Chapter 135 Disgusting Braised Pork

at the same time.

In a farmyard near the outskirts of Beijing.

Shi Chaoqing's face turned pale. "Say it again?"

"Master, His Majesty is critically ill and has handed over all court affairs to Prince Gaoyang. Prince Gaoyang is now vigorously supporting the Second Prince, who is backed by the General of the Auxiliary State. Prince Gaoyang now has power and troops in his hands, and he has the potential to undermine our Western Xia."

Another person was indignant: "Prince Gaoyang fled to Xixia like a loser, and Daliang is full of treacherous villains!"

Shi Chaoqing gritted his teeth and asked, "Where's my mother?"

"The Empress is currently imprisoned by Prince Gaoyang, who promised to release her if you bring the Saint back to Xixia."

Shi Chaoqing was furious: "How dare you! Prince Gaoyang is so bold now. I wonder who is the true master of Xixia."

"Then Xiao Qinyu might have died eight hundred years ago! Where can we find him?"

The subordinate hesitated and said, "Master, I have a suggestion."

"explain."

"I wonder if you all remember that the Duke of Zhenguo's second son, Qi Yunpei, was recaptured by His Majesty. I remember that Qi Yunpei followed the Saint to Daliang, and later disappeared with the Saint... Four years ago, our spies reported that Qi Yunpei had been sent to Baiyun Temple by the Duke of Zhenguo. Our people investigated but couldn't find him. It's impossible that the Qi family really killed Qi Yunpei. Perhaps after four years, there is more news?"

Shi Chaoqing narrowed his eyes and suddenly curled his lips: "No matter what, go find Qi Yunpei."

Once upon a time in Western Xia, the Saint and Qi Yunpei were inseparable.

Just find Qi Yunpei and then find a woman with a figure similar to Xiao Qinyu.

Just like when he disguised himself as the real eldest young master of the Shi family, who could recognize him?

"yes!"

-

Jiang Yunzheng closed her eyes and fell asleep when the sky turned blue. When she opened her eyes, Qi Yunshen was no longer by her side.

There were voices outside the house.

Jiang Yunzheng changed her clothes. In the yard, Qi Yunshen was talking to Gao Xiu with a normal expression.

There were several sets of spare clothes and ointments on the table, and Gao Chen squatted on the ground playing with the soil.

"It seems that Brother Qi is no longer in serious condition."

Qi Yunshen said calmly, "Doctor Gao is a very skilled doctor."

Gao Xiu's smile faltered slightly. He glanced at the cocoon on Qi Yunshen's knuckles and asked, "Brother Qi, are you a martial artist?"

Qi Yunshen did not deny it: "When I was young, my family had some spare money, so I hired a teacher to teach me some tricks, but they are not presentable."

There was a noise behind them, and they both looked at Jiang Yunzheng.

Jiang Yunzheng smiled faintly: "Good morning, Doctor Gao."

Gao Xiu nodded, and Gao Chen spoke first: "Sister Yunzheng, my eldest brother is getting married this afternoon, you must come to the ceremony!"

Qi Yunshen: "Of course."

Jiang Yunzheng's eyes flashed with surprise: "Congratulations, Doctor Gao."

After Gao Xiu left, Qi Yunshen asked Jiang Yunzheng to prepare dinner.

Breakfast was porridge cooked by Qi Yunshen. He went to the nearest house early in the morning to borrow rice. The owner of the house was an old lady, and she gave Qi Yunshen a few bowls and plates.

The old woman's eyesight and hearing were not very good. She looked at Qi Yunshen and said, "Are you from outside? If you are from outside, there is a road in the back mountain that can lead you out."

After saying that, the old woman slammed the door shut.

Jiang Yunzheng stirred the porridge and whispered, "She let us go?"

Qi Yunshen nodded.

Jiang Yunzheng: "Then we can't leave. Doctor Gao wasn't married yesterday, and now he's suddenly getting married today."

Qi Yunshen glanced at her and asked, "Didn't the medicine he prescribed for me last night?"

Jiang Yunzheng nodded casually and glanced at the medicine stove in the corner of the yard. "His medicine was poisonous. He thought I didn't know medicine. I waited for him to leave yesterday and then made a new anesthetic for him."

In addition to the anesthetic herbs in Gao Xiu's medicine yesterday, there was also a herb called lianmazi. The dosage of lianmazi was increased a lot. Just drinking one bowl would cause hallucinations.

At that time, Jiang Yunzheng felt that there was a problem with the village, and at most it was a matter of stealing money.

In reality, the village is much more complicated than she thought.

