Let Hu Yan pass through the exorcism and so on, and be well overnight. Early the next morning, a sergeant came early to report and asked Mr. Nangong to get ready, but he didn't say where he was going, and he was not allowed to let Uncle Fox and nephew see him off.

At the beginning of the hour, there was the sound of a car outside the inn, and Nangong Han, who had just drunk a bowl of wild rice porridge and eaten two baked cakes, got up and went out.

When I went out, I saw that it was not a carriage for people to ride, but a large wooden barrel that looked like it came out of the East Palace to transport dung. When Nangong Han saw it, he turned around and went back to the inn, presumably waiting.

However, several sergeants who accompanied him stopped him, and one of the leaders stretched out his right hand to make a gesture of invitation, saying, "Sir, please!" A look that makes people unable to question and refuse.

Nangong Han was a little embarrassed and said, "This is not appropriate, is it?" ”

The leader said: "Sir, rest assured, although it is a dung bucket, it has never been used, and there is no filth, sir. ”

Nangong Han smiled happily and said, "It's the first time in my life to enter the dung bucket, it's interesting!" After saying that, with the help of the sergeant, he got into the dung bucket, and the sergeant closed the lid and left.

Nangong Han, who was curled up in the dung bucket, closed his eyes, listened to the creaking sound of the car and thought, to go to see a doctor and hide in the dung car, this is really a bit mysterious, and there is more luck in this way. He thought in the car

After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, he heard a shout: "Stop! Token! What's in it? The carriage came to a slow stop. The leader of the sergeant stepped forward and said, "Lord Captain, this is what the palace needs." ”

"What palace? What is it? ”

"Donggong! It's the dung truck that Donggong needs! ”

"Bastard thing, can the thing that enters the palace be called a dung truck?"

"My subordinates really don't know what it's called, and the captain told me."

"Okay, I saw the young marshal come back yesterday, hurry up and go in!"

"Thank you, Captain......"

So the wheels of the car creaked again. After about a moment, the car stopped again. A sergeant lifted the lid and said, "Mr. Nangong, you can come out." ”

Nangong Han stood up, stretched his waist and said, "This way is quite comfortable, I slept well." ”

When I looked closely, it was already in the palace, so I pretended to be frightened and got out of the car with the help of the sergeant. Under the guidance of the sergeant, after passing through a few gorgeous gates, the chamberlain led him to a hall and let him wait outside the hall.

The chamberlain stepped forward again and said, "Sir, I am offended." It was like holding a big magnet and meticulously examining Nangong Han's body, and when it was tested on his waist, Linghu Zhao's token was sucked out by the magnet, and Nangong Han hurriedly explained: "This thing to ward off evil spirits is not a weapon of blades." ”

When the waiter saw the token, he looked cramped and uneasy, and he was busy kneeling, Nangong Han understood a little bit when he saw it, grabbed him, and said softly and majestically: "Calm!" ”

The attendant said, "The little one has seen the chief steward!" ”

"Don't say much, when nothing happens."

"No!"

Between the words, someone came from behind the hall, Nangong Han hurriedly bowed down and waited, and the waiter stepped aside. Young Marshal An didn't arrive, but his voice came first, "Mr. Nangong, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Nangong wanted to bow down, and An Shaoshuai hurriedly said: "Sir, please get up, follow me to the inner room." ”

Nangong Han followed him inside, and the waiter kept following, and when he arrived in the inner room, it was already a bedroom, and the big bed in the room was hung with a curtain, and there were several female dependents in the room, all of whom were not Han, but Hu.

An Qingxu pointed to the stool prepared next to the bed and said, "Sir, please!" Then he said: "Open the curtain!" ”

So a female dependant stepped forward and slowly opened the curtain, and Nangong Han saw clearly that the person lying on the bed was a bloated old woman.

An Qingxu motioned to Nangong Han to take the pulse, and the female family put the woman's left hand on the medical case, Nangong Han took the pulse, and the pulse was tight, especially the most severe, such as pressing a tight rope. After finishing the left hand, signal the right hand. The woman had to turn the woman over, and in the process of turning over, the old woman let others swing and closed her eyes. handed over his right hand, and the pulse of his right hand was like a string, and Nangong Han probably had a bottom in his heart.

He asked An Shaoshuai, "Can you look at Madame's tongue?" ”

"Mr. Nangong, I can't look at her tongue at the moment. You just took the pulse, what is the disease? ”

Nangong Han knew that this was a test for him, but fortunately, although he was not alive in Hua Tuo, he was still proficient, so he said with great confidence: "Madame has suffered a stroke and has been in a coma for at least three days, so she needs to take the decoction as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to help." ”

An Qingxu shouted loudly: "Everything obeys Mr. Nangong's orders." So Nangong Han hurriedly prescribed a prescription, using bezoar and musk to awaken and enlighten the mind, and asked the waiter to hurry to the outskirts of the city to find bamboo and cut fresh ones.

