I am a ruler in troubled times

Bo Yang came quickly, but was helpless in the face of Chong Yi's situation.

He is talented in medical skills, willing to specialize in research, and is also keen on practice on weekdays. He claims to have some experience, but Chongyi is an existence that makes him constantly break through his original cognition.

He often feels powerless in the face of Chong Yi, and this time is no exception.

Bo Yang even wanted to find a doctor from the town to show Chong Yi because of self-doubt.

Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe disagreed.

Qizhen may not be much safer than the mountains, and Chongyi's current situation cannot bear even the slightest surprise.

In the end, Bo Yang could only boil down the antipyretic medicine first to pour Chong Yi down, and then give Chong Yi another injection to suppress the toxin.

Under the candlelight, Bo Yang shook his head at the blackened needle tip, and said with difficulty, "Because the high fever toxin is spreading faster than before."

Song Peiyu also saw the blackened tip of the needle, gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness has saved your life, you have to do everything possible to save him."

If Chong Yi didn't suddenly wake up and kill all the bandits, there would be no essential difference in the ending of the three of them.

Bo Yang's complexion changed several times, he looked up at Song Peiyu, and said coldly, "I am from the country of Yan. When I was still in the mountains, I didn't know whether it would be Zhao Jun or Yan Jun who came first, so I will do my best to treat the serious ones. Yi. Now we are in Qizhen, neither of you can do anything to me, I can kill Chong Yi and run back to Yan Kingdom to claim credit. Do you still dare to ask me to save Chong Yi?"

Song Peiyu said without hesitation, "Your Highness believes in you, so I believe in you. When you were in Huashan, His Highness dared to order you to draw a sword, that is to trust you. If this is the case, why don't I dare to use you?"

Bo Yang was stunned, his face seemed moved, and he turned his head slightly to look at Chong Yi.

What he didn't know was that behind him, Lu Jihe was quietly standing three steps away from him, holding an exotic dagger, staring intently at Song Peiyu's expression.

As long as Song Peiyu showed a strange look, Lu Jihe would rush forward without hesitation.

"He..." Bo Yang could not bear it, and said in a low voice, "His right back is already seriously injured, and he has been injured repeatedly and has not had a good recovery. I have always wondered why his injury has never recovered. Fever. Now that I think about it, maybe his willpower is far superior to that of ordinary people, so that he can suppress the illness. Now all the signs of suppressing have burst out, and he is already at the end of his strength."

Song Peiyu silently clenched Chong Yi's hand, but there was no sign of abnormality on his face, and he said firmly, "Please think of a way, if something happens to His Highness, His Majesty will not let us and our family go, even if your family is far away. Yan State is no exception, and the Song family is a lesson from the past."

Bo Yang and Song Peiyu looked at each other expressionlessly, neither of them backed down.

After a long time, Bo Yang took the wooden hairpin off his head.

With a little force, the wooden hairpin splits into two.

Bo Yang took out the soybean-sized pill inside and gave it to Song Peiyu, "This is what I found among the relics of a famous doctor when I was still in the country of Yan. According to records, it is a magic medicine that can save lives. I Seeing Lie Xinxi, I always carry this pill with me so that I can study it at any time, but I still can't guess what the main medicine is."

"How can there be any magic medicine in this world? Otherwise, how could the famous doctor who made this magic medicine die?" Bo Yang twitched the corners of his mouth sarcastically, and looked deeply at Song Peiyu, "I have nothing to do with Your Highness's situation, should I It's up to you to decide to use this medicine. The confirmed flavors in this medicine are warm tonics, some of which have hot and cool properties, and they all presumably are for the purpose of synthesizing the main medicine."

Song Peiyu stared fixedly at the pill on the palm of his hand. After getting closer, he could already see the cracks on the surface of the pill, but he couldn't smell any smell of medicine.

It is enough to prove how old this pill is.

The medicinal properties may have long since disappeared or even changed.

"Dissolve it in hot water?" Song Peiyu heard a completely unfamiliar voice coming from his mouth.

