusion, and the medicine king slapped the medicine slave angrily. "The eldest brother of your little lady, even your little lady doesn't know, how can you know."

The medicine slave said "uh-huh" twice, afraid that the old gentleman would beat her again, so he hurriedly ran away.

Early the next morning, the medicine slave came out of the cubicle next to Lou Zheng's bedroom with a yawn, and saw the little lady actually boiling water and cooking in the small kitchen in the yard.

The medicine slave was startled and hurriedly ran over.

"Little lady, leave these rough jobs to the slaves, your illness is just right! If the old gentleman sees it, the old gentleman will punish the slave. ”

Lou Zheng smiled at the medicine slave, and reached out to help the medicine slave adjust the crooked ribbon tied in the bun.

"I'm all right, I have a rare opportunity today, you go and help me roll out the noodles that I have woken up, and we will make dumplings for Master to eat today."

The medicine slave raised his face and looked at the smile on the little lady's face, and his eyes were confused by this smile.

The little lady looks so good when she really laughs!

The little lady is the daughter of the big family, but she has been fostered in Yaowang Mountain since she was a child, in the heart of the medicine slave, the little lady does not know how many grievances she has suffered, not every two or three years, going to visit General Lou in Biansai is the most alive day of the little lady, only at that time, the medicine slave can see the little lady smile like this.

Although the little lady is very smart and extremely talented in medicine, she is not treated well by the Shengjingli people. Mr. Yaowang was afraid that the little lady would be sad, and he didn't let the little lady know every time he sent a letter from Shengjing.

Although the little lady cooks deliciously, she never cooks easily.

The medicine slave thought that there would be delicious dumplings for a while, and all these chaotic thoughts were left behind by her.

When breakfast was ready, Mr. Yaowang also got up.

Lou Zheng personally brought the dumplings to the medicine king.

The Medicine King laughed, "It's rare for Ah Zheng to cook, Master needs to eat more." ”

Lou Zheng gave the medicine again, and the king personally adjusted the dipping sauce.

In the flower hall of the small courtyard, Lou Zheng did not sit at the table and have breakfast with Mr. Yaowang as usual, but stood beside Mr. Yaowang and served him to eat.

The cyan porcelain bowl was filled with well-shaped white fat dumplings, all kinds of fillings, a few appetizing side dishes were placed next to it, and there were a few dipping dishes in front of Mr. Yaowang.

Since the first dumpling was eaten, Mr. Yaowang nodded again and again, praising Lou Zheng's craftsmanship and improving again.

After eating most of the bowl of dumplings, Lou Zheng brought a cup of warm white water.

Mr. Yaowang saw the transparent warm water in the celadon tea cup, and asked strangely: "Why is it not tea?" ”

Lou Zheng shook his head, "Master, warm water nourishes your stomach, the tea you drank before with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar is not good for your body, if you really want to drink tea, when the first spring rain falls this year, I will pick the first spring tea for you and stir-fry it for you myself." ”

"Why, there is a difference between this, which of those old teas was not bought with a lot of money."

Seeing that Lou Zheng didn't follow, he had to drink a glass of warm water.

Lou Zheng asked Zhinu to clean up the table, and then sat down next to the old Mr. Yaowang.

"Say, early in the morning, it's early to get up and make dumplings for the old man, if you have anything to do with Master."

As soon as Mr. Yaowang finished speaking, Lou Zheng stood up and bowed deeply to Mr. Yaowang, "Master, I'm going to Liangzhou!" Please answer Master. ”

The medicine king frowned, he stared at Lou Zheng, a pair of eyes seemed to shoot out of the essence, he didn't expect Lou Zheng to make such a request.

"What's the matter, why do you suddenly want to go to Liangzhou, your father didn't send a henchman to Yaowang Mountain to pick you up, there are few people in Yaowang Mountain, there are a total of five people living here, how do you want to go, Liangzhou is so far away, it's not safe!"

At this time, there were only Lou Zheng and Yao Wang in the hall, and Lou Zheng had to use a high fever to dream that his father had an accident and told Yao Wang that if she didn't go to Liangzhou to see, she would definitely not be at ease.

The medicine king frowned and looked at Lou Zheng, seeing that the little girl was kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, he finally had to compromise, "It's okay if you want to go, wait for your senior brother to come back, let him accompany you to Liangzhou, and other people here are not at ease to accompany you as a teacher." ”

Lou Zheng only knew at this time that he had a senior brother.

The Medicine King frowned at the little girl and sighed, "Your senior brother started ten years earlier than you, and when you were still in your infancy, he insisted on going to Loulan with the caravan, but the old man couldn't stop him, so he could only let him go." I thought that for so many years, this unfilial guy had already died outside, but I didn't think about it, I received a message from him a few days ago, and he was coming back, just in the last few days. The teacher has asked Zhinu to clean up the room for him. ”

"But the elder brother has just returned."

Old Mr. Yaowang laughed, "What is polite to your senior brother, there are only three of us left in our vein, although you don't know your senior brother, but your senior brother still remembers you, the letter he brought said that he brought you back with a lot of things in Loulan." Your senior brother has a good martial arts, and with him by your side, you can rest assured that you are a teacher. ”

Lou Zheng could only nod and agree for the time being.

Lou Zheng doesn't really care if this senior brother who has never met is useful, all she cares about is whether she can appease her master and let her go to Liangzhou to find her father.

At that time, even if this senior brother can't help with anything, she will be able to reach Liangzhou safely alone, and she will no longer be the Lou Zheng who only knew medical skills before.

According to what Mr. Yaowang said, the senior brother will return to Yaowang Mountain soon.

Lou Zheng has already begun to prepare his luggage to Liangzhou.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare, she doesn't plan to bring more luggage, just bring a little more money, two horses to prepare, and riding a horse to Liangzhou is much faster than taking a carriage.

Worried about the serious deterioration of physical strength, Lou Zheng would exercise alone in his room after dark every night in the past few days, and then ride a horse around Yaowang Mountain in the morning, and go to the side peak of Yaowang Mountain to collect medicine in the afternoon.

Mr. Yaowang often looked at the back of Lou Zheng going out with the medicine basket with worried eyes, and obviously found that Lou Zheng seemed to have something different, but as a master, he didn't have a way.

On the tenth day of the first month of February, it was the day when the senior brother returned to Yaowang Mountain, and in the afternoon, Lou Zheng helped the old Mr. Yaowang down the mountain, waiting at the foot of the mountain for the return of the senior brother who had not been seen for many years.
