Ninety-four verses

After Dahan finished saying that he was a bearded guest, he had already lifted the corner of the tent and slipped out silently, but he didn't notice the shocked expression on Xiao Buyi's face.

For a long time after Dahan left, Xiao Buyi was still thinking about the three words "bearded guest". If the three words of Wei Chigong are still very thunderous, the three words of the bearded guest already represent a god man, and they are also related to a myth that has been circulated for thousands of years.

The bearded guest is one of the three heroes of the wind and dust, and there are countless versions about him, but the most popular saying is that he is both civil and military, and he originally had great ambitions to win the world, but because he was ashamed of himself after seeing Li Jing, he was more fond of the woman Red Whisk Girl also liked Li Jing, his career and love were hit, but he was down-minded, and after swearing to Li Jing, the Red Whisk Girl, he left alone after giving his family wealth to Li Jing and his wife. Later, Li Shimin took over the world, but he went to the overseas Fuyu country, killed its lord to stand on his own, monopolized 72 overseas islands, and roared all his life.

Of course, his exploits are not as great as Li Shimin's hegemony, but they are extremely legendary. When Xiao Buyi thought of this, his mood slowly calmed down. He has also read countless people during this time, but in terms of martial arts and heroism alone, the bearded guest is absolutely unique, although Lu Anyou is strong in the mountains, compared to the bearded guest, the shoes are not worthy.

Thinking that he finally went overseas and roared freely, Xiao Buyi sighed in his heart, only such a character has such ability, the world is so big, this person can go to it. Kedun's camp was solid in his Xiao Buyi's eyes, but in the eyes of the bearded guest, it was like paper paste.

Xiao Buyi didn't expect to know this person inadvertently, and he could get his help, so he couldn't help but be very excited, but he was a little puzzled as to why he was enthusiastic about helping him, because how to look at it, although the beard was bold, it was definitely not enthusiastic. At this time, recalling the words and deeds of the bearded guest, Xiao Buyi suddenly realized. He said that there were a few women who liked him, but he only liked one woman, but he gave up for his brother-in-law, it goes without saying that women and brothers-in-law refer to the Red Whisk Girl and Li Jing.

But what are the Red Whisk Girl and Li Jing busy with at this moment? Xiao Buyi pondered and searched for his memories, and gave up for a while. He is very smart and has a good memory, but he has no interest in history, and he is too lazy to look through his memory, so he doesn't know much about China's thousands of years of history. In fact, there are many people like him, everyone is looking for fashion, and who likes to be poor?

In his memory, Li Jing should have made achievements after returning to Li Shimin, and when he was in the Great Sui, he seemed to have been obscure? But if he is unknown, why would the legendary bearded guest feel ashamed of himself after seeing Li Jing? If the shocking ability of the bearded guest is still not as good as Li Jing, then Li Jing is no different from an immortal?

Xiao Buyi thought about it, feeling that he was caught in the mystery of history, and forgot about his own safety for a while. Magbazz's death had nothing to do with him, but he was involved, Han Xue didn't know how it was going, but Ke Dun was lukewarm, he could live, but it was a little difficult to be free, because he had been placed under house arrest invisibly, and he didn't know what Ke Dun wanted to do with him. This time, the bearded guest went out, what can he find, as for finding the murderer, Xiao Buyi is even more bottomless.

Time flies, after casually using some food, Xiao Buyi waited for most of the night, and then fell asleep, I don't know how long it took, suddenly became alert, reached out and pressed the handle of the knife, and slowly opened his eyes.

There was no oil lamp in the felt tent, it was pitch black, and I only knew the middle of the night, but I didn't know what time it was.

There was a figure in front of him, burly, with eyes like copper bells, Xiao Buyi saw this, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, every time he appears, he always wants to scare me and I can't jump?" ”

The bearded guest chuckled in a low voice, obviously afraid that his voice would be heard by outsiders, "Your kid's courage is made by heaven, and it didn't frighten you like that last time, and it seems that it won't work in the future." ”

Xiao Buyi sat up cross-legged, did not light the lamp, his eyes somewhat adapted to the darkness, and when he saw the bearded guest's smile undiminished, his heart moved, "Brother Zhang has obviously gained a lot from this trip. ”

The bearded guest nodded, "Lao Tzu has been running around for a few hours, and I know a little bit of news." Suddenly a little sobered up, and said apologetically: "Lao Tzu is my mantra, not that I am disrespectful to you, brother." ”

"Actually, I sometimes call myself Lao Tzu." Xiao Buyi couldn't help laughing.

