life in a hurry

This time it was indeed more cumbersome than catching ordinary snakes, but the most important thing was that the snake catcher had to be bold and careful, nothing else.

He had been studying with Wang Liu all day, so he was anxious to catch him.

Wang Liu was also anxious, and persuaded: "Master, you can practice more, just in case—"

Chen Feiqing waved his hand.He wanted to practice more, but firstly, he was almost done with practice, and secondly, he had other things to do, so he didn't want to delay any longer.

After learning, he and Wang Liu made an appointment to catch snakes at noon tomorrow, and then returned to the inn.

Fu Nansheng listened to him tell Chen Shu the essentials of catching snakes, hesitantly said: "If it's really dangerous, don't catch it."

Chen Feiqing said: "Everyone is here, arrest."

Chen Shu asked: "Is there really no way to save you from being bitten?"

Chen Feiqing said: "I don't know, Uncle Wang said it depends on fate. No, I said you two can't count on me, okay? They are too slow to hide, what am I afraid of as a Lianjiazi, don't worry, Tomorrow, Chen Shu, prepare all the medicines, and Xiao Nan, as well, we'll start after you catch him."

After dinner, Chen Feiqing wanted to go back to his room early to rest, but when he went out to fetch hot water to wash his face, he saw Fu Nansheng at the door.

Chen Feiqing smiled and said, "You need me for something?"

Fu Nansheng said, "I have something to say to you."

Chen Feiqing said: "Okay, you come in."

Fu Nansheng followed him into the house and said, "I'm still a little uneasy."

Chen Feiqing poured him a cup of tea, poured another cup for herself, and comforted her: "It's normal to be worried, but don't worry, you're fine."

Fu Nansheng said again: "I'm worried about going to Jiangnan Mansion on this trip."

Chen Feiqing was startled, moved closer, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any news?"

Fu Nansheng was amused by him instead, and said, "I seem to specialize in selling news."

Chen Feiqing also smiled: "You are much more kind, you don't charge money."

Fu Nansheng shook his head with a smile, then nodded again, and said, "There is indeed something." He stopped and looked at the door behind him.

Chen Feiqing knew that although the walls might not have ears, it was always right to be on guard, so she got up and went to the door, opened the door and looked around.

Fu Nansheng stretched out his hand to hold the tea, and his cuff brushed over Chen Feiqing's cup. There were waves on the tea, and the white powder quickly dissipated.

Fu Nansheng calmly picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.

Chen Feiqing closed the door and sat back down again. Seeing that Fu Nansheng was drinking tea, he also took a sip of tea.

Fu Nansheng watched him drink the tea, and then said slowly: "This ink corruption case is related to the country of Mo."

Chen Feiqing was startled: "What?"

Fu Nansheng said: "Even if the royal city is built in the barren land of the desert, it is far inferior to the richness of the Central Plains for thousands of years. Over the years, the desert country has only relied on plunder to maintain a prosperous life. Once they leave the plunder, they will be very sad. Yes. It’s just that the important ministers of the Mo Kingdom kept this secret, so it doesn’t seem obvious. The greed for ink this time was mainly for the relief food, but it was not sold at a high price, but was exchanged for weapons and a deal .”

Chen Feiqing asked: "What deal?"

Fu Nansheng just looked at him, smiled, and didn't speak.

Chen Feiqing thought for a while and said, "Is it related to the Yao family?"

Fu Nansheng nodded.

Chen Feiqing will know.Since it's a weapon exchange, the deal must be a big one.

He laughed back angrily: "The Yao family really believes in seeking skin from a tiger? By then, all the food will be eaten, and there is no way to deny it."

Fu Nansheng said: "The soldiers are dangerous, maybe they really understand these four words in this way."

The more Chen Feiqing thought about it, the more angry he became, and he poured another cup of tea and drank it down.

