Sword in the Qin [Comprehensive + Sword III]

"Fish, fish!" Xiaoqinluo clapped her little hands excitedly, slobbering.

"Sister likes to eat fish recently!" Xiaoqintai said helplessly as she stroked Xiaoqinluo's hair.

"Qingqing likes to eat fish, and she will definitely be the smartest little girl in the world." Shangguan Danfeng laughed.

"Will eating fish make you smarter?" Xiaojiluo asked curiously.

"Of course!"

"Then Yuyu and I will also eat more fish, fish soup, fish paste, Zhang San's grilled fish, and sea bass."

"Zhang San grilled fish?" Chu Liuxiang froze for a moment.

"That's right!" Xiao Jiluo said, "Someone stole my bead flowers before, and now they want to be my servant for a month."

"The Zhang San you mentioned is—"

"It's the Kuaiwang Zhang San you know!" Shangguan Danfeng said.

"Zhang San unexpectedly - ah haha, that old boy unexpectedly has such a day." Hu Tiehua laughed loudly.

"I didn't expect you to have such a day!" Zhang San just came back from the outside, saw Hu Tiehua laughing while pressing his chest, and said sullenly.

"What's wrong with me?" Hu Tiehua was confused, "I'm fine!"

"A dying butterfly still taunts me." Zhang San snorted coldly.

Hu Tiehua: ...

They were going to Songjiang Mansion, and they were going in the same direction as King Taiping and his party.However, King Taiping was in a hurry to return to Beijing to return his orders, and he was afraid that he would not go with them.

Before departure, King Taiping was in better spirits, so Yang Suge, Chu Liuxiang and others went to see King Taiping again.Because King Taiping was not in good spirits before, they didn't talk about Wu Ming in depth.Now that King Taiping is better, some things just need to be clarified.

Wu Ming's origin has always been very mysterious, and King Taiping only knew that Wu Ming was the senior brother of the former princess.But before the former princess died, King Taiping didn't even know that the princess knew martial arts, so naturally he didn't know that the princess had a teacher.

Gong Jiu also knew nothing about Wu Ming's origin.After a whole night, Gong Jiu seems to have somewhat believed the truth, although he has not fully accepted it.

Wu Ming is dead, Gong Jiu doesn't have to hide it for him anymore.Since Gong Jiu didn't say anything, then he really didn't know.Although Gong Jiu has many faults, he has one admirable advantage, that is, he keeps his word.

It is the virtue of a gentleman to keep his word, but in fact there are not many people who can really do what they say.We often say that a gentleman's words are hard to follow, and we also say that a gentleman has no jokes.In fact, there are times when the emperor does not count, let alone ordinary people.

But Gong Jiu, as long as he promises, he will definitely do it.

What Chu Liuxiang found in Wu Ming's study not only proved that Wu Ming really wanted to rebel, but was already planning some big things.It was also discovered that Wu Ming was related to many mysterious forces, one of which was actually related to Dongying.

"Do you suspect that Wu Ming is related to Dongying?" King Taiping hesitated.

Chu Liuxiang nodded: "We discovered the correspondence between Wu Ming and the Dongying people. However, none of us can recognize the Dongying characters. The matter is very important, and we dare not ask anyone to read it casually."

"I believe, the Great Xia Chu has given it to his subordinates." Wei Ziyun opened the box and showed it to King Taiping.

King Taiping found the letter from Dongying, frowned and said, "I don't know Dongying's characters, but the seal of this inscription is somewhat familiar."

Dongying's writing, language, and many cultural customs originated from the Han and Tang Dynasties, so they are also accustomed to using seals like the Han people.

"Perhaps the prince has seen it somewhere before." Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but said.

"My king remembered that it was the letter of credence presented by Japan to the imperial court." King Taiping suddenly realized, "Could this seal be—"

"Could it be Toyotomi Hideyoshi, that guy has been trying to invade us." Shangguan Danfeng said.