After the order, An Qingxu asked Nangong Han to go outside for questioning.

"How's this going on?"

"Young marshal, not optimistic."

"How sure are you?"

"Less than fifty percent, the delay is too long, if you ask Dr. Luoyang for diagnosis and treatment at that time, I am afraid that it will be no big problem now."

"Mr. Nangong, you are the doctor I invited, do your best, no matter what, Ben Shuai will not blame you."

"Young marshal, try your best to be yourself, I am afraid that I am only shallow in my studies and misunderstand the old lady."

"I don't need to say more about this, you do your best. You will live here for a few days, and I will arrange for your father-in-law and wife, please rest assured. ”

"No!"

An Qingxu said to the attendant: "When the old lady wakes up, someone will come to report." And he went out.

About a moment, the attendant who grabbed the medicine according to the prescription came back, Nangong Han hurriedly boiled the medicine, melted the bezoar, and then rushed into the musk with the medicinal liquid, pried open the old lady's mouth, and poured the medicine liquid into the old woman's mouth one after another.

An hour has passed, Nangong Han is checking the pulse, the pulse is still tight, it stands to reason that after taking such a prescription, he can't wake up immediately, and there should be some relief. Nangong Han became a little nervous, and at this time, the attendant glanced at him, and after Nangong Han understood, he said to several waiters in the room: "I want to go to the toilet." ”

Then the waiter volunteered, "I'll take my husband." ”

Follow the waiter out and out of a few rooms, where the waiter invites him to a hut. Nangong Han asked urgently: "To make a long story short, who is the old man?" ”

"The young marshal's nurse. The young marshal was imprisoned in Chang'an because of his mother and brother as a hostage, and he was raised by this nurse. ”

"What's the onset of this illness?"

"I don't know who told me that the imprisoned Mrs. Kang and her son had been beheaded in Chang'an, so the blood gushed up and fell to the ground."

"Then why wait for the young marshal to come back to save it?"

"Mrs. Duan is in charge of the harem, and no one dares to ask for a doctor without her instructions."

"Well, I know the ins and outs of this. Now I ask you again, are there any of us in the palace? With that, he flashed the token from his waist.

The attendant hurriedly said: "Tell the chief steward, there are not many of us in the palace, but as long as the chief steward commands, I will do it." ”

"Hmmm! It's okay for the time being, and I'll ask you again when I have any questions. I was going to Yangzhou to seek work, but I didn't expect to be robbed halfway and fall here. ”

"That villain asks, don't be angry, the young marshal seems to trust you very much."

"Well, you can see that, too. I have treated him, so trust me. After speaking, he grabbed the waiter's shoulder and said: "I was sent to Yangzhou this time to carry out a secret mission, you are not allowed to report to your superiors, leak the news, be careful of the head." Do you understand? ”

"The villain understands that I am ventilating the news in the organization." As he spoke, he pulled out his token, and on one side was a dog, and on the other side was the same seal script.

Nangong Han estimated that this organization was ranked according to the zodiac, and pretended to be very clear and said, "It's not appropriate to stay for a long time, let's leave quickly." I will tell you something, don't show your feet if you have nothing to do. ”

The attendant hurriedly said, "The villain understands, remember the teachings of the chief." ”

Nangong Han asked again: "Your surname?" ”

"The villain's surname is Zheng, there is nothing to say, the manager calls me Zheng Nu."

"Oh!"

……

The two came out, and when they arrived in the lobby, a female dependent came out to report that the old lady was in a hurry, and her throat was "ho-ho".

Nangong Han hurriedly went to look, only to see that the old woman seemed to be conscious, but there was phlegm in her throat, and it was hissing.

Nangong Han shouted loudly: "Have you ever cut the bamboo?" ”

The waiter replied that he hadn't arrived yet? Nangong Han asked again, there was a bamboo forest in the palace.

Zheng Nu replied: "There is a clump of spotted bamboos in the east corner of Nangong, I don't know if it can be used?" ”

Nangong Han wasn't sure if it was available, but it was better than nothing. Immediately said, "Go and chop a few of them." ”

Zheng Nu had to be ordered to go. Nangong Han asked a few female dependents to bring a brazier to the courtyard and burn it. Soon, Zheng Nu cut down the bamboo. Nangong hurriedly told him to cut it into short knots, put it on the fire and roast it, and soon the end of the bamboo was roasted out of the bamboo drain, Nangong Han hurriedly took the cup and took it, and others followed suit. After a while, he took half a cup of bamboo lee and quickly asked the female dependents to pour it into the old lady. After pouring three cups of bamboo lee and pouring it, the old man suddenly coughed a few times, a large piece of thick phlegm gushed out of his mouth, and the sound of "ho ho" in his throat suddenly disappeared. Not long after, the old lady opened her eyes, looked around weakly, and burst into tears.

