NOVEL NEXT Save the tragic villain in progress!
Chapter 46
Wan Jimiao was originally a mountain doctor with superb medical skills, living in the medicine valley far away from the hustle and bustle all the year round.Once when he was looking for poison in the desert, he was chased by a pack of wolves. He was rescued by Xie Jingyuan by accident and became an accompanying doctor in the army.
He is fifty-nine years old this year, with gray hair on his temples, so it is a bit embarrassing for an old man to come here late at night.But as soon as Wan Jimiao heard that the poison on Xie Jingyuan's body had yielded results, he immediately regained his energy, holding the research spirit not inferior to that of Chu Xinian, and read the "experimental draft" over and over again several times in front of the candlelight.
Jiuyong was still brooding over the assassin who escaped just now, and said to Xie Jingyuan with an ugly face: "General, then Chu Xinian is not a doctor, so how can he crack this strange poison, I'm afraid it's malicious, you must not accept it." Bewitched. Their masters and servants are not good people."
Xie Jingyuan was waiting for Wan Jimiao's result. Hearing this, he frowned, and said to Jiuyong in a gloomy voice, "You talk too much today."
Noisy.
Jiu Yong choked, and had no choice but to plead guilty with his sword in his arms: "This subordinate deserves to die."
Xie Jingyuan closed his eyes and waved his hand, signaling him to step back, and ordered: "Go and watch them two, don't take half a step out of the room."
Jiuyong took the order: "The subordinates will live up to their orders. If they dare to act rashly, they will kill Wuzhu directly!"
Xie Jingyuan opened his eyes suddenly, and scolded in a cold voice: "Idiot, let you see people, who told you to kill someone!"
Jiuyong paused: "...Yes."
The general means... can't kill him?
At the same time, Skylark was packing his bags in the house.While tidying up, she looked at the man in white who was dozing on the couch, and asked, "Sir, do we really want to go back?"
Although she also wanted to go back to Quyanghou's Mansion, that place obviously wasn't something she could just say.I'm afraid the palace will know about it before the door is entered.
"Naturally it's fake."
Chu Xinian lazily closed his eyes,
"You clean up slowly, the slower the better, just make a show for others to see."
Skylark glanced at the closed door, and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Young master, why did we make such a fuss today? Not only did we not steal the things, but we even started to scare the snakes. If General Xie wants to be held accountable later, what to do?"
Hearing the words, Chu Xinian suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, a dark light flashed in his light-colored pupils, and he smiled: "Who said today's outing is useless?"
Not only did he know where the military list was hidden, but he also wanted to make Xie Jingyuan never doubt himself again.Isn't this much better than rashly stealing things?
...For example, those idiots sent by Prince Jin's Mansion?
Chu Xinian put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes again, and said to himself, "We will get what we want soon."
And it's the kind of unknowing.
Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the vision is blocked.The lantern that Chu Xinian carried was specially made, with five sticks of wax burning inside.When the candlelight shines on the paper-pasted window, a natural curtain is formed. He flicks the human-shaped paper-cut that he prepared in advance, and the black shadow flashes, creating the illusion that there are people in the room.
And Jiuyong is suspicious by nature, and will definitely rush into the room to check when he hears the movement.As long as the skylark pinpoints the timing and opens the window secretly, he can fabricate a non-existent "assassin".
Xie Jingyuan had expected that someone would come to the Jin Palace to steal the list, so he sent a lot of people in advance.Hearing that the assassin broke in, he would immediately check to see if the most important thing had been stolen, and naturally left traces.
Of course, this strategy also has certain risks. It requires Chu Xinian's acting skills, Skylark's kung fu, and... Xie Jingyuan's little trust.
The former is indispensable, and the latter is especially important.
Yunque packed his bags and was about to go out to inquire about the news, but just as he opened the door, he saw that black-faced god Jiuyong guarding the door, and was shocked: "What are you doing here?!"
Hearing the sound, Chu Xinian opened his eyes, and when he turned his head, he saw Jiuyong leading people guarding the outside room, guessing in his heart that Xie Jingyuan might have ordered it.It's a different kind of house arrest, but it's better than being hacked.
Jiuyong didn't want to talk to Skylark, so he didn't answer.
Yunque was carrying the luggage, and felt that the visitor was not kind: "What about you, what are you doing here?"
She has one foot out the door.
Jiuyong Hengjian stopped her, and only said two words coldly: "Go back!"
The skylark hates him the most for attacking with a sword: "Grandma, I have to go out today, get out of the way!"
After she finished speaking, she rushed straight out, but Jiuyong couldn't draw his sword to kill people, so he didn't even think about it when he saw this, he hit Yunque's shoulder with his palm as fast as lightning, and beat him back directly.
Skylark couldn't dodge in time, hit the shoulder blade, and was hit on the ground with his palm.She covered her shoulders, pale and bitterly said: "You..."
Hit a woman!
Chu Xinian was originally watching the play in the back, but he was a little surprised when he saw Jiuyong make a move.He stepped off the bed, walked to Yunque and helped him up, and said in a low voice, "Since he won't let him out, we'll just stay here and don't cause any conflict."
Skylark got up from the ground, covered his shoulders and nodded: "Yes, young master."
So Jiuyong saw the door was slammed shut again.He paused and continued to watch.
At the same time, the poison on Xie Jingyuan's body also had results.According to Chu Xinian's experimental manuscript, Wan Jimiao mixed the fruit of the Bigen tree, the incense ash in the incense burner, the spices in the smoked ball, and the aromatic juice of each flower, and finally found some clues .
"It turned out to be four things mixed with poison."
Wan Jimiao put these four things into the small medicine cauldron that he carried with him, sniffed them for a long time, his complexion changed drastically.Just as Chu Xinian guessed, such advanced poisons were rarely seen in ancient times.
"This old man has only seen two mixed poisons in his life, but he didn't expect that there are four kinds of poisons in the general's courtyard!"
For some reason, Xie Jingyuan seemed unexpectedly calm.With sharp eyes, he picked up a grain of incense, and smashed it into pieces without using any force: "You mean the poison was put down here?"
Wan Jimiao was studying the ingredients of spices, and after many comparisons, he stroked his beard and frowned and said, "Seven Star Bamboo, Acacia, and Cangji, it's not surprising that these three medicinal materials are placed in spices, but these medicinal materials have not grown. It is highly poisonous when it is grown, and if it is made into a spice, it will also be harmful to the human body."
"Once these spices are smoky and mixed with the fruit flavor of the pecan tree, they will become half poisonous, and when they meet the musk in the aromatherapy ball, they will add half the toxicity. And the scent of seasonal flowers in the bottle will act as a trigger. Function, the mixing of these four things can make the five viscera gradually weaken."
After all, Wan Jimiao was a professional. After conducting a second investigation among the results that Chu Xinian had screened out, he quickly discovered the reason.
Among the spices, the immature seven-star bamboo, acacia, and thorn, together with the smell of the berry fruit, and the musk in the aromatherapy ball, when stimulated by the fragrance of seasonal flowers, become highly poisonous.