"Who is Hideyoshi Toyoshira?" King Taiping wondered.

"The emperor of Japan has always been mostly symbolic, and those who hold power are the daimyo and generals below." Shangguan Danfeng said, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi is the actual person in power in Japan."

"As far as this king knows, the current official in Japan should be Oriten Nobunaga!" King Taiping hesitated, "Where did the princess hear about this Toyotomi Hideyoshi?"

"Oh, that Toyotomi Hideyoshi hasn't come out yet! Anyway, someone will soon replace Oda Nobunaga and change his name to Toyoshi Hideyoshi. The Japanese have always had milk and mothers. We are better than him, so he will kneel down Call me Dad. We are weaker than him, so he will come and beat us. Once Toyoshi Hideyoshi unifies Japan, he will definitely use North Korea as a springboard to try to invade our Ming Dynasty." Shangguan Danfeng said angrily.

Hua Manlou and the others were used to Shangguan Danfeng's vulgar words and slang, but King Taiping, Wei Ziyun and Yin Xian were very surprised, but they didn't understand.

Although North Korea is also a white-eyed wolf, but as a peninsula country, it is also quite cannon fodder.The Japanese are ambitious and want to invade the mainland, and every time they want to use North Korea as a springboard.

Among the three major campaigns in Wanli, one of them was the Korean War with Toyotomi Hideyoshi.Toyotomi Hideyoshi tried to invade Daming, and first attacked Daming's vassal North Korea, intending to use it to test Daming and use it as a springboard to further invade Daming.

North Korea is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and the young emperor decisively sent troops to North Korea.This is one of the famous three Wanli signs.It's just that although Daming won, it cost too much money, which can be said to be one of the reasons for Ming's demise.

The fall of the Ming Dynasty was certainly due to the decay of the ruling class, but if it hadn’t been for the arrival of the Little Ice Age, which caused a lot of natural disasters and reduced food production, plus the excessive loss of foreign wars, would the barbarians of Houjin also want to live in the Central Plains?

The replacement of dynasties is inevitable, but the economy developed to the extreme in the Song Dynasty has experienced historical regression because of the Yuan soldiers going south, and it has even lost the strength of the Han family.Capitalism had sprouted in the Ming Dynasty, and the entry of gold after slavery would probably set history back again.

I hate Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and his ilk. Overthrowing the imperial court is powerful, but killing the common people is like cutting melons and vegetables, but facing the tiger and wolf like Hou Jin is like a chicken and a dog.If Li Zicheng hadn't indulged his subordinates in burning, killing and looting after entering Beijing, and had no ability to govern the country, how could he have given Houjin the opportunity to enter the customs?

However, no matter how hateful the Later Jin Dynasty was, it was also merged into the trend of Han culture and digested internally.Thinking about it this way, the Japanese are the most detestable——

"Although I don't know who Toyotomi Hideyoshi is mentioned by the princess, the person who has a relationship with Wu Ming is probably Zhitian Nobunaga." Taiping Wang said, "Dongying and my Ming Dynasty are separated by sea, so I thought it was not a problem. The court has always Put the focus of defense on the north, and now it seems that no enemy should be underestimated."

After King Taiping decided to return to Beijing, he would continue to investigate Wu Ming's matter, and the group of people really rode lightly and quickly on their way.

Yang Suge and the others packed their luggage and went slowly to Songjiang Mansion in a carriage.

On the way, Yang Suge received a letter from Feige from Nangong Ling.It was stated that they were on their way back from suppressing the pirates, and the emperor ordered them to besiege Wuming Island.It's just that for some reason, when they arrived at Wuming Island, they ordered the army to besiege and not attack.

Yang Suge didn't know what the emperor was going to do, so he had to write back to comfort Nangong Ling and wait for the change.

