The weather in mid-May is a little hot, passers-by can still see the sweat on their foreheads in only single clothes, and there are many roadside stalls selling herbal tea and cold food, and the seats are full of people coming and going, and it is very lively.

Xichao and his party went directly to Changzhou without stopping, the five masters and servants all wore human skin masks, and the four Hongming changed into men's clothes so that they could act conveniently later.

Changzhou is the largest state city north of Shangjing, the prosperity is no less than Shangjing, the Xichao Dynasty this trip is to open grain and pave iron shops, the second is to observe the customs and customs of the state city, as well as the appointment and dismissal of local officials, and lay the groundwork for the mastery of talents in the future.

The carriage was driving on the wide official road, Xi Chao leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, there was still a distance from Changzhou City, and his mind kept thinking about the road to be taken next, which was difficult and unpredictable, but the time was too tight.

On the left side of the road is a small forest, where farmers often go to the forest to pick up some branches to burn, and sometimes they can also hunt some small prey like rabbits.

"Did you smell anything?" Green Yin frowned slightly and asked the people around him.

"Bloody gas." Green Qin is very sure.

Both of them had seen blood, and the smell of blood was enough to determine the source of the grove, and the two looked at each other and decided to ignore it, and drove the carriage much faster.

As the saying goes, if you don't look for trouble, trouble will automatically come to the door, and the two greens wanted to avoid it quickly, but they didn't expect a black shadow to rush out of the grove and block the carriage, and the bloody atmosphere was even stronger.

"Get out of the way!" The green voice snapped, and the horse's footsteps slowed.

"Save my son-in-law." A man covered in blood stood in the middle of the road blocking the carriage's path, his eyes anxiously crying for help.

The two greens saw that the injuries on the man's body were caused by swords, and they either ran into the enemy or were robbed, no matter what the situation was, it was not something they were willing to take.

"Get out of the way!" The green tone is low again as a warning.

"My son-in-law is seriously injured, and if he is not treated, his life will not be guaranteed." The man's face was full of pleading, "Please save my son-in-law's life." The man bowed deeply to the two greens.

"What's the matter?" Xichao, who was woken up, stretched out his hand and half-lifted the curtain to look out.

"Master, this person refuses to let me, and wants me to wait to save his son-in-law." Lu Qin replied, her eyes staring at the injured man for a moment, afraid that he would not be able to ask for help and take risks.

"Trouble." Xi Chao was the most reluctant to take on such a troublesome matter, and there was obvious rejection in his cold words.

"Please save my son-in-law's life." When the man heard the young man's words, his heart suddenly cooled in half, but he couldn't let go of this only opportunity, and now he couldn't wait any longer.

"Ask the son, if the son saves my son's life, just ask." The man let go.

Xi Chao frowned, there was no expression on her face, she was not short of silver and there was nothing to owe others, this condition was nothing new.

Seeing that the young man did not answer, the man said anxiously: "My son-in-law is a wealthy businessman in Linzhou, and saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and my son-in-law will be grateful for saving my son-in-law." ”

"Linzhou?" Xi Chao looked at Hong Ming, who was in charge of the information of well-known people from all over the world.

"To say that there are indeed many wealthy businessmen in Linzhou, among which the Xu family is second to none." Hong Ming poked his head out to look at the injured man, turned his head and nodded to Xi Chao, confirming the identity of the person who came.

"You two go down and have a look." Xichao ordered Hongming and Hongrui to go down to save people.

"Yes." Hong Ming and Hong Rui got out of the carriage directly and walked towards the man.

"Where's your son-in-law?" Hong Ming asked.

When the man heard this, his heart was half relieved, and he hurriedly ran behind a thick tree in the grove and carried one person out.

The man on his back was born very well, about twenty years old, all over his body were wounded by sharp weapons, dressed in wealth and nobility, the most important thing is a side of the jade around his waist, the best mutton fat white jade, and the word "noon" engraved in the middle is very special.

Hongming got what she wanted to know, nodded at Hongrui, Hongrui stepped forward to check his injuries, dealt with them briefly, walked back to the carriage and asked, what should people do.

The carriage that the Xi Dynasty took was very spacious, the couches on both sides could sit and sleep, a small square table was placed in the middle, used to put refreshments, the small table was movable, and the baffles under the couch on both sides were opened after putting down the small table, and the pair could be connected to both sides, which was a ready-made bed that could accommodate four people to lie down.

