When the news reached Xue Yunqing's ears, Yan Guanyu was watching him play chess with the genius doctor. While adhering to the principle of "watching chess and not talking to a real gentleman", she kept silent while looking at him unscrupulously, sometimes admiring his handsome and fair side face, sometimes admiring He held his slender fingers, and sometimes admired the subtle changes in his expression as he frowned and thought, endlessly.

Ever since the genius doctor was invited, Yan Guanyu took the opportunity to enter the hall and occupied a room in the small courtyard of Xue Yunqing's house day and night. Being so presumptuous, I finally couldn't bear it anymore, picked up a chess piece and threw it at him, the position was impartial, and it hit his numb hole.

Yan Guanyu was in extreme pain for a moment, and after the numbness in his body passed away, he immediately jumped up from the stool: "You murdered your own husband?!"

Embarrassed and annoyed, Xue Yunqing gave him a hard look.

The miracle doctor on the opposite side stroked his beard and laughed, obviously he was used to the way the two of them got along.

Yan Guanyu mobilized everyone to invite the genius doctor to come over. Naturally, he had already explained Xue Yunqing's situation and his own intentions clearly. After the genius doctor came, he never mentioned the matter of leg treatment. The one who lived in seclusion in Qingzhou didn't think about himself, but the two got along quite well in terms of medical skills, and the genius doctor wanted to accept him as a disciple, so he couldn't wish for it, but they hit it off right away and formally confirmed the status of master and apprentice.

Xue Yunqing felt uncomfortable being laughed at by his master, and was thinking of saying something to relieve the embarrassment, when a servant from the porter came to deliver a letter, he quickly took out the letter and unfolded it.

Seeing his frown, Yan Guanyu quickly suppressed his giggling smile, leaned over and asked in concern, "What's wrong?"

Xue Yunqing glanced at him with a complicated expression, thinking that his anger towards him had dissipated a lot for a while, so he silently handed the letter into his hand.

The letter was written by Xue Yunzhou, and the content was very concise. It just intercepted the part of the secret report where King Jin woke up. After reading it, Yan Guanyu's face darkened immediately, a little unbelievable: "How is it possible?"

Xue Yunqing frowned and thought for a while, then turned the wheelchair and moved to the desk on the other side, picked up a pen and quickly wrote down a list of formulas on the paper, turned around and handed them to the genius doctor, and asked, "Can master dissolve this poison?"

The genius doctor took the formula and looked at it carefully for a while, then raised his eyes and looked at Xue Yunqing with a stern look: "Is this the poison you made?"

Xue Yunqing looked indifferent: "Yes."

The genius doctor frowned, and wanted to teach him a lesson, but when he thought of his encounter with Yan Guanyu, he sighed helplessly, finally shook his head, and said earnestly: "As a doctor, one should be kind to the world, and poison is crooked. It can take people's lives, and it can also eat away at one's own soul. The world is really messed up now, and it's understandable for you to use this method, but you have to remember that as a doctor, you still have to stick to the right way after all, otherwise sooner or later You will lose yourself and ruin your future.”

Although Xue Yunqing had a bit of a sharp temper, he respected this master from the bottom of his heart, and it was rare to listen to his words. After a moment of silence with downcast eyes, he solemnly said: "Don't worry, master, my vengeance will be avenged. It's solved, I just want to live a good life with my mother from now on, and it won't harm anyone's heart. This poison was prepared ten years ago, and I haven't touched it since I came to Qingzhou."

"I can testify! He gave me all the poison!" Yan Guanyu immediately moved to Xue Yunqing's side, and looked at him with some sorrow, "But you want to live a good life, why didn't you bring me?"

Seeing that he recovered so quickly, Xue Yunqing couldn't help being stunned.

The genius doctor wanted to laugh and sigh at the same time, he pointed Yan Guanyu helplessly, and then looked at Xue Yunqing: "It is true that I have taken in a smart apprentice for being able to achieve such accomplishments ten years ago." He stroked his beard and paused Pause, back to the topic, "The most powerful thing about this poison is that there are many kinds of medicinal materials and complex proportions. I read your formula, but I can't think of an absolutely correct way to detoxify it for a while. It is almost impossible to detoxify the prepared poison, even if someone is lucky enough to concoct the antidote after hundreds of thousands of attempts, it will be too late to save people, at most one living dead can be saved.”