With all the tricks, the person who poisoned him really worked hard.
Xie Jingyuan silently clenched his fingertips, his eyes were vicious, and he ordered coldly to the attendant: "Go and find out, how did these things come from, and whose hands did they pass through? I have to dig three feet to find them out!"
Wan Jimiao shook his head, twirling a leaf in his hand: "I'm afraid this game has been arranged for a long time. According to the old man, the tree planted outside the courtyard is not a Bigeng tree, but a Shiyun tree. This tree is similar in appearance to the Bigeng tree. But because it is not easy to survive and smells fishy and sweet, it is not often grown."
He said and handed it to Xie Jingyuan: "Look, General, the leaf veins of the Bigeng tree are yellow, while the Shiyun tree is light gold."
This tree has been planted for at least a few years, and it was arranged by the inner government.If you want to dig deep, pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
Xie Jingyuan stared straight at him: "What is the solution to this poison?"
Wan Jimiao stroked his beard: "This poison invades the skin and damages the five internal organs. It cannot be explained, but it can only be adjusted slowly. The old man still needs to carefully consider it."
After he finished speaking, he picked up a pen and wrote a few prescriptions: "General, let's stop taking the medicine before. After all, the toxicity is too serious. From today on, I will give acupuncture every day to regulate the five internal organs. The old man will come back tomorrow."
Too many things happened today, Xie Jingyuan was a little restless, he frowned when he heard this, and hummed without emotion.
Wan Jimiao didn't know what came to mind, and suddenly asked: "By the way, General, who wrote this manuscript, I really want to discuss it."
"I'll tell you another day."
Xie Jingyuan confirmed the result, so he didn't wait any longer, and hurried back to his residence.Seeing Jiuyong guarding the door, he stopped slowly on the steps, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice, frowning and asked, "Is everyone inside?"
Jiu Yong paused, then nodded.
Xie Jingyuan gave him a sympathetic look: "Does it hurt anyone?"
Jiu Yong's neck was stiff, neither nodded nor shook his head: "..."
Xie Jingyuan didn't bother to wait for his reply, so he pushed the door open and went in, only to find Chu Xinian lying on the couch with his eyes closed.And the maid was packing her bag pitifully beside her, crying and wiping her tears.
Xie Jingyuan naturally didn't care why she was crying: "Get out."
Hearing this, Chu Xinian didn't go to sleep anymore, he slowly sat up from the couch, straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes: "The general said this to me?"
For those behind the scenes, taking Xie Jingyuan's life was obviously more important than a dispensable military list.But Chu Xinian's rash disclosure of the poisoning incident saved Xie Jingyuan's life in a sense, and invisibly removed the suspicion from him.
It would be unfair if someone suspected that he was trying to steal secrets.
Xie Jingyuan raised his eyebrows: "Which ear of yours heard this from you?"
After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the corner, seeing Yunque not moving: "Why, do you still want this general to invite you out?"
Skylark was so frightened that he stopped crying immediately, got up and backed out immediately.
Chu Xinian smiled: "The general is so majestic. Your subordinates just beat my maid. Doesn't the general want to repeat the old trick?"
Subordinate?who?Jiuyong?
Xie Jingyuan's expression was weird for a moment when he heard the words, his mental activity was probably the same as that of a skylark at this time, how could Jiuyong even hit women.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Chu Xinian got up, put on his boots, and sighed slowly: "Forget it, go back to Quyanghou's Mansion, I'm afraid there won't be a place for our master and servant here."
However, before he could leave in the future, someone grabbed his wrist.
Chu Xinian turned his head indifferently, and saw Xie Jingyuan frowning and staring at him: "What exactly do you want?"
The meaning of this sentence is actually mixed with a bit of softness. If you expand it, it can be translated as: Well, I misunderstood you. I will agree to whatever you want, but it is not too much.
"I don't want to."
Chu Xinian took advantage of the situation and sat back down, "It's just a disappointment."
He sighed and said: "I really wanted to marry the general. Although I was treated poorly on the wedding night, my heart was not fake. I didn't expect that the heavens would not fulfill my wish. I always thought of the general, but I was treated as an old man. As a spy, since that’s the case, it’s better to go back.”
What he said seemed like Xie Jingyuan had done something cruel and inhumane to him.But God has eyes, Xie Jingyuan didn't even touch him with a finger.
Xie Jingyuan didn't want to take the blame: "When did this general wrong you?"
Chu Xinian: "Just now."
Xie Jingyuan: "I just asked a few questions, is this also called suspicion?"
Chu Xinian: "Since I don't doubt it, why aren't I allowed to enter the Yuhen Pavilion?"
Xie Jingyuan subconsciously said: "Who won't let you in."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Xinian staring at him inexplicably, and only then did he realize his gaffe.Xie Jingyuan was about to say something to explain, but he heard Chu Xinian say: "The general doesn't need to lie to me with these words, if you don't allow me to enter, then don't enter. Anyway, the general has doubted me for a day or two."
After he finished speaking, he said to himself: "It's just that if the general doubts me again next time, he doesn't have to ask those questions, just kill him directly. I can't bear to be wronged."
"..."
Xie Jingyuan was speechless for a moment, and the room suddenly fell into silence, only the hiss of the candles exploding.
Xie Jingyuan looked out of the window and saw that the outside was bare, and the bistem tree had been chopped down.Thinking of what Wan Jimiao had said, something in his heart that had always remained unmoved was shaken a little.
It's like a crack suddenly appears in a high wall, and you never know whether the crack is for a ray of sunlight or for it to collapse.
Xie Jingyuan finally said: "Chu Xinian, who are you loyal to?"
Quyanghou Mansion?King Jin?Or the emperor?
In short, no matter how you look at it, it will not be a prince.
The world is so big, could it be the king's land, and the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers.In this chaotic era, everyone has a monarch in their hearts, and everyone is desperately looking for the king who can make them submit.
This road is really difficult, and no one knows what lies at the end.It may be like Chu Jiaoping in the original book, who is full of flowers, or it may be like Xie Jingyuan in the original book, his veins were crippled, and he died in chains.
Chu Xinian's calm voice sounded in Xie Jingyuan's ears, but it was like a heavy hammer: "I am only loyal to my own heart."
He is not a person of this era, he has no national hatred, no wolf ambition.Everything he does is because of what he wants to do, not because of his loyalty to anyone.
This sentence is a bit rebellious, because there were very few people who were truly free in ancient times.They are either bound by their families, or by loyalty, or by fame and fortune, or by hatred.Everyone has something they can't let go of.
When Xie Jingyuan heard the words, his heart seemed to be stabbed by something, causing a secret pain.He didn't realize the specialness of Chu Xinian until now, stared at him for a long time, and said word by word: "But your brother is loyal to King Jin."
Chu Xinian's expression remained unchanged, he raised his eyebrows and said, "But the general is also loyal to the crown prince."
One is the biological brother, and the other is the good in-laws.Xie Jingyuan can doubt Chu Xinian because of Chu Jiaoping, and others can also doubt Chu Xinian because of Xie Jingyuan.
