Gu Qinghan said: "Miss Tang has a good temperament and is also kind, you let people come to the house, how can Miss Tang refuse?" Yesterday morning, the Tian family girl has been in the Tang girl's house did not come out, at noon I also asked people to arrange meals for their mother and daughter, until the afternoon to take two pairs of medicine to leave, I heard that the Tian family girl's eye disease is not easy to treat, it will take some time, every few days to come to see.

Qi Ningxi said: "That means, is there really hope?" ”

Gu Qinghan said: "If you go back and ask Miss Tang, I can't say very clearly." But since they are allowed to come over often, there should be some hope. He sighed lightly: "It's a pity to think about it, I heard that the girl has been suffering from eye disease for many years, and she has seen a lot of doctors, but it hasn't improved. ”

"The previous epidemic in the capital was shot by Miss Tang." Qi Ning said with a smile: "If you talk about accumulating virtue, the virtue she has accumulated is enough for several lifetimes." ”

Gu Qinghan closed the box and said, "Okay, you go to eat first, and I'll clean it up here." ”

Qi Ning hurriedly said: "Sanniang, don't worry, I have one more thing to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Sanniang, do you know Beigong Liancheng?" Qi Ning asked, "One of the five great masters in the world, he is known as the Sword God. ”

Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "You mean the second old lady of the Qi family?" Why did you suddenly think of him? ”

"Sanniang, how much do you know about Beigong?" Qi Ning asked: "He is a member of the Qi family, why did he revert to Beigong?" ”

Gu Qinghan thought for a moment before he said: "When I got married, the second old lady was already out of the mansion, in fact, he had never been to the Hou Mansion, and few people in the mansion mentioned him. I only know that when he was young, he traveled everywhere, and the relationship with the Qi family was very estranged, and I had never seen him. ”

"Then do you know why he reverted to Beigong?"

Gu Qinghan shook his head and said, "I haven't asked either, in fact, I did, and no one told me." ”

When Qi Ning heard Gu Qinghan say this, she knew that her knowledge of Beigong Liancheng was also extremely limited, and she was a little disappointed, and suddenly heard a voice from outside the door: "Third lady, Hou Ye, someone from the palace came over and left a letter for Hou Ye." ”

Qi Ning went out and saw that Manager Han was standing far away from the door of the house, and went over and asked, "Someone from the palace?" ”

Manager Han presented a letter and said: "It was sent by Gonggong Fan personally, saying that it was a secret letter from the emperor to the Hou Ye, and after he left the letter, he did not stay and hurried back to the palace." ”

Qi Ning took the letter, opened it and glanced at it a few times, there was a slight surprise in his eyes, but he still put away the letter and said in a low voice: "Manager Han, you go to a place ......!" Leaning close to his ear and whispering a few words, Manager Han immediately said yes and hurriedly retreated.

Early the next morning, Qi Ning just got up, and another guest came, cleaned up, and arrived in the front hall, only to see an official over forty years old sitting in the hall drinking tea and waiting, seeing Qi Ning come in, he hurriedly got up to greet him and saluted: "Hu Bowen, the left waiter of the lower official rite department, meet the Hou Ye!" ”

Qi Ning saw that Hu Bowen was in his early forties, with a Chinese face, a dignified appearance, and a rather elegant atmosphere, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Hu, come, you're welcome, please take a seat." After the guest host sat down, Hu Bowen smiled and said: "Master Hou, the lower officials came today on the order of Yuan Laoshangshu to ask for instructions. ”

"Excuse me?"

"Lord Hou is the envoy of the Eastern Qi this time, and after discussion, the lower official has the honor to follow the lord to go with him." Hu Bowen said with a smile: "The lower officials can still help by following the Hou Ye and doing chores." ”

Qi Ning smiled: "That's very good. "I thought that after the emperor issued an order to go to Dongqi to ask for relatives, the efficiency of the imperial court was also dissatisfied, and a deputy envoy had been arranged, Hu Bowen was the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, only under Yuan Laoshangshu, this person was naturally clear about diplomatic etiquette, and it was really good to have such a person by his side to help.

Hu Bowen got up and took a list and presented it: "Master Hou, this is a list of gifts prepared by the Ministry of Rites, please take a look at it first." This time to go to Dongqi to ask for relatives, it is not trivial, although Dongqi is a small country, but we can not lose the number of courtesy, this list of gifts, in line with the diplomatic etiquette system, can also show our great Chu style, Hou Ye to see if there is anything that needs to be cut and added. ”

Qi Ning took the list, scanned it, and found that the gifts listed on it were really rich, and couldn't help asking: "Master Hu, that Dou Shangshu in the household department shouts poor every day, the gifts on this list are worth a lot of money, and their household department can buy them?" ”

Hu Bowen said with a smile: "Master Hou, it is our business to send an envoy to Dongqi, but this preparation of gifts is the business of the household department." Making a list is an errand in our etiquette department, and we don't need to think about whether the household department can be ready, but whether it is in line with the etiquette system. Hou Ye knows that if the gifts prepared this time are too shabby, criticized by the people of Dongqi, and lose the face of the imperial court, it is inevitable that some people will say that our Ministry of Rites is not careful, and the responsibility will fall on us. ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "So the gifts that should be prepared, even if we report them, whether we can prepare them is a matter for the household department." ”

"That's right." Hu Bowen said: "But everything still has to be seen by Hou Ye, if Hou Ye thinks it is not appropriate, the next official will take it back, and then discuss." ”

Qi Ning closed the list, handed it back, and said, "Since everything has been agreed, I don't have any opinions here, just send this list to the household department." ”

Hu Bowen put away the list and said, "The subordinate obeys the order." ”

"Master Hu, how long do you think we still need to prepare?" Qi Ning asked.

