Chapter 057 Jin丨Exclusive post by Jiang Wenxue
In order to prevent his research from being disturbed by his stupid brother, and also for safety reasons, Xie Heng made a promise to move the alchemy room outdoors, and selected a person with high Qinggong skills as an assistant to help him light the stove.
The original alchemy room was covered with a layer of black ash, and the wheelchair was smoked black and sent for re-polishing.
Xie Heng was forced to lie in bed to recuperate, while Liu Yixuan got the prescription, memorized the various herbs and the required dosage, wrote a note, folded it into a small piece, stuffed it in his pocket, and went to the kitchen to cook as usual.
While no one was paying attention, he pretended to pick vegetables, put the note in the vegetable basket, picked up a radish, and went to the chopping board to carve it as if nothing had happened.
System: [Old Yan would never have thought that the first time you sent him a message, there was nothing useful, but you were asking him for something.]
Xue Chen: [These things I want are also very useful, okay!]
Old Yan received the note but did not respond immediately.
After a dull afternoon, Liu Yixuan came to the kitchen again and quietly cooked a few dishes. This time, they were still some large soups. He turned around and saw Old Yan who had finished his work and stayed here to help with the face-to-face conversation.
Lao Yan seemed to realize something and raised his head: "What's wrong with the young lady?"
Liu Yixuan pointed to the large soup bowl.
Lao Yan patted the noodles on his hands, washed a handful in the copper basin beside him, and said to the chef in charge of pastry: "I will go to help Miss Liu and deliver the food to the princess."
"Go, go."
Bao Xiruo is kind to others, but she rarely gives money to reward people. She doesn't need many people to serve her, and she doesn't care much about the affairs of the palace. It's better to curry favor with Jian, the housekeeper of the palace, than to curry favor with her. It
was only by virtue of the friendship of fellow townsmen that Liu Yixuan quickly climbed up the ladder.
This is also one of the reasons why Lao Yan was so surprised when he knew that Xiao Liu was adopted as the princess's adopted daughter.
But after seeing Xiao Liu's face, he understood that not everyone can repeat Xiao Liu's success.
Liu Yixuan was walking on the gravel path. Lao Yan, carrying a lunch box, was a few steps behind him. He lowered his head and was as taciturn as the last time they met.
Lao Yan: "I asked someone to look at the prescription. The herbs in it are not difficult to find. But I need to think of a way to deliver it to the mansion quietly. Do you know what effect the prescription has?"
Liu Yixuan looked back.
He did it very naturally, as if he had not heard the sound and couldn't help but want to confirm whether Lao Yan was still there.
Lao Yan remembered that he could not speak, so he said: "If you know, just move your index finger."
Liu Yixuan moved his index finger.
Lao Yan: "Who do you plan to use this prescription on? The prince? The princess? Or the little prince?"
He spoke very slowly, and after each title, he would pause to observe Liu Yixuan's movements.
Noticing that the slender and beautiful woman in front of him did not react at all, he asked: "Neither?"
Liu Yixuan moved her index finger this time.
Lao Yan pondered: "I shouldn't ask about your affairs, but you are still young and new here. I am worried that you don't know the dangers of the palace. I can't help but want to say a few more words. Don't think I'm nagging."
Liu Yixuan moved her index finger again.
Lao Yan: "Wanyan Honglie is obsessed with power and his martial arts skills are only average, but he is rich and powerful, and has recruited many talents. There are seven or eight hundred guards in this mansion. The guard leader Tang Zude has good martial arts skills. He usually teaches the young prince a few boxing and kicking skills, and is respected by the young prince as master. But the young prince's real master is someone else.
"This person is Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen Sect. Although he is a cultivator, he has a chivalrous spirit, superb swordsmanship, and deep internal strength. He doesn't care much about mercy in his daily life, and he is ruthless when killing people. Although he is not the oldest among the Seven Quanzhen Sons, he has the highest martial arts skills. Qiu Chuji was ambitious and was not ashamed to associate with the Kingdom of Jin. However, since the young prince was a Jin person, he usually avoided this matter and there was no conflict.
"Besides him, there are Sha Tongtian, Peng Lianhu, Hou Tonghai and Lingzhi Shangren. These people are all very famous people in the world. Sha Tongtian, the 'Dragon King of Ghost Gate', and Peng Lianhu, the 'Thousand-Handed Man-Slayer', were originally bandits in Hebei and Shanxi. They helped each other, committed many evils, and killed people without blinking an eye. Once they fell into their hands, even if the princess protected him, it would be difficult to escape their poisonous hands."
