Chapter 67: Phlebotomy?
Dark clouds surged like ink, staining the sky a gloomy black.
The air became dull and oppressive.
The rain is getting heavier.
The rain was pouring down, as if a big hole had been broken in the sky.
Raindrops hit the ground, splashing up large clouds of dust.
Stomp and tread.
The horses' hooves sped through the muddy mire, rippling round and round.
Cheng Liunian's hair had been soaked by the rain and was clinging to his forehead, and his already dirty robe looked even more messy at this time.
In the pouring rain, Cheng Liunian felt that he was almost unable to breathe.
The icy rain slapped mercilessly on his face, and the cold air eroded his body like a bone appendage, making his body tremble uncontrollably.
Pale complexion and chapped lips.
Cheng Liunian felt that if he was drenched in the rain like this again, even if he was not killed by this Lin Cheng, he would be frozen to death.
He didn't cultivate, and he didn't have the same vitality to protect his body as they did in Lin Cheng, as long as they wanted, the rain couldn't stain their clothes.
Even in such a pouring rain, Lin Cheng's clothes were still dry.
Cheng Liunian found that Lin Cheng behind him was like a huge furnace, and he could feel a trace of warmth from Lin Cheng's body.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Cheng Liunian couldn't help but get close to Lin Cheng.
He ducked into Lin Cheng's arms.
He hadn't practiced yet, and his body wasn't as strong and tough as Lin Cheng's, and he really suspected that if he continued to freeze like this, he would really freeze to death.
If he was frozen to death, he would definitely become a big joke in the history of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
In order to save his life, Cheng Liunian moved his body back, wanting to get close to Lin Cheng's body.
And Cheng Liunian's every move at this time was watched by all the people who accompanied him.
Qingluan and Bai Shuxuan were fine, but Yu Guang glanced at them and didn't look at them much.
The red candle that came with him seemed to have discovered some new continent, staring at Cheng Liunian non-stop.
How can this man who looks exactly like Shizi look like this......
Weird ......
even shrank into Lin Cheng's arms......
This scene really opened the eyes of the red candle.
I didn't expect that human beings would be able to play so much.
Red Candle glanced at it, looked at Cheng Liunian's appearance similar to that of the prince, and then looked at Lin Cheng, as if his brain had made up something dirty, and his little face turned red instantly.
Hehe laughed.
Inexplicably, he looks like a tram idiot.
But Lin Cheng was a little uncomfortable, uncomfortable, and glanced down, compared to him, Cheng Liunian's slightly thin body drilled into his arms one by one, and squirmed a few times from time to time.
This made the corners of his mouth twitch slightly.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Cheng stretched out his hand and pushed Cheng Liunian out.
Cheng Liunian didn't seem to hear it, ignored Lin Cheng, and drilled into his arms.
At present, for Cheng Liunian, he pays more attention to the lining than face.
It's important to save your life first.
Lin Cheng: "......"
If it weren't for the order of the prince, Lin Cheng really wanted to leave this beggar behind.
It's good enough to let him ride my horse, but you still dare to take advantage of me??
Lin Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Cheng Liunian's collar, picked him up and carried him with one hand.
It's like holding a chick, lifted in mid-air.
"Ahhh
Cheng Liunian was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person became flustered.
It turned out that he could hide in Lin Cheng's arms, with the help of the vitality around Lin Cheng, to avoid the rain, but now it was better, he was directly picked up by Lin Cheng and hung in the air.
It was already raining heavily, and at this time, it was even more indiscriminate and hard to slap him on the face.
As the horses galloped, the dripping rain, like steel needles, pierced into his flesh with an incomparably rich cold air.
In pain, Cheng Liunian instinctively lost his voice and cried out.
There is no dignity in the world.
His feet were shaking.
If he were to be put on the ground at this time, he might not be able to get up for three or four days.
Lin Cheng ignored Cheng Liunian's call, carried him, hung in the air, and galloped all the way.
It was only when Cheng Liunian's voice gradually became quieter and his consciousness began to blur that he put Cheng Liunian back on the horse.
Lin Cheng saw that Cheng Liunian's breathing had become weak at this time, for fear that he would die directly, so he gave him some vitality.
