Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dragon Elder is still powerful

After a while, Zhang Fan and Eunuch Zhao came to a hazy white veil. Zhang Fan saw that there seemed to be a person sitting quietly on the big bed behind the gauze tent, but his eyes were staring at him, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Grass people Zhang Fan knocks on my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" After a while, the man said lightly: "Come in." Zhang Fan thanked him: "Thank you, Emperor Wu!" Then Eunuch Zhao quietly left the gauze tent, and Zhang Fan also walked in quickly.

As soon as Zhang Fan entered the bedroom, he saw at a glance the emaciated emperor wearing a golden dragon robe and a crown of beaded brocade, sitting on a yellow silk fragrant wood bed, and on both sides stood nine beautiful young women with thousands of manners, wearing only an almost transparent tulle. Zhang Fan suddenly felt unbearable, his face flushed, and then he endured it again, and hurriedly said: "The Holy Forgiveness of Sins, the grass people are rude." ”

The emperor didn't reply immediately, just looked at Zhang Fan lightly, and didn't move. Zhang Fan was terrified, sweating like rain for a while, and he didn't know where he had offended the emperor.

After a long while, the emperor said lightly: "Go and wipe Zhang Fan's sweat." Hearing this, the two palace maids in yellow skirts slowly came to Zhang Fan to wipe his sweat. Zhang Fan said in panic: "Holy Longen, the grass people will die hard. As he spoke, he made a gesture to bow down. The emperor said lightly: "There is no need to kneel and worship. Zhang Fan had no choice but to give up and let the palace maid wipe his sweat, while he stayed silent.

After a while, the emperor said lightly: "I heard that you have treated nearly a million civilians in Shuoyue City in half a day?" Zhang Fan hurriedly said: "The saint praises falsely, the grass people have used the convenience of the elixir to recuperate their bodies for everyone, and they dare not take credit." The people were able to get rid of the entanglement of illness thanks to the power of the Holy Dragon. The emperor said: "The black sword on your body should just be a decoration, right?" Zhang Fan was terrified when he heard this: "The Holy Forgiveness of Sins." The grass people only saw that the black sword was heavy and wanted to carry it on their backs for exercise, but they had not taken it off before. disturbed the Holy One, and died of sin. The emperor said lightly: "I don't think you will use that clumsy guy as a weapon." Zhang Fan said gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding." The emperor said again: "I heard that you have taken in a group of bandits and formed some True Dragon Sect, right?" Zhang Fan knelt on the ground when he heard this, and said in fear: "Holy Mingjian, the grass people are just starting out of the mountains, and they have no place to settle down and a suitable livelihood. He was afraid that the bandits would harass the common people, so he used the prestige of the saint to eat and drink there. The emperor smiled and said, "You don't have to be so excited. A gang of thieves with thousands of people is not as good as a small family in the capital. I can't look at it yet. Zhang Fan hurriedly said: "As a citizen of Qi State, the grass people should go to the soup and fight for the fire for the saint, and they will not give up. The Emperor laughed and said, "Okay, I want you to say that." Haha......"

Slightly. The emperor's face flushed and receded, and he said with a smile: "Imperial Doctor Zhang's medical skills are proficient, I haven't slept well recently, you can help me take a look." Hearing this, Zhang Fan replied: "Yes, Holy Lord." As he spoke, he hurried forward.

At this time, a palace maid brought a low table and put it in front of the bed, Zhang Fan sat down when he saw this, and said, "Please also ask the saint to stretch out his left hand, and the grass people will first diagnose the pulse and listen to the sound." The Emperor agreed. Then Zhang Fan gently picked up the emperor and covered it with spots. The left hand with the green tendons slightly exposed, the index finger touched. He probed slightly. He felt that although the emperor's pulse was a little weak, it was quite stable, and he was slightly suspicious in his heart, so he immediately injected a trace of internal breath into his body, and silently sensed it, only to know that the emperor's body was already in tatters, and his own yang energy had been greatly reduced. Zhang Fan knew that there was already a doctor in the palace who was no less skilled than himself, and that doctor was really smart, and he came up with such a way to prolong the life of the old emperor.