"Hongming, Hongrui followed with the man." Xi Chao planned to put the people on the carriage, which was spacious but not large enough for two men.

"Yes." Hong Ming answered, walked back to the man and said what his master meant.

The man twisted his eyebrows and finally disagreed, how could he hand over the safety of his son to outsiders, if that person had bad intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's up to you to go or stay." Hong Ming's eyes showed a look of ridicule, "I was still hesitant at this time, why didn't I think about it when I stopped the car in the first place." ”

The man looked at the unconscious son, "I gritted my teeth and agreed, what if I didn't agree, it was obvious that these two martial arts in front of me were really going to be evil, how could he resist the injured person."

The man who was in a coma was carried into the carriage, looking at the man lying on the couch opposite, Xi Chao looked carefully and said: "When I dozed off, someone sent a pillow, and the word 'noon' in the middle of the jade pendant, Yutong language, the word is not a 'Xu' word, presumably this is Xu Chenlin, a wealthy businessman in Linzhou, the son of the Xu family."

"Green Piano." Xi Chao summoned Luqin to enter to re-examine the injury for Xu Chenlin, this person has to live well.

After a while, Luqin frowned and didn't be able to stretch out: "He was poisoned, although he has sealed his heart, but this poison is a little difficult to solve." ”

"What is needed?" Xi Chao said casually, as long as he could solve it.

"Chalcedony." Lu Qin looked at the master uncertainly, chalcedony is a royal secret medicine, the preparation is extremely complicated and rigorous, and the required herbs are precious and often collected It is not only a matter of time, it can be said that it is difficult to find thousands of gold, is it worth using secret medicine for a man from a businessman?

"Control the spread of the virus first, and then discuss it when you enter the city." It is impossible for Xi Chao to waste chalcedony in vain to save an irrelevant person, and the choice is not in his own hands. Besides, her father's poison needed to be suppressed by chalcedony, and there was not much chalcedony, so when she went out, her father had to let her bring a bottle on her body as a precaution, so she didn't want to take this risk, the price was too great.

"Yes." Lu Qin fed Xu Chenlin the antitoxification pill that inhibited toxins neatly, and after he was busy, he got out of the carriage and sat back in his place.

Hong Ming and Hong Rui waited on the side of the road with an injured man, and the two ignored the man's agitation, and after waiting for a moment, they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them.

In front of the entry is a simple carriage, Hong Ming nodded to the driver, the driver turned over and left, Hong Ming sat on the frame, Hong Rui called the stunned man, and got into the carriage.

How did the carriage come about, when Xi Chao moved the idea of saving people, Hongming felt that the carriage couldn't let go of so many people, so he gestured to the secret guard who was not far away, and the secret guard got a credit light work, and he went back and forth to find a carriage with one person on the road and bought it with a lot of money.

This head Xi Chao and the others entered Changzhou City, did not stop waiting for Hongming and Hongrui behind them, but went directly to Fengyang Building, which is located in the prosperous area of the city, and entered from the back door.

When the three of them entered the city gate, the man couldn't sit still, so he was about to get out of the car to find the carriage that should be waiting not far from the city gate, but was stopped by Hongrui's words.

"The master will not stay here at the city gate and wait." Hongrui said: "If you follow us, you can meet your son-in-law." ”

After hearing this, the man quieted down, and his original anxious mood gradually calmed down.

Xichao washed up and had lunch, and the three of Hongming arrived and sent Luqin to deal with it.

There was Lu Qin in Hong Ming and Hong Rui who went back to the room to freshen up first, and Lu Qin glanced at the man and said, "Follow me." He led the man into the room on the left.

When the man saw Xu Chen lying on the bed, the big stone in his heart fell, and his feet were slightly unstable, and he said, "Thank you." ”

"Your son-in-law has been poisoned, but fortunately, his heart is undamaged and he can delay for a while, if you want to seek medical advice, hurry up." Lu Qin briefly explained Xu Chenlin's injury, "And he should not move to avoid the wound cracking." ”

"Thank you." The man is aware of Xu Chenlin's poisoning, otherwise he would not have ended up where he is now, and now it is difficult to find a doctor in Changzhou, and he is also injured and is really powerless, so he has to open his mouth to help: "Please also ask the little brother to help find a doctor who can detoxify." ”

Lu Qin observed the appearance of the man's wolf, and knew his suffering, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Yes, but you have to have a number in your heart about this poison." "At the end of the conversation, everyone is smart.