Fu Nansheng said: "So in this investigation, the Yao family will never allow you to find out his connection. Greedy ink may not be a big deal, but it has been lightly brought up in the Queen Mother's face. But it involves treason, I'm afraid It is a mother and son who will never let it go. So I am very worried that this trip will be dangerous, and they will definitely kill them."

Chen Feiqing thought for a while and said, "Thank you for telling me."

Fu Nansheng shook his head: "I said that the young master has saved my life. Even if the young master does not expect to repay the favor, I must repay it. Besides, I am not considered a traitor, because it is not the one who made the deal with the Yao family. The eldest prince is the king of the desert country."

Chen Feiqing froze for a moment, thought for a while, and became more and more surprised.He was used to it being the eldest prince who caused trouble, so he was really not used to being the king of the Mo country for a while.

Fu Nansheng said: "I just learned about this. To tell you the truth, the eldest prince has been sending people to follow us. Just now I received a signal from the eldest prince to protect you." He smiled embarrassedly, "Of course , how could I protect you, you have always been protecting me. It's just that I thought about it this way, if the eldest prince did it, why would he bother."

The more Chen Feiqing thought about it, the more confused she became, and said, "Why did he protect me?"

Fu Nansheng said: "One thing, I have been guessing, but it's just a guess, there is no real evidence."

Chen Feiqing said: "It's okay for you to say."

Fu Nansheng said: "I used to serve the eldest prince, and I was very close to him for a while—"

Hearing this, Chen Feiqing couldn't help but glance at Fu Nansheng.

Sensing his gaze, Fu Nansheng paused, and smiled awkwardly, "Master, I'm thinking about it."

Chen Feiqing hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm sorry, sorry, no, no, I didn't think about anything. That's right, I don't think the eldest prince is a good person, you know when you bully someone. I don't mean bullying, just bullying."

Fu Nansheng shook his head: "The eldest prince is very nice."

Chen Feiqing: "..."

Are you trying to lie to me that you don't know him well?The big prince in the little prince's mouth is enough to go up and down the [-]th floor of hell.

Fu Nansheng said: "It's true. The eldest prince is actually not as licentious as the rumors say, he is protecting himself. Being hostile to the little prince is also to protect the little prince."

Chen Feiqing was startled again.

Fu Nansheng said: "The relationship between him and the king of the Mo country is not close, because his mother was a captive slave and died of depression, and he was born with a different appearance from ordinary people. He was not taken seriously when he was young, and he was always bullied by the other princes of the king. .You probably never met the other princes because he killed those people."

Chen Feiqing took a sip of the tea to suppress his shock, and took another sip after drinking it. The more he drank it, the more he felt the fragrance of the tea, and he took a sip while holding the teacup.

Fu Nansheng continued: "The king has no real evidence, and maybe he never thought that it was the eldest prince who did it. No one knows. But the king is very wary of the eldest prince, and has even guarded against the little prince in these years. This is not true. Strange, there was such an example in the Central Plains, not to mention the desert. Those tribes in the desert have been less civilized since ancient times, and often father and son brothers fight each other. They only look at their strength, just like a pack of wolves. If brothers join forces, it will be a big However, in the eyes of the king, the eldest prince is a threat. In fact, the eldest prince is fledgling and can only do his best to deal with it. So he pretended to be an enemy of the Central Plains, seemingly isolated, but in fact, he and the emperor had already made an alliance .”

Chen Feiqing choked on the tea.

Fu Nansheng said, "I didn't lie to you."

Chen Feiqing said: "It's not that you lied to me...why didn't I know?"

He only knew that the Central Plains had formed an alliance with the king of the Mo country, and this was the line drawn by the little prince, while the eldest prince had always focused on destroying it.It's not that he doesn't believe Fu Nansheng, but it's too nonsense.

Fu Nansheng lowered his head and said softly: "It's normal that you don't know, the emperor may have his considerations."

Chen Feiqing endured it, and said in another sentence: "Then how do you know?"

