Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

I was a little itchy by Cai Weng's movements, so I couldn't help but reach out and grab it out, "Cai Weng, I know I came back late, so I apologize to you. But now I have something important to tell Master, don't make trouble."

Cai Weng didn't speak, just tilted his head and stared at my back.I had something on my mind, and I didn't care about Cai Weng's strangeness, so I mentioned another matter to the national teacher.

"Master, this disciple got two medicines recently, and I want to ask Master to see if they are poisonous."

I took out the two holy medicines from the copper bell, and the national teacher took the medicines in my hand. After carefully identifying them for a long time, a trace of surprise appeared on his usually calm face, "This is the holy medicine of the Northern Kingdom. Decades ago, I I was lucky enough to see one. When the late emperor was in power, people from the northern country presented it. A year later, the late emperor was poisoned by snakes, and the imperial doctors were helpless. In the end, this holy medicine cured the poison on your late emperor."

The national teacher picked up the black medicine, "As for this—" he then called Cai Weng, who lowered his head and sniffed the black holy medicine, and made a gesture to swallow it.

It was the national teacher who pushed it away with a flick of his hand, so as to avoid accidents.

"Non-toxic." The national teacher returned the medicine to me, along with a map of the underground tunnel.

Before leaving Tianji Palace, I gave a standard salute to the national teacher, with my arms folded and shoulder level, "The disciple bid farewell to the master. After this farewell, I only hope that the master will cherish his body and everything will go smoothly."

The national teacher did not respond to my words, but lightly placed his hand on the top of my head, and then let go, as if there was a sigh.He turned around and stepped into the inner room of the meditation room. I waited until I could no longer see the figure of the national teacher before standing up and looking around.

I have lived here for three years, and it is longer than the time I have been in the palace. Now I am leaving, and once I leave, I will leave completely. This is also a farewell to the capital.

When I was 16 years old, Lin Chongtan and I left Gusu and went to the capital.I still remember the excitement and apprehension in my heart when I first entered the capital, as well as my curiosity about this unknown and prosperous place.

Recalling the past again, it is like a dream in yellow beams, things are different and people are different.

I didn't bring Caiweng directly back to the palace, I wanted to come to Tianji Palace to pick him up when I was about to leave.Bring it back now, for fear of attracting the prince's attention.

For the next few days, I was silently thinking about my plan to leave the capital.This matter is actually very difficult, not only because it is difficult to leave from the secret passage, but also because I have to take the emperor and Concubine Zhuang away.

While planning, I will go out of the palace every day.I went out of the palace to see if anyone was following me, and sometimes I would deliberately go around in circles and ask Song Nan to go around and check again.

Ever since I found out that there was someone from the prince among my personal soldiers, I asked Song Nan to follow me with only cronies. I specifically told him that he must be cronies who can be completely trusted.

After a few days, I found that as long as I leave the palace, there are people behind me.I started to shake off those people on purpose. Sometimes in order to avoid them, I would get out of the carriage, go to a corner, quickly change my robe, and put an umbrella into the crowd.

In the past few days when I was out of the palace, I also discovered another thing.I once witnessed the people in ragged clothes being driven out by the sixteen guards in the city. The people begged to say that they were from the capital, but the recent months of rain flooded his farmland, resulting in no harvest, and the slightly valuable things in the house They all went to the pawn shop to pawn in exchange for food to survive, and the clothes on their bodies were naturally not good enough to wear.

But the sixteen guards didn't listen to him, and tied up people to drive them out of the capital.Not only this case, I saw that many people who were driven out of the capital were designated as refugees just because their clothes were a little tattered.

I looked at those people who were kneeling on the ground begging for sixteen guards, and I unconsciously took a step forward, but I realized that I saved these people, but only for a while, I couldn't save the whole life, and I couldn't save others .

The sixteen guards did this, there must be the order of the prince, and the prince ordered the people below, I guess it has something to do with the throne.

