A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 142 Lin Yuan (5)
The national teacher is really out of the mud and not stained, and he looks distraught when his bath is broken.

Lian Deng looked at his back, unable to complain anymore.Thinking about everything just now is still confusing, has she seen it clearly?Only saw a little bit.First the back, as white as satin.Later, when I met him face to face, his hair blocked the front. What could I see?It doesn't make sense!Now it is claimed that she is responsible, she has nothing, what is she responsible for?
She returned to the shore in a daze, and when she saw the deer, she felt really angry for no reason. Pointing to it, she said, "Why didn't you come on board with me? You must know that the national teacher is there, and refused to go with you for self-protection. How can a deer So bad? You will become a beast in the future, so you should do good deeds. Now look at me..." She raised her head and howled, "What can I do!" As she said, she staggered back.

No one can help her. It is a great fortune to be able to witness the national teacher take a bath, but the next problem is very serious. The national teacher is not as magnanimous as she imagined. He wants her to draw up a plan, how to take responsibility, or how to atone for her sins.How do people in the Central Plains generally deal with this kind of problem?Their roles are a bit awkward. If she is a man, she can still slap her chest and agree to marry him.Now that she is a woman, how can a woman compensate a man?
She held her head in her hands and thought for a long time, but there was nothing she could do.Looking at the leak, it was almost time to be ugly, and suddenly a thought popped up, and he decided to run away overnight.

What disguise is nothing compared to her current situation.It also works only when it is ensured that it will not die or be captured alive, so isn't it the same for her mask!

When people are driven to a dead end, they look away from everything.She regretted staying here. If she had gone with Zhuan Zhuan and the others, she would not have encountered such an embarrassing situation today.She turned over and packed her bags in a hurry. Even if she was sorry for the national teacher, she planned to rub the soles of her feet with oil, which was better than facing him again.It can be said that there is no formation inside and outside the palace, which can be said to be a golden opportunity, as long as she climbs out of the palace wall, the sky and the earth outside can let her wander.It's a pity that there are no horses, so we can only enter the city on foot.That's nothing, I'm alone, I'm alone with the world.

She put her bag across her shoulders and sneaked out of Linlang Realm in the dark.The five Lingtai masters of the national teacher were not there, and the night was already so deep, even if there were guards, it should not be difficult to bypass them.She has stumbled on the palace wall to the east, so she is quite familiar with it.She groped along the path among the bamboo forests, and saw two lanterns flickering under the city wall from a distance. When the vigilante went far away, she waded through it with one deep foot and one shallow foot, and finally reached the bottom of the wall.

Looking up, the top of the wall is dark, like stacked dark clouds.She took a few steps back, making sure her feet were solid, and planned to jump up, but she only jumped a foot high, when someone grabbed her and pushed her back, forcing her to take four or five steps back.

She panicked, knowing that this person has a good cultivation, she was afraid of meeting the national teacher again.Standing still at his feet, he took a look at the light, and the tall person with jaded eyebrows and sharp eyes turned out to be Mrs. Cuiwei.

Mrs. Cuiwei's expression was not good, "What is Baili lady doing? The hospitality in the shrine is not good, are you going to sneak away at night?"

It's not a good thing to meet anyone at this time, but this Mrs. Cuiwei didn't like her in the first place, and now that she wants to leave, maybe she will be happy to do so.

She cupped her hands and made a bow, "Liandeng has something to do and is in a hurry to leave, so please forgive me, madam."

Mrs. Cuiwei frowned and looked at her, "If that's the case, why don't you leave your seat and leave through the main entrance? You want to sneak over the wall, what's your intention?"

She suddenly felt a pain in the root of her tongue, she was carrying the national teacher behind her back, how dare she let him know!But seeing the angry look on Cuiwei's face, I'm afraid she can't be fooled.When it was a last resort, she had no choice but to tell the truth. A woman should understand this kind of thing better. No one in the world would hold a woman accountable!
She cupped her hands and bowed, "I have difficulties and cannot say goodbye to the national teacher. I hope Madam will forgive me."

Cuiwei smiled coldly, and looked at her with contempt, "He valued friendship, dared to risk the world's disgrace for Wang Lang, took you in the shrine, and disguised you for you, but you just repaid him like this? Are you so young? , It’s quite scheming. Or did you steal the treasure from the shrine and plan to leave?”

When she said this, Lian Deng remembered the phrase "the thief of rites" said by the national teacher.I was already very disgusted with others using this word to insult her, so I immediately turned my eyebrows cold, "Madam is also considered to be highly respected, it seems a bit inappropriate to speculate. I will not steal things from the shrine, and I have my own reasons for leaving, Madam If you want to hear it, I have to tell you in order to escape. But in the future, if the national teacher blames me, I will have to drag Madam into the water, so Madam must not blame me."

Everyone has curiosity. Although Mrs. Cuiwei doesn't want to see her, since the national teacher is involved, she must have the urge to find out.She looked at her strangely, and reprimanded her for pretending to be a ghost, "If you can't tell the reason, there is no need for the national teacher to ask you, I will not be the first to spare you."

The time for the lotus lantern is limited, and if it is delayed, it will be dawn, so I made a long story short and explained to her how to enter Juxing Pool and how to break through the national teacher to take a bath.After speaking, I felt ashamed, covered my face and said: "I originally promised the national teacher not to tell anyone, but I can't bear this responsibility, and I dare not see him again. Palace. Since Madam is the junior sister of the national teacher, it’s okay to tell Madam about this. I know I shouldn’t abscond in fear of crime, but what should I do if I stay behind? Yes, but I'm a woman, how can a woman ask me to be responsible? If I don't run away, am I still waiting for the national teacher to settle accounts with me?"

She looked at her while talking, and sure enough, that cold and beautiful face also changed, and it was colorful and pretty for a while.

Cuiwei finds it inconceivable, she can't connect Lin Yuan with this incident.According to his usual attitude in dealing with the world, there are only two possibilities after the shock, either he doesn't take it seriously, or he gets rid of it and then quickly.What's going on now?Chasing a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl makes someone responsible, what responsibility?Have you repaired your brain for too long?

She was a little skeptical, squinting her eyes to examine her, "Are you telling the truth?"

Lian Deng nodded repeatedly, "I won't go far away from the shrine, and I'm still in Chang'an City. If Madam finds out that there is a fake, you can find me at any time. I also know that as long as the national teacher wants to arrest me, it's useless to go to the sky But I am afraid now, I can hide for a while, and when the national teacher calms down, I will make amends to him."

This is a difficult problem, even Cuiwei finds it difficult.She has been with Lin Yuan since she was a child, and knows how he is. He takes everything lightly and doesn't care about anything. Because he is too indifferent, he doesn't know how to hurt others.But he is not an unreasonable person, even if he is usually narcissistic to an inexplicable degree, he will not be reluctant because of such an accident.

She looked at the girl in front of her again, and when she saw her for the first time outside Taoranting, she felt that she was so glamorous.There is no heavy lead powder on her face, and there is no Emei outlined by snails. She lacks fine carvings, but she has another kind of beauty.People who live in the desert should have dark and dry skin, but she doesn't have it. It's like the one carefully cultivated behind the bead curtain, and it's so moist and natural.

A beautiful girl is always given special attention, maybe because of her good looks, even Lin Yuan looks at her differently!
She suddenly realized something, and laughed in astonishment, "Maybe the seat is just joking with you... But since you want to leave, then go, avoiding the cusp of the storm, it won't do you any harm."

Lian Deng burst into ecstasy, regardless of Madam Cuiwei's reason for letting her go, as long as she can leave quietly, her life has been saved.

She thanked her, saw that no one was around, got up and jumped onto the crenel, and disappeared into the dark night.

