"My brother has a flawless face, but he is so charming~..."
"Yunli! Be honest!"
"Is it possible that my brother still likes wilder girls? If so, I..."
"No, no, it's better to be subtle..."
…
In the middle of the night, on the official road outside Yun'an City.
Ye Jingtang had two knives and a sword hanging on his waist, and he was carrying a sixteen-year-old girl on his shoulders as he walked quickly, looking like a flower picker who robbed a girl in the middle of the night.
Zhe Yunli took off her face towel. There were a lot of grass blades on her cloak. Her face was as red as if she was drunk. She lay on Ye Jingtang's shoulder and tried her best to look like a gentle and charming young lady:
"I said before that my brother thought I was squeamish after I behaved myself, but he still refused to admit it. Now it seems that it is really the case..."
"No, what are you talking about..."
Ye Jingtang walked and coaxed him, his eyes were really a little hopeless.
Just after getting off the boat, Xiao Yunli was already getting sick. She was restless and uncomfortable, and wanted to rush over with a knife to settle the score with the two people who shot her with darts.
Ye Jingtang was afraid that something might happen to Yunli, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he could only cover Yunli's mouth and run upstream.
After running for a mile and losing sight of the boats on the river, Yunli gave up the idea of settling accounts, but with nowhere to vent his energy, he started jumping on the grass by the roadside again. When he met residents on the roadside, he even rushed
I went up and frightened someone's dog so much that he almost jumped into the river.
Ye Jingtang knew that Yunli was not to blame, but he could not let it go. He could only forcefully carry Yunli on his shoulders and rush to Yutan Villa.
Zhe Yunli smelled the black feather grass and found that the dose was low and not to the point of being delirious, but he was extremely excited. He felt like a drunk Mengzi, and said:
"If you're not squeamish, put me down. I promise not to move around. It's just a little black feather grass. I was just pretending to be joking with you."
"Yeah?"
Ye Jingtang was dubious, so after thinking about it, he put Xiao Yunli on the ground. However, the next moment, Xiao Yunli, who was wearing a waist-length undershirt, ran forward, shouting as he ran:
"Haha~, you must have been deceived, come after me..."
"..."
Ye Jingtang knew this would happen. He took a deep breath, rushed to the front at full speed, caught Yunli who was about to do a backflip, and put it on his shoulders again:
"Okay, okay, a little bit of hallucinogen has made you so obsessed, and it's still the direct descendant of the leader of Pingtian. If it spreads, you will be laughed at to death..."
Zhe Yunli was twisting and turning at first, but when he heard these words, he was aroused to win or lose, and he became more honest:
"They say I was just pretending and just joking with you. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. From now on, I won't move or speak."
Ye Jingtang nodded: "Okay, what do you want to bet on?"
"If I win the bet, cousin Jing will give me one tael of silver every day from now on. My wife will only give me five taels of silver as pocket money a month, but she is stingy..."
Ye Jingtang naturally said cheerfully: "No problem, I will give you two taels of silver a day without telling your wife. What if you lose?"
Zhe Yunli looked back with difficulty from behind: "If I lose, how about I let cousin Jing kiss me and not tell my wife? Is it a big gamble?"
?
Ye Jingtang felt that this was indeed a big bet, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, it's a deal, let's start the gambling now, don't move, otherwise..."
"Hey~ I lost!"
Zhe Yunli twisted his body, trying to get closer:
"Come on, come on, I'm willing to admit defeat..."
?!
Holy shit!!!
Night Terror Hall never dreamed that one day it would be possible for a little girl to dig holes and tease her. Isn't this much more powerful than Fairy Lu's attack?
He quickly locked Yunli's legs so that she could not turn around:
"Yunli! Do you believe that I will go back and tell your wife?"
"This is Cousin Jing's bet. If you complain, I will tell the truth and we will die together..."
"..."
Ye Jingtang had no choice but to talk nonsense to stabilize Yunli's mood and speed along the river at full speed to Yutan Villa, which was more than ten miles away.
When the empress moved to Yutan Villa, the courtiers did not have to take her with her, but the cooks and doctors certainly could not. The Wang Family Medical Clinic was opened at Wende Bridge because she could enter the palace just by turning around, and could be summoned by the emperor at any time.
