Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 7 Meet Bao Xiruo and enter Prince Zhao’s Mansion

Next, Qiu Chuji told Lu Chen a few more medicinal materials and pharmaceutical techniques. Lu Chen was very successful in his method, and he nodded repeatedly.

Then Hou Qiu Chuji stood up with his legs crossed and his heart turned upward. After a while, his breathing and pulse stopped, and his body temperature also dropped.

"...However, there are still flaws." Lu Chen touched Qiu Chuji's skin temperature, "This Turtle Breathing Technique should have deliberately set a normal 'dead body temperature', but it is still above zero. But in this cold winter in the north, In the twelfth lunar month, if there are really dead bodies, it should be a few minutes colder... This has revealed a flaw, but it also proves that what Master said is correct, it should be fine, I can rest assured."

He spent a lot of time digging a hole, buried Qiu Chuji's "corpse" in it, covered it up with the head of the Buddha and a pile of weeds, and then left.

Early the next morning, Lu Chen walked into the city against the wind and snow. He only found a medicinal shop and asked how many flavors he wanted.

The answer was as expected.

"Master, this is a coincidence. All these medicinal materials were sold out just last night."

When Lu Chen heard this answer, he turned around and left without asking other pharmacies. Asking would be in vain, and the traces might be discovered by someone who was interested.

The worst has happened.

However, Lu Chen's expression remained unchanged and he was unhurried. He had thought clearly last night about what he should do if he encountered this situation.

Can a little beggar who has only practiced martial arts for a month steal medicinal materials from the palace of Prince Zhao, who is full of masters?

Can?

Can?

Can!

When he walked out of the medicine store, he was faced with a snowy sky.

Lu Chen stood still and let out a long breath. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of scattered snowflakes in the air. He squeezed them and opened his palms. Bits and pieces of snow water fell from the sky one by one. It flowed from the cracks in the palm of my hand.

Then laughed.

——What are you afraid of?

——It’s just some snow water.

Then he stepped forward.

……

Prince Zhao's Mansion is the largest, most luxurious and most gorgeous mansion in the center of Zhao's city. People come and go in and out of it, all of whom are wealthy, powerful and rich.

Lu Chen hid outside Prince Zhao's Mansion for a long time, and finally waited until a sedan with gold and red embroidery on its roof came out for inspection, surrounded by four strong men and a few maids. He knew that it was Bao Xiruo's sedan. Although it was a style unimaginable for ordinary people, it was considered very low-key considering her status.

Lu Chen now changed his attire, wearing a bamboo hat and a thick cotton coat, and poured some wine on himself.

At this moment, he walked out of the crowd and met the sedan chair. Halfway there, a few strong men looked over with great vigilance, and Lu Chen let out an ouch.

The strong men were responsible for their duties and were extremely sensitive. They stopped at once and protected the sedan in the center. A confused voice came from inside, and a bare hand lifted the embroidered curtain, revealing half of his face, "What's wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen stood unsteadily and fell down in a very funny way, falling into the snow. Others couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.

A strong man smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Lu Chen's body and said disdainfully, "Princess, you seem to be a drunken lunatic."

When Lu Chen heard this, he said angrily, "W-what... you dare to say that I'm drunk... I-I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk... you're talking nonsense!" He struggled to get up and kicked the strong man randomly. foot.

He moved very slowly and said he was not drunk. The strong man had some martial arts skills and easily dodged away. He laughed loudly and grabbed him, about to give the drunkard a good beating.

The laughter stopped, and he was so surprised that when he looked at it again, he was frightened out of his wits.

It turned out that Lu Chen's kick was in the air, he stepped on the snow again, and immediately slipped again. This time I tried my best to hold on, but I still stumbled, just dodged the catch, and muddle-headedly avoided the strong man's position, unable to balance after all. There was an inevitable collision, and it hit the front of the sedan, with one hand thrust into the sedan.

Bao Xiruo, who was inside, was already timid when he saw a drunk man bumping into him. He let out a cry, covered up the embroidered curtains, and hid.

The scene was settled, and Lu Chen seemed to wake up a little. He hurriedly got up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He turned around and ran away.

He reacted too quickly, and several strong men yelled and wanted to chase after him.

"You man, you don't have eyes. Could you be trying to kill us?"

"You will die after drinking some horse urine! Do you know who you bumped into!"

"Damn you, I'll chop your head off!"

"Princess, are you not shocked?"

Bao Xiruo's voice came from inside the sedan, "Don't be impatient, everyone, I'm just a drunkard. Nothing happened to me, so don't fight. However, I suddenly don't want to go to enjoy the plum blossoms. Today I will go to the nearby mountains to watch the snow scene." Okay, everyone, keep going."

"Yes."

Everyone stopped now and changed directions. It seems that this incident is just an episode in Bao Xiruo's leisurely life as a princess. Several guards are very lucky that Bao Xiruo has a good temper, but he is not like the prince's followers, who have to be beaten and scolded easily. The same thing happened to them. Everyone must be punished.

Of course, they were also wondering why the princess's voice seemed to have changed a little, becoming hoarse and low. Could it be that she had caught a cold?
In the sedan, Bao Xiruo looked down at a piece of paper in his hand, his eyes were watery and filled with tears, and his whole body was shaking. He covered his mouth and nose with one hand, not daring to speak, otherwise he would burst into tears.

On the note, there were a few lines written like this.

"The iron gun is rusty. This gun hasn't been used for a long time."

"The plowshare is damaged. Tomorrow, ask Zhang Muer of Dongcun to add one and a half kilograms of iron and make a dozen."

