The general will eat grass

The masked general did not torture Zhao Yuansong, but repeatedly asked him how he met the Ninth Prince, and his identity before he entered Changlehou's mansion.No rest, no water to drink, one question after another, accompanied by the sound of whipping and screams coming from an unknown cell.

Zhao Yuansong didn't know how long time had passed, his brain was dull and his spirit was slowly weakening.

"Why do you use the same pronunciation name as Zhao Shouyi's eldest son?"

"I've said it all, he gave me that name, how do I know why?"

"Why don't you remember Cui Orion in the col of Liangshan?"

"He had an accident when I was less than one year old, how could I remember?" Zhao Yuansong never tires of repeating these questions.

"You and the Ninth Prince really met by chance, didn't you arrange it on purpose?"

"Of course, at first I didn't know he was the Ninth Prince."

"Why did you think that the assassin was sent by Jiang Zhenglong of the Jiang family?"

"Because he's been bothering me recently."

"Okay, then tell me, after your Xiyi slave has restrained Xiao Dezi, what do you mean by making good use of him and profiting from it?"

"Then there's no need to ask, of course I'm looking for a backer!" Well, I accidentally said my true thoughts.Zhao Yuansong was stunned for a moment, and immediately gathered his thoughts, and growled on the surface: "Hmph, Jiang Zhenglong has a backer, and he has no scruples to trouble me. Then I can also find a prince as a backer, just as the little Dezi wants to To assassinate the prince, I became the prince's life-saving benefactor, afterward, the Ninth Prince didn't give me a big reward, so you have to take care of me for a while depending on the situation."

The masked general was silent for a while, and then said: "The inspector's office found out that you gave the secret method of armor making to King Changyu before meeting the emperor, and then said that the secret method was dedicated to the emperor when you were in front of the emperor. Are you cheating? Jun!"

Zhao Yuansong pursed his lips and looked up at the masked general, "I am a businessman. In my eyes, only a community of interests can cooperate and help each other. I have nothing to do with the old prince, and I have never met before. I want to invite him How can I help the old man if I don't show some 'sincerity'? Besides, I never said that the secret method of armor making is 'specially' dedicated to the emperor, although before the general...I mean my husband, he wanted me to use The secret method was handed over to the emperor, but at that time my husband was being targeted by the officials, and I really had no choice, so I came up with the idea of ​​using the secret method to ask the old prince to rescue people."

The masked general was silent again.After a while, he asked again: "Did your mother never mention your biological father to you?"

No, my mother lost her memory.Zhao Yuansong thought that there might be some kind of relationship between himself and the emperor, which could be used. He said vaguely: "I seem to have said a little bit. I was too young at that time. I just remember that when I asked about my father, A Niang said He's so annoying, don't let me ask any more." Eunuch Li said that Auntie didn't like the emperor pestering her, so she eloped with Zhao Shouren.

The masked general: "..." With a crack of the whip in his hand, he turned and left the cell.

Zhao Yuansong always had a strange feeling, what the general wanted to know most was news about his aunt.After a while, someone came to let go of Zhao Yuansong's hand and took him to a clean cell. When he passed an interrogation room, he heard Xiao Dezi's cry: "My lord, please forgive me. Yes. The little one was really instigated by Concubine Jiang. Concubine Jiang was jealous of Concubine Guo's favor and wanted to scare His Highness the Ninth Prince and give Concubine Guo a warning. The assassination was fake, and it was really just to frighten His Highness a little bit! "

Oh, hehe, it turns out that the assassination was just a palace fight!But the killing intent in Xiao Dezi's eyes at that time was not fake.

Zhao Yuansong stayed in the cell for two days, and was sent out with his head covered by several masked warriors. He was warned not to tell what he saw in the dungeon, or the inspector's office would not mind spending some food and kept him locked up. to death.

Zhao Yuansong returned to Dingguo Duke's mansion for a moment, and the whole family came out to care about him. Even the little baby Jingyi said something when he saw him.

"That's all right, all right, just come back, let's all go back and rest, we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do." Duke Ding patted Deng Mian on the shoulder, and Feng Lao San and Deng Xiaohei blamed themselves a lot in the past two days.

At dawn the next day, Feng Jingde sent Xiao Wu out to invite Doctor Bai, insisting on giving him a full body checkup.Zhao Yuansong leaned on the bed and said with a bitter face: "I suddenly discovered that being locked up in the inspector's office for two days is still very good. At least I don't have to drink medicine every day, I'm about to vomit."

"Good boy, be obedient, your illness needs to be recuperated, or the root cause of the disease will fall." Feng Jingde casually handed him a new takraw ball made by Fulgen and the others.This rattan ball was made according to Zhao Yuansong's request. They added straw in the weaving process, so it has good elasticity and is very suitable for games. Zhao Yuansong wants to promote gambling in the Huanyue Building over the Nanji Market.

When Doctor Bai came over, Zhao Yuansong was still playing with the takraw ball.Doctor Bai paid attention to Zhao Yuansong's body first, and only after he found that he was fine did he notice the sepak takraw ball. "This is made of 'iron whip'. In fact, if you want to make a ball, you might as well use pork belly, which is more elastic."

"Iron whip? No, it's a vajra vine." Zhao Yuansong replied casually, his brain weighing the possibility of using pork belly as a ball.

"'Iron Whip' is Vajra Vine. It is also a kind of medicine. After being processed in a special way, it becomes 'Iron Whip'. This thing originated in the scattered areas of Xiyi people. It has anti-inflammatory and swelling effects. Later, some people saw that it is strong and reliable. Make sledges, rattan chairs, etc., and bring them back to Beixuan to plant." Doctor Bai took the rattan ball and explained after careful observation.

