The carriage of the two of them stopped in front of a courtyard, Zhang Shixing jumped out of the carriage, only to see the three words on the plaque on the door of the courtyard: "Imperial Pharmacy", Zhang Shixing was a little puzzled, standing in front of the door and refused to go in, Wang Desheng pulled him into the door, walked to the West House, and shouted inside: "Master Liu." ”

A rough voice answered inside, and a fat man walked out of the door, his eyes were like copper bells, his face was full of meat, and he shook a fan in his hand, revealing his belly, and sweat was flowing on it. When Master Liu saw Wang Desheng, he smiled and bowed: "The prince is here, but he wants to enjoy the meal?" ”

Wang Desheng pointed at Zhang Shixing, and said with a smile: "Master Liu, this kid's name is Battle, he is a little Tartar, he was captured in the south, you clean this kid's body, do a better job, I will come to give money and get people in ten days, and he will enter the palace to serve the princess in the future." ”

Master Liu smiled and said, "That's natural, please rest assured." But I'm in a bit of a hurry. ”

Wang Desheng said: "It's okay, it's the same with me, I see that this kid is honest and ready to accept him as an apprentice." ”

Master Liu sighed: "I can worship Premier Wang as a teacher, this kid is really an ancestor who has accumulated virtue." ”

Wang Desheng pushed Zhang Shixing to Master Liu's side and said, "Master Liu, this kid is handed over to you." With that, he turned and walked out of the courtyard, and got into the carriage again, and the sound of hooves was heard, but gradually he was silent.

Master Liu pulled Zhang Shixing into the house, and Zhang Shixing only felt that the house was airtight and stuffy. Master Liu pointed to a paulownia oil wooden bed in the middle of the room, signaling him to lie down, Zhang Shixing didn't know why, obediently lay down, Master Liu took out a few hemp ropes, first tied his left hand to the head of the bed, and then began to tie his right hand, Zhang Shixing said: "Master Liu, isn't it clean, why tie me?" ”

Master Liu smiled: "Yes, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the pain for a while." ”

Zhang Shixing's eyes widened and asked, "Will it hurt so much that you can't stand it?" ”

Master Liu laughed when he heard this: "You'll know later, I can't stand it." While speaking, Master Liu had already tied his right hand, and then came to tie his right foot, Zhang Shixing felt that something was wrong, shrank his feet, and said: "Master Liu, I just cleaned myself up, and I won't bother you." Quickly release me. ”

Master Liu looked him up and down and said: "Little Tartar, don't die, clean yourself, I have everything here, there is an emergency, it is easy to treat, how can you do it alone?" ”

Zhang Shixing was puzzled: "Why not, you bring a bucket of hot water, take a sweat towel, I will clean myself, and I won't bother the master." ”

Master Liu said disdainfully: "To put it lightly, as simple as you, isn't the ancestral craftsmanship of my knife Liu three generations in vain?" After speaking, he grabbed Zhang Shixing's right leg and tied it again.

Zhang Shixing saw that he was coming, and he kicked his right foot hard, hitting Master Liu in the chest, and Master Liu was hit by this heavy blow, screamed, and fell to the ground on his back. Zhang Shixing Dantian luck, both hands lucky, shouted, pulled off the bedside railing, freed his hands from the hemp rope, jumped out of bed, kicked open the door, and ran out of the courtyard. That Master Liu was shocked, hurriedly got up from the ground, called for someone to come, a group of imperial doctors from the imperial pharmacy ran out of the house, and asked Master Liu what happened, Master Liu's face turned pale and said: "I gave a little tartar to clean up, who knew that he repented halfway and escaped, you hurry up and help me catch up, this is in the imperial city, shocked the holy car, it is a matter of losing your head." A group of imperial doctors and pharmacists were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly rushed out of the courtyard with Master Liu, saw Zhang Shixing's back, and chased after him closely.

Zhang Shixing ran out of the yard, panicked, of course, did not argue the direction, fled east and west, somehow came to the noon gate outside, only to see that the noon gate is about a few zhang high, the red wall is golden tile, three are embraced, the five peaks protrude, see that the front is the heavy eaves of the palace, the momentum is majestic, there are corridors on both sides, like the wings of the goose are lined up, the four ends of the pavilion are sharp, as if the phoenix spreads its wings, this is the main gate of the Forbidden City - the noon gate, which is commonly known as the five phoenix towers.

The noon gate is the main gate of the palace city, of course, it is heavily guarded, guarded by the left and right guards of Yulin, Jinyi guards, etc., Zhang Shixing ran to the bottom of the noon gate, and all the sergeants rushed up, punched and kicked, pressed him to the ground, and tied a knot.

At this time, the people from the imperial pharmacy also rushed to the scene, and Master Liu saw that the sergeant had tied up Zhang Shixing, and he was happy and scared, happy that Zhang Shixing did not cause a bigger disaster, and worried that he would not be able to deal with Wang Desheng.

At this time, a tall, red-faced and round-eyed brocade-clothed guard Qianhu pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, stepped forward and shouted: "Master Liu, what's going on, breaking into the imperial city in broad daylight, startling the holy driver, how many heads do you have?" ”

Master Liu recognized that this was Song Zhong of the Thousand Households of the Jinyi Wei Three Institutes, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "Lord Hui, today the Prime Minister of the Internal Governor Wang Gonggong sent a person, named Battle, who is a Tartar, and he wants a small purification, saying that he is going to be sent to the Prince's East Palace. As he spoke, he pointed at Zhang Shixing, and then said: "Who knew that this kid would repent, kick me to the ground, and escape from the imperial pharmacy, so he broke into the noon gate, and returned it to the villain, so as to live up to the trust of the prince." ”

Song Zhong turned his head and asked Zhang Shixing, "Little Tartar, what he said is the truth?" ”

Zhang Shixing said excitedly: "I am Princess Tana's Na Ke'er, I want to serve closely, and when the princess enters the palace, I will naturally follow." The old man said that he would cleanse me so that I could enter the palace and serve the princess, so he sent me elsewhere. I thought he was a good man, but he bound me up and tried to kill me, and I escaped. ”

Master Liu paused and said, "How can I kill you?" ”

Zhang Shixing yelled at him: "You don't harm me, what are you doing to tie me up?" If I want to cleanse myself, I can do it myself, a bucket of water and a sweat towel are enough. ”

Master Liu said with a blushful face: "Do you think that purification is so easy to play, make a human life, how can I wait for the prince to take the bus?" ”

Song Zhong seemed to see something on the side, and asked Zhang Shixing gently, "Little brother, what do you think is a pure body?" ”

Zhang Shixing said a little strangely: "Isn't it just bathing and changing, what else is the explanation?" ”

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

Master Liu was also amused by him, and pointed at Zhang Shixing and said, "Aren't you a fool this little tartar?" ”

Zhang Shixing was laughed inexplicably by everyone, and he was really a little confused by the second monk.

Master Liu said: "If you want to go into the palace to serve the princess, then don't cut your eggs, lest you get into trouble." ”

Zhang Shixing suddenly realized: "We are cowardly on the grassland, and Na Ke'er has not been castrated, and we are not waiting for the Great Khan and the concubine." ”

Song Zhong said: "That's your nonsense and barbarism, not kingly, okay, this matter has been understood, since it involves the East Palace, I will be the prince of Ming, and then make a decision, everyone will disperse." ”
