Empress Ma was seriously ill and the imperial doctor was helpless. In order to cure Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to find the immortal Zhang Sugao. Unexpectedly, Zhang Sugao ran away early, so Jin Yiwei had to drag his unlucky disciple to hold the cylinder.
A luxury carriage passed by on the dirt road, leaving two lines of shallow ruts. On a hot summer day, the interior of the carriage was not hot at all. There were watermelon and sour plum soup on the ice cubes, and the cushions were soft and comfortable.
Li Qing was sitting in the sedan, not only did he not feel happy, but he looked sad.
Yes, he is the unlucky guy!
At this moment, there are thousands of horses galloping in his heart. It's a shame that the old man has no moral ethics and ran away without saying a word. What can he do? He is also very desperate!
No one in the huge hospital could cure Queen Ma, but could he?
Li Qing was unsure. This time he entered the palace, he was afraid that it would be... bad luck!
Li Qing opened the sedan curtain and took a look. He saw hundreds of guards with swords and swords riding on tall horses, staring at him with eager eyes. Li Qing's last thought of escaping disappeared.
"Mr. Li, what do you need?"
Hundreds of people in brocade clothes turned their horses' heads parallel to the carriages and sedans, their faces full of kindness.
Li Qing shook his head expressionlessly, feeling increasingly uneasy. No matter how polite the other party was now, he would be cruel in the future.
He didn't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty, but Jin Yiwei still knew that this organization was not a good one and had created countless unjust, false and wrongful cases.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but spit out the fragrance to the unscrupulous master again. Is this what people do?
After being depressed for a while, Li Qing gradually calmed down and began to think about how to save himself.
In fact, the way to save yourself is very simple, that is to cure Queen Ma's illness.
It sounds simple, but it's not that easy, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't be looking for "immortals" all over the world.
Thinking of the most murderous emperor in history, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, as if he had already seen the end of himself being skinned and stuffed into grass.
Li Qing scratched his hair, and his stomach suddenly growled. He picked up the iced watermelon and punched it open. The watermelon was cold, sweet, juicy, and very refreshing.
Li Qing ate while thinking about how to deal with it.
Suddenly, he remembered what the unscrupulous master said to him before sneaking away.
[Disciple, I calculated your fortune and came up with a twelve-character comment:
Beyond the Three Realms, not among the Five Elements!
You are a person full of variables, and you are also a person forgotten by time.】
I'm not Monkey King... Li Qing took a big mouthful of watermelon angrily, "It's still full of variables and has been forgotten by time... huh?"
Li Qing paused, wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of his mouth, and thought to himself: "Did the old man know that I am a time traveler?
Because of time travel, it is full of variables, because the whole person does not belong to this time and space, so it is difficult for time to leave traces on me? "
If you think about it carefully, it has been ten years since he traveled through time. In the past ten years, his body and appearance have not changed at all, and he has never even gotten sick.
I remember that when he first traveled through time, he hadn't eaten for five or six days in a row, but he was still very energetic. Although he was very hungry, it didn't affect his body functions.
Is this my golden finger... Li Qing was speechless, complaining in her heart: "But this golden finger doesn't seem to be of much use!
I don't have the ability of Sun Wukong, who can grow his own head after being chopped off.
In these years of practicing with the master, the greatest achievement is to cultivate the true energy, but this true energy is not like in Xianxia novels, where one can defeat a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand.
Relying on force simply won't work!
The variables the old man mentioned...how to solve them?"
Suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, and he finally realized what the so-called variables were.
Time travel itself is a variable!
Although he didn't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty, he still knew about the major events and bad governance of the Ming Dynasty. When he was really at the end of his rope, he might not be able to use this to gain hope.
Thinking of this, Li Qing relaxed a little and took the fruit plate for a while.
No matter how hard it is, I can’t bear the pain in my belly, and I will never starve to death...
…
"Boss, this Mr. Li is so voracious and picky that our expenses are at the bottom." Yi Jinyiwei was a little angry.
Jinyi Baihu's mouth twitched, and he was about to speak when he heard the man in the sedan say: "One roast chicken, two pounds of pig head meat, and a jug of wine, thank you!"
"Boss..."
