Chapter 377 Chapter Eight

Chang He and Kou Zhong were waiting in the outer hall of Ningbi Pavilion, the former sent in a low voice: "The Emperor has an urgent matter to discuss with His Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Qin in the inner court this morning, otherwise the Emperor will definitely come in person." Kou Zhong rubbed his eyes due to lack of sleep, and asked casually, "Why don't you see King Qi?" Chang He thought that he was an old friend who shared good and bad, and said: "King Qi went to the customs to do some important things, but he hasn't come back yet. Eunuch Zheng came, with a smile on his face, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have invited Dr. Mo. "

Kou Zhong followed him into the inner room, and made Zhang Xiyu sit neatly on the recliner, although she was still far from being refreshed, but her sickness was gone, there was a little blood on her cheeks, she is not blind, you will know that she is recovering. Zhang Xiyu wears a phoenix crown on her head, and is wearing an elegant dark blue taboo dress with vermilion trim, a brocade robe, and a pair of white jade pendants around her waist. Of course she treated Kou Zhong very politely, showing a cordial smile, and said: "Aijia has never slept so well like last night in the past half month, Mr. Mo really lives up to his reputation as a genius doctor."

After Kou Zhong reached the ground, he sat down on the chair specially designed for him beside her, thinking that you had enough sleep, my beauty, but Shafu woke me up as soon as I closed my eyes. Zhang Xiyu obediently stretched out her jade hands from her sleeves, and asked Kou Zhong to put three fingers on her wrists, and said with emotion: "Why do people suffer from all kinds of pain, big and small, all the time in this world?" Of course, none of the eunuchs and servants who accompanied her could answer her question. Kou Zhongzheng was concentrating on the details of the blood in her delicate body, and answered casually: "It depends on why people are born in this world. If it is for The experience of life, you should taste every experience. Hey! I'm just talking nonsense, my lady, please don't take offense."

Zhang Xiyu looked at his ugly face in a daze, and said: "Mr.'s words are very fresh. No one has ever said this to Aijia. It can be seen that Mr. is informal and straightforward. He can say whatever he thinks. How could Aijia blame Mr. ? But the torment of the illness is worth it.” Kou Zhong wanted to give it a go with a submissive nod, but couldn't help but said: "Sickness is not without benefits, at least it can remind us to take care of our health. It's like cutting flesh with a knife, so we avoid the knife. If it doesn't hurt, even People don’t even know if their hands are cut off. Ha! So people who practice martial arts should be the people who are most afraid of pain.”

Zhang Xiyu was startled and said, "What Mr. said is not unreasonable." Kou Zhong thought to himself that it was time to give the needle after the Hu Zhao was completed, took out Sha Zhijing's nine-needle copper box, and said with a smile: "After the order, the villain will never have to come to treat the empress again!" Early in the morning, Hou Xibai's Gong Chenchun went to Donglai Inn to find Lei Jiuzhi and Xu Ziling. The latter wore a wax mask to avoid people's eyes and ears. business. The three of them discussed in the room, Hou Xibai said: "Last night Li Jiancheng sent someone to send five taels of gold, but I rejected the reward in front of Xingchanglong's people, I wonder if I did it right?"

Lei Jiuzhi took a breath and said, "That's right, but how could Li Jiancheng swallow this breath?" Xu Ziling said, "Who cares about his mother! The current situation is delicate, Gong Chenchun and Li Shimin, Li Yuan and Li Shimin respectively. Li Jiancheng is not without scruples about Feng Deyi's connection." Hou Xibai smiled bitterly and said: "However, Dazhi's Kuangsha Saber technique is indeed well-deserved. Even if I can use the beauty fan to counter his Kushadao, the outcome is still unknown. If I use a sword, I'm afraid I won't be able to make many moves. This man is a disaster after all.”

Xu Ziling said indifferently: "It doesn't make much difference to me whether to use a weapon or not. If there is a chance to meet Dazhi, we can switch bags before we do it, and I will deal with him." Lei Jiuzhi frowned and said, "I'm most afraid of encountering them suddenly, and it's too late to drop the bag." Hou Xibai shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's not a problem. This is Tianjing in the Tang Dynasty, and Dazhi is a Changlin soldier, so he can't kill people easily. I will lead him to regular decisive battles. At that time, Ziling can take the lead calmly. But this Turkic Manzi is a man of practical learning, Ziling must not take it lightly."

