Chapter 086 Jin丨Exclusive publication
of Jiang Wenxue There is almost no good flesh on Wen Qu's body. The wounds under his clothes have been rotten, and his internal organs have also been damaged to a certain extent.
If he hadn't had internal force to protect his body, and Gong Jiu used ginseng slices to keep him alive, he might not have survived until now.
Xie Heng said to Hu Sheng: "Prepare some hot water, go to the alchemy room to get white hyacinth, Panax notoginseng, peach kernel, angelica, red peony root..."
He listed more than a dozen medicinal herbs, some of which need to be ground into powder for external application, and some medicines need to be boiled into soup for internal consumption.
Hu Sheng wrote them down one by one and prepared them according to what he said.
Xie Heng turned around and looked at Gong Jiu: "Bring the dagger and oil lamp over there."
Gong Jiu did as he was told.
Xie Heng took the dagger and felt that the light was too dim, so he asked Gong Jiu to get some lamps.
After Hu Sheng brought the medicine, Xie Heng took out the white wine to disinfect the dagger.
System: [I thought you poured out all the wine.]
Xue Chen: [Am I that kind of person?]
Xie Heng's legs were not good, but his hands were steady. He slowly cleaned the rotten flesh from Wen Qu's wound and rinsed it with strong liquor. It took him nearly an hour to clean it all.
The anti-inflammatory powder was made by Xie Heng himself, and it had a strong hemostatic effect. He sprinkled it on the wound and bandaged it with a clean white cloth.
Xie Heng leaned back, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said to Hu Sheng: "The soup should be ready, you go and bring it over and feed it to him."
Gong Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Is that all?"
Xie Heng: "It only temporarily suppresses his injuries and will not get worse. Whether he can survive depends on how his internal injuries recover. Where do you plan to put him to recuperate?"
Gong Jiu: "Here."
Xie Heng smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid that your brother will find out?"
Gong Jiu: "As long as you claim that you are refining the elixir, your brother should not disturb you. My brother is gentle and polite, Before coming, I will definitely tell you in advance, you just need to refuse. "
Xie Heng: "What if he finds out anyway?" "
Gong Jiu: "Then I'll have to ask you to take your friends and leave the palace and live outside."
System: [He is so shameless.]
Xue Chen: [Subordinates are used to take the blame. My brother is still smart. The decision he made is beneficial to him.]
System: [Then do you want to let the original body find out?]
Xue Chen: [Forget it. Even if he meets Wen Qu, my brother has plenty of ways to make excuses. It's better to directly catch him with evidence of poisoning my father.]
System: [How do you plan to catch him?]
Xue Chen: [I have been sick these days. My brother must be very sad. He probably has sent people to the front line to let the people he arranged retreat. Xiao Mian, pay attention and catch those people. 】
Gong Jiu knew that he couldn't just let his subordinates take the blame, so before leaving, he specially ordered people to settle Wen Qu, and also sent many precious medicinal materials, pill recipes, medical books and Taoist classics to Xie Heng, which should have been prepared before he came.
Xie Heng sat in a wheelchair, watching indifferently as boxes of things were sent in, and occasionally told the people who were carrying things where to put the boxes.
System: [Your brother is really generous.]
Xue Chen: [Isn't it? Fifty taels of gold for a meal, and I don't know how much it cost to buy these things. I was wondering why there were always some mistakes in the accounts managed by Xie Heng, it turns out he threw them out himself.]
System: [It's terrible not to be able to count. 】
Xue Chen: [Fortunately, he went out to start a business, otherwise the whole palace would have squandered all his money... It's a pity that he didn't follow the rules and laws when starting a business, and all his income was illegal... Why did I let him manage the accounts? 】
System: [...] Because you are a hopeless brother-con!
After treatment, Wen Qu finally stopped being as cold as a corpse, and his body temperature rose rapidly.
Xie Heng was well prepared. He asked Gong Jiu for ice cubes, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and placed them on his forehead, armpits, palms and soles to cool him down. He also prepared a new prescription and continued to treat him.
Wen Qu burned for a day and regained consciousness in the evening. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pale and thin young man lying on the bed, with a little black under his eyes, looking extremely tired.
Wen Qu looked at him blankly, and after a while he remembered that
he was involved in the dispute between Daxing and Jin because of "a piece of poisonous rust". After being caught, he was tortured for the formula of "a piece of poisonous rust". He told the formula, and the gang forced him to modify the poison to make it faster and easier to control.