To put it bluntly, Chu Xinian's current situation is in a dilemma, and he is not a human being inside or outside.
"..."
Xie Jingyuan didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long time, he finally said slowly: "Chu Xinian, then I will trust you once, but if you dare to betray me in the future, I will not only kill you, but also all the people in Quyanghou's house will be killed." Fate, do you dare or not?"
Xie Jingyuan's trust is very expensive, and the price is also very high.One life can't be exchanged, hundreds of lives plus Chu Xinian can only be exchanged for a little bit.
Chu Xinian asked back, "Why don't you dare?"
The two of them were very close, breathing together, without distinction between you and me.When Chu Xinian turned his head slightly, he could touch the cold mask on Xie Jingyuan's face. He smiled like a spring breeze, and said in a low voice, "I will definitely live up to the general's expectations."
Chu Xinian thought to himself, Xie Jingyuan should really be glad that he is not from King Jin.Otherwise, entrusting trust so easily and developing along the history of the original work, I am afraid that the other party's ending will still be inevitable.
Xie Jingyuan didn't hear what Xi Nian was saying clearly, he felt in a trance that when the other party said this, he said it with the mask on his right face, and the temperature was conveyed without any difference.
At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door outside. It turned out that the medicine boy next to Wan Jimiao came to give Xie Jingyuan an injection.In his hand was a tray filled with three bowls of black concoction.
Xie Jingyuan frowned: "Where's your master?"
The little drug boy bowed fatly: "Go back to the general, Master, he is old and feels sleepy, so he went back to rest first, and told me to stay and give the general daily injections."
That's right, it's not difficult to give needles, there's no need to bother an old man with a gray beard running back and forth.
Xie Jingyuan took a look at Chu Xinian, then looked away, got up and walked into the inner room, and the little drug boy followed him in after seeing this.When walking to the shadow, there seemed to be some shiny powder on Xie Jingyuan's sleeve, but he couldn't see it clearly.
Seeing this, Chu Xinian paused, got up and opened the curtain to follow in, and said with a smile, "General."
Xie Jingyuan was undressing, when he heard his voice suddenly, he quickly put it back on: "What are you doing here?"
Chu Xinian walked behind him, lowered his voice, and said as a matter of course: "Naturally, he undressed the general."
Xie Jingyuan paused when he heard the words, but before he could make a sound to stop him, he saw that Chu Xinian's hands had already passed through his waist, and with a quick twist of his fingertips, he untied his belt in twos and twos.The outer robe lost its restraint, and immediately fell from his shoulders, revealing Xie Jingyuan's strong body.
Xie Jingyuan didn't know why, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously pressed Chu Xinian's hand.
Chu Xinian smiled lowly: "General, don't worry, I'm not a disciple."
As he said, he couldn't help but look down.Xie Jingyuan coughed up blood due to a serious illness, and his face was always pale.The body is wheat-colored, covered with sores and sword scars, with a slender proportion and a thin waist, which is in line with the broken beauty of later generations.
good body.
Chu Xinian didn't know who had heard a nasty remark before, saying that a person with this figure must be very exciting to fuck.
However, he was not interested in this kind of thing, and the idea came out of nowhere, which even made him feel strange.
It took Chu Xinian a little force to pull the clothes out of Xie Jingyuan's tightly clenched hands, feeling inexplicably as if he was being forced by a bully.He brushed his sleeves without any trace, until some of the powder fell off, and then he smiled and said: "General, let's get the needle."
Xie Jingyuan was stiff and didn't look back at him.
Chu Xinian opened the curtain and went out, then carefully inspected the clothes in his hands with downcast eyes, and made sure that there was nothing left on the sleeves, so he casually put the clothes on the chair.
However, before he could sit down, he heard a cold reprimand from inside, and then a black shadow flew out from the curtain, rolled on the ground twice before stopping, it was the chubby little drug boy just now.
Seeing this, Chu Xinian's expression froze, thinking that something had happened, subconsciously rushed into the inner room to check.But Xie Jingyuan pulled a needle from his shoulder with a gloomy expression, and then threw it on the ground viciously.
He is a martial artist, how could he allow an unfamiliar drug boy to give him an injection.Before he could adapt in the future, his body had already reacted first and knocked out the opponent.
Abbreviation, conditioned reflex.
Xie Jingyuan looked at the drug boy with a dark gaze, and said coldly: "Get out!"
Their masters and servants are not good things.One hits a child, the other hits a woman.
The little drug boy was startled, he sat on the ground in a daze for a few seconds, then reacted with a grin, and burst into tears.While crying, he yelled, "Master, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Master..."
Tears fell down like beans, and I kicked my legs like a child throwing a tantrum.
Chu Xinian watched it with great interest, thinking that this is a warrior who dared to cry and lose his temper in front of Xie Jingyuan.He ignored Xie Jingyuan's ugly face, took a cantaloupe from the fruit plate, and squatted down in front of the child: "Here, don't cry, take it and eat it."
Ancient times are no better than later generations, this melon is a rarity.Only people of Xie Jingyuan's level can be allocated a share.
Seeing this, the fat drug boy stopped crying, sobbing, and hugged the melon into his arms.I struggled to get up from the ground, still sobbing: "I want to find Master...you are all bad...bad people..."
Opening the door a crack, the chubby body squeezed out with difficulty, and disappeared in an instant, not even taking care of the prescriptions scattered on the ground.
Seeing this, Chu Xinian picked it up and took a look, only to see that the acupoints to be needled were marked on it, which was fairly clear.He walked into the inner room with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "The general is really a child at heart."
Can't get along with a brat.
Xie Jingyuan closed his eyes: "Are you here to see my joke?"
Chu Xinian smiled: "Of course I'm worried about the general's condition. The doctor has left. Who can I ask to give you an injection?"
Xie Jingyuan casually tore off a piece of clothing and put it on again: "Don't tie it up."
But Chu Xinian pressed his shoulders, and with a little force, he took off the clothes that Xie Jingyuan had just put on.
Xie Jingyuan choked for breath: "What are you doing?"
Chu Xinian found the needle-rolled cloth, and slowly spread it out on his knees.His slender fingertips slowly massaged Xie Jingyuan's stiff muscles, spraying hot breath into the other's ears, and whispered: "General, relax, or you won't be able to penetrate."
Hearing this, Xie Jingyuan not only failed to relax, but became even more rigid.He clenched his fingertips silently, resisting his instinct to fight back: "You go out too."
He can't do this kind of thing that exposes his dead point to others.
Chu Xinian ignored, and slowly massaged Xie Jingyuan's stiff body until the other person relaxed and softened, then took a silver needle and slowly stabbed it into his shoulder.
Xie Jingyuan felt the tingling pain, and his eyelids twitched: "You also studied medicine?"
Chu Xinian had studied medicine for a few years, but he didn't study it after that, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said in a slow voice deliberately: "I haven't studied it, but luckily the doctor left a picture book, so I'll make a piercing according to it. "
Xie Jingyuan squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and directly pulled Chu Xinian in front of him with his backhand, and said with a sneer, "You are so brave, you dare to give me an injection without learning it all day?!"