When the empress came to Yutan Villa, Dr. Wang, who had great medical skills, was naturally one of the entourage, along with Mrs. Wang, so that she could provide timely consultations to the empress dowager and other palace officials.
The Night Terror Hall carried a big girl on his back and held a waist tag. Under the strange eyes of many secret guards, he passed through the guard post and came to a yard outside the villa. The people inside were all special personnel who were inconvenient to spend the night in the palace, and
There are a few ministers who listen to the announcement at any time.
After Ye Jingtang glanced around, he landed directly in the courtyard where Dr. Wang lived. Because Dr. Wang was a national treasure-level miracle doctor, the courtyard where he lived was quite large. There were also some apprentices living in it. However, it was getting late and the lights in the courtyard were already dark.
Turned on the light.
"Mr. Wang? Mrs. Wang?"
Hearing the urgent shouting in the yard, the sound of the door opening in the back house was quickly heard, and then Mrs. Wang ran out of the house:
"Master Ye, has something happened? What happened to this girl?"
Xiao Yunli lay on her shoulders and raised her upper body like a carp:
"I'm fine! I'm so energetic that I can kill a cow!"
"Yo~ I can see it."
Mrs. Wang saw the girl alive and kicking, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She slowed down and came to her. After scanning Zhe Yunli's face, she led Ye Jingtang into a consultation room and asked:
"Did you eat red umbrellas and white umbrellas? How much did you eat?"
Ye Jingtang put Yunli on the hospital bed and held down her hands to stop her from moving:
"It's black feather grass. The Yamen was working on a case just now. She accidentally came across it and she smelled it."
"Oh I got it."
Mrs. Wang was suddenly enlightened. After checking Xiao Yunli's pulse, she asked the apprentice who came over to get a medicine bottle, poured out small pills from it, and put it into Xiao Yunli's mouth:
"Here, take medicine."
Zhe Yunli originally wanted to speak, but when he took the pill, the strong stimulation of mustard mixed with mint shot straight up to the sky. His whole body shivered, and his delicate features almost shrank together, and he couldn't breathe for a long time.
Ye Jingtang couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw this. He quickly helped Yunli up, smoothed his back, and asked:
"Is that enough?"
Mrs. Wang took out the silver needle, lifted up Yunli's long hair, inserted it into several acupuncture points on the back of her neck, and explained softly:
"The Karasuba herbal medicine is very strong and directly affects people's minds. The refreshing medicine can only help to suppress the strength of the medicine. To relieve the pain, it still needs to be digested by the body. She just smelled it, and the dose was very small. After the injection, she rested for a while and she was fine.
If you eat it directly or light it up and take a few puffs, it will be so strong that Mr. Ye will strip off his clothes and throw it... tossing his hair on the Wende Bridge."
"?"
Ye Jingtang felt that what Mrs. Wang wanted to say was to spin the wheel, but as a young man, he would definitely not dare to accept such dirty talk from a middle-aged woman, so he just nodded thoughtfully.
"Ahem..."
Zhe Yunli was so overwhelmed by the pills that he almost lost his breath. It took him a while to recover, but his cheeks were even redder than before, but his eyes were obviously clearer. Maybe he remembered his outrageous behavior just now, so he said:
"Yeah, this medicine is very strong. I can't control myself at all..."
"Hmph~"
Mrs. Wang straightened Yunli's head and continued to inject acupuncture:
"You just sniffed it. At most, you can't control your mouth like you drank too much. You say whatever's on your mind. The fact that your clothes are still intact when you come here means that you are conscious and know right and wrong. If you really swallowed it by mistake.
Black feather grass will feel hot all over the body, take off your clothes involuntarily, and yell like crazy..."
Zhe Yunli wanted to turn around again: "How is that possible? I really couldn't control it just now. My cousin Jing was holding me down before I took off my clothes..."
Ye Jingtang felt that Zhe Yunli was still in a state of ADHD, but her mind was clearer, so he raised his hand to help her lie down on the bed:
"Okay, I know you can't control it. Don't move around and let Mrs. Wang get the acupuncture..."
…
——
On the other side, in a manor by the river.