Seeing Qi Yunshen looking at her meaningfully, Jiang Yunzheng pursed her lips:

"It's just an anesthetic, nothing else."

Qi Yunshen hummed: "Even if it's poison, I'll drink it."

Jiang Yunzheng blushed when Qi Yunshen looked at her: "I won't poison anyone."

Qi Yunshen smiled faintly: "Yes, whatever Doctor Jiang does is right."

Jiang Yunzheng didn't want to talk to Qi Yunshen, so she put down the bowl and went back to the house.

Qi Yunshen cleaned up the dishes and took Jiang Yunzheng out.

The men in Songshu Village seemed diligent. Adults and children went out early in the morning, carrying hoes. The Gao family courtyard, which seemed a little deserted yesterday, was now decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

Several elderly women were helping to clean the yard. Although it was a happy day, there was no smile on their faces.

Gao Xiu was dressed in red and had a handsome appearance. He stood in the yard with a rather good temperament.

Jiang Yunzheng murmured, "I wonder who the bride is?"

Qi Yunshen glanced at the Gao family yard, then suddenly stared at a room in the corner of the Gao family, and a pair of hurried and dark eyes flashed by.

Qi Yunshen narrowed his eyes slightly and held Jiang Yunzheng's hand tightly.

Jiang Yunzheng half-knelt down, staring at a small piece of land under the outer wall of the Gao family, with a complicated expression on her face.

Qi Yunshen: "What's wrong? What is that?"

Jiang Yunzheng looked at Qi Yunshen and said simply: "Aphrodisiac grass."

Qi Yunshen: “……?”

Jiang Yunzheng coughed lightly and leaned close to Qi Yunshen's ear, the woman's breath spraying on his ear and neck.

"That's Cistanche deserticola, commonly known as aphrodisiac grass. Are the men in the village in such high demand for it?"

Jiang Yunzheng's eyes blinked.

Qi Yunshen paused for a moment, and whispered, "Until now, almost all the people I've seen in the village are men, but there are very few girls of marriageable age."

Jiang Yunzheng muttered, "Are they trying to give birth to a son here? There can't be no girls at all, right? I don't see many pregnant women..."

Jiang Yunzheng paused. There were few women here, and that thing Gao Xiu sent last night...

Meeting Qi Yunshen's gaze, Qi Yunshen shook his head and told her not to act rashly.

Gao Xiu noticed the two of them and invited them into the yard.

Jiang Yunzheng smiled and said, "Doctor Gao is getting married today. My husband and I, in gratitude to your village for its kindness, should offer you a wedding gift... However, we are stranded here now, and we can't offer a proper gift at the moment. When the guards come, we will give it to Doctor Gao as a congratulatory gift."

Gao Xiu's eyes changed slightly: "Guard?"

Gao Xiu and several people in the yard looked at each other, each with a different expression.

Qi Yunshen hummed, "My wife and I were originally on our way back from my wife's parents' home. We hired a special escort carriage for us, but unexpectedly the carriage overturned on the way. I'm sure the escort agency will be here soon. I'll have to trouble you, Doctor Gao, for a few more days."

Gao Xiu regained his composure and said, "Brother Qi, you're welcome."

Jiang Yunzheng looked curious and asked, "Doctor Gao, which family does the bride belong to? We might as well go over and take a look."

As soon as the words came out, Yu Guangzhong and several middle-aged women paused in their movements.

Gao Xiu pointed to the small room.

"We grew up together. Her parents passed away early, and there were no elders at home. So I discussed it with the village elders, and she married out of my family. She had a quarrel with me last night, and now she doesn't want to see anyone. I'm really ashamed."

Jiang Yunzheng looked towards the small window, but could not see anything inside.

Jiang Yunzheng curled her lips and said, "Then I can finally see the bride tonight."

Gao Xiu nodded.

Qi Yunshen finished what he wanted to say, and said calmly: "Then let's walk around nearby."

Gao Xiu: "It's easy. Gao Chen, you lead the way."

Gao Chen: "Let's go!"

Gao Chen led them for a long walk, and when they reached a fork in the road, Gao Chen's eyes flickered: "Brother Qi, Sister Yunzheng, this is the village chief's house. They just slaughtered a pig last night. Let's go over and see if there is anything delicious?"

Qi Yunshen's expression was gentle. He held Jiang Yunzheng's hand the entire time, and there was a cold look in his eyes: "I'm sorry for bothering you last night."

Gao Chen laughed heartily: "I specially gave you a lot of braised pork last night. How does it taste?"