If he was stabbed to death on the bed, it would be a joke if word spread that he Xie Jingyuan was.He didn't die on the battlefield, he didn't die in the hands of King Jin, but he died in Chu Xinian...
In the hands of this hypocrite!
Chu Xinian did not expect that he would strike suddenly, his body lost his balance, and the silk quilt slipped, and he accidentally pinned Xie Jingyuan under him.Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and quickly pulled the needle out of the opponent's body with his eyesight and hands.
"Well……"
Xie Jingyuan groaned under his pressure, and subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, but accidentally scratched Chu Xinian's shoulder, and the mask fell off with a clang.
Chu Xinian didn't react as half of his ferocious side face was exposed to the air.
Xie Jingyuan froze, his fingertips moved slightly, as if he wanted to raise his hand to cover it, but for some reason, he didn't move for a long time.
Chu Xinian twirled a needle with his fingertips, and looked down at him: "If the general moves around again, I can't be blamed for being stabbed to death."
Xie Jingyuan's Adam's apple moved, his voice suddenly became hoarse, and he said with a low smile: "I'm dead, you should get your wish."
His eyes are very special.The eyelids are slender and the tails of the eyes are raised, as if mocking all things in the world, whether they are living or dead.
Chu Xinian is unwilling to change anything in his book, but now that the story has jumped out of the pen and paper, it doesn't hurt to change it again.He moved the silver needle on his fingertips and said seriously: "I hope the general is alive."
Xie Jingyuan's chest rose and fell for a moment, but he didn't say anything: "..."
Chu Xinian repeated again: "I hope the general is alive."
If someone like Xie Jingyuan survived, he would probably become King Jin's most troublesome opponent.
Man has a strange habit.When seeing uneven scars, one would habitually want to touch them. As a former doctor, Chu Xinian's habit was even more obvious.
He stretched out his hand, slowly stroking the scar on Xie Jingyuan's face, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "How did you get hurt?"
Xie Jingyuan only felt that half of his face was numb. He wanted to turn his head, but his neck was so stiff that he couldn't control it, so he had to give up.He frowned and asked, "You want to know?"
Chu Xinian nodded, he really wanted to know.Xie Jingyuan has too many secrets in him.
Xie Jingyuan hooked his lips and chuckled lightly: "Aren't you very smart, guess for yourself."
Chu Xinian thought that no matter how smart a person is, he still needs to speculate on unknown facts based on known conditions. Xie Jingyuan didn't tell him anything, how could he guess.He sat up slowly, and stretched out his hand to Xie Jingyuan: "Okay, I'll try."
Xie Jingyuan stared at his slender hand without moving.
Chu Xinian smiled: "Get up and get the needle."
Only then did Xie Jingyuan grab his hand and use his strength to stand up.It's just that this time he was much more relaxed than before, and the acupuncture was not hindered.
While looking at the album, Chu Xinian looked for the acupoints, and he remembered something, and said, "General."
Xie Jingyuan was lying on the bed, when he heard this, he raised his face from the pillow and gave him a sideways look: "What are you doing?"
Chu Xinian said: "The house here has been incensed all the year round, and it has been contaminated by poison. I'm afraid it's not suitable to live in. Yuhen Pavilion has been vacant for a long time, why not move there."
Yuhen Pavilion doesn't use incense very much, there are bistem trees planted outside, just cut them down.
Xie Jingyuan heard the words with half-closed eyes, wondering what he was thinking, and asked with a half-smile, "Do you want to live in Yuhen Pavilion?"
But Chu Xinian said: "General, you can move by yourself. I have a sensitive identity. If I go, I'm afraid it will attract suspicion. Just find me a secluded place."
He deliberately brought up the matter of being wronged today.
Xie Jingyuan really couldn't hold back his face, he looked away, closed his eyes and said, "You move there with me."
Chu Xinian frowned slightly: "Is it not very good?"
Xie Jingyuan frowned: "If you are told to move, you can move!"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chu Xinian didn't say any more.He slowly withdrew the needle, smiled at Xie Jingyuan and said, "It's getting late, general, let's have a good rest."
After saying this, he got out of bed, returned to his own couch, blew out the lamps and candles, and the room suddenly fell into hazy darkness.
Xie Jingyuan slowly turned over, his back was densely packed, leaving a tingling pain remaining.He looked outside through the gauze, trying to see something, but found nothing.
There were ups and downs tonight, but finally it was calm.
However, in the early morning of the next day, an unexpected guest ushered in outside the general's mansion.Mei Fengchen, the chief envoy of the Lianjing Department, sent a post to visit, saying that someone found a female corpse in the suburbs of Beijing yesterday, which seemed to be related to Chu Xinian, and wanted to invite him to come out to see it.
Now the yamen servant was carrying the female corpse and stopped outside the door, attracting countless people to watch early in the morning, immediately surrounded the general's mansion, and there were endless discussions.
Mei Fengchen is the master who can't rub the sand in his eyes, and he is famous for not being afraid of the powerful.The year before last, he was promoted to the official history of the Lian Jing Division, and he was in charge of the life lawsuit in the capital. He acted vigorously and decisively, causing more than half of the dandies in the capital to fall. Seeing him walking with his tail between his legs, did he expect that he would kill his relatives righteously today?
That's right, it's just killing relatives.
Speaking of relatives, Mei Fengchen is still the second uncle of Chu Xinian's third aunt.
Carrying dead bodies to other people's houses is something only Mei Fengchen can do.When Xie Jingyuan heard the news, he sneered again and again, and ordered the archers to lie in ambush on the wall, while he walked to the gate to "greet" him.
Xie Jingyuan still looked as if he was dying of illness. He stared at Mei Fengchen sarcastically and ironically, coughed twice, and said inexplicably: "Master Mei sent the post early in the morning, it is really a rare visitor."
Mei Fengchen's face was serious: "I am also acting according to orders, General Xie, please forgive me. Someone found a female body in the suburbs of Beijing yesterday. It has been confirmed that it is Wenxianglou's top oiran, Jiuniang..."
Chu Xinian followed behind Xie Jingyuan. Hearing this, he frowned, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
Sure enough, Mei Fengchen took a look at Chu Xinian, paused, and then continued: "The bustard in Wenxianglou said that Jiuniang eloped with a wealthy son who escaped marriage a few days ago, and there is no news of it. "
Although he didn't name him, any fool could tell that he was talking about Chu Xinian.
Xie Jingyuan lowered his eyes when he heard the words, remembering the rumors of running away from marriage that had been raging a few days ago, he turned his head to look at Chu Xinian: "Didn't you say that the wedding day was robbed by gangsters?"
Chu Xinian nodded, unhurriedly: "It was indeed robbed by villains."
Xie Jingyuan chuckled lightly: "What about the villain?"
Chu Xinian paused when he heard the words, and subconsciously looked at the female corpse parked at the door, but it was covered by a white cloth, so he couldn't see anything, so he said slowly: "Maybe...she is it?"
