Chapter 19: Healing the City Lord

At dawn, Wang Xuan got up early, and then went out of the room after a simple wash, he was about to give yesterday's meal to Xiao Er and said, "We didn't eat the food you gave yesterday, I'm really embarrassed." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis meal is a bit rancid, can you prepare another one for us like this?" Wang Xuan said politely.

The second child of this shop is not the one from yesterday, and said angrily: "Haven't you woken up yet?" You can live and play for nothing in the gluttonous city, but it is more difficult to eat for nothing, and our store is not so kind to give you food. ”

"Oh?" Wang Xuan looked at the food and said, "Then bring me another one according to this style, this is silver tael." Wang Xuan said and handed over a piece of silver, and the shopkeeper suddenly became respectful and said, "Master, I offended a lot just now, I will prepare it for you immediately, and I will send it to your room in a while." Do you want to throw this meal out?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to deal with this, you can just make a new one. Saying that, Wang Xuan returned to the room with the food, took out his bag of silver needles, and then tried the meal, sure enough, as he thought, this meal was poisonous, Wang Xuan couldn't help sweating behind his back, he was too full yesterday, and he didn't touch this meal, so he escaped this catastrophe, if they ate this meal yesterday, if the poison is mild, there is still a chance to detoxify, if it is a strong poison, I am afraid they will die. Wang Xuan thought about it carefully, the person who poisoned him should be the man in black before, after all, they had just entered the rivers and lakes, and they seemed to be such an enemy of life and death. Wang Xuan realized that these black-clothed people must have arrived in Gluttonous City, and already knew their whereabouts, fortunately, they could not use force in Gluttonous City, otherwise they might have been arrested and Xiao Yu, it seems that they should be careful in the future, especially pay attention to food, poisoning is a more effective means for them now.

At this time, Xiao Yu woke up, Xiao Yu saw Wang Xuan in a daze at those dishes from yesterday, so he walked over and said, "Brother Xiao Xuan, what's wrong? I was hungry in the morning, and I felt that yesterday was a waste of these foods." ”

Wang Xuan didn't want to hide it from Xiao Yu, but he was worried that he would tell Xiao Yu about these things, and Xiao Yu impulsively sought revenge on those black-clothed people, even if he didn't look for it, he would not be able to eat the local delicious food happily because of this poisoning thing.

"It's really a pity, I knew we should have eliminated him yesterday, haha, I've asked the shopkeeper to make an exact one, and I'll send it over in a while. Hurry up and wash up, and we'll go out for a walk when we're done eating. See when that food temple fair starts. ”

Money can make ghosts grind, after the second junior of this shop took the money, the speed was also quite fast, and he knocked on the door in less than a pillar of incense and said, "Young master, I brought you the meal you wanted." ”

Wang Xuan opened the door and said, "Thank you, please let me ask again, when will the food temple fair start, and where is the specific location?"

"You are the right person to ask this, the temple fair starts at night, in fact, it can be said that the whole city is having this temple fair, but it is the most lively in the middle of the city, there is also a kitchen god competition, chefs from all over the world will compete here, today should be the last day of registration. This temple fair is our most important festival, and you are so lucky. Xiao Er talked about this temple fair and gushed endlessly.

"Thank you, we'll definitely go check it out in the evening. Wang Xuan could only send off the guests tactfully. Xiao'er is usually used to seeing all kinds of people, and he is very eye-catching, and then closes the door and leaves.

After the shopkeeper left, Wang Xuan and Xiao Yu began to eat the food sent, Xiao Yu said: "Brother Xiao Xuan, should we participate in that Chef God Competition, with Brother Xiao Xuan's cooking skills, we will definitely be able to win the championship." ”

"I can only cook some game, and I'm not good at formal meals, so I can say no. How to compare with others. Wang Xuan said helplessly.

"Brother Xiao Xuan's grilled fish, hare soup will definitely win. Xiao Yu said affirmatively while eating.

"Haha, your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, I can't find the southeast and northwest of the boast, let's go to the city in a while and make plans. But it's a pity。。。。。 Wang Xuan said, and finally sighed meaningfully.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, what's the pity?" Xiao Yu asked a little puzzled.

