King's Landing [Rebirth]

Jiangcheng lives by water, surrounded by rivers in the city. It is the spring season in February, and the branches of weeping willows are covered with buds, like small green flowers.When Jiang Shengxue went out, she didn't like to be surrounded by people behind her, so she only brought Wen Yao with her. Unintentionally, they all lurked in the dark and didn't show up easily.

After a night's rest, Wen Yao's energy was much better, and he was no longer as sick as he was on the boat.Dangers abounded in Jiangcheng. As Jiang Shengxue's personal bodyguard, he naturally did not dare to relax his vigilance.

Jiang Shengxue knew his temper, so she didn't talk to him about those useless nonsense, but just took him to play in the streets and alleys.

Jiangcheng's rouge and gouache are superb, and Jiang Shengxue's daughter has a temperament. Although she seldom dresses up on weekdays, she is always curious when she sees these things.In addition to the direction Wuxin pointed them to, the whole street was selling rouge, gouache, clothes and jewelry.A faint fragrance lingered in the street, and for a moment people couldn't tell what it was.

Jiang Shengxue looked around and found it interesting.She looked at it a lot but didn't buy it. Wen Yao asked her if she didn't like it.

Jiang Shengxue shook her head, she just didn't like dressing up.But since Wen Yao asked her all the time, Jiang Shengxue thought about it, looked at Wen Yao and said, "I really don't like it, why don't you choose for me."

Wen Yao blushed, and stammered, "I won't."

Jiang Shengxue covered her lips with a smile and said: "There is no skill in choosing something, only whether you like it or not. You just stand here and take a look at it. We will go to that store if we like it. When we enter the door, we will look at it." We buy whatever the first thing is."

Wen Yao felt something was wrong, Jiang Shengxue put her hands on her hips and said, "You will listen to me if you say so."

Wen Yao had no choice but to look around as Jiang Shengxue said, pointing to the jewelry shop not far away, Jiang Shengxue just took a look and dragged Wen Yao over.

The jewelry store was small in scale, and it was a little deserted in the busy street. There was no one in the store, only a shopkeeper with an anxious expression was walking around the room.Seeing that Jiang Shengxue and Wen Yao came to the door, they didn't see any joy, and there was a flash of impatience in their expressions, but they quickly suppressed it and put on a smiling face, and came over and said, "What do you two want to order? Our shop is too small. But the workmanship is exquisite, and the jewelry is readily available."

When Jiang Shengxue stepped through the door and saw the change in the shopkeeper's expression, he felt a little regretful. The shopkeeper must have encountered difficulties and had no intention of doing business. Their visits did not bring him money, but made him more anxious.But the word for Wen Yao to choose something has already been said, and Jiang Shengxue didn't want to talk back like this, so she had to tug Wen Yao and said, "Choose."

Wen Yao showed a helpless expression, it seemed that he was not so willing, but in fact he was very happy.He didn't do anything foolish this time, but carefully looked at the items in the jewelry store, and found a pair of bracelets.It was a pair of white jade bracelets, the jade was smooth and smooth, with a gentle and delicate texture.

Jade and beauty are a perfect match.

Wen Yao smiled and asked the shopkeeper to hand him the pair of bracelets.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised that Wen Yao had chosen this item, and hurried over to fetch it.

The jade bracelet was placed in a box with a soft red cloth under it. Jiang Shengxue took a look and couldn't help laughing.She did not expect Wen Yao to have such a good eye, and the jade bracelet is exquisitely crafted and very beautiful.

"Shopkeeper, we want this, you wrap it up for us." Seeing that Jiang Shengxue liked it, Wen Yao decided to buy it.

The shopkeeper nodded and closed the box, then turned to find silk to wrap the things up.Jiang Shengxue's eyes fell on the wooden box engraved with the moonlight of a lotus pond, and he was stunned when he saw a familiar symbol.

"Wait..." Jiang Shengxue pressed the box, and was about to ask where it came from, when she saw a doctor lift the curtain of the side hall and come out, with a helpless expression on his face, he cupped his hands at the shopkeeper and said: " Shopkeeper, the little old man is useless, you'd better hire someone else."

