Chapter 15 The Castle Shows Its Magical Powers
The carriage drove directly into the castle without stopping in front of the majestic gate of the castle, and Yuqing opened his eyes again. The whole castle looks rich and luxurious, even the roof is spired, and the eaves are carved with birds and animals. The guards at the gate are all men in strong suits, needless to say they are all kung fu people.
"No wonder the royal family surnamed Yan is afraid of them, they seem to be the second palace here." After getting out of the carriage, Lao Langzhong also sighed.
"Master, it's your first time here?"
"Yes, people other than the surname Yan are not welcome here, I have heard that this place is rich for a long time, and I know that it is not ordinary wealth when I see it."
"It's just a side branch of the surname Yan, where does the confidence come from and the call of the grandson, the owner here is not simple, and it is likely that there is an insignificant inside story from outsiders."
"Definitely, the affairs of the family surnamed Yan are not strange, they are originally a strange family." The master and apprentice were commenting as if no one was around, and the little butler returned here and restrained his ruffianism, as if he hadn't heard anything.
After a while, the person who went to report came back: "The owner of the Double Eagle Farm said that the old imperial doctor and the little owner of the village will go to see the patient first, and the time for the preparation of precious herbs will be detailed, and the owner of the Double Eagle Village is also rushing over there."
"Which side is over there?" As soon as Lao Langzhong asked, a few strong men came over, and the leader said a little politely.
"Master Imperial Doctor, you will know where you are, and before that, your master and apprentice will be blindfolded. It's good for both of us. ”
"It's okay not to have such benefits, but your owner invited us here, so cautious, it's better for us not to go through this troubled water. Master, let's go! The old man's beard was curled, and Yuqing said directly and unceremoniously.
"It's not okay to come here and not see the patients leave, you think our castle is a casual visit." The little butler who was pretending to be a quail just now said with a changed face.
"It's really faster than turning the page, and you invited you to visit in a carriage, and you didn't care if you asked for silver to compensate for our efforts, do you still want to force our master and apprentice to stay."
"Go and tell you what kind of eagle castle master, Ben Langzhong is still afraid of threats at this age, apprentice, let's go!" Lao Langzhong took Yuqing's words and turned around and walked out, made, what the hell, I didn't even sit on a chair for half a day and stood in the yard waiting, and at the end I had to be blindfolded to pass, and Lao Tzu didn't wait.
"Old imperial doctor, you are still so stubborn, twenty years have passed, why are you still with this stinky temper. The ignorance of the juniors has neglected your master and apprentice, and the old man has apologized to the imperial doctor here. At this moment, an old man was pushed out and intercepted the master and apprentice head-on.
"Old castle lord, your legs?" Looking at the old man sitting on the chair with wheels, the old man asked unexpectedly.
"Old Imperial Doctor, do you still recognize me? My leg was lost in the palace this time and could not be recovered, and the new emperor favored our ancient castle and accidentally discounted my two legs. ”
"Ahh And such a pampering thing. Master, you're not wrong, the family surnamed Yan is really a wonderful family. Yuqing couldn't help laughing.
"Old Imperial Doctor, this apprentice of yours has more aura than you." The old castle smiled and praised.
"That's a must, it looks like your legs are connected, is it possible to go down to the ground."
"The imperial doctor in the castle gave me a bone on the same day, but the tendons and veins in my leg were sealed, and I couldn't walk on the ground in this life. Old Imperial Doctor, you were known as the Holy Hand of the Imperial Doctor back then, and when you have seen the symptoms over there, and you are showing the old man, I heard that I still have hope for the Golden Needle Acupoint. ”
"What, there are really a lot of people who have fallen ill collectively, and I thought that calling my master over was to show you your legs."
"Little girl, I'm so old that I can't walk and I won't live for a few years, but hundreds of people over there have a disease at the same time. Somebody, take this old friend of mine over there. The old castle lord said a word, and the people who came no longer insisted that the master and apprentice blindfold them, and changed their faces to a four-horse carriage without carriages, and the carriage ran quickly in the castle.