But it is said that Yang Suge and his party walked slowly along the way, and after walking for three days, they finally arrived at the Throwing Cup Villa. They never thought that the outside of the villa turned out to be unusually cold.

Chu Liuxiang is a vagabond, his boat is his safe haven, and Throwing Cup Villa is another place where a vagabond can feel like coming home.At Throwing Cup Mountain Villa, you can always feel the warmth.

Everyone in the Throwing Cup Villa has a joyful and hospitable smile on their faces. Even the doorman who guards the door is so attentive and polite to the guests. Before you walk in the door, you will smell With the aroma of wine, vegetables, fragrance of powder, fragrance of flowers and trees, you will hear the melodious sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, bold laughter, and the crisp sound of clinking glasses.

Although Yang Suge and the others have only been to Throwing Cup Villa once, they also know that Throwing Cup Villa should not be such a quiet place.

"Strange, isn't Grandpa Zuo the most hospitable? Why didn't he even open the door today?" Xiao Jiluo tilted her head and said.

Zuo Qinghou is hospitable, so the gate of Throwing Cup Villa is always open.Although there are servants guarding the door, as long as you are not the enemy of Zuo Erye, you will be treated favorably.

"Did Grandpa Zuo go out?" Mrs. Xiaoqin said, "Grandpa Zuo sent the invitation a month ago, and he didn't know that we would arrive that day."

Last year they didn't come to eat sea bass, Zuo Qinghou has always been quite regretful.So at the end of Xia Xia, they sent invitations, knowing that they might not always be free, and only said that when the autumn wind blows, they would come to Throwing Cup Villa as guests.

Zuo Qinghou likes to be lively, and the Throwing Cup Villa is always full of guests.Whenever they come, Throwing Cup Villa can entertain them.

"Second brother Zuo hasn't traveled far for many years!" Chu Liuxiang said.

Besides, he comes to Throwing Cup every fall.Zuo Qinghou once said that as long as Chu Liuxiang did not come, he would not leave the Throwing Cup Villa in autumn.

"Maybe, what happened to Throwing Cup Villa?" Shangguan Danfeng hesitated.

Is it—

Shangguan Danfeng frowned and said nothing.

"Brother Chu, don't we know if we knock on the door?" Li Hongxiu said, "Even if Second Master Zuo is out, it's impossible for there to be no one at home, right?"

Hu Tiehua was impatient, and before Li Hongxiu finished speaking, he had already gone up to knock on the door.

They knocked for a whole cup of tea before the door opened with a "squeak".

"Grandpa housekeeper, hello!" Mrs. Xiaoqin greeted first, "Do you remember us? We came to the villa last year."

Seeing the smiling faces of Mrs. Xiaoqin and Xiaojiluo, the butler also smiled, but the smile was a bit forced: "It turns out that they are young master Ximen and Miss Xiaoye. The longer they are, the better they look. Old eyes are dim, so don't fail to recognize them. Chu Xiangshuai has also arrived with the owners of Ximen Villa, please come inside!"

The door was not a place to talk. Although everyone had many doubts, they did not speak in a hurry, and followed the old housekeeper into the door.The huge courtyard was actually full of fallen leaves, and no one cleaned it.A gust of autumn wind rolled up the fallen leaves, adding a bit of desolation.

Yang Suge and the others couldn't help but look at each other, knowing that something must have happened at Throwing Cup Villa.

When they saw Zuo Qinghou, everyone was even more surprised.

Yang Suge still remembered that when they met last year, Zuo Qinghou's complexion was still rosy, because he was well maintained, he looked no more than fifty, and he was full of energy.

Now the rosy face has become pale and haggard, with sunken eye sockets.In just one year, Zuo Qinghou, who was in good spirits and did not look old at all, was more than 20 years old.The brows are full of melancholy and sorrow, where is the boldness of the past.

"Grandpa Zuo, are you sick? You need to see a doctor if you're sick." Xiao Jiluo worried.

