The Way of the National Teacher

Chu Li raised his eyebrows to look at her, and put his fingertips up.

Shi Yan was calm and calm.After a while, Chu Li withdrew his right hand and looked at her with a frown.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yan blinked, "Miss Doctor Doctor, but what's wrong with me?" She asked Chu Li with a sincere look, she looked so cute.

Chu Li squinted at her, and said after a long time, "Very good, you... are very good."

"Seeing that the genius doctor frowned, I thought I had some serious illness." Shi Yan said with a sigh of relief, reaching out to stroke Chu Li's eyebrows and gently rubbing her brows away, "Now you can rest assured?"

Chu Li didn't speak, but said to Princess Shanggu, "Qu Di, let's go have breakfast first."

"Where's Sister Shi?" Qu Di looked at Chu Li, not understanding what was wrong with her.Since Shi Yan had no illness, why did Chu Li look unhappy?On the contrary, he seemed more and more depressed.

"Oh, her," Chu Li glanced at Shi Yan, "Since she is healthy and alive, there is no need for us to worry about it. Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Shi Yan, and just dragged Qu Di away.

When they reached the hall, Pearl was sitting waiting after washing.Chu Li asked everyone to eat, and Qu Di asked, "Aren't you waiting for Sister Shi?"

"Wait." Chu Li was merciless, and started to eat on his own as he spoke.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Qu Di hesitated for a while and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Isn't Sister Shi all right?"

Chu Li paused, stopped his chopsticks and said with a sneer, "Okay? It's no wonder it's okay."

Qu Di frowned, "Did you just... see what's wrong?"

"It's because I didn't find out anything, so I'm angry."

"What's that?" Qu Di asked puzzledly, "Shouldn't this be something to be happy about?"

Chu Li shook his head, "Maoshi was on the mountainside, and she vomited blood. Her face was whiter than paper. When I hugged her up, she was very skinny. It is obvious that she is deficient in Qi and blood, and it may not be more than that." I found out that she was deficient in qi and blood, which was okay. However, her pulse condition was stable and her qi and blood were strong, which is extremely abnormal. There must be reasons for things to happen." Chu Li's eyes were cold, "I don't know her What kind of tricks did you use to deceive me. But you don’t know that things will be reversed when they are extreme, and there must be a sparseness in a hundred secrets.”

After listening to Qu Di, he was silent for a while, then looked at Chu Li, "What are you going to do?"

"Let her go." Chu Li said expressionlessly, "I want to see what she's hiding."

Seeing her like this, Qu Di couldn't say much, so he sat down and had breakfast in silence.He just secretly thought in his heart, if the national teacher puts these thoughts on Shi Yan on other things, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the royal family's game of chess will be even more difficult to play.Qu Di suddenly felt that her father seemed to have chosen the wrong person.Chu Li may not be such an easy person to be manipulated by others.For the first time, Princess Shanggu's heart began to beat, and she glanced at the expressionless Chu Li again, feeling more and more that Chu Li was not easy to control.So, how can Chu Li willingly sacrifice his life for the royal family?

They eat at the same table, but they have different thoughts.Until Shi Yan came late, Qu Di smiled and said, "Sister is here."

Chu Li didn't even raise his eyelids, and said, "Qu Di, after dinner, I'll take you to Mo Zhuang to play. You just came here, and you haven't gotten familiar with the environment here yet." Looking at Zhu'er again, "Pearl I will go with you, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with the situation in the mountains in the past few days."

Qudi and Pearl agreed.

Shi Kui sat beside Chu Li, tilted his head to look at her, "Li'er?"

Chu Li just pretended not to hear.

"Li'er, what's the matter?" Shi Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he quietly grabbed her skirt and tugged, "Did I make you angry?"

"No." Chu Li smirked at her, "Senior sister can't do that."

Whoops, this burst of anger is about to rush out of the sky, and he still insists that there is no.Shi Yan sighed lowly, served her some food, and looked at her a little flatteringly.

Chu Li paused, glanced at Shi Yan's expression, and couldn't help but feel soft, and sighed secretly. Under Shi Yan's gaze, he took the green vegetable and put it in his mouth.