Cui Wei stood quietly for a moment, her heart gradually settled down.He gathered up his sleeves and went to the ashram, dismissed the attendants, and only the maid who was close to him was left to serve him. He sat back and closed his eyes and told: "Don't mention about doing the forbidden spell tonight, in case someone asks about my As for whereabouts, I only said that I have been in the nave all the time, and I have never gone out."

The witch didn't quite understand, "The forbidden spell is authorized by the empress, does Madam have any doubts?"

There is no separation between doctors and witches in Dali, and female doctors in the palace study in the Imperial Medical Office. Apart from abortion and acupuncture, the most important thing is forbidden spells.Among the five sons today, only King Liang was born to the queen, so the queen also loves Princess Liang very much.Concubine Liang was ill and was unable to recover after a long illness. Fearing that the female doctor would not be able to handle her well, she ordered Mrs. Longxi to intervene in person.Since there is an imperial edict, what else is there to be afraid of?

Cuiwei shook her head, but did not answer.

The witch watched her for a long time, saw that she was preoccupied, guessed that it must be related to the visitor, she folded her hands and said: "I saw a young lady outside Linlang today, and I heard that she is a high-ranking student of Taoist Wang." She said, Looking at her face, "Madam and Daoist Wang haven't seen each other for five or six years. I don't know how he is now. Madam, have you asked?"

She was a little annoyed at mentioning this. The relationship between her and Wang Lang was simple and complicated.Sometimes being unilaterally loved by a person and not responding for too long, feels like indebted to him.She hated this half-threatening feeling, so she became more and more indifferent to him. Wang Lang was hurt by his feelings, and went away to the Western Regions alone, hiding in a cave in Dunhuang to paint.It wasn't that she was bad-hearted, as soon as he left, her world lit up again, and the ease was indescribable.But since he has already left, why did he bring out another apprentice five years later, sent him to the Supreme Shrine, and got mixed up with Lin Yuan? Could it be for revenge on her?
She opened her eyes, and said bitterly: "Ask him what he is doing? He won't die. He is a haunted man, lest others forget him, and try to find a way to go to the shrine. Don't mention him in the future, let me Listen, the palace rules deal with it!"

The witch stuck out her tongue, she had never seen Madam hate Wang Lang so much before, but she lost her composure today.Not daring to say much, he retreated to the outside of the hall and closed the door with his hands down, and looked back when he went down the steps, there was a dim light in the mullions, and the silver bells rang chaotically.

The lotus lantern came out of the shrine with brisk steps, and arrived outside the Mingde Gate before the city gate opened.

Chang'an is a prosperous capital city. As Fang Zhou said, the curfew is strict, and the city gates are opened and closed at precise times.When the sky was bright, many people had gathered outside the city gate, including ordinary people and Hu merchants.The lotus lamp was mixed in the crowd, covering half of his face with thick silk.The weather outside really couldn't be compared with that in Jingu, it was like stepping from a warm spring into a severe winter, with the wind blowing on your face, and it was as cold as a knife cut.

She shrank and stomped her feet, turned her head to look at the sky, the hour was almost approaching.After waiting for a while, the first drum sound came from an unknown direction, and then the drum towers in the city spread one after another, connecting in all directions, like thunder in summer, shaking mountains and shaking the ground, and the sound shook the sky.

Those who have never been to Chang'an can't imagine that this city will make such a roar when it wakes up.Shenheyuan is a long way from here, and the life in the shrine is leisurely and soothing, even if the sun is high, there is no sound at all.Unlike here, the Drum Tower started up, and the Dongdong Drum of Lifang and the bell of the temple also rang alternately, no more than [-] beats, lasting for three cups of tea.It’s really an eye-opener. When it comes to winter, it’s like a frozen snake. You have to go through untold hardships when you get up in the morning.Now it's all right, it's going to be like this, no matter how sleepy I feel, I'm afraid I won't be able to lie down anymore.

The gate of the city opened slowly amidst the noise, and the moment the lotus lamp stepped onto the long street, the sunlight happened to shine on her face.The panic of last night had faded away, she looked into the distance, the city was vast, the houses were full of clouds, Chang'an could arouse her fighting spirit no matter what.She settled down, lifted the thick silk on her face, lowered her head, and squeezed into the turbulent crowd.

In Yuntou Temple in the northwest corner of the inner city, two people were sitting on the steps sighing.

"Do you think the lotus lamp can find us?"

Tan Nu glanced at her, "Didn't you tell the madam of Xie Cai Yuan that we will lead her here if someone wants us?"

Turning around and pulling a dead branch on the ground, "People in that kind of place are unreliable. I'll go check it out tomorrow... Are you feeling better?"

With a sullen face, Tan Nu shifted his gaze to mid-air, carefully slammed it, and felt a dull pain in his chest, but he still couldn't bear it.She scratched her scalp and sighed, "Take another two days' rest, and you should gradually get better. It's all my fault for not paying attention, otherwise I wouldn't have moved from Xiecaiyuan to Guanli."

It was rare for Zhuan Zhuan not to argue with her, he stroked her shoulder a few times and said: "Don't say that, human favors are limited after all, and it will be different if you add money. Those fans come and go with gold and silver, and don't give her any favors. She said yes, but turned her head and forgot about it. Now it’s all right, and with the five hundred dongs, she has to do it anyway. It’s just hard for you, and you haven’t gotten better after taking several medicines. I don’t know how long it will take.”

When they came out of the shrine, they actually encountered some difficulties.Let's talk about the flying money first. The Duhu Mansion handled things very quickly this time, probably because the amount was relatively large. The money was withheld in the bank very early, and they almost got caught when they went to exchange it.Since they have no money, they have to find a way to earn it. They still have principles in life, and they don't touch the things of ordinary people.In the Hexi Corridor, if you do some difficult and elegant things, you are looking for profiteers who do not do serious business.When he arrived in the city, he didn't want to disturb the officials, so he had to take the lead with the Yin Yang Inn.

Tan Nu had already made up his mind and found out the way, so he asked Zhuan Zhuan to stay in Beili alone, and left alone.At first I didn't know what kind of job I was going to take, so she waited three days in fear before she came back. She came back with [-] hanging coins and several injuries.

It is said that the person who was killed was a well-known figure in the Jianghu. Tan Nu has been in the desert, and he has never heard of his name.After finishing the work and receiving the money, he realized that several people had already folded it into his hands, and he was good at using needles and poisons.It's okay to poison the weapon, but it can be avoided with Tan Nu's skill, but it's difficult to use poison on the needle.The so-called prickly needles are only the size of a cactus thorn, short and thin, with different depths.Zhuan Zhuan dug the thorns for her for half a night under the lamp, and the last one swam into the meridian, not knowing where it would go with the blood.This is a hidden danger, and it has a great impact on Tan Nu's body. At first she was paralyzed, but later she became sober and began to panic and cough up blood.Zhuan Zhuan was afraid that the people in Beili would attract attention, so he brought her to Yuntou Temple to spend the night.

No matter what, Tan Nu is a hero, she must take good care of her.Xie Sanniang from Xiecaiyuan has already made plans to inquire about it, and she just waits for Lian Deng to join them, and the three of them get together to think about it.

The poison on Tan Nu's body is puzzling. When it's not onset, it's nothing. Except for being a little sluggish, it doesn't seem to be a serious problem.But if you commit a crime suddenly, you may not even be able to get off the couch.Fuju and Zhuanzhuan in Yuntou Temple are friends, and prescribed prescriptions for Tan Nu to control his illness. In the past two days, there has been a slight improvement, but it is really impossible to recover.