Two men dressed as guards carried wooden barrels to the manor. Before they entered the courtyard where the distinguished guests were staying, the tall Teng Tianyou stopped in front of them, with an unhappy look on his face:
"Why is it so slow to come back?"
Boom~
The big wooden barrel was placed on the ground. The man in black robe at the head bowed his hand and said:
"Just now, two river thieves got on the boat and got into the bottom. We ran into them head-on. Afterwards, we helped the guards to inspect the merchant ship..."
"Jiang Thief..."
Teng Tianyou frowned: "Throw it into the river to feed the fish?"
"Run away." The man in black robe felt a little ashamed:
"Those two Jiang thieves were quite tough. When I found out, they not only refused to run away, but turned around to fight. I fought with the leading female thieves and found that their martial arts skills were not low. I didn't dare to act rashly without knowing the details. The female thieves were also dragged away by my accomplices.
gone……""
Cha——
The man in black robe pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed at the gap that was made in it.
"Female thief..."
Teng Tianyou had been dormant in the capital for a long time and knew that there were many river thieves on the Qingjiang waterway, but he had never heard of female thieves with particularly explosive tempers.
At this moment, the old man in brocade robes wearing a cloak appeared behind him with the young man in green.
The young master in Tsing Yi was cautious and asked, "Could he be from the government?"
The man in black robe shook his head: "Impossible. If someone from the government investigates and is found out, he or she will show his identity by showing off his identity card. If he is afraid of alerting someone, he will run away quickly so that we can't figure out his identity. Those two people are good at martial arts and can run away directly.
, in the end, I threw a dart, and the leading female thief turned around and slashed with her knife, cursing while slashing. She had a gangster spirit that could never be raised by the imperial court. She looked more like a ruthless gangster who licked blood from the edge of her knife than my two brothers...
…”
"..."
After hearing this description, the young master in Tsing Yi felt that it was very unlikely that he was from the imperial court, so he stopped asking any more questions.
After all, the old man in brocade robes was more experienced in the world. After asking the two men to step back, he said:
"Be careful with the Wannian Ship. Deal with the ship and don't reveal your identity and purpose. By the way, go and tell the prince to start the battle as soon as possible. If King Liang gets the news and enters the game, I will jump out after I finish the move.
King Qin, then you really made someone else’s wedding dress.”
Teng Tianyou nodded, then turned to give instructions...
…
——
Along the Qingjiang River, thousands of palace lanterns were hung in the Mid-Levels Manor, and people were still walking around there late at night.
In the center of the villa, at the top of a towering observation building that offers a bird's-eye view of the wilderness, Xuanji, the real person, sat cross-legged in front of the piano table, plucked the strings with her bare hands, and played the music of resentment in the silent night:
"Dong~dongdong~..."
There is a painting table next to the piano table, bright yellow palace lanterns stand on both sides, and the golden light shining from the pen mountain paperweight shines.
The Queen Mother, dressed in a crimson palace dress, rolled up her sleeves with her left hand and carefully sketched on the white paper, looking like an accomplished calligrapher and painter.
Hongyu was mixing paints beside her, looking intently at the gradually taking shape of the painting, with a bit of admiration in her eyes. After all, the Queen Mother had indeed improved after being taught by Master Xuanji for a period of time, and she could at least see what the painting was about.
.
However, Hongyu's face was still a little confused. She raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky, then looked at the paper:
"The Queen Mother, today is July 20th and the moon is not full..."
"..."
The Queen Mother looked up and wanted to make some changes, but she had already drawn a circle and couldn't make a gap out of it, so she explained:
"This is freehand brushwork. Shui'er once said that painting emphasizes the meaning rather than the form, and only the three scrawled strokes leave a sense of calligraphy. This is a good painting. I just want the image to be inferior..."
Hongyu didn't dare to talk back to the Queen Mother, so she nodded as if she had some understanding.
After the Queen Mother prevaricated, she continued to describe the Hundred Scenes of the Qingjiang River. When she was looking at the many houses at the foot of the mountain, she saw a figure the size of a grain of rice, flying under the moonlight, ran into the buildings, and landed in a room.
In the yard, people couldn’t help but frown:
"Shui'er, something happened down there?"
"Dong~"
The sound of the piano paused.
