[Comprehensive] leaning on flowers and bamboo

Gongsun Ce opened his eyes, stretched, yawned and looked at Hua Manlou who was on the other bed. Just as he was about to turn over, something fell from him.

Gongsun Ce stared blankly at the thing that fell on the ground, jumped off the bed and picked it up—how ​​could the burden be on him?Didn't you put it on the cabinet over there before going to bed last night?

When he was thinking about why the baggage flew to him, a pair of feet suddenly appeared in his vision, Gongsun Ce looked up, "Our room came in last night, and the baggage came to me from the cabinet, but why didn't the other party take the things? How about leaving? There is nothing missing in the baggage.”

"kindness."

"I came here and didn't take anything away. What is the reason?"

After pondering for a moment, seeing Hua Manlou dressed and tied his hair, his eyes glanced at the fan placed aside, Gongsun Ce smiled confidently, and stood up with his bundle in his hand, "I see, why did the other party fail to take the bag when he came in?" The burden is taken away, because someone has already discovered that the thief came in before the other party took the burden."

Hua Manlou paused while he was tying his clothes, and said, "How do you know?"

"This question is too simple. Do you think I am a three-year-old child? I remember that before you fell asleep last night, the fan was placed on the left side and it was closed. Just now, the fan was on your bedside, and the fan was opened. You have used this fan before, but after blowing out the lamp, you will not use the fan for no reason. It can only be said that a thief came in, and you used the fan to block the other party's stealing behavior. This can also explain why the burden is not on the cabinet but On my bed." After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows, and when he saw the expression on Hua Manlou's face that he had expected, he turned around and picked up his clothes and put them on, "rest here It's late, and I can reach the capital at night."

"Should be there."

"You have never been here, how do you know you can come?"

"When I entered the city yesterday, there were traders from the capital here. When they were talking, I heard them."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce was stunned, stared at Huamanlou for a while, then carried his burden on his back, and strode out, "Just listen to everything with your ears."

Hua Manlou was taken aback by the sudden temper, then smiled and followed with her own baggage.

This Gongsun Ce is really duplicity and... young and vigorous.

The prosperity of the capital is far more lively than Huamanlou imagined. I didn’t expect it to be so lively at this time. My ears are full of the voices of people talking on the street, the hawkers’ cries, and vivid storytelling. Leisurely, like strolling in the garden.

Standing on the street, Gongsun Ce suddenly thought of something, quickly waved his fan to cover his face, looked left and right, pulled Huamanlou and said, "Let's go to Doctor Lu first."

"kindness."

Hua Manlou didn't know why Gongsun Ce suddenly became a little cautious, as if he was hiding something.

Thinking of the previous conversation between Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao, Hua Manlou frowned—could it be that Gongsun Ce and the others had some enemies in the capital?

Hidden and cautious, he came to Miracle Doctor Lu's clinic. Gongsun Ce went in, and when he saw Miracle Doctor Lu, he politely saluted and said, "Your junior has seen Miracle Doctor Lu, so I dare to visit you. Please—"

"So it's Gongsun Ce. I haven't seen you for more than half a year. It seems that you are doing well. You almost lost your life last time. Are you still here this time?"

"Miraculous doctor Lu was joking. I am here this time to find you."

Miracle Doctor Lu raised his eyebrows in surprise, put down the pen in his hand, and looked over Gongsun Ce's shoulder to Hua Manlou behind him, and said, "If you have something to ask me, it seems that it's not a good thing for you to come to me. A young master here? However, I can’t cure his illness, his eyes can’t be cured anymore, please ask someone else.”

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce looked at Miracle Doctor Lu in surprise, and then at Huamanlou.

Hua Manlou also never expected that this miracle doctor Lu could see through his own blindness at a glance. He traveled the rivers and lakes and experienced many storms with Lu Xiaofeng. It was the first time he met someone who could tell at a glance that he was not very human .

Back then even Lu Xiaofeng doubted whether he was really blind.

"Miraculous doctor Lu, this time he came here not for my business, but because of Gongsun Ce." Hua Manlou cupped his hands and said, "His eyes have been a little blurry recently."

What Hua Manlou said caused Gongsun Ce to roll his eyes, "I want you to be troublesome."

Facing Gongsun Ce's childlike words, Hua Manlou ignored them, and just continued: "The magic doctor Lu took his pulse, is it just due to exhaustion?"

Lu Ming nodded, and looked at Huamanlou appreciatively, "Gongsun Ce, your friend is much more polite than your friends who came here before? Who used to yell every time they came, I am too old to stand up to the yelling of you young people."

"Uh……"

"However, Miss Pang San has promised the young master, don't you know?"

"Feiyan?"

