The central city of the Jin Kingdom, Puyi

After Ledu left, Xue Xian and a few people set off from Shiyi, bought a carriage, and went straight to Puyi City.

Puyi is located in the middle of the Jin Kingdom, between three large cities, and is a rich place. Unlike the border towns that were in ruins after the war, the people here live happily and the atmosphere is thriving. The streets are lined with shops, pedestrians, hawkers shouting and shouting business, and carts and horses full of goods come and go.

On the street, Xue Xian and his party were buying. Zizhang was young and loved to be lively, and pulled Zigu to walk far ahead. Ziji and Uncle Xue Xian were left behind, picking up some useful ones in the stall while talking about things.

"Uncle Shi, it's been a few days since we arrived in Puyi, why can't we hear any news of Dr. Yin Yi everywhere, shouldn't we have arrived yet?" Ziji asked.

Xue Xian shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be." I got a letter a while ago, and according to the route they took on the letter, Dr. Yin and they should have arrived at this time. I don't know if anything happened on the way. ”

Ziji frowned and said, "If you don't come for a long time, it always makes people feel uneasy, uncle, why don't I send some people out to see if I can connect with Dr. Yin." If something happens over there, we can adapt to it. ”

Xue Xian nodded and said: "Yes, but the people sent over must choose people who are cautious and changeable, and Doctor Yin must have a lot of eyes staring at him, don't let people see the flaws." ”

Ziji bowed his head and said, "I understand." He looked at Zizhang's excited back not far ahead, shook his head, and said, "Doctor Yin has worked hard to plan only for him, but he has an easy time." ”

"This is also Dr. Yin's hard work." Xue Xian sighed.

"Look at his happy appearance, it makes people angry when they see the light." Ziji said, ran a few steps forward, grabbed Zizhang's back collar, and struck Zizhang's head hard with his knuckles.

Zizhang hugged his head and complained loudly: "Senior Brother Ziji, why are you beating me for no reason." ”

Ziji knocked him again and said, "Who said that for no reason, you bought so many useless things, spent money indiscriminately, and hit you twice is light." ”

"The money is not from me, it is from Senior Brother Zigu, why don't you beat him, just beat me?" Zizhang retorted loudly.

When Ziji heard that he was going to knock him again, at this time, Zigu stretched out his hand to block it.

Zigu smiled at Ziji and didn't speak, but the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

Ziji was helpless, let go of the hand that grabbed Zizhang's back collar, shook his head at Zigu and said, "You are just too good to him." ”

Zigu smiled: "Where the duty lies, I have no choice, I have been used to protecting him since I was a child." ”

"This kid drills behind you in everything, you are used to him, stand in front of him in everything, you spoil him like this, I think sooner or later-" Ziji stopped halfway through speaking, patted his waist with his angry hand, and spat at the sky again, and said: "Don't talk about you before, just say that you are his senior brother now, you can discipline him properly." ”

Zigu just smiled, he touched Zizhang's sore head, and said softly: "It's still young, and I have suffered a lot." Now is a rare good time, it doesn't hurt to let him indulge a little, but it can't be like this when he returns home. He can't do that, and I can't do it anymore. ”

When Ziji heard this, he was speechless for a while.

Zizhang listened to Zigu's words, bit his lip, rolled his eyes, and went to look at Zigu. Zigu also looked at him and said to him with a smile: "It's okay, your senior brother won't beat you." ”

Zizhang went to pull Zigu's sleeve, lowered his head, and said, "Is it that after returning to China, you can no longer be my senior brother Zigu?" ”

Zigu was stunned, then bent down, looked at Zizhang, and said seriously: "Senior brother is just a title, don't be too entangled, you just need to know that I am still me, my heart or that heart." ”

At this moment, there was a commotion in the street, and a group of people and horses came at a rapid speed from a distance. Fast horses gallop, pedestrians have avoided it, but there are always people who can't dodge. Seeing that he was about to collide with someone, the man who rode the horse had to urgently rein in his horse, which should be a military horse, and behaved very obediently.

Immediately sitting was a middle-aged man, with a burly figure, his face was anxious, and he loudly drove away the pedestrians: "Hurry up, give way quickly, people's lives are urgent." ”

Pedestrians saw that he was talking fiercely, and they didn't dare to provoke, so they gave way to the side as he said.

The person on the horse inadvertently saw a white-haired man in the crowd of pedestrians, only to feel a little weird, a little indescribable, a little familiar and very unfamiliar at the same time. But at this time, he was so anxious that he couldn't take care of it, and as soon as the pedestrians got out of the way, he quickly slapped his horse away.

When the group of horsemen had gone away, order soon returned to the streets. The people pointed to the distance and began to talk nonsense.

Xue Xian was a little concerned about the gaze of the person who was right on the horse, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Uncle Shi, what's the matter? Is there something wrong? Ziji turned around, noticed Uncle Shi's expression, and quickly returned to Uncle Shi's side and asked.

Xue Xian still frowned, and said, "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that someone may recognize me." ”

"Uncle Shi, do you know that person?" Ziji asked.

