Chapter 50: Is it worth it for the king of Guangling to fight for her?
Lao Langzhong didn't answer, just pushed the full wine in front of Xin Yi.
"Let's have a drink."
Xin Yi chuckled, "I drank it in the red furnace yesterday, and my head still hurts." β
"Afraid I'm poisoned?"
The old man picked up the glass of wine in front of Xin Yi and drank it all happily.
"Aren't you looking for someone to ask for a "Brief Recipe"? What's so good about that book? Patchwork together, just coax the emperor's stuff. When you have a good drink, the old man will not only tell you the truth, but also give you better books......"
Xin Yi's heart jumped, "You mean? β
The old man narrowed his eyes, "The Remnants of the Medicine King, as well as the "Chen's Materia Medica" written by the old man all his life, heh, those medical officers in the Hanlin Academy, most of them are just the medical prescriptions compiled by the old man back then......"
He's very egotistical.
Xin Yi respects such medical masters.
Without hesitation, she took the glass in front of her.
"Respect for the old man."
The aroma of wine came to his nose, and Xin Yi wrinkled his nose.
"Daughter Red." Cui Langzhong sighed faintly, "I buried it under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard many years ago, and I originally wanted to wait for the day of my Feng'er's wedding before coming out to feast guests...... Cheap for you. β
Xin Yi's heart was heavy, "The younger generation is blessed." β
The legendary daughter red is not so delicious, a little spicy throat, and it goes on the head in one bite.
Xin Yi choked and coughed.
Lao Langzhong was full for her again.
θΎε€·ζζοΌβζθΎι εδΈε₯½οΌεδΈθ½εδΊγ β
Lao Langzhong smiled, did not force her, opened the medicine box under the wooden table, and took out two thin medical books.
"The remnants of the Medicine King and Chen's Materia Medica are incomplete." He said: "The missing part may have been left in the fire, and I have no intention of adding to it over the years, so I let it go." β
Xin Yi took it and flipped through it.
"Why do you want to give it to me?"
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was full of exhaustion.
"You just be me, and I'm still unwilling."
After that, he didn't look at Xin Yi, and sighed to answer her previous question.
"The old man didn't choose a special date. If you want to blame, you can only blame the unfair fate, on the day of the wedding, you ran into Zhangjiacun and gave birth to the first strange baby - hum! It took the old man ten years to come up with such a method that he didn't know what to do, how could he calculate the time for you? β
"By chance?"
"Yes. By coincidence. Your biggest misfortune is to marry Zhang Xun, and for a man who doesn't like you, you tried your best to commit suicide by throwing yourself into the river. β
Xin Yi asked very naturally: "Did I really commit suicide by throwing myself into the river?" β
Lao Langzhong smiled in a low voice, "Otherwise, who will kill you?" β
Thinking about it, what Chen Chusheng did was a long plan, and what he wanted was for Zhangjiacun to cut off his children and grandchildren. How can you expose yourself in such a short period of time? has no grudges and no grudges against Zhang Xiaoniang, and really can't take risks to kill her.
Xin Yi nodded, no longer dwelling on the matter.
"So, I stumbled upon the strychnine and disrupted your revenge plan. What are you going to do with me? β
"If you marry into Zhangjia Village, you are the Zhang family. It stands to reason that you deserve to die, too. β
In the candle flame, the old man's eyes were as black as if they were dyed with a layer of thick ink, and the ghostly spirits living in the middle roared and shouted in his memories, as if he wanted to break free from the prison of reason and jump out-
"But you are so good at medicine, I don't want you to die......"
Xin Yi pursed his lips slightly, "You are reluctant to let me die, but you arrange for the king butcher and the porter to kill me?" β
The old man waved his sleeves and snorted coldly, "When I knew you, you didn't guard against me." It's easy for me to kill you, it won't take so much effort, and I'll be in the hands of others......"
Xin Yi's heart moved.
"I told you the secret of the strychnine, and the king butcher sneaked into my room. I asked you to sell the Imperial Medicine Ice Tiger in the Palace, and I turned around and was in distress at the Yunqi Bridge...... It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? β
"At this point, the old man can't lie." Lao Langzhong raised his eyebrows, stared at her and said, "I don't know why you suddenly changed your mind, but if you want to say that you were a person before, you can't say that you can't offend anyone else, and I don't know......"
Xin Yi chuckled, "Maybe." β
The old man chuckled, not laughing at Xin Yi, but also laughing at himself.
"However, you imply that my hand will pull the erhu and dig up the strychnine tree, and the design will lure me to the bait...... It really made me murderous. β
The person who can play the erhu is Chen Chusheng, not Cui You. Xin Yi dug up the strychnine tree, and his plan could no longer be carried out......
"Little lady, you drove me to a dead end."
A gust of wind blew, the broken half of the wooden door of the Medicine King Tower was blown to a bang, the tongue of fire in the candle flickered wildly, and the light in the old man's cloudy eyes faded little by little.
"When people get old, their hearts become kind. And so, I haven't killed you......"
Xin Yi frowned slightly, and there were still many doubts in her heart, but before she could ask, a screaming voice suddenly came from outside the tower. η΄§ζ₯ηοΌζΈ ζ°η马θΉδΌ΄ηεεηιͺι£εΌεΈθζ₯οΌδ»Ώδ½ζεεδΈι©¬ε¨ι©°ιͺγ
"Quick, fence up, don't let them run."
Xin Yi and Chen Chusheng glanced at each other.
"The man you called?"