Cheng Liunian felt a burst of warmth up and down his body, and his consciousness slowly recovered.
Slowed down for a while.
Only then did he lift his heavy eyelids again and look around.
At this point, the surroundings are no longer incomprehensible.
It became incredibly strange.
Cheng Liunian didn't know where he was now.
Originally, he could still see the shadow of Kyoto, and with Qingluan and them, he originally wanted to return to Kyoto as soon as possible, but now it's good, he doesn't even know where the shadow of Kyoto is.
Fortunately, the rain has already subsided.
I don't know who gave his body some vitality just now, so that his body warmed up a little, otherwise, Cheng Liunian estimated that he was now more auspicious.
Cheng Liunian looked aside.
I feel that among these people, there are people who can care about themselves and are willing to give themselves transitional vitality and help them maintain their body temperature.
It was only announced in the white book.
Cheng Liunian looked at Bai Shuxuan, who was riding on a horse on the side, quite heroic, and lost his mind for a while.
thought in his heart, only such a woman can be worthy of him.
When Cheng Liunian was staring at Bai Shuxuan, Bai Shuxuan seemed to have noticed something, turned his head to look at Cheng Liunian, and after blinking his beautiful eyes, he smiled again.
I didn't say anything, but I seemed to have said everything.
Cheng Liunian only felt that just seeing Bai Shuxuan's smile, the haze in his heart during this time was swept away.
Cheng Liunian watched it for a while, and then lost his mind again.
Lin Cheng noticed Cheng Liunian's gaze, and saw that his eyes looking at Bai Shuxuan showed gratitude, like, fascination, and deep love......
Just by glancing at Cheng Liunian's expression, Lin Cheng felt goosebumps all over his body.
This is obviously the one who lost his vitality, why is the object of this beggar's gratitude Bai Shuxuan?
Lin Cheng couldn't understand what Cheng Liunian thought.
But he didn't care.
The rain is getting lighter.
The sky seemed to have been washed away with a layer of dust, and the rain on the road was splashed by the horses' hooves and splashed like a small fountain.
The scent of the earth and the coolness of the rain blow on your face in the breeze after the rain, and you can't help but feel relaxed.
After the rain stopped, Cheng Liunian's mood also changed a lot.
Although this journey was a bit miserable, especially this Lin Cheng, he dared to hang himself in mid-air and let the rain slap his face wildly.
However, Cheng Liunian felt that it was still a very happy thing to be able to walk with this Bai Shuxuan all the way.
Take this opportunity.
Able to see a person clearly.
Being able to find someone who genuinely cares about and likes you.
Not bad.
Cheng Liunian looked at Bai Shuxuan with a look of fascination, feeling that his soul was already in the shape of Bai Shuxuan.
At this moment, the horse's hooves suddenly stopped.
A village appears ahead.
Bailuzhuang, located at the foot of Taihang Mountain, belongs to the Zhenguo Mansion, the people who live here, the third generation for the Zhenguo Mansion to raise spirit deer, for the mansion to provide a large number of high-quality spirit meat and deer milk.
In White Hart Village, all the houses are built with local stone and wood, and each house has a rustic and innocent beauty.
After the rain, the grass in the fields of Bailuzhuang becomes greener, the golden rape flowers sparkle in the sun, and the air is filled with the scent of soil after the rain.
Cheng Liunian looked at Bailuzhuang in front of him in a daze.
He arrived at White Deer Village a few days ago.
After a hard journey, I finally got closer to Kyoto.
As a result, now, following Qingluan and them, they have returned to Bailuzhuang?
Cheng Liunian's face was ugly, and he couldn't accept this ending for a while, but he had no way to say anything.
After all, he took the initiative to ask to come with Qingluan and them.
And not someone else asked him to come.
I can't say anything about my suffering, so I can only hold it back.
Here, no one regards him as a real son.
"It's here, let's go."
After Qingluan arrived at Bailuzhuang, he dismounted.
After a while, an old man in a gray robe came up with several middle-aged men in cloth clothes in Bailu Village.
"Miss Qingluan, we have prepared a separate courtyard for you."
