Don't look at Zhen Quan, who still has black hair on his temples and healthy teeth. In fact, he was born in the seventh year of Datong in the Southern Liang Dynasty and lived until the sixth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty. He is already eighty-two years old. According to historical records, if there is no

If anything unexpected happens, he will live to the seventeenth year of Zhenguan and die at the age of one hundred and three, which shows that he is an expert in health preservation.

Zhen Quan originally went to bed early last night as usual, but before he could fall asleep, someone sent by King Qi woke him up from his bed. They then rescued Wu King Li Fuwei, who had fainted, at the Prince of Qi's Mansion, using acupuncture and moxibustion.

He prepared the medicine and worked hard all night long to save the life of the King of Wu. During that period, he also witnessed the terrifying thunderous methods of the King of Qi and was greatly frightened. Later, he was killed.

They were forced into the carriage and accompanied by Qi King Li Yuanji, they rushed all the way to Zongsheng Temple, which was a hundred miles away from Chang'an.

But he still didn't get much time to breathe. When he saw Ju Guozhen actually letting his disciples come up to play with fire, his heart felt as if he had been thrown into the alchemy furnace to be tortured. He really didn't know what he was doing.

Can my old body, which was well maintained, be able to hold on?

Ju Guozhen had long seen Zhen Quan's fatigue and panic. Now when he heard what the other party said, he was naturally a little moved in his heart. He comforted him honestly: "I won't hide it from Zhen Quan. It's because of this."

The matter is big, and it is noon now, less than five hours away from Haishi, and the refining of this medicine takes up to two hours at a time, and there is no room for any mistakes in the equipment during the process, so the poor man will let it go.

She's here to take care of the medicine furnace."

Zhen Quan said nervously: "What! This means that the mage is not sure that she can successfully refine this medicine within two chances, so she..." As he spoke, he involuntarily raised his hand and pointed at Li Yao.

Seeing Zhen Quan's movements, Ju Guozhen naturally knew what he meant. He looked eagerly at Li Yao, who was concentrating on the operation, stroked his beard, and said firmly: "She can do it."

…

…

When Li Yao began to go all out to refine the tiger and wolf medicine in Jindan Pavilion, Qi King Li Yuanji was gritting his teeth and reading a secret letter in the Zhike Hall of Zongsheng Palace.

Seeing the person named in the letter, Li Yuanji was extremely angry, but he was holding back his anger and couldn't let it out.

In fact, Li Yuanji knew very well that Wu King Li Fuwei was not only obsessed with taking stones and elixirs due to physical reasons and extreme boredom, but also because of the conspiracy between Wu King's so-called "neck-cutting acquaintance" and a certain Huainan Taoist priest.

, and the alchemists driven away from Prince Wu’s Mansion were all disciples of the Huainan Taoist priest.

It is actually quite understandable that they would do such a thing. After all, King Wu Li Fuwei was detained in Chang'an, and the Jianghuai army was leaderless. Moreover, Zhang Shanan of Hongzhou suddenly rebelled recently, making the current situation in Jianghuai very unstable. It is inevitable that something will happen.

The arrogant and ignorant clown wanted to secretly kill Li Fuwei in Chang'an, and then happily blame it on the Tang Dynasty court. Then he jumped out and raised his arms, unfurling a banner to avenge "Du Fuwei" and took advantage of the opportunity.

Gather the original team of King Wu and work together with Zhang Shanan to seize Jianghuai.

Haha, it’s really a daydream, so stupid!

Not only Li Yuanji, but also his father, his eldest brother Prince Li Jiancheng, and even his second brother Qin Wang Li Shimin, with whom he had difficulty dealing with, could predict all this.

His father asked him to protect Du Fuwei and asked him to have a good relationship with him. He hoped that the imperial court could take over the Jianghuai armies safely in the future, or at least delay the chaos in the Jianghuai River so that the Tang army could mobilize sufficient troops to do a thorough job.

Preparations for pacifying the Jianghuai River.

