Chapter 241: Tacit
"Squeak~" The door was quickly pushed open, and the young man guarding the door came in to take a look and then closed the door again.
"You...... How do you know so clearly, no...... Yes, Xu Miao is my great-grandfather. Xu Fu stammered.
"That's why my father passed on the Neijing of the Ghost Valley to you, one life into ink, the world for ink, so you are also a disciple of my Mo family, give you a medical book, tell you about the overseas sacred mountain, in order to let you be able to fulfill the wish in your heart, if you can really find the ancient sacred mountain, it can also be regarded as finding a back road for my Mo family, now the Great Qin, there is no place for my Mo disciples, and my Mo disciples are thrifty and hard, really unable to continue, can only rely on the power of Qin King Zhao Zheng......"
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Xu Fu interrupted Huang Tianqiong's words again.
"Zhao Zheng now has the luxury of immortality, raising a large group of medical and Taoist monks to refine the pill for him, and at the same time looking for the elixir of immortality all over the world, you tell the King of Qin Zhao Zheng that there are three sacred mountains overseas, with immortals and immortal fairy grass, we will use the name of finding immortal medicine, let him fund us to leave China, my father has inquired and learned that there are indeed three big islands outside the East China Sea, which may be the legendary Yingzhou, abbot and Penglai, as long as you can go to sea and successfully find one of the three big islands, whether there are immortals and immortal grass on the island, I hundreds of Mo disciples will go overseas and no longer have to worry about the suppression of Daqin, now the Mo family is divided, no more than the glory of Confucianism and Mo, Mo Zhai Patriarch's hard work back then is almost annihilated, as a disciple of the Mo family, my father tried his best to save all this, hard work paid off, more than ten years ago, he went to Yunmeng Mountain to visit the patriarch's seclusion, but was fortunate to meet Mr. Guigu, and Mr. Guigu once had a very good relationship with the ancestor Mo Zhai, once together in Yunmeng Mountain to collect medicine and cultivate, It is a truly enlightened immortal figure, thinking of my father's sincerity, he said about the three islands overseas, and taught the Guigu Neijing a book, so that my father went to Qi to find the descendants of the Mo, so my father after a few years of searching, he taught you the Guigu Neijing! You will know the rest of the matter, originally my father was ready to make you a successful doctor, and after you have a reputation, you will write to Zhao Zhengyan to say this, but at the beginning of the year, I asked people to invite you to come to complete this matter, but it has been delayed until this cold winter is approaching and there is still no trace of you, I arranged for my disciples to go to Qidi to investigate, but there is no news of you, so a few days ago, I had to ask a few monks to present a book, but I didn't want to learn that you also came to Xianyang for a long time, and was also appointed by Zhao Zheng as a doctor, so there is today's invitation! ”
After listening to the ins and outs of Huang Tianqiong's description, Xu Fu only felt like a dream, and was stunned for a long time before leaning over to straighten the medicine box, put away all the things that fell all over the ground, and then lifted the medicine box and stood up.
"I, Xu Fufei, am a Mo disciple, now I am just a healer, my duty is to relieve suffering and save diseases, what does the Mo family have to do with me, not to mention that the overseas sacred mountains are illusory, and offering a book will only cause endless trouble, Fu has lived by the sea since he was a child, and the sea is full of wind, and the huge waves of more than ten zhang are coming to the sky, even a hundred zhang big ship will be subverted, so although I pity the experience of your Mo family disciple, but I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it, and I don't want to get involved! Leave! Xu Fu arched his hand and walked out the door.
"Is Imperial Doctor Xu really so ruthless? Your great-ancestor once defended the city with Juzi, and finally regarded death as home, and now the Mo family is in trouble, how can you see death and not save it? What's more, if there is no Ghost Valley Inner Scripture, how can you have today's scenery, Daqin is strict with the law, heavy servitude, and there is no more momentum of a hundred schools of thought, and the people are already tired......"
Behind Xu Fu, Huang Tianqiong's voice became more and more hurried and cold.
"So what? The general trend of the world has been decided, and now that the six countries are united, who can replace Great Qin, not to mention that even if the First Emperor listened to your advice and wanted to get the immortal elixir shipbuilding to fund you and others to go to sea, what ability do you have to ensure that you will be able to find those three big islands, if the sea ship capsizes on the vast sea, wouldn't the disciples accompanying you all have to be buried in the sea, have you ever thought about it! Xu Fu couldn't help it, turned around and asked loudly.
