Dragon Pattern Roll Set
Chapter 67 [Desperate Flower]
That idiot Tong Dabao was suddenly taken away by Zhan Zhao, and Gongsun took out a knife and cut open his finger, bleeding some blood out, causing Monk Zhang Er to be puzzled.
Gongsun fiddled with bottles and cans for a long time, and said to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "The guess is right, Tong Dabao's blood can indeed detoxify the poison of drunken flowers."
Zhan Zhao frowned after hearing this, "As expected, how many people can be saved by one person's blood? It seems that Empress Peach Blossom only left Tong Dabao as an antidote, and she wanted to kill quite a few people."
"What about after that?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Now the other party thinks that Zhao Pu is dead and Zhao Yuanzuo has also entered the palace. He probably came here to make a final test. In other words, they may start soon."
"We have to see the right timing. Tong Dabao may be the key. Once it's too early or too late, the other party may see the flaws and fall short!" Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang folded his arms and lowered his head, and lightly touched his elbow. He, "What the hell did you come up with?"
Bai Yutang smiled faintly, "You know it's a ghost idea? Maybe it's a good idea."
Seeing his complacency, Zhan Zhao leaned over, "What's your idea?"
Bai Yutang lowered his head and whispered a few words in his ear.
Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin and raised his head, "This trick...is a little bit damaged, but it's doable."
"What's missing?"
Zhao Pu, who had nothing to do and was "in confinement", came over at some point, holding his little four son to "relax boredom".
The fourth son opened his eyes wide and looked curiously at Zhan Zhao and then at Bai Yutang.
Just now Zhao Pu hugged the fourth son to make trouble with Gongsun, Gongsun pushed him away like a man, and said, "Go, coax the child while you go, don't make trouble."
The shadow guards all sniggered aside.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Pu like that, hugging the baby of the fourth child, they really looked like nanny.
……
"Cough cough." Zhan Zhao coughed and said it to Zhao Pu again.
Zhao Pu raised his mouth and patted Bai Yutang's shoulder, "Good plan!"
After finishing speaking, seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang raise their eyebrows, he added, "But it's not enough damage!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned, "Do you want more damage?"
Zhao Pu smiled, "Of course!"
……
Putting aside everyone in Kaifeng Mansion to prepare separately, let's talk about the palace.
After the court was over, Zhao Zhen hurried to the backyard. As he walked, he felt that something was not right today.
how to say?Why do those masters who often follow him look so energetic today?One or two held their heads high, more powerful and confident than usual.
Zhao Zhen was a little puzzled, but he didn't know that Yin Hou had been idle all morning, and went to the Imperial Garden to drink a bottle of imperial wine. After drinking it, he was happy. He walked around the yard and gave the dozen or so experts One person pointed out a sentence... and then the group of masters was reborn.
Zhao Zhen stepped into the imperial garden, and saw Yin Hou sitting cross-legged on a soft couch, with his chin resting on one hand, teasing a white cat squatting on the armrest.
This cat is a newborn kitten, raised by Concubine Pang and sent from Persia. It has pure white long hair, one eye is blue and the other is green, short legs, short body, and a big tail like a feather duster. Yes, the character is docile and clingy, very, very cute.The kittens were just born a few months ago. There are three kittens in total. This one is the boldest. The other two are in the nest, but this one has already run around.
At this moment, I saw Yin Hou holding a few shredded fish for wine in his hand, teasing it.
The kitten sat in front of him, rubbing its head against his palm, especially obedient.
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a while—he had naturally heard the name of Marquis Yin, and the name of the Demon Palace was even more impressive.The so-called Demon Palace, simply put, is a place where three hundred of the worst demons with the highest martial arts gathered in the current world.And the leader of the group of demons is the Yin Hou in front of him.
It's just that Yin Hou's way of teasing the kitten is not vicious at all, but somewhat similar to the usual lazy Zhan Zhao, as expected of grandparents and grandchildren...
Zhao Zhen asked Yin Hou with a smile, "This kitten seems to be destined for seniors, why not take it away?"
Yin Hou smiled, "That's good, I'll take it to Kaifeng Mansion to raise, Zhan Zhao will definitely like it."
