Chapter 709: An Awkward Relationship Between the Two
The sky gradually brightened, perhaps because the moonlight was too strong at night, and in the early morning, the sky gradually turned white, and a heavy fog arose, shrouding the entire Lingyan City in a sea of gray fog.
When Tuoba Ce arrived at the medical center, it was already dark, and the medical center had not yet opened, and he didn't know how long the lazy medical center store would sleep.
He looked left and right, but there were no officers and soldiers, so he knocked on the door boldly and with confidence.
......The knock on the door in the early morning was so loud in the silence of the morning that even the street vendors couldn't help but stare at him twice.
But no one answered the door at all, he reluctantly raised his hand and knocked three times, and waited until he heard the door 'squeak' and was opened a gap, poking out a sleepy eye of the medicine boy, and said in an impatient tone: "Who, it's not such an early morning disturbing dream!" ”
As soon as he said his words, Mu Ran saw Tuoba Ce standing at the door clearly, looked up and down, and was so sleepy that he was shocked, as if he had seen something terrifying, and asked in a trembling voice: "This ...... Is there anything wrong with this hero? ”
Tuoba Ce was puzzled, and for a moment the medicine boy's eyes widened, he thought that the medicine boy knew him, that he had exposed his identity, and that he was a person from the rivers and lakes.
Seeing his frightened and slurred appearance, Tuoba Ce really wanted to find a mirror to see where he looked terrible, and seeing him was like seeing a ghost, and his expression was too exaggerated!
As Xiao Tong spoke, he had already opened the door, his eyes were dodgy, and he didn't dare to look at him, so he lowered his head and asked, "If you want any medicinal herbs, you can take them yourself." ”
After that, he stood aside, not daring to step forward, nor daring to approach Tuoba Ce, as if he was a ghostly ghost, which made people afraid.
Although Tuoba Ce was puzzled, he didn't care, walked up to him, handed the prescription in his hand to Xiao Tong and said, "Prepare me a pair of medicines according to the above medicine." ”
"Yes." Xiao Tong hurriedly agreed, took the medicine and went into the counter, although he was small, but he could see that the prescription was for sword wounds, and his hands and feet were numb, so he quickly prepared all the medicines needed by Tuoba Ce and put them on the counter.
Tuoba Ce took it in his hand and weighed it, the prescription was written for three days, and the amount in his hand was about enough, so he put his hand on his waist and wanted to take the purse.
Xiao Tong waved his hand again and again, as if he was very afraid of him: "Hero, these medicines are given to you, and you don't accept cash, you don't accept cash." ”
Tuoba Ce was even more puzzled, there were many reasons why this little boy was afraid of him, it could be that he looked like someone he was afraid of, or it could be that he didn't like children.
But this is the first time he has seen the medicine without charging money, he can't figure out what the child is afraid of him, and he still feels that something is wrong when he walks to the threshold with the medicine, and turns around and asks: "What are you afraid of, am I so terrible?" ”
The child shook his head vigorously, but he no longer said a word to him, and instead of a plain Tuoba Ce, he took the child's shirt and twisted him in his hand to ask what was going on.
But he can't, he is no longer the crown prince, he is still a prisoner of the imperial court, and he has to be cautious in his words and deeds, so he has to leave with doubts.
As soon as Tuoba Ce left, the medicine boy cried out loud, and hurriedly shouted: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper uncle, report quickly!" ”
Ever since Tuopatzer had fled, the king had not closed his eyes, and had sat in the temple all night waiting for news from the guard.
How could he sleep, the person who escaped was Tuoba Ce who he managed to bring down with great difficulty, this is good, the throne has not yet ascended, Tuoba Ce has already run away.
If he doesn't catch Tuoba Ce for a day, he will not be at ease for a day, and the throne will definitely be unstable, Tuoba Ce is the former prince, and King Anding knows the truth of the matter better than anyone else, he is afraid, afraid that when the truth is revealed to the world, he will be reduced to a prisoner.
He paced back and forth in front of the Taishi's chair, all night, he fled without any news, he was really in a hurry to die, he gave a death order, caught the fugitive, killed him, lived to see people die, he didn't even see the body now.
"Report!" At this time, suddenly a guard rushed in and knelt down, and reported very quickly: "Lord Qijiao, someone just reported that someone in Lingyan City was found to be a person who looks like a deposed prince, dare to ask Your Majesty if you should send troops to search for him?" ”
"Search!" King Anding finally smiled, and when he heard the news of Tuobatze, he was even more excited than when he became emperor, and when he saw the guards getting up and wanting to leave, he asked again, "How did you find him?" ”
He had to find out if there was anyone else around him, or if it was a trap, he claimed to be sinister and cunning, but Tuopat was not a scheming man, and he could only be cautious with Tuobat.
"Back to Your Majesty, he seems to be injured, went to the hospital to grab medicine, because the medicine boy saw that his clothes were full of blood, so he asked the shopkeeper to report to the official, thinking that he was a Jiangyang thief, but after painting a portrait in the yamen, he dared to conclude that eight out of ten. Nine is the abolished prince. The guards truthfully reported what had happened to the king of Anding.
"Hurt?" King Anding was a little suspicious, and he wasn't sure if Tuoba Ce was really injured or fake, "Send all the way to chase after him, and if he can kill him, he will be killed on the spot!" ”
He thought, anyway, he didn't need to come forward in person, whether it was true or not, as long as he was killed, all the problems, all the worries and troubles would be solved.
Tuobatse had already returned to Aoki's house at this time, and he didn't know at all that because his chest was stained with the blood of others, the medicine boy had already reported to the official, and he didn't know everything in the palace.
