67 [Soul Seeking Flower]

Tong Dabao was stunned, and was suddenly taken away by Zhanzhao, Gongsun took out a knife and cut his fingers, and released some blood, which made his second monk confused.

Gongsun took the bottles and jars and tinkered for a long time, and said to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "The speculation is right, Tong Dabao's blood can indeed cure the poison of the intoxicating heart flower." ”

Zhan Zhao frowned after hearing this, "Sure enough, how many people can be saved by one person's blood?" It seems that Peach Blossom Niangniang only left Tong Dabao an antidote, and she wanted to kill a lot of people. ”

"And after that?" Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, "Now that the other party thinks that Zhao Pu is dead, and Zhao Yuanzuo has also entered the palace, it is estimated that he came to the most difficult post, in other words, he may have to do it soon." ”

"We have to see the right time, Tong Dabao may be a key, once it is early or late, it is possible that the other party will see the flaws and fall short!" Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang holding his arms and lowering his head, and his elbow touched him lightly, "What the hell did you think of?" ”

Bai Yutang smiled faintly, "Do you know that the Dao is a ghost idea?" Maybe it's a good idea. ”

Zhan Zhao saw that he was proud, and leaned over, "What idea?" ”

Bai Yutang lowered his head and said a few words in a low voice in his ear.

Zhan Zhao touched his chin and raised his head, "This trick...... It's a bit of a loss, but it's doable. ”

"What's missing?"

Zhao Pu, who was "confined" for nothing, didn't know when Lu Dao came over, and he was still holding the little fourth son who was used to "relieve boredom".

Xiao Sizi's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhanzhao curiously, and then at Bai Yutang.

Zhao Pu just held the little fourth son to make trouble with Gongsun, and Gongsun pushed him away to look very gentlemanly, and said, "Go, while coaxing the child to go, don't make trouble." ”

The shadow guards were all snickering.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Pu like that, holding the little four dolls, and they really looked like a daddy.

……

"Ahem." Zhan Zhao coughed and said it again to Zhao Pu.

The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth were raised, and he patted Bai Yutang's shoulder, "Good plan!" ”

After speaking, seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang raise their eyebrows, they added, "But it's not enough damage!" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned, "Do you want to lose more?" ”

Zhao Pu smiled, "Of course!" ”

……

Put down the Kaifeng Mansion and everyone went to prepare without mentioning it, and said that it was in the palace.

After dispersing, Zhao Zhen hurried to the backyard, he walked all the way, and felt that something didn't seem right today.

How so? Why do those Ouchi masters who often follow him look so energetic today? One or two with their heads held high, more powerful and confident than usual.

Zhao Zhen was a little confused, in fact, he didn't know what to do, Yin Hou was idle all morning, went to the imperial garden and took a bottle of imperial wine to drink, drank it happily, walked around the courtyard, and gave a word of advice to the dozen or so masters of the inner house...... So that group of masters was reborn.

Zhao Zhen walked into the imperial garden and saw a soft couch, Yin Hou sitting cross-legged, holding his chin with one hand, and teasing a white cat squatting on the armrest.

This cat is a newborn kitten, the father and mother were raised by Concubine Pang, sent by Persia, pure white long hair, one eye is blue and the other eye is green, the legs are short and the body is short, the big tail is like a feather duster, the character is docile and sticky, especially cute. The kittens were just born a few months ago, and there were three of them in all, this one was the most daring, the other two were in the litter, and this one was already running around.

At this moment, I saw that Yin Hou was holding a few fish shreds with wine in his hands, and he was teasing it.

The kitten sat in front of him, its head rubbing against his palm, especially obediently.

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a long time - he had naturally heard of the name of Marquis Yin, and the name of the Demon Palace was even more thunderous. The so-called Demon Palace, simply put, is the place where the three hundred worst demons in the world, but with the highest martial arts, are gathered. And the head of the demons is the Marquis in front of him.

It's just that the appearance of Yin Hou teasing the kitten is not vicious at all, but it is a little similar to the lazy Zhanzhao on weekdays, is it worthy of the grandfather and grandson......

