55. The price of medicine

Xiao Zhen didn't listen to his words anymore, he didn't even take off his soft armor, turned around and walked out.

Suzaku's residence was a little far away from the other soldiers. She sat alone in front of the tent, carefully polishing a short knife, from the blade to the hilt, not sparing a small pattern. Seeing Xiao Zhen coming, she glanced up and said expressionlessly, "It's inside." ”

Xiao Zhen said "um" and went in directly. There was only one bench in the tent, and I couldn't imagine that there was a woman living here, and the bench was made of a few pieces of wood that Suzaku usually used to sleep. Mo Yu was lying on the bench with his eyes closed, his hair scattered to one side, and his legs still hanging on the ground, and he fell asleep like this.

Xiao Zhen squatted down and leaned very close to study her face. The chin is pointed, and it seems to be thinner than before. He reached out and gently touched her neck, her collarbone protruding through the thin garment, and it was a little unbearable to touch.

Su Tian, this is the life you gave her? She has always been vigilant, if she wasn't extremely tired, how could she fall asleep in the tent of the Qin military camp?

Xiao Zhen grabbed her thin ankle and wanted to help her take off her shoes and move them all to the bench. As soon as his hand moved, Mo Yu woke up, sat up hurriedly, and looked at it a few times before he recognized that person was Xiao Zhen. She ran her hair through one hand and said in a thin and weak voice, "I'm sorry, I was waiting for you, and I don't know how to fall asleep." ”

She was just about to stand up when she found that half of her body was numb, and it hurt from the gap between the wooden bars on the bench. With a soft "hiss", he fell back again.

Xiao Zhen stretched out his arm to cushion her and support her. I haven't seen her for a few days, and she is so thin that she can only feel the bones, and the original touch with a little baby-like flesh is all gone. Xiao Zhen looked at her face silently, a pair of dark eyes, on a palm-sized face, it looked extraordinarily big.

Mo Yu was furious by him, pushed his hand away, and took out the Xuanniao mask and gave it to him: "This will be returned to you." ”

"You can keep it," Xiao Zhen said seriously, "In case Shouchun City is broken, with this thing, no one will dare to hurt you." ”

Mo Yu threw the mask into his arms and said mockingly: "Xiao Zhen, don't be too conceited, who wins and who loses, I don't know yet." "The words are light, but Mo Yu has no bottom in his heart, the situation in Chu is indeed not very good.

Xiao Zhen didn't say much, and put away the mask: "What's the matter with me?" ”

I just said something so conceited, and now I'm a little embarrassed to ask for someone. Mo Yu opened his mouth: "It's nothing...... Give you something back......"

"Tell me, what do you want me to do." Xiao Zhen repeated again, she came in person, naturally it would not be as simple as returning something.

Mo Yu hadn't had a good rest for a few months, and after a good night's sleep, the fatigue of his whole body came up even worse. She supported her body with one arm and said as calmly as possible: "When I was in the Qin Kingdom, you gave me a medicinal powder, which is very effective, can you give me a little more?" ”

Xiao Zhen's voice suddenly became nervous, pinching her wrist, wanting to probe her pulse: "Does my heart hurt again?" How often? When was the last time? ”

A series of questions made the ink rumors unable to interject into his mouth. She withdrew her hand in embarrassment: "It's not me, I'm fine, it's ...... It's because you said that the effect of the medicinal powder is magical, and I want to ask for a little for Su Tian. She couldn't lie to Xiao Zhen, his eyes seemed to be able to see her heart directly.

"Su Tian is already terminally ill?" Xiao Zhen asked with a frown.

Mo Yu looked at him coldly: "You don't have to gloat so much, you won't be able to die for a while, you can give it if you want to, and if you don't give it, forget it." As he spoke, he was about to walk out the door.

One foot had already stepped out of the door before he heard Xiao Zhen's voice: "Even if the medicinal powder is given to you, you may not know how to use it." ”

"What do you mean?" Mo Yu stopped, staring at him with blazing eyes.

Xiao Zhen said unhurriedly: "The powder of black glowstone is too violent, and taking it alone will cause qi and blood to flow backwards, but it is life-threatening. Only by combining with a prescription that my father found before and taking it at the same time could I suppress the too strong medicinal properties and achieve the desired effect. ”

"What do you want to do with you?" Mo Yu even held his breath and asked cautiously.