However, Tiance Mansion couldn't wait any longer.

After he returned from assisting Prince Jiancheng in quelling the rebel king Liu Heita, his father gave Prince Jiancheng the responsibility for the northern part of Pingfan.

Li Yi, King of Yan, Li Yuan, King of Lujiang, Duan Decao, Dou Cong, Li Zihe, Li Zhi'an, Li Sixing and other border generals were all loyal to the East Palace and the Qi Palace.

It can be said that his father's move seriously weakened the military power that his second brother, King of Qin Li Shimin, relied on to maintain his own power and prestige.

However, if King Wu died suddenly and suddenly, the Jianghuai armies would definitely rebel, and the Tang court would have to use troops immediately.

However, he and Prince Jiancheng were unable to take on the task of pacifying the Jianghuai River in the face of the Turks and Tuyuhun forces that were about to move in the near future.

However, the second brother Li Shimin, who already knew the Jianghuai armies very well, was able to take the opportunity to recommend himself to his father for the southern expedition, re-organize the troops to fight, and easily achieved the success of quelling the rebellion.

It was precisely because of this that Du Yan, a soldier of Tiance Mansion, planned the scene that made him extremely crazy in Prince Qi's Mansion last night.

This Du Yan did not hesitate to sacrifice Tiance Mansion's secret agent in the Qi Prince's Mansion, but also wanted Wu King Li Fuwei to be killed in the Qi Prince's Mansion, and then let Li Yuanji inexplicably carry a slogan called "Inspiring the Jianghuai armies to rebel against the Tang Dynasty"

"The big scapegoat is a poisonous plan that kills two birds with one stone!"

What made him most angry was that Du Yan, the "poisonous man" whom he hated even after being cut to pieces with a thousand cuts, was indirectly recommended to Tiance Mansion by the provider of the secret letter in his hand.

!

Now this old fox knows that they are on the same page, but reveals such a big secret to him. What does it mean?

Could it be that because he saw that the current prince was completely overpowering the King of Qin, he wanted to help him overcome this difficulty to achieve the purpose of changing the family and joining the prince?

In any case, the emergence of a traitor with such a high status in Tiance Mansion must be a great thing for his eldest brother, Prince Jiancheng!

If King Wu Li Fuwei can appear at court on time and without incident tomorrow, he will definitely teach his second brother Li Shimin how to reap the consequences of his own actions.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanji's eyes towards Mi Xin became more and more fierce, as if an invisible murderous aura gradually filled the entire room.

…

…

Unknowingly, two hours passed, and Li Yao finally completed his first refining of medicine.

Zhong Kui, who was waiting nearby, saw that Li Yao had extinguished the fire. He immediately stepped forward and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace. He used iron tongs to take out the medicine that had been burned into lumps. After it cooled down, he put it into a grinder and pounded it into powder.

Pour Jingyun into a pot and dissolve it with distilled water from a silver pomegranate jar.

Ju Guozhen was holding a porcelain bottle and was about to put the dissolved medicine into the bottle. However, he saw that Zhen Quan, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, had already left the table. He came over and dipped a little of the medicine in the pot with his finger.

Put it on the tip of your tongue and lick it.

Zhen Quan tasted it carefully for a moment, and said with some disappointment: "This medicine is barely successful, but the refining temperature is too high, and the medicinal properties of the herb are too much lost, so the medicinal properties are weak. I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the expected effect after taking it once."

Effect."

Li Yao frowned and was about to ask the reason when he heard Jingyun say: "In that case, you can increase the amount of medicine you take. If one bottle is not enough, then use two bottles."

"The female Taoist is wrong." Zhen Quan waved his hand and explained: "The toxicity of this medicine is far greater than its beneficial properties. If you take two bottles, although the dosage is enough, the poisonous dosage will be doubled. I'm afraid

King Wu died on the spot after taking it."

Hearing this, Ju Guozhen turned to Li Yao and encouraged: "If my disciple comes again, he will definitely succeed this time!"
Chapter completed!
