Chapter 51: A chance encounter in Qiyun Temple

"Childe, your tea is cold, let's go back to the inn." A boy of about thirteen years old opened his mouth immaturely.

"Okay, let's go." The man in white said lightly, and then went out of the private room and went downstairs to attract the attention of many guests, but this person is a beautiful man, if he says that his appearance is not inferior to the first beautiful man in the country of Yunshang.

I saw the man holding the jade flute, gentle and elegant and smiling and nodding at everyone, which attracted many women's hearts. The little boy on the side rolled his eyes, and Nunu said unhappily: "Childe, don't you be so charming, okay, all those who attract bees and butterflies all day long are rotten peach blossoms." ”

"Ruofeng, it seems that this son usually spoils you too much, and even I dare to teach you a lesson?" The man in white played with the jade flute in his hand.

"Childe, let's ask the divine doctor to treat the old lady this time, you don't go to the medical hall, but you are here to taste tea."

"The medical hall will definitely go, this son has to listen carefully, whether the world's first divine doctor really deserves his name, if it is a quack doctor, then Ben Gongzi's sword is only afraid that there will be one more dead soul."

"But, Childe, can you hear about it here?"

"Of course, tomorrow accompany me to Qiyun Temple first, and then go to the medical hall."

"Yes. Childe, what about me now? ”

"Let's go back to the inn." The man said lightly.

Zhenguo Mansion.

At midnight, everyone had already fallen asleep, but a few people in black broke into the Zhenguo Mansion by climbing over the wall by moonlight. It seems that the person who came was deliberately trying to attract the attention of the people in the house, Xiahou Aoxiang is a person who practices martial arts, and his hearing is naturally more sensitive than ordinary people. Whispered to the people beside him: "Madam, I'll go out to have a look, don't you go out." After saying that, he got up and took the long sword at the head of the bed and walked out of the room.

"Who are you? dared to break into the town at night. Xiahou Aoxiang said sharply. But the person who came just didn't say anything, and he didn't really do anything, and it seemed that there was more of a mentality to amuse you, but when Xiahou Aoxiang was chasing the man in black, I saw the man in black suddenly turn around and sprinkle some white powder on the door of Xiahou Aoxiang's face, Xiahou Aoxiang flew to fight with him, but he was soon defeated.

"Who are you?" Xiahou Jingqi also dared to come when he heard the voice, only to see that the man in black did not fight, flew out, and disappeared into the night.

Xiahou Jingqi turned around and saw his father lying on the ground, and shouted anxiously: "Dad, Dad, wake up." And Xiahou Aoxiang just opened his eyes and fainted.

Xiahou Jingqi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly carried his father back to the room, "Jingqi, what's wrong with your father?" Mrs. Xiahou asked anxiously.

"Mother, it looks like my father is poisoned. Isn't there an antidote pill sent by Ruo Yi at home? Hurry up and give it to my father, and I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask Ruoyi to come over. ”

"Okay, the pills are in the drawer of the cabinet opposite. You also go and change your clothes, and you can't go with your shirt on. Madame Xiahou instructed.

"Yes, mother. Hurry up and give Daddy medicine. Xiahou Jingqi gave her father medicine, and after a while, he woke up.

"Dad, you're awake. Wait a minute, I'll pick up Ruoyi and show it to you. ”

"No, I already feel much better, Ruoyi's medical skills are not inferior to your aunt's. This medicine is really in charge, it's already late, Ruoyi has to be busy with the affairs of the hospital during the day, let her rest well at night, and pick it up tomorrow. Xiahou Aoxiang said weakly.

"Dad, are you poisoned, it's better to take Ruoyi over to take a look, or we won't be at ease."

"Isn't it okay for me to do this, let's pick up Ruoyi tomorrow morning. I'm just curious about why someone attacked the Zhenguo Mansion at night, and the people who came didn't seem to want to fight me head-on, just blindly dodged, and then poisoned me while I was unprepared. The most important thing is to find out who did it, otherwise I'll be fine this time, and next time they will be even worse. ”

"Well, dad thinks about it. I'll go check it out, and my dad can rest assured. ”

"Okay, you can go rest too, you have to be on duty tomorrow morning." Xiahou Aoxiang waved his hand, and a room of people retreated.

Mrs. Xiahou watched everyone retreat, and said softly, "Master, don't you really matter?" I think it's better to let Yi'er come over and ask you for a pulse, the concubine is really worried about your comfort. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, madam. I'm a martial arts practitioner, I'm in good health, if you don't worry, just send someone to pick up Yi'er tomorrow, okay, go to bed early. Xiahou Aoxiang patted his wife's hand and said softly.

Everyone in the house knows that Xiahou Guogong and his wife Plaice are deeply affectionate and loving husband and wife. For so many years, he has never taken a concubine, Xiahou Jingqi is his only son, and the future title will naturally be inherited by him. But he still has a few younger brothers, who are also coveting the position of the Duke of Zhenguo, and someone wants to get the title of the Duke of Zhenguo to buy it. Bad. Kill. Human? When Xiahou Aoxiang thought of this, he really didn't dare to think about it anymore, although he inherited the title and separated from his younger brother, he had always been kind to them. If it was really them, it would be chilling.

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Xiahou couldn't wake up her husband on the side, so she hurriedly called the maid outside the door and called Xiahou Jingqi.

