Chapter 117: Encounter with a thief

Shangguan Xi was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" ”

"He knew very well what would happen if he offered to help us. But he still chose to help us, which means that he is ready to accept the dislike and disdain of Imperial Doctor Qian. If he's prepared, why should you be angry about it? Liang Yan said lightly.

Shangguan Xi's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, "Master, you are like this, just like me!" ”

"Huh?" Liang Yan looked back at her.

Shangguan Xi hurriedly covered his mouth and shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing!" ”

Knowing that she didn't want to mention her family, Liang Yan didn't ask again, looking down at her medical book, her face was indifferent.

Imperial Physician Wang did not hesitate to expose his shortcomings in twisting needles, and he also sold them to her. Why?

Is he really kind-hearted and generous? Or is there something else going on?

Liang Yan's eyes fell on a line of words in the medical book, and she didn't move for a long time.

Since you can't think of it, don't think about it for the time being, it's a mule or a horse, there will always be a time to pull it out and slip away.

The ship had been sailing for a day, and it was still dark.

I heard that the little guy who came to deliver the food said: "Doctor Qian is a little bad." ”

Liang Yan was slightly stunned.

Shangguan Xi covered his mouth and smiled like a cat stealing a fish.

Liang Yan glanced at her, turned her head and asked the little guy, "What's wrong with Doctor Qian?" ”

"I heard that it was diarrhea, and it was very ...... diarrhea"

Before the little guy could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shangguan Xi, "Oh, it's time to eat, what are you talking about?" ”

The little servant smiled and walked out of the cabin with the lacquer plate in his hand.

Shangguan Xi held the bowl in front of him, the two dimples on his face, and couldn't help but ripple.

Liang Yan looked at her lightly, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Shangguan Xi's eyes widened, "Master, why are you looking at me like this?" How do I know what's going on? It may be that I have done too much bad things, and God will not be waiting to see you anymore! ”

After speaking, he smiled and pulled rice into his mouth.

"I said that as soon as I got on the boat, I couldn't find you, you put laxatives into Imperial Doctor Qian's diet, right?" Liang Yan asked with a cold face.

Shangguan Xi saw that Liang Yan had a serious face and became a little cramped.

She put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and said nervously, "Master, are you angry?" ”

Liang Yan said lightly: "Whether I'm angry or not depends on whether you are willing to confess." ”

"That'...... Then if I confess, Master, won't you be angry? Shangguan Xi's big eyes purred and asked cautiously.

"Tell me about it first." Liang Yan looked at her and said.

"Well, that Imperial Doctor Qian is so annoying, he just scolded me for being a thief, and said Master, you relied on your face to let the sage give you an official position! Say, Master, your medical skills are not necessarily very good! Why did he say that? That mouth was really hateful, so I added senna to his tea. He's a doctor, he can't drink it himself, who can blame him? Shangguan Xi stuck out his tongue.

Liang Yan shook her head helplessly, "Imperial Doctor Qian likes to drink strong tea, and he adds a lot of ingredients, if you put senna, it is naturally not easy for him to taste." It's just that if you do this, he can easily guess that it's us. Others will also change from hating him to sympathizing with him. And he's only had diarrhea a few times at most, and what you get is far less important than what you lose. Isn't it worth the loss? ”

Shangguan Xi opened his mouth and blinked his eyes, "What Master said, it sounds like it makes sense...... But I didn't lose anything. ”

Liang Yan shook her head slightly, "Only by doing right can you sit upright, if you have to do something, you must not leave a handle on others and fall into criticism." ”

Shangguan Xi nodded, but there was still an inexplicable look on his face.

She looked at Liang Yan fixedly, and deeply felt that the expression on Liang Yan's face at this time seemed to be similar to her father!

Liang Yan asked Shangguan Xi to send an antidiarrheal prescription to Imperial Doctor Qian.

As a result, he was kicked out by Dr. Qian.

Shangguan Xi finally listened to Liang Yan's words and didn't quarrel with Imperial Doctor Qian anymore.

But Dr. Qian's diarrhea did not stop for two days.

Even Imperial Physician Wang, who lived in the same room with him, couldn't stand it, and euphemistically said that he wanted to squeeze in with Imperial Physician Sun.

Doctor Sun has nothing to object to.

Doctor Qian occupied a cabin for himself.

Strange to say, Imperial Physician Wang had just moved out, and his diarrhea was cured.

"He clearly wronged me, how can senna make people have diarrhea for so long? It must have been his own hands and feet, which not only made me feel sorry for him, but also took the opportunity to squeeze out the imperial doctor and occupy a cabin for himself! What a villain! Shangguan Xi complained in front of Liang Yan about Doctor Qian.

Liang Yan nodded, senna does not make people have diarrhea for two days in a row. And there are commonly used medicinal herbs on board, and she heard that Imperial Doctor Qian also made people boil antidiarrheal decoction. It definitely won't be leaked for more than two days in a row.

As soon as Imperial Physician Wang moved away, his diarrhea was cured again, which was too coincidental.

"Right? You think he's doing it himself, right? Shangguan Xi saw Liang Yan nodding, so he stepped forward and asked.

