This is also a helpless thing, Cui Xiang is already a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, how can he change his teeth, and his two teeth have been completely shattered, and it is impossible to grow them again.

But there is no numbness boiling at this time, and a little pain is inevitable.

By the time everything was cleared, Cui Xiang was already trembling, the cold sweat was soaked by the quilt under him, and the whole person was paralyzed on the bed without any energy at all, and his face was pale.

On the side, the two little eunuchs who were waiting hurriedly came up to wipe their sweat and serve.

The old man washed his hands, and then rinsed Cui Xiang's mouth with traditional Chinese medicine, which can be regarded as disinfecting, and said with a smile: "The little one just pulled out your broken teeth and rinsed your mouth, then clean up the dirty things, Husband Cui, your injury can be regarded as stable." Remember that you can't eat today, even if you drink water, you can only drink water, and you can't get a little tea in it, and when the poison is gone, the bleeding has stopped, the wound is retracted, and the small one will be inlaid with dentures for you. In the future, these dentures will be replaced a little often, but they are the same as now, and they will not hinder it. ”

The development of oral disease technology in China is quite fast, and it is also very early, Ming Ji Xue Ji's "Oral and Dental Essentials", a detailed record of the history of the use of traditional Chinese medicine to treat oral diseases, in addition to mentioning dental prosthesis. Dentures of this era were generally carved from walnut wood, and then fixed with metal wire in the missing parts of the teeth, which was the earliest method of dental prosthesis.

Cui Xiang nodded, but he wanted to speak, but he felt a pain in his heart, so he had to wave his hand. motioned for a little eunuch to send Lang Zhong out.

He has a very high status in the Yongwang Mansion, although he is not as good as the official officials of the palace - this is naturally not comparable. The long history of the palace is a dignified five grades, and he is such a eunuch. But he doesn't even have a grade, but as the eunuch of His Royal Highness King Yong, he is enough to be on an equal footing with Changshi, and with the status before him, he is faintly the second person in King Yong's Mansion. Therefore, the place where he lives is also luxurious, with high-quality furniture and an independent small courtyard, he likes to be quiet every day, except for King Yong. No one is allowed to break into this place.

The little eunuch waited for him to take a bath, changed into a refreshing dress, changed the quilt, and lay on the bed to recuperate, covering his cheeks from time to time and sighing.

It's just that when the pain receded and reason returned, the faint uneasy feeling in his heart became heavier and heavier.

He thought about the time he went to the ruined temple yesterday until he returned to the palace. There have never been any flaws and loopholes, and I haven't found anyone else watching! How could there be a problem? What's the problem?

In fact, there are not a few people like him, who are always suspicious, and if they develop in the future. The benign one is called the super sixth sense, and if it is malignant, it is called obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Cui Xiang thought about it a few times. Suddenly, I realized where the problem was—the Huitong Hall!

It stands to reason that Xiao An should have already done it a long time ago, but why. Over there, there's no movement coming out of the hall?

Could it be that something happened after Xiao An went back? So no hands-on?

Or maybe Xiao An did it, but was discovered?

It doesn't make sense, no matter which of the above situations, there is always some wind and grass coming out! The people who were planted around the hall did not reciprocate.

Cui Xiang thought of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he got up and planned to go to the ruined temple in the north of the city, he was not worried about the location of the place being leaked, after all, they were newly moved over, and Xiao An was implicated there, even the ambassador who arranged him into the guild hall didn't know.

If Xiao An is fine, he will definitely find a way to contact him there tonight, if something happens, everything will naturally be over, and Cui Xiang will not be a pity, after all, this person is just a chess piece in his hand.

One piece is useless, and another one is enough.

He immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and went out in the name of buying some silk, and the carriage rolled and stopped at a silk village in the north of the city.

The palace knows that this silk village is actually Cui's husband's industry, it is said that in the back house, there are two very good-looking little girls waiting, Cui's husband has seven or eight days out of ten days is there, presumably licking the plate and touching his legs every day, but it is comfortable and tight! Many people in the palace are very malicious speculation, how bad it is for you to occupy two water spirit girls, and you can't plow this ox if you have two pieces of fertile land, so let's go and plow for you when you have time!

The coachman laughed obscenely and drove back.

After entering the silk Zhuangzi, the shopkeeper was taking stock of today's income, and when he saw Cui Xiang coming, he hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

After a tea time, when Cui Xiang came out of the back door of the satin Zhuangzi, it was already time to change his clothes, wearing a black cotton jacket and a cotton hat, and walked slowly on the road, looking like a sick ghost with a weak body.