Zhao Zhen asked Yin Hou with a smile, "This kitten seems to be related to its predecessors, why don't you take it away?" ”

Yin Hou smiled, "That's a good dare, I'll take Kaifeng Mansion to raise it, Zhanzhao will definitely like it." ”

Zhao Zhen thinks it's funny, the fourth son must like it, right, he is really a grandfather, no matter how heroic Zhanzhao has become, in the eyes of his grandfather, he is still a child who wants to be coaxed with a kitten.

Zhao Zhen is a little envious, so it's better to say that it's still an ordinary family, relatives are harmonious, unlike the royal family, relatives have to kill each other.

"Your Majesty."

At this time, Pang Ji and Bao Zheng ran in outside, and glanced at Zhao Zhen - here!

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, it came earlier than expected, and suddenly attacked?

After thinking about it, Zhao Zhen walked up to Yin Hou and said, "Senior, I will meet guests in the courtyard next door." ”

Yin Hou nodded and signaled.

Although Zhao Zhen is the king of a country, in front of Yin Hou and Tianzun, he has never used "I" once, and he usually calls himself "I", which is very respectful.

Zhao Zhen then went to the other courtyard, and Pang Ji and Bao Zheng followed.

As soon as the two left, another person walked in and seemed stunned when he saw Yin Hou.

There are not many people who can come and go freely in the inner courtyard of the palace, and this is one of them - the eighth prince.

After the eighth prince saw Marquis Yin, the sadness on his face dissipated slightly, and he seemed to clean up his mood and came over to give Marquis Yin a shallow salute.

The corners of Yin Hou's mouth picked, and he said hello.

The white cat jumped off Yin Hou's knees, came to the side of the Eight Kings, and rubbed his ankles, looking very intimate.

The eighth king sat down on a stone stool opposite the Marquis of Yin, reached out to pick up the white cat, and rubbed his fur in a daze.

Next door, there was a voice from my father-in-law, "Gangneung Mu asks to see you." ”

Yin Hou yawned, and the Eight Kings listened curiously, and the sound of the next courtyard talking was particularly clear here.

After a while, I heard footsteps, and it was a person.

Marquis Yin raised his eyebrows at the eighth prince, which means - if you come alone, you don't have to worry.

The Eight Kings nodded.

Yin Hou squinted at him, always feeling like he was worried.

Over there, Zhao Zhen, Bao Zheng and Pang Ji were obviously "surprised" by Zhao Yuanzuo's sudden visit, Zhao Zhen said a few polite words to him, but he couldn't hide the "sadness" in his eyes.

"Why is Uncle Huang here?" Zhao Zhen asked curiously.

"Oh." Zhao Yuanzuo smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, the old minister came to meet an old friend, and then ...... Something may have happened to the Imperial City, so let's take a look. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, pretending to be puzzled, "What happened to the Imperial City?" ”

"Huh." Zhao Yuanzuo smiled faintly and waved his hand, "Your Majesty, forgive the old minister for his sudden crime, the old minister will come this time, which means that he is ten percent sure." ”

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly.

Pang Ji smiled and asked, "Old prince, are you confused?" In front of the emperor, you can't talk nonsense! ”

Zhao Yuanzuo thought for a while and asked with a smile, "Old lady, do you still remember Sun Wang?" ”

Pang Ji was stunned.

Bao Zheng frowned, "Lord Wang, why did you suddenly think of Sun Wang?" ”

"The one who asked me to come to Kaifeng for tea this time is Sun Wang." Zhao Yuanzuo shook his head when he saw the expressions of the three of them, "It's not a hundred thousand urgent, and Sun Wang won't come to me...... Your Majesty, Sun Wang estimated that there would be a catastrophe coming, because my Great Song Dynasty's national protector star was dimmed. ”

Everyone frowned.

Zhao Yuanzuo asked in a low voice, "But, something happened to the Ninth Prince?" ”

Pang Ji and Bao Zheng glanced at each other, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Zhen together.

These two old men have a lot of play, and they are calm and anxious.

And at this time...... Yin Hou next door suddenly stood up, ran to the wall, and glanced at the wall.

Then, Yin Hou smiled slightly, came back and sat down to drink tea.