"kindness."

Hua Manlou heard the clues from the conversation that ended.

Gongsun Ce remained silent, a look of desolation flashed across his face, then he thought of something and returned to normal, saying, "Thank you for the genius doctor."

"Stretch out your hand." Miracle doctor Lu stroked his beard and glanced at Gongsun Ce's eyes, "She came here yesterday, and she looks the same as before." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to check Gongsun Ce's eyes, shaking Shaking his head, he withdrew his hand.

Hua Manlou caught the slight sigh, and his brows moved closer unconsciously. He could only rely on listening, and Gongsun Ce got the answer he wanted from Lu Ming's face immediately.

After seeing so many medical skills, I have already expected the result, but I still don't give up and want to come here to have a look.

"Thank you Miracle Doctor Lu, Gongsun Ce understands."

"I have a prescription here, it may be useful for you to take it."

"……Yes."

Hua Manlou stood on one side, and when Gongsun Ce passed by him, he almost forgot his existence, but Hua Manlou turned around to face Lu Ming's direction and handed over to catch up with Gongsun Ce.

"Gongsun Ce!"

"What's the matter? Let's go back to the inn and wait for Bao Zheng. They know that I will wait for them here. I came to the capital not only to visit Dr. Lu, but because the emperor summoned me." After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he tightened his hand holding the prescription, Taking a deep breath, "Before you go blind, you must do at least one thing."

Walking side by side with Gongsun Ce, flowers filled the corridor: "Even if you can't see it, you won't lose your whole life because of it."

"Is this your life?"

"If you've been obsessed with the fact that you're about to lose sight, even if you can see it, you won't be able to see it." Hua Manlou's words made Gongsun Ce feel a little harsh.

Can't see?He couldn't see, how could he beat Bao Zheng?He had inquired about this case a long time ago. This time, he would definitely find the murderer before Bao Zheng.

Hua Manlou beside him shook his head - Gongsun Ce shouldn't be like this.

The two of them returned to the inn without making a sound. As soon as they arrived in the lobby of the inn, they heard the familiar 'Brother Gongsun'.

Zhan Zhao had already arrived at some point, Hua Manlou and Gongsun Ce raised their heads towards the voice at the same time, Gongsun Ce stepped forward, rubbed Zhan Zhao's little bald head and said, "You little bald head, you came so slowly , Is it because of that piece of black charcoal?"

"Hey, hey, I said Gongsun Ce, you are wrong, how can you slander me behind your back? Although I am indeed like black charcoal, it is wrong for you to say that as a friend."

Bao Zheng came out of nowhere with the bundle in his hand, and said with a smile, "What are you two doing out there? Just now we were asking the manager of the inn, what were you doing out there?"

"Brother Bao, I don't know, it's my first time in the capital, so Gongsun Ce took me around."

Gongsun Ce nodded in a daze, "I'll take him around, by the way, I won't go to the palace later, I have other things to do."

"Ah? You're not going with me?"

"kindness."

"Gongsun Ce, are you—"

"Bao Zheng, let's see which of us solves the case first this time, I will definitely win you."

Hearing this, Bao Zheng looked at Zhan Zhao in embarrassment, and muttered, "I've surrendered to you a long time ago, when will it be..."

"This time, I want to compete with you openly."

After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he let go of Zhang Zhao, patted his shoulder and walked upstairs.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce, and finally turned to Hua Manlou who asked for help, "Brother Hua, what do you think is wrong with my brother Gongsun? How could he be like this? He didn't do it before...Is it Bao Bao?" Brother made him angry?"

"Don't worry, I'll look at him, you go ahead and face the saint in the palace."

"...Uh, I'll trouble you then."

Bao Zheng looked at the back of Huamanlou going upstairs, pulled Zhan Zhao out of the inn, and found out after walking for a while, bent down to look at Zhan Zhao and said, "Quickly tell me honestly, what is the origin of that Huamanlou? , isn’t your big brother Gongsun in danger, let’s go back and save Gongsun Ce, oh no, I don’t know martial arts, Zhan Zhao you go!”

Zhan Zhao spread his hands, "Brother Bao, Brother Hua is not such a person, don't be so surprised, let's go to the palace quickly, the emperor is waiting for us!"

"That's right, he doesn't look like a bad guy either, okay, let's enter the palace!"

Hua Manlou walked to the door of Gongsun Ce's room, raised his hand and knocked on the door after hesitating, "They have entered the palace."

"Come in."

"Are you angry with yourself or with Bao Zheng?"

As soon as Hua Manlou entered the door, he asked, "I guess you are making things difficult for yourself. You would be angry if Bao Zheng were anyone else, so you are not targeting Bao Zheng, you are just angry with yourself, full of poems." Books, rich in learning, asking yourself if you don’t need Bao Zheng to be poor, but every time you are a little bit worse, so you are angry.”