"The spiritual food that Miss Qingluan asked us to prepare that can replenish blood and nourish qi has also been arranged, Miss Qingluan, you can use it at will, if it is not enough, the old man will go and withdraw some now."
The owner of Bailuzhuang said with a smile, even if he was over 100 years old and his body was slightly rickety, his body was still tough, and his deep eyes were still shining.
already looks like a successful cultivator.
Qingluan didn't put up any shelf in front of the owner of Bailu Village, and nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, when I go back, I will say a few more kind words for you in front of the world."
As soon as Qingluan came out a little, Lu Changshou, the owner of Bailu Village, suddenly showed a slight joy on his face, and nodded immediately.
"Okay, we don't ask for anything in Bailuzhuang, as long as the prince can hold up the beams of the Zhenguo Mansion."
Qingluan replied with a smile: "Yes." β
"Then don't talk much about it, Miss Qingluan, please here."
Lu Changshou turned sideways, leaned over slightly, and motioned for Qingluan and the others to go inside.
His gaze then fell on the people behind Qingluan.
It was fine when I saw Lin Cheng.
But when he saw Cheng Liunian, his face was slightly stunned, and his face showed a slightly strange look.
Isn't this kid the one who came to Bailuzhuang to pretend to be the son of the world because he looks like the prince?
Why did he come back again?
And it was brought back by the girl??
Lu Changshou was puzzled, looked at Qingluan with some doubts, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Qingluan, why did you bring this beggar back?" β
Qingluan didn't say much, just replied lightly.
"You don't have to ask about this."
Lu Changshou was stunned in his heart, as if he understood that this was what the prince ordered.
After all, who doesn't know that Qingluan is the personal maid who follows the prince.
The thing that can be done by Qingluan in person is definitely an order given by the prince himself.
Lu Changshou didn't ask any more questions, and led Qingluan and his party towards Bailuzhuang.
After walking for only a cup of tea, I walked around a few alleys and arrived in a courtyard.
This courtyard is not big, slightly larger than the ordinary farmhouse courtyard, under the eaves outside the courtyard gate, there is also drying similar to corn spiritual food, the color is golden and bright, quite beautiful.
It seems that this compound was inhabited not long ago, but it is temporarily vacant at this time.
Qingluan didn't care about this either, keeping Cheng Guang's instructions in mind, and after pushing open the door, he saw that there were already many people's spiritual food in the courtyard to nourish blood and qi, so he nodded slightly.
Turning his head to look at everyone, his eyes swept the process consciously or unconsciously.
"We're going to stay here for a while for the next few days."
"Wait a while and then go back to Kyoto, those spiritual foods that nourish blood and qi are specially prepared for the prince, and you must not touch them."
After speaking, Qingluan ignored the crowd, turned around and casually picked a room and walked in.
After Lin Cheng handed over the horses to the people of Bailuzhuang, Shi Shiran also entered the house.
He didn't know what he was supposed to do at this point.
The prince just asked him to come along, but he didn't tell him to do anything.
Lin Cheng was confused for a while.
Alas.
If you don't make a decision, just beat the beggar anyway.
Then again.
That beggar looks like the Son.
When I beat him by myself, I inexplicably felt like I was beating the world.
Hiss......
Sins and sins can't be so like.
I, Lin Cheng, am just beating a beggar, not offending the world.
Lin Cheng thought so, and when he passed by the side of the beggar Cheng Liunian, he slapped him in the head.
"What a daze."
Cheng Liunian screamed in pain, hurriedly covered his head, and turned his head to look at Lin Cheng.
A confused face.
Why didn't he say anything this time, and you hit me again??
It's addicted to co-authoring, isn't it!?
Cheng Liunian secretly glared at Lin Cheng, and once Lin Cheng had traces of turning his head, he immediately lowered his head to prevent Lin Cheng from noticing.
Now Cheng Liunian's heart is full of bitterness.
What a bastard.
After all, he is still a dignified prince of Zhenguo, and now he is so afraid of one of his own guards.
If it had been in the past, this was something he would never have dared to think of.
But now......
But he was powerless to resist.
Cheng Liunian was desperate in his heart, how could things have developed to this situation.
He just wants to go back to Kyoto!
Why is it so difficult!!
For now, I have to stay in this White Deer Village for a few days before leaving.