Now that the crown prince is in charge of the country, in order to get all the civil and military officials to support him, he naturally wants to make the capital look as usual, at least not starve to death.

"Master?" Song Nan asked behind him.

I squeezed the umbrella in my hand tightly, and finally couldn't hold back, "We're going out of the city, you will give them some food and money later."

Out of the city, I suddenly thought of a person——

Duan Xinting.

He was imprisoned by me in a house on the outskirts of the city. The last time Nie Wenle saw me, he said that he hadn't been to Duan Xinting's place for a long time, and he didn't know what was going on there.

I was planning to have someone go to Duan Xinting, but then I was locked up by the crown prince, and the matter was delayed.

Thinking of this, I asked Song Nan to drive to Guan Duan Xinting.

Walking to the house on the outskirts of Beijing, the dust on the door knocker revealed that no one had entered or left this place for a long time.The house was quiet, the big tank in the yard contained only sewage, and cobwebs crawled all over the corners.I was about to step into the main house, but Song Nan stopped me first.

"Master, the subordinates should go in first."

I knew what he was worried about. He was afraid that there was a dead body inside and it would scare me.Just as I was about to speak, the door of the main house seemed to be smashed by something, and there was a bang.Song Nan immediately stood in front of me, I was stunned for a moment, then walked out from behind Song Nan, staring at the door of the main house.

Although I didn't see what was hitting the door, since something was hitting the door, it meant that there were living people inside.

My guess was verified after pushing open the door of the main house, but I was still taken aback by what was inside.I couldn't recognize the person inside as Duan Xinting at all. He had messy hair and was skinny. His wrists and ankles exposed by his clothes were so thin that they seemed to snap off.Because of the thinness, the eyes appear bigger, like two black holes embedded in the withered yellow face.

When he saw me, his eyes widened even wider, he first shrank back, and then crawled towards me with hands and feet.With chains on his feet, he couldn't climb very far, and couldn't even touch the door with his hands.

The room behind the door gave off a strong stench so disgusting that I had to cover my mouth and nose with a veil.Duan Xinting didn't seem to be able to smell it, so he stared at those expressionless eyes, lying there, and weakly shouted at me: "Eat... eat..."

Just before leaving the city, I thought I would meet other refugees on the way, so I asked someone to buy some food.There is still a little left, which can also come in handy at this time.

"Give him something to eat." I ordered.

As soon as the food was handed to Duan Xinting, he snatched it away with one hand, but he really didn't have much strength, his hands trembled when he picked up the food, causing the food to accidentally fall to the ground.He made a "hoo hoo" sound, and anxiously picked it up with both hands.

I saw him grabbing the food on the ground and wanting to eat it, so I couldn't help but say, "Don't eat it if it falls on the ground, there's still more in the carriage."

Duan Xinting turned a deaf ear and ate up the food that fell on the ground.After he finished eating, he stretched out his hand to me again, "Please... please, eat! Eat...!"

I pursed my lips and asked someone to bring him food and water again. Duan Xinting finally ate a little slower this time, but I also saw him eat all his dirty fingers in his mouth and lick them clean Clean, as if it is some peerless delicacy.

Song Nan turned slightly, trying to block my view of Duan Xinting, "Master, don't look at it."

I lowered my eyes and said in a low voice: "You find someone to clean up the place and give him a bath. The person who took care of him before should have not been here for a long time. Find someone new."

After I finished speaking, I was about to leave, but at this moment Duan Xinting in the room stopped me.

"Don't... go!" He was so weak that he gasped for breath even after saying a word.He seemed very afraid of me leaving, and his voice was urgent and sharp, "I have... important things... to say."

I had nothing to say to Duan Xinting, so I didn't stop until he said Lin Chongtan's name.

"About Lin... Chongtan! As long as you... let me go, I'll tell you... the truth about that year!"

I stopped in my tracks.

At this time, Xinting seemed to have discovered the hope of leaving here, and he uttered the following words in one breath, "Actually, the person who wants me to kill Lin Chundi is not Lin Chongtan!"
