Chapter 1168: A Thousand Pounds
Chu Huan heard his strange tone and was a little puzzled, but Xin Guiyuan had already sighed lightly and asked, "Yao Weng didn't come with you, presumably he has been killed." ”
Liuli stared at Xin Guiyuan and asked, "It seems that the seniors really know Yao Weng." ”
"He and I have been here for more than 20 years, one bright and one dark, how can we not know each other." Xin Guiyuan said lightly: "Where is he now?" ”
"The medicine man was killed, and when we arrived, he was already dead." Liuli sighed lightly, "We have buried him in the Medicine Valley. ”
Xin Guiyuan also sighed: "In the past twenty years, I have never left the valley, and I have stayed in the valley for the rest of my life." ”
Chu Huan felt more and more strange and asked, "Senior Xin, since you are the minister of Xichang Kingdom, who is the medicine man?" When you say one light and one dark, do you mean that the two of you have been guarding this hidden stone chamber here? ”
"He is the hospital envoy of Xichang Guotai Hospital." Xin Guiyuan sighed.
Chu Huan knew that the so-called envoy was the highest chief of the Tai Hospital, so in this way, the status of the medicine man back then was not small.
Liuli was already surprised: "Envoy? If he was really the envoy of the hospital, his medical skills would naturally be very clever, but his father said ......! ”
Xin Guiyuan let out a strange laugh and said, "There are some things that even your father can't say to you too much. Yao Weng is in the Medicine Valley, so he naturally can't reveal his medical skills too much, just studying medicinal materials, and of course, it is also a cover for his identity. ”
"The predecessor said that my father knew that Yao Weng was proficient in medical skills?" Ruri said in amazement.
Xin Guiyuan smiled: "How could you not know? Liuli, let me ask you, when did your father meet Yaoweng? ”
Liuli frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's just that when I was young, my father took me to Medicine Valley again, and he only said that Yao Weng is a master who is proficient in medicinal materials, and if I know him, I really don't know." ”
Xin Guiyuan sighed: "Of course you still remember that the prince of Shuangyang once suffered from a serious illness, and the hospital was helpless, so he sought medical treatment from the people, and your father applied for the job and was selected, and finally cured the prince of Shuangyang." ”
Chu Huan had just heard Liuli talk about this, and thought to himself that the prince who was healed by Liuli's father was what kind of double sheep prince.
Liuli nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed the case." ”
"Your father actually met Yao Weng at that time." Xin Guiyuan recalled: "Back then, Yao Weng was the first apricot forest master in Xichang Kingdom, commanding hundreds of imperial doctors in Tai Hospital, Shuangyang Wang Ye was sick, and Yao Weng was also helpless, I thought there was no medical solution, but who knew that he was cured by your father with a home remedies." You must understand that although your father has made a contribution, it is a great shame for the Tai Hospital! ”
Ruri was noncommittal and did not speak.
Chu Huan faintly felt that Liuli's father was probably not just a doctor, behind it, there must be another mystery, otherwise this black-clothed god would not have focused on mentioning Liuli's father.
"Originally, many people in the Tai Hospital thought about putting your father to death, and even set up all kinds of traps." The black-clothed god Xin Guiyuan said slowly: "I dare to guarantee that if any kind of trap is implemented, your father will already die and have no place to be buried. ”
Liuli frowned and sighed lightly: "My father was obsessed with medical skills back then, and he just wanted to prove that his medical skills were not incompetent, but he didn't have the heart to compete with the imperial doctors of Tai Hospital. ”
"Others don't understand, but the medicine man does." Xin Guiyuan sighed: "He stopped everyone from wanting to murder your father, just because he felt that your father's medical skills were different and had great merit, not only did he not murder your father's heart, but also wanted to recommend your father to the king to enter the Tai Hospital, but your father did not have a utilitarian heart, and politely rejected the kindness of the medicine man, but because of this, the medicine man greatly appreciated your father's character, and since then, the two have become close friends." ”
Liuli suddenly realized, "I see, it's ......!" ”
Chu Huan frowned and asked, "Since Yao Weng is in the Medicine Valley, he naturally fled here with King Xichang back then?" ”
Xin Guiyuan's eyes immediately showed a chill, and he said in a deep voice: "What did you say?" Escape? Hmph, the hero of King Xichang I, when did you think about escaping? If we hadn't knocked him unconscious and escaped from the secret passage prepared in advance, King Xichang would have been ready to live and die with Shuoquan City. ”
"Secret passage?" Chu Huan was stunned, now that he was in control of Shuoquan, he didn't expect that there was an underground secret passage in Shuoquan, it seemed that the secret passage naturally led directly to the outside of the city, otherwise it would be impossible for the King of Xichang and others to escape from the city.
Xin Guiyuan said lightly: "Back then, the soldiers of the Qin State were strong and strong, and they had long had ambitions for me Xichang, so I naturally had to take precautions, and secretly arranged for someone to dig a secret passage to the outside of the city in the city. ”
Chu Huan felt a chill in his heart, thinking that this person, as the black-clothed god of Xichang Kingdom, was also ruthless.
