Chapter 446: The Deepest Prisoner
Liu He was shocked when he heard this, he never expected that this old eunuch surnamed Huang would have such a high status in the palace, to say so, this Huang Gonggong should already be the highest level of eunuchs, and he should be a regular servant.
But after thinking about it, it is also reasonable, if it is not a eunuch of this level, how can he walk around the palace at will, and still be able to enter the deepest part of this prison.
When I remembered that along the way, all the sentries saw the old eunuch surnamed Huang, and no one stepped forward to check and stop them, even Liu He and the little old man who were following the old eunuch, no one asked a word, Liu He suddenly had some palpitations, in case half of the road was recognized by the old eunuch whose martial arts were not low, the two of them were really difficult to fly.
The old man looked at Liu He, who was in a cold sweat, and said with concern: "This father-in-law, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Liu He hurriedly waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night." ”
The old man said seriously: "Sleepless at night is also a disease, the old man knows a little about medicine, if the father-in-law can trust the old man, the old man can take a pulse for the father-in-law." ”
Liu He hesitated for a moment, looking at the kind eyes of the old man in front of him, it was really difficult to refuse, so he stretched out his arm.
The old man gently put his middle finger on Liu He's wrist and closed his eyes.
After a while, the old man opened his eyes again and said with a smile: "My father-in-law is fine, but I must stay up less late and drink less alcohol in the future." ”
Liu He looked at the old man in surprise, this person is really amazing, just a few pulses, you can know that you often stay up late on weekdays, and you like to drink.
The little old man came over and stabbed Liu He, "Is he right?" ”
Liu He smiled and nodded, as soon as the little old man saw it, he suddenly came to his senses, pushed Liu He aside, hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, and stretched out his arm in front of the old man unceremoniously.
"You're affected, and help me see if there's anything wrong." The little old man said with a hippie smile.
The old man didn't seem to be disgusted by the little old man's rude behavior, and without saying a word, he put his middle finger on the little old man's wrist.
But this time, the old man did not open his eyes immediately like he took Liu He's pulse, but always closed his eyes and remained silent.
The little old man was anxious when he saw it, "Am I sick with something?" ”
The old man ignored the little old man, but frowned and said to himself: "Strange, strange......"
When the little old man heard this, he immediately cried and said with a sad face: "It's over, it's over, it's still a strange disease, what can I do, I haven't lived enough." ”
Only then did the old man open his eyes and said with a smile: "Blame me for being negligent for a while, only caring about the pulse, which made you so frightened." Don't worry, not only are you not sick, but your body is as strong as a young man's, and that's what I just wondered about. ”
The little old man suddenly turned from worry to joy, and looked at Liu He as if he had been reborn.
Liu He immediately thought that the reason why the little old man could have such a physique must be because he had been immersed in the immortal pond for a long time, but of course, these could not be said to the old man.
"It's just ......," the old man paused, "that father-in-law should eat less greasy things in the future, so as not to do that thing every morning not smoothly." ”
Liu He was a little puzzled, and he didn't hear the meaning of the old man's words for a while, but when he looked at the little old man blushing and nodding a little embarrassedly, he realized that no wonder from Chengdu all the way to Xuchang, every morning when the little old man came out of the toilet, he looked exhausted.
It seems that this old man's medical skills are really clever, and in a moment, he has gained insight into the bad habits of the two of them in their daily lives.
Liu He hurriedly pulled up the little old man and saluted with his fists to express his gratitude.
The old man didn't get up, he still sat in the same place, and said calmly: "Since the two of you are not fathers-in-law, you must have been ordered by Prime Minister Cao to come here today. How to let the old man die, the two of them don't have to scruples, they can say it clearly. The old man is a half-cut man who has just a life. ”
Liu He and the little old man glanced at each other, obviously a little caught off guard.
Liu He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "How can you tell that the two of us are not fathers-in-law?" ”
The old man said bluntly: "Lies can deceive people, but pulses can't." The pure yang qi in the two of you is not only undamaged, but also much stronger than ordinary people. ”
Liu He frowned, "You just proposed to diagnose my pulse, just to test me?" ”
The old man raised his eyes and glanced at Liu He, and said sonorously: "The doctor is benevolent, and the old man treats people with the heart of helping the world, and he is not afraid of others such speculation." ”
Liu He stared at the old man carefully for a long time, and suddenly hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Bugui, the two of us are indeed not eunuchs in the palace, but we are not Cao Cao's people. Please rest assured that we will leave this place at the first opportunity, and we will never embarrass him. ”
After that, Liu He picked up the little old man and walked out of the cell.
The two came to a corner where no one was, and Liu He said in a low voice: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's leave here tonight." ”
The little old man also agreed with Liu He's idea, but there was a tricky question, there were no windows here, and it was impossible to see whether the sun was setting or not, how to estimate the time?
Besides, this is the deepest part of the prison, and if you want to get out of here, you can only break in, which means that the whereabouts of the two will be exposed, and it is simply wishful thinking to steal the dragon map.
The only expedient thing to do now is to wait, it is only afternoon, maybe the old eunuch will come back and take them out of the prison, if they return to the imperial dining room where the guards are not so tight, everything will be solved.
In this way, Liu He had to do one thing at the same time, that is, to find a way to stabilize the old man in prison.
Although the old man is kind and kind-eyed, and he is locked up here by Cao Cao, it stands to reason that he should not be a big traitor, but at this critical juncture, everything must be careful.
Back in prison, Liu He sat back in his seat, thinking about how to appease the old man, but unexpectedly, the old man took the lead and said, "You two are really not sent by Cao Cao?" ”
Liu He thought about it for a while, and simply said bluntly: "Sir's questioning of us, just like I questioned just now whether Mr. is deliberately testing me, you and I don't know the identity of the other party now, and we can't judge whether the other party is telling the truth, in this situation, no matter what kind of answer I give, I'm afraid Mr. will not believe me completely." ”
The old man glanced at Liu He meaningfully, "I have a way to know if you are telling the truth, do you dare to do what I say?" ”
