Xue Xian looked at the group of people in front of him, and although he said that he was pleased, every sentence did not leave room for refusal. At his table, a group of people fanned him around, and the door of the restaurant was already guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. This posture, I'm afraid, doesn't intend for him to refuse.

Xue Xian pondered for a moment, and said tentatively: "I came to Puyi this time to do some urgent affairs in the door, I'm afraid it will not be delayed." ”

Zhu Min said: "That adult's life is in danger now, please consider it carefully, but we can't afford to delay the time, so we can only give Mr. half a stick of incense, if you still don't agree after half a stick of incense, we can only offend." ”

Xue Xian narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhu Min coldly, and said, "Why, if I don't go, you still can't plan to do it." ”

Zhu Min arched his hand, clenched his fists and said, "Exactly." I always know that Mr. is extraordinary, if Mr. really runs away desperately, we may not be in a rut. However, after all, this is the Jin Kingdom, and Puyi is the territory of the Fan family, so I advise you not to think about it. Moreover, as long as it is within the borders of the Jin Kingdom, there is no place where Fan's hand cannot reach. ”

Xue Xian sneered: "Are you threatening me?" ”

Zhu Min smiled: "It's not a threat, Zhu just told the truth." ”

"It's the truth." Xue Xian laughed, he looked at the box on the desk for a while, and then reached out to cover his box. "That being the case, I accepted the fee. However, before I go, I have to leave a message for the doorman. ”

Seeing that Xue Xian agreed, Zhu Min couldn't hide a smile on his face, and hurriedly said, "When so, when so." If you have any information, sir, you can write it down immediately, and I will send someone to deliver the letter myself, so that you will not be worried. ”

"Mr. Bu Jian passed on the message, and there are many pigeons in my door to pass on the faith, and they obey the sentinel to act." As he spoke, Xue Xian took out a long whistle from his sleeve and blew it out of the window, and soon, a gray pigeon with a bamboo tube tied to his foot landed in front of Xue Xian.

Xue Xian touched the feathers of the pigeon and said to Zhu Min: "It involves the internal affairs of the door, and it is inconvenient to make it public, and I ask the adults to avoid one or two." ”

Zhu Min hesitated a little when he heard this.

Xue Xian pointed to the window with a smile and said to Zhu Min: "There are people under the window." He pointed to the door again and said, "There are people at the door, too." What else is there to worry about, besides, I, Xue, am not the kind of person who breaks my word, since I said that I am willing to go to the doctor, I will definitely go. ”

Zhu Min pondered for a moment, led the people out of the restaurant, and stood guard at the door.

Xue Xian knew that he couldn't hide from going to Wang Du, so he quickly wrote a silk letter, stuffed it into the empty bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet, and then released it at the window, and watched the pigeon fly away before leaving the restaurant.

Zhu Min saw Xue Xian walk out and said with a smile: "So fast." ”

Xue Xian replied with an indifferent smile: "It's just some simple affairs handover." ”

Zhu Min said: "Since Mr. has already made arrangements, then hurry up and go down to the royal capital, that adult is seriously ill and can't be delayed." ”

Xue Xian bowed his head and followed Zhu Min on the horse. When Zhu Min's horse team reached the end of the long street, a long whistle was faintly heard from the other end of the street. Xue Xian knew that Ziji had received his letter.

On Ziji's side, the three of them sat in a soup shop on another street, looking at each other.

"Uncle Shi was really taken to Xinjiang? Isn't it dangerous? Senior brother, should we go and save my uncle? What else did Uncle Shi say in the letter? Zizhang was shocked by the news that had just come back, and anxiously asked a series of questions.

Zigu comforted him and said, "Zizhang, don't worry, sit down first, and listen to the senior brother finish speaking." He pressed Zizhang to the table and sat down honestly, looked at Ziji and said, "Senior brother, what else did Uncle Shi say in the letter?" ”

Ziji had already finished reading the letter, he handed the letter to Zigu, and said, "Uncle Shi doesn't have to worry about it, he will definitely be able to handle it properly, let's think more about our side." ”

Zigu took the letter, took it and looked at it with Zizhang. After reading the letter, Zigu frowned, and said to Ziji: "Uncle Shi means to let us wait for Dr. Yin in Pucheng alone. If there is no news from Dr. Yin within five days, go to Xinjiang first. ”

Ziji nodded and said, "That's right." Uncle Fang Cai and I talked about Dr. Yin, and according to the news that Uncle received earlier, if everything is normal, Dr. Yin's time must have come. ”

Zigu nodded and said: "I'm afraid of being here, Doctor Yin hasn't arrived for a long time these days, and I'm really uneasy, I'm afraid that there will be some movement on Wu Guo's side that will stumble him." ”

Ziji said: "I discussed with my uncle, and I will send a few smart and alert people from my side to contact Dr. Yin Yi in advance, and come back with some news in advance, so that we can make a judgment as soon as possible." Zizhang's secret guards were all from the Chu State and were not familiar with the Jin State. Jin is my home country, and there are many informants, so it is more convenient to act. ”

Zigu nodded, looked at Ziji and said, "We don't say polite words to our senior brother, it's all up to my senior brother to bother to inquire, if there is really something going on with Dr. Yin, I'm afraid we have another long way to go." ”

Jindu Xinjiang, Fan Di

The courtyard name of Fan Jiyou, the second son of Fan Yingyan, is called Qinghui Garden. Qinghui Courtyard is located in the southeast of Fan's mansion, the courtyard is wide, and there is a whole pine forest behind the courtyard. Pine is a long-lived tree that is full of life at any time of the year. Trees can be evergreen, but people can't, they can only pray for evergreen.