"Maybe" and "probably", these three words are full of uncertainty.
The author has something to say: Chu Xinian (in deep thought): I haven't written this plot.
He is fifty-nine years old this year, with gray hair on his temples, so it is a bit embarrassing for an old man to come here late at night.But as soon as Wan Jimiao heard that the poison on Xie Jingyuan's body had yielded results, he immediately regained his energy, holding the research spirit not inferior to that of Chu Xinian, and read the "experimental draft" over and over again several times in front of the candlelight.
Jiuyong was still brooding over the assassin who escaped just now, and said to Xie Jingyuan with an ugly face: "General, then Chu Xinian is not a doctor, so how can he crack this strange poison, I'm afraid it's malicious, you must not accept it." Bewitched. Their masters and servants are not good people."
Xie Jingyuan was waiting for Wan Jimiao's result. Hearing this, he frowned, and said to Jiuyong in a gloomy voice, "You talk too much today."
Noisy.
Jiu Yong choked, and had no choice but to plead guilty with his sword in his arms: "This subordinate deserves to die."
Xie Jingyuan closed his eyes and waved his hand, signaling him to step back, and ordered: "Go and watch them two, don't take half a step out of the room."
Jiuyong took the order: "The subordinates will live up to their orders. If they dare to act rashly, they will kill Wuzhu directly!"
Xie Jingyuan opened his eyes suddenly, and scolded in a cold voice: "Idiot, let you see people, who told you to kill someone!"
Jiuyong paused: "...Yes."
The general means... can't kill him?
At the same time, Skylark was packing his bags in the house.While tidying up, she looked at the man in white who was dozing on the couch, and asked, "Sir, do we really want to go back?"
Although she also wanted to go back to Quyanghou's Mansion, that place obviously wasn't something she could just say.I'm afraid the palace will know about it before the door is entered.
"Naturally it's fake."
Chu Xinian lazily closed his eyes,
"You clean up slowly, the slower the better, just make a show for others to see."
Skylark glanced at the closed door, and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Young master, why did we make such a fuss today? Not only did we not steal the things, but we even started to scare the snakes. If General Xie wants to be held accountable later, what to do?"
Hearing the words, Chu Xinian suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, a dark light flashed in his light-colored pupils, and he smiled: "Who said today's outing is useless?"
Not only did he know where the military list was hidden, but he also wanted to make Xie Jingyuan never doubt himself again.Isn't this much better than rashly stealing things?
...For example, those idiots sent by Prince Jin's Mansion?
Chu Xinian put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes again, and said to himself, "We will get what we want soon."
And it's the kind of unknowing.
Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the vision is blocked.The lantern that Chu Xinian carried was specially made, with five sticks of wax burning inside.When the candlelight shines on the paper-pasted window, a natural curtain is formed. He flicks the human-shaped paper-cut that he prepared in advance, and the black shadow flashes, creating the illusion that there are people in the room.
And Jiuyong is suspicious by nature, and will definitely rush into the room to check when he hears the movement.As long as the skylark pinpoints the timing and opens the window secretly, he can fabricate a non-existent "assassin".
Xie Jingyuan had expected that someone would come to the Jin Palace to steal the list, so he sent a lot of people in advance.Hearing that the assassin broke in, he would immediately check to see if the most important thing had been stolen, and naturally left traces.
Of course, this strategy also has certain risks. It requires Chu Xinian's acting skills, Skylark's kung fu, and... Xie Jingyuan's little trust.
The former is indispensable, and the latter is especially important.
Yunque packed his bags and was about to go out to inquire about the news, but just as he opened the door, he saw that black-faced god Jiuyong guarding the door, and was shocked: "What are you doing here?!"
Hearing the sound, Chu Xinian opened his eyes, and when he turned his head, he saw Jiuyong leading people guarding the outside room, guessing in his heart that Xie Jingyuan might have ordered it.It's a different kind of house arrest, but it's better than being hacked.
Jiuyong didn't want to talk to Skylark, so he didn't answer.
Yunque was carrying the luggage, and felt that the visitor was not kind: "What about you, what are you doing here?"
She has one foot out the door.
Jiuyong Hengjian stopped her, and only said two words coldly: "Go back!"
The skylark hates him the most for attacking with a sword: "Grandma, I have to go out today, get out of the way!"
After she finished speaking, she rushed straight out, but Jiuyong couldn't draw his sword to kill people, so he didn't even think about it when he saw this, he hit Yunque's shoulder with his palm as fast as lightning, and beat him back directly.
Skylark couldn't dodge in time, hit the shoulder blade, and was hit on the ground with his palm.She covered her shoulders, pale and bitterly said: "You..."
Hit a woman!
Chu Xinian was originally watching the play in the back, but he was a little surprised when he saw Jiuyong make a move.He stepped off the bed, walked to Yunque and helped him up, and said in a low voice, "Since he won't let him out, we'll just stay here and don't cause any conflict."
Skylark got up from the ground, covered his shoulders and nodded: "Yes, young master."
So Jiuyong saw the door was slammed shut again.He paused and continued to watch.
At the same time, the poison on Xie Jingyuan's body also had results.According to Chu Xinian's experimental manuscript, Wan Jimiao mixed the fruit of the Bigen tree, the incense ash in the incense burner, the spices in the smoked ball, and the aromatic juice of each flower, and finally found some clues .
"It turned out to be four things mixed with poison."
Wan Jimiao put these four things into the small medicine cauldron that he carried with him, sniffed them for a long time, his complexion changed drastically.Just as Chu Xinian guessed, such advanced poisons were rarely seen in ancient times.
"This old man has only seen two mixed poisons in his life, but he didn't expect that there are four kinds of poisons in the general's courtyard!"
For some reason, Xie Jingyuan seemed unexpectedly calm.With sharp eyes, he picked up a grain of incense, and smashed it into pieces without using any force: "You mean the poison was put down here?"
Wan Jimiao was studying the ingredients of spices, and after many comparisons, he stroked his beard and frowned and said, "Seven Star Bamboo, Acacia, and Cangji, it's not surprising that these three medicinal materials are placed in spices, but these medicinal materials have not grown. It is highly poisonous when it is grown, and if it is made into a spice, it will also be harmful to the human body."
"Once these spices are smoky and mixed with the fruit flavor of the pecan tree, they will become half poisonous, and when they meet the musk in the aromatherapy ball, they will add half the toxicity. And the scent of seasonal flowers in the bottle will act as a trigger. Function, the mixing of these four things can make the five viscera gradually weaken."
After all, Wan Jimiao was a professional. After conducting a second investigation among the results that Chu Xinian had screened out, he quickly discovered the reason.
Among the spices, the immature seven-star bamboo, acacia, and thorn, together with the smell of the berry fruit, and the musk in the aromatherapy ball, when stimulated by the fragrance of seasonal flowers, become highly poisonous.
With all the tricks, the person who poisoned him really worked hard.
Xie Jingyuan silently clenched his fingertips, his eyes were vicious, and he ordered coldly to the attendant: "Go and find out, how did these things come from, and whose hands did they pass through? I have to dig three feet to find them out!"
