Chapter 37: Master's Last Wishes
"What? You repeat! The county lord's body couldn't help but shake.
"I'll ask the county lord to kill us!" Yu Wei said again calmly.
"Are you crazy? As long as you don't pester Brother Xingli anymore, I can let you go! The county lord's eyes widened.
"His Royal Highness the County Lord's request, Yu Wei really can't agree! So let's ask His Royal Highness the County Lord to kill us! Yu Wei said lightly.
"Isn't Lin Mo your best buddy? Do you want Lin Mo's life for your own sake? The county lord looked dazed.
"If I am an ungrateful person, how can His Royal Highness the County Lord appear here with me today?" Yuwei was still expressionless.
"Then if only you agreed to my request! I promised, and I will send Lin Mo back immediately! The county lord's tone softened a lot.
"Your Royal Highness the county lord, don't blame, Yu Wei has never seduced General Xingli, how can you ask Yu Wei to agree?" Yu Wei spread her hands innocently.
"You! How dare you tease the lord of this county! The county lord slapped the stone table hard.
"Yuwei doesn't dare! Yuwei is just telling the truth! "Yuwei is still as calm as water.
"And what are you going to do?" The county lord was a little discouraged.
"What's so hard about that? As long as His Royal Highness the County Lord released Lin Mo, Yu Wei and Lin Mo moved out of the General's Mansion. Yu Wei said coldly.
"Are you serious?" The county lord looked incredulous.
"Seriously, it really can't be real." The corners of Yu Wei's mouth showed a hint of mockery.
"However, if you move out of the General's Mansion, you will definitely be suspicious when Xingli brother comes back, as long as you promise not to see Xingli brother again in the future, I will send Lin Mo back to you!" The county lord was silent for a long time before he replied slowly.
"Okay, I promise you!" Yu Wei looked determined.
"I knew my sister was a smart person!" The county lord smiled like a hibiscus, "Okay, I have to go back to the palace to greet my father!" Lin Mo has also suffered a lot in the past two days, so let's leave this medicinal diet to Lin Mo to eat! After saying that, he left with a curling voice.
"Girl, how can you promise His Royal Highness the county lord to leave the general?" Bai Xi said as he helped Yu Wei to sit down slowly.
"Can I not say yes?" A hint of bitterness appeared on Yuwei's face.
Bai Xi looked at Yu Wei silently, and there was an indescribable sadness in her heart, she was sad for Yu Wei, and even more sad for the general.
The night is still so deep, in a remote courtyard in the general's mansion, two men are sitting in a secret room, you and I are drinking a cup of stuffy wine.
"Do you want to spend the night like this?" The man in white was the first to break the silence.
The man dressed in black on the other side didn't seem to hear it, and he still drank cup after cup.
"Are you trying to drink yourself to death?" The man in white snatched the man's bottle.
The man in black glanced at the man in white, then stretched out his ape arm, took a bottle of wine from under the table and continued to drink.
"I said old man, Lin Modu has already returned, what else do you have to live?" The man in white couldn't help but ask.
The man in black plucked for a moment, then continued to drink.
"I know, you don't feel comfortable letting people rob Lin Mo from under your nose? In that case, why did you watch them take Lin Mo away in the first place? The man in white said angrily.
"Aren't you the same as me!" The man in black glared at him.
"How can I be the same as you? You are in charge of the guards of the General's Palace, and I am only in charge of decoction and porridge. The man in white suddenly regained his composure.
"What about me being in charge of the guards of the General's Palace? What they do is what I want to do, and not only can't I stop them, but I want to thank them! The man in black poured the wine he had just poured down his neck.
"What?" The man in white was taken aback.
"Nothing? Kidnapping Lin Mo and threatening Yuwei is also what I want to do. The man in black said lightly.
"You have always been clean and proud, how can you do such a dirty thing?" The man in white looked puzzled.
"Dirty things? It's better to do dirty things than to let Liyue's family die! The man in black suddenly had a fierce glint in his eyes, "Li Yue was almost killed by His Majesty in order to help His Royal Highness Hong Shizi speak. ”
"This? Is it because of Yuwei? The man in white's face was full of confusion.
The man in black leaned his neck and drank another drink, then stood up, lifted the heavy curtain, and looked out the window at the night.
"His Royal Highness Hong Shizi likes to watch this night the most, do you know why?" The man in black paused.
"That's because the day doesn't belong to him, and from the moment he was born, he can only hide in a dark corner and live carefully." The man in black swallowed another sip of the liquor with difficulty.
