Chapter 25: Departure
The morning sun is like a fresh egg yolk, sprinkled warmly on the earth, and the birds chirp, which is a good weather suitable for a long journey.
Liu Yingyi, Ning Yuan and Shui Qingxiang sat in the same carriage, Liu Yingyi was quiet, her eyes were closed, and the old god was sitting quietly in the car.
Ning Yuanze, this senior brother, didn't understand why Senior Brother Liu was taking so many people when he said that he was a good master, and there was still a woman.
He likes to eat when he is in a bad mood, fortunately he bought a roast chicken and a pot of wine in Fuguilou before leaving, originally wanted to have a drink with his junior brother in the carriage, but when he saw Shui Qingxiang sitting in the carriage, he began to eat it alone.
The chicken was fat and fragrant, and it didn't take long for the carriage to fill the carriage with the smell of roast chicken.
Liu Yingyi seemed to be patient for a long time, frowning and blaming Ning Wuze: "If you want to eat, go out to eat, don't dirty my carriage." β
"Cut, it's not that you are clamoring to take the carriage, uncle, I can ride a horse to the master's house in only half a day, and you still blame me for soiling your carriage, I still want to sit!" Ning Wu was angry in his heart, and deliberately wiped his oily hands into the car.
Liu Yingyi picked up the chess piece next to him and smashed Ning Wuze's hand to do bad things impartially.
"Wow, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you dare to beat your senior brother." The furious Ning Wu threw the chicken bones in Liu Yingyi's face without backing down.
Liu Yingyi's body was dexterous, but he happened to dodge, picked up a few more chess pieces, and continued to smash at Ning Wuze's body.
The two big men moved their hands in the small carriage like children, and they were stunned by Shui Qingxiang.
Hey, Lord Prefectural, can you and your senior brother not be so naΓ―ve?
"Eh, big ...... My lord, Boss Ning, you two ...... Can you stop fighting in the carriage? Shui Qingxiang suddenly understood why Liu Xian Ling went to see the master with his senior brother, and he had to take himself with him, he and his senior brother were really incompatible.
However, what is even worse than Shui Qingxiang is Qin Zhukuai, who was driving the carriage in front, was made "egg pain" by Shui Qingxiang yesterday, and thought that Liu Xian Ling called himself on a business trip today to have something good, and he used himself as a coachman for a long time.
Alas, as soon as he thought of these things, Qin Zhutou felt faintly sad.
"Hmph, I knew that I would come to see the master alone, and I asked you to read the letter, anyway, you don't care about the master!" Ning Wuze said as he gnawed on the roast chicken fiercely regardless of his image, his chubby chin and black beard were full of oil, as if this was the only way to vent the anger in his heart.
"How can I not care about the master?"
Liu Yingyi didn't throw chess pieces at Ning Wuze's body again, because the narrow car was already full of chess pieces, and if he fought in the carriage again, he was afraid that the entire carriage would be destroyed, so he could only hold his temper.
"Hmph, do you care about the master? Over the years, you've been to see the master a few times. Since you went to this small county town to be this broken county order, you haven't been to see the master and his old man for at least five years, right? Ning Wu spoke righteously and justifiably, and even his beard was cocked.
Liu Yingyi's face sank when he said: "That's because I've been busy with official business all these years, and I have given my master generous gifts during the New Year's holidays, and his old man also told me to focus on official business." β
"The old man is saying kind words, can't you hear it? He has favored you since he was a child, but your apprentice rarely comes to see him, if it weren't for that letter, I'm afraid you don't have time now, right? β
Ning Wuze's words seemed to poke Liu Yingyi's heart, so that he couldn't find the words to refute for the time being.
Ning Wuze saw that Liu Yingyi suddenly stopped talking, but was less interested in quarrelling, glared at Liu Yingyi, and then snorted softly: "This carriage is too crowded inside, Lao Tzu went to eat outside the carriage." β
After speaking, he jumped out of the carriage with the half of the roast chicken and sat in front.
Suddenly, there were only two people left in the carriage, Liu Yingyi and Shui Qingxiang, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Shui Qingxiang watched Liu Yingyi's handsome face turn pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she immediately felt that something was wrong with him.
"Lord Liu, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Yingyi's lips turned white, and she said to Shui Qingxiang with a faint breath: "There is a dark compartment below, you look for it, the medicine ......"
Then, Yoo Young-yi's face closed, and he didn't seem to have the strength to speak anymore.
Shui Qingxiang immediately nervously searched for it in the carriage, her hand was looking for it inch by inch under the cushion, and sure enough, she touched a small dark compartment from below, she opened the dark compartment, and there was a small white porcelain bottle inside, and inside the bottle were small black pills.
Shui Qingxiang first poured out two small pills and put them into Liu Yingyi's mouth.
Liu Yingyi, whose face was as pale as a porcelain statue just now, was slightly relieved after taking the medicine.
Before, Shui Qingxiang saw Liu Yingyi shoot at Ning Wuze, and every chess piece was thrown at Ning Wuze's acupuncture points very accurately, which proves that Liu Yingyi is proficient in medical acupuncture points, and secondly, it proves that Liu Yingyi also knows some martial arts, at least not a layman.
However, I usually look at Liu Yingyi who is not very strong, but I didn't expect him to be in such bad health.
When Liu Yingyi recovered a little, Shui Qingxiang couldn't help but ask, "Lord Liu, what ......is your body?"
"Lao Mao is sick, I have been since I was born, and I have to take medicine every few days. Just now, I may have quarreled with my senior brother to make the symptoms attack early, so I just took medicine and rested for a while. β
"My lord, I don't know if I should ask a question?" Shui Qingxiang looked like she wanted to speak and stopped.
"Just ask."
"I don't know what kind of character my master's master is? Listening to the words of adults and your senior brother, it seems that there is something wrong with it? β
Liu Yingyi's eyes seemed to be flashing with a faint light, looking ahead from a distance, as if recalling the past years: "I can't talk about festivals, it's just that Ning Wuze and I have been orphans since we were children, and we were fortunate to be adopted by our master, so I have a good relationship with my master and Ning Wuze." 'A teacher for one day, a father for life', Ning Wu and I treat our master as a father. β
"It's just that I've been weak since I was a child and I'm not good at martial arts, so my master taught me to read. And Ning Wu has been strong since he was a child, and he is active, so his master taught him martial arts. The old man originally hoped that the two of us would be able to show our strengths, and hoped that we would both be able to enter the court as officials. β
"Back then, Ning Wuze was admitted to the martial arts examination, and he could have gone to the capital to serve as a martial artist, but he resigned for some reasons. I also had the opportunity to serve in the imperial court, but I finally chose to be a small county magistrate in this remote place. β
"Calculated carefully, we have all deviated from the master's wishes, I can say it, but Ning Wu has more awe of the master, and it has always been a pity for him to not be able to fulfill the master's wishes, so he often visits the master."
Shui Qingxiang then understood, it turned out that Lord Liu had such a past, and that Ning Wuze, he couldn't tell that he was still a martial artist, it seemed that if he accidentally fought with him in the future, he must be careful.
