Legend of the Knight

Chapter 270 Seeking Medicine
King Cheng suddenly raised the flag to challenge rebellion, just in response to the old saying, "Scholars who rebel will fail in ten years."

On March [-]th, King Cheng's chief think tank, Bai Jiuchi, known as Zhuge Reincarnation, died of a serious illness and passed away.Three days later, King Cheng read out the "Letter for Thieves" which was announced to the world, listing Chen Chongying's ten crimes, and calling on the people of insight to clean up the king's side, wipe out the eunuchs, and restore the world to a bright future.

Before Bai Jiuchi died, he used his last breath to tell King Cheng the three strategies in the future, but King Cheng chose the worst strategy. If he believed Bai Jiuchi's words, he would have to endure it.

"How can there be [-]% of things in this world. Sir, you can go at ease, the remaining [-]% will be done by your own soldiers."

After finishing speaking, King Cheng turned around and left regardless of Bai Jiuchi still struggling on the bed. After Bai Jiuchi hooted on the bed for a long time, he finally took his breath away.

In this matter, everyone said that Cheng Wang was extremely benevolent and righteous, because he was sad because he could not see the death of his subordinates, so he had to endure the grief and leave.

This is called: love seems thin in the depths, Tao is ruthless but has love.

Bai Jiuchi's last plan for King Cheng was: it's not too late, so King Cheng acted very quickly.

At this time, the Central Plains was already dry and dry, and everything was scorched, and it was only a little bit short of sparks.

King Cheng raised his army, and it was smoother than he imagined. He captured Hangzhou City in less than three days, and the first thing the officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang did was not to counterattack, but to jointly block the news.

With neither foreign aid nor internal support, the king of Cheng is invincible.

Every time he conquered a land, King Cheng recruited troops on the spot, so when he raised his troops, King Cheng had only a few thousand elite soldiers in his hands, and there were already tens of thousands of them in less than half a decade.

The emperor looked at the secret spy letter in his hand on the sickbed, and a wave of anger burned in his heart.

"Call Chen Chongying, call Chen Chongying over here." The emperor gasped and said to the eunuch beside him.

Chen Chongying, I don't care who you want to help now, when King Cheng enters the capital, you, me and him will all be destroyed.

Now that I am powerless to clean up the mess, you can figure it out for yourself.

For the first time, the emperor chose to resign himself to fate and put his fate in the hands of others.

……

After Huang Xiaoshi returned to Luoyang City from Xiaoyao Valley, he was going to take a good rest for a while, but he was exhausted during this time.

As a result, before Huang Xiaoshi could sit still, he heard a disciple report that there was a person who asked for medicine with a lot of money.

As soon as he heard that someone from outside the door wanted to ask for [Sheng Sheng Hao Hua Pill], Huang Xiaoshi didn't even think about it, he just asked the doorman to send him away.

Right now, I still want to use money to buy [Sheng Sheng Hao Hua Pill], I think too much.

Firstly, there is no, and secondly, it is not for sale.

The next day, Huang Xiaoshi heard another report from the doorman, saying that the person who asked for medicine came again yesterday, and Mr. Li from the government came with him.

Mr. Li is not a big official, but Shennong Baicaomen needs him to issue road rules every time they go to business.

Don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face, since you can find Mr. Li, then let's persuade him to leave.

In the small hall, Huang Xiaoshi saw Mr. Li and the person who asked for medicine.

As soon as Mr. Li entered the door, except for the first two words of greeting, after sitting down, he drank tea and ate snacks by himself.

Huang Xiaoshi was keenly aware of this abnormality in Mr. Li's behavior.

It stands to reason that when Mr. Li brings people in, he has to say a few words for him, even if it is a few polite words.

As a result, Mr. Li only drank tea after entering the room, which was too strange.

unless.

Unless it's not a personal friendship, but an official relationship, and it's the kind of person who doesn't have a good relationship and asks to come to the door.

Huang Xiaoshi took a look at the medicine seeker, and saw that although he was wearing silk and gold, he was full of "nobility" all over his body, but he didn't sit properly, he didn't have the bearing of an official at all, and he couldn't be a mud leg Master Baihu Gong.