Bo Yang nodded, "Yes, I'll go to the kitchen and boil some hot water to wipe his body."

After finishing speaking, Bo Yang turned around and left, really regardless of Song Peiyu's decision.

After Bo Yang left, Lu Jihe, who had never said a word, said, "I don't think he's lying."

"His situation in the country of Yan is not good. His father is a legitimate son, and he is also a legitimate son. His father is the legitimate son born to his grandfather's fourth wife, and his father has three legitimate brothers. His grandmother gave birth to his father. Difficult childbirth when he was young, and his father passed away when he was three years old, and his grandfather remarried his fifth wife, and his father has three younger brothers who were born on the same day." Lu Jihe shook his head inexplicably, "His experience There is almost no difference from his father, half-brother with his direct brother, whose biological mother died early, and his half-brother."

"If he had been valued at home, he wouldn't have fallen into His Majesty's hands by accident. If Yunyang Bo Yu couldn't bear to intercede for him, His Majesty, who was furious at that time, would have sacrificed him to the flag."

It was precisely because he knew Bo Yang's origins in the cave that when he thought that the person he was looking for was either Zhao Jun or Yan Jun, Lu Jihe repeatedly used such words to provoke Bo Yang, forcing Bo Yang to take the initiative to hide the truth for Song Peiyu. identity.

Song Peiyu remembered what Lu Jihe said in his heart, and held the hand holding the pill in a vague voice, "Let me think about it again."

Lu Jihe looked at Song Peiyu who couldn't hide his exhaustion and daze under the candlelight, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything after all, turned and left the room silently.

He squeezed Bo Yang again, maybe he could squeeze something out.

Song Peiyu stayed with Chongyi for the whole night, always holding the extravagant hope that Chongyi could reduce the fever by himself, but when Chongyi's breathing began to stop intermittently, there was a sign of stopping at any time.

Song Peiyu had no choice but to feed Chong Yi the pill that Bo Yang took out.

Fortunately, after another two hours, although Chong Yi was still running a fever, his breathing calmed down.

During the day, Bo Yang and Lu Jihe asked Song Peiyu to take a rest.

The three of them took turns to take care of Chong Yi, so that no one would fall down again.

However, Song Peiyu refused to leave the room without saying anything, and finally managed to get dazed for a while on the soft bed carried by Bo Yang and Lu Jihe, but was awakened by the nightmare of Chong Yi dying, and turned over from the soft bed with a dazed face. on the ground.

Seeing Chongyi's fever lasted for a whole day, Bo Yang had no choice but to remind him, "It's not a good sign if the fever continues like this. If the fever doesn't subside, you can even wake up."

Bo Yang's complexion twisted, and his voice suddenly became softer, "It may leave a serious illness, or damage the intelligence."

After listening to Bo Yang's words, Song Peiyu calmed down. She didn't know whether to tell it to herself or others, and murmured, "It's good to be alive, he doesn't need intelligence."

Now not only Bo Yang's face was distorted, but also Lu Jihe's face was also distorted.

The two looked at each other and silently exited the main room.

All Song Peiyu's thoughts were on Chong Yi, and she didn't care what Bo Yang and Lu Jihe were thinking.

He touched the temperature of Chong Yi's body, poured hot water to wipe Chong Yi's body again, and chatted with Chong Yi about the things that happened in the past, just like when he was still in the East Palace, he told Chong Yi those things. Chong Yi's tone when he likes to listen to the story or doesn't like to listen to it.

After another day, Song Peiyu's voice was not known whether it was because of talking too much or getting angry. After being so hoarse that she could hardly speak, Chong Yi finally had a fever.

After this high fever, Chong Yi looked like a delicate flower that had been blown by a strong wind and rain, and his whole body was visibly haggard.

But it is good news if the fever subsides, no matter whether Chong Yi is still the Chong Yi they are familiar with after waking up, at least his life is saved.

After Chongyi's fever subsided, Lu Jihe no longer stayed at home all day long. When he went out to buy food, he would deliberately talk to the shopkeeper more often to understand the situation in Qizhen calmly.

