Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 162 Common Name

When Lu Wei walked out of the pharmacy, he saw that Duanmu Rong had finished sweeping the floor and was grinding medicinal materials.

The little girl has been busy all afternoon, and she is really not idle. She deserves praise for her diligence.

But those who play with themselves must be punished!
"Ah, Brother Lu, I forgot to tell you"

Duan Murong noticed the master of the hall coming out of the door of the cooking pharmacy. She put down her work, patted her palms on her long skirt, and took the initiative to walk up to Lu Wei:
"Today's Nourishing Soup, I added Ophiopogon japonicus, Gouliancao, and Abyssinosa. According to Master's notes in ancient books, it is said that this can fully release the efficacy of the Nourishing Soup, making the Nourishing Soup achieve the best effect."

"The only small drawback is that this version of the nourishing soup needs to be cooked for six more hours on the original basis."

Then, the little girl said slowly:
"Brother Lu has been waiting for so long. Let's finish the soup tomorrow morning before leaving."

"That's fine." Lu Wei Gujing Bubo stared at the slender willow eyebrows under the blue and white scarf. After the latter unconsciously looked away, he finally said: "I'm going back to the room to rest."

"Miss Duanmu, remember to inform me in advance next time something like this happens."

Passing by little Duanmu, the voice that refused to be rejected made Duanmu Rong nod her head quickly and subconsciously.

Although Xiao Duanmu had good intentions, he was undoubtedly tricked by her pharmacological knowledge this time.

Nian Duan is still there, so for the time being, he can only use the soul-driving technique to warn the little girl that after subduing the two daughters of the doctor, the ones who will be fooled by this pharmacological knowledge will be his enemies!
The master of the hall could tell that Duan Murong had a slight affection for him, which was not difficult to understand: the little girl had been taken by Nian Duan since she was a child, and she was now at the age when her love for her first started.

Most of the people she comes into contact with are patients. Among the men of his generation in the world, Hall Master Lu is very confident that he is undoubtedly one of the best.

Coupled with the various excellent qualities disguised along the way, it will naturally give the little girl a different feeling.

As long as he maintains such a simple goodwill, Lu Wei thinks that it is not difficult for him to get Duan Murong, and Nian Duan also has the back-up plan of the Energy Pill, so the two daughters of the medical family are already under his control.

It was precisely because of this that he made the plan to temporarily leave the medical village for a few months and go to the border of Chu State to do other important things.

After all, the hall master also knows Yan Dan's intentions towards the doctor.If he was not absolutely sure, he would definitely stay in the medical village for a few more days to build up his favor and avoid being robbed by someone from the Mo family.

The short afternoon passed quickly. When the dusk sun shone on the lake, Lu Wei caught a few small fish in the lake and gave them to Duanmu Rong to cook.

His calm expression made little Duanmu feel at ease. Dinner, like lunch, was a combination of ingredients and medicinal herbs.

The taste is quite satisfactory. The master of the hall has never been strict about food, as long as it can be eaten.

After the meal, the sky gradually darkened. All the daily necessities in the medical village had been kept in reserve. Now there were not many that could be used, but they were enough to last for a while.

Duan Murong planned to go outside to buy more after tidying up the medical village these days, but this had nothing to do with Lu Wei. He had already pushed the wooden boat into the water again before it was fully dark the next day.

Little Duanmu came a few steps late holding a torch. She needed to get on the boat together, see the hall master off, and then row the boat back alone.

"Here, Brother Lu."

Putting the torch on the side of the boat, the little girl handed a purple medicinal gourd to Lu Wei. Inside was the nourishing soup that had been boiled for nine hours since yesterday.

The skin of the gourd is still a little warm, and the medicinal soup inside needs to cool down for a while.

After taking the gourd and tying it to his left waist, Lu Wei took Duan Murong and pedaled together, rowing the pole along the waterline to the center of the lake.

"Dr. Nianduan didn't talk much after he returned to the village, but what's wrong with his body?"

