After listening to the guard's report, the doctor ordered Li Fang to be stunned for a moment, then pondered for a moment, then smiled: "There is a teacher who didn't even study when he was teaching, but now he actually thinks of studying."
Li Fang recalled the scene when he and Li Ru confronted Liu Bian two days ago. Li Ru mentioned that he had taught lessons for two princes, but King Hongnong had never been there.
But now it's good, King Hongnong actually wants to study?
Li Fang secretly despised it. There was a doctor who did not study when he was teaching, but now he has become a loner and started studying instead. This move of King Hongnong was really strange.
"General."
The guard cupped his fists and asked tentatively: "Are we going to refuse?"
Li Fang shook his head without hesitation: "No, it's just studying, it's not a big deal. As long as he can be honest and don't cause trouble for me, let him study."
"Young man understands."
The guard bowed and held his hand.
Immediately, he bowed and exited the hall.
Li Fang couldn't help but let out a scornful laugh: "Reading? Huh~~"
The man in the palace said softly: "General, do you need to report this matter to the Taiwei?"
Li Fang shook his head: "The Taiwei has so many things to do every day, how can he have time to care about such things? It's just studying, not killing people. If everything is reported to the Taiwei, what do you want us to do?"
The man hurriedly handed over his hands and apologized: "You will eventually realize your mistake."
*****
Nangong, Lantai.
Zhu Tong stood majestically outside the hall with a sword on his waist.
He carefully memorized everyone who came in and out of Lantai, especially those who could open the palace door.
However, after noon, there were so many people entering and leaving Lantai that his mind was a little confused. He tried hard to remember the results of the whole day, but it was all in vain. Now he can't remember any of them.
"Damn."
Zhu Tong hit his head hard, angry that he didn't have photographic memory.
If we can't even solve the key problem, how can we talk about stealing the imperial city plan?
Phew~~~
Zhu Tong exhaled a long breath and shook his head violently.
He tried hard to stay awake and continued to observe everyone who came in and out.
Two unfamiliar faces walked towards me. One of them was a little older, with a frown on his face and an angry look on his face: "Fight to break the sky? I have been managing the Lantai collection of books for twenty years, but I have never heard of this book."
The young man next to him also frowned, with a touch of resentment: "Yes! I have never heard of this book. Not only the disciple, but also the secretary and prisoner have not heard of this book. Otherwise, how could the disciple know it?"
Interrupting Master’s retreat.”
"Are you sure it's King Hongnong who wants this book?" the man called Master asked curiously.
"Yes!" The young man nodded, "It is His Royal Highness King Hongnong."
"Prince Hongnong has never been good at studying, so why does he suddenly want to study?"
"Disciple doesn't know."
Your Highness?
Hiss~~~
Zhu Tong, who was on duty, couldn't help but gasp.
Although he didn't know what fighting broke the sky, he understood that His Highness's move must be for the sake of the imperial city's plan.
Zhu Tong subconsciously became nervous and stared at the two people walking towards him with all his attention. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to their conversation.
"I heard that the general was executed and the Queen Mother died suddenly, which had a great impact on him. Two days ago, a food prisoner was killed for no reason."
"Ah? There's no reason?"
"I don't know, but we can't offend him, otherwise there will be no good consequences."
"Let's go, mobilize all secretaries and supervisors, we must find this book."
"promise."
Although the content that followed was of little value, when the two passed by Zhu Tong, Zhu Tong clearly smelled a strange smell, as if it was smoky.
"Did this old guy just crawl out of the fire pit?"
Zhu Tong looked back at the two people entering Lantai with a look of disgust.
There seemed to be a faint pungent odor in the smoky smell.
Zhu Tong fanned himself in an attempt to dispel the disgusting smell: "I never expected that there would be such a person in a place like Lantai. It's simply insulting to politeness."
"Brother~~"
As soon as Zhu Tong finished speaking, not far from him, the guard who was also on duty at Lantai glanced at him: "You look a little unfamiliar, are you new here?"
"Um."
Zhu Tong did not deny it, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and broke into a smile: "Brother Zhang has a bad stomach, so I am on duty for him. Today is indeed the first time I come to Lantai."
"Dare I ask brother..."
Zhu Tong cupped his fists and raised his thick eyebrows slightly.
"Oh." The man replied, "I'm Sun Hao."
Zhu Tong bowed his hands in salute and tried to ask: "I wonder if Brother Sun knows this person?"
Sun Hao smiled lightly: "Of course, he is an old man in Lantai. He comes to find many things that His Majesty urgently needs. As long as you can tell your name, he will be able to get it out within a moment."
"oh?"
Zhu Tong asked curiously: "I didn't expect this person to be so capable. No wonder he is called Master. I believe he must be well-read, right?"
Sun Hao let out a scornful laugh and shook his head: "That's right. He does read a lot of books, but most of them are about alchemy. Didn't you smell that just now? Only people who deal with alchemy furnaces all day long are that kind of people.
A taste."
"Alchemy?"
Zhu Tong couldn't help but frown.
He tried to look back and glance inside Lantai, but unfortunately the man had already left and there was no trace of him.
Zhu Tong thought in his mind that since the other party was the old man of Lantai and was also called the master, he must have the key to Lantai.
If we could get the key from this person, wouldn't the problem of entering and exiting Lantai be solved?
Thinking of this, Zhu Tong raised his head and looked at Sun Hao across from him: "Brother Sun is often on duty at Lantai. I think he must be familiar with this person. I wonder if you can introduce him to me?"
"You?" Sun Hao looked Zhu Tong up and down, "Do you also like to make alchemy?"
"It's true." Zhu Tong smiled lightly, "My younger brother is very interested in this. I heard that it can strengthen the body and prolong life. Who doesn't love it? Wasn't His Majesty also obsessed with this way back then?"
The reason why Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty placed Liu Bian in the care of Taoist Shi Zixuan was precisely because Liu Hong was obsessed with alchemy and always imagined that he could use it to prolong his life, live a hundred years, and even become an immortal.
It's a pity...
Liu Hong not only failed to live a long life, but died at the age of thirty-three, which was really crazy.
Sun Hao looked in disbelief: "Although I know this person, I am not familiar with him, so I'm afraid I can't help you. But if you just want to know more about this person, you might as well go to the Taoist Shi Zixuan in the southwest of the imperial city to inquire.
"
"Shi Zixuan?"
How could Zhu Tong not know this person?
At that time, Hongnong King Liu Bian was raised by this person.
In a sense, Shi Zixuan had a nurturing grace for Liu Bian.
"That's right."
Sun Hao nodded: "Shi Zixuan is very good at alchemy. This person often asks Shi Zixiao for advice on alchemy. If you go to Shi Zixuan's place, you will most likely run into this person."
Zhu Tong was overjoyed and cupped his hands: "Thank you so much, Brother Sun."
Sun Hao smiled lightly: "We are all ministers, why should we be so polite?"
