After wearing lotus essence

Shang Cizhou, the emperor, has been in office for seven years. In seven years, he almost renovated the entire poor and weak business.

What Li Suichuan said is not false at all. This bustling and prosperous Huachao Festival is not only limited to the people of Dashang, Rong Mu even saw a few red-haired foreigners performing a variety of operas, changing flowers, and blowing fire. , become a living person.

Baixi is similar to modern magic.

He stood and looked at it for a while, and felt that it was really boring compared to modern times, so he went to the crowded place.

In order to coax the vinegary emperor, Rong Mu had no choice but to come to the Wan Guo Bazaar at the Huachao Festival to see if anyone here would bring real lotus flowers from outside... If not, he would operate it in secret.

Yuhu's buds are all cubs, they can't be broken before they grow up, and it's even more impossible to go home to squeeze his Bi Jiangxue, but Shang Cizhou is really pitiful, when Rong Mu thinks of the other party's lonely pair Eyes, my heart feels a little uncomfortable.

How can a person talk about a flower for more than ten years?

Looking at Ting Zhi Que, I don't know whether this person is heartless or long-term.

The most important thing is that Shang Cizhou talked about lotus, but he is also a lotus... It always feels very subtle.

"Customer, this is not allowed! I don't sell it! You go away—"

Rong Mu stopped in his tracks and looked towards a small stall near the river. He saw a man in his thirties rushing away with an angry look on his face. .

He didn't see clearly what the other party was selling, it seemed to be some exquisite small wooden carvings, surrounded by luxuriously dressed young masters and ladies.

Rong Mu was about to leave when he heard a voice of dissatisfaction: "Why are you big businessmen so overbearing and unreasonable? A group of bumpkins who have never seen a lotus flower - I told you that I will not sell this flower." , if it weren't for today's holiday, I wouldn't have taken out the flowers!"

what flower?

lotus? !

It's really effortless to find nowhere to go after breaking through the iron shoes!

Rong Mu was immediately excited, could it be that he is really "blessed and deeply bound" as Shang Cizhou said?

He hurriedly stepped forward, and gently pushed aside the surrounding crowd. The young master who surrounded him turned his head angrily, and a face of astonishment came into his eyes.

He was stunned, and unconsciously stepped aside, Rong Mu apologized to him, and then squeezed to the front.

The man seemed so angry that he stopped setting up the stall, and he seemed to pack up his things and prepare to leave.

Rong Mu hurriedly stopped him: "Scholar, wait!"

The man looked at him, and was about to scold again, when he turned dumb at the handsome face caught off guard.

"...Uh, you, no matter what you say, I won't sell this lotus!"

Rong Mu said with some embarrassment: "If you have something to discuss, the big businessman has never seen a lotus flower. He is no more favored by this flower than you Nandai."

The man's expression improved a lot after hearing this, and he said proudly: "Of course, my king is virtuous under his rule. After he ascended the throne, he ordered not to sell lotus flowers to big merchants. If I can bring this plant out, then I don't know how many official documents and approvals have passed..."

The faces of the passers-by were slightly subtle, and Rong Mu also paused for a moment, wondering if he should continue the communication.

But the man took another look at Rong Mu and said: "Young Master doesn't look like this big businessman."

Rong Mu was stunned for a moment: "...Yes, I should be from the southern generation, and I was kidnapped and sold to this big merchant since I was a child."

Many people around were paying attention to Rong Mu's crushing mortal face. Hearing this, they immediately started to comfort him. Rong Mu hurriedly stopped them, and carefully suggested to the woodcarving merchant: " I know that this flower is extremely important to you, but there is a terminally ill patient in my family, he wants to see the already blooming Nandai lotus with a sigh of relief, if I can't find it this time, I'm afraid I will be beaten and scolded by him again abuse..."

Rong Mu sighed, "Look, can this matter be more accommodating? If you agree, just stay at Dashang's address, and within seven days, I will definitely return you ten times the lotus plants to keep you alive." That kind!"