The cool lake breeze is not unpleasant and feels comfortable on your face.Lu Wei focused on keeping the ship going straight, and suddenly asked in the quiet atmosphere.

"No, Master is in much better spirits here than in Taihang Mountain."

Duan Murong sat on the bow of the boat and said in a low voice: "It's just that due to the fatigue of the boat and the carriage, Master's body is very slow to recover from fatigue."

"So it is."

Hall Master Lu looked at the lake water swaying with the oars, vaguely combined it with his own swordsmanship, and continued to find random topics:

"Isn't this the first time Miss Duanmu has come to Jinghu Medical Village? Yesterday, the girl seemed very familiar with the environment inside the medical village."

"Well, Master took me to live here for two months after he resigned as the head of the medical family, and then went out to study."

The two of them chatted all the way on the boat, and the topics were all over the place, and they didn't feel that the trip was boring.It's just that Lu Wei was asking questions and Duan Murong was answering throughout the whole process.

From Xiao Duanmu's careless chat, Hall Master Lu either directly learned or inferred a lot of medical secrets.
After daybreak, we finally saw the pier where we set out yesterday.

There was no need to wait for the boat to completely pull over. After stuffing the oar into Duan Murong's arms and saying 'goodbye', the master of the hall jumped up to the lake shore and left Jinghu directly without looking back.

Watching the handsome figure disappear, Xiao Duanmu held the oar tightly, raised his hand to tuck a strand of messy hair behind his ear, pursed his lips, and came to the stern of the boat to turn the bow.

She was alone on the way back.

Only twenty miles away from Jinghu Lake, Lu Wei took the horse from the disciple he had arranged to stay nearby and galloped towards Shouchun.

It had not been long since he left Chu State. In addition to confirming that he had obtained the second daughter of the medical family during this escort trip north, another important gain was that he met Chen Sheng on the way.

Of course, Lu Wei won the sword duel, but compared to the increase in the winning streak from 76 games to 77 games, the more precious gain was that he learned an interesting thing from Chen Sheng.

'In addition to the well-known forces in the world, the hidden power of the unknown forces is not weak at all.'

There was a bit of seriousness in the eyes of the hall master:
According to what Chen Sheng said after his defeat, someone took the initiative to leak information about Lu Wei's whereabouts to him.

The man was wearing a cloak and a hat, with his head hidden and his face invisible, but his strength was not bad, at least according to Chen Sheng's perception.

He took the initiative to inform Chen Sheng that Lu Wei had gone north from Chu State, and accurately described Lu Wei's route map and the approximate time of arrival at various key points, so that Chen Sheng could accurately block Lu Wei's path.

When he first learned of the news, the hall master was extremely shocked: only he knew the news and itinerary of his northbound trip, and he had never revealed it at all!
This person can actually predict his own actions!The more serious something happens, the more you need to calm down and analyze it carefully.

After Lu Wei came back to his senses, his thoughts changed a little, and he roughly guessed how to do this.

He personally spent most of his time with Xiang Bo in Shouchun, and occasionally went out to Yunmeng Market at night to look for Chu Nan Gong, but there should be no problem with these two people.

Even if there is a problem, Xiang Bo and Chu Nan Gong will not let Chen Sheng from the Wei Kingdom come to stop them.

Well, he actually made one and only one public appearance to Jianghu in Shouchun City: after defeating Ji Bu, he asked Ji Bu to spread the news of his victory.

Ji Bu is unlikely to have any problems, but the mysterious person who took the initiative to contact Chen Sheng must have learned about Lu Wei's stay in Shouchun from Ji Bu, and then made the next plan.

Hall Master Lu set out northward after receiving a letter from Daliang. His destination was to go to Daliang to learn more about the situation in the Taihang Mountains.

Therefore, this person also knew that Lu Wei had established a branch layout in Daliang City.

Based on this information combined with Lu Wei's character inference, a talented and intelligent person can accurately report the target to Chen Sheng.