Xiao Zhen stood up: "My ancestor used to be the lowest businessman in Shinong Industry and Commerce, and today I will also be a businessman, as long as you can pay for the consultation, I will help you." No, that's not a favor for you, you bought my medicine. ”

"If you want the land of Chu, then don't open your mouth as soon as possible." Mo Yu said mockingly, Su Tian would definitely not agree to such a condition.

Xiao Zhen chuckled: "What do I want the land for?" No matter how much I want, it will all belong to King Qin in the end, and I want it to belong to myself. Mo Yu, I want you, if I save Su Tian, I want you. ”

Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, and when he understood what he was talking about, he first blushed, then slowly suppressed the impulse in his heart, and smiled softly at him: "Okay, I promise you, when do you want to?" Is it here or somewhere else? ”

Xiao Zhen was so excited by her laughter that when she heard her words clearly, anger rushed up from the depths of her abdomen. Did she really not understand, or did she deliberately spoil herself so badly? Don't she understand that he doesn't just want a body?

was extremely angry, but unusually calm, Xiao Zhen also smiled kindly: "Don't worry, when I save Su Tian, you will be willing to follow me, it will be interesting." I don't like to force people. ”

Mo Yu bit his lip tightly, and was about to bite the blood: "Until then, you are not allowed to touch me!" ”

Xiao Zhen nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Also, you are not allowed to tell anyone about Su Tian's illness." Mo Yu went on to say, "You are not allowed to ...... You are not allowed to take the opportunity to attack Chu. ”

"Okay, what are the conditions, you can say it in one breath today, so as not to say that I am not credited in the future." The corners of Xiao Zhen's mouth were hooked, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

"No," Mo Yu lowered his head, "when are you going to give me the powder?" ”

"You want to find a way to take me into the palace of Chu Wang, I have to see Su Tian's situation before I know how to dispense medicine. That recipe varies from person to person, and it is different every time. Xiao Zhen's fingers tapped on the wooden stool, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to hear her answer.

Mo Yu's face was cloudy, she didn't plan to tell Su Tian that she secretly came to find Xiao Zhen, but if Xiao Zhen appeared in front of Su Tian, this matter could not be concealed no matter what. After thinking about it, she still didn't dare to joke with Su Tian's life: "You find a way to enter the city by yourself, and I will arrange someone to bring you in." ”

Before leaving, she turned around again and said with a bit of threat: "After the prescription, you will leave quickly, and you are not allowed to take the opportunity to wander around in Shouchun." ”

……

By the time Suzaku polished the fifteen daggers of different lengths that he had carried with him, it was already dark. She had noticed that the girl had gone during the day, but she was wiping a dagger with fish intestines and didn't pay much attention to observing her.

When she put away the dagger and got into the tent, she was startled by Xiao Zhen, who was sitting quietly in the dark. There was no light in the tent, Xiao Zhen sat on the ground, and leaned on the side of the bench. Suzaku suddenly felt that this master seemed to be lonely all over, trying his best to grasp something, but that thing was getting farther and farther away from him.

"Suzaku, you go and prepare a few things for me," Xiao Zhen didn't look up, and his voice was a little hoarse, "The commonly used herbs for invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, ask for some each, and then take a piece of black fluorite and grind it into powder." ”

"Black Fluorite gave that girl some last time, and now the rest is only enough to eat two more times." Suzaku was a little unreluctant, "The life-saving things left by the old master, you were so generous to give favors." ”

"Hurry up and get ready!" Xiao Zhen scolded in a low voice. Suzaku didn't dare to say anything more, and turned to go out.

……

Mo Yu waited anxiously for a few days, for fear that Xiao Zhen would break his promise, and suddenly decided not to come. If I knew this, it would have been better to snatch the powder out first, regardless of whether I lived or died that day.

Unexpectedly, on the third day, Xiao Zhen suddenly came. She originally planned to let Han Chong pick up Xiao Zhen and bring it in secretly, but Xiao Zhen had his own method and appeared in Chengyuan Hall with such a swagger.

He was an envoy of the Qin State and came to negotiate peace with the Chu State.
