Chapter 192 Incurable Disease
In the Blood Shadow Hall of Pingxi Prince's Mansion in Yuzhou City, Cheng Jijia, an old Confucian scholar, was frowning. Ever since he was stabbed in the butt by Tang Jiusheng, Pingxi Prince Yin Quan returned to his old ways, singing and dancing with beautiful women in his arms every day, drunkenly and dreamily.
Princess Ximen Yuxue failed to persuade her, and even Hu Yuanlang of Nanji County and Ge Xuanfeng of Anping County of Lingdong Road were also angered to death by Yin Quan, this prince who could not be helped!
When the lanterns first came on, Hu Yuanlang and Ge Xuanfeng, two of Yin Quan's top advisers, hid in the Lan Yuexuan of the palace and drank. Ge Xuanfeng, who was as thin as dry wood, cursed angrily: "It's true that dogs can't change their eating habits..." The fat Hu Yuanlang's face turned pale with fright.
He quickly stretched out his hand to cover Ge Xuanfeng's mouth, looked out the window in panic, and then whispered: "Brother Yixuan, be careful that there are ears outside the window. Trouble comes from the mouth! Trouble comes from the mouth!"
Ge Xuanfeng, also known as Yixuan, angrily drank a glass of Du Chun, a famous wine produced in Lingnan, and said depressedly: "I have to wait for less than three months, and my drunken and dreamy virtues are back! If this continues, how can we rely on troops to conquer the world?"
Just rely on a dream and a mouth? Or rely on those women who only work hard in bed? Brother Yuen Long, I really want to leave, maybe I shouldn’t have come in the first place!”
Hu Yuanlang sighed and persuaded: "Brother Yixuan, don't be anxious. The prince was just scared out of his wits by Tang Jiu Sheng in Huzhou. As long as Tang Jiu Sheng is killed or maimed, the prince's heartache will naturally be cured. Isn't this a return?
Is Brother Cheng Jijia here too? Let’s work out a solid plan another day. Everything depends on human effort, don’t lose heart!”
Ge Xuanfeng asked angrily: "Lu Tianxing is the third in the world, Zheng Zhaozong is the sixth in the world, He Tongjun is the tenth in the world, plus Zhu Tianba, the big angry monk, and the bone-changing Taoist, all are in the hands of the prince! Really?
Can these people not be able to assassinate Tang Jiusheng? How can they act like a little girl even after being slightly injured! What big thing can they achieve?"
Ge Xuanfeng angrily poured a glass of Duchun wine down his throat, lay on the table with drunken eyes and fell asleep soundly. Hu Yuanlang stood up, took off a piece of clothing, covered Ge Xuanfeng's body, and shook his head helplessly.
Outside Lan Yuexuan, a strong figure lurking outside the window disappeared in a flash, and soon came to the Blood Shadow Hall of the Royal Palace. At this time, a red candle was lit on the koan in the lobby of the Blood Shadow Hall, and the old Confucian scholar Cheng Jijia was sitting on the koan
Finally, holding a book in his hand, he was reading with gusto. The black shadow came to the public case, knelt on the ground, and whispered: "Shadow Master, that Ge Xuanfeng dared to speak rudely to the prince, do you want it?" He raised his hand.
His right hand made a beheading gesture.
Cheng Jijia, a thin old Confucian scholar, did not take his eyes off the page, but shook his head slightly, "Long Yu, if you don't even have this little belly, how can you compete in the world? Use people's strengths instead of their weaknesses. Ge Yixuan is a bit cynical.
Man, if you don't let him speak, he will die of depression. Let him speak, as long as it's not too much.
Just let him go, it doesn't matter."
The strong man known as Dragon Fish lowered his head and said: "Yes, I understand, and I will obey the instructions of the shadow master!" Cheng Jijia smiled, "You are tired too, please retreat and rest!" Dragon Fish lowered his head and said:
"Yes, I am resigning."
Watching the Arowana's leaving figure, Cheng Jijia put the book in his hand on the case, stood up, and walked out of the Blood Shadow Hall with his hands behind his back. Cheng Jijia stood in front of the small pool in the courtyard of the Blood Shadow Hall, looking at the goldfish swimming in the water.
He said softly: "Long Yu, there are some things you don't understand. I used to live in seclusion back then. That was because I didn't have the chance. Once a person has the strength, he must do what he should do. Giving Ge Xuanfeng and others a chance is equivalent to
Give the prince a chance. Some things are mutually beneficial. If he doesn't surrender to you and defectes to the court, wouldn't he be a formidable enemy?"
Cheng Jijia closed his eyes and thought for a long time. He suddenly opened his eyes and did not look back. He just said coldly: "Huo Nu, go and inform Chun Yuanzi that Tang Jiusheng is going to Yong'an? It's time for him to take action!" No one responded, and the darkness
There was only the sound of his clothes fluttering in the wind when he left. Cheng Jijia smiled slightly and said, "Tang Jiu Sheng, aren't you a tough man? I won't send Blood Shadow's killers to kill you this time, but I want to see how tough your fate is.