Cheng Liunian also thought about whether to run away secretly.
However, this White Deer Village is still hundreds of miles away from Kyoto.
If he wanted to go by himself, he might not be able to get there for seven days, and it would be a lot of trouble.
With this Qingluan and the others, as long as the time is not wasted too long, riding a horse, you can return to Kyoto in one day.
For him, after all, there are benefits.
At least it saves physical strength.
And......
In the next few days, you can also take a look at Baishuxuan......
Cheng Liunian thought so, his eyes couldn't help but fall to the side again, and he stood quietly, like an immortal descending on the mortal world on Bai Shuxuan.
Just by taking a look, Cheng Liunian felt that his whole body had been healed.
Hesitated.
Cheng Liunian immediately decided to have a good chat with this Bai Shuxuan.
After all, she was her fiancΓ©e.
Not the groom in the house now!
Cheng Liunian approached Bai Shuxuan with some peace of mind in his heart.
"That...... White Girl ......"
Cheng Liunian cautiously greeted Bai Shuxuan.
When Bai Shuxuan heard the voice, he turned his head slightly, and when he saw Cheng Liunian, his willow eyebrows bent slightly, and he smiled.
Her face is already stunning.
When Yan smiled.
gave Cheng Liunian the feeling that it was like a warm spring breeze blowing into his heart, making him feel that the sky was wide and the clouds were comfortable, and the wind and waves were calm.
Bai Shuxuan did not reply.
The red candle beside Bai Shuxuan heard Cheng Liunian's call, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he suddenly wrinkled.
She thinks so.
Her own lady is infatuated with the prince of Zhenguo, and she can accept it.
Although I don't know what means the prince has used to make his young lady suddenly change.
But the prince of Zhenguo is the person who stands at the top of the power of the Great Zhou, and if the young lady really follows the prince of Zhenguo, it is not unacceptable.
Maybe she'll be able to get a side room in the future.
But it's too much for you to be a beggar.
The red candle stopped in front of Bai Shuxuan, and said coldly: "You have something?" β
Cheng Liunian was a little embarrassed when he heard this, looking at the red candle, he only felt that the appearance of the red candle was not bad, wearing a red dress, simple but with some temperament.
It's just different from her appearance, obviously she looks quite well-behaved, but her voice is quite cold.
It's not the same style at all with her young lady.
It's better for the white girl to be gentle.
Cheng Liunian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, looking at Bai Shuxuan's eyes, the color of infatuation was a little more.
"Tired girl, I want to say a few words to Miss Bai, is that okay?"
Cheng Liunian spoke in a hurry, with a light smile on his face, and took out his demeanor as the prince of Zhenguo.
Normally, he wouldn't talk to a person so softly and gently.
However, this time, Cheng Liunian looked at Bai Shuxuan's face, and patiently talked to Red Candle.
But Cheng Liunian didn't expect that even if he behaved so politely, Red Candle still didn't give him any face.
directly scolded with cold eyebrows:
"Who are you?"
"What is the identity of my young lady?"
"Don't come to the side! If you let the world know, you won't be able to cut off ten heads. β
Red Candle didn't know Cheng Guang's plan at this time, and this time he could be regarded as acting in his true colors.
Bai Shuxuan still smiled lightly, and when he heard the words of the red candle, he saw that Cheng Liunian's face gradually darkened, his red lips pursed slightly, and he said softly:
"Red Candle, don't say it."
Red Candle was still a little unconvinced, "Originally, Miss, you are now with His Royal Highness the Prince, if you are misunderstood by the Prince, the two of us will have a hard time." β
As the red candle spoke, Cheng Liunian's face had completely darkened.
No one has ever said, "What is he?"
even said that if the prince of the world knew, his ten heads would not be enough to cut off!
Which son!?
Who can cut off his head!?
Who would dare to cut off his head!?
Cheng Liunian only felt a depression in his chest, unable to vent it, which made his face difficult to see.
At this time, Bai Shuxuan's voice sounded slowly in his ears.
"Red Candle, don't say that, this boy may have something to tell me, just listen to what he will say first."
Bai Shuxuan said with a smile, his eyes fell on Cheng Liunian's body, which seemed to contain a little concern.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Are you feeling better?"