Wan Jimiao shook his head, twirling a leaf in his hand: "I'm afraid this game has been arranged for a long time. According to the old man, the tree planted outside the courtyard is not a Bigeng tree, but a Shiyun tree. This tree is similar in appearance to the Bigeng tree. But because it is not easy to survive and smells fishy and sweet, it is not often grown."
He said and handed it to Xie Jingyuan: "Look, General, the leaf veins of the Bigeng tree are yellow, while the Shiyun tree is light gold."
This tree has been planted for at least a few years, and it was arranged by the inner government.If you want to dig deep, pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
Xie Jingyuan stared straight at him: "What is the solution to this poison?"
Wan Jimiao stroked his beard: "This poison invades the skin and damages the five internal organs. It cannot be explained, but it can only be adjusted slowly. The old man still needs to carefully consider it."
After he finished speaking, he picked up a pen and wrote a few prescriptions: "General, let's stop taking the medicine before. After all, the toxicity is too serious. From today on, I will give acupuncture every day to regulate the five internal organs. The old man will come back tomorrow."
Too many things happened today, Xie Jingyuan was a little restless, he frowned when he heard this, and hummed without emotion.
Wan Jimiao didn't know what came to mind, and suddenly asked: "By the way, General, who wrote this manuscript, I really want to discuss it."
"I'll tell you another day."
Xie Jingyuan confirmed the result, so he didn't wait any longer, and hurried back to his residence.Seeing Jiuyong guarding the door, he stopped slowly on the steps, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice, frowning and asked, "Is everyone inside?"
Jiu Yong paused, then nodded.
Xie Jingyuan gave him a sympathetic look: "Does it hurt anyone?"
Jiu Yong's neck was stiff, neither nodded nor shook his head: "..."
Xie Jingyuan didn't bother to wait for his reply, so he pushed the door open and went in, only to find Chu Xinian lying on the couch with his eyes closed.And the maid was packing her bag pitifully beside her, crying and wiping her tears.
Xie Jingyuan naturally didn't care why she was crying: "Get out."
Hearing this, Chu Xinian didn't go to sleep anymore, he slowly sat up from the couch, straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes: "The general said this to me?"
For those behind the scenes, taking Xie Jingyuan's life was obviously more important than a dispensable military list.But Chu Xinian's rash disclosure of the poisoning incident saved Xie Jingyuan's life in a sense, and invisibly removed the suspicion from him.
It would be unfair if someone suspected that he was trying to steal secrets.
Xie Jingyuan raised his eyebrows: "Which ear of yours heard this from you?"
After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the corner, seeing Yunque not moving: "Why, do you still want this general to invite you out?"
Skylark was so frightened that he stopped crying immediately, got up and backed out immediately.
Chu Xinian smiled: "The general is so majestic. Your subordinates just beat my maid. Doesn't the general want to repeat the old trick?"
Subordinate?who?Jiuyong?
Xie Jingyuan's expression was weird for a moment when he heard the words, his mental activity was probably the same as that of a skylark at this time, how could Jiuyong even hit women.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Chu Xinian got up, put on his boots, and sighed slowly: "Forget it, go back to Quyanghou's Mansion, I'm afraid there won't be a place for our master and servant here."
However, before he could leave in the future, someone grabbed his wrist.
Chu Xinian turned his head indifferently, and saw Xie Jingyuan frowning and staring at him: "What exactly do you want?"
The meaning of this sentence is actually mixed with a bit of softness. If you expand it, it can be translated as: Well, I misunderstood you. I will agree to whatever you want, but it is not too much.
"I don't want to."
Chu Xinian took advantage of the situation and sat back down, "It's just a disappointment."
He sighed and said: "I really wanted to marry the general. Although I was treated poorly on the wedding night, my heart was not fake. I didn't expect that the heavens would not fulfill my wish. I always thought of the general, but I was treated as an old man. As a spy, since that’s the case, it’s better to go back.”
What he said seemed like Xie Jingyuan had done something cruel and inhumane to him.But God has eyes, Xie Jingyuan didn't even touch him with a finger.
Xie Jingyuan didn't want to take the blame: "When did this general wrong you?"
Chu Xinian: "Just now."
Xie Jingyuan: "I just asked a few questions, is this also called suspicion?"
Chu Xinian: "Since I don't doubt it, why aren't I allowed to enter the Yuhen Pavilion?"
Xie Jingyuan subconsciously said: "Who won't let you in."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Xinian staring at him inexplicably, and only then did he realize his gaffe.Xie Jingyuan was about to say something to explain, but he heard Chu Xinian say: "The general doesn't need to lie to me with these words, if you don't allow me to enter, then don't enter. Anyway, the general has doubted me for a day or two."
After he finished speaking, he said to himself: "It's just that if the general doubts me again next time, he doesn't have to ask those questions, just kill him directly. I can't bear to be wronged."
"..."
Xie Jingyuan was speechless for a moment, and the room suddenly fell into silence, only the hiss of the candles exploding.
Xie Jingyuan looked out of the window and saw that the outside was bare, and the bistem tree had been chopped down.Thinking of what Wan Jimiao had said, something in his heart that had always remained unmoved was shaken a little.
It's like a crack suddenly appears in a high wall, and you never know whether the crack is for a ray of sunlight or for it to collapse.
Xie Jingyuan finally said: "Chu Xinian, who are you loyal to?"
Quyanghou Mansion?King Jin?Or the emperor?
In short, no matter how you look at it, it will not be a prince.
The world is so big, could it be the king's land, and the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers.In this chaotic era, everyone has a monarch in their hearts, and everyone is desperately looking for the king who can make them submit.
This road is really difficult, and no one knows what lies at the end.It may be like Chu Jiaoping in the original book, who is full of flowers, or it may be like Xie Jingyuan in the original book, his veins were crippled, and he died in chains.
Chu Xinian's calm voice sounded in Xie Jingyuan's ears, but it was like a heavy hammer: "I am only loyal to my own heart."
He is not a person of this era, he has no national hatred, no wolf ambition.Everything he does is because of what he wants to do, not because of his loyalty to anyone.
This sentence is a bit rebellious, because there were very few people who were truly free in ancient times.They are either bound by their families, or by loyalty, or by fame and fortune, or by hatred.Everyone has something they can't let go of.
When Xie Jingyuan heard the words, his heart seemed to be stabbed by something, causing a secret pain.He didn't realize the specialness of Chu Xinian until now, stared at him for a long time, and said word by word: "But your brother is loyal to King Jin."
Chu Xinian's expression remained unchanged, he raised his eyebrows and said, "But the general is also loyal to the crown prince."
One is the biological brother, and the other is the good in-laws.Xie Jingyuan can doubt Chu Xinian because of Chu Jiaoping, and others can also doubt Chu Xinian because of Xie Jingyuan.
To put it bluntly, Chu Xinian's current situation is in a dilemma, and he is not a human being inside or outside.
"..."
