The moonlight was cold, pouring on Zhao Hu's body, as if it was plated with a layer of silver powder.

Zhao Hu was motionless at this time, his eyes revealed a complex look of shock, surprise, surprise, etc., his lips trembled, his hands waved, he made a series of gestures, and finally slapped his arm, pulled his sleeves apart, revealing the same flame pattern as the man in black, and then looked at the person opposite expectantly.

The man in black, Wang Liang, smiled slightly, and also replied with a series of gestures, but in the end, it was his forehead.

Zhao Hu immediately bowed down and said respectfully: "Zhao Hu, the guard of the Heavenly Blazing Country, greets the leader. ”

"General Zhao, please get up, now we have to be careful, don't do this great gift at every turn." Wang Lang hurriedly helped Zhao Hu up and said.

"Yes," Zhao Hu also stood up and asked strangely: "Why did the leader come to the palace, could it be that he also came to assassinate Tian Yao?" After speaking, there was a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Nonsense, I, Wang Liang, am loyal to the Heavenly Blazing Kingdom, how could I murder Princess Yao." Wang Liang immediately scolded.

"Leader Wang, what did you just say, Princess Yao?" Zhao Hu didn't care about Wang Liang's scolding, but even more concerned about the title he heard just now, and asked anxiously.

"You don't know?" Wang Hao asked rhetorically, "Tian Yao is the little princess who was accidentally lost by my Tianchi Kingdom more than ten years ago!" ”

"What!" Zhao Hu shouted in surprise, took two steps back, and was stunned in his mind, his sworn sister was actually the princess of his own country.

"Zhao Hu." Wang Liang carefully poked Zhao Hu, who was in a state of dementia, and said seriously: "Since you are already by the princess's side, you must take care of Her Royal Highness Princess Yao more carefully and carefully." ”

"Ah," Zhao Hu came back to his senses, heard Wang Liang's words, immediately knelt down in the direction of the Heavenly Blazing Kingdom, and said solemnly: "I, Zhao Hu, swear again, I will fight to the death to protect the safety of Princess Yao, if there is a violation, the sky will thunder, and I will not die." ”

"I was originally worried about finding an opportunity to sneak into the palace and secretly want to protect Princess Yao, but now that you are here, I can also relax for the time being." Seeing that Zhao Hu immediately swore a poisonous oath, Wang Liang believed that Zhao Hu was still loyal to the Heavenly Blazing Kingdom, and said with relief.

Wang Liang helped Zhao Hu up, looked at the sky, and said, "So, you go back first, I have to leave too, if you need to find me, you can ...... like this" said and whispered a few words close to Zhao Hu's ear. With that, he jumped onto the wall and disappeared into the moonlight.

Zhao Hu took a few deep breaths, sorted out his thoughts, and turned back to the palace.

The courtyard was still very quiet, Zhao Hu had just walked outside the door of Tian Yao's house, the door suddenly opened, and Sunset walked out.

Zhao Hu looked inside, Tian Yao was lying safe and sound, and the person guarding next to him was Xiaolian, and when he closed the door with his hand, he heard Sunset ask, "Lost again?" ”

Zhao Hu didn't know how to answer, so he just nodded and didn't speak.

Sunset frowned and said, "It's not a way to go on like this, I'm just afraid that General Zhao won't be here for long?" ”

"Why is that?" Zhao Hu looked at the sunset, suddenly thought of something, and pointed to the sky.

"Yes, I'm worried that the assassination in the past few days has not been successful, all because General Zhao is present, but I am afraid that the emperor will attack General Zhao." Sunset voiced her worries.

"What can he do to me?" Zhao Hu's mind was now all on guarding Tian Yao, and he said disdainfully when he heard the words, "However, the assassins have touched the outside of Tian Yao's room three times and twice, and the security measures in this palace still have to be strengthened." I have to think of a ......," Zhao Hu said, and sat aside and muttered to himself.

Seeing that Sunset was speechless for a while, it was not good to disturb him, so he turned around and went back to the room to take care of Tian Yao.

The next day, Zhao Hu rectified the entire palace, and the defense could almost be said to be ironclad, and even a fly could not fly in.

When the emperor heard that the assassination failed because Zhao Hu was a guard in the palace, he was very annoyed, and in a fit of rage, he sent someone to the palace to ask Zhao Hu to hand over his military power.

Zhao Hu faced a few people who passed on the message, and refused without fear, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had traitors around him, and if His Majesty wanted to take back the military power, please come in person.

Later, I heard that after the emperor heard the message, Long Yan was furious, and he was so angry that he dropped the cup on the spot, and then there was no follow-up. Not only that, but even the night in the palace calmed down.

In the evening, Sunset leaned against the door, looked at the sunset on the horizon, and said to herself: "I don't know, Doctor Xiao and they went to Jiangnan smoothly and got the magic medicine." ”

At this time, Xiao Heng and the three of them, who were nagged by the sunset, trekked all the way through mountains and rivers, wore stars and moons, and finally entered the Jiangnan realm after hard work.

After entering the south of the Yangtze River, Xiao Heng and the three of them inquired about the news of this blood grass, who expected that most people had never even heard of it, Xiao Heng asked all the way, and finally found out in the mouth of the old doctor in a small town, the owner of the village known as "Baozhuang" seemed to have this medicine in his hand.