This is also an official?

"Master Huang, I'm also surnamed Huang, and I'm named one and three. Speaking of which, they're all from the same family." Huang Sanyi opened his mouth, showing his yellow teeth.

Huang Xiaoshi interrupted Huang San's greetings as soon as he stretched out his hand, he is very busy now, if he didn't try to show off Master Li's face, he wouldn't bother to meet people at all.

Now that Master Li has this attitude, Huang Xiaoshi might as well be more direct.

"Mr. Huang, I'm a straight-talking person, please take care of me." Huang Xiaoshi said to Huang San: "I don't know how high your official residence is, where you do business, and tell us quickly if you have any background.

I'm still very busy, if you don't know what to say, we'll see off the guests. "

Seeing is worth seeing, Huang San's eyebrows twitched when he heard Huang Xiaoshi's words.

Up to now, Huang San has nothing to pretend, he gave up a bunch of rhetoric that he had thought up before, and said to Huang Xiaoshi with a bit of arrogance: "I have no official or job, but it is in the hands of the nobles in the capital. Some errand to do."

Beijing.

All the toads in the capital are of seventh rank, so what are you proud of?

Huang Xiaoshi asked impatiently: "How expensive you are, please explain clearly, we don't want to see you under the servant."

Huang Xiaoshi's attitude angered Huang San, and Huang San suppressed his anger and said, "Eunuch Bingbi, the imperial horse supervisor, and Xuan Li, the admiral of the West Factory."

West Factory?

Oh, it's no wonder Master Li's face is so ugly. In this matter, whether he really helps or not, this kind of style is just right.

After all, eunuchs belong to stinky tofu, which smells stinky and tastes good.

Therefore, if you want to join the eunuch party, you have to work quietly, where there is no uprightness, you don't even want to lose your face.

If you let the people of Luoyang know that you have taken refuge in the eunuch party, how can Mr. Li still mess around in Luoyang?
As for the East Factory or the West Factory, Chen Chongying or Xuanli Gong, it is the same to the common people.

Just to ask you, do you think these two are eunuchs?

As soon as Huang Xiaoshi heard it, the impatience on his face disappeared instantly, and he asked Huang San seriously: "Is it Duke Xuanli who is asking for medicine?"

Huang San also pushed his nose and face. When he saw Huang Xiaoshi's attitude softened, he immediately became tough. He didn't even hum, and just snorted directly from his nose.

That is to say, Duke Xuanli is asking the emperor for medicine.

The emperor's life is still hard, and he is not dead yet. It seems that the imperial doctor really has two brushes, and he was able to hang his life for so long.

Huang Xiaoshi knocked on the table with his fingers and said to Huang San, "It's a coincidence that [Shengsheng Creation Pill] is gone."

When Huang San heard this, he was about to lose his face when Huang Xiaoshi said to him: "This is really gone."

Huang Xiaoshi patiently explained to Huang San: "[Sheng Sheng Hao Hua Pill] was originally a life-robbing thing, and I used up the last pill.

Refining this elixir not only requires a lot of rare medicinal materials, but also needs to find the right time. If there is a slight mistake, the furnace will be destroyed and people will die.

When I came back from the Western Regions this time, I happened to find enough medicinal materials to refine [Sheng Sheng Hao Hua Pill], but on this day, I still need to find a good time to take part in the towering phenomena. "

Hearing Huang Xiaoshi's nonsense, Huang San was about to have a fit, but seeing Huang Xiaoshi's face darken, he said impatiently to Huang San: "Since you ask for medicine, and you don't believe in medicine, then what else are you asking for.

Get lost, Lao Tzu, go and call Mr. Xuanli over. "

With your virtue, you still want to be soft and hard?

Regardless of whether it is the East Factory or the West Factory, Huang Xiaoshi really doesn't know what their power structure looks like, but Huang Xiaoshi knows that the core circle of power in these two places must be composed of eunuchs.

Just because you guys still have a mustache, that means it's still a long way off.

You are not necessarily more expensive than a dog in Xichang.

What can you do if you scold you?How dare you bite me.

Huang Xiaoshi's attitude was inexplicably tough, Huang San was just a young man under Xuan Ligong's subordinates, and it was just a coincidence that he only met Xuanli Gong's side, how could he afford such a face.

