Chapter Ninety-Five: Killing Thousands of Miles Away
After Zhao Yan returned to the courtyard outside the city that afternoon, he locked himself in the room and didn't even eat dinner, which made Cao Ying, Princess Bao'an, and Princess Shoukang very worried, and finally the three of them discussed it and decided to let Cao Ying go in to have a look, after all, husband and wife are one, and Zhao Yan shouldn't hide anything from her.
Knowing that Zhao Yan didn't eat dinner, Cao Ying personally cooked a bowl of porridge, and then fried two side dishes, and then came to Zhao Yan's room with a tray, at this time it was already the beginning of the lights, when Cao Ying entered Zhao Yan's room, but now Zhao Yan was seriously drawing something in front of the desk, with a trace of sadness in his focused expression, which made Cao Ying feel distressed in her eyes, since marrying Zhao Yan, she saw her husband show a sad expression for the first time.
"Husband, take a rest, and paint after dinner!" Cao Ying gently put the food in her hand on the table and said softly, she knew that Zhao Yan was in a very bad mood after coming back today, the little bean sprouts came in to serve, but he drove them out, and the eyeless little meat Ding inadvertently broke in, and soon escaped with a wail, which made the entire palace tremble a little.
"Wait a minute, it'll be done in a minute!" Zhao Yan replied without raising his head at this time, and at the same time, the charcoal in his hand also drew faster, which made Cao Ying feel a little curious, I don't know what Zhao Yan is painting and is so attentive?
Thinking of this, Cao Ying gently went to the desk, but when she saw the painting on the drawing paper, she opened her mouth wide in surprise. I saw a somewhat terrifying picture painted on the drawing paper in front of Zhao Yan, and in a sea of fire, there were countless neat vats. There are two kinds of plants growing in the vat, which look somewhat familiar. But most of them are distorted and deformed under the scorching fire, in the very middle of the picture. A goosebump eunuch pounced on a large vat, although his body was full of flames, but he still protected the plants under him, and his cloudy eyes were full of determination, making people have no doubt that even if he died, he would not let the fire hurt the plants under him.
"Husband, what are you painting, and who is the old eunuch on the painting?" Cao Ying asked very strangely and softly, she had also seen many of Zhao Yan's paintings during this time. In general, Zhao Yan likes to paint beautiful girls, or small animals such as small meat cubes, and rarely paints some portraits of men, let alone old eunuchs like the one in today's painting.
Zhao Yan did not answer Cao Ying's question immediately, but carefully painted the last cluster of flames on the portrait, then put down the charcoal pen and sighed: "This person on the picture is a chamberlain of the palace, and I only had a relationship with him, but I didn't expect that there was a fire in the palace last night, and this Cui chamberlain also died in the fire......"
Zhao Yan said. told Cui Neishi's life experience, as well as today's entry into the palace, Cao Ying knew about corn and sweet potatoes, but when she heard that Cui Neishou wanted to leave a seedling for the high-yield crop of sweet potato. actually protected each other, and when she was still tightly hugged on the vat after death, Cao Ying couldn't help but cry.
"I knew that was the case. I should have let Cui Nei know in the first place, except for the palace. I also have corn and sweet potatoes here, so he doesn't have to give up the chance to escape and desperately protect the sweet potato seedlings. Maybe you can escape. Zhao Yan finally regretted it. In fact, Zhao Yan's self-blame now is very unreasonable, the doors and windows of the main hall are locked from the outside, even if Cui Neishou is bent on escaping, I am afraid it is impossible to escape, otherwise the little eunuchs by the doors and windows will not die.
Cao Ying also knew that Cui Neishi's death had nothing to do with Zhao Yan, but she didn't say it clearly, but comforted Zhao Yan a few words, and then she thought of one more thing, and wiped her tears in shock: "Husband, since someone has spent so much money to destroy the corn and sweet potatoes, isn't the corn and sweet potatoes you planted in Old Suma dangerous?" ”
Regarding Cao Ying's worries, Zhao Yan waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, when my father sent someone to inform me today, he had already sent someone to protect Lao Suma's yard, I heard that there are hundreds of forbidden army guards, and they take turns staring at it for twelve hours a day, and there will definitely be no more problems, and only half of the corn and sweet potatoes I planted are left, and the remaining half was dug up by Huang Wude's guy, and I don't know where to hide and plant?" ”
When Cao Ying heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, those people even did not hesitate to set a fire in the palace in order to destroy the corn and sweet potatoes, if they knew that there were also corn and sweet potatoes in the courtyard, I am afraid that they would not know what would happen?
"Husband, things have passed, although Cui Neishou didn't know that you still had corn and sweet potatoes here, but he tried his best to save a sweet potato seedling, which is also a well-deserved death for him, and it is precisely because of this that those of us who are alive can't live up to Cui Neishi's efforts, so Fujun still thinks about how to promote corn and sweet potatoes in the future, so that everyone in the world can remember the merits of Fujun and Cui Neishou and others!" Cao Ying persuaded again at this time.
