Chapter 90: The capital is in distress
Hearing Liu Ji say this, Lu Xiyi was really worried: "Then what should we do?" ”
Liu Ji said: "We try to go out of the post house as little as possible, and as soon as the emperor's decree arrives, we will leave the capital, and we can't stay for a long time." ”
After returning to the inn, Lu Xiyi asked the hall and asked for a place to make wine. Because Liu Ji said that she wanted to return to Liuzhou as soon as possible, she had to hurry up to brew an antidote to the medicinal wine and give it to those guests who were addicted to drinking Yulouchun.
However, there were no tools for making wine in the inn, so Lu Xiyi asked someone to buy steamers, wine barrels, and materials for making wine on the street. However, the formula of that antidote wine can't be leaked to others, and Lu Xiyi has to go out and buy it himself.
"Do you have to go out?" Liu Ji was very worried about Lu Xiyi's safety, if something happened to her, wouldn't she live up to Ah Leng's entrustment to him.
Lu Xiyi deliberately showed a relaxed smile: "Just go out for a while, it should be fine." This recipe was passed on to me by my mother, so I can't tell anyone else. ”
Liu Ji thought for a while: "I'll go out with you!" ”
"Don't." Lu Xiyi was reluctant to make a big move, "The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, can the restaurant owner kidnap me?" By the way, whatever you want to buy, I'll buy it for you. ”
Liu Ji couldn't twist her, so he had to let Lu Xiyi go out alone.
Lu Xiyi carried a Liu Lan'er out of the gate of the post house, glanced left and right, didn't notice anything unusual, and laughed with two dimples: "It's Brother Liu who is worried too much." ”
This kind of wine needs Su Hexiang, but after asking five or six crude medicine shops, there is no Su Hexiang to sell. Don't people in the capital need Su Hexiang?
Walking into a pharmacy again, Lu Xiyi asked, "Boss, do you have Su Hexiang for sale here?" ”
The boss hurriedly shook his head: "No! ”
The boss shook his head a little wider, and Lu Xiyi felt a little strange: "Why don't there be Su Hexiang in the pharmacies in the capital?" ”
The owner of the pharmacy waved his hand: "I don't know!" ”
The more the boss said this, the more Lu Xiyi wanted to know: "Could it be that in the capital, it is illegal to sell Su Hexiang?" ”
"Who said that!" The boss glared, and the green tendons on his neck burst out, "Su Hexiang is an important medicinal material, how can you ban it!" ”
Lu Xiyi was puzzled: "Since it's not a banned drug, why isn't it sold?" ”
The boss saw that Lu Xiyi was very kind, so he sighed: "You are a foreigner, I don't know." Recently, the emperor has paid special attention to health preservation, and the imperial doctor has seen Suhe fragrant wine from the ancient recipe, and drinking a sip every day can reduce libido and make the body light and healthy. So the emperor ordered the doctors of the Tai Hospital to come out to buy Su Hexiang. Su Hexiang was originally a rare medicinal material, and it was not enough for the palace at all. If the emperor knew that I still had the remaining Su Hexiang to sell to you, wouldn't I be guilty of defrauding the king! ”
Lu Xiyi finally knew why Su Hexiang was not sold in various pharmacies, and this was the reason. However, Lu Xiyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice was loud: "Boss, you must still have some hidden, right?" ”
Boss Zhiwu: "I ...... I didn't sell it anymore! So saying, he went inside.
Lu Xiyi followed closely behind, and said, "Boss, I need this medicinal material to save people, you can do it, sell me some!" ”
The boss led her to a small room, which was full of medicinal herbs.
"If I hadn't seen your sincerity, I wouldn't have wanted to sell it to you!"
When Lu Xiyi saw the boss turn around and walk in, he knew that he meant to sell Su Hexiang.
"Boss, you have such a good heart! Good people are rewarded! ”
The boss weighed ten catties to Lu Xiyi: "I can only give you so much!" If you really thank me, don't tell the third person, I still have Su Hexiang for sale here, you know? ”
Lu Xiyi put Su Hexiang in the basket, and he was happy: "Boss, don't worry, I am definitely not the kind of villain who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge and takes revenge!" ”
Lu Xiyi bought all the medicinal materials and walked back happily. I saw a star shop on the side of the road selling gadgets, and there was a voice in it, which was very funny. Just put this thing in your mouth and you can make a different sound. Those who are born dumb can use this kind of thing.
"If you take it back to Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng will be happy!"
Lu Xiyi carried the basket and walked outside a secluded alley, as if he heard a moan. Turning his head, a man in the alley fell against the wall, clutching his stomach and screaming pain.
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts me!"
It seems that it is a sudden illness, and I have to take it to the doctor immediately.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Lu Xiyi walked up to him and asked with concern.
The man lowered his head and said with a crying voice: "I...... I'm so sick that I'm afraid I'll die here. It doesn't matter if I die, but I still have a wife and children at home, and I have no one to support them, so I am not willing to leave! ”
The scream was very miserable, which aroused Lu Xiyi's compassion.
"Big brother, maybe it's just a small problem, don't be so pessimistic. Do you know where there is a doctor nearby, I'll help you go! ”
The man turned his face suddenly, and his voice suddenly became hideous and fierce: "No need, I am much better when I see you!" ”
Lu Xiyi finally saw the man's face clearly, he was the owner of the restaurant!
"It's you!"
"Yes, it's me. You hurt the restaurant and have no business to do, I can't wait to eat you! He stood up and clapped his hands, "Someone, take her back, I'm going to serve her well!" ”
At the exit of the alley, two figures appeared, with broad arms and thick waists, and their arms were thicker than Lu Xiyi's thighs.
"You, what are you going to do!" Lu Xiyi kept retreating, leaning against the wall. She was now surrounded by the three of them, and she couldn't get anywhere. "Help!"
The boss sneered: "You shout, even if you break your throat, no one will come to save you, hehehehe." ”
I only heard a whooshing sound in the air, a blue light flashed in front of Lu Xiyi's eyes, and the boss let out a miserable scream.
"Ouch!"
Lu Xiyi looked at it, there was already a blood mark on the restaurant owner's face, and on the wall, an object was shining: it turned out to be a meteor dart!
The owner of the restaurant immediately panicked, covered his face, and looked around: "Who is it?" Damn, come out of here! Hurting people in secret, what kind of hero is he! ”
A cold voice came loudly: "If I hurt people secretly, I am not a hero, you three men bullying a woman are heroes?" I'm afraid it's not even a bear. ”
Before the words fell, a slender man in black fell between Lu Xiyi and the restaurant owner, the long sword was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword was cold, pointing directly at the restaurant owner.
"You...... Who are you, and why do you cover your face with a veil? ”
The man in black smiled coldly: "When Lu saw injustice, he drew a knife to help." Now I will give you two ways to go, one is to leave immediately, and the other is to fight me to the death. ”
"Hmph, it's great to hold a sword!" One of the men spoke, Hong Zhong was powerful, "I still have a knife in my hand!" "I don't take the man in black seriously at all.
The man in black said gloomily, "Then give it a try!" ”
Between the lightning and flint, the sword of the man in black had already stabbed over, and the man with the knife was caught off guard, and with a bang, he was stabbed in the arm by the sword, and with a bang, the knife fell to the ground.
"It's too fast!" Another man couldn't help but say, and then looked at the restaurant owner, which meant that the other party had superb swordsmanship, and they were not opponents at all, so let's go.
The owner of the restaurant still wanted to save face, and pointed at the man in black and Lu Xiyi: "You wait for me!" ”
The two immediately turned around, and a puff of smoke slipped out of the alley.
