Chapter 164: Shane
Although the Great Liang Imperial Court did not attach importance to the military industry, the craftsmen in the Ordnance Division were not perfunctory and incompetent. Zhao Xian has not operated the hammer for several months, and he did it himself under the itchy hand, in the large workshop behind the Ordnance Division, guiding the craftsmen to slowly explore, as the saying goes, there is a lot of strength in people, and when the moon is on the willow tops, the main accessories of the arquebus have also been studied.
When Liu Feiyue came back, she heard that Zhao Xian had sent such a big task to the Ordnance Division, and she was quite interested in finding all the craftsmen who were out there. It's a pity that as Liu Yan'er said, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he knows very little about these things, and he is not as good as his sister, he can only play the piano and make music in the courtyard outside the workshop.
As the saying goes, there is no fat man who eats in one bite, things have to be done slowly, and when the room full of people began to fall asleep, Zhao Xian could only let all the craftsmen go home. In order to make the craftsmen full of enthusiasm tomorrow, Zhao Xian also gave everyone a reward, and even the debts of the old Wang who prostituted the king were paid off, so that a group of craftsmen with meager incomes almost knelt down, and they all wanted to stay and continue to work overtime, Zhao Xian naturally refused, only if he had the spirit to work hard, what if he accidentally blew up the gunpowder with two black circles under his eyes.
Liu Yan'er was not in good health and couldn't stay up late and was sent home early by his brother, Zhao Xian sat alone in the workshop of the Ordnance Division, continued to grope for the parts in his hand by the firelight, and only when he couldn't see clearly did he get out of the Ordnance Division, and instructed the two guards who guarded the door a few words. and Side went back to the Gongfu on the horse.
Whip like rain and ride horses like flying.
Kyoto is especially quiet in the moonlight, except for the muffled 'rattling' of horses' hooves hitting the bluestone floor.
There are few lights in the buildings on the street. In the distance, another faint bell rang out.
Passing by Kaifu Temple, the big black horse slowly stopped. Zhao Xian clenched the reins of the horse and turned his head to look at the heavy and majestic temple, which was still lit with a little firelight, accompanied by the faint moonlight flickering and dimming as if in the smoke, several old monks swept the traces left by visitors in the day at the door, and then closed the Zen door, and only a few pear blossoms were left in front of the door swaying gently in the wind.
The petals fell, the clean ground was clean, and there were a few more white decorations, pure and immaculate. It seems to be the reflection of the stars in the sky.
Side, who had been silent for a long time, took a few steps forward and asked, "Young Master, what are you looking at?" ”
Zhao Xian came back to his senses, looked at the sleepy Side, shook his head and smiled: "Sit calmly for a long time, the flowers are full of leisure, the scenery of this Kaifu Temple is worthy of its name, let's go." ”
The horse galloped quickly, and the two of them also took half an hour. only then did he rush to the Guogong Mansion on the outskirts of the city.
During the mourning period of the first emperor, the white lanterns on the door of the mansion swayed lightly in the wind, and the dim light could not shine far, revealing inexplicable loneliness in this cold and lonely night.
Zhao Xian dismounted and knocked lightly on the copper ring on the vermilion lacquer gate. As soon as there were two 'tong' sounds, and before there was an answer from the door, a white figure stood up in the dark corner of the door.
Black hair up to hips. The white clothes are like snow, and the big night is still at the feet of the sudden popping up. Even pure masters like Zhao Xian were scared enough, and they kicked over with their legs. Fortunately, Side quickly pressed Zhao Xian on the door, frowned at the man in white and said: "Feng Imperial Doctor, you are hiding in the big night to be very scary, if you have something to find my young master, you can go inside and wait, stand outside the door every day for outsiders to see, but my Anfu valet is not thoughtful." ”
Feng Lianxue's face was pale from the cold, dressed in plain color, the hairpin on her forehead was swaying, reflecting the tears in her eyes, and she knelt on the ground with a puff: "Lord Zhao Xian, your great kindness..."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhao Xian immediately became anxious, hurriedly held her to prevent her from kneeling, and said to Side: "Brother Side, you go to rest first." ”
Side was naturally embarrassed to disturb Zhao Xian, so he opened the door and went back to the house to rest.
Zhao Xian looked at her at this time, and said flatteredly: "Feng Imperial Doctor, how can Zhao Mou He De let you make such a big gift?" ”
Feng Lianxue couldn't help but kneel down again when she heard this, and said with tears in her eyes: "The adults helped each other to save the concubine's family, and the concubine had nothing to repay..."
Zhao Xian knew that it was because of this matter, he shook his head and persuaded: "Feng Imperial Doctor, I didn't help you, there is no problem with the medicine slag, I am so that even the widowed Mrs. An will not let go, if I help you, I will definitely let you repay me with a whip and wax, and now I don't even dare to kneel to show that I am weak-hearted, you have to thank you for finding the wrong person, Commander Qian Wen risked his life to suppress the matter for you for one night, and you should be grateful to Dade for finding him." ”
Hearing the meat words of the leather whip dripping wax, Feng Lianxue's cheeks flushed slightly, but she was not as disgusted as last time, and looked at Zhao Xian with emotion: "Zhao Xian Gongzi don't lie to me, the concubine went to the pharmacy to weigh it, Shang Lu lost a few dollars, but the ginseng was not wiped at all, it must be me who was careless and confused the two flavor medicinal materials..."