Lu Jihe was not at home, and Bo Yang guarded the kitchen and did not go out. Song Peiyu found that Mrs. Tang was cold, so she had to go to the kitchen to change the hot water by herself.

Fortunately, Bo Yang did not forget to keep hot water on the stove while cooking the medicine, which did not waste much time for Song Peiyu.

Song Peiyu trotted all the way back to the main room from the kitchen, and placed the three Mrs. Tang under Chong Yi's feet, waist and shoulders.After carefully tucking the quilt for Chong Yi, he habitually touched Chong Yi's forehead, but his eyes caught off guard into black and white eyes.

Song Peiyu stared blankly at Chong Yi, and even forgot to remove his hand from Chong Yi's forehead, "Are you awake?"

The voice that came out was hoarse and rough, even Song Peiyu herself found it unpleasant.

Chong Yi didn't feel anything, and even replied in his usual style, with a flat 'um' sound, as if he hadn't struggled in the gate of hell for three days, but just took a short rest in the Eastern Palace Nuan Pavilion.

Song Peiyu's tears fell without warning.

He has shed more tears these days than in his entire life.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to wipe something that blocked his sight, Song Peiyu suddenly got excited, and said in a quick and urgent tone, "Who am I?"

Chong Yi blinked, he had never seen Song Peiyu in such a mess.

In his impression, no matter when and where, Song Peiyu can always see the character of a family member.Even if he described it as embarrassing, he was still determined in his bones. This was the Song Peiyu he knew.

The person who was looking at him with tears in his eyes was wearing cotton clothes that didn't fit well, and the sleeves were obviously too long.Not only her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, but her long hair, which was always broken and curled up because of the diligent washing in the past, also turned into a mess.

Looking at him, there was a naive look in his eyes that he had never seen before.

Who else could he be besides Song Peiyu?

Chong Yi hesitated, and said, "Beaver slave?"

Song Peiyu was stunned, is this stupid or not?

It is true that he is a raccoon slave, but except for the elders, no one ever called him that, and Chong Yi never called him a raccoon slave, but Song Peiyu directly.

"One piece of soap is five taels of silver, how much money does it cost to buy ten pieces of soap in Fenfangting?" Song Peiyu asked again.

"I don't know." Chong Yi stared at Song Peiyu's expression as if the sky was falling, and said with a frown, "Not all of Fragrant Court's soaps sell for five taels of silver."

Thinking that Chong Yi was really stupid, Song Peiyu who was heartbroken was stunned again.

So... it's his fault, the person who wrote the question?

Chong Yi raised his limp hand and put it on Song Peiyu's head, his tone was full of concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Song Peiyu and Chong Yi kept one hand on each other's forehead and looked at each other for a while.Song Peiyu suddenly withdrew her hand, also grabbed the hand on her head, stuffed it back into the quilt, and said expressionlessly, "It's okay."

I just wanted to see if you had a high fever and became stupid, and then found that the stupid one seemed to be yourself.

Song Peiyu concealed her embarrassment with a cold face, and immediately went to Bo Yang to see Chong Yi's situation.

Bo Yang not only took Chong Yi's pulse several times, but also specially checked the wounds on Chong Yi's body.

It can only be said that Chong Yi's physique is indeed different from ordinary people. After several narrow escapes, except for a wound on the right back that festered and had to cut off carrion, the other wounds were not serious.

After arriving in the town, with the appropriate medicine, the wound on Chong Yi's right back also scabbed again.

Bo Yang let out a long breath, the expression on his face was extremely complicated.

If there is really a real dragon reincarnated in this world, he unconditionally believes that the person who is reincarnated by the real dragon is Chong Yi.

All of this can be survived safely, except for the protection of the real dragon, he really can't find any other reason.

Lu Jihe couldn't wait for the answer for a long time, so he pushed Bo Yang impatiently.

