Volume 1 The First Involvement in the Warring States Chapter 045 Living Alchemy

Ximen Hou said: "Brother Lu must think it is appalling. The king listened to Long Yangjun's slander and even believed that he could achieve immortality by taking the pill made of virgins and boys, so although he did not blatantly arrest people to refine on the surface, he acquiesced to Long Yangjun's traitor messing around. ”

Lu Yu looked at Xiao Zhengwen and asked, "Brother Simon said yesterday that he had never seen this little brother, but why did he find him out today and know that he knew the little brother?" ”

Ximen Hou said: "This little brother was rescued more than ten days ago, when he was seriously injured, if it wasn't for the fear of being discovered by Long Yangjun's people, the little brother would not have sent him to such a remote place to recuperate." ”

Lu Yu still had doubts in his heart, and asked again: "The junior brother thanked Brother Simon first, but Brother Simon has not answered why the younger brother knows that he knows about his acquaintance with the younger brother?" ”

Ximen Hou said: "Brother Lu doesn't know, the news that you Jiaolongxia came to Daliang spread like a flood, and the little brother also said when he sent someone to decoct medicine for the little brother, I didn't expect that this little brother would ask to see you as soon as he heard your name, and according to the two people mentioned by Brother Lu, this little brother is just ten years old and knows you, so the little brother immediately knows that he is Brother Lu's old man." ”

Lu Yu hurriedly thanked him, although Xiao Xiao Zhengwen didn't get along with him for a long time, and his feelings were not deep, but after all, he was still righteous, and he became brothers with different surnames with himself and Zhang Wu, Lu Yu actually liked him in his heart. Now that Ximen Hou rescued him in the clutches of Long Yangjun, as long as he knew the ins and outs of the matter and how he was separated from Zhang Wu, he would save a lot of time when he went to Zhao State.

Ximen Hou said again: "Fortunately, my master discovered Long Yangjun's conspiracy early and sent his little brother to investigate secretly, so that he could rescue the little brother by mistake." Today's matter has not yet been reported to the master, because he can help Brother Lu find the old man, the younger brother is anxious, so he immediately brought Brother Lu here. ”

Lu Yu thanked Ximen again. Because in Lu Yu's heart, he always thought that Ximen Hou would not be such a righteous person, when they met for the first time, Wei Mingji's praise for himself caused him to be jealous, but he didn't expect that because of his words, he didn't even inform Xin Lingjun and brought himself to see Xiao Zhengwen privately.

Xiao Zhengwen looked at Lu Yu with pitiful eyes, obviously the injury in his chest hit him quite badly, which made him even struggle to speak. Such a young child, if he was really caught and refined into some elixir of immortality, it would indeed be a tragedy, but fortunately he was rescued by Ximen Hou's people. As for the other children who were not rescued, I am afraid that their luck is not as good as Xiao Zhengwen.

Lu Yu thought that Ximen Hou should be familiar with weapons, so he asked Xiao Zhengwen what weapon caused the wound on his chest.

Ximen Hou said: "This problem has also been thought about by the little brother, such as a blunt instrument such as a sledgehammer. And how it really happened, I'm afraid I will have to tell Brother Lu after the little brother recovers. ”

To deal with a powerless child, the means are so cruel.

Lu Yu said angrily: "If I find out who tortured him like this, I will definitely tear him in half." ”

Ximen Hou persuaded: "Brother Lu must be calm, you must know that the other party's background is not weaker than my master, so this matter must be taken slowly, don't act recklessly, the younger brother is definitely on Brother Lu's side." ”

Lu Yu clenched his fists and said in Xiao Zhengwen's ear: "Xiaowen, although you can recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind, the second brother will definitely help you avenge this." ”

Xiao Zhengwen was so grateful that tears flowed out again, as if he was afraid that Lu Yu would leave, so he weakly stretched out his hand and grabbed his sleeve. His eyes seemed to be begging Lu Yu not to leave him.

Lu Yu wiped his tears for him, and said: "Xiaowen, don't worry, Brother Ximen will definitely help me take care of you, and when your injury is healed, the second brother will take you wherever he goes." ”

Xiao Zhengwen let go of his hand at this time. It may be because I was too tired, and I fell asleep after a while.

Ximen Hou patted Lu Yu's shoulder and said, "Brother Lu's brother is the brother of the younger brother, please rest assured, recuperating here will definitely not be discovered by Long Yangjun's people." ”

Lu Yu felt that these ancient people were incredible, and they could do anything for the sake of an immortality. I still had a good impression of Long Yangjun before, but I didn't expect that this gentleman was also addicted to pills, and he was crazy to use living people to make medicine.

But these things are in this era, the emperor began to be drunk with immortality, and then there were countless alchemists who refined medicine, and the medicinal materials used were all strange, and many of them were indiscriminate, so they would use living people to refine the practice of damaging yin morality.

If what Ximen Hou said is true, then it may be because of the relationship between Xinlingjun that he didn't tell the truth to himself, and the reason why he brought himself here again is because of the struggle between Longyangjun and Xinlingjun, and Lu Yu is currently the object of Xinlingjun's wooing, so he must do something for Lu Yu, so that he owes him a favor and throws himself into his power.

originally thought that Zhang Wu, Ling Fan, Ji Shaoyong and Xiao Zhengwen had always been together, with Zhang Wu and Ling Fan's people, they would definitely not leave Xiao Zhengwen alone, there must be some major changes, otherwise, as Ximen Hou said, there were only Ling Fan and Zhang Wu when they left Daliang, then what did Xiao Zhengwen and Ji Shaoyong do to break away from them? Now that Xiao Zhengwen has been found, if Ji Shaoyong is not with Zhang Wu, then where will he go? These questions may really only be able to give Lu Yu a satisfactory answer after Xiao Zhengwen's injury is healed.