Later...
"You're awake." Xie Heng squinted for a while, then looked up at Wen Qu, who had already opened his eyes. "I'm glad you're awake. Are you not stupid? Do you still remember who you are?"
Wen Qu looked at him, his voice weak and hoarse: "Who... are you?"
Xie Heng pushed the wheelchair, went to the table at the back to get a bowl of water, put it on his legs, came to the bed, and used a spoon to send the water to Wen Qu's mouth.
Wen Qu then realized that the young man who was guarding him was actually sitting in a wheelchair.
He was so thirsty that he couldn't wait to swallow, not afraid of the poison in the water at all, and looked unsuspecting.
Xie Heng: "This is the Taiping Palace."
Wen Qu: "Why am I here?"
Xie Heng: "You were seriously injured, and the people from the Nameless Island sent you to me for treatment."
Wen Qu: "It turns out that I still can't escape your control."
Xie Heng: "It's them."
Wen Qu: "You are not from the Nameless Island?"
Xie Heng: "Only on the surface, I am from the Nameless Island, but in fact, I am under the orders of Master Xue of the Taiping Palace. At that time, I was the only one who knew that you woke up. Do you have anything to say?"
Wen Qu: "I am a drug maker, but that doesn't mean I have no conscience. I will never use a poison rust to deal with a big bank! Just give up on this idea!"
Xie Heng smiled: "You must be mistaken. Prince Taiping fought for his country and was irreconcilable with the Jin people. The same is true for Master Xue."
Wen Qu had just recovered from the fever and his head was dizzy. Now he was getting more and more confused: "How did the people from the nameless island appear in Prince Taiping's mansion?"
Xie Heng just smiled and said nothing.
Wen Qu didn't dwell on this question. He recalled what happened before he was beaten half to death: "I have been making poison for half my life. Three months ago, I accidentally developed 'a poison rust'. The medicine man in my place only follows orders, and the effect cannot be verified. In order to determine the effect of this poison, I captured a golden man in Luoyang, controlled him with voice, and assassinated his companions."
System: [I thought he was in a neutral camp and leaned towards Daxing. I didn't expect him to have a medicine man. He feels so evil.]
Xue Chen: [Don't forget, Qi Shaoshang pretended to be a medicine man in Jiuyou Shenjun's place.]
That kind of medicine man is like a puppet, with a dull expression, stereotyped actions, and only follows orders. You can tell something is wrong at a glance.
But it works very well, especially for those with high martial arts skills. After being made into a medicine man, it is like having an extra sharp weapon, which is more useful than Yunheyan.
Wen Qu continued, "I hid in a hidden place and controlled it with the sound of the flute. I saw his companions die with my own eyes, and I knew that the poison was effective. Unexpectedly, the other Jin people who accompanied me noticed me. They were tolerant and did not care about what I did. Instead, they were very interested in the poison and asked me if I wanted to find someone else to experiment with it. They could think of a way."
Xie Heng turned the wheelchair again and poured him a bowl of water.
Wen Qu had enough strength, so he took the bowl and took a sip. "What happened to your leg?"
Xie Heng said, "Don't bother, please continue."
Wen Qu said, "They took my poison and put it directly into the water, and used the flute to control those people and let them kill people. I originally thought that they just didn't understand the efficacy and dosage of the medicine, but I didn't expect these Jin people to directly order the poisoned people to form a team to work for them!"
Xie Heng probably knew what happened later.
The Jin people acted on their own initiative and used drugs to control many people, letting them cause chaos everywhere, hunting down Lu Xiaofeng who might have contacted the source, assassinating Gong Jiu and Xue Chen, and controlling the Pingyang Prefecture garrison to mutiny.
Xie Heng: "I heard that the King of Taiping was attacked by the Jin people on the front line. The attackers were all poisoned by a rust."
Wen Qu: "I didn't want to associate with the Jin people. They were afraid that I would use poison, so they were always respectful and didn't dare to offend me. Later, I left Dadu and wanted to go back to Luoyang, but I was surrounded by people from the nameless island on the way. They were more unreasonable than the Jin people. They took away my poison and forced me to tell them the formula. I couldn't stand the severe punishment and told them the formula. They Forced me to improve the formula."
Xie Heng: "You did it?"
