Chapter 70: The Search

"Where do I know people in the palace, they were ostracized when they were in the palace, and it is impossible for them to have any contact after leaving the palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xiao Cui smiled helplessly.

"So how do you know? Did you hear a rumor? Tang Xu remembered that on the way to Xiaocui's house last night, he had seen people rushing out of the city, there were many people, and it was possible that there were rumors that Xiaocui would hear them. But Xiao Cui still shook his head, Tang Xu was surprised.

"This thing is magical, yesterday I went to the street to buy a hairpin, and on the way back I met a person, a white-bearded old man, very angry, a bit like a fairy." Xiao Cui recalled.

"Old man with a white beard? Like a fairy? Tang Xu was confused when he heard this, but Xiao Cui can return to him now, and this fairy-like character must have helped.

"Well, the emperor's decree to thoroughly investigate the matter of leaving the palace is what he told me." Xiao Cui replied.

"So he helped you cheat to death?" Tang Xu had always been puzzled by the death of Xiaocui that the Zhang family said, but now he finally had the opportunity to figure it out. Xiao Cui nodded, and couldn't help but praise that it was really amazing.

"He gave me a packet of powdered medicine and told me to mix it with water when I got home, and I wanted three bowls of water, neither too much nor too little. If you don't die, you can't die, and if you have more, you really die. Although Xiao Cui admired the old immortal's cleverness, the painful feeling after taking the medicine still made her feel palpitations.

"Do you still have the powder? I want to see it. "Tang Xu has been studying medicine for a long time and has given birth to some dementia, and now that Xiaocui is safe and sound, he wants to know what kind of rare miracle medicine in the world is. Xiao Cui shook her head and said that it was gone, she had eaten it all, and the old fairy said that she had to take all the leftovers, and she couldn't keep the paper that packed the medicine, and she had to burn it before taking the medicine.

"Oh." Tang Xu secretly thought that this old man just wanted to leave no trace so that others could not peek into the mystery, or he didn't want Tang Xu to see the way. Although this is a bit stingy, it is understandable, after all, peers are enemies. And he saved Xiaocui's life, and Tang Xu endured this curiosity.

"It's an adventure for you, I didn't expect there to be anything else in the world." Tang Xu suddenly remembered someone, and hurriedly asked Xiao Cui if he knew what the name of the old fairy was.

"Unknown, but he said his surname was Liu." Before Xiaocui's words fell, Tang Xu screamed.

"Willow Immortal!" Tang Xu was very excited, this name had been in Tang Xu's heart for a long time, and it was so long that he was about to forget it, but Tang Xu's ability to have today was almost like having the guidance of Immortal Liu.

"Tang Lang, do you also recognize this old immortal?" Xiao Cui looked at him.

"I don't know if it's the same person, if it's really Liu Shenxian, he can be regarded as my mentor, and my medical skills are all taught to me by him."

"Tang Lang, what is the appearance of the Liu Immortal you are talking about?" Xiao Cui also found this thing interesting, and it seemed that there was an arrangement in the dark.

"It doesn't seem to be too special to talk about, thin, not too tall, like to brush his beard when he speaks, but it gives people a feeling of fairy wind and bones." Tang Xu tried hard to recall, and Xiao Cui also said that she couldn't tell how different the Liu Immortal she knew, just a feeling.

"That old immortal is a skilled doctor and very kind, but he is a little arrogant." Tang Xu recalled his dealings with Liu Shenxian.

"Probably the temper of the high-ranking people is not very good." Xiao Cui smiled.

"Xiao Cui, can you still find the old fairy now?" Tang Xu and Liu Shenxian only have a one-sided relationship, but it seems that he has been favored by him everywhere, Tang Xu especially wants to meet him again, and maybe ask what to do in the future.

"We met yesterday on the street, but he has a small stall to write letters for others, and I don't know if he is still there." Xiaocui said that the fairy wrote the letter on behalf of him, and Tang Xu remembered that the fairy Liu was a fortune teller. However, there is no common sense in the behavior of the master, so the two of them still decided to go to the place yesterday to have a look.

"Xiaocui, let's go meet your mother, don't make her sad again." Tang Xu said to Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui bit her lip and said that Immortal Liu had instructed that at least wait for this matter to pass before going home, otherwise all the work will be wasted.

Although Tang Xu could understand the meaning of the old immortal, he couldn't bear to see that the Zhang family had been kept in the dark. Just as he was struggling with his nerves, he heard a knock outside the door. Tang Xu was shocked, and suddenly remembered that it was now past the time to enter the palace, could it be that the emperor had come to look for him again?

"I'll open the door." Xiaocui was about to leave the house as she spoke, Tang Xu hurriedly grabbed her and said don't go, what if I know you?

"Master, I'm now your servant, master, is it possible that you still want to trap me at home and see no one?" Xiao Cui smiled, Tang Xu felt that she was right, but he was still a little worried about whether he would be recognized. But when Xiaocui came back to see him with the people who came to the door, he realized that he was too worried.

"Today, the emperor summoned the Tang Imperial Doctor, but he didn't see him for a long time, I don't know if he was unwell, and the emperor sent a special official to visit." Tang Xu laughed, and the person who came turned out to be Zhang Zhi. Seeing his complacent appearance in his new official uniform, he must have risked his life to meet him at the beginning.

"Congratulations to Imperial Doctor Zhang." Tang Xu bowed his hand to him and invited him to sit down.