At this time, An Qingxu walked in and saw that the old lady had woken up, and was busy kneeling on the side of the couch and crying with joy: "A-Niang......", as soon as she shouted, she couldn't cry.

Nangong Han hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Young marshal, the old lady's condition has improved slightly, don't be too sad and happy, you still need to recuperate in the later stage to recover." It is also possible to fall into the lower half of the body. ”

An Qingxu said: "Mr. Nangong will do his best, Ben Shuai will not treat you badly, as long as you cure A-Niang, as long as I can give it, you can just say it." ”

"The young marshal said this, he didn't treat the contemptible person as his own person, now that the old lady is taking medicine, the contemptible person will not leave here, observe all the symptoms of the old lady, carefully recuperate, and serve the work of dogs and horses."

An Qingxu held the old lady's hand again, called the old lady gently, and refused to leave for a long time. The people around him were all moved. When Nangong Han saw this scene, he was also grateful, people are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless.

After two hours, I poured bamboo drain a few more times, and the phlegm in the old lady's throat was almost clear. Seeing this, An Qingxu happily handled official business.

Nangong Han gave Zheng Nu a look and said to himself: "You look, I want to go to the toilet." Zheng Nu hurriedly said, "Sir, I'll take you there." ”

The two of them walked to no one's place, and Nangong Han said: "The young marshal and A-Niang, the relationship is quite deep?" ”

"The villain has been in the Eastern Capital Palace since he was a child, and after the fall, he stayed here to serve, and when they saw that I was honest, they let me continue to be a close attendant. The old lady has a deep relationship with the young marshal, and she is very concerned about the young marshal in Hangu Pass. Later, I found out that it was not my own mother and son, but my adoptive mother. ”

"Is there anyone you can trust in this palace?"

"There are three people in the East Palace, all of whom are at the same level as me, and they hold dog tags."

"Then there's no one in charge?"

"Yes Every time he met with us it was at night, with his face covered, and he could only listen to his voice and not see others. We all obey his command and dispatch. ”

"Well, I know, you guys are mostly one-line contacts, why do you want to reveal your identity when you see my token?"

"Lord Steward, at that time, I thought you were signaling me to look at the token and know that I was from this line, so I ......"

"Stupid, you can't easily reveal your identity in the future, and you can't tell your superiors that I'm here, and you can't tell the other two, understand?"

"The villain understands, the villain understands." Zheng Nu was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees.

"So cowardly, why did you recruit you into the organization in the first place?"

"The villain doesn't know whether to say it or not?"

"If you want to say it, just say it." Nangong Han said sharply.

"The villain entered the palace since he was a child, and he didn't think about trespassing, but they probably saw that I had been serving the East Palace for a long time and wanted to install people in the East Palace, so they forcibly pulled me into the water. I'm going to die if I don't go into the water. ”

Nangong Han snickered a little in his heart when he heard this, this tight organization is nothing more than this, it seems that there are many people who have been coerced and pulled into the water like Ling Huzhao. He wanted to ask what the two words on the back of the token were, for fear of arousing Zheng Nu's suspicions, so he didn't dare to speak rashly.

What kind of organization is this? He wanted to continue to set Zheng Nu's words.

"Zheng Nu, you also helped me this time, I won't forget you, if the move is done in the future, I will definitely protect you."

"Lord Director, Zheng Nu doesn't have any other ideas, as long as you can save my life, I am grateful."

"You are so smart, how can you worry about your life? No, if I can help you then, I will help you. ”

"Boss, you haven't forgotten the rules of the organization, have you?"

Nangong was shocked, and he didn't know why he stipulated it, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly, so he laughed and said: "There are too many of those provisions, I probably remember, and some have forgotten." ”

"Article 7 of the Xi Zhong Association, each member of the association can have a chance to avoid death if he makes a mistake or commit a crime, but he needs to be sponsored by a senior officer above the head manager."

Now Nangong Han can hear it clearly-Xi Zhonghui, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, what bullshit rules, but blurted out: "This! How could I not know? You know, don't worry, if you encounter this matter in the future, report to me as the governor of Yangzhou, and I will protect you. ”

This made Zheng Nu overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I really met a nobleman." Nangong Han picked it up, "What are you doing?" Don't look at the occasion either. Put away the snot and tears. We are now within the rebels, don't make a mistake. ”

Zheng Nu hurriedly put away his affectionate apology, "The manager is right, I will keep it a secret......"

Nangong Han pointed to his head and nodded: "You go first, don't make people suspicious, be smart." ”

Zheng Nu couldn't help but go, Nangong Han took out the token, looked carefully at the two seal characters, and sure enough, it was "Xi Zhong".

He kept rubbing, thinking, how can you call Xi Zhong?