The shopkeeper's face turned pale, he froze in place, his body wobbled and almost fell down.

Jiang Shengxue and Wen Yao looked at each other, when the doctor left just now, the two of them smelled a very faint smell of blood.Someone in this shop was injured, and it looked like he was seriously injured. No wonder the shopkeeper had such an expression when they came in.

The shopkeeper calmed down, walked up to Jiang Shengxue and Wen Yao, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have something to close the door early, so I won't pack this for you, if you like it, you can take it. "

"The shopkeeper is polite, we interrupted." Wen Yao took off the purse to pay the bill while talking, they are newcomers, it is not appropriate to provoke disputes, it is better to leave here as soon as possible.

The shopkeeper had no intention of doing business, and asked Wen Yao and the others to take the things away after he reported the number casually.Jiang Shengxue held the box, looked at the deformed pattern on it, showing hesitation.

From western Yunnan to Qiandong and then to Jiangnan, the sign of this person will always appear in places related to craftsmanship, and the span is so wide that Jiang Shengxue became curious about his origin.But Liang Jian refused to say much, only said that she wanted to see him.

Jiang Shengxue didn't know if Jiangcheng was the end point, she just had an intuition that this box could give her the answer, or this shop could give her the answer.This thought came so strongly and suddenly that she couldn't ignore it even if she stepped out of the shop, she suddenly felt uneasy.

Jiang Shengxue stopped at the door of the shop, holding the wooden box tightly in her hand, she looked back at the shop, and said with determination: "Let's go back."

Wen Yao stretched out his hand to stop her without thinking, and said: "No, no matter how big the matter is, it's not as important as you. The doctor is helpless and bloody. The injury of that person is unusual, I can't let you take risks."

Jiang Shengxue looked at the box in her hand, touched the pattern, and said, "I want to ask for an answer, and I also want to help Brother Liang. Besides, don't you still have you? I believe you can protect me, as long as you I'm not afraid when I'm around."

Jiang Shengxue looked at Wen Yao with a smile on her face. She entrusted all of her wealth and life to Wen Yao's hands. She believed that this man would not harm her in the slightest.

Facing Jiang Shengxue's smiling face, Wen Yao was stunned, and said seriously: "I will protect you with my life."

"Fool, I don't want you to protect me with your life." Jiang Shengxue's face showed a blush, and she lowered her head, "I want you to protect me with your life. You are not allowed to die even if I live for a day."

Compared with protection, what Jiang Shengxue wants is a guardian who will carry him to the old, but he doesn't know if he is a fool when he says that.Jiang Shengxue quietly raised her head and glanced at Wen Yao. Wen Yao scratched her face, probably not realizing the difference in these words, and replied according to her own understanding: "I listen to Miss."

Jiang Shengxue slumped her shoulders helplessly, thinking that she should be more straightforward next time.

She sighed in her heart, and quickly pulled herself together, pulled Wen Yao back to the shop door, blocked the door that the shopkeeper was about to close, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, the little girl has a little bit of medical skills, why don't you let me try."

The shopkeeper paused, and looked at the two people who had gone back and forth in surprise, with a faint smile on his face, which seemed a little perfunctory: "I don't know what the girl is talking about."

"The doctor who left just now was full of blood, and the one inside must have been seriously injured. Judging by the shopkeeper's appearance, he must have invited many doctors, but they were all helpless. You might as well show me that I just arrived here yesterday. Traveler, I don’t know the place well, and I’ll be leaving in two days, so the shopkeeper doesn’t have to worry about what I’ll say.”

The shopkeeper's vigilance made Jiang Shengxue believe that this matter was not easy, but the more so she wanted to go in, the more she wanted to go in, which had never happened before.

The shopkeeper still didn't trust Jiang Shengxue, so he withdrew his smile and said, "Since he's just passing by, why would he come to this muddy water?"

"Because I have something to ask the shopkeeper, let me make a deal with you." Jiang Shengxue raised the box in his hand and said, "I want to know where you got this thing from."