"The teacher's complexion is not good, is it not unwell? Let the students take your pulse. Zhang Zhi was very respectful. Tang Xu remembered that Wang Fang had flattered himself so much before, but he didn't expect the boat to capsize so soon.

"Imperial Doctor Zhang, you and I don't need to be polite as officials in the same dynasty." Tang Xu replied, he never wanted people to mess with him, Wang Fang did this for the first time, although Tang Xu felt troublesome, it was still a little fresh. I didn't expect Zhang Zhi to be like this, maybe everyone in this officialdom is also like this, the novelty is gone, and it is only boring.

"The lower official came to visit the Tang Imperial Doctor at the emperor's behest, if the Tang Imperial Doctor is in poor health, the lower official can explain to the emperor on his behalf, so that the Tang Imperial Doctor can recuperate at home." Zhang Zhi really changed his words immediately, compared to Wang Fang, his relationship with Tang Xu was almost none, and he was only polite and polite.

"Then there's Imperial Doctor Lao Zhang." Tang Xu is not a person who likes to listen to flattery, and Zhang Zhi makes him feel more comfortable like this.

"Imperial Doctor Tang doesn't have to be polite." Zhang Zhidao.

"Imperial Doctor Tang, forgive the presumptuousness of the official, I don't know who this son is?" Zhang Zhi glanced at Xiao Cui next to him, he felt strange just now, he said that Tang Xu had no servants at home, and he did everything himself, who was this good-looking little brother in front of him? If it's a guest at home, how can they come to open the door for themselves?

"Oh, he's my distant cousin, and he just arrived in Kaifeng yesterday." Tang Xu replied. Zhang Zhi nodded clearly, and when he saw that there was nothing else to do, he said goodbye to Tang Xu and went back to the palace to resume his life.

After Zhang Zhi walked away for a while, Tang Xu and Xiaocui cleaned up and went out to find the old immortal. Walking on the road, Tang Xu wanted to hold Xiaocui's hand, but she broke free, paced in all directions and said what the two big men looked like on the street, pouting and having to give up.

The two of them walked from east to west, and a small alley appeared around the corner in front of them, where Xiao Cui said that she had met the old fairy yesterday. Tang Xu was excited for a while, and his heart beat faster and faster the further he went, and when he walked to the mouth of the alley, he found that there was a small stall in the depths, and there was a person sitting upright.

"That's the stall." Xiao Cui caught up from behind and said excitedly. Tang Xu grabbed her hand and walked towards the box.

But when they got closer, they found that the person was not Liu Shenxian, and the two felt disappointed.

"What are you two going to write?" The owner of the stall saw Tang Xu and them coming over, thinking that there was business coming to the door, so he got up enthusiastically to greet them. The stall owner, Si Swenwen, looked like a scholar, about thirty years old, wearing a navy blue jacket that was old but cleanly washed, but it was described as very haggard.

"It's not an old fairy, but it's this stall." Xiaocui was very disappointed, and the stall owner looked at her blankly.

"Excuse me, we'd like to ask you personally." Tang Xu thought to himself that the stall was not right for people, and there must be a famous hall among them.

"You're welcome, just ask whatever you want." The stall owner was very generous, still looking at them with a smile on his face.

"Was there an old gentleman here yesterday? Skinny tall white beard. Before Tang Xu finished speaking, Xiao Cui interjected and said like an old fairy.

"I'm sorry for the two of you, I didn't go out of the stall yesterday, and I haven't seen that old gentleman." The stall owner apologized.

"Didn't come out of the stall? But the old fairy is here in the stall, I can't be mistaken. Xiao Cui and Tang Xu looked at each other.

"There was no stall in Xia yesterday, but the stall was borrowed, and I don't know if it is still here." The stall owner said again.

"Someone borrowed your stall?" Tang Xu asked him, but Liu Shenxian has always done his own thing, and what he did was a little unexpected. He intuitively thought that Xiao Cui said that the old fairy was Mr. Liu, but it was not a fortune calculation, if it was borrowed from someone else's stall, it would make sense.

"Yes, yesterday before dawn, someone came to my house and said that they wanted to rent this stall, and gave me some money, I was already a little uncomfortable, but now I can rest and make money, so I promised him." The stall owner became suspicious when he spoke, and told Tang Xu that the stall was lent to someone else, and if that person made a mess, he was completely unaware.

"What does that man look like? But an old gentleman? Tang Xu asked again. Well, it's an old gentleman. The stall owner nodded.

"But why did you just say that you hadn't seen an old gentleman here?" Xiao Cui was a little angry and felt that the stall owner was going around in circles.

"I don't know if the old gentleman really put the stall here or if there is a stall, so I don't dare to agree casually." The stall owner replied. Tang Xu was speechless, this is the legendary dead brain?

"But the surname is Liu?" Tang Xu asked again.

"I don't know, he didn't say." The stall owner replied to him.

"It seems that it is the old gentleman you met yesterday, but I don't know if it is the Liu Shenxian I have seen before." Tang Xu felt that the old gentleman didn't even tell the stall owner his surname, and there should be no result if he asked again.

"Where is the old gentleman now?" Xiaocui said.

"I don't know this, the person who borrowed the stall and returned it was the man who came to the door in person, I haven't seen him around here for many years, he is a fresh face." The stall owner replied.

"It's a pity, I want to thank him." Xiao Cui sighed.

"Okay, I'm sorry to excuse me." Tang Xu said and took out some money to the stall owner and was about to take Xiaocui away, but was stopped by the stall owner.
