Chapter Seventy-Six: Once Upon a Time

"The witch country is called the emperor of the voodoo sage, and the poison produced there is not only strange but also very domineering, but the witch country is still far away from us, why is the poison spreading?" Wei Ting suddenly realized the seriousness of this matter, and then looked at Wu Jinghong, and then realized what the meaning of Wu Jinghong's eyes was full of depth.

"We can't care so much, it's important to dispel the poison for Jiuzun first, have you bought all the medicinal materials on the recipe?"

"Except for the taste of He Shou Wu, there are others, and the medicinal materials are said to be only available outside the city, and the subordinates have sent people out of the city to find them."

Wu Jinghong frowned, and looked at Jiuzun with worried eyes, "I'm afraid it's too late, and you can't make a fire here, if it is discovered by the patrolling infantry, it will be useless." If he is caught back this time, Jiu Yao will definitely not give up! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my subordinates have found a family, and the male owner is taking medicine because he is seriously ill, so my subordinates only need to borrow their medicine stove."

"Yes, but you have to keep an eye on people, lest someone ventilate the news." Wu Jinghong nodded with satisfaction, Wei Ting used to be the commander of the Guards, and he was also thoughtful in doing things in the imperial capital, and his mind was still very delicate.

Now Qimang is not by his side, and the most powerful person is Wei Ting.

That night, Wu Jinghong leaned under the porch, looking at the morning star in the sky, and his heart was full of emotion.

She is a lonely soul from modern times, and in order to continue to survive, she has persevered until now.

Thinking about it, this is also a very difficult growth process for her. Although she likes to learn, no matter what is new, she is interested in applying what she has learned, such as learning medicine and poison art in order to go to Gu in the first place.

It's just that she didn't expect that everything she has learned from her previous life to the present has now become her capital in the world.

Sure enough, no matter what world you live in, you must have enough capital to survive, whether it is your status or status, wealth and family background, or your knowledge and skills, but wherever you have something extraordinary, you can struggle to survive to the end.

The morning star flickered, and was gradually blocked by a dark cloud.

"Your Highness, the medicine is ready."

Wei Ting personally flew in carrying a hot jar, and Wu Jinghong immediately came back to his senses and took it, "Tell people to guard the surroundings, if there is a noise, immediately transfer from the backyard, even if you can't go out of the city directly so conveniently, it can be regarded as a way out." ”

In the evening, Wei Ting's men explored the well in the backyard, only to find that the secret passage under the well was very short, leading only to the room of another house.

Wei Ting nodded, turned around and went to make arrangements.

The medicinal fragrance in the jar surrounded the tip of his nose, and Wu Jinghong hurriedly brought it into the room, but saw Jiuzun lying on the bed with a confused face, and when he saw her, he became nervous, his eyes were round, and he said, "You, who are you?" ”

"I'm ......" Wu Jinghong paused, smiled, and said softly, "Who do you think I am?" ”

Jiuzun looked at her suspiciously, looked her up and down, and hesitated, "Are you a doctor?" Is this medicine for me? ”

Wu Jinghong poured the decoction in the medicine jar into the bowl and handed it to Jiuzun, "How do you know that I am a doctor?" Do you know what medicine this is? ”

"I suffered a cold in the imperial sister's palace a few days ago, isn't this a cold medicine?"

Jiuzun did not doubt him, and obediently took the medicine bowl, without frowning, and drank the medicine in one gulp.

"Aren't you afraid of hardship? I didn't prepare sweet candies. Although Wu Jinghong smiled lightly, there was a pain in his heart, and he didn't know the reason for Jiuzun's performance, but from his simple eyes, he might not be the Jiuzun she knew.

"What is this, the imperial sister said, a manly man, you must not just complain about pain and pain." Jiuzun proudly straightened his chest and smacked his lips tastefully, as if he was not afraid of the smell of medicine at all.

Wu Jinghong's heart trembled slightly, "Do you like the imperial sister very much?" ”

"Of course, my father is very busy every day, and only when the emperor is there will he talk to us happily. The queen mother cried all day long, and the doctors said that the queen mother was not in good health and could not be disturbed, so only the royal sister loved us the most and took us to play all day long. ”

Jiuzun's voice was loud and clear, and his eyes were clear and childish.

"Jiuzun, do you know how old you are?"

Jiuzun's suspicious gaze turned over again, and his face became serious, "As a doctor, you don't even know how old I am?" I'm four years old, are you a real doctor, are you an assassin? ”

“…… Four-year-old ......" Wu Jinghong was stunned, and Jiuzun was damaged without warning and became a four-year-old child?

Now, she can't get all the medicinal materials, and she doesn't have the cold pool on the Holy Medicine Mountain to suppress the toxicity in Jiuzun's body, if this continues, will Jiuzun continue to degenerate until she becomes a baby who knows nothing?

