Chapter 45: The Truth

"Du Zhong is rude, originally this should not be said to the county lord, but, this is what Lord Yan ordered, he said that no matter how carefully he said it to the county lord, otherwise even if I don't say it, I can find out with your keen observation."

Yes, the imperial doctors in the palace have said so, but Du Zhong is hiding from her here, and she will definitely not be gullible, and then observe the attention of Yan Zheng and Du Zhong, how can she see that she has a seven, seven, eighty, eight, or eight, it is better to let her know that she has a bottom in her heart, and she is very desperate for her life.

"Thank you Dr. Du for not hiding it, please ask Dr. Du for the treatment in the future." Ruan Mingjiao got up and bowed to Du Zhong.

"County Lord, you can't help it, your status is noble, and the ministers can't afford it!" Du Zhong's eyes were quick, and he took a few steps forward to stop her.

When the two went out, Yan Zheng realized it as soon as possible, and immediately got up and looked at the two of them, seeing Ruan Mingjiao's relaxed face, and seeing Du Zhong signaling to him, he was relieved.

"The county lord, my lord, the minister will go to boil the medicine, this is the prescription and the conditioning list, and the county lord can also let the palace doctor according to this prescription to regulate the county lord when he returns to the palace in the future."

"You've worked hard." Yan Zheng took the prescription and put it in his arms, and Du Zhong turned around and retreated.

Ruan Mingjiao watched Du Zhong retreat, her eyes sank slightly, and she looked up at Yan Zheng, who lost her relaxed and hippie smile and said very seriously: "Did Du Zhong tell you about my condition?" How can you tell him not to hide it from me, as if waiting for me to know and see my attitude? ”

"I asked the Tai Yi and the people from the Tai Hospital who diagnosed you, and they all said that your hidden disease is angina, and if you don't treat it, it will be life-threatening, but they are not sure that they can cure you, so they hide it a little bit in front of you, and the prescription that Tai Doctor Liu found is just ordinary conditioning, and he is not sure if it is useful or not."

Yan Zheng turned to Ruan Mingjiao, didn't look back at her, slowly explained the reason, and finally turned his head to look at Ruan Mingjiao, "Ruan Mingjiao, I don't let him hide it from you, because I'm afraid that you don't even know your own condition, you don't know how to take care of your body, what you should torture is not yourself, but the person who makes you unhappy." ”

"You ......" Ruan Mingjiao looked at him, his face was extremely serious, but it was not the appearance of blackening her face or raising a face at her on weekdays, teaching her, the tone of his voice was earnest, it seemed to be a kind of pleading, and what was hidden in his eyes was a pleading, she was slightly stunned and asked: "Yan Zheng, you asked him to tell me that, not to make me hate you, right?" ”

"Whatever you want, there are more people in the world who hate me, there are many less of you, and there are not many of you, besides, you can't die, and the prince and the first assistant still have to rely on you to maintain it, and live well to do what you want."

"The big boss, the second boss is back."

In the lobby, someone rushed in in a panic, stood in the middle of the lobby and pointed out the door, and before Scar could react, someone came in with a curtain.

"Big brother!" Chen Meng bowed, changed into the fur suit again, and was full of energy.

Scar originally stood up, as if he remembered something, the smile on his face stiffened, and he sat back again, "Why, I found out clearly, I thought you were so scared by those waste officials in Ningcheng that you didn't dare to come back." ”

Chen Meng was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and took a few steps forward to kneel in front of Scar: "I had a dispute with my eldest brother before, it's not right for Huzi!" ”

Before his knees touched the ground, Scar raised his foot to stop his movements and lifted his knees up, snorting from his nose, "Alright, get up, when did I blame you!" ”

Chen Meng showed gratitude and tears on his face, wiped his face, and then got up and sat down next to the scar.

"Tell me, what did you gain from going down the mountain this time? Ningcheng's government office didn't really want to bring troops up the mountain, but he wasn't afraid that they were about to celebrate the festival, and the people in the mountains finally rested, and they didn't have to play. Scar patted Chen Meng, his expression was complicated, as if he was saddened by someone interrupting the atmosphere of the festival.

"What Xiao Liuzi said is true, Yan Zheng in the capital really came, but this Yan Zheng let his subordinates pretend to be himself into the palace, he himself seems to be hiding in the shadows, and he doesn't know what tricks he is. The government has been gathering troops and horses in the past few days, and I am afraid that it will set off soon. ”

Chen Meng thought for a moment, and sorrow covered his eyebrows.

"Hmph, after all, my Dao Yanzheng is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the imperial history of the imperial history is actually a shrunken turtle, hiding in the dark to let his subordinates deal with it, I am really sorry for the trust of so many people in them, I don't know what you have to be afraid of." Scar slapped his thigh, indignant, and looked at Chen Meng's eyes with a slight hatred of iron not being made of steel.

"Big brother is not that I'm afraid, since Yan Zheng can be the imperial history, he must have his means, don't take it lightly, besides, I also heard that he came with the Pingyang County Lord in the palace this time, the two of them don't know what they are doing in the dark, if you want to find out what medicine Yan Zheng sells in the gourd road, you must lure him out."