Liu Yixuan moved his fingers again.
It seems that Liang Ziweng in the original book has not yet surrendered to Wanyan Honglie at this time, which is really the best.
Liang Ziweng is good at using hidden weapons and also raised a huge python. He is a good poisoner. Liu Yixuan picked up the [Poison Resistance] skill partly to guard against him.
No matter how good your Qinggong is, if you accidentally get poisoned, you will still die.
Lao Yan: "Since you already know everything, I won't say any more. Three days later, the medicine you want can be delivered to the palace. Then you can dismiss the servants in your residence. I will come to find you at three o'clock in the morning."
After discussing the delivery of the medicine, Lao Yan said nothing more. He just came to Bao Xiruo and, like last time, took the food box into the house before leaving.
Liu Yixuan waited quietly for three days, and earned a few skill points, and finally upgraded [Qinggong] to the maximum level.
That night, Lao Yan dressed up as an ordinary servant, avoided the patrol guards, walked through the garden in the dark, and came to Liu Yixuan's residence.
He knocked on the door.
Liu Yixuan had been waiting for him for a long time, so he opened the door immediately and stepped aside to let him in.
Lao Yan took out a bulging bag of medicine from his arms: "This is what you want, exactly."
Liu Yixuan smiled gratefully.
Lao Yan stared at him: "If your identity is exposed, I will escape at the first opportunity and will never rescue you. The Jin people will not show mercy because of your beautiful appearance, and may even rape you. I hope you will consider the consequences before acting, and don't be reckless."
Liu Yixuan nodded.
Lao Yan: "Have you made any progress in what I told you
to do?" Liu Yixuan nodded, then shook his head. He pointed in the direction of the front yard and gestured to Lao Yan.
Lao Yan: "Tomorrow?"
Liu Yixuan nodded.
Lao Yan: "Are you ready to take action tonight?"
Liu Yixuan continued to nod, urging Lao Yan to leave with his eyes.
Lao Yan looked at him silently for a while: "You take care of yourself and don't be too eager for quick success. But if you are too stupid, it is better to die early so as not to drag others down. I hope to see you again tomorrow."
Liu Yixuan smiled and waved at him.
Lao Yan turned and left, disappearing into the night.
Liu Yixuan immediately closed the door, took the black clothes that he had thrown under the bed last time and began to change. After wrapping himself up tightly, he pushed open the window and jumped out lightly, but he did not land on the ground, but climbed onto the roof.
Xue Chen: [It feels so good to have full-level Qinggong.]
System: [The wind is so strong——]
Liu Yixuan jumped to another rooftop according to the time. If the patrol guards in front looked back, they would see an obvious black figure.
But the guards in the mansion were very orderly. They only focused on the front, and no one would look back for no reason.
Liu Yixuan came prepared this time. He upgraded the [Lock Picking] skill to level 2 in advance. He jumped down from the roof, took out the silver hairpin from last time, stuffed it into the keyhole, fiddled with it a few times, and the lock opened with a "click".
He quickly slipped into the study and closed the door.
The hazy moonlight shone through the screen window, illuminating a blurry shadow.
With his full-level memory, Liu Yixuan came to the bookcase, searched out a few pieces of paper, and took a look at them in a bright place. All the words written on them were in Jin Dynasty characters.
Liu Yixuan had already activated the [Jurchen Language] skill at the beginning. Although it was only level 1 and he could hardly understand what he heard, he had a full-level memory to help him quickly memorize all the characters on the paper, folded the papers, put them back in place, and restored them to their original state according to his memory.
He waited in the room, calculating the time, and when the people outside left, he quickly came out of the study, closed the door and locked it, and even adjusted the angle of the lock to be exactly the same as when he came in.
System: [Set synchronization rate +4, current vest synchronization rate 57%, 9 skill points can be used.]
Xue Chen: [Add [Jurchen Language].]
The system upgraded his [Jurchen Language] to level 4, and all the skill points were used up.
System: [So smooth, is this what it feels like to have a brain? Did you expect that the synchronization rate would increase when you left, so you upgraded the [Lock Opening] skill instead of upgrading the [Jurchen Language] immediately? 】
Xue Chen: [Stupid, how can I get in if I don't upgrade [Lock Opening]? And even if the skill points don't increase now, there are still 5 backups. 】
