In the south of the Yangtze River, Feng Guran was sitting in the most famous court prostitute. In his arms was a stunning woman, only covered by a red gauze. Her exquisite body was looming and very attractive. A dead warrior in black attire was kneeling on the ground.
Feng Guqiu looked at the letter in his hand. The expression on his face made it hard to tell whether he was angry or happy, but the chill in his eyes made people feel a little bit more pressure.
"That woman knows about herbal medicine?" It took a long time for a voice to be heard in the silent room.
Feng Guran glanced at the paper in his hand again, convinced that he had read it correctly. It was actually true. According to the news, the woman and the prime minister's son had opened a pharmacy together. Although it had not opened yet, it was under preparation.
.
He raised the corners of his lips, thinking of the woman in bed that night. Her stunning face didn't leave much of an impression on him, but her smart eyes left an impression on him.
"The person you sent didn't come back?"
"Master, no one has come back." The dead soldier kneeling below replied.
Feng Guran put the paper in his hand under the candlelight and lit it, then he went to the ground and narrowed his eyes slightly, "King Xian is still in Zhuangzi?"
After a few months in the south of the Yangtze River, although the floods were cured, a plague broke out. If he went back like this, not only would he not be convinced by everyone, but people would also say that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he delayed going back because there was no medicine.
I hurriedly got the medicine out of the military camp, but unexpectedly the medicine was stolen. It has not yet been found out that it was tampered with.
According to the information found by the spies, Lao Jiu has been recuperating in the capital and has never left the house. Naturally, it cannot be him. However, on the other hand, it can also mean that it is him. After all, during his recuperation, except for the woman, no one else
I haven't seen him before, maybe that woman is also helping her hide her whereabouts.
He immediately rejected the unwanted guess. Lao Jiu didn't have that ability. After being plotted by him, he couldn't even ride a horse for long, and he didn't have the backing of his mother clan. What could he do alone?
Thinking of this, Feng Guran's suspicion subsided, and she didn't think much about Mu Lingxue's memory of herbal medicine. There were many people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who knew herbal medicine, and she was the most talented woman, so it was normal.
But since he is in partnership with the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is he helping Lao Jiu contact the Prime Minister? Speaking of Prime Minister Lin, Feng Guran's eyes darkened again. That old guy didn't buy into him and the Queen's account at all.
What's abominable is that he still wins the heart of his father.
Although my father is no longer very involved in political affairs, he is not as confused as the rumors outside. If that were true, he would be the emperor now, and the real military power lies in his father's hands.
The woman in his arms saw his expression getting darker and darker, and shivered in fear, but she didn't dare to say a word. This man looked like a rich man, and his look in his eyes could freeze someone to death.
, but she just likes this kind of man. It's pity that she is a famous courtesan. Although she is just a performer and not a prostitute, she still can't get a real look from him.
"We're sending someone." He wanted to see who was hugging and protecting the woman.
Even his dead soldiers can silence him. This kind of skill is not something that the guards around Lao Jiu can do. He also knows about the losers around Lao Jiu, but he never thought that Lao Jiu would have the courage to let that woman save him.
her father.
His expression calmed down, could it be Lao Jiu and General Mu...? If so, wouldn't his decision for this marriage be the right one? On the one hand, he wanted to test whether the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty really sent General Mu to the border.
Is it a fake? On the one hand, I want to test whether Lao Jiu is safe.
The father has nine sons, Lao Jiu is the youngest, but he is also the only one who is still alive. How can this be said to be a coincidence or that he is lucky? Those princes are not ordinary characters, but they are still loved by him and the queen.
Okay,,,,so this time, he wants to see what Lao Jiu wants to play? If he really has any evil intentions, he will find an opportunity to stop it and save himself from worrying all day long.
The dead soldier had already gone down. Feng Guran pushed the woman in his arms away and said, "Go down."
The woman didn't dare to have any doubts and walked out in a panic.
Feng Guran was sipping wine by himself. After such a long time of loosening the net, he finally found a fish to take the bait. How could he be unhappy? But who dared to steal the medicine from the imperial court? He had no clues to find out. There was such a capable person.
Now, how could he not feel threatened? Obviously this matter was aimed at him.
Nowadays, in both the government and the public, those who go against him are suppressed, and they have offended many people. It is really difficult to find out who is secretly ruining his good deeds.
While Feng Guran was making calculations, Feng Guqiu, who was far away in Zhuangzi in the capital, was playing with orchids. While listening to the news reported by his subordinates, he slightly raised the corners of his lips, obviously in a good mood.
That woman really amused him, and he didn't expect that she would still be in the mood to collect people on the road. As for the dead soldiers, he had already asked the guards following behind to collect the bodies.
Yes, in his eyes, apart from interests and transactions, there is never anything superfluous. This woman has such a talent, how can he let her escape his control so easily.
It's just that he pushed her to his side. In order to protect himself, he didn't have to speak, and she wouldn't leave.
