Yu Xiurong quickly helped Yun Chu wrap up his rotten head, gently touched Yun Chu's forehead with his hand and said, "It will be swollen here, and you won't be able to see guests for four or five days." ”

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Ying Gong's birthday is just two days away, I should still go." ”

Yu Xiurong sighed and said, "Master Xuanzang also hopes that you will protect yourself for the time being?" That's what hit you? ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "No, Master Xuanzang thinks that I should be brave and diligent, and kill these useless old guys as soon as possible." ”

Yu Xiurong frowned and said: "He is a monk, how can his murderous intent be so heavy, this is not like what Master Xuanzang said." ”

Yun Chu didn't explain again, gentleness, Di Renjie's perspective on things is completely different from the angle from which Yu Xiurong looks at things, and the angle from which Master Xuanzang looks at things.

Yun Chu, gentle, Di Renjie was completely shocked by the reputation of the military god that Li Ji had maintained for decades, and he always felt that in an instant, Chang'an would be like a mountain of corpses and a river of blood.

This kind of scene is definitely something that Yun Chu and the three of them are unwilling, because they know that Li Ji can indeed do this kind of thing.

Master Xuanzang is different here, he is looking at Li Ji with a kind of mentality of a superior, so the conclusions he comes to are very different from others.

Yun Chu was hit with a stick, and this stick completely wiped out his fear of Li Ji.

Especially after hearing that Li Ji began to prolong his life and look for a way to live forever, the majestic image of the Tang Empire's generation of military gods collapsed in Yun Chu's heart.

He always thought that Li Ji was the pride of the Chinese people, and it was the kind that could not be blasphemed, that is, with a character like him, the originally arrogant and murderous aliens had to bow down at the feet of the Han people again and again.

Such a person himself is meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future......

Therefore, after being woken up by Xuanzang's stick, his feelings for Li Ji became a collapse, from the respect for this hero when he was studying a long, long time ago, to the worship after coming to Datang to see this person in person, and then slowly turned into fear, until now pity.

Respect, worship, it took many years for Yun Chu to accumulate, and fear to pity is as fast as lightning.

The mood has changed, the way of acting has also changed, if Yun Chu's memory is not wrong, this time Li Ji's birthday should be the last healthy, happy, and guest-like birthday in his life.

Therefore, Yun Chu was going to attend Li Ji's birthday in person, bringing the most generous gifts, and bringing Li Si, Yun Jin, Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guangsi together.

Not only that, but he is also going to make a poem to dedicate to Li Ji, so that this person who does not deal with him, but has made great contributions to his own species, can enjoy the glory that belongs to him in the last days.

This time, he didn't have a sense of humiliation in his heart, on the contrary, he felt very happy, after all, he worshiped the Li Shimin who followed Tang Taizong Li Shimin to pacify the troubled times in all directions, return the world to peace, and hit Xue Yantuo twice, pacified the north of the moraine, broke the Eastern Turks, and Goguryeo opened up countless territories for the Tang Dynasty.

As for the current Li Ji, who let his grandson live for a few more years, the generals secretly helped him dig Cordyceps and were worried that Yun Chu would destroy it, so he couldn't see it, he was old, and it was inevitable to do a few stupid things.

As for Cordyceps, the Yun family still has some more, all of which are returned from Tibet by adventurers in Chang'an, just taking advantage of Li Ji's birthday this time to fry the value of Cordyceps, so that more Datang adventurers can go over there to have a look, anyway, the snow area is too important for China, even if it can't be recovered at present, getting more Tang people into the snow area should be conducive to ethnic integration.

"How many cordyceps do you have at home?" Yun Chu waited for Yu Xiurong to help him deal with the wound, and after wiping his face, he began to arrange.

"Less than ten catties, the old fairy sent two catties, and also sent two catties to Master Xuanzang, but Master Xuanzang returned it, saying that this thing is difficult to distinguish, he doesn't want it, the concubine doesn't like the stew made of this thing, Cui Yao and Cui's like it very much, and they have to use it to stew chicken every few days.

The two of them are mainly used in our family. ”

"Choose the best cordyceps and prepare a hundred sticks, each cordyceps is equipped with a small jade gourd, and every ten jade gourds are equipped with a jade box, and then ask the old fairy to make some cordyceps pill paste powder, after getting it, remember to use the kind of box that others can't afford to eat.