Xie Jingyuan didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long time, he finally said slowly: "Chu Xinian, then I will trust you once, but if you dare to betray me in the future, I will not only kill you, but also all the people in Quyanghou's house will be killed." Fate, do you dare or not?"
Xie Jingyuan's trust is very expensive, and the price is also very high.One life can't be exchanged, hundreds of lives plus Chu Xinian can only be exchanged for a little bit.
Chu Xinian asked back, "Why don't you dare?"
The two of them were very close, breathing together, without distinction between you and me.When Chu Xinian turned his head slightly, he could touch the cold mask on Xie Jingyuan's face. He smiled like a spring breeze, and said in a low voice, "I will definitely live up to the general's expectations."
Chu Xinian thought to himself, Xie Jingyuan should really be glad that he is not from King Jin.Otherwise, entrusting trust so easily and developing along the history of the original work, I am afraid that the other party's ending will still be inevitable.
Xie Jingyuan didn't hear what Xi Nian was saying clearly, he felt in a trance that when the other party said this, he said it with the mask on his right face, and the temperature was conveyed without any difference.
At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door outside. It turned out that the medicine boy next to Wan Jimiao came to give Xie Jingyuan an injection.In his hand was a tray filled with three bowls of black concoction.
Xie Jingyuan frowned: "Where's your master?"
The little drug boy bowed fatly: "Go back to the general, Master, he is old and feels sleepy, so he went back to rest first, and told me to stay and give the general daily injections."
That's right, it's not difficult to give needles, there's no need to bother an old man with a gray beard running back and forth.
Xie Jingyuan took a look at Chu Xinian, then looked away, got up and walked into the inner room, and the little drug boy followed him in after seeing this.When walking to the shadow, there seemed to be some shiny powder on Xie Jingyuan's sleeve, but he couldn't see it clearly.
Seeing this, Chu Xinian paused, got up and opened the curtain to follow in, and said with a smile, "General."
Xie Jingyuan was undressing, when he heard his voice suddenly, he quickly put it back on: "What are you doing here?"
Chu Xinian walked behind him, lowered his voice, and said as a matter of course: "Naturally, he undressed the general."
Xie Jingyuan paused when he heard the words, but before he could make a sound to stop him, he saw that Chu Xinian's hands had already passed through his waist, and with a quick twist of his fingertips, he untied his belt in twos and twos.The outer robe lost its restraint, and immediately fell from his shoulders, revealing Xie Jingyuan's strong body.
Xie Jingyuan didn't know why, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously pressed Chu Xinian's hand.
Chu Xinian smiled lowly: "General, don't worry, I'm not a disciple."
As he said, he couldn't help but look down.Xie Jingyuan coughed up blood due to a serious illness, and his face was always pale.The body is wheat-colored, covered with sores and sword scars, with a slender proportion and a thin waist, which is in line with the broken beauty of later generations.
good body.
Chu Xinian didn't know who had heard a nasty remark before, saying that a person with this figure must be very exciting to fuck.
However, he was not interested in this kind of thing, and the idea came out of nowhere, which even made him feel strange.
It took Chu Xinian a little force to pull the clothes out of Xie Jingyuan's tightly clenched hands, feeling inexplicably as if he was being forced by a bully.He brushed his sleeves without any trace, until some of the powder fell off, and then he smiled and said: "General, let's get the needle."
Xie Jingyuan was stiff and didn't look back at him.
Chu Xinian opened the curtain and went out, then carefully inspected the clothes in his hands with downcast eyes, and made sure that there was nothing left on the sleeves, so he casually put the clothes on the chair.
However, before he could sit down, he heard a cold reprimand from inside, and then a black shadow flew out from the curtain, rolled on the ground twice before stopping, it was the chubby little drug boy just now.
Seeing this, Chu Xinian's expression froze, thinking that something had happened, subconsciously rushed into the inner room to check.But Xie Jingyuan pulled a needle from his shoulder with a gloomy expression, and then threw it on the ground viciously.
He is a martial artist, how could he allow an unfamiliar drug boy to give him an injection.Before he could adapt in the future, his body had already reacted first and knocked out the opponent.
Abbreviation, conditioned reflex.
Xie Jingyuan looked at the drug boy with a dark gaze, and said coldly: "Get out!"
Their masters and servants are not good things.One hits a child, the other hits a woman.
The little drug boy was startled, he sat on the ground in a daze for a few seconds, then reacted with a grin, and burst into tears.While crying, he yelled, "Master, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Master..."
Tears fell down like beans, and I kicked my legs like a child throwing a tantrum.
Chu Xinian watched it with great interest, thinking that this is a warrior who dared to cry and lose his temper in front of Xie Jingyuan.He ignored Xie Jingyuan's ugly face, took a cantaloupe from the fruit plate, and squatted down in front of the child: "Here, don't cry, take it and eat it."
Ancient times are no better than later generations, this melon is a rarity.Only people of Xie Jingyuan's level can be allocated a share.
Seeing this, the fat drug boy stopped crying, sobbing, and hugged the melon into his arms.I struggled to get up from the ground, still sobbing: "I want to find Master...you are all bad...bad people..."
Opening the door a crack, the chubby body squeezed out with difficulty, and disappeared in an instant, not even taking care of the prescriptions scattered on the ground.
Seeing this, Chu Xinian picked it up and took a look, only to see that the acupoints to be needled were marked on it, which was fairly clear.He walked into the inner room with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "The general is really a child at heart."
Can't get along with a brat.
Xie Jingyuan closed his eyes: "Are you here to see my joke?"
Chu Xinian smiled: "Of course I'm worried about the general's condition. The doctor has left. Who can I ask to give you an injection?"
Xie Jingyuan casually tore off a piece of clothing and put it on again: "Don't tie it up."
But Chu Xinian pressed his shoulders, and with a little force, he took off the clothes that Xie Jingyuan had just put on.
Xie Jingyuan choked for breath: "What are you doing?"
Chu Xinian found the needle-rolled cloth, and slowly spread it out on his knees.His slender fingertips slowly massaged Xie Jingyuan's stiff muscles, spraying hot breath into the other's ears, and whispered: "General, relax, or you won't be able to penetrate."
Hearing this, Xie Jingyuan not only failed to relax, but became even more rigid.He clenched his fingertips silently, resisting his instinct to fight back: "You go out too."
He can't do this kind of thing that exposes his dead point to others.
Chu Xinian ignored, and slowly massaged Xie Jingyuan's stiff body until the other person relaxed and softened, then took a silver needle and slowly stabbed it into his shoulder.
Xie Jingyuan felt the tingling pain, and his eyelids twitched: "You also studied medicine?"
Chu Xinian had studied medicine for a few years, but he didn't study it after that, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said in a slow voice deliberately: "I haven't studied it, but luckily the doctor left a picture book, so I'll make a piercing according to it. "
Xie Jingyuan squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and directly pulled Chu Xinian in front of him with his backhand, and said with a sneer, "You are so brave, you dare to give me an injection without learning it all day?!"