Zhao Zhen thinks it's funny, the fourth son must like it, right? As expected, he is a grandfather. No matter how heroic Zhan Zhao has become, in the eyes of his grandfather, he is still a child who needs to be coaxed by a kitten.
Zhao Zhen is a little envious, so it's better to be an ordinary family, with harmonious relatives, unlike the royal family, where relatives and siblings even kill each other.
"emperor."
At this time, Pang Ji and Bao Zheng ran in outside, winking at Zhao Zhen—here we come!
Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, came earlier than expected, a sudden attack?
After thinking for a while, Zhao Zhen walked up to Yin Hou and said, "Senior, I'm meeting guests in the courtyard next door."
Yin Hou nodded and signaled—I got it.
Although Zhao Zhen is the king of a country, in front of Yinhou and Tianzun, he never used "zhen" once, and he used "I" to refer to himself in a normal way, which is very respectful.
So Zhao Zhen went to another courtyard, and Pang Ji and Bao Zheng followed.
Just as the two left, another person walked in and seemed to be taken aback when he saw Yin Hou.
There are not many people who can come and go freely in the inner courtyard of the palace, and this is one of them - the Eighth Prince.
After the Eighth Prince saw Yin Hou, the sadness on his face eased a little, and he seemed to calm down, and came over to give Yin Hou a shallow bow.
The corner of Yin Hou's mouth twitched, as a greeting.
The white cat jumped off Yin Hou's lap, went to Ba Wang's side, and rubbed his ankles, looking very intimate.
The Eighth King sat down on a stone stool opposite Yin Hou, stretched out his arms to pick up the white cat, rubbed its fur, and was in a daze.
Next door, there was a voice from the father-in-law, "Jiangling Mu, please see me."
Yin Hou yawned, and the Eighth King listened curiously, and the voices of the next courtyard were very clearly heard here.
After a while, I heard footsteps, and it was a person.
Yin Hou raised his eyebrows at the Eighth Prince, which means that he came alone, so there is no need to worry.
Eight Kings nodded.
Yin Hou squinted his eyes at him, always feeling that he seemed to be worried.
On the other side, Zhao Zhen, Bao Zheng, and Pang Ji were obviously "shocked" by Zhao Yuanzuo's sudden visit. Zhao Zhen said a few polite words to him, but couldn't hide the "sorrow" in his eyes.
"Why is Uncle Huang here?" Zhao Zhen asked curiously.
"Oh." Zhao Yuanzuo smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, the old minister came to meet an old friend, and then...knowing that something may have happened in the imperial city, let's come and take a look."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback, pretending to be puzzled, "What happened to the imperial city?"
"Hehe." Zhao Yuanzuo smiled lightly and waved his hands, "Your Majesty, forgive me for being abrupt. I'm sure that the old minister will come this time."
Zhao Zhen frowned slightly.
Pang Ji asked with a smile, "My lord, are you confused? Don't talk nonsense in front of the emperor!"
Zhao Yuanzuo thought for a while, then asked with a smile, "Master, do you still remember Sun Wang?"
Pang Ji was taken aback.
Bao Zheng frowned, "My lord, why did you suddenly think of Sun Wang?"
"It's Sun Wang who invited me to Kaifeng for tea this time." Zhao Yuanzuo shook his head seeing the expressions of the three people, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, and Sun Wang won't come to me... Your Majesty, according to Sun Wang's calculations, there will be a big Disaster has come, because my Da Song's guardian star has dimmed."
Everyone frowned.
Zhao Yuanzuo asked in a low voice, "But, something happened to the Ninth Prince?"
Pang Ji and Bao Zheng glanced at each other, subconsciously looking at Zhao Zhen together.
The two old men played a lot of roles, and they forced themselves to be calm and couldn't hide their anxiety.
But at this moment... Yin Hou who was next door suddenly stood up, ran to the wall, and glanced over the top of the wall.
Afterwards, Yin Hou smiled slightly, came back and sat down to drink tea.
The Eighth Prince didn't quite understand, so he went up and asked in a low voice, "Old man, what are you looking at?"
"Oh...Zhao boasted to me before that what an emperor Zhao Zhen is, I want to see if this kid is comparable to Zhao Pu."