Xue Yunqing frowned: "That's strange, how did King Jin wake up?"

Yan Guanyu stood up slowly, sighed and stretched: "Oh! I don't want to be lazy with you, I have to go to Yanwang Mansion to take up my post."

He originally thought about going to the capital alone to explore the bottom line, but thinking of the current strength of King Yan's Mansion, he felt that it would be better to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade. King Yan's Mansion has placed so many eyeliners in the capital, and any news will be sent back in time. He rushed over and fumbled wildly.

Within a few days, news came from Beijing and China one after another.

First, after Jin Wang woke up, he said that he would stay in the capital to continue recuperating, and then he called his son to serve the sick. For a while, the dragons in Ningzhou had no leader. Emperor He Zhen sent a Ningzhou governor to go, and Ningzhou exploded.

Ningzhou is the fiefdom of the King of Jin, and it has always been self-governing. Now the emperor took advantage of the emptiness of Ningzhou and sent a court official there by surprise. Fan's horn, once the governor of Ningzhou takes control of the local military and political power, cutting down Fan is nothing more than adding an edict.

What's strange is that King Jin didn't have any objection to the court's decision. He not only asked his son to stay in the capital and not go back, but also restrained his subordinates from acting rashly. This is really incredible.

Immediately after Ningzhou, the imperial court sent several governors respectively, and one of them, Mr. Gong, came to Qingzhou with the emperor's will, and his purpose was self-evident.

Not long after Mr. Gong was on the road, He Yuan got the news. He announced the matter during the political discussion, and it was no surprise that he received a lot of cursing and boycotting. The folk customs of Qingzhou are open, and even the officials here are rough. I heard that the emperor who never cared about the life and death of the people in Qingzhou was going to come to pick peaches to get ready-made benefits when Qingzhou was on the road to wealth. These officials rolled up their sleeves and spit on the spot. , Horrible.

This also shows that King Yan's Mansion has won the hearts of the people, and He Yuan is very satisfied with this, and only starts to discuss countermeasures after everyone has calmed down after scolding enough.

More than a month later, Lord Gong, the newly appointed governor of Qingzhou, appeared in Qingzhou City and was stopped outside the city gate.

Although He Yuan is now deeply loved by the people of Qingzhou, his reputation in the capital has never been washed away. The regent was famous in those days, and this Lord Gong naturally knew it very well. When he was appointed, he secretly complained about his bad luck. I have always been beating drums on the road since then, and now I was stopped by the soldiers at the city gate, and my uneasy heart suddenly fell into place because the thing I had been worried about for a long time finally happened: I guessed right, something will happen, that's right !

Mr. Gong was trembling in his heart, but he still wanted to maintain a bit of dignity on his face, he frowned unnaturally, asked his attendant to take out his letter of appointment, and snorted coldly.

The attendant shouted loudly: "It's unreasonable! Lord Gong is the governor of Qingzhou personally ordered by the emperor, and he came to assist King Yan in governing Qingzhou. How can you be stopped outside the city gate by you, a yellow-haired boy! Open your eyes and see, this is an imperial decree! "

The soldiers at the city gate exchanged glances with each other, and immediately changed their faces. First, they bowed to the imperial decree, and then bowed their heads and apologized to Mr. Gong.

Master Gong's expression softened a little, and he said reservedly: "Well, those who don't know are innocent. Now that you know the identity of the official, then open the city gate quickly."

A soldier nodded again and again: "Master Gong, please rest assured, the prince has already prepared everything for Mr. Gong when he got the news, Mr. Gong, please come in."

After the words fell, the city gate opened slowly with a muffled sound, and then the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded, and two rows of light cavalry rushed out like lightning, and quickly surrounded Mr. Gong and his party. With a hulking back and a fierce look on his face, he looked like a Rakshasa who had just returned from a bloodbath on the battlefield, with the smell of blood rushing towards his face.

