- The few pieces of news revealed in Liao Shi's words surprised Chen Jiu at the same time, but also brought her a very convincing hope. It's just that in addition to being happy, she suddenly wanted to ask Liao Shi a question, but considering that Liao Shi had never mentioned any news related to her relatives and friends in the past three years, she couldn't help but hesitate again.

However, Liao Shi could see something from the expression on Chen Jiu's face at this time, in fact, whether it was someone who had been with him for a long time, or someone who had only heard some rumors about him, they all wanted to know a question: Is the demon doctor who used the child's medicine to refine into a puppet in the rumor the same brother of the medicine ghost Liao Shi? Or should it be said, is Liao Shi really in the same league as the notorious demon doctor?

This is an issue that should be very sensitive to Liao Shi. If a stranger dared to ask this question in front of Liao Shi, he might be directly put down by a handful of highly poisonous powder because he was angered, and if his friend asked so, he might bet on a rare friendship for this.

What Chen Jiu really wanted to ask was only referring to Liao Shi's true identity, vaguely tying him to Lin Shan's identity, but he didn't care much about whether he had anything to do with the demon doctor. However, if she really asked, the question would inevitably involve rumors of demon doctors, and the question itself would naturally become complicated.

But Chen Jiu didn't take into account a problem, since Liao Shi was able to say that to her just now, he already had the intention of not treating her as an outsider, and after stepping through the barrier of this relationship, why not talk about private matters between his own people?

So, when the aged wine is still hesitating. Suddenly, I heard Liao Shi take the initiative to speak, and asked in a very casual tone: "Are you curious, who am I?" ”

What he said sounded a little contradictory at first glance, of course Chen Jiu knew who he was, he was a pharmacist with superb medicinal skills and could be called the first person in Nanzhao, and he was a medicine ghost with a very bad reputation among the people of Nanzhao and a rumored fondness to use live people to test medicines, but he was a person whom Lin Shan, the younger brother of Nanzhao Junism, trusted and respected very much.

But that's what Chenjiu already knows, and what she really wants to know now. It is another identity of Liao Shi.

At this moment, Liao Shi took the initiative to speak, opened a door for her, and signaled that she could ask directly.

Chen Jiu was stunned, she looked at Liao Shi's wrinkled but very calm face, didn't say a word for a long time, and finally just nodded.

A smile suddenly appeared on Liao Shi's face, and then he said slowly: "In this world. The only person who can make me talk about my life experience in person is Lin Shan. If you really want to know, just ask him! It may not be easier to ask him to say this than it is to ask me to say it, but if one day he is willing to tell you about these things, no matter what the outcome, it should be the kind of result you are most looking forward to. ”

Liao Shi's words have a double meaning when they reach the last sentence. He had left a yardstick for the wine to measure the progress of something. Chen Jiu's eyes, who understood this, gradually showed gratitude, and after staring at Liao Shi for a moment, she bowed deeply.

Liao Shi calmly accepted the worship of Chen Jiu, and it seemed that at that moment, his rickety back straightened a little, and he really stood in front of a junior like an elder with great virtue, and received the worship of the junior because he promised something.

After Chen Jiu stood up straight, Liao Shisi pondered for a moment and then said, "When I mentioned Lin Shan's junior brother to you just now, I just reminded you of some kind of turnaround, but in front of him, you had better not ask about it." And don't try to find his brother yourself to try to make it happen, because it's very likely to anger him, remember? ”

When Chen Jiu heard this, the originally smiling eyes in his eyes suddenly cooled down, and he nodded very seriously.

Liao Shi seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden from his shoulders, let out a long sigh of relief, waved his hand for some reason, and turned to leave.

The old wine is still standing in place. watched Liao Shi go away step by step. After today's conversation, Liao Shi's status in her heart has undergone a turning point, and it has also affected her feelings, because it is obvious that with Lin Shan's departure from here. It's time for Liao Shi to go.

One is the person she yearns for and attaches to, and the other is now equivalent to her relatives and elders, both of whom are gone, and this parting feeling makes her feel at a loss and extremely reluctant, but she is powerless to do anything to change this.

And when she saw the rickety back walking away and blurred, and finally withdrew her gaze, and her eyes gradually became wet, she suddenly saw that the blurred figure seemed to be running back again.

Raised her hand and quickly wiped her eyes, wiping away the splash that had just overflowed from the corners of her eyes, she really saw Liao Shi coming back again, and he still ran over.

"Pharmacist, you ......" Looking at Liao Shi, who was panting slightly and running closer, Chen Jiu was surprised.

Liao Shi took a long breath after standing still, and then said slowly: "I heard that you are good at making wine, there is a kind of wine I don't know if you can make zuò?" ”

Chen Jiu heard the second half of what Liao Shi said and changed a word, the front also said "winemaking", and when it came to the back, it became "making zuò", realizing that this matter might not be simple, he quickly condensed his mind and asked, "What kind of wine does the pharmacist need?" Despite the commands. ”

Liao Shi described while pondering: "Specifically, it should not be considered wine, but just a kind of clear water that smells of wine. ”

"Alcohol-smelling water?" Chen Jiu muttered and repeated what Liao Shi said, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.