Turning around to look at her, she was sitting in the sun, her lips were pale, and her face was bloodless.Zhuanzhuan suddenly felt a little sad, "Tannu, are you okay?"

Tan Nu hummed, "It's just a needle, I can't die. Even if I want to die, I have to wait for the lotus lamp to avenge me before I can go on the road with peace of mind."

Turning around, she said, "Don't be foolish, we agreed not to separate. If it doesn't work, go to Shenheyuan to ask the national teacher, he must have a way."

The two sat under the mountain gate, staring blankly at the end of the path.Gradually, I saw a person coming from a distance, with his head and face covered tightly, but his figure was slim and slim, clearly he was a lotus lamp.

With a sound of turning around, she threw the branch and ran forward, hugging her as if she had been away for many years.The lotus lamp was strangled by her, and she pushed and said: "One day in the mountain, is it a thousand years in the world? I haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and I can't stand the affection."

Zhuan Zhuan said no, "We were worried that you were lost just now, and we planned to go to Beili tomorrow to have a look!"

Lian Deng joked with her, and followed her to the mountain gate, seeing Tan Nu's expression changed, his heart skipped a beat.Tan Nu has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she has a very good body. She has never been sick since the two met.At first glance today, he was devoid of energy, and Lian Deng immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"You went to the Yin Yang Inn?" Seeing her struggling to stand up, she wanted to blame her, but her nose was sore, "Why didn't you listen to me! Whoever made you like this, I'll kill him!"

Tan Nu didn't take it seriously, "I killed that person long ago, and I earned [-] yuan!"

Do you have to risk your life for [-] hanging coins?Lian Deng didn't expect to encounter such a thing when she came out of the Jingu Palace. Fang Zhou was right. She felt that she lived a good life because she had not suffered any setbacks.The outside world is changing rapidly, and she just stepped out with one foot, and she really received a heavy blow immediately.

She bit her lip, feeling ashamed to face them.Turning around, seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly greeted him: "I've been sitting outside for a long time, let's go back!"

Tan Nu's legs were not strong enough, Lian Deng and Zhuan Zhuan supported her from left to right, and then helped her back to the bedroom.

Fuju from Yuntou Temple heard that someone had arrived, so he also came to meet him.Fuju is a female Taoist, in her 20s, and she is the master of this small Taoist temple.Dali's women's ways are different from men's ways, and the composition is more complicated. Some are concubines sent back by rich families, and some are good prostitutes.Fuju's origin is unknown, and her private life is also chaotic. In her words, "the heart is at the root of the world of mortals", and she just changed to a quiet place to continue enjoying.She is a talented person, indulgent and optimistic, likes Qiucile, and has become close friends with Zhuanzhuan, so she takes them in and treats Tannu.

"This kind of poison is not produced in the Central Plains. It is extremely cold and difficult to detox. Besides, the awn needle is nowhere to be found. It needs to be found and shaken out by internal force." Eyebrows said, "The prescription from the day before yesterday doesn't seem to have much effect, I'll try another medicine today... Actually, there are tens of thousands of poisons in this world, and it's best to find the person who poisoned them. .”

Turning around and pounding the table, he said: "The person who poisoned her is already dead, where can I find the antidote? Think of a way, no matter how much it costs, we will cure her."

Fuju nodded again and again, "I know, I also took out everything I could think of. If it really doesn't work, there is only the last way. It's just a way to damage the yin. The medicine is easy to prepare, but the introduction of the medicine is hard to find."

The lotus lamp bowed to her, "Please enlighten me, even if I want dragon liver and phoenix gall, I will definitely get it for her."

Fuju's dusty tail rested on the table, and he carefully said: "This poison is extremely cold, so the medicine primer must be extremely strong. Yin and Yang are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and they are inseparable from beginning to end..." Seeing their bewildered faces, they simply said, "" Find the most prosperous birthday horoscope, ask someone who was born when the sun is sunny, the moon is sunny, and the sun is sunny, take a cup of his blood and add it to the boiled medicine, maybe it will be useful."

"Can one dose be effective?" Zhuan Zhuan asked, "Where can I find such a person?"

Fuju spread his hands and said: "I can't guarantee whether it will be effective immediately, I have to try it to know. Anyway, my ability is so much, success is of course the best, but if there is still no improvement, then I have to hire someone else. As for Where to find this person of pure yang, go to the Taishi Bureau to check the files! All the strange people and things are recorded in the Taishi Bureau."

Zhuanzhuan turned his head in surprise, "Taishi Bureau? Is it the Taishi Bureau of the National Teacher?"

Lian Deng suddenly had a feeling of destiny. She had just escaped from the Supreme Shrine, but Tan Nu had an accident here. It seemed that it had been arranged long ago, and she could not jump out of the Wuzhi Mountain of the National Teacher.Thinking of the shark bead on his neck, he took it off and handed it over, "Take a look at this, can it help Tanu?"

Fuju was also considered to be well-informed. He admired it, and finally shook his head, "This can only prevent poison, but not cure it. You can keep it for yourself, Tannu won't need it."

Lian Deng felt a little regretful, turned around and hung the shark beads around Zhuan Zhuan's neck.Turning around to refuse, she pressed her hand hard, turned around and asked Fuju, "Do you want Yao Yinzi now?"

Fuju said that he was not in a hurry, "Let me change the prescription and try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll go look for it again. Chunyang's blood is too strong, and if it's not used properly, it will lead to death. Don't plan until it's absolutely necessary." He frowned. Thinking about it, what Angelica Bezoar, I went out while counting it carefully.

Lian Deng looked at Tan Nu, she tilted her neck and closed her eyes, probably falling asleep.She went over to tuck the corner of the quilt for her, touched her forehead, it was slightly hot.She was anxious, she stood in front of the couch and looked at it for a long time, then turned around and gave her a hand, "Let her sleep, she will be drowsy for a while near noon every day, and she will be fine at the end of the day."

The two of them withdrew, sat under the grape arbor in front of the house, and turned around and said, "Xie Sanniang from Xiecaiyuan sent me a message that there were three people who were mainly involved in the case of the governor of Baili back then. No doubt, Yushi Zhongcheng Li Xingjian."

Lian Deng nodded, and smiled again, "The name of this admonishing doctor is really ironic. He advises every day, but he is called Buyi. There is no one in the world who is more unworthy of his name than him."

Zhuanzhuan kicked his feet and laughed, "I had the same thought with you when I first heard it. I thought that person must be a hypocrite. If you want to do surgery, you should start with him. You Aye was the one who proposed the crime of treason. He It's the one who started it."

Lian Deng asked: "Are you sure it's these people?"

Zhuan Zhuan said: "I'm also a little worried. After all, human life is a matter of nature, and it can't be sloppy. I told you before, I know Zhongshuling Shang Dingfang. That old Buxiu deliberately wanted to take me as a concubine. To accept his mother's funeral, it's nothing. When the caravan left Chang'an, he helped Ling go south. It's been nearly a year now, and he should have returned. Two days ago, I couldn't worry about Tan Nu, and stayed by her side all the time. Since You are here, so I can get away from Beili. Shang Dingfang asked Liu if he would go to Goulan. From the testimony of the senior member of the Central Committee, it should be almost the same."

Lian Deng was used to her boasting, and when she talked about her appearance, she always spared no effort in her compliments.But after all, it's a big deal, since Zhong Shuling has other thoughts about her, it's dangerous for her to come forward.Lian Deng thought carefully, "The death of the official will definitely shock the government and the public. When the time comes to arrest you, the first suspect will be you."

Turn around and laugh, "If you really want to be afraid of being exposed, just kill him. But I expect that he will not dare to say anything. The important affairs of the court are secrets. If he spreads them at will, he will be more guilty than me. Maybe he will lose his black hat because of it. Do you think he will confess me to Dali Temple?"

