Finish
Cuo Wubing was almost caught. Although he managed to escape, he was still stabbed several times and bled a lot. His wounds have not yet healed fully.
He and Cuo Wushang lived in a wooden house.
The wooden house is a bit shabby and has been empty for a long time. The wooden pillars inside have signs of being bitten by insects. Even if insect repellent powder is sprinkled on it, the wooden house will not last long and will collapse in about four or five years.
"Brother, let's go."
Cuo Wushang called Cuo Wubing, and the two of them prepared to guard the dragon cave like they did in the previous few days.
They brought only enough dry food and water for the day and hurried forward.
But when they arrived at the dragon's cave and took only a few steps, they felt weak all over and had no strength in their hands and feet.
At this time, they didn't know that they had fallen into an ambush.
"Finally, I caught you," the priest came out from the bushes behind, a smile on his face. "Although this method is a bit unorthodox, but when dealing with you, unorthodox methods are also the right way."
Shi Yanqing followed Pang Guan and Xuanyuejin out. She thought there would be a big battle when she came out to catch people this time.
For example, the two sides were fighting each other with swords, but unexpectedly, a piece of cartilage powder captured the enemy.
After capturing the person, Pang Guan took her and many others to the Dragon Cave. They did not go in directly, but first sprinkled medicinal powder inside. About a quarter of an hour later, the three of them went in.
After entering, what you see are witchcrafts of various colors.
They stayed where they were quietly, without making any movement.
In the center of these witchcrafts, there is a thumb-sized white witchcraft. Its body is a few points larger than the other witchcrafts, and it should be about to become the witchcraft king.
Shi Yanqing just quietly observed everything in the dragon cave. She did not walk around or move around, but followed Pang Guan very honestly.
Pang Guan took out a few packets of medicine powder from his medicine bag and gave them to Xuanyi Jin and Shi Yanqing.
"The Gu King is about to take shape. Let's kill the nearby witch Gu first, and then deal with the white one."
Just sprinkle the powder on the witches on the ground and they will die.
Shi Yanqing and Xu Xuanjin took the powder and acted quickly.
As the powder fell, the witch died and an unpleasant yet fragrant smell appeared in the dragon cave.
It was the first time that Shi Yanqing smelled this smell. She felt a little dizzy and her movements became slow.
"Take the detoxification pill quickly." Many people noticed her movements and quickly reminded her.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yanqing immediately took out an antidote pill from her medicine bag and swallowed it. After a few breaths, she clearly felt her body returning to normal.
After they dealt with the witchcraft, Pang Guan also began to deal with the white witchcraft king.
He poured a bottle of potion made of unknown ingredients on the white Gu King. After a while, white smoke came out of the white Gu King's body, and at the same time, a sizzling sound was heard, like the sound of oil boiling in an iron pan.
After dealing with all the witchcraft in the dragon cave, several people took Cuo Wubing and Cuo Wushang and prepared to return to Yunshui County.
......
A month later, a letter arrived in Yunshui County from the capital.
The letter stated that His Majesty had safely given birth to a daughter, and that Zhou Hanzhang's father had been reinstated and had returned to the capital. His Majesty had announced to the court the deposed Crown Prince's alleged rebellion, and everyone knew that Prime Minister Zhou's demotion was a conspiracy orchestrated by His Majesty.
The rest of the Zhou family members were also reinstated one after another.
The Zhou family returned to the capital once again, and came back into the sight of those opportunists and two-faced people, becoming the object of their flattery.
After reading the letter, Shi Yanqing smiled slightly and looked at Zhou Hanzhang who was practicing calligraphy at the desk beside her.
"My third sister wrote to me, saying that His Majesty has explained the Zhou family's affairs to the ministers, and that my father and mother have returned to the capital."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hanzhang put down the pen in his hand and walked over to sit next to Shi Yanqing.
"Yanqing, do you want to go back to the capital?"