Feng Guran has always been a very domineering person. As long as he decides something, he has no room for maneuver and does not leave room for the other party. This all started when he was five years old.
The moment he watched his mother and concubine die in front of him, he knew that no one could protect him except himself, and he also knew that the true identity of the mother and son must be revealed.
If it hadn't been for the secret intervention of his mother and concubine, how could he still be alive in this world? He would have been destroyed by poison and various accidents long ago. And when the mother and concubine returned to her parents' home to visit relatives, she was killed in order to protect him.
die.
He even fell seriously ill due to Feng Guran. After he recovered, he couldn't work too hard while riding horses and shooting arrows. With no military exploits and no support from his mother's clan, he was just a useless person with nothing to offer.
This kind of hatred supported him to slowly make himself stronger and cultivate his own power. Now this is just the beginning, and he lives in shame for a better future.
Feng Guqiu didn't know that such a plan would make Mu Lingxue hate him. At this moment, Mu Lingxue was struggling among the patients. Cui Hao made the concoction for everyone to drink. God
It had already become dark, and the hunting guards had returned long ago to roast the prey.
Under the starry sky, there were fewer mourning sounds. The children who had grilled fish first had fallen into a deep sleep. In the past few days, they had not eaten and suffered from illness. Now that they were full, they would have already fallen asleep.
Exhausted, he fell asleep.
These fishes were also caught by Mu Lingxue from the stream. When it comes to her catching fish, it attracted everyone's attention. She only saw her holding a sharpened piece of wood and stabbing the fish in the stream.
Fish almost never miss.
Mu Lingxue secretly snickered. This was the advantage of having gone to school. She just used her knowledge of physics to know the principles of refraction, so she was able to stab accurately. In her previous life, she had stabbed many times, so naturally she was able to do it smoothly.
Lu'er is still excited, "Miss, you are so amazing today. The fish didn't even run away as if it was waiting for Miss to catch it."
Mu Lingxue took the grilled fish that was already smelling fragrant, smelled it, and put it back on the fire. "This is simple. I'll teach you when I have time. I'm sure to catch it right away."
Lu'er's eyes lit up.
But then she was attracted by the figure coming from behind, and Mu Lingxue turned around. That person was one of the people who had been rescued. He was very young and looked like a scholar.
"Young lady, I've met the girl." He bowed his hands, and it seemed that he was a polite person.
Mu Lingxue's first feeling was not unpleasant, "I wonder what's wrong with you, sir?"
By the light of the fire, you can still see the water beans on his face. After simple treatment during the day, they have healed, but these have not affected his bookishness. It can be seen that he was handsome before the water beans.
"Xiaosheng is the leader of the village in Zhaojia Village. The whole family can survive at this time only because of the girl's rescue. The whole family is willing to follow the girl forever." The scholar's words were neither humble nor overbearing, and he did not look like a flattering person.
.
"I did this without any intention of repaying you. I have told you how to deal with these water beans. You will take good care of yourself in the future and go back to live a good life." Mu Lingxue was surprised. She did not expect that this was a family.
What’s strange is that it’s the same family that got the water beans? Forget it, this is not something she, an outsider, should ask about, and it has nothing to do with her.
"Everyone else would avoid this matter. Who would come to the rescue like this girl, and ask her to fulfill the sincerity of the whole family, young and old, to follow her?" The scholar knelt down directly on the ground.
When Mu Lingxue saw such an ambitious scholar kneeling on her knees, she hurriedly avoided him and said, "Get up quickly and speak carefully if you have something to say. A man has gold at his knees. How can he kneel down at random?"
"Girl is the benefactor and benefactor of the entire clan, just like the birth parents of everyone." The scholar raised his head with a firm look on his face.
Mu Lingyun sneered from the side. They wanted to follow a famous prostitute in the capital. Could it be that they all wanted to become prostitutes? What a joke, but her smile immediately attracted countless cold looks, which frightened her.
She hurriedly shut up, feeling ashamed and resentful, her face filled with embarrassment.
"Following me will risk your life, are you willing?" Mu Lingxue looked at him with burning eyes.
"willing."
"Okay, then get up." Mu Lingxue looked at him seriously, "I have something to do right now. It's really inconvenient for you, young and old, to follow me while you are sick. You should recover from your illness first, and then go
If you go to the Yangshengtang Pharmacy in the Western Jin Dynasty and go to the shopkeeper there, just say you are looking for Qiangwei and someone will arrange it for you."
It was Mu Lingxue's time to employ people, and it was in line with her wishes that these people sincerely follow her. On the other hand, she couldn't bear to see these helpless people forced into poverty.
"The little man Zhao Zisheng has met his master." The scholar bowed greatly.
After sitting down and asking carefully, Mu Lingxue found out that it was not their clan that got the water beans in the whole village, but the officers and soldiers at the border of the Eastern Jin Dynasty divided the people in the village and drove them in different directions, and the clan members returned to one group on their own.
Came from inside.
Speaking of this, Zhao Zisheng obviously hated the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In their eyes, there was no difference between human life and ants.