Xue Xian shook his head and said, "I don't recognize it." In the past, I have walked in the royal capital of the Jin Kingdom, and I have been involved in a lot of storms, and maybe someone will recognize me. However, that was almost ten years ago, and most of the people of that year have been asleep for a long time, and there is nothing to do with it anymore. ”

As soon as the horse team ran less than 100 meters out of the long street, the leader suddenly reined in his horse and suddenly said, "I remember." As soon as he stopped his horse, his subordinates behind him hurriedly followed him and stopped their horses, and asked, "My lord, why did you suddenly stop your horse?" ”

The leader was named Zhu Min, a military minister of the Fan clan. He did not answer, but immediately turned the horse's head and shouted: "All obey the order, turn the horse's head, and return to the long street." This group of men and horses were all from military ministers, and when they heard that they didn't say much, they immediately moved according to the order and ran in the direction of the street again.

Zhu Min explained to his subordinates while beating the horse: "I remember, the white-haired person just now is clearly the little Shennong Xue Xian, although I don't know why he has white hair, but I will never forget that face and those eyes." ”

His subordinates had obviously heard of Xiao Shennong's name, and they were shocked when they heard it: "Little Shennong Xue Xian? I haven't heard from him in over ten years, my lord, are you sure it's him? ”

Zhu Min said: "It must be him, although his appearance has changed slightly, but his expression and temperament have not changed." ”

"If you can invite back Xiao Shennong, the Chinese army will be happy." Subordinate Dao.

Zhu Min's horse team had returned to the street at this time, his eyes began to quickly look for Xue Xian's figure on the street, he looked at it and said to the people around him: "It's not if, but it must, you must go back, no matter how it works, you must bring it back." "If you let the Chinese army know that they met the little Shennong Xue Xian and failed to bring it back, they will definitely have to die to apologize.

At this time, Xue Xian and a few people were hiding in a lane on Long Street. Hearing that the riot on the street had started again, Ziji leaned out slightly to take a look, and said, "Uncle Shi, the team of people just now has turned back again." It looks like they're looking for someone."

Xue Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he vaguely guessed in his heart that the purpose of their turning back was probably himself.

Ziji also guessed, frowned and said, "Uncle Shi, what should I do?" Shall we leave first? ”

Xue Xian thought about it, shook his head decisively, and said, "The other party must have recognized me when he came back, if we run, they will definitely ask around and search." We have also lived in Puyi for several days, and we can't stand their inquiries, and if it causes a commotion, I'm afraid it won't be good. Why don't I show up and see what they're going to do, and then wait and see. I don't have any enemies, the biggest possibility that they are looking for me is coming for the name of my little Shennong, there should be important people waiting for famous doctors to diagnose the disease. ”

Ziji bowed his head and said: "What Uncle Shi said is reasonable, Zigu and I will take Zizhang away first, avoid it first, Uncle Shi, you should be careful." ”

"Well, I'll try to leave you a message no matter what. Don't trespass. After Xue Xian finished speaking, he walked out of the alleyway, entered a nearby restaurant, and sat in a conspicuous place by the window, just waiting for the group of people to come to him. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhu Min to enter the shop with a group of people.

As soon as Zhu Min entered the shop, he quickly strode towards the desk where Xue Xian was sitting, and said loudly with a happy face: "Mr. Xue, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really an unexpected joy." ”

Xue Xian only sat still, only glanced at Zhu Min lightly, and said, "You and I don't know each other, I'm afraid I recognize the wrong person." ”

Zhu Min stood aside, gave Xue Xian a salute, and said, "In Xia Zhu Min, the retainers of the Chinese army Fan Dafu." You may not know you, but you know you. Ten years ago, Zai Xia was not a retainer of the Fan family, but just an inconspicuous patrol guard in the royal city, and I was fortunate to have seen you many times with my master. Although all these years have passed, you really remember your appearance clearly, and you will never admit mistakes. ”

Xue Xian didn't answer, only smiled and said, "Really?" ”

Zhu Min also smiled slightly, and said straight to the point: "Sir, I know that you have been in the world for many years, and I will not bother you easily at other times, but now there is a noble person in the royal capital who is seriously ill, and you need to be rescued by Xiao Shennong." You also know that the noble man is Lord Fan Jiyou, and I remember clearly that you have also had a good time drinking with Lord Fan Jiyou, sir. In the next time, I have been ordered by Lord Zhongjun to sincerely ask you to visit Wang Du and diagnose Lord Fan Jiyou. Zhu Min finished speaking, and glanced at his subordinates behind him, and someone immediately presented a box.

Zhu Min took it personally, placed it in front of Xue Xian's eyes, and opened it in front of him. The box contains five pearls, pearlescent and lush, and it is worth a lot at a glance.

Zhu Min said: "This is a pearl produced in the East China Sea, and it is a rare good thing. I know that Sir is well-informed, and you must know the preciousness of this bead. The eldest of my family is worried about the illness of Lord Fan Jiyou and cannot sleep all night, so I do not hesitate to treasure it, and sincerely ask you, please Mr. Yes. If you can cure the adult's illness, you will have another heart. ”