She was too sophisticated, but ignored the most direct consequences, "He won't do anything to you in the open, but it's hard to tell in secret. Maybe he will order someone to arrest you and interrogate who ordered you. If it doesn't work, he will kill you and silence you forever. There will be no future troubles."

Now Zhuanzhuan couldn't laugh anymore, and stared at her with a pair of fox-like eyes, "Then what should I do? Should I go to him or not?"

Lian Deng still shook his head, "Think of another way, I have to go to Beili after all. The Chinese New Year will be in a few days, and there is no hope before the year, so I have to wait for Shangyuan. I know that Shangyuan will be open for three days. Forbidden, this is a good opportunity to do it."

Counting the days, "There are still twenty days... Is your mask finished? Put it on and let me see."

She choked up, and said hesitantly: "I met something in the Jingu Palace, and I couldn't wait until the mask was made to come out... Think about it carefully, it doesn't matter whether there is or not. Shangyuan sang Baile opera, and all the bearded women wore it." Veil, I'm dressed to blend in so as not to arouse suspicion."

Zhuan Zhuan didn't know what happened to her, so she waited for half a month and finally gave up. She didn't want to say it, and she couldn't ask, but said melancholy: "I don't know kung fu, and Tan Nu has become like this again. Now you don't even have a helper." None, I'm a little worried."

The lotus lamp doesn't matter, but Tan Nu's illness makes her very worried.She frowned and looked back in the direction of Shenheyuan, and murmured: "Let's wait for two more days, if it doesn't get better, even if I plead guilty, I will definitely ask the national teacher to cure Tan Nu."

Xie Sanniang accepted the five hundred coins that Tan Nu gave in exchange for her life, so she naturally tried her best to do things for others.Turning round and tactful to express that one person's words are not sure, Xie Sanniang asked them to dress up as maidservants and stand aside, and let her start the conversation when they were singing, and lead the gentlemen who were sitting with them to discuss at will. .

Of course, the topic started from the Silk Road, praised Dali's trade, and then extended to Loulan, Persia.Since it is within the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate, how could Suiye City be missing?So from the current guardian to Bailiji.

The guard of Baili has made great achievements in battle, and no one doubts his combat ability.But his crimes are also disgusting, so the outside world has mixed opinions on him. Some say he is arrogant, and some say he occupies the city and becomes king.In any case, his death is a foregone conclusion, and no one dares to question the decision made by Jinshang.

"The way of heaven is brilliant, and there are many loyal ministers. If there were not a few ministers to advise, I don't know what the situation in Dali is today. The fat in the Hexi Corridor might have been owned by the Turks long ago. If Longyou Dao falls, the next thing is Lingzhou and Chang'an. Who is Bailiji? His ancestor was a divine general appointed by the founding emperor, and he was well-versed in the Central Plains. At that time, even the fourth army of the northern government and the twelve guards of the southern government would not be able to deal with it. he."

In their mouths, Bailiji was a rebel who was more brave than loyal, and when the few sour scholars sang together, they turned around for fear that Lian Deng would not be able to hold back, and peeked at her reaction several times.Anyway, if she changed herself, if someone dared to scold her father like that, she would definitely jump up and bite them to death.But there was no lotus lantern, and her eyes were calm, but she clasped the ear of the silver pot of mandarin duck and lotus tightly, so that ten fingernails turned bloody.

Sometimes Zhuanzhuan felt that she was very pitiful, an orphan girl without parents, and the process of losing her parents was so tragic, she was full of hatred, and she didn't blame her at all.But sometimes she feels that she doesn't need sympathy from others at all. She has a very strong heart, which is so powerful that it is daunting.If you do something emotionally, it will often fail.On the contrary, like her, if you move forward without distraction, you can do it properly and successfully.

The husband who those people were talking about was finally found out, and it was the list provided by Xie Sanniang in advance.Lian Deng made up her mind, and those names were chiseled into her mind like inscriptions on a cliff. She held the pot and offered another round of wine, but she left the green tent.

The smell of alcohol in the tent is intoxicating, but outside the tent, the sky is high and the moon is small, and the air is clear.She went to a peach tree and picked the mask, the neighborhood was very lively, silk and bamboo accompanied by teasing, not only the Caicai Garden, but the whole North Village was full of purple, drunkenness and gold.Zhuanzhuan chased him out from the inside, and said with a smile: "Look, it's not wrong at all, right? In fact, no one thought there was any grievance in the case back then, so the officials who handled it didn't have to hide it, and it all came out after a little inquiry. I I thought there were ten or eight, but I didn't expect there were only three. You must have cleaned them all up like chopping melons and vegetables with such skill."

Lian Deng's thinking is not on the same line as hers, "I want to find out their appearance and whereabouts first. You don't need to participate in the next thing. You take care of Tan Nu in Yuntou Temple, and I can solve it by myself. "

Zhuan Zhuan knew that she was afraid of hurting them, but the three depended on each other for life, she was worried about them, and they were also worried about her.She put her arms around her and said, "I know Beili well, as long as they come here, I can arrange it for you."

Lian Deng took her out, smiled and said: "Just because you are familiar, I don't want you to come forward. You take good care of Tanu for me. It seems that Fuju's medicine this time is more useful than the previous one. Let's see the situation again." Well, if it really doesn’t work, I’ll find a way to enter the Taishi Bureau and get the medicine primer so that Tan Nu can get rid of the root cause of the disease.”

Speaking of the Taishi Bureau, Zhuanzhuan thought of releasing the boat, shyly and timidly arched her shoulders, "May I ask Chunguan for help, isn't Sitianjian affiliated to the Taishi Bureau? I asked you to replace me last time." Inquiring news, how is the inquiring going?"

The corner of Lian Deng's mouth twitched, and he let out a long hiccup, "Chun Guan's name is Fang Zhou. He is 25 and six years old. He was taken in by the national teacher when he was young. He has no relatives and no wife and room."

Turning around and stroking his palms, he said very well, "That means he is alone and has nothing to worry about. I like this kind of person the most. He is the same kind of person as us, without three aunts and six wives, and there will be less trouble in the future." While talking, he pushed her, " Did you mention me to him? What's his impression of me?"

Lian Deng didn't know how to answer her. How true or false what Fang Zhou said was not sure yet. He said that he had a marriage contract with her, so how could he ask her to explain it to her?She felt uncomfortable when she thought about it, what kind of doggy marriage contract, there is no matchmaker and no proof, so it can't be done correctly.But before turning around, she still had to remind her, "People's hearts are separated from the belly, just being handsome is not enough. According to my opinion, Chunguan has too many thoughts and is difficult to deal with. If you are really interested in him, you will have the opportunity to observe carefully in the future. Then make a decision. As for his impression of you... it's all rambling, and I can't hear any clues."

Zhuan Zhuan felt lost, "It can be seen that he is a person who is not deceived by beauty!" His favorability has increased again.

Lian Deng ran away, and never dared to continue this topic with her.

The next day, she began to inquire about everything about the advising doctor, from the house to the places where she usually does activities, and even which roads she passed by.After three days of follow-up, finally a good opportunity came, the wife of the Zhang family was going to Puzhou to visit relatives, Zhang Buyi sent them out of the city, not many people with him, two or three servants, it was easy to deal with.She gritted her teeth secretly behind the cover of the Orchid Restaurant, fearing that people would notice her actions in the city, it would be safer to follow outside the city.

The flat-headed chariot came here, she turned her back to avoid it, and was about to lift the thick blanket to cover her face, when a figure blocked the sunlight.She raised her eyes to look up, and saw the radiant light behind the general sitting high on the horse. Seeing her, she smiled, "Where do we never meet again in life, isn't this a distinguished guest of the Taishang Shrine!"