"He was my only disciple, and I watched him grow up little by little in a strange place without a trace of love."
"He longs for family affection so much, but since he knows his background, there is only a coldness in his eyes that can no longer melt." The man in black's voice became hoarse.
"He has escaped death from the battlefield again and again, just for the unwarranted responsibility imposed on his shoulders, and he has walked in this world like an ice peak for more than ten years, and no one knows what he thinks? No one can walk into his heart. ”
The man in black turned around, and there seemed to be a trace of tears in his eyes: "But that day, on the day His Majesty wanted to use the mudslide to attack the Erduo tribe, everything changed, although the mudslide failed to bring His Highness the good luck that he had been waiting for for many years, but it sent him a dying girl, you can't imagine how much Your Highness paid for this girl?" He visited the famous doctor everywhere, waited outside the girl's hospital day and night, and when I saw His Highness's increasingly desperate eyes, I recommended you to him, because I knew that only you could save this girl, and only this girl could call His Highness back from the hopeless abyss, and just like that, you came, the girl woke up, and His Highness finally became a man of flesh and blood again. ”
"I knew it was you old guy who made trouble, but I still want to thank you, I've been trying to escape from that place since the pony died, but I didn't expect that it was you who made it to me." The man in white said sincerely.
"What is the use of you whom I have perfected? Ruthless is not as affectionate as bitterness, and an inch is still tens of millions of wisps. His Highness is now living a more miserable life than before! The man in black had a bitter look on his face.
"Aren't you bitter? Haven't you been alone all these years just to protect yourself? The man in white said excitedly.
"Yes! If I hadn't taken the initiative to ask for my life and come to accompany His Royal Highness Hong Shizi, I am afraid you would not have seen me for a long time. The man in black looked gloomy.
"That person is violent and suspicious, and the general who died in her hands may not be able to count them in one hand." The man in white sighed, "But she is still good to you, otherwise the position of the protector general would not have been vacant for so many years." ”
"Protector General? That's just a decoy to kill me, how can a person who doesn't even trust his own loved ones trust me? The man in black laughed to himself.
"Companion is like a tiger, since you have chosen this path, you can only go hard." The man in white said as he drank all the wine from the glass.
"Yes! Back then, we all had great ambitions, scrambling and rushing down the mountain to make contributions, and only left you, who had always liked to be at ease, in the teacher. The man in black looked at the man in white, "But what puzzles me is, how could a figure like you enter the palace?" ”
"That's not to fulfill Master's last wish!" The man in white didn't raise his head.
"Master's last wish?" The man in black looked puzzled.
The man in white nodded, and after a long time, he said slowly: "After you left, the master no longer passed on my martial arts, but handed over his hereditary pharmacopoeia to me. ”
"I wholeheartedly studied the pharmacopoeia with the master, and when the master was confused, it was already successful, and you also knew what happened later, the master asked me to inherit the master in front of you, and handed me a stone box carved from white jade, we all thought that it contained the tokens of the master, in fact, in addition to the tokens, there was also a will of the master." The man in white looked at the man in black with a solemn face.
"It turned out that when the master was a teenager, he had been attacked by a beast, and finally he was seriously injured because of his weak strength, and he was rescued by a noble man at the time of life and death, so after he recovered from his injury, he divided the stone tablet he carried with him in half, and handed half of it to the nobleman, and promised to repay him, but until the master died, the noble man did not look for the master, so the master also put this last wish in the stone box and passed it to me." The man in white took another sip slowly.
"After reading Master's last wish, I didn't take this matter to heart, thinking that it was all decades ago, and this noble man might be as immortal as the master, so I put this matter behind me and lived a comfortable and secluded life."
"I didn't expect this day to come, it was an evening when the snow was falling, I was going to wait for the snow to stop, and then get up again and go to the ice field, because the edelweiss pill I refined still lacked a medicinal guide, and I was eager to find it."
The man in white fell into a deep thought, and he seemed to return to that snowy night more than twenty years ago:
"Master! There's someone out there who wants to see you! As the boy spoke, a young man dressed in turquoise walked in.
"Divine doctor, please come with me immediately!" The young man's face was anxious.
"Who are you? What's the urgency? When he was still confused, the young man took out half of the stone tablet from his pocket and handed it to him, he quickly took it, and quickly went into the inner room, and took out the half of the stone tablet in the stone box for comparison.
When the two stone tablets were seamed together, he picked up the medicine box, put on the outer coat, and followed the young man out of the courtyard without hesitation, and got on the sleigh that had been waiting in front of the door.
The man in white couldn't help but shake his head when he said this.