Bai Shuxuan's words made Cheng Liunian feel slightly warm.
Sure enough, sure enough.
The white girl is her true daughter.
I care so much about my feelings.
Even if his identity has not been disclosed at this time, this Bai Shuxuan can still deal with him like this.
This really moved Cheng Liunian.
It was also at this moment that Cheng Liunian was more eager to tell Bai Shuxuan his identity.
He is the real son!!
He is!!
Thinking so, Cheng Liunian looked around, and finally fell on the red candle.
"White girl, I'm no longer in serious health, but I do have something particularly important to tell you."
"Can the two of us find a place to talk to each other?"
When Red Candle heard this, he immediately wanted to say something.
Cheng Liunian was already impatient, pointed to the red candle with one hand, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he shouted in a cold voice: "Shut up!" β
Red Candle was stunned.
was obviously frightened by Cheng Liunian's fierce appearance.
It seems that he didn't expect that this beggar would be able to burst out with such a fierce momentum.
After the red candle reacted, some of them were red-faced.
It's so humiliating to feel like you're being intimidated by a beggar.
But this time, without waiting for her to speak, Bai Shuxuan had already grabbed her.
Silence her for a moment.
The red candle has done a good job, and if it continues to be stimulated, I'm afraid that this Cheng Nian will really go crazy.
Bai Shuxuan smiled, showing a look of wanting to agree, but a little hesitant.
When Cheng Liunian saw this, he knew that there was a play.
Immediately take advantage of the victory to pursue the tunnel:
"White girl, it's really important!"
"Moreover, it is still a matter of your life!!"
Bai Shuxuan heard Cheng Liunian say this, his face was no longer entangled, he just sighed and said softly:
"Well, since you said you have something important, it doesn't hurt me to listen to it."
Cheng Liunian was ecstatic when he heard Bai Shuxuan's agreement.
Immediately, he wanted to pull Bai Shuxuan and walk towards a remote corner of the courtyard.
But......
When Cheng Liunian was about to grab Bai Shuxuan, Bai Shuxuan quietly took a few steps back and let him catch the air.
Cheng Liunian's face was slightly stunned, and when he saw Bai Shuxuan's indifferent face, the smile on his face began to slowly converge.
The mood instantly became flustered.
Hurriedly waved his hand and apologized:
"That, White Girl, I didn't mean to......"
At this time, Cheng Liunian had not yet noticed that Bai Shuxuan's every move had been able to stir his mind.
He's subtle.
It's already like a licking dog.
Bai Shuxuan's face softened slightly, and then he said in a clear voice: "Childe, please respect yourself......"
Cheng Liunian nodded hurriedly, not daring to offend.
This is really a habit that I have developed in the past by visiting the Qinglou a lot.
In the face of those Qinglou women, it doesn't matter what they do here.
But if you act rashly against an ordinary woman, you will inevitably be considered a disciple.
Luckily, it's a white girl.
Otherwise, I will appoint today that there will be no good fruit to eat.
Cheng Liunian secretly rejoiced in his heart, and his good impression of Bai Shuxuan climbed to a new level.
Cheng Liunian took Bai Shuxuan to a corner of the courtyard, and when he saw that there was no one around, he spoke with peace of mind.
"White girl, actually, you don't know my identity."
As soon as Bai Shuxuan heard Cheng Liunian's words, he guessed what he was going to say, but he was still deliberately puzzled on the surface.
"Your identity?"
Cheng Liunian nodded heavily.
The face is solemn, and at the same time the demeanor becomes dignified.
"Actually, I'm the real prince of Zhenguo!"
"That is, the person with whom you are married!"
"In the Zhenguo Mansion, that prince is just my groom!"
Speaking of which, Cheng Liunian was already a little gnashing his teeth.
"For some reason, in order to escape from the mansion, I found a stand-in who looked similar to me, and asked him to hide from people in the mansion instead of me, but I didn't think ......"
"He didn't know what means to use, he hid the past, and he was not discovered by my father, and he was able to get out of the house!"
"Now it's completely pretending to be me, swaggering and cheating!"
"You've all been deceived by him!"