Just walked through the stone road, never stepped on a night flower, walked to the door and saw Cang Rinchen sitting on the bench, holding Xia Yinhuan's hand and not knowing what he was saying, and Aoki was carving a wood carved puppet, I couldn't see it, but the puppet's eyes were carved with brilliance.
"I'm back." Relieved, he stepped over the threshold and trotted all the way back, his hair wet from fog or sweat.
He put the medicine he had bought on the table, and Aoki didn't look up, but said while carving the puppet, "You're tired, rest for a while, that son, please go and decoct your wife yourself." ”
Cang Rinchen stood up and looked at Aoki, a little surprised, but when he saw Tuoba Ce's panting appearance, he immediately agreed, picked up the medicine bag and asked, "Where is the medicine?" ”
"The room next to it." Aoki continued, Cang Rinchen nodded and walked out of the door, and went to another room, the room was very small, only enough to fit a bed, but there was a small door at the back of the room, and outside the small door was a place for cooking and cooking.
He had never decocted medicine, and he didn't know how to put it when he took it, he didn't worry about what Tuoba Ce would do to Xia Yinhuan, he was here, he wanted Tuoba Ce to take care of Xia Yinhuan's injury even if he had the heart.
A stone slab, on the slate are a few simple clay bowls, and a few clay medicine pots, Cang Rinchen took it in his hand, opened the medicine bag, and put the medicine inside into the medicine jar little by little, I don't know how much to put in it, hesitating to go into the house to ask Aoki. Someone had already walked out, leaned against the door frame, and looked at him coldly, with a little ridicule at the corner of his mouth.
"Are you trying to fill the jar?" Tuoba Ce laughed at him, glanced at him and said, "Senior Aoki said that you only need to put half a medicine jar, and if you put too much, the amount of medicine will not be enough." ”
Cang Rinchen's face was pale, how could he know if he had never done such a thing, and with a cold face, he took out half of the herbs that had just been stuffed into the medicine jar and put them back in the medicine bag.
Just as he was about to scoop water into the medicine jar with a clay bowl, Tuoba Ce said: "The water should not be too full, otherwise the water will overflow and extinguish the fire when the medicine is boiled." ”
Cang Linchen's face was a little embarrassed again, Tuoba Ce seemed to know everything, he suspected that Tuoba Ce didn't come out to tell him, but simply wanted to taunt him once.
It was for Xia Yinhuan to boil the medicine, so he endured it, Xia Yinhuan was still waiting for the medicine he boiled to save his life, he had never done these things for Xia Yinhuan before, and he started to ignite the fire at the moment.
But he couldn't point it several times, Tuoba Ce leaned on the threshold and looked at him with an embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help sighing and said, "I really don't know why Xia Yinhuan fell in love with you as a stupid person." ”
Cang Rinchen raised his head and glared at him, his cheeks were full of black, Tuoba Ce laughed out loud, facing this father-killing enemy, he only felt that he was ridiculous at the moment, and shook his head again and again: "That's it, let Uncle Ben come to burn the fire, you come to decoct the medicine, if you wait for you to boil the medicine, I'm afraid Yin Huan will be white." ”
Seeing that he was sarcastic and ridiculous, Cang Linchen finally opened his mouth and said, "If you laugh again, believe it or not, I cut off your tongue." ”
Knowing that he was annoyed, Tubatze laughed louder, but did not spare himself, and followed him to the stove, added some hay to the stove, and incited it with a fan.
After Tuoba Ce's careful ignition, the fire gradually grew bigger, and Cang Rinchen stood by the stove, holding the guard of the medicine jar tightly, staring at the medicine jar for a moment.
The atmosphere froze instantly, and the air seemed to drop a lot, a little chilly.
The two of them didn't say a word, and they didn't raise their eyes to look at each other, although there was only a small stove in the middle, but no one did anything to anyone, if it was before, the two would have fought a lot.
Cang Rinchen only felt uncomfortable, as if there were countless small insects crawling around on his body, uncomfortable, he thought that he could only be an enemy with Tuoba Ce!
"Where are you going next, back to Yasukuni?" Tuobatzer asked suddenly, not looking up at the dust, but just staring intently at the flames in the furnace, adding some small wood chips to the stove.
"Hmm." Cang Rinchen replied lightly, if it wasn't for the fact that he happened to meet Tuoba Ce in the broken temple, Cang Rinchen thought, they had already begun to leave for Yasukuni today.
It's a pity that the world is always so small, and there are so many people back and forth,
There was silence between the two again, Cang Linchen felt uncomfortable, this time he opened his mouth and asked: "What are you going to do, why don't you go back to Yasukuni with us, if you are in southern Xinjiang, King Anding will not let you go." ”
At the mention of King Anding, Tuoba Ce's face sank quickly, and for a moment he was already iron-blue, his fists clenched and clicked, the reason why he was hiding and hiding now was because of the relationship between King Anding, his good brother, who had to kill him completely.
It's good to go to Yasukuni, not only can you avoid the pursuit of King Anding, but you can also contact the old department to re-subordinate and recapture the southern Xinjiang, but he shook his head and didn't accept the favor of Cang Linchen: "I'll stay in southern Xinjiang, I don't want to owe you favors, now we don't owe each other, when Xia Yinhuan wakes up, when I take back everything that belongs to me, I will definitely snatch Xia Yinhuan back from you." ”
His eyes were resolute, as if he was very confident in his ability, he couldn't take Xia Yinhuan away now, he didn't even have a place to settle down now, taking Xia Yinhuan with him would only hurt her.
