As soon as he stepped into the Zhuxuan, Rick smelled a smell of medicine, and it turned out that old Hailuo was boiling medicine in a small stove in a pavilion surrounded by moon cave doors in the Zhuxuan. Old Helo is now dressed in brocade, his face is bright, and he doesn't raise his eyes when he sees Rick, and he looks quite scared. Rick coughed lightly and said loudly to Nuan Ge on the other side of the pavilion: "Sister-in-law, I recently found a better pharmacist and plan to hire him into the mansion. ”
Old Hailuo panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "Lord Earl, you can spare me!" I'm so dizzy that I didn't see you, but if I did, I would have come up and give you a big salute. ”
Rick smiled, leaned in front of him, and whispered, "It's good that you know." However, I heard that you didn't do enough to dispense medicine to those children, did you hide it? I'll have a good check when I have time. ”
Old Hailuo's face changed, and he said with a sneer: "Lord Earl is wise, I do have a better prescription, but I lack two herbs and can't match them, and Bo Yingte's pharmacy can't sell them, so I have to use another prescription instead." ”
Rick originally blamed him, but he didn't expect such a result, he asked Old Hailuo for the prescription, and was going to let Lu Hanxue take a look, maybe she knew where the two medicines were born.
He had just taken the prescription from old Helo, and Farri had already stepped out of the warm pavilion and invited him in. Rick immediately followed her into the warm pavilion.
As soon as you enter the warm pavilion, you can feel that the temperature here is higher than outside. Qin Xin was lying on a comfortable soft couch outside, closing his eyes and recuperating. When he saw Rick come in, he didn't open his eyes. Strange to Rick.
Farri smiled, "Young Master." Are you busy these days? ”
"Busy! Of course busy! Rick made a sweaty motion.
Farri continued to ask, "Where did the young master sleep last night?" ”
Rick didn't think about it and said, "Of course it's my own room." Why are you asking this question? ”
Farri didn't answer and asked, "Is Miss Qiaoqiao gentle?" ”
"What does it matter to me whether she's gentle or not?" Rick asked curiously.
"Someone saw her enter the young master's room last night and never came out again."
It dawned on Rick that Dare to Love Qinxin and Farri had been paying attention to their every move in the mansion, and even knew that Qiaoqiao had entered their room, so they should also know that Qiaoqiao had been kicked out of the room by themselves. Rick looked at Farri's face strangely and asked, "When did Qiaoqiao come into my room, do you know?" ”
Farri bowed, "When it's just getting dark." ”
"Do you know why she came into my room?"
"Then ask Childe himself."
Rick smiled: "She said that in order to repay the favor, she had to make a promise." ”
"You're hooked on her?" This time, it wasn't Farri who spoke, but Qin Xin, who had been closing her eyes and recuperating. She was looking at Rick angrily.
Rick scratched his head, he didn't understand why Qin Xin suddenly cared about him, but he didn't want Qin Xin to misunderstand, so he carefully recounted the situation that night, and finally said: "Qiaoqiao was rescued by me was actually a bureau set up by others, the purpose was to let her enter the Duke's Palace, and I left her in the mansion, also to test whether there were other people's eyeliner in the mansion, especially those newly recruited guards." If you want to send the news you have found. It is likely that we will be in contact with the person who will pick her up in the house, and then we will be able to follow the vine. Clear those eyeliners. ”
Speaking of this, Rick changed his words and said: "Your Majesty asked me to go hunting in the western suburbs with her the day after tomorrow, I came to tell you the news, and Your Majesty allowed me to bring someone with me, if you are interested, you can go together." ”
Qin Xin was not interested in this news, but because she listened to the above explanation, her face was very good. But Farli was very excited about the next news, and clapped her hands and said: "Young master, you are amazing, the slave maid thought that only those important ministers of the court would have the opportunity to go to the western suburbs with His Majesty, and it turned out that the young master also had a share." ”
"You also know about hunting in the western suburbs?" Rick asked, rubbing his nose, confused.
Farri was surprised and said, "Don't the young master know?" Every year in these days, His Majesty will go to the western suburbs to hunt, and the entourage is either an important minister of the imperial court or a meritorious general. ”
Rick didn't expect this to be the case, he thought the queen was going alone, so he asked him to accompany him, he didn't expect so many people to accompany him on the hunt. He couldn't help but regret that he had fallen unjustly outside the imperial study.
At noon on January 29, 2051 in the Lanjiang calendar, at the gate of the tall city of Boyingte, teams of men and horses were passing through Guò from here and entering Boyingte. There were three groups of people who came, and the flags were as follows: the Kingdom of Shuka, the Kingdom of the Skylark, and Pedoni, which were three of the four northern kingdoms. When the team was about to walk on the Queen's Road, it stopped moving in place, because a group of soldiers suddenly appeared in front of them, escorting the Blue Moon Empire's Foreign Minister Vado to this side.