Gongsun Ce packed up his things and said, "I'll go to King Xiangyang's place later, you're in the inn, if you need anything, just call Xiaoer."

"Prince Xiangyang?"

"This time, King Sanlian and King Xiangyang are investigating respectively. King Sanlian is biased towards the emperor, and Bao Zheng is doing things for them. If I want to compete with him, I must rely on King Xiangyang." After finishing speaking, Gongsun Ceshen said A lazily looking at Huamanlou with confidence, "I will definitely solve the riddle this time before Bao Zheng."

Hua Manlou shook his head, "Gongsun Ce, you can no longer see."

Winning or losing is too important, and the desire to win will cause the details that should have been discovered to be ignored, and the truth will be covered up.

Ignoring Huamanlou, Gongsun Ce straightened his clothes and went out.

Stepping out of the inn, Gongsun Ce took a deep breath.

This time, he will not lose. Before he loses sight, he will have a real contest with Bao Zheng.

After Gongsun Ce left that day, Hua Manlou waited in the inn for five days, but Gongsun Ce did not show up.

"This son, your friend, I'm afraid they won't show up."

"what?"

"It is said that the case has been solved. The king of Xiangyang gave the young master who solved the case an inscription. The emperor wrote the inscription himself - the most intelligent man in the world. He will flourish in the future. I'm afraid I won't remember you." Xiao Er put it down after finishing speaking. The food in hand was returned.

Hua Manlou was stunned when he heard the words, feeling uneasy—Gongsun Ce really solved the case?

At night, Huamanlou was about to fall asleep when someone knocked on the door.

"Young master, someone sent you a letter."

"...Thank you."

After receiving the letter, Hua Manlou opened the letter based on his feeling. As soon as his fingertips touched the letter, he knew that the writer of the letter must have known about his blindness, because this person wrote very hard, and he used his sense of touch to open the letter. Can identify what the word is.

——Outside Gongsun Ce Inn.

Hua Manlou called to stop Xiaoer just now, "Little brother, can you go outside the inn with me and bring my friend in, he has suffered some injuries, but this matter cannot be let others know, it's just a kind gesture " Hua Manlou handed over the broken silver in his hand, cupped his hands and said: "I'm afraid he is seriously injured, so we can't delay."

"Don't dare to be, you just follow me."

Hua Manlou and Xiao Er went downstairs together and opened the door of the inn. Gongsun Ce was thrown on the ground with a wound on his forehead, drenched to the ground and unconscious.

Xiao Er was taken aback, and quickly said: "Isn't this the Gongsun Gongzi who is still talked about by people in the daytime?"

"Little brother, help me carry him upstairs, it's inconvenient for me to be alone."

"Hey?"

"I'm afraid I can't see it, so let him knock it somewhere else."

Xiao Er was completely stunned, "So you... can't see it."

Hearing this, Hua Manlou smiled, "It's true that I can't see it, but it's the same as seeing it, as long as the heart can see it."

Xiaoer rubbed his head, and helped Huamanlou carry Gongsun Ce upstairs, "What you said is too profound, and I don't understand it, but seeing how you live freely, all the blind people in the world have to learn from you. There are not many people like this, and once most people are blind, they are also blind in their hearts."

"Blindness is the saddest thing."

Putting Gongsun Ce on the bed, Hua Manlou thanked Xiaoer and asked him to bring another pot of hot water, so that he could stop busy.

Xiao Er was also warm-hearted, brought a pot of hot water, and brought hot soup and steamed buns for the two of them, "Call me if you need anything. I'll be on duty tonight."

"Thank you."

Huamanlou heard the sound of Xiaoer closing the door, so he reached out to feel the temperature of Gongsun Ce's forehead, groped to find the wound on his forehead, relaxed his movements, wrung out the handkerchief sideways, and wiped the bruise on Huamanlou's face. Wipe off the water mixed with blood.It was all moist within reach, Hua Manlou shook his head helplessly.

Stretching out his hand to Gongsun Ce's cheek, the scorching temperature suddenly realized that he couldn't take care of Gongsun Ce like this.

After struggling to change clothes for Gongsun Ce, Hua Manlou went downstairs with Gongsun Ce on his back.

Xiao Er saw that Hua Manlou was carrying Gongsun Ce on his back, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Isn't Mr. Gongsun seriously ill?"

"Well, I'll take him to the hospital."

After finishing speaking, Huamanlou was about to go out, Xiao Er grabbed Huamanlou and stuffed an umbrella into his hand, "It's raining outside."

Hua Manlou was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Thank you."