Hu Bowen said: "The Ministry of Rites also chose a few days, these days are conducive to travel, the earliest is after three days, the slowest is after seventeen days, but the best day is after eight days, eight days after the auspicious day, the most suitable to travel, Yuan Laoshangshu means, we had better travel on May 18 after eight days, so when Xia Guan goes to the household department today to send this list, he will also discuss with the household department, so that they try to prepare these gifts within eight days, do not delay the day of travel." ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "Everything is up to you to arrange, where you need my cooperation, just come to me." ”

Hu Bowen arched his hand and said: "The lower officials are not too disturbed, if the Hou Ye thinks of anything that needs to be arranged, he can also send someone to find the lower officials at any time." ”

Qi Ning was reluctant to deal too much with the people in the household department, but now that Hu Bowen has to deal with these things, it makes Qi Ning feel quite comfortable, anyway, these bits and pieces also need people like Hu Bowen to take care of.

At dusk, Qi Ning asked people to prepare the carriage, the carriage was just ready, someone came to report, someone outside the house asked to see, Qi Ning knew who came over, let people welcome in, and soon saw a brocade dressed in a crown and hat Jiuxi Poison King Swing Yi came to the hall, Qi Ning saw the Jiuxi Poison King dressed up, and said with a smile: "The Poison King's clothes are changed, and he really looks like an old squire who has been raising for days." ”

Swing Yi sat down, glanced at Qi Ning, and asked, "What the hell are you going to do?" Why did you let the old man change into this dress? ”

Qi Ning sent Manager Han last night, that is, he asked him to find Qiu Qian Yi, and even brought this set of clothes to change into it, Qi Ning was worried that Qiu Qian Yi had a perverse personality, and he might not change his clothes according to what he said, but when he saw it, he was slightly relieved, and said with a smile: "The Poison King has been in the capital for a few days, and he has never been entertained well, and he just happened to be free today, so he took the Poison King out to relax." ”

Swing Yi was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Where is the old man going, do you still need to take it?" What the hell are you doing, stinky boy? ”

"The Poison King doesn't have to ask." Qi Ning got up and said, "The carriage has been prepared, and the Poison King will go with me." ”

Swing Yi didn't know what medicine was sold in Qi Ning's gourd, hesitated, but still followed Qi Ning out of the door, the two did not ride horses, they shared a carriage, the carriage was chariote, Swing Yi suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Are you going to take me to the palace to see your emperor?" ”

Qi Ning smiled: "Poison King, let me tell you the truth, you have a good reputation, and if you want to enter the palace, I'm afraid that the palace won't let you go." ”

Swing Yi snorted coldly and said, "The old man heard that there are so many masters in the palace, and there are countless masters guarding the emperor around him, why, he is also afraid of the old man?" ”

"The poison king uses the magic of poison to be amazing, and how many people in the world are not afraid?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "To be honest, even if it is me, the kung fu of poisoning the Poison King, that is also admiration, in this world, I am afraid that no one can defeat the Poison King with the poison technique." If I really lead the poison king into the palace, and the poison king will release the poison on a whim at that time, wouldn't I be unlucky? ”

Swing Yi laughed dryly, Qi Ning praised him for his poisoning kung fu that no one could match, but he was very useful in his heart.

"Poison King, let me tell you the truth, do you always think that there are still people in the world who can compare with you in terms of using poison?" Qi Ning asked with a smile: "The world uses poison techniques, and there is no Xichuan, and the Xichuan Poison King is your old, so it should be the first in the world." ”

Swing Yi was used in his heart, but he was modest, and said: "There are many strange people in the world, and the old man can say that he can use the art of poison, and he will not lose to anyone if he looks at the world, but if he wants to say that he is the first in the world, it is not necessarily true." ”

"Oh?" Qi Ningqi said: "Is there still a powerful master?" ”

Swing Yi said: "There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people." After a deep groan, he said, "Have you heard of the Ten Thousand Poison Caves in Southern Xinjiang?" ”

"Ten Thousand Poison Caves?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "This name is majestic. ”

Swing Yi said: "The Ten Thousand Poison Cave in Southern Xinjiang is ancient and is a first-class sect in Southern Xinjiang, and the owner of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave has been called the Gu King for generations, and they are all powerful characters. For a long time, the Ten Thousand Poison Caves in Southern Xinjiang and the Five Poison Sects in Xichuan are known as the two major poison sects in the world, and when it comes to the art of using poison, there are no one out of these two major sects, but in the past hundred years, the Five Poison Gates have gradually declined, and they have long been unable to reach the Ten Thousand Poison Caves, but the Ten Thousand Poison Caves have never been active in Southern Xinjiang, so the Central Plains know little about them. ”

"The Poison King has seen the people of the Ten Thousand Poison Caves?" Qi Ning asked.

Swing Yi said: "I have dealt with it, but there is no deep friendship, the people in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave are sneaky, good and evil are unknown, and they have quirky temperaments, anyway, the old man is not willing to contact them." ”

Qi Ning asked: "Poison King, when it comes to Southern Xinjiang, I suddenly thought that someone had told me before, it seems that one of the Yuan Dou Palaces that dominated the martial arts back then was exiled to Southern Xinjiang, I don't know if the Poison King knows about them?" ”

"Yuan Dou Palace?" Swing Yi stared at Qi Ning and said, "You doll, you also know Yuandou Palace?" Hehe, it seems that the old man underestimated you, but you know a lot. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said: "The Yuandou Palace has long ceased to exist, and the old man also heard that the Yuandou Palace was in turmoil back then, and one of them was indeed exiled to Southern Xinjiang, and it was also dominant in Southern Xinjiang for a while. ”
