"Where do all these problems come from? Let's go find them."
Feng He immediately went downstairs to find someone.
After a while, I actually found a woman.
Feng He walked in front, and the woman walked behind him. This woman had a thick waist and fat buttocks, and she had a strong body odor.
"Sir, this person has been a peddler from Xixia. He can speak Xixia."
Feng He borrowed this woman from a shop.
The markets in Xixia often have businessmen from the Western Regions, so translators are needed.
This woman is used by the store as a translator and usually does some menial work.
Long Chen nodded and said, "Follow me."
After entering the room, the woman was sitting there. Long Chen said to the fat woman: "Can you ask her what her name is?"
The fat woman muttered a few words, and the woman responded.
"She said her name was Zalisa, she was from the country of Uzbekistan, she was caught by human traffickers and sold here."
Feng He looked at Zalisa carefully and said, "Master, how much did you spend on this girl?"
Long Chen said: "10 gold coins."
Feng He praised: "My lord, you have good taste. You can buy something like this with 10 gold coins."
Just now, Feng He was watching the excitement in the north of Baixi Garden. Finally, the dancer from the Western Regions was bought for 3,000 gold coins.
In contrast, although the Zalissa in front of her was not that charming, she had a kind of nobility.
So Feng He thought that Long Chen would buy things.
"May I have your name?"
Long Chen turned to look at the fat woman. This woman actually had a beard on her upper lip. Long Chen really didn't understand why women had beards.
The fat woman replied: "My name is Lacanon."
Long Chen said to Feng He: "Go to her owner and ask if you can sell her to me and serve her as a maid to Zalisa."
Feng He immediately took Lacanon out. After a while, Feng He came back with others, cursing and saying: "What a profiteer. He actually raised the price from the ground up. A woman like this costs 50 gold coins."
Long Chen smiled and said: "I can speak Western Region dialect and Xixia language, and the price is reasonable."
"Lacanon, you have only one mission, which is to serve Zalisa and teach her to speak our language."
Zakanon had to do a lot of menial work at the original owner's place, but now he only needs to serve, and he is naturally happy in his heart.
"Master, don't worry, I will serve you well."
Long Chen left the room and returned to his guest room.
Feng He closed the door and asked, "Sir, did you see anything?"
Feng He didn't believe that Long Chen just bought a female slave casually. He must have other plans.
Long Chen said: "No, I just bought a female slave."
"Have you found out clearly about Concubine Li?"
Feng He sat down and said, "I have found out clearly that Concubine Li was stabbed on the left side of her face by a fragment of a white jade chessboard. It is not serious in fact. It is just that after the wound healed, a small scar was left."
Long Chen nodded slightly: "So, this matter cannot be solved? There are so many imperial doctors in the palace?"
Feng He shook his head and said: "There is nothing we can do about this kind of thing. We left more scars on the battlefield than she did. If there was a way, we would have removed the scars on our bodies long ago."
After decades of fighting on the battlefield, his body is scarred, and these scars cannot be concealed.
It's very troublesome when it comes to interrogation.
As long as the interrogating officers and soldiers saw the scars on Feng He's body, they would know that he was no ordinary person.
Long Chen said: "Can't you remove it? If you can't remove it, just cover it up."
Feng He shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not. There is no shortage of rouge, gouache and the like in the palace. Then Concubine Li probably just wants to remove the scar."
"Sir, there is nothing we can do about this matter. Don't make any mistakes. The risk of getting into Shi Le's harem is too high."
"I also heard that the noble concubine Li Yan was not a good troublemaker. The first few people who exposed her were ineffective in the palace and were executed by Ling Chi. The method was quite cruel."
Feng He probably guessed what Long Chen was thinking. Long Chen wanted to sneak into Shi Le's harem and make fun of Shi Le's concubines.
Feng He did not agree with this approach. It was too dangerous.
"Just because they don't have the ability, it doesn't mean that I don't have the ability. I have a secret method that I can try."