The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, but he quickly covered it up and said perfunctorily, "This kind of box is very common here, I don't know what you are asking for."

Jiang Shengxue raised her eyebrows, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she looked at the shopkeeper deeply and said, "How does the shopkeeper know that I'm talking about the box, not what's in the box? I bought a bracelet, but you're thinking about the box. It seems that we can do this deal."

The box containing the bracelet is indeed very ordinary, and the carvings are not so unique, Jiang Shengxue wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for the extra logo.She just said that she was defrauding the shopkeeper by only saying that she didn't mention the box, but she didn't expect that the other party really had a clue.

The shopkeeper knew he had been duped, and his complexion darkened. He glanced vaguely at Wen Yao behind Jiang Shengxue, and secretly estimated his chances of winning.

"Shopkeeper, you have to think clearly, you promise me that maybe the people inside may still have a chance." Jiang Shengxue said calmly, with a confident look, she was never afraid of medical skills.

There was a flash of struggle in the shopkeeper's eyes, and his eyes fell on the box in Jiang Shengxue's hand, hesitating for a moment and said: "What are you doing looking for this box?"

Jiang Shengxue's expression softened, and she said softly: "I want to find someone for my brother, he really wants to see that person."

The shopkeeper gave Jiang Shengxue a strange look. Jiang Shengxue said that she was looking for someone, but her focus was not on that person, but on her brother.After thinking about it, the shopkeeper decided to let Jiang Shengxue and the others come in.

There is a small building in the backyard of the jewelry shop, which is quiet and elegant. The shopkeeper brought Jiang Shengxue and Wen Yao in, and the smell of blood became stronger as he went inside.Jiang Shengxue frowned, and couldn't estimate the severity of this person's injury for a while.

The shopkeeper led them into the inner room, and there was a man lying on the slump, his body was wrapped in bandages to stop the bleeding, but the effect was minimal, and blood still oozes out.What surprised Jiang Shengxue was that this person was still unconscious after being injured like this. He opened his eyes when he heard footsteps, a smile appeared on his pale and weak face, and he said to the shopkeeper, "Amber, where did you invite me this time?" Here comes the divine doctor."

The shopkeeper's eyes turned red in an instant, and he knelt down beside the bed and said, "My lord, it's no use being an old slave."

"If you're useless, I'm already in the Palace of Hades now. I'm sorry to bother you. If it still makes you feel guilty, I won't be safe after I die." People think of the strong spring breeze outside the window.

Jiang Shengxue stood behind the butler, seeing that the young master was determined to die, he hurriedly said: "Isn't it too early for you to be discouraged now, is it that I, a doctor, have been despised before I make a move?"

The woman's voice was confident and clear, like the sound of a tinkling mountain spring, which dispelled a lot of the sadness in the room.Brother Young Master, who didn't take Jiang Shengxue seriously at first, was taken aback, and turned his head to look this way.

The housekeeper hurriedly got up, wiped away his tears and said, "Girl, since you are confident, please help my young master."

Jiang Shengxue took two steps forward to the bedside, and in just a few words, Brother Gongzi's bandages turned red again. Jiang Shengxue was suspicious and took off the bandages.

Brother Young Master was injured on his upper body, and he only wore a pair of obscene trousers all over his body. Once the bandages were untied, his breasts were exposed. The strong physique he had exercised all year round was displayed in front of Jiang Shengxue. Unfortunately, Jiang Shengxue was not in the mood to appreciate it, but stared at him. hurt frown.

Those were two weird knife marks, like a red fork brandishing on Young Master's chest, blood kept oozing out, and the blood rolled around the wound, the medicine bandaged by the doctor before had no effect at all.

The person lying on the bed didn't have the consciousness that he was dying soon, and looked at Jiang Shengxue who was frowning more and more with interest, with a calm expression on his face.

"What a powerful Gu." After a while, Jiang Shengxue uttered a word when the shopkeeper became more and more uneasy.

Brother Young Master's eyes dimmed, but the shopkeeper was stunned and said, "What is it?"

