Chapter 10: Old Friends

Due to the successive disasters in his family in recent days, the assassin who had just finished the incident was hit by a heavenly fire, which made the heart of the great Sima Wang Mang extremely bad. can sit in the position of Da Sima, in addition to the identity of Wang Mang's relatives, he is also an extremely thoughtful person.

As soon as he was summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother, assassins broke into the palace. Moreover, those assassins did not go to other rooms, and after entering, they went straight to the study, picking when they were not in the mansion, which already showed that the assassins' target was not themselves. But since then, the spearhead has been aimed at the queen mother in the palace.

Wang Mang relied on his aunt, the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun, but at this time, the power of the two relatives of the Empress Dowager and the Empress had risen. Empress Dowager Fu and Empress Ding's own family have many knighthoods and officials, and there is a faint momentum to replace Wang Mang. At this time, such things continued to happen in his own house, which made Wang Mang feel a little uneasy.

From the second day of the fire, Yan Zheng followed Wang Mang with him. And Guangzhi stayed in the Great Sima Mansion and would not leave easily.

In the early morning of the second day of the fire in the Great Sima Mansion, in the palace Empress Dowager Fu's bedroom. The man dressed in Fang Shi clothes stood respectfully in front of the middle-aged woman, the Empress Dowager Fu, he took out a small brocade box from his arms and put it on the table in front of the Empress Dowager, and after opening the brocade box, it revealed the black pill the size of a broad bean inside.

At the same time as the elixir appeared, Empress Dowager Fu's eyes were already straight. Her eyes stared directly at the elixir, and after a while, she let out a sigh of relief and said to Fang Shi, "Is this the elixir of immortality you said?" Can you live forever if you eat it? Do I need any other medicine? ”

"Whether it's an elixir or not, you still need to find someone to confirm it." After bowing, Fang Shi continued, "I have already sent someone to find someone who has taken the elixir of life, and there should be news in the next few days. As long as those two people confirm it, you can take it with confidence. He has become an immortal. ”

Empress Dowager Fu took a deep breath and said, "Even if the person you find confirms this pill, it is the same as the elixir they took. How can you be sure that it is also the same medicinal properties inside? Since ancient times, countless people have died violently by taking this so-called elixir. Do you want Hongu to risk his life to test the medicine for you? ”

After saying this, Fang Shi's body trembled. After seeing Fang Shi's reaction, the Queen Mother sneered, and then continued: "One elixir is not enough, at least two. The other one is looking for someone to test the drug, understand? ”

Fang Shi was silent for a moment, then sighed and replied, "Yes......"

At this time, in Yan Zheng's private house, he told Wu Mian about what he encountered in the Great Sima Mansion during the day. After the old guy finished speaking, the white-haired man hadn't spoken, and Bai Wuqiu had already preemptively said, "Old guy, do you mean that someone is worried about your elixir?" What do you think they're bothering to do? Ask you directly. You don't like the old guy, but who knows if they will go out and send you all the wives and girls - wait a minute! Old guy, I'll tell you in advance, you waste yours, don't really find a stepmother for Lao Tzu to come back......"

"Silly son, when I listened to your first half of the sentence just now, I still wanted to praise you." After smiling bitterly, he just wanted to say something to his cheap son. Wu Mian, who had not spoken, finally spoke: "What about the pill?" Did you bury it with that person? I don't believe you didn't follow along, maybe someone will take the pill away in the middle of the night. ”

"So does he eat or not?" After listening to Wu Mian's words, he laughed without returning. After a pause, the old guy continued: "Those who know goods dare not eat, and those who do not know goods are not afraid of him eating." If you really see the pill and swallow it directly, then I don't have to look at him with the old man's eyes. ”

As the two of them spoke, they listened with a frown. When he heard this, the second stunned couldn't help but interject and said: "If that person's life is good, he eats it like this, and he really becomes the same white hair as Guangzhi, isn't it cheap for him?" ”

"That's even better." After smiling at his cheap son, he continued, "That person's goal is the elixir of life, and he won't trouble us anymore after he turns gray. Besides, everyone is an immortal person, and there will always be a day when you live for a long time. Whoever is the person who has taken the pill and becomes immortal, this one can be recognized at a glance. The loss I suffered today will be recovered sooner or later. ”

After pursing his lips, Bai Wuqiu said: "It's not too late for others to take revenge for ten years, you are avenging for a lifetime." ”

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and then Yan Zheng's housekeeper was heard saying through the door: "Gui Master, there is a person outside who claims to be your old friend who asks to see you." You see, is this person seen, or is not seen? ”

"Old friends?" After smiling weirdly, he stuck out his tongue at Wu Mian, and then said to the housekeeper outside the door: "The last one said that it was my old friend, and he has been dead for more than three hundred years. You go and ask him about his name, and see who is shameless and dares to claim to be my old friend. ”

"The little one has already asked," replied the butler respectfully outside the door, "but that old friend of yours said that you already know who he is, and you don't dare to come in and bother a few old men." ”

Without waiting for the return to speak, Bai Wuqiu took the first step and said: "Look, what did Lao Tzu say just now?" People brought their wives and girls to exchange pills, right? Say it's your old father-in-law, I'm embarrassed, just say your old friend. ”

"Then you have to call grandpa" After glancing at his son, he stood up and walked slowly towards the door, and continued as he walked: "I'll go and see the old man, who is so big that he claims to be my old friend?" An old friend who is still alive is fishing in the sea, and I don't believe he came back......"

When he walked to the door, the old guy hesitated for a moment, turned around and said to Wu Mian, who was still sitting in place: "Don't you want to see my old friend?" If you don't get it, you know, who knows if it's a new child you have met in the past two or three hundred years. After living for one hundred and eighty years, I feel old. ”

"I don't want to know" Wu Mian said slowly: "It's said that it's your old friend, and when the two of you made friends, it was still a matter of my last life." Why do you want me to greet someone I may not have seen in my previous life? ”

There are not many spells at this time, and I originally wanted to go out with a backer. Seeing that Wu Mian didn't plan to go out, he could only turn his head to look at his cheap son. However, Bai Wuqiu thought that someone outside the door really came to give the beauty of the return to change the elixir, and when he saw his 'biological father's gaze glancing at him, the second stunned man directly twisted his head to the side, as if he didn't see the action of not returning.

There is only Xiao Ren San left, but it is better to rely on it than to rely on it. At the moment, I could only sigh and say to myself: "Others raise sons, and I also raise sons in old people." Look at someone's son......"

He nagged and followed the butler towards the gate, and after a long time he didn't see anyone coming back with him. Bai Wuqiu was a little impatient, and said to himself: "Bacheng is really said by Lao Tzu, and the old guy is now picking his daughter-in-law to pick his eyes." It seems that there is more than one picked, can you withstand your body bones......"

As he spoke, he jumped up from the ground. Walking towards the gate in three steps and two steps, at this time, Wu Mian also frowned slightly, and he also stood up and walked behind the second stunned man. The white-haired man's action surprised Xiao Ren San, who was guarding the house, and at that moment, it also walked towards the door.

When the three of them reached the gate, they saw that it was empty, and there was not a trace of the old fellow except for a few passers-by who occasionally passed by......