The man was sympathetic at first, but now he has a look of distrust: "This young man can't speak big words. As we all know, who can grow lotus alive in Dashang? You took my lotus today, and my lotus I'm afraid the sick wife will die soon—"

Rong Mu was only trying to test his words before, but now he couldn't help saying: "Sick wife?"

"Yes... I only come here to make a living because my sick wife needs to seek medical treatment in Dashang. Without this flower, she will really die, alas!"

Rong Mu was silent: "I don't know what disease your wife is suffering from?"

"...It's vomiting blood." The man's face was ashen, and he didn't want to say more: "This disease is mostly acquired by people in the southern generation. It can be cured in the early years, but it can't be cured these years. She can only treat it all day long. Looking at the lotus flower, I am in awe."

Someone was busy asking: "Why can't it be cured?"

The man wiped his face and said, "That's why a lot of lotus seeds are used as medicine for the disease. Without this taste, the pills made will not work at all!"

Rong Mu froze on the spot.

He thought of some basic common sense, it seems that lotus is indeed a very important traditional Chinese medicinal material, which has the effect of nourishing the heart and nourishing the spleen, raising yang and stopping bleeding.

The man went on to say: "My king is virtuous and loves the people very much. There is only one thing that has been strictly prohibited since he ascended the throne... that is, it is not allowed to sell lotus, let alone use lotus as medicine. Anyone who violates the order All of them will be dispatched to Yunyou Mountain in the Southern Dynasty to build the royal tomb."

Rong Mu suddenly took a breath.

Well, why is this Nandai Wang so much like a lotus fanatic...?

It is said that he came out from the Nandai Wang. Shang Cizhou abducted the precious flower buds raised by the Nandai Wang himself. With the Nandai Wang's treacherous behavior, how could it be so peaceful for so long?

The situation is different... It seems like he is sitting still, just waiting for the opportunity to take a big bite back.

The businessman consciously talked a little too much, so he quickly turned the conversation back and said: "So no matter what the young master says, I can't sell this flower. I put it here today just to get a good fortune. I didn't expect to be surrounded by so many people." Come up."

Rong Mu took a breath slowly, and looked at the man with lake-like eyes: "Don't worry, I just ask you, if you had to choose between this flower and your wife, who would you choose?"

Without hesitation, the boss said, "Of course it's my wife!"

Rong Mu breathed a sigh of relief: "Originally, seeing that you really don't want to sell, I didn't want to entangle you anymore, but if you choose your wife, maybe we can cooperate with each other."

The man froze, staring at Rong Mu in a daze.

"...You, what do you mean? Do you have a solution?"

Rong Mu nodded slightly: "How many lotus seeds do you want?"

The man subconsciously said: "To cure the symptoms of vomiting blood, at least three bags are needed!"

Rong Mu asked again: "How big is the bag?" It's too big for him to handle...

The boss's breath became short of breath, and he said urgently, "As long as it's the size of a lucky bag! Three bags are enough!"

Rong Mu's eyes swept over the lotus plant in the southeast corner of the stall. The flower was still alive and well kept in a small vat, but compared to his plump and healthy Bi Jiangxue, this poor little one seemed to be malnourished.

However, it is such a small lotus that he doesn't like very much, but it is the spiritual pillar and even the medicinal material for countless southern generations.

The king of the Southern Dynasty loved the people like a son, but he was so ruthless only here, which shows how much he attaches importance to the lotus!

Rong Mu said in his heart that it was difficult, he was in Dashang now, and Bi Jiangxue was arguing day and night to live in the Yuhu mansion, so it would be impossible to return to Nandai Wang's side in a while.

But Bi Jiangxue's cheating is not a difficult task, what is even more difficult is the great merchant king behind it.

Shangci daylight has two Jingdu guards, not counting the other troops and the sharp knives that secretly kill people.

The King of the Southern Dynasties does not seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp. The two countries have lived in peace and recuperation for seven years. If these two people are torn apart because of him, the consequences will be unimaginable——

Rong Mu came back to his senses, suppressed these bad guesses secretly, reached out to the boss and asked for three cloth bags containing wooden carvings, which also looked like the size of a lucky bag.