Lian Deng was stunned, not sure how long he had been paying attention to her, but he didn't seem suspicious, otherwise he wouldn't have come to strike up a conversation with her at this time.She didn't have a good impression of him, so it was fine for him to provoke her, but it was a pity that she missed a good opportunity.She glanced at the street from the corner of her eye, the chariot was getting further and further away, regardless of whether he could be sent away as soon as possible, since he was hit by him, Zhang Buyi couldn't move for the time being.She was a little frustrated, but she couldn't break out, so she had to pretend to be a coincidence, and called the general.

Xiao Chaodu looked around, "Isn't the one who fought with me last time there? And that lady from Kucha? Why are you alone?"

Lian Deng answered very vaguely, "It's true that I'm the only one. Is there anything the general can do with them? The clearance has been settled, is there something wrong?"

He smiled slightly, "It's nothing. The last time I said goodbye to the shrine, Tan Nu said that she wanted to compete with me again. I waited for a long time, but I didn't see her come to Beiya to look for me. Now when I meet a lady, I will ask her for help." Ask around, where is she, does the agreement count?"

It turned out that he was still thinking about what happened that day, but Tan Nu hit him a little harder, and he beat him by half a move at the beginning, but it made him worry about it to this day.It seems that a big man has official prestige, but his capacity is small enough. This is the case with General Yunhui, and the same is true for the national teacher in the Supreme God Palace.

She said she was sorry, "Tan Nu is not in good health recently, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the general's appointment. When she recovers, or the general is in a hurry, I can ask the general for advice on her behalf."

He blinked his eyes after hearing this, the girls from the Western Regions are really not simple, they are all so tough, they can also do things like fights for them.But his original intention was not in this, so he reined in the horse and asked, "Is she not in good health? Is she suffering from the cold? Is there a doctor?"

Lian Deng nodded, "Thank you General for your concern, I have already seen the doctor, and I came out to get her medicine."

He sat on the horse without saying a word for a while, and then said after a while: "I thought I could fight her again, but it's a pity. Did the lady just say that she has been ill all this time? If the doctor is not good, I will send someone to check her pulse."

Lian Deng squinted her eyes and looked up, her enthusiasm was unreasonable.However, she wants to go to the Taishi Bureau to check the files, and she sneaks in for fear of meeting those Lingtai Langs. If she can use his identity to get rid of favors, then things will be easy.But what she wants to do in the future is to avoid him, and she has to decide whether to get involved with him or not.

She bowed to him again, "The general's kindness is appreciated. Now this doctor's medical skills are superb, even if he is replaced, it may not be effective. To tell the truth, the general, Tan Nu is very sick, and I have tried many medicines but there is no improvement. I am anxious." It’s amazing. Most of the medicines on the prescription are matched, only the last one is missing. I’ve been looking for it for the past few days, but unfortunately I can’t find it anywhere.”

He said, "What kind of medicine is it? Maybe it will be able to help."

It is not clear where the fate comes from, and there will be all kinds of strange reasons.Xiao Chaodu and Tan Nu rely on fighting, and there is a feeling called heroes cherishing heroes, and this is the case between them.Lian Deng could see that he wanted to help, but he was not sure if the pure Yang blood would arouse his suspicion, so he prevaricated: "Don't ask, General, I can't find it on the market. But I heard that it is in the library of the Taishi Bureau. There is a record about this medicine, but unfortunately the Taishi Bureau can't get in, can the general think of a way for me?"

Xiao Chao felt strange, "The Taishi Bureau is in charge of the Imperial Palace. Since the lady has contacts with the Jingu Palace, if she wants to enter, she only needs to explain to the Imperial Advisor. It shouldn't be difficult."

She said, "But the general forgot that the national teacher often retreats, and it is not easy to see him. Besides, when we first arrived in Chang'an, we troubled the shrine many times, and now we have left and turned back. I am really embarrassed." She pursed her lips and smiled. Smiled, and said modestly, "I am also in a hurry to go to the doctor. If the general can help, I will be grateful. If there is any difficulty, I will let it go. I will go to Shenheyuan again with the cheek. It is important to save Tanu .”

Xiao Chao thought for a while, and then nodded, "I happen to have a friend who works in the Taishi Bureau. The ancient book library you mentioned is not classified as confidential. If you clear it up a bit, you will go in as soon as you go in. But my lady, wait a moment." , I have to discuss with him first. The State Teacher’s rule cannot be sloppy, and if it can’t be done, I won’t ask you to make a trip in vain.”

Lian Deng was very happy and quickly thanked him. He smiled and said: "I did it for my own selfish desires. I narrowly won the fight last time. It was easy to win. I cured her illness, so I just asked her for advice." Ask, "Where do you live now? I will send someone to inform you when the matter is settled."

Lian Deng didn't want him to know where he lived, so he made excuses and said, "I don't dare to have General Lao anymore. We have been walking around and can go to Beiya to listen to news at any time. Tan Nu tried a new prescription these two days, and I don't know how effective it is. If it doesn't get better, you will have to bother the general in the end."

Xiao Chaodu obviously didn't mind the trouble, so he waved his hand and turned his horse's head to inspect.

Lian Deng watched him go away, and then checked Zhang Buyi's chariot, which had already disappeared.She sighed, lost interest and led the horse back, looked up at the sky, the sun was in the sky.Let's wait until night, Mrs. Zhengpai is away. He has an outer room in Guangdefang, and he will go there sooner or later.

Once she made up her mind to do something, she had the willpower to stick to it.No longer wandering around like headless chickens, just squatting in Guangdefang.

After all, no one knew that Bailiji's daughter was still alive. Officers and soldiers watched her go to the ground. The branch of Bailishi's main house became extinct, so the husbands in Chang'an can rest easy.If you don't feel the danger, your life will be less frightening. Even if you are afraid of death, you will have expert guards around you, and you will have to avoid people's eyes and ears when you come to the outer room.An admonisher who was in charge of impeaching officials and advising the emperor's words and deeds stole his brother's foreign house, and he would lose face if he said it.

The lotus lamp sits on the roof, and the end of the year is approaching, and the crescent moon is thin and faint.She chewed the mustard pancakes and looked through the misty mist at the courtyard gate. There were two lanterns on the top of the tall poles, illuminating the open space under the steps.Usually the lights are not lit here, but today the door was left intentionally, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

Sure enough, soon a small sedan chair was quietly inserted from under the courtyard wall, Lian Deng stood up and stared at it closely, the sedan chair stopped at the door, and a person came out from the curtain, it was Zhang Buyi.After getting off the sedan chair, I looked around to make sure that no one entered the courtyard gate.

The fighting spirit of the lotus lantern was ignited, like a leopard finding its prey, its body and mind tensed up.She leaned on the tiles and looked carefully. The bearer of the sedan chair was ushered into the backyard. He had only one long follower close to him. Judging from his footsteps and posture, he should have never practiced martial arts.

A beautifully dressed woman came out to greet him, and warmly held him in the door. The lotus lantern climbed up the roof with a mustache in its mouth, and listened to it, and could hear the murmur from below, which was nothing more than "Why did you come here now, my servant can wait for you?" So anxious" or something.

She carefully lifted a piece of black tiles, and there were people walking around underneath, who were preparing a banquet for him.

Zhang Buyi said: "The sage sent Wulang to Jiannan Road to supervise the grain transportation, and he couldn't come back before Qingming. His wife went to Puzhou again, and it usually took more than two months to return. It’s really troublesome to communicate with Marquis Wu. Why don’t you pack up and change your clothes and go to another courtyard with me, and stay there until Wulang returns.”