"Jingqi, your father is unconscious now, and his breath is very weak, go and pick up Yi'er." Mrs. Xiahou cried.

"Yes, mother, don't worry, I'll go." After saying that, he went to the stable and rode straight to Renxin Hall.

In the Renxin Hall, several doctors were busy, and Ling Ruohui was practicing a set of peculiar acupuncture techniques in front of a portrait full of acupuncture points on the human body.

"Miss, the slave has been watching you practice this set of acupuncture for a long time, and yesterday's set is even more strange, the pills you usually refine can already cure many diseases, what are you doing practicing these strange acupuncture methods." Mu'er on the side was puzzled.

"Mu'er, pills can save people, but some diseases can't be cured by pills alone, you need to cooperate with my acupuncture."

"The slave maid is distressed Miss you, take such a long needle, and sometimes prick yourself, or next time you prick the slave maid, anyway, the slave maid is not afraid of pain if her skin is rough and thick."

"You, I'm still distressed to pierce you." Ling Ruoyi smiled and knocked Mu'er's forehead and said.

"Ruoyi, Ruoyi, come with me." Before seeing him, he heard his voice first, and when Ling Ruoyi walked out of the inner room, he happened to see Xiahou Jingqi rushing in in a hurry. I saw that Xiahou Jingqi didn't say a word, grabbed Ling Ruoyi's arm and walked out.

"Oh, cousin, what's the matter, look at your urgency."

"Human life is at stake, my father was attacked last night, you come with me, I'll tell you on the way."

"Okay, Mu'er will get my medicine box." When Mu'er heard this, she hurriedly took the medicine box and handed it to Ling Ruoxi.

Xiahou Jingqi first helped Ling Ruoxuan on the back of the horse, and then turned over on the horse himself, and galloped towards the Zhenguo Mansion with a whip.

"Cousin, how did my uncle get poisoned?" Ling Ruoyi said anxiously.

"Last night, someone broke into the Zhenguo Mansion at night, and Daddy fought with him, and he didn't want the other party to poison him, so he gave Daddy your antidote pill, and he was fine at the time, but he was unconscious this morning."

"Oh. That's right. Ling Ruoyi couldn't help but frown. She knew that King Qi had led his troops to exterminate the Slaughter Immortal Fang before, and the Bone Eroding Poison Immortal was also imprisoned in the secret prison of King Qi's Mansion, and he would definitely not come out to harm people again, so the person who could make such a strange poison might be the descendant or senior brother of the Bone Eroding Poison Immortal.

Zhenguo Mansion.

Xiahou Aoxiang's face was pale blue, his lips were black, and he was unconscious. The old lady and Mrs. Xiahou on the side had already cried into tears. When everyone saw Ling Ruoyi coming, they wiped their tears and looked at her with expectant eyes.

"Yi'er has seen her grandmother and aunt." Ling Ruoyi bowed and saluted.

"Excuse me, good boy, look at your uncle, he ......," said Madame Xiahou and was about to cry again.

"Grandmother and aunt, please rest assured, Yi'er will definitely cure your uncle." After that, he walked quickly to the side of the bed, raised his jade finger lightly, and saw a pale green line on Xiahou Aoxiang's wrist, and his heart was indeed poisoned, but it was not ordinary poison.

"Grandmother and aunt, please rest assured, fortunately, I took the antidote pill in time last night, my uncle will be fine, and everything will be left to Yi'er." Ling Ruoyi comforted softly.

"Yi'er, what herbs do you need?" Xiahou Jingqi hurriedly asked.

"Other medicinal materials are not difficult, there must be medicinal materials in the north and south, but you still need ice toads."

"Ice Toad?" The crowd was puzzled.

"Yes, the ice toad can suck out the toxins in the body, and it is a holy product for detoxification, but the ice toad will disappear once it is consumed excessively, so it is a rare and good product, even if it is not necessarily in the palace."

"What then?"

"I'll figure out a way about the ice toad, you first give one to my uncle according to my prescription, and the other pair is boiled into a medicinal soup, soak my uncle naked in the potion, and wait for me to take the ice toad back."

"I'll go get the ice toad, where do you tell me?"

"There is a thousand-year-old ice cave in the mountain behind Qiyun Temple, I think there may be one or two there."

"Okay, then I'll go now." Xiahou Jingqi said that he was about to leave.

"No, I don't know martial arts, if those people know that my uncle is fine, maybe they will poison him again, you have to guard in the mansion, don't let them do it again, leave the matter of the ice toad to me." Ling Ruoyi's eyes were firm.

"Okay, then I'll send someone with you."

"No need, I only take Mengchun and Zuidong to Qiyun Temple to pray for my uncle's early well-being, so that it will not attract the attention of the enemy in the shadows, if I bring other people, I am afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry and destroy the ice toad."

"Jingqi, what Yi'er said is right. But it takes a day and a night for a girl's family to go to Qiyun Temple, what if you encounter danger? Mrs. Xiahou said anxiously.

"Auntie, don't worry, although I don't know martial arts, my silver needle can be used as a secret weapon for self-defense."

"Then you have to be careful along the way. Ice Toad can't find it, we can think of other ways, you must not have an accident. ”

"Auntie, don't worry. I suggest that the whole whole province should take the detoxification pill, and the general poison can be cured. After finishing speaking, he turned around and hurried out of the house.

Back at the medical hall, Ling Ruoyi just hurriedly explained some trivial things, and hurried to Qiyun Temple......