"If Madam wants to know about your husband, please come alone to the mountains in the suburbs and meet along the plum blossom-shaped mark."

……

The words of Iron Spear and Plowshare were the last words spoken by Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo before they were separated.

This is a secret code between husband and wife. They have not forgotten it for eighteen years, so it is very convincing.

For Lu Chen, who is sitting on the "ocean of mind" and digging into the past at any time, he can reproduce these words intact - let alone just such a paragraph, it is not difficult for him to write the entire book silently.

After much deliberation, he figured out that only with Bao Xiruo's ability could he sneak into Prince Zhao's mansion. Only Yang Tiexin's news can shake Bao Xiruo. Hence this plan.

Lu Chen had already carved plum blossom-shaped marks on the mountain. After waiting for a while, he saw Bao Xiruo alone. He looked over expectantly and called out, "Tiexin!?"

Lu Chen was still wearing a bamboo hat at this time, but he shook his head and said in a rough voice, "I am not him."

Bao Xiruo was indeed a fool, but he was not afraid at all. He said innocently and innocently, "If you are not him, who are you? How do you know what your late husband once said?"

Lu Chen said, "Madam, before you see your husband's body in person, you should talk about killing her husband or keep quiet about her death. It shouldn't be right."

When Bao Xiruo heard this, he became pale, "What do you mean by this... He is dead, I know it very well..."

Lu Chen said, "Ma'am, please don't deceive yourself. This so-called clarity is just the 'clearness' that Wanyan Honglie told you. Of course he had to say this, otherwise how could he get your body? It's a pity that he calculated everything and missed it. Forget it, Yang Tiexin's 'die' was too heroic, not a bit cowardly, and such a sacrifice has been ingrained in your heart for the rest of his life, which living person can compete with him?"

"You...what do you mean!"

"What I mean is that the tragic situation that happened to the Guo and Yang families back then was all caused by Wanyan Honglie. You saved his life, but he retaliated with revenge, causing the two families to be destroyed, and he also deceived you for more than ten years."

Bao Xiruo was dumbfounded and speechless for a while, and finally said, "You are slandering people... there is no evidence... don't, don't... talk nonsense..."

She was a woman with too weak aura. Even though she felt it was not the case in her heart, her voice became smaller and smaller as Lu Chen stared at her with his eyes.

"Perhaps I just said something nonsense, that is, Wanyan Honglie missed not just one point, but two points. Not only did he not ruin the image of my husband, he also failed to really put his husband to death - otherwise, how could I know Those words on the note.”

This reminder made Bao Xiruo react, "...So he...is really not dead?"

"Yes, not only is he not dead, he is also alive and well. He just doesn't know where his wife is and is looking for her all over the world."

After hearing this, Bao Xiruo did not worry about whether Wanyan Honglie was innocent or not. He hurriedly came over and looked at him very urgently, "You... you take me to find him, you take me to find him!"

Lu Chen said, "I just hope that Madam will promise me something..." As he said this, he suddenly felt that these words were a bit strange, and thought to himself that something was wrong. I am a decent person.

Bao Xiruo said firmly, "If you can help us reunite as husband and wife, don't say one thing, I will agree to a hundred things!"

What he said was even more wrong. Lu Chen quickly corrected his style, "Madam, remember Taoist Master Qiu Chuji."

Bao Xiru snorted, "Of course I remember, it was the fierce Taoist priest..." She blushed slightly, as if she felt that it was very bad to describe her husband's friend like this, "I found him later and became my child's master. I When I see him, I want to die...I feel sad when I think of my husband, but I don’t care much about the things between them."

Lu Chen sneered and said, "Don't dare, Daoist Master Qiu Chuji is not qualified to have such a good disciple."

Bao Xiruo heard Lu Chen's sarcasm and frowned, "Why do you always talk like this? You're so weird."

Lu Chen spread his hands and said, "Then let me tell you directly, although your good eldest son is of Yang family blood, he has already recognized his ancestors and returned to the Wanyan family. He has recognized Aguda as his ancestor. He is deeply obsessed with it. He has You do one thing on the surface but another secretly."

Bao Xiruo probably only understood when someone said something bad about his child, and said angrily, "How can you say such things about Kang'er!"

Lu Chen interrupted with a smile, "It's understandable that Madam doesn't want to harm her relatives, but it's a pity that she doesn't know what good things your good son has done recently? Forget it, let's get down to business first. My purpose is very simple. , I want to enter Prince Zhao’s Mansion.”

Bao Xiruo stared at Lu Chen for a while, "What are you going to do when you enter the house?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I can't tell you this. It's not that I don't believe in your character, it's that I don't believe in your wisdom. Wanyan Honglie has been able to deceive you for more than ten years, but you can't even think of deceiving him even once. When the time comes, I will use my When you want something, if you are not careful, thousands of troops will come to kill you, what should you do?"

He pointed to his bamboo hat, "Look, I still wear a bamboo hat, changed my voice, stuffed my body with cotton wool, and changed my appearance, just to prevent you from knowing who I am. Then you recruit a group of people. Prince’s Mansion, I am among that group of people.”

This is the necessary caution in dealing with Our Lady.

Bao Xiruo nodded silently, but judging from his expression, he seemed a little aggrieved by being discriminated against.

But after Lu Chen turned around, he just sighed in his heart, "In this way, if I am exposed, it will have nothing to do with you. Bao Xiruo, Bao Xiruo, if I can live, I will definitely take you back to your husband. , to repay the kindness you gave me twice. If I die, I will never be a drag on you."