This time, our family's birthday gift to Yinggong is supported by cordyceps, and the rest can just get some longevity noodles and birthday cakes. ”

Yu Xiurong was embarrassed and said, "This is also Taihu Lake, right?" ”

Yun Chu looked at Yu Xiurong and said: "Our family doesn't take this thing seriously, I also took it back when I saw it, and I stewed soup for you as a big supplement, and the Yinggong Mansion is different."

For this broken thing, he mobilized troops and horses and sent henchmen and generals, and he also shocked me three times a day, so I simply gave it to Yinggong, lest I have a bad life in fear, and Yinggong can't sleep at night and is worried that I will rob him of cordyceps. ”

Yu Xiurong was stunned for a moment and said incomprehensibly: "Are you saying that this thing is very precious?" ”

Yun Chu sighed and said: "Ying Gong has learned his own medical skills, and his old man thinks that this thing has the effect of rejuvenating the dead......

Without waiting for Yun Chu to finish speaking, Yu Xiurong's face changed, he left the room in a hurry, and came back in a moment, grabbing seven or eight cordyceps in his hand and carefully placing them on the table: "It really works?" It's a pity that I was eaten more than half a catty by Cui Yao and Cui's two unknown people, and I feel distressed to death. ”

Yun Chu looked at Cui Yao, who came in with a casserole, and said to Yu Xiurong: "Just eat it for your own family, I don't eat it anyway." ”

Cui Yao walked in front of Yun Chu, swept her sleeves, and the cordyceps that Yu Xiurong put on the table were taken away by her, and turned around and left, Yu Xiurong wanted to take it, but Yun Chu pulled him and pressed him on the chair and said: "Send Steward Liu to the guild to collect all the Cordyceps back, this time I want to use the reputation of Yinggong to completely stir up the price of Cordyceps, and also let those wealthy families start to take a look at the guild, so that they can receive more tasks in the future and have one more way to live." ”

Yu Xiurong grabbed Yun Chu's sleeve and said, "Husband, this thing can't bring people back to life, right?" ”

Yun Chu pointed to Cui Yao, who was standing in the courtyard biting her tongue, and said to Cui: "You see that they have eaten for a year, do they look like they are rejuvenated?" ”

Yu Xiurong looked at her husband's hand, looked at it for a while, and said, "Except for becoming fatter, there is no change, but this should be the effect of those fat chickens they ate, right?" ”

Yun Chu nodded in agreement, he was hit by Xuanzang with a stick and his head was bleeding, but no one in the family cared, they should use Cordyceps to stew chicken, and they should play tricks, without half a bit of sadness.

It seems that he was born to be beaten by Master Xuanzang.

"There is cordyceps in the guild, don't the people of the Ying Mansion know about it?" After arranging the work of collecting cordyceps to the housekeeper Liu Yi, Yu Xiurong had some worries again.

Yun Chu said with a smile: "The people of Chang'an habitually think that the guild is our family's sphere of influence, including Yinggong. Our family is not close to the Ying Mansion, and people are worried that after dealing with the guild, it will cause misunderstanding in our family.

Of course, the Ying Mansion is also relatively proud, and is unwilling to deal with a group of rotten people such as beards, swordsmen, and rangers. ”

Yu Xiurong said disdainfully: "These people are really blind, don't you know that over the years, the guild has been constantly looking for new crops for the prince and collecting exotic flowers and plants for Sun Shenxian?"

Even if the Imperial Physician's Department wanted some precious medicinal materials, they would come to the guild to ask, but they ignored them like dead people, and made such a big deal for the sake of a little cordyceps. ”

Yun Chu sighed and said: "The bad problem of the broom self-cherishing, thinking that our family is the same as them, some good things are hidden like fate, and they are not known to others, and it is not the blessing of the Tang Dynasty to go on like this."

Okay, I'll take some cordyceps to Liang Jianfang's house first, which can be regarded as giving Yinggong a breath, lest the old guy get Cordyceps and end up with a cow. ”

The head was injured, the upper half of the face, especially the eyes, were swollen in the afternoon, and Yu Xiurong couldn't use the fart when he rolled the hard-boiled eggs.

Fortunately, seeing that Liang Jianfang didn't need to pay attention to any appearance, Yun Chu had a veil on his face, and he rode in a carriage in the hot weather, and entered Liang Jianfang's mansion in a ghostly manner, and he didn't get off at the gate.