The outer room said: "Qingqing, I know you pity me. I have been sore all over the past two days, and the sunflower water is also ten days late. I am afraid I am pregnant. I can't go to the other hospital. You have me in your heart." , go here two more times, I am also satisfied."

Zhang Buyi let out a long sigh, "Can you ask the doctor to look at it? Have you forgotten the date? Whose?"

The outer room was full of coquettish anger, "How can I figure it out, the left is only your two brothers, and there are outsiders."

Zhang Buyi chuckled, "That's the same thing, if the meat rots in the pot, it doesn't matter who owns it..."

The conversation of the people in the room was unbearable, and the people on the roof spurned it.This is the life of the dignitaries in Chang'an, it is so dirty that it is hard to describe.Now that I think about it, the National Teacher is really out of the mud and not stained, and he looks distraught when his bath is broken. Looking at this famous official, it is hard to imagine that they were officials in the same dynasty.

Pushing a cup to change a cup, Lian Deng squatted on the roof and waited patiently.After drinking for three rounds and making lewd noises, she rolled her eyes and became ruthless. After a while, she had to saw two more times with the knife. Whoever made her ears suffer, she would make him pay the price.

Finally the lights in the room went out, she pulled out the mist from the bamboo tube and threw it in through the gap in the rafters.After two cups of tea, the sound gradually became silent, she climbed down the eaves and sneaked into the house, and saw Zhang Buyi naked with her arms around Jiao'e, sleeping soundly.

She drew out the knife and compared it, but the tip of the knife could not touch the woman.She didn't feel particularly happy when she took revenge, she did it very calmly.When the knife was cut, blood gushed out, like a small opening in a water bag, and the water rushed out from inside, making intermittent sizzle sounds.

The woman on the bed slept unconsciously, and Zhang Buyi kicked her legs a few times before she was done.The news of his death will spread tomorrow, because the place where the crime happened is very controversial, and his reputation will be discredited after his death.

She smiled and put the knife back into its sheath.When I came out, I didn't forget to close the door, jumped up to the roof again, and disappeared into the night after a few ups and downs.

A person stood on the cornice not far away, and the starlight smudged the silver lines on the corners of his robe. He stood quietly for a long time, from the time she crouched guard until she left.Judging by the lightness of her movements, it must have been done very well.He looked in the direction of her escape, the night was silent, not even a barking of a dog was aroused.He twitched the corners of his mouth, and the fledgling is meticulous in his actions, and a child can be taught.

Lian Deng returned to Yuntou Temple, fearing that his body would be bloody, so he washed up in the yard before entering the bedroom.Turn around and sit under the lamp to watch over Tan Nu. Seeing her coming back, she hurriedly got up, checked up, down, left, and right, and said in a low voice: "I haven't seen you for two days, how anxious! How is it? Has it been done?"

She nodded and said with a smile, "There are two more."

Turning around to look at the expression on her face, it seemed that she didn't recognize her, and looked at her with a pair of big eyes in horror, "Liandeng, are you afraid?"

She raised her eyes slowly, "Why should I be afraid? I've killed people before, and it's no different from normal." While talking, she went to the bed to see Tan Nu, she lost a lot of weight, and she sat down and shook her hand, "You Is it better?"

Tan Nu took a few breaths and said that it was much better, "I know you are out on errands, and I can't help you, so I am very anxious. Just kill one, and deal with the rest slowly. Don't be in a hurry and fall into other people's traps inside."

She hummed, "I know, no matter what, I won't do it again years ago. The next time I will be in Shangyuan, get well soon and give me advice."

Tan Nu grinned, "I think so too. I lie down every day, and my muscles and bones are not flexible." He said and looked up at the window, "Tomorrow the city of Chang'an will not be peaceful. Did you pay special attention when you did it? Get someone to hold on to it."

She said: "Originally it was going to bear fruit together with the person next to him. The national teacher once warned me not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so I let the woman go. I used incense to lure people into the house, and the servants in the house also They all rested, and no one found me. Zhang Buyi impeached a lot of people, and there should be a lot of foreign enemies. Besides, he died in his brother's foreign house, even if Dali Temple had to investigate, there were too many grievances and hatreds inside, and it would take a lot of money. A lot of work!"

After hearing this, Tan Nu slapped the mattress happily, "The place is well chosen, and the teacher has made a great victory. Congratulations."

Lian Deng was very peaceful in her heart, she didn't care about what happened just now.Thinking of Xiao Chaodu coming, he tucked the quilt for her and said: "I met that General Yunhui in the market two days ago, he asked me about you."

Tan Nu looked at her puzzled, "He? Ask me what?"

"You said you were going to look for him, but I couldn't hold back after waiting for a long time without seeing you coming." Lian Deng looked back and turned around, "I think Xiao Chao is very concerned about Tan Nu, I said Tan Nu was not well, and he planned to send a doctor to treat her. I was afraid that Tan Nu's injuries would be exposed, so I politely declined. But I mentioned the Taishi Bureau to him, and he also agreed to find a way for me to let me in. Check the file. I want to go to him tomorrow, just to find out what the case has to say."

Turning his eyes to look at Tan Nu, he tsk-tsk said: "What a prudence, and said that I am quick-witted, and I hit up Mr. Lang without saying a word."

Tan Nu lay there and yelled, "Try nonsense again, don't think I dare not beat you."

Zhuan Zhuan now felt confident and said with a smile: "Get up if you have the ability. If you really have the strength to hit someone, it means you have recovered from the disease."

Tan Nu struggled for a long time without success, and the next day he disappeared.Zhuan Zhuan burst into tears, Lian Deng watched silently for a while, tied up his belt and went out.

Go to Beiya and find the Shendi Army.Originally, Tan Nu's situation was pretty good, but suddenly collapsed for some reason, Lian Deng didn't care about other things, so she found Xiao Chaodu and asked him to take her to the Taishi Bureau.

Xiao Chaodu is busy here with Zhang Buyi's case, so she was too busy to do anything when she came.But when he heard that Tan Nu was not in good shape, he pondered for a while, and called the deputy to replace him, and he dropped what he was doing and sent her to the Taishi Bureau.

It's always easy to have acquaintances. A friend of Xiao Chaodu's is Zhuo Lang, who specializes in history, writes biographies of famous officials, and is also involved in the library of classics.But after all, it was illegal for outsiders to enter the warehouse, so she thought of a way to get her to change her outfit, pretend to be a handyman in the bureau, and get in under the name of cleaning.

She used to think that there were enough books in the cave, but compared with this place, there were so few.Fortunately, there is a special storage place for the folk texts, but dozens of files are arranged on a shelf, and it may take several days to search through each page.

She was so anxious that she couldn't do it in order, so she extracted it by intuition. She hoped that she would be lucky enough to find that part of the record at once.However, after reading five or six books in a row, they were all auspicious and visionary phenomena discovered in the past hundred years, and there was no record about the birth date at all.Her mind was muddled, thinking of Tan Nu's appearance, her eyes filled with tears.Biting his lip and pulling out a book, no.Another copy, still nothing.She hurried to the other end of the shelf, where many classics were arranged tightly, and picked out this thread to assemble.The moment he took the book out, he saw the scene on the opposite side, and put the book back quickly without any other consideration.

What did you see just now?She stood stunned, tears had accumulated enough and flowed down from her eyes, but she forgot to cry.

Are you dazzled?Why did she see the face of the national teacher?

She didn't move her hand from the book, after thinking about it, she took the collection down.

This time her scalp was numb, and she stared at the other side dumbfounded, and the book in her hand fell to the ground with a slap.