Shi Yanqing nodded: "Of course I do. But I want to go back with you more."
Zhou Hanzhang was originally a top scholar in the imperial examinations, but before he could establish himself in the Imperial Academy, his family was in trouble. He had no achievements, so even if he were to be appointed to an official position outside the capital, he would have to start as a county magistrate. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would have to serve as Yunshui County magistrate for another two or three years.
Whether I will be transferred back to the capital or serve as an official elsewhere will depend on Your Majesty's wishes.
However, if he wanted to be transferred back to the capital, there were ways around it. The Zhou family could help, and Shi Yanqing's third brother-in-law could also help.
Zhou Hanzhang was moved. He hugged Shi Yanqing's waist and rubbed his chin on her shoulder. "That's great, that's great."
His Majesty, considering that the little princess was born not long ago and wanting to do good deeds for her, changed the death penalty of the royal family to exile. However, the direct branch that was deeply involved with the black witch was still sentenced to death and was to be beheaded in autumn.
This incident caused quite a stir in Yunshui County. For a while, people did not dare to go out for fun in their spare time, for fear of being implicated by the black witch and losing their lives.
However, as time went by, this matter became a topic of conversation after dinner, and those who were brave enough dared to say a few words.
During this period, Lin Duo brought her elder sister Lin Yun to Qingrentang to find Shi Yanqing to remove the peach blossom nightmare.
Shi Yanqing had previously learned a method to completely remove the peach blossom nightmare from Shan Yao, and this was the first time he used it on Lin Yun.
After the release, she asked Lin Duo to observe Lin Yun's condition carefully and tell her immediately if there was anything unusual.
Fortunately, after Lin Yun got rid of the peach blossom nightmare, her personality and habits all returned to normal and she was no different from before.
Summer arrived quickly, the temperature rose, and the rain became more frequent.
Shi Yanqing received a letter from his uncle, Xi Guan, who reported that a hermit acupuncturist lived in the Qiulan Mountains. His acupuncture techniques were so exquisite that they could cure a wide range of ailments. The acupuncturist was interested in taking on a disciple and passing on his skills, only requesting someone to offer a memorial service a hundred years from now.
Xiguan wrote in the letter that this acupuncturist had a gentle disposition and didn't mind his apprentice having a previous master. If all else failed, he was willing to take on the title of teacher. He urged Shi Yanqing to become his apprentice, or if that wasn't possible, to become his teacher.
After reading the letter, Shi Yanqing was quite interested.
She told Zhou Hanzhang about this. Zhou Hanzhang looked at her intently for a few seconds before sighing, "Yanqing, I'm really reluctant to part with you, but you still have to go. You need to write me a letter in a few days."
Shi Yanqing knew that if this happened to other couples, the husband would most likely not agree with his wife leaving home to study medicine far away, but Zhou Hanzhang was different, he agreed.
She thought about what she had said to her grandmother in the past: most men in the world are passionate, and for a woman, getting married is a gamble, and it doesn't matter who she marries.
Marrying anyone is not marrying, no, no, no, marrying is different from marrying.
Shi Yanqing smiled, she leaned in and kissed Zhou Hanzhang's cheek, "Thank you."
Fortunately, I insisted on my engagement with you and insisted on marrying you.
There are many men in the world, and marrying Zhou Hanzhang is different for her from marrying anyone else.
Before setting off for the Qiulan Mountains, Shi Yanqing went to Huangjia Village again to follow up on the patients there and prescribe medicine.
She told Bai Yuancheng and He Sumu that she was about to leave and asked them if they wanted to go with her.
Bai Yuancheng wanted to go, but he had parents and a newly married wife at home. The burden of life fell on him, and as the pillar of the family, he gave up this opportunity.
He Sumu was young and had no relatives at home, so he went with them.
So, Shi Yanqing took Dan Ye, Qing Ping and He Sumu and set off for the Qiulan Mountains.