If he was stabbed to death on the bed, it would be a joke if word spread that he Xie Jingyuan was.He didn't die on the battlefield, he didn't die in the hands of King Jin, but he died in Chu Xinian...
In the hands of this hypocrite!
Chu Xinian did not expect that he would strike suddenly, his body lost his balance, and the silk quilt slipped, and he accidentally pinned Xie Jingyuan under him.Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and quickly pulled the needle out of the opponent's body with his eyesight and hands.
"Well……"
Xie Jingyuan groaned under his pressure, and subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, but accidentally scratched Chu Xinian's shoulder, and the mask fell off with a clang.
Chu Xinian didn't react as half of his ferocious side face was exposed to the air.
Xie Jingyuan froze, his fingertips moved slightly, as if he wanted to raise his hand to cover it, but for some reason, he didn't move for a long time.
Chu Xinian twirled a needle with his fingertips, and looked down at him: "If the general moves around again, I can't be blamed for being stabbed to death."
Xie Jingyuan's Adam's apple moved, his voice suddenly became hoarse, and he said with a low smile: "I'm dead, you should get your wish."
His eyes are very special.The eyelids are slender and the tails of the eyes are raised, as if mocking all things in the world, whether they are living or dead.
Chu Xinian is unwilling to change anything in his book, but now that the story has jumped out of the pen and paper, it doesn't hurt to change it again.He moved the silver needle on his fingertips and said seriously: "I hope the general is alive."
Xie Jingyuan's chest rose and fell for a moment, but he didn't say anything: "..."
Chu Xinian repeated again: "I hope the general is alive."
If someone like Xie Jingyuan survived, he would probably become King Jin's most troublesome opponent.
Man has a strange habit.When seeing uneven scars, one would habitually want to touch them. As a former doctor, Chu Xinian's habit was even more obvious.
He stretched out his hand, slowly stroking the scar on Xie Jingyuan's face, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "How did you get hurt?"
Xie Jingyuan only felt that half of his face was numb. He wanted to turn his head, but his neck was so stiff that he couldn't control it, so he had to give up.He frowned and asked, "You want to know?"
Chu Xinian nodded, he really wanted to know.Xie Jingyuan has too many secrets in him.
Xie Jingyuan hooked his lips and chuckled lightly: "Aren't you very smart, guess for yourself."
Chu Xinian thought that no matter how smart a person is, he still needs to speculate on unknown facts based on known conditions. Xie Jingyuan didn't tell him anything, how could he guess.He sat up slowly, and stretched out his hand to Xie Jingyuan: "Okay, I'll try."
Xie Jingyuan stared at his slender hand without moving.
Chu Xinian smiled: "Get up and get the needle."
Only then did Xie Jingyuan grab his hand and use his strength to stand up.It's just that this time he was much more relaxed than before, and the acupuncture was not hindered.
While looking at the album, Chu Xinian looked for the acupoints, and he remembered something, and said, "General."
Xie Jingyuan was lying on the bed, when he heard this, he raised his face from the pillow and gave him a sideways look: "What are you doing?"
Chu Xinian said: "The house here has been incensed all the year round, and it has been contaminated by poison. I'm afraid it's not suitable to live in. Yuhen Pavilion has been vacant for a long time, why not move there."
Yuhen Pavilion doesn't use incense very much, there are bistem trees planted outside, just cut them down.
Xie Jingyuan heard the words with half-closed eyes, wondering what he was thinking, and asked with a half-smile, "Do you want to live in Yuhen Pavilion?"
But Chu Xinian said: "General, you can move by yourself. I have a sensitive identity. If I go, I'm afraid it will attract suspicion. Just find me a secluded place."
He deliberately brought up the matter of being wronged today.
Xie Jingyuan really couldn't hold back his face, he looked away, closed his eyes and said, "You move there with me."
Chu Xinian frowned slightly: "Is it not very good?"
Xie Jingyuan frowned: "If you are told to move, you can move!"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chu Xinian didn't say any more.He slowly withdrew the needle, smiled at Xie Jingyuan and said, "It's getting late, general, let's have a good rest."
After saying this, he got out of bed, returned to his own couch, blew out the lamps and candles, and the room suddenly fell into hazy darkness.
Xie Jingyuan slowly turned over, his back was densely packed, leaving a tingling pain remaining.He looked outside through the gauze, trying to see something, but found nothing.
There were ups and downs tonight, but finally it was calm.
However, in the early morning of the next day, an unexpected guest ushered in outside the general's mansion.Mei Fengchen, the chief envoy of the Lianjing Department, sent a post to visit, saying that someone found a female corpse in the suburbs of Beijing yesterday, which seemed to be related to Chu Xinian, and wanted to invite him to come out to see it.
Now the yamen servant was carrying the female corpse and stopped outside the door, attracting countless people to watch early in the morning, immediately surrounded the general's mansion, and there were endless discussions.
Mei Fengchen is the master who can't rub the sand in his eyes, and he is famous for not being afraid of the powerful.The year before last, he was promoted to the official history of the Lian Jing Division, and he was in charge of the life lawsuit in the capital. He acted vigorously and decisively, causing more than half of the dandies in the capital to fall. Seeing him walking with his tail between his legs, did he expect that he would kill his relatives righteously today?
That's right, it's just killing relatives.
Speaking of relatives, Mei Fengchen is still the second uncle of Chu Xinian's third aunt.
Carrying dead bodies to other people's houses is something only Mei Fengchen can do.When Xie Jingyuan heard the news, he sneered again and again, and ordered the archers to lie in ambush on the wall, while he walked to the gate to "greet" him.
Xie Jingyuan still looked as if he was dying of illness. He stared at Mei Fengchen sarcastically and ironically, coughed twice, and said inexplicably: "Master Mei sent the post early in the morning, it is really a rare visitor."
Mei Fengchen's face was serious: "I am also acting according to orders, General Xie, please forgive me. Someone found a female body in the suburbs of Beijing yesterday. It has been confirmed that it is Wenxianglou's top oiran, Jiuniang..."
Chu Xinian followed behind Xie Jingyuan. Hearing this, he frowned, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
Sure enough, Mei Fengchen took a look at Chu Xinian, paused, and then continued: "The bustard in Wenxianglou said that Jiuniang eloped with a wealthy son who escaped marriage a few days ago, and there is no news of it. "
Although he didn't name him, any fool could tell that he was talking about Chu Xinian.
Xie Jingyuan lowered his eyes when he heard the words, remembering the rumors of running away from marriage that had been raging a few days ago, he turned his head to look at Chu Xinian: "Didn't you say that the wedding day was robbed by gangsters?"
Chu Xinian nodded, unhurriedly: "It was indeed robbed by villains."
Xie Jingyuan chuckled lightly: "What about the villain?"
Chu Xinian paused when he heard the words, and subconsciously looked at the female corpse parked at the door, but it was covered by a white cloth, so he couldn't see anything, so he said slowly: "Maybe...she is it?"
"Maybe" and "probably", these three words are full of uncertainty.
The author has something to say: Chu Xinian (in deep thought): I haven't written this plot.