The man was shocked, and nodded uncertainly, the pursuit all the way had exhausted him, how could he not know that this matter was not so simple.

Lu Qin sent the servants who stayed in the courtyard to invite a few more famous doctors in the city, and ordered people to prepare food and bathing water for the two of them.

The little maid carried the bathing needs into the house, let the man wash off the dust, and prepared the wound medicine, "If necessary, you can call the villain, and the villain is outside the house." ”

The man thanked him and took his brand-new clothes around the screen to bathe.

The doctor came quickly, there were four of them, and after entering the house, the man had already packed up and waited to see the doctor's pulse.

"How?" The man was nervous.

The doctor shook his head one by one and sighed, the man's heart instantly cooled half, and he said hurriedly: "What the hell, can the poison be solved?" ”

"This son's injuries are fine, and there is nothing the old man can do about poisoning." The one-year-old doctor had a sad face.

The other three doctors also nodded, and the man was like entering an ice cave in an instant, "What kind of poison did you get?" ”

"It's the Broken Soul." The old man said, "Fortunately, the heart was sealed in time, otherwise it would have been fatal within three moments after being poisoned." ”

Broken soul, actually broken soul! The man suddenly stood unsteadily, and almost fell to the ground, and the broken soul was one of the ten intractable poisons.

The doctor said a few words of comfort and left, and the man suddenly came to his senses and ran out of the door to find the rather cold young man.

Xi Chao listened to Hongming's return, although Xu Chenlin's identity was the head of the wealthy businessmen in Linzhou, his business was all over the three kingdoms, but anyone who could make a fortune would intervene, which showed that he was a talent.

All over the Three Kingdoms, this is the most attractive to the Xi Dynasty, her original purpose is money, and with silver in her hands, various measures in the court can be implemented, and with silver, she is not afraid of disasters, Xu Chenlin is really a treasure that fell from the sky.

"Master, the man asks to see you." Lu Qin entered the house and replied: "It seems that I came to ask the master to save people." ”

"You go and tell him about it." Xi Chao instructed Lu Qin to deal with it, got up and walked to the desk and motioned for Hongming to study ink, unfold the paper and press it with a paperweight, and pick up the pen to ink.

As soon as he saw the green qin, the man was the first to speak: "Is there any way?" He had calmed down, at least he could suppress the anxiety in his heart.

"Ever heard of chalcedony?" Green Qin gets straight to the point.

"Royal Elixir." The man had to face up to the fact that the man in front of him was indeed a real woman, not only her, but the other three people he had seen who were also dressed as servants were all women, and they had not intended to hide their identities from the beginning, so what was the origin of that young man, as mentioned chalcedony.

"Yes, but even if you send someone to Beijing to ask for medicine now, it may not be too late." Lu Qin said: "My master just happened to have a bottle in his hand, but I don't know what your son-in-law thinks?" ”

What do you think? The man was asked confused, Xu Chenlin is still unconscious, what did you let him think, no, that's not what he said, isn't it......

"What do you want?" The man is not a fool, the importance of chalcedony has been calculated in his heart, his sharp eyes shoot directly at the green qin, chalcedony is a secret medicine that the royal family does not pass on, how can it be taken out for no reason to cheap outsiders, so there must be a picture, the picture will not be gold, silver, pearls and jade, people who can take out chalcedony will not be short of money, if he really can't be a subordinate to the master, no wonder he wants to ask what the son thinks.

"If you want anything, you have to wait for your son-in-law to meet with my master." Lu Qin took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, "Wait for your son-in-law to wake up before making a decision." ”

The man was confused, but it was good to be able to use chalcedony, and now it was impossible to think that no matter what was required to save his life was more important than anything else.

Lu Qin found a teacup and poured warm water, opened the jade bottle and took out a small white pill and divided it into two, half of it was placed in the cup, the other half was withdrawn from the jade bottle, and shook the teacup to make the pill completely dissolved in the water, the water took on a turquoise color for a while, and handed the teacup to the man and let him feed the person on the bed to drink.