Xu Ziling smiled and said: "No matter who the opponent is, I will not underestimate the enemy." Hou Xibai said: "Another problem is that King Qin seems to have the intention of recruiting me into the Tiance Mansion, how should I deal with it, little brother?" Xu Ziling said decisively: "This will become a cocoon. Brother Hou can reject it by the ancestor's legacy that the descendants of the Mo family are not allowed to be officials. It is best to give a hint to Buting and others as soon as possible. As long as it is passed to Li Shimin's ears, this problem can be resolved." problem."

Lei Jiuzhi praised: "Zi Ling's mind turns quickly, no matter what is difficult to deal with, it will be solved immediately in your hands." Hou Xibai said happily: "My little brother is about to use Ziling's intelligence to get the seal back from Yang Xuyan's hand for me." Xu Ziling said in a deep voice: "Your problem, I'm afraid you will have to solve it through the 'Ba Dao' Yueshan. As long as Li Yuan knows Pei Ju's true identity and relationship with Yang Xuyan, it's best to buy one and open three, and make Yang Wengan and Yang Xuyan Yan, the secret collusion between Yang Xuyan and Dong Shuni is also presented, then we may be able to fish in troubled waters, and it is not impossible to kill Yang Xuyan."

Lei Jiuzhi thought of Yang Wengan's concubine Mrs. Hong, nodded and said: "We still need to work on Yang Wengan." Xu Ziling said calmly: "Time is running out, so it's time for old man Yue Shan to make an appearance!" Kou Zhong returned to the lobby accompanied by Eunuch Zheng, Chang He asked nervously: "How is Madam Zhang?" Eunuch Zheng answered first: "Mr. Mo is worthy of a doctor. This time, Madam Zhang looks as if she has never been sick." look. " Kou Zhong returned to his true self, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty needs to take a nap now, I guarantee that her disease has been completely eradicated, and there will be no recurrence."