While taking the pouch, he lowered his eyes and said, "After your wife is cured, are you going back to your home country?"

The boss said: "That's natural!"

Rong Mu raised his eyes and looked at him: "You can pass the government's many approvals. I think you have some skills. I have a way to cure your wife. You must not only give me this lotus, but also do one thing for me. Don't worry." , it's not very difficult."

The man's face turned red with excitement: "As long as you don't lie to me, I will definitely agree to your request!"

Rong Mu looked at him seriously and said: "I want you to find a way to deal with the officials of the Nandai after you return to the country. You don't need to do anything else, just hint that their big business is no longer what it used to be...you just say , Da Shang can also grow lotus, understand?"

As long as the king of the Southern Dynasty knows that the big merchants can grow lotus, even if he hears the complaints from the previous few, he will definitely sit still and observe for a while. The time between this is enough for him and Shang Cizhou to figure out the two entanglement between people.

The man's eyes suddenly stared: "Da Shang can grow lotus?! Are you lying to me?"

Rong Mu laughed, "You don't believe me?"

Not to mention that the boss doesn't believe it, even the big merchants around him don't believe it, Rong Mu sighed, holding the small bag in one hand, and pretending to dig into the cuff with the other hand, he only grabbed a small handful for the first time, The back seems to be more and more familiar, every time I stretch out my hand, there will be lotus seeds as white as pearls in the white palm.

The lotus seeds were as plump as jade, and each one was shiny, making the eyes of the man opposite him straight.

The people around also exclaimed, they never expected that this beautiful young man could take out so many precious lotus seeds with ease.

Rong Mu filled three big bags for him, and asked, "Is that enough for big brother? Not enough for me and—"

The man's originally excited red face gradually turned pale. He looked at Rong Mu as if he was looking at a god who came down to save his life.

"...I don't know your lord's name?" the man asked with a trembling voice.

Rong Mu wanted to say his name directly, but he was worried about what these straightforward ancients would do if they wanted him to repay his favor, so he changed his mind and said: "My name is Rong Tingzhi, today I am not helping you, we are asking for each other's needs, you don't have to worry about it." If you have a burden, just use these things to save your wife, and I will also use your lotus flowers to comfort the sick at home."

As he said, he handed over the hand, and wanted to pass the bag in his hand directly, but saw the man kneel down with a plop, and stretched his hands above his head: "This reward is so precious, it should be remembered forever! Come to Nandai, just look for me in the capital, I am from the capital!"

Rong Mu snapped his fingers, and told himself to get used to it, so that's where it is. If these Nandai people know that he is a lotus flower, he will not be snatched home and confessed... Oops.

What an annoyance.

That Shang Cizhou probably really cried aloud.

Rong Mu took the small flower vat given to him by the other party, lovingly stroked the top of the buds, green and white light spots poured out silently, and the little lotus blossomed instantly.

After he finished his work, he turned around and left in the crowd without hesitation, like a cloud untouched by the secular world, the people around him unconsciously made way for him, most of them stared at his figure infatuatedly.

Yuan Chuo also looked at Rong Mu with red eyes, and at a certain moment, he seemed to see the shadow of the King of Nandai on this young master——

With such a magnanimity, is he really a person who is insulted and scolded at will?Who would have the heart to treat him like that?

But Yuan Chuo knew that now he had nothing left to treat his wife in Dashang, unlike what he did in Nandai, he might be able to help this son...

Rong Mu used a lot of spiritual power tonight, he only walked quickly, he wanted to bring back lotus flowers to the troublesome Emperor Shang, completely oblivious to the fact that wherever he passed, the buds on the roadside were all rushing to each other Blooming, blooming to the extreme, the overripe flowers will fall off the best-looking and most fragrant petals, chasing the footsteps of the young man in front of them in a whirl.

At first, not many people noticed this kind of vision, until a short child passing by exclaimed: "Ah!"

Only then did the people around gradually look over.

Rong Mu was also startled by the sound, he turned his head to look, and saw the child pointing at the sole of his feet with a look of surprise: "Mother! Mother! These petals are following this brother!"

The woman next to her was also taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the soles of Rong Mu's feet.