Mr. Gong was startled by this battle, his complexion turned pale and his legs became weak, and he no longer cared about acting, he forced himself to shake his voice and shouted harshly: "What's going on? Can't you murder the imperial court official? Yan Is the king asking you to treat the emperor's orders like this? Is there any other law?!"

The soldier at the city gate hastily apologized with a smile: "Lord Gong misunderstood! Misunderstood! The lord heard that the lord is alive, and wished to come out to meet him in person. However, the lord had a lot of business and couldn't come in person, so he specially ordered the younger ones to entertain the lord. Your lord I don't know, it's the time when Tuli from the north goes south to hunt grass valleys. Those Tuli barbarians are burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes. They are extremely ferocious. No, the whole city is now under martial law, and anyone who passes through the city gate will be strictly interrogated. Worried that there are Tuli secret agents lurking inside and outside the city of Qingzhou, threatening the lives of the people at any time, and even more worried about those secret agents who will assassinate your lord, so they specially selected outstanding talents from the barracks to accompany you to protect your safety. My lord, from now on, they It is your followers, wherever you go, they will follow you, with them, not to mention the subtlety, even flies and mosquitoes will never want to break in."

Mr. Gong's face was cramped when he heard it, and he almost jumped up: All these people are staring at me like kings of hell, are they really here to take my life?Protect?Believe me, there will be ghosts!This King Yan is really not a thing!But now that people are under the roof, what should we do?what to do?

Mr. Gong was very anxious, but the soldier at the city gate was always smiling: "Mr. Gong, the gate of the city has been opened, please come in!"

Master Gong looked at the wide open city gate, and felt that it was the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast. It seemed that once he entered, he would be torn to pieces and eaten to pieces.

The soldier at the city gate spoke again: "Lord Gong, please come in, the prince is waiting for you."

Suddenly hearing He Yuan's name, Master Gong was shocked, gritted his teeth, and ordered to his followers as if he was heroic: "Go to the city!"

Mr. Gong, who had never been to Qingzhou, was quickly stunned by the bustling and bustling city. Although he had made preparations before coming, he also faintly felt a sense of vitality on the way here, but understanding was far worse than intuitive feeling, and the scene outside the city was also It was far less impactful than inside the city. Suddenly seeing the desolate and backward border city in his impression develop into this, he thought he had gone to the wrong place.

Today's Qingzhou City is divided into inner and outer layers. The business area, residential area, and administrative area are clearly divided. Everywhere is full of people coming and going, lively and orderly. Seeing Mr. Gong and his group walking past, everyone is most curious. With two eyes, he quickly turned back to his own business, obviously making money is much more important than gossip.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Mr. Gong walked through most of the city, and he was so angry that he cursed his mother: This city is so peaceful, how does it look like a Tuli Mao thief?Be an official fool!There is also a circle of Rakshasa guards around him, all staring at the copper bell eyes, wishing to eat this official, where are they here to protect this official?It was clearly a kidnapping!Yan Wang is simply too deceitful!

But no matter how angry he was in his heart, he didn't dare to swear, and he had to maintain a calm face, and even put on a warm, respectful and appropriate smile after entering Yan Wang's mansion.

There is no way, even if he is really a powerful feudal official, he can only kneel down and salute obediently in front of the royal family, not to mention that he only bears the title of governor, but in fact he is nothing, and he is about to face But it was the regent who once overshadowed the sky with one hand, and now the king of Yan who is still very capable.

He Yuan didn't meet him right away, he just sent someone to say "wait a moment", and let him hang out for an hour. When he finished drinking a pot of tea and couldn't hold back his urination and wanted to clean the room, Xue Yunzhou came out see him.

"It's rude to keep Mr. Gong waiting for a long time. After entering the city, you must have seen that Qingzhou is not what it used to be. There are so many things. The prince sits here and is very busy, but he has already said, Please let me treat you well, my lord will be here later." Xue Yunzhou greeted him with a smile, and then ordered people to serve wine and food, all with great enthusiasm.