The corner of the Eighth Prince's mouth twitched, and he waved his hands at Yinhou—this is the imperial palace, it's really true that you can say such outrageous things...
"Then what's the result?" Eight Kings suddenly became curious about Yin Hou's opinion of Zhao Zhen.
"The result..." Yin Houtuo and Chin thought for a while, then smiled, "Actually, Zhao Pu is really not suitable to be an emperor."
Seeing Yin Hou suddenly changed the subject, the Eighth King looked at him with some puzzlement, "Why? Although I, Ze Lan, don't want to be called emperor, he definitely has the qualifications to be a good emperor."
Yin Hou laughed, "It doesn't matter if you are good or capable, you can become an emperor. Good skills, good manners, or even being handsome are useless."
"Then what's the use?" Eight Kings asked.
Yin Hou sneered, "Emperors have been the same since ancient times. If you want to be stable, you have to be ruthless."
The Eighth King was slightly stunned and shook his head, "Did the old man say the wrong person? The emperor is famous for his kind heart."
"That's because the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are smart enough, and no one will hit the knife edge." Yin Hou pouted, "But it's hard to guarantee whether there are people who have eyes. When they see a coffin, they use it as a lunch box."
The Eight Kings were amused by Yin Hou's analogy, but they also wanted to see what Zhao Zhen's expression was like at this time...
What is Zhao Zhen's expression at this time?No expression!
After Zhao Zhen heard Zhao Yuanzuo's words, he started to stare at him. It's better to be expressionless than to be expressive.
Bao Zheng and Pang Ji couldn't figure out what Zhao Zhen was thinking for a while.
Zhao Yuanzuo is even more incomprehensible... But the so-called silence is better than sound, since Zhao Zhen gives you a blank space, then of course a smart person will fill it in by himself.
Really smart people often think their opponents are very smart, so... Zhao Zhen's blankness has become a calculation in Zhao Yuanzuo's eyes.
In fact, Zhao Zhen was indeed scheming, but what he was scheming was definitely not what Zhao Yuanzuo thought.
Zhao Pu is Zhao Zhen's close relative, his playmate since he was a child, and he is also the pin of the Great Song Dynasty in his hands. Zhao Pu's existence protects thousands of Song people and deters countless foreign races who are staring at him.Since Zhao Yuanzuo brought out Sun Wang, it means that he is indeed related to the case... a Han, a descendant of the Zhao family, actually harmed Zhao Pu.
Zhao Zhen had no expression on his face, but he was smiling in his heart—Old man, your death is not far away, I must kill you!
……
The Eighth King suddenly asked Yin Hou very seriously, "Do you really think that the emperor is not a soft-hearted person?"
Yin Hou tilted his head and looked at the Eighth Prince, "According to what I know about the Zhao family, you and Zhao Pu should be picked."
The Eighth Prince was stunned, "You...know other Zhao family members?"
Yin Hou rubbed his nose and said calmly, "If it wasn't for the peace of the world, I wouldn't be bothered to save the descendants of the Zhao family, and that old ghost would not be able to."
The Eighth King stared at Yin Hou for a long time, "Could it be that the legend is true?"
Yin Hou stretched out a finger and touched his lips lightly, "Not many people know about this legend, it's better for the prince to keep it a secret."
"Sure enough..." The Eighth Prince looked at Yin Hou worriedly, "You and Tianzun really don't plan to pursue the past again?"
"The damned people are all dead, and I and that old ghost are the only ones left. What are you going to do?" Yin Hou didn't care. The two little ones are causing trouble..."
The Eighth Prince nodded, and did not forget to remind, "Your Excellency, don't forget the promise you made today and don't pursue it any longer."
Yin Hou raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Do you think my surname is Zhao? Will I be a villain who turns back and forth?"
The Eighth King was robbed of his words by Yin Hou, and his face was a little bit uncomfortable, but it was obvious that his face was much better.
……
In the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion.
Zhao Pu made a lot of sand on the table, laid out a topographic map of Kaifeng Prefecture, and played chess everywhere.
The fourth son thought it was fun, so he stood on the stool and watched, while Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood with their hands behind their backs, looking down.
