Chapter 018: Escape from the capital

Shen Che turned around and watched Qin Yuankai slowly walk towards him, with a three-foot long sword pinned to his waist, a burly figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a powerful coercion was revealed all over his body.

This is the breath that has been experienced on the battlefield, and it is the breath that is closest to death.

Obviously, this Qin Yuankai's temperament is not very clever, even if he can be as famous as Gu Qingming, but after all, he can't surpass the prestige of Gu Qingming, the god of war general, and he can't be like Gu Qingming, and he can't put the breath on his body freely.

For Gu Qingming, if he wasn't on the battlefield, he would be an ordinary person who had washed all the lead, and no one would associate him with the famous God of War general. But once he is stubborn and stubborn, and he steps on the warhorse, then he is the most heroic warrior, and he is the object of fear of the enemy.

"Who should this king be, it turns out to be General Qin!" Shen Che looked at Qin Yuankai and said with a smile, "This king was in a hurry to go out to find Doctor Xue to see the sixth brother, but he misunderstood the queen mother's kindness, it was really a sin." ”

"His Royal Highness King Yi is polite, the Queen Mother ordered not to let several highnesses go out of the city without permission, but it is really for the safety of several highnesses. Some time ago, there was a wave of bandits on the outskirts of Beijing, and they were ordered to clear them, and there are still a few bandits who have not been caught, and they are really afraid of hurting His Highness. Qin Yuankai came up with a high-sounding reason, but it made Shen Che speechless.

In front of so many soldiers defending the city, Qin Yuankai said that there were rogues in the suburbs of Beijing, that is, so many people were made witnesses.

If Shen Che insisted on going out, in case he was accidentally injured or killed, then Empress Dowager Qin could just push this matter on Liukou's body and completely dissociate herself from the relationship. If he wants to prevent the assassination of the killer, he can only take these soldiers with him, which means that he has to be under the surveillance of these soldiers at all times, and there is no room for his own actions.

Shen Che sneered in his heart, and couldn't help but praise this Qin general for being really kind. But he remained silent on the surface, and said: "This is not simple? I have always heard that General Qin is brave and good at fighting, and he is a pioneer on the battlefield, and he is good at martial arts.

"Your Highness commands that you should obey your orders. Qin Yuankai was waiting for Shen Che's words, so he agreed without hesitation.

The guards opened the door and let him go, Qin Yuankai accompanied Shen Che out of the city gate, and the two walked one after the other, Shen Che was fast, Qin Yuankai was also fast, and they were always two or three steps apart.

Shen Che estimated in his heart how likely it was that he would escape from Qin Yuankai's hands, after all, Qin Yuankai's martial arts were not below him, if he fought hard, he might not be able to gain the upper hand, and he still had to outwit him.

Thinking of this, Shen Che's heart was slightly settled, and he walked towards Divine Doctor Xue's residence.

Doctor Xue lives in a village ten miles away in the western suburbs of the capital, this Zhuangzi is not small, but there is only one family within a radius of 100 miles. I heard that all the people in Zhuangzi moved to the city, but only Doctor Xue didn't want to leave his former residence, so he didn't move.

Shen Che walked quickly, and after a while, he found the Zhuangzi where Doctor Xue was located. Standing at the door of the house, Shen Che took out the fan in his sleeve and knocked on the door unhurriedly, with the same time in between, this frequency was like a drumbeat.

A trace of doubt flashed in Qin Yuankai's heart, and then asked: "Your Highness seems to be very familiar with this Xue Divine Doctor's mansion, I haven't been to the capital for so many years, and now there is no one to lead the way, but I can find it accurately." ”

Shen Che knew what Qin Yuankai meant, it was nothing more than doubting him, and he naturally had a way to deal with it: "General Qin, this king is not a fool, there is only one way to come out of the West City Gate, and there is only one Zhuangzi nearby, if you can't find it like this, then this king has lived in vain for so many years." What's more, although there are many people in this Zhuangzi, only this household has sprinkled some chicken feed at the door. Since there is only one person living in Zhuangzi, these fresh chicken feeds must have been left by Xue Shenyi. ”

Qin Yuankai looked around, and didn't seem to find anything wrong with Shen Che's words, so he had to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart and watch Shen Che knock on the door.

It didn't take long for the door to open, and a bony hand came out of the crack in the door, opening first one door and then another, and seeing the two people standing outside, he said in a slightly hoarse voice and asked:

"Who are you?

"May I ask if you are Divine Doctor Xue? My surname is Shen, and I came specifically to find Divine Doctor Xue to treat my sixth brother. Shen Che arched his hand and spoke.

But Divine Doctor Xue seemed to be unclear in his mind, and muttered to himself: "Oh, see a doctor, then come in, pay the money first and then check the pulse." ”

"Doctor Xue, I don't want to see a doctor, I want to ask you to go to the capital with me, the patient is in the capital. Shen Che looked at Qin Yuankai with some confusion, as if asking him what was going on.

But Qin Yuankai shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't understand either.

Shen Che walked in, came to Divine Doctor Xue's side, and continued to speak. But Doctor Xue turned a deaf ear and only cared about doing what was in his hands, and then said, "If I can't see the silver, I won't be able to diagnose the pulse." ”

"General Qin, is this old man really a miracle doctor?, does he have a problem with his brain, how can he not tell him clearly?" Shen Che asked.