He was also quite vigilant, and walked near the mass grave, but he was not busy going in, but wandered around for a while, and saw that there was nothing unusual, and saw the smoke rising above the ruined temple, so he put his mind at ease and walked slowly towards that side.

But when he walked in front of the ruined temple, his face changed, because on the threshold of the temple, there was a large area of blood that had not yet dried.

Cui Xiang also realized that something was wrong, and immediately turned around and ran.

But it's too late.

On his way here, a few men dressed as ordinary people suddenly flashed out, blocking Cui Xiang's way, but Cui Xiang knew that they were definitely not ordinary people, at least ordinary people, it was impossible for them to appear in the mass graves for no reason.

Many books often mention that eunuchs often have a very strong kung fu, in fact, this possibility is really not too big, as the saying goes, the poor are rich in martial arts, and the practice of Guy is a sport that requires a lot of energy and physical strength, and requires a lot of nutrients to supplement the body, not only to eat more. And eat well. Like a eunuch, after being cut off from that place. The general yin energy is heavy and the yang energy is in short supply. The body is weak, and if you want to practice martial arts, it is really not easy. There may be people who are eunuchs but have martial arts, but they are definitely not Cui Xiang.

But he was also a person who had gone through a big battle, so he also stopped and said in a cold voice: "Who are you?" ”

The man at the head smiled and said, "Cui Xiang, Master Cui, Cui's husband, there is someone." I want to see you. ”

"See me?" When Cui Xiang heard the person opposite mention his name, he immediately knew that his deeds had been revealed, but he was such a scheming person, so he immediately sneered and said, "What are you?" Now that you know who I am, why don't you get out of the way? offended His Royal Highness King Yong, did Sha Mo want to behead the whole family? ”

But what made his heart tighten was that the person opposite was not afraid when he heard these words.

He immediately realized that they were behind. There must be a great dependence!

Then I immediately thought to myself, where did they come from? Could it be that they have already figured out my roots? Did the people behind them have the strength and status to show off the chariots and horses with His Royal Highness King Yong?

Then at this time, he heard a graceful and elegant voice behind him: "Cui Xiang." It's me who wants to see you! ”

Cui Xiang instinctively turned around, and then saw a young man in a gorgeous costume, looking at him with a faint smile.

"You are. Wu Yibo? Lian Zining? Cui Xiang looked at him deadly, and suddenly said in a difficult voice.

This time it was Lian Zining's turn to be surprised. But he didn't expect that he had never met him. He was able to call his name as soon as they met. But he didn't know that Cui Xiang was also an extremely thoughtful person, and he was even more hearted, and he had already obtained the portraits of important figures such as high-ranking officials and relatives in the DPRK through various channels, and often observed that he could be named by the big and small officials in the DPRK, and even some feudal officials.

When he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Lian Zining, Cui Xiang felt that something seemed to be wrong.

He still knows a little about Lian Zining, knowing that this person is young and ambitious, he climbed up from the bottom step by step, and now he is in a high position, he is a very terrifying character, and then he contacted many Wu Yijun in the guild hall, he immediately thought that what must be the handle that Lian Zining caught.

Lian Zining looked at him with a smile: "Master Cui, it's freezing outside, why don't we go in and talk." ”

Cui Xiang didn't want to go in with him, but Lian Zining just turned around and said two words: "Xiao An!" ”

Cui Xiang seemed to have been enchanted, the whole person was stunned at first, and then his face turned blue and white, gritted his teeth, and followed Lian Zining in.

In this dilapidated temple, it is still so dilapidated, and it also exudes a smell of filth and dirt, after Cui Xiang came in, he became a doctor, and the door behind him was closed, but Cui Xiang was not afraid. He is also a person who has seen big storms and waves, so he is naturally quite courageous, and he also knows that if Lian Zining wants to kill himself, there is no need to be so troublesome.

He took a look, and there were a few men standing in this room who looked very strong at a glance, but those nameless whites were all missing.

But no matter how stupid people are, they can think that those nameless whites are afraid that they are already finished.

Lian Zining was already sitting down on the brocade pier in front of the statue, and he waved his hand, signaling for Cui Xiang to take one too.

Cui Xiang did not refuse, and sat down with a big grin.

Lian Zining smiled slightly: "Lord Cui is so courageous. ”

Cui Xiang's low and hoarse voice was like the hissing voice of a poisonous snake: "Wu Yibo, if you have anything to say, you just say it, and you don't need to waste your mouthpiece." ”

He was making a tentative speech, after all, he didn't know how much evidence Lian Zining had in his heart.