Even though the line of sight was compressed into a narrow one by the gap, she could still taste the arrogance and anger of the national teacher.His brows were tightly frowned, his eyes shot her full of holes, and he said in a cold voice: "Leave without saying goodbye, are you planning to give up all the time?"

This word seems to be used a little strangely. Lian Deng thought for a long time, and felt that he probably did not read too much to understand the profoundness of Chinese culture.She hurriedly picked up the book and hugged it to her chest, stammering and saying no, "Why hasn't the national teacher retreated yet?"

He walked around the shelf and came to her, and said with his hands behind his back: "The time of retreat is decided by me, I can close it if I want to, and if I don't want to, I can catch thieves all over the city."

Lian Deng coughed and said with a sneer: "There are no thieves here."

He didn't speak, and looked her up and down, Lian Deng realized that he shouldn't be here, he was a thief of rituals before, but this time he became a thief of books.She secretly lamented that since she couldn't escape, this matter would have to be resolved sooner or later. Instead of begging for mercy, she might as well show some courage, then nodded and said, "I'm a thief, but the crime is not serious. room for salvation."

He raised his eyebrows, turned his eyes away, arrogant but seemed willing to listen to her plan.In fact, when she left Taishang Shrine, she thought she had escaped from birth, and she had no intention of explaining to him at all.Now that he is here, she must be a little sincere, in case he is in a good mood and is willing to save Tanu.

"Let me do things for the national teacher!" She licked her lips and said, "If the national teacher needs me, just ask, Lian Deng will go up the knife mountain and down the oil pan for the national teacher, and I will not hesitate."

Hearing the words, he said, "There are a lot of disciples in this seat, and they waved their sleeves in all directions. Is there anything you can't do without you? What can you do for me?"

He choked her with his words, but she was not discouraged, and said solemnly: "The national teacher's command is full of huge rocks on Mount Tai, but the edges and corners meet, and there is always a hollow place. Although I am inconspicuous, I may not be useless. The national teacher can't remember now Where can I be used, I will credit the national teacher's favor first, and when the national teacher remembers, I will be at the national teacher's dispatch at any time."

He turned around, the corners of his gorgeous clothes curled up in a stunning arc, and he said in a cold voice: "Is this kind of debt you can get on credit if you want? You fled overnight without sincerity, how can I trust you? Besides, I don't lack pebbles here, you are useless to me."

Lian Deng stared at him blankly, what on earth did he want?This can't work, that can't work, she has nothing to do.

She sighed heavily, "The only way for the Central Plains to be responsible is to marry, but the national teacher is a man, and I am a woman, so I can't marry you."

He turned around abruptly, with a bad expression on his face, "What did you say?"

She was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, the national teacher must not misunderstand, I didn't mean to blaspheme you at all. I mean... the way that is customary in the Central Plains, once married, isn't it always like this? Of course, the national teacher is different from those girls. The national teacher is the pillar of the country, and she will never be wronged to marry me. I am from the desert, and I have no house or land..." She suddenly realized that the more she talked, the worse she was, and she was flustered He paused to look at him.He was really angry, his face turned pale and turned cold.Lian Deng felt sorry for her, rubbed her hands together and said, "National Teacher... Apart from working hard for you, I really can't do anything else..."

As soon as she uttered the word, she saw him flicking his fingers, and something flew straight into her throat. Before she had time to react, she swallowed it with a gurgling sound.

21
She thought that she was going to die now, and she clutched her neck in despair, "Take a message to Ah Pu, and say that I will not be able to repay his great kindness in this life..."

He frowned and looked at her. She was wearing a gray-brown crotchless gown and her hat was tilted. No matter how beautiful her face was, her dying look was not flattering.Do you think he poisoned her to death?Really want her life, need such trouble?He flicked his sleeves, "Shut up, it's too loud! You have shark beads, which can resist all kinds of poisons, so what are you afraid of?"

She regretted a little, "The Shark Bead is not on me, I will die." After thinking about it, she only killed one Zhang Buyi, and the other two were still at ease, and she felt a little bit unwilling to die.

His face became more and more ugly, "You lost such a rare thing?"

She said no, "I asked her to wear it around, for fear that she would be murdered."

So it was her way of expressing gratitude when someone gave something to someone else without notifying her?He coldly pursed his upper lip and stopped talking, but nodded slowly. Every nod should make her fear deeper.

Lian Deng was still dumb, thinking of Tan Nu who was bedridden, she opened her mouth to beg him, but when she saw his face, she was so frightened that she swallowed her words again.

I always feel that he has a lot of dissatisfaction with her, but this kind of dissatisfaction is difficult to express. What is it, besides everything that happened on the Gathering Pool, there may be other things.She looked into his gloomy eyes, and felt cold all over her body, but for some reason, he no longer had the untouchable feeling of the past when he stood here, and she even felt that she could see through the gorgeous robe. He doesn't look naked...

She blushed slowly. She used to be calm and didn't know why she was blushing, but now she was panicked when she saw the national teacher. This kind of panic was unreasonable and difficult to control.

He glared at each other at first, but once they fell silent, they vaguely felt different tastes.She raised her eyes to glance at his chest from time to time, and the scene of that night on the lake reappeared before his eyes, and the faint sense of shame that followed made him take a step back unconsciously, "What kind of eyes are you? looking at what?"

She murmured, "It's nothing, just look around."

His forehead twitched, what does it mean to be blind?The hand that was clutching the sleeve of the sleeve wanted to raise it to cover it, but hesitated for a while, and finally held back.Don't turn your head to remind her, "It's not easy to get shark beads. There are only five in total in the Supreme Shrine. I gave you this gift for your personal use, not for you to sell it as a favor. You want If you don’t carry it with you when you’re doing business, what will you do if you encounter a weapon that is poisoned? Die? Or go to the shrine again to ask me?” He glanced sideways, “If I don’t save useless people, you don’t need to open my lord. There is also that shark bead, go and get it back, and don’t let it fall into the hands of outsiders. If you don’t take it seriously, please return it to me, so as not to spoil the sacred object.”

Lian Deng hurriedly agreed after hearing this, and said shamelessly: "I know that the shark pearl is precious, and it is because of this that I put it on my friend. It doesn't matter to me. I am afraid that something will happen to my friend. One of them was poisoned, and his life was in danger, and I was afraid that the other would make a mistake, so I left the shark beads for her to defend myself."

As she spoke, she looked at his expression.Although he has made it clear that he will not save people, but tell Tan Nu's situation, at least try his luck.Who knew that he was really irrelevant, snorted: "My life and death are uncertain, and I still have time to mind other people's affairs."

After he reminded Lian Deng, he just remembered that he had swallowed an unknown medicine just now, and it has not been poisoned until now. The interval seems to be a bit long.She lowered her head and savored carefully, but there was still no response. She was really confused, so she asked him cautiously, "What did the national teacher give me just now? It can't be the elixir of the Supreme Lord!"

He showed a thoughtful expression, raised his head proudly, his jaw was tight and exquisite, and said after a long while: "This medicine is a miracle medicine. When you are loyal to me, it will not do anything to you, but once you have If you set your mind twice and don’t know how to repent, it will torture you, make you miserable, and finally die of intestinal rot." He lowered his head and approached her with a mysterious smile. Zhang, if you betray me, it will be poison, and it will kill you at any time, even if you wear shark beads, it won't work, do you understand?"

Lian Deng looked at him in amazement, "I've said so much, isn't it just Gu poison! The national teacher is a famous and decent family, why would he still do such a thing?"

He gave her a blank look, "When did I say that Taishang Jingu is a decent school? Besides, if you encounter righteousness, you will be upright, and if you encounter evil, you will be evil. Based on your actions, what qualifications do you have to criticize me?"

