Chapter 384 Chapter 2 King Qi Returns to Beijing

Accompanying Li Jiancheng were Xue Wanche and Feng Liben, and the three of them borrowed the East Chamber to have a secret conversation with Kou Zhong.None of the Sha family members were invited.Kou Zhong has special scruples about Xue Wanche, because he sees through that no matter his intelligence or martial arts, he is the top choice in Li Jiancheng's group of princes.After Li Jiancheng wentssip, he turned to the main topic and said: "Listening to Concubine De's words, Mr. Mo is determined to help the world with medical skills, and he wants to travel around the world according to his family's order, so he has no intention of being an official in our Tang Dynasty. Is there such a thing?"

Only from the fact that he got this news from Concubine Yin De so quickly, he knew that he and Concubine Yin De had a close relationship.Of course, it is also possible that Chang He told him to know, but this possibility is not very high, because it involves Kou Zhong's praise of him. Xue Wanche and Feng Liben stared at Kou Zhong with twinkling eyes, to see how he would answer. Of course Kou Zhong knew there was a reason for his words, to see if he was someone who could be bribed, and he didn't hesitate to mobilize people so eagerly to go to the Sha's house to talk to him, there must be some imminent matter that required his cooperation.If what he said was unreasonable, it would be strange if Li Jiancheng didn't doubt him.

Kou Zhong sighed: "Your Highness, it is clear that when a man comes out to make a living, no one wants to make a fortune. Just because my uncle is good at matching people, he confirmed that the villain's fortune in the past ten years has been full of dangers, and he must travel north and south alone. Uncertainty can only be resolved, and only then can the villain practice medicine everywhere." Li Jiancheng was relieved: "It turns out that Mr. Mo has this difficulty, so it is easy to handle. My highness will give you a sum of money for travel expenses first, and when you come back from exhaustion in the next day, my highness should have ruled the world by then, and Mr. Baobao can enjoy it endlessly." glory and wealth."

Kou Zhong pretended to have bright eyes, watching Feng Liben put a heavy bag on the table beside him. Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "Here is two hundred taels of gold, please be careful, sir." Kou Zhong was shocked all over, bowed to the ground and thanked him: "Thank you for the reward, Your Highness." After sitting down again, Kou Zhong felt that both Feng Zhengben and Xue Wanche were less guarded and looked more relaxed. Li Jiancheng said: "Now that we are all on our own, my Highness might as well just speak plainly. Suppose the emperor asks about Zhang Jieyu's illness, and I hope that my husband can tell the truth, so I will present the cause of my lady's strange illness. What Shanglinyuan said to His Highness is that he has been poisoned by the slow and severe poison of cold and heat.”

Kou Zhong screamed inwardly, if he didn't know the situation, he would automatically cooperate and enter the game, guaranteeing that he would not end well, if it was someone else, under such coercion and lure, who would dare not submit obediently. He bowed his head and said: "Of course, the villain knows how to play back to the emperor!" Li Jiancheng and the three of them all showed joy. Xue Wanche said lightly: "Mr. Mo must keep in mind that this matter must not be brought forward to the emperor. You need to wait for the emperor to inquire, and then explain the details without hesitation. Mr. Mo is a big expert in medicine, and he is better than us laymen. Know how to speak seamlessly."

Kou Zhong was startled in his heart, Rishang replied: "This bag is on the villain, the villain will carefully draw up a speech, and put it on the plate when the emperor asks." Seeing that he was so familiar, Li Jiancheng said happily, "Mr. Mo has indeed lived up to His Highness's expectations of you. I wonder how long Mr. Mo will stay in Chang'an?" Kou Zhong thought to himself that when Lao Tzu brought out the treasure, even if you knelt down and begged me to stay, you would not agree.On the surface, he replied humbly: "It should be about 20 days. Because of my uncle's instructions, I can't stay in one place for more than a month."

Li Jiancheng stood up, and said: "Since you still have a period of time to stay in Chang'an, Your Highness will choose two young and beautiful court ladies to serve you as bed attendants, to ensure your satisfaction." Kou Zhong was taken aback, thinking to himself that every move of Lao Tzu is under the supervision of you, Li Jiancheng?Quickly jumped up and said: "Your Highness's kindness, the villain can only appreciate it. Because of my uncle's words, the bad luck has not passed, and you must never approach women." Li Jiancheng said in astonishment: "There is such a strange taboo. Uncle Ling is indeed an extraordinary person. Ha! So, wait for Mr. to return from his travels, and His Highness will make arrangements for him."

Kou Zhong sent the three of them to the gate, watched them ride away surrounded by personal guards, was about to sneak out to meet Xu Ziling, bumped into the second young master Sha and returned successfully, caught him straight, and insisted on dragging him back into the room to talk , I had to sigh bad luck. Sitting down in a corner of the lobby, Sha Chenggong said happily: "Brother Mo is indeed a god of medicine. After you gave me the acupuncture, Mrs. Qing's whole body has been reborn. The pain has disappeared, and I am very happy. Please tell me how you can do it." I want to invite Brother Mo to have a casual meal at Feng Ya Ge tonight, and let her thank you in person. So my younger brother once said that appearance is not important, the most important thing is whether you have real skills. But you must never touch Mrs. Qing. Hee! Apart from Mrs. Qing and Miss Xi'er, Feng Ya Ge is full of beauties, tonight Brother Bao Baomo is full of beauty and blessings."