Wang Xuan said with a wicked smile: "There is no competition for tasting food, if there is, you must be the first, hahaha." ”

Xiao Yu reacted and said a little coquettishly: "Brother Xiao Xuan bullied others, and people ignored you." He pretended to be angry and twisted his head to the side.

Wang Xuan saw that he was in a hurry, and hurriedly explained: "Xiao Yu, I didn't mean to. I...... ”

"Haha, Brother Xiaoxuan, I lied to you, if there is really such a competition, you can eat it, and you can win a prize. Xiao Yu said with a smile, and Wang Xuan was speechless.

After eating breakfast amid the laughter and laughter of the two, the two planned to go out for a walk, to the middle of the city, and to make a stand for the temple fair in the evening. After eating, the two went out of the inn together, and at this time, the people who were monitoring at the door noticed that Wang Xuan was fine, turned around and said to his companions: "You go and report to the fourth master, I will follow them." ”

Wang Xuan also went out and observed the surrounding situation intentionally or unintentionally, and also noticed the suspicious two, this time confirmed Wang Xuan's thoughts, Wang Xuan raised his vigilance in his heart, but he didn't show it, and walked towards the city with Xiao Yu.

The city is really lively, everyone is busy setting up stalls, building a platform for the temple fair, and people come and go. It's not lively. At this time, Xiao Yu pointed to a big flag and said, "That's the chef registration office, Brother Xiao Xuan, let's go over and have a look." ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look. Saying that, Wang Xuan followed Xiao Yu to the registration office. The banner reads: "Chef Contest Registration Office." There is a table next to this big flag, and there is a slightly chubby man sitting next to the table, and a beautiful woman with a bumpy figure, and there is a row of people in front of the table, Xiao Yu and they automatically line up, and a man in front of them turned his head and said to them, "Are you also here to sign up?"

"We don't know much about it, so we just come and see what other people say. Can this big brother help us introduce the situation of this competition?" Xiao Yu said first.

Xiao Yu was originally a beauty embryo with its own charm function, this man looked at the beauty and talked to himself, and nodded stupidly.

"Let's talk about it. Wang Xuan reminded on the side that he didn't want this obscene man to keep looking at Xiao Yu.

The man said embarrassedly: "The food temple fair is held once a year, and this kitchen god competition is held once every two years, as long as you have a good dish in cooking, you can participate, and the top 100 can get a token, with which you can eat and drink for free anywhere in the gluttonous city for a year." And as long as you sign up, each contestant will get two vouchers, and you can eat and drink at will on the day of the temple fair without spending money, so I'm here for this, my brother is not afraid of your jokes, I will only make noodles. ”

At this time, Xiao Yu on the side said a little excitedly: "Brother Xiao Xuan, you can report your name quickly, and we can eat at the temple fair." It doesn't cost money, what a good thing. Wang Xuan nodded.

The man next to him seemed to have found a fellow practitioner and said, "Little brother, you and I have the same purpose, many people called Hanako have participated, and I remember that one year there was a person named Hanako who won the championship with a dish called 'Flower Chicken'." ”

"Your name is Hanako, my brother Xiaoxuan is going to win the championship, and the soup made by Brother Xiaoxuan is good. Xiao Yu said unconvinced.

"Winning the championship, that's too difficult, only a master chef can win the championship, but this year's top three rewards are said to be very rich, gold, silver and bronze special kitchen knives, 100 taels of gold, and a village courtyard. The man said with a little envy.

"Haha, Brother Xiaoxuan, we have to participate in this, we have to eat, drink and make money. Xiao Yu is full of confidence in Wang Xuan.

"Okay, the first three are too difficult, if I'm more sure than the medical skills, this can only be tried, but we can at least eat for free one night today, so let's sign up." Wang Xuan is very content, he is not good at cooking, this time he has the mentality of playing, mainly to make Xiao Yu happy.

The man and the woman who managed the registration were more efficient, although Wang Xuan and they were at the back of the line, but it didn't take long to arrive, and the man didn't look up, and said, "Name?" But the beautiful woman next to him glanced at Wang Xuan a few more times, but it was just a few more glances, because this woman, the handsome man saw more.