The bearded guest also laughed, "I like people who do it with their surnames." ”

With a slight groan, the bearded guest seemed to want to sort out his thoughts, and Xiao Buyi was not impatient, just waited quietly.

"You said that you are very dangerous now, and you are under house arrest invisibly, for fear that it will affect me, but in fact, it is not difficult for you to come out of here." The bearded man suddenly said, "If you don't want to stay here, I can take you out." ”

Xiao Buyi shook his head for a while and said: "Brother Zhang is very grateful, and I also know that Brother Zhang has such a ability." However, Meng Chenxue is here, and I am a member of the Pei family's caravan, and now that I am in a place of suspicion, if I leave rashly, it will probably cause Ke Dun's anger, and I am afraid it will be detrimental to the caravan and Han Xue. ”

"But it seems that there is a lot of danger here, you only think about others, aren't you afraid of dying here for no reason?" The bearded guest's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Of course I'm afraid." Xiao Buyi smiled: "But sometimes, I'm afraid I have to do it, it's a big deal for me to be careful." ”

The bearded guest looked at Xiao Buyi thoughtfully, and finally nodded, "Since you don't want to go out with me, I have a way for you to go out openly." ”

Xiao Buyi was overjoyed and asked, "I don't know what Brother Zhang's plan is?" ”

The bearded guest smiled and waved his hand, "You listen to me tell you the news from the inquiry first, and then it's not too late to make a decision." ”

"I made my first stop at Kedun's, and finally understood why Magbaz's poisoning had caught Kedun's attention, and asked you for the reason myself." The bearded man smiled, "Because there is another person who has also been poisoned, and it is exactly the same sign as Magbazz." ”

Xiao Buyi's heart froze, "Who is it?" ”

"Tucker of the servant bones, that is, the husband that Chrissy is going to marry." The bearded guest said slowly: "It turns out that Kedun came here to marry a daughter, but Tucker was poisoned and unconscious, so this matter was delayed. ”

Xiao Buyi knew that Lu Anyou had the news that Ke Dun's marriage was postponed, it turned out that this was the case, Tucker heard Han Xue say that it was the title of the chief's son, "What is the purpose of the murderer?" I don't know Tucker, how can you poison him and then poison me? ”

The bearded guest also frowned, "This is indeed a confusing thing, and I don't understand it." I eavesdropped on Kedun's conversation and realized that when she saw the son of the Servant Chief, she had always thought that Tucker had a strange disease, but suddenly Magbazz had the same condition, and it was only then that she knew that Tucker had been poisoned. The murderer wanted to kill you, but he didn't know that in doing so, he leaked the details, and in my opinion, it was really unwise to poison you. ”

Xiao Buyi was also frowning, always feeling that things were not so simple, but he couldn't figure it out, "The middle of the month has passed, so the auspicious time has passed, why does Kedun stay here, and she has to marry her daughter, is she very important to the servant Tucker?" ”

The bearded guest smiled: "Princess Yicheng, this woman is very powerful, and she is also majestic outside the Saiwai, plus she is shrewd, and there are some tribes attached to her outside the Saiwai, of course, this marriage is to win over the servant clan." ”

Xiao Buyi finally asked his puzzlement, "Brother Zhang, no matter how strong Ke Dun is, after all, she is a woman, and a woman outside the Seychelles is like a cow and a horse, and her status is not high, how can she have such power?" ”

