Chapter 39
King Kang Zhu Guangrong was the fifth King of Kang in the fiefdom of Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian.

He liked to feast, sing, dance, and have fun. Although the people in the fiefdom could not be said to love him, they did not dislike him either.

After all, a vassal king who doesn't kill at will and is willing to give him food these days is already a good vassal.

The virtues of Tianzheng Emperor Zhu Guangzhao cannot be too high for others.

Today, with the dragon boat race being such a big event, the good-hearted King Kang naturally came.

Early in the morning, we circled the Guanhai Pavilion by the Jinjiang River, which was also the best viewing location in previous years.

The guards of the palace were on tight guard, leaving King Kang and his second son Zhu Xianzhuo alone in the pavilion to watch the river view and enjoy the delicious food.

Zhu Xianzhuo is only nine years old this year. He has red lips and white teeth. He is very lovable, but he is sickly and does not look very energetic.

Zhu Guangrong liked his son very much and fed him dried meat. Zhu Xianzhuo was also very sensible and was willing to open his mouth even though he had a poor appetite.

The father feels more and more distressed.

"It's spring."

Zhu Guangrong is wearing a lord's python robe. He is in his forties. He is a little fat and has a big belly, but he has a majestic aura and has the bearing of a lord: "The medical skills of this 'White Prime Minister' are really as good as those rumored." Is it weird? The ghost doctor has an unruly temperament, and he made a decision about the prince’s leg disease without even looking at it. Could this person be like his master? "

Du Zhengchun, the general manager of the palace and a confidant of King Kang.

He was the one who came forward on behalf of Prince Kang's Palace to contact the Tang Clan to purchase firearms and heavy artillery.

The people in Prince Kang's Mansion were able to find the jade flat peach from the secret realm of Kunlun Mountain, and it was also his contribution, but it was a pity that it was intercepted.

But it doesn’t matter. The Tang Sect has promised to pay compensation and will give an explanation to King Kang. With their background, they will not default on the debt. The gunpowder and natural materials and treasures will be delivered sooner or later. King Kang will not suffer any loss. Du Zhengchun will naturally suffer the same as before. Appreciate.

Before Du Zhengchun entered the palace, he was already the number one master in Fujian. He was in the first level of Tongyou. He had mastered the "Five Tigers Cutting Door Sword Technique" to the extreme. His moves were ruthless and brutal. Because of his fierceness, he moved like thunder. , Du Zhengchun, known as "Thunder Tiger" in the world.

"will not."

Du Zhengchun, wearing a sword on his waist, neither humble nor arrogant, bowed and said: "The seventh son of the Tang clan can still recover his broken arm, and he can also cure the weird poisonous power of "Yinfeng Dusand Palm". Internal injuries can also be healed. His medical skills must have been passed down by ghost doctors and cannot be faked.

The prince may not believe the rumors in the world, but Tang Tianrong and Liu Xiong are not people who only agree with empty words.As for his temperament... the young leader of the Beggar Clan has a close relationship with him, and the seventh son of the Tang Sect is full of praise for him. I think he is much gentler than his master..."

"That's good."

Zhu Guangrong threw a piece of preserved fruit into his mouth and said calmly: "People who are capable will inevitably be arrogant, but it is best not to be arrogant like me! I don't have a good impression of these Jianghu people. There was a thief some time ago." You stole my [White Jade Chilong Pendant]! Humph, Xia used force to break the ban, Han Feizi is absolutely right... Zhengchun, I'm not talking about you, don't take it to heart."

Du Zhengchun couldn't laugh or cry: "..."

He knew his prince's temperament, and didn't care. Prince Kang was a good person, and those who gave him face were easy to talk to, whether they were from the world or not. Those who didn't give him face and looked down on him were not good people, and it had nothing to do with his background.

"My lord..."

Du Zhengchun hesitated: "Why don't you take this opportunity and let him have a look at the prince? After all, the ghost doctor didn't even look at him..."

Zhu Guangrong paused, hesitated, thought for a moment, then turned to the palace guard commander Zhou Tingrui: "Where is the prince?"