Only then did Bo Yang come back to his senses, and said to Song Peiyu who was staring at him eagerly, "Your Highness is fine. Although the toxin hurts your body, it is incomparable to the injury on your right back. As long as you don't have a fever, you can recover at night." Start taking detoxification medicine, and there will be no serious problems in a short time."

"What do you mean there will be no serious problems in a short time?" Song Peiyu was extremely dissatisfied with this answer.

Bo Yang carefully explained, "According to the current prescription, the poison in His Highness's body will be cleaned up after five years. After returning to Zhao State, the medicinal materials are complete, and only ten medicines are needed to completely remove the poison. Avoid re-poisoning before cleaning up, otherwise the two toxins will meet in the body..."

Bo Yang didn't say the rest, and everyone present could understand what it meant.

After all, Qi Zhen is too poor and there is no good medicine for Chong Yi.

Chong Yi listened to everyone discussing his illness as if he was an outsider, most of his eyes were on Song Peiyu, and occasionally on his very weak hands.

Bo Yang didn't need to say anything, he could feel that he was very weak now.

If he is so weak that if he encounters those bandits again, he may have to suffer more serious injuries to kill them all.

Maybe it's because I've been in bed for three days?

If he hadn't listened to the conversation between Bo Yang and Song Peiyu, Chong Yi wouldn't have known that he was comatose for another three days.

This time there was no dream, and there was no voice in the back of his head chattering at him endlessly.

All in all, it is a happy event that Chong Yi can wake up, and it seems that there are no serious sequelae caused by the high fever.

The first one who couldn't stand it was Song Peiyu. Ever since Chongyi started to have a high fever, he had never slept for more than two hours. Even during those two hours, he would not stay too far away from Chongyi. It will take a while to collapse.

After knowing that Chong Yi was fine for the time being, he began to nod his head once and for all while talking, and it didn't take long before he leaned against the end of the bed and completely lost his voice.

Seeing this, Bo Yang and Lu Jihe shut their mouths, and were about to carry Song Peiyu to the room next door to have a good rest, when they saw Chong Yi silently moved into the bed, leaving half of the bed free.

Lu Jihe suddenly went numb, not knowing what to do or what to say.

I just escaped from death, and I want to stick with my lover, it seems that there is no problem?

When Lu Jihe calmed down the fried-haired self, he found that Bo Yang had moved Song Peiyu, who was sleeping and didn't know anything, to Chong Yi's side.

Fortunately, the bed in the main room was big enough, even if Chong Yi and Song Peiyu were lying on it, it would not look crowded.

After the two of them left the main room, Lu Jihe looked at Bo Yang with a gloomy gaze, with a tone of praise and derogation, "I didn't expect you to accept it so quickly."

Bo Yang turned to look at Lu Jihe in confusion, "What?"

Lu Jihe was also physically and mentally exhausted, too lazy to play tricks with Bo Yang who was pretending to be stupid, so he sneered and turned back to his room.

Tuliu Baiyang thought about it for a long time in a daze, but he didn't think how he offended Mr. Lu again, so he scolded 'sick' angrily, and went back to his room.

Song Peiyu slept for two full days and two nights. After he woke up, Chong Yi was able to go to the yard to bask in the sun according to Bo Yang's instructions.

At night, everyone began to discuss what to do next.

Lu Ji and Da Fang shared what he had gained in the past few days, and gave everyone a detailed introduction to Qi Zhen's situation.

Located at the junction of the south of Zhao State and the north of Wei State, the townspeople still claim to be from the former dynasty, and both Zhao State and Wei State refuse to admit that Qi Town is their territory.

The townspeople in Qizhen also have no feelings for Zhao Guo and Wei Guo, or they only have hatred for Zhao Guo and Wei Guo.

They think that their current predicament is caused by Zhao Guo and Wei Guo.

Song Peiyu once learned about the three-way zone on the way to Huashan to sacrifice.

The so-called "three no-regards" zone must have several characteristics.

Most of them are plain areas without any natural barriers, so they cannot be used as border fortresses.Once one side sends troops, it can quickly take over the area by virtue of its numerical advantage.