In an instant, Huang San's expression changed again, and he said flatteringly to Huang Xiaoshi with a charming smile on his face: "Look at what Master Shi said, there is nothing unbelievable. Otherwise, I wouldn't bring 1000 taels Zheng Shishou hurried over from the capital."

When Huang San said this, he bit the 1000 taels hard, Huang Xiaoshi understood what he meant, we don't take this medicine for nothing.

It is a real receipt, which is a certificate of money exchange between the government.

Governments in this era don’t push trolleys carrying gold and silver back and forth every day. The exchange of money between governments at the same level and at all levels is based on evidence. At the end of the year, whoever wins and who loses needs to settle. How much, after it is clear, organize manpower to transport money and food to fill the gap.

Therefore, people in the government office can take advantage of their positions to put money into the government office in this place, and then take the money to other government offices to balance the accounts, avoiding the trouble of carrying gold and silver along the way.

After all, this world is not peaceful, even if you hire a bodyguard agency, you will sometimes be robbed by bodyguards.

Of course, the actual creditworthiness of government officials in different places and different ranks varies greatly. In some poor places, the official receipts may be just a piece of waste paper.

But no matter how it is calculated, the real income of the capital should be universal in the whole of the Central Plains, which is equivalent to a bank note that can be exchanged at will in the Central Plains.

When he heard that he was really rich, Huang Xiaoshi's face softened a lot.

Huang Xiaoshi knocked on the table and said to Huang San: "The medicine is really gone, it's not about money.

Of course, money must be paid.

In this way, Mr. Huang, if you are impatient, you might as well stay with me.Tonight, I will push the time of day to see when the furnace can be used for alchemy, and I will give you an accurate answer tomorrow morning. "

When Huang San heard this, he couldn't stop thanking him, and then the three of them had tea for a while, and Huang Xiaoshi went back to the small courtyard.

……

To save, or not to save, that is the question.

Although Huang San didn't say much, Huang Xiaoshi already understood that it was time for the emperor to go to the doctor in a hurry.

After a person suddenly suffers from a serious illness, according to the development of the disease, he usually goes through these stages: denial, anger, compromise, frustration, and acceptance.

The denial phase is: I'm not sick, I'm fine, I'll be better soon.

Anger: What a quack doctor, this kind of ailment can't be cured!

Compromise: Use whatever tricks you have, as long as it can cure my illness...

Frustrated: Don't lie to me, my illness will never get better.

Accept: Bring the pen and ink, I want to explain the funeral.

Since the medicine can be found on the head of a quack like himself, it means that the emperor's illness has entered the third stage.

Of course, what Huang Xiaoshi didn't know was that Huang San would go to Luoyang as soon as the Chinese New Year was over, but he didn't expect that Huang Xiaoshi would go to the Western Regions.

From the first month to the third month, the emperor has entered the fourth stage, and is not far from the fifth stage.

Chen Chongying told Huang Xiaoshi something about the emperor, so Huang Xiaoshi probably knew what the emperor was doing now.

According to the original plot, the emperor was divided into those who used the poisonous Gu and those who did not. This was triggered randomly, so this time the emperor used the poisonous Gu.

This kind of poisonous Gu was originally used to control people's mental state. Gu insects are extremely long-lived, and it is not a problem to live for three to forty years.

But like the emperor, who used the hormones secreted by Gu insects as a stimulant, and squeezed out both the Gu insects and himself in just a few years. I am afraid that even the person who invented the poisonous Gu would not have thought of such a situation. This is an advanced way of playing, that is, only the group of later generations who licked the toad crazily and licked the toad to the point of extinction can compete.

After traveling for so long, the only "person" Huang Xiaoshi fears is the emperor.

Because Huang Xiaoshi didn't have the confidence to beat the emperor at all, he didn't have half a point. To deal with the emperor, Huang Xiaoshi's best strategy was to drag him to death.

After King Cheng raised his flag to rebel, the imperial court would send troops to suppress the rebellion. This battle determined the success or failure of King Cheng's rebellion.

The imperial army was victorious, and King Cheng's power collapsed and disappeared.