Lian Deng always thought that the national teacher had practiced for many years and had already reached the state of demigod, so he should be infinitely more enlightened than anyone else.But now she sees his small stomach and he cares about every detail, she is almost a different person from when she first met in the main hall.Is this still the original national teacher?So unreasonable, does his subordinate know?
She took a breath and wanted to vent, but when she saw his face, she automatically languished.Anyway, now that the medicine has been taken, it's too late to say anything. She can only ask about the situation as much as possible, and avoid it if she can, because she really doesn't want to die so ugly.

"I can do it loyally. As long as the national teacher has the order, Lian Deng will do my best." She paused for a while, "I just want to know how long the effect of this medicine will last. When I leave Chang'an, whether Still working?"

She obviously didn't understand what the so-called "loyalty" meant. Did she work hard for him and go through fire and water?no.He folded his sleeves and simply explained to her, "My seat comes first in everything, and you have to stand by this seat regardless of right or wrong. This seat tells you to go east, you can't go west, this seat tells you to stand To die, you can't sit and die. Is there a time limit... It seems that there is no time and place limit. In short, you have to obey this seat for the rest of your life, and the most important thing is that you can't have others in your heart. You should know what the consequences will be if your judgment is violated."

Lian Deng was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, "That means I won't be able to marry in the future?"

His face changed suddenly, "You do such a shameless thing, and you still want to get married peacefully?"

The lotus lamp let out a cry, and suddenly felt like its future was ruined.What on earth did she do to accept such unfair treatment.Isn't it just seeing his back, and you can't even tell what the front looks like, so you have to pay for it for the rest of your life?She looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Doesn't the national teacher feel that the punishment is too heavy? I am only sixteen during Chinese New Year, and I still have decades to live."

He turned his head, unmoved, "I allow you to live in the Supreme Shrine until you die."

She almost had the heart to die, and said unyieldingly: "I only see a little bit!"

"How much more do you want to see?" He threw a harsh sentence, "Do you think this seat treats you unfairly? Who told you to do it yourself!"

This seat is long and this seat is short, Yelang is arrogant and does not show affection.But he couldn't confront him head-on, so Lian Deng lowered his posture and begged for mercy, "I'm Wang Apu's apprentice, can't I be accommodating?"

He didn't even look at her, turned around and walked out, saying as he walked: "If you are not flexible, you should be in the sky prison in Dali Temple now."

Lian Deng stared blankly at his back, that's all, the matter has come to this point, it seems that it is her fate.Now the tip of the needle is useless to Maimang, it won't be too late to plead for mercy when the national teacher is in a better mood.The most important thing right now is Tan Nu, her poison has penetrated into the skin, and Fuju said that it will be too late.She didn't care much, and hurriedly picked up her robe and chased after him.

"National Teacher... National Teacher..." She followed him shortly and begged, "My friend is dying, please ask the National Teacher to save her."

As if he had never heard of it, he continued walking through the dappled corridor.Lian Deng had no choice but to hasten his pace, seeing that he was going to be unable to catch up, he bravely grabbed his sleeve.

How noble the national teacher is, the clothing must be the finest brocade, which feels as slippery as running water.It's a pity that he didn't like her touch, so he pushed her back and shook her away, "I said that if you don't save people who are useless, your friend is dead or alive, what does it have to do with me?"

Lian Deng said: "Record it in my account, and I owe the teacher a sum, won't it work?"

He held one side of his mouth and seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were full of doubts, "Do you still have room for credit here?"

She was choked back, and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.He wanted to leave, but she didn't bother her any more, she just felt that if Tan Nu died, she would have avenged herself, and she would go to hell with her.

She raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes. He didn't want to save him, so he couldn't blame him for being hard-hearted. After all, he didn't owe her anything.She sighed, turned around and planned to go back to the library, but unexpectedly, he stopped at the end of the corridor.Looking around, she arched her shoulders, looking lonely and pitiful.He moved a little compassionately, called her and asked, "Why did you sneak into the Taishi Bureau secretly?"

She hurriedly turned her head and replied, "Tannu's prescription is missing a drug introduction. I heard that the Taishi Bureau has records about Chang'an aliens... I want the blood of Chunyang to save Tanu's life."

He frowned almost invisibly, "Pure Yang Blood? Who told you the prescription?"

Lian Deng said: "It's Zhuan Zhuan's friend. She is good at medicine and has been treating Tan Nu for ten days."

She fully thought that since he intervened, he would never die, but who knew that he was not in such a good mood, so she just said: "There is no such person in the world." Slowly walked down the corridor and went elsewhere.

Lian Deng was stunned, without such a person, wouldn't Tan Nu be hopeless?Tan Nu's life was picked up by her, but in the end it was destroyed in her hands, so what's the point of saving her in the first place!

Feeling hopeless, she walked out of the Taishi Bureau with her shoulders slumped.Xiao Chaodu was still waiting at the door, when he saw her coming out, he rushed forward to meet her, and asked how she was, "Did you find it?"

She shook her head, "No, there is no such person in the world."

Xiao Chao was confused when he heard that, "Didn't you go to find medicine, why did you become a human again?"

She glanced at him, and answered weakly, "People are medicine, and medicine is people..." She really didn't want to talk, and walked along Anshangmen Street aimlessly, not knowing where to go.

There were many people around her, so she stopped and stood for a long time, wondering if there was anyone she was looking for in the crowd.Now I am a little afraid to look back at Yuntou, afraid of seeing Tan Nu's appearance, and also afraid of facing Zhuan Zhuan's questioning.But hiding is not the answer, can you really ignore Tan Nu's life and death?
She still returned to Yuntou Temple, her eyes were red when she entered the door.Zhuan Zhuan seemed very happy, and pulled her to show her the porcelain vase on the table, "Someone sent this just now, saying it was what you wanted. I smelled it as blood, and I was about to ask where you got it from." Woolen cloth!"

Surprised, she pulled out the cork and looked. It was so dark inside that she couldn't see clearly, but there was a sweet smell wafting out, it was really blood.She was stunned, the national teacher clearly said that there was no such person, so he turned around and sent it, so it was just to hit her before!She suddenly wanted to cry but had no tears, her heart was full of resentment and gratitude, and she choked up holding the bottle.

Because she didn't know what to do, she just thought she was worried about Tanu, and said in relief: "Don't worry, Fuju is already brewing medicine, and it will be used soon."

She hurriedly wiped her tears to see Tan Nu, but she was still groggy and didn't recognize anyone.Turning around and sighing, "It's come to this point, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Fuju has brought out all his housekeeping skills. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid we will have to prepare a coffin."

At this time, Fuju came in with the medicine, and the black juice of the medicine filled a large bowl.Zhuan Zhuan added the blood in the bottle, stirred it with a spoon, and the three of them worked together to help Tan Nu sit up, and fed them one mouthful at a time, and the rest was just waiting, success or failure depends on one move, no one has any idea .

I don't know how long it took, about two quarters, when I heard Tan Nu calling for the lotus lamp, I actually stood up and sat up.Lian Deng and Zhuan Zhuan cried out in shock, went up and hugged her tightly, Zhuan Zhuan burst into tears, "It's all right now, and I can't die."

But Fuju broke their good wishes with one sentence, "Don't forget that the needle is still in her body. If you want to recover, you must get rid of the root cause of the disease. And this bowl of medicine can only relieve the urgent need. Next It happens every seven days, and you need to keep taking blood from that person, you have to inform him to see if he is willing to provide it for a long time."

Lian Deng doesn't know who that person is, so go ask the national teacher later!She also became cruel, "Anyway, no matter what, the blood must be taken. If he agrees, let it go. If he doesn't agree, he can't blame me for being evil, and if he is tied, he will tie him up."