Shi Yan felt relieved.She actually sensed why Chu Li was angry, but she couldn't tell the truth.This time, the vitality was seriously injured, which was no small matter.If you tell Chu Li, I'm afraid she will ask why she tried so hard to save the emperor.If Shi Qi were to answer this question, it would be really hard for her to explain the reason.So it's better to keep it all secret, after all, even if Chu Li knows, things won't change in any way.And according to Chu Li's temperament, I'm afraid there will be more troubles.

Chu Li took Zhu'er and Qu Di across the mountains to Linshan Mozhuang. The journey was fairly fast, and they arrived at Linshan in just half a day.It's just that Zhu'er is too young to bear the long-distance trek. Although Chu Li carried half of the way on her back, she was so tired that she fell asleep when she reached Mozhuang.

Qu Di really saw Chu Li's strange power this time.If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would be hard for her to believe that such a young girl like Chu Li could climb mountains and ridges with ease like a joke, and she seemed to be fine after carrying a pearl on her back.Even if Princess Shanggu is not weak in martial arts, she is exhausted from going back and forth across the mountain.But Chu Li was full of energy all the way, as if walking on flat ground.

"Are you really not good at martial arts?" Qu Di looked at Chu Li suspiciously, feeling more and more that he couldn't understand her at all.

"No." Chu Li said, "That's why I want to learn Kung Fu from you. By the way, I thought about it. Swords have no eyes and are easy to hurt people. Why don't I learn whips. Qu Di, do you know how?"

"Soft whip?" Qu Di frowned, "This is harder than a sword, I can only scratch the surface."

"It doesn't matter, I just want to learn more kung fu to protect myself, not how good it is."

Qu Di agreed, "I can teach you the basic skills."

Just as they were talking, they suddenly heard noises in front of them. They took a closer look and found that Gong Shuding was arguing with a pretty girl.

"Sui Sui!" Chu Li called out in surprise, and the girl turned her head to see her, also full of surprise, "Chu Li! You're back!" Abandoning Gong Shu Ding, she went straight to Chu Li.

Only then did Qu Di see Sui Sui's appearance clearly.This girl is about the same age as Chu Li, with red lips and white teeth, she is extremely cute.Wearing a black and blue cardigan and a dark black skirt, the dark color looks extremely dull.However, the young girl had a bright smile on her face, which was even more beautiful against the background of her dark clothes.

"This is Princess Shanggu, right?" Sui Sui came forward to greet Qu Di familiarly, "My name is Wu Sui Sui, and the princess will call me Sui Sui." As she spoke, she walked around Qu Di for a while feeling very surprised. Turning around, he sighed, "Princess is a princess, look at this psychic demeanor, look at this appearance, it is really not comparable to ordinary people."

"When did you learn to read people?" Chu Li grabbed her and said, "Don't look over there." Qu Di's embarrassing situation was relieved.I wonder if she, Princess Shanggu, has ever been scrutinized so unscrupulously, let alone being scrutinized, but has anyone dared to look directly at her!Having Chu Li already made her headache, but now this Sui Sui is also rude enough.But Qu Di couldn't get angry yet, she thought, as expected of Chu Li's good friends, everyone is so bold and not afraid of death.

Sui Sui finished sizing herself up, and then stuck out her tongue, "Princess, don't blame us, people in the countryside don't understand etiquette, and your lord princess has a lot~"

Qu Di tried his best not to have an attack, but he couldn't make people look good, so he responded with a light "hmm".

Gong Shuding followed and ran over, seeing Chu Li hurriedly said, "Master, why are you here?"

Before Chu Li could answer, Sui Sui happily grabbed Chu Li's arm, "By the way, I'd forget if he didn't tell you, Chu Li, you have become a national teacher!"

It seems that the national teacher is more noble than the princess.Qudi was getting more and more unhappy.

Chu Li sent Zhu'er to Gongshu Ding's arms, "Your little apprentice is exhausted from the long journey, so please send her to rest for a while."

"..." Gong Shuding's face was dark, why was he being ordered by Chu Li again.But Zhu'er was indeed his favorite apprentice, so he had to listen.Then he hugged Zhu Er reluctantly and left.

Sui Sui held Chu Li's arm with one hand, and Qu Di's arm consciously with the other, "You guys just happened to come, we were playing a boat race, and we happened to be playing together." She specifically asked Chu Li, "I have a national teacher here. , and there is a princess, it would be too shameful if she loses."

"But I don't care about winning or losing." Chu Li said deliberately.

Sui Sui snorted, then said to Qu Di with a smile, "But, the princess can't lose face."