Yun Chu's weirdness made Liang Jianfang very worried, although his grandson Liang Ying followed Yun Chu, and he personally had a lifelong relationship with Li Ji, anyway, he couldn't betray Li Ji in his life.

Therefore, Su Lie was specially pulled over as a witness, especially when he heard that Yun Chu was going to meet him in secret.

The process is very interesting, from the carriage leaving Jinchangfang, there are countless eyes staring, Yun Chu estimates, from the emperor, the empress, to the hundred horsemen, and many big families are staring at it.

Yun Chu was playful halfway through, and deliberately pulled the car window, revealing his strange appearance wearing a black veil......

Liang Jianfang has one foot less, and Su Lie's identity is special, so no one came to greet Yun Chu at all, and the housekeeper of Liang Jianfang's family saw Yun Chu wearing a veil and getting out of the carriage with a box in his mouth.

In his opinion, Yun Chu came here this time to force his family, an old man who was old and powerless, and had no power, to express his position.

After hesitating again and again, the old housekeeper who had followed Liang Jianfang all his life was embarrassed and said: "Junhou, it is Ying Gongzi who holds power in the Liang family now, and the old man has not asked about the world for a long time, and he is inseparable from the older generation such as Ying Gong. ”

Yun Chu sneered and said, "I came this time to send heaven and earth treasures to the old guy, and I heard that he even sent a few personal soldiers for this thing." , why didn't you come to my house to ask, now it's okay, I was pulled by Li Jingxuan, why bother. ”

Hearing that Yun Chu was here to deliver something, the boulder in the housekeeper's heart was immediately put down, everyone knew that Liang Jianfang had the grace of knowing Yun Chu, although Yun Chu's relationship with the rest of the military elders was a little stiff, but he never forgot Liang Jianfang, and he never stopped walking around during the New Year's holidays.

"It's just that why does the prince wear a veil?"

Yun Chu lifted the veil, revealing the upper half of his black and blue face and said, "I was taught a lesson by my elders, and I have no face to see people." ”

"Oh-" The butler looked at Yun Chu's rotten face, and his heart was completely put down.

Yun Chu followed the housekeeper into the hall of the Liang family, ripped off the veil, and exposed the swollen boss's head to Lao Liang and Lao Su.

Liang Jianfang looked at Yun Chu's bandaged head like a zongzi, then looked at his bruised eyebrows, gasped and said, "Who beat you so badly?" Xue Rengui? ”

At the same time, Su Lie also saw that Yun Chu's injury was real, and he thought of countless possibilities in an instant, sat up straight and stared at Yun Chu with sharp eyes, at this moment, he was really worried, this was caused by Ying Gong's action.

Yun Chu came to Liang Jianfang's broken foot and sat down, sighed first before saying: "I angered Master Xuanzang and was knocked on the head, as for Xue Rengui wanting to beat me so badly, I still lack some heat." ”

I heard that Master Xuanzang did it, whether it was Liang Jianfang or Su Lie, the stone in the hearts of the two of them quickly fell to the ground, and even their faces became good-looking.

Liang Jianfang laughed and said: "I was knocked on your stick by Master Xuanzang, there is no place to find this, right?" ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "If people want to fight, they can only bear it." ”

Su Dingfang immediately said with a relaxed expression: "Why is Master Xuanzang so angry with you, the old man heard that this old monk has already gone out of the world and entered the sainthood, and logically speaking, he will not be angry easily." ”

Yun Chu said angrily to Liang Jianfang: "If you said earlier that you need cordyceps, just come to the house and say it, why do you send the armor soldiers around you to dig in Tibet?" Do the armorers know how to dig and where to dig?

Not to mention what kind of crime it is to send a soldier out of Beijing without permission, don't you know?

Li Jingxuan didn't catch Chang'an's sore feet from me, but tore a hole from you.

Well, it's rumored all over the world that our Chang'an nobles have sent out the soldiers around them, and they are going to do something unspeakable. ”

Yun Chu deliberately said that the matter was more serious, Liang Jianfang was a big boss, and now he was no longer as brave as he used to be, his face was a little ugly, but Su Lie didn't seem to hear it, he didn't say it without fear, and looked at Yun Chu with a smile and said, "You have cordyceps sinensis in your hand?" ”

Yun Chu pushed the brocade box he brought in to Liang Jian and said: "There is a pound in it, about 1,500 roots, you eat it first, and then go to my kitchen to get it after eating, there are still some at home, all of which were Chen last year."