"Wang Xuan" Wang Xuan is also very direct. The man quickly filled in some things, handed them to Wang Xuan and said: "This is a total of three pieces of paper, two free orders, and one game information, and there is time and corresponding competition table on it." Next. Wang Xuan took a look at it and walked away.

Wang Xuan and Xiao Yu planned to go shopping casually, but before they had gone far, a team of people and horses led by a man in white rushed towards Wang Xuan and them.

The man in white had clear eyebrows and a graceful demeanor, and when he saw Wang Xuan, he bowed his hand very politely and said, "May I ask if you are the miracle doctor on the side of the road yesterday?"

"I don't dare to be a miracle doctor, but I did help people see a doctor on the side of the road yesterday, and I don't know what advice Gongzi has. Wang Xuan said.

"Divine doctor, hello, my name is Zhu Haotian, my father has some old diseases, I don't know if the divine doctor can deign to come to the house, we will never treat the divine doctor badly. Zhu Haotian said politely.

Wang Xuan hesitated a little, because he was worried that this was a trap set by the man in black, but noticing that those suspicious people not far away were still there, Wang Xuan deduced that they should not be in a group, so he said: "It's okay to see a doctor, but I have one condition, I don't know if Gongzi can agree?"

Zhu Haotian nodded again and again and said, "As long as the divine doctor can cure my father's illness, not to mention one condition, it is ten, and a hundred is no problem." ”

"Then take a step to speak," Wang Xuan said and walked to the side with Zhu Haotian, and then said: "Childe, you pay attention to the two people in the corner of the east wall, they have been following us for a long time, I hope Childe will help me check their details, but don't disturb them, look at the people brought by Childe, this matter should not be difficult for Childe." ”

Zhu Haotian glanced at it and said, "No problem, then the divine doctor will come to the house with me." He made a gesture of please.

After the two finished speaking, they returned to their original positions, and Xiao Yu asked, "Brother Xiao Xuan, what did you whisper?"

"It's nothing, I'm just talking to them about the price," Wang Xuan could only hide from Xiao Yu first, Xiao Yu didn't care when he arrived, nodded and didn't speak, just when Wang Xuan and Xiao Yu were talking, he quietly ordered his subordinates to check the details of these people, Wang Xuan looked at Zhu Haotian's approach, and suddenly increased his good impression of him.

"Divine doctor, let's go. Zhu Haotian said. Wang Xuan pulled Xiao Yu and Zhu Haotian to walk side by side, Zhu Haotian chatted with Wang Xuan and them as he walked, and introduced the food temple fair to them in detail, there are some news that ordinary people can't know at all, as if he is the organizer, Wang Xuan is even more curious about the identity of this person.

But soon Wang Xuan and the others knew why Zhu Haotian was so familiar with this temple fair, because under the leadership of Zhu Haotian, they arrived at a mansion, and the door was decorated with great style, but what attracted Wang Xuan the most was the plaque on the top of the door, which read "City Lord's Mansion".

Wang Xuan looked at the plaque and said, "Childe, your father won't be the city lord, right?"

"Why not?" Zhu Haotian and Wang Xuan were familiar with each other, so they said a little jokingly.

"Yes, haha, I said that the son is so familiar with the food temple fair, it turned out to be the son of the city lord, and it was rude. Wang Xuan said a little embarrassed.

"Haha, don't make fun of me, Divine Doctor, compared to your real skills, I am willing to exchange this money and status for this. Zhu Haotian said very seriously, this Zhu Haotian has worked hard since he was a child, he is familiar with the four books and five classics, and his martial arts are far better than the younger generation, in fact, he is already very good. This doubled Wang Xuan's good impression of this son.

"Divine doctor, my father's situation is a little special, I can only take you alone, can you let this girl go to the hall first to eat something and rest. Zhu Haotian said in a consultative tone.

Wang Xuan looked at Xiao Yu, meaning to ask Xiao Yu's opinion, Xiao Yu said: "Brother Xiao Xuan, you go, I'll wait for you." ”

At this time, Zhu Haotian leaned into Wang Xuan's ear and whispered: "Don't worry, those people will never dare to come to the City Lord's Mansion, even if they come, I dare to guarantee that this girl is worry-free." This Zhu Haotian obviously saw Wang Xuan's concern.