Fu Nansheng suddenly smiled, raised his eyes to look at him, and said, "I said I guessed everything, do you believe it?"

Chen Feiqing was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said with a dry smile: "Guess? What you said just now is all guesses?"

Fu Nansheng said, "Yes."

Chen Feiqing smiled, smiled again, and waved his hands: "I thought it was true!"

Fu Nansheng said: "If I'm not [-]% sure, I won't say it. Although these are my guesses, there is nothing wrong with them. It's just that I can't say what I rely on to guess like this. I'm sorry."

Chen Feiqing waved his hand again: "It's okay, no matter what, it's nothing to talk about."

The next day, Chen Feiqing and Wang Liu met as scheduled. Wang Liu and the child held many necessary tools, and their faces were still worried.

Chen Feiqing thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Six, is there really no cure for being bitten?"

Wang Liu said in embarrassment: "I really don't know. My lord may have a cure. If we bite, we will bite, and we can still spend a lot of money to buy ginseng and antler ganoderma to eat? That money can be worth the lives of our family. No, take your time and ask the doctor in the capital before you come back? It should only take a few days to come and go, and there is nothing to delay. Wait until you are bitten and then go to the doctor, but it will be too late."

Chen Feiqing said: "There is also medicine. Before I came, a doctor gave me a bottle of antidote pills, saying that it would not save me, and there was nothing he could do if he came in person. He has said so, and there should be very few remedies." gone."

Wang Liu asked, "What kind of doctor is this?"

Chen Feiqing smiled, but didn't say it was an imperial doctor.

The three of them went up the mountain and saw the sign from afar.

Wang Liudao: "Behind the sign is the place where snakes come and go. There is a lot of realgar sprinkled at the foot of the mountain. Generally, snakes will not come out. Occasionally, when the rain dilutes the medicine, one or two will come out. Since you won't let us go up , then you go by yourself, the place with the basket on it is the snake hole, we put it specially before, so be careful."

Chen Feiqing nodded, and took the snake catching tool from the child.

The child was also very worried: "It's not worth paying more than one life."

Chen Feiqing patted him on the head and cursed with a smile: "Say something auspicious!"

The child reluctantly said: "Get rich in the New Year."

Chen Feiqing waved her hand: "Thank you for your kind words, I'm leaving."

When Chen Shu was working on herbs in the inn, he heard the commotion outside, and soon someone knocked on the door: "Guest officer, did you and Master Chen Feiqing come together?"

Chen Shu went to open the door and asked, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Before the shopkeeper could speak, a middle-aged man squeezed over and shouted, "He was bitten by a snake!"

Chen Shu's heart sank, he grabbed the man and said, "Where is he?"

The man said: "He fled down the mountain, let us send him to the county government office, and then come here to find you. We have already sent him to the county government office, the county government office—"

Chen Shu didn't wait for him to finish, and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

After finishing speaking, Chen Shufeng ran to the next door, patted the door and said, "Xiao Nan, the young master was bitten by a snake, I'll go to the county government first to have a look!"

Fu Nansheng was sitting in the next room, with a large tub in front of him, filled with hot water soaked in medicinal herbs.

He should have soaked in it for an hour first, but he didn't intend to take off his clothes and take a bath because he knew there was no need for it.

He quietly looked at the steaming bathtub, and suddenly remembered that a long, long time ago, someone died in the bathtub.

So he doesn't like bathtubs very much.

But Chen Feiqing didn't know, and asked him to soak in it for an hour.

Chen Feiqing knew that Qin Zhengwen would get carsick and that Qin Zhengwen liked to eat sour food, so why didn't he know that Fu Nansheng didn't like soaking in the bathtub?

Probably because Qin Zhengwen is innocent, and Chen Feiqing is also innocent.

Fu Nansheng stretched his sleeves and looked at his arms, and he was very innocent.

He raised his hand and smelled it, and it was still fragrant.

Why is he not worthy.