The eighth prince didn't quite understand, so he went and asked in a whisper, "Old man, what are you looking at?" ”

"Oh...... Zhao boasted to me before that Zhao Zhen was such a good emperor, I want to see if this kid is not comparable to Zhao Pu. ”

The corners of the eighth prince's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand at Marquis Yin - this is the palace, it is really a ...... to say such a big rebellious thing

"And what about the result?" The Eight Kings were suddenly curious about Marquis Yin's opinion of Zhao Zhen.

"As a result...... Yin Houtuo thought about it and smiled, "Actually, Zhao Pu is really not suitable to be the emperor." ”

Seeing that Marquis Yin suddenly changed the topic, the eighth king looked at him with some puzzlement, "Why?" Although I Zelan doesn't want to be the emperor, he definitely has the qualifications to be a good emperor. ”

Marquis Yin smiled, "It's not that you can be an emperor if you are good or capable, it is useless to have good kung fu, good bearing, or even be handsome." ”

"So what works?" The Eight Kings asked.

Yin Hou sneered, "Since ancient times, emperors have been the same, if you want to sit firmly, you have to be ruthless. ”

The eighth king was slightly stunned and shook his head, "Did the old man say the wrong person, the emperor is famous for his kindness." ”

"That's because the Manchu Dynasty is shrewd enough to be civil, and no one hits the blade." Yin Hou flattened his mouth, "It's hard to keep those who don't have long eyes, and when they see the coffin, they will be used as a lunch box." ”

The eighth king was amused by the analogy of Marquis Yin, but he also wanted to see what Zhao Zhen's expression was at this time......

What is Zhao Zhen's expression at this time? No expression!

After Zhao Zhen listened to Zhao Yuanzuo's words, he began to stare at him, this expressionless is better than having an expression.

Bao Zheng and Pang Ji couldn't figure out what Zhao Zhen was thinking for a while.

Zhao Yuanzuo couldn't touch it anymore...... However, the so-called silence is better than sound, since Zhao Zhen gives you a blank, then of course smart people will fill in the things themselves.

Really smart people tend to think that their opponents are very smart, so they ...... Zhao Zhen's blank space became a calculation in Zhao Yuanzuo's eyes.

In fact, Zhao Zhen is indeed calculating, but what he is calculating is definitely not what Zhao Yuanzuo thinks.

Zhao Pu is Zhao Zhen's closest relative, a playmate from childhood to adulthood, and he is the Dinghai needle of the Great Song Dynasty in his hands. Since Zhao Yuanzuo pulled out Sun Wang, he said that he did have something to do with the case...... A Han person, who is still a descendant of the Zhao family, actually harmed Zhao Pu.

Zhao Zhen had no expression on his face, but he was smiling in his heart - old horseman, your death is not far away, I have to kill you!

……

The Eighth King suddenly asked Marquis Yin very seriously, "Do you really think that the emperor is not a soft-hearted person?" ”

Marquis Yin tilted his head and looked at the Eight Kings, "According to my understanding of the Zhao family, you and Zhao Pu should have picked them up." ”

The eighth prince was stunned, "You...... Meet other members of the Zhao family? ”

Yin Hou touched his nose and said lightly, "If it weren't for the peace of the world, I wouldn't have bothered to save the descendants of the Zhao family, and the old ghost wouldn't." ”

The Eight Kings stared at Yin Hou for a long time, "Could it be that the legend is true?" ”

Yin Hou stretched out a finger and touched his lips lightly, "There are not many people who know the Tao of this legend, and it is better for the prince to keep it a secret." ”

"Sure enough......" The Eighth Prince looked at Marquis Yin worriedly, "You and Tianzun, really don't plan to pursue that year again?" ”

"The damned people are all dead, and I'm left with that old ghost, what are you going to do?" Yin Hou didn't care, "He can see it, I can't see anything." But you'd better keep it a secret, I don't want to trouble the two little ones......"

The eighth prince nodded, and did not forget to remind, "Your Excellency, don't forget to promise today that you will not be held accountable." ”

Yin Hou raised the corners of his mouth and sneered, "Do you think my surname is also Zhao?" Will you make a recurring villain? ”

The eighth king was robbed of a sentence by Yin Hou, and his face was a little unbearable, but it was obvious that his face was much better.

……

In the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Pu made a large pile of sand on the table, put out a topographic map of Kaifeng Mansion, and inserted small chess pieces everywhere.

Xiao Sizi thought it was funny, standing on the stool and watching, while Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood with their hands behind their backs and looked down.