"Okay, then Xiao Yu, you wait for a while, Childe, you help Xiao Yu prepare some food. Wang Xuan said. Zhu Haotian gave a few instructions, then took Wang Xuan towards the depths of the courtyard, came to a very secluded house, turned to Wang Xuan and said, "It's here, you wait a minute, I'll talk to my father first." Wang Xuan nodded.

Zhu Haotian came out after a while after entering, and said, "Divine doctor, you come with me." Wang Xuan followed Zhu Haotian into the room, and Wang Xuan was very curious about what this legendary city lord looked like.

After turning a few corners, he finally arrived, Wang Xuan looked at a man with white hair lying on the bed, looking very weak, he couldn't believe that this was the legendary city lord. However, Zhu Haotian's words made Wang Xuan have to believe it, "Father, this is the miracle doctor, I brought him here." ”

"Hello city lord, my name is Wang Xuan, and I have learned some skills from my master, I hope to help you. Wang Xuan said.

At this time, the city lord said in a slightly hoarse and weak voice: "Divine doctor, you are polite, then it will trouble you." ”

Wang Xuan stepped forward and said, "City Lord, I'll check your pulse first." ”

The city lord slowly stretched out his arm, Wang Xuan began to take the pulse, and Zhu Haotian watched Wang Xuan treat his father with anticipation.

Wang Xuan finished his pulse, slowly put the city lord's arm and said: "The city lord should be the recurrence of the old injury, your face is pale, your spirit is listless, you are tired and weak, your tone is low, and your pulse is slow and weak, this is a yin syndrome, you should have suffered internal injuries, and the other party's skills are cold, and they remain in your body, you have been suppressing, and recently broke out, causing you to fall ill." ”

The city lord was very surprised when he heard Wang Xuan's words, of course, it was not only the city lord himself who was surprised, but Zhu Haotian on the side was also surprised, because what he said about his father's situation was right.

At this time, the city lord spoke: "Sure enough, it is a divine doctor, I will not tell you, I once united all the masters to wipe out a top martial arts master who made trouble in the city, but we also paid a considerable price, I was also hit by him that time, at that time I tried my best but still could not completely remove the cold in the body, I can only rely on my own strength to suppress, recently in the breakthrough, the loss of power is too great, the result of the cold counterattack, so that I can not afford to be seriously ill, I in order to ensure the stability of the city, I did not dare to look for a doctor everywhere, fortunately, Xiao'er found you." ”

"City Lord, your cold qi is injured by the other party's true qi, so you still have to start from the aspect of true qi, and I am not completely sure of it, because this is the first time I have treated such a disease, but I am sixty percent sure. Wang Xuan said.

"You can treat it, I'm an old bone, and life and death are nothing. The city lord said.

"Father。。。。。。 Zhu Haotian was just about to say something, but was stopped by the city lord.

Wang Xuan looked at it and said: "The junior has learned the internal strength is purely positive, I am going to use my own skills to remove the cold for the city lord, Zhu Gongzi troubles you to protect the Dharma for us at the door, don't let people disturb us, I will heal the city lord now." ”

The city lord motioned to Zhu Haotian to do so, and Zhu Haotian walked up to Wang Xuan and said, "Divine doctor, I'm sorry to trouble you, I will definitely not let people disturb you." With that, he went out.

After Zhu Haotian went out, Wang Xuan also began to heal the city lord, both of them sat cross-legged, Wang Xuan sat back, with his palms against the back of the city lord, the energy continued to pass from Wang Xuan's body into the main body of the city, although the beginning was relatively smooth, but then Wang Xuan secretly complained, but now it can't be stopped, if it stops, not only the city lord's life is difficult to protect, but even Wang Xuan will attract backlash, so Wang Xuan can only grit his teeth and persevere, now for Wang Xuan, it can be said that life is like a year.

Finally finished, Wang Xuan finished his work and collapsed on the bed, on the contrary, the city lord seemed to be much more energetic, slowly opened his eyes, turned half of his body and saw Wang Xuan who was collapsed and said, "Divine doctor, thank you so much." ”

Wang Xuan smiled bitterly and waved his hand, he was too tired now.
