Volume 1 Chapter 11: Take a gamble
Murong Xingcheng took off the face towel on his face, put it to his nose and sniffed it.
This is! Grass towel!
Murong Xingcheng was so excited that he almost exclaimed.
She had only seen a hundred grass towels in medical books before, but she didn't expect to see it today.
It is rumored that a hundred grass towels can detoxify a hundred poisons, but the process of refining a hundred grass towels is also very difficult.
It needs to be soaked in 100 kinds of precious herbs for 9981 days, and then placed in the greenhouse and smoked by the poisonous herbs for a full three days to make a 100 grass towel.
Once the towel is taken out and used, as long as it exceeds three days, the effect will be completely lost.
Many people want to do it, but they are powerless, because the medicinal materials used to make the baicao towel are too precious, and a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs cannot be made without one.
Moreover, it is also costly, and can only be used for three days, so it has become a rarity.
Originally, when Xiao Lingnuo gave it to her, she wanted to ask, but Xiao Lingnuo was in a hurry, so she had to hurriedly put it on and followed.
It's just that Xiao Lingnuo asked her to wear this grass towel, what does it mean?
Don't... The haze she saw when she came out was actually poison gas?
Murong Xingcheng covered his mouth and exclaimed.
Is this the trap formation that Xiao Bo said?
Oh my God, she thought it was just a heavy haze, but she didn't expect it to be poisonous gas, if Xiao Lingnuo didn't give her a hundred grass towels, wouldn't she be dead?
Murong Xingcheng subconsciously touched her neck, fortunately Xiao Lingnuo gave her a hundred grass towels, otherwise her life would really be in danger.
Yihui heard the movement in the car and asked, "What happened?" Girl. ”
"It's okay, it's just that I've been in Zhuhaze Valley for a long time, and I can't help but sigh when I see the scenery on this road so beautiful." Murong Xingcheng replied.
Yihui didn't suspect too much, just drove the carriage.
Murong Xingcheng put away the grass towel, such a precious thing can't be lost.
She suddenly remembered that Xiao Lingnuo didn't wear a hundred grass towels when she came out, and she was still like no one.
What's going on here? Is this poison gas useless to him?
Murong Xingcheng pondered, and then heard Yi Hui say, "It's here." ”
The carriage stopped in front of an inn, Murong Xingcheng lifted the curtain, and the plaque hanging high read 'Yunming Pavilion' with three big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.
The edge of the plaque is still gilded, which looks particularly atmospheric.
The shopkeeper hurriedly walked out to greet him, and Xiao Er took a small stool and put it in front of the carriage.
Murong Xing got out of the car with her skirt, and her water-blue sleeved skirt swayed slightly with her steps, like ripples of water, which was extremely good-looking.
In addition, her face is like a peach blossom and her skin is like snow, which makes the people on the street look good.
"The master has already arranged everything for the girl, and if you need anything, you can tell the shopkeeper." Yihui took out a money bag: "This is for the girl by the master." ”
Murong Xing took it, opened the bag and took a look, and found that it was full of silver and silver tickets, enough to buy this inn.
"I'm sorry for you to pay it back to Xiao Gongzi, I owe him enough, I can't take this anymore."
Murong Xingcheng gave the money bag back to Yihui, and Yihui took a step back.
waved his hand and said: "I don't dare to take it, the master said, if I take it, I will chop off my hand." ”
After hearing this, Murong Xing scolded Xiao Lingnuo in his heart.
She just thought that Xiao Lingnuo was not as indifferent as she imagined, but now Yihui said that if she didn't accept the money, Xiao Lingnuo would chop off his hand.
This made the slightest hint of her good impression of Xiao Lingnuo just now, but it was instantly extinguished.
However, her jade pendant was given to Xiao Lingnuo, and she didn't have anything of value on her, so it was still a little difficult to live here in a short period of time.
It's better to take the money first, then she will research the market, and then do some business to earn the money back to Xiao Lingnuo.