"..." Qu Di's face darkened, when is she going to play some rowing competition!

The result was not pushed away.After turning over the mountain, he couldn't catch his breath, and was pushed onto the boat again.It's just that Qu Di lived in the north for a long time and didn't like water. He started to get seasick not long after boarding the boat, and his limbs felt dizzy and weak.

Sui Sui and Chuli were in the same boat, seeing this, Chuli hurriedly said, "Stop quickly, and send the princess ashore."

Sui Sui said, "No! I can't lose this competition."

"Oh, Suisui," Chu Li said anxiously, "Is it important for you to compete, or someone else's body?"

Sui Sui glared at her, "If I lose, I'm afraid my life is on the line."

"What?" Chu Li was surprised, "What are you guys competing for, playing so big?"

"It's not because of you!"

"Me?" Chu Li was surprised, "What's none of my business?"

Sui Sui was angrily rowing the boat vigorously, seeing the young man on the side smiling at her and overtaking her, Sui Sui was in a hurry and wanted to chase after her.But at this moment, Princess Shanggu couldn't bear the bumps, and immediately lay down on the side of the boat and vomited.Chu Li quickly supported her, and said to Sui Sui, "Sui Sui, slow down!"

Sui Sui ignored it and continued rowing with greater strength.But the young man had already surpassed, and when Sui Sui reached the shore, the young man had already taken the flag, took two teammates, and stood on the shore triumphantly waiting for her, "Sui Sui, you lost~"

"Hmph!" Sui Sui stared at him dissatisfied, "Smelly Xiaoshan, if you win, you win, what's the point of showing off!" She said, "If it wasn't for the fact that someone here is uncomfortable, how could I let you win."

As he said that, he quickly went to help Princess Shanggu.

Princess Shanggu has completely collapsed.After all, she was spoiled and spoiled, and she had already suffered a lot during the journey. She was tired after turning over the mountain, and she was forced to board the boat again, and she completely passed out.

Chu Li felt guilty, and Sui Sui sent Qu Di to the room to rest.

"Suisui, what did you just say that the game has something to do with me?"

"It's nothing." Sui Sui looked at Qu Di on the bed, pursed her lips and said, "It's not difficult."

"What?" Chu Li was puzzled.

"The owner asked me to find thousand-year-old red ginseng, but this kind of thing is extremely difficult to find, and you will be punished if you fail to complete the task." Sui Sui said, "So I don't want to go."

"Thousand-year-old red ginseng?" Chu Li asked, "What are you looking for? It sounds hard to find."

"It's not only hard to find, it's really hard to find." Sui Sui sighed, "But I lost, what can I do?"

"What if I can't find it?"

"Then accept the punishment." She said it easily, but her heart was not at all easy.Mo Zhuang's rules are extremely strict, and the upper and lower levels are strict. Although the overall atmosphere is very harmonious, everyone is a family, regardless of high or low, but when it comes to doing things, the division of levels is very clear.Of course, they are divided by their own ability.The punishment for failing to complete the task is also quite severe.

"By the way, Sui Sui," Chu Li said, "Is your sister okay?"

"Sister?" Sui Sui rolled her eyes, "Why do you suddenly care about her?"

"Oh, the last time Wuxi went to see my senior sister, I just found out that she had lost her vitality in order to save the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. The situation is very bad. Senior sister is worried, and I don't know how she is doing now, so I came here to ask."

"No, Sister Shi went with my sister, how could she not know about my sister's situation? And—" At this point, Sui Sui suddenly stopped talking, glanced at Chu Li, and smiled guiltily.

Seeing this, Chu Li's heart skipped a beat, and some bad thoughts suddenly came to him.She lowered her eyes and looked away, and said in a deep voice, "And my senior sister is the one who saved the emperor, isn't she?"

"Ah!" Sui Sui quickly covered her mouth, "I didn't say that!" She was anxious, "Chu Li Chu Li, you must not say anything about it, my sister won't let you mention it. You say." It's a pity that she didn't pay attention to Chu Li, and Chu Li tried it for real and fake, and it was tested.

Chu Li suddenly stood up, trembling all over.She couldn't think at all, the one who saved people was actually Shi Yan, she just tried it unintentionally, she thought that Sui Sui would refute, but who knows that she heard such an answer.Chu Li's face was gloomy and terrifying, he stared at Suisui and said, "Did you get rescued by Bihai Hanchan?"