Wealthy businessmen would rather take long detours and spend several times more tolls than pass through unregulated areas.

Three, regardless of the area, neither can provide goods to rich merchants, nor have the money to buy goods from rich merchants. On the contrary, there are many bandit villages.

Traveling merchants can sell goods between countries for many years, so they naturally have their own interpersonal relationships.At the very beginning, they also thought about opening up the relationship and taking a shortcut in the region regardless of the area, but the result was extremely disastrous.

Thirdly, there are too many bandits in the area, and the change of big bandit villages is very fast, so these bandits are not in the mood to go fishing for big fish for a long time. No matter what people say, they only make one-shot deals.Fearing revenge from the wealthy businessman's family members, their methods of cutting grass and roots are even more ruthless.

Over time, whenever wealthy businessmen pass by the area of ​​​​the no-regulation area, they are afraid that the circle around them will not be big enough, and they will be overtaken by the bandits from the no-regulation area, so how could they take the initiative to approach the no-regarded area again.

With a small population and an underdeveloped economy, it is not worth the country to waste a lot of manpower and material resources.

They may suffer from military disasters at any time and be oppressed by bandits, even businessmen are unwilling to approach.

A small population and an underdeveloped economy are both inevitable consequences and prerequisites.

All kinds of characteristics are intertwined, and the three-regardless area is firmly trapped in a vicious circle surrounded by poverty and desolation. People inside have no way to change, and people outside don't bother to change.

There is no difference between Qi Zhen and those areas that Song Peiyu knew about before.

Now their biggest problem is that they cannot send letters to Zhao Guo, nor can they leave Qi Zhen easily.

They have already seen what the bandits outside Qi Town look like.

As long as they leave the area of ​​Qizhen, they may encounter more than one wave of bandits. Among them, Chong Yi, the only one who can fight, has fallen, and the remaining three have almost zero fighting power.

Even if Chong Yi didn't fall down, they didn't dare to leave Qi Zhen easily.

After all, Chong Yi is only a mortal body. Even if he is really brave enough to fight a hundred with one, by the time he comes to his senses, the others will have turned into flesh.

In this way, they can only find a way from within Qi Town.

The government was the first to be considered by everyone.

There is Tongpan Mansion in Qizhen, and there is also Tongpan, the hereditary one.

There are also government servants in the Tongpan Mansion. This kind of three does not care about the region. From birth, males are doomed to be unable to get rid of military service, unless the family has money and can use taxes to exempt from military service.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Tongpan Mansion and Yamen servants that Qi Zhen can avoid being harassed by bandits.

After the discussion, both Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe felt that the risk was too great.

It may not be a secret that Zhao Guo lost the only prince. Chong Yi's significance to Zhao Guo is too special, and it is difficult to guarantee whether Qi Zhentong judge will have other ideas after guessing Chong Yi's identity.

Foolish people think that it is Zhao Guo and Wei Guo who always threaten Qi Zhen with military difficulties, and refuse to include Qi Zhen in the territory, which leads to the current situation of Qi County. No one knows whether Qi Zhen Tongsan also has this idea.

Things are back to where they started.

How are they going to return to Zhao?

Or how to inform Zhao Guo that they are here?

Even someone as smart as Song Peiyu couldn't think of a comprehensive solution.

Lu Jihe was also frowning.

Bo Yang directly gave up thinking, and honestly became his toolman, taking advantage of this time to change Chong Yi's dressing, and watched Song Peiyu's hand injury.

Seeing that everything that can be done has been done, and the others still haven't reached a conclusion, Bo Yang looked at Chong Yi, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Chong Yi withdrew his gaze from Song Peiyu's wrist, and said without hesitation, "Not at all."

Song Peiyu sighed, and looked at Lu Jihe, "Don't act rashly until there is a perfect plan. The fact that we entered the town with great fanfare may have attracted the attention of the Tongjufu. It's better to settle down here first."

Lu Jihe had no other choice but to nod reluctantly.