Although he was not blindfolded, at this speed, the trees and pedestrians in the yards on both sides of the carriage were flying backwards. Yuqing held the master with both hands, and only saw the hazy mountains in front of him, covered with snow and green trees.
The carriage ran for a while and finally entered the mountain road, which was wide enough to be built to facilitate the carriage to enter and exit. The carriage ran in the mountains for a while longer, and came to a halt in a clearing. The little butler followed on horseback. When he got here, he also turned over and dismounted and said to the master and apprentice.
"Old Imperial Doctor, you can't run a carriage any further, if you can ride a horse, you two can only ride a horse, and if you can't, you can only walk the steps to the mountain col."
"What, tell my master to climb the steps, what do you think? Even if my master can climb over the mountains and mountains to get there, I'm afraid he will be tired and can't stand up, I don't think you have hundreds of people waiting for help, you want my master's life, right? Yuqing looked at the hundreds of steps in front of him and protested loudly.
"Little farmer, you are not from our ancient castle, and in the past, you could only walk up the steps. I, the little butler, don't have any greater rights, so I'll rest for a while when I'm tired. ”
"Fart, send us back! It doesn't matter what's wrong with hundreds of people, he has a fart relationship with my old man. ”
"Old Imperial Doctor, you're embarrassing me." The little butler said with a bitter face, if you really want to ask the old imperial doctor to climb hundreds of steps, it will be so fatal, and I am afraid that it will not work when I go to the barracks to diagnose the sick. He is also embarrassed, there is a secret passage, but there is no general order and no owner to speak, how dare he expose the secret passage.
"Master, if the apprentice leads you to take a shortcut, you will always have to see the reason why hundreds of people have the same disease." Yuqing looked around, and immediately discovered the hidden secret passage. It's really a piece of cake, after a few years of archaeological team life, this ancient wisdom has long been cracked by modern people.
"Apprentice, what did you find?" Lao Langzhong also searched around just now, but he didn't see anything. Although I know in my heart that people here will not climb such high steps, even if there is a secret passage, it will not be known by people outside.
"Master, apprentice is sharp-eyed, if I don't guess much, there should be the entrance to the secret passage behind the bushes. Moreover, the apprentice also found that we didn't have to sit in the carriage and eat the cold wind just now, there was a secret passage in the ancient castle leading to here. The thickest tree should be empty inside......" Yuqing said lightly, listening to the little farmer's face turned white, what he knew was the secret passage that the little farmer girl saw by herself, I don't know if I would think that I had leaked the secret of the castle, he turned a few thoughts in his heart and deceived himself.
Yuqing has always been on guard, and when he saw this scene, he stopped in front of the master and asked, "Do you want to kill people?" Your own skills are not good and people have seen the secret, why can't you afford to lose so much? ”
"Little owner, you can see the secret, the housekeeper knows, and others don't know. Divulging the secrets of the castle is the end of death, but I don't want to die, you can only die. The little butler said the trick in his mouth, but he didn't return it, and Yuqing greeted him without thinking about it. A man in the prime of life and a little girl got into a fight. The old man was frightened, but he also knew that he couldn't help but take a few steps back. The bushes over there moved a few times, but no one noticed.
This is still the real sense of the battle with the ancients after Yuqing crossed, the last time he punished the thieves who robbed the road on the official road, and repelled the hooligans in the imperial city, it was not a test of kung fu. This little butler really has two brushes, but it's still not enough to look at Yuqing, a kung fu from modern times. Her grandfather is an ancient martial artist, and her father is also an officer of special operations in the army.
After more than a dozen moves of you coming and going, Yuqing found a feeling, and the more he fought, the more he kicked the little butler to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Apprentice, you weren't hurt anywhere, were you?" Lao Langzhong hurriedly walked over and asked.