Rong Mu hugged the malnourished little lotus, and took two steps back helplessly. This step back was not a big deal, and more people around looked over. Everyone is wrapped up.

Someone began to whisper: "Why does the sole of his feet seem to be glowing when he walks..."

"Yeah, did you see it too? I looked at the bottom of his feet as if he was stepping on something..."

Rong Mu knew that he was not a serious person, but he didn't know what additional effect Bi Jiangxue's gradual desire to have a meeting would bring to him. Looking at it, Rong Mu backed away unconsciously in a little panic, and then bumped into a shelf with colorful clothes hanging on it with a bang.

Some people leaned down from the nearby restaurants and pavilions to watch the excitement. He lowered his head in a flustered expression, and saw that every time he took a step, a faint lotus pattern would appear under his feet.

Rong Mu: "...?!"

At the same time, the hot and cold feeling all over his body just now invaded more and more, and the first thing that caught the brunt of the wind was the long black hair that was windless and automatic.

This time the situation was too strange and abnormal, causing the young master upstairs to exclaim incessantly.

"Brother Xiahou, come and see!"

Xia Houyan approached boredly, and with a flick of her eyes, she saw a very familiar figure.

The boy supported the shelf behind him with his arms, and was extremely helpless under the surprised eyes of half a street.

Xia Houyan glanced at it, then suddenly thumped the window citron, and rarely cursed rudely.

People around: "Brother Xiahou, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Houyan's face was ugly: "Where did Li Suichuan go? Wasn't he still here just now?" If something happened to this person below, they wouldn't have to live anymore!

Xia Houyan thought of her father's instructions before leaving the house today, and Li Suichuan's hint, and immediately called a few long-ling guards who were waiting in secret to go downstairs, but at this moment, no one thought that there was a cloud-piercing arrow that shot across the sky. Countless people roared towards them with the sound of piercing through the air.

Xia Houyan's pupils constricted suddenly for a moment, but it was too late, and she watched the arrow head towards Rong Mu—but it was nailed to the thin rope hanging the colorful clothes by her side with a bang.

The large and gorgeous colorful clothes fell in response to the sound, and the people around took a breath, marveling at the terrifying precision of this arrow technique.

Rong Mu's mind is chaotic, as if on fire, the energy he posted with Bi Jiangxue before going out today seems to have been exhausted, and instead, the main body will occupy the mind of this body!

However, this was not the thing that frightened him the most. In his sight, his original long hair was blowing up with the wind. One second it was as black as a crow's feathers, and the next second it shone into his eyes and turned into snow white. color.

The whiteness spread from the root of the hair to the end of the hair. The crimson purple that was originally covered by the dark black also broke into the eyes in this white strand, gradually connecting with the silver strand.

One or two, countless.

His pupils looked black at first glance, but in the depths, there was a rich and chaotic deep purple, like the most delicate and fragile colored glaze.

Rong Mu heard someone calling him in a daze, looked up suddenly, and saw at the end of the crowd a hundred meters away, Yuan Chuo, who had just accepted his lotus seeds to treat his wife's illness, held a longbow in his hand, with an arrow behind his back, and shouted at him in shock: "Young Master Tingzhi, let's go!"

Rong Mu took a deep breath, endured the burning in his heart and bent down to pick up the large and gorgeous colorful clothes on the ground, put on the hood embroidered with gold and silver threads, and pulled off the flower mask on the side of his head. Zhu Liusu shook violently, and he ran into the dark alley in an instant.

Countless petals curled up behind the young man, and finally couldn't catch up with the discouraged one, and fell to the ground in red, yellow, green and blue colors, like a long carpet leading to the throne.

Gorgeous to the weird, but also seductive to the extreme.

Xia Houyan looked at what happened almost instantly, and the red armored guards around her obviously hadn't reacted yet.

Until someone opened his mouth and murmured: "Master, I am not dreaming, I seem to see..."

Xia Houyan gasped and patted him: "You are just dreaming, hurry up and find that hapless Li Suichuan, if you lose this master today, you and I will see you at the Meridian Gate Dharma Ground!"
