The first thousand five hundred and ninety-three chapters return to the capital
In broad daylight, Zeng Yi, who had already changed his appearance, entered the capital very easily. However, when he arrived at Sun Laodao's small courtyard, it was not that simple. As soon as he arrived there, Zeng Yi felt that several people around him had already
I noticed him secretly, and I knew without thinking that these people must be from Dongchang, here to protect Sun Laodao.
When he entered, Zeng Yi was intercepted. The servant guarding the door, Zeng Yi could clearly feel that this person was very powerful and probably had first-class skills. A top-notch Dongchang fanzi would be enough to guard the door.
It shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Sun Laodao.
"You're back!" The man quickly opened the door. Zeng Yi didn't say anything, nodded, and quickly ran to Sun Laodao. Sun Laodao was refining elixirs in the alchemy room. When he saw Zeng Yi coming back, he smiled slightly and took several
The servant rushed out.
After confirming that no one was there, the old man said: "You are really punctual. Come back at the right time. If it were only a few days later, this training pill would have been delayed!"
"Hey, how can this be possible? Such a precious elixir, I have to rush back here!" Zeng Yi replied with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Commander, you must have done a lot in these days, right?" Lao Dao knew Zeng Yi and the others' plans. As a member of the Imperial Guard's Mansion, he was naturally very concerned about the work of Zeng Yi and the others.
"Of course, let me tell you this, Sichuan is now under our control!" Zeng Yi said with some satisfaction.
"Sichuan! Okay, these adults really surprised me. They controlled the whole place so easily!"
While the two were talking, Zeng Yi suddenly noticed movement coming from outside, his face changed, and he immediately changed his words: "Master and disciple, you are lucky to have fulfilled your mission and finally found the classics you need! I was delayed for some time on the way, please."
Master punishes!"
When the old Taoist saw Zeng Yi doing this, he immediately understood that someone must be here. Just as he was about to follow Zeng Yi's words, a voice came from outside: "Did you hear that Young Master Jiao is back?"
As soon as he heard this voice, Zeng Yi immediately knew that it was the old eunuch who had come. He sighed to himself. If he hadn't been vigilant just now, the old eunuch might have overheard their conversation!
After a while, the door of the alchemy room opened, and the old eunuch walked in with a smile on his face, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Jiao. It took such a long time. If we had known that it would take so long, we would have done nothing to trouble Mr. Jiao!"
Zeng Yi quickly replied: "Actually, it's not too much trouble. It's just that we encountered some troubles on the way, so we were delayed for a few days!"
"Ouch! Didn't Mr. Jiao use our Dongchang brand? Why did he encounter trouble on the road?" the old eunuch asked curiously, looking like he was asking for details.
"Hey! The world is not at peace. I met some enemies from the past and it took some effort to solve it!" Zeng Yi quickly made up a reason to fool him. Zeng Yi immediately turned to Sun Laodao and said: "Master, what you need is
I have brought back the classics for you to take a look at." As he said that, he quickly took out the classics that he had brought out from Black Dragon Zee.
The old Taoist looked at each book one by one and nodded: "Well, that's right. I have brought all the classics I need. After a long journey, go down and have a rest!"
"Thank you so much, master. Disciple, please leave." After saying that, he cupped his hands to the old eunuch and said, "Father-in-law, please talk to the master. I'll go down and rest first!"
Watching Zeng Yi leave, the old eunuch smiled and said to Sun Laodao: "Master Sun, next time something like this happens, let us handle it. We'll see how tired Jiao Shaoxia will be!"
"Haha, this is also a test for him. Father-in-law, you don't have to worry about him."
The old eunuch stayed for several hours, watching Sun Laodao read through the classics one by one. After confirming that they were indeed just classics, he left. Zeng Yi had nothing to say about this.
The old eunuch was too cautious. As long as he had access to the emperor's things, he had to confirm again and again that there was no problem.
Zeng Yi was also glad that he chose to use elixirs to trick the old emperor. If he had originally planned to bribe or control the people in the imperial kitchen to secretly poison the emperor, he would definitely not have been able to complete it. The old eunuch was so rigorous.
His attitude has long been discovered.
It was not until night that Zeng Yi met the old Taoist again, "Does this old eunuch come here often?"
"Haha, you come here every three days and sometimes help me make elixirs together!" the old Taoist said with a smile.
"This old guy is so vigilant even after repeatedly confirming that there is nothing wrong with us. We have to be more careful in the future so as not to let the cat out of the bag! There is nothing wrong with the elixir. He shouldn't be able to see anything, right?"
"Of course, if he finds out, then I won't come here!" Seeing the confident look on the old man's face, Zeng Yi finally felt relieved.
For a few days after returning to the capital, Zeng Yi did nothing and stayed in this courtyard. Of course, he went to the restaurant regularly every night and his drinking habit continued. After all, this was a good place to connect with Wan Huojing.
Zeng Yi must maintain this method, but these days he is not in a hurry to get in touch with Wanhuo Jing.
A few days later, Sun Laodao's two elixirs were finally refined again. This time the old eunuch came earlier, and the elixirs hadn't even been released yet. This guy had already arrived and just watched Sun Laodao coming out of the elixir furnace.
Take out two pills.
Zeng Yi didn't waste any time. In front of the old eunuch, he seemingly picked one at random and threw it directly into his mouth. Then he put the other one into the elixir box and handed it to the old eunuch.
Sun Laodao watched the old eunuch take the elixir and said, "Daozhang Sun, I haven't seen the emperor for some days. I wonder how the emperor is doing recently?"
"It's not bad, but compared to the past few days, my recent condition has declined. I wonder if it's because of the problem with this pill?"
"Hey, I am incompetent. This golden elixir is still not as good as the legendary elixir. Its efficacy is limited. I think in recent days, the efficacy of the drug should be absorbed almost before the problem of declining status occurs. As long as you take the elixir
, it should be possible to recover!”
"That's good, that's good!"
"If my father-in-law is worried, you can ask me to check on the emperor. After all, I haven't seen the emperor in these days, so I can't guarantee 100%!"
Upon hearing what the old Taoist said, the old eunuch was silent for a moment and then said, "I will start the memorial to Your Majesty."
Sun Laodao didn't really care about the emperor's condition, but he hadn't seen the emperor for a few days, and he was afraid that something unexpected would happen, so he asked to see the emperor's condition.