Zuo Qinghou's reluctant smile turned into a wry smile, and he shook his head.

"Second brother, you..." Chu Liuxiang grabbed Zuo Qinghou's hand, "How are you doing recently?"

"Okay, okay, okay..." Zuo Qinghou said, but tears welled up in his eyes, and he cried bitterly, "But my Pearl——"

A man does not flick his tears lightly. When did Chu Liuxiang see Zuo Qinghou crying, let alone in front of so many people, she couldn't help but be moved: "Mingzhu, how is she?"

"Our young lady has a strange disease and is very sick. She has been lying in bed without eating or drinking for almost a month." The official family accompanied her and wiped her tears.

"No food or drink for a month?" Little Jiluo pouted, "Sister Danfeng, didn't you tell us the story that people can only live for three days without food or drink?"

"If you drink water, you can live for seven days!" Mrs. Xiaoqin added.

Shangguan Danfeng was silent, that's what the scientist said.But in this world, she can't guarantee it.The book also said that Gong Jiu was buried alive by Wu Ming for nine days and nine nights and came out unscathed!

Although Gong Jiu is a weird pervert, who knows if martial arts practitioners can stay hungry longer?Although Zuo Mingzhu is not a martial arts master, she has the title of "Jade Immortal Baby" in the world.

Although everyone knows that this title is partly due to Zuo Qinghou's face, but at least it proves that Zuo Mingzhu also has some martial arts.

No, it seems that this is not the point now, right?The point is that Zuo Mingzhu still played like this!

Xue Xiao's people are all dogs, why does Xue's family village come out to play?

Could it be that Chu Liuxiang had the opportunity to "have a kiss" with the wonderful pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Shijiazhuang?

"Who says it's not? Even if I don't eat or drink for a month, I can't survive, let alone Mingzhu—" Thinking of this, Zuo Qinghou cried more and more sadly.

Zuo Qinghou has such a daughter, she really loves her like a treasure.Zuo Mingzhu can be said to be his lifeblood, if something happens to his daughter, Zuo Qinghou may not survive.

Shangguan Danfeng looked at Zuo Qinghou and hesitated to speak.

Considering that many things were covered by butterflies, she didn't dare to be 100% sure whether Zuo Mingzhu was really sick or had died in a fake.Then, if she tells the truth now, such a haggard Zuo Qinghou, she is a little worried that she will die of anger in one breath.

After all, in Zuo Qinghou's eyes, Zuo Mingzhu is the smartest, most beautiful, well-behaved and obedient daughter in the world.

"Grandpa Zuo, don't be sad, since Mingzhu's sister and aunt are ill, we can just find a doctor to see her!" Xiaoqin comforted her too.

"That's the reason, it's time to ask the doctor to come back for diagnosis and treatment. Could it be that the doctor in Songjiang Mansion is not up to the task?" Yang Suge said worriedly, "Then just ask other doctors. We have a few friends who are also very skilled in medicine. of."

When they came to Songjiang Mansion last year, they also met Zuo Erye's daughter.Gentle and well-behaved, also very filial, is a rare good girl.

"That's right, Second Master Zuo, you see that Master Ximen and Rongrong both know medical skills, why don't you ask them to show Mingzhu first." Hu Tiehua said.

"We have found all the famous doctors in the south of the Yangtze River, but we still can't find out what's wrong with the lady. Some doctors even refused to prescribe the prescription if they got the pulse. Miss, I'm afraid she will die long ago!" the housekeeper sighed.

"It turned out to be a disease of Zhang Jianzhai, the famous genius doctor who judged life and death with one finger?" Chu Liuxiang was a little surprised, but also worried.

Zhang Jianzhai couldn't cure it, and Ximen Chuuxue and Su Rongrong, who didn't specialize in medicine, naturally couldn't do anything about it.

