Yan Shuangying thought about his thoughts all the way, and Yuqing had time to look at the secret passage in the belly of the mountain. The secret passage is very wide, enough to make a carriage run, which shows that it is a big project. There are secret sentinels and secret rooms not far from each other in the secret passages, and oil lamps are lit not far from each other on the rocks, although they are not as bright as the outside, but they can be seen clearly. Yuqing speculated in his heart that this secret passage was not built at the same time, and should have been widened and sorted out several times. Presumably, when the ancestor of the side branch surnamed Yan arrived here, he had already begun to plan to form his own army, and the royal family surnamed Yan was not monolithic.

"Yuqing, the master feels that this is not a natural cave, they dug it out themselves." Lao Langzhong was also watching, but he could only see that this was a secret passage built artificially.

"Master, maybe there was a cave in the first place, but it was later dug by hand and turned into a secret passage. When we first came in, both sides of the secret passage were irregular, and then they became the way they are now. ”

"Yuqing, how many years has it been repaired?"

"Master, this place should be about as long as the history of our villa, but our villa focuses on living a good life, and they have to think more about how to keep their lives alive."

"What Master Ye Zhuang said hit the nail on the head, she is the smartest woman Shuangying has ever seen. Back then, the surname Yan took over the country, and the people who ate meat and gnawed bones from our side could only pick up their leftover soup to drink. You also have to look at the face of the grandson to be a dog, and our ancestor came here with a backbone person in the side branch. Speaking of which, we walked out of the imperial city a few years earlier than the ancestors of the Ye family, and at that time it was still an uninhabited wasteland......" Yan Shuangying seemed to have finally figured out something, and turned back to the master and apprentice to talk about the past.

"I can think of it, your ancestors not only have backbone but also wise people, presumably more than a hundred years ago, your ancestors must have worked hard, not only to open up a place to live, but also to guard against being driven out."

"Yes, our ancestors were originally for their grandmothers, and they were all sons who were good at martial arts and could fight. I didn't expect to be suspected of being humiliated in the end, although we were far away from the imperial city, but the people there would never let us develop and grow, our ancestors had their own determination to protect themselves from the moment they left the imperial city. While cultivating the wasteland, he trained his own soldiers, and while he was alive, he also had to guard against being hunted down. According to the inheritance of the old castle owner, this was originally a natural cave, and it took more than ten or twenty years to become what it is now. After more than 100 years of precipitation and baptism, we have secretly grown and developed under the nose of the surname Yan. Yanwai Castle is extremely xenophobic, but also for our own safety. ”

"Lord of Twin Eagle Castle, this is understandable, but if you don't do anything too much, it will have the opposite effect."

Later, we also realized this, but the rules were set, and wanting to change it would also cause suspicion and speculation, and we could only strengthen the confidentiality of what was wrong from the inside. In recent years, we have also married people in the Yuanwai Villa, and we have also married wives from the imperial city. About 20 years ago, we sat at a table with members of the royal family. This time the poisoning incident is definitely the ghost of the royal family. Old Imperial Doctor, Lord Ye Zhuang also asks you to save us. ”

"The lord of Double Eagle Castle, you always have to see it to know how to save it, and the imperial doctors of the castle are not ordinary Langzhong, I am afraid that even if you are old, you may not be able to think of a good way." The old man told the truth.

"I heard that Master Ye Zhuang is your apprentice, as the saying goes, green is better than blue, and I also ask Lord Ye Zhuang to help with righteousness."

"Castle master, what are you talking about, to be honest, her medical skills are above my old man, if she can't do anything, then she is really helpless."

"Master, you sold your apprentice so quickly, castle master, don't say anything about helping people, the owner of this village gives people a consultation fee, and the doctor and the patient do not owe each other."

"Why should the owner of Ye Zhuang refuse people thousands of miles away, Yanwai Castle will not affect your Ye Villa." Yan Shuangying said with a smile, and several people also walked out of the belly of the mountain and came to the mountain col.

The col is really a large military camp, with rows of bluestone houses, enclosing an extra-wide training ground. The barracks are surrounded by ancient trees, and it is really an excellent military base. Now it's a little deserted, and even the people standing guard outside look listless.

"The old imperial doctor, Master Ye Zhuang, after discovering that someone was sick, we isolated them, and there were all sick soldiers over there, although we did everything we had to do, the number of sick people was still increasing every day." Yan Shuangying pointed to the three rows of houses connected together and said, Yuqing took a cursory look, a few hundred people is still a conservative number.

"Castle Master, they have lived in the mountains for a long time, and they are used to the air plants here, or they are all immune to these things. Yuqing had to see someone who was sick before he could give an answer. ”

Several people walked into a room where the patient was isolated, only to see that the people in the room were all out of shape, obviously with persistent diarrhea. In this case, these people will soon die. Yuqing pulled up a person's wrist, put his fingers on the pulse and carefully felt the beating of the pulse, and soon had an answer.

"Master, castle master, these people have all been poisoned, which is the poison of the miasma they usually come into contact with."

"Can you solve it?" Lao Langzhong and Yan Shuangying asked together.

"Master, castle master, Yuqing must first find the first person to be poisoned and sick, Yuqing said just now that they have lived here for a long time and are used to the air here. Moreover, this is not the time when the miasma is at its strongest, and the first person to fall ill is likely to have something that causes the miasma on their bodies. ”

"Report to the castle lord, the first people to fall ill are the few people who went to attend the banquet of the new emperor with the old castle lord. If they ate something bad in the palace, they didn't get sick until two days after they came back. A soldier in good spirits said.

"Is it really the ghost of the new emperor?"