What Chen Meng said was reasonable, and he also confessed Ruan Mingjiao, Scar's eyes really lit up, and he looked at him with a little appreciation, "Listen to what you mean, do you have an idea?" ”

Chen Meng took a few steps forward, and whispered in front of Scar's ear for a while, Scar was obviously energetic after hearing this, and looked at Chen Meng's eyes with a little more guilt, "Huzi, it's the eldest brother who blames you, I hope you don't care about the past suspicions, don't blame the eldest brother." ”

"Big brother, where did you say, you saved me, brought me here, you are my own eldest brother, how can there be a younger brother to blame the eldest brother, we are now just going to keep our hard-won tranquility, and it is what I should do to share the worries for you and the village."

The two brothers staged a drama of brothers, friends and brothers, Scar was also slightly sour and soft-hearted in his heart, Chen Meng in front of him said very sincerely, it was he who spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and almost destroyed the feelings between the brothers, "Okay, don't say anything else, Xiao Liuzi, send someone to send a tribute to the Ningzhou Mansion, Qixi Festival is approaching, it should be for my brothers in the cottage to ask for a daughter-in-law to come back, add a little joy to the cottage, tonight the brothers drink wine and eat meat, tomorrow I will go down the mountain into Ningcheng, go to Yanchun Tower to rob the daughter-in-law!" ”

The rest of the people in the hall glanced at each other, and immediately waved their fists to cater to the people outside the house After listening to Xiao Liuzi's words, they were also easy-going, and the cottage was lively, the sound resounded through the mountains, and everyone's faces were full of excitement.

When Ruan Mingjiao and Yan Zheng returned to the inn, there were already people waiting in the house, Ruan Mingjiao paused for a moment, turned around and closed the door.

"Lord of the county, my lord." A few steps forward from the wind, he bowed to the two of them.

"How's it going, didn't anyone find any clues?" Yan Zheng bowed his head and beckoned him to sit down.

"Don't worry, my lord, those people who eat dry rice are obedient to Bai Ran, and they don't dare to doubt it at all, when I go out, they are gone, and they avoid the people of the yamen to see it, and no one finds out."

With a wave of his hand, he took out the rolled cowhide drawings from his arms and unfolded them on the table, "My lord, today Fang Ming and Bai Ran have made a plan to go up the mountain, this is the topographic map of Panlong Mountain. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the topographic map and drew a circle with his hand, which was a flat mountain with a cliff, and the only way below seemed to be from the side ridge of Panlong Mountain.

But with the defense of Huajingzhai and the fire oil weapons in his hands, as long as he guards the mountain gate, it is basically an iron cage that cannot be broken.

"Kerose?" Yan Zheng was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Congfeng, and looked slightly puzzled, "Where did a group of bandits get the oil from them?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, and telling Yan Zheng all the conversations between Bai Ran and Fang Ming today, Ruan Mingjiao also listened attentively, and in the end, Yan Zheng's already serious expression became more and more solemn.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Mingjiao saw his solemn expression, and couldn't help but ask.

"The identity of this scar is suspicious, if my guess is correct, when I was fifteen years old, there were many rebels who left the king, and the saint has been tracking down the whereabouts of these rebels, I suspect that they have a connection with the group of rebels in Bianyang." Yan Zheng groaned slightly, expressing the doubts in his heart.

Congfeng on the side heard the battle of Bianyang, and suddenly his eyes flashed a trace of stunned, his master's grandfather died in the battle of Bianyang, he naturally knew the situation of that battle, but Ruan Mingjiao didn't know about it, although he was also suspicious, he didn't ask much.

"Congfeng, you go back immediately, let people find out when the bandits from Huajingzhai came to Ningcheng, go to Panlong Mountain, be sure to be careful, and try to avoid the people in the state capital."

"Yes." Congfeng immediately got up, bowed to the two, and went out from the other end.

"If the people in Huajingzhai are rebels, then you can not only help Ningcheng put an end to banditry, but also arrest the rebels that His Majesty has been tracking for many years, which is a good thing, but I don't think you are very happy."

As soon as the wind left, there were only the two of them left in the house, Ruan Mingjiao asked the confusion in her heart, Yan Zheng glanced at her, and shook her head slightly, "Things are not so simple, His Majesty sent so many people back then, but he has never been able to find the whereabouts of that group of rebels, and now they are so arrogant in Ningcheng, there must be someone behind them to protect them, but I can't see who it is now." ”

"The rebels are your grandfather's men?" Ruan Mingjiao thought about it for a while, as if she had found the reason.

Yan Zheng nodded, "They abandoned the city and fled, everything was suspicious, my grandfather died in battle, but His Majesty failed to verify it and announced it to the world, posthumously sealing my grandfather, and the court said that it was because my grandfather Bian Yang has only been repeatedly invaded now, but His Majesty has suppressed this matter." ”

"The Marquis of Qingyang is righteous, those words are just that some people are afraid that the Yan family is powerful, and your father will draw a line to protect his reputation, and in the end it will make you ...... after all."

Yes, let a fifteen-year-old child watch his grandfather die, his mother died not long after committing dementia, outsiders say that he is a concubine, not as good as his brother, where does he understand those malice, his father's inaction made him grow into the cold-blooded and ruthless character he is now, what is wrong with him.

Ruan Mingjiao felt sad for a while, for the people who died, for the soldiers who sacrificed for the country, and for the fifteen-year-old isolated and helpless boy.

Ruan Mingjiao felt lonely for a while, and she couldn't think of words to comfort him, so she could only watch from the sidelines.