To sum up: this mysterious man knew Lu Wei's layout in Daliang, and knew him very well. He needed to know Lu Wei's exact location from Ji Bu's mouth, and he also had certain knowledge of Chen Sheng.
Putting all these conditions together, the first name that comes to mind is undoubtedly Luo Sheng.

Throwing the blame to Luo Wang shows respect for Luo Wang, a huge killer organization.

But soon, Lu Wei immediately crossed out this option: If it was a trap, if they really wanted to attack them, they would definitely choose a more rigorous ambush instead of letting Chen Sheng block the road.

Because Chen Sheng blocked the road, not only was it not a bad thing for him, but it was more like a help.

Since that mysterious man can accurately deduce his own schedule based on various information, it is impossible that he cannot deduce this.

Thinking about it this way, the mysterious man probably chose to do this not only not to harm himself, but to show his intention to make friends with him~

If this is the case, Lu Wei boldly guesses: Chen Sheng blocking the road is just a test!

As long as I can understand this test, I will definitely be able to imagine that this mysterious man will wait peacefully in Shouchun City for the Hall Master to find him!

------

At the Zhijiao Inn, a hundred miles away from Shouchun City, the master of the hall encountered another challenge from a swordsman from the Jianghu.

The visitor did not announce his name, but only held a gorgeous-looking sword. When Lu Wei passed by the inn on horseback, he stood up and stabbed him.

It was really more like an assassination than a challenge.

However, this swordsman's strength was really poor. Hall Master Lu who was sitting on the horse first used his sword to kill him, and then cut off the opponent's right hand that was holding the sword.

The swordsman screamed, endured the pain, picked up his right hand with his left hand, opened his fingers and grasped the sword again, and then, in front of Lu Wei and the surprised people watching the show in the inn, he cut his throat and committed suicide with an indignant expression.
"."

Somewhat inexplicable.

Hall Master Lu used his inner strength to suck the sword from the hand of the assassin who committed suicide into his palm, raised it and looked at it, and the famous sword manual he had read before once again came into play:
"'There is a brilliant light above, and a loyal soul is concealed below', which is an engraving."

The one-horned deer carved on the hilt of the gorgeous sword tells the answer directly: the single-deer sword.

Another name for it is genuolao.

The carving is the sword given to Wu Zixu by Fu Chai, the king of Wu in the past.After the Yue Kingdom destroyed Wu, it was obtained by Goujian. Goujian gave it to Wen Zhong who had made great contributions in the process of destroying Wu and ordered him to commit suicide.
This sword can be said to be even more ominous than Hao Cao's sword. It is a sword that means "the king wants his ministers to die" and "the rabbit dies and the dog cooks".

He dismounted and took off the scabbard from the waist of the swordsman's corpse. Lu Wei accepted the famous sword without ceremony.

Maybe it will be useful in the future~
After leaving the horse to the inn waiter to take care of, the master walked into the inn and sat down in front of a man in gray robe and bamboo hat.

The other drinkers looked back and didn't pay much attention to what just happened.

It seems that he was just killed because he failed in his pursuit of revenge, which is perfectly normal.

"Your Excellency has set tests on me twice, so you should have already thought of an explanation!"

Putting his sword on the table, Lu Wei stared at the person in front of him with a bad look on his face.

When he just killed the unknown assassin, he took a glance at the reactions of everyone in the inn and remembered them in his heart.

This man in gray robe and hat is very suspicious!

Combined with the appearance of the person who informed him of the news described by Chen Sheng before, Hall Master Lu confirmed that this person was the mysterious person!

That is, the person who is waiting for you.

"It's not a test, it's a help."

The man in the bamboo hat has a young voice and a steady tone:

"These two helpings are gifts to Hall Master Lu."

After that, he took off his bamboo hat and put it at his feet, revealing a round and unfamiliar face: thick eyebrows and bead-like eyes.

"Taoist clan, Xiao He."

"Meet Hall Master Lu Wei!"

When a name that was very common at the moment was announced, the hall master's heart suddenly became as bright as a spring flower, and his patience suddenly relaxed to infinity.
"It turns out to be Brother Xiao He from the Renzong~"