"My father has been planning this matter for more than ten years, naturally he has already had a detailed plan, as long as someone convinces Zhao Zheng of this matter, there will naturally be other arrangements at that time, you are famous in Qidi, and you are a famous doctor, as long as you say a word, Zhao Zheng must believe that this matter has become more than half, Mo disciple, not only me, and those who hate Daqin, not only my Mo Jiaer, Zhao Zheng is now more than four years old, and ordinary people have no Qi practice in the valley, and they can live to fifty to know the destiny of heaven, as long as Zhao Zheng is dead, The world will become a force of fire and water, and those who replace Great Qin will be surging, and China will experience a huge catastrophe at that time, so if my Mo family wants to avoid this disaster, the only way to escape overseas is to escape overseas! Huang Tianqiong stood up and stared at Xu Fu and said.
"Your Mo family believes in love rather than attack, knowing that the troubled times are coming, why not prevent this catastrophe, but also to avoid disasters and let the people of Li people fall into deep misery, this is a cowardly move, and the Fu ancestor is weak and can serve the deceased, brave and keep promises, I look at what you say and do, has deviated from Mozi far away, not Fu is unwilling to help, but this matter has exceeded the ability of Fu, the first emperor Zhao Zheng is not an indecisive person, every thought has a decision, not Fu can be controlled, since the original Ling Zun passed on my Guigu Neijing, it is also a master and apprentice, I will treat today's events as if they never happened, and I will never reveal half a word and say goodbye! ”
Xu Fu turned around and pushed open the door, glanced at the young man guarding the door, and then strode to the side of the carriage, put the medical box and sat down in the coachman's position, pulled the reins and shook it, and with a sound of driving, the carriage started and left the small courtyard.
"Master, how is this matter?" The carriage went away, and looking at Huang Tianqiong who came out of the room, the young man hurriedly saluted.
"Alas......" Huang Tianqiong sighed and shook his head, "It seems that Juzi's hard work has been in vain, this Xu City doesn't know what kind of bewitchment he has suffered, he doesn't miss the old love at all and refuses, let's go, this is not a place to stay for a long time!" ”
"Master, now that the book has been offered, but the Juzi token is still missing, if the first emperor Zhao Zheng really wants to build a sea ship to go to sea, I am afraid that many ink disciples will not follow the instructions to travel together, what should I do!" As the two walked along, the young man asked in a low voice.
"Hmph, the Juzi token was hidden by the Chu Mo Deng Ling clan, last time I was going to grab it, but it was taken away by a black-clothed masked man, and after a few days of chasing and killing, I didn't know where to go, this matter Juzi has arranged for someone to go to Chu to find it, I believe there will be results soon, but unfortunately Zhao Gao, who has been in contact for many years, was dismissed from the CRRC Decree, otherwise why let me come forward in person this time, and why take the risk to find this Xu City, but even if Xu City can't be used, naturally there is another way, the six kings and Sun nobles, the people who hate Qin, the people of the world, have been suffering for a long time, There will always be someone to bewitch Zhao Zheng, and it is not difficult to go to sea......" The two said and left the courtyard quickly.
At this time, Xu Fu, who was driving the car in person, was churning in his heart.
Recalling Chen Xu's repeated admonitions before Xianyang, at this time he felt more and more Chen Xu's incredibleness, why could a young man in the mountains who had never been far away be able to guess what had not happened in Xianyang? guessed that someone must have presented a book of sacred mountains overseas to Qin Shi Huang, although that person was not himself, but if he hadn't met Chen Xu in Qinghe Town, then according to Huang Tianqiong's arrangement, he came to Xianyang a few months ago and met the so-called friend, then there is a chance that the person who wrote this book is himself.
And if you go to the vast sea to try your luck without any evidence, you will find three ethereal sacred mountains, and the biggest possibility is that you will never go back, and become a pawn of Huang Tianqiong and other ink disciples, either buried in the sea or far away from Middle-earth, and will definitely never come back.
Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on Xu Fu's back.