Mr. Gong hurriedly got up and saluted. Although he was afraid of He Yuan, the one who could be selected by the emperor as a member of the party must not be a generation of rich people, and he would not rush towards Qingzhou as soon as he received the imperial edict. In order to know himself and the enemy, he Before leaving, he had learned about the situation in Qingzhou, and naturally he had done some homework on Xue Yunzhou. Knowing that this princess who lost her natal family was highly valued by the King of Yan, and her status in Qingzhou was very high, he naturally did not dare to neglect or treat Xue Yunzhou in any way. disrespectful.

Xue Yunzhou exchanged pleasantries with him for a long time, and he took a few dignified officials to accompany him. Mr. Gong finally felt better, but there was one thing he couldn't bear: he wanted to clean the room.

When he was full of wine and food, He Yuan finally showed up, saying that he had just returned from the camp.

Master Gong was so suffocated that his face turned green, and seeing He Yuan's expressionless face, he felt more anxious to urinate under the tension, and could no longer hold it back, so he had to plead guilty and leave temporarily.

As soon as he left, Xue Yunzhou couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I added some colorless and tasteless diuretics to the tea served to Mr. Gong before. Later, when the time was almost up, Xue Yunzhou and a group of officials took turns to go to battle again. They were so enthusiastic that they did not give Mr. Gong a chance to speak. Now that He Yuan is back. Finally let him go.

However, although Mr. Gong is also an old bureaucrat who has been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades, but the strong dragon does not overwhelm the top snake, he must be cautious on the first day here. Pee on your pants.

After he walked out of the clean room refreshed, He Yuan disappeared again.

Xue Yunzhou opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Just now I came to report that a Tuli spy was caught. The prince can't wait for Mr. Gong to come out, so he went to take care of it first. Qingzhou is not safe recently, Mr. Gong must be careful!"

Master Gong had blue veins on his forehead, he laughed and said: "With the protection of the elite soldiers under the prince's command, the subordinate officials are safe and sound, so they will be able to sit back and relax."

Xue Yunzhou also laughed: "That's good, that's good."

Master Gong didn't see He Yuan back when it was dark, so he left in a rage. Xue Yunzhou arranged for the people below to take him to settle down, and gave him a basketful of polite words.

As a result, his words were polite, but his actions were not polite at all. Master Gong has completely lost his freedom since he entered Qingzhou City. No matter where he wants to go, the guards will swarm him, saying that it is dangerous outside, so don't go out, etc., with absolute strength If he was stopped, he would go back and forth under surveillance at two o'clock and one line apart from his rest and work, which was almost equivalent to being under house arrest. As for the letter to the capital, no one had to guess that he would be intercepted.

If it was Qingzhou a few years ago, Mr. Gong might still have a chance to stretch out his hand to stir it up here, but now, Qingzhou is already monolithic, and it is not easy to stretch out his fists, and he was tied up before he stretched out his hand Living.

Mr. Gong was so angry that he hurt internally, and felt that his official career was almost over.

Just as Mr. Gong was racking his brains to think about how to save his official career, another unexpected visitor came to Qingzhou.

He Yuan was a little surprised when he heard the news, raised his eyebrows calmly, raised his head and said, "Lou Yongnian? Where is he now?"

The people below replied: "I just entered the city and found an inn to settle down. Lou Yongnian didn't come alone, he also brought his parents with him. Someone in the inn already recognized him and started talking to him on the spot."

Bringing my parents over...it's worth pondering.

He Yuan asked again: "Has anyone asked him where he has been all these years? How did he get back?"

"Someone did ask. He said that his parents were ill. He went home to fulfill his filial piety. When those people saw that he brought his parents with him, they all believed his words. In addition, he didn't talk too much with people. , just said that the parents are tired and need to rest, and they will go back to the room soon."

Being able to say these words at least shows that he is not a bad person, He Yuan nodded: "Understood, continue to pay attention."

Not long after that, Lou Yongnian came to the door to hand over the card, and He Yuan happened to be at home, so he met him in person.