King Cheng wins big, and the court and King Cheng will confront each other.

But King Cheng really won the world after the death of the emperor.

Either the emperor played himself to death with poisonous Gu, or Dongfang Weiming took refuge in Queen Cheng, was inspired by King Cheng, and sacrificed himself to the palace to assassinate the emperor.

That's why Huang Xiaoshi concluded a long time ago: "The one who decides the victory or defeat of the world is Dongfang Weiming, whoever he helps will win", that's what he meant.

If the first two endings are excluded, if the emperor is not dead, after ten years of confrontation between you and me, even if the world is destroyed, even if a large area of ​​​​the country is lost in order to shrink the army, the emperor will die in the end King Cheng.

In other words, as long as the emperor is alive, King Cheng cannot win.

Even King Cheng can't play the emperor, Huang Xiaoshi is very self-aware, even if he hides behind Chen Chongying, he can hide for a while.

Therefore, Huang Xiaoshi quickly formulated a strategy, first delaying the death of the emperor, helping Yanyu ascend the throne, and then killing King Cheng.

Of course, Huang Xiaoshi couldn't just say no to the person sent by Duke Xuanli.

It wasn't that Huang Xiaoshi was afraid that Mr. Xuan Li would come to trouble him, but that he would accidentally discover his identity when Mr. Xuan Li came to trouble him, which would be troublesome.

I still have to work hard to get rid of Xuanli Gong.

The more the emperor was about to die, the more he had to pay attention to his safety. Fortunately, now that Jiang Tianxiong had surrendered to him, otherwise Huang Xiaoshi would have to be wary of the assassination from King Cheng.

If you want to drag the emperor to death, Ming's refusal will definitely not work, but Huang Xiaoshi has many ways.

……

The next day, Huang San saw Huang Xiaoshi who hadn't slept all night in the living room.

"Master Huang, last night I exhausted all my strength to comprehend the phenomena of heaven and earth, and this year I only have two chances to refine [Sheng Sheng Hao Hua Pill].

One is Xiaoji after six months.

The second is after seven days, it is the little fierce. "

"Ah?" When Huang San heard this, he anxiously asked Huang Xiaoshi: "If you do the math, don't you have any other time?"

Huang Xiaoshi slowly shook his head, he was a little sluggish after having practiced his internal skills all night, and he looked as if his energy had been drained.

"Huang Sanye, refining [Sheng Sheng Hao Hua Pill] is an extraordinary good fortune, acting against the sky, how can it be done as you want like cooking.

I have collected materials for nearly ten years, and this is enough for a furnace. When to refine it, you can decide. "

When Huang San heard this, he spun around anxiously.

Huang San didn't want to believe what Huang Xiaoshi said, but he dared not disbelieve it.

During the time in Luoyang, Huang San asked many things about Huang Xiaoshi, and the more he heard, the more evil he became.

Some people said that they saw Huang Xiaoshi walking on the water of the Great Lake with their own eyes, while others swore that they saw Huang Xiaoshi flying in the sky.

Shaolin Temple was on fire, and Huang Xiaoshi summoned a divine light, which immediately extinguished the fire in a hall.

Immortal Elder Yunhua of Wudang Mountain also became an immortal after being instructed by Huang Xiaoshi.

Not to mention his fortune-telling by fortune-telling, which is absolutely accurate.

After the woman was happy, Huang Xiaoshi looked through his stomach, whether it was male or female, single or double, he made it clear, and he didn't miss one.

In the mouths of the common people, Huang Xiaoshi is not a human being at all, at least he is a yellow half-immortal, and some people say that Huang Xiaoshi has now cultivated into an "earth immortal".

Huang Banxian said that there are only two days to choose, so there are really only two days to choose.

After thinking about it, Huang San gritted his teeth and said, "Master Shi, please make alchemy as soon as possible."

After hearing Huang San's request, Huang Xiaoshi nodded.

This is what you chose. The alchemy furnace exploded due to the lightning strike, so it is none of my business.

Why did Huang Xiaoshi know that the alchemy furnace would explode.

It goes without saying.

Huang Banxian wants it to explode at midnight, so it won't wait until dawn.