In front of them, Yueya and Chen Xing'er were sewing something with a few skillful maids, one holding a leather bag in his hand, as well as needles and threads.

Tianzun took a nap just now, felt hungry and ran out to take a look, and saw this scene.

"What is this for?" Tianzun walked to the stone bench and sat down, and Yueya'er quickly put down the work in her hand, ran to get a comb, and combed Tianzun's hair.

This is what Yue'er likes to do the most, Tianzun's hair is messy, she runs to comb it, and by the way, she sighs that the long silver-white hair is too sensitive! Tianzun watched the two girls Chen Xing'er and Crescent Moon grow up, and said that they were too young to be granddaughters, but the two girls were really well-behaved, and one was round and the other was thin, and it was very interesting to stand together.

Bai Yutang was very emotional every time he saw Tianzun combing his hair...... What really happened back then? Why did he have silver threads at such a young age?

"What are you going to do?" Tianzun was curious, tilted his head and asked Zhanzhao very naïve, not like an old Jianghu at all, but like a young man with a pure heart.

"Make clothes for Tong Dabao." Zhan Zhao replied with a smile, and his tone unconsciously brought out a little gentleness, as if he had always coaxed the little fourth son to speak.

Bai Yutang watched the conversation between the two, and Zhan Zhao poured a cup of tea for Yin Hou and handed it over, and asked him if he was hungry by the way...... It's so pleasing to the eye!

Tianzun watched the maids do manual work while drinking tea, and told Zhan Zhao that he wanted to eat fried buns, but before Zhan Zhao could speak, Bao Fu had already gone to buy them.

At this time, a few shadow guards outside came in, carrying a few large sheepskin bags, "Lord Wang, you want dog blood." ”

Zhao Pu grinned and smiled very badly.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang shook their heads, once Zhao Pu was locked up, he would think of ways to toss people, like a black owl, and he would bully other horses when he was locked up in the stable, and by the way, he would kick off a few wooden fences.

The little four looked around, "My father?" ”

"Mr. has gone to Longtu Pavilion!" A maid stretched out her hand and pointed to the Longtu Pavilion in the distance, "Just now I suddenly ran over as if I remembered something." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other and took the little fourth son to see it together.

Seeing that the door of the Longtu Pavilion was open, Gongsun was standing on the ladder, looking through a file, obviously this file was taken out of the upper bookshelf, and it seemed that there was still a lot of dust, Gongsun covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve while looking at it.

"Daddy!" The little fourth son ran in and looked up at him with a ladder.

Gongsun saw the three of them and beckoned to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

The two hurriedly walked in, and it seemed that he had made a discovery.

"What did you find?" Zhan Zhao asked his grandson with a raised face.

"When I was sorting out the dossier before, I remember seeing some of them." Gongsun handed over several volumes of the dossier to Zhanzhao and climbed down the ladder himself.

When he just stepped on the last gear, his foot slipped, and the little fourth son hurriedly pounced, but although Gongsun was thin, it was not something that the little fourth son could hold, so they both leaned back.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are quick to ...... It's inconvenient to stretch out your hand, so you have to have one person and one foot, one hooks the back of the little fourth son, and the other hooks the back of the grandson, and the cooperation is tacit.

Zhao Pu ran into the Longtu Pavilion and saw such a strange scene, "What kind of kung fu are you practicing?" ”

Gongsun stood up straight with the ladder and reached out to help the fourth son, while saying, "There are some strange things recorded in this file, which may be related to our case. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang opened the file together and looked at it carefully......

I saw that this was a case file sent from the Qiangui area, recording a strange case.

It is said that a villager in a mountain village planted a kind of safflower, and the nectar of safflower is highly poisonous and can confuse people's hearts. Local villagers live deep in the mountains and forests, and often use these poisonous flowers to poison the residents of nearby towns. Most people who are poisoned will be controlled by others and lose consciousness......

The villagers of this mountain village have used this poison for hundreds of years, a total of three or four generations, and then almost the entire county is under their control. Finally, there was a wandering Lang Zhong who found a problem in this place, and went to the Yamen at the next level to report to the official, and the arrest sent by the official to investigate had gone and had not returned, so the imperial court sent troops to clean it up.