"Castle Master, let's go see the first few who fell ill." She didn't want to comment on who was the ghost, and she couldn't escape the surname Yan when she came out of the side branches. People are fighting in the nest, just watch the excitement, more than 300 people are sick, this time you have to earn more silver, and earning silver is the right way. Yuqing thought to himself, and came to another room, this room only had four patients, just like the people in the room just now, severe diarrhea had already caused these people to die. There were a few gong barrels in the house, but there was not much smell in the house, but the air was filled with a faint fragrance. Yuqing's heart became clearer, and he couldn't help but secretly curse the ruthlessness of the new emperor.

"Lord Ye Zhuang, these people followed the old castle lord to the palace more than ten days ago to attend the banquet of the new emperor. When I came back, I was fine, but I became ill in less than two days. The military doctor tried several antidiarrheal prescriptions to no avail, and finally went up the mountain to look for medicinal materials, but after eating them, they still did not work. Later, dozens of people fell ill, and it was not until all the sick people were isolated that the situation was a little better. ”

"Aren't you surprised, Lord of the Castle? There is a bucket in the house, but it has no smell and a little aroma. ”

"Aroma? To tell the old imperial doctor, we went into the mountains and came to the barracks, and we all smelled the same. ”

"My apprentice is really right, you are used to the taste of the mountains. My old man thought, even if the temperature warms up, it won't affect you when the qi rises in the deep mountains. The old man said clearly.

"Castle master, Yuqing has something to inquire about. Have these people with diarrhea already died? ”

"Master Ye, a few people in this room are the most serious. It's strange that they've pulled to this point and still live. What is the best way to tell these people who have diarrhea to get better quickly. Master Ye Zhuang, if there is any rare medicinal herb missing, the lord of this castle will ask someone to prepare. ”

"Castle Lord, these four people are all generals here." Yuqing asked his eyes, but looked at the clothes of the four people. These four men were different from those well-dressed soldiers, but like old men who had been piled up with silver. Although they have been lying in bed these days, whether it is the robe on the outside or the trousers on the inside, it is all satin fabric, and there is not a trace of indentation to be seen.

"Master Ye Zhuang, these people are the upper echelons of the ancient castle in name, but in fact, they are all generals who can fight well, and they are also the personal bodyguards of the old owner. went to the palace to attend the banquet of the new emperor, and the old owner did not say the details. We only know that there was an unpleasant incident between the old owner and the new emperor at the banquet, and the old owner was broken in his leg. Later, some people tried their best to make peace, but the new emperor didn't make too many troubles. Finally, he gave them a few rewards for the best brocade clothes in the palace. Several of them slept in the castle for one night and returned to the barracks the next day. I think I started to get sick that night, and then it was only two or three days. Hundreds of soldiers fell ill. The military doctor thought of all kinds of reasons, and changed many ways. These people are just not good, but fortunately no one has died of diarrhea. ”

"It's a blessing. Castle master, Yuqing has a few words that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Master Ye, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it. As long as they can be cured, whatever the conditions, the two eagles will promise you master and apprentice. ”

"Castle Master, the clothes they wear are the ones that cause miasma, and these clothes have been manipulated when they are spinning fabrics. Ordinary people pretend to be non-toxic and ineffective in ordinary places, but it is different in the mountains. Yuqing thinks that even if no one knows about your place, it will already be suspected. ”

"Master Ye Zhuang, we ancient castle people know this. The new emperor is afraid that we are also trying to weaken us, and the old castle lord has broken his legs, which is a warning to us. It's hateful that they actually use this kind of shady tricks, they are really faint tyrants. ”

"Castle master, you should be glad that we and the men in Yuanwai Villa are almost all dead, such an emperor can't even tolerate the people, how can he be a Ming monarch."

"Master Ye Zhuang, is there a way to cure them, what do you need, just say, there is no shortage of silver in the ancient castle."

"It's not difficult to cure them, but the difficult thing is that my master and I are afraid that we are also on the same page with the new emperor, and there are only women, children, old and young left in our Ye Villa, and even if they are involved, Yuqing is the sinner of the Ye family."

"Master Ye Zhuang, don't worry, in the future, the affairs of your villa will be the affairs of our ancient castle. There are still a lot of kung fu people in our ancient castle, and I will take some of them with you when I leave, which is considered a medical fee. With them, the safety of the villa is guaranteed to a certain extent. ”

"Don't, the yamen asked us to count the people surnamed Yan in the villa two days ago." The old man disagreed.

"That's it, castle master, you're not helping us or hurting us. Let's talk about the method of curing these people first, and the consultation fee is 100 taels of silver per person. ”

"Master Ye Zhuang, you don't look like a person who is greedy for silver in the eyes of Shuangying, it is easy to say that 50,000 taels of silver will be cured together with the old castle master's leg."

"Castle master, silver is the foundation of life, Yuqing is just a layman, liking is instinctive hypocrisy, that is hypocrisy. Just follow your doctor's prescription for diarrhea, burn these clothes, and use the ashes as medicine primers to drink. ”

"It's as simple as that?" The old man blurted out unexpectedly.

"Master Ye, this method is very simple, but it is the most difficult. These clothes are given by the emperor, not only to be regarded as treasures but also not damaged, but also to wear on certain occasions, otherwise it is a great disrespect to the emperor. ”

"Yuqing, what the castle master said is right, the master is surprised by this method is also this consideration, is there no other way?"

"Oh, after that, you can't just accept what the emperor gives. It's not being favored, it's finding a tight spell for yourself. Yuqing said jokingly.

"Don't be beheaded!" Yan Shuangying looked at Yuqing and said, but secretly estimated this smart and lovely female owner in her heart.
