Chapter 4: Don't be slippery
She originally had a headache about how to get in to find clues, but she didn't expect the gods to help her.
A few days later, the tragedy of Dingjiabao was discovered, the small village was instantly overcrowded, and there were fast horses coming and going here every day.
Such a God-given opportunity, originally she wanted to wait for the spirit of the wind to wake up and then go on the road together, but she didn't think that the guy was sleeping too deeply, and he didn't react at all, time waited for no one, so she had to come first.
Bang Xi "sucked", sucked the cool skin into her mouth, and then squinted her eyes with satisfaction, these days her father's whereabouts have not been discovered, but they have been discovered...... The food of this world tastes so good.
Just as she was enjoying the food without distractions, a sharp voice at the next table suddenly said: "Dingjiabao's medicinal fields are unique, and the medicinal herb business has always done well.......
"What's wrong with doing things for the imperial court? How many families have business dealings with the imperial village, how did they suffer such a disaster?"
"You don't understand, there was news on the road before that the order they received this time was related to the emperor. The shrill voice lowered his voice, "Isn't that one always on the quest for elixir...... There are so many elixirs in Dingjiabao, maybe he really made such a treasure to be ......" He made a gesture to wipe his neck.
There was a moment of silence all around, and the pursuit of immortality in today's saints is the most important among several emperors since the founding of the dynasty, which is known to everyone in the rivers and lakes. If Ding Jiabao was indeed working for the emperor before, then this person's speculation seems to be really possible!
Chopsticks to pick up vegetables, that night, the breath of imperial medicine did appear in Dingjiabao, could it be that Dingjiabao really has something to do with imperial medicine?
She kept an eye on it and continued to listen quietly, but unfortunately the shrill voice was probably also speculation, except for gossiping about the legendary elixir, there was no tangible evidence.
"It's just a thing whose efficacy has not yet been proven, is it worth such a big fight?" At this time, a clear and pleasant voice interjected, and laughed twice, I don't know if it was the group of thieves who killed people and oversold goods, or the man's guess at first.
"Is that a high opinion under the feet?" replied in a shrill voice.
"I don't dare to be high, it's just that there is an imperial medicine in this world that can make people immortal and resurrect the dead, and it has reappeared in the world as early as fifteen years ago.
Suddenly hearing this, the hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and even the breath was almost chosen.
But over there, as soon as the young man finished saying this, he was not surprised that he was immediately ridiculed by the group.
"Hey, if there really is such a miracle medicine, now these Jianghu families, as well as the emperor in the palace, where can they still use to refine any elixir? Young man, you have to have a score to speak......
"I say the truth every word!" was questioned, and the young man argued with reason, "There are ancient books that in the past, the Emperor of Heaven gave the elixir of immortality to his descendants who left on the earth, but it is a pity that human greed has caused turmoil in the mortal world, and the remnants have to leave this land and flee overseas. ”
In order to prove that the imperial medicine is real, he also added: "In the past, the Qin Emperor sent people to the sea, intending to find the Sanshen Mountain where the descendants of the legendary gods lived, but unfortunately to no avail, the descendants could only turn to find the recipe for making the elixir." ”
Bang Xi raised his head and moved his gaze to the table opposite, and found that this was an extremely handsome man, who had just been ridiculed, and his face was particularly flushed at the moment.
Being watched by so many pairs of eyes, Ning Xi wiped his face, trying to make himself look more calm, and suddenly inserted a crisp female voice diagonally opposite.
"Then how do you conclude that the imperial medicine has reappeared in the world fifteen years ago?"
He turned his head to meet a pair of black and white, sparkling eyes.
Leaning forward slightly, his eyes staring at Ning Xi tightly without blinking.
Seeing this, Ning Xi only doubted her words when this girl was like those people around her, so she took a sip of tea and moistened her dry throat, and then said word by word: "This news was sold to me by Mr. Zhuge . ”
Who is Mr. Zhuge again?
Bang Xi was confused, and the people around him were already excited, and they confirmed to Ning Xi again and again: "What you said about Mr. Zhuge is that Bai Xiaosheng of the rivers and lakes?"
"Naturally. Ning Xi snorted, looking proud.
"Who is this Mr. Zhuge ?" Pulling a person next to him asked.
The man's face was full of disdain, "You're from a poor country, right?
Bang Xi coughed lightly, covered his sleeves and said: "I have been cultivating on the mountain with my master for many years, and it is indeed the first time I have come down the mountain......
"Mr. Zhuge is famous, from his claim to be 'Bai Xiaosheng in the rivers and lakes', he knows that there is nothing in the rivers and lakes that he does not know, as long as you can afford the price, or have a secret of equivalent value that can be exchanged with him. ”
No wonder this delicate-looking man is dressed ordinarily, and when this Mr. Zhuge is mentioned, no one questions whether he has enough money.
His gaze fell on Ning Xi at the opposite table, and there was a bit of scheming hidden in it.
After three rounds of drinking, people were in three urgies, Ning Xi put down his chopsticks and arched his hand to the left and right: "I'm sorry, I'll come when I go." He asked the nearby maid for the direction of the court's room, and walked alone along the path to the courtyard at the back.
At this time, the birthday banquet was in full swing, singing and dancing were noisy, and almost everyone gathered in front, so when Ning Xi walked back, he was secluded all the way, and almost no one was encountered.
After solving the physiological needs, Ning Xi came out of the Gong room, it was the most lax time, and in the next second, before he could see the scenery in front of him clearly, it was dark in front of him, and a sack fell from the sky and put him in.
Then a rope tied him up in a strong knot.
"Don't waste your strength struggling, you won't be able to escape. A strange voice said this near him, and he wanted to shout, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he could not get out half of the syllable.
Bang Xi knocked on his head, pinched his throat and said, "I'll ask you a few questions, and if you answer honestly, I won't hurt you." ”
Ning Xi nodded hurriedly.
"I want to know what you heard from Mr. Zhuge about the whole content of the imperial medicine. ”
As soon as the words fell, Ning Xi felt that his throat had loosened and he could speak again.
He coughed, and the first thing he asked was, "You want the imperial medicine?"
"Honestly, don't ask so much. Bang Xi smacked him on the head again.
"I ...... I don't actually know much...... "Ningxi said hesitantly.
"Don't be slick, didn't you just say at the banquet that Mr. Zhuge sold you this news?"
