XVI. Hibernation
After neatly eliminating the Assassins, he mounted his horse and headed north. And the man in black who escaped from the dense forest also went back day and night to report. Unexpectedly, he did not return to Jiankang, but went through Jingzhou.
At this time, Liu Yilong, the assassin of Jingzhou, was resting in bed. He is the third brother of the current saint, the king of Yidu of the Liu Song Dynasty. Speaking of this Yidu King, everyone will unconsciously show regret. When he was young, he was well-versed in history, good at writing, and very good at strategy, but unfortunately he was frail and sickly since he was a child, and his mother came from a humble background, so that Liu Yilong has not been valued by the former emperor Liu Yu. So without waiting for him to weaken the crown, he was sent to Jingzhou, away from Jiankang.
At this time, Liu Yilong, the king of Yidu, was practicing calligraphy in the study, and he heard the housekeeper of the palace report outside the door, "His Royal Highness the King of the County, the traveling Doctor Wang has returned, and he specially came to ask His Highness for a pulse." ”
When Liu Yilong heard this, his eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing a trace of undetectable joy. He put down the pen knife in his hand, turned to the outer room and answered, "Please come in." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a long-robed healer in his fifties enter the room. He bowed his head and folded his arms, and respectfully bowed to Liu Yilong, "Your Highness." ”
Liu Yilong's tense face made people look angry and angry, and waved his hand, "Get up." This king's illness is not cured in a day or two, so you don't have to be so anxious. ”
Dr. Wang smiled and replied, "It is the duty of a doctor to save the dead and help the wounded. If you can cure His Highness's illness one day earlier, it will also fulfill the heart of the old man and doctor one day earlier, and I hope that His Highness will be fulfilled. ”
His words were extremely tactful, and Liu Yilong didn't say anything more, closing his sleeves and exposing his wrists.
The servants who had been waiting in the house all withdrew with amusement, and the last one gently closed the door. As soon as the door was closed, two guards came over and stood outside the door, looking like they couldn't open it. This is the rule in His Royal Highness's house, and no one is allowed to enter during Dr. Wang's consultation.
After everyone withdrew, Liu Yilong smiled and asked, "Doctor Wang's trip this time, have you gained anything?" ”
Dr. Wang, who was diagnosing the pulse, raised his head, his eyes flashed, where did he look like an old man over fifty years old? I saw him take out a white silk handkerchief from his arms and put it on the table.
When Liu Yilong saw it, he unfolded the veil, but the bread inside was not a rare object, but a copper coin. At first glance, there is nothing unusual, but if you look closely, you will soon notice that the copper coin has black blood spots on it.
"The person she sent was recognized by her?" Liu Yilong twisted the copper coin and rubbed it, his face was cloudy.
"Yes. As His Highness expected, she also guessed that it was an assassin sent by the emperor. ”
Liu Yilong smiled coldly, "Even if she's a little smart." It's just that she doesn't know the imperial brother well enough," he said with a feeling of helplessness, "The emperor has even forgotten the early dynasty, how can he still remember her?" ”
When Dr. Wang heard this, he was silent.
Liu Yilong seemed to be out of his mind for a while, and then threw the copper coin in his hand back into the white silk handkerchief, "With your skills, can you kill her?" ”
"I don't know."
Liu Yilong raised his eyebrows and looked at Dr. Wang playfully, "I don't know? But you've been slacking off lately? ”
Dr. Wang's voice suddenly changed, as if it were a young man's voice, and he replied in a somewhat mysterious manner, "Yes or no." ”
Liu Yilong was interested, "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"According to my observation, Tan Zhaoyu's martial arts are by no means just a domineering internal force, she is close to the ultimate realm of internal and external integration."
After Dr. Wang replied so speciously, he said nothing more about it. At this time, not only did his voice change, but even his attitude of speaking was no longer respectful.
I saw him staggering to the table and sat down, picked up the pen and ink that the servant had already prepared, and wrote the recipe decently, and said as he wrote, "Your Highness, you have a stagnation in your body, you need to find a few girls to dredge it well, there are a few newcomers in Yingyue Building today, the old man will write a recipe for you, you will send someone to get it today!" ”
Liu Yilong was so angry by his nonsense that he was happy, "When did you start studying medical science?" ”
Dr. Wang laughed teasingly, "Your symptoms can be seen even if you don't understand medical science!" ”
Liu Yilong flicked the sleeves of his robe and pretended to reprimand, "I don't know what to say!" ”
Doctor Wang didn't give up, "If you go on like this, the Liu family's incense is worrying!" ”
Liu Yilong sank his face and snorted lightly, "The most worrying thing about the Liu family is the heir......
Doctor Wang heard his voice and inquired, "Xu Xianzhi's old fox seems to be very unstable recently, staring at the second prince, but the second prince has really had a close relationship with Xie Lingyun, Yan Yanzhi, and Hui Lin. Chenjun Xie Shi ......"
Doctor Wang wanted to continue, but was stopped by Liu Yilong raising his hand, "Don't ask too much about these things, so as not to suspect others." I have my own plans. ”
There was a ghostly smile on the corner of Dr. Wang's mouth, how could he see this situation?
On the way back from Qiuchi, he heard that a century-old Qingzhi was found in Jingzhou, Qingzhi is also known as Longzhi, although it is not the top grade of Ganoderma lucidum, but a century-old Zhizhi is also rare. Not sooner, not later, not impartial, just growing up in Jingzhou, it is inevitable that people will not be suspicious. Liu Yilong did not shy away from it, only said that Qingzhi was auspicious from the sky, and sent someone to dedicate the horse to the emperor. I don't know what the emperor will think when he sees him, but do the four ministers in the court think the same as the emperor?
The two sat thoughtfully for a while, and Liu Yilong said coldly, "After all, Doctor Wang is old, you have been holding his acupoint for too long, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it, you should go back and release him earlier." After Liu Yilong finished speaking, he glanced at the "Doctor Wang" beside him, and thought, this guy is not good at practicing kung fu, and he is engaged in some evil ways all day long.
The pretending Doctor Wang "hehe" Yile, clenched his fists and raised his steps, "Then I'll go first, I have an appointment with a beautiful woman today." ”
Liu Yilong nodded, "Tan Yuyu, you send someone to keep an eye on it, don't be discovered by her." ”
The "Doctor Wang" nodded, and as soon as his body moved, he arrived at the door, and was about to open the door to go out, but he heard Liu Yilong behind him whispering, "Yingfeng ......"
"Doctor Wang" obviously didn't expect Liu Yilong to call his real name, so he stopped at the door.
Liu Yilong hesitated for a moment before finding the right wording and said, "Jingzhou City has recently received a lot of complaints from flower thieves, and now the state government and the people have offered rewards for their arrest, so be careful not to get involved." ”
Yingfeng turned his back to Liu Yilong, and his face was full of cynical smiles. With Liu Yilong's temperament, the exit advice is unprecedented, so you should take a favor. So he turned around, resumed Dr. Wang's voice and tone, and said respectfully, "The minister should be careful, thank you for your concern." ”
After speaking, he bowed uprightly, and halfway through the bow seemed to feel really awkward, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”