After a long while, Zhang Fan had already thought of a countermeasure, his face remained unchanged, and he said, "Holy Lord, it's okay." The emperor was slightly suspicious, and then smiled and said, "What did Imperial Doctor Zhang find?" Zhang Fan said lightly: "Holy Lord, rest assured, your body is fine now." Originally, the life of the holy dragon was extended, but you worked hard for the community for too long, and the dragon's body gradually weakened, so you often felt tired. Later, the imperial doctor prescribed you an elixir to replenish qi and blood, reconcile yin and yang, and now the dragon body has gradually improved. However, the Imperial Physician did not fundamentally solve the stubborn disease of the Holy Heaven. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was shocked and said: "Oh, you mean that I can become more powerful than before and give birth to heirs!" Zhang Fan smiled and said: "What the Holy Lord said is good, the inner breath is the essence of the martial artist, and the Holy Lord does not lack the elixir to nourish the body, but does not transform the elixir into the internal breath, prolongs the dragon's life, and cultivates intensively." The emperor laughed and said, "Zhang Fan is worthy of being a miracle doctor, and I said that those quacks only know how to spend effort on medicines, but they can't diagnose the real cause of my illness." ”

The emperor then asked: "Then according to Zhang Aiqing's intentions, what should I do in order to improve my cultivation, prolong my life, and finally give birth to a dragon son?" Zhang Fan replied: "The warriors of the Rong State and the Yuan State are good at exercising, and their lifespans are longer than those of the scholars of the Nalu Kingdom. The saint spent more time cultivating martial arts, exercising his body, and absorbing the elixir contained in the dragon body, so that he could raise himself to be as strong as a young man. ”

The emperor laughed and said, "Zhang Aiqing's words are exactly what I mean. When I heard Aiqing's words today, I knew that I had listened to the nonsense of the quack doctors before, and I had wasted a good time. I can untie the knot in my heart, Aiqing is indispensable, I decided to seal you as the imperial doctor, give you a Los Angeles mansion, 100,000 taels of gold, and the nine palace maids around me were my personal maids, and they were also rewarded to Zhang Aiqing. Zhang Fan said in horror when he heard this: "The saint forgives the sins, the palace maid is the saint slave and maidservant, how dare the minister climb high?"

The emperor smiled and said: "What does Zhang Aiqing mean by this, thinking that there is no palace maid in the palace?" Zhang Fan said: "The minister does not dare to say anything. The emperor smiled again: "Aiqing doesn't have to be afraid, how can I take back my life lightly." Zhang Fan was helpless, so he had to thank: "Thank you, Holy Lord." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the emperor said lightly: "I am also tired, today's matter is like this, you can take a few handmaidens back." Zhang Fan replied: "Thank you, the minister, the minister retired." So saying, he stepped back, and only when he reached the tent did he turn and leave. At the same time, the nine palace maids had already put on strict gauze skirts and followed Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan led the maids out of the palace, and saw that Eunuch Zhao was waiting for him outside the palace before, and he had not waited for him to say hello. Eunuch Zhao pointed to the blue-robed eunuch behind him and said with a smile: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, the miscellaneous family is waiting for the imperial doctor here according to the orders of the saint." This is Xiao Lizi, the godson of the miscellaneous family, and he will take you to your mansion in the capital. As soon as Eunuch Zhao's voice fell, Xiao Lizi, who was wearing a blue eunuch suit, stepped forward and said, "Xiao Lizi has seen Imperial Doctor Zhang." Hearing this, Zhang Fan smiled at Eunuch Zhao and said, "I'm sorry for Gonggong Zhao, take my leave." Then he said to Xiao Lizi: "Father-in-law Li, let's go." Saying that, he and Xiao Lizi left quickly with nine maids. Eunuch Zhao smiled slightly when he saw this, and then walked quickly towards the Jade Liquid Palace.