Mingyun went to Qinghui Garden with his mother to visit the sick. As soon as she and her mother arrived at the gate of Qinghui Garden, they saw that her second aunt was already waiting for them at the door. The second uncle's name is Zhou Han, who was born in a famous family in the Qin State. She is in her Chinese New Year's Eve, wearing a brown rhombic curl robe, a dark sandalwood thick-woven wide-sleeved robe, and a black mink fur collar. Her appearance is not very beautiful, but delicate, with a long face, a low nose bridge, and thin curved eyebrows, but now her eyebrows and eyes are engraved with thick sorrow and anxiety, and the color that was once seven points is now only three points.

"I've seen my second aunt, and my second aunt is fine." Mingyun gave Zhou's salute in a proper manner. After saluting, Mingyun asked with concern, "Second uncle, how is the second uncle?" How are you feeling today? ”

Zhou sighed and touched the side of Mingyun's hair, and only said: "Ah Yun is a caring and good boy, wait a while for you to say a few more words to your second uncle, he has always doted on you, what you say, he loves to listen." ”

Several people walked to the courtyard together, and Fan Miaoshu and Zhou walked side by side in front. Fan Miaoshu looked at Zhou's expression and asked in a deep voice, "Second sister-in-law, how is the second brother?" ”

Zhou held a honey-colored silk handkerchief tightly in his hand, and couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he heard this, and said: "Ashu, you also know your second brother's body, since the fight three years ago, his health is getting worse and worse, once it is winter every year, it is a cough day and night, and it is useless to hire any doctors." These days, how many famous doctors has my father invited for your second brother, even the king's royal medical officer has also come to diagnose you, and you have drunk the medicine bowl by bowl, but it is not good. I'm really in a hurry, what to do, I really don't know what to do. Zhou began to cry as he spoke, wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

The snow in the yard has been swept away, and the remaining snow is piled up on both sides of the bluestone road. Mingyun followed behind her mother and second aunt, and she could hear her second aunt's words clearly. She looked from behind, only to see the cold winter wind blowing the mink fur on Zhou's collar, and the wind blowing in the wide sleeves, making her look more and more thin and thin.

Under the porch of the main house, through the thick wall, you can hear the hoarse coughing sound inside. When Mingyun heard this, he felt very uncomfortable. Before Zhou entered the door, he carefully wiped the tears on his face with a handkerchief, slowed down for a while at the door, and said softly to Fan Miaoshu: "Your second brother doesn't want to keep watching me cry, but I can't help it, don't tell your second brother later." ”

Fan Miaoshu gently patted Zhou's hand, signaling her to rest assured. Zhou nodded, squeezed out a little smile on his face, personally pushed open the door, and invited Fan Miaoshu and Mingyun into the house.

The room was filled with a strong smell of bitter medicinal juice, and the smell of medicine became stronger when you entered the inner room. There was a thick curtain in the bedroom, and as soon as the curtain was opened, a wave of heat came to the face, apparently burning a prosperous earth dragon inside. On the carved lacquered wood bed, a thick woven tent of garcinia yellow was placed, which covered half of the body of the person inside, but from the exposed arm, it could be seen that the person inside was as thin as wood.

The maidservants who were waiting in several rooms prostrated when they heard the sound. The bed curtain was pulled open, revealing Fan Jiyou's withered face, he was very thin, even his eye sockets were sunken, his face was pale and ugly, there was a thick quilt behind him, he leaned on it weakly, and when he saw someone coming, he coughed and tried to struggle to sit up.

"You just lie down, don't move." In front of Shi Jiyou, Zhou's tone also became impatient and excited.

"Second brother." Fan Miaoshu frowned tightly, sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Shi Jiyou's hand and called out, and then she was surprised to find that his hand was so cold, but she didn't say it.

"Second uncle." Mingyun came to the bed, half-knelt on the edge of the bed and shouted softly. The second uncle was very good to her and doted on her, and every year when she came to the royal capital with her mother, the second uncle would give her many gifts.

Shi Jiyou smiled at Mingyun and wanted to speak, but he didn't say it, but coughed. Mingyun hurriedly patted his second uncle on the back, and after a while, Fan Jiyou eased up. Fan Jiyou looked at Mingyun and motioned for Mingyun to come closer.

Mingyun knew what his uncle meant, so he leaned his head over.

Fan Jiyou stretched out his hand and gently touched the top of Mingyun's head with his hand, although he said in a very hoarse voice: "Uncle is fine, Ah Yun don't worry." ”