Lian Zining was really good, and immediately got straight to the point and said: "Master Cui, this time Lian Mou quietly returned to Beijing because he missed his family, but he didn't expect that it was just the right time. Xiao An intended to set fire to the murder, and his deeds were discovered by the soldiers under the command of the official, but you don't need to worry, he committed suicide by poisoning before he was caught. ”

Cui Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still ugly tight.

"However, those people under the official's hands are not vegetarians, and they have found out here. The nameless white here is not very forbidden, and he has already confessed it, Xiao An is behind your back. Oh no, it should be His Royal Highness King Yong. ”

Cui Xiang said coldly: "What do you want?" ”

"It's easy! Help the official pass a letter to His Royal Highness King Yong. Lian Zining beckoned, and Wang Posan stepped forward and handed the letter to Cui Xiang. Lian Zining smiled gently: "In this letter, there are some requirements. Of course, Master Cui can also open it himself to see what is inside. King Yong only needs to do this for his own official. Then the evidence will naturally rot in the stomach, and these witnesses will never appear here again, if they can't do it. ”

Lian Zining said lightly: "This official is in the court, and he still has some connections, so let people send these evidence to the emperor." Presumably, His Royal Highness the Blessed King and the Holy Lord are very angry about this matter! ”

Cui Xiang's eyes stared at Lian Zining viciously, as if he wanted to engrave his face in the depths of his soul.

He stood up and hissed, "This matter." It's going to be done! ”

After that, he walked out of this ruined temple.

This sentence made Lian Zining realize that he was afraid that Cui Xiang's status in the Yongwang faction was higher than he imagined.

When Cui Xiang left the mass grave, he looked back and saw that smoke and flames were already rising above the ruined temple, and in a blink of an eye. It is to devour it.

A chill ran through his heart.

—————————— dividing lines————————

"Smack!"

There was a crisp sound, it was the sound of a slap on the face.

King Yong's slap, Cui Xiang's face.

This slap was extremely heavy. Cui Xiang's whole head was crooked, and two newly set dentures flew out with a good tooth, which was mixed with a lot of blood foam.

on his face. An obvious red slap print appeared in an instant.

If it was placed in the past, even if King Yong slapped Cui Xiang like this. Cui Xiang must have turned his face immediately, but now. But he knelt upright, staring at the ground, and didn't say a word.

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and another ruthless heart-warming kick kicked Cui Xiang's heart, it can be seen that King Yong really took out the strength to kick him to death, Cui Xiang kicked him and rolled on the ground twice, he was also a ruthless man, he got up with a bone, wiped the blood on the side of his mouth, and knelt straight in front of King Yong.

King Yong's face was flushed, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, his whole body was trembling, obviously he was already angry, he pointed his finger at Cui Xiang: "Without Lone's consent, you dare to use the power of Feiyu privately, and it's such a big deal!" You idiot, do you know how much the old man values this? Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you in this matter? Do you know how much trouble it will cause once it is exposed! This is to be beheaded by the whole family, and it is necessary to be an accomplice to rebel! Fuck you! You fucking fucking screwed up! You piece of waste, and you have been caught, and now it's good, and you've turned around and threatened us! How many times have I told you, you can't provoke this, you can't provoke, are your fucking ears ornamental? ”

King Yong could no longer care about maintaining the demeanor and majesty of the former prince, and a steady stream of curses and vicious words smashed towards Cui Xiang, like a shrew scolding the street, even more ugly and vicious than that.

"Setting fire to the guild hall? Homicide? It's ridiculous, how do you figure it out? You're really, you're really...... I'll fuck you! ”

King Yong's angry lips trembled for a while, and he couldn't speak, he suddenly picked up a piece of high-grade Duan Yan on the table, and slammed it on the ground: "You dog, you are really reckless!" In your eyes, is there still me as a master? ”

Duan Yan smashed on the ground, and sharp shards slashed across Cui Xiang's face, filling it with several dazzling blood marks.

"Look at it! Look! What is this Lian Zining mentioning in his heart? If it weren't for you, how would we be in such a situation? Yes? You say! ”

The last sentence was almost a roar, and it was also a shame that this was a secret room in King Yong's residence, all of which were built with high-quality materials, even if the sound was loud, it could not be transmitted outside, and there were guards of King Yong's henchmen outside, so it was not safe to leak secrets.

Cui Xiang pursed his lips and knelt on the ground, his face was cold, and he didn't say a word.