Feng He asked: "When did your Excellency become proficient in medical skills?"
Long Chen took a pen and paper and wrote down some medicinal materials: beef marrow, sake, cloves, patchouli, artemisia annua, a casserole, a porcelain jar, and some gauze.
"Take this list and go shopping. I'll use it when you come back."
Feng He took the order and said hesitantly: "Sir, the purpose of our trip is to recruit Ti Temple, so why don't we avoid unnecessary complications?"
Long Chen sneered: "Shi Le is on the front line of Yangcheng. Isn't it normal for me to do something in his harem?"
Long Chen would not let go of any opportunity against an enemy like this who killed his brother and his father.
Feng He collected the order and said, "I understand."
Feng He knew very well how big the hatred between Long Chen and Shi Le was.
There is no way Long Chen can take revenge too much for the blood feud of one hundred thousand Long family troops.
Feng He went out to buy things, while Long Chen was practicing the Mad Lion Technique in the room.
Kongji, the old bald donkey, is practicing in Yangcheng, and Long Chen can't be lazy.
By the time Feng He came back from shopping, it was already dark.
Things were placed on the table, and Feng He asked: "What should you do, sir?"
Long Chen said: "You don't have to worry about it, I will do it myself."
Long Chen remembered that he had read a book called "Essential Techniques for Qi Min", which recorded the method of making facial masks.
Long Chen followed the steps recorded in the book, first soaking in incense, then boiling oil, adding spices, then developing color, and finally filtering.
Of course, this is just what is said in the book. Long Chen is not sure whether it has any effect.
In the next few days, Long Chen tinkered with things in the inn, while Feng He went outside to inquire about information, and sometimes went to the stall to sell goods.
After a few days, the liquid in the porcelain jar gradually condenses, and the facial butter with color and fragrance is completed.
Long Chen took the facial cream and entered Zalisa's room. Lakanon was beside her, giving Zalisa a pat on the back.
Seeing Long Chen come in, Zalissa immediately stood up and looked at Long Chen with hostile eyes.
Lacanon's attitude was very good, and he quickly bowed: "Master."
After Zalissa was bought back, Long Chen was well fed and fed, and his energy seemed much better, but the skin on his face was still not good.
"Tell her that I made facial cream, which I put on my face. It can beautify my face. Let her try it."
Lacanon immediately chirped to Zalisa for a while, and Zalisa curiously looked at the facial butter in the porcelain jar and said a few words with some caution.
Lacanon said: "She said, will this be poisonous?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "She is the slave I bought back, why should I poison her?"
"Using this can remove scars on the face and make the skin delicate. I made it specially for her."
Lacanon jabbered to Zalissa again, and Zalissa nodded slightly.
Long Chen walked over and took out a ball of dough from the porcelain jar. Zalisa instinctively avoided it.
Since buying it back, Long Chen has never touched Zalisa, and the two of them cannot be said to be very familiar with each other.
It's normal for Zalisa to avoid.
Long Chen held Zalisa's shoulders and said, "Don't move, I'll wipe it for you."
Zha Lisha's shoulders shrank, but in the end she didn't move, letting Long Chen apply facial grease on her face.
After finishing the application, Long Chen said to Lacanon: "Tell her to follow this method and apply it once every morning and evening."
Racanon immediately replied: "Yes master."
Long Chen returned to his room, and Feng He hurried in and said, "Sir, I heard that there will be a large-scale child-seeking festival in Zhaoti Temple in a few days. There will be many people there. Shouldn't we make preparations?"
Long Chen asked: "When?"
Feng He said: "Five days from now, five days from now is the Child-seeking Festival at Zhaoti Temple."
Long Chen calculated in his mind and said: "Don't worry, I have already thought of a countermeasure. We will go there when the time comes."
Feng He asked: "We?"
Long Chen chuckled: "Old Feng, there will be a surprise then."