At the same time, I also felt extremely lucky, fortunately I met Chen Xu in the bandit's den, otherwise I might have been kept in the dark until I died.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Xu Fu completely strangled his hobby of rowing to death, and decided to listen to Chen Xu's words and be a good doctor with peace of mind.
The carriage creaked and bumped all the way, and finally came to the Tongwu Marquis Mansion after half an hour, and the two guards who had been guarding the door hurriedly caught up, one of them picked up the medicine box and led Xu Fu inside: "Imperial Doctor Xu, why is it nearly an hour late today?" ”
"The groom suddenly suffered from a bad stomach, so he waited a little longer, but the result was still not better, so he had to rush over by himself, how is the general doing today?" Xu Fu concealed the past.
"The situation is still the same, nothing has changed!" One of the guards said with a sad face.
The three of them soon entered a large room, which also had a bedroom, and several guards with large swords guarding the door.
Xu Fu pushed the door into the bedroom under the leadership of a guard, and on a large kang, Wang Jian with white hair was lying on it, covered with a sheet, his eyes were closed and his face was dull, although he was breathing slightly, but he did not move at all like a vegetative person.
Xu Fu sat on the stool next to the kang, first took Wang Qian's pulse, stopped after half an hour, and then opened the medicine box after a long time of muttering, took out a few pieces of hemp pulp paper and pen and ink, wrote a prescription on the wooden table, handed it to the guard, and said: "The general's illness can only be slowly recuperated, take this prescription to the Imperial Doctor's Office, dispense the medicine according to the prescription, and take it back, and then I will tell you about the decoction." ”
"Whoa!" The guard took the prescription and turned to leave.
"Hey, there's Qinghe wine in the general's room?"
When Xu Fu stood up to pack up the medicine box, he suddenly saw a row of Qinghe wine bottles placed on the wooden cabinet, and couldn't help but pick it up and look at it next to each other, and found that most of them were still wine, his face was surprised and a little surprised at the same time, he secretly looked at the door and found that it had been closed by the departing guards, so he opened a bottle with a bang, and instantly a clear fragrance of fruit wine emanated.
"The general is in a coma now, I don't know when I will wake up, well, I may not wake up in the future, wouldn't it be a pity to put such a fine wine here, Fu hasn't drunk it for a long time, wait for Fu to taste some secretly, no one will know!"
Xu Fu was talking to himself, while sitting down with a bottle of Qinghe wine, and even picked up a jade cup on the table and poured most of the cup, and poured it a few times skillfully, so that the tannic substances in it could better contact with the air, and reduce the sour taste inside after oxidation.
As a more mellow aroma of wine emanated in the room, Xu Fu sniffed the wine glass vigorously in a fascination, then took a large gulp and put it in his mouth, swallowed it slowly after a while, and soon his face was flushed.
"Good wine~" Xu Fu praised, and then took another sip, his face full of satisfaction and intoxication.
But just as he was shaking his head and drinking and admiring, Wang Jian who was lying on the kang twitched a few times on his face, then opened his eyes and sat up slowly, looking at Xu Fu who was drinking with his back to him fiercely.
Xu Fu didn't seem to know, after drinking two glasses in a row, he felt a little dizzy and then put down the cup contentedly, and then put the remaining half bottle of wine in his hand back to its place, but after thinking for a while, he took it again.
"The general is terminally ill, it is estimated that he will not wake up in the future, and Fu will not be found out if he secretly took away a bottle!" Xu Fu said to himself, put half a bottle of wine into his medicine box, covered it with a bandage, then looked up at the row of wine bottles on the cabinet, thought about it, and took down another bottle and put it in and covered it.
"Is the old man's wine good?" Just as Xu Fu was about to take the third bottle, a gloomy voice came from behind.
"It's delicious, and it's delicious!" Xu Fu subconsciously replied, but then his body stiffened, and then he slowly turned his head, only to see an old face with snow-white hair less than a foot away from him, but Xu Fu did not see too much surprise on his face, but his face was full of wine and smiles, "General, are you finally willing to wake up?" ”
"Humph!" Wang Jian snorted coldly and stood up, "You took away the old man's guards, and deliberately stole the old man's wine, if I don't wake up, will you empty the old man's house!" ”
"Hehe, how could it be, Fu has not drunk grape wine for a long time since he left Qinghe Town, and he is happy to see it now, but he didn't expect the general to be reluctant to give up this wine, and he will be fine, Fu is very ......happy."
