Chapter 50: The Heart of a Strategist
It turned out that after Xu Ci left from Cheng Shui, he visited his master Wu Fuzi by the way.
Hearing the carpenter's account of the story, saying that the head of the Li family was seriously ill, both of them were shocked and almost overturned the case.
Xu Ci was a little incredulous: "When I left, the head of the family was fine, how could he suddenly become ill?" No, I'll have to see. After saying that, he got up, his movements were flustered, and the hem of his clothes swept over the tea bowl on the table, and he spun around twice.
Wu Fuzi, who was sitting opposite, also frowned and thought twice.
"I'll go with you."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Ci, who walked to the door, was startled again, turned around in place, and twisted his neck to look at his teacher.
He reached out and scratched his ears, wondering if he had misheard?
Wu Fuzi didn't want to look at the stupidity of his disciple anymore, and repeated: "I'll go with you to visit the Cheng family master." ”
Xu Ci, who was following behind, still couldn't help but buckle his ears again, but this time it was because of Wu Fuzi's name for Cheng Shui.
In fact, Cheng Shui's appointment as the head of the Li family, although it was not widely publicized, it was indeed not secret.
Those in the know default that she is the custodian, so she is called the head of the Li family; Ordinary outsiders don't understand, but they just take it for granted that the surname of the head of the Li family is Li.
As for the original body worn by Cheng Shui, her real name is Cheng Shui, she herself is not very clear.
It's just because the person she married at the beginning was also surnamed Cheng.
Of course, these internal statements are not clear.
He was just subconscious, feeling that his teacher called the head of the Cheng family, and he had some other charms.
It's like, like him, confessing the Lord......
Poor Xu Ci didn't know that his mentor and his master had already crossed paths many times in places he didn't know, and they had come to a consensus.
That day, in the face of Wu Fuzi's self-recommendation, Cheng Shui officially introduced him: "My surname is Cheng, next, please give me more advice." ”
......
Cheng Shui's illness is menacing.
That night, he fainted several times and became delirious.
The doctor in the town saw that her popularity did not subside, and he did not dare to prescribe a prescription, so he asked Cheng Da and them to invite another master.
And the old miracle doctor who only came back in the evening heard that he wanted to see Cheng Shui, but he didn't agree. Shouting, no cure, no matter how much others plead, they can't be persuaded.
In the end, Pei Xingze slipped his collar and pressed the person in front of Cheng Shuibed to threaten before he gave in.
The old man reluctantly gave Cheng Shui a pulse, and the first sentence he said scared everyone half to death.
"It's hopeless, wait for death."
The three brothers of the Cheng family didn't believe it anyway, and Cheng Er knelt at the feet of the old doctor with an injury.
"Old Doctor, please! Take a look again! My mother has always been healthy, and she has been free of illness and disaster in the past six months, so it is impossible for her to fall ill suddenly, and she is still as you said......" said and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The rest of the room was also weeping.
Li Duo'er was young, and she couldn't tell whether she was scared or worried, so she sobbed: "Woo... Belch...... Old woman, the morning is fine...... Whining...... I didn't go out today...... How could it be....."
The old naughty boy was a little impatient, crying big and small, and the whimpering sound was really annoying: "She is suffering from a great cold, and she planted the root of the disease a few days ago, and today is just an inducement to it, sooner or later." ”
Li Xiu'er pursed her lips, extremely regretful, she knew how to persuade the old lady not to go out two days ago.
It happened suddenly, only the two sisters and Cheng Er who were present probably knew what was going on, and they all thought that Cheng Shui had suffered the cold in order to see Zhao Yannian.
"Of course, the cold is just a trigger." The old urchin sat down on the chair beside him, bent his legs, and said in a not very serious manner: "I warned her that her life is not long, and her pulse is very strange. It is the pulse of a man who is seriously ill and dying, but it is like ......"
"Master, you better talk about how to save the Li family master." Pei Xingze interrupted.
The old naughty boy was a little dissatisfied, stinky stars, and always bullied him.
But seeing Pei Xingze's cold eyes, the old naughty boy shrank his neck again and said: "It's too difficult to save her, it's easy to make her wake up, just a snow lotus flower as a medicine guide." After thinking about it, he added, "Be complete." ”
Hearing that their mother was saved, the Cheng brothers were overjoyed and couldn't wait to go out to find the flower immediately, no matter how difficult and dangerous it was.
However, after a few people dispersed.
Pei Xingze carried the old urchin to the outer reception room and asked, "How long will it take?" ”
At this time, Xu Ci and Wu Fuzi, who were waiting for the news in the reception room, also knew about the medicine introduction, and they also looked at the old naughty boy and apprentice when they heard the words.
The old naughty boy twisted his neck and said indifferently: "Of course it's a day, the longer it is, the worse the effect of the medicine, and people can't be saved." ”
"What! Such an important thing, why didn't you just say it! Xu Ci almost blew up, not mentioning Cheng Hui's relationship, in all fairness, there are not many people who can make him care, and it is easy to have a lord who appreciates and recognizes him, if something happens, he can lift Shilong Town.
"Is it important?" The old naughty boy did it on purpose, he didn't like restraint the most, but Cheng Shui insisted on leaving him in Shilong Town, of course, he wished that the bad woman was dead.
Wu Fuzi on the side couldn't help but speak: "Snow lotus is not common in Zengcheng, and Shilong Town may not have it, and if you want to have a complete flower, I am afraid that I will go to Lai'an City to find it, and it will take two or three days to rush back and forth day and night." ”
Pei Xingze's eyes were moved, and he struggled for a moment before he spoke: "Master, is there any other way, please be sure to save the Li family master, she ...... Very important. Although he hasn't found out what the hell is going on.
But before receiving a reply, Cheng Shui must not die.
Other people's pleas, the old naughty boy can be dismissed, but the obedient apprentice opened his mouth, and he couldn't help but soften when he was asked by the apprentice he raised since childhood.
"I'm exaggerating, but it's not nonsense that Snow Lotus saved her life. However, I can use the method of sealing the acupuncture points to delay for you for two days, at most three days, you must take the snow lotus, otherwise you will take it later, even if you can save it, people may become fools. ”
Hearing that this was the old urchin's ultimatum, the other three looked at each other.
But it was difficult to choose the person who went to pick up the snow lotus, and he had to fight a round trip within three days, and the body of ordinary people would definitely not work, Cheng Er took five days to rescue Zhao Yannian, and he almost lost half his life.
"Shall I go?" Pei Xingze opened his mouth with an indifferent expression.
"Pei Gongzi is strong in martial arts, wise and brave. The old man can be trusted, but this old doctor has an unpredictable temperament, and I am afraid that he still needs to be admonished by his son. ”
Wu Fuzi said naturally, thinking about Cheng Shui in an orderly manner.
He turned his head to look at Xu Ci, met the strange gaze of the young man, and was silent for a moment, thinking that although he practiced martial arts and was stronger than ordinary men, he was a literati in the end, and he was not able to be used, so he turned his head.
Xu Ci not only looked weird at this time, but also noticed his teacher's dislike of him, and his heart was mixed.
"Under the head of the family, if you still practice martial arts, you can survive these three days, Li Sandao?" Xu Ci didn't know how much the teacher knew about the power of the head of the family, and said tentatively.
"The Li family?" Wu Fuzi hesitated, as if he remembered something.