In front of them, Yue Ya'er and Chen Xing'er brought a few dexterous maidservants, each holding a leather bag and a needle and thread, sewing something.
Tianzun took a nap just now, felt hungry and ran out to have a look, and saw this scene.
"What is this for?" Tianzun walked to the stone stool and sat down, Yue Ya'er quickly put down the work in hand, ran to get a comb, and combed Tianzun's hair.
This is what Yueya'er likes to do the most. When Tianzun's hair is in a mess, she runs to comb it. By the way, she sighs that the long silver-white hair is so touching!Tianzun watched Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er grow up, and said that they were too small to be granddaughters, but the two girls are really cute, and one is round and the other is skinny. It's interesting to stand together.
Every time Bai Yutang saw Tianzun brushing his hair, he was very emotional... What happened back then?Why did he have silver hair at a young age?
"What are you going to do?" Tianzun was curious, tilted his head and asked Zhan Zhao with a naive look, not at all like a veteran, but more like a young man with a heart of innocence.
"Make clothes for Tong Dabao." Zhan Zhao replied with a smile, with a gentle tone in his tone, as if he always coaxed the fourth son to speak.
Bai Yutang watched the conversation between the two, and Zhan Zhao handed Yin Hou a cup of tea, and asked him if he was hungry... It was so pleasing to the eye!
While drinking tea, Tianzun watched the maids doing handiwork, and told Zhan Zhao that he wanted to eat raw fried buns. Before Zhan Zhao could ask, Bao Fu had already gone to buy them.
At this time, a few shadow guards came in, carrying a few big sheepskin bags, "My lord, you want blood."
Zhao Pu grinned, smiling particularly badly.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang shook their heads. Once Zhao Pu was imprisoned, he would think of ways to torment others. Like a black owl, he would bully other horses when he was imprisoned in the stable, and break a few wooden fences along the way.
The fourth son looked around, "Where is my father?"
"Mister is going to Longtu Pavilion!" A servant girl pointed to Longtu Pavilion in the distance, "Just now, she suddenly seemed to remember something and ran over."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and took the fourth son to watch together.
Seeing that the gate of Longtu Pavilion was open, Gongsun was standing on the ladder, flipping through a file. Obviously this file was taken out from the upper bookshelf, and there seemed to be a lot of dust. Gongsun looked at it and used it. Sleeves cover mouth and nose.
"Daddy!" The fourth son ran in, grabbed the ladder and looked up at him.
Seeing the three of them, Gongsun waved to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.
The two hurried in, and it seemed that he had discovered something.
"What did you find?" Zhan Zhao raised his face and asked Gongsun.
"When I sorted out the files, I remember seeing some." Gongsun handed some files to Zhan Zhao, and climbed down the ladder by himself.
When he stepped on the last gear, his foot slipped, and the fourth son rushed to catch him, but although Gongsun was thin, he was not something the fourth son could hold, so they both leaned back.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had sharp eyesight and quick feet... It was inconvenient to reach out, so they had to each have one foot, one hooked on the back of the fourth son, and the other on the back of Gongsun, the cooperation was a tacit understanding.
Zhao Pu ran into Longtu Pavilion and saw such a strange scene, "What kind of kung fu are you practicing?"
Gongsun stood up straight with the ladder, stretched out his hand to help the fourth son, and said, "There are some strange things recorded in this file, which may be related to our case."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang opened the file together, looked carefully...
I saw that this was a case file sent from Guizhou and Guizhou, which recorded a strange case.
It is said that a villager in a mountain village grows a kind of safflower. The nectar of safflower is highly poisonous and can confuse people's hearts.Local villagers living in deep mountains and old forests often use these poisonous flowers to poison residents in nearby towns.Most poisoned people will be controlled by others and lose their consciousness...
The villagers in this mountain village have used this poison to commit crimes for hundreds of years. There are three or four generations in total. Later, the people in the entire county are almost controlled by them like walking corpses.Finally, a wandering doctor passed by here and discovered the problem. He reported to the higher-level yamen, and all the arresters sent by the officials to investigate never returned, so the imperial court sent troops to suppress it.
This happened about 40 years ago, and the tradition of villagers using poisonous flowers can be traced back to the previous dynasty.