Chang He felt relaxed, because the success or failure of this matter was related to his future official career. "Ms. Yin De is here!" The three of them felt astonished, and hurriedly knelt down to greet them. Concubine Yin De is the most powerful concubine in the palace other than Zhang Xiyu. She is also favored by Li Yuan, and she is another important concubine that Li Jiancheng deliberately curry favor with. Kou Zhong took a sneak peek, and saw a beautiful woman wearing a knee-length cloak with long sleeves and double breasts, and a cloak embroidered with multicolored gold thread pattern, who came slowly, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids. Inside the cloak is a short and long skirt. The waist of the skirt is tied above the waist, and the height is close to the armpits, which makes the tall and tall Concubine Yin De look more slender and graceful. Zhang Xiyu was not inferior. Kou Zhongxinfu, whether Concubine Yin Defei or Zhang Xiyu, are all beauties with natural beauty that make people overwhelmed. Compared with Dong Shuni, they have a more mature style. No wonder Yang Xuyan wants to use heretical kung fu to win Dong Shuni's favor. "Three equals!" Kou Zhong followed Chang He and Eunuch Zheng to stand up, pretending to be panicked and bowed his head, not daring to look at each other. Concubine Yin De said softly: "This is Doctor Mo, how is my sister's condition?" Kou Zhong replied: "Ms. Zhang has fully recovered, God bless the emperor." Concubine Yin De praised and praised for a while, and said: "Miraculous doctor Mo has made great achievements today, and the emperor will reward him heavily. If miracle doctor Mo has any wishes, please avoid saying it directly." Like Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong was most afraid of being entangled in an official position, so he didn't have to go anywhere. He hurriedly said: "The only wish of the villain is to hope that General Chang will be promoted step by step. This time, if General Chang accompanied the villain to find a suitable elixir throughout Chang'an, it would be impossible to have such a miraculous effect. As for the villain, he must follow the legacy of his ancestors, Travel all over the world before the age of forty, benefit the common people, and broaden their knowledge." Chang He was greatly moved when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down. Concubine Yin De admired Kou Zhong's "indifferent to fame and fortune", and praised: "Mr. is a man of great ambition, Yin De is so disrespectful!" Turning to Chang He, he said: "General Chang has made a great contribution by recommending Mr. Mo to His Highness the Crown Prince. The Ai family will definitely remind the emperor, and will never forget General Chang's contribution." After saying that, he went into the inner hall to visit Zhang Xiyu. When leaving the palace, Chang Hezao regarded Kou Zhong as a "life-and-death friend" and forced him to hold a celebration lunch in Fuju Building. The mood of the two of them now is of course very different from yesterday. Xu Ziling's Yue Shan stepped up the Yuema Bridge boldly. Regardless of his strange appearance, stalwart figure, and domineering aura, people had to look at him more. After getting off the bridge, turn to the direction of Xishi, and the destination is Buzhengwang, which is adjacent to the imperial city in the northeast of Xishi.Those who can live in this area are not only able to do it with money, but also have power and power. There are many mansions in Wangfang, all of which are the official residences of dignitaries. Xu Ziling stopped outside a huge mansion, and saw the four characters "Hainan Huangfu" written on the door plaque. After Xu Ziling took a deep breath, he secretly gathered his power, and when he had reached the peak, he let out a deep drink, and released his iron fist, using the Aquarius seal, and hit hard on the large wooden door carved with mahogany wisps of flowers. "boom"! Spiraling vigorously, the big wooden door, like indestructible broken wood debris, spins and ejects into the courtyard, turning the courtyard door into a square hole.The loud noise immediately alarmed the disciples of the Nanhai faction in the residence, and there was a chorus of voices, and more than a dozen armed men and women crowded out from the main entrance of the main residence. Xu Ziling's fake Yueshan is here to make trouble, and the bigger the trouble, the better.The most ideal is to make a sensation in the whole city and teach everyone that "Yueshan is coming". Lightly holding the hem of the "Yueshan Signature" robe, he entered across the threshold. The two big men shouted angrily, and charged at him with a knife and a gun, and someone behind them shouted: "Whoever dares to come to my Nanhai faction to be wild!" Xu Ziling shook his shoulders, and floated forward in a flowing manner. He swayed left and right in front of the sword and gun and his body, avoiding the enemy's weapons by a slight margin, and then opened his bow left and right. The two of them clearly saw him attacking with his palms, but they couldn't dodge them. If you fall, you can't get up again. Two men and one woman held their swords together and attacked from the steps. They obviously worked hard in the group attack formation and cooperated seamlessly. Since the leader "Golden Spear" Mei Xun and the masters of the faction usually accompanied Li Yuanji to the outside of the pass to deal with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, so the only ones staying in Chang'an now, except for "Nanhai Immortal" Huang Gongcuo, were relatively inferior. good hand.Xu Ziling was seeing this situation correctly, so he openly came to seek revenge and seek Mr. Huang's mistake.There is no other better way to inform Li Yuan of his arrival at Yueshan. Xu Ziling's eyes imitated Yueshan's gloomy and cold light, condensed a powerful and unparalleled aura, stepped up the steps to meet him, his hands struck out with lightning, and the icy cold murderous aura surged away, causing them to be killed before the enemy attacked. Feeling pain in the skin, difficulty in breathing, and suddenly the ambition was taken away, and I couldn't display my true skills. "Dangdang", the sound was endless, none of the four enemy swords was spared by Xu Ziling's heavy hand, two of them dropped their weapons, the other was kicked away by him, and the female disciple holding the sword was taken away by him. The sword became defeated and retreated in all directions. With a backhand sword, Xu Ziling swept