Kou Zhong thought to himself that I came to Chang'an to fight for world supremacy, how could I have the leisure to go whoring with you.Shaking his head with a embarrassed expression, he sighed: "I was born to work hard. Later, your brother-in-law, Mr. Chang He, will come to see me. I don't know which royal family member is going to be treated. The Yan Fu on Mrs. Qing's side, I have to trouble you two." The young master is going to enjoy it alone. Ha! Look, I want to get a tonic for the second young master to nourish your body." This remark was half-truth and half-false, and Sha Chenggong obviously had scruples about Chang He, so he had to say with a bitter face: "No problem, but can I try to get away as much as possible to go around? Otherwise, it will be difficult for my younger brother to explain to Xi'er."

At this time, the servants come to report, and Chang He will arrive. Kou Zhong was amused in his heart, and even more afraid that Sha Chenggong would "confront" Chang He, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, let's figure it out!" Hastily out to meet often where to go. dusk. Xu Ziling turned back into a yellow-faced man, Yong Qin, and Lei Jiuzhi met in Hou Xibai's small courtyard, and were about to go out for dinner before taking him to the casino, when Hou Xibai happened to sneak in.This is not a coincidence, but at certain hours every day, Lei Jiuzhi will come here to wait, to see the news left by Hou Xibai, or to meet up.

