Chapter 368 Chapter Twelve

Xu Ziling was familiar with the environment, so instead of following the route last night, he walked from Xishimen to Zhuque Street. As long as he crosses Wangxian, Qihe and An, and crosses the four north-south streets, he will arrive at Zhuque Street. After leaving Xing'anlong's main hall, Xu Ziling felt that someone was hanging behind him, and of course the person who came was not kind. He deliberately slowed down.Pretend to look around. Most of the shops in the city have just opened for business, and people who shop in the city enter the market from all directions, and gradually become more and more noisy, full of vigor and vitality starting from the morning.

The gate of the city is in sight. The participating men squeezed into the crowd of people entering the market and came face to face. At the same time, Xu Ziling felt that the other two were speeding up from behind. Xu Ziling knew something was wrong, although he pretended to be casual on the surface, he had already prepared a strategy to deal with it in his heart. The front and rear sides quickly approached. The ginseng in front was talking and laughing to himself, but Xu Ziling clearly grasped that the enemy was ready to attack, he smiled secretly and stood still. The situation changed immediately.

Originally, the enemy's calculations were accurate. According to the current pace of the two men and horses, when Xu Ziling and the enemy in front passed by, the enemy in the rear just reached a position where they could attack closely, blocking Xu Ziling's retreat, forming an encirclement situation. Xu Ziling's stop made the two enemies behind him come to the front line quickly. When the former ginseng looked at Xu Ziling in astonishment, Xu Ziling quickly moved back and crashed into the space between the two of them. Suddenly, the two enemies in the rear naturally pulled out the short blades hidden in the brocade robes, which are convenient for burying themselves in the stabbing, and stabbed towards Xu Ziling who was rushing back.

The former ginseng didn't care to hide it anymore, they pulled out their hidden daggers one after another, and rushed forward to attack Xu Ziling. Things happened so quickly, before the pedestrians around could figure out what was going on, success or failure was already evident. Xu Ziling flashed twice quickly, and the sharp blades of the latter two stabbed in the air with a slight margin, but Xu Ziling was inserted between the two, bowing left and right, and his elbows hit the weak parts of their chests and ribs heavily. Amidst the screams of the two, the broken bones were thrown sideways and turned into a rolling gourd. If Xu Ziling hadn't kept his hand, the collision would have killed them.

Xu Ziling swayed forward again, using the special skill of burying his body to fight, and brushed past the ginseng, screaming in pain, the ginseng turned around and fell away.Pedestrians were so frightened that they flew away like dogs, and became a mess. Xu Ziling laughed, and without looking back, he resumed his previous leisurely pace, and left Dongshi calmly.He secretly thought that he would soon become a famous person in Chang'an, as for whether this situation is bad or good, he has no time to think about it, his mother! The old man Sha Tiannan sat up straight on the edge of the bed, let out a long breath, and opened his eyes.

The old lady said with concern: "What do you think, Master?" Sha Zhijing, Mrs. Shen Cheng Bisu, Sha Fu, Bao'er, and Xiaofeng, the two servant girls, were all hoping for an answer. This is Kou Zhong's third treatment for Sha Tiannan. This time he can be said to have exhausted all his skills, relying on his extraordinary talent and hard-earned methods, he spent the whole time driving Sha Tiannan away. The cold air in his body opened up his stagnant meridians, and strengthened his foundation and vitality. Now the meridians in his body are flowing smoothly. If he still can't cure his illness, he has no choice but to retire and give up his dream of being the first doctor in Chang'an.

Sha Tiannan touched both cheeks again, his eyes fell on Kou Zhong who was beside Zhuo Li and said: "Mr. Mo is really my savior, I feel as if I have never been sick, there really is such a miraculous medical skill in the world. " The crowd cheered. Kou Zhong immediately felt relaxed, as if he had let go of a heavy burden in his heart, he thought to himself that the chances of curing you or killing you are actually 50/50. The old lady cried out with tears in her eyes: "Thank God! The master is really well!" Sha Zhijing exclaimed happily: "Mother! I should thank Mr. Mo first!"

The old lady said incoherently: "Yes! Ah! We should thank heaven for allowing us to meet Miracle Doctor Mo." Kou Zhong felt his cheeks heat up, coughed dryly and said: "Master, please take a rest, Yixin excuse me!" After many hardships, he realized that he was "Mo Yixin", and he felt ridiculous when he said it. Sha Zhijing and Cheng Bisu respectfully sent him, the miracle doctor, out of the room. The former offered the copper box containing nine moxibustion needles with both hands, and said with a smile: "This is a gift of apprenticeship, master, please don't refuse."