!”
"Mr. Cheng, what are you so happy about? Tell me and share it with me?" Cheng Jijia didn't look back, but his body stiffened for a moment. He didn't hear this voice for half a month. Cheng Jijia turned around, his eyes were shining, and he was wearing Yishan on his head.
Crowned, Prince Yin Quan of Pingxi, dressed in princely attire, stood behind him.
Cheng Jijia looked happy, bowed and saluted: "See you, Your Majesty!" Yin Quan smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Cheng Jijia did not need to be polite. Yin Quan turned around and said: "Let's go, Mr. Cheng, let's chat in your Blood Shadow Hall.
Shouldn’t you be unwelcome?”
Cheng Jijia laughed loudly and said jokingly: "Your Majesty, you are a rare visitor. I don't usually invite you. Why did your Majesty condescend to come to my Blood Shadow Hall today?" Yin Quan tapped Cheng Jijia with his hand, pretending to be angry.
He said, "Mr. Cheng, you are clearly scolding me!"
Cheng Jijia let Yin Quan go inside and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how dare I scold you? I'm waiting to follow you as the founding father of the country! Your Majesty, please come in quickly! It's been so long and you haven't come to see me.
Look at me here in Xueyingtang, I’m very lonely!”
Yin Quan followed Cheng Jijia into the lobby of the Blood Shadow Hall with a smile. When he got to the public case, he pulled up a chair and sat down. Cheng Jijia smiled and said: "My lord, you shouldn't sit here. You should sit behind the public case. This chair should be given to you."
Come down and sit down!"
Yin Quan shook his head and clasped his hands on his chest, "You, Mr. Cheng, are the shadow master of Blood Shadow Hall. You are the biggest here, and I am just here as a guest. By the way, Mr. Cheng, you said you are very lonely, and I gave him away a while ago.
you
Why don't you accept these two beauties? With beauties, how can you be lonely?"
Cheng Jijia boiled water and made a pot of tea, then he pulled up a chair and sat behind the public case. He said with a smile: "I accept the prince's kindness, but my old wife is still at home. When I was unsuccessful, my old wife never left me. Today
I have followed the prince and gained a certain status, so how can I dare to forget the oath I made before? As a human being, we must not forget our roots and must be affectionate and righteous!"
Yin Quan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng is indeed a strange man with love and righteousness. If I were a widower and a beautiful woman came to my door, how could I not enjoy it? Wouldn't that be a waste? Oh, by the way, I just heard Mr. Cheng say
We don’t send Blood Shadow’s killers to kill Tang Jiusheng, but we want to see how hard his life is, what will happen?”
Cheng Jijia smiled and said: "Your Majesty and I have different fates. Your Majesty grew up with a golden key in your mouth, and I am poor. It is natural for Your Majesty to enjoy beautiful women, but I am afraid of being obsessed with wine and sex, so I dare not forget my roots. As for Tang Jiu Sheng, I have to
Chun Yuanzi, senior brother of Taoist Master Hua Gu, takes action. As for the specific situation, the secret cannot be leaked yet. In short, it is a good thing to please the prince to rest assured! Even if Tang Jiu Sheng does not die, we still have to peel off his skin!"
…
The weather has turned sunny, but the official road to Yong'an has not yet been completed. In the Zhujiazhuang reception room, Tang Jiusheng was discussing sword skills with the owner Zhu Jiafu. The two were talking with joy when Tang Jiusheng suddenly said "Oops" and sat down on his chair.
He fell to the ground on his back and was unconscious.
Zhu Jiafu was shocked and came over to check. He saw Tang Jiusheng clenching his teeth and foaming at the mouth. He didn't know what was going on. Zhu Jiafu was panic-stricken and called for a doctor to take his pulse. Zhu Jiafu asked
: "You two girls, is your husband-in-law an old disease? Or is it a new disease?"
Shui Ruyue said doubtfully: "I have never heard that Junior Brother has such a disease!" While he was panicking, the famous Dr. Zhou from Zhujiaji came. Dr. Zhou took the pulse on Tang Jiusheng's left hand and said with a puzzled look on his face: "
You shouldn’t!” He took the pulse of his right hand again and said in surprise: “How strange!”
Zhu Jiafu also looked confused, "Dr. Zhou, how is Tang Shaoxia's disease? Can it be cured?"
Doctor Zhou shook his head and said: "Wansheng's pulse has been counted for a few years, but Tang Shaoxia's pulses are very stable and there is no sign of illness. Wansheng really can't cure this nameless disease. I hope Master Zhu will hire someone else!" said
After that, he hurried away with the medicine box under his arm. No matter how hard he tried to persuade Zhu Jiafu to stay, he could not stay.
Zhu Jiafu was very depressed. He called in dozens of famous doctors, but no one could figure out the cause of Tang Jiu Sheng's illness, and naturally there was no way to prescribe the medicine. For three days in a row, Tang Jiu Sheng was unconscious, and he saw that Tang Jiu Sheng was getting weaker day by day.