"Wait, what is this place? This is not my Mingwei Palace, what about my imperial brother? What about Father-in-law Jin? ”

Jiuzun got out of bed with a serious expression, began to walk around the house, and saw Ming Yuedong who fainted in the corner of the wall and was tied up, and was shocked for a while, "Who are you!" Why did you still tie her up! ”

"You know her?"

Jiuzun probed over, looked at Ming Yuedong left and right, and said strangely, "But how did she become like this, she should be smaller, and her face is still injured, did I recognize the wrong person?" Is she Ah Lian? ”

The dance was shocking, Ming Yuedong was only a palace maid in the palace of Shuo before she was recognized as a righteous sister by Ming Yuexi, the queen of Shuo, although she was outstanding, she had no chance to come out. It's just that she probably met the young Jiuzun by chance, which laid the groundwork for her to follow Jiuzun's footsteps many years later.

"She is Ah Lian, but now she is the queen's sister-in-law, and she has changed her name to Ming Yuedong."

"What?!" Jiuzun's eyes widened in surprise, looked at Wu Jinghong and then at Ming Yuedong, and retorted in disbelief, "I obviously only saw her yesterday, she is just a little palace maid washing clothes in the clean room, how can she be recognized as a righteous sister by the queen mother?" She's only nine years old! ”

"Jiuzun, your queen mother has passed away a long time ago, and the current queen is your sister-in-law, and your royal brother has inherited the throne." Wu Jinghong explained unhurriedly, "You are not four years old now, and Ming Yuedong is not nine years old. ”

Jiuzun was even more surprised, surprised and a little incredulous.

"If you don't believe me, go and look in the mirror to see if you're four years old."

There was a simple dressing table in the room, on which was placed an ancient bronze mirror, the bronze mirror was intricately shaped, and the mysterious pattern around it looked indescribable.

Jiuzun ran over in three or two steps, threw himself straight in front of the mirror, and stared at the mirror with wide eyes.

The bronze mirror was covered with some dust, Jiuzun couldn't wait to raise his sleeves to wipe it, who expected that the bracket of the bronze mirror was a little loose, and the bronze mirror fell backwards under Jiuzun's touch.

Wu Jinghong keenly sensed that something was wrong, and as soon as he stepped to Jiuzun's side, he felt that his feet were empty, and he fell down with a "plop".

"Ahh

“…… This, how can there be an authentic ......?"

Jiuzun looked around in amazement, but his eyes could only reach the light that came from the entrance overhead, and he could vaguely see that it was a long tunnel, leading left and right, and he didn't know where it started or where it led.

After Wu Jinghong's heart was stabilized, he was only full of anticipation and joy, this Li family really has some ability, it seems that there is more than one tunnel in this house, and it is more likely that several tunnels are intricately connected to each other underground.

One of them, she figured out, must have led to the outside of the city!

"It's so high, if you fall yourself, you're going to die."

Seeing that Wu Jinghong was speechless for a long time, Jiuzun thought that she was frightened and couldn't come back to her senses, so she talked to herself to divert her attention.

Wu Jinghong looked left and right, took out the flint from his waist, groped his way through the darkness and walked a few steps, and sure enough, he found the oil lamp hanging on the wall.

"Snort"

With a sound of flint, Wu Jinghong lit the oil lamp, which instantly illuminated a tunnel, and Jiuzun looked at it, almost screaming again, but fortunately he was swallowed back by himself before he broke out.

Jiuzun pointed to the wall behind Wu Jinghong, and pretended to be calm, "These walls, murals, are really, really unique. ”

Wu Jinghong looked back and chuckled, "Don't be afraid, in my opinion, these are not murals, they should be totems that imply something." ”

"I'm not afraid!" Jiuzun snorted, walked forward with his head held high, "Isn't it a totem?" We also have it in the palace, it seems to be a purple phoenix, but it's beautiful! ”

"Purple Phoenix? In the Imperial Palace? ”

Wu Jinghong paused, looked at Jiuzun and asked, "Where?" What kind of purple phoenix? ”

"Hmph, in my father's Wolong Palace, there is a whole wall, just that purple phoenix, it looks majestic, but I only saw it when I went secretly." Jiuzun said proudly, "My father has never said it to us, and I haven't said it to others, you are the first, but you must not say it." ”

“…… Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Wu Jinghong's heart was a little relieved, and he smiled slightly.

Speaking of this purple phoenix totem, the origin is not small. It is said that in ancient times, the Han land was ruled by the purple phoenix, and there were several major protectors under the purple phoenix, and the totem of the cloud country was one of the lark protectors.

Of course, legends are legends, and Wu Jinghong will not be completely taken seriously, but in the history book that records this legend, there is such a prophecy.

"On the day of the reappearance of the purple phoenix, when the Han land was regulated, the sand and the sea were connected, and the world was one."

The weight of this remark has left a deep impression on the heart of Wu Jinghong, who is not superstitious at all in modern times, as the saying goes, it is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. After all, in this world, many things cannot be explained by truth and science.