In the brief silence, there was a sudden sound of 'kuang' and 'kuang' knocking on the door.

"Tongjufu for questioning, open the door!" An extraordinarily strong voice came from outside.

Lu Jihe glanced at Song Peiyu angrily, and cursed in a low voice, "Bah! Another crow's mouth!"

In a blink of an eye, he changed his innocent and ignorant expression and tone, and raised his voice, "Who is it! Here it comes! Stop knocking!"

Song Peiyu quickly went to get the robe from the shelf, and put it on Chong Yi who was shirtless.

The sound of the door being slammed outside didn't mean any relief, and Lu Jihe didn't dare to delay any longer. Seeing that Chong Yi's clothes were almost dressed, he mouthed a few times to Song Peiyu, and hurried out to open the door.

Bo Yang was afraid that Lu Jihe would suffer, so he also followed.

Taking advantage of this time, Song Peiyu grabbed Chong Yi's shoulder and whispered a few words in his ear.

As early as when Chong Yi was still in a coma with a high fever, Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe were looking for him in anticipation of the Tongju Mansion, and specially prepared a few sets of excuses in advance.

To be on the safe side, it's best not to let Tong Sanfu know about Chong Yi's injuries.

After a while, Lu Jihe led the outsiders in.

These people were neatly dressed, and they looked more upright than the bandits they had encountered before. The leader looked like he was in his 20s, not like someone who worked in the county government, but like a young man.

Lu Jihe took the initiative to point to Song Peiyu and Chong Yi to introduce to the visitors, "These are my two clan brothers, Sheng Yu and Sheng Sheng. We are from Zhao Guowei County. We lost our way and encountered bandits when we went out to play. The guards We tried our best to intercept the bandits, and our brothers could only hide in the woods in a hurry, and after going around the woods, we arrived outside Guizhen, and we could only stay here temporarily."

While talking, Lu Jihe took out a cow-shaped jade pendant and showed it to the young master, "This was a birthday present from my father when I was born last year. If you can help me report the letter to my family, there is still a Great gift."

What Lu Jihe took out was the same as Song Peiyu's jade wrench finger, but it was just something he took out and wore on his body. If it was still in Zhao State, this thing was not worthy of appearing on Lu Jihe's body for a second time.

But it can make the eyes of the person dressed by Brother Young Master shine brightly, almost snatching away the ox-shaped jade pendant, putting it in front of his eyes for a long time to observe carefully, the gaze in his eyes is getting more and more greedy.

When the young master finally took his eyes off the ox-shaped jade pendant reluctantly, he had no intention of returning the ox-shaped jade pendant to Lu Jihe, and still held the ox-shaped jade pendant firmly in his palm.

He turned his eyes around Lu Jihe's body, focused on his waist and hands, and saw nothing. First he shook his head regretfully, then patted Lu Jihe's shoulder pretending to be grand, and made a special gesture. With a sighing tone, "I never thought Brother Sheng would have experienced such setbacks. I am a few years older than you, and you call me Big Brother Chen. If anyone bullies you on Qizhen's territory, you can come to Tongpan Mansion to find him." Chen Meng."

The middle-aged man behind Young Master coughed softly, but unfortunately he didn't get any response.

Lu Jihe's eldest Zhong Lingyuxiu didn't have time to pull out his figure, and when he was willing to put down his figure to coax others, he looked very cute.In addition, he is well-informed and has an extraordinary conversation. He was flattered and grew up, and he knows how to coax people best.In just a few words, Chen Meng was coaxed into a happy smile. He wished he could make friends with Lu Jihe on the spot. He didn't even remember the purpose of knocking on the door in the first place.

The middle-aged man failed to respond to repeated reminders, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "My lord, when I went out, the judge told me to ask a few words, can I ask now?"

As soon as Chen Meng finished saying that he wanted to cover Lu Jihe, he was framed here by the middle-aged man. He was immediately unhappy, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's order, so he could only talk to the bewildered Lu Jihe stiffly. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said soothingly, "Because you are strangers, it is customary to ask some questions. Don't be afraid, just tell the truth. I'm here, and no one will dare to embarrass you."