"If you can make this kind of wine within half a month, it can be regarded as a great favor to Lin Shan, and maybe he will take you with him because of this." Liao Shi smiled and stroked his beard when he said this, but then his expression gradually became stricter, and his gaze fell gently on Chen Jiu's eyes, and he said: "But this kind of wine must not smell like wine, otherwise it will hurt him." When you make zuò, find a few more children to taste it, and if you can't do it, don't force it, remember? ”

"Remember." Chen Jiu nodded seriously. Although she hadn't asked Liao Shi what she wanted this special wine to be used for, all she remembered in her mind were things related to Lin Shan, so when she heard Liao Shi mention the word "half a month", she quickly thought about it, and she roughly understood, and her eyes gradually showed light.

……

The messenger who suddenly arrived when Lin Shan was dining with Liao Shi was actually from Kyoto, which was completely different from the secret messenger who usually ran back and forth between the two places in the northwest. Came to the study with the messenger, knowing the true origin of this dusty messenger, Lin Shan thought that he had brought the emperor's secret decree, and was about to make a big gift to the king, but was stopped by the messenger in advance.

"Lord Lin doesn't have to be like this." Seeing that although Lin Shan was the emperor's righteous brother and was also highly relied on by the emperor, he was thousands of miles away, and he still adhered to the emperor's courtesy for the emperor's righteous brother in Beijing, and the messenger's heart couldn't help but be a little touched.

Even if the token he brought was really from His Majesty's hand, it was a secret document, and there was nothing wrong with the secret affairs. But what he brought this time was really not His Majesty's handwriting, but Lin Shan didn't question it at all, which shows that his courtesy and loyalty to His Majesty were completely from his heart and naturally revealed.

And held the small square box with both hands and handed it out, the messenger bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "This thing is really entrusted by the Song family Ruan Gongzi, and with Ruan Gongzi's advice, the items in the box must be moved lightly." ”

Hearing the messenger mention Ruan Gongzi, Lin Shan's heart quickly appeared with the figure of an old man, he just listened to the messenger's statement that the small square box was not from the palace, and his expression eased, and soon became solemn again.

More than ten years ago, it was roughly in this part of northern Xinjiang that Lin Shan met Ruan Chenggang, who had worked for Wang Chi in the border army tent for several years. In non-wartime, the two often talked with each other, and often gained some new ideas from each other, and in the later wartime, the two also fought side by side many times, and the friendship between friends was tempered in iron and blood.

It's a pity that Ruan Chenggang died too early, and he didn't even take a look at the victory scene of Wang Chi's entry into Beijing, which was not only a great regret, but also made his comrades-in-arms feel helpless and depressed, and it was difficult to disperse for a long time.

Now that the son of the deceased has grown up, it is estimated that the time is approaching, and it is almost the day of his coronation, but Lin Shan's impression of this son is still only the figure of a child and the words like hooks on a few short letterheads that have been sparsely exchanged in the past year.

Receiving the small square box respectfully handed by the messenger, Lin Shan thought about some old things, and his hand holding the box couldn't help but stagnate. When the messenger saw this, he remembered something, and pulled out his sleeve and placed it across the box. Lin Shan's gaze fell on the dagger, and he came back to his senses, and naturally thanked him, and then took the dagger to cut the hard fire paint on the edge of the box.

Seeing this, the messenger immediately bowed his hand and said: "Secret letter secret matter, subordinates should avoid it first." ”

Lin Shan nodded and handed back the dagger. When the messenger had gone out, he lifted the lid of the box, and found in it a brown paper bag that had been bulging all the time.

In fact, Lin Shan is no stranger to this box, the wood paint on it is both fireproof and waterproof, and the sealing fire paint is also the same, and the kraft paper in the box is more flammable, but it can be used as the first choice for moisture-proof. Seeing these two layers, he could already understand that the bag contained paper objects.

The external forces that can damage the paper, except for water and fire, are broken. Lin Shan remembered what the messenger had conveyed just now, so he didn't tear the letter bag directly with his hands, but walked to the sword stand in the corner of the bookshelf with the paper bag.

Although the sword that Ke Jian made by the mountain, although it was identified by Lin Shan as not being used for brute force hard slashing, the sharp edge of the sword was still a good product, and it was not a problem to blow hair and break hair. Lin Shan pulled out his sword halfway from the sheath, closed the paper bag, and only knocked it lightly, and the mouth of the bag was immediately neatly disconnected.

The bag contains this booklet, although it is blank, but it is not difficult to see that this is the kind of booklet that is dedicated to businessmen to do accounts, which is also suitable for Ruan Luo's status as a businessman today. Lin Shan smiled slightly, pushed back the hilt of the sword, opened a few pages of the booklet, and soon saw a piece of tissue paper sandwiched in the booklet, and the look in his eyes suddenly became solemn-