The bearded guest shook his head and said, "Although most of the women outside the Seychelles have a lowly status, she is a very different woman. When Emperor Wen was in power, she had already arrived in the Turks to marry the Qimin Khan, and she brought an extremely heavy dowry. In addition to money, she also brought some old ministers and guards who volunteered to follow her, so that when she first arrived in the Turks, she was already quite powerful. Qimin Khan was born with a gentle surname and was not good at disputes, so many things in the clan were handled by Princess Yicheng, and she handled things fairly, so that many tribes respected her very much. After the death of Qimin, Shibi Khan was ambitious, but several brothers were eyeing the position of Khan, if it weren't for Princess Yicheng to support Shibi, maybe who would be the Khan. Princess Yicheng is extremely loyal to the Sui family, and cultivates her own power by supporting Shibi Khan, and now she is no different from the princes in the grassland. Although Shibi Khan was the Khan of the Eastern Turks, and the Treqi bones were all attached, he could not easily interfere in the internal affairs of other tribes. Princess Yicheng is ostensibly the wife of Shibi Khan, but she also has her own tribe and place of residence. In this way, Shibi Khan only respects her on the surface, but in his heart he has scruples, but on the one hand, he is grateful, and on the other hand, Kedun is also powerful, so the current relationship is delicate. ”

Xiao Buyi finally understood the relationship here, and couldn't help but be relieved, Xin Dao felt that Ke Dun was not simple when she was in the cowhide tent, and it seemed that she was even more powerful than she imagined.

"In order to win over the Servant Bone clan, Kedun did not hesitate to marry his daughter, but this is also a good thing for her daughter, at least as far as I know, Tucker of the Servant Bone is very prestigious in the Servant Bones. Although we don't know who poisoned it, we don't know that this person probably doesn't want the two forces to marry. The bearded man said in a deep voice, "So it's really strange that after the murderer poisoned you, it was self-defeating for Kedun to find out that Tucker was poisoned." ”

Xiao Buyi racked his brains and couldn't figure it out, only Mo Ran, who didn't want the two forces to marry, and couldn't guess who he was.

The bearded guest continued, "This matter is put aside for the time being, I can't understand any of the three questions you raised, and I am even more confused after knowing that Tucker of the servant bone has been poisoned." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly, and the bearded guest said what he thought. The bearded guest continued: "Then I went to see Kristag and your companion, that person's name is Han Xue?" It seems that she is also a Tag of the Mengchen tribe? ”

Xiao Buyi was stunned, "It seems to be." ”

Only then did he realize that the bearded guest was really capable, and he inadvertently inquired about many things, and even Han Xue knew which clan he was. Han Xue is also a tag, he has never thought of this before, but presumably the tag is also large and low, and Han Xue's tag is really insignificant compared to Chrissy.

"Brother Xiao, you are really blessed." The bearded man said suddenly.

Xiao Buyi was inexplicable, "What does Brother Zhang mean by this?" ”

The bearded man said slowly: "Actually, even if you can argue skillfully, you wouldn't have walked out of Kedun's cowhide tent so easily, I listened to Chrissy and Meng Chenxue and knew that Meng Chenxue vouched for Kedun with his net worth and surname, you are definitely not the murderer who poisoned Magbaz, Kedun made people put you under house arrest, waiting for the truth to be found out." ”

Xiao Buyi's chest was hot, and he was inexplicably moved. He knew that if Han Xue wanted to save his clan, he had to ask Wen Yuzhou for help, and he couldn't help her or harm her. He always silently did what he could for Han Xue, except for that night, Han Xue Xie rarely said anything, but how could he have thought that Han Xue could not have his surname for him.

The bearded guest looked at Xiao Buyi with a smile, although it was in the dark, his eyes were full of wisdom, "After I roughly understood the whole story, I went to see Tucker who was a servant non-stop, but fortunately, they were not far away, so I could rush back tonight." ”

Xiao Buyi's blood surged into his chest, and only then did he understand why the bearded guest could be recited through the ages, such heroes, for the sake of friends who only saw two sides, they did not hesitate to rush, but this kind of mind made people's hearts break. When his heart was broken, Xiao Buyi was a little ashamed, the bearded guest seemed to be running around all night, but he didn't do anything, just sleeping.

"Brother Zhang worked hard for me, Buyi doesn't know how to repay me, but what are you doing when you go to see Tucker of the servant?"