Hou Xibai shook his head and said, "Li Yuanji and Yang Wengan are back!" Xu Ziling and Lei Jiuzhi looked at each other, which may mean that the two gave up intercepting them outside the customs and started in Chang'an instead, or they guessed that they had sneaked into Chang'an, so it is more natural to come back to deal with them. Hou Xibai said: "This matter is quite strange. According to reports, Ziling and the young marshal once appeared in Weinan, another big city near Chang'an in the Guan, and also ran into people from the local Jingzhaolian and injured several people. Came back after hearing the news." Lei Jiuzhi asked in surprise, "Where did Xi Bai hear this news?" Hou Xibai replied: "It was someone from Prince Qin's mansion who told me. When I saw King Qin again just now, he asked me how much chance I have of winning if I fight against Dazhi. I remembered that Ziling can take care of it, so I said I was 50% sure. The king of Qin was very happy after hearing this, and gave me ten taels of gold, exactly double the amount that Li Jiancheng gave." Lei Jiu pointed to Xu Ziling and said, "Li Shimin must have run out of patience with Li Jiancheng." Xu Ziling nodded and said: "That should be the case. The so-called Buddha also has fire! Li Jiancheng's biggest mistake was to introduce Turkic people, which made Li Shimin feel that he was in danger. In fact, the success or failure of the factional struggle in Guanzhong has evolved to whether the Eastern Turkic The juncture of a large-scale invasion." Hou Xibai said: "In my opinion, Li Shimin is very troubled. Although he was an invincible commander on the battlefield, when he returned to Chang'an, he was faced with another method of struggle, conspiracy and tricks, and he used all kinds of tricks. Moreover, Li Jiancheng is the legitimate heir to the throne, and he has formed a party with Li Yuan's favorite concubine, and with the backing of the Demon Sect and the Turkic people, Li Shimin can be said to be completely at a disadvantage of being beaten, and I really can't think of any way to help him." Lei Jiuzhi was puzzled and said: "Li Shimin is very prestigious in the Tang army, as long as he gives an order, wouldn't it be possible to beat Li Jiancheng to death, even Li Yuan can't do anything about it." Hou Xibai shook his head and said: "The Tang family practiced the government military system. When they return home after a battle, the government soldiers return to the fields, just like ordinary people. If the central government wants to recruit government soldiers, they will issue military talismans to the local prefectures and counties. The governor and Zhechong Duwei jointly verified that the military talisman was correct before they could send troops. The training was carried out in different places every winter. Imagine that if Li Shimin wanted to repatriate his troops, he first had to obtain the military talisman from Li Yuan, and secondly, how could he make such a big move? If you don't disturb Li Jiancheng, the Tiance Mansion may be smashed to pieces before the soldiers arrive. Xu Ziling began to understand the role of Yang Wenqian, the leader of a big gang who dominates a party like this, can mobilize a large number of people to deal with it without military talismans Anyone. And the Turkic masters headed by Dazhi can play a decisive role in this situation. Hou Xibai said again: "Li Shimin has repeatedly asked Li Yuan to let him send troops to attack Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang who are in Taiyuan. The crown prince and concubine Bin's talk of sabotage was precisely because they were afraid that Li Shimin, seeing the situation was not good, would support his troops outside to support himself, and even turned his guns to attack Chang'an. " Lei Jiuzhi suddenly said: "No wonder Li Shimin values ​​you as an outsider so much. If you can severely defeat Dazhi's prestige, at least you can kill Li Jiancheng's arrogance. Looking around the Tiance Mansion, although you are like a cloud of masters, the company commander Sun Wuji They have all suffered losses in the hands of Dazhi, fighting alone, there is no one who can stand up to Dazhi." Hou Xibai smiled wryly and said, "That's why King Qin asked me to accompany him to the palace to attend a grand banquet tomorrow night. This trip will depend on Ziling's skills!" Xu Ziling said in astonishment: "Tomorrow night! Alas! I just wanted to tell you a plan to deal with Yang Xuyan, and unfortunately it will be carried out on tomorrow night." Then he detailed the possible assassination of Gao Zhandao by Yang Xuyan during the New Year's Eve dinner at the Tongxing Society tomorrow night. When Hou Xibai frowned, Lei Jiuzhi smiled and said: "Don't worry! Yang Xuyan has a close relationship with the Tang family, how dare he not attend this kind of occasion, if he really wants to engage in an assassination operation, it will only succeed in advance." Afterwards, or leave under excuses. As long as we deploy properly, there is still a chance to kill him." Hou Xibai shined brightly and said: "This trip must not let him slip away, otherwise the identities of Ziling and the young commander will be exposed." Xu Ziling said: "Even if he knew our identities, or managed to slip away just before the battle, he would never make it public. It's just that our situation is more dangerous." The two stared at him puzzled. Xu Ziling further explained: "The reason is very simple, because his master, also brother Hou's master Shi Zhixuan, is waiting for us to hide Yang Gongbao, and other things are secondary to him." Lei Jiuzhi clapped his legs and said happily: "This will allow us to let go and do it without any scruples." Hou Xibai said: "This time it's my younger brother's turn to tell Ziling what happened in the past two days pretending to be Mo Wei!" Kou Zhong pulled Chang He Fan out of the gate, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk when we go out." Chang Hezhu's four subordinates gave up a ride to Kou Zhong, and the two of them rode out of Sha's new house and walked towards Yuema Bridge. Kou Zhong pretended to be distressed, and said "in pain": "The villain was almost killed by the second young master. Fortunately, you, Chang, came to rescue me, otherwise I don't know how to get out." Chang He said with a smile: "Does the success require Mr. to treat the well-known Mrs. Qingqing?" Kou Zhongdao: "There is no problem with the treatment, but I am most afraid that he will ask me to drink and socialize with the beauties in the brothel. Alcohol can mess up the sex, and the sex will be even worse. The villain is practicing boy skills. If I break it, I will be in my thirties. Years of painstaking efforts have been exhausted." Chang He showed a sympathetic look and didn't know how to comfort him for a while. Kou Zhong hit the snake with his stick and said: "Can Master Chang do the villain a favor?" Chang He showed the true colors of a loyal man, patted his chest and said: "Brother Mo, don't say anything, and I will do it for you as much as I can." Kou Zhong lowered his voice and said: "For the past two days, I have been treating people day and night, and I was so exhausted that I almost died. After returning home, I was haunted to death by the second young master. Hey! You also know that sometimes I have to rest quietly by myself. Can I presume that I should go to see a doctor at your request when I am hiding?" Chang He said happily: "There is no problem with this, but the emperor ordered me to inform you that Brother Mo will definitely attend the big banquet in the palace tomorrow night, and my younger brother will come to pick Brother Mo into the palace at that time." Kou Zhong's remarks just now were just to find an excuse not to stay in Shafu for the reunion dinner, so as to deal with Yang Xuyan's assassination, but now he is speechless because of it, feeling terrible. Chang He said again: "Brother Mo has grown up to be the most popular person. Not only the emperor and His Royal Highness value you, but even King Qi, who just came back this morning, wants to invite you to Fengya Pavilion tonight. This little brother dare not speak for you. You push back." Kou Zhong groaned in his heart, after wandering around, he still wanted to go to Qi Wang Yuanji's dinner party, he said dejectedly: "Aren't I going to go to the palace early tomorrow morning to see your mother?" Chang He said: "Of course King Qi knows, so Brother Mo just needs to go to his banquet for a while." Kou Zhong made the last effort, and sighed: "Brother Chang seems to have forgotten that I practice boy kungfu, and I am most afraid of temptation." Chang He said: "This bag is on me. I will secretly inform King Qi and ask him to arrange it properly. Baobao ensures that no one will seduce your brother." Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said: "When will King Qi's banquet be held? If there is still some time, I'll go home and have a good sleep first to recover some energy. This is called health preservation." Chang He glanced at the sun that was sinking in the west, and said: "There is still an hour, it doesn't matter if Brother Mo is late, the younger brother will speak up for Brother Mo!" Kou Zhong confessed his crime, turned his horse's head, and slipped away like a fly.