"Medicine? What disease can it cure?" Zhao Yuansong didn't expect to get such useful information.

"The processing methods are different, one is applied externally to treat bruises, and the other is taken internally to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding."

"Good stuff!" Zhao Yuansong jumped off the bed, looking at Feng Jingde beside him, "General, soldiers will inevitably be injured on the battlefield, can we prepare some emergency medicine for them?"

Feng Jingde looked down at him: "Most generals in the army are equipped with notoginseng powder." Sanqi is much better than "Iron Whip", at least he has never heard of "Iron Whip". Besides, there are tens of thousands of soldiers, how much does a medicine powder cost per person?

Doctor Bai nodded: "Sanqi stops bleeding and reduces inflammation faster and better, 'Iron Whip' needs to be taken for a long time."

"That's it." Zhao Yuansong was a little unwilling, he wanted to maximize the value of the Vajra Vine. "Doctor Bai, if you have time, help me to see what quick-acting medicine can be made from the Vajra Vine. It can't be used in the army, but it can be used on ordinary people."

Doctor Bai agreed and carried away several baskets of vajra vines from Zhao Yuansong.The hard work pays off. When Dr. Bai removed the tendons of the Vajra vine, he found that the fiber was soft and tough. His wife jokingly said that rubbing the rope with this thing must be more durable than the hemp rope.

Doctor Bai's heart moved, and he showed the fiber grass tendon to Zhao Yuansong. Zhao Yuansong saw it, and ideas for making money came out one by one. At that moment, he asked Gongdo to find a loom, and took Doctor Bai to Zhuangzi in the northwest suburb. Give the things to Fu Genniang and Chang Guiniang, let them try to weave a piece of cloth.

The little fatty Ninth Prince finally recovered from the fright, the high fever receded, he opened his eyes and looked at his concubine Aniang who was crying with joy, "Aniang, it was Zhao Yuansong who protected me." The little fatty still remembered that he hid himself behind him, At that moment, he felt that Zhao Yuansong, who was a circle thinner than him, seemed to be strong enough to hold up the world.

The Ninth Prince has woken up, Zhao Yuansong has been completely cleared of his crimes, and the emperor's rewards, as well as the rewards of the crown prince and Guo Guifei, have been delivered one after another.There were many people around, so Eunuch Li smiled politely at Zhao Yuansong: "Congratulations to Zhao Shishu, this is the palace walking token bestowed by the emperor, please keep it well."

Zhao Yuansong took it and found that there was a note under the token, so he quickly put it into his sleeve pocket. "Long live my emperor, thank you, father-in-law."

A set of cloth treasures were carried to Zhao Yuansong's small courtyard. Wan's behind the hanging flower door took a peek, gritted his teeth and left.The kid Jingyi, who was chasing the dog in the yard, saw her, and yelled at her aunt.Wan Shi gave him a hard look, jumped over him and went back to his yard.

The kid Jingyi cried in fright at her expression, and the servants who came over after hearing the sound coaxed her for a while.

In the 13th year of Jianping, on the 25th of March in the lunar calendar, Zhao Yuansong put on the uniform distributed by the palace and went to study with the Ninth Prince.Speaking of Zhao Yuansong's position as a servant is very embarrassing. Not to mention his lack of rank, he might as well be the tall one who accompanied him. To put it bluntly, he is a servant for the Ninth Prince. If it wasn't for his life-saving grace, the palace The father-in-laws will not have a good face when they see him.

The emperor personally sealed the imperial seal, and he could not resign yet.He wanted to hug his thighs, but with such an identity, sad or not, there was always a feeling of stealing chickens and losing money.

The Ninth Prince was quite happy to see him, so he directly interrupted Teacher Baibeard's recitation, and ran to the door to meet him, bypassing the desk. "Zhao Yuansong, you are here."

The corners of Zhao Yuansong's mouth twitched a little, and he bowed in salute: "I have seen Your Highness the Ninth Prince."

"You and I don't need to be too polite, come here, I have plum blossom cheese here, I invite you to eat." The Ninth Prince is no different from outside the palace, he is still stupid, and he doesn't care about dignity. The teacher walked away angrily. "Hehehe, he's finally gone." The Ninth Prince picked out his ears, "I've been listening to it all day, I almost fell asleep after reading it."

At this time, the accompanying reader came over and persuaded: "Your Highness, the teacher is also for your own good. He quoted scriptures and told a lot of short stories. As long as Your Highness listens carefully, you can still understand."

Zhao Yuansong raised his eyes and looked at the companion carefully. He was also chubby, with short legs, a big round face, and curved and thin eyebrows, a bit like a woman.Zhao Yuansong learned from the note that Li Gonggong sent him that this was the grandson of Shangshu Linggu's family. Although he was not a direct descendant, he still had high hopes.

The Ninth Prince laughed, imitating his teacher in a strange manner, and said slowly, "...so if you don't climb a high mountain, you don't know how high the sky is;

After reciting the entire passage, the Ninth Prince first smiled triumphantly, and then said with a bitter face: "Isn't it just for people to study hard, as for talking about so much truth? Listen to your ears!"

Gu Budu's complexion was not very good, and he mumbled for a long time before he said: "The ancients said: It's not easy to say when you learn and practice. If you don't learn, how can you know more?"

"I want to learn from you, and don't disturb us to eat." The Ninth Prince waved his hand, pulled Zhao Yuansong to sit at a table beside him, and handed him the snacks.

Zhao Yuansong thought to himself: This is another prototype of a little dandy.