The bearded guest still smiled, "I said, I like a man like you from the bottom of my heart, and it's nothing to do this." Besides, I was also very curious about this matter, so I looked it up. I went to see Tucker mainly to see his condition and help him take his pulse. ”

Xiao Buyiqi said: "Brother Zhang can also heal? "Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people to take Tucker's pulse, and if the bearded guest wants to take his pulse, Tucker can't listen to him. Xiao Buyi didn't ask much about the process, but knew that the bearded guest always had his own solution.

The bearded man shook his head, "I don't have any medical skills, I just check his pulse to see his qi and blood." His blood is vain, yin and yang are separated, and if the medicine is not right, he won't last long. I went to see Magbaz again, and found that the pathology seemed to be a poison. ”

Xiao Buyi smacked his tongue secretly, and said in his heart, you are not a medical skill, so what is? Suddenly remembered something, "Brother Zhang, I see that Magbaz has just taken poison and is already dying, Tucker must have been sick for a long time, how can he still be alive?" ”

The bearded guest said, "Tucker is Kedun's son-in-law, and of course others will do everything they can to keep his surname alive." He hanged his life with old mountain ginseng, which has the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing yin, and can also somewhat inhibit some poisonous surnames. Although Magbaz took poison later, the old ginseng was extremely valuable, and he couldn't exchange it for gold, and he was an ordinary person who didn't have the old ginseng to hang himself, but he was afraid that he would die earlier than Tucker. ”

Xiao Buyi felt the humility of life in his heart, and suddenly thought of something, "Brother Zhang specially said their symptoms, check the symptoms, do you have any ideas, or can you cure them?" ”

"I can see life and death, but I can't heal life and death." The bearded man laughed, "My life has an end, and there is no end to knowledge. Even if you are a genius, you can't be proficient in everything. You see what I'm talking about is the Tao, but it's just from the perspective of martial arts, qi and blood, although medicine and martial arts are connected, but after all, I am still a lot worse, and I won't want to be proficient. ”

Xiao Buyi pondered the meaning of the bearded guest's words, his words were shallow and profound, and he sighed in his heart, the bearded guest was arrogant and compelling, and his martial arts were strong, so he thought he was an arrogant and uninhibited person. However, he talks calmly and gently, which makes people feel more unfathomable the more they get in touch. Now from Xiao Buyi's point of view, the profundity of the bearded guest is definitely not just martial arts! He sometimes speaks upside down, but when he does things, he is clear and unusually organized, and he is thoughtful and unmistakable, he says that Xiao Buyi is very smart, but Xiao Buyi thinks that the bearded guest is smarter!

But even if two smart people are together, they are confused, is this matter really unsolvable? When Xiao Buyi thought of this, he didn't know what to feel in his heart.

Seeing that Xiao Buyi's face was somewhat disappointed, the bearded guest smiled and said: "Now I will tell you the cause and effect, and tell you a way to go out openly, but this method is unpredictable, but the choice is yours." ”

Xiao Buyi's spirits perked up, "Brother Zhang, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"You're under house arrest only because Magbazz was poisoned, and it involves the servant Tucker," the bearded guest said lightly, "but if you heal these two, you will surely make Koldun look at them differently." Not to mention the caravan's current difficulties, even Meng Chenxue's crisis may be able to be solved in one go. ”

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly, "What Brother Zhang said is right, but my skills are low, and I can't heal horses, how can I heal the two?" ”

The bearded guest stretched out his palm, and there was a porcelain bottle on it, "There are two pills here, just fill them with water and take them, one pill for one person." Although I found out their pathology, I didn't dare to guarantee that this medicine would save my life, because this medicine was not from my own hands, and I was born in martial arts, not a miracle doctor, so I only felt that this medicine could be slightly right for the symptoms. You can give it a try, but I warn you that they are alive, and you will only get some reward, but if they take this medicine and die, you will be furious, and your life will be in danger. ”

Xiao Buyi was stunned for a while, and then asked, "How sure do you think this medicine will cure them?" ”

The bearded guest thought for a moment and hesitated, "It's about fifty percent." ”

Xiao Buyi secretly said that this was the same as not saying, gritted his teeth, and still took the porcelain bottle, "Magbaz is on the line of life and death, it's always good to try, as for money and rewards, it's not that important." ”