However, I also think that if the emperors and generals of ancient times were not ruthless, I am afraid it would be difficult to achieve great things, and the kindness of women would be endless troubles.
"At that time, the king of Xichang insisted on coexisting and dying with Shuoquan, and the Qin army was overwhelming, storming Shuoquan, the soldiers and horses in the city suffered heavy losses, and there was a lack of food and water, seeing that the city was about to be broken, I made up my mind to ask the king of Xichang to evacuate Shuoquan City, and leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, as long as the king of Xichang is here, I am not afraid that I will not be able to make a comeback in the future." Xin Guiyuan said slowly: "King Xichang angrily scolded us and insisted on not leaving, I could only work with General Yun to knock out King Xichang, and the group of people left from the underground secret passage." ”
Chu Huan smiled faintly: "Leaving behind the soldiers and people all over the city, the military generals and their monarchs fled quietly, but it is not admirable. ”
Xin Guiyuan glanced at Chu Huan coldly and said, "As long as the King of Xichang keeps it, their blood feud will always have a day of reckoning." ”
Chu Huan just smiled indifferently and didn't argue.
Liuli asked, "After you evacuated from Shuoquan City, you came here?" ”
Xin Guiyuan nodded and said: "Yes, Yao Weng is the envoy of the Tai Hospital, he liked to look for all kinds of medicinal materials alone, and this medicine valley is one of the places he often visits." He looked at the stone chamber and said slowly: "A long time ago, I also knew about this quiet place, although the Qin army had not yet attacked the northwest at that time, but its momentum was already very good, in order to leave a way to retreat, I had long thought that once there was a big change, I would have to retreat here." ”
Chu Huan said with a smile: "The god is worthy of being a god, and it is really cautious to think about the way out." "Thinking in my heart that as the prime minister of a country, I have already thought of a way out before the war, which is really not advisable.
Xin Guiyuan ignored the ridicule in Chu Huan's mouth, and continued: "The most important point in choosing this place is because of this natural cave...... I don't know if it is a natural formation here, or it was artificially excavated in the early years, but before we found it, there were naturally people who used it here, and the first to discover this place was the medicine man, and there was a very secret mechanism stone gate when entering this cave, weighing a thousand catties ......! ”
Chu Huan's heart suddenly came up, thinking that since there was a stone gate, there should be a chance to go out.
As if seeing Chu Huan's thoughts, Xin Guiyuan smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "You don't have to think about that stone gate anymore, the stone gate mechanism has been destroyed, unless you can open the thousand catties of boulders, you don't have to think about going out from there." ”
Chu Huan's heart sank, looked at Liuli, and saw Liuli's expression slightly gloomy.
"The stone chamber here was built by you?" Chu Huan was silent for a moment, and finally asked.
Xin Guiyuan nodded and said: "Yes, since you are preparing to retreat, you will naturally have to make some preparations here, a year before Shuoquan City was broken, this place has been repaired, although it is simple, but it is very secretive, and the enemy will never be found." ”
Chu Huan sighed: "It's really secretive, but since it's so secretive, why did it happen again?" Under the firelight, looking at the piles of dry bones everywhere, "At whose hands did they die?" Raising his hand and pointing at the stone wall, "And Yun Dingtian, who killed him?" ”
Xin Guiyuan's pupils contracted, and his gaze swept over the white bones in the stone room, and his voice was strange: "There are both loyal and commendable warriors and ungrateful brute ...... here!" ”
Chu Huan and Liuli glanced at each other, but saw that Xin Guiyuan had already held it up, and his voice was calm: "Do you know how long King Xichang has been waiting in this cave?" ”
Chu Huan shook his head, Xin Guiyuan raised his hand and raised his fingers, "Two years, in this cave, I have been waiting for two years ......!" ”
"Haven't left this cave for two years?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "How many people were trapped here back then?" ”
"No less than three hundred." Xin Guiyuan said in a deep voice: "In addition to the people of the royal family, there are dozens of officials, and more than two hundred personal guards...... Enough food for three hundred people to eat for a year was stored here......! ”
"A year?" Chu Huanqi said: "Since you have stored food for a year, why have you stayed here for two years?" Where do you get the rest of the year's food? ”
Xin Guiyuan let out a long sigh and said, "It's just because of an unexpected thing that we are trapped here." A year is enough time for the outside to calm down, and we can also send people to leave here and start planning for the revival of Xichang ......! There was a hint of annoyance in his voice: "It's all because of that ...... of the stone gate!" ”
Liuli seemed to understand something, and said softly: "Senior Xin said that there was a problem with the stone gate of the mechanism that can be entered and exited, and you were sealed in it, and you originally planned to hide here for a year, but then because the stone gate was destroyed and you couldn't get out, you were trapped here for two years?" ”
Xin Guiyuan said: "You are really smart, yes, the mechanism of the stone gate, we have already mastered it, the crescent princess likes flowers, so at that time, people will be sent out to pick flowers once a day, on that day, after the flower picker came back, the stone gate opened halfway, but suddenly fell, the flower picker was pressed under the boulder, since then, the stone gate has never been opened......!" At this point, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.