Later, those villagers used the controlled people to fight against the imperial court soldiers and horses, but they did not lose the wind.
The wandering doctor told the general who led the troops that the common people were infected with a strange poison and needed to be detoxified.The doctor pretended to be a controlled citizen, entered the mysterious mountain village, picked a red flower, and found that the poisonous flower was highly poisonous after returning home.The strange thing is that the people in the city were poisoned, but the local villagers themselves were fine.The doctor went to the mountain village to observe for a few days, and found that the local people were able to avoid poisoning because they used the peach blossoms growing near the safflower to make tea and cook with peach wood.The doctor studied it carefully and found that these safflowers must be planted together with peach blossoms, which are all supplied by peach blossoms.
The doctor brought some flowers and trees back to the barracks. At this time, a strange thing happened, that is, the people suddenly stopped resisting, and they seemed to let the officers and soldiers into the city.
The general originally wanted to lead troops into the city, but was stopped by the doctor...I always felt that something was wrong.
Later, Langzhong remembered that when he was spying, he found that the villagers seemed to have hoarded a lot of wine, and the big wine tanks filled the surroundings of the peach grove.Thinking of this, he tried the wine, poured the wine on the peach blossoms, and on the peach blossom trees, a large number of red flowers bloomed, and the fragrance was incomparable.People around have a dizzy feeling of drunkenness.
The doctor was shocked. It turned out that the villagers were going to use this poisonous trick to splash the peach blossom trees with wine, so that a large number of red flowers bloomed, so that all the officers and soldiers who had been introduced into Cheng could smell the poisonous pollen and be poisoned.Once these soldiers are poisoned, they will be controlled, and the villagers will have stronger troops... Once this continues, the entire country may be subverted by them with these few little red flowers.
The doctor later thought of a bad move, and let the soldiers and horses use rockets to attack the mountain village from afar... The rockets with kerosene ignited the entire peach blossom forest, and the red flowers were burned. The smoke from the burning peach trees became the antidote, and the people in the city They all woke up too.
……
Read the dossier.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Gongsun together, "Could it be that these red flowers are the true origin of the drunken flowers?"
Gongsun smiled, "Looking at the poisoning symptoms of those soldiers, it seems that they are drunk. After being poisoned, their minds are controlled by others."
While talking, Bai Fu ran in and handed Gongsun a booklet, "Sir, the ancient medical book you want."
Bai Yutang looked at Bai Fu with some puzzlement—what ancient medical book?
Bai Fu blinked, "Master, didn't you ask me to find it?"
Bai Yutang was even more puzzled.
Gongsun smiled embarrassingly, "It's urgent, Bai Fu can do more than the government servants in Kaifeng Mansion."
"Really?" Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Gongsun, what does that mean—Gongsun, why are you turning your elbows out?
Gongsun was sullen, and winked at Zhan Zhao in a low voice—he is rich!
Zhan Zhao understood and nodded immediately - no need for nothing!Not an outsider either!
"Peachwood doctor?" Zhao Pu looked at the title of the book, amused, "What peachwood doctor?"
"This doctor is a crooked doctor, but it is legendary. I deduced it based on the clues recorded in this scroll of dragon patterns. It seems that the wandering doctor is him, so I invited Bai Fu to Gujuanzhai and bought this book. .”
Bai Yutang finally understood, and nodded to Bai Fu, which means - well done!
Bai Fule hehe left.
Gongsun flipped through the book quickly, finally smiled and showed everyone, "Look!"
Everyone leaned over to take a look, and saw that this strange case of red flowers was really recorded in it, which was different from the one on the scroll of Longtu, and a few words from Doctor Taomu were added to this medical technique.The general meaning is: there is no end to medicine, and there is no end to poison. This adventure made him change his name to Taomu in order to remember this time and continue to practice medicine to save people, lest people with evil intentions turn medical skills into evil. A sorcery that harms the country and the people.In the end, Taomu Langzhong named this weird little red flower - Suoming Zuixinhua!
……
Gongsun fiddled with bottles and cans for a long time, and said to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "The guess is right, Tong Dabao's blood can indeed detoxify the poison of drunken flowers."