Chen Chusheng laughed.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that the old man would still look at the wrong person when he was dying. I wanted to spare your life, but if so, then give me a burial. β
Xin Yi didn't know who was coming from outside, he stood up and was about to explain, but he felt that his body shook, and the old man in front of him suddenly became two, three...... Ghosting is enough.
She subconsciously looked at the wine on the table, her expression fixed on her face.
"If you don't want to kill me, why are you drugged?"
"It is indispensable to guard against others." Chen Chusheng smiled gloomily, his voice was hoarse like a night owl, and he pulled Xin Yi's arm, and pulled out the dagger on her waist and put it against her neck.
"Come with me!"
Xin Yi had two big heads, his head was dizzy and his eyes were dazzled, as if he had been abolished by someone who had lost his martial arts, and he couldn't use half of his strength, so he could only let Chen Chusheng walk along the wooden ladder to the second floor of the Medicine King Tower......
ο½
Outside the Medicine King Tower.
The cold wind swept the snow and sprinkled it down one after another.
Cao Yi was dressed in majestic iron armor, wearing a tasseled helmet, hanging a fish bag at his waist, and a long sword in his palm clasped with one hand, looking at Zhang Yaozhuo who was coming from a horse not far away, his handsome eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Cao Du's commander, so coincidental?"
Before Zhang Yaozhuo arrived, the laughter had already been heard loudly.
This Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion is only more than forty years old, and because Zhang Guifei is favored, he is valued by the emperor, and he is proud. And the two ladies in the palace have never been harmonious, and the two Zhang Cao families, who are relatives, are also-for-tat and incompatible.
Cao Yi arched his hand, "Lord Zhang is glad to meet." β
"Why did Commander Cao Du come?"
Zhang Yaozhuo smiled, "Is it difficult, is it an appointment with a beautiful woman?" β
"Why did Lord Zhang come, why did I come?"
Cao Yi's voice was cold, and he said slowly: "I have to hear that the water ghosts of the Bianhe River are doing evil, so I came here to find out...... If this is the case, then the water ghost case of Kaifeng Mansion is an unjust, false and wrongful case, and the notice issued by Anmin is also a bunch of nonsense, which is pure fraud, deception and concealment! β
His words were quite serious, but Zhang Yaozhuo didn't care.
"Oh? Why did this official hear that the criminal colluded with the important ministers of the imperial court to create a bloody case in Zhangjia Village to disrupt our Great Song Sheji? Hehe, I don't know who this court official is? β
Zhang Yaozhuo did not leave any affection in his words, and pointed out that Cao Yi colluded with gangsters.
Cao Yi laughed warmly, no longer paying attention to Zhang Yaozhuo's provocation, waved his hand, and commanded the forbidden army.
"Pass the order down, surround the Medicine King Tower, and don't let anyone slip through the net."
Zhang Yaozhuo glanced at him coldly and lowered his voice.
"Someone! Fence the Medicine King Tower, and if no one is caught, no bird is allowed to fly out. β
The two of them were on the bar outside the tower.
The situation in the tower is even more tense.
The Yaowang Tower was struck by lightning before, dilapidated and decayed, and no one repaired it. When you step on the wooden ladder with your feet, you make a creaking sound, as if you will break at any moment.
Xin Yi's body was weak, and he was dragged by Chen Chusheng, going up one level at a time.
The cold wind was biting, the tip of the dagger was on her neck, and the cold sweat had already soaked her back.
Chen Chusheng was getting old, and he was gradually a little out of breath, but he didn't mean to stop.
"Imperial Physician Chen, I respect you as a person and sympathize with your plight......
"Humph!"
ββ¦β¦ But there is a debtor and a master, I have nothing to do with your family's blood hatred, and I have been carrying the black pot for you for many years......"
Xin Yi diverted his attention, Chen Chusheng said "ouch", and the hand holding her suddenly ached and let go weakly.
A scream!
Xin Yi's body lost his support, he couldn't stand, and his whole person fell straight down-
A figure scurried through the darkness under the wooden ladder.
With a bang, Xin Yi slammed into his body.
Both of them fell on the wooden ladder and rolled down.
"Ninth Master!"
"The King of the County!"
In the empty tower hall, there were exclamations from Duan Sui and Cheng Cang.
Xin Yi's body clanged on the wooden ladder, and there was no way to control the speed, only to feel a pair of strong arms dragging her, and the next moment she threw herself into the man's arms.
Then, the two of them rolled down together.
It wasn't until she fell to the ground that she heard Fu Jiuqu's cold voice of gritting her teeth.
"Did you hurt your stomach?"
Xin Yi shook his head.
This was the second time she had smashed on Fu Jiuqu's body, and Fu Jiuqu's reaction was just as annoyed as the first time.
"Get up."
Xin Yi was on him, breathing unevenly, and it hurt everywhere.
"I don't have the strength, I can't move."
The little lady has a delicate body, and her voice falls on her neck shallowly...... Fu Jiuqu's body tensed slightly, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart, this woman wanted to seduce him when she found an opportunity-
Fu Jiuqu pushed her away, his voice cold and ruthless.
"Idiot, let you drink it?"
"How can you get his words if you don't drink it?"
The candle flame crackled softly.
Xin Yi looked at Fu Jiuqu's pale face, struggling to get up from him, and suddenly smelled a burning smell in the air, "Not good!" β
Fu Jiuqu's face changed.
"Hahahahaha......"
Above the tower hall, there was the sound of Chen Chusheng's wild laughter.
"The king of the county fought for this woman's life, but do you know that she has been deceiving you all along? She's not pregnant, she's just taking advantage of your feelings for Zhang Xun and making you use it for her......"