Thinking about it like this, Murong Xingcheng also accepted the money generously.
"The master also said that the girl can stay as long as she wants, and she can leave at any time if she wants to leave."
The sound was not loud or small, and they stood in front of the door again, and everyone inside and outside the inn heard it.
Those people cast surprised glances, and Murong Xingcheng couldn't understand why they looked at him like this.
Yihui left after explaining to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and the waiter in Haidilao was compared, which made her uncomfortable for a while.
Maybe it's because Xiao Lingnuo has taken care of everything and the money is in place.
Xiao Er took her to the room, put down her things and exited.
There was a set of blue and white porcelain tea sets on the desk, and a pot of clouds and mist was hot next to it.
There is a pot of begonias on the left shelf, the stamens are red and bright, like rouge, and the breeze blows the fragrance, which makes people slightly drunk.
Murong Xing leaned on the windowsill, holding his face and looking at the people coming and going on the street, the traffic was busy, and it was so lively.
It's much better than the big city she's lived in for more than 20 years.
Although technology and medicine are not as developed here, they are more calming.
After dinner, Murong Xingcheng inquired from Xiao Er and briefly learned some things about Yunxun City.
"Does little brother know about the Murong family?" Murong Xingcheng asked as he ate the pastry that Xiao Er brought.
Xiao Er's hand making tea paused: "Then I must know, the Murong family is also one of the best families in our Yunxun City, plus Murong Gongzi is now a general, and the status of the Murong family in Tianyue Country has reached a higher level." ”
"Murong Gongzi?" Murong Xingcheng picked up the teacup and blew on the foam and asked.
"It is the eldest son of the Murong family, I heard that the prince of Murong is handsome and upright. At the age of twenty-three, he already made great achievements in war, becoming the youngest general in the dynasty, and Murong Gongzi is not yet married, many big families want to marry their daughters, so I don't know whose girl has this good fortune. ”
Saying that, Xiao Er also showed envious eyes, if he was a daughter, he would also want to marry someone like Murong Xingyu.
Murong Xingcheng took a sip of tea, but he didn't expect that after so many years, Murong Xingyu would become a general.
The last time the original owner saw him was five years ago, and he had the impression that although Murong Xingyu was her half-brother, he was very good to her.
I'm afraid that in addition to Bai Su in the entire Murong family, only Murong Xingyu is sincere to her.
"yes." Murong Xing promised: "I heard that Murong Gongzi also has a sister who is five years younger, and she is also beautiful and delicate." ”
"My five-year-old sister?" Xiao Er scratched his head, "The girl is talking about Miss Murong Ximeng, the girl may have remembered that Miss Murong is seven years old." ”
Murong Xingcheng put down the teacup, it seems that outsiders only know Murong Xingmeng, but they don't know her eldest daughter.
Also, Murong Su has been throwing their mother and daughter into the broken courtyard for ten years, and he has never let them leave Murong Mansion, how could others know about her.
Xiao Er's mouth was almost done, and Murong Xingcheng let him leave.
She pulled out a dagger from under her pillow, which she had bought from the shop next door in the afternoon.
Murong Su should already know about her leaving the valley, he sent people to kill him three times and twice, so there must be something on her that no one else can find out.
Now that she came out safely, Murong Su would definitely send someone again, and now that she didn't have Xiao Lingnuo's protection, she had to take precautions.
It's not that she didn't think about staying in Bamboo Haze Valley, so that she could avoid Murong Su's pursuit.
But Xiao Lingnuo is a person who is suspicious by nature and can't tolerate sand in his eyes, even if she tells the truth and takes refuge in Xiao Lingnuo, but she is Murong Su's daughter, Xiao Lingnuo will never believe her.
With his practice of killing a hundred by mistake rather than letting go of one, he was afraid that he would give her a sword.
She may also face danger to her life when she goes out of the valley, but she is willing to gamble, and it is still useful to bet on Murong Su to ask her.