The middle-aged man acted as if he didn't feel Chen Meng's sharp eyes, and looked at Song Peiyu with a solemn look.

He had just discovered that when that boy who was especially good at talking coaxed the eldest son, he would always look at this person called Shengyu. Presumably it was Shengyu who had the final say in this group of people.

"I heard the owner of the pharmacy say that you have bought a lot of medicinal materials recently." According to the description of the pharmacy owner, the middle-aged man locked his eyes on Bo Yang, and suddenly asked sharply, "What do you mean by hoarding medicinal materials?"

Bo Yang was the one who saved his life from the hands of Emperor Yonghe, how could he be frightened by a little-known little man in the small town of Qi, but he still acted panic-stricken and cast his eyes on Song Peiyu.

He was clumsy and tongue-twisting, and it would be right to leave these questions to Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe.

Song Peiyu smiled wryly, and explained, "We lost all the emergency medicine we carried with us on the way to escape. We inevitably felt uneasy, so we bought more on purpose. If it affects other people in Qizhen's medicine, we are willing to give it to you." Return unused herbs to the shop."

The middle-aged man was not so easy to talk to. He glanced at Chen Meng, and he had some scruples after all. He smiled and said, "It won't affect other people's medication. You can show us the medicinal materials. As long as you don't resell the medicinal materials , it’s nothing. After all, you are friends of the eldest son.”

Song Peiyu raised a smiling face and said in surprise, "Really? I'll go get it now."

Bo Yang lowered his head firmly, afraid that his face would reveal a flaw.

When he bought the medicine, he was careful, and he still remembered to buy some of each kind of medicine, so he didn't reveal the prescription of Chongyi, but that's all.

When Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe were dealing with those useless medicinal materials, he still laughed that they were just looking for trouble, but now he has to admire Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe's foresight.

"Don't bother." The middle-aged man fixed his gaze on the faces of the four young men, "We'll just follow you to take a look. I just happened to bring the list with me."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man took out a piece of paper full of handwriting from his sleeve.

Song Peiyu nodded with her usual expression, and the smile on her face was even more relaxed, "That's good, it saves you from waiting for a long time, and saves us from tossing and going back and forth with those medicinal materials."

After finishing speaking, Song Peiyu pulled Chong Yi's sleeves and walked ahead, leading everyone to the kitchen.

Chen Meng has been a little absent-minded since he took the bull-shaped jade pendant from Lu Jihe. It seems that he doesn't want to waste any more time here, and looks outside the door frequently.

Contempt flashed in Lu Jihe's eyes, and he suddenly lowered his head and wiped away his tears, showing his innocence and ignorance to the fullest, "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have agreed to their coaxing, and secretly came out to play behind my family's back. My father is just like me." A son, in case of a sudden illness, or thinks that I am dead, what should I do if he gives me an adoptive brother and won't look for me."

Chen Meng came back to his senses in an instant. He stroked the high-quality jade pendant in his hand and asked, "Are you the only child? What does your family do?"

Lu Jihe lowered his head and chased the servant of the Tongpan Mansion who had already gone to the kitchen, and said in a muffled voice, "Where do you need to make a living? The things left by our ancestors are enough."

Family? !

Chen Meng quickly raised his heels to follow Lu Jihe, thinking that his eyes were very covert to look at Lu Jihe. Before, he only thought that Lu Jihe was pleasing to the eye and could speak, but now he looked carefully and saw the difference.

The clothes this person is wearing are not very expensive, even in Qizhen, they are not conspicuous, but it makes people unconsciously focus on him, full of the natural aura of a nobleman.And it seemed that he didn't care about the bull-shaped jade pendant that was taken away, otherwise such an innocent person would definitely show it on his face, how could he reveal his thoughts to him again?

That is, he is still wary of him and has lied. I am afraid that this bull-shaped jade pendant is just one of the popular accessories, rather than a meaningful birthday gift.

With this thought in mind, Chen Meng looked past Lu Jihe to look at the other people.

