Chapter 16 Dormant
After Yao Yu neatly dealt with the assassin that day, he headed north on horseback. The man in black who emerged from the dense forest also traveled back day and night to report. Surprisingly, he did not return to Jiankang, but took the road
Jingzhou.
At this time, Liu Yilong, the governor of Jingzhou, was resting in bed. He was the third younger brother of the current emperor and the King of Yidu of the Liu Song Dynasty. Speaking of this King of Yidu, everyone would unconsciously show regret. When he was young,
He was well versed in classics and history, good at official script, and very good at strategy. Unfortunately, he was weak and sick since he was a child, and his mother was from a humble background, so Liu Yilong was never taken seriously by the late emperor Liu Yu. Therefore, before he could weaken his crown, he was sent to Jingzhou, far away from Jiankang.
.
At this time, King Liu Yilong of Yidu was practicing calligraphy in his study when he heard the palace steward report outside the door, "Your Highness, the wandering Doctor Wang is back and came to ask for your pulse."
Hearing this, Liu Yilong raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of joy. He put down the pen knife in his hand, turned to the outer room and said, "Please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a doctor in a long gown in his fifties entering the room. He lowered his head and crossed his arms, and bowed respectfully to Liu Yilong, "Your Highness."
Liu Yilong's sullen face made it difficult to hide his joy and anger, and he waved his hand and said, "Get up. My illness will not be cured in a day or two, so you don't have to be so anxious."
Doctor Wang smiled and replied, "It is the duty of a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded. The sooner I can cure His Highness's illness, the sooner I will be able to fulfill my dream of being a doctor. I hope that Your Highness will be able to do it."
His words were extremely tactful, so Liu Yilong stopped talking and closed his sleeves to expose his wrists.
The servants who were waiting in the room all wisely withdrew, and the last one gently closed the door. As soon as the door was closed, two guards came over and stood outside the door, as if no one could open it.
Posture. This is the rule in His Highness's residence. While Dr. Wang is consulting, no one is allowed in.
After all the servants had exited, Liu Yilong showed a smile and asked, "Do you have anything to gain from this trip, Doctor Wang?"
Doctor Wang, who was diagnosing the pulse, raised his head, his eyes sparkling. He looked like an old man over fifty years old. He took out a white silk handkerchief from his arms and put it on the table.
When Liu Yilong saw it, he unfolded the veil, and what was wrapped inside was not a rare object, but a copper coin. There was nothing unusual at first glance, but if you were careful, you would quickly find that the copper coin had black markings on it.
Blood spots.
"Did she recognize the person she sent?" Liu Yilong picked up the copper coins and rubbed them, his face uncertain.
"Yes. As His Highness expected, she also guessed that she was an assassin sent by the Emperor."
Liu Yilong smiled coldly, "She is still a little smart. It's just that she doesn't know the emperor well enough," he said with a sense of helplessness, "The emperor has even forgotten the morning meeting, how can he still remember her?"
When Dr. Wang heard this, he just remained silent.
Liu Yilong seemed to be lost in thought for a while, then threw the copper coins in his hand back into the white silk handkerchief, "With your skills, can you kill her?"
"I don't know."
Liu Yilong raised his eyebrows and looked at Doctor Wang playfully, "I don't know? But you have been slacking off recently?"
Doctor Wang's voice suddenly changed, as if it were that of a young man, and he answered somewhat mysteriously, "Yes and no."
Liu Yilong became interested, "Oh? How do you say this?"
"According to my observation, Tan Yuoyu's martial arts is by no means just a domineering internal force. She is close to the ultimate state of internal and external integration."
After Doctor Wang gave such a specious answer, he said no more. At this time, not only did his voice change, but his manner of speaking was no longer respectful.
I saw him swaying to the table and sitting down. He picked up the pen and ink that the servant had prepared and started writing a prescription. While writing, he said, "Your Highness, you have a stagnation in your body. You need to find some girls to clear it out."
, there are several new people coming to Yingyue Building today, I will write a recipe for you, please send someone to get it today!"
Liu Yilong was so angry at his nonsense, "When did you start studying medicine?"
Doctor Wang smiled teasingly and said, "Your symptoms can be seen even if you don't understand medical science!"
Liu Yilong flicked his sleeves and pretended to scold, "I don't know what you mean!"
Doctor Wang was reluctant, "If you continue like this, the Liu family will be in trouble!"
Liu Yilong lowered his face and snorted softly, "The thing the Liu family has nothing to worry about most is the heirs..."
Doctor Wang heard what he meant and inquired, "Xu Xianzhi, that old fox, seems to be very unsettled recently and keeps staring at the second prince. However, the second prince actually has close contacts with Xie Lingyun, Yan Yanzhi, Hui Lin and the others.
The Xie family of Chen County..."
Doctor Wang was about to continue, but Liu Yilong raised his hand to stop him, "Don't ask more about these things, so as not to make others suspicious. I have my own plan."
Doctor Wang had a ghostly smile on his lips. How could the majestic King of Yidu miss this situation?
On his way back from Qiuchi, he heard that a hundred-year-old Qingzhi was discovered in Jingzhou. Qingzhi is also known as Longzhi. Although it is not the top grade of Ganoderma, the century-old Zhi is considered rare. No sooner or later, impartially.
Growing up in Jingzhou, it is inevitable that people will be suspicious. Liu Yilong did not shy away from it. He only said that Qingzhi was an auspicious sign from heaven, and sent someone to present it to the emperor on horseback. I don’t know what the emperor would think when he saw it, and the four people in the court
Does the minister who cares about life have the same thoughts as the emperor?
The two of them sat thoughtfully for a while, and Liu Yilong said coldly, "Doctor Wang is getting old after all. You have been pressing his acupuncture points for too long, and you are afraid that he will be unable to bear it. You should go back and let him go earlier."
After Liu Yilong finished speaking, he glanced at "Doctor Wang" next to him and thought to himself, this guy doesn't practice his kung fu well and engages in some evil ways all day long. Even Liu Yilong himself can't tell the difference from this disguised face.
The pretended Doctor Wang said, "Hey, hey." He clasped his fists and raised his steps, "Then I'll leave first. This beautiful lady has an appointment today."
Liu Yilong nodded, "Send someone to keep an eye on Tan Yaoyu, so she doesn't find out."
"Doctor Wang" nodded and moved to the door. Just as he was about to open the door and go out, he heard Liu Yilong whispering behind him, "Ying Feng..."
"Doctor Wang" obviously didn't expect Liu Yilong to call him by his real name, so he paused and stopped at the door.
Liu Yilong hesitated for a moment before finding the right wording and said, "Jingzhou City has received many complaints from flower pickers recently. Currently, the state government and the private sector are offering rewards for their capture. Be careful not to get involved."
Ying Feng turned his back to Liu Yilong, with a cynical smile on his face. With Liu Yilong's temperament, this was the first time he had ever spoken out, so just treat it as a favor. So he turned around, regained the voice and tone of Doctor Wang and said respectfully,
"I must pay attention, thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