The three of them left the inn in the morning, and at about noon, they came to a large manor.

The manor occupies a large area, with green tiles and white walls, high walls, and a scarlet gate that is closed.

Xiao Heng and the three of them glanced at each other, Dong Qing took the lead in walking to the gate, and shouted while patting the gate, "Is there anyone?" We have something important to ask to see the owner. ”

A crack opened in the door, and a man who looked like a manor guard leaned out half of his body, looked at the three of them vigilantly and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you want to see my owner? ”

Xiao Heng hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This little brother, I am a doctor, I heard that the owner of your village has a strange medicine in his hand, called 'Living Blood Grass', I came all the way to ask for medicine in order to save people's lives, and asked the little brother to report it." ”

Seeing Xiao Heng claiming to be a doctor, Xiao Cui was a maid again, and Dong Qing who knocked on the door was dressed as a bodyguard, the vigilance in the eyes of the manor guard dissipated a lot, and said: "I don't know about the blood grass or anything, but the owner of the village lives in the inner village, and if you want to go in, you have to pass five levels in a row." ”

What kind of rule is this, the three of them looked at each other, but Xiao Heng still nodded.

"Alright, come in." As he spoke, the guard opened a door and let Xiao Heng and the three of them in, and then pointed to the hut next to him and said, "This is the first level, the wooden stake." ”

What was fighting was naturally Dong Qing first, Xiao Heng asked in a low voice: "Are you sure?" ”

Dong Qing smiled slightly and said, "Divine doctor rest assured." With that, he pushed open the red wooden door of the hut and walked in.

"If the gentleman's companion succeeds, he will come out through the door over there." The guard said, gesturing to the green wooden door next to it.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw Dong Qing's figure walking out of the green wooden door.

Dong Qing walked quickly in front of Xiao Heng and said, "Divine doctor, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”

Xiao Heng nodded happily, and Xiao Cui patted Dong Qing's shoulder happily and said, "Hey, I don't usually see it, there are two times." ”

"Alright, several, please follow me to the next level." Seeing that the three of them were chatting, the guard immediately interrupted the conversation of the three and said.

Xiao Heng and the three of them remembered that this was the first level, and there were still four levels behind.

Passing through the corridor, the crowd entered a foyer. The tables in the hall were full of bottles and jars, and there was a faint smell of medicine in the air, and everyone immediately understood that this level was related to medicinal materials.

The guard who led the way came to the table with the three of them, looked at the three of them and said, "Come to think of it, the three of them also guessed what this level was." ”

"I know, it's related to medicinal herbs." Xiao Cui immediately said excitedly.

"Yes, the second level is 'smelling the fragrance and recognizing the medicine', it depends on how this gentleman's medical skills are." The guard smiled and said, "Please stand outside the door and wait." ”

After Xiaocui and Dong Qing stood outside the door, the guard picked up a white jade bottle from the table, uncovered the cap, and motioned for Xiao Heng to come forward and sniff.

Although they believed in the name of Xiao Heng's divine doctor, Xiao Cui and Dong Qing still looked at the situation in the hall nervously.

Xiao Heng smiled confidently and said, "Angelica." ”

The guard nodded, and replaced it with another bottle.

"Rehmannia rehmannia." Xiao Heng said.

The guard nodded, and changed another bottle.

This time, Xiao Heng paused for a moment before saying, "Tianma, Sanqi." ”

As the guards unveiled one bottle after another, the smell of medicine in the bottle became more and more complex.

But except for the initial pause, Xiao Heng answered almost without hesitation.

Xiao Cui poked Dong Qing and said admiringly: "Doctor Xiao is so powerful,"

Dong Qing also nodded with admiration on his face.

When the type of medicine in the last bottle was answered by Xiao Heng, even the guard showed a respectful look on his face and said, "Congratulations to Mr. for passing the test." ”

"Great!" Xiao Cui jumped up happily when she saw this.

Dong Qing also laughed happily.

"Then the three of you, please go to the next level." The guard pointed to the hallway behind the hall.

"Hey, aren't you leading the way in the next level?" After Xiao Cui was excited, she heard the guard's words and asked suspiciously.

"I'm only responsible for the first two levels, and a few of you go directly to the back room from here, and there are naturally people in there to assess the third level for you." The guard bowed.

"So, thank you." Xiao Heng saw that the guards didn't want to say much, so he had to give up his hand, and then led Xiaocui and Dong Qing out of the hall and into the corridor.

This is an open-air corridor, planted on both sides of some unknown flowers and plants, looking at the pattern everywhere exudes a sense of elegance, at the end of the corridor is a large room, other than that, there is no human figure.

Xiao Heng walked in front, walked to the door, and pushed in, Xiao Cui and Dong Qing hurriedly followed.

The interior of the room is arranged like a study, surrounded by many bookshelves, which are piled with books and bright light, and a desk is also placed in the middle, which is full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"In the third level, the single-word poems are paired, one stick of incense is limited, and those who answer all ten questions are considered to have passed. I don't know who of you will break through. The three of them just looked at the room, and a figure came out on the left, dressed as a maid, but it was a flower and a moon, and said indifferently at this time.
