Chapter 62: The County Lord
Half a month passed in a flash, Zhao Xinming lived here in Yaolao, reciting a "poison codex" every day, and then the two studied together. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info relied on the medicinal materials here of Yao Lao, and the two benefited a lot. During this period, Qinghou did not give up, and organized three more investigations in the mansion. Yao Lao also came here three batches of guards, and each time he was sent away by Yao Lao. Half a month later, Qinghou finally gave up, and for many days, the wind and waves in the house were calm, and no one mentioned the matter again. Yao Lao also kept his promise and smuggled Zhao Xinming out of the Hou Mansion in the name of going home.
Yao Lao's hometown of Wuyang County is in the northeast of Qingzhou City, about two days apart. Out of Qingzhou City, Yao Lao drove the carriage all the way to the northeast. The carriage walked quietly on the official road, and when it reached a fork in the road, Yao Lao looked at the front and back from a distance, and there was no one, so he stopped the carriage.
"Zhao Xinming, come out. Yao Lao jumped out of the carriage and shouted loudly.
After a while, the medicinal herbs stacked on the carriage shook for a while, Zhao Xinming struggled to squeeze open a gap, got out of it, looked up left and right, and said happily: "You are old." ”
"Zhao Xinming, it's me who wants to say thank you. Yao Lao sighed, and then said, "If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would have been able to hold on." ”
"Yao Lao, it's serious. Zhao Xinming wanted to comfort a few words, but after thinking for a while, he had nothing to say.
After being silent for a while, Yao Lao suddenly took out a small porcelain bottle, stroked it for a while and said: "Zhao Xinming, the old man has no long things, but these few pills are made by the old man with great effort, and now I will give it to you as a souvenir." ”
After speaking, Yao Lao handed over the small porcelain bottle, and Zhao Xinming hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it. Open the cap, smell a fragrance to the nose, look down, the porcelain bottle is placed in the whole body of the snow-white pills, crystal clear, faint in the luster, a look at the extraordinary product.
"Yao Lao, this thing is too precious, I dare not be ashamed. Zhao Xinming immediately sent the porcelain vase back.
"Precious?" Yao Lao shook his head and said with a sneer, "Zhao Xinming, do you know what this pill is for?"
"This?" Zhao Xinming was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
"Hehe, looking at the appearance of this medicine, who would have thought that this was poison?" muttered the medicine elder.
Zhao Xinming was shocked in his heart, and only heard Yao Lao say slowly: "Zhao Xinming, I have lived in the Hou Mansion for more than 20 years, and every time I see those elite men dying tragically in front of me, I can't do anything, and my heart is as uncomfortable as a pinprick. In this way, I suddenly had the idea of killing Qinghou, so I painstakingly studied the art of poison, but how difficult it was to refine a poison that was extremely poisonous and could make Qinghou defenseless, I studied it for ten years without progress. It wasn't until one time that I inadvertently added a highly toxic drug called 'Blue Blood Lotus' that I refined what I was looking for. ”
Yao Lao poured out a pill and continued, "I gave this thing a name, it's called 'Dengxian Pill'. Zhao Xinming, you must not underestimate this pill. I've tried to poison ten cows with a little powder scraped from this pill. According to my estimates, this pill can poison at least three hundred cows!"
Zhao Xinming was taken aback, and was about to speak, when he heard Yao Lao continue: "Zhao Xinming, I have my wish now, and I don't want to poison Qinghou anymore." When you walk the rivers and lakes in the future, you will inevitably encounter some unexpected situations, so this will be given to you for self-defense. After speaking, Yao Lao handed over the porcelain bottle again.
Zhao Xinming's heart suddenly warmed, he took it with both hands, and said softly: "Thank you, Yao Lao." ”
Yao Lao nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll send you here, from here to the north out of Qingzhou, which is the boundary of Bingzhou." I only know that Ling Tianzong is in the state, but I don't know where he is. When you get there, ask somebody!"
Zhao Xinming nodded, bowed deeply, and strode north. Yao Lao stood for a long time, until he couldn't see Zhao Xinming's back, then he let out a long sigh and drove the carriage forward.
At this time, on the official road more than 20 miles behind Zhao Xinming, more than a dozen carriages were slowly moving. In the middle of the convoy was a carriage that was not only wide, but also extraordinarily luxuriously decorated. There were two people sitting in the carriage, one master and one servant, both girls of sixteen or seventeen years old, very beautiful. Especially the owner, dignified and delicate, at first glance, everyone is beautiful.
"County Lord, that Zheng Gongzi is so annoying. The little girl chattered all the way.
The county lord was silent and did not react at all. The little maid continued unrelentingly: "How can the county lord marry such a person? ”
"Liu'er, how can you see the prince casually. The county lord frowned and scolded.
"County Lord, Liu'er is complaining about you. Liu Er sighed and continued, "County Lord, don't you know how bad that Zheng Gongzi is? I heard that none of those maids in his house escaped his clutches. Not only that, this person doesn't know how to learn, he is in cahoots with that Li Meng, and he doesn't know how many bad things he has done in Qingzhou City. ”
"Liu'er, I know you're good for me, but it's not as simple as you think. The county lord sighed, once upon a time, he was so innocent, until the master explained all this, he completely woke up.
"County Lord, you don't tell Liu'er if you have something on your mind, don't you want Liu'er anymore?"
"Okay, Liu'er, can't I tell you?" The county lord had no choice but to say, "The prince is not interested in Zheng Gongzi, but General Zheng." ”
"County Lord, this is too unfair to you. Liu Er was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "County Lord, why don't you take me and run away with me, I read that this is written in many books." ”
"You. The county lord sighed and was silent.
Just then, the carriage suddenly stopped. The two glanced at each other, pushed open the carriage, and saw a military general kneeling in front of the car, and said loudly: "Qiqi county lord, the post station has arrived, and please ask the county lord to indicate whether to stay here." ”
The county lord looked up and saw that the inn was in front of the convoy, and a few simple houses were already dilapidated. The Great Zhou Dynasty is getting worse and worse, the war is stacked, and many roads and pavilions built by the imperial court have either been abandoned or destroyed, and the same is true of the post station in front of them, but what makes people feel strange is that there is still a faint light in the house.
The county lord looked at it for a while and nodded, "Commander Liu, just stay here for the night, and then hurry up early tomorrow morning." ”
"The subordinates obeyed. Commander Liu immediately took the order and retreated.
Soon everything was arranged, and a group of guards guarded the county lord into the post station. There are a total of 6 houses in the inn, two of which have completely collapsed, the other three are badly damaged, and only one is relatively intact, and the light is coming from this house. Commander Liu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon the door opened, and out came a young man dressed as a scholar, handsome, with a slight scar on his face, adding a bit of masculinity, this person was Zhao Xinming.
Zhao Xinming opened the door, but it was a general, and he couldn't help frowning. Looking up, I saw a young girl standing not far away, smiling and elegant. The two glanced at each other, and the county lord suddenly blushed, and quickly turned his head.