The reputation of leading the way is more mature than Shengxing's temperament, but it adds a bit of flinching for no reason, and he can make a smile when facing mere government officials, unlike Shengxing who can face him neither humble nor overbearing.Presumably, although he is the elder brother of Shengxing, his status is not as good as that of Shengxing.

It's a pity for Sheng Sheng, it would be great if such an appearance can be grown on a girl's face, even if he can't marry a woman of unknown origin, it's not a problem to find a concubine he likes. .

Sheng Mao is less useful than Sheng's reputation. The pharmacy shopkeepers described him as the one who went to the pharmacy to buy a lot of medicines. What are the six arts of a gentleman who are learned by serious family members? Who would study Qihuang?I guess it's just a running errand.

Chen Meng, who thought he had seen through the 'Sheng Brothers', finally came to the conclusion that there must be something good about these people, and if he could find the family members of these people and get a 'thank you', he would post it!

Opening the door of the kitchen, a strong smell of medicine came out.

The middle-aged man who asked Song Peiyu before stopped vigilantly, "Have you boiled the medicine?"

Song Peiyu graciously raised his brocade-bound wrist, and lifted up his sleeves to let the middle-aged man see the wound on his arm, explaining lightly, "I was slightly injured when I was fleeing. I boiled a few medicines by myself. Otherwise, we wouldn't have stockpiled so many medicines."

While speaking, Song Peiyu had already held his wrist, instructing Chongyi to move out all the medicinal materials piled up in the kitchen.

The middle-aged man counted the herbs that Chong Yi brought out expressionlessly, and looked at Song Peiyu with a frown, "Only these?"

Song Peiyu lowered her head shyly, her expression became embarrassing, and said in a low voice, "When we were at home, we never boiled the medicine by ourselves. The first few times it was mushy, and there was a lot of wasted medicinal materials. But the dregs of the medicine are still there. If you want to see it, I'll find it again."

After listening to Song Peiyu's explanation, the middle-aged man's tense face eased a little, and he asked Song Peiyu to find out the medicine dregs as well.

Seeing this, Chen Meng waved his hand nonchalantly at the middle-aged man, "I am sympathetic with the Sheng brothers, so you don't have to make things difficult for them. If I were to cook the medicine myself, I would definitely not succeed once."

Lu Jihe heard the words and complained in a low voice about why the medicine is so difficult to cook. These days, Bo Yang has been watching the medicine every day, and he can complain to the point, which makes the middle-aged man's face more and more serious. Relax, but still insist on seeing the medicine residue.

After a while, Song Peiyu commanded Chong Yi and Ping Zhang to drag out many water tanks and jars.

Some of them are filled with medicinal materials that are full of burnt smell and whose original shape cannot be seen at all.

Some contained recognizable medicinal herbs that had been boiled, soaking in clear water.

The middle-aged man showed the person who identified the medicinal materials. Those medicinal materials that were full of burnt smell could not be identified at all. For Chen Meng's sake, the middle-aged man did not delve into it.

The medicinal materials in the clear water are easy to identify, and those who identify the medicinal materials quickly concluded that these are the medicinal materials that can be used to strengthen the root and cultivate the essence or to make tranquilizing medicine.

Adding up the herbs and dregs used, the total can just match the list in the middle-aged man's hand.

"Why are these medicinal materials soaked in clear water after they have been used? Did you think that the Tongpan Mansion would come to check and leave them for us?" Without a smile, he stared at Song Peiyu with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through Song Peiyu.

Panic flashed across Song Peiyu's face, and she took half a step back.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man took a few steps forward, approaching Song Peiyu, and was about to grab Song Peiyu's shoulder to continue questioning, but was grabbed by the wrist with a strong force, and his face instantly became distorted due to severe pain.

"Uh!"

After Chong Yi let go, the middle-aged man's wrist was already swollen.People around gasped, staring dumbfoundedly at Chong Yi who was half a head taller than them, but still looked like a woman disguised as a man.

How strong is this?