Kou Zhong groaned in his heart, did he teach her to practice the internal strength in "The Secret of Longevity"?Embarrassedly laughed: "Miss Wu was joking, I just happened to cure your father's illness!" Having said that, he took the copper box unceremoniously. These nine moxibustion needles are tools for making a living by posing as a doctor in Chang'an in the future. Sha Zhijing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Could it be a coincidence that you cured your second sister-in-law last night?" Cheng Bisu said happily: "Mr. Mo is like his uncle, a humble gentleman who never takes credit. A great doctor who saves people." She was obviously very grateful to Xu Ziling who saved her son's life. Sent from the lungs, undisguised.

Kou Zhong couldn't stand it, he was confused, slipped out of the corridor in a hurry, and just ran into Chen Laiman, who gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mr. Mo really has a bright eye, that ship is just passing by, passing us and sailing to Guanzhong. .The people on board even greeted us." Kou Zhong thought that of course it was so, would Shan Wanjing change his career to be a river pirate?He humbly said: "It's just a coincidence that I guessed right!" Chen Laiman put his arm on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Come on! Let's drink in the living room, Teacher Mao is waiting!"

After hearing the news, the eldest son, second son and their concubines came to see Sha Tiannan's chaotic situation, and they entered the cabin. Mao Shichang and two more prestigious martial artists were chatting at the table, when they saw the genius doctor approaching, they all stood up to greet him. Amidst the congratulations and admiration of the crowd, Kou Zhong sat down in a high spirited manner, and let others serve the wine. The speed of the ship suddenly slowed down. Mao Shichang said with a sigh of relief: "Cheers! Finally arrived in Guanzhong! After crossing the river defense, we can continue to drink in Chang'an in another hour! Brothers! Drink!" Kou Zhong drank the fine wine in his hand, thinking to himself that he never dreamed that he would sneak into the pass while drinking.The weirdness of the world is often unexpected. Two teacups collided. Lei Jiuzhi smiled lowly and said, "This is my brother's congratulations on your safe arrival in Chang'an." In the corner of the restaurant attached to the Donglai Inn, both of them were in a cheerful mood and had a great time seeing each other. The only regret was that they still didn't see Kou Zhong. Xu Ziling quickly described the situation before and after entering the customs, and then asked about Lei Jiuzhi's situation. Lei Jiuzhi shook his head and sighed: "I'm not afraid to tell you, brother, I once suffered a big loss at the hands of the 'big fairy' Hoover of Mingtangwo. In terms of gambling skills, I was only close to him, but he took advantage of the land. , and I had a lot of money to gamble on, so I lost by one move. This time around, in addition to luring Xianggui and his son out, I also want to clear Hoover's shame." Xu Ziling asked: "Brother Lei, is he going to compete again with the 'Great Immortal' Hoover?" Lei Jiuzhi smiled bitterly and said, "I lost confidence and enthusiasm for him at the gambling table. I can no longer wield it freely, so I can only pin my hope of revenge on you, a young and talented disciple. You have to find out this bird's breath no matter what." Xu Ziling said in amazement: "How can I do it! Brother Lei must be joking!" Lei Jiuzhi said with a straight face: "How can it be a joke. You should take it as an examination for the imperial examination. As long as you can win the number one player in the Guanzhong gambling world, the 'Great Immortal' Hoover, you will immediately become famous, and then you will fight against Xianggui and his son with the remaining prestige. Another "Liufu Casino" opened here is as famous as "Mingtang Nest", Xianggui will have to show up to meet you. If he can't defeat you, he will buy you as his subordinate with a lot of money, then you You can sneak into his den." Xu Ziling frowned and said, "How can this work? I'm not a gambling material at all." Lei Jiu pointed forward and smiled: "I have never seen anyone who can maintain ice-snow calmness at the gambling table like you. In terms of flexibility and adaptability, no one can match it. Coupled with the skills I taught, Add some on-the-spot experience, and guarantee that Mingtangwo will win you back. Now everything is ready, only the gambling capital is owed. But if you can get Yang Gong's treasure, are you afraid that you will not have the capital to gamble?" Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said: "Your wishful thinking may not be successful. In my opinion, the chance of finding the treasure is very slim. Let's wait until Kou Zhong comes to talk about it." Seeing that he didn't refuse again, Lei Jiuzhi was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "I think you look very good, and you can't do anything. Why don't we go to Mingtangwo to step on the scene tonight, the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an , Young Master Guijie, who doesn’t go there to take advantage of the excitement?” Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "Not tonight! I want to see Li Yuan first." Lei Jiuzhi lost his voice: "What?" Xu Ziling explained the relationship between Yue Shan and Li Yuan, and said distressedly: "How can I meet the emperor in the inner garden of the palace? It is definitely not possible to come to the door to ask for an audience. It is just to give Li Jiancheng, Huang Gongcuo, etc. a chance to kill me." Lei Jiuzhi thought hard for a while, and finally gave up: "I really can't help you with this matter. There are many guards in the palace, and it is impossible to sneak in. Even if you have the ability to sneak in, where is the huge inner palace?" To find Li Yuan?" Xu Ziling was about to speak, but Xiao Xiuming came in a hurry, saw Xu Ziling overjoyed and said, "Fortunately, Brother Mo is really drinking tea here, otherwise I don't know where to find you." After Xu Ziling introduced Lei Jiuzhi to him, he asked, "What's the hurry?" Xiao Xiuming said: "Master Feng wants to see you!" Xu Ziling and Lei Jiuzhi looked at each other, wondering if Feng Deyi could see through his true identity, otherwise, as an important official of the Tang Dynasty, how could he have been interested in meeting such a rogue like him? Chang He and his wife went to Guanfang to meet Yue Zhang Sha Tiannan in person, and when he came forward, the Guanfang officer only sent someone up to make a round trip, and then they checked it out, and it took advantage of Kou Zhong, a man with an ambiguous identity. The two boats set off and headed towards Chang'an City. After a while, Shafu came to him and said that the master had an invitation.Stepping out of the corridor, Shafu whispered: "The one who wants to see you is fourth uncle. When he hears that Mr. Mo's medical skills are superb, he will immediately invite you to meet." Kou Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Chang He would really appreciate his medical skills, instead of being suspicious, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted, and he would turn into an ambush. The hall was full of joy and joy. Everyone in the Sha family saw Kou Chen, the ugly genius doctor, stepping into the hall. Everyone greeted him with cordial greetings and smiles. Fortunately, Chang He and his wife were no exception. Kou Zhong immediately felt relieved. A banquet was set up early in the hall, and Sha Tiannan stood up vigorously and said, "Come on! Let's sit down and discuss in detail." Then he introduced Kou Zhong to Chang He and his wife. Chang He's wife, the fourth miss of the Sha family, Zhichang, is dignified and beautiful, but in terms of appearance, she is only half inferior to the fifth miss, Zhijing, with the demeanor of a lady of every family. Chang He himself looks young and handsome, with a vigorous and promising look.I don't know if his official career is prosperous or not, but Gu Pan is in high spirits, but he treats Kou Zhong with respect and courtesy, and does not despise him in the slightest because of his ugly appearance. Kou Zhong was arranged to sit in the middle of Chang He and the young master, and of course the chairman who was respected by Sha Tiannan.Except for the old lady, all the female relatives at the same table went to the other two seats.Chen Laiman, Mao Shichang and Shafu also accompanied the chairman. After drinking for three rounds, after some words, Sha Tiannan happily said to Kou Zhong: "After being informed by the young son-in-law, Mr. Mo will be able to display his ambition to help the world when he comes to Chang'an this time." Chang He interjected: "The thing is like this, the emperor's favorite concubine, Mrs. Zhang, suddenly suffered from a strange illness. She didn't think about eating and drinking this month, and she became thinner and thinner. Her illness could not be cured, which made the emperor worry all day long. Fortunately, the genius doctor Mo came. As long as he can cure Madam Zhang's illness, it will not only be the glory of our Sha family Mo people, but Mr. Mo will also have inexhaustible wealth and glory Woolen cloth." Kou Zhong complained in his heart, because he never thought of going to the imperial palace for medical treatment, that is not a joke.He made up his mind to run away immediately after entering the city, otherwise it would be strange to enter the palace without showing his feet. On the surface, of course, he pretended to be grateful and said: "Thank you, Master Chang, for giving me such a great opportunity. I will do my best to cure Madam Zhang's illness, and I will live up to Master Chang's trust." The eldest young master Sha Chengcheng raised his hand and said, "This cup is to wish Miracle Physician Mo a wonderful hand to rejuvenate and cure my mother's illness." Everyone drank together, and the atmosphere was warm. Only Kou Zhong almost cried bitterly.Weeping for the medical industry that I worked so hard to build.