Sui Sui covered her mouth tightly and refused to speak.

"I'm going to find Wu Xi now." Before Chu Li could turn around, Sui Sui pulled him back, "Don't go! This is the task my sister gave me as an adult. If I know that I failed the task, I will You'll be punished." She panicked.Mo Zhuang missions are divided into ten levels. The higher the mission level, the richer the rewards, but at the same time, the heavier the punishment for failing to complete the mission.Moreover, the Mohists advocate ruthlessness and abandonment of desires, and the implementation of the rules can be described as extremely strict and merciless.Although the confidential task that Wu Xi sent to Sui Sui was a level three task, the penalty for not completing it was twenty whips.The twenty lashes fell on the body, although it didn't bruise the skin, but it was enough to make people bruised.

"Then tell me everything you know."

Sui Sui became anxious, "If I told you everything, then it would not be a matter of twenty lashes. I'm afraid it will be a stick."

"Okay," Chu Li was anxious and hated, and now he said cruelly, "If you don't tell me, I will let you eat these twenty lashes."

"Chu Li! You're too cruel." But Chu Li didn't waver, Sui Sui hurriedly grabbed her, "Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, but you must not show it, or I will really eat you!" Can't walk around."

Chu Li responded, "Say."

"If you want to take the Bihai Hanchan without a fish intestine sword and can't break the ice, you can only use bait to lure the Hanchan out. Bihai Hanchan likes shade, and Sister Shi has a cold constitution, so she uses her body as a host to freeze herself with black ice, and freezes the Hanchan. lured out."

Chu Li clenched his fists, pinched his fingertips into his palms, but fell down on the bed with a pale face.Shi Yan is almost exchanging his life for his life. If he is unlucky, he will die here.

Moreover, Chu Li gritted his teeth loudly, and Shi Kui even used his own blood as a medicine because of his nerves.But her life is already hanging by a thread, she can still be so careless about her body, what is going on crazy!Chu Li was out of breath, holding his breath in his heart, unable to move up and down.

"Chu Li? Chu Li?" Seeing that her face was pale and trembling, Sui Sui was frightened, and quickly patted her on the back, "Don't worry, don't worry."

But Chu Li's breath was stuck in her heart, and she was almost suffocated.Soon his face turned dark red and then pale, Sui Sui was so frightened that he slapped her on the back of her heart with internal strength, and Chu Li let out this breath.But he couldn't stop asking with trembling voice, "Do you know how to save her?"

"Thousand-year-old red ginseng." Sui Sui didn't dare to hide anymore, she was really afraid that Chu Li would suffocate to death before he could catch his breath.

"Isn't that exactly what you're looking for?"

"Yes," Sui Sui said, "The owner of the village specially ordered me to look for it. My sister said that only a small half of the thousand-year-old red ginseng given to Sister Shi by Emperor Song was left, and another third was used this morning. There is not much, there is no longer any delay, we must find it as soon as possible.”

"How are you going to find it? Such a rare thing." Chu Li's face was ashen, but he still couldn't stop shaking.She really didn't expect, never expected, that this person turned out to be Shi Yan.At this moment, Chu Li suddenly understood where the cold air came from in the middle of the night, and even more understood why Shi Yan had the breath of Wuxi on his body when he went down the mountain this morning-she thought it was her feeling wrong, but now it seems that, It was when Shi Yan met Wuxi and took red ginseng for thousands of years.That's why there was no abnormality when going down the mountain, and it was only when I felt her pulse that I found out that her blood was too strong.

She is trying to make up for it, but it also hurts her body.

Sui Sui hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly, "There is... there is a way..."

Chu Li's eyes lit up, "What way?!"

Sui Sui glanced at Qu Di on the bed, and whispered to Chu Li, "Princess Shanggu has a Five-Ming Fan, which can discern the aura of heaven and earth. Thousand-year-old red ginseng is the king of grass, and its aura is very strong. If you use the Five-Ming Fan to guide , will definitely find it.”

"Five Ming Fan?" Chu Li looked at her suspiciously, "Recognize the aura of heaven and earth?"

Sui Sui nodded heavily, "I know you don't believe this, but it's true."