When Bai Shuxuan heard this, his expression became shocked at the right time, and his red lips were slightly red, as if he was in disbelief.
Cheng Liunian took a deep breath, "I know you can't fully understand what I'm saying yet, but I just need you to take my words to heart." β
"When I get back to Kyoto, I'll have a way to contact my mother, and when the time comes, I'll be able to prove my identity!"
Bai Shuxuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he still didn't understand.
"Can you contact Princess Yuemei?"
"By what means?"
Cheng Liunian smiled and turned out a string of jade jade pendants under the collar, "This is the peace jade that my mother asked me for, as long as this jade is broken in Kyoto, she can sense it." β
"If you go out of Kyoto, you won't be able to feel it."
"That's why I said that only when I arrived in Kyoto could my mother know about my existence."
Cheng Liunian did not have a trace of defense against Bai Shuxuan, and in his eyes when he looked at Bai Shuxuan, in addition to the color of infatuation, there was also a lot of trust.
After Cheng Liunian's words were finished, he kept staring at Bai Shuxuan's face.
After he saw Bai Shuxuan was only slightly surprised, his face was still a little puzzled, and he didn't seem to believe what he said, although this was already expected by him, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.
At this time, I heard Bai Shuxuan ask: "If you are the true son of the world, is the origin of your body also damaged?" β
When Cheng Liunian heard this, his face was ecstatic, yes, why did he forget this.
The damage to the origin of his body can be regarded as a great proof of his identity!
So, Cheng Liunian nodded hurriedly.
"yes, why don't you probe my body."
Bai Shuxuan reached out with one hand and placed it on Cheng Liunian's shoulder, and the vitality poured into his body, exploring it, and his face had become solemn.
Red lips slightly open.
The whole person's expression became horrified.
"You ......"
"You're a real ......"
Cheng Liunian nodded, with a solemn expression.
"White girl, I must not tell anyone else my identity, I suspect that Qingluan has betrayed me."
Bai Shuxuan shook his head: "I don't know, but if you are the real son, then the healing method that Cheng Zhihai brought back from outside this time may be useful to you." β
"The healing method that my father brought back? Healing? Is it the source of treatment? Cheng Liunian was stunned for a moment.
Bai Shuxuan nodded and said:
"Right now, your body is too weak and your origin is damaged, although it can prove your identity, but how can you never know that the one in the Zhenguo Mansion has also faked his injuries."
"If you are a real prince, you might as well be treated in this White Deer Village."
"Wouldn't it be better to go back to the house when the injury is healed."
Cheng Liunian listened in a daze, and felt that there was not much problem with what Bai Shuxuan said, but it always made him feel a little strange, and for a while, he couldn't say what was strange.
He just asked in a daze, "Do you know what my father's healing method is this time?" β
Bai Shuxuan nodded and said, "I know!" β
"This time I came out, just to collect spiritual food for the prince and heal the body, you can secretly treat it in my room, Qingluan and they won't find out."
"I'll help you hide from them."
As soon as Cheng Liunian heard Bai Shuxuan's words, he was immediately moved to tears, rubbed the corners of his eyes that were a little moist, and immediately said, "Bai girl, you are so good." β
"If I return home, I will definitely marry you as my wife!"
Bai Shuxuan listened to Cheng Liunian's words, only felt that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't say much, just asked Cheng Liunian to keep quiet, she would prepare all the medicines for Cheng Liunian to treat his injuries.
Cheng Liunian nodded, still a little suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help but ask.
"White girl, is this healing method called healing? Is there a serious name? β
Bai Shuxuan thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes, the serious name is bloodletting therapy." β
"Phlebotomy?" Cheng Liunian muttered and repeated, I don't know why, I always feel that this name is not particularly serious.
Bai Shuxuan didn't pay much attention to him, just said: "You come to my room tonight, try it, if you can, we will continue the treatment, if not, then forget it." β
Cheng Liunian heard Bai Shuxuan say this, plus there was also the temptation of Bai Shuxuan's room.
He immediately gritted his teeth and agreed.
Try it first!
It's just a little blood, anyway!
Under Cheng Zhihai's hands before, he had not suffered anything.
Now it's just a little blood, but it's also relaxed!