But at this moment, the hull of the ship suddenly shook.

The candlestick on the low table was almost shaken.

"What's going on?" Shangguan Xi jumped up suddenly, and rushed out as she spoke, but the boat shook again, and she almost didn't stand firm.

Shangguan Xi opened the hatch.

The lantern hanging outside the cabin reflected the hazy night on the river, and the ship came to a sudden stop.

"Friends passing by, we have old and young people here, and there is not enough food, so leave some silver and two rice grains so that we can live and let you pass smoothly." Someone shouted loudly on the river in the distance.

Liang Yan was startled, and also got up from the couch and came to Shangguan Xi, who was lying on the side of the boat, "What's the matter?" Have you met a robber? ”

Shangguan Xi nodded, "There are also water thieves on the Guangtong Canal?" Why haven't you heard of it before? I guess it's a new sect! ”

Liang Yan glanced at her and said with a smile: "You know a lot!" ”

Shangguan Xi stuck out his tongue, "I have been separated from my family for a long time, and I can be regarded as a person who has run through the rivers and lakes!" ”

As the two were talking, they heard the hatch on the third floor open.

The moonlight in the night seemed to fall on the man at once, and Yingying swirled among his clothes.

"If you are blind, dare to rob the ships of the imperial court?" Li Xuanyi, who was on the third floor, stood on the side of the ship and said loudly.

The sound of a bell chime was heard far away in this silent night.

There was silence for a while.

Liang Yan looked at it by the moonlight, and the boats blocking the river were not big, but there were dozens of them. Each small boat had more or less five to seven or eight people.

People who make a living on the water are like fish when they enter the water.

And the boat is the most flexible on the water.

This is a gorge, and the ships of the imperial court can only pass one by one, and they are blocking here, and the guards on the ships behind them may not be able to step forward to increase their number even if they see the enemy's situation.

What's more, with a big ship in the way, they may not be able to see the situation ahead.

"We are also helpless to make a living, there are old and young, how many mouths are waiting to eat! You don't have to scare us with the court, let's get out of the way when we take the money, and we will never be embarrassed! The sound of the other party shouting came from the river.

Shangguan Xi shook his head slightly, "It's really new, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he dared to come up and rob the ship without even stepping on the plate clearly!" ”

Liang Yan looked at the splint on the first floor, and said helplessly: "On our ship, there are not many guards, and they are not a sailor who is good at water warfare. The boat behind can't pass, and if it really starts, it's not necessarily who suffers! Although there was a ship behind them, it was impossible for them to rob it, but it would not be appropriate to injure the people on this ship. ”

Li Xuanyi stood on the third floor and commanded the people on the deck: "Light the lights and light the flag!" ”

The people on the deck immediately lit several lamps and hung them high, unfurling the flag of the imperial court that had fallen in the night.

Facing the night breeze on the river, the pennant hunted and hunted.

On the opposite side of the boat, there was silence for a while, but the small boat in front of the big ship did not get out of the way.

"Why, when they saw the banner of the imperial court, they still refused to give way? Is it possible to eat the ambition leopard guts? Do you still want to go against the court? Shangguan Xi muttered in a low voice.

"Xu still don't believe it, right?" Liang Yan looked at the sides of the canyon that was pitch black in the night.

The occasional birdsong comes from the mountains and forests, and it looks particularly terrifying in this gloomy night.

"I've long heard that there are caravans in the name of the imperial court to scare people, are you stupid?" Suddenly, a different person on the opposite boat shouted, "Big brother, don't talk nonsense with them, these two big boats have been robbed, and you won't have to worry about the future." ”

When Li Xuanyi heard this, he flew down the three-story side of the ship and landed firmly on the deck, "Turn on the lights and tell the boat behind to retreat!" Prepare your arrows, prepare for the attack! ”

His voice commanded without any panic.

Tell the big ship at the back to retreat, and the ship at the front to retreat to a slightly more open place, not to be subject to the mouth of the gorge, so that the ship behind can meet the ship in front.

The people on the boat in front only need to resist the attack of the water thieves before they can respond.

Liang Yan closed her eyes and thought about it, this section of the Guangtong Canal seems to be very narrow, go back, it will take a long time to retreat to an open place, right? And going backward is against the current, and it is against the wind. Boating by manpower alone is not fast.

She opened her eyes to the deck and the side of the ship as they drew their bows and arrows and prepared to attack.

Just such a small person, not necessarily water.

If the thieves get into the water, they will have nothing to do.

I really didn't expect that in this year, I would encounter a thief who dared to rob the imperial court's ships.

It's too daring, isn't it?

Li Xuanyi was about to order someone to release arrows.

But I suddenly heard a voice standing on the side of the second-floor boat shouting: "Friends on the zygote, put the bright spots!" If you don't have a good idea, is it a new springboard? ”

As soon as these words came out, both parties were stunned.

Liang Yan looked at Shangguan Xi with his hands on his lips and shouting at the water thief in surprise.

She's shouting black words! Legendary jargon, right?

Who is this Shangguan Xi?

Li Xuanyi, who was standing on the first deck, also looked up in slight surprise and looked at Shangguan Xi standing in the moonlight.