The man carefully took the teacup, came to the bed, helped the boy on the bed and carefully fed the medicine.

After Lu Qin and the other man finished feeding the medicine, he said: "He will wake up in another hour, and the rest of the matter will be decided by your son-in-law, you should know the importance of chalcedony." ”

After hearing this, the man was slightly shocked and a bad premonition spread, "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Qin calmly explained: "Only half of the chalcedony is not enough to detoxify all the poison on his body, and if you want to detoxify, you must pay the due price." The words have been clarified, and it depends on the two masters and servants in front of them.

Lu Qin said no more and left the man with flugging hair.

"I've taken the medicine and woke up in an hour." The green piano came back to show the light.

"Hmm." Xi Chao waved his hand, leaving Hongming and Hongrui to let Lianglu go down to rest.

When Xi Chao entered the house, Xu Chenlin had just woken up, and the man was feeding him water.

The two of them looked over when they heard the sound, the man was not surprised that he had a relationship with Xi Chao, Xu Chenlin looked at the young man with direct eyes, and secretly praised the young man for his good life, if it wasn't for the compelling momentum, some people would believe it if it was a woman.

"Childe." The man called back Xu Chenlin, and before he could explain the poisoning, the boy came.

"Thank you for saving your life, and please see the little boy if you are inconvenient in your lower body." Xu Chen bowed his hand to show his gratitude.

"Not necessarily." Xichao opened coldly.

"Don't thank you for your kindness, if you have a place where you can get Xu, just ask." Xu Chenlin saw that the man, who was his bodyguard, Zhao Qin, gave him a look, and knew that there were some doorways in this, so he said these words as a temptation.

Xi Chao didn't care much about the small movements of the two of them, raised his hand to signal Hongming, who followed, and sat at the table and poured a cup of herbal tea.

"Great grace is not thankful, those are polite words." Hongming stepped forward and said: "Son's body is broken, but all the doctors in Changzhou City who have some ability are helpless, and it just so happens that he met my master, and my master's life should not be extinguished, and my master Chalcedony rescued him, Xu Gongzi's heart must not need to be said if he is a mirror." ”

Xu Chenlin heard the secret sound of the secret word, one of his own identities was revealed by one word, and the other was the royal secret medicine chalcedony used for the poison of the soul, which owes a lot of human debt, and now the young man's attitude is like this, I am afraid that there is a plan.

Hong Ming saw the glint in Xu Chenlin's eyes and knew that he knew what was at stake, and said: "The poison on Xu Gongzi's body is only half solved, and the rest depends on Xu Gongzi's meaning." ”

"Dare to ask the little boy what he wants?" Xu Chen was in the right way, his eyes did not leave the indifferent young man at the table.

Hongming took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Chenlin and said, "Xu Gongzi thinks it's okay to sign it." "What is written on the paper is what the Xi Dynasty needs.

Xu Chenlin took it and was immediately surprised, the good guy himself is a sheep in the mouth of the tiger, what is said on the paper is a contract, an incredible content, if you want to survive, you have to use chalcedony, after using it, you will sell yourself to the boy for five years, within five years, everything the boy asks him to do must be completed, obviously the boy wants more, even the deed is ready, can he not agree? Looking at the young man's eyes, he changed his eyes, and smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that this time it was really planted.

"This, not appropriate?" Zhao Qin was angry when he saw the content on the paper, he really wanted to scold the young man for bullying people too much, which was obviously difficult for a strong man.

"Could it be that Xu Gongzi wants to use gold and silver to break off?" The corners of Hongming's lips hooked and teased: "Chalcedony is not available to everyone. "This is to warn Xu Chen to be careful when he leaves, or to be smarter.

"Why?" Although Xu Chenlin had no way to retreat, he still wanted to hear how the young man 'convinced' himself.

"It's up to you whether you choose or not." Xi Chao looked at Xu Chenlin calmly and said, "I had no intention of saving a trouble at the beginning. ”

There is nothing to say at this point, Xu Chenlin can only secretly say that his years are unfavorable, and now there is only one result left for him to choose or not, but I don't know if the young man has another plan for his Xu family's status, with the young man's indifference to the calm and noble young man in front of him is not ordinary, plus he can take out chalcedony, either a person from the royal family or something related to it, but whenever the court is involved, the Xu family, as a businessman, can only grovel.