However, Zhao Yan shook his head when he heard this, and his face suddenly revealed a little murderous aura: "I don't need to be concerned about promoting corn and sweet potatoes, it's a matter of my father and the ministers of the court, I'm just a cautious county king, whoever provokes me, then I will have to return it a thousand times over, what about the Liao State Mission?" As long as I find out who gave the order, I will make his life worse than death, so as to pay tribute to the spirits of Cui Nei and the others! ”
"Husband, you must not be willful, although the Liao State Mission is very suspicious, but now we don't have any evidence, not to mention that the Liao State has always been used to being strong against the Great Song Dynasty, and threatens with force at every turn, so in the end, even if it is determined that it is the Liao State Mission who secretly did it, but the court is afraid that it will only be a big thing to make a small one, if the husband you do it privately, it is likely to cause trouble for the court!" Cao Ying was also startled when she heard Zhao Yan's last words, and hurriedly opened her mouth to persuade.
"Hehe, don't worry, if I do it, not only will I not cause trouble for myself, but I will also not cause trouble for Da Song, you must know that medical skills can not only be used to save people, but can also be used to kill people!" Zhao Yan said with a sneer. After coming to the Great Song Dynasty, most of his medical skills were wasted, but with the advanced medical knowledge he brought from later generations, it was not too difficult to kill a person without causing trouble.
Hearing that Zhao Yan was going to use medical skills to kill people, Cao Ying did not doubt Zhao Yan's ability, but her face still showed a little hesitation, and finally she finally opened her mouth to persuade: "Husband, although I am not a real doctor, but my grandfather often warned me back then, medical skills are used to save people, and you can't use medical skills to harm people at any time, otherwise you will definitely be punished by God in the future, husband, you ......."
"Punishing evil is to promote goodness, although medical skills are used to save people, but also depending on the situation, such as saving a heinous person, it will definitely make more kind people suffer, so although my medical skills can save people, but it will also kill people, but lady, don't worry, this time it was the other party who provoked us first, and more than 50 lives were destroyed in the hands of the other party, if such a person does not die, it is really intolerable!" Zhao Yan interrupted Cao Ying's words.
He will not follow the ancient tradition that medical skills are only used to save people, because he is not a doctor in the first place, not to mention that the hospitals in later generations are darker than the other, and the flesh of patients is also more ruthless than the other, if there is really retribution, I am afraid that those black-hearted doctors should have died a long time ago.
Seeing Zhao Yan's resolute attitude, Cao Ying couldn't say anything, after all, this time it was indeed the Liao State that bullied people too much, and even a good-tempered person like Fujun was angered, thinking about the unbelievable medical theories that Zhao Yan inadvertently revealed, Cao Ying absolutely believed that Zhao Yan had the means to kill people invisibly, and it was estimated that the mastermind behind the scenes was also in danger this time.
At this time, the food brought by Cao Ying was almost cold, Cao Ying hurriedly urged Zhao Yan to eat, Zhao Yan just took the opportunity to paint a portrait of Cui Neishi, and vented the depression in his chest, especially after making up his mind to avenge Cui Neishou and others, so that he finally got rid of his grief and anger, and at this time he also felt hungry, and he was not polite at the moment, so he picked up the porridge and drank it, and now today's meals are particularly delicious, and when he learned that these meals were actually made by Cao Ying himself, Zhao Yan praised it even more.
After Zhao Yan finished eating the food, Cao Ying was also in a happy mood and asked the little bean sprouts to pack up her things, while she herself stayed to chat with Zhao Yan, after all, Zhao Yan was in a bad mood today, and the matter of corn and sweet potatoes could only be told to her, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang didn't know about it at all, so Cao Ying naturally wanted to accompany Zhao Yan for a while.
However, it was also on this opportunity that Cao Ying was very curious to inquire about what medical skills Zhao Yan wanted to use to retaliate against the mastermind behind the scenes, so when chatting, she began to inquire about this matter from the side, but unfortunately Zhao Yan's tone was very strict, and every time Cao Ying asked, he would use the excuse to fork aside, and it seemed that he was not willing to tell Cao Ying in advance.
"Hmph, don't talk about it, the medical skills that can kill people must be some unsightly means, and I'm not rare!" Cao Ying inquired several times but didn't get the answer she wanted, and snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction at the moment.
"Haha, it's true that it's a little unsightly, but it can kill people thousands of miles away, and you'll know it then!" Zhao Yan said with a smile, killing people is much easier than saving people, but some methods are too cruel, so it's better not to let Cao Ying know.
Although Cao Ying believed in Zhao Yan's ability very much, when she heard the phrase "killing people thousands of miles away", she still couldn't help but doubt: "What big words is my husband talking about, how can someone really kill people thousands of miles away?" Even if my grandfather and his old man are called living immortals by the world, I'm afraid they don't have such ability! ”
Seeing that Cao Ying didn't believe it, Zhao Yan didn't explain, but instead changed the topic and asked: "Lady, during this time, I often heard you mention your grandfather to others, and everyone said that he was a living immortal, but I don't know what he is called an old man?" (To be continued!)
ps: Cao Ying's grandfather has mentioned many times in the previous chapters, you can guess who the other party is, and remind me that this person is a household name in later generations.