One of the visiting teams of the Shukka Kingdom, the Lark Kingdom, and the Pedoni Kingdom each stepped out of the procession and greeted Vado. Wado squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "On behalf of Her Majesty, the queen of the kingdom, this official welcomes the envoys of the three kingdoms to Boyingte. ”
The envoys of the three kingdoms were obviously dominated by the envoys of the Kingdom of Shuka, and under the gesture of his eyes, the three envoys dismounted, and the envoys of the Kingdom of Shuka said with a rather respectful attitude: "I, the Kingdom of Shuka, am willing to make peace with the empire for eternity, and send an envoy to the south to express my supreme reverence for Her Majesty the Queen." After speaking, he sent someone to hand over the credentials and gift lists, and the Lark Kingdom and Pedoni followed suit one after another. Vado said yes again and again, and was extremely happy. After receiving the national letters and gift lists of the three countries, he invited the envoys of the three countries to get on the horse, and he led them all the way to the guest house specially for receiving foreign envoys. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the whole line walked very slowly, enough for people on both sides of the Queen's Road to see everyone in the line. The envoys of the three kingdoms did not care, but instead had a happy expression on their faces, and from time to time they thanked the people on both sides.
A man wearing a cloak standing in the crowd asked the man next to him: "What is the purpose of the envoys from the Three Kingdoms who are visiting?" ”
The people around him said: "The four northern countries have always worn a pair of pants, and it is better to say that one country is more appropriate than the envoy of the three countries." The purpose of their visit is certainly not simple. ”
The man in the cloak shook his head slightly: "Whether it is the Three Kingdoms or the Four Kingdoms, the bond of their union with each other is interests, and the political and military alliance without interests is just a dead letter." The relations between the four northern countries were far from close enough to wear the same pants. Anyone with a little brains can see that the purpose of the envoys of the three countries is certainly not pure, but the question is where the place is not pure. ”
"Maybe the big war is about to break out, and they come with a snooping heart."
"This is the best, the Blue Moon Country is stormy, and it is suitable for all countries to show their strength."
On January 30, 2051 in the blue frontier calendar, in the western suburbs of the imperial capital, the tents were cloudy, the flags were fluttering, and the annual hunting in the western suburbs began.
Rick's tent is located in the corner of these cloud-like tents. Although he had been specially permitted by the Queen to take part in the hunt in the western suburbs, he had not seen the Queen since the morning.
In this hunt in the western suburbs, he didn't bring Chriss's daughters with him, but only brought Lu Guangtou, Li Huan, Xu Zhenzhen, Akis, Shui Zhuxiu and the eccentric young man Xiaofan, six personal guards, and four phoenix attendants and ten Nymph divine guards who looked more eye-catching.
The weird boy Xiao Fan came out with Rick for the first time, and he seemed extremely active. He, like Ao Ling'er, always couldn't sit still. However, he had his own method of displacement, he went outside for a turn, and when he came back, he was holding a large pile of wooden blocks and stones in his hands, and behind him was Lu Guangtou, who was originally on guard outside.
Rick asked with a smile, "Xiaofan, are you going to install a mechanism?" ”
Xiao Fan shook his short hair and said, "Wrong." These are the materials of engraving. ”
"Carving?" Rick glanced at the mountain of garbage curiously, then looked at Xiao Fan and said seriously, "We're here to hunt, not to catch a fair." ”
"I know." Xiaofan shook his arm and said, "But only in this case, I am in the mood to carve." ”
"You're a guard, not a carver. Do you want me to withhold your salary? ”
Xiaofan sat next to Rick, smiled, and then whispered a few words to Rick, Rick's eyes lit up, and asked, "Really?" ”
Xiaofan nodded. A treacherous expression appeared on Rick's face, and he said, "I think it's fairest to split the account five or five times." ”
Xiao Fan bit his lower lip and said bitterly: "Deal!" ”
As Xiao Fan said to Rick, his carving skills are really ingenious, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that a small piece of wood turned into a lifelike little animal under the carving knife in the blink of an eye, regardless of the body structure, Shen Yun's expression, which is amazing.
Xiao Fan has a pair of dexterous hands, and a delicate carving knife can be ever-changing in his hands, and he can depict everything in the world as he likes. While admiring Xiao Fan's amazing art industry, Rick also began to become interested in Xiao Fan's identity. Why didn't he choose to become an engraver, with his craft, he would make a lot more money than being a guard. The more Rick thought about it, the more confused he became, he wasn't ready to ask, because he knew that even if he asked, he wouldn't get an answer, just like Shui Zhuxiu, Li Huan, and Xu Zhenzhen, Rick also knew almost nothing about them. The identity information they gave him appeared to be untrue on the surface, but even if it was true, it could not be verified in a short period of time. So, Rick simply ignored this, preferring to believe what he saw rather than what others said. This may be his cleverness! At the very least, his lack of in-depth research has brought a group of good hands around him in a short period of time, such as Shui Zhuxiu, Li Huan, and Xu Zhenzhen's skills are quite clever, and the magic of Akis and Xiaofan should not be underestimated. Lu Guangtou is Rick's only trusted personal guard, not because he is a little silly, but because he gives people the impression of being upright. When Rick saw him for the first time, he recognized that he was not the eyeliner that someone else had planted in the mansion, so he accepted this "little brother" on a whim in the Lei Du Mansion.