"Uh……"

Zhou Tingrui clasped his hands into fists, lowered his head, blushed, and hesitated.

Zhu Guangrong became angry when he saw it: "Where did he go to act wild again? Tell me!"

"My lord, calm down!"

Zhou Tingrui quickly knelt down on one knee and whispered: "Today the new oiran Liu Miaomiao of Jinfeng Tower will come to watch the dragon boat race. After the prince learned about it, he went to the flower boat boat early in the morning...that, drinking and having fun..."

boom!
Zhu Guangrong kicked the table over and said angrily: "Beast, this beast! If you don't change despite repeated admonitions, mud can't hold up the wall!"

"My lord, calm down!"

The people around him all knelt down in fear.

The second son Zhu Xianzhuo held Zhu Guangrong's robe with his small hands and comforted him silently.

Du Zhengchun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in front of everyone, I still need to give the prince some face... It's all my fault for saying the wrong thing, and I am willing to accept the punishment!"

If the son doesn't teach, it's the father's fault. If word spreads about this, who will be scolded?

Maybe there will also be a saying: like father, like son.

Zhu Guangrong felt the scorching gazes from the people and officials around him. Considering that his family scandal should not be made public, he suppressed his anger and sat down again.

The others hurriedly cleaned up, mourning for the prince in their hearts. A whipping would be indispensable when he returned.

But then again, this prince is really a strange flower!
Everyone in Quanzhou knows that Zhu Xianyao, the crown prince of King Kang, was born with a foot disease and a deformity in his right calf, which cannot be cured.

Perhaps because of his bad legs and feet, he was different from ordinary people, and because he was doted on by the princess, he developed a surly temperament. He often beat and scolded his servants, was greedy for pleasure, was uneducated, and had no skills. Three months ago, he even did something This huge mistake made Zhu Guangrong furious. He killed all of his followers with a stick and punished him to live in seclusion and meditate on his mistakes!

As a result, just after he was released, he went to find a woman again... Zhu Guangrong was so angry that he felt dizzy and covered his heart, feeling that he was about to suffer from a heart attack.

"Father, don't get so angry and eat some fruit."

Zhu Xianzhuo held the plate and handed over a bunch of grapes. His face was pale, his hands and feet were weak, and the hand holding the plate was trembling.

Zhu Guangrong sighed when he saw him, quickly took the plate, hugged him in his arms, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "What a great Zhuo'er, it's a pity that you were born late..."

Others didn't dare to breathe when they heard it. These words revealed too much!
Zhu Guangrong immediately realized that he had made a mistake and glanced around with majestic eyes: "Watch your mouth and get away!"

The guards wanted to stay far away and immediately spread out to a radius of three feet.

Du Zhengchun and Zhou Tingrui were hesitating whether they should stay away as well, when a guard announced from a distance: "Your Majesty, Xiao Jingxing from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau wants to see you."

Good to come!
Du Zhengchun breathed a sigh of relief. He came at the right time, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, it is important to treat the second prince. Let him come in first."

"Ah."

Zhu Guangrong sat upright, regained his vassal-like demeanor, and said with one hand: "Please."

The guards let him go, and Xiao Jingxing strode in. He cupped his hands and said, "Xiao Jingxing, a common man, pays homage to the prince."

Everyone in Guanhai Pavilion brightened up when they saw his true appearance.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that beautiful women are delicious, and the same goes for handsome men. Just looking at them makes people feel happy.

Zhu Guangrong wanted to give him a slap in the face, but because of the anger he suffered from the ghost doctor, he forgot about it when he saw Xiao Jingxing's appearance. He increased his voice and said, "Sure enough, he is a talented person and his reputation is well-deserved. Mr. Xiao, Please come into the pavilion, I have a few words to ask."

"Yes."

Xiao Jingxing walked into the pavilion.

King Kang did not ask any more questions, but pushed his youngest son out and whispered: "This is my youngest son Xianzhuo. I don't know what happened these days. He has lost his appetite and his body is getting weaker. I have been to many doctors but no one knows." So, taking this opportunity, I would like to ask the young master for help to find out what is going on with him."