Zhan Zhao frowned after hearing this, "As expected, how many people can be saved by one person's blood? It seems that Empress Peach Blossom only left Tong Dabao as an antidote, and she wanted to kill quite a few people."
"What about after that?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Now the other party thinks that Zhao Pu is dead and Zhao Yuanzuo has also entered the palace. He probably came here to make a final test. In other words, they may start soon."
"We have to see the right timing. Tong Dabao may be the key. Once it's too early or too late, the other party may see the flaws and fall short!" Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang folded his arms and lowered his head, and lightly touched his elbow. He, "What the hell did you come up with?"
Bai Yutang smiled faintly, "You know it's a ghost idea? Maybe it's a good idea."
Seeing his complacency, Zhan Zhao leaned over, "What's your idea?"
Bai Yutang lowered his head and whispered a few words in his ear.
Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin and raised his head, "This trick...is a little bit damaged, but it's doable."
"What's missing?"
Zhao Pu, who had nothing to do and was "in confinement", came over at some point, holding his little four son to "relax boredom".
The fourth son opened his eyes wide and looked curiously at Zhan Zhao and then at Bai Yutang.
Just now Zhao Pu hugged the fourth son to make trouble with Gongsun, Gongsun pushed him away like a man, and said, "Go, coax the child while you go, don't make trouble."
The shadow guards all sniggered aside.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Pu like that, hugging the baby of the fourth child, they really looked like nanny.
……
"Cough cough." Zhan Zhao coughed and said it to Zhao Pu again.
Zhao Pu raised his mouth and patted Bai Yutang's shoulder, "Good plan!"
After finishing speaking, seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang raise their eyebrows, he added, "But it's not enough damage!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned, "Do you want more damage?"
Zhao Pu smiled, "Of course!"

Bao Zheng and Pang Ji couldn't figure out what Zhao Zhen was thinking for a while.
Zhao Yuanzuo is even more incomprehensible... But the so-called silence is better than sound, since Zhao Zhen gives you a blank space, then of course a smart person will fill it in by himself.
Really smart people often think their opponents are very smart, so... Zhao Zhen's blankness has become a calculation in Zhao Yuanzuo's eyes.
In fact, Zhao Zhen was indeed scheming, but what he was scheming was definitely not what Zhao Yuanzuo thought.
Zhao Pu is Zhao Zhen's close relative, his playmate since he was a child, and he is also the pin of the Great Song Dynasty in his hands. Zhao Pu's existence protects thousands of Song people and deters countless foreign races who are staring at him.Since Zhao Yuanzuo brought out Sun Wang, it means that he is indeed related to the case... a Han, a descendant of the Zhao family, actually harmed Zhao Pu.
Zhao Zhen had no expression on his face, but he was smiling in his heart—Old man, your death is not far away, I must kill you!
……
The Eighth King suddenly asked Yin Hou very seriously, "Do you really think that the emperor is not a soft-hearted person?"
Yin Hou tilted his head and looked at the Eighth Prince, "According to what I know about the Zhao family, you and Zhao Pu should be picked."
The Eighth Prince was stunned, "You...know other Zhao family members?"
Yin Hou rubbed his nose and said calmly, "If it wasn't for the peace of the world, I wouldn't be bothered to save the descendants of the Zhao family, and that old ghost would not be able to."
The Eighth King stared at Yin Hou for a long time, "Could it be that the legend is true?"
Yin Hou stretched out a finger and touched his lips lightly, "Not many people know about this legend, it's better for the prince to keep it a secret."
"Sure enough..." The Eighth Prince looked at Yin Hou worriedly, "You and Tianzun really don't plan to pursue the past again?"
"The damned people are all dead, and I and that old ghost are the only ones left. What are you going to do?" Yin Hou didn't care. The two little ones are causing trouble..."
The Eighth Prince nodded, and did not forget to remind, "Your Excellency, don't forget the promise you made today and don't pursue it any longer."
Yin Hou raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Do you think my surname is Zhao? Will I be a villain who turns back and forth?"
The Eighth King was robbed of his words by Yin Hou, and his face was a little bit uncomfortable, but it was obvious that his face was much better.
……
In the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion.