After a few years, although Lou Yongnian still has the same demeanor, but if you look closely, you can still find that his face has aged a lot, and his figure has also lost a lot of weight. It must have been a bad few years.

He Yuan ordered someone to serve tea: "Mr. Lou, don't come here and be safe."

After seeing the ceremony, Lou Yongnian got straight to the point: "Lou came here this time because I really... have an unfeeling request." Although his waist was straight, his expression no longer had the arrogance he had before.

He Yuan is not a person who likes to go around in circles, so he immediately asked, "I don't know what Mr. Lou is doing?"

Lou Yongnian's face showed a bit of embarrassment: "Lou and his parents are being chased and killed now, and there is really nowhere to go. This time, I came to Qingzhou to ask Yan Wang's mansion to give me protection based on the old love. Lou is grateful. Endless."

The relationship between them in the past is very reluctant to say, but they settled the dispute peacefully at the beginning, and they did not tear their skins. In a sense, it is indeed a relationship. He Yuan smiled lightly, leaning on the back of the chair to watch Looking at him: "Mr. Lou, do you still have something to say? The world is so big, there is no place for you, why did you hide here with me? There is no convincing reason, so I may not be able to help you with this job." , after all, you wanted to empty Qingzhou back then, and almost left me with an empty shell, so there is no harmony between you and me."

Perhaps Lou Yongnian was prepared to be embarrassed before he came here, or perhaps he was tortured and arrogant in the past few years. He didn't show much embarrassment after hearing these words. He just lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, as if thinking about it , Finally exhaled a foul breath, and replied: "To be honest, the person who chased and killed my family of three was King Jin."

He Yuan was a little surprised: "King Jin? At the beginning he let you go generously, but now he sent people to hunt you down? Hunting?"

Lou Yongnian sighed, unable to hide his exhaustion: "The king of Jin did let me go back then, but now I don't know who listened to someone's slander, or because of other reasons, he suddenly sent someone to chase and kill me. It is obviously to put me and my parents to death, we fled all the way, no matter where we hide, we will be found out, after many times of life and death, after much deliberation, now only Qingzhou can avoid it." He raised his head with a sincere expression, "Lou has such a humble life, death is not a pity, but my parents gave birth to me and raised me, their kindness is greater than heaven, I can't let them be implicated by me, and innocent people suffer, I also ask the prince to help, Lou is very grateful!"

He Yuan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Why should I help you?"

Lou Yongnian choked. He really had no position to seek the protection of Prince Yan's mansion, but now the only one who can contend with King Jin is King Yan. He had been lurking in Qingzhou for many years for King Jin in his early years, and he was already unfilial to his parents. , he can't be unfilial again, can't just sit and wait for death, the fate of his parents is the biggest and last concern in his life.

He Yuan saw that he seemed to be hesitating, so he didn't urge him, and looked at the documents on the desk by himself.

Lou Yongnian knew that he had no way out, thought for a moment, opened his robe and knelt on the ground: "As long as the prince is willing to take in Lou's parents, and Lou is willing to work for the prince, even if he dies immediately, he will have no problem!"

He Yuan raised his head to look at him, with a smile that was not a smile: "You have paid so much for King Jin, and your loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon. Now you have no choice but to come to my Yan Palace. Do you think I will trust you?"

Lou Yongnian gritted his teeth and took a deep breath: "Prince Jin is not kind to me, and I don't need to be loyal to him anymore."

He Yuan lowered his head and continued to read the documents.

Lou Yongnian said again: "My lord... was unable to have a smooth intercourse back then, it was the poison of King Jin."

He Yuan paused for a moment, and a sentence from Xue Yunzhou before suddenly popped up in his mind: The prince's intercourse is not going well.

"Well, what else?" He Yuan held back a smile, and continued to ask in a neutral manner.

Lou Yongnian knew that he was not easy to fool, so he just poured beans into the bamboo tube and said carefully: "When the first emperor, the king of Jin, and the prince were still princes, the prince was not established, and they fought openly and secretly. Incompetent and unbearable, and afraid that you, the prince, are the most favored and behave perversely, so you secretly poisoned both the late emperor and the prince."