At this moment, King Kang no longer had that majestic bearing and was just an ordinary father who was worried about his children.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Majesty, to cooperate in this play. Since I've asked you to do it, I'll do it for you."

Xiao Jingxing's voice was very low. After speaking, he looked at Zhu Xianzhuo. He was just a child at the age of nine. Although Zhu Xianzhuo had a noble status, he had never seen such a good-looking person, especially Xiao Jingxing who had an aura of otherworldliness. It was something that no one in the palace had, so I was a little curious for a moment.

Zhu Guangrong said: "Master Xiao, please sit down. Zhuo'er, stretch out your hand."

Zhu Xianzhuo carefully stretched out his hand and put it on the table.

Xiao Jingxing felt his pulse with three fingers, closed his eyes and meditated. As time went by, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Zhu Guangrong, Du Zhengchun, Zhou Tingrui and others all felt anxious. Is this loss of appetite a big deal?Why so solemn?
After a long time, Xiao Jingxing let go of his hand.

Zhu Guangrong said hurriedly: "Master Xiao, how is my son?"

Xiao Jingxing was a little hesitant.

Zhu Guangrong waved his hand: "Zhengchun stays, you all stay away!"

Others including Zhou Tingrui dispersed.

Xiao Jingxing took out a pen and paper and wrote three words: [Liao Shen Yin].

Du Zhengchun was shocked when he saw it, and his face turned pale for a moment: "Brother Xiao, are you sure? This is not a joke!"

Xiao Jingxing nodded solemnly: "I never joke when it comes to my illness... I'm also surprised how the second prince could be poisoned..."

Zhu Guangrong didn't know what these three words meant. He was so anxious that he blushed and shouted: "Zhengchun! What's going on? What do these three words mean? What kind of strange poison? Are you poisoned by Xianzhuo? Then Untie it quickly!"

Du Zhengchun leaned into King Kang's ear: "[Leading God] is a secret poison of the Japanese Iga sect. It is said to be made from seven kinds of highly toxic spiritual plants on the sacred mountain of Japan mixed with the essence of blood cherry blossoms. It is not toxic at all." It is not violent, but once poisoned, the toxin will seep into the bone marrow and blood vessels, constantly eroding vitality until death...

This poison was originally made by the Iga sect to quietly assassinate high-ranking officials. It only shows that the body is weak and cannot eat. However, after three months, the hidden toxin breaks out and will instantly drain away the vitality!The toxins in the body will also evaporate when you die. At that time, no matter how good your medical skills are, you will not be able to find any traces of poisoning!

My subordinates had dealt with pirates a lot before, and they had heard of this secret medicine. The former governor of Shandong, the famous anti-Japanese general Mr. Jiang, died inexplicably. At that time, many people said it was due to overwork, but there were also speculations that he died from [Lian Shen Ying]. , and the last shogunate of Japan died suddenly and violently, and there was also the shadow of this medicine behind it..."

"All right!"

Zhu Guangrong understood the implication and stopped his words abruptly, his face so gloomy that it could drip with water.

First, this medicine is precious. Second, there is no need for the Iga sect to target Zhu Xianzhuo. Third, the purpose of the poisoner was to make Zhu Xianzhuo die early, with no abnormality in his body when he died, and no evidence of his death!
"Mr. Xiao, since this medicine is so secret and only rumored, can you really diagnose it? Are you overthinking it?"

It's not that Zhu Guangrong doesn't trust Xiao Jingxing, he just still holds on to a glimmer of hope.

"Mr. Du just missed one person."

Xiao Jingxing was not angry and said directly: "Last October, the Governor of Zhejiang Province, Mr. Hu, suddenly disappeared. All military and government affairs in Zhejiang and South Zhili were fully delegated to Zhejiang Governor Zheng Yunsheng. It was not until two months later that Mr. Hu came back to take over again. , executed 12 generals in the mansion that day. The prince must know about this..."