Zhao Pu made a lot of sand on the table, laid out a topographic map of Kaifeng Prefecture, and played chess everywhere.
The fourth son thought it was fun, so he stood on the stool and watched, while Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood with their hands behind their backs, looking down.
In front of them, Yue Ya'er and Chen Xing'er brought a few dexterous maidservants, each holding a leather bag and a needle and thread, sewing something.
Tianzun took a nap just now, felt hungry and ran out to have a look, and saw this scene.
"What is this for?" Tianzun walked to the stone stool and sat down, Yue Ya'er quickly put down the work in hand, ran to get a comb, and combed Tianzun's hair.
This is what Yueya'er likes to do the most. When Tianzun's hair is in a mess, she runs to comb it. By the way, she sighs that the long silver-white hair is so touching!Tianzun watched Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er grow up, and said that they were too small to be granddaughters, but the two girls are really cute, and one is round and the other is skinny. It's interesting to stand together.
Every time Bai Yutang saw Tianzun brushing his hair, he was very emotional... What happened back then?Why did he have silver hair at a young age?
"What are you going to do?" Tianzun was curious, tilted his head and asked Zhan Zhao with a naive look, not at all like a veteran, but more like a young man with a heart of innocence.
"Make clothes for Tong Dabao." Zhan Zhao replied with a smile, with a gentle tone in his tone, as if he always coaxed the fourth son to speak.
Bai Yutang watched the conversation between the two, and Zhan Zhao handed Yin Hou a cup of tea, and asked him if he was hungry... It was so pleasing to the eye!
While drinking tea, Tianzun watched the maids doing handiwork, and told Zhan Zhao that he wanted to eat raw fried buns. Before Zhan Zhao could ask, Bao Fu had already gone to buy them.
At this time, a few shadow guards came in, carrying a few big sheepskin bags, "My lord, you want blood."
Zhao Pu grinned, smiling particularly badly.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang shook their heads. Once Zhao Pu was imprisoned, he would think of ways to torment others. Like a black owl, he would bully other horses when he was imprisoned in the stable, and break a few wooden fences along the way.
The fourth son looked around, "Where is my father?"
"Mister is going to Longtu Pavilion!" A servant girl pointed to Longtu Pavilion in the distance, "Just now, she suddenly seemed to remember something and ran over."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and took the fourth son to watch together.
Seeing that the gate of Longtu Pavilion was open, Gongsun was standing on the ladder, flipping through a file. Obviously this file was taken out from the upper bookshelf, and there seemed to be a lot of dust. Gongsun looked at it and used it. Sleeves cover mouth and nose.
"Daddy!" The fourth son ran in, grabbed the ladder and looked up at him.
Seeing the three of them, Gongsun waved to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.
The two hurried in, and it seemed that he had discovered something.
"What did you find?" Zhan Zhao raised his face and asked Gongsun.
"When I sorted out the files, I remember seeing some." Gongsun handed some files to Zhan Zhao, and climbed down the ladder by himself.
When he stepped on the last gear, his foot slipped, and the fourth son rushed to catch him, but although Gongsun was thin, he was not something the fourth son could hold, so they both leaned back.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had sharp eyesight and quick feet... It was inconvenient to reach out, so they had to each have one foot, one hooked on the back of the fourth son, and the other on the back of Gongsun, the cooperation was a tacit understanding.
Zhao Pu ran into Longtu Pavilion and saw such a strange scene, "What kind of kung fu are you practicing?"
Gongsun stood up straight with the ladder, stretched out his hand to help the fourth son, and said, "There are some strange things recorded in this file, which may be related to our case."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang opened the file together, looked carefully...
I saw that this was a case file sent from Guizhou and Guizhou, which recorded a strange case.
It is said that a villager in a mountain village grows a kind of safflower. The nectar of safflower is highly poisonous and can confuse people's hearts.Local villagers living in deep mountains and old forests often use these poisonous flowers to poison residents in nearby towns.Most poisoned people will be controlled by others and lose their consciousness...
The villagers in this mountain village have used this poison to commit crimes for hundreds of years. There are three or four generations in total. Later, the people in the entire county are almost controlled by them like walking corpses.Finally, a wandering doctor passed by here and discovered the problem. He reported to the higher-level yamen, and all the arresters sent by the officials to investigate never returned, so the imperial court sent troops to suppress it.