Wen Qu: "I thought this group of people also belonged to the Jin Kingdom. The poison they need is easier to control after the poison takes effect, without having to use a specific rhythm to affect the mind first and then control the body. If it is used on the front line, it will definitely affect the war situation. I refused to do it, and was tortured into this state."
His injuries were personally treated by Xie Heng, and no one knew it better than Xie Heng.
Except for his hands and facial features, Wen Qu had almost no good meat on other parts of his body. His abdomen, arms, and thighs were all whip marks and burns.
Xie Heng was puzzled: "Since they don't care about your life, why did they go through so much trouble to send you to the Taiping Palace for me to treat you?"
Wen Qu closed his eyes, not daring to look him in the eye. He said hoarsely: "Because I still agreed."
Xie Heng said softly: "Survival is human instinct. Don't think too much and rest here. I will tell the people on the Nameless Island that you woke up, and I will also tell Master Xue about the whole story. You are a very good talent, but what we need more than poison is an antidote."
"Hasn't someone already made an antidote for the poison rust?" When it comes to making poison, Wen Qu's eyes light up, "This person can make an antidote in such a short time. He must be a master of poison. If I can survive, I really want to learn from him."
What master of poison? He is just an alchemist, how can he know how to use poison!
Xie Heng: "Of course it's not the antidote for this kind of poison, but the antidote for thousands of poisons. You have a good rest, I'll go call someone over."
Wen Qu called him: "Wait!"
Xie Heng: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Wen Qu: "The young master of the Nameless Island is named Gong Jiu. Although I have never seen him, I have heard from other people that this person is as cunning as a fox and unfathomable. You must be careful."
Xie Heng smiled and said: "I will."
Wen Qu asked hesitantly: "What's your name? Can I see you again?"
Xie Heng: "My name is Xie Heng, I live in this small courtyard, and the house next door is my residence. People around me are not trustworthy. When you see me next time, please be more restrained and don't let me reveal my identity."
Wen Qu knew why he was so frank with him. He didn't want to let him down, so he thought for a moment: "The power of the Nameless Island is very large, and they have people everywhere. The whereabouts of King Taiping were leaked, and it should be that someone in the nearby state and town informed the Kingdom of Jin."
"Thank you, I will report the matter to you truthfully."
After Xie Heng finished speaking, he pushed the wheelchair to the door and opened the door with difficulty.
Hu Sheng came over with the medicine: "Master, do you have any instructions?"
Xie Heng: "Give me the medicine, and you go tell Gong Jiu that Wen Qu is awake."
-
Yun Heyan ate and drank all the way, and it took two days to get to the capital of the Jin Kingdom.
The synchronization rate has only increased by 5 percentage points in the past two days, and the synchronization rate of the vests is only 21%. Xue Chen's several vests are still having headaches, but the pain is weaker than at the beginning.
System: [Do we have to beg on the street this time? ]
Xue Chen: [No need, Da Mian is not here as an undercover agent, and can use other reasons to enter the palace. He
adjusted his hat and came to Prince Zhao's mansion. He was stopped by the guards at the door: "Who are you?"
Yun Heyan whispered: "I heard that the Sixth Prince is willing to treat the virtuous with respect and recruit talented people. I think my martial arts are not bad, and I am willing to serve Prince Zhao."
The guards went to report.
After a while, Butler Jian came out from inside. After seeing Yun Heyan, he nodded slightly: "What is your name?"
The young man in black said: "Yun Heyan."
Butler Jian: "Excuse me, Mr. Yun, can you take off your hat?"
Yun Heyan took off his hat.
In the sunlight, his face became paler, and the red at the end of his eyes was set off even redder, revealing a bit of demonic.
"Are you ready?" Yun Heyan asked.
"Okay... okay." Butler Jian nodded.
He wanted to see Yun Heyan's face, but he felt that this person was hiding something and was afraid that his intentions were not pure. However, after seeing his appearance, this idea was dispelled.
Judging from the appearance of this Mr. Yun, he is wearing a Dou-li hat. It should not be to avoid enemies or because of his status. It is very likely that this is the martial arts he has practiced.
Butler Jian does not know martial arts, but he has dealt with many Jianghu heroes in the mansion. He knows that they have all kinds of strange habits, and many of them raise poisonous insects. This man is just wearing a Dou-li hat, which is nothing.
Butler Jian said, "Mr. Yun, please."
Yun Heyan was not used to being exposed to the light. He squinted his eyes and put on the Dou-li hat again. The black veil hung down to cover his handsome face.