"I don't know if I am lowly, but it is said that this crazy old man is Doctor Xue, who has excellent medical skills and medicine to cure the disease. "Qin Yuankai has lived in Beijing for a long time, so he has naturally heard about this old man.

Shen Che had no choice, so he took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, handed it to Doctor Xue, and said, "Can you go with me now?"

When Doctor Xue saw the silver ticket, he immediately snatched it, then stuffed it into his arms, pulled Shen Che and ran in the direction of the capital. Unexpectedly, this old man looked very thin, but he ran very fast, and even Qin Yuankai almost didn't react.

However, a moment later, Qin Yuankai caught up with Shen Che and Divine Doctor Xue, and the three of them returned to the city the same way.

After entering the city, Qin Yuankai was relieved, and did not continue to follow Shen Che, but returned to his post to do things. He watched Shen Che and Divine Doctor Xue go farther and farther, and the last doubts in his heart disappeared.

Perhaps, he was overly worried?

What he didn't expect was that after Shen Che and Divine Doctor Xue left his sight, they didn't go directly to the Royal Courtyard, but came to a remote alley, and saw that there was no one around before they spoke.

"Subordinates, see Your Highness. Divine Doctor Xue's old and indistinct voice disappeared, replaced by the voice of a middle-aged man full of energy.

"Did you bring anything with you?" asked Shen Che.

"Carry it with me all the time, just to help His Highness one day. Divine Doctor Xue said, "Your Highness should change your clothes first, disguise yourself as a subordinate, and go out from the south city gate." Dingyuan Village, twenty miles outside the south city gate, there is a hunter named Ding Dahu in it, some time ago he went to the mountain to hunt and was bitten by a tiger on the leg, and his subordinates will go to change his medicine every day, and the guards at the city gate will not suspect it. ”

"Thank you. Shen Che said, "After you change your clothes, you should go to the royal courtyard, find the Jade King with this fan, and diagnose his pulse." The sixth brother is not in good health, you have always had the name of a miracle doctor, it would be good if you could help him a thing or two. ”

"The subordinates obeyed. Divine Doctor Xue said, then quickly changed Shen Che's clothes, changed his appearance a little with the disguise technique, dressed Shen Che as his own, and then handed him the medicine box.

Divine Doctor Xue's disguise technique is not a human skin mask, the kind that only exists in legends, which is obviously unrealistic. He only used very simple medicinal powder and pollen, combined with the woman's daily dressing up of her face, and slightly modified it to make people's faces look like them, rather than exactly the same.

After everything was prepared, the two parted ways in the alley, and Shen Che walked towards the South City Gate as Divine Doctor Xue, and used the excuse given by Divine Doctor Xue to get out of the South City Gate smoothly.

Divine Doctor Xue is a chess piece arranged by Shen Che in the capital a long time ago, responsible for observing the movements of the Empress Dowager Qin, although he can't touch the core of Ning Palace, but it is better to be safe, so he has not been noticed for so many years.

And this time, Shen Che entered Beijing to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, and from the day he entered Beijing, Doctor Xue entered and exited the south gate in the name of giving medicine to Ding Dahu, and the soldiers guarding the city also verified that there was indeed such a person as Ding Dahu, so Doctor Xue was not suspicious at all.

No one knew that when Doctor Xue gave Ding Dahu medicine, he also used an herb that delayed the recovery of the wound, and the longer this herb was applied, the slower the wound would heal, so Ding Dahu's injury had only dragged on for so many days.

The fundamental purpose of Doctor Xue in doing all these things was to prevent Shen Che from being trapped in the capital and unable to get out. If Shen Che was lucky, and the Empress Dowager Qin didn't find anything wrong and let him go, then Divine Doctor Xue could let Ding Dahu's leg injury recover quickly after Shen Che left, but if this situation occurred, then Ding Dahu's injury would become the best excuse for Shen Che to go out of the city.

The Empress Dowager Qin in the deep palace and Qin Yuankai at the West City Gate didn't know that Shen Che had already gotten rid of the people who were following him, and went out of the city under the guise of Divine Doctor Xue, and Divine Doctor Xue once again gave himself a makeover, and went to the royal palace with another face to check the pulse of the Jade King Shen Hu.

In this way, Qin Yuankai watched Shen Che and Divine Doctor Xue enter the city with his own eyes, and Divine Doctor Xue did go to the Royal Palace to diagnose the pulse of the Jade King, as for Shen Che's whereabouts, although he didn't know, he thought that Shen Che was still in the city.

Because no matter which door Shen Che went out from, he would be stopped by the guards and then report to him as quickly as possible. But now, the guards at the South City Gate didn't know that there was a Divine Doctor Xue who had gone to the Royal Courtyard, so they naturally let Shen Che out of the city gate.

At this point, Shen Che used a trick to escape the capital and leave the control of the Empress Dowager Qin.

It is foreseeable that with the departure of Shen Che, a bloody storm will be set off on the land of Daning, and the competition between the relatives led by the Empress Dowager Qin and the Shen royal family will become more and more intense.

But Shen Che, who left, didn't know that at this moment, Jiang Yi had become a prisoner in the hands of the Empress Dowager Qin, and there was no hope of escaping at all.
