Volume 3 Chapter 53 The Past Floats Like a Cloud of Smoke

Are you willing to become a disciple of Shennongtang?

From his heart, Zhan Xiu is naturally willing, otherwise he would not come, but although he has been calling himself a disciple of Shennongtang for this time, if he really wants to be a disciple of Shennongtang and stay at the main altar for a long time, Zhan Xiu really has no preparation for this, the purpose of coming here is to participate in the test, and there are more urgent things waiting for him to do later.

Zhan Xiu didn't know how to answer, and when the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion saw this, he spoke again, only to see his expression return to the indifference that Zhan Xiu saw at the beginning, and said: "I understand, there is another reason why you came here, I didn't ask about this matter."

Then he sneered lightly: "It seems that your father arranged for you to come here, and let out such a big rumor recently, what you ask for is not small!" "

Zhan Xiu was shocked when he heard this, and raised his head to look at the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion Master with an inquiring gaze, not understanding what he meant by this.

Seeing Zhan Xiu's gaze, the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion Master seemed to be a little surprised and slightly self-deprecating: "It seems that your father hasn't told you my identity yet, otherwise you wouldn't have been so surprised if you knew what I said."

Zhan Xiu was shocked again, secretly thinking that the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion and his father Ji Chang had known each other before, so he bowed down and humbly asked the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion for advice: "Please also ask the Pavilion Master for advice."

At this time, the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion squinted his eyes slightly, and a look like a memory appeared on his face, and only after a long time did he continue: "I don't know if your father told you that he was chased and killed by robbers back then, and was rescued by others? ”

Zhan Xiu hurriedly nodded and said: "I heard my father mention this, the family was able to escape their lives back then, thanks to a certain senior in Shennongtang."

In fact, I heard my father Ji Chang say that it was the hall master of Shennong Hall who rescued him that day, what does this have to do with the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion? Of course, at this time, the face of the real Pharmacopoeia Pavilion Master was not embarrassed to say it directly.

The master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion pinched his chin, nodded and said: "Yes, it was the current hall master of Shennong Hall who rescued your father back then, and I am the hall master's brother, and I also did it at that time."

Climb relatives? But looking at the appearance of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion Master, he doesn't look like a person who wants to get any benefits after climbing relatives, not to mention that he has no benefits to give the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion Master.

Therefore, Zhan Xiu was really surprised when he heard this, since the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion said this, then if it was he who saved the lives of his family back then, of course he had to express his life-saving grace.

So Zhan Xiu leaned over and was about to thank him, but the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion stretched out his hand and stopped Zhan Xiu, and said indifferently: "You don't have to thank me, in fact, I am here to kill you, I am the gang of robbers"

"Huh?" , this time Zhan Xiu's heart is really a bit upside down!

The master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion looked at his usual indifferent posture, and it seemed that he didn't have many words, but today Zhan Xiu found that it was not what he usually saw, on the contrary, he was very talkative, and he talked to Zhan Xiu in great detail about the events of the year.

It turned out that the real identity of the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion was actually a palace guard of the Son of Heaven Emperor Yi at that time, when Xi Bohou left Chaoge, Di Yi didn't know where to get the news, someone reminded him that Xi Bohou This person will be a big threat to the world of the Shang Dynasty in the future, and it is advisable to eradicate it as soon as possible.

Emperor Yi of the Son of Heaven listened to these words, but as the Son of Heaven, it was naturally inconvenient to slaughter the ministers at will for no reason, so he simply came up with a plan and asked his guards to pretend to be robbers and assassinate them on the way back to Xiqi when Xibo Hou Jichang returned to Xiqi, so that no one knew that it was the minister killed by the Son of Heaven.

So, it happened that today's Pharmacopoeia Pavilion master, that is, the guards of the year, received this order, and the Son of Heaven Emperor Yi asked him to lead the team to assassinate Xi Bohou, and he must pretend to be a robber, so that no one can find out that it was the hands of the guards of the Son of Heaven, of course, Di Yi did not tell him the reason for killing Xi Bohou, which was only later heard by the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion master.

Unexpectedly, after this matter was inadvertently revealed to his sworn brother who was a small military attache in the court, his brother strongly objected, and the brother said that he had dealt with Xibohou, and in his brother's opinion, Ji Chang was quite talented, and his reputation was far away, and he was a rare good official in the court, and he should not die in the assassination plot.

The two of them argued for a long time about this matter, but as the guards of the Son of Heaven, they naturally had to carry out the order, so the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion insisted on completing the task despite his brother's opposition that day, so he and several guards followed Xibohou's convoy all the way, preparing to seize the opportunity to attack in a remote place.

Finally had a chance, and the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion Master was halfway through the move, but what they didn't expect was that his sworn brother appeared. It turned out that after failing to convince this brother that day, the elder brother of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion Master had been secretly following him, and came out to destroy it when they were about to do it.

His brother was an errand boy in the army, and he was extraordinary, and he hacked to death several guards who killed the coachman and others in one face, and the master of the pharmacopoeia pavilion had no way to do it if he wanted to, even if he finally killed Xi Bohou, but the guards who came out to carry out the order could not go back to him alone, otherwise there would be no impermeable wall in the world, and this matter would be stabbed out sooner or later.

At that time, if Di Yi knew about this, he would definitely be killed, and there was a high chance that such a confidential mission would be killed afterwards.

So, seeing that the assassination of Xibohou could not be done, the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion had no choice but to finally listen to his brother's persuasion, and no longer returned to Chaoge to resume his life, and after killing other guards, he simply abandoned the official with his brother, and since then he has been incognito and joined Shennongtang.

Many years later, his brother became the master of the Shennong Hall, and he himself became the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion.

It's just that after the two of them carefully investigated the reason, they learned the ins and outs of Di Yi's intention to kill Xibohou, and learned that Xibohou might rebel.

However, after knowing this reason, the opinion of the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion and his sworn brother is also different, after all, the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion used to be the guard of the Son of Heaven, and his loyalty is much higher, so he naturally feels that the Xixiang Hou is rebellious, and the Shennong Hall Master feels that the opposite is the opposite, and the people of Xiqi are much more comfortable than the people of Chaoge, not to mention that Xibohou has never had the intention of rebelling, but he just heard about it.

After so many years, the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion has already seen this matter, and even if Xibohou wants to rebel now, it is no longer as difficult to accept as it was at the beginning, but he is still a little unhappy in his heart.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, those words were really verified, and your father really wanted to rebel!" , The subject of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion said sarcastically and coldly:

"But your father, who has always been low-key, why did he want to show you to the world in a very high-profile manner this time, don't you think it's very strange?"