"But if he dies without medicine, it has nothing to do with you. He died of eating your medicine, and the responsibility lies with you. The bearded guest stared at Xiao Buyi's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Do you really think that other people's lives and deaths are more important than your life and death?" ”

Xiao Buyi said slowly: "If I didn't know that there was a chance, it would be fine, but since I knew, how could I see Magbaz die without helping." Brother Zhang, I decided to let Magbaz try this medicine first, and life and death will be resolved. ”

The bearded guest smiled indifferently, stood up, and patted Xiao Buyi's shoulder, "Brother Xiao is simple and simple, and has few selfish desires, he is really a member of my generation. Destiny is up to heaven, human life is in you, I'm going to deal with some things, and I'll see if you're still alive in a few days. ”

He said that he would leave, and disappeared in an instant, if it weren't for the porcelain vase in Xiao Buyi's hand, he almost thought it was a dream.

When Xiao Buyi stayed up until the early morning, he couldn't hold it anymore, opened the porcelain bottle and looked at it, and there were indeed two pills in it, the color was dark, and there was no so-called pungent aroma, but there was a spicy strange smell, and his confidence in the five successful results couldn't help but be discounted again.

Looking at the porcelain vase over and over again, I saw that the pattern on it was still fine, and my fingers touched the bottom of the porcelain vase, as if there were convex marks, and my heart moved, and I turned around and took a look, and found that there was a Sun character at the bottom of the bottle.

The bearded guest's surname is Zhang, so this bottle of medicine was actually given to the bearded guest by someone else? Xiao Buyi couldn't understand why the bearded man was strong in martial arts, and he had so many healing pills on his body, and the bottle of knife wound medicine was much easier to use than Bei Pei's hand, although Bei Pei's knife wound medicine was also very good.

I couldn't figure out a lot of things, Xiao Buyisuo didn't want to, stood up and put the porcelain bottle in his arms, and walked out of the felt tent.

The bearded guest could come and go freely, but he did not have the ability, so he opened the curtain, and the two soldiers were already holding spears and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Buyi wants to ask to see Ke Dun, I hope you can report it." Xiao Buyi arched his hand to accompany the smiling face, feeling worried.

The two soldiers looked at each other, but did not sneer. The person who can let Tutun bring the toilet over, even if he is a sinner, should not be easily offended, because he may turn over when he will turn over.

"Wait, I'll ask Tutun." A soldier hurried away, leaving a guard behind.

After a short effort, Yang Tutun had already come over with a dead sheep's face, looked at Xiao Buyi and said, "What are you asking to see Ke Dun?" ”

"It's hard to say here, but it has something to do with Magbaz." Xiao Buyi had already thought of the wording, but he was afraid that he would not be able to see Ke Dun easily.

Sure enough, Yang Tutun shook his head and said, "Xiao Buyi, who do you think you are?" But does Khedun say that he will see it? ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "In Xia Buyi, it is just a matter of Magbaz's surname, and I can only risk death to see Ke Dun." ”

Yang Tutun was slightly moved, "What do you mean by that?" ”

If it weren't for the bearded guest to explain the cause and effect, Xiao Buyi would probably not be able to understand the meaning of Yang Tutun's expression at the moment, but now he knew that Yang Tutun's move was just for Tucker, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad for Magbaz.

"Buyi is shallow, I don't know if Magbaz has been poisoned?" Xiao Buyi was like a mirror in his heart, but he still asked humbly, he had already thought of a way last night, but he was not impatient.

Yang Tutun snorted coldly, "Do you know?" ”

Xiao Buyi restrained his smile and said sincerely: "I don't know what kind of treatment is available now?" ”

Yang Tutun looked at him for a long time, and then shook his head and said, "No, I see that his breath is weak, and it is estimated that he will not live long." ”

Xiao Buyi showed concern, "If there is really no cure, there is a way to try it." ”

Yang Tutun's eyes moved, and he said in a deep voice: "What method?" ”

Xiao Buyi bent down to pull his trouser legs, and the two soldiers stepped forward, their spears against his sides, and shouted, "What are you going to do?" ”