He has served King Yong for so many years, so he naturally knows King Yong's temper and knows that he is so angry, not because of the conditions put forward by Lian Zining, but most of it is because of his reckless behavior in this matter, and in this matter, he is at a loss. There is no way to refute, you can only admit and scold. Let King Yong be angry. Anyway, the two of them are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and King Yong can't really do anything to himself.

After a while. Seeing that King Yong was tired from the fight, and he had lost his temper when he scolded, Cui Xiang said in a low voice: "Your Highness, this time it was indeed my mistake, I have nothing to say." ”

"You!"

King Yong raised his hand, but after all, he did not fall, seeing that Cui Xiang, who was so unruly in the past, was allowed to be beaten and scolded today, and he also knew that this was a gesture he made, and he was indeed making amends. And now I still have to rely on him, I can't tear my face, and I shouldn't be too good.

King Yong's eyes flashed with a fierce color: "I still need you this despicable dog now, so I will let you have three points for the time being, and when you are useless, this king will let you live and not die!" ”

"That's it, get up!" He sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Today's business." Even if it is exposed, it will not be done in the future. ”

Cui Xiang nodded heavily: "I remember." ”

King Yong shook the letter in his hand and said, "Have you seen it? ”

Cui Xiang shook his head.

King Yong handed it to him, and Cui Yu looked at it carefully. A little puzzled: "What is this Lian Zining's intention?" ”

"I'm afraid I just want to be promoted." King Yong said lightly: "Is this also human nature, being an official." Who wouldn't want to be a bigger official? What's more, this Lian Zining is not the kind of person who has wasted his fame, and the merits of others themselves. Earn face, want to climb up. What's wrong with that? In fact, the thing he begged for was not that difficult, and for this king, it was only a finger, but ......"

Cui Xiang took over the conversation and said gloomily: "But he dares to blackmail us, he is really a heinous person who deserves to be killed!" Let him be proud today, and in the future, this debt must be recovered! ”

"That's not what I mean." King Yong shook his head and said: "Lian Zining has a heavy army, and he is the respect of his uncle, he can be called one of the most powerful among the nobles of the country, and the other nobles are all deep-rooted figures who are rooted in the country, and it is not easy to win them over." He is different, this person is young, ambitious, and has a shallow foundation, he wants to climb up, and he also needs someone to help him, so that he can be wooed, Cui Xiang, you look for an opportunity to meet him, and come out with a little bit of wind. ”

Cui Xiang was quite reluctant in his heart, but King Yong glared at him, he sighed in his heart, and he could only respond.

———————— Dividing Line————————

On February 21, the 53rd year of Zhengde, the envoys of the Jin State and the Northeast Khan Dynasty paid a pilgrimage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Since it is the highest specification, the most solemn pilgrimage, for the time, place, rules, naturally there are strict regulations, the location does not need to be said, it is naturally the great palace of Liyue, which is also the most advantageous place in the entire Ming Dynasty, as for the specifications, with the cramming teachings of the past few days, it is finally let these foreign barbarians know some of the etiquette of the heavenly kingdom, proficient and dare not say, but at least it will not be ugly.

And time, it's a bit harsh.

The time of the Hajj is set is the time when the sun rises and shines on the earth, to put it bluntly, at nine o'clock in the morning.

At this time, it was just three o'clock in the morning, and King Fu, Dong Qichang, Su Jimo and other officials of all sizes came to the hall with a guard of honor of more than 5,000 people to pick up those distinguished guests.

A group of thousands of people lit torches, like a huge fire dragon, out of the north gate of the capital, and headed in the direction of Liyue.

The distance from Yue to the capital is continuous, and the team is equipped with horses, even those Han generals who have always walked and carried flags and holding golden melons are no exception, and they are afraid that the spring rain and snow will melt and the roads will be muddy and delay today's trip - if the time is missed, it will be a huge joke! In the past two days, 100,000 people were conscripted, and the road leading from the capital to Liyue was padded with thick loess and straw to ensure that the speed of traffic on it would not be affected.

Rao is like this, when this huge team arrived at the periphery of Liyue, it was already dawn and the sun was rising.

It seems to know that today is the day of great joy that the Ming Dynasty has not seen for decades, that is, the heavens are also beautiful, the sky is clear, the blue sky is floating with wisps of clouds, like a white ribbon, the blue is dazzling, at a glance, it is to give people a clean after washing, and the fresh feeling of cleansing the soul. The sun is also scorching and brilliant, and even gives people a slightly dry and hot feeling. (To be continued.) )