This happened about 40 years ago, and the tradition of villagers using poisonous flowers can be traced back to the previous dynasty.
Later, those villagers used the controlled people to fight against the imperial court soldiers and horses, but they did not lose the wind.
The wandering doctor told the general who led the troops that the common people were infected with a strange poison and needed to be detoxified.The doctor pretended to be a controlled citizen, entered the mysterious mountain village, picked a red flower, and found that the poisonous flower was highly poisonous after returning home.The strange thing is that the people in the city were poisoned, but the local villagers themselves were fine.The doctor went to the mountain village to observe for a few days, and found that the local people were able to avoid poisoning because they used the peach blossoms growing near the safflower to make tea and cook with peach wood.The doctor studied it carefully and found that these safflowers must be planted together with peach blossoms, which are all supplied by peach blossoms.
The doctor brought some flowers and trees back to the barracks. At this time, a strange thing happened, that is, the people suddenly stopped resisting, and they seemed to let the officers and soldiers into the city.
The general originally wanted to lead troops into the city, but was stopped by the doctor...I always felt that something was wrong.
Later, Langzhong remembered that when he was spying, he found that the villagers seemed to have hoarded a lot of wine, and the big wine tanks filled the surroundings of the peach grove.Thinking of this, he tried the wine, poured the wine on the peach blossoms, and on the peach blossom trees, a large number of red flowers bloomed, and the fragrance was incomparable.People around have a dizzy feeling of drunkenness.
The doctor was shocked. It turned out that the villagers were going to use this poisonous trick to splash the peach blossom trees with wine, so that a large number of red flowers bloomed, so that all the officers and soldiers who had been introduced into Cheng could smell the poisonous pollen and be poisoned.Once these soldiers are poisoned, they will be controlled, and the villagers will have stronger troops... Once this continues, the entire country may be subverted by them with these few little red flowers.
The doctor later thought of a bad move, and let the soldiers and horses use rockets to attack the mountain village from afar... The rockets with kerosene ignited the entire peach blossom forest, and the red flowers were burned. The smoke from the burning peach trees became the antidote, and the people in the city They all woke up too.
……
Read the dossier.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Gongsun together, "Could it be that these red flowers are the true origin of the drunken flowers?"
Gongsun smiled, "Looking at the poisoning symptoms of those soldiers, it seems that they are drunk. After being poisoned, their minds are controlled by others."
While talking, Bai Fu ran in and handed Gongsun a booklet, "Sir, the ancient medical book you want."
Bai Yutang looked at Bai Fu with some puzzlement—what ancient medical book?
Bai Fu blinked, "Master, didn't you ask me to find it?"
Bai Yutang was even more puzzled.
Gongsun smiled embarrassingly, "It's urgent, Bai Fu can do more than the government servants in Kaifeng Mansion."
"Really?" Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Gongsun, what does that mean—Gongsun, why are you turning your elbows out?
Gongsun was sullen, and winked at Zhan Zhao in a low voice—he is rich!
Zhan Zhao understood and nodded immediately - no need for nothing!Not an outsider either!
"Peachwood doctor?" Zhao Pu looked at the title of the book, amused, "What peachwood doctor?"
"This doctor is a crooked doctor, but it is legendary. I deduced it based on the clues recorded in this scroll of dragon patterns. It seems that the wandering doctor is him, so I invited Bai Fu to Gujuanzhai and bought this book. .”
Bai Yutang finally understood, and nodded to Bai Fu, which means - well done!
Bai Fule hehe left.
Gongsun flipped through the book quickly, finally smiled and showed everyone, "Look!"
Everyone leaned over to take a look, and saw that this strange case of red flowers was really recorded in it, which was different from the one on the scroll of Longtu, and a few words from Doctor Taomu were added to this medical technique.The general meaning is: there is no end to medicine, and there is no end to poison. This adventure made him change his name to Taomu in order to remember this time and continue to practice medicine to save people, lest people with evil intentions turn medical skills into evil. A sorcery that harms the country and the people.In the end, Taomu Langzhong named this weird little red flower - Suoming Zuixinhua!