"Go buy it!" Jinyi Baihu gritted his teeth, "There is still a day and a half to go. Brothers, let's work together and not stay here tonight. We will drive all night to get to the capital tomorrow afternoon."
He really couldn't bear it anymore. Half of the funds given by the emperor went into this man's mouth. Not only did he not make any profit when he was on official business, he had to borrow money from it.
The dignified emperor's bodyguard,
Which of the ministers in the Manchu Dynasty would not accompany them and be careful when meeting them?
Especially the adaptation of Jinyiweihou is even more impressive. How has it ever suffered such a loss?
But this was the personal disciple of Immortal Zhang Slutty, and they had to rely on others to cure the Queen Mother's illness, so they didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest.
A group of Jin Yiwei tightened their belts and collected a few taels of silver to use for Li Qing's living expenses for the next day.
Li Qing also figured it out. He didn't know whether he could live or how long he could live. He could feel comfortable day by day.
I have lived in poverty in the Taoist temple for these years, and there is not even a bit of meat on weekdays. If I finally get caught, I still have to pay back all the debts I have owed over the years?
Taking the wine and meat that was handed to him, Li Qing thanked him and started to eat happily, and he finished it in a short time.
Jinyi Baihu made everyone dumbfounded. It was obviously enough for two meals, but you finished it in one meal. Aren't you afraid of dying?
Li Qing patted his belly and lay half in the sedan, "The taste is not bad. Dinner and supper are also according to this specification. I will take a nap first. If you have nothing to do, don't disturb me."
After that, regardless of how this person reacted, he fell asleep immediately.
Jinyi Baihu was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Speed up and make sure to reach the capital before noon tomorrow."
The carriage accelerated instantly, and the stable carriage immediately bumped up. Li Qing opened the sedan curtain with dissatisfaction, "Slow down~"
Jinyi Baihu hardened his fists and said with a forced smile, "Mr. Li, please forgive me, the Queen is not in good health and time waits for no one."
After saying that, he never looked at Li Qing again, for fear that he might not be able to bear it anymore.
…
The next day, noon.
In front of the Vermilion Palace, although Li Qing had some ideas in his mind, he was still very flustered, "Then what...it's already dinner time, shall we enter the palace after dinner?"
"Mr. Li, please come face to face immediately." Jin Yibaihu said with a cold face, leaving no room for negotiation.
"...lead the way!"
"Sir, please come with me." Baihu warned, "Don't look around, just look at the road under your feet."
"I understand." Li Qing nodded lightly.
He was about to meet the legendary Zhu Yuanzhang, and his curiosity was aroused. He wanted to see if this person had a shoehorned face, but in the end he was more uneasy.
Li Qing was thinking about something all the way, and he didn't wake up until the person in front stopped.
Hundreds of households in brocade clothes saluted across the door, "Liu Qiang, a humble minister, has come to return his life."
"Squeak~!"
The palace door opened, and a little eunuch with a fair face came out with a whisk in his hand and a slightly sharp voice: "Come in!"
"Hey." Li Qing took a breath and walked into the hall with heavy steps.
The main hall was magnificent and spacious. Li Qing Wuxia looked more and more and was attracted by the middle-aged man on the gilded jade platform in front of him.
The man is tall and tall, with a square face, big eyes, and regular facial features. Although he is old, he is very handsome and not angry.
The little eunuch reminded in a low voice, "Why don't you show your respects quickly?"
Li Qing suddenly woke up and imitated the drama he saw on TV, lifting his robe and saluting.
"Long live the common people to pay homage to our emperor."
"Get up!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from his chair with a rich and majestic voice, "Where is your master?"
"Back to...back to the emperor, even the common people don't know." Li Qing replied bravely.
He really didn't know. He glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and saw a look of displeasure on his face, and added, "Master, he likes to wander around the two lakes."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the young eunuch. The latter understood, nodded, took a few steps back, and walked out of the hall.
I'm sorry, Master, there's nothing I can do... Li Qing secretly prayed: "Old man, please come quickly, I really can't bear it!"
Just as Li Qing was praying, the young eunuch who had just exited the hall rushed in in a panic and knelt on the ground with a sad expression.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty's condition has worsened again." The little eunuch cried, "After taking the medicine, My Majesty actually vomited all the food she had eaten and then... fell unconscious..."