If you want to eat fresh, you have to wait, the Cordyceps season is generally between April and May, and counting the time on the road, there will soon be new Cordyceps to be picked up.

However, you can only eat dry goods, the medicinal effect of dry goods is not as good as fresh goods, that thing is very delicate, and it is generally better to eat it within seven days after leaving the ground. ”

Liang Jianfang suspiciously opened the brocade box brought by Yun Chu, looked at the box full of cordyceps, and shouted outside the door: "Lao Gou, bring the master's cordyceps." ”

It didn't take much effort, and the housekeeper of the Liang family brought a red brocade box, and after opening it, there were seven or eight small cordyceps on the cotton cloth inside, which could not be compared with the box full of cordyceps that Yun Chu brought.

Su Lie took the cordyceps on both sides and compared them, and then threw the cordyceps on the table with great interest, and said to Liang Jianfang: "Wanting to live long is delusional after all." ”

Liang Jianfang hugged the box that Yun Chu brought and said puzzledly: "Why? We've got Cordyceps. ”

Su Lie didn't explain much, stood up and casually arched his hand towards Yun Chu and said, "The old man is going to run, if you don't run, you will be laughed at by this doll." ”

After speaking, he quickly left without looking back.

Old man Liang couldn't figure out the situation, and said to Yun Chu with the box containing Cordyceps: "This is all for the old man, and he didn't promise it to others, right?" ”

Yun Chu sighed helplessly and said, "It's all yours, in a few days' birthday, I will prepare a few catties to send him over." ”

Liang Jianfang handed the box to the housekeeper Lao Gou with satisfaction, rubbed his hands and said: "That's right, isn't it Xu Jingye's thing, you let go, let him live, let him toss in Tuyuhun for a few years, and a defeated general is not the style of a general, besides, Xu Jingye is nothing, but Xu Shiji is a big tiger, don't look at this tiger is old, you really start to predict the outcome of the battle." ”

Yun Chu also got the news he wanted from the mouth of the old man Liang Jianfang, that's right, this news is that Li Ji is also very jealous of him Yun Chu, and he is not sure of victory.

"You are still young, bowing your head to Ying Gong is nothing, that's it, three days later, on Ying Gong's birthday, the old man will go with you, give him Cordyceps, and then talk thoroughly, Ying Gong will get Cordyceps, I guess there will be no trouble for you......"

Liang Jianfang has been chattering, Yun Chu has been listening quietly with a smile on his face, Liang Jianfang is very satisfied with Yun Chu's educated attitude, but the housekeeper of Liang Mansion saw endless sadness in Yun Chu's swollen eyes.

The old hero of Zhenguan's founding finally lost his last arrogance and courage, and began to live secretly.

Seeing that Liang Jianfang was really happy, Yun Chu also accompanied Liang Jianfang to drink two glasses of wine, although he had a blue nose and swollen face, it was not good to drink, but when he saw that Liang Jianfang, who was missing one foot, wanted to drink, he accompanied him to drink several times more.

Liang Jianfang was no longer as brave as he was in the past, and after seven or eight cups of anti-poison, he fell on the bed and got drunk.

Yun Chu saw Lao Gou, who was drinking together, put the blanket on Liang Jianfang, put down the wine glass and said to Lao Gou: "In the future, whatever the old man wants, come to my house to get it, don't embarrass yourself." ”

Lao Gou wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said softly: "Junhou, don't give too much, my grandfather can't stand this." ”

Yun Chu said indifferently: "You know, I'm not giving alms, I'm repaying my kindness, some people's kindness is repaid casually, and some people's kindness is not finished in a lifetime......"

In Lao Gou's long stroke, Yun Chu stepped into the carriage, and Fei Jiu drove the carriage out of the Yanmen County Mansion with an expressionless face.

When Yun Chu's carriage left the Yanmen County Mansion, there were still many pairs of eyes looking at the Yun family's carriage.

Previously, Su Lie left the Yanmen County Mansion in a hurry not long after Yun Chu entered the door, which has attracted a lot of conjectures, especially some people deliberately asked Su Lie why Yun Chu went to the Yanmen County Mansion, and was scolded by Su Lie, who was embarrassed and angry, and more people thought that it was definitely not a simple matter for Yun Chu to go to the Liang family with a mask this time.