The half-drunk Master Xuanji raised his eyes to the foot of the mountain, then sat up a little straighter, straightened his clothes and stood up:
"I gonna go see."
The Queen Mother felt that Shuishui's reaction was wrong, but she didn't want to interfere too much with the security matters. After watching Master Xuanji leave, she continued to paint.
Xuanji, who looked like an earthly goddess in white, rose and fell on the villa, but in a moment she had reached the foot of the mountain and landed in the courtyard where Dr. Wang stayed.
Looking up, he could see Ye Jingtang, dressed as a knight-errant, standing in the room, frowning and looking carefully.
Mrs. Wang is sitting sideways in front of the hospital bed, holding a silver needle in her right hand and applying acupuncture.
On the hospital bed was a little girl wearing a skirt. She looked like Ning'er's little apprentice. Her face was red and she was lying on the pillow, her legs dangling restlessly.
Seeing this, Master Xuanji wandered around the yard for a while. Ye Jingtang noticed it and came out and closed the door.
Squeak——
Master Xuanji stood at the gate of the courtyard. When Ye Jingtang came over, he asked softly:
"What's wrong with this girl? Did you drug her?"
Ye Jingtang shook his head, came to him and whispered:
"Don't be kidding. I just followed Fang Shijie and found a merchant ship. The cargo inside was dozens of barrels of Yanzhou soybean paste. There was black feather grass in the sauce cubes. There must be something wrong with Prince Yan, but I didn't find out the exact situation. It's not good.
To alert the snake. You can look after it for me, and I will continue to keep an eye on you. We will change shifts tomorrow morning..."
Master Xuanji looked around for a moment and saw that Ye Jingtang's face was full of dust, so he frowned and said:
"Where is the ship? I'll go check it out. I slept for a long time during the day and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep. If you don't recharge your batteries, will you still have the energy to solve it when you really encounter something serious? Go back to the villa to rest, don't
If you are too sleepy, if you have anything to do, go to your Majesty immediately."
After serving Sanniang last night, Ye Jingtang practiced some time skills and went to check on Prince Yan. He has been busy running around until now. Although he can bear it, it is best to rest. Seeing this,
smiled and said:
"Okay, let's change the boat at noon tomorrow. The boat is a mile upstream of Jiang'an Pier, flying the flag of the Yanzhou Chamber of Commerce. You can smell the smell of miso paste nearby, so it's easy to find. I just left a quarter of an hour ago. Even if they alerted the snake, they
There is no way to move the goods away so quickly. If you just sit back and wait, you will definitely catch someone. Remember not to move rashly until you catch a big fish. If Prince Yan is alert and reins in at this time, there is absolutely nothing we can do against him."
"Of course I know this."
Seeing this, Master Xuanji flew up and headed downstream without wasting any time.
After Ye Jingtang watched Master Xuanji leave, he returned to the room again. It could be seen that after a few injections by Mrs. Wang, Xiao Yunli, who had been moving around, had settled down and was lying on the pillow. His double eyelids were twitching and he was about to fall asleep.
It’s on.
After Mrs. Wang finished administering the acupuncture, she carefully checked her pulse for a moment, stood up and said:
"Black feather grass is not poisonous, but it can make people extremely excited. If you have physical problems, it is still very dangerous to be overly stimulated. The girl is fine now, but she has to stay here for a night to rest for observation. If there is anything unusual, she can be treated in time.
, I’ll just take care of you, Mr. Ye also has official duties, so you should go to bed early, it’s already late at night.”
Zhe Yunli's eyes were full of sleepiness and he was about to fall asleep, but Ye Jingtang sat next to him and opened his eyes, his face turned red and he was a little embarrassed:
"Then what... Black Feather Grass is really powerful, I even said that Cousin Jing couldn't hold me down... Whatever I said, don't take it seriously."
Ye Jingtang shook his head and chuckled: "It's just a joke, how can I take it seriously. As long as it's okay, I'll let others keep an eye on the case, so sleep peacefully."
"Hee~"
Zhe Yunli really didn't dare to think back to the scene where he was drunk and crazy just now, so he sighed and fell into a baby-like sleep.
Ye Jingtang stood aside and waited for a while. After Yunli fell asleep completely, he thanked Mrs. Wang and went to the villa...