Butler Jian was a kind person. He did not look down on these Jianghu people just because he was in the palace.
He asked affectionately: "How did Master Yun think of working for the prince?"
Yun Heyan was very cold to the outside world. He was tall and had a strong aura just standing there. Moreover, there was an inexplicable difference between those who had killed people and those who had not. As a killer, he was different from ordinary people at a glance.
Even if Butler Jian didn't know any martial arts, he could tell that Yun Heyan was not an ordinary person.
Yun Heyan: "I heard that you have a cook who is very good at cooking."
Butler Jian was stunned: "Cook, cook?"
Yun Heyan nodded, and Dou Li nodded along with his movements.
Butler Jian saw his clearly defined jaw through the black veil: "You are talking about Miss Liu, right? Miss Liu is a good cook, but she is not a lowly cook, but the adopted daughter of our princess. She is of noble status, and not everyone can eat the meals she cooks."
Yun Heyan: "I just have one request."
Butler Jian smiled: "I can't make the decision on this matter, and I still need the prince to decide. Mr. Yun, please come with me to the flower room. After the prince finishes handling government affairs, he will come to see you in person."
The flower room is similar to the living room, which is a place used specifically for meeting guests. Only wealthy families have so much open space to set aside such a room.
Xue Chen: [Wanyan Honglie is really good at imitating Han people.]
System: [Yes. 】
Xue Chen:【He is also a talented person, but unfortunately his stance is different... However, if his behavior is placed in the court of a big bank, it will probably cause a bloody storm. Thinking about it this way, it doesn't matter which side he is on. What is supposed to happen will still happen, and it will not disappear because of a person's change.】
System:【Don't you hate the sadness of spring and autumn?】
Xue Chen:【Wow, I'm a little greedy, divert your attention.】
System:【???】
Xue Chen:【Do you think Xiao Liu can make cakes? And those spicy things, is there a substitute without chili peppers? If the spicy taste of ginger is used to replace chili peppers, I can't accept it at all.】
System:【……】I shouldn't care about him.
Yun Heyan came to the greenhouse and sat down in a corner by herself. When she walked over, she did not forget to pick up the snack on the table.
Seeing this, Butler Jian thought that Master Yun looked cold and gloomy, but he didn't expect that he was actually a gourmet. No wonder he came to the palace specifically for Miss Liu's craftsmanship.
He quietly withdrew and went to Wanyan Honglie.
Yun Heyan took a bite of the snack and spit it out immediately.
System: [Is it not delicious?]
Xue Chen: [If it is not so bad, it is quite delicious.]
System: [……]
The maids brought tea over, removed the snacks on the table, replaced them with a new plate, and placed some fruits and vegetables, and said softly: "Please enjoy, Master Yun."
Yun Heyan took off her hat and took a new snack. This time it tasted good, and it should be freshly baked.
He said to the system: [It seems that Wanyan Honglie wants to recruit me. This matter is settled. However, before that, he should test my ability first.]
System: [How to test?]
Xue Chen: [Of course, let other people in his house come to attack, or provoke me in person and force me to take action. In this way, there will be a rift between me and other guests, which will be convenient for him to control. He will find out the details of my martial arts and show up in time to help me stop the trouble and sell me a good thing.]
System: [You are really cunning.]
Xue Chen: [Compared to you, it is indeed a lot.]
System: [……]
While there was no trouble, Yun Heyan quickly ate.
The snacks in the palace were not very satisfactory. The fruits were very fresh. The purple grapes were full of grapes, juicy and sweet. The pomegranate seeds were like rubies and very beautiful in color.
Yun Heyan ate a little of each and soon finished all the fruits on the plate. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with satisfaction: [It’s really comfortable not to have to observe etiquette.]
System: [Didn’t you observe it?]
Xue Chen: [Generally speaking, people only taste a little. Except for children, no one will eat a lot in other people’s homes. If it were the original body, I would definitely have to pretend to be reserved and put it down after taking a bite.]
System: [It’s really very restrained for you.]
Xue Chen: [My acting skills are still good.]
System: […]
You are only acting in the original body, right?
Yun Heyan heard some footsteps, quickly stood up with the sword in hand, took a small snack with his left hand and put it into his mouth, biting it.
The opponent really attacked as soon as he met him, leaving him no time to react.
Yun Heyan was not at a disadvantage, and drew his sword to attack.