No wonder the shopkeeper was so surprised, Jiangcheng and the west of Yunnan are far apart, some of them may have never seen this thing in their entire lives.

Jiang Shengxue did not answer the shopkeeper's doubts, but looked at the young master solemnly.Unlike the incomprehension of the shopkeeper, Brother Young Master knew from the very beginning that he was being hit by a Gu.

And there is another sentence that Jiang Shengxue didn't say, this Gu didn't come from Qiu Tong, but from the country of Min.

"Girl, can this be saved?" Seeing Jiang Shengxue remained silent for a long time, the shopkeeper felt uneasy.

Jiang Shengxue said to herself: "It's lucky for him, who made me a Gu master."

Although this Gu is powerful, it is not insoluble. The doctors in Jiangcheng find it tricky only because they don't know it. It is much easier if it falls into Jiang Shengxue's hands. Not to mention making the person on the bed alive immediately, it is still possible to save his life.

The shopkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Jiang Shengxue repeatedly.

Jiang Shengxue said: "You don't have to be polite, the shopkeeper. We each take what we need. I just hope that after I cure him, you can send me the news I want."

The shopkeeper's face was slightly stiff, he looked at the person on the bed, and said vaguely: "It should be."

With the guarantee from the shopkeeper, Jiang Shengxue was not talking nonsense, she touched the wristband on her hand, and took out a small cloth strip, which was wrapped with a silver needle.This wristband was naturally the one given by Liang Jian in Qiao County. After Jiang Shengxue used up a sleeve arrow, a space was vacated. Jiang Shengxue put the silver needle in it for easy access.

She didn't have any medicinal materials at the moment and couldn't directly heal the young master's injury, so she could only use silver needles to stabilize his injury and stop his bleeding.

Brother Young Master looked away from Jiang Shengxue's wristband, and looked at Jiang Shengxue in a different way.Jiang Shengxue's needle technique was very fast, and the bleeding tended to stop after a few needles, and the young master's complexion also eased a lot.

The shopkeeper showed joy and said happily, "My lord, you are saved."

Brother Young Master smiled, with a calm expression on his face, and said in his heart: "If even she can't save me, I'm really doomed."

Jiang Shengxue used acupuncture to suppress the Gu poison for the young master, and wrote two prescriptions for the shopkeeper, and ordered one to be applied externally and the other to be taken internally: "He was injured too badly, and he needed to restore his blood to relieve the Gu. These two prescriptions You use it first, as for how to treat it later, it depends on his recovery."

The shopkeeper thanked him repeatedly, but Jiang Shengxue didn't greet him politely, but said, "What's the news I want?"

The shopkeeper paused and said with a smile: "I don't know who the girl is looking for, but I can tell you the origin of the box."

Jiang Shengxue originally had the mentality of giving it a try, but she was not too disappointed, so she nodded and said, "It's okay."

"Wait a minute," the person on the bed suddenly interrupted the transaction between the two of them. He glanced at the shopkeeper, his eyes were calm and emotionless, and then turned to Jiang Shengxue with a slight smile: "The girl is looking for someone Why don’t you tell me, I’ve traveled all over the world for many years, maybe I just happened to know.”

Jiang Shengxue was overjoyed in his heart, but then became dim again, saying: "I only know his name, his name is Zhang Duo, he should be a craftsman, he can forge jewelry and forge weapons, and there will be a specific mark on the things he makes. The pattern, my brother said that the pattern is his name."

"Is that you looking for him or your brother looking for him?" Brother Young Master asked, his gentleness made people feel good.

Jiang Shengxue didn't realize there was anything wrong with this, and replied: "Brother said he wanted to meet him, but he didn't say he wanted to find him. When I was shopping in Guizhou today, I saw the logo on the box, and I wanted to help my brother on a whim. Ask, and let me know if you know."

Brother Young Master smiled, as expected.He looked at Jiang Shengxue who was smiling slightly, and said with a smile: "Then bring him to see me."

Jiang Shengxue was taken aback for a moment, and Brother Young Master said again: "I am Zhang Duo."