the other strong man behind him so that he rolled down the long steps with his stick, and was about to enter the hall, when the shadow of the stick flashed out from the door, he slashed at the head, the movement was faster than lightning, and the stick The phoenix is ​​like a mountain, extremely fierce. With Xu Ziling's ability, he didn't dare to challenge him. At the same time, he remembered that Yue Shan's posthumous scroll mentioned this person, saying that he was the only one in the South Sea School who could be called a master except for Huang Gongcuo. The stick bearer was an old man in brocade robes with white beard and hair. With a swing of the iron stick, he changed his moves without hesitation in the middle, from a quick chop to a straight stab, and quickly grabbed Xu Ziling's waist and eyes, which was ruthless and spicy. Xu Ziling let out a Yueshan long laugh, and said: "'Qimeigun' Mei Tian, ​​it seems that you haven't made much progress in all these years!" While speaking, Zao Yunjian pushed the wooden stick away, and then counterattacked casually, when the opponent was left clumsy, he suddenly discarded the long sword and punched away. Mei Tian didn't expect that he would abandon his sword and use his fist, and hastily swung his stick to block, but he let out a miserable snort, and was sent into the door by his punch. The gate of the main house finally fell. The series of handovers between the two sides was completed within a few breaths, and only at this time did the others have a chance to attack Xu Ziling again. Xu Ziling stepped into the hall with big strides, using his hands to unleash his strength, causing the attackers to fall left and right, and the army was routed.Mei Tian attacked again with his stick, Xu Ziling of course would not be polite, he attacked with force, within ten strokes, one point hit the opponent's shoulder well, Mei Tian staggered and fell back, almost fell to the ground. After a fierce battle, there was no one in the hall who could fight. Xu Ziling looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "What's wrong with Mr. Huang? I, Yueshan, are here to collect debts!" Mei Tian suppressed the churning blood, and said ruthlessly: "Huang Gonggong is on the Fuju Building in Xishi, Yue Shan, if you have the guts, go find him!" Xu Ziling said disdainfully: "Is there a way to find Mr. Huang wrong? If the old man hadn't calmed down earlier, there would be no one left alive in this house today. You are lucky." Bing Ha smiled and walked away. Chang He and Kou Zhong sat at the same table yesterday, toasted and clinked happily.Chang He ordered seven or eight dishes in one go, no matter how big the two of them ate, they would never be able to eat so many meals. After pouring the yellow soup down his throat, Chang He panted and said, "One sentence from Madam Yin De is more powerful than ten sentences from His Royal Highness. Brother Mo is really a friend this time. From now on, Brother Mo's affairs will be my Changhe's affairs. .” Kou Zhongzheng was wandering around looking at the situation of the houses around Yuema Bridge, and said casually: "In addition to medicine, my younger brother is also obsessed with architecture, hey! This is an interest cultivated by my uncle." Chang He regarded him as a god, and praised him sincerely: "Brother Mo is so knowledgeable and talented, but Chang'an is a new city, and the oldest buildings are only decades old." Kou Zhong nonsense said: "The old and the new are not important, the most important thing is the creative architecture. Is there anyone in Chang'an who has research and experience on this aspect?". Chang He said: "Of course the great architect of the previous generation was Wen Qing. He supervised the construction of Chang'an City. The person we should look for now should be Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. No one is more familiar with the architecture of Chang'an City than him." Kou Zhong was overjoyed and said, "Can you arrange for me to meet with the Master of the Ministry of Industry?" Chang He said happily: "You can't even think about it. He just came to me yesterday and asked Brother Mo if he could heal his son, but how could I have time to talk to him yesterday?" Suddenly he leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Kao Zhi is here again!" Kou Zhong looked at the entrance, Da Da Zhi was going up the building boldly, the leader was Li Mi, followed by Wang Bodang, Kou Zhong was so frightened that he turned his head away, his heart was beating wildly. Chang He said again: "Fuju Building is very lively today, even the old man Huang from the Nanhai faction came, and he was accompanied by King Qi's favored general Yu Wenbao and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Zhang Liang." Kou Zhong took a sneak peek, and sure enough he saw the "Immortal Immortal" Huang Gongcuo who looked like a fairy, talking and laughing happily with the two at the other corner. Chang Heyan returned to the topic and returned to the previous topic: "Since Mr. Mo intends to get acquainted with Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Industry, I will accompany Mr. to visit later and guarantee that he will welcome him." Kou Zhong was about to answer, Da Dazhi came over to say hello to the two of them, and said with a smile, "Let's go to Shanglin Garden to have another drink tonight, and my younger brother will be our little host, and you two will be rewarded with thin noodles when we leave." Kou Zhong thought that Li Mi and Wang Bodang might also be two of the guests, so he hurriedly said: "It's not that villains don't appreciate noodles, but... ah! The so-called people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat, so they have to run around for consultation later on. If you don't believe me, you can ask General Chang." Chang He kept nodding his head. In fact, he didn't have much affection for Da Dazhi, an outstanding swordsman of the foreign race, and he didn't want to get close to him. Hearing the words, Da Dazhi sat down unceremoniously, and when he was about to speak, a deep and hoarse voice came from the direction of Yuema Bridge: "Huang Qisha, immediately get the 'Yue Ba Dao' off!" !" The entire Fuju Building, which was originally noisy, immediately became silent. Kou Zhong poked his head to look, and was shocked to see "Yueshan" standing on the head of the bridge, exuding an incomparable domineering aura. He couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart, and understood the purpose behind Xu Ziling's actions.