Chu Li frowned, and suddenly said, "So, you rowed the boat so fast on purpose to make Qu Di faint?" She said, "You have never met Princess Shanggu, but you knew it was her when you met her. It can be seen that you have worked hard. Then, there is no reason for you not to know that Princess Shanggu who grew up in the north is afraid of water and seasickness. So, since we first came, you have planned everything, right?"

"Um," Sui Sui curled her lips, "I can't help it. I need to use the Wuming Fan, but I can't give it to her, so I can only make her faint like this." She glanced at Chuli again, "This is for Save your senior sister."

Chu Li fell silent.Looking at Qu Di silently for a while, he said with difficulty, "Is that fan really useful?"

"If you don't believe this, it's useless for me to explain. But now you can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, because you have no other choice."

Chu Li didn't leave Qu Di's eyes, she had a complicated expression, and said shyly, "What are you going to do?"

"Steal the sky and change the sun." It was originally planned to take Qu Di's fan away and give her a fake one that is exactly the same.Anyway, she doesn't know how to use it, and she can't tell the truth from the fake.Sui Sui can use the real fan to find things.

But although Qu Di never mentioned it, if Sui Sui thinks this fan is so important, then obviously, this fan is also very important to Qu Di.How could Chu Li not understand that today's plan can be carried out so smoothly, most of the reason is that Qudi trusts her.Although Qu Di is suspicious, he really regards Chu Li as a friend.Chu Li was so frank that Qu Di gradually let go of her wariness.But now, it was Chu Li who unconsciously led her into the trap, and would push the trap himself.

Chu Li clenched her fists, "What if I tell her clearly? Just say to borrow her fan?" She looked up at Sui Sui, "It's not impossible."

But Sui Sui shook his head.Her task is not only to get Wuming Fan, but also to keep Wuming Fan out of Chu Li's sight.One of the things the owner explained was that Chu Li should not be allowed to see the magic of the Wuming Fan.So she said, "The Wuming Fan is a treasure, and she can't borrow it. Besides, if you tell her, it's tantamount to scaring the snake. If she doesn't borrow it, it will be difficult to get it when the time comes. Chu Li, what do you want?" Think clearly."

Chu Li clenched his fists tightly, and suddenly asked, "Will you return this fan when it's used up?" She stared into Sui Sui's eyes and said, "You Mo Zhuang never trade at a loss, it is Wu Xi, and Shi Qi We have a close relationship, and we have never done business without capital. Then why did your owner help my senior sister? Or do you want to take this fan, find the thousand-year-old red ginseng, and exchange it with the senior sister for something?"

Sui Sui choked, "I don't know. I only know that if you find a thousand-year-old red ginseng, you can give it to Sister Shi directly."

"What about the conditions?"

Spike shakes his head.

"Then I'd rather look for it myself." After Chu Li finished speaking, Sui Sui smiled, "You look for it yourself? For the rest of your life? I'm afraid Sister Shi can't wait. And this fan can only be used after the secretary of the Taoist sect has sacrificed it, will you?" ?”

"Sacrificial fan?" Chu Li bit his lip, "It's a mystery." Sui Sui was noncommittal.Although Chu Li said so, he just looked at Qu Di deeply for a while, and walked out resolutely.

As for what happened in this room afterwards, since she was not present, she couldn't stop it.

However, this guilt finally took root in my heart.

Sui Sui looked at her back and said to herself, "So, Chu Li, there are times when you are willing to break your own principles." This is really not like what the stubborn and upright Chu Li has always been able to do.

When Chu Li heard the voice behind him, his body froze, his footsteps paused, and he still lifted his foot and left resolutely.

She closed the door with her own hands.It's like shutting off my past self.

There was a mountain in his heart, and Chu Li's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and every step he took felt extremely heavy.One is the senior sister, and the other is her friend and the principle she adheres to.Give up hope of saving Senior Sister?Or betray your friends and break your bottom line?

Even if it is so difficult, how can she choose?

There is no choice.

But Chu Li didn't know yet that as long as the first step was taken in some things, the second step and the third step would not be so difficult.

And the owner of Mo Zhuang.Chu Li looked around in a daze, what did the owner of the village use in exchange to find this rare and precious thousand-year-old red ginseng for Shi Qi?

As for Shi Yan, why did he go so desperately to save an emperor who was out of reach.

Chu Li didn't know anything.Things seem to be becoming more and more elusive, just like the endless and looming mountains, which are becoming more and more complicated, making it difficult for people to see the truth and falsehood.