"We have never heard of this genius doctor Zhang!" Xiao Jiluo said, "It must be that his medical skills are not good enough! The most powerful doctor in the world should be my Uncle Qin Feng! Grandpa Zuo, you should send someone to inform us earlier, we can help Please invite me, Uncle Qin Feng."

"Who said that this old man is not good at medicine!" An old man in Chinese clothes with a clear face and bright eyes walked out quickly and sneered coldly as he said this.

"I said it! You are that genius doctor Zhang? You have bad medical ethics!" Xiao Jiluo frowned and said, "Since you can't cure my aunt Mingzhu, you should tell me earlier, don't delay the left Grandpa please ask other doctors!"

Zhang Jianzhai is known as "one finger judges life and death", and he is a well-respected famous doctor wherever he goes, but now he is questioned by a little boy about his poor medical skills, and he is very unhappy.It's just that he still has things to do now, so he doesn't separate himself from the children.

Just as Zhang Jianzhai was about to talk to Zuo Qinghou, Xiaoqin said, "Uncle Qin is in the southwest, it's too far to rush here. But Grandma Lu and Uncle Zhuge are here with us. Grandma Lu is old, but Uncle Zhuge's martial arts Very good, maybe you can go to Songjiang Mansion by riding a fast horse for a day."

"Zhuzi is ignorant! Uncle Zhuge and Grandma Lu? Do you know who this old man is?"

"Hmph~ We don't know who you are? Dr. Zhang didn't hear about it. My uncle Zhuge is the ghost doctor Zhuge Banli. Grandma Lu also has the collapse of Huangquan Road, the broken bridge of Nai River, and the gold medal passed in front of the Ten Emperors Hall—"Dead Man Lu Xiangu, known as "resurrected", as long as Auntie Mingzhu is alive, she can be saved!"

"Lu Xiangu, really?" Zuo Qinghou lost his composure.

Lu Fengzi and Zhuge Banli have only been in Jiangnan for a month, and they spent the first half of the month treating Huamanlou in Baihualou.After Huamanlou recovered, their mother and son went to Qingdao Changge in a low-key way to become the children's doctor of Weishan Academy, so outsiders naturally don't know.

"I'm afraid it's too late!" Zhang Jianzhai sighed.

"Is it okay to invite a ghost doctor within a day?" Hu Tiehua didn't understand what peers look down on, and asked directly.

If it is compared with Lu Fengzi, it is Zhang Jianzhai who has nothing to say.But the ghost doctor Zhuge Banli was ten years younger than him, Hu Tiehua's words greatly offended Zhang Jianzhai.

"Unless you can invite Lu Xiangu here now!" Zhang Jianzhai said with a sullen face.

"Could it be—" Zuo Qinghou's heart suddenly twitched, "Pearl..."

Seeing the weakness of Zuo Qinghou's feet, Shangguan Danfeng's heart softened: "Second Master Zuo, don't be sad, your daughter won't die!"

"Miss Shangguan, do you have a solution?" Zuo Qinghou looked at Shangguan Danfeng expectantly like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw.

"Look, why don't you let Sister Rong and my brother-in-law take a look first, as long as you can hold your breath and invite a ghost doctor, you will be cured." Shangguan Danfeng glanced at Zhang Jianzhai, "What is life and death with a finger? I don't know, medical ethics are very questionable."

"You—you are the only one who is hard to raise for women and villains!" Zhang Jianzhai rushed ahead angrily, "You have to watch and watch! I, Zhang Jianzhai, can't cure people, can you cure them well?"

Chu Liuxiang supported Zuo Qinghou to go to see Zuo Mingzhu together, if not for Chu Liuxiang's support, Zuo Qinghou could hardly go out.

Unexpectedly, when they walked outside Zuo Mingzhu's boudoir, more than a dozen women and maidservants were crying outside.

"Zhu'er, Zhu'er—ah!" Zuo Qinghou struggled and rushed into the room, seeing his daughter on the bed with a pale face and closed eyes, his whole body went limp.