"Master, I'm fine, you still go to see the little owner, he is not lightly injured. We've come to someone else's territory, and we can't just give the gift of the dead. ”
"You kid, you can't hold on to it." Seeing that the apprentice was fine, the old man blamed a little, and walked over to check the little owner's injuries tremblingly.
"He's supposed to fight! Even if he was killed, he was not aggrieved. At this moment, a young man stood up in the bushes and walked towards Yuqing while looking at him.
"If the owner of this village guesses correctly, you should be the owner of Double Eagle Castle, isn't it too cold to squat in the bushes for a long time? The people in Yanwai Castle are really unkind, and they even asked my master's old man to take a carriage to blow the cold wind, where is the attitude of asking for help. If you mind the secrets of your castle so much, you can just do your own thing. Be cautious and understand, and if you don't do too much, you won't be sincere. Yuqing also looked at the young man who came over and said, a few words but did not save face at all.
"Ye Zhuang is right, it is Shuangying's inconsiderate thinking that the old imperial doctor has been wronged, and Shuangying is here to apologize to the imperial doctor's holy hand. Why don't you take that waste up and go to Lang Zhong in the villa to take a look. After Yan Shuangying sincerely bowed his waist to the old man to apologize, he commanded the bushes behind him.
"Owner, don't be ashamed of the little ones, the small ones can't go back and practice hard by yourself, and ask the owner to be exempted from punishment." As soon as the little butler heard the owner's words, he hurriedly struggled to get up and lowered his head.
"And punishment? Winning or losing on the battlefield is the norm, and it's good to know where your shortcomings are. ”
"Master Ye, according to your wishes, I have not thanked Lord Ye Zhuang for his intercession."
"Stop, the little butler is also an elder, and we are not fighting for our lives." Yuqing said generously.
"Lord Ye Zhuang has a lot, let's not blow the cold wind here and talk, and take the secret road with the owner of this village." Yan Shuangying said and took the lead towards the bushes, and the little butler also limped behind a few people.
There was a wooden door of the same color as the cliff hidden on the cliff behind the bushes, and there were also several people hidden in front of the wooden door, which did not escape Yuqing's eyes, and she couldn't help but speculate in her heart that it was not Zhuangzi in the col, it was very likely that it was a soldier. It is also a hidden power that cannot be seen in the light, no wonder the new emperor is also afraid of the castle, and the old owner is also a warning if his leg is discounted.
"In the col is our own army of the ancient castle, I don't know why the people in the army are vomiting and diarrhea almost on the same day, the symptoms are the same as eating bad stomachs, our own imperial doctor changed a few prescriptions for diarrhea, not only the symptoms have not been alleviated but have become more serious. At first, there were only a dozen people, but later there were more than 300 people with diarrhea, and the number of sick soldiers was still increasing. Walking into the secret passage, Yan Shuangying looked back a few times, and then opened up to speak.
"Then I didn't think about it from anywhere else, maybe it was caused by some poison." Lao Langzhong took it and said.
"Master, how could the imperial doctor in the ancient castle not think of this aspect, and he must not be able to think of the way to be poisoned."
"Master Ye Zhuang is smart, we are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and on one side is our ancient castle, not to mention that people outside have come here, even if they know that our ancient castle has its own soldiers, it is also suspicion and speculation. We really can't figure out how the poison was brought in, if there is a traitor in our castle, but even ordinary people in our castle can't find it and can't enter the col. ”
"Lord of Double Eagle Castle, it's not an ordinary person, it's a two-class person, the owner of this village is sure that if these people are really poisoned, the poison is also brought in by your own people, and the people who brought it in don't know it. The owner of the village also guessed that this poison was aimed at your environment here, and it was not poison at all outside, but it was caused in a specific environment. Yuqing analyzed.
"We brought it in ourselves?" Yan Shuangying, who was walking in front, pondered and stopped talking.