This was about forty years ago, and the villagers' tradition of using poisonous flowers probably dates back to the previous dynasty.

Later, those villagers used the controlled people to fight with the imperial court, and they did not fall behind.

The general who led the troops told the general that the people were poisoned and needed to be detoxified. Na Langzhong pretended to be a controlled citizen, entered the mysterious mountain village, picked a red flower, and returned home to find that the poisonous flower was very poisonous. Strangely, the people in the city were poisoned, but the local villagers themselves were fine. Lang Zhong went into the mountain village for a few days to observe, and found that the locals used the peach blossoms that grew near the safflower to make tea all year round, and cooked rice with peach wood to avoid poisoning. Lang Zhong studied it carefully and found that it turned out that these safflowers had to be planted together with peach blossoms, and they were all supplied by peach blossoms.

Lang Zhong brought some flowers and trees back to the barracks, and at this time, a strange thing happened, that is, those people suddenly did not resist, and there was a great tendency to let the officers and soldiers into the city.

The general originally wanted to lead his troops into the city, but was stopped by Lang Zhong...... I always feel that something is wrong.

Later, Lang Zhong remembered that when he was spying, he found that the villagers seemed to have hoarded a lot of wine, and large wine vats were lined up around the peach forest. Thinking of this, he tried the wine, and the wine was poured on the peach blossoms, and on the peach trees, there were large safflowers, and the fragrance was incomparable. There was a dizzy drunken feeling in all around them.

Lang Zhong was shocked, it turned out that the villagers were going to use this poisonous trick to splash the peach trees with wine, so that the safflower bloomed in large areas, so that all the officers and soldiers who were introduced into Cheng smelled the poisonous pollen and were poisoned. Once these soldiers are poisoned, they will be brought under control, and the villagers will be able to have more powerful centaurs...... Once this continues, the whole country may be subverted by them with these few small red flowers.

Na Langzhong later thought of a bad move and asked the soldiers and horses to attack the mountain village from afar with rockets...... Rockets carrying fire oil ignited the entire peach blossom forest, the red flowers burned away, the smoke from the burning peach trees became an antidote, and the people of the city woke up.

……

Read the dossier thoroughly.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Gongsun together, "Could it be that these saffrons are the true origin of the intoxicating flowers?" ”

Gongsun smiled, "Looking at the symptoms of poisoning of those soldiers, it is like being drunk, and after being poisoned, their minds are controlled." ”

While speaking, Bai Fu ran in and handed Gongsun a booklet, "Sir, the ancient medical book you wanted." ”

Bai Yutang looked at Bai Fu with some wonder - what ancient medical book?

Bai Fu blinked, "Young Master, didn't you ask me to find it?" ”

Bai Yutang was even more puzzled.

Gongsun smiled embarrassedly, "One hundred thousand is urgent, Bai Fu can do more than the officials of Kaifeng Mansion." ”

"Really?" Zhan Zhao squinted at Gongsun, what does that mean - Gongsun, why do you turn your elbow out?

Gongsun was sullen and happy, and whispered to Zhan Zhao's eyes - people are rich!

Zhan Zhao understood and nodded immediately - no need to be in vain! Not an outsider!

"Momoki Langzhong?" Zhao Pu looked at the title of the book and was funny, "What peach wood Langzhong?" ”

"This Lang Zhong is a crooked doctor, but it is very legendary, I deduced from the clues recorded on this dragon pattern scroll, it seems that Lang Zhong of the wandering party is him, so I asked Bai Fu to go to the ancient scroll Zhai and bought this book.

Bai Yutang understood and nodded to Bai Fu, which means - well done!

Bai Fule walked away.

Gongsun quickly flipped through the book, and finally smiled slightly and showed it to everyone, "Look! ”

Everyone leaned over to take a look, only to see that this red flower case was really recorded inside, which was different from the dragon picture scroll, and a few words from Tao Mu Lang were added to this medical book. Roughly speaking: there is no end to medicine, and there is no end to poison, this adventure made him change his name to Peachwood, in order to remember this time, and continue to practice medicine to save people, so as not to turn medical skills into evil arts that will bring disaster to the country and the people. At the end of the day, Tao Mu Lang named this weird little red flower - Soul Intoxicating Flower!