"Don't, Second Master Zuo, your daughter is not dead!" Shangguan Danfeng hurriedly raised her voice when she saw that Zuo Qinghou's expression was not right.

"Second Master Zuo is in mourning!" Zhang Jianzhai sighed.

Zuo Qinghou let out a mournful cry, and even spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell down.Fortunately, Chu Liuxiang's eyes and hands were quick, so she didn't hit the ground.

"Hurry up and save people!" Yang Suge said hastily.

Chu Liuxiang hugged him to one side of the couch, and Ximen Chuixue stepped forward to reconcile with him, injecting internal energy into Zuo Qinghou's body to support his heart.

"Second Master Zuo has been depressed for several days, and now he is in pain, that's how it will be!" Su Rongrong touched Zuo Qinghou's pulse and said, "Fortunately, Big Brother Chu and Master Ximen are here, otherwise Second Master Zuo would not be able to breathe this way, But it won't work."

Shangguan Danfeng looked at Zuo Qinghou and then at Zuo Mingzhu, a little hesitant.

"Danfeng?" Hua Manlou asked concerned when she saw that her expression was different.

"Huamanlou, Zuo Mingzhu is not dead!" Shangguan Danfeng said in a low voice, "But I'm afraid Zuo Qinghou will be really mad if I say it, what do you think?"

She had some doubts whether Zuo Mingzhu was really sick or a fake one, but she observed Zhang Jianzhai's expression just now, and she still felt that Zuo Mingzhu was still out of her wits.

Zuo Mingzhu didn't need acting skills to pretend to be dead, but Zhang Jianzhai needed more acting skills.Zuo Qinghou trusted Zhang Jianzhai very much, so naturally he didn't think too much about it.But Shangguan Danfeng didn't believe Zhang Jianzhai at first, so he naturally saw other things.

"Sister Danfeng, we heard it!" Xiao Jiluo said suddenly.

Shangguan Danfeng was startled, and when she lowered her head, she realized that Xiao Jiluo and Xiaoqin were standing at their feet and "eavesdropping" openly.

"You said that Auntie Zhu is not dead, but they all thought that Auntie Mingzhu was dead, and now Grandpa Zuo has passed out. Sister Danfeng, do you know what kind of illness Auntie Mingzhu has?" Xiaoqin looked innocent road.

"Will Sister Danfeng also cure diseases?" Xiaojiluo asked curiously.

"Cure!" Xiaoqinluo echoed.

"You didn't even look at the pulse, which means that Zhu is not dead. Are you still going to be able to diagnose the pulse from the air?" Zhang Jianzhai said coldly, "If it is possible, do I want Second Master Zuo to face such a cruel fact?"

Li Hongxiu walked to the bed and felt Zuo Mingzhu's pulse: "Without a breathing pulse, Zuo Mingzhu is really dead!"

"He is dead now, maybe he will be resurrected at night!" Shangguan Danfeng glanced at Zhang Jianzhai, "Master Zhang, are you right?"

"You, what did you say?"

"When a person dies, Second Master Zuo is very sad. Perhaps the pain of losing a daughter can be overcome with the company of friends." Shangguan Danfeng stared at Zhang Jianzhai and said, "I'm afraid that the daughter of an enemy family will use Zuo Mingzhu to revive her soul, and return her to life." To marry the romantic son of his enemy!"

"Princess, the dead are the greatest, be careful!" Chu Liuxiang said coldly.

But he didn't know that Zhang Jianzhai was already frightened, and he didn't know how to react.

Shangguan Danfeng glanced at Zuo Qinghou, couldn't bear it, turned and walked out.

"Danfeng!" Hua Manlou quickly chased after her.

"Sister Danfeng!" Xiaojiluo and Xiaoqintai also followed out.

"Second Master Zuo still needs to rest, let's let him rest here, let's go out and talk about it!" Yang Suge said softly.