After a while, Eunuch Zhao came to the tent outside the emperor's bedroom, and said respectfully: "Holy Lord, the slave and maid have sent that kid according to your instructions." Then the emperor's hearty laughter came out: "Haha, Xiao Cheng did a good job." In my Qi country, even if an ant is born, it belongs to me. This kid has a great source of fortune, and he may not have been controlled by this emperor, but today he threw himself into the net, but he didn't have to worry about it. When the emperor raises him a little stronger, he will let him out. That Qin Hui and Gao Yu, as well as my second brother, have been a little unkind these days. If they dare to ignore my majesty, I will let them know the consequences of angering me. Eunuch Zhao replied: "The saint is wise." The king of Zhennan was mad, disregarded brotherhood, and provoked the saint, and he really deserved to be punished. The Emperor pondered for a while, and then said, "Go down, I plan to rest for a while." Eunuch Zhao said respectfully: "Yes, Holy Lord." Then Eunuch Zhao went down.

After a while, an ethereal fairy sound sounded in the Jade Liquid Palace. Obviously, the old emperor had untied the knot in his heart before, and he really planned to cultivate his internal strength. However, it is unknown what the outcome of the matter will be, and whether the old emperor will be able to revive the sunset.

At this time, Zhang Fan had come to a mansion that looked a little rough, and saw a dark iron plaque hanging above the dark red vermilion lacquer gate, with four vigorous characters on it, and two dark black black lions stood on both sides of the gate, which looked mighty and extraordinary. The green brick walls were covered with thick moss, and the ground was covered with layers of yellow leaves, and the whole mansion looked a little bleak, as if a sad atmosphere enveloped it.

Seeing this, Xiao Anzi said, "Master Taiyi, this is the mansion that the Holy Lord has rewarded you. Zhang Fan saw that this mansion had obviously been uninhabited for a long time, and asked with a puzzled face: "Xiao Lizi, are you sure this is my mansion?" Xiao Lizi replied, "It won't be wrong, my lord." This mansion can be said to have been the most luxurious mansion in the capital except for the imperial palace, and it was the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the residence of the king of Pingxi. Later, Zhan Tian was sentenced for failing the grace of the saint, the nine clans were sentenced, and this mansion was also idle, although no one lived, but in order to commemorate the merits of Zhan Tian, the saint still sent people to take care of the mansion all year round. ”

Zhang Fan had already scolded the eighteenth generation of ancestors of the old emperor in his heart at this time, the emperor had almost killed the whole family, and he also pretended to commemorate the merits of others, which was really shameless. But the old emperor is really dark-hearted, he left this mansion to warn those ministers, tell them to restrain their ambitions, and now the emperor has given himself this dilapidated mansion that has been idle for nearly twenty years, and the meaning of his words is self-evident. The emperor has long been dissatisfied with himself entering the palace with a black sword on his back and creating the True Dragon Sect, but he seems to be able to use himself and has not moved himself for the time being. The emperor sent nine beauties to himself, each of them was an innate martial artist, although they were only early and mid-congenital masters, but they were obviously here to monitor their every move.

Zhang Fan pondered for a while and asked, "Xiao Lizi, have you arranged for someone to help me repair the house?" Eunuch Li smiled: "Lord Zhang said that he was joking, don't look at the dilapidated mansion, but the interior furnishings are not bad at all, at least it is comparable to the mansions of the two great families of Qin and Gao." If the lord repairs it again, I am afraid it will be comparable to the small hall in the palace, which will cost millions of taels of silver. Zhang Fan smiled: "I see, thank you Xiao Lizi for reminding me." Let's go in and get some rest. Xiao Lizi smiled when he heard this: "No, my lord." The little ones have to go back to their lives. Zhang Fan smiled when he heard this: "Then forget it." Then Xiao Lizi said goodbye to Zhang Fan and left quickly. Zhang Fan said to everyone: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

Then Zhang Fan led the maid into the house. (To be continued......)