Lu Yu remembered Zhang Wu's third senior brother, so he asked Ximen Hou for advice. Because this person is likely to be one of Xinlingjun's disciples.

Unexpectedly, Ximen Hou didn't know who this person was, and told Lu Yu that when Zhang Wu came to Daliang that day, he had only seen Ling Fan and Zhang Wu together, and Xin Lingjun was not in the mansion when he met them, and whether there was anyone else involved in the process, Ximen Hou didn't know.

From Ximen Hou's tone, Lu Yu could see that he had not deceived himself, Zhang Wu had a secret conversation with Xin Lingjun and the third senior brother who had never seen him, and Ximen Hou did not participate in the process, and Ximen Hou didn't even know where the secret conversation was.

Maybe Xiao Zhengwen knew what the name of this third senior brother was, but he didn't see him with Zhang Wu.

When he left the hut, Lu Yu had been thinking about these enigmatic questions in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. After coming to ancient times, today finally felt tricky for the first time.

Ximen Hou said: "Brother Lu might as well go back to the Lingjun Mansion with the younger brother first, and wait for the younger brother to report the matter to my master, and then make a decision." ”

Lu Yu asked, "When will Xiaowen's injury heal?" ”

Ximen Hou said: "The medicine that has been used for ten days, the king ordered that he must be cured, and the medicine used is prescribed by the imperial doctor, the child's body recovers relatively quickly, and he should be able to get out of bed and walk around in a few days." ”

Lu Yu asked again: "Is Xiaowen really safe here?" ”

Ximen Hou patted his chest and said: "Brother Lu, don't worry, the younger brother dares to guarantee with the head on his neck, and this place will definitely not be discovered by Longyangjun's people." ”

Lu Yu said at this time: "Since this is the case, everything in Xiaowen will trouble Brother Ximen." ”

Ximen Hou said unhappily: "The younger brother has already said that your brother is my brother, your brother has something, how can the younger brother stand by and watch, Brother Lu is still so outside." ”

Lu Yu knew that if he thanked him verbally, he would definitely be unhappy again, so he returned to Xinling Junfu with Ximen Hou.

When I first met Ximen Hou, I misunderstood him, thinking that this person was very popular, but since he came to Daliang, Ximen Hou's attitude towards himself is very enthusiastic, is it because he took the initiative to cushion himself in the burial of Longpo at that time and admired himself, plus this incident made Lu Yu famous, so Ximen Hou tried his best to win himself over, so he had to show that he was putting his heart in his heart?

Maybe these things are not as simple as they seem.

Xinlingjun had just returned from the palace of King Wei, and his face was overjoyed, and when he saw Lu Yu and Ximen Hou waiting for him, he was very happy, and brought the two to the dining room, leaving them to eat together.

Lu Yuqi said: "Why is the king so happy? ”

Xin Lingjun said with a smile: "The Yan people are not self-sufficient, they were defeated by the Qi State, and now their vitality is greatly damaged, and they still want to attack Zhao." ”

At this time, several servants just brought the wine and food, and Xinlingjun was happy, so he urged the servants to quickly pour wine for the three of them, and after drinking three glasses in a row, he patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Benjun is so happy that he drinks with himself, ha, come, Lu Shaoxia, Ximen, you also have a drink." ”

Lu Yu asked: "Didn't the Zhao people decline in national strength after the Battle of Changping, and the Yan people attacked them, so why should they be delusional?" ”

Xin Lingjun slapped the table and said, "That's a good question." The Battle of Changping is indeed a nightmare for the Zhao people, but the Zhao people have Lian Po and Li Mu in one day, who can easily take down the Zhao State? Besides, King Yan forced Le Yi to defect to Zhao State, and now Yan Guo has no available generals except for the old drama Xin, isn't it a delusion? ”

Lu Yu had heard of the two generals of Zhao Guo, both of whom were famous gods of war in this era, and Yan Guo had not heard of other generals except for Le Yi, so he didn't know much about Yan Guo.

Ximen Hou said proudly: "Presumably, Brother Lu should know that the Qin people were also greatly injured in the Battle of Changping, and the monarch also defeated the Qin people and captured Tao County under the Qin people. ”

Xinling Jun said proudly: "Bai Qi can be described as an invincible god of war, but King Qin Zhao actually broke him in the city, coupled with Fan Sui's dismissal, so that Benjun was able to defeat the Qin army." He also said: "If Benjun is not mistaken, the Qin people will not think of large-scale military operations against other vassal states for more than ten years. ”

Lu Yu couldn't help but admire this monarch's military estimate, because Qi knew that since the Battle of Changping, although the Qin State had continued to attack other countries, it was rare to be able to carry out devastating aggression against the six countries one by one after the ascension of the throne.

After Ximen Hou reported Xiao Zhengwen's incident to Xinlingjun, Xinlingjun was shocked and blamed Ximen Hou: "Ximen, do you know that based on this matter, this gentleman can punish you first, fortunately, Lu Shaoxia is not an enemy, otherwise wouldn't he fall into danger?" ”