On the day of departure, Zhou Hanzhang couldn't help crying again, and Lu Jue, who had just returned, saw it and couldn't help but tease her.
This time when Lu Jue went to the northwest, in addition to finding Bai Fenghua to apologize and express his feelings, he also had to tell His Majesty about the situation in Yunshui County and secretly contact General Xiao Jiu in the northwest.
After he arrived in Baijiao City, he passed the secret letter from His Majesty to Xiao Jiu who was stationed at the border. At that time, Xiao Jiu had also been contacted by the deposed prince's men. After receiving the letter, he planned to take advantage of the situation and cut off the source of the trouble, catching the deposed prince's subordinates off guard.
After the matter was settled, Lu Jue prepared to return to Yunshui County.
However, before going back, he analyzed his past thoughts to Bai Fenghua one by one, and took the opportunity to express his feelings and wanted to propose marriage again.
When Mr. Bai found out, he was naturally furious. His beloved daughter had secretly left Baijiao City for Yunshui County, and he was extremely worried.
My daughter finally came back, but it was gloomy and rainy all the time, and I was in a very depressed mood.
But he couldn't disagree, it mainly depended on Bai Fenghua's opinion.
Bai Fenghua is not the indecisive and hesitant person. When she decided to leave Yunshui County, she had already decided to give up her love for Lu Jue.
After returning, she thought she could find a man she liked in Baijiao City, and they would get married and have children.
Who would have thought that Lu Jue would actually come to Baijiao City and apologize to her.
The time was so short, Bai Fenghua naturally still liked Lu Jue, so at the beginning, she felt happy in her heart, but at the same time she was sulking and expressing that she could not forgive Lu Jue.
But Lu Jue was the person she liked after all, and she finally agreed to his proposal.
As soon as the matter in Yunshui County is settled, Lu Jue will return to Baijiao City.
......
After half a month's journey, Shi Yanqing and others arrived at the Qiulan Mountains.
Acupuncturist Qianshui is a man in his fifties with an expressionless face all day long. Although he has a blank expression, he has a gentle and approachable personality.
At the beginning, Shi Yanqing was still wondering if his uncle had made a mistake in the letter. The acupuncturist's face didn't look gentle at first glance. Later, after getting along for a long time, he gradually realized that Qianshui had a blank expression all day long because his face had been damaged by someone when he was young.
Since then, Qianshui's face could not make any expression. He himself could not accept this, so he decided to study medicine and wanted to find a way to restore his expression.
He was talented and willing to learn, and within ten years he had mastered all the famous acupuncture techniques in the world.
After failing to find any new acupuncture methods, Qianshui went looking for ancient medical books, hoping to find ways to treat his face from these books.
But he still hasn't found it.
This time he spread the news that he had decided to accept disciples, and many doctors came to the Qiulan Mountains.
After several tests, Qianshui finally accepted two apprentices. Shi Yanqing did not become his disciple, she only recognized Qianshui as her teacher.
Although she cannot learn all of Qianshui's needlework in this way, her master is Shi Qingqing, who has grown up with her and is like a half-mother to her.
After starting to study, Shi Yanqing also became busy.
However, she did not forget to write to Zhou Hanzhang every two or three days.
Her letters were all about trivial matters.
For example, what did you eat today, was it delicious, and what fruits are there that are not available in Yunshui County.
For example, talk about what you dreamed about at night, whether you dreamed about him, and express your longing for him.
Once, Xi Guan caught her asking Tan Ye to mail a letter, and couldn't help laughing and saying that the two of them were very sticky.
Shi Yanqing just smiled and said nothing.
Uncle Master has always been alone, how could he understand her feelings?
After staying in the Qiulan Mountains for three months, it was already autumn, and Shi Yanqing decided to set off back to Yunshui County.
She had already learned all the needlework she could from Qianshui, and the rest was up to her to master and understand on her own.
And she missed Zhou Hanzhang a little.