Gentle also didn't understand, after jumping into Yun Chu's carriage halfway, he lifted the black veil on Yun Chu's face, looked at the messy face, put down the veil and said: "The old fairy did it, or Master Xuanzang did it, well, it should be Master Xuanzang who did it, right?" ”

Yun Chu nodded.

Gently gasped and said, "In other words, Master Xuanzang is extremely dissatisfied with the appeasement attitude we have adopted?"

It doesn't make sense, Master Xuanzang should know more about the horrors of Yinggong than we do. ”

Yun Chu said: "I am really afraid of the Ying Gong who calmed the troubled times in all directions and returned the world to peace."

I dare not not be afraid of the two blows to Xue Yantuo, the pacification of the northern part of the moraine, and the great destruction of the Eastern Turks.

The eastward expedition to Liaodong, extinguishing Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje opened up countless British princes for the Tang Dynasty, and when he was under his tent, I didn't dare to raise my voice.

However, in order to prolong his life, he did not hesitate to let his grandson move his troops to Kham, and he also sent a soldier in front of him to dig Cordyceps for him in violation of regulations, and did not hesitate to intimidate our Li Ji, it doesn't matter. ”

Wen Wen listened to Yun Chu's words, and his body became stiff at that time, and it was not until the carriage was about to arrive at Jinchangfang that he came to his senses, and he was reluctant to talk more, so he jumped off the carriage irritably, and then got into his own carriage, turned around and left, very much like something terrible conflict broke out between the two.

That night, countless people made appointments to meet Yun Chu, but Yun Chu returned the post and politely excused himself.

All of a sudden, rumors swirled.

When it was dark, people also saw Yun Chu leave the house and go straight to the old immortal Sun Simiao.

This night, the income in Pingkangfang plummeted by more than eighty percent, leaving all kinds of red sleeves to lament in the night breeze.

Sun Shenxian took out a cordyceps from the tea bowl and chewed it in his mouth a few times, shook his head and said to Yun Chu: "It may be that the amount of old Dao food is not enough, so I haven't felt any effect until now." ”

Yun Chutou's face was smeared with various colors of swelling ointment by the old fairy, just like the cordyceps that the old fairy ate as a meal, and I don't know if it has any effect.

"In this case, why does Yinggong Li Ji think so firmly that this thing has the effect of prolonging life, I always feel that some small tricks should not work for a character like Yinggong."

Sun Simiao said with a smile: "People's hearts are like ghost domains, and the old way doesn't like to guess people's hearts, so I can live for so many years." ”

"What if it's used for dispensing?"

"Nowadays, the efficacy of this cordyceps is not yet clear, and it needs to be used in large quantities for various diseases in the hospital to discover the mystery.

For now, Lao Dao can only tell you that this substance is non-toxic, and if you have to add it to the medicine, Lao Dao will only add it to the prescription of the noble family, which can give the patient a little more confidence in overcoming the disease.

Forget about the small family of the Ping family. ”

"Alas-" Yun Chu sighed, with the words of the old immortal as a backing, Yun Chu finally confirmed that this thing was actually a rare thing, and it was not even a good medicinal herb.

But how to say it, it's also a good thing, stewed with chicken, the price of chicken can increase tenfold, stewed with duck, the price of duck soup will also increase tenfold, and pork ribs...... If it is put in life-saving medicine, it is inhumane.

The old immortal has never been a pedantic healer, his disciples and grandchildren are all over the world, the children have to eat, their families have to eat, and if all the money for eating comes out of the life-saving medicine, it is unfair to the people.

Only look for more money in ginseng, deer antler velvet, cordyceps and other drugs that are dispensable for patients.

His disciples and grandchildren were able to eat and drink enough, and the price of other life-saving medicines fell down......

When Yun Chu left the Old Immortal Mansion in the morning, the bruises on his head dissipated a lot, although there was still no way to completely restore Yun Chu's original handsome appearance, in terms of medicinal effects, it was already very good.

He took away half a cart of various cordyceps products, plasters, medicines, pills, pills, powders, tablets, and decoctions of various forms of cordyceps.

Looking at the pile of cordyceps products on the car, Yun Chu sincerely hoped that the price of this thing could be stirred up by giving Yinggong a birthday celebration.

If the money earned can be used by the Tai Medical Department to open another Tai Hospital in Chang'an, it should be the greatest effect of Cordyceps on the quality of life and quality of life of the people.