Speaking of this, her face became hotter and hotter, and she quietly lowered her eyes and said softly: "You saved the concubine's family, and the concubine has nothing to repay, don't say... Don't talk about making a promise with your body, even if you want the life of a concubine, I will admit it. ”
The leather whip drips wax, rape first and then kill, I can't do such a heavy thing if you want to. Zhao Xian looked at her in astonishment for a long time, and finally knew that he couldn't deceive her, so he put away his smile and said a little helplessly: "Miss Feng, you and I are both understanding people, and I am afraid that you will bite me out with a bite, of course, there is also a little bit of the meaning that I don't want you and your cousin two sister flowers to die like this, but that's all, I don't admit that I have my own reason, if you have to go around and publicize it, everyone knows it, I can kill your senior brother Cheng Qing and destroy your mouth, and I won't pity Xiangxiang and keep you." ”
"The concubine knows." Feng Lianxue was not stupid, knowing that Zhao Xian was worried about the suspicion of outsiders, she nodded again and again: "You saved the concubine and the family, and this great concubine must come to thank you in person." However, I came to look for you to say to outsiders that I would like to thank Miss Yijun for taking in Xiaodong for one night, and I have never admitted that there is something wrong with my medicinal materials, so I will not cause you trouble. It's just a pity that Senior Brother Cheng, he is too upright and eccentric, and my father has his own reasons for not handing over Jishitang to him......"
"Alright, alright." Zhao Xian was not in the mood to listen to these parents' shortcomings, let go of her arm and said: "Miss Feng, I said last time that if I can help you, I will help you without taking a penny, but now it's over, if I want you to repay again, wouldn't it be a reversal, thank you and leave, of course, it's okay if you insist on staying to repay me, I'm a good whip and a good candle." ”
Childe laughed. Feng Lianxue couldn't bear this joke, raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Xian who was about to speak, and suddenly found that Zhao Xian's face was a little pale, thinking of Zhao Xian's injury by the knife, she wondered in her heart: Ordinary knife wounds would not make Zhao Xian, who was alive and well, look like this, could it be that he was suffering from other diseases.
Feng Lianxue's occupational disease attacked instantly, grabbed Zhao Xian's wrist and looked at it carefully, and then contemplated.
Zhao Xian himself can also order medical skills, except for the fever, he didn't find any major problems in his body, seeing her solemn face, as if she had really discovered something, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly: "Doctor, can I still be saved?" ”
"It's hard to say..."Feng Lianxue touched his forehead and neck again, and said solemnly: "Have you been injured recently?" ”
"Nonsense." Zhao Xian patted the protruding chest, which was still wrapped in gauze, he was angry and funny, such an obvious thing still needs your pulse.
Feng Lianxue nodded thoughtfully, and said more seriously: "Have you jumped into the unclean lake and river in recent days, stained the wound and not cleaned it in time, occasionally have chest pain and shortness of breath, sweating profusely, and sometimes have spasms?" ”
Zhao Xian's smile slowly froze: "You... What do you mean? ”
Feng Lianxue sighed faintly, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's tetanus, many generals and soldiers have died of this vicious disease due to trauma, you... My lord, what's wrong with you, my lord, don't scare the concubine......"
Zhao Xian has never heard of such a thing as tetanus, which is a serious disease with amputation and paralysis or violent death, and the death rate is almost more than half.
Is there a mistake, just killed a Cheng Qing who died, God doesn't have to punish me like this, I also saved the old and young women and children of the Feng family and the Shangguan family, don't you see?
Zhao Xian hurriedly grabbed Feng Lianxue's shoulder: "Eldest sister, don't be joking, I'm only eighteen, and I won't dare to accept it if I die so early." ”
Feng Lianxue was almost lifted by the excited Zhao Xian, she exclaimed, pushed Zhao Xian's chest, and said shyly: "Don't be nervous, my lord, fortunately, I found it early, the concubine has a way to heal, and it won't let you have an accident." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xian's heart settled a little, untied his uncle's court clothes and said: "Miss Feng, it seems that I owe you a favor again, let's do it, cure it as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to sleep." ”
Tetanus was definitely a life-threatening disease in this era, and Feng Lianxue did not dare to delay, so she entered the carriage she called when she came, took out the medicine box from it, and entered the Guogong Mansion to find a guest room to treat it.
Let Zhao Xian lie down on the bed first, and use the light to untie the gauze on the wound on his chest, fortunately, the doctor who treated Zhao Xian's trauma had already cleaned the wound, and the wound had gradually begun to scab and heal after applying the medicine. However, if you are infected with this disease, it is very troublesome to remove the toxins that have been poured into your body.
She took out the silver needle to take the acupuncture points in the middle and the valley, and then massaged the three passes, penetrated the six intestines, twisted the earlobes, and pinched the middle of the committee. Zhao Xian's heart was relaxed and happy with the skillful massage techniques, but he couldn't move with silver needles stuck all over his body, looking at Feng Lianxue's serious touch, he could start to laugh a few words, but the needle was too long, and he was sleepy, lying in the car with a smaller and smaller voice, and gradually fell asleep.
Seeing that Zhao Xian fell asleep, Feng Lianxue's movements were more gentle, and her eyes were still shining, and she didn't dare to feel the slightest sleepiness, although Zhao Xian's eight-pack abdominal muscles and chest and abdomen made her quite embarrassed, but she didn't dare to think nonsense, and if she missed a mistake, she was implicated in the whole door, and if she hurt her benefactor's life again, she couldn't forgive herself even if she died.