Wang Jian twitched a few times, this Xu Fu's shamelessness was about the same as that of an unscrupulous young man in Qinghe Town.
"Tell me, you stole the old man's wine and forced me to wake up to see you, what is the matter?" After a while, Wang Jian asked, rubbing his beard.
"General, Fu Lai Xianyang has been many days, I am very worried about the matter of Qinghe Town Health Center, when Rifu left, he wrote to Chen Lidian after coming, but he has not found anyone to bring the letter back to this day, I am afraid that he is worried about the safety of Fu, so I want to write a letter to ask the old general to arrange someone to help send it, otherwise the cold winter will cut off the message!" Xu Fu hurriedly bowed and said.
"That's it?" Wang Jian twitched a few times with a fierce face.
"That's it!" Xu Fu nodded.
Wang Jian opened his eyes angrily, and after a while, he sighed and waved his hand and said, "You write quickly, and I will arrange for someone to send you away tomorrow!" ”
"Thank you, old general!" Xu Fu was overjoyed, quickly took out a few pieces of hemp pulp paper and pen and ink, lay on the case and did it overnight, quickly wrote two pages, folded it and handed it to Wang Jian after drying, "I'm tired of the old general, I am grateful, rest assured, the old general is lying in bed and faking illness, Fu will be tight-lipped and will not reveal a cent!" (Note: The word tight-lipped originated in the Tang Dynasty, and you won't get pregnant if you use it in advance here!) )
"I don't dare to forgive you, not to mention that the old man pretending to be sick has something to do with you and Chen Xu!" Wang Jian snorted coldly after taking it.
Xu Fu was stunned for a long time before asking, "Why?" Please also ask the old general to make it clear! ”
"It's too early to say this, you don't need to know, just diagnose and treat it on time as usual!" Wang Jian said.
"Yes!" Xu Fu hurriedly closed the medical box a few times, while Wang Jian looked at the three bottles of wine that were covered inside, and his face twitched slightly, but he didn't stop it.
Xu Fu already knew about his pretending to be sick, but the two sides didn't poke each other, and he had expected it, so before pretending to be unconscious, he revealed that his illness could only be cured by Xu Fu, a doctor in Qinghe Town, so Qin Shi Huang immediately ordered Xuanwu Wei to go to Qinghe Town to invite Xu Fu after he came to visit, and Xu Fu's name had been clearly stated to Qin Shi Huang as early as the day after Wang Jian returned to Xianyang. and said that Qin Shi Huang would set up a Daqin Health Center to train a large number of surgical doctors, and Qin Shi Huang also nodded on the spot, but because Xu Fu was not there, he kept delaying it.
So between Xu Fu and Wang Qian, there is a tacit understanding, although Xu Fu knows that Wang Jian is a fake disease, but he can't tell the emperor about this kind of thing, because the emperor won't do anything to Wang Qian, and he will only offend a general who is famous in Great Qin, it's completely okay to find a draw, and he doesn't want to figure out the reason why Wang Jian is pretending to be sick, he is just a small shrimp, maybe there will be no bones left in a chaotic battle.
Half an hour later, Xu Fu left the Tongwu Hou Mansion with the medicine box, and drove back to the Taiyi Department by himself, and then heard that his coachman was about to collapse from diarrhea, so he recalled what Huang Tianqiong had said, and hid in the Taiyi Office for no reason after shivering.
After Xu Fu left, Wang Jian opened the letter, and after a while, he refolded it with a strange face, and after lying on the kang again, he pressed a stone brick at the head of the bed, and the big kang suddenly collapsed down, and then quickly returned to its original state, but there was no trace of Wang Jian on it, and a few minutes later, Wang Jian appeared in a courtyard next to the Tongwu Marquis' Mansion, and there were seven or eight fierce guards patrolling it, and they all saluted together after seeing Wang Qian.
"Wang San, Wang Si, you two send this letter to Qinghe Town as soon as possible and hand it over to Chen Xu!" Wang Jian handed a bamboo tube to one of them, "The cold winter is coming, you don't have to come back after sending it, protect Chen Xu and Sanniang!" ”
"Oh~" The two guards promised together.